Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have the disease phenomenon of fear of exercise because of dyspnea, which can accelerate the body degradation rate, weaken muscle strength, reverse increase dyspnea, and delay the recovery of the disease. As a result, this article examines the theoretical underpinnings and specific measures of dyspnea belief intervention programs for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients at home and abroad, summarizes the limitations of previous studies, and makes pertinent recommendations in an effort to serve as a guide for early patient prevention and the development of scientific and feasible intervention programs.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and genetic characteristics of patients with late-onset Pompe disease(LOPD).Methods A total of 13 patients diagnosed with LOPD in the First Affilia-ted Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from September 2020 to December 2023 were selected,and all patients were subjected to clinical investigation,GAA activity detection and GAA gene testing.Results Among the 13 patients,7 were males and 6 were females;5 were family patients and 8 were sporadic patients;and the median age of onset was 17 years(8-52 years),the median age of presentation was 24 years(10-52 years),and the median age of diagnosis was 31 years(14-58 years).In terms of the first symptoms,10 pa-tients presented with limb weakness and 3 patients presented with dyspnea.The average serum creatine kinase level was 552 U/L(55-1084 U/L),and the serum creatine kinase level was normal in one patient.All pa-tients had scoliosis and different degrees of restrictive ventilatory dysfunction.Neuroelectrophysiological exami-nations of 9 patients showed myogenic damage,and 8 of them had muscle tonic discharge.The mean value of GAA activity was 0.3 μmol/(L·h)[0.17-0.5 μmol/(L·h)].A total of 13 mutations were detected in GAA gene,and the most common mutation was c.2238G＞C(p.W746C).There were five new variant sites:c.543del(p.F181Lfs*40),c.839_840insCC(p.R281Pfs*34),c.1800_1823del(p.S601_R608del),c.2296T＞C(p.Y766H)and c.995C＞A(p.S332*).Conclusions LOPD is a rare disease that tends to delay diagnosis.Proximal limb weakness,decreased respiratory function,mild-to-moderate elevation of creatine kinase,scoliosis,and clinical inferior tonic discharge on electromyography are high-risk images of LOPD.c.2238G＞C(p.W746C)is a hotspot mutation,and the discovery of five new mutations enriches the GAA gene mutations lineage.

Perimenopausal syndrome （MPS）， a common endocrine system disease， is one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in endocrinology， gynecology， and interdisciplinary fields of both Western and Chinese medicine to discuss the advantages and challenges of diagnosing and treating MPS with Western medicine， TCM， and integrative medicine. Experts at the conference believe that MPS is initiated by estrogen decline and rooted in deficiency， with the pathogenesis being imbalance between Yin and Yang in the kidney. The hormone replacement therapy in Western medicine for menopause can rapidly alleviate related symptoms by quickly restoring the estrogen level and timely detect and delay complications of menopause， whereas such a therapy has certain risks， necessitating close monitoring of adverse reactions. Moreover， the various contraindications and precautions limit the clinical application of the hormone replacement therapy. TCM has advantages in synergistically alleviating symptoms such as hot flashes， sweating， sleep disorders， and emotional abnormalities of MPS without causing obvious adverse reactions. However， its efficacy is slower than the hormone replacement therapy， and the TCM evidence for preventing and treating complications of menopause remains unclear. Three suggestions were proposed for the future development of both Western and TCM for ameliorating MPS. First， an integrated diagnosis and treatment system for MPS with both Western and Chinese medicine should be established. Second， high-quality evidence-based interventions for MPS should be developed with TCM alone or in combination with Western medicine. Third， efforts should be made to promote the new TCM drug development and the interdisciplinary cooperation for treating MPS.

Objective To explore the risk factors affecting the occurrence of refeeding syndrome in patients with acute pancreatitis,to establish a risk prediction model and verify it,and provide enlightenment for clinical nursing management.Methods A total of 260 patients with acute pancreatitis in our hospital from January 2021 to March 2023 were selected and divided into a refeeding syndrome group and a non-refeeding syndrome group according to whether refeeding syndrome occurred.Logistic regression analysis was performed on the related factors,and the risk model of array diagram was constructed and verified.Results Of the 260 patients with acute pancreatitis,56 developed refeeding syndrome,with an incidence of 21.54%.The results of factor analysis showed that high grade of gastrointestinal function,additional protein supplementation during feeding,NRS score and rapid infusion of nutrient solution were independent risk factors for refeeding syndrome in patients with acute pancreatitis(OR>1,P<0.05).High serum prealbumin concentration before feeding and high serum albumin concentration before feeding were independent protective factors(OR<1,P<0.05).The results of Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed that χ2=8.019,P=0.432;the area under the ROC curve was 0.915(P<0.001,95%CI:0.865～0.965);the sensitivity was 83.30%;the specificity was 87.90%;the maximum Youden index was 0.712.The model regression equation Logit(P)=1.899×additional protein supplementation in feeding+1.549×gastrointestinal function classification+0.683×NRS score+0.031×nutrient solution infusion rate-0.018×prefeeding serum albumin-0.038×prefeeding serum albumin-9.836.Conclusion The risk prediction model of refeeding syndrome in patients with acute pancreatitis established in this study has good accuracy and discrimination,which can predict the risk of refeeding syndrome in patients with acute pancreatitis for clinical nursing staff and formulate individualized prevention strategies as soon as possible.

