Klotho is a gene associated with aging, the transmembrane protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in the kidney, and is also expressed in tissues such as the brain, parathyroid and pituitary glands. The extracellular domain of Klotho can also be cleaved and shed to form soluble Klotho, which acts as a circulating hormone and can be detected in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine. More and more studies have shown that Klotho protein plays an important role in the complex regulation of growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF1) axis. The interaction between Klotho protein and GH-IGF1 axis is bidirectional, which regulates each other, and then regulates the normal linear growth of children. In addition, Klotho protein can also affect the growth and development of fetus and newborn through different ways, and its mechanism is not very clear.

Objective:
To investigate factors influencing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), and to provide a scientific basis for effective prevention and treatment programs.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted among 6 757 students who participated in the scoliosis screening program for primary and middle school students in Zhongshan City, China from April 2019 to March 2020. Visual examination and Adams flexion test were used to measure the rotation angle of trunk. For each student, individual and family demographics, family history of scoliosis, daily postural habits, school bag carrying habits, vision, health, school environment, and physical activity were collected by questionnaire. Factors influencing AIS were analyzed using Chi square test and multivariate Logistic regression.
Results:
The positive screening rate for AIS was 2.0%(135 cases). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that female gender, no family history of AIS, standing with lumbar spine tilted forward, habit of leaning to the left when seated, and a monthly family income of >10 000 yuan were related to the occurrence of AIS in adolescents ( OR =3.01, 0.38, 2.29, 1.74, 0.44, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Female students aged 10-16 years with a family history of scoliosis in Zhongshan are identified as a high risk group for scoliosis screening. Developing proper standing and sitting habits helps to reduce the risk of AIS in adolescents.

Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of modified Xiaoyao powder for postpartum depression (PPD) by conducting a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods:
The Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure Databases (CNKI), the Chinese Scientific Journals Database (VIP), Wanfang, Google Scholar, the SinoMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and PubMed databases were searched from their inception to April 25, 2023. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was used to assess the quality of the trials. We applied the risk ratio to present dichotomous data and the mean difference to present continuous data. Data with similar characteristics were pooled for meta-analysis and heterogeneity was assessed using I2.
Results:
This review included 35 trials involving 2848 participants. The quality of the included studies was low (unclear randomization processes and insufficient reporting of blinding). Participants treated with modified Xiaoyao powder plus Western medicine showed lower Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) depression score than those who used Western medicine alone (mean difference = −2.15; 95% confidence interval:−2.52 to 1.78; P < .00001), and higher effective rate (relative risk = 1.19; 95% confidence interval: 1.15 to 1.24; P < .00001), When comparing modified Xiaoyao alone with Western medicine, the HAMD depression score remained low, however, the efficacy rate was higher in the modified Xiaoyao group. Regarding adverse events, the modified Xiaoyao group reported weight gain, nausea, and diarrhea, but no severe adverse events were reported.
Conclusion
Modified Xiaoyao may help relieve depression in PPD when used alone or in combination with Western medicine, with minor side effects. Therefore, future high-quality, large-sample size RCTs are warranted.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of acute pancreatitis.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 558 patients with acute pancreatitis who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from June 2015 to June 2023 were collected. There were 352 males and 206 females, aged (46±15)years. Observation indicators: (1) general situations of acute pancreatitis patients; (2) etiology of acute pancreatitis patients; (3) severity of acute pancreatitis patients; (4) chronic diseases in acute pan-creatitis patients; (5) complications in acute pancreatitis patients; (6) subgroup analysis of patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the rank sum test. Bonferroni correction was used for pairwise comparison. Results:(1) General situations of acute pancreatitis patients. There were significant differences in gender, age, total duration of hospital stay, smoking, and alcohol consumption between the first episode of acute pancreatitis patients and the recurrent acute pancreatitis patients ( P<0.05). (2) Etiology of acute pancreatitis patients. There were significant differences in gallstones and hyperlipidemia between the first episode of acute pancreatitis patients and the recurrent acute pancreatitis patients ( P<0.05). (3) Severity of acute pancreatitis patients. Of the 443 patients with first episode of acute pancreatitis and 115 patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis, cases with mild acute pancreatitis, cases with moderate-severe acute pancreatitis, cases with severe acute pan-creatitis were 320 and 83, 24 and 9, 99 and 23, showing no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). (4) Chronic diseases in acute pancreatitis patients. There were significant differences in com-plication as hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and diabetes between the first episode of acute pancreatitis patients and the recurrent acute pancreatitis patients ( P<0.05). (5) Complications in acute pancrea-titis patients. There was no significant difference in terms of acute necrotic collection, acute peripan-creatic fluid accumulation, walled-off necrosis, pancreatic pseudocyst, infectious pancreatic necrosis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, respiratory system complications, circulatory system complications, renal complications, sepsis, abdominal compartment syndrome, or pancreatic ence-phalopathy between the first episode of acute pancreatitis patients and the recurrent acute pancrea-titis patients ( P>0.05). (6) Subgroup analysis of patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis. ① Combination with chronic diseases. Of the 115 patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis, cases with mild acute pancreatitis, cases with moderate-severe acute pancreatitis, cases with severe acute pancreatitis were 83, 9, 23, and there were 25, 8, 11 cases of them with hyperlipidemia, respectively, showing a significant difference among them ( P<0.05). ② Complications. Of the 115 patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis, there were 44 cases with hyperlipidemia and 71 cases without hyper-lipidemia, and there were significant differences in acute peripancreatic fluid accumulation and renal complications between them ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Recurrent acute pancreatitis is more common in males. Compared with first episode of acute pancreatitis, cases with recurrent acute pancreatitis usually have younger age, shorter total duration of hospital stay, higher proportion of smoking and drinking. The etiology of recurrent acute pancreatitis is composed of lower levels of biliary diseases and higher levels of hyperlipidemia. Patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis have higher proportion of comorbidities as hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and diabetes. There was no signifi-cant difference in the incidence of complications between first episode of acute pancreatitis and recurrent acute pancreatitis. Compared with recurrent acute pancreatitis patients without concomi-tant hyperlipidemia, recurrent acute pancreatitis patients with concomitant hyperlipidemia are more prone to acute peripancreatic fluid accumulation and renal complications.

