Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in children in Tianjin, and provide reference for the prevention and treatment of RSV infection in children.Methods:Clinical data of 2 743 children with acute respiratory infections treated at the Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were collected. Multiplex fluorescent PCR was used to detect the nucleic acid fragments of six respiratory pathogens including Mycoplasma pneumoniae, human rhinovirus, adenovirus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus and RSV in the throat swabs of the patients. A retrospective analysis was performed on the epidemiological and clinical data of RSV-RNA positive cases. Results:The positive rate of RSV-RNA in the 2 743 children was 15.09% (414/2 743). The positive rate of RSV-RNA was 9.29% (73/786) in 2022 and 16.53% (302/1 827) in 2023, with a statistically significant difference between the two years (χ 2=23.45, P<0.05). The incidence of RSV infection in winter and spring was significantly different from that in summer and autumn (χ 2=19.46, P<0.05). The highest and the lowest infection rates of RSV were found in winter (19.32%, 193/999) and autumn (9.43%, 45/477), respectively. There was a significant difference in RSV infection rate among different age groups (χ 2=71.38, P<0.05), with the highest infection rate in the age group of 0-2 years (21.18%, 230/1 086), and the lowest infection rate in the age group of 6-8 years (6.29%, 27/429). Among the 414 children with RSV infection, 359 cases (84.97%) were infected with RSV alone, while the other 55 cases (13.29%) were infected with mixed pathogens. Fifty-two cases had co-infection of RSV and one other pathogen. The most common pathogens in co-infection cases were human rhinovirus (4.83%, 20/414) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (6.04%, 25/414). Conclusions:The RSV infection rate among children with acute respiratory tract infection in Tianjin from 2022 to 2024 was 15.09%, with the highest infection rate in spring and the lowest infection rate in autumn. RSV infection can occur in children of all ages, with the highest infection rate in children aged 0-2 years and the lowest infection rate in children aged 6-8 years. RSV infection is often complicated by other respiratory pathogens, and the most common pathogens are human rhinovirus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Objective:To study the neurodevelopmental prognosis and risk factors for adverse outcomes of neonatal seizure.Methods:From December 2019 to November 2020, infants with neonatal seizure diagnosed in our hospital were enrolled in this retrospective study. Based on survival or not, mental development index (MDI), psychomotor development index (PDI) and seizure episodes at the age of 12 months, the infants were assigned into adverse outcome group and normal outcome group. The risk factors for adverse outcomes were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 75 infants were enrolled,including 39 cases in adverse outcome group and 36 in normal outcome group. 69 cases showed abnormal amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram(aEEG), including 38 mildly abnormal cases,23 moderately abnormal cases and 8 severely abnormal cases, The incidences of adverse outcomes and mortality rates were significantly different ( P<0.05) among infants with different severity levels of aEEG abnormalities and the severity levels of aEEG abnormalities were positively correlated with adverse outcomes ( r=0.367, 0.471, P<0.05).Univariate analysis showed that adverse outcome group had significantly higher incidences of chorioamnionitis, seizure onset age ≤3 d, 5 min Apgar score ≤3, cranial ultrasound abnormalities, brain MR abnormalities and aEEG abnormalities than normal outcome group ( P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that seizure onset age ≤3 d ( OR=3.988, 95% CI 1.376-11.674), abnormal brain MR ( OR=3.296, 95% CI 2.383-17.377) and bilirubin encephalopathy ( OR=3.792,95% CI 2.110-13.216) were independent risk factors for adverse outcomes of neonatal seizure. Conclusions:For neonatal seizure, the infants with more severe abnormal aEEG will have higher incidences of adverse outcomes and mortality. Seizure onset age ≤3 d, brain MR abnormalities and bilirubin encephalopathy were independent risk factors for adverse outcomes of neonatal seizure.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics and imaging features of neonatal ovarian cysts and to analyze treatment and prognosis of ovarian torsion.Methods:From January 2011 to December 2021,neonates with ovarian cysts admitted to the department of neonatology and pediatric surgery of our hospital were retrospectively studied. They were assigned into ovarian torsion group and non-torsion group. Their clinical manifestations, imaging features, pathological results, treatment and prognosis were reviewed and compared.Results:A total of 44 neonates with ovarian cysts were included, all without specific clinical manifestations. 10 neonates were treated with conservative therapy and 34 received surgery. Ovarian torsion were confirmed during surgery in 23 patients. All 34 patients received abdominal ultrasound preoperatively and 31 (91.2%, 31/34) were diagnosed with ovarian cysts. The accuracy rates of ultrasound for cyst location and ovarian torsion were 85.3% (29/34) and 82.6% (19/23),respectively. 30 patients received abdominal CT scan and 23 (76.7%, 23/30) were diagnosed with ovarian cysts. The accuracy rates of CT scan for cyst location and ovarian torsion were 53.3% (16/30) and 47.8% (11/23), respectively. Among the 34 patients treated with surgery, ovarian cyst dissection was performed in 11 patients and cyst resection in 23 patients with torsion necrosis. 24 patients had simple cysts including 15 torsion necrosis (62.5%, 15/24) and 10 had complicated cysts including 8 torsion necrosis(80.0%, 8/10). The average diameter of ovarian cysts was significantly larger in the torsion group [(8.4±1.6) cm] than the non-torsion group [(4.7±1.2) cm] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Neonatal ovarian cysts are mostly unilateral without specific clinical manifestations. Large, bilateral and complex cysts are prone to torsion necrosis. Abdomen ultrasound has advantages than CT scan for the localization of the ovarian cyst and diagnosis of ovarian torsion. Surgical treatment is necessary after diagnosis.

