Conclusion: There is a great difference between theoretical simulating distribution ratio and experiment value in order of magnitude. However, their relative relationship is consistent.

Caspases are a group of structurally related cysteine proteases present in cytosol. One of their important common points is that the active sites contain cysteine and can specifically break the peptide bonds after the aspartic acid residues. Caspases are broadly divided into two groups based on their functions, including inflammatory Caspases and apoptotic Caspases. Inflammatory Caspases include Caspase-1, Caspase-4, Caspase-5, Caspase-11 and Caspase-12, which play important roles in the process of innate immune defense. Unlike inflammatory Caspases, apoptotic Caspases(2/3/6/7/8/910)initiate and execute an immunologically silent form of programmed cell death known as apoptosis. However, ongoing investigations have uncovered essential functions of Caspase-8 in the regulation of immunity in cells and organisms. Accumulated studies have shown that Caspases play important roles in the occurrence and development of various immunity-related diseases. In order to comprehensively elucidate the relationship between Caspases and innate immunity, and to provide some scientific basis and theoretical reference for the treatment of various diseases, this article reviews the regulation of activity and inflammation mechanism of innate immunity-related Caspase-1/4/5/11/8/12.

Objective:To investigate the application of multiscale low-rank plus sparsity (MLRS) modeling in fast ultra-high-field intracranial 4D Flow imaging.Methods:Ten healthy volunteers, 5 males and 5 females, aged 23-35 (29±4) years old, recruited from October 2022 to January 2023 at Huashan Hospital of Fudan University, were prospectively collected. A MLRS model acceleration algorithm was proposed according to the characteristics of 4D Flow data based on the multiscale low-rank (MLR) model. Firstly, full sampling brain 4D Flow scans were performed on healthy volunteers using 7.0 T MR, and the acquired data were under-sampled with Gaussian distributions at different acceleration rates (R of 4, 8, 12, and 16, respectively). The root mean square error (RMSE) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the compressed sensing algorithm (CS), low-rank plus sparse algorithm (L+S), MLR, and MLRS model were calculated at different acceleration rates, with fully sampled data as reference. And the comparison of models was performed using the paired-samples t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test. Pearson′s test was used to assess the correlation between hemodynamic parameters of the 4 algorithms and the fully sampled reference values at different acceleration rates, and the correlation coefficients were compared using Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results:The RMSE under the same acceleration rates was MLRS, MLR, L+S, and CS models in ascending order, and the RMSE of the MLRS model was significantly lower than that of the MLR, L+S, and CS models ( P<0.05); the PSNR was MLRS, MLR, L+S, and CS models in descending order, and the PSNR of the MLRS model was significantly higher than that of the MLR, L+S, and CS model ( P<0.05). The correlation coefficients between the blood flow velocity measured by the MLRS model and the reference value were significantly higher than those of the MLR, L+S, and CS models for different acceleration rates ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The proposed MLRS algorithm is capable of accelerating ultra-high-field 4D Flow MR imaging of the brain while guaranteeing the image quality, and the MLRS model has higher reconstruction accuracy compared with conventional acceleration models at the same acceleration rate.

To assess the positive predictive value (PPV) of extended noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT-plus) for fetal chromosomal abnormalities. This retrospective research enrolled 511 cases of pregnant women with positive NIPT-plus results at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from May 2017 to January 2021. Karyotype analysis and chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) techniques was applied for verification. All cases were followed to determine their pregnancy outcome. The Chi-square test was used in PPV. 63 out of 511 refused prenatal diagnosis after counseling, 448 pregnant women with prenatal diagnosis showed that the PPVs of NIPT-plus test for fetal trisomy 21, 18 and 13 (T21, T18, T13), sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCAs) and chromosome microdeletion/microduplication syndrome (MMS) were 86.0% (92/107), 79.5% (35/44), 54.5% (12/22), 39.5% (75/190), and 41.7% (30/72), respectively. The results revealed that the PPV was higher among older pregnant women compared to young pregnant women (77.8% vs. 51.9%, P<0.01). With increasing maternal age, the PPV of NIPT-plus presented increasing trends for T21, T13, and composite PPV except for T18 or SCAs. In addition, the termination rates for confirmed SCAs fetal karyotypes 45, X; 47, XXX; 47, XXY and 47, XYY were 11/11, 3/15, 91.7% (22/24) and 1/14, respectively. NIPT-plus can safely and effectively detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities and can be extended to MMS screening, significantly reducing the proportion of interventional prenatal diagnoses, and those with positive screening still require further confirmation.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic in China, and to provide reference for pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic construction and improvement. METHODS Domestic Children's hospitals, Women's & Children's Hospital, and general hospitals with pediatric unit were selected as the survey objects, questionnaires were distributed through the Wenjuanxing Application, and SPSS 26.0 was used to describe the data. The development of pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic, the qualification of visiting pharmacists, the situation of post training and training needs were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 101 valid questionnaires were collected. Pediatric pharmacist-managed clinics had been set up in 55(54.5%) hospitals, of which 35 were independent pharmacists' clinics, and most had well medical document and patient management processes. However, about 70% of hospitals did not charge registration fees, and more than half of hospitals had fewer than 5 patient-visits per day. 85.5% of the hospitals were visited by clinical pharmacists, and about half of them were senior clinical pharmacists with more than 10 years of working experience. But only 3.6% of visiting pharmacists had the right of specific prescription. In 101 hospitals relevant post training for pharmacists had been carried out in 36 hospitals, of which 25 hospitals had set up pharmacist-managed clinic. In addition to pharmaceutical expertise, more than 50% of pharmacists had a strong demand for the improvement of physician-patient communication and problem-solving ability, and 30%-40% of the demand was focused on the collection of medication history, psychological counseling ability, and case-based learning in the pharmacist-managed clinic. CONCLUSION At present, the domestic pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic shows a vigorous development trend, however, there are insufficient registration fees, visits, and post training. Appropriate service methods of pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic should be actively explored, and a pediatric specialized training system for should be well constructed to improve the competency.
