Objective:To investigate the development of receptive and expressive vocabulary in Mandarin-speaking children with cochlear implants (CI) during the first year after CI activation.Methods:A total of 827 children (411 boys and 416 girls) who were implanted CI before 2.5 years of age from October 2019 to December 2022 in the Department of Auditory Implantation, Shandong Provincial ENT Hospital were included in this study. The Infant Checklist of the Mandarin Early Vocabulary Inventory (EVI) was used to assess the quantity and content of receptive and expressive vocabulary at the time of CI activation and at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th months post-activation. SPSS 22.0 was used to describe the receptive and expressive vocabulary of CI children at the first year after activation.Results:During the first year after CI activation, CI children′s receptive and expressive vocabulary consistently increased with the CI usage. The average number of receptive vocabulary and expressive vocabulary respectively increased from 0 to 178, and from 0 to 97. At the first year of post-activation, the number of receptive and expressive vocabulary of CI children were superior to that of hearing-age matched typical-hearing children, but fell behind of that of chronological age matched typical-hearing children. In terms of lexical categories, receptive and expressive vocabulary was acquired in the following order: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pronouns. Among the top 50 words that CI children could express, nouns were the most common, then followed by verbs, adjectives, and pronouns. Father′s education level can significantly and positively predictethe receptive vocabulary of CI children at the first year post-activation. At the first year after CI activation, the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles were 113, 149, 178, 202, 223 for the receptive vocabulary, and 9, 37, 97, 148, 188 for expressive vocabulary.Conclusion:For Mandarin speaking children with CI, the receptive and expression vocabulary continuely increased within the first year after CI activation. The ability to grasp receptive vocabulary precedes the ability to express expressive vocabulary. Compared to hearing-age matched typical-hearing children, CI children showed faster rate of the vocabulary growth, and earlier and more frequently verb expression. However, it still larged behind that of chronological age matched hearing normal children. CI children respectively understood and expressed nouns and verbs the first. In children with CI, the first concepts understood and expressed were nouns and verbs. Among the first 50 words expressed, nouns were the most numerous, and the age at which verbs were acquired was earlier than that for hearing-age matched typical-hearing children.

Objective:To compare the outcomes of percutaneous transhepatic one-step biliary fistulation (PTOBF) lithotripsy for type Ⅱa hepatolithiasis performed via the left or right lobe.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 79 patients with type Ⅱa hepatolithiasis treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020, including 38 males and 41 females, aged (52.9±14.0) years. All patients had received PTOBF lithotripsy in single channel and divided into left lobe group ( n=40) and right lobe group ( n=39) according to different puncture approaches. Clinical data in immediate and final stone clearance rate, operation time of lithotripsy, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications (ascites, biliary tract infection), postoperative hospitalization time, reactive pleural effusion rate, the number of lithotripsy procedures and target bile duct dilatation diameter were compared between the two groups. Results:Compared with left lobe group, right lobe group had higher immediate stone clearance [51.3%(20/39) vs 22.5%(9/40)], less lithotripsy procedures [(2.4±1.0) vs (1.9±1.0)], but had longer postoperative hospitalization time [5(3, 6)d vs 3(2, 6)d] and higher reactive pleural effusion rate [23.1%(9/39) vs 2.5%(1/40)], the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). No significant difference was found in target bile duct dilatation diameter, final stone clearance rate, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complication rate, and operation time of lithotripsy (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared to the left lobe approach, right lobe approach could be prioritized in PTOBF lithotripsy for type Ⅱa hepatolithiasis, considering its higher immediate stone clearance and less lithotripsy procedures, but this surgical approach should pay attention to the occurrence of reactive pleural effusion.