Specnuezhenide(SNZ)is among the main components of Fructus Ligustri Lucidi,which has anti-inflammation,anti-oxidation,and anti-tumor effect.The low bioavailability makes it difficult to explain the mechanism of pharmacological effect of SNZ.In this study,the role of the gut microbiota in the metabolism and pharmacokinetics characteristics of SNZ as well as the pharmacological meaning were explored.SNZ can be rapidly metabolized by the gut microbiome,and two intestinal bacterial metabolites of SNZ,salidroside and tyrosol,were discovered.In addition,carboxylesterase may be the main intestinal bacterial enzyme that mediates its metabolism.At the same time,no metabolism was found in the incubation system of SNZ with liver microsomes or liver homogenate,indicating that the gut microbiota is the main part involved in the metabolism of SNZ.In addition,pharmacokinetic studies showed that salidroside and tyrosol can be detected in plasma in the presence of gut microbiota.Interestingly,tumor development was inhibited in a colorectal tumor mice model administered orally with SNZ,which indicated that SNZ exhibited potential to inhibit tumor growth,and tissue distribution studies showed that salidroside and tyrosol could be distributed in tumor tissues.At the same time,SNZ modulated the structure of gut microbiota and fungal group,which may be the mechanism governing the antitumoral activity of SNZ.Furthermore,SNZ stimulates the secretion of short-chain fatty acids by intestinal flora in vitro and in vivo.In the future,targeting gut microbes and the interaction between natural products and gut microbes could lead to the discovery and development of new drugs.

Objective:To investigate clinical characteristics and high-risk factors of prognosis of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome(TTTS) combined with necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC).Methods:The clinical data of 102 children with TTTS admitted to the NICU at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to January 2020 were collected.Fifty-one pairs(102 cases)of twins without TTTS who were hospitalized at the same time and in the same gestational age were selected as the control group, and the relevant case data were collected and compared.The clinical data of 14 children with NEC in TTTS group were analyzed retrospectively.Results:(1)The average gestational age of TTTS group was(32.24±2.12)weeks, and that was (32.47±1.84) weeks in control group, with no statistical significance( P>0.05). The average birth weight of TTTS group was(1 547.63±523.80)g, which was lower than that of control group(1 658.71±454.13)g( P<0.05). There were 14 children in TTTS group with NEC, with an incidence of 13.7%(14/102), and seven children in the control group with NEC, with an incidence of 6.9%(7/102)( P<0.05). The proportion of very low birth weight infants, NEC occurrence within 2 weeks and mortality in TTTS group were higher than those in control group( P<0.05). (2)Compared with the non-NEC group, the NEC group of TTTS children had lower birth weight, the incidence of intrauterine distress and severe postnatal asphyxia, and the rate of sepsis were significantly higher than those in non-NEC group( P<0.05). (3)Among TTTS children, NEC was diagnosed in ten donors(71.4%) and four recipients(28.6%), with statistically significant difference between two groups( P<0.05). (4)The early clinical symptoms of TTTS complicated with NEC were mainly bloody stools, abdominal distension, poor response, apnea, and vomiting. Conclusion:TTTS is one of the risk factors for NEC, which the occurrence time of TTTS combined with NEC is not completely consistent with the classic NEC, which is more likely to occur within 2 weeks after birth.Children with TTTS complicated with NEC mostly occur in donor infants, and fetal distress in utero, severe asphyxia and sepsis are the high risk factors.The early clinical symptoms of TTTS combined with NEC are not significantly different from those of common NEC, mainly including bloody stools, abdominal diste, poor response, apnea, and vomiting.Vigilance should be raised when similar digestive symptoms appear in children.

Hydrogel is a kind of three-dimensional matrix scaffold material with chemical or physical cross-linked structure, with high moisture retention and high water absorption, but insoluble in water. Because of its good biocompatibility and the ability to imitate the natural cytoplasmic matrix, hydrogel has broad practical significance and application prospects in the fields of tissue engineering and biomedicine. Nerve tissue engineering is a fast-growing field that is expected to address severe neurological diseases. Choosing the right matrix scaffold material to promote neural cell differentiation and axon growth is critical to the overall design of nerve tissue engineering. Hydrogels have been widely used to deliver neurotrophic factors, antagonists of nerve growth inhibitors and other neural growth-promoting agents to tissues to improve the difficult regeneration of the nervous system, and have proven to be excellent matrix scaffold materials for neural tissue engineering. In this review paper, a variety of hydrogel systems that have been applied to neuro-related research were classified and discussed, and their advantages and disadvantages were analyzed. The prospects and challenges of hydrogels in neural tissue engineering were also discussed.

Objective To explore the effects of systematic nursing intervention on calcium and phosphorus metabolism and pruritus in hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 60 patients undergoing hemodialysis in the Department of Nephrology at Wuxi Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from February to August 2017 were selected and divided into control group and observation group by random number method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was given routine care. Dietary guidance, psychological care and comprehensive health education were implemented in the observation group on the basis of routine nursing. Diet, skin pruritus and calcium and phosphorus metabolism were compared between the two groups. Results The dietary compliance rate in the observation group (83.33%) was higher than that in the control group (60.00%) after the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum calcium levels between the two groups (P>0.05). The differences in the total parathyroid hormone and serum phosphorus levels between the two groups were statistically significant (P< 0.05). The degree of pruritus, the distribution of the skin and the score of sleep disturbance in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, with statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions Systematic nursing plays a positive role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism and pruritus in hemodialysis patients and is worthy of promotion and application.
