Objective: To explore the isotemporal substitution effects among different intensities of physical activity within a 10 minute recess period on the mental health of junior high school students, aiming to provide evidence based references for targeted practical interventions. Methods: From May to November 2024, a total of 845 junior high school students from Tianjin,Taiyuan and L Liang in Shaanxi Province,Puyang in Henan Province,Xi an in Shaanxi Province,Quzhou in Zhejiang Province,and Chaoyang in Liaoning Province were selected by using a combination of stratified random sampling and convenience sampling. ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers was used to measure physical activity during a 10 minute recess period. Mental health status was assessed with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). An isotemporal substitution model was constructed in 1 minute increments to predict the effects of substituting different physical activity behaviors on students mental health. Results: During recess, sedentary behavior (SB) was predominant among junior high school students, with an average duration of [7.08(5.85,7.98)] minutes, while moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) accounted for the shortest duration at [0.42(0.21,0.85)] minutes. There were statistically significant differences in MVPA,LPA and SB time between students of different genders and grades( Z/H =-9.08,-8.34,-9.51;84.87,126.82,135.27,all P <0.01). Isotemporal substitution analysis, adjusted for gender and age, showed that replacing 1 minute of SB with 1 minute of MVPA significantly improved anxiety levels ( β =-0.29, 95% CI =-0.53 to -0.04) and overall mental health ( β =-0.72, 95% CI =-1.39 to -0.04), with both results reaching statistical significance (both P <0.05). No significant effects were observed for other substitution patterns (both P >0.05). Conclusions Substituting SB with MVPA during a 10 minute recess period exerts a positive impact on the mental health of junior high school students. It is recommended to optimize the daily recess activity structure in schools to enhance students mental well being.

Objective To improve the water solubility of natural drugs and the efficiency of their transport into the brain,to prepare nanogel dropping pills modified with lactoferrin for loading poorly soluble drugs and investigate the preparation process,and to provide a reference for drug development in the field of neurodegenerative diseases.Methods Using the insoluble drug icariin as the payload,the lactoferrin-modified zinc alginate nanogels were prepared by the reverse-phase microemulsion method.The drug loading and encapsulation rates of icariin in the nanogel were determined by HPLC.Taking the utilizing parameters such as roundness,weight difference and disintegration time as evaluation indicators,the best preparation process of dropping pills was optimized by single factor experiments and Box-Behnken response surface methodology.It was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,the release behavior of nanogel in dropping pills was explored by basket rotating method,and the brain entry efficiency between sublingual and oral administration of drip pills were compared by fluorescence tracing method.Results The drug loading rate of the nanogel was(2.67±0.05)%,and the encapsulation rate was(84.74±0.03)%by HPLC.The optimal preparation process for lactoferrin modified nanogel dropping pills was as follows:the ratio of matrix to nano gel was 5:1,the drop distance was 5.5 cm,and the condensation temperature was 8.5℃.Using the modified lactoferrin as a marker,its cumulative release rate in vitro reached 92.25%.Fluorescence tracing studies showed that compared to the oral group,sublingual administration of dripping pills facilitated the faster and more effective passage of drugs through the blood-brain barrier,significantly enhanced the efficiency of drug transport into the brain.Conclusion The prepared lactoferrin-modified nanogels can be used as a loading platform for poorly soluble drugs and enhance the drug solubility.When further formulated into dripping pills,it significantly enhances the efficiency of drug transport into the brain after sublingual administration.This also enhances medication compliance among neurodegenerative patients and fulfills the clinical demand for the drug.