Objective:Examining the risk factors for stone recurrence after percutaneous transhepatic one-step biliary fistulation (PTOBF) and lithotripsy for hepatic bile duct stones.Methods:The clinical data of 70 patients with hepatic bile duct stones combined with bile duct stenosis who underwent PTOBF lithotripsy at the First Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from September 2016 to February 2023 were analyzed retrospectively, including 28 males and 42 females with the age of (48.9±17.5) years old. The patients were divided into two groups according to stone recurrence: recurrence group ( n=25) and non-recurrence group ( n=45). Clinical data such as age, gender, medical history, number of surgeries, and time with tube were recorded. Follow-up was performed by telephone and outpatient review. Multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of stone recurrence. Results:Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences between the age, stone length diameter, number of stones, stage I undischarged stenosis, and number of surgeries between patients in the recurrent and non-recurrent groups (all P<0.05). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that stone length ≥20 mm ( OR=4.389, 95% CI: 1.111-17.340, P=0.035), stage I undischarged stenosis ( OR=4.638, 95% CI: 1.170-18.385, P=0.029), and multiple number of operations ( OR=1.842, 95% CI: 1.031-3.290, P=0.039) had a high risk of stone recurrence after PTOBF lithotripsy in patients with hepatic bile duct stones. Conclusion:Stone length ≥20 mm, stage I unresolved stenosis, and number of surgeries were independent risk factors for stone recurrence in patients with hepatobiliary stones combined with bile duct stenosis after PTOBF and lithotripsy for hepatic bile duct stones.

Objective: To explore the impact of tennis on the visual health of primary school students, so as to provide a basis for myopia prevention. Methods: In September 2021, a total of 202 third grade students from Fengtai Affiliated School of Renmin University of China in Beijing were recruited, with 75 students in the intervention group and 127 students in the control group. In addition to attending the same cultural and physical education courses, the intervention group added a tennis course twice a week and tested their vision before the intervention (September 2021), middle (January 2022) and later (June 2022). Data collected at different time points in the two groups were analyzed by using independent sample t-test for comparison between blocks, and single factor repeated measurement ANOVA for analysis of time point factors. Results: After intervention, among male subjects, the average visual acuity of the left and right eyes in the intervention group were higher than that in the control group at the third visual acuity test (left eye:5.00±0.13,4.88±0.29, right eye:5.00±0.12,4.88±0.30, t =2.33, 2.36, P <0.05). Among female subjects, the second visual acuity test (left eye:5.03±0.17, 4.86±0.21, right eye:5.03±0.15, 4.85±0.23) and the third visual acuity test (left eye:4.97±0.13, 4.81±0.23, right eye:4.97±0.14, 4.82±0.24) showed that the average visual acuity of the left and right eyes in the intervention group were higher than that in the control group among females (second: t =3.84, 3.87, third: t =3.70, 3.46, P < 0.01 ). After intervention, the detection rate of visual impairment in both males and females control groups increased at three tests, with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=17.86, 34.77, P <0.01). In the first visual acuity test, there was no statistically significant difference in the detection rate of visual impairment between the control group and the intervention group for both males and females ( χ 2=0.01, 0.10, P >0.05). The third visual impairment detection rate of males in the intervention group was lower than that of the control group (20.00% vs 45.45%), while the second and third visual impairment detection rates of female students in the intervention group were lower than those of the control group (22.86% vs 54.00%; 28.57% vs 70.00%) ( χ 2=7.34, 8.24, 14.18, P < 0.01). Conclusions Tennis can alleviate and prevent the occurrence of myopia in primary school students to a certain extent. Sports such as tennis should be actively promoted to protect the visual health of primary school students.

Objective To investigate the effect of different optimization algorithms on accurate reconstruction of traffic accidents. Methods Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II ( NSGA-II), neighborhood cultivation genetic algorithm (NCGA) and multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) were used to optimize the multi-rigid body dynamic reconstruction of a real case. The effects of different optimization algorithms on convergence speed and optimal approximate solution were studied. The optimal initial impact parameters were simulated as boundary conditions of finite element method, and the simulated results were compared with the actual injuries. Results NCGA had a faster convergence speed and a better result in optimization process. The kinematic response of pedestrian vehicle collision reconstructed by the optimal approximate solution was consistent with the surveillance video. The prediction of craniocerebral injury was basically consistent with the cadaver examination. Conclusions The combination of optimization algorithm, rigid multibody and finite element method can complete the accurate reconstruction of traffic accidents and reduce the influence of human factors.

