Objective:To observe the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on functional connectivity (FC) in language-related brain regions of patients with picture-naming dysfunction after cerebral infarction by using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI).Methods:Twenty-eight patients with post-infarction picture-naming dysfunction were divided into an acute stage group( n=16) and a recovery stage group( n=12) according to the course of the disease, and 18 middle-aged and elderly volunteers were recruited as the normal control group.The anodic tDCS was applied on the posterior perisylvian region(PPR) of the left sylvian of the patients, 5 days a week for 2 weeks.Before and after the 2 weeks′ treatment, the rs-fMRI and Psycholinguistic Assessment of Chinese Aphasia (PACA)-picture-naming subscale were performed, and FC changes in language-related brain areas were observed. Results:After treatment, the PACA scores of patients in both acute and recovery stage groups were significantly improved after treatment( P<0.05). Compared with normal subjects, FC in multiple brain regions and particularly the Wernicke area was reduced in both cerebral hemispheres among the patient group. It was more severe in the dominant hemisphere.After the tDCS treatment, FC in both frontotemporal lobes and in the Wernicke area was significantly enhanced in both the acute and recovery groups. Further comparison showed that in the acute group FC in both temporo-occipital lobes was significantly enhanced after treatment. In the recovery group, the enhanced FC in the left temporal lobe before the treatment was significantly reduced after treatment. Conclusion:The fMRI technique can evaluate changes in brain connectivity in aphasia patients with picture-naming dysfunction after cerebral infarction accurately and non-invasively.tDCS may improve picture-naming function of stroke patients by enhancing the FC in bilateral language-related brain areas(concentrated in frontotemporal lobes) and Wernicke area.

Objective:To understand the breastfeeding situation in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of doctors and nurses regarding breastfeeding, aiming to provide foundational data for improving breastfeeding quality.Methods:A questionnaire was developed to survey the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to breastfeeding in NICUs. The questionnaire was divided into three dimensions: knowledge (seven items, total score of 7), attitudes (nine items, total score of 45), and practices (seven items, total score of 35). Lower scores indicated weaker recognition of breastfeeding. Additionally, five items were included to identify the most influential factors affecting breastfeeding. From November 25 to November 30, 2023, a survey was conducted among doctors and nurses with professional qualifications who had worked in the neonatal departments of nine hospitals in Qianxinan Prefecture for at least one year. Independent sample t-tests and Chi-square tests were used to compare the scores of doctors and nurses from different levels of hospitals and within the same level of hospitals across the three dimensions. Results:(1) Among the nine hospitals, three were tertiary grade A hospitals (referred to as "tertiary hospitals"), with 95.6% (43/45) of the doctors and 96.5% (110/114) of the nurses participating in the survey. Six were secondary grade A hospitals (referred to as "secondary hospitals"), with 95.0% (38/40) of the doctors and 97.6% (83/85) of the nurses participating. (2) All nine hospitals were baby-friendly hospitals and all had breastfeeding promotional materials. Six hospitals had NICUs that promoted breastfeeding, with an average NICU breastfeeding rate of 25.8% across the prefecture between year 2021 to 2023. (3) The proportion of doctors who had received breastfeeding training was higher than that of nurses within the same level of hospitals [tertiary hospitals: 69.8% (30/43) vs. 40.0% (44/110), χ 2=10.97, P=0.001; secondary hospitals: 47.4% (18/38) vs. 24.1% (20/83), χ 2=6.55, P=0.010], although the overall training rates were low. (4) In tertiary hospitals, doctors scored higher than nurses in the attitude dimension [(35.35±4.75) vs. (33.18±5.60) scores, t=-2.03, P=0.044] and also in the practice dimension [(26.98±3.00) vs. (25.60±3.75) scores, t=-2.17, P=0.032]. In secondary hospitals, the total knowledge dimension score of doctors was higher than that of nurses [(4.92±1.44) vs. (4.20±1.45) scores, t=-2.52, P=0.013]. In tertiary hospitals, the total scores for attitude and practice dimensions of doctors were higher than those of doctors in secondary hospitals, and the total scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions of nurses were higher than those of nurses in secondary hospitals (all P<0.05). (5) In the knowledge dimension, the lowest scoring item of doctors in the tertiary hospitals was "Breastfeeding is possible for maternal hepatitis B newborns after receiving vaccines and immunoglobulin"; the lowest scoring item of nurses in the tertiary hospital, and doctors and nurses in the secondary hospitals was "The duration of breastfeeding has a greater impact on neonatal outcomes". In the attitude dimension, the lowest scoring item for doctors and nurses in both tertiary and secondary hospitals was "You think the breastfeeding process is more troublesome than feeding preterm formula". In the practice dimension, the lowest scoring