Objective:To study the distribution and antibiotics resistance of the main pathogens of neonatal purulent meningitis in different regions of China.Methods:A retrospective descriptive clinical epidemiological study was conducted in children with neonatal purulent meningitis which admitted to 18 tertiary hospitals in different regions of China between January 2015 to December 2019. The test results of blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and drug sensitivity test results of the main pathogens were collected. The distributions of pathogenic bacteria in children with neonatal purulent meningitis in preterm and term infants, early and late onset infants, in Zhejiang Province and other regions outside Zhejiang Province, and in Wenzhou region and other regions of Zhejiang Province were analyzed. The chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 210 neonatal purulent meningitis cases were collected. The common pathogens were Escherichia coli ( E. coli)(41.4%(87/210)) and Streptococcus agalactiae ( S. agalactiae)(27.1%(57/210)). The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in preterm infants (77.6%(45/58)) with neonatal purulent meningitis was higher than that in term infants (47.4%(72/152)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=15.54, P=0.001). There were no significant differences in the constituent ratios of E. coli (36.5%(31/85) vs 44.8%(56/125)) and S. agalactiae (24.7%(21/85) vs 28.8%(36/125)) between early onset and late onset cases (both P>0.05). The most common pathogen was E. coli in different regions, with 46.7%(64/137) in Zhejiang Province and 31.5%(23/73) in other regions outside Zhejiang Province. In Zhejiang Province, S. agalactiae was detected in 49 out of 137 cases (35.8%), which was significantly higher than other regions outside Zhejiang Province (11.0%(8/73)). The proportions of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus in other regions outside Zhejiang Province (17.8%(13/73) and 16.4%(12/73)) were both higher than those in Zhejiang Province (2.9%(4/137) and 5.1%(7/137)). The differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=14.82, 12.26 and 7.43, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of Gram-positive bacteria in Wenzhou City (60.8%(31/51)) was higher than that in other regions in Zhejiang Province (38.4%(33/86)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.46, P=0.011). E. coli was sensitive to meropenem (0/45), and 74.4%(32/43) of them were resistant to ampicillin. E. coli had different degrees of resistance to other common cephalosporins, among which, cefotaxime had the highest resistance rate of 41.8%(23/55), followed by ceftriaxone (32.4%(23/71)). S. agalactiae was sensitive to penicillin, vancomycin and linezolid. Conclusions:The composition ratios of pathogenic bacteria of neonatal purulent meningitis are different in different regions of China. The most common pathogen is E. coli, which is sensitive to meropenem, while it has different degrees of resistance to other common cephalosporins, especially to cefotaxime.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of selenoprotein M (SelM) in endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in nickel-exposed mouse hearts and to explore the detoxifying effects of melatonin. At 21 d after intraperitoneal injection of nickel chloride (NiCl₂) and/or melatonin into male wild-type (WT) and SelM knockout (KO) C57BL/6J mice, NiCl₂ was found to induce changes in the microstructure and ultrastructure of the hearts of both WT and SelM KO mice, which were caused by oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis, as evidenced by decreases in malondialdehyde (MDA) content and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) activity. Changes in the messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression of genes related to endoplasmic reticulum stress (activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), inositol-requiring protein 1 (IRE1), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP)) and apoptosis (B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), Caspase-3, Caspase-9, and Caspase-12) were also observed. Notably, the observed damage was worse in SelM KO mice. Furthermore, melatonin alleviated the heart injury caused by NiCl₂ in WT mice but could not exert a good protective effect in the heart of SelM KO mice. Overall, the findings suggested that the antioxidant capacity of SelM, as well as its modulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis, plays important roles in nickel-induced heart injury.
