Objective:To explore the developmental characteristics of event-related potential(ERP) in cognitive function of recognition memory in children aged 6-12.Methods:A total of 130 normal children were divided into seven age groups (6 ( n=20), 7 ( n=17), 8 ( n=23), 9 ( n=24), 10 ( n=19), 11 ( n=15), and 12 years old ( n=12)) to perform a picture study-recognition task and record the reaction time, accuracy, and ERP components of all participants. SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis. Single factor analysis of variance and trend of variance were used to compare the response time and accuracy of 7 groups of children during the recognition stage. Pearson correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between the amplitude of the central midline N2 component and age. Paired t-test was used to examine the old/new effects of the amplitude of midfrontal N2 and midparietal P3 waves. Results:(1) The differences of recognition ability ( F(6, 123)=2.476, P<0.05), old picture reaction time ( F(6, 123)=6.461, P<0.001), and new picture reaction time ( F(6, 123)=4.163, P<0.001) among 7 age groups of children were statistically significant. Recognition ability of children aged 6 (0.61±0.24) was lower than those of 8-12 years old children((0.76±0.27), (0.76±0.10), (0.73±0.11), (0.75±0.10), (0.70±0.17) respectively)(all P<0.05). The reaction time of the old picture showed no difference among the children aged 6-9 (all P>0.05), and the reaction time of old picture of children aged 12 was shorter than those of 6-10 years old children (all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the reaction time of new pictures among the children aged 6-10 (all P>0.05), and which in children aged 12 was shorter than those in 6-10 years old children(all P<0.01). (2) Age was positively correlated with the amplitude of the N2 component in the central region under the new ( r=0.488, P<0.001) and old picture( r=0.452, P<0.001) conditions. (3)At 6 years old, children showed old/new effects on the mid-frontal electrodes. At 7 years old, there were no old/new effects in either the mid-frontal or mid-parietal regions. From 8 to 9 years old, old/new effects appeared in the mid-parietal lobe. At 10 years old, old/new effects were present in both the mid-frontal and mid-parietal regions. At 11 years old, the mid-parietal lobe showed old/new effects. Finally, at 12 years old, negative old/new effects could be observed in both the mid-frontal and mid-parietal regions. Conclusion:There are three periods of changes in the behavior of picture recognition memory in school-age children. At ages 6-7, the accuracy rate is relatively low; at ages 8-9, it improves; and between ages 10-12, the accuracy rate stabilizes while also enabling faster judgments.Children's recognition memory retrieval process is more complex than their behavioral performance. Children have different tendencies toward strategies, but strategic transitions in recognition processing are not always beneficial for performance.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is currently incurable and treatment drugs are limited and can only delay the condition. The latest research shows that α-linolenic acid can prolong the survival period of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This article reviews the neuroprotective effects of α-linolenic acid on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis through different mechanisms of action, aiming at providing some references for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Objective To investigate the difference of the disease progression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with different muscle mass levels and the influence of related factors on the disease progression. Methods A total of 308 newly diagnosed patients with COPD from February 2021 to February 2022 were selected for this study. All patients were below moderate COPD. The patients were divided into two groups according to their muscle mass levels: sarcopenia group (98 cases) and control group (210 cases). The diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia were based on sarcopenia diagnostic thresholds: RSMI <7.0kg/m² in men and <5.4kg/m² for women. All subjects were followed up for 4 months to observe the progress of the patient's condition. The correlation between the muscle mass level and pulmonary function level, as well as the results of 6-minute walking test and CAT score was evaluated, and the influence of muscle mass level on the patient's disease progress was analyzed. At the same time, the potential influence of related factors (body fat rate, vitamin D level, etc.) on the condition of patients with different muscle mass levels was discussed. SPSS 19.0 software was used to perform statistical analysis. Results Under the same treatment intervention, the baseline and follow-up lung function improvement levels of patients in the sarcopenia group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At the same time, the baseline and follow-up 6-minute walk test results of the patients in the sarcopenia group were also worse than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Further correlation analysis was carried out between the patient's muscle mass level and the post-treatment pulmonary function indicators and 6MWD test level. The results showed that the muscle mass level was positively correlated with several pulmonary function indicators (FEV1, FEV1% predict) and 6MWD (both P<0.05). Considering the possible influence of other factors on the control and progress of the patient's condition, the present study used follow-up CAT score results to distinguish the prognosis of the patient's condition improvement, and used improvement and non-improvement as dependent variables to analyze the influence of various potential influencing factors. The results of regression model analysis showed that lower baseline muscle mass, women, lower body fat percentage, and lower vitamin D level were the main risk factors. Conclusion Under the same treatment condition, COPD patients with different muscle mass levels improve more slowly when complicated with sarcopenia and have poor prognosis. Women, lower body fat percentage and lower vitamin D level are potential risk factors for poor prognosis.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and feasibility of performing a new surgical procedure, tunnel esophagogastrostomy, to perform proximal gastrectomy.Methods:The study cohort comprised 10 consecutive patients who had undergone esophagogastrostomy by the tunnel technique in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital between October 2019 and July 2022. All patients were male. Their average age was (64.2±8.1) years and body mass index (25.5±3.2) kg/m2. Nine had upper gastric body adenocarcinoma, the remaining one having signet ring cell carcinoma. TNM staging of the tumors showed that seven were Stage IA, one Stage IB, one Stage IIA, and one Stage IIIA. Briefly, tunnel esophagogastrostomy is performed as follows: After performing a proximal gastrectomy, a rectangular seromuscular flap (3.0 cm × 3.5 cm) is created. The posterior esophageal wall is sutured to the gastric wall at the orad end of the seromuscular flap 5 cm from the stump with three to four stitches. Next, the stump of the esophagus is opened, the posterior esophageal wall is sutured to the gastric mucosa and submucosa, and the anterior esophageal wall is sutured to the full layer of the stomach. Finally, the caudad end of the seromuscular flap is closed. Data on surgical safety, postoperative morbidity, and postoperative reflux esophagitis were analyzed. All enrolled patients completed endoscopic follow-up 1 year and 2 years after surgery.Results:All procedures were completed. They comprised four cases of laparoscopic assisted surgery, four of DaVinci robotic surgery, and two of open surgery. The mean operation time was 212.7±33.2 mins, mean anastomosis time (51.6±5.3) minutes, mean tunnel preparation time (20.0±3.5) minutes, and mean operative blood loss (90.0±51.6) mL. The time to first postoperative passage of flatus was (64.8±11.5) hours. The mean hospital stay after surgery was (9.2±1.7) days. There were no postoperative complications above Clavien-Dindo Grade II. The mean preoperative Reflux Disease Questionnaire score was (3.3± 0.4) before the surgery, (3.8±1.0) 1 month postoperatively, and (3.3±0.4) 12 months postoperatively. All patients underwent endoscopic follow-up; no anastomotic stenoses were found. However, one patient had Grade A reflux esophagitis 1 year after surgery and another Grade B reflux esophagitis 2 years after surgery.Conclusion:Esophagogastrostomy by the tunnel technique is a safe and feasible means of performing proximal gastrectomy.

