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.

Objective: To investigate the molecular typing and drug resistance of Salmonella in market-sold raw livestock meats in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for the prevention and control of drug-resistant Salmonella. Methods: Salmonella isolates were detected and serotyped from raw livestock meat samples collected from supermarkets, agricultural markets and restaurants in Shaoxing City between March and November 2023. Molecular typing was performed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Antibiotic resistance phenotypes and resistance gene analyses were conducted using broth microdilution method and whole genome sequencing. Results: A total of 34 Salmonella isolates were detected from 329 samples and the positive rate was 10.33%. There were 14 serotypes, with S. Rissen (9 isolates, 26.47%) and S. London (8 isolates, 23.53%) being dominant. PFGE typing revealed 31 band patterns and 23 banding pattern clusters of Salmonella, and the similarity ranged from 30.80% to 100.00%, without dominant band patterns. MLST identified 15 sequence typing (ST) types, and S. Rissen were all ST469 and S. London were all ST155. Salmonella strains exhibited high levels of resistance to tetracycline (44.12%) and ampicillin (35.29%). Thirteen resistance patterns were identified, with 8 multidrug resistant patterns (29.41%). There were 8 classes of 14 resistance genes, with aminoglycoside resistance gene aac(6' )-Iaa found in 100.00% of the strains. The highest concordance rate between the resistance phenotype and gene was observed for phenicol antibiotics (97.06%), while there was no concordance between the quinolone resistance phenotype and genes. Conclusions S. Rissen and S. London are the predominant serotypes in market-sold raw livestock meats in Shaoxing City. The PFGE band types of the Salmonella isolates show polymorphism distribution, and MLST are mainly ST469 and ST155. The isolates have high levels of resistance to tetracycline and ampicillin, manifesting multidrug resistance.

Preterm infants significantly lag behind full-term infants in various behavioral and cognitive aspects of language development. The maturity of the nervous system in preterm infants may be a key factor limiting their language development. In terms of brain structure, preterm infants typically have smaller brain volumes, slower developmental speeds, and are more susceptible to injury, which may hinder the development of information processing and language abilities. Functionally, the brain activity patterns of preterm infants differ from those of full-term infants, involving different brain activation regions and network connectivity when processing language-related tasks. This suggests that preterm infants may require more effort or adopt different neural pathways for language comprehension and output. This article reviews the research progress on the neural mechanisms of language development in preterm infants to provide insights for further research in this area.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), as the third most abundant solid nutrient in breast milk, are critical for early infants growth. HMOs are not only involved in the development of the immune system, maintaining inflammation balance, regulating gut microbiota, and participating in the maturation of the digestive system, but also in the improvement of the brain's nervous system and the development of advanced cognitive functions such as learning and memory. However, the role of HMOs in regulating neural development remains unclear. Related studies have focused on the mechanism of the microbiota-gut-brain axis, indicating that there is a practical interaction between the gut and brain. The function of HMOs in children's neurocognition and the biological process of disorders via this mechanism has also been preliminary reported. This review aims to review the structural characteristics and species-specific characteristics of HMOs, and analyze the potential pathways of HMOs in infant nervous system development from the perspective of the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

Objective To evaluate systematically the correlation between the expression level of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) and lymph node metastasis of endometrial cancer (EC). Methods Computers were used to search for the literatures about the correlation between the expression level of HE4 and lymph node metastasis of EC in PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang Database. The search time was from the database establishment to May 2021. Articles were screened in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the quality of literature was evaluated by Newcastle Ottawa scale. Stata12.0 was used to perform meta-analysis, and TSA was used to evaluate the sample size. Results A total of 2736 patients with EC were included in the 25 eligible studies. The results of meta-analysis showed that the expression level of HE4 in the EC-lymph-node metastasis group was significantly higher than that in the non-metastasis group (SMD=1.58, 95%CI: 1.13-2.03), and meta-regression analysis revealed that the results were related to the average age of patients in each study. TSA analysis exhibited that the total sample size of the included studies met the requirements. Conclusion The expression level of HE4 is correlated with lymph node metastasis of EC, and this correlation may be affected by age, body mass index, and other factors. The correlation weakens with the increase in age.