Objective:To explore the promoted role of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) overexpression in proliferation and differentiation of immature white matter progenitor cells after ischemia in vitro. Methods:Periventricular white matter cells from 5-d-old rats were cultured in vitro and divided into control group, oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) group, OGD+gadolinium chloride (GdCl 3) group, and OGD+ CaSR silenced group. CaSR expression was agitated by GdCl 3, and CaSR gene expression was inhibited by gene silencing. CaSR mRNA levels 24, 48 and 72 h, and 7 and 14 d after OGD were detected by real-time fluorescence quantification-PCR (RT-qPCR); cell proliferation 48 h after OGD was detected by inverted microscope, and cell differentiation 24, 48, and 72 h, and 7 and 14 d was detected by double immunofluorescence staining. Results:(1) CaSR mRNA expressions: CaSR mRNA expressions in OGD group 48 and 72 h and 7 d after OGD were statistically higher than those in control group ( P<0.05). Forty-eight and 72 h, and 7 and 14 d after OGD, CaSR mRNA expressions in OGD+GDCL 3 group were statistically higher than those in control group and OGD group ( P<0.05); the CaSR mRNA expressions in the OGD+CaSR silenced group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). (2) Cell proliferation and differentiation: 48 h after OGD, the cell sphere diameter of OGD group ([75.26±26.07] μm) was significantly increased as compared with that of control group ([57.96±18.92] μm, P<0.05); the cell sphere diameter of OGD+GdCl 3 group ([91.92±21.82] μm) was significantly increased as compared with that of control group and OGD group ( P<0.05); and the cell sphere diameter of OGD+ CaSR silenced group ([24.09±8.34] μm) was significantly shorter than that of control group and OGD group ( P<0.05). At 48 and 72 h after OGD, the number of O4 +/CaSR + olidoendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in OGD group was significantly larger than that in control group, that in OGD+GdCl 3 group was significantly larger than that in control group and OGD group, and that in OGD+ CaSR silenced group was significantly smaller than that in control group and OGD group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CaSR overexpression could promote the proliferation and differentiation of progenitor cells to OPCs.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the index of hemodynamics in perinatal period and retinopathy of prematurity(ROP), so as to provide basis for the better prevention and treatment of ROP.Methods:From May 2017 to April 2019, the preterm infants were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University at birth and were hospitalized for more than 2 weeks, gestational age ≤ 35 weeks and birth weight ≤ 2 500 g. They were selected as the study objects.The perinatal data including heart rate, blood pressure, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, and NT-proBNP level on the 1 st, 7 th and 14 th day, respectively after birth were collected.They were divided into ROP group and non ROP group according to the results of the retinopathy screening report.The influencing factors of ROP were screened out by univariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis. Results:A total of 1 119 subjects were included, 105 infants with ROP were detected, and the prevalence of ROP was 9.4%.Among them, 12 cases of pre-threshold lesion type 1 and threshold lesions required treatment, accoun-ting for 1.07% of screened preterm infants .Univariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis revealed that gestational age, birth weight, total oxygen therapy time, and intrauterine growth restriction were all factors affecting ROP, and 2 hemodynamic related indicators, such as the level of NT-proBNP in plasma on the 14 th day after birth, and placenta previa or abruption were also related to ROP( OR=0.604, 0.647, 1.276, 2.361, 1.688 and 2.506, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The hemodynamic changes in perinatal period may be involved in the formation of ROP, and it is necessary to further clarify its mechanism.