item of the doctors and nurses in the tertiary hospitals was "Your hospital had enough breastfeeding knowledge training", while for the doctors and nurses in the secondary hospitals were "You have more opportunities to participate in various breastfeeding-related training" and "Breast feeding should be started as soon as possible when the infant is stable after active treatment", respectively. (6) The most influential factors affecting breastfeeding were: lack of cooperation from parents (50.0%, 137/274), relative insufficient human resources for doctors and nurses (21.9%, 60/274), and the absence or poor implementation of breastfeeding management policies (18.3%, 50/274), etc. Conclusions:The breastfeeding rate in NICU of county-level hospitals is relatively low, and medical staff, especially nurses, have insufficient knowledge about breastfeeding. It is necessary to strengthen various breastfeeding training for medical staff to enhance their understanding of NICU breastfeeding.

Objective:To document any effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the picture naming ability of stroke survivors with aphasia.Methods:Twenty-eight aphasic stoke survivors with picture naming dysfunction were divided into an acute group (with a course of disease of <1 month) and a convalescent group (with a course of disease of 2 to 6 months). Eighteen healthy subjects well-matched for age, gender and years of education formed the healthy control group. The patient group received tDCS once a day, 5 days a week for 2 weeks. Before and after the intervention, they were assessed using the Chinese psycholinguistic aphasia assessment (PACA) instrument. The activation of speech-related brain areas in everyone was quantified using resting state functional magnetic imaging (rs-fMRI).Results:After treatment the average PACA image naming scores of both the acute and convalescent groups had improved significantly. ALFF showed significant positive activation in the patient group′s right inferior temporal gyrus and negative activation in their left posterior central gyrus, while ReHo was significantly and positively activated in the right orbital superior frontal gyrus, the left medial superior frontal gyrus, the pericalar fissure cortex and the left parietal gyrus. It was, however, significantly negatively activated in the right posterior central gyrus. In the acute stage group, the ALFF was significantly and positively activated in the right superior frontal gyrus and right angular gyrus after the treatment, while the significant positive ReHo activation was in the right direct gyrus, the right angular gyrus, the right superior frontal gyrus and the right inferior temporal gyrus. In the convalescent group after the intervention the ALFF was significantly and positively activated in the left middle occipital gyrus and the right fusiform gyrus but negatively and significantly activated in the right insula, while ReHo was significantly and positively activated in the left superior temporal gyrus and the right angular gyrus.Conclusions:tDCS can improve the image naming of aphasic stroke survivors. The compensatory activation of language function is mainly in the right hemisphere in the acute stage, but in the convalescent stage the unimpaired brain area of the left cerebral hemisphere is also activated. The long-term recovery of language functioning may be the result of synergy between the hemispheres.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the safety of paroxetine in the treatment of pregnant patients with depression in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, and provide reference for rational clinical use of it. METHODS Retrieved from Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, VIP, CNKI, Wanfang database and SinoMed database, by manual search, randomized controlled studies or observational studies were collected on depression patients who were given paroxetine vs. selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy during the inception to Aug. 2022. Methodological qualities of the included studies were assessed by Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 or Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.4.1 software. RESULTS Finally, 9 observational studies were included, and all included studies were of high quality in NOS scale. Meta-analysis was performed on 8 cohort studies. Meta-analysis showed that the total incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes of mothers and infants [RR=0.99, 95%CI(0.89,1.10),P=0.87], total incidence of maternal adverse pregnancy outcomes [RR=0.98, 95%CI (0.87,1.10), P=0.69] and premature birth [RR=0.89, 95%CI (0.43, 1.83), P=0.75] in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy were lower than that with other SSRI, without statistical significance. The incidence of neonatal complications with paroxetine in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy was higher than that with other SSRI, but the difference was not statistically significant [RR=1.02, 95%CI (0.82,1.29), P=0.84]. One study reported that the incidence of neonatal pulmonary hypertension in paroxetine group was higher than that in other SSRI group (0.4% vs. 0.3%). CONCLUSIONS The safety of peroxetine in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy is comparable with that of other SSRI, but it is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of neonatal pulmonary hypertension.

