Clinical and fundus imaging features of acute macular neuroretinopathy associated with COVID-19 / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective:To observe the clinical and fundus imaging features of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) associated with COVID-19.Methods:A retrospective case study. A total of 32 eyes of 18 patients diagnosed of AMN associated with COVID-19 at Chengdu Aidi Eye Hospital from December 2022 to February 2023 were included. All patients had a history of fever 1 to 5 days prior to ocular onset and tested positive for SARS CoV-2 antigen. All patients were examined by best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), color fundus photography, scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO), infrared fundus photography (IR), and optical coherence tomography (OCT); OCT angiography, visual field and multifocal electroretinogram (mf-ERG) were performed in 6 patients (11 eyes), 3 patients (6 eyes) and 1 patient (2 eyes), respectively. Follow-up time was 8-10 weeks. The clinical and fundus imaging features were observed and analyzed.Results:There were 6 males (12 eyes) and 12 females (20 eyes), aged from 15 to 36 years, with the mean age of (28.00±5.86) years. Fourteen patients were bilateral and 4 patients were unilateral. The time from the onset of eye symptoms to seeing a doctor was ranged from 1 day to 8 weeks. Among them, 6 patients (10 eyes) visited the doctor within 3 days of onset, while 12 patients (22 eyes) visited the doctor after 3 days of onset. The BCVA was 0.80±0.29. Fundus color photography and SLO examination showed that only 2 patients (4 eyes) showed sheet or petal-like dark red lesions in the macular area, and no obvious abnormal changes were observed in other patients. No obvious abnormalities were found in AF examination of all patients. IR examination showed no significant abnormality in 6 cases which came to hospital within 3 days after the onset, but irregular hyporeflective dark shadow lesions in the macular region of patients with more than 3-day course of disease was observed. OCT examinations of all eyes showed hyperreflective band or patchy lesion on the outer plexiform layer (OPL) and outer nuclear layer (ONL) and affect the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and interdigitation zone (IZ). In 11 eyes of 6 patients undergoing OCTA examination, the blood flow density of the choroidal capillary layer in the focal area decreased. In 6 eyes of 3 patients who underwent visual field examination, the physiologic scotoma was slightly enlarged. One patient (2 eyes) receiving mf-ERG showed a concave reduction in macular center amplitude. The hyperreflective band lesion on OPL and ONL disappear rapidly within 2 weeks, while the continuity of EZ recovered slowly, and the disruption of IZ kept existing for more than 10 weeks.Conclusions:Most AMN associated with COVID-19 are young women; IR showed irregular weak reflex in the lesion area. OCT showed strong OPL and ONL reflection. OCTA was characterized by decreased blood flow density in the choroidal capillary layer of the focal area.

Secular trends of age at menarche and age at menopause in women born since 1951 from a county of Shandong Province, China / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To describe the secular trends of age at menarche and age at natural menopause of women from a county of Shandong Province.@*METHODS@#Based on the data of the Premarital Medical Examination and the Cervical Cancer and Breast Cancer Screening of the county, the secular trends of age at menarche in women born in 1951 to 1998 and age at menopause in women born in 1951 to 1975 were studied. Joinpoint regression was used to identify potential inflection points regarding the trend of age at menarche. Average hazard ratios (AHR) of early menopause among women born in different generations were estimated by performing multivariate weighted Cox regression.@*RESULTS@#The average age at menarche was (16.43±1.89) years for women born in 1951 and (13.99±1.22) years for women born in 1998. The average age at menarche was lower for urban women than that for rural women, and the higher the education level, the lower the average age at menarche. Joinpoint regression analysis identified three inflection points: 1959, 1973 and 1993. The average age at menarche decreased annually by 0.03 (P < 0.001), 0.08 (P < 0.001), and 0.03 (P < 0.001) years respectively for women born during 1951-1959, 1960-1973, and 1974-1993, while it remained stable for those born during 1994-1998 (P=0.968). As for age at menopause, compared with women born during 1951-1960, those born during 1961-1965, 1966-1970 and 1971-1975 showed a gradual decrease in the risk of early menopause and a tendency to delay the age at menopause. The stratified analysis presented that the risk of early menopause gradually decreased and the age of menopause showed a significant delay among those with education level of junior high school and below, but this trend was not obvious among those with education level of senior high school and above, where the risk of early menopause decreased and then increased among those with education level of college and above, and the corresponding AHRs were 0.90 (0.66-1.22), 1.07 (0.79-1.44) and 1.14 (0.79-1.66).@*CONCLUSION@#The age at menarche for women born since 1951 gradually declined until 1994 and leveled off, with a decrease of nearly 2.5 years in these years. The age at menopause for women born between 1951 and 1975 was generally delayed over time, but the trend of first increase and then decrease was observed among those with relatively higher education levels. In the context of the increasing delay in age at marriage and childbearing and the decline of fertility, this study highlights the necessity of the assessment and monitoring of women' s basic reproductive health status, especially the risk of early menopause.

