		                        			Objective:To analyze the neurocognitive abnormalities and related emotional and behavioral problems in 410 adolescent patients with Turner syndrome (TS) managed in Henan Children′s Hospital in the past 5 years, and to explore the relationship between neurocognitive abnormalities and chromosome karyotype, pubertal development, hormone replacement therapy.Methods:A retrospective case series study.A total of 410 adolescent patients who were diagnosed with TS by karyotype or fluorescence in situ hybridization in the outpatient or inpatient Department of Endocrinology, Genetics and Metabolism at Henan Children′s Hospital from June 2018 to June 2023 were selected and divided into 2 groups according to age: < 12 years old and 12-18 years old.Neurocognitive assessments were performed based on the results of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale (4 th edition) for children and behavior scales for children, SPSS 22.0 software was used for data processing and statistical analysis, and chi-square test was used to analyze the correlation between chromosome karyotype, intelligence development level, pubertal development status, hormone therapy status and the occurrence of neuropsychiatric diseases. Results:Among the 410 TS patients, 207 cases had the karyotype of 45, X0/46, XX, accounting for 50.49%, 94 cases had the monosomic karyotype of 45, X0, accounting for 22.93%.Forty-six patients completed the Wechsler intelligence test, with the intelligence quotient (IQ) score ranging from 70 to 105, with high verbal comprehension and perceptual reasoning scores and low processing speed and working memory scores on all assessments.Fifty-two patients completed the hyperactivity scale assessment, and 43 cases had a predisposition to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).There were no significant differences in total IQ, perceptual reasoning and processing speed among the children with karyotype 45, X0, chimeric, and X chromosome structural abnormalities ( H=3.161, 1.955, 5.890, all P>0.05), while there were significant differences in verbal comprehension and working memory among the three groups ( H=7.697, 9.694, all P<0.05).Among TS patients 12-18 years old, 68 cases completed the depression scale self-assessment, of which 23 cases had depressive tendencies.There was no correlation between depressive tendency and chromosome karyotype, pubertal development and hormone replacement therapy ( P>0.05). Conclusions:TS patients generally have low intelligence levels and tend to have ADHD in childhood.TS patients in the pubertal development have a high incidence of depression.Pubertal development status and hormone replacement therapy show no correlation with the occurrence of neuropsychiatric diseases in TS patients.

		                        			Results:
		                        			Among 161 patients with suspected pulmonary infection,113 cases were finally confirmed as pulmonary infection.   Among the 161 patients enrolled,the sensitivity and negative predictive value of mNGS were improved compared  with routine culture and nucleic acid detection of respiratory pathogens,and the difference was statistically signifi- cant(P<0. 001) .Although the specificity of mNGS was higher than that of respiratory pathogen nucleic acid de- tection,the difference was not statistically significant.The positive predictive value of mNGS was the highest,and  was higher than that of respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection,but had no statistical significance compared with  conventional culture.
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion    
		                        			 The  sensitivity of mNGS in the diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms in pul- monary infection is  higher  than  that  of conventional  culture  and  nucleic  acid  detection  of  respiratory  pathogens, which reduces the false negative rate of diagnosis and has a better comprehensive evaluation ; conventional culture  detection has low sensitivity,but high specificity ; respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection compared with con- ventional culture,the sensitivity is improved,but the specificity decreased.

		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the demographic characteristics, high-risk behavior and first CD4+T cell(CD4 cell) counts among newly reported HIV-infected Burmese in Dehong Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (Dehong Prefecture) from 2019 to 2020. MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among newly reported HIV-infected Burmese cases in Dehong Prefecture from 2019 to 2020 to collect related information and measure their first CD4 cell counts. ResultsAmong 1 228 HIV-infected Burmese cases, 846 (68.9%) were males and 382 (31.1%) were females; 445 (36.2%) were from Kachin, and 210(17.1%) were from Shan. Of them, 960 cases (78.2%) had participated in the first CD4 cell counts testing, and 405 cases (42.2%) had a first CD4 cell counts <350 cells·μL-1. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, age ≥30 years (adjusted OR=1.44, 95%CI: 1.07‒1.92) and history of illicit drug use in Myanmar (adjusted OR=0.41, 95%CI: 0.21‒0.79) were independently associated with first CD4 cell counts <350 cells·μL-1. ConclusionThe first CD4 cell counts are generally low among newly reported HIV-infected Burmese in Dehong Prefecture, especially those aged ≥ 30 years and with a history of intravenous drug use in Myanmar. Therefore, early detection of HIV infection should be strengthened for timely intervention and treatment management among Burmese.

		                        			 Objective To analyze stress distributions on mandible bone and periodontal ligaments during acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement by mechanical vibration, and investigate the mechanism of static-vibration coupled loading to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. MethodsThe finite element model including tooth, periodontal ligament, cancellous bone and cortical bone was established by Mimics,SolidWorks,Geomagic and ANSYS Workbench software. Conventional static orthodontic force and low-magnitude high-frequency mechanical vibration loads were applied to the finite element model for dynamic analysis. ResultsThe compression and tension zones of alveolar bone and periodontal tissues were identified based on Y-normal stress distribution of alveolar bone and periodontal tissues, which was periodic with the same frequency as the applied low-magnitude high-frequency vibration. The von Mises stress of alveolar bone and periodontal tissues also showed periodic changes, but the compression and tension zones of alveolar bone and periodontal tissues could not be identified based on von Mises stress distribution of alveolar bone and periodontal tissues. Conclusions In the field of orthodontics, Y-normal stress is a reasonable mechanical stimulus, and static-vibration coupled loading is an effective method  for accelerating orthodontic treatment. The research findings can provide guidance for low-magnitude high-frequency mechanical vibration to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement.