Objective:To explore the genotype-phenotype relationship of Wilson's disease (WD) and further study the mutation spectrum in the ATP7B gene.Methods:The clinical data and genetic test results of 115 cases with WD diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 2015 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The rank sum test was used for quantitative data comparison, and χ2 test was used for count data comparison. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between patients' genotype and phenotype. Results:The onset of liver manifestations (hepatic type) accounted for 60.9%, neurological symptoms (cerebral type) for 13.0%, and mixed hepato-cerebral symptoms for 26.1%. Presymptomatic individuals (hepatic types) accounted for 62.9%. Next-generation sequencing- diagnosed WD cases accounted for 87.8%. Combined multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assay-diagnosed WD cases accounted for 89.6%. A single case with a detected pathogenic locus accounted for 10.4%. The diagnostic rate of WD by genetic testing combined with clinical data was 100%. A total of 76 ATP7B mutations were detected, and the top three mutation frequencies were c.2333G>T (p.Arg778Leu) (30.7%), c.2975C>T (p.Pro992Leu) (7.3%), and c.2621C>T (p.Ala874Val) (6.4%). The mutations were mainly distributed in exons 8, 11-13, and 15-18, accounting for more than 90% of the total mutations. Eight new mutations were found, including c.3724G>A (p.Glu1242Lys), c.3703G>C (p.Gly1235Arg), c.3593T>C (p.Val1198Ala), c.2494A>C (p.Lys832Gln), c.1517T>A (p.Ile506Lys), c.484G>T (p.Glu162Ter), c.1870-49A>G, and the missing of exons 10-21. Liver histopathology showed cellular edema, degeneration, inflammation, and necrosis, as well as a 42.8% copper staining positive rate. Genotype-phenotype analysis showed that the p.Arg778Leu mutation had higher alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels than those carrying other mutations ( P=0.024), while the homozygous mutation of p.Arg778Leu was associated with cerebral-type patients ( P=0.027). Conclusion:Genetic testing plays an important role in the diagnosis of WD. p.Arg778Leu is the first high-frequency mutation in the Chinese population, and patients carrying it have higher ALT levels. The p.Arg778Leu homozygous mutation is prone to causing cerebral-type WD. This study expands the ATP7B gene mutation spectrum.

Objective:To investigate respiratory virus infection in children with septic shock in pediatric care units (PICU) in China and its influence on clinical outcomes.Methods:The clinical data of children with septic shock in children′s PICU from January 2018 to December 2019 in 10 Chinese hospitals were retrospectively collected. They were divided into the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 groups according to the onset of disease, and the characteristics and composition of respiratory virus in the 2 groups were compared. Matching age, malignant underlying diseases, bacteria, fungi and other viruses, a new database was generated using 1∶1 propensity score matching method. The children were divided into the respiratory virus group and non-respiratory virus group according to the presence or absence of respiratory virus infection; their clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment were compared by t-test, rank sum test and Chi-square test. The correlation between respiratory virus infection and the clinical outcomes was analyzed by logistic regression. Results:A total of 1 247 children with septic shock were included in the study, of them 748 were male; the age was 37 (11, 105) months. In the pre-and post-COVID-19 groups, there were 530 and 717 cases of septic shock, respectively; the positive rate of respiratory virus was 14.9% (79 cases) and 9.8% (70 cases); the seasonal distribution of septic shock was 28.9% (153/530) and 25.9% (185/717) in autumn, and 30.3% (161/530) and 28.3% (203/717) in winter, respectively, and the corresponding positive rates of respiratory viruses were 19.6% (30/153) and 15.7% (29/185) in autumn, and 21.1% (34/161) and 15.3% (31/203) in winter, respectively. The positive rates of influenza virus and adenovirus in the post-COVID-19 group were lower than those in the pre-COVID-19 group (2.1% (15/717) vs. 7.5% (40/530), and 0.7% (5/717) vs. 3.2% (17/530), χ2=21.51 and 11.08, respectively; all P<0.05). Rhinovirus virus were higher than those in the pre-Covid-19 group (1.7% (12/717) vs. 0.2% (1/530), χ2=6.51, P=0.011). After propensity score matching, there were 147 cases in both the respiratory virus group and the non-respiratory virus group. Rate of respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress, rate of disseminated coagulation dysfunction, and immunoglobulin usage of the respiratory virus group were higher than those of non-respiratory virus group (77.6% (114/147) vs. 59.2% (87/147), 17.7% (26/147) vs. 4.1% (6/147), 15.6% (25/147) vs. 4.1% (7/147), and 35.4% (52/147) vs. 21.4% (32/147); χ2=11.07, 14.02, 11.06 and 6.67, all P<0.05); and PICU hospitalization of the former was longer than that of the later (7 (3, 16) vs. 3 (1, 7)d, Z=5.01, P<0.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of respiratory viral infection was associated with respiratory failure, disseminated coagulation dysfunction, the use of mechanical ventilation, and the use of immunoglobulin and anti-respiratory viral drugs ( OR=2.42, 0.22, 0.25, 0.56 and 1.12, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The composition of respiratory virus infection in children with septic shock is different between pre and post-COVID-19. Respiratory viral infection is associated with organ dysfunction in children with septic shock. Decreasing respiratory viral infection through respiratory protection may improve the clinical outcome of these children.

