This article aims to improve the understanding of Lance-Adams syndrome （LAS） in clinical practice. By analyzing the clinical data of a patient diagnosed with LAS in 2021 and conducting a literature review， this article elaborates on the clinical symptoms， pathogenesis， diagnostic methods， and treatment regimens of LAS. LAS is a rare central nervous system disorder characterized by action myoclonus after cerebral hypoxia. The etiology of LAS is mainly associated with cerebral hypoxia， and cardiopulmonary resuscitation and asphyxia are the most common predisposing factors for LAS. Characteristic manifestations on electroencephalography have an important value in diagnosis. Clinicians should enhance their ability to identify LAS through typical clinical symptoms and electroencephalography in the early stage. This article also points out that there are still many challenges in the treatment of LAS， which requires further research and exploration. This article has an important reference value in improving the understanding， diagnosis， and treatment of LAS.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of ceftazidime and avibactam （CZA） monotherapy and combination therapy in the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria （CRGNB） infections， and analyze the influencing factors. METHODS The data of patients with CRGNB infection who received CZA treatment from January 2020 to March 2025 were collected retrospectively. The patients were divided into the CZA monotherapy group （52 cases） and the CZA combination therapy group （85 cases） according to treatment regimen. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared， and the drug susceptibility results of isolated strains were recorded. The multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing clinical efficacy of CRGNB patients. RESULTS The bacterial clearance rate of patients was significantly higher in the CZA combination therapy group than in the CZA monotherapy group （P＝0.012）. However， when comparing the 30-day mortality rate and the clinical response rate between the two groups， no statistically significant differences were observed （P＞0.05）. Among the isolates， carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae had the highest sensitivity to tigecycline （87.3%） and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed 90.9% sensitivity to amikacin. Five isolates were resistant to CZA. The multivariate Logistic regression showed， lung infection， receiving continuous renal replacement therapy （CRRT）， and inadequate treatment courses were significantly correlated with clinical treatment failure （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS For CRGNB infection， the clinical efficacy of CZA combination therapy is similar to that of monotherapy， but the combination therapy has a higher bacterial clearance rate. Lung infections， receiving CRRT and inadequate treatment courses （No. are independent risk factors for clinical treatment failure.

Objective To compare the benefits and drawbacks of primary patch expansion versus pericardial tube right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection in patients diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD). Methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with PA/VSD who underwent primary right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection surgery at our center between 2010 and 2020. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the type of right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection: a pericardial tube group and a patch expansion group. Clinical data and imaging findings were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 51 patients were included in the study, comprising 31 males and 20 females, with a median age of 12.57 (4.57, 49.67) months. The pericardial tube group included 19 patients with a median age of 17.17 (7.33, 49.67) months, while the patch expansion group consisted of 32 patients with a median age of 8.58 (3.57, 52.72) months. In both groups, the diameter of pulmonary artery, McGoon index, and Nakata index significantly increased after treatment (P<0.001). However, the pericardial tube group exhibited a longer extracorporeal circulation time (P<0.001). The reoperation rate was notably high, with 74.51% of patients requiring further surgical intervention, including 26 (81.25%) patients in the patch expansion group and 12 (63.16%) patients in the pericardial tube group. No statistical differences were observed in long-term cure rates or mortality between the two groups (P＞0.005). Conclusion In patients with PA/VSD, both patch expansion and pericardial tube right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection serve as effective initial palliative treatment strategies that promote pulmonary vessel development and provide a favorable foundation for subsequent radical operations. However, compared to the pericardial tube approach, the patch expansion technique is simpler to perform and preserves some intrinsic potential for pulmonary artery development, making it the preferred procedure.

