ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effectiveness and safety of Xuandi Ziyin Mixture （玄地滋阴合剂） for central precocious puberty （CPP） in girls with syndrome of yin deficiency and fire exuberance， and to analyse the effect of body mass index （BMI） on the effectiveness. MethodsA total of 236 girls with CPP of yin deficiency and fire exuberance syndrome were included， and all of them were given Xuandi Ziyin Mixture， 30 ml each time， twice a day， for a total treatment period of 6 months. Before and after treatment， children's weight， height and bone age were measured， BMI and BMI Z-score （BMI Z） and the difference between bone age and actual age were calculated； ultrasound was used to detect uterine and ovarian sizes， and to calculate uterine volume （V_uterus）， bilateral ovarian volume （V_{left ovary}， V_{right ovary}）， and bilateral maximal follicle diameters （r_{left follicle} and r_{right follicle}）； and serum sex hormones were measured， including follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinising hormone （LH）， prolactin （PRL）， estradiol （E₂）， and testosterone （T）， and were scored for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the influence factors of the difference between bone age and actual age， and changes in uterine volume. The children were divided into the normal weight group and the overweight/obesity group according to baseline BMI， and the bone age， the difference between bone age and actual age， V_uterus and BMI Z scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. ResultsFinally， 199 children entered the statistical analysis. Compared with pre-treatment， the bone age， BMI and BMI Z scores of the children increased after treatment， and the difference between bone age and actual age， TCM syndrome scores， V_uterus， V_{left ovary}， V_{right ovary}， r_{left follicle} and r_{right follicle} decreased； and the levels of serum FSH， LH， E₂， and T significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The difference between bone age and actual age was negatively correlated with LH and V_uterus （P＜0.05）， and changes in uterine volume were positively correlated with LH （P＜0.01）. Comparing between the groups before and after treatment， the bone age， difference between bone age and actual age， and BMI Z scores of children in the normal weight group （100 cases） were significantly smaller than those in the overweight/obesity group （99 cases） （P＜0.01）. Compared with pre-treatment， the bone age of the children in both groups increased， but the difference between bone age and actual age and V_uterus were significantly smaller （P＜0.01）. Further comparison of Δ bone age and actual age difference and ΔV_uterus （Δ = post-treatment value - pre-treatment value） between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference （P＞0.05）. ConclusionsXuandi Ziyin Mixture can reduce bone age， sex hormone level， ovary and uterus size， and improve clinical symptoms in girls with yin deficiency and fire exuberance syndrome of CPP. It is also effective in overweight/obese children， and the inhibitory effect on bone age in girls with CPP is not affected by BMI， with good safety.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of 7 patients with non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep induced by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).Methods:The clinical and electrophysiological data of 7 patients with SSRI drug-related NREM excessive eye movement admitted to Sleep Center, Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, from June 2021 to May 2022 were summarized.Results:Seven patients ranged in age from 10 to 76 years (median 34 years), and four were female. Four patients were diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and three patients were diagnosed with narcolepsy (one patient was comorbidized with periodic limb movement disorder). Sertraline was used in 4 patients, fluoxetine in 1 patient, escitalopram in 1 patient, and paroxetine hydrochloride in 1 patient. SSRI drug-related excessive eye movement in NREM stage was detected in all patients, which was characterized by coexistence of slow eye movement and fast eye movement, and eye movement density in stage 1 was greater than that in stage 2. All patients had sleep structure disorder, increased proportion of NREM phase 1 sleep and a large number of micro-awakenings.Conclusions:During SSRI drug use, some patients have characteristic abnormal eye movement in NREM, mostly in NREM 1 and 2 sleep, which should be distinguished from normal rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of time in range(TIR)and its relationship with oxidative stress(OS)and insulin resistance status(HOMA-IR)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods According to apnea-hypopnea index(AHI),165 T2DM in patients were divided into simple T2DM group(AHI<5 times/h,n=43),T2DM combine OSAHS mild group(OSAHS-G,5≤AHI<15 times/h,n=51),T2DM combined OSAHS moderate group(OSAHS-M,15≤AHI≤30 times/h,n=40)and T2DM combine OSAHS severe group(OSAHS-S,AHI>30 times/h,n=31).TIR was calculated by dynamic blood glucose monitoring.Superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and other indexes were detected and analyzed.Results Compared with simple T2DM group,the levels of HOMA-IR,8-iso-PGF2a and Ox-LDL were higher in T2DM combined OSAHS-G,OSAHS-M or OSAHS-S group,while the levels of TIR,SOD and GSH-Px were lower(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that TIR was positively correlated with the levels of SOD and GSH-Px(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and negatively correlated with the levels of 8-iso-PGF2a,Ox-LDL,HbA1c,HOMA-IR and the severity of OSAHS(P<0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that TIR,SOD and GSH-Px were protective factors for severe OSAHS in T2DM patients,while 8-iso-PGE2a and Ox-LDL were the risk factors for severe OSAHS.Conclusions The glucose level fluctuates greatly in patients with T2DM and OSAHS.Insulin resistance and oxidative stress are factors that affect the normalization of TIR.