Objective:To explore the factors affecting the prognosis of severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support.Methods:It was a multicenter prospective observational study. A total of 95 children with severe ARDS who were treated with ECMO salvage therapy from January 2018 to December 2022 in 9 pediatric ECMO centers in China were enrolled in the study. The general data, disease severity, organ function, comprehensive treatment and prognosis were recorded, and they were divided into survival group and death group according to the outcome at discharge. T test, chi-square test, multivariate Logistic regression and mixed linear model were used to analyze the relationship among baseline before ECMO treatment, some important indicators (pediatric critical scores, platelet count, albumin, fibrinogen, etc) during ECMO treatment and prognosis. Results:Among the 95 children with severe ARDS who received ECMO, 55 (58%) were males and 40 (42%) were females, aged 36.9 (0.5, 72.0) months. Twelve children (13%) were immunodeficient. Sixty-eight (72%) children were treated with venous artery (VA) mode and 27 (28%) with venous vein (VV) mode. The discharge survival rates of overall, VA, and VV mode children were 51% (48/95), 47% (32/68), and 59% (16/27), respectively. The number of immunodeficient children in the death group was higher, and there were lower pediatric critical scores, platelet count, albumin, fibrinogen and arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO 2/FiO 2), higher ventilator driving pressure (ΔP), oxygenaion index (OI), and longer ARDS duration before ECMO (all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in other indicators, including age, gender, weight, and ECMO mode among different prognostic groups (all P>0.05). High ΔP, high OI, low P/F, and low albumin were high-risk factors affecting prognosis(all P<0.05). After further grouping, it was found that ΔP≥25 cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa), P/F≤67 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and OI≥35 were the thresholds for predicting poor prognosis ( P<0.05). From 24 h after ECMO, there were significant differences in ΔP, P/F and OI between the dead group and the survival group (all P<0.05), and the differences gradually increased with the ECMO process. The platelet level was significant from 7 days after ECMO ( P<0.05) and gradually expanded. Blood lactate levels showed a significant difference between the 2 groups on before and after ECMO ( P<0.05) and gradually increased from 24 h after ECMO. Conclusions:The risk factors affecting the prognosis of severe ARDS in ECMO include high ΔP, high OI, low P/F and low albumin purification therapy before ECMO. The gradual decrease of ΔP, OI and increase of P/F from 24 h of ECMO predicted a good prognosis, while the gradual increase of lactate after ECMO application showed a poor prognosis.

Objectives:To investigate clinical characteristics, outcomes and antimicrobial resistance of community-acquired Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CAPA) infections in Chinese pediatric patients. Methods:This retrospective study was conducted at 6 tertiary hospitals in China during January 2016 to December 2018. The clinical and microbiological data of CAPA infected hospitalized children in Hainan and in other regions were collected and compared, and the antimicrobial resistance patterns, clinical characteristics and antibiotic therapy were analyzed. Between different groups were compared using the Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results:Among 91 patients, 63 cases were males, 28 cases were females, and 74 cases were from Hainan province, 17 cases were from other regians. The age of consultation was 22.5 (5.4, 44.0) months. Twenty-four cases (26%) had underlying diseases. Fever (79 cases (87%)) and cough (64 cases (70%)) were common initial symptoms. Other concomitant symptoms included wheezing 8 cases (9%), diarrhea 3 cases (3%) and vomiting 4 cases (4%). Twenty-eight cases (31%) had organ infections, including pneumonia 22 cases (24%), skin infection 5 cases (5%), meningitis, intra-abdominal infection and upper urinary tract infection each 1 case (1%). The resistance rate of CAPA isolates to cefepime (4% (4/90)), amikacin (1% (1/90)), ciprofloxacin (2% (2/90)) and levofloxacin (1% (1/89)) was low, and to ceftazidime, piperacillin, piperacillin-azobactam, carbapenem was 12% (11/90), 3/16, 18% (10/56) and 6% (5/90), respectively. Antimicrobial combination therapy accounted for 52% (47/91) of empirical therapy and 59% (52/88) of definite therapy. Two cases (2%) were hopeless discharged, and 3 cases (3%) died during hospitalization. The worse prognosis of CAPA infection is significantly different among children in other regions and in Hainan (4/17 vs. 1% (1/74), χ2=9.74, P<0.05). Conclusions:The invasive CAPA-infection has regional difference in incidence and prognosis in China. Clinical symptoms and signs are non-specific. CAPA strains isolated from pediatric patients display low level of resistance to most of the common antipseudomonal antibiotics. The proportion of poor prognostic outcome is lower in Hainan than in other regions.