Objective: To investigate the regulation of curculigoside on osteogenic differentiation of MG63 and the protective effect on osteoporosis model mice. Methods: The effects of curculigoside on the survival rate of dexamethasone or H₂O₂ treated MG63 were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). The specimens were divided into six groups: blank control group, blank administration group, model group (dexamethasone or H₂O₂ treatment group), low dose group (dexamethasone or H₂O₂+1.0 μmol/L curculigoside), medium dose group (dexamethasone or H₂O₂+2.5 μmol/L curculigoside) and high dose group (dexamethasone or H₂O₂+5.0 μmol/L curculigoside), the sample size of each group was 10. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of osteogenic differentiation-related proteins [type Ⅰ collagen, integrin β1, osteoblast-specific transcription factor (Osterix), osteocalcin and osteopontin] in MG63 cells after 1, 7 and 14 days incubated with 0, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 μmol/L of curculigoside. The sample size for each group at each time point was six. The experimental mice were divided into 4 groups: blank group, model group (dexamethasone treatment group), curculigoside low-dose group (dexamethasone+5 mg/kg curculigoside) and high-dose group (dexamethasone+45 mg/kg curculigoside), twenty each. After treatment, the tibia of the mice in each group were subjected to sacral HE staining. The number of osteoclasts was counted, and the levels of oxidative related factors in serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The MTT results showed that compared with the blank control group [(100±3.7)%], the cell survival rate decreased to (44.1±5.7)% after treatment with dexamethasone, and the survival rate increased to (79.7±3.8)% after treatment with 5.0 μmol/L of curculigoside. The cell survival rate decreased to (59.1±4.7)% after H₂O₂ treatment, and the survival rate increased to (80.8±3.5)% after treatment with 2.5 μmol/L of curculigoside. The results of Western blotting showed that the expression of type Ⅰ collagen and integrin β1 in MG63 cells was significantly increased after 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 μmol/L of curculigoside for 1, 7 and 14 days compared with 0 μmol/L of curculigo side for the same period. After increasing (P<0.05), the expression of Osterix and osteocalcin was significantly increased after 1 day of incubation (P<0.05). However, compared with 0 μmol/L curculigoside treatment, the expression of osteopontin in MG63 cells was not significantly different after incubation with 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 μmol/L of curculigoside for 7 and 14 days (P>0.05). Compared with the blank group, the number of tibia osteoclasts in the osteoporosis model group increased. In the low-dose and high-dose groups of curculigoside, the tibia cortex was more continuous and the number of osteoclasts decreased. Compared with the blank group, the activity of oxygen in the osteoporosis model group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and superoxide dimutase and catalase were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions Curculigoside promotes the differentiation of MG63 cells by increasing the expression of osteoblast differentiation-related proteins, and has a certain therapeutic effect on dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis mice.

Objective To investigate the effect of urinary training on urination control in infants using nappies after birth.Methods Stratified sampling method was used to investigate the daytime urination control and the using of diapers by children in kindergartens of 6 prefecture-level cities in Henan Province,China.The survey was conducted among parents of healthy children.Results In a total of 12 250 questionnaires,11 697 had response,and 10 562 valid questionnaires were collected,and the effective recovery rate was 86.22％.After the birth of infants,the age of toilet training was divided into 6 groups (0-＜ 3 months old group,3-＜ 6 months old group,6-＜ 12 months old group,12-＜ 18 months old group,18-＜ 24 months old group and no toilet training group).Results showed that toilet training within 12 months leads to higher urinary control rate compared with toilet training after 12 months and no toilet training till the age of 2 years old,70.56％ (4 831/6 847 cases) in contrast with 59.02％ (1 545/2 618 cases) and 42.48％ (466/1 097 cases),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =114.76,335.48,all P ＜ 0.000 1).Within 12 months,there was no statistical difference in the urinary control rate between subgroups at 2 years of age(all P ＞0.05).After 12 months,the urination control rate decreased with the start time delayed till 2 years of age,and the urinary control rate at the age of 2 years old n different groups was 59.97％ (1 314/2 191 cases) and 54.10％ (231/427 cases) respectively.The results of other ages(0.5,1.0,1.5 years old) were similar to those of 2 years old.There was no difference between the groups of different genders (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The use of diapers in infants before the age of 1 year to start urinary training is conducive to the development of urinary control in infants.

In this paper, existing techniques and methods for cancer diagnosis based on urine VOCs were described, relevant studies on the use of urine VOCs for cancer diagnosis were reviewed, and the barriers and future perspectives of the technique were discussed. This paper can be a reference for researchers working in the direction of urinary VOCs detection, a multidisciplinary field that spans medicine and materials science.