Objective To investigate the results of ambulatory electrocardiographic(ECG)monitoring in a community-based homebound elderly population and to explore the applicability of wearable long-range ambulatory ECG monitor for them.Methods Elderly volunteers were recruited in Shuangbei Community,Shapingba District,Chongqing,from November 2021 to June 2023.A single-lead wearable ambulatory ECG recorder was applied to them to obtain ECG for 7 consecutive days.The adverse reactions,acceptability,monitoring duration,and arrhythmia detection rate during the wearing were described and recorded.Serious arrhythmic events included frequent atrial premature,atrial flutter,atrial fibrillation(AF),frequent ventricular premature,and RR intervals ≥5 s.Results There were 416 individuals enrolled,with a mean age of 71.2±6.6 years,and a male percentage of 36.1％(150 men).Finally,384(92.3％)participants completed the wearing of the ECG monitor for 7 d,with an average time of 159.2±29.4 h.There were 179 participants(48.5％)reporting no discomfort during wearing,and 175 ones(47.4％)feeling itchy at the wearing site.The monitoring results showed that the common arrhythmias were atrial premature contractions(97.1％),premature ventricular contractions(93.3％),atrial tachycardia(84.6％),bradycardia(46.6％),frequent atrial premature contractions(15.1％),ventricular tachycardia(13.2％),and long RR interval(11.8％).Among them,29.1％of the participants experienced serious arrhythmic events,and the detection rate of certain serious arrhythmic events was comparatively higher in the individuals≥70 years of age and those with history of previous cardiac disease.Conclusion The detection rate of common arrhythmias is quite high in the community-based homebound elderly population.A 7-day long-range ambulatory ECG monitoring may be appropriate.

Objective To analyze and construct systolic blood pressure(SBP)fluctuation trajectory in a community population with hypertension and to analyze the factors influencing different trajectories.Methods This is a community-based retrospective cohort study.A latent class trajectory model was used to identify and construct longitudinal trajectories of blood pressure change.Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the associated factors of blood pressure trajectories by adjusting for different confounders.Potential confounding factors were identified using a directed acyclic graph based on a priori knowledge.Results A total of 793 patients with hypertension were enrolled in the analysis.They were divided into 3 groups by LCTM-fitted systolic blood pressure trajectories,namely stable low-level group(n=561,70.74％),declining group(n=170,21.44％)and rising group(n=62,7.82％).Significant differences were observed among the 3 trajectories groups in terms of age,frequency of exercise,ways of follow-up,salt intake,compliance behavior,and referral(P＜0.05).Compared to the stable low-level group and adjusting for corresponding confounding factors,the male patients and the patients with"outpatient follow-up"were more likely to be classified into"declining group",with OR and 95％CI of 1.436(1.016～2.030)and 1.702(1.202～2.410),respectively.The participants aged ≥ 65 years,who did not exercise or occasionally exercised,and had moderate and severe salt intake,were more likely to be classified into the"rising group"(OR=1.949,2.284,2.433,4.540,95％CI:1.145～3.317,1.305～3.998,1.272～4.654,1.291～15.963).Conclusion SBP trajectories in community-dwelling hypertensive population can be divided into stable low-level,declining and rising groups.Gender,age,salt intake,exercise frequency,and follow-up methods may be influencing factors for SBP blood pressure trajectory.