The discussion on the connotation of children’s subjectivity is not only a response to the lack of children’s subjectivity at the current stage of health management, but also a reference for children’s medical science popularization. Based on the perspective of social critical theory, this study used empirical research methods to review the "Dream Medical College" project of Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. The current situation and influencing factors of health management experience of 1 520 children participating in the "Dream Medical College" project were analyzed. The study showed that 96.35% of 1 316 subjects had diagnosis and treatment experience in specialized hospitals, and the overall negative emotional performance was at a low level (0~12 points). There was significant correlation between diagnosis and treatment, invasive experience and children’s emotional performance (P<0.05). The study revealed that the diagnosis and treatment field is the main practice place of children’s health management, while the subjective of children with different diagnosis and experience perform significantly different. Children over 4 years old have better language anxiety than physical anxiety when receiving diagnosis and treatment. Although medical science popularization is an important practical form of children’s health management, it lacks the science popularization content of invasive diagnosis and treatment and emotional management, and creative popular science form is more suitable for children with long-term and frequent diagnosis and treatment experience.

Objective:By conducting a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 14 patients diagnosed with invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (IFRS) confirmed by metagenomics next generation sequencing (mNGS) technology, we aim to explore the rapid diagnosis value of mNGS in IFRS.Methods:The clinical data of 14 IFRS patients admitted to TianJin First Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from February 2021 to October 2023. The study cohort comprised 8 males and 6 females, with ages ranging from 14 to 77 years. All patients were diagnosed as IFRS by performing mNGS sequencing technology of nasal sinus lesion biopsy specimens. Clinical data such as laboratory examination, imaging examination, histopathological examination results, treatment plan and prognosis were summarized and analyzed.Results:All 14 patients were diagnosed as IFRS, with mNGS detecting pathogens such as Rhizopus (7 cases), Aspergillus (5 cases), Trichoderma (1 case), and Scedosporium apiospermum (1 case). Follow-up evaluations were conducted for a period ranging from 2 months to 2 years post-treatment. At the end of follow-up, 11 out of 14 IFRS patients achieved a complete cure with no signs of recurrence, while the symptoms of the remaining 3 patients significantly improved with comprehensive treatment. Conclusion:mNGS emerges as a highly effective diagnostic tool for IFRS, providing valuable microbiological evidence for clinical diagnosis and demonstrating promising clinical utility.

Objective:To establish a set of artificial intelligence (AI) verification rules for blood routine analysis.Methods:Blood routine analysis data of 18 474 hospitalized patients from the First Hospital of Jilin University during August 1st to 31st, 2019, were collected as training group for establishment of the AI verification rules,and the corresponding patient age, microscopic examination results, and clinical diagnosis information were collected. 92 laboratory parameters, including blood analysis report parameters, research parameters and alarm information, were used as candidate conditions for AI audit rules; manual verification combining microscopy was considered as standard, marked whether it was passed or blocked. Using decision tree algorithm, AI audit rules are initially established through high-intensity, multi-round and five-fold cross-validation and AI verification rules were optimized by setting important mandatory cases. The performance of AI verification rules was evaluated by comparing the false negative rate, precision rate, recall rate, F1 score, and pass rate with that of the current autoverification rules using Chi-square test. Another cohort of blood routine analysis data of 12 475 hospitalized patients in the First Hospital of Jilin University during November 1sr to 31st, 2023, were collected as validation group for validation of AI verification rules, which underwent simulated verification via the preliminary AI rules, thus performance of AI rules were analyzed by the above indicators. Results:AI verification rules consist of 15 rules and 17 parameters and do distinguish numeric and morphological abnormalities. Compared with auto-verification rules, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score of AI rules in training group were 22.7%, 1.6%, 74.5%, 1.3%, 75.7%, 97.2%, 93.5%, 94.7%, 94.1, respectively.All of them were better than auto-verification rules, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001), and with no important case missed. In validation group, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score were 19.2%, 8.2%, 70.1%, 2.5%, 72.6%, 89.2%, 70.0%, 88.3%, 78.1, respectively, Compared with the auto-verification rules, The false negative rate was lower, the false positive rate and the recall rate were slightly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:A set of the AI verification rules are established and verified by using decision tree algorithm of machine learning, which can identify, intercept and prompt abnormal results stably, and is moresimple, highly efficient and more accurate in the report of blood analysis test results compared with auto-vefication.

