Aim: This study explores the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) in treating cerebral palsy (CP) in Sprague-Dawley (SD) pups, specifically CP animal models, and its molecular mechanisms.
Methods: Gait analysis and Y-maze were used to detect the improvement of motor ability and cognitive function of CP rats after EA treatment. Transcription sequencing was used to determine the key pathway for EA to improve the symptoms of CP.
Due to the higher birth rate of preterm infants and improvements in their management, metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP) has a high incidence and is attracting attention. However, clear indicators for the early diagnosis of MBDP are lacking. We aimed to explore simple and feasible early warning indicators for diagnosing MBDP.

Methods: A total of 76 infants aged 3 months to 2.5 years old were included in the study.
Objective: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a ubiquitous enzyme in humans that can be used for diagnosing childhood diseases. Infants have the highest rapid growth rate and are susceptible to metabolic bone diseases. In infants, ALP activities exhibit significant month-wise variations, and authoritative standards are lacking.

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a genetic syndrome with severe neurodevelopmental disorders as the main manifestation. Its clinical manifestations included mental retardation, typical facial features, intrauterine and postnatal developmental delay, and deformity in multiple organs and systems, with an incidence rate of about 1/10000 to 1/30000. International CdLS Consensus Group was established in 2017 and issued the first international consensus on CdLS, i.

- The study aimed to assess the impact of functional chewing training (FuCT) on chewing ability, tongue thrust severity, and drooling in children with cerebral palsy.
- A total of 48 children with oral motor dysfunction were randomly assigned to either FuCT or oral motor training groups for 12 weeks, with evaluations performed post-training.
- Results showed that the FuCT group experienced significant improvements in masticatory function, tongue thrust severity, and drooling compared to the oral motor training group, proving FuCT to be beneficial for these outcomes.
Objective: Probiotics may be efficacious in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The aim of this network meta-analysis (NMA) was to clarify the efficacy of different types of probiotics for preventing VAP.
Methods: This systematic review and NMA was conducted according to the updated preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis.