ObjectiveTo explore the establishment of performance assessment indicators for the classification and grading of public health staff in district-level Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs), and to provide a basis for such evaluations. MethodsThrough literature review and group interviews, performance evaluation indicators were developed based on competency evaluation. Experts were invited to evaluate the weight of performance evaluation indicators for public health staff from different categories, with the average value used to represent the weight of each indicator. ResultsTwenty-nine experts from universities in Shanghai, municipal CDCs, and district CDCs participated, yielding an expert authority coefficient of 0.86. The performance evaluation indicators for department managers were categorized into three levels, with 4 indicators at the primary level, 16 indicators at the secondary level, and 42 indicators at the tertiary level, while those for general staff included 4 primary indicators, 15 secondary indicators, and 36 tertiary indicators. Significant differences were observed in the weight coefficients of the primary indicators (internal operations, professional work, and learning and growth) between department managers and general staff. The top three secondary indicators for department managers were department management, monitoring and prevention, and level of expertise. For mid-level and senior staff, the top three secondary indicators were monitoring and prevention, level of expertise, and research work. The top three secondary indicators for junior staff were monitoring and prevention, professional expertise, and professional attitude. No significant statistical differences were found among tertiary indicators. ConclusionThe developed performance evaluation indicators are reliable. Staff at different levels and classifications should be evaluated using different performance evaluation standards to accurately reflect individual performance and contributions.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of compatibility of Ephedrae Herba，Asari Radix et Rhizoma， and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata on the expression of type 2 innate lymphoid cells（ILC2s）-related factors in the lung of allergic rhinitis（AR）mice. MethodsAccording to the random number table method，fifty-four C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the following groups： Blank group，model group，Mahuang Fuzi Xixintang group，Asari Radix et Rhizoma and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group，Ephedrae Herba and Asari Radix et Rhizoma group，Ephedrae Herba and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group，Ephedrae Herba group，Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group， and Asari Radix et Rhizoma group （6 mice in each group）. Except the blank group，the other groups were subjected to intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin（OVA）and intranasal challenge to induce AR. After the AR model was established，the mice in the blank group and the model group were given 0.2 mL·d^-1 normal saline by gavage，while those in the Mahuang Fuzi Xixintang group（2.31 g·kg^-1），Asari Radix et Rhizoma and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group（1.54 g·kg^-1）， Ephedrae Herba and Asari Radix et Rhizoma group（1.16 g·kg^-1）， Ephedrae Herba and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group（1.93 g·kg^-1），Ephedrae Herba group（0.77 g·kg^-1），Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group（1.16 g·kg^-1），and Asari Radix et Rhizoma group（0.39 g·kg^-1）were given corresponding medicine by gavage，with the treatment lasting for 14 consecutive days. The survival state of mice in each group was observed， and the levels of serum immunoglobulins E（IgE）after intranasal challenge were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. The pathological changes of nasal and lung tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin（HE）staining. The expression of ILC2s in lung tissue of mice was detected by immunofluorescence（IF）. The mRNA expression of GATA binding protein 3（GATA3），retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-α（RORα）， and inhibitor of DNA binding 2（ID2）in the lung tissue of mice was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction（real-time PCR）. The levels of IgE，interleukin（IL）-4，IL-5， and IL-13 in serum were detected by ELISA. ResultsCompared with the blank group，the model group had poor survival state of mice and significantly increased serum IgE level after intranasal challenge（p<0.01）. Additionally，the mice in the model group showed a large amount of neutrophil infiltration in the mucosa of the posterior turbinate， obvious nasal mucosal bleeding and purulent secretion，shed epithelium， thickened bronchial wall，obvious intravascular hyperemia and edema，diffusion and infiltration of a large number of inflammatory cells，seriously damaged alveolar structure，and local lung consolidation. The model group also exhibited significantly increased expression of ILC2s in the lung tissue（P<0.01），increased mRNA expression of GATA3 and RORα，decreased mRNA expression of ID2（P<0.05，P<0.01），and increased levels of serum IgE， IL-4，IL-5，and IL-13（P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the model group，the Mahuang Fuzi Xixintang group and the other medicine treatment groups showed improved survival state of mice， significantly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration in the nasal and lung tissues，a small amount of nasal mucosal bleeding，trachea wall thinning，and no hyperemia，edema， and nasal secretions. Furthermore， the expression of ILC2s in lung tissue was significantly decreased（P<0.01）. The mRNA expression level of GATA3 was decreased（P<0.05），especially in the Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group（P<0.01）. The expression mRNA levels of RORα were decreased only in the Ephedrae Herba and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group and the Ephedrae Herba group（P<0.05）. The levels of serum IgE were decreased（P<0.05）， and IL-5 levels were significantly decreased（P<0.01）. IL-4 levels were significantly decreased in the groups except the Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group（P<0.01），and the level of IL-13 in the Mahuang Fuzi Xixintang group was decreased（P<0.05）. The levels of IL-13 in were significantly decreased in the Ephedrae Herba and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group， Ephedrae Herba group， Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata group， and Asari Radix et Rhizoma group（P<0.01）. ConclusionDifferent compatibility of Ephedrae Herba，Asari Radix et Rhizoma， and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata can reduce the inflammation of OVA-induced AR mice and has more advantages in reducing the secretion of IgE and IL-5. The compatibility of Ephedrae Herba and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata has the most advantage in reducing the mRNA expression of GATA3 and RORα to inhibit the expression of ILC2s and thus exert the anti-allergic effect，while the other compatibility has the extensive advantage in inhibiting the mRNA expression of GATA3.