Objective To study the stability of plate-assisted intramedullary nailing for fixing proximal third tibiafractures, compare and observe biomechanical characteristics of anterolateral or posteromedial plate-assisted intramedullary nailing after fixation of proximal third tibia fractures. Methods Eight artificial tibia of 4th-generation sawbones were divided into two groups based on location of the assisted plate, namely, anterolateral plate group and posteromedial plate group, with 4 specimens in each group. Each two locking bolts were fixed to theintramedullary nail proximally and distally, and each three bicortical screws were fixed to the plate proximally and distally. The specimens were osteotomized with a 10-mm defect which located 0. 5 cm to the proximal locking bolt of intramedullary nail or 5-6 cm distally to the knee joint line, in order to simulate an AO/ OTA 41-A2 type proximal third tibia fracture after fixation of intramedullary nail. After osteotomy was finished, axial compression test, three point bending test, cyclic loading and overstress test were conducted by mechanical testing machine. The results of axial stiffness and three-point stiffness between two groups were compared and analyzed. Results Axial compression test showed that the average axial stiffness in posteromedial plate group was lower than that in anterolateral plate group, but no significantly statistical differences were found between the two groups. Three point bending test showed that the average bending stiffness in posteromedial plate group was significantly higher than that in anterolateral plate group when stimulating either varus stress (plate located at pressure side of the fracture, t = 3. 679, P<0. 05) or valgus stress (plate located at tension side of the fracture, t = 8. 975, P<0. 05). Conclusions Plate-assisted intramedullary nailing for fixation of proximal third tibia fractures can minimize the angulation malalignment, improve the stability of nailed proximal tibial fragment and allow the early weight bearing. Both anterolateral and posteromedial plate-assisted intramedullary nail can provide satisfactory axial stability for proximal third tibia fractures, while posteromedial plate-assisted intramedullary nail shows better bending stability than anterolateral plate in countering varus or valgus stress deformity. This study provides an essential basis for clinical decision making about plate-assisted intramedullary nailing for fixing proximal third tibia fractures.

Objective:To compare the early clinical efficacy between reaming after distal tibia cortical fenestration combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulphate and trench grooving combined with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) for the treatment of chronic tibial osteomyelitis after intramedullary nail fixation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in the 20 patients who had been surgically treated for chronic tibial osteomyelitis after intramedullary nail fixation at Department of Trauma Orthopaedics, Honghui Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021. According to the surgical methods, they were divided into a reaming group and a grooving group. In the reaming group, there were 6 males and 3 females with an age of (47.6±11.4) years; in the grooving group, there were 9 males and 2 females with an age of (49.2±13.9) years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of duration of infection, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, bacterial culture results, total hospital stay, time for inflammatory indexes to return to normal, time for weight-bearing, complication rate, infection control rate, and good to excellent rate by Johner-Wruhs joint function scoring.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing they were comparable ( P > 0.05). All patients were followed up for 12 to 25 months after operation. There were no significant differences in the duration of infection, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, bacterial culture results, time for inflammatory indexes to return to normal, complication rate, infection control rate, or Johner-Wruhs scoring between the 2 groups ( P > 0.05). The total hospital stay [(11.7 ± 4.7) d] and weight-bearing time [(5.8 ± 1.6) weeks] for the reaming group were significantly shorter than those for the grooving group [(16.8 ± 4.6) d and (8.1 ± 2.9) weeks] ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of chronic tibial osteomyelitis after intramedullary nail fixation, compared with conventional trench grooving combined with PMMA, reaming after distal tibia cortical fenestration combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulphate can not only obtain satisfactory outcomes by infection control but also shorten the treatment cycle by allowing the patients to start early weight bearing.

Objective:To evaluate the clinic efficacy of channel bone grafting [preservation of the sclerotic bone at the broken nonunion ends and fixation with limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP)] in the treatment of postoperative atrophic nonunion of middle clavicular fracture.Methods:The 41 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Xi'an Hong-Hui Hospital for atrophic nonunion after internal fixation of middle clavicular fracture from June 2015 to December 2019. They were 23 males and 18 females, with a mean age of 47.6 years (from 28 to 63 years). The left side was affected in 25 cases and the right side in 16 cases. The time interval between initial fracture surgery and nonunion surgery averaged 18.5 months (from 9 to 40 months). Thirty-six cases had undergone one operation and 5 cases 2 operations before admission. The length of bone defect was measured during operation. All nonunions were treated with construction of a graft channel, iliac bone graft and LC-DCP internal fixation above the clavicle. The upper limb function of the affected side was evaluated by the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) 12 months after operation.Results:The 41 patients were followed up for an average of 13.6 months (from 12 to 15 months). A bone defect ≤2.0 cm was found in 25 cases and that >2.0 cm in 16 ones. Nonunion healed in all patients after an average time of 14 weeks (from 12 to 16 weeks). One patient reported continuous pain in the donor area after operation and the other developed deep venous thrombosis at the right lower limb. The DASH upper limb scores at 12 months after operation averaged 14.7.Conclusion:Channel bone grafting is a feasible clinical treatment of postoperative atrophic nonunion of middle clavicular fracture, because it preserves the sclerotic bone at the broken nonunion ends, reduces the amount of iliac bone graft and leads to fine clinic efficacy.