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting delayed chemotherapy in children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and their influence on prognosis.Methods:Retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 591 children aged ≤18 years with BL from May 2017 to December 2022 in China Net Childhood Lymphoma (CNCL) was collected. The patients were treated according to the protocol CNCL-BL-2017. According to the clinical characteristics, therapeutic regimen was divided into group A, group B and group C .Based on whether the total chemotherapy time was delayed, patients were divided into two groups: the delayed chemotherapy group and the non-delayed chemotherapy group. Based on the total delayed time of chemotherapy, patients in group C were divided into non-delayed chemotherapy group, 1-7 days delayed group and more than 7 days delayed group. Relationships between delayed chemotherapy and gender, age, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy, bone marrow involvement, disease group (B/C group), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > 4 times than normal, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy, minimal residual disease in the interim assessment, and severe infection (including severe pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, chickenpox, etc.) were analyzed. Logistic analysis was used to identify the relevant factors. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the patients' survival information. Log-Rank was used for comparison between groups.Results:Among 591 patients, 504 were males and 87 were females, the follow-up time was 34.8 (18.6,50.1) months. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (92.5±1.1)%,and the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was (90.5±1.2)%. Seventy-three (12.4%) patients were in delayed chemotherapy group and 518 (87.6%) patients were in non-delayed chemotherapy group. The reasons for chemotherapy delay included 72 cases (98.6%) of severe infection, 65 cases (89.0%) of bone marrow suppression, 35 cases (47.9%) of organ dysfunction, 22 cases (30.1%) of tumor lysis syndrome,etc. There were 7 cases of chemotherapy delay in group B, which were seen in COPADM (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone+daunorubicin+methotrexate+intrathecal injection,4 cases) and CYM (methotrexate+cytarabine+intrathecal injection,3 cases) stages. There were 66 cases of chemotherapy delay in group C, which were common in COPADM (28 cases) and CYVE 1 (low dose cytarabine+high dose cytarabine+etoposide+methotrexate, 12 cases) stages. Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that the age over 10 years old ( OR=0.54,95% CI 0.30-0.93), tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy ( OR=0.48,95% CI 0.27-0.84) and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy ( OR=0.55,95% CI 0.33-0.91)were independent risk factors for chemotherapy delay.The 3-year OS rate and the 3-year EFS rate of children with Burkitt lymphoma in the delayed chemotherapy group were lower than those in the non-delayed chemotherapy group ((79.4±4.9)% vs. (94.2±1.1)%, (80.2±4.8)% vs. (92.0±1.2)%,both P<0.05). The 3-year OS rate of the group C with chemotherapy delay >7 days (42 cases) was lower than that of the group with chemotherapy delay of 1-7 days (22 cases) and the non-delay group (399 cases) ((76.7±6.9)% vs. (81.8±8.2)% vs. (92.7±1.3)%, P=0.002).The 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (9 cases) in the COP (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone) phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (454 cases) ((66.7±15.7)% vs. (91.3±1.4)%, P=0.005). Similarly, the 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (11 cases) in the COPADM1 phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (452 cases) ((63.6±14.5)% vs. (91.5±1.3)%, P=0.001). Conclusions:The delayed chemotherapy was related to the age over 10 years old, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy in pediatric BL. There is a significant relationship between delayed chemotherapy and prognosis of BL in children.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) refers to the sudden, unexpected and unexplained death of epilepsy patients, which is an important reason for the significant increase of the death risk of epilepsy patients. The risk factors of SUDEP are related to poor control of seizures, nocturnal seizures, prone position, antiepileptic drugs, comorbidity, etc. Epilepsy death caused by SUDEP has become a major public health problem. The latest progress in neuropathology and cardiopulmonary pathology of SUDEP was reviewed in this article.