Objective: To explore the relationship between the ratio of dietary vitamin A (VitA) to body weight and hypertension among children, so as to provide a reference for blood pressure control through dietary nutritional interventions and childhood hypertension prevention. Methods: Utilizing the baseline survey and followup sample data from the Healthy Children Cohort established in urban and rural areas of Chongqing from 2014 to 2019, structured quantitative dietary questionnaire and selfdesigned questionnaire were used to investigate the information of dietary intake and socioeconomic characteristics of 15 279 children, as well as blood pressure, height, weight measurement. The ratio of dietary VitA to body weight was divided into four groups based on quartiles [≤P25(Q1), >P25~P50(Q2), >P50~P75(Q3), >P75(Q4)]. Generalized linear regression models and Logistic regression models were used to analyze the correlation between ratio of dietary VitA to body weight with blood pressure levels and prevalence of hypertension. Results: The results of the 2014 baseline survey indicated that, after adjusting for confounding factors such as demographic indicators and nutritional intake, significant differences were observed in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) among different groups categorized by the ratio of dietary VitA to body weight (F=157.57, 44.71, 95.92, P<0.01). The baseline ratio of dietary VitA to body weight in children exhibited a negative correlation with DBP, SBP and MAP at baseline and in 2019[baseline: β(95%CI)=-0.65(-0.89--0.42), -0.22(-0.42--0.01), -0.36(-0.56--0.16); 2019: β(95%CI)=-0.77(-1.34--0.19), -0.62(-1.21--0.02), -0.77(-1.34--0.19), P＜0.05]. Compared to Q1 group, the risk of hypertension decreased among children in Q4 at baseline and followup in 2019 [OR(95%CI)=0.63(0.49-0.81), 0.18(0.08-0.42), P<0.01]. Conclusions The ratio of dietary VitA to body weight is significantly negatively correlated with blood pressure levels among children, and dietary VitA deficiency is an independent risk factor for hypertension among children. Measures should be taken to actively adjust childrens dietary nutrition and reduce the risk of childhood hypertension.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Shenqi Jianxin Formula （参芪健心方） in the treatment of chronic heart failure （CHF） from the perspective of pyroptosis. MethodsFifty-two rats were randomly divided into sham operation group （n=8） and modeling group （n=44）. In the modeling group， the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery was ligated to construct CHF rat model. Forty successfully-modelled rats were randomly divided into model group， Entresto group， Shenqi Jianxin Formula group， MCC950 group and the combination group （Shenqi Jianxin Formula plus MCC950）， with 8 rats in each group. In Shenqi Jianxin Formula group， 7.4 g/（kg·d） of Shenqi Jianxin Formula was given by gavage， while in Entresto group， 68 mg/（kg·d） of Entresto suspension was given by gavage； in MCC950 group， MCC950 was injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg once every other day， and in the combination group， 7.4 g/（kg·d） of Shenqi Jianxin Formula was given by gavage， and MCC950 was injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg once every other day； 10 ml/（kg·d） of saline was given by gavage in the sham operation group and the model group. After 3 weeks of continuous intervention， serum brain B-type natriuretic peptide （BNP）， creatine kinase isoenzyme MB （CK-MB）， interleukin 1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin 18 （IL-18） levels were detected by ELISA； HE staining and MASSON staining were used to observe pathological changes in rat myocardium. Except for the Entresto group， western blot technique was used to detect the expression of NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）， caspase-1， and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein possessing a caspase-recruiting domain （ASC）； RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of NLRP3 and caspase-1 mRNA. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group， HE staining of rats in the model group showed obvious myocardial injury， while MASSON staining showed increased area of collagen fibrosis， and serum BNP， CK-MB， IL-1β， IL-18， myocardial tissue NLRP3， caspase-1， ASC protein expression and NLRP3， caspase-1 mRNA expression were all elevated （P＜0.05）. Compared with those in the model group， cardiomyocyte injury of rats and collagen fibrosis area were reduced， and serum BNP， CK-MB， IL-1β， and IL-18 contents were all reduced in Shenqi Jianxin Formula group， Entresto group， MCC950 group， and the combination group； except for Entresto group， myocardial tissue NLRP3， caspase-1， ASC protein expression and NLRP3， caspase-1 mRNA expression were reduced in the remaining three medication group （P＜0.05）. Compared with Shenqi Jianxin Formula group， the MCC950 group and the combination group showed decreased serum IL-1β and IL-18 content， collagen fibrosis area， myocardial tissue NLPR3， caspase-1 protein expression， and caspase-1 mRNA expression， and decreased ASC and NLRP3 mRNA expression was shown in the combination group （P＜0.05）. Compared with MCC950 group， collagen fibrosis area was reduced， and serum IL-18 content， NLRP3， caspase-1 mRNA expression were reduced in the combination group （P＜0.05）. ConclusionShenqi Jianxin Formula can effectively improve the myocardial injury and heart failure in rats with CHF， and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of cardiomyocyte pyroptosis through NLPR3/Caspase-1 pathway to reduce the level of intramyocardial inflammation. The combined use of MCC950 with Shenqi Jianxin Formula could more effectively inhibite myocardial pyroptosis， with better therapeutic result than single use of each part.