Objective:To explore the vigilant attention function and behavioral changes in sleep disordered breathing(SDB) children.Methods:Thirty SDB children (SDB group) and 30 normal children (control group) were selected from June 2022 to August 2023. All participants underwent continuous performance test(CPT-AX) (Go/Nogo) and behavioral test. The latency and amplitude of contingent negative variation(CNV) components under cue/uncue conditions in leads F3, Fz and F4 were measured. The t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to conduct statistical analysis by SPSS 25.0 software. Results:(1) There were no statistically significant differences in the number of correct responses, reaction time and number of false alarms between the SDB group and the control group (all P>0.05).(2) The latencies of cue-CNV in the SDB group(F3: 618.00(582.50, 644.50)ms, Fz: 603.00(579.50, 634.00)ms, F4: (606.87±25.07)ms) were longer than those in the control group(F3: (508.47±25.82)ms, Fz: 502.00(470.00, 520.50)ms, F4: 514.00(487.00, 536.50)ms) in leads F3, Fz and F4. The latency of cue-CNV of lead F4 in the SDB group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The latencies of uncue-CNV in lead F3 and Fz in the SDB group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). Conclusion:SDB children have shown activation in the right brain area during attentional tasks, and the prolonged CNV latency may be a sensitive neuroelectrophysiological marker for early clinical assessment of vigilant attention dysfunction.

Objective:To explore the cognitive function characteristics of children with primary snoring (PS) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) using event-related potentials.Methods:From October 2020 to October 2022, 20 children with OSAHS, 20 children with PS, and 22 normal children were recruited for continuous performance task (CPT) and behavioral assessments. ERP and behavioral data were meticulously recorded, with measurements of N1, P2, N2, and P3 wave amplitudes and latencies at F3, Fz, and F4 electrode sites. Statistical analyses were conducted using one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test via SPSS 25.0 software.Results:(1) Behavioural test: There was no statistically significant difference in terms of correct responses, response times, and false alarms among the three groups (all P>0.05). (2) F3 Lead: There were statistically significant differences in Go-P2 amplitude, Nogo-P2 amplitude, Nogo-P2 latency, Go-P3 amplitude, and Nogo-P3 latency among the three groups (all P<0.05). Specifically, the OSAHS group exhibited higher Go-P2 amplitude((15.03±5.12) μV vs (10.97±5.50)μV), Nogo-P2 amplitude((14.80±5.84) μV vs (9.67±4.79)μV), and Go-P3 amplitude((11.58±6.02) μV vs (7.49±4.89) μV) compared to the normal group. Additionally, the OSAHS and PS groups exhibited longer Nogo-P2 latency compared to the normal group((223.10±20.61) ms vs (208.00±23.09) ms, (230.60±13.61) ms vs (208.00±23.09) ms), as well as prolonged Nogo-P3 latency((459.20±34.26) ms vs (460.40±24.52) ms and (429.91±31.49) ms) (all P<0.05). Fz Lead: There were statistically significant differences in Go-N1, Go-P2, Nogo-P2, Go-P3, Nogo-N2 wave amplitudes, and Nogo-P3 latency among the three groups (all P<0.05). Compared to the normal group, the OSAHS group exhibited increased Go-P3 amplitude((9.07±5.68) μV vs (5.10±3.51) μV) and decreased Nogo-N2 amplitude((-8.80±5.97) μV vs (-12.84±4.86) μV). Moreover, both the OSAHS and PS groups had prolonged Nogo-P3 latency compared to the normal group((481.60±45.16) ms vs (435.13±28.17) ms and 484.00(443.50, 525.00) ms vs (435.13±28.17) ms) (both P<0.05). F4 Lead: There were statistically significant differences in Go-P2 and Nogo-P2 wave amplitudes among the three groups (all P<0.05). Compared to the normal group, the OSAHS group demonstrated increased Go-P2 amplitude((13.72±5.64) μV vs (9.70±4.59) μV) and Nogo-P2 amplitude((13.90±5.35) μV vs (9.64±3.74) μV) (both P<0.05). Conclusions:Both children with OSAHS and PS exhibit attentional cognitive impairments. However, children with OSAHS demonstrate more pronounced deficits in conflict monitoring, response inhibition, and executive functioning. The prolonged latency of the P3 wave serves as a sensitive electrophysiological marker for the early detection of neurocognitive impairment in children with sleep disordered breathing.