Objective:To explore the developmental characteristics of Chinese semantic and orthographic processing in normal school-age children by event-related potential (ERP) technique.Methods:Children aged 7-11 in an ordinary primary school in Changzhou were randomly selected and divided into 7-year old group ( n=21 ), 8-year old group ( n=21), 9-year old group ( n=19), 10-year old group ( n=20) and 11- year old group ( n=22) according to their age.ERP was recorded while subjects completed the Chinese character semantic activation task and pseudo word judgment task. Then the N400 and P200 amplitudes of school-age children under the conditions of semantic correlation, semantic uncorrelation and pseudo word judgment were collected, and the data were analyzed by three factors mixed design ANOVA.Data of behavioral accuracy and response time were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni correction was used for multiple hypothesis testing. The statistical software was SPSS 25.0. Results:(1)Behavioral results: the accuracy of semantic related and semantic unrelated tasks of children in the five groups aged 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 were statistically significant ( F=15.55, 4.01, both P<0.01), and the accuracy of children in the 7-year old group was significantly lower than those in the other four groups (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the accuracy of pseudo word judgment task among the five groups ( F=0.68, P=0.609). The response time of children in the five groups under semantic related and semantic unrelated tasks was significantly different ( F=3.90, 3.13, both P<0.05). The response time of the 11-year old group under semantic related tasks was significantly shorter than those of the 7-, 8- and 9-year old groups (all P<0.05). The response time of the 7-year old and 11-year old groups under semantic unrelated tasks was significantly shorter than those of the 8-, 9- and 10-year old groups (all P<0.05). (2)ERP results: N400 amplitudes of 7-, 8-, 9-, 10- and 11-year old children under semantic related tasks were significantly smaller than those under semantic unrelated tasks and pseudo word judgment tasks (all P<0.05). The N400 amplitude of the subjects gradually decreased with the increase of age, except that there was no statistical difference between the 10-year old and 11-year old groups under the semantic related task, between the 8-year old and 9-year old groups under the semantic unrelated task and the pseudo word judgment task, and between the 10-year old and 11-year old groups (all P>0.05), there were statistical differences between the other age groups (all P<0.05). P200 amplitude of semantic related task at 7-, 8-, 9- and 10-year old was significantly higher than that at semantic unrelated task (all P<0.05), and the amplitude of semantic related task at 7-, 8-, 10- and 11-year old was significantly higher than that at pseudo word judgment (all P<0.05). The amplitude of P200 gradually increased with age, and there were significant differences in pairwise comparison among other age groups ( P<0.05), except semantic related task and unrelated task among 7-, 8- and 9-year old groups, between 10- and 11-year old groups, and pseudo word task between 7- and 8- years old groups, 10- and 11- year old groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The semantic processing and orthographic processing of school-age children develop with age in a unique way. The age of 7 is an important period for cognitive development of Chinese language.The age of 8-9 may be a sensitive period for the development of brain plasticity, and the development slows down at the age of 10-11.

Objective To discuss the prognostic evaluation of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in term neonates with mild and severe asphyxia.Methods Eleven neonates with mild asphyxia,14 neonates with severe asphyxia and 10 control neonates were studied.All the neonates were examined by conventional magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and DTI.Fraction anisotropy (FA) values,apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values,voxel numbers and fiber numbers were calculated in seven regions of interest(ROI) and compared among the 3 groups.The correlation between FA values and neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA) scores were analyzed.Results (1) FA values in the left and the right thalamus were 0.54 ± 0.08 and 0.56 ± 0.15 in control group,0.45 ±0.03 and 0.44 ± 0.10 in mild group,and 0.21 ± 0.11 and 0.25 ± 0.13,respectively in severe group.FA values in posterior limbs of internal capsule were 0.49 ± 0.09 and 0.48 ± 0.08 in control group,0.37 ± 0.08 and 0.38 ± 0.03 in mild group,and 0.20 ± 0.04,0.19 ± 0.13 in severe group;FA values in thalamus and posterior limbs of internal capsule had statistical differences among the 3 groups (F =9.12,9.11,8.18,8.55,all P ＜ 0.05).Voxel numbers in the left and the right superior longitudinal fasciculus were 1 094 ± 112 and 1 123 ± 113 in control group,986 ± 111 and 1 009 ± 144 in mild group,450 ± 116 and 671 ± 126 in severe group.Voxel numbers in anterior limbs of internal capsule were 947 ± 104 and 1 237 ± 184 in control group,854 ± 118 and 799 ± 114 in mild group,324 ± 110 and 311 ± 126 in severe group.Voxel numbers in posterior limbs of internal capsule were 2 047 ± 129 and 2 137 ± 238 in control group,1 843 ± 233 and 1 753 ± 247 in mild group,867 ± 118 and 999 ± 167 in severe group.Voxel numbers in superior longitudinal fasciculus,anterior and posterior limbs of internal capsule had statistical differences among the 3 groups (F =10.11,9.45,7.33,8.45,12.65,11.23,all P ＜ 0.05);Fiber numbers in the left and the right cingulate gyrus were 245 ±72 and 405 ±94 in control group,225 ±52 and 365 ± 114 in mild group,145 ±62 and 185 ±84 in severe group.Fiber numbers in inferior front-occipital fasciculus were 56 ± 19 and 212 ± 33 in control group,49 ±22 and 197 ± 33 in mild group,33 ± 12 and 156 ± 39 in severe group.Fiber numbers in posterior limbs of internal capsule were 284 ± 112 and 988 ± 233 in control group,234 ± 67 and 678 ± 234 in mild group,114 ± 67 and 188 ± 84 in severe group.Fiber numbers in cingulate gyrus,inferior front-occipital fasciculus and posterior limbs of internal capsule had statistical differences among the 3 groups (F =3.11,3.45,9.88,9.12,7.45,8.88,all P ＜ 0.05).(2) The correlation between FA value and NBNA scores was analyzed:the correlation coefficient in posterior limbs of internal capsule was 0.666 which was higher than those of the other areas.The area under the ROC curve of FA values in anterior limbs of internal capsule was 0.816 (P =0.005),used NBNA scores ≥ 35 as a good outcome.FA values (≥ 0.375) in the posterior limbs of the internal capsules predicted a good outcome and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity was 73.1％ and 77.8％,respectively.Conclusion In some ROIs,FA values,voxel numbers,and fiber numbers can quantitatively reflect the degree of white matter injury in neonates with asphyxia.Furthermore,the FA values in the posterior limbs of the internal capsules are closely correlated with NBNA scores,so it has more important clinical significance,and can accurately and objectively assess the prognosis in neonates with asphyxia.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cognitive development of newborn's cerebral hemispheres with event related potential (ERP). Methods Forty-five healthy full-term newborns and 11 infants of 29-60 days in the Department of Newborns, Changzhou Children's Hospital between December 2013 and October 2015 were randomly included in this study. They fulfilled all inclusion/exclusion criteria. An auditory oddball paradigm was used with frequently occurring standand tones at 1 000 Hz with 90% probability and infrequent deviant tones at 2 000 Hz with 10% probability. Waveforms were recorded at Fz, Cz, F3, F4, C3 and C4 scalp locations. And a comparative study of area and latency of N2 was done at F3, F4, C3 and C4 scalp locations in the two hemispheres. Results N2 wave of 1-28 days neonatal at C3, C4 scalp locations: area (ms·μV) was 5 193.68±2 137.45 vs 4 324.51±1 334.73, with statistically significant difference (t=2.288, P=0.025);latency (ms) was 764.27±216.60 vs 878.29±294.06, also with statistically significant difference (t=2.185, P=0.031). N2 wave of 1-28 days neonatal at F3,F4 scalp locations: area (ms·μV) was 5 739.44±2 271.03 vs 5 614.87±2 280.83, without statistically significant difference;latency (ms) was 876.20±316.02 vs 860.45±289.04, also without statistically significant difference. N2 wave of 29-60 days infants at F3, F4 scalp locations: area (ms·μV) was 7 681.35±1 723.49 vs 5 993.55±735.63, with statistically significant difference (t=2.848, P=0.011);latency (ms) was 571.60±1.2248 vs 733.40±232.73, without statistically significant difference though F3 was shorter than F4. Conclusions The newborn's auditory perception cognition in the left side of central lobe is superior to the right side. With the growth of the newborn, the left side of the frontal lobe is also superior to that of the right side. Dominant hemisphere has appeared in the neonatal period. Proper stimulation can promote the newborn's cognitive development.