Progress in research of risk prediction of non-syndromic oral clefts using genetic information / 中华流行病学杂志

Non-syndromic oral cleft (NSOC), a common birth defect, remains to be a critical public health problem in China. In the context of adjustment of childbearing policy for two times in China and the increase of pregnancy at older childbearing age, NSOC risk prediction will provide evidence for high-risk population identification and prenatal counseling. Genome-wide association study and second generation sequencing have identified multiple loci associated with NSOC, facilitating the development of genetic risk prediction of NSOC. Despite the marked progress, risk prediction models of NSOC still faces multiple challenges. This paper summarizes the recent progress in research of NSOC risk prediction models based on the results of extensive literature retrieval to provide some insights for the model development regarding research design, variable selection, model-build strategy and evaluation methods.

Analysis of neuropsychological development characteristics and influencing factors in children with speech sound disorder / 中华预防医学杂志

Objective: Exploring the neuropsychological developmental characteristics and influencing factors of children with speech disorder. Methods: A case-control study was conducted. A total of 395 children diagnosed with speech disorders were selected as speech sound disorder (SSD) group from January 2019 to September 2021 in the speech-speech outpatient department of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics, and 1 179 healthy children who underwent physical examination in the health department during the same period were selected as the control group. All the children were examined by the "Children's Neuropsychological Behavior Scale 2016 Edition" (Children's Mind Scale 2016 edition). Independent sample t test was used to compare the developmental levels of the two groups of children, including total developmental quotient, gross motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language and social behavior ability. The influential factors of children's speech disorders were analyzed by univariate Chi-square analysis and multivariate logistic regression. Results: There were 395 SSD children, including 296 males and 99 females, 4≤ age ≤6, (4.71±0.76) years. There were 1 179 children in the control group, including 864 males and 315 females, 4≤ age ≤6, (4.64±0.78) years. The mean value of total developmental factors in SSD group was lower than that in control group [(86.45±11.57)/(91.24±8.0), t=-7.78, P<0.01], and the mean values of total developmental markers in both boys and girls in SSD group were lower than those in control group [(86.00±11.40)/(90.78±7.86), t=-6.70, P<0.01; (87.82±12.03)/(92.87±8.49), t=-3.88, P<0.01]. The mean values of gross motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language ability and social behavior in SSD group were lower than those in control group [(89.76±12.47)/(92.01±10.69), t=-3.21, P<0.01; (80.62±13.64)/(84.49±11.55), t=-5.06, P<0.01; (87.92±15.25)/(92.98±12.06), t=-6.00, P<0.01; (86.48±16.30)/(94.55±12.08), t=-9.04, P<0.01; (87.02±15.18)/(92.63±12.57), t=-6.62, P<0.01]; The mean value of fine motor in boys was lower than that in girls in SSD group [(79.80±13.42)/(83.08±14.05), t=-2.08, P<0.05]. Independent mealtimes. 2 years old (OR=1.527, 95%CI: 1.180-1.977, P=0.001), delay in adding supplemental food (OR=1.510, 95%CI: 1.123-2.029, P=0.006), dialect in the home language environment (OR=1.351, 95%CI: 1.060-1.723, P=0.015) were risk factors for children with speech disorders. Conclusion: Children with speech disorders are more common in boys. The overall development level of SSD children is lower than that of normal children, and the fine motor of SSD boys is lower than that of girls. The incidence of children's speech disorders is related to the addition time of supplementary food, independent meal time and family language environment.

Reproducible Abnormalities and Diagnostic Generalizability of White Matter in Alzheimer's Disease / 神经科学通报·英文版

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with the impairment of white matter (WM) tracts. The current study aimed to verify the utility of WM as the neuroimaging marker of AD with multisite diffusion tensor imaging datasets [321 patients with AD, 265 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), 279 normal controls (NC)], a unified pipeline, and independent site cross-validation. Automated fiber quantification was used to extract diffusion profiles along tracts. Random-effects meta-analyses showed a reproducible degeneration pattern in which fractional anisotropy significantly decreased in the AD and MCI groups compared with NC. Machine learning models using tract-based features showed good generalizability among independent site cross-validation. The diffusion metrics of the altered regions and the AD probability predicted by the models were highly correlated with cognitive ability in the AD and MCI groups. We highlighted the reproducibility and generalizability of the degeneration pattern of WM tracts in AD.

Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of embedding the stump of gastroduodenal artery between the left lateral lobe of the liver and the left caudate lobe to prevent bleeding after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Methods: The clinical data of 41 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy at the second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from October 2021 to April 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 27 males and 14 females, aged (63.0±9.2)years (range: 48 to 78 years), and the body mass index was (24.1±3.2)kg/m2 (range: 15.4 to 31.6 kg/m2). After routine laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, the stump of gastroduodenal artery was embedded between the left lateral lobe and the left caudate lobe of the liver, and the hepatic parenchyma of the left lateral lobe and the left caudate lobe were sutured with absorbable sutures.The occurrence and recovery of postoperative complications (pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, postoperative abdominal bleeding, abdominal infection, liver abscess) were observed. Results: All the operations of 41 patients were completed successfully.The operation time was (277.5±52.0) minutes (range: 192 to 360 minutes). The entrapment time of gastroduodenal artery stump was (3.1±0.6) minutes (range: 2.3 to 4.2 minutes), and the intraoperative blood loss (M(IQR)) was 300 (200) ml (range: 50 to 800 ml).The results of ultrasound examination of hepatic artery on the first day after operation showed that the blood flows of hepatic artery were unobstructed.Postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred in 3 cases, including grade B pancreatic fistula in 2 cases (1 case with abdominal infection) and biochemical leakage in 1 case. Three patients with pancreatic fistula were discharged successfully after continuous abdominal drainage. There was no biliary fistula, abdominal bleeding, abdominal infection, liver abscess or postoperative liver dysfunction. Conclusion: The encasement of the gastroduodenal artery stump by the left outer and left caudate lobes of the liver may be an effective way to prevent bleeding from the rupture of the gastroduodenal artery stump after laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy, which is easy and safe to perform.

Effects of screen exposure on language skills in children / 中华儿科杂志

Objective: To investigate the association between screen exposure and language skills in children aged 2-5 years. Methods: There were 299 children aged 2-5 years, recruited by convenience sampling from those who visited the Center of Children's Healthcare, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics for routine physical examination from November 2020 to November 2021. Their development status were evaluated by the children neuropsychological and behavioral scale (revision 2016). A self-designed questionnaire for parents was conducted to collect demographic and socioeconomic information and screen exposure characteristics (time and quality). One-way ANOVA and independent sample t test were applied to compare the differences in language development quotient of children with different screen exposure time and quality. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between screen exposure time and quality with language developmental quotient. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk of language underdevelopment in children with different screen exposure time and quality. Results: Among 299 children, 184 (61.5%) were boys and 115 (38.5%) were girls, with the age of (3.9±1.1) years. The number of children with daily screen time <60, 60-120 and>120 min was 163 children (54.5%), 86 children (28.8%) and 50 children (16.7%), respectively, with the language development quotients of 94±13, 90±13, 84±14, respectively, demonstrating a statistically significant difference (F=8.92, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that screen exposure time of 60-120 and >120 min per day were both risk factors for children's language developmental quotients (OR=2.28, 95%CI 1.00-5.17, P=0.043; OR=3.96, 95%CI 1.86-9.17, P<0.001), and co-viewing and exposure to educational programs were both protective factors for children's language developmental quotients (OR=0.48, 95%CI 0.25-0.91, P=0.024, OR=0.36, 95%CI 0.19-0.70, P=0.003). Conclusions: Excessive exposure screen time and inappropriate screen exposure habits are associated with children's poorer language development. Screen exposure time should be limited and screen use should be rational to promote children's language skills.

Factors influencing pulmonary function in persons with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective:To explore the factors influencing the pulmonary function of persons with mild to moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).Methods:Forty-four persons with AIS were tested for their pulmonary ventilation functioning. The indicators were the percentage of forced vital capacity (FVC%), the percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1%) and the percentage of maximum chase volume (MVV%). Data including age, gender, course of disease, dancing habits, exercise habits, body mass index (BMI), Cobb angle, rotation angle, diaphragm thickness, and diaphragm excursion (DE) were also collected. Linear regressions were evaluated to analyze the factors best predicting pulmonary functioning. Spearman correlation coefficients were computed to quantify the correlation between respiratory muscle functioning and pulmonary functioning.Results:The univariate analysis showed that dancing and DE independently influence FVC%, FEV1%, and MVV%. DE was the only independent factor significantly predicting pulmonary functioning for mild to moderate AIS patients. DE was also significantly positively correlated with average FVC%, FEV1% and MVV%.Conclusions:Respiratory training aimed at enhancing DE is necessary to improve the pulmonary ventilation of persons with AIS.

