Objective To explore the application effect of the Mini-CEX evaluation model based on the OBE concept in the clinical Practice teaching of neurology.Methods We Selected 100 students who will Practice in the Department of Neurology from 2022 to 2023 as the research objects,and divided them into the experimental group(n=50)and the control group(n=50).Under the guidance of the OBE concept,the experimental group was guided by learning outcomes,refined the teaching objectives,and applied the Mini-CEX evaluation mode for evaluation and feedback.In contrast,the control group adopted the traditional teaching mode.Combined with the observation data,we analyzed and compared the data of various indicators of the two groups of students at the beginning and end of the internship.Results At the end of the internship,the scores of clinical consultation,Physical examination,humanistic medicine,clinical diagnosis,health consultation,organizational effect,and overall evaluation of the experimental group were significantly improved and were higher than those of the control group.After the Practice,in terms of skill test scores,the experimental group scored higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),and the experimental group also scored higher in satisfaction evaluation than the control group.Conclusion The Mini-CEX evaluation teaching model based on the concept of OBE is applied to the clinical practice teaching of the neurology department,which can enhance the training effect of students'clinical practice skills.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of low back work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among workers in a container manufacturing factory, and to explore the influencing factors.Methods:In June 2022, 952 workers from a container factory were selected as the research objects by cluster random sampling. Through questionnaire survey, the incidence of low back WMSDs symptoms among workers in the past one year was collected, and the influencing factors of low back WMSDs were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:The incidence rate of low back WMSDs was 46.7% (445/952). The factors with higher exposure at work were frequent slight bending (77.0%, 733/952), frequent overtime (74.1%, 705/952), and the need to turn around while working (62.3%, 593/952). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age over 40 years old, smoking, drinking, often bending over slightly, sitting for a long time, maintaining a large bending posture for a long time, often working overtime, limited operating space, and there was always a need to complete conflicting things in the container manufacturing factory workers were the risks of increasing the low back WMSDs ( OR=1.68, 1.96, 2.47, 1.49, 1.84, 2.11, 1.90, 1.82, 2.00, P<0.05). Standing at work, always friendly colleagues, and always supportive and helpful leaders were protective factors for low back WMSDs ( OR=0.60, 0.32, 0.40, P<0.05) . Conclusion:The incidence of low back WMSDs symptoms in container manufacturing workers is high, and work-related factors such as frequent slight bending, long time holding large bending posture and limited operating space are the focus of ergonomic intervention in container manufacturing enterprises.

Clinical data of a child with high blood ammonia and suspected argininosuccinate synthetase deficiency (ASSD) in Hunan Children′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including data of mass spectra for blood amino acids and acyl carnitine, urine organic acid analysis and whole exome sequencing.After the exact diagnosis of ASSD and being approved by the Administrative Regulation for Import Medical Devices Urgently Needed in Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone of Hainan Free Trade Port, the patient was medicated with Glyceryl phenylbutyrate (GPB) and followed up.The patient was a boy aged 7 years and 8 months, who presented at the Neurology Department of Hunan Children′s Hospital for sleepiness, abnormal mental behavior and personality change for 1 week on December 2, 2021.Before GPB treatment, the highest blood ammonia, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate transaminase were 325.2 μmol/L, 465.7 IU/L and 277.3 IU/L, respectively.Genetic metabolism assay of blood and urine showed a significantly increased citrulline at 697.42 μmol/L; urine organic acid analysis showed increased urinary orotic acid at 144.2 μmol/L, and increased uracil at 65.1 μmol/L.A pure heterozygous variant of the ASS1 gene (c.1087C>T, p.R363W) was detected.After GPB treatment, the blood ammonia levels were 21.3 μmol/L, 54.6 μmol/L and 62.4 μmol/L on the 41 st, 90 th and 146 th days, respectively.Until July 20, 2022 follow-up visit, the patient recovered well without adverse events.This was the first ASSD child in China who was treated with GPB.This case report provided therapeutic experience of ASSD in our country.ASSD has a high mortality rate and unexplained abnormal mental behavior.It is necessary to timely measure blood ammonia, and a series of urea cycle disorders should be well concerned.The diagnosis and management of ASSD rely on the data of metabolism examination and genetic testing.

