Objective To investigate the impaired characteristics of working memory in Parkinson's disease patients with depression and the recovery status of working memory after antidepressant treatment.methods Totally 60 cases were enrolled in this study and divided into three groups:30 Parkinson's disease patients with depression (PD-D),15 Parkinson's disease patients without depression (PD) and 15 persons without Parkinson's disease as normal controls.All subjects were evaluated with Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-R) audio-visual span,Tower of Hanoi (TOH) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST).30 PD-D patients were randomly divided into two subgroups:routine treatment subgroup (8 weeks levodopa therapy) and antidepressant combined treatment subgroup (8 weeks levodopa + citalopram therapy).The evaluation of Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),WMS-R audio-visual span,TOH and WCST were performed on these two groups before and after treatment.Result s① There were significant differences comparing PD-D and PD groups with the normal control group in scores of WMS-R,TOH and WCST indicators (P<0.05).There were significant differences in WMS-R visual span,accuracy rate and speed of TOH,as well as the percent errors and percent perseverative responses of WCST comparing PD-D group(11.88±5.91,0.420±0.345,0.408±0.334,0.882±0.253,0.565±0.229) with PD group (15.87±5.21,0.768±0.167,0.634±0.232,0.493±0.161,0.327±0.122) (P<0.05).② Before and after treatment in PD-D routine treatment subgroup,there were significant differences in digital memory and audio-visual memory of WMS-R((6.73±3.72,5.95±3.13) vs (3.77±2.16,1.91±1.58)),accuracy rate of TOH(0.45±0.26 vs 0.23±0.13),as well as percent errors((-0.58±0.17) vs (-0.37±0.14)),percent perseverative responses((-0.32±0.15) vs (-0.14±0.09)),percent conceptual level responses(0.38±0.09 vs 0.13±0.07) and number of categories completed(3.27±1.56 vs 1.06±0.91) of WCST(P<0.05).③ After 4-week treatment and 8-week treatment,there were significant differences in HAMD score comparing PD-D antidepressant combined treatment group(16.33±2.72,10.27±2.66) with PD-D routine treatment group(21.73±2.28,18.4±2.47) (P<0.05).Conclusion Comparing Parkinson's disease patients without depression,the impaired working memory is more serious and extensive in Parkinson's disease patients with depression.Antidepressant treatment can improve the working memory of Parkinson's disease patients with depression.

Objective To identify mutations in the OSMR gene in a pedigree with familial primary cutaneous amyloidosis (FPCA).Methods Clinical data were collected from a pedigree with FPCA.Peripheral blood samples were obtained from the proband,his 19 relatives,and 50 unrelated healthy human controls.Genomic DNA was extracted from these blood samples,and subjected to PCR for the amplification of 18 encoding exons and their flanking sequences of the OSMR gene followed by DNA sequencing.Results A heterozygous missense mutation c.2081C ＞ T,which leads to the substitution of proline by threonine at position 694,was detected in the OSMR gene of the proband and his affected relatives,but not in unaffected relatives or healthy controls.Conclusion The heterozygous mutation p.P694L in the OSMR gene may cause the clinical phenotype of FPCA in this family.

