With the optimization of surgical technologies and postoperative management regimens, the number of lung transplantation has been significantly increased, which has become an important treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, due to the impact of comprehensive factors, such as bronchial ischemia and immunosuppression, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation is relatively high, which severely affects postoperative survival and quality of life of lung transplant recipients. In recent years, with the improvement of perioperative management, organ preservation and surgical technologies, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation has been declined, but it remains at a high level. Early diagnosis and timely intervention play a significant role in enhancing clinical prognosis of patients with airway stenosis. In this article, the general conditions, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of airway stenosis after lung transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for comprehensive management of airway stenosis after lung transplantation and improving clinical prognosis of lung transplant recipients.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between parenting style and emotional behavior problems in children with development dyslexia (DD), so as to provide reference for family support and intervention measures.
Methods:
From June to September 2023, 201 children in DD group and typically developing matched by age and sex were selected from the students in grades 3-6 of 4 primary schools in a district of Xinjiang by random cluster sampling method. The Childrens Version of the Parenting Style Scale and the Strength and Difficulty Scale were administered, and the occurrence of childrens emotional behavior problems and parentingstyles in the two groups were compared by Chisquare test and Wicoxon rank sum test. The correlation between parents parenting styles and childrens emotional behavior problems was analyzed by generalized linear regression.
Results:
The detection rates of emotional behavior problems were 45.77% in DD group and 15.42% in normal control children group. The differences in parenting styles between fathers and mothers of the DD group and the normal control group were statistically significant in terms of emotional warmth, parenting anxiety, and overprotection (Z=4.02, 29.03; 4.94, 26.32; 23.47, 5.30, P<0.05). Generalized linear regression analysis showed that father affective warmth was positively correlated with emotional symptoms, hyperactivity, peer interaction problems and prosocial behaviors (β=0.08, 0.05, 0.05, 0.09, P<0.05). The emotional warmth of mothers in DD group was negatively correlated with emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity and peer interaction problems (β=-0.18, -0.08, -0.07, -0.08, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Parenting style is an important factor affecting the emotional behavior problems of DD children. Improving parenting style can reduce the occurrence of emotional behavior problems of DD children.

Objective:To monitor the liver oxygen saturation (rStO 2-liv) and the intestinal oxygen saturation (rStO 2-abd) in very low birth weight infants (VLBW) using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and explore the difference between the two indicators and their clinical significance. Methods:This prospective study included newborns with a birth weight of less than 1 500 g at the Nanjing Women and Children′s Healthcare Hospital, from October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.On the 7 th day after birth, Gutcheck NEC scores were evaluated, followed by continuous NIRS measurement for 8 hours.Clinical data and NIRS measurements were collected and comparatively analyzed.The differences between groups were compared by two independent samples t-test and One-Way ANOVA. The diagnostic value of NIRS was analyzed using receiver operating haracteristic curves. Results:A total of 42 VLBW infants were enrolled in this study.There was no statistically significant difference between rStO 2-liv and rStO 2-abd ( P=0.117).According to the Gutcheck NEC score, there were 7 patients in the low-risk group, 29 in the medium-risk group, and 6 in the high-risk group.No statistically significant difference was observed in rStO 2-liv among the different risk groups ( F=2.145, P=0.131).The rStO 2-abd decreased significantly with increasing risk ( F=5.127, P=0.011).The Bland-Altman plot indicated no consistency between rStO 2-liv and rStO 2-abd ( P=0.024).The receiver operator characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for rStO 2-abd diagnosing the high-risk Gutcheck NEC score was 0.800, with a cutoff value of 41.41%, sensitivity of 85.70%, and specificity of 48.60%. Conclusions:Simultaneous measurement of rStO 2-liv and rStO 2-abd using NIRS is safe and feasible in VLBW infants, but the two measures can not be substituted for each other.Low rStO 2-abd (<41.41%) indicates a higher risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in infants.