Objective: To understand the real experience and feelings of self injurious cutting in adolescents with depression, to provide guidance for clinical targeted interventions. Methods: During November 2021 to May 2022, 19 adolescent patients with depression who had cut themselves as the type of non suicidal self injury were recruited from a tertiary first class psychiatric hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. All the participants were interviewed in a semi structured manner, which used the interpretative phenomenological analysis to analyze the transcription data. Results: The experience and feelings of non suicidal self injury in adolescent with depression could be summarized into five themes: self injury thoughts that arise under external interference; self injurious behavior in a thousand thoughts; painful but a happy experience of self injury; cutting as the most frequently selected form of non suicidal self injury; decreases in self injurious behavior reduced when they feel love and responsibility. Conclusion Non suicidal self injury of adolescent patients with depression are affected by various factors. Clinicians should provide targeted clinical care according to the characteristics of patients, as well as the no suicide contract, alternative skills of non suicidal self injury behaviors, and a multi dimensional social support platform with the families of patients.

The bacterial ATP-competitive GyrB/ParE subunits of type II topoisomerase are important anti-bacterial targets to treat super drug-resistant bacterial infections. Herein we discovered novel pyrrolamide-type GyrB/ParE inhibitors based on the structural modifications of the candidate AZD5099 that was withdrawn from the clinical trials due to safety liabilities such as mitochondrial toxicity. The hydroxyisopropyl pyridazine compound 28 had a significant inhibitory effect on Gyrase (GyrB, IC₅₀ = 49 nmol/L) and a modest inhibitory effect on Topo IV (ParE, IC₅₀ = 1.513 μmol/L) of Staphylococcus aureus. It also had significant antibacterial activities on susceptible and resistant Gram-positive bacteria with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of less than 0.03 μg/mL, which showed a time-dependent bactericidal effect and low frequencies of spontaneous resistance against S. aureus. Compound 28 had better protective effects than the positive control drugs such as DS-2969 ( 5) and AZD5099 ( 6) in mouse models of sepsis induced by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. It also showed better bactericidal activities than clinically used vancomycin in the mouse thigh MRSA infection models. Moreover, compound 28 has much lower mitochondrial toxicity than AZD5099 ( 6) as well as excellent therapeutic indexes and pharmacokinetic properties. At present, compound 28 has been evaluated as a pre-clinical drug candidate for the treatment of drug-resistant Gram-positive bacterial infection. On the other hand, compound 28 also has good inhibitory activities against stubborn Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli (MIC = 1 μg/mL), which is comparable with the most potent pyrrolamide-type GyrB/ParE inhibitors reported recently. In addition, the structure-activity relationships of the compounds were also studied.

Objective:To investigate the types, incidences, and clinical characteristics of shock in polytrauma patients at different stages after polytrauma.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on polytrauma patients admitted to multiple trauma centers from June 2020 to December 2021. The inclusion criteria were patients >18 years old and treated due to polytrauma. Exclusion criteria included an admission time of more than 48 h after trauma, a history of malignancy, or metabolic, consumptive, and immunological diseases. The early stage was defined as the period of ≤48 h after polytrauma, and the middle stage was defined as the period between 48 h and 14 days. The patient’s medical history, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, imaging examination, injury severity score (ISS), and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) were collected. The types, incidences, and clinical characteristics of shock in different stages after polytrauma were analyzed, according to the diagnostic criteria of each type of shock. The differences between the groups were compared by Student’s t test, χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The incidence of the early and middle stage shock after polytrauma were 73.1% and 36.4%, respectively, with statistically significant difference between stages ( P<0.01). There were significant differences in the incidence of hypovolemic shock (83.6% vs. 28.4%), distributed shock (13.7% vs. 80.9%) and cardiogenic shock (3.5% vs. 6.6%) between stages (all P<0.05). The incidence of obstructive shock (8.4% vs. 9.7%, P>0.05) was similar between stages. The incidence of undifferentiated shock was 1.6% and 1.2%, respectively. There were 9.5% patients with multifactorial shock in the early stage and 14.4% in the middle stage. Totally 7 combinations of multifactorial shock were found in different stages after polytrauma. In the early stage, the combination of HS and DS accounted the highest ratio (42.3%) and followed by HS and OS for 28.8%. In the middle stage, the combination of HS and DS was the most common (48.6%) and followed by DS and OS (24.3%). Conclusions:The incidence of shock in polytrauma patients is high. Different types of shock can occur simultaneously or sequentially. Therefore a comprehensive resuscitation strategy is significant to improve the success rate of treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical phenotype and genetic variants of a child suspected for mitochondrial F-S disease. METHODS: A child with mitochondrial F-S disease who visited Department of Neurology, Hunan Provincial children's Hospital on November 5, 2020 was selected as research subject of this study. Clinical data of the child was collected. The child was subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES). Bioinformatics tools were used to analyze the pathogenic variants. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing of the child and her parents. RESULTS: WES revealed that the child has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the FDXR gene, namely c.310C>T (p.R104C) and c.235C>T (p.R79C), which were inherited from her father and mother, respectively. Neither variant has been reported in HGMD, PubMed, 1000 Genomes, and dbSNP databases. Both of the variants have been suggested as deleterious according to the prediction results from different bioinformatics analysis software. CONCLUSION Mitochondrial diseases should be suspected for patients with multiple system involvement. The compound heterozygous variants of the FDXR gene probably underlay the disease in this child. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of FDXR gene mutations underlying mitochondrial F-S disease. WES can facilitate the diagnosis of mitochondrial F-S disease at the molecular level.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of facial onset sensory motor neuronopathy (FOSMN) syndrome.Methods:Ten patients diagnosed with FOSMN syndrome in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2012 to December 2022 were included. The clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of patients were analyzed and summarized, and the genetic testing was also performed in these patients.Results:The age of onset was (56.6±6.5) years, and the longest survival duration of disease was 10 years. All patients had numbness around the face and mouth as the first symptom and abnormal blink reflex. A total of 52 sensory nerve conduction nerves were detected, among which 2 median nerves and 2 μlnar nerves showed decreased amplitude of sensory nerve action potential. Needle electromyography showed neurogenic lesions, with both progressive and chronic denervation. Whole exome sequencing identified the heterozygous variant c.272A>C in the exon 4 of the SOD1 gene resulting in the amino acid change p.Asp90Ala in 1 patient. In all patients, the disease progressed relentlessly and eventually led to involvement of respiratory muscle. Conclusion:FOSMN syndrome is characterized by abnormal blink reflex and sometimes abnormal sensory nerve conduction may be shown on electrophysiologic testing.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, treatments and prognoses of children with antibody-mediated central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune diseases.Methods:Two hundred and seven children with antibody-mediated CNS autoimmune diseases confirmed by anti-neuronal antibody detection in blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid in Department of Neurology, Children's Hospital of Hunan Province from June 2014 to May 2022 were enrolled. Their clinical features, laboratory and imaging data, treatment regimens and prognoses were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Of the 207 children, 117 were positive for anti- N-methyl- D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibodies, 63 for anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies, 32 for anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibodies, 6 for anti-contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CNTNAP2) antibodies, 3 for anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies, 2 for anti-gamma-aminobutyric acid type B receptor (GABABR) antibodies, and 1 for anti-anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibodies. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) was the most common clinical phenotype among the children, followed by optic neuritis (ON). Behavioral abnormalities, seizures, and involuntary movements were the most common clinical presentations of anti-NMDAR encephalitis for these children, while fever, headache, and disturbance of consciousness or vision were the most common symptoms for children with MOG antibody disease or autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy. The coexistence of multiple anti-neural antibodies was detected in 17 patients, among which 10 had coexistent anti-NMDAR and anti-MOG antibodies (including 1 with anti-GFAP antibody), 3 had coexistent anti-NMDAR and anti-GFAP antibodies, 3 had coexistent anti-MOG and anti-GFAP antibodies, 2 had coexistent anti-NMDAR and anti-CASPR2 antibodies, and 1 had coexistent anti-GABABR and anti-CASPR2 antibodies. In our cohort, of the 202 children examined for cerebrospinal fluid, 154 had cerebrospinal fluid leukocytosis and 27 had elevated protein. Of the 203 children had electroencephalography, 179 was abnormal; abnormal EEG was mainly manifested as focal or global slow waves, and epileptic discharge in some children; 205 patients received immunotherapy. All survivors were followed up for at least 6 months; 164 recovered completely, 40 had varied sequelae, and 3 died; 28 had one or more relapses. Conclusion:Antibody-mediated CNS autoimmune diseases occur in children at all ages; most such pediatric patients have good response to immunotherapy, enjoying low mortality rate; however, some survivors have relapsing risk.