Objective: To explore the evaluations and recipient selection methods of extended criteria donor (ECD) kidney donation in the death of citizens and analyze the transplantation outcomes. Methods: From January to September 2019, the clinical data of donor-recipients were retrospectively studied. The recipients of ECD donor kidneys not evaluated for kidney zero puncture assessment from January 2014 to July 2016 were group A1 and those receiving standard donor kidney (SCD) belonged to group A2. From August 2016 to March 2019, all DCD donors were routinely evaluated for kidney zero puncture and those receiving ECD recipients fell into Group B1 and those receiving SCD belonged to Group B2. Analysis was performed for ECD/SCD donor renal zero puncture pathological features and lesion degree and utilization of ECD donor kidney; donor-recipient body surface area (BSA) ratio and lesion degree of ECD donor kidney on recipient selecting and matching. Serum creatinine value, perioperative adverse events and 1-year follow-up of human/kidney survival rate in each group were compared at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. Results: A total of 108, 264, 306 and 416 recipients were recruited into A1, A2, B1 and B2 groups respectively. The ECD donor renal utilization rate was 88.5% vs 93.3% during two time periods. According to the 2016 Banff standard, glomerular sclerosis (GS), renal interstitial fibrosis (Ci) and intimal fibrosis thickening (Cv), small arterial intimal hyalinization (ah), tubular atrophy (ct) and acute tubular injury (ati) accounted for more than B1 group than B2 group (P<0.05). The severity of ECD donor kidney disease, BSA ratio <1.1 group and ≥1.1 group 1 week, 1 month, 3 months postoperative blood creatinine value was lower than the former while declining amplitude of blood creatinine was higher. A significant difference existed in the degree of moderate lesions in donor kidney (P<0.05). After 1 year, serum creatinine value of B1 group was lower than that of A1 group (P<0.05). Conclusions The quality of ECD donor kidney is obviously inferior to that of SCD donor kidney. The Banff donor kidney criterion is an effective mode of evaluating the quality of ECD donor kidney. Based upon the extent of Banff's nephropathy, the ratio of donor/recipient BSA is an important selecting method for ECD donors to receive kidneys and recipients, ultimately improving graft utilization and recipient transplantation.

Background::Growth retardation is a common complication of chronic kidney disease in children, which can be partially relieved after renal transplantation. This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for growth patterns of children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) after kidney transplantation using machine learning algorithms based on genomic and clinical variables.Methods::A retrospective cohort of 110 children who received kidney transplants between May 2013 and September 2021 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were recruited for whole-exome sequencing (WES), and another 39 children who underwent transplant from October 2021 to March 2022 were enrolled for external validation. Based on previous studies, we comprehensively collected 729 height-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exon regions. Seven machine learning algorithms and 10-fold cross-validation analysis were employed for model construction.Results::The 110 children were divided into two groups according to change in height-for-age Z-score. After univariate analysis, age and 19 SNPs were incorporated into the model and validated. The random forest model showed the best prediction efficacy with an accuracy of 0.8125 and an area under curve (AUC) of 0.924, and also performed well in the external validation cohort (accuracy, 0.7949; AUC, 0.796). Conclusions::A model with good performance for predicting post-transplant growth patterns in children based on SNPs and clinical variables was constructed and validated using machine learning algorithms. The model is expected to guide clinicians in the management of children after renal transplantation, including the use of growth hormone, glucocorticoid withdrawal, and nutritional supplementation, to alleviate growth retardation in children with ESRD.

Objective To explore the long-term clinical effect of kidney transplantation in children.Methods The clinical data of 53 children with kidney transplantation from March 2008 to September 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The influence of the dependent factors on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (greater than 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 or ＜90 mL/min/1.73 m2) was estimated in the three years after the operation,and the influencing factors were analyzed by the dual logistic regression equation.Results There were 19 cases of living donors,17 cases of organ donors after death,and 6 others.The 53 patients were followed up for 3-9 years.The level of blood creatinine was decreased from the preoperative (820.1 ± 323.1) μmol/L to (51.6 ± 24.9) μmol/L 3 years after the operation (P＜0.05).eGFR was increased to (103.5 ± 11.4) mL/min/1.73 m2at 3rd year after the operation from the preoperative (17.1 ± 7.8) mL/min/1.73 m2 (P＜0.05).The age of recipients,preoperative dialysis time,number of HLA mismatching and postoperative delayed graft function healing (DGF),rejection and infection were the influencing factors of eGFR at 3rd year postoperation (P＜0.05).The multi-factor binary logistic regression equation analysis showed that only rejection was the risk factor for eGFR at 3rd year p0ostoperation.Eight cases of DGF (8/53,15.1％) recovered rapidly.There were 6 cases of acute rejection (6/47,12.8 ％) and 1 case of chronic rejection (1/47,2.1％).There were 9 cases of infection (9/47,19.1％).There were 6 cases of recurrence after surgery.The 3-year recipient and kidney survival rate was 94.3％ (50/53) and 88.7％ (47/53) respectively.The average height of the patients in the first,second and third year after the surgery was increased by (4.6 ± 1.9) cm (0.5-19.1 cm),(3.7 ± 1.8) cm (0.7-14.3 cm) and (2.8± 1.2) cm (0.3-8.7 cm) respectively.Conclusion The long-term effect of children kidney transplantation is satisfactory.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of en-bloc kidney transplantation from pediatric organ donation after death. Methods Clinical data of donors and recipients undergoing en-bloc kidney transplantation from pediatric donor kidneys were retrospectively analyzed. The 1-year survival rates of the recipient and grafted kidney were calculated. The recovery of renal function at postoperative 1 year was observed. The changes in the length of grafted kidney and incidence of postoperative adverse events were monitored. Results The 1-year survival rate of the recipients was 8/9, and 72% for the grafted kidney. During 1-year follow-up, the serum creatinine (Scr) level was down-regulated from (747± 170) μmol/L before transplantation to (83±27) μmol/L post-transplantation, the blood urea nitrogen concentration was decreased from (24.5±4.9) mmol/L to (6.8±2.0) mmol/L, and the length of transplanted kidney was increased from (61.1±9.8) mm to (100.3±1.7) mm. Two recipients suffered from delayed graft function(DGF) and restored after hemodialysis. Two cases developed acute rejection and healed after methylprednisolone shock therapy. One recipient presented with lung fungal infection at postoperative 2 weeks after transplantation, and was treated by the withdrawal of immunosuppressive agents and antibacterial treatment with poor clinical efficacy. Then the recipient died at 3rd month. One case had renal arterial thrombosis at postoperative 7 d, underwent nephrectomy at postoperative 10 d and returned to hemodialysis. At postoperative 1st month, one recipient suffered from thrombosis of unilateral renal artery. The grafted kidney in other side normally functioned and significantly grew in size at postoperative 6 months. In addition, two cases had ureterostenosis of the transplanted kidney, albuminuria in 2, abdominal aortic stenosis in 1 and urinary fistula in 1. All these symptoms were cured or alleviated after corresponding treatment. Conclusions The incidence of perioperative complications is relatively high in en-bloc kidney transplantation from pediatric organ donation after death, whereas the clinical efficacy of such kidney transplantation can be gradually increased along with the accumulation of clinical experience.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of vascular complications induced by hyaluronic acid facial injection.Methods:Patients with vascular complication induced by facial hyaluronic acid facial injection were collected in the Fourth Medical Center of the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from January 1, 2016 to October 1, 2021, including 5 males and 37 females. The age ranged from 16 to 70 (34±10) years. The clinical data, injection site, clinical symptoms and previous facial surgery history of the patients were analyzed and investigated.Results:Vascular complications occurred in 12 cases (28.6%). Nasolabial fold in 8 (19.0%) cases; Glabella in 6 (14.3%) cases; frontal part in 6 (14.3%) cases. There were 27 patients (64.3%) with a history of facial surgery. Furthermore, history of facial surgery had no effect on the clinical manifestations of vascular complications ( P>0.05). Among the 18 patients with visual impairment, 12 patients reported that the symptoms of ptosis, bulbar conjunctival congestion, and eye movement dysfunction had diminished after thrombolytic treatment, while 4 patients showed recovery to some extent in visual acuity. Likewise, 24 patients with blood circulation disorders were healed after treatment, with residual pigmentation and a slight scar left. Conclusions:Women aged 30 to 39 years old are the main target population of cosmetic surgery, as well as the most common population of vascular complications. Particular care should be taken in the nose, nasolabial fold, glabella and forehead areas of the operation. Patients with previous surgical history should be adequately informed before surgery, and postoperative observation time should be appropriately prolonged.

