Small for gestational age (SGA) infants are more likely to experience neurocognitive impairments compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants. This paper reviews recent research on the neurocognitive development of SGA children. SGA can lead to a "brain-sparing effect" due to growth restriction, which may affect cerebral blood flow and brain structure. However, this does not guarantee normal brain development. Restrictive blood flow can result in changes in brain structure, such as reduced total white matter and gray matter volume in various brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum, ultimately leading to decreased head circumference. SGA children also exhibit lower scores in all neurocognitive domains, including intelligence, attention, memory, and executive function. This may result in poor academic performance and an increased risk of social, behavioral, and neurological problems, such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, visual and hearing impairments, as well as comorbidities like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), autism spectrum disorder(ASD), anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Several risk factors for SGA-related neurocognitive impairments have been identified, including gestational hypertension, abnormal gestational weight, smoking, and catch-up growth. Studies have shown that the best interventions to improve cognitive dysplasia include nutrient supplementation, continued breastfeeding, high-quality education, and appropriate early intervention (responsive parenting) are effective in improving cognitive outcomes for SGA children.

Objective:To analyze the levels of antibody to measles virus in cord blood of newborns in Ankang city, and provide reference for the development of measles prevention and control measures and strategies.Methods:From January to December, 2023, 1 058 pregnant women from 10 county-level general hospitals in Ankang city were recruited in this study. Neonatal umbilical cord blood samples were collected for detecting IgG antibody against measles with ELISA. SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze the positive rate of antibody to measles virus and the influencing factors.Results:The overall positive rate of IgG antibody to measles virus was 89.22% (944/1 058), and the geometric mean concentration (GMC) was 570.26 mlU/ml. The positive rates of IgG antibody against measles virus in umbilical cord blood of neonates born to women aged ≤20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, and ≥36 years old were 91.07% (51/56), 90.27% (232/257), 89.54% (351/392), 88.12% (230/261), and 86.96% (80/92), respectively (χ 2=1.355, P=0.852). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the positive rate of IgG antibody against measles virus in umbilical cord blood samples was higher in neonates with gestational age ≥37 weeks than in those with gestational age <37 weeks [OR (95%CI): 0.403 (0.262-0.622)]. Besides, the positive rate was also higher in newborns with a birth weight of 3.0-3.5 kg than in those with birth weight <3 kg or ≥3.5 kg [OR (95%CI): 0.868 (0.462-1.629), 1.765(1.087-2.865)]. Conclusions:The positive rate and the GMC of IgG antibody to measles virus in neonatal umbilical cord blood decrease with maternal age. It is recommended that women of childbearing age should receive supplementary immunization with measles-containing vaccine before pregnancy.