Objective:To explore the effect of fully automatic image segmentation of adenoid and nasopharyngeal airway by deep learning model based on U-Net network. Methods:From March 2021 to March 2022, 240 children underwent cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, General Hospital of Shenzhen University. 52 of them were selected for manual labeling of nasopharynx airway and adenoid, and then were trained and verified by the deep learning model. After applying the model to the remaining data, compare the differences between conventional two-dimensional indicators and deep learning three-dimensional indicators in 240 datasets. Results:For the 52 cases of modeling and training data sets, there was no significant difference between the prediction results of deep learning and the manual labeling results of doctors(P>0.05). The model evaluation index of nasopharyngeal airway volume: Mean Intersection over Union(MIOU) s (86.32±0.54)%; Dice Similarity Coefficient(DSC): (92.91±0.23)%; Accuracy: (95.92±0.25)%; Precision: (91.93±0.14)%; and the model evaluation index of Adenoid volume: MIOU: (86.28±0.61)%; DSC: (92.88±0.17)%; Accuracy: (95.90±0.29)%; Precision: (92.30±0.23)%. There was a positive correlation between the two-dimensional index A/N and the three-dimensional index AV/(AV+NAV) in 240 children of different age groups(P<0.05), and the correlation coefficient of 9-13 years old was 0.74. Conclusion:The deep learning model based on U-Net network has a good effect on the automatic image segmentation of adenoid and nasopharynx airway, and has high application value. The model has a certain generalization ability.

Objective:To discuss the application of virtual endoscopy in the diagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy and the morphologic classification of adenoid. Methods:The clinical data of 97 children with adenoid hypertrophy admitted to Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Shenzhen University General Hospital from July 2022 to December 2022 were collected. The virtual endoscopic reconstruction of the nasopharynx was performed by cone beam computed tomography. The results of virtual endoscopic adenoid size measurement were compared with the results of nasopharyngeal CT median sagittal position and nasopharyngeal endoscopy. Virtual endoscopic classification of adenoid based on the size of the adenoids and their relationship with the torus tubarius. Results:The t-test results of the size of adenoids measured by virtual endoscopy and nasopharyngeal CT were t=1.699 and P=0.093, and the results of intra-group correlation coefficient(ICC) analysis were ICC=0.921 and P<0.01. The proportion of adenoids measured by virtual endoscopy and nasopharyngeal CT was highly consistent. The t-test results of the size of adenoids measured virtual endoscopy and nasopharyngeal endoscopy were t=1.543 and P=0.15, and the results of intra-group correlation coefficient(ICC) analysis were ICC=0.900 and P<0.01. The proportion of adenoids measured by virtual endoscopy and nasopharyngeal endoscopy was highly consistent. Among the 97 children, the morphological classification results of adenoids were 48 cases of overall hypertrophy type, 47 cases of central bulge type, and 2 cases of flat thickening type. Conclusion:The diagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy by virtual endoscopy has high accuracy, which not only avoids the invasive operation of traditional nasopharyngeal endoscopy, but also can observe the adenoid condition and its relationship with the torus tubarius from multiple angles. And, the morphological classification of adenoids using virtual endoscopy has guiding significance for perioperative preparation.
