Objective To examine the relationships between a number of potential risk or protective factors and the risk of depression and anxiety among a population of adolescent elite athletes in Guangzhou city. Methods A whole sample was consisted of 520 students,and the information of their age,gender,characteristics and others was investigated. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scales(HADS). Data were analyzed using multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results After adjusting for other variables,students who had a high risk of anxiety were underweight (sβ =2.482) when compared to those who were of normal weight. Reduced risk of anxiety was associated with older students ( sβ = 4. 365), students with moderate educated mothersβ=3. 153) , and students who perceived very high pressure from teachers/coaches (sβ=5.372). A significant increase in the risk of depression was associated with variables including: students aged between 15 and 16 years(sβ =3.367) ,students who had a family history of chronic diseases (sβ =2.765) , and poor overall support(sβ = 4.365). Reduced risk of depression was associated with students with moderate educated mothers( sβ = 6.764) and students who perceived very high pressure from teachers/coaches(sβ = 4. 167). Conclusion Various risk and protective factors have been identified for anxiety and depression. These results have direct implications on the development of appropriate preventive strategies for mental problems among young elite athletes.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the genetic variants of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) combined with epilepsy, and explore its possible pathogenic mechanism.
METHODS:
Clinical data of the child were collected and evaluated, whole-exome sequencing (WES) technology was used to explore the genetic variants sites of the child and his parents and candidate genes were filtered out. Sanger sequencing were performed to verify the variants identified by WES and PolyPhen2 was utilized to predict the function of these variants. qPCR was carry out to determine the expression of the variant gene.
RESULTS:
The proband carried a compound heterozygous mutation in the SIK3 gene (Chr11 q23.3, NM_025164.6), which contains a missense mutation c.1295A>G (p.N432S) inherited from the father and a deletion [c.2389_2391del(p.797del)] inherited from the mother. Both mutation sites are highly conservative, and PolyPhen2 predicted (c.1295A>G [p.N432S]) to be harmful. Compared to the mother, expression of SIK3in mRNA level in the peripheral blood of the proband and his father were both significantly decreased; compared to normal child, SIK3 expression in the peripheral blood of the proband and two other children with ASD were all decreased significantly too. In addition, studies on mice found that Sik3 gene has a marked higher level of expression in the brain.
CONCLUSION
The SIK3 gene variants may probably be associated with ASD. The detailed mechanism needs to be studied further, which may involve lipid metabolism dysfunction in the brain.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic basis of a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in conjunct with congenital heart disease (CHD).
METHODS:
A child who was hospitalized at the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu on April 13, 2021 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child were collected. Peripheral blood samples of the child and his parents were collected and subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES). A GTX genetic analysis system was used to analyze the WES data and screen candidate variants for ASD. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) was carried out to compare the expression of mRNA of the NSD1 gene between this child and 3 healthy controls and 5 other children with ASD.
RESULTS:
The patient, an 8-year-old male, has manifested with ASD, mental retardation and CHD. WES analysis revealed that he has harbored a heterozygous c.3385+2T>C variant in the NSD1 gene, which may affect the function of its protein product. Sanger sequencing showed that neither of his parent has carried the same variant. By bioinformatic analysis, the variant has not been recorded in the ESP, 1000 Genomes and ExAC databases. Analysis with Mutation Taster online software indicated it to be disease causing. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was predicted to be pathogenic. By qPCR analysis, the expression level of mRNA of the NSD1 gene in this child and 5 other children with ASD was significantly lower than that of the healthy controls (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
The c.3385+2T>C variant of the NSD1 gene can significantly reduce its expression, which may predispose to ASD. Above finding has enriched the mutational spectrum the NSD1 gene.

