Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of applying a multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) to enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols within the nursing management of children undergoing day surgery for snoring disease.
Background: While MOST has been applied to behavioral intervention research in smoking cessation, AIDS management, and weight loss by international scholars, its application in constructing nursing intervention projects remains relatively unexplored.
Design: Using convenience sampling, randomised controlled trial.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between serum cystatin C (CysC), β-microglobulin (β-MG) and the efficacy of demethylation therapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 98 AML patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from February 2019 to January 2022. All patients were treated with decitabine (DAC) + HAG regimen, 28 days as a course and treated for 3-4 courses.

Background: For children with abdominal Henoch-Schonlein purpura presenting abdominal pain as an initial symptom and severe clinical manifestations, but without purpura appearance on the skin, the diagnosis and treatment are relatively difficult. This study summarized the characteristics of this group of patients by literature review and provided additional references for further refinement of glucocorticoid therapy in this vasculitis.
Case Summary: A 6-year-old girl presented mainly with repeated abdominal pain and had received short-term out-of-hospital treatment with hydrocortisone.
In this study, we introduce an arthroscopic technique for posterior-superior capsular fenestration and spinoglenoid cyst resection completely via a trans-rotator cuff approach. This approach can provide a full field of view and allow evaluation of the scope of the cyst under direct vision, which reduces the risk of recurrence and injury to the suprascapular neurovascular bundle.

Muscular satellite cells, playing a key role in the muscle repairing process, are gradually losing their regenerative ability with aging, which attenuates the injured muscle repairing process. Electroacupuncture at Weizhong acupoint has been widely used in the treatment of young and aged patients with back muscle damage.

Introduction: Collagen colitis (CC) is a microscopic colitis diagnosed by mucosal biopsy and is extremely rare in children.
Patient Concerns: We reported a child with severe persistent diarrhea that could not be relieved with traditional diarrheal treatment. No abnormalities were found after multiple colonoscopies.
The present study is aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of steroid withdrawal or avoidance (SWA) in high-risk kidney transplant (HRKT). We performed a systematic review of the literature and pooled analysis of the available data concerning SWA following HRKT. HRKT is associated with patients undergoing repeat kidney transplantation, in African American recipients, or in patients with panel-reactive antibody levels >20%.

Thiamine pyrophosphokinase (TPK) converts thiamine (vitamin B) into thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), an essential cofactor for many important enzymes. TPK1 mutations lead to a rare disorder: episodic encephalopathy type thiamine metabolism dysfunction. Yet, the molecular mechanism of the disease is not entirely clear.

Objective: To summarize the clinical features of Enterococcus faecium meningitis in children.
Methods: The clinical data of nine children with Enterococcus faecium meningitis were analyzed.
Results: In all the nine children, Enterococcus faecium was isolated from blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or peripherally inserted central catheters; 6 (67%) patients were neonates, 2 (22%) patients were younger than 6 months, and 1 (11%) patient was three years and four months of age.
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effects of blocking the calcium signaling pathway of astrocytes (ASs) on oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)‑induced AS injury. The association between the changes in the concentrations of AS‑derived transmitter ATP and glutamic acid, and the changes in calcium signaling under the challenge of OGD were investigated. The cortical ASs of Sprague Dawley rats were cultured to establish the OGD models of ASs.

Objectives: To investigate clinical features in infants of breast milk allergy(BMA), and the possible relationship with the changes of somatostatin (SST) and motilin (MTL) in breast milk.
Methods: Twenty three cases of pure breast feeding infants with allergic gastroenteritis were collected, while another 23 normal infants with pure breast feeding were enrolled as normal controls. Samples of infant stools and breast milk were collected for the measurement of SST and MTL levels detected by by radioimmunity.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical features of viral encephalitis in children at acute stage, and the relationship of these clinical features with post viral encephalitic epilepsy.
Methods: The children with viral encephalitis treated in West China Second University Hospital between January 2010 and January 2014 were enrolled. The clinical features included general conditions, clinical manifestations, video electroencephalogram (VEEG), neuroimaging, virology, prognosis and antiepileptic drugs.
Shenqi Fuzheng injection is extracted from the Chinese herbs Radix Astragali and Radix Codonopsis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of Shenqi Fuzheng injection in cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Aged rats (20-22 months) were divided into three groups: sham, model, and treatment.

Objective: To identify the effects of ingested anti-rotavirus immunoglobulin on enteric expressions of SIgA in pediatric rotavirus enteritis.
Methods: In this randomized, placebo controlled clinic trial, 100 patients of pediatric rotavirus enteritis who simultaneously received fluid replacement as basic therapy, were randomly divided into control and immunoglobulin treated groups. The patients in experimental group were given "ingested antirotavirus IgY".

Objective: To investigate the changes of TrkB and Ras-MAPK in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protecting the embryonic rat cerebral cortical neurons against hypoxia-induced neurotoxicity.
Methods: The immunofluorescence technique, laser scanning confocal microscope and half-quantitative analysis were done to explore the changes of the intracellular levels of tyrosine kinase B (TrkB), phosphorylated TrkB and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in rat embryonic cortical neurons cultured in different time groups of hypoxia with or without BDNF pretreatment.
Results: The fluorescent intensity of TrkB and phosphorylated TrkB in the cytoplasm and the fluorescent intensity of MAPK in both cytoplasm and cell nucleus of the neurons were significantly increased in the presence of BDNF (P < 0.