Based on Yichang health big data platform, 850 608 patients from September 2018 to September 2019 were included in this study. According to the date of birth, the participants were divided into early childhood famine exposure group, fetal famine exposure group and non-famine exposure group. The incidence of adult herpes zoster (HZ) in Yichang city was analyzed, and the correlation between early life famine exposure and adult HZ was analyzed. In 2019, the crude incidence rate of adult HZ in Yichang was 6.83‰. The crude incidence rate of adult HZ in females (7.26‰) was higher than that in males (6.40‰). Compared with the non-famine exposure group, fetal famine exposure was associated with the incidence of adult HZ ( OR=1.21; 95% CI: 1.01-1.45, P=0.041). After stratification by sex, fetal famine exposure was only found to be associated with the onset of adult HZ in females ( OR=1.28, 95% CI:1.02-1.61, P=0.034).

Objective:To conduct a network meta-analysis comparing the efficacy and safety of various drug injections for treating keloids.Methods:The search terms of "triamcinolone acetonide, 5-fluorouracil, verapamil, botulinum toxin, platelet rich plasma, keloid, scar, drug injection" were retrieved in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI and Wanfang database to obtain the publicly published randomized controlled trials comparing single or combined drug injection for treating keloid from January 2010 to February 2023. The outcome index was the effective proportion of treatment, incidence proportion of adverse reactions, and recurrence proportion. NoteExpress, RevMan 5.4, and Stata 16.0 statistical software were utilized to perform a network meta-analysis of eligible studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results:A total of 1 679 patients were enrolled in 21 studies that evaluated nine treatment modalities: triamcinolone (TAC), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), botulinum toxin type A (BTA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), Verapamil, BTA+ 5-FU, TAC+ 5-FU, TAC+ BTA, and TAC+ PRP. The network diagram revealed that there were 36 pairwise comparisons among the 9 treatment measures, with direct comparisons in 13 of them. The funnel plot demonstrated a symmetrical distribution of effect size points, and both Beggs test and Eggers test yielded P values greater than 0.05, indicating a low likelihood of publication bias. Nine treatment measures formed five closed loops with good consistency. The result of the network meta-analysis indicated that BTA+ 5-FU was more effective than TAC, 5-FU, or PRP alone; TAC+ 5-FU was more effective than TAC, 5-FU, or PRP alone; TAC+ BTA was more effective than TAC, 5-FU, BTA, or PRP alone; Verapamil was more effective than 5-FU and BTA was more effective than 5-FU. All result were found to be statistically significant ( P<0.05). A surface under the cumulative ranking area (SUCRA) map was generated, displaying the efficacy ranking and corresponding SUCRA values for each treatment: BTA+ 5-FU (85.6%)>TAC+ 5-FU (84.8%)>BTA+ TAC (76.7%)>Verapamil (48.9%)>BTA (45.0%)>TAC+ PRP (43.8%)>PRP (32.1%)>TAC (24.7%)>5-FU(8.3%). In terms of recurrence rate, the incidence of recurrence was higher with 5-FU compared to BTA or TAC+ 5-FU, and the incidence of recurrence was higher with TAC compared to TAC+ 5-FU; these differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). A SUCRA map was generated with the ranking and SUCRA value for each treatment as follows: 5-FU (80.4%)>TAC (73.5%)>Verapamil (65.7%)>TAC+ BTA (52.5%)>PRP (34.8%)>BTA+ 5-FU (33.7%)>TAC+ 5-FU (30.2%)>BTA (29.3%). The qualitative analysis revealed a significantly lower incidence of systemic and local adverse reactions following combined drug injection compared to single drug injection. Conclusion:In the treatment of keloids using drug injection, combination therapy utilizing multiple drugs has demonstrated superior efficacy, lower recurrence rates, and fewer adverse reactions in comparison to single-drug therapy. Notably, the utilization of BAT, 5-FU, and TAC in combination may yield the most favorable outcomes.