Objective:To analyze the safety and effectiveness of application of modified double-lumen microcatheter in the measurement of fractional flow reserve(FFR) in coronary bifurcation lesions.Methods:Total of 28 patients with coronary bifurcation lesions in two centers were divided into two groups:conventional technique group(CON) and novel technique group(NOV). The fluoroscopy time, contrast dye usage and FFR-related complications of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There were 16 cases in CON group and 12 cases in NOV group. The median time required fluoroscopy in NOV group was significantly less than that in CON group; additionally, lesser amounts of contrast dye were used in NOV group (both P<0.05). The NOV group procedures were successfully accomplished in all cases without complications, such as damage of the pressure sensor, SB spasm or dissection. However, The CON group failed in three patients, including two who experienced coronary artery spasms( P>0.05). Conclusions:Limited experience suggests that the application of modified double-lumen microcatheter in the jailed SB FFR measurement after MV stenting is a safe and technically feasible approach.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinical manifestations and gene mutation of a 6 year old boy with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
METHODSPeripheral blood of the boy and his parents were subjected to genetic testing.
RESULTSThe patient was diagnosed with typical autism. Exome sequencing has identified mutations of four candidate genes, namely TUT1, DIAPH3, REELIN and SETD2, which were confirmed with Sanger sequencing. Analysis of family members confirmed that the missense mutations of DIAPH3 and SETD2 genes were of de novo origin.
CONCLUSIONMissense mutations of DIAPH3 and SETD2 genes may have contributed to the risk of ASD. Disrupted neurogenesis associated with such mutations may have been the underlying mechanism for ASD.

Objective:To study whether aspirin has inhibitory effect on microglia activation induced by Poly-IC and its mechanism.Methods:Microglia cell line BV2 were cultured in vitro to establish a Poly-IC stimulation-induced microglia cell immune activation model. The experiment groups were divided into control group (no treatment), model group (Poly-IC 10 μg/ml), high dose aspirin group (1 mmol/L aspirin), low dose aspirin group (0.1 mmol/L aspirin), high dose aspirin pretreatment group (Poly-IC 10 μg/ml + 1 mmol/L aspirin) and low dose aspirin pretreatment group (Poly-IC 10 μg/ml + 0.1 mmol/L aspirin). The phagocytosis ability of microglia cells, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Iba1 protein expression were detected by using immunofluorescence method. The expression of the inflammatory cytokines Il-1β, Il-6, Il-10, TNF-α and cox-2 mRNA in microglia cells were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).Results:Compared with the control group, the morphology of microglia cells in model group changed significantly, and the phagocytosis ability and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased. At the meantime, the expression of Iba1 protein was strongly decreased. In the model group, The mRNA expressions of IL-1β(20.55±1.92), IL-6 (63.98±7.83), TNF-α (16.84±3.19), COX-2 (6.78±0.42) were higher than IL-1β(1.01±0.14), IL-6 (0.95±0.17), TNF-α (1.22±0.38), COX-2 (0.87±0.11) in the control group. (Il-1β ( t=26.14), Il-6 ( t=10.22), TNF-α ( t=17.06) and COX-2 ( t=37.07), all P<0.01). In the aspirin pretreatment group, the phagocytic ability of microglia cells was inhibited compared with the model group, and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduced. The expression of Iba1 protein was also partly recovered. Meanwhile, the effect of the high aspirin dose pretreatment group on pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β(9.95±0.52), IL-6 (39.64±6.89), TNF-α(1.57±0.42), COX-2 (2.47±0.14)were lower than those in the model group significantly.(IL-1β: t=14.18, IL-6: t=3.69, TNF-α: t=16.68, COX-2: t=27.03, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Aspirin has an inhibitory effect on microglial activation induced by Poly-IC, which may be related with inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors.

Infectious bone defect is bone defect with infection or as a result of treatment of bone infection. It requires surgical intervention, and the treatment processes are complex and long, which include bone infection control,bone defect repair and even complex soft tissue reconstructions in some cases. Failure to achieve the goals in any step may lead to the failure of the overall treatment. Therefore, infectious bone defect has been a worldwide challenge in the field of orthopedics. Conventionally, sequestrectomy, bone grafting, bone transport, and systemic/local antibiotic treatment are standard therapies. Radical debridement remains one of the cornerstones for the management of bone infection. However, the scale of debridement and the timing and method of bone defect reconstruction remain controversial. With the clinical application of induced membrane technique, effective infection control and rapid bone reconstruction have been achieved in the management of infectious bone defect. The induced membrane technique has attracted more interests and attention, but the lack of understanding the basic principles of infection control and technical details may hamper the clinical outcomes of induced membrane technique and complications can possibly occur. Therefore, the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized domestic orthopedic experts to formulate An evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique ( version 2023) according to the evidence-based method and put forward recommendations on infectious bone defect from the aspects of precise diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, operation procedure, postoperative management and rehabilitation, so as to provide useful references for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique.