		                        			Objective:To explore the effect of coronary injection of recombinant human prourokinase (rhPro-UK) during PCI for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.Methods:A total of 124 STEMI patients treated in Tangshan Gongren Hospital, Hebei Province from November 2018 to November 2019 were selected as the research objects.They were simply randomized by random number table method into the observation group(63 cases) and the control group(61 cases). Thrombus aspiration was used.The control group was treated with 25 μg/kg tirofiban, and the observation group was injected with 20 mg rhPro-UK into the coronary arteries.After that, both groups underwent emergency PCI treatment.The bleeding degree, myocardial microcirculation indexes, plasma fibrinolytic factor changes, vascular recanalization, ST segment fall of electrocardiogram and changes in left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), cardiac index (CI) were recorded.Results:The peak value of creatine kinase isoenzymes MB (CK-MB) (184.64±21.47) U/L and the peak time of CK-MB (14.32±2.02) h in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group((258.94±31.64) U/L, (16.58±2.09) h), the differences were statistically significant ( t=15.345 and 6.123, all P<0.001). After treatment, human tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) (0.85±0.28) kU/L in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (0.74±0.24) kU/L, human plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) (0.16±0.05) kU/L.compared with the control group (0.32±0.08) kU/L significantly decreased ( t=2.345, P=0.021; t=13.401, P<0.001); 77.78% (49/63) of the ST-segment complete fall in observation group was significantly higher than 54.10% (33/61) of the control group ( Z=7.758; P=0.005), and 4.76% (3/63) in the observation group without a fall in ST segment was significantly lower than 19.67% (12/61) of the control group ( Z=6.480; P=0.011). The LVEDD at 7 days, 14 days and the LVESD at 7 days and 14 days in the observation group were (49.37±3.14) mm, (48.34±3.03) mm, (33.19±2.23) mm and (32.05±2.23) mm respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group at 7 days, (50.64±3.03) mm, (49.66±2.83) mm, (34.86±1.73) mm and 14 days, (33.74±1.97) mm respectively ( P<0.05 or P<0.001). The LVEF of 7 days and 14 days after treatment were (56.32±4.97)% and (59.23±5.11)%, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (54.46±4.87)% and (57.18±4.33)% ( P<0.05 or P<0.001). CI at 7 days and 14 days after treatment were (3.65±0.22) L/ (min·m 2) and (3.76±0.21) L/(min·m 2), which were significantly higher than those of the control group (3.48±0.25) L/(min·m 2) and (3.56±0.24) L/(min·m 2)( P<0.05 or P<0.001). Conclusion:STEMI patients treated by intraoperative coronary injection of Rhpro-UK versus tirofeban, can further improve the total bleeding rate and the vascular recanalculation rate, and also significantly improve plasma fibrinolysis factor, myocardial microcirculation and cardiac function.This provides an alternative to the treatment of myocardial infarction in patients with STEMI.

		                        			 Objective To establish the implant-mandible model with different design parameters, observe stress distributions on the implant and surrounding bone, and analyze the influence of different design parameters on dental implant of the mandible. Methods Eight implant models were designed based on structural characteristic parameters (implant diameter, thread depth, height of abutment through gingiva, thread shape), and assembly of the mandibular model was performed respectively. The models were applied with static 150 N vertical and oblique 45° loads, so as to analyze peak von Mises stress of the implant and bone tissues and explore the structural parameter variables of implant most sensitive to peak von Mises stress. Results The peak stress of the mandible was larger under inclined load than that under vertical load. Implant diameter was the key factor affecting the peak von Mises stress of cortical bone, while thread depth was the key factor affecting the peak von Mises stress of cancellous bone. The peak von Mises stress was also affected by the height of abutment through gingiva, but the effect was not as significant as thread depth and implant diameter. Thread shape had little effect on the peak von Mises stress of the mandible. Conclusions Different implant design parameters can affect the peak stress of different tissues of the mandible, so it is necessary to carefully consider the selection of implant parameters for personalized implants. This study can provide theoretical guidance for structural parameter design of oral implants and provide references for accurate prediction of oral implants.

		                        			Objective To observe the effects of dual-task motor training on motor and balance function for stroke patients. Methods From January, 2016 to June, 2017, 30 patients with stroke were assigned randomly into control group (n = 15) and treatment group (n = 15). Both groups accepted routine physical therapy, the control group accepted anti-gravity treadmill training, while the treatment group accepted dual-task training with anti-gravity treadmill, for four weeks. They were measured with balance training and evaluation system, and assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-lower extremity (FMA-L), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and modified Barthel Index (MBI), before and after treatment. Results The range of swaying on X axial (Rx) and Y axial (Ry), as well as rectangle area (RecArea) decreased after treatment in the treatment group (t > 4.719, P < 0.001), while RecArea decreased in the control group (t = 5.069, P < 0.001). Ry and RecArea were less in the treatment group than in the control group (t > 2.288, P < 0.05). The scores of FMA-L, BBS and MBI improved after treatment in both groups (t > 7.316, P < 0.001), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t > 2.322, P < 0.05). Conclusion The dual-task training via anti-gravity treadmill may improve motor and balance function in stroke patients, and promote the activities of daily living.