Clinicopathological features of congenital hemangioma: a study of 40 cases / 中华病理学杂志

Objective: To investigate the clinical and pathologic features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of congenital hemangioma (CH). Methods: Forty cases of CH were diagnosed from January 2017 to December 2020 in Henan Provincial People's Hospital. The clinical and pathological and immunohistochemical data were analyzed, with review of literature. Results: There were 24 male and 16 female patients. The lesions were located in the head, neck (11 cases), limbs (14 cases), and trunk (15 cases). The clinical manifestations were congenital painless plaques or masses, the larger ones protruded on the skin surface, mostly dusky purple or bright red, with surrounding white halos. Under low magnification, the tumor was lobular and well demarcated, composed of neo-microvascular lumen of different sizes. The vascular endothelial cells were cuboidal or hobnail in appearance, forming stellar drainage vessels within the lobules. Extra-medullary hematopoiesis was seen in one case of rapidly involuting CH; there were different number of tortuous and dilated vascular lumen between the lobular structures, and some non-involuting CH cases were vascular malformations, which were devoid of lobulated structures. Immunohistochemistry showed that endothelial cells were strongly positive for CD31, CD34 and ERG, while D2-40 and GLUT-1 were negative. Conclusions: CH is a benign congenital vascular tumor with characteristic lobulated growth and abnormal blood vessels in the stroma. Pathological diagnosis often needs to be differentiated from infantile hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and vascular malformation.

According to the AO/OTA fracture classification, 44B type in 4 cases, 44C type in 22 cases. According to the Lauge-Hansen classification, there were 16 cases of pronation-abduction, 10 cases of pronation-external rotation, including 4 cases of Maisonneuve fractures, and of the 4 cases of Maisonneuve fractures, there were 3 cases of double Maisonneuve fracture. The talar dislocation was anterior, neutral, and posterior within the distal tibiofibular joint in 10 cases, 7 cases, and 9 cases. Fibular fractures in 26 cases, medial malleolar fractures in 24 cases, deltoid ligament rupture in 2 cases, posterior malleolar fractures in 13 cases, and anterior malleolar fractures in 8 cases. All closed injuries were closed reduction and plaster fixation and all open injuries were emergently debridement and reduced under the tibial plafond in the emergency department. Surgical treatment was taken until the soft tissue conditions to be allowed. The reduction quality was assessed by postoperative radiography according to the criteria proposed by Burwell-Charnley. The function of the ankle joint was assessed by the ankle-hindfoot rating system of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), and the posttraumatic arthritis and objectively quantified was assessed using the Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale.Results:There were 4 cases were unreduced due to the tibial posterior tendon to flip through the ankle joint and dislocate anterior to the tibia through the interosseous membrane. Stabilization of fibular fractures were achieved with plate in 25 cases. There were 24 cases of medial malleolar fractures, and the fixation were achieved with cannulated screws in 23 cases and with K-wire fixation in 1 case. There were 12 cases of posterior malleolar fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation including cannulated screws in 9 cases and antiglide plates in 3 cases. There were 7 cases of anterior malleolar fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation including suture anchors in 1 case and cannulated screws in 6 cases. Stabilization of syndesmosis was achieved with syndesmotic screws in 14 cases and with TightRope in 2 cases. All patients were followed up for 20.23±9.70 months (range, 12-60 months). According to the Burwell-Charnley criteria of reduction quality, anatomic reduction was obtained in 22 cases, and satisfactory reduction was gained in 4 cases. All fractures healed in 16.31±3.64 weeks (range, 10-24 weeks). Functional examination of the ankle joint (angle measurement method): dorsiflexion average angle 10.38°±6.66°, plantarflexion average angle 34.04°±7.20°. At latest follow up, the AOFAS score was 83.30±13.94 (range, 24-100). Ten (38%) of 26 patients had radiographic evidence of posttraumatic ankle arthritis. According to the Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale criteria, there were grade I in 5 cases, II in 2 cases, III in 2 cases, and IV in 1 case. 2 cases of wound dishence were recovered through changing dressing and 2 cases of skin necrosis were recovered by skin graft and flap transposition respectively. There were no significant complications such as infection, nonunion, or implant failure.Conclusion:The transsyndesmotic ankle fracture dislocation, represents an exceptional pattern of high-energy fractures with significant syndesmotic disruption, and potential soft tissue compromise. Careful attention to radiographic findings can identify unique fracture characteristics relative to operative decision-making. Tibialis posterior tendon dislocation, a rare complication in the transsyndesmotic ankle fracture dislocation injuries, can impede anatomical reduction of the ankle mortise. The open reduction and internal fixation may be an optimal approach to treat transsyndesmotic ankle fracture dislocation injuries. However, the rate of posttraumatic arthritis is relatively high.