Objective:To investigate the ethics and existing problems of experimental animals in medical experiments and experimental teaching, and to formulate countermeasures so that animal ethics and animal welfare can be truly reflected in medical experiments.Methods:In this study, a "Basic Function Experiment Center Animal Experiment Questionnaire" with 25 questions was formulated from three aspects: the ethical cognition of experimental animals, whether animal experiments are ethical or not, how to view the problems of animal ethics and experimental teaching and the cognition of virtual simulation experiment teaching. Questionnaire was sent to Hubei University of Medicine to investigate the international students of Batch 2017 (5-year program), undergraduates of Batch 2017 (5-year program) and nursing students of Batch 2018 (4-year program) as well as teachers, researchers and employees of laboratory animal center (all with bachelor degree or above). The survey results were expressed as percentage.Results:The recovery rate of the questionnaire in this study was 98.04%(2 451/2 500), among which the practitioners, teachers and researchers in the laboratory animal center clearly understood the ethics of experimental animals, but there was a widespread phenomenon of lagging ethics among the students. For example, 16.24% (398/2 451) students had not received animal experiment ethics education and training, 29.46% (722/2 451) were not clear about animal protection laws and regulations, 7.14% (175/2 451) thought animal experiments were immoral; 29.54% (724/2 451) had vague cognition of animal welfare and ethical knowledge; 25.91% (635/2 451) were not familiar with the operation steps; 9.38% (230/2 451) were indifferent to the extra treatment of animals due to operation errors, 7.83% (192/2 451) chose to give up the experiment in the treatment of animals after massive bleeding, only 5.43% (133/2 451) chose to continue the experiment after timely hemostasis and infusion, and 9.26% (227/2 451) chose to do operations unrelated to the experiment. After the experiment, 2.28% (56/2 451) chose to kill the animals by bloodletting, only 5.51% (135/2 451) chose excessive anesthesia euthanasia, and 1.96% (48/2 451) chose to kill the animals by cervical dislocation and violence. Only 15.79% (387/2 451) chose to remember the dead animal for 2 minutes. Only 32.56%(798/2 451) of the respondents understood virtual simulation experiment, 34.92% (856/2 451) of the respondents thought that virtual simulation experiment or experimental teaching video could be used to replace the existing live animal experiment, 77.56% (1 901/2 451) believed that the construction of virtual simulation laboratory should be strengthened.Conclusion:It is imperative to strengthen the education of students' ethics of experimental animals, which is conducive to the establishment of correct ethics of experimental animals for medical students, so that the "3R" principle and animal welfare can be truly implemented in experimental teaching and scientific research experiments.

The present pandemic prevention and control of 2019 novel coronavirus diseases(COVID-19) is still severe in China and abroad, which is however witnessing a dimensional application and success of the information technology.For example, the remote consultation system of epidemic prevention and control had played a key role in Henan province in its fight against COVID-19. The architecture of the system was composed of software and hardware architecture, data exchange technology, security system design, and data collection specifications. By the end of September 2021, the audio and video systems of 147 designated hospitals for patients of COVID-19 had been constructed, and 98 of which had achieved clinical data sharing and interaction. The remote consultation system effectively guaranteed the real-time sharing of case data, saved diagnosis costs and treatment time, laying a solid foundation for the pandemic prevention and control of COVID-19.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors related to the hemodynamic instability occurring after carotid artery stenting(CAS) in elderly patients with carotid artery stenosis.Methods:The clinical data of 80 patients with carotid artery stenosis, who were treated with CAS at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University during the period from January 2018 to Decmber 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. Record demographic characteristics (age, gender, height, weight), history of underlying diseases (hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, heart failure, etc.), history of medications, etc. Observe the clinical parameters such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urine volume, input and output, albumin, hemoglobin, location of stenosis, and degree of stenosis. Measurement data conforming to the normal distribution were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation ( Mean± SD), and the t-test was used for comparison between groups; the measurement data that does not conform to the normal distribution were expressed as the median (interquartile range) [ M( P25, P75)] indicates that the rank sum test was used for comparison between groups; the Chi-square test was used for comparison of count data between groups. Relevant variables were subjected to single factor analysis, and statistically significant indicators were selected according to the results of single factor analysis to be included in the multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results:After CAS, a total of 37 patients among the 80 patients developed hemodynamic instability, the incidence rate was 46.25%. Univariate analysis indicated that the factors associated with the occurrence of postoperative hemodynamic instability included height , platelet count, ulceration plaque and the fluid intake in the first 24 hours after surgery; Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the presence of ulceration plaque ( OR=11.559, 95% CI: 1.232-108.495) and the fluid intake in the first 24 hours after surgery( OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.001) were the independent risk factors related to the hemodynamic instability after CAS. Conclusion:Elderly patients with the presence of ulceration plaque before surgery are more likely to develop hemodynamic instability after CAS, and within 24 hours after surgery is a high-risk time period for hemodynamic instability.