An increasing number of studies in recent years have focused on the association between female endometrial microbiota and fertility.Once the endometrial microflora microecology is unbalanced,it will cause a series of endometrial lesions,thereby destroying endometrial receptivity,affecting embryo implantation,resulting in embryo implantation or implantation failure.Among them,the most concerned is the positive significance of lactobacillus-led microbiota on reproductive outcome.Although the relationship between endometrial microbiota and reproductive outcome has not reached a consensus,most studies recognize the positive impact of lactobacillus-led microbiota on reproductive outcome.In this review,the relationship between lactobacillus-dominated microbiota and reproductive outcome is reviewed.

Objective:To compare the awakening effects of enriched environmental quantitative stimulation and conventional rehabilitation on patients with consciousness disorder after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 60 patients with consciousness disorder after TBI admitted to Hospital of Zhejiang Provincial Armed Police Corps from October 2021 to October 2022, including 38 males and 22 females, aged 26-72 years [(41.6±13.2)years]. The injury was located at the frontal and temporal lobe in 37 patients, at the brain stem in 9, and at the thalamus in 14. The types of injury included cerebral contusion and laceration in 36 patients and intracerebral hematomas in 24 patients. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission was 5-8 points in 11 patients, 9-12 in 34, and 13-15 in 15. Disease course was (19.2±5.4)days. A total of 30 patients received conventional rehabilitation treatment (conventional rehabilitation group) and 30 patients received enriched environmental quantitative stimulation on the basis of conventional rehabilitation treatment, which lasted 4 cycles in 28 days (quantitative stimulation group). The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) score, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score, and brainwave α/δ ratio (ADR) before treatment and at the second and fourth treatment cycles were compared between the two groups. The incidence of complications at the end of the fourth treatment cycle and the rate of favorable outcome of Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-12 months [(8.3±2.5)months]. There were no significant differences in CRS-R score, ADL score, or brainwave ADR between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05). At the second treatment cycle, they were (13.03±0.73)points, (14.83±0.95)points and 0.35±0.11 respectively in the quantitative stimulation group, which were all higher than those in the conventional rehabilitation group [(11.18±0.14)points, (8.74±0.43)points and 0.29±0.09 respectively] ( P<0.05). At the fourth treatment cycle, they were (17.83±0.23)points, (52.93±10.75)points and 0.44±0.11 respectively in the quantitative stimulation group, which were all higher than those in the conventional rehabilitation group [(13.67±0.35)points, (40.56±7.15)points and 0.37±0.07 respectively] ( P<0.05). The CRS-R score, ADL score, and brainwave ADR at the second treatment cycle were significantly higher than those before treatment, and they were even higher at the fourth treatment cycle than those at the second treatment cycle ( P<0.05). At the end of the fourth treatment cycle, the incidence of complications in the quantitative stimulation group was 13.3% (4/30), which was lower than that of the conventional rehabilitation group [36.7% (11/30)] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the favorable outcome rate of GOS was 80.0% (24/30) in the quantitative stimulation group, which was superior to 66.7% (20/30) in the conventional rehabilitation group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional rehabilitation treatment, enriched environmental quantitative stimulation for patients with consciousness disorder after TBI achieves enhanced consciousness level, activity of daily life and electroencephal reactivity, together with decreased incidence of complications and improved prognosis.