Objective To evaluate the long-term prognosis and safety of ABO-incompatible (ABO-I) liver transplantation on type-O patients with acute severe liver disease,analyze and compare the effects and main complications between different donor blood types,and investigate corresponding treatment measures.Methods The clinical data of 65 cases of emergency orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for type-O patients with acute severe liver disease from January 2014 to January 2017,including 41 cases of ABO-compatible (ABO-C) OLT and 24 cases of ABO-incompatible OLT (7 with type-A donor,9 with type-B donor,and 8 with type-AB donor) were retrospective analyzed.Results The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score in the ABO-incompatible group was 32.5±5.5,significantly higher in the ABO-compatible group (23.3±8.9) (P=0.001).The data of the other perioperative factors showed no statistically significant difference between two groups.The cumulative survival rate in the ABO-compatible group was 87.8 % (36/41),not significantly different from that in the ABO-incompatible group [87.5% (21/24),P=0.924].The 57 cases who had survived after perioperative period were followed up for 4-37 months (mean 18 months).Significantly higher incidence of hepatic artery and biliary complications was found in ABO-incompatible group (P=0.005,and P<0.001,respectively).The incidence of hepatic artery complication and biliary complication in ABO-incompatible group was 29.2% (7/24) and 37.5% (9/24),and that in ABO-compatible group was 4.9% (2/41) and 0 (0/41),respectively.The rate of acute rejection in the ABO-incompatible group and ABO-compatible group was 9.8% (4/41) and 4.2% (1/24) (P=0.463).The infection rate in the ABO-compatible group and ABO-incompatible group was 24.3% (10/41) and 29.2%(7/24),respectively (P=0.598).Conclusion The different donor blood types including ABO-compatible and ABO-incompatible liver transplantation program on type-O patients with acute severe liver disease have a favorable outcome.The long-term cumulative survival rate between two groups shows no significant difference.With the help of effective immunosuppression and intensive perioperative management,ABO-incompatible liver transplantation is an acceptable option to cure type-O patients with acute liver failure in emergency.The incidence of hepatic artery and biliary complications was lower in ABO-compatible group than in ABO-incompatible group.For the type-O patients with ABO-incompatible liver transplantation,the use of rituximab and plasma exchange to decrease the antibody titers of recipients is essential to prevent and cure the hepatic artery and biliary complications.