Objective To analyze the relationship between blood glucose,blood lipid and body mass index (BMI) in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods Form January 2016 to December 2017,376 hypertensive patients over 65 year old in Jinan city were enrolled in this study.The sex,age,BMI,fasting blood glucose and blood lipid were investigated and tested.The prevalence of coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus in hypertensive patients were investigated,and the relationship between BMI and blood glucose,blood lipid and liver function index were explored.Results Of 376 hypertensive patients,the detection rate of diabetes mellitus was 21.01％ (79/376),221 cases were diagnosed with coronary heart disease,with the detection rate of 58.78％.With the rise of BMI,fasting blood glucose showed an upward trend.Person correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose(r =0.167,P =0.003).The difference between TG and TC in different BMI groups was statistically significant(FTG =12.48,P ＜ 0.001;Frc =4.83,P ＜ 0.001).The content of alanine transaminase in the overweight group and obese group was significantly higher than that in the normal body weight group,the difference was statistically significant(F =5.24,P =0.005).Conclusion For elderly hypertensive patients,it is urgent to test blood glucose and coronary heart disease screening.For people over the age of 65,obesity is still an important risk factor for hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia.Therefore,body weight control is needed in elderly patients with hypertensive.

Objective To understand the implementation effects of control measures and the dynamic prevalence of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis in Shandong Province.Methods From 2013 to 2017 in Shandong Province drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas,in accordance with the method of simple random sampling,10 monitored counties were selected,10 water fluorine decreasing projects were investigated of its running effect,and water fluoride was detected.In each monitored county,3 villages in the diseased areas were selected as fixed monitored villages.If the monitored village had changed its water,the operation of the project would be investigated.If the monitored village had not changed the water,one water sample would be collected according to 5 directions of east,west,south,north and middle to determine the water fluorine.All children aged from 8 to 12 in the village were also examined for dental fluorosis.X-ray fluorosis and urinary fluorosis in adults aged over 25 were detected in 2013 and 2017.Results From 2013 to 2017,in monitored counties,the normal operation rate of improved-water defluoridation projects was 99.19％ (368/371),the qualified rate of water fluoride content was 66.85％ (248/371).In 128 improved water projects,the normal operation rate was 100.00％ (128/128),the qualified rate of water fluoride content was 67.19％ (86/128).The average detection rate of dental fluorosis and community fluorosis index (CFI) in children aged 8-12 were 33.92％ (2 608/7 689) and 0.68 in all monitored counties from 2013 to 2017.The detection rate presented a declining trend year by year (x2 =152.47 P ＜ 0.01).The average detection rate and CFI in the villages with normal operation projects and qualified fluoride content were 26.10％ (1 311/5 023) and 0.47.The detection rate presented a declining trend year by year (x2 =207.67 P ＜ 0.01).The detection rate and CFI in the villages with water improvement projects under abnormal operation or excessive fluoride were 48.65％ (1 297/2 666) and 0.90.The detection rate of dental fluorosis in the villages with normal operation projects and qualified fluoride content was lower than the rate of the villages with water improvement projects under abnormal operation or excessive fluoride (x2 =193.98,P ＜ 0.01).In 2013 and 2017,X-ray detection rates of skeletal fluorosis in adults aged over 25 were 8.04％ (119/1 481) and 6.04％ (81/1 342),respectively.The adult urinary fluoride geometric mean values (1.24,1.49 mg/L) were lower than the normal limit of 1.6 mg/L both in qualified villages of water ffuoride content and exceeding-standard villages in 2017.Conclusions In Shandong Province,the effective water improvement has acquired some effects in control of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis.But the water fluoride content of improved water defluoridation projects exceeds the national standard seriously and fluorosis has not been effectively controlled.
