Objective: To investigate the correlation of emotional and behavioral problems with sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy, so as to provide reference for intervention of emotional and behavioral problems in children. Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted, and 402 children aged 6-18 with cerebral palsy who were adopted by social welfare institutions in Guangzhou City from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected to investigate their full time nurses. The Parents Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess the emotional and behavioral problems of children with cerebral palsy, and the Children s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep problems. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the sleep problem of children with cerebral palsy and the emotional and behavioral problems. Results: The prevalence of emotional and behavioral difficulties among children with cerebral palsy was 15.7%. The median sleep problem score of children with emotional and behavioral problems [37.0(36.0, 41.0)] was significantly higher than that of children without emotional and behavioral [35.0(34.0, 36.0)] ( Z =-5.74, P <0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting covariables such as age, gender, cerebral palsy classification, language retardation, visual impairment and epilepsy, the total sleep problem score of children with cerebral palsy was positively correlated with the total difficulty score ( β= 0.28, 95%CI =0.17-0.34, P <0.05). Conclusions Sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy are associated with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Understanding of the management of sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy should be enhanced to reduce the incidence of emotional and behavioral problems in children with cerebral palsy.

Background Permethrin is a commonly used pyrethroid insecticide and has been found to be potentially neurotoxic. Microglia are innate immune cells in the central nervous system and are involved in the development of a range of neurodegenerative diseases. Objective To observe possible toxic effects of permethrin on human microglia clone 3 (HMC3) in vitro and explore associated mechanism. Methods HMC3 were treated with 0, 10, 25, and 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin for 72 h. Cell cycle and apoptosis were measured using flow cytometry. Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A), cyclin B2 (CCNB2), cellular tumor antigen p53 (p53), factor-related apoptosis (FAS), caspase 3 (CASP3), and H2A histone family member X (H2AX) were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The differential genes and enrichment pathways of HMC3 after 0 and 25 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin treatment was analyzed by RNA sequencing. HMC3 was treated by 0, 10, 25, and 55 μmol· L⁻¹ permethrin for 72 h. The content of nitric oxide (NO) in the supernatant was detected using Griess reagent. The secretion level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expression levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway (including MAPK1, MAPK8, and MAPK14), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) families (including MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, and MMP9) were detected by qPCR. The protein expressions of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38), phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), IL-1β, IL-6, and MMP1 were detected by Western blot. Results HMC3 was arrested in G2/M phase after 0, 10, 25, and 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin treatment for 72 h, of which there was a statistically significant difference between the 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin treatment group and the control group (P<0.01), and the mRNA expression of CDKN1A was up-regulated according to the qPCR (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the proportions of apoptosis between the groups (P＞0.05). The RNA sequencing showed that the differential genes were enriched in the MAPK pathway, and the mRNA expressions of MAPK1, MAPK8, and MAPK14 were up-regulated after the permethrin treatment at 55 μmol·L⁻¹ compared to the control group by qPCR (P<0.05). The Western blot revealed that, compared to the control group, the levels of p-p38 and p-ERK were increased after the 10 μmol·L⁻¹ permetrin treatment (P<0.05), the p-ERK level was increased after the 25 μmol·L⁻¹ permetrin treatment (P<0.05), and the p-p38 level was up-regulated after the 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permetrin treatment (P<0.05). The secretion of NO in the supernatant of HMC3 increased after permetrin treatment compared to the control group (P<0.05), the mRNA and protein expressions and the secretion of IL-6 showed an upward trend, the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-1β were up-regulated (P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP1 were up-regulated in the 25 and 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Permethrin inhibits HMC3 cell proliferation in vitro, induces cell cycle arrest, activates MAPK pathway, and promotes the expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β and MMP1, which may be one of the mechanism of neurotoxicity induced by permethrin.

Objective: To investigate the association between cysteine level and lumbar spine (LS) bone mineral density (BMD) among children with cerebral palsy, so as to provide a basis for bone health enhancement among children with cerebral palsy. Methods: A total of 149 children aged 10-18 with cerebral palsy who were admitted to the G city Social Welfare Institute (Luogang District) from January 2023 to January 2024. Basic demographic characteristics of children with cerebral palsy were extracted from medical records system. Cysteine levels were measured using the enzyme cycling method. LS BMD of the children was determined by specialized rehabilitation physicians using dual energy X ray absorptiometry, and the corrected BMD Z -scores for LS were calculated. Non restrictive cubic splines and segmented multiple linear regression were employed to analyze the correlation between cysteine levels and age specific height Z -scores (HAZ scores) for LS BMD in children with cerebral palsy. Results: The median cysteine concentration in children with cerebral palsy was 9.13(8.42, 10.30)μmol/L, with significantly higher levels in spastic type children [9.28(8.53，10.49)μmol/L] compared to non spastic types [8.64(7.89，9.66)μmol/L]( Z=-2.46，P <0.05). The median LS BMD HAZ score was -1.07( -2.10 , -0.16), and the detection rate of decreased bone mass was 29.5%. There was an "L" shaped association between serum homocysteine concentration and LS BMD HAZ score in children with cerebral palsy. When serum homocysteine concentration was below 8.7 μmol/L, a significant negative correlation was observed between LS BMD HAZ score and serum homocysteine concentration ( B=-0.32, 95%CI =-1.06 to -0.15, P <0.05). Conclusions The significant negative correlation between cysteine levels and LS BMD in children with cerebral palsy at lower cysteine concentrations, which suggests a potentially higher sensitivity to the influence of homocysteine than healthy children and adolescents, warranting attention even if not reaching the standard of hyperhomocysteinemia.