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, pathogen composition, and prognosis of septic shock in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) in China.Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of children with septic shock from 10 hospitals in China between January 2018 and December 2021. The clinical features, pathogen composition, and outcomes were collected. Patients were categorized into malignant tumor and non-malignant tumor groups, as well as survival and mortality groups. T test, Mann Whitney U test or Chi square test were used respectively for comparing clinical characteristics and prognosis between 2 groups. Multiple Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for mortality. Results:A total of 1 247 children with septic shock were included, with 748 males (59.9%) and the age of 3.1 (0.9, 8.8) years. The in-patient mortality rate was 23.2% (289 cases). The overall pathogen positive rate was 68.2% (851 cases), with 1 229 pathogens identified. Bacterial accounted for 61.4% (754 strains) and virus for 24.8% (305 strains). Among all bacterium, Gram negative bacteria constituted 64.2% (484 strains), with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter being the most common; Gram positive bacteria comprised 35.8% (270 strains), primarily Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species. Influenza virus (86 strains (28.2%)), Epstein-Barr virus (53 strains (17.4%)), and respiratory syncytial virus (46 strains (17.1%)) were the top three viruses. Children with malignant tumors were older and had higher pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM) Ⅲ score, paediatric sequential organ failure assessment (pSOFA) score (7.9 (4.3, 11.8) vs. 2.3 (0.8, 7.5) years old, 22 (16, 26) vs. 16 (10, 24) points, 10 (5, 14) vs. 8 (4, 12) points, Z=11.32, 0.87, 4.00, all P<0.05), and higher pathogen positive rate, and in-hospital mortality (77.7% (240/309) vs. 65.1% (611/938), 29.7% (92/309) vs. 21.0% (197/938), χ2=16.84, 10.04, both P<0.05) compared to the non-tumor group. In the death group, the score of PRISM Ⅲ, pSOFA (16 (22, 29) vs. 14 (10, 20) points, 8 (12, 15) vs. 6 (3, 9) points, Z=4.92, 11.88, both P<0.05) were all higher, and presence of neoplastic disease, positive rate of pathogen and proportion of invasive mechanical ventilation in death group were also all higher than those in survival group (29.7% (87/289) vs. 23.2% (222/958), 77.8% (225/289) vs. 65.4% (626/958), 73.7% (213/289) vs. 50.6% (485/958), χ2=5.72, 16.03, 49.98, all P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression showed that PRISM Ⅲ, pSOFA, and malignant tumor were the independent risk factors for mortality ( OR=1.04, 1.09, 0.67, 95% CI 1.01-1.05, 1.04-1.12, 0.47-0.94, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Bacterial infection are predominant in pediatric septic shock, but viral infection are also significant. Children with malignancies are more severe and resource consumptive. The overall mortality rate for pediatric septic shock remains high, and mortality are associated with malignant tumor, PRISM Ⅲ and pSOFA scores.

Purpose To investigate the value of enhanced CT gray-level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM)for predicting central lymph node metastasis(CLNM)in cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma.Materials and Methods Between January 2020 to December 2021,55 cases confirmed cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma in Xuzhou Central Hospital by clinical and surgical pathology were analyzed retrospectively.According to the postoperative pathological results,all 55 cases were divided into CLNM-positive(34 cases)and CLNM-negative groups(21 cases).All patients underwent dual-phase enhanced CT scan of the neck before operation.Image J software was performed to extract the GLCM parameters(angular second moment,contrast,correlation,inverse difference moment,entropy)of the maximum slice of the tumor in the arterial(A)and venous(V)phases,these parameters between the GLCM parameters of CLNM-positive and negative groups were compared.And the receiver operating characteristic curve was applied to evaluate the prediction efficiency.Results A-angular second moment,A-entropy and V-entropy were significant differences between the two groups(t/Z=-2.140,2.753,2.736,all P<0.05),no significant differences were observed in other parameters between the two groups(P>0.05).The area under curve value of A-angular second moment,A-entropy,V-entropy,combined A-angular second moment and A-entropy to predict CLNM was 0.672,0.706,0.686,0.734,respectively.Combined A-angular second moment and A-entropy had the best predictive efficacy,with the sensitivity and specificity were 76.47%and 66.67%,respectively.Conclusion Enhanced CT GLCM has the efficacy to preoperative CLNM in cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma patients,combined arterial phase parameter A-angular second moment and A-entropy has the best prediction efficiency.