Objective To establish a cost-benefit evaluation (CBE) index system which is suitable for health enterprise construction, and provide an effective tool for conducting economic evaluation of health enterprise development. Methods The index pool of CBE index system for health enterprise construction was initially established by comprehensive use of field surveys, key informant interviews and literature review. The improved Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert correspondences with 21 experts, through which the evaluation indicator system was adjusted and refined based on the experts' opinions, ultimately the CBE indicator system suitable for health enterprise construction was determined. Results The effective questionnaire recovery rates of the two rounds of expert consultations were 100.0%. The expert authority coefficients was 0.88, and the Kendall's W coordination coefficients of the cost input indicator and benefit indicator in the second round of expert consultation were 0.14 and 0.15 (all P<0.001), with Cronbach's α coefficient of reliability evaluation of index system were all >0.80. The final CBE index system for health enterprise construction includes cost input indicators focusing on four dimensions: “improving management systems”, “building a healthy environment”, “enhancing health management and services”, and “cultivating a healthy culture”. It covered four primary indicators, ten secondary indicators, and 22 tertiary indicators. The benefit indicators mainly focused on the four primary indicators, including “health productivity”, “clinical output”, “economic output”, and “cultural output”, ten secondary indicators, and 23 tertiary indicators. Conclusion The CBE indicator system for health enterprise construction developed in this study is highly reliable, scientific, and practical. It can serve as a tool for the preliminary evaluation and general application of the cost-benefit evaluation of health enterprise construction and provide strong support for future research.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Xinfeng capsules on immunoinflammatory indicators in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) due to spleen deficiency and dampness exuberance. MethodA total of 102 patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method, with 51 cases in each group. All patients were treated with methotrexate tablets, while those in the observation group received additional Xinfeng capsules. The course of treatment in both groups was 12 weeks. The 28-joint disease activity score (DAS28), visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, morning stiffness time, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and serum amyloid A (SAA) of the two groups before and after treatment were compared. The efficacy and incidence of adverse events were compared between the two groups. The Apriori association rule model and random walk model were constructed to evaluate the effect of Xinfeng capsules in improving hs-CRP, ESR, RF, SAA, VEGF, and anti-CCP. ResultThere were no dropouts in this study. There was no statistical difference in the indicators between the two groups before treatment. After 12 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate in the observation group was 90.19% (46/51), which was higher than 74.51% (38/51) in the control group (χ2=4.320,P<0.05). DAS28, VAS score, and morning stiffness time in the observation group were improved compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). Apriori association rule model results showed that the application of Xinfeng capsules in the observation group had a strong correlation with the reduction of RF, ESR, hs-CRP, SAA, and VEGF. The results of the random walk model showed that the improvement coefficients of hs-CRP, ESR, RF, SAA, and VEGF in the observation group were all better than those of the control group, and the improvement coefficient of anti-CCP in the control group was better than that of the observation group. The improvement degree of hs-CRP, ESR, RF, SAA, and VEGF in the observation group was superior to that of the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than in the control group (χ2=4.057,P<0.05). ConclusionOn the basis of the treatment with methotrexate tablets, Xinfeng capsules can effectively improve the immunoinflammatory level in RA due to spleen deficiency and dampness exuberance and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective To analyze the level of occupational health literacy (OHL) and its influencing factors among key populations in China. Methods The front-line workers from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in China were selected as the research subjects using a combination of stratified cluster random sampling and probability proportional sampling. The Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations was used to investigate the OHL level. Results In 2022, a total of 340 506 people from 23 industries were surveyed. Among them, 168 455 and 172 051 people were surveyed in the secondary and tertiary industries, respectively. The OHL level of the research subjects was 52.6%. The OHL levels of workers in the secondary and tertiary industries were 56.5% and 48.9%, respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, marital status, educational level, household registration, monthly income, employment nature, years of service and industry category were independent influencing factors for OHL level of the research subjects (all P<0.01). Specifically, females had a higher OHL level than males (P<0.01); the older the age, the higher the education level, the higher the monthly income level, the higher the OHL level (all P<0.01); the level of OHL in unmarried people was higher than that in married people (P<0.01); the OHL level of workers with non-agricultural household registration was higher than that of workers with agricultural household registration (P<0.01); the OHL levels of workers in state-owned enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises and public institutions were higher than those in private enterprises (all P<0.01); the level of OHL in the group with 21.0-43.0 years of service was lower than that in the other years of service groups (all P<0.01); the OHL level of workers in the secondary industry was higher than that in the tertiary industry (P<0.01). Conclusion The workers in the key industries selected by the tertiary industry, the private enterprises in the secondary industry, those with more than 21.0 years of service, and the disadvantaged groups with younger age low income, low education level, and the agricultural household registration are the key groups for the improvement of OHL level in the future. Appropriate intervention methods and strategies should be actively explored to improve the OHL of these key populations.

Objective:To investigate the potential risk factors for cryptogenic stroke (CS) in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO).Methods:Patients underwent PFO closure in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from June 2018 to December 2021 were enrolled retrospectively. Transesophageal echocardiography was used to evaluate the morphological characteristics of foramen ovale and right-to-left shunt (RLS). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for CS in patients with PFO. Results:A total of 203 patients with PFO were enrolled. Their age was 41.9±14.3, and 116 patients (57.1%) were male. There were 102 patients in CS group and 101 patients in non-stroke group. The age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, and the constituent ratios of male, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and smoking of the CS group were significant higher than those of the non-stroke group (all P<0.05). The PFO channel of the CS group was longer, wider and more combined with resting RLS (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that systolic blood pressure (odds ratio [ OR] 1.065, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.022-1.111; P=0.003), PFO length ( OR 1.124, 95% CI 1.004-1.258; P=0.043) and resting RLS ( OR 5.449, 95% CI 2.283-13.004; P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for CS in patients with PFO. Conclusion:Systolic blood pressure, PFO length and the presence of resting RLS are the independent risk factors for CS in patients with PFO.

Cryptogenic stroke (CS) is a type of stroke that can not find the exact cause after using the standard clinical examination procedure of stroke. In recent years, many studies have shown that patent foramen ovale (PFO) is closely associated with CS, and its main pathogenesis is paradoxical embolism. In clinical practice, ultrasound is often used for PFO screening. In the context of PFO, the secondary prevention of CS includes drug therapy and PFO closure, but the choice of treatment is still controversial. Screening and evaluation of possible PFO will help to develop secondary prevention strategies for patients with CS, especially those who can benefit from PFO closure.