Objective To evaluate the ability of the ratio of peripheral blood white blood cell(WBC)counts to platelet counts to predict the onset of radiation-induced thymic lymphoma(TL)in a mouse model.Methods Mice were subjected to fractionated total-body irradiation(TBI)to established a TL model before the changes of the WBC-to-platelet ratio during the development and progression of TL were investigated.Four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomized into the normal(non-irradiation)group and radiation exposure group that was subjected to 1.8 Gy TBI once weekly for four consecutive weeks.The survival and TL-incidence of those two groups were compared within 370 days of TBI.Histomorphology and hematoxylin & eosin(H&E)staining of the thymus were used for definite diagnosis of TL while flow cytometry was adopted to detect the frequency changes of T cells in the thymus,bone marrow and spleen.Peripheral blood(PB)cell counts were measured to analyze the changes of peripheral hemogram during TL pathogenesis.Results No mice in the normal group were diagnosed with TL while 83％of the irradiated mic suffered from TL within 370 days of fractionated TBI(P＜0.0001).Using histopathologic technology,medium-sized tumor cells were observed in the thymus of irradiated mice diagnosed with TL.Cytometric analysis showed decreased frequencies of CD4 mono-positive cells and increased frequencies of CD8 mono-positive cells in the thymus,bone marrow and spleen of mice diagnosed with TL.PB analysis displayed a significant increase in the WBC-to-platelet ratio one week prior to the TL-caused death in the irradiated mice(P＜0.01).Conclusion Elevation of the peripheral blood WBC-to-platelet ratio can help predict the onset of IR-induced TL of mice.

Objective:To analyze the status quo and influencing factors of post-traumatic growth of parents of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) .Methods:The convenient sampling method was used to select parents of children with T1DM who were admitted to the diabetes care consultation clinic of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2022 to March 2023 as the research objects. The parents of children were investigated by general information questionnaire, Posttramnatic Growth Inventory, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Perceived Social Support Scale.Results:A total of 200 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 187 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 93.5% (187/200). The total score of Posttramnatic Growth Inventory for parents of T1DM children was (60.28±18.37). The positive coping score in Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire was (22.40±6.94) and the negative coping score was (8.94±4.58). The total score of Perceived Social Support Scale was (57.39±14.57). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that HbA1c, monthly family income, educational level, positive coping strategies and perceived social support were the influencing factors for the post-traumatic growth of parents of T1DM children, explaining 33.8% of the variation in post-traumatic growth of parents of T1DM children.Conclusions:The post-traumatic growth of parents of T1DM children is at a moderate level. Medical staff should pay more attention to parents of children with poor blood sugar control, low educational level and low monthly family income, guide them from the perspective of positive psychology, encourage parents to adopt positive and effective coping strategies and emphasize the importance of social support, so as to improve the level of post-traumatic growth of parents of children with T1DM.

Conclusions:B-ultrasound-guided lower transverse abdominal nerve block can further enhance the analgesic effect, effectively improve the oxidative stress reaction and immune function, as well as reduce the occurrence of surgical complications in patients with colorectal cancer after radical surgery.

