Objective:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of rapamycin in children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) associated renal disease.
Methods:
A prospective self-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 92 children diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex associated kidney disease at the People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2011 to January 2019 were collected. The long-term rapamycin treatment for all patients initiated at 1 mg/(m2·d), which was gradually adjusted to reach a blood concentration of 5-10 μg/L. The changes of the maximum diameter of renal lesions in children after rapamycin treatment were observed and analyzed with Wilcoxon test.
Results:
Ninety-two children, including 52 males and 40 females, who met the criteria were analyzed. Sixty patients had only renal angiomyolipoma(RAML), while 24 patients had only multiple renal cysts(MRC), and 8 patients had both lesions. The age of TSC diagnosis was 16.0 (7.0, 42.0) months, and the age of initial treatment with rapamycin was 63.5 (21.0, 103.0) months. The follow-up lasted for 12.0 (4.0, 23.0) months. Sequencing of TSC1 and TSC2 genes was performed in 54 children with TSC, including 3 patients (6%) with mutations in TSC1 gene and 51 patients (94%) with mutations in TSC2 gene. The maximum RAML diameter before treatment was 7.0 (4.0, 9.0) mm. The best effect reached at 3 months of treatment, with the diameter of 4.0 (0,7.0) mm. The maximum diameters at 6 months, 1 year and 1-2 years were 5.0 (0,9.8) mm, 5.0 (1.5, 8.5) mm, 5.5 (3.0, 9.0) mm, respectively, and were significantly different from the baseline (

Objective:To investigate the relationship between prolonged PR interval and carotid atherosclerosis(CAS)in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:A total of 537 middle-aged and elderly inpatients with T2DM in the Southern Branch of the Sixth People′s Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the research objects. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to detect bilateral carotid artery intima-media thickness(CIMT). The subjects were divided into carotid atherosclerosis group(CAS group, n=352)and non-carotid atherosclerosis group(NCAS group, n=185). The difference in the PR interval of ECG between the two groups was compared. Pearson or Spearman rank correlation analysis was used for evaluating the correlation of PR interval and CAS lesions with various clinical index. The relationship between PR interval and CAS lesions was adopted by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:The average PR interval of middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM was(164.57±23.02)ms. The average PR interval in CAS group was significantly higher than that in NCAS group [(169.76±24.28) vs (154.70±16.42)ms, P<0.01]. The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that age, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, serum osteocalcin, and PR interval were independent factors influencing the development of CAS lesions in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM( OR=1.079, 1.936, 0.879, 1.039, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01)where each 1 ms increase in PR interval was associated with a 3.9% increase in the risk of CAS in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM( OR=1.039, 95% CI 1.006-1.073, P=0.020). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetic patients with PR interval≥158 ms were 4.072 times more likely to have CAS lesions than those with PR interval<158 ms( OR=4.072, 95% CI 1.417-11.702, P<0.01). Conclusion:The PR interval of electrocardiogram is correlated with CAS lesions in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM. Middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetic patients with significantly prolonged PR interval should be reminded to screen for CAS lesions early.

Objective To study the effects of binary cardiac rehabilitation (CR) composed of hospital-based and home-based CR in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) evaluated by six-minute walking distance (6MWD). Methods A total of 38 post-MI patients were divided into two groups, namely conventional CR group (n=20) and binary CR group (n=18). In the first seven days, CR training was carried out in all 38 patients in our hospital, and then 20 patients were kept at CR training in the hospital (hospital-based CR group), whereas the remaining 18 patients (binary CR group) got tele-monitored walking training at home for eight weeks (binary model). Before discharge from hospital based CR or after 8 weeks CR at home, all patients received Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Six-minute Walk Test, and the data of patients' body mass index (BMI),thyroid function, serum lipid metabolism and echocardiography were collected before and after CR. Results After CR, BMI and low density lipoprotein (LDL) decrease in both groups compared with those before CR[hospital-based group: BMI, (25.99±3.36)kg/m2 vs. (23.04±3.72) kg/m2,P<0.05; LDL, (3.40±1.38) mg/dl vs. (2.04±0.73)mg/ dl,P<0.01; binary group: BMI, (24.84±2.70) kg/m2 vs. (22.88±2.56) kg/m2,P<0.05; LDL, (3.40±1.01) mg/dl vs. (92.11±0.37) mg/dl,P<0.01]. After 8 weeks CR at home or hospital based CR until discharge, the anaerobic threshold (AT), maximum rate of oxygen consumption (VO2max),metabolic equivalent (MET) and 6MWD improved significantly in both groups compared with those at 7 days after CR in hospital [Hospital-based group: AT, (12.37±1.53) mL/(kg. min) vs. (14.77±1.57) mL/(kg. min); VO2max (17.87± 1.66 mL/(kg. min) vs. (20.73±2.14) mL/(kg. min); MET (5.02±0.36) vs. (6.09±0.53); 6MWD (500±53.36) m vs. (582.5±57.6) m,P<0.01; Binary group: AT, (12.56±1.11) mL/(kg·min) vs. (14.30±1.23) mL/(kg. min); V02max, (17.28±1.38) mL/(kg. min) vs. (20.02±1.37) mL/(kg. min); MET, (5.07±0.47)vs (5.94±0.46); 6MWD,(511.4±50.96) m vs. (590.3±56.1)m,P<0.01]. There was no significant difference in CR effects observed between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions In post-MI patients,a binary model of CR training improved physical capacity and was a similarly effective form of CR as a entirely hospital-based approach. A home-based tele-monitored program facilitated patients' adherence to CR. The 6 minute walk experiment is economical and good evaluation on the CR effect of binary cardiac rehabilitation.