Objective: To investigate the association of parental weight related knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) with abdominal obesity among primary and middle school students and to provide evidence for related intervention measures. Methods: In September 2013, the multistage random sampling method was used to select 17 307 primary and secondary school students with normal waist circumference in seven provinces/municipalities in China. After nine month follow up, 14 118 students aged 6-18 years were included in the final analysis. Questionnaires were used to assess parental weight related KAP, and students’ waist circumference was measured objectively at baseline and follow up. Multiple linear regression and multivariate Logistic regression were conducted to analyze the relationship between parents’ KAP with the change of students waist circumference and abdominal obesity, respectively. Results: The nine month cumulative incidence of pre and abdominal obesity among students was 6.67% and 0.85%, respectively. The scoring rates of parents knowledge, attitude and practice were 80.17%, 78.17%, 50.50%, respectively. The score of parents weight related attitude was inversely associated with the changes of waist circumference ( β=-0.18, 95%CI = -0.26- -0.10) and cumulative incidence of pre and abdominal obesity ( OR=0.90, 95%CI =0.82-0.98)( P <0.05). Conclusion Parental positive and correct weight related attitude is inversely associated with the incidence of abdominal obesity among children and adolescents. Interventions targeting establishing parents correct beliefs may be an effective way to prevent abdominal obesity in children and adolescents.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy on delayed union of forearm fractures in children with ultrasonic guidance.Methods:A retrospective analysis of information on 18 children with delayed forearm fracture union who received ultrasonic guided extracorporeal shockwave therapy from February 2018 to June 2019 was conducted. Among them, there were 14 males and 4 females; Age: 9.44±3.75 years (range, 3-15 years); All the children were closed forearm fractures, including 13 cases of ulna and 5 cases of radius. Initial fixation methods: intramedullary nails fixation in 8 cases, Kirschner wire fixation in 4 cases, steel plate fixation in 2 cases, external fixation in 2 cases, conservative treatment in 2 cases; The classification of fracture nonunion were: 14 cases of hypertrophy, 4 cases of atrophy; The course of disease was 4.0 (3.0, 6.0) months. The front and lateral X-ray films of the affected side forearm were taken before treatment, 3 months and 6 months after treatment. The scores of callus condition were performed using Lane-Sandhu X-ray scoring standard and Fernandez-Esteve X-ray evaluation standard of callus grade.Results:All children completed treatment and were followed up for 6 months. The bone healing standard was the disappearance of the fracture line shown by anterior and lateral X-ray films. Within 6 months after treatment, 11 patients got bone union. The healing rate was 61.11% (11/18). The average of Lane-Sandhu X-ray scores before treatment, 3 months and 6 months after treatment were 3.0 (1.0, 4.0), 6.0 (4.0, 8.0) and 10.0 (5.0, 12.0), respectively, there were statistically significant differences in pairwise comparisons at each time point. And the average scores of Fernandez-Esteve X-ray evaluation standard for callus grade were 1.0 (1.0, 2.0), 3.0 (2.0, 4.0), and 4.0 (3.0, 4.0), respectively, there were statistically significant differences from 3 months and 6 months after treatment to preoperative group, while there was no statistically significant difference between 3 months and 6 months after treatment. The mixed effects model analysis results showed that only the Lane Sandhu X-ray score and Fernandez Esteve X-ray standard score of callus grade at different follow-up time points were significantly different. There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, number of shockwave treatments and interval time from the first treatment after the initial fixation.Conclusion:The radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy can effectively treat the delayed healing of forearm fractures in children; the X-ray score has been significantly improved. The treatment is highly accepted by children and their parents, and can be used as one of the methods to treat delayed healing of fractures in children in the future.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect and application value of simultaneous modulated accelerated radiotherapy (SMART) in the suspicious positive lymph nodes of head and neck.Methods:From January 2017 to February 2019, 60 patients with suspected positive lymph nodes in the head and neck in the Hanzhong Central Hospital of Shaanxi Province were divided into experimental group and control group according to different treatment plans, and 30 patients in each group were included. In the experimental group, 63.36 to 66.66 Gy patients were treated with SMART, while in the control group, 54.12 to 60.06 Gy patients were treated with conventional neck prophylactic radiation. In order to evaluate the feasibility of the method, the change of the short diameter of the largest cross section of the suspicious positive lymph nodes in the two groups were observed, and the adverse reactions in the treatment of the two groups were analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the size of short diameter of lymph nodes in the two groups was smaller than that before treatment. The maximum short diameter of the largest cross section of lymph nodes in the experimental group was smaller than that before treatment: (0.43 ± 0.07) cm vs. (0.72 ± 0.10) cm, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the control group, the maximum short diameter of the largest cross section of lymph node decreased after treatment, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After treatment, the reduction of the short diameter in the experimental group was more obvious than that in the control group. The maximum short diameter of the largest cross section between the two groups: (0.43±0.07) cm vs. (0.66±0.08)cm was statistically significant ( t = 11.523, P<0.05). Before treatment, hemoglobin (HGB) levels of the two groups were in the normal physiological range, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05); the white blood cell (WBC) levels of the two groups at different time after treatment were compared: in the first week (7.83 ± 2.53) × 10 9/L vs. (8.26 ± 3.16) × 10 9/L, in the third week (7.14 ± 3.65) × 10 9/L vs. (7.08 ± 2.53) × 10 9/L, in the fifth week (5.47 ± 2.81) × 10 9/L vs. (6.41 ± 2.57) × 10 9/L, and in the seventh week (4.36 ± 2.59) × 10 9/L vs. (4.98 ± 1.64) × 10 9/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05), which indicated that the WBC index levels of the two groups were gradually decreased during the treatment, and the decreased degree of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. The levels of HGB and PLT were maintained in the normal physiological range before and after treatment, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The main complications in the treatment of the experimental group were xerostomia and stomatitis. The adverse reactions in the control group were pain in the target area of radiotherapy. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of IMRT is an effective method for the treatment of occult lymph node metastasis, and it is also a therapeutic diagnostic method, which can provide evidence for the study of the law of lymph node metastasis in the head and neck. The safety and tissue tolerance of IMRT in the treatment of suspicious positive lymph nodes in the head and neck are good, which can be used for the suspicious lymph nodes in the head and neck. The treatment of positive lymph nodes and the evaluation of patients′ prognosis provide an effective way of clinical treatment.