Objective:To investigate the role of miR-146a in the pathogenesis of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and its clinical significance.Methods:This article is a prospective clinical cohort study.Twenty-six patients with sJIA (14 cases of initial active group and 12 cases of stable group), 15 patients with multijoint juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and 15 patients with oligojoint JIA diagnosed in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of Anhui Provincial Children′s Hospital from June 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled.Twenty healthy controls from the out-patient clinic were also recruited.The expression level of miR-146a in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of research objects was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase reaction (qPCR), and the serum levels of interleukin (IL) - 6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) - α and IL-1β in sJIA patients and healthy controls were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The expression levels of miR-146a in PBMCs and cytokines among different groups were compared by analysis of variance. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of the relative expression level of miR-146a in PBMCs with clinical inflammatory indexes and serum cytokines in sJIA patients. Results:(1) The expression level of miR-146a in PBMCs of early sJIA patients was significantly higher than that in the multijoint JIA group and oligojoint JIA group (8.77±3.15 vs.4.40±1.59, 2.55±1.15, t=6.27, 14.23; all P<0.05). The expression level of miR-146a in PBMCs of sJIA active patients was significantly higher than that in sJIA stable patients (8.77±3.15 vs.3.63±1.37, t=10.27, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression level of miR-146a between the sJIA stable group and healthy control group ( P>0.05). (2) The expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly higher in sJIA active patients group than those in sJIA stable group[(58.56±17.47) ng/L vs.(26.32±10.54) ng/L, (73.72±11.16) ng/L vs.(23.20±9.12) ng/L, (70.93±19.97) ng/L vs.(24.25±9.49) ng/L, all P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α between the sJIA stable group and healthy control group(all P>0.05). (3)The expression of miR-146a in PBMCs of sJIA patients was positively correlated with serum ferritin levels, platelets, erythrocyte sedimentation rates, C-reactive proteins, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α( r=0.542, 0.433, 0.329, 0.306, 0.333, 0.342, 0.319, all P<0.05). Conclusions:miR-146a may be involved in the inflammatory process of sJIA disease.miR-146a can well distinguish sJIA from multijoint JIA and oligojoint JIA.TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 are involved in sJIA inflammatory responses.

The rational use of medical insurance fund(MIF) plays an important role in promoting the high-quality development of public hospitals, and the supervision of MIF is in a trend of under the rule of law, normalization, professionalization and standardization, and unannounced inspection will become the norm. The authors systematically analyzed three main trends of MIF unannounced inspections, namely, gradually increasing intensity, constantly innovating methods, and increasingly serious consequences. The problems exposed in unannounced inspections were sorted out from five dimensions: form of results, severity, scope of attribution, subjective intention, and regulatory screening ideas. The enlightenment of MIF unannounced inspections to hospital management was explored from four aspects: compliance awareness, organizational system, fine management, and daily supervision. It was proposed that public hospitals should transform their roles and positions, improve the working mechanism of departmental collaboration, and achieve fine management in policy understanding, system formulation, process design, information support, data governance, regulatory implementation, personnel training, and performance matching. At the same time, internal simulated unannounced inspections in hospitals should be regarded as a routine work.

Hypothyroxinemia is a common subclinical thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women. Epidemiological studies have shown that the offspring of maternal hypothyroxinemia have a significantly increased risk of autism, but mechanisms remain unclear. Studies from clinical and animals suggest that thyroid hormone deficiency may lead to irreversible damage to brain development, which may contribute to autism. This review explores the clinical evidence of gestational hypothyroxinemia and autism in offspring and the underlying mechanisms that promote the development and progression of autism. It also emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease in pregnancy for the prevention of neurodevelopmental abnormalities in offspring.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological features of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in Beijing, and monitor the sequence variations in RSV glycoprotein (G) gene and clinical features of infected children.Methods:Respiratory tract specimens were collected from children with acute respiratory infection in the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. RSV-positive specimens screened by multiple nucleic acid testing were subjected to PCR to amplify the full-length RSV G gene. A phylogenetic tree was constructed after gene sequencing to analyze RSV subtypes and trace G gene variants. Clinical data were retrieved from the medical record system to analyze the clinical features of children with RSV infection in Beijing.Results:A total of 5 489 respiratory specimens were collected from 3 046 male patients and 2 443 female patients. The average age of the patients was 4.36 years. A total of 589 RSV-positive specimens (10.7%, 589/5 489) were detected with 349 from male patients and 240 from female patients. The average age of children with RSV infection was (2.51±2.78) years and the median age was 0.48 years. RSV had been circulating among children in Beijing since March 2023 with two epidemic peaks in May (24.6%, 122/496) and December (18.2%, 126/693). The predominant subtype of RSV in the first half of 2023 was subtype A, but it was replaced by subtype B from November 2023. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a novel G gene of RSV subtype B (RSV-B-BA9-954bp) with a length of 954 bp, which belonged to a new cluster in the phylogenetic tree. The percentage of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was higher in children with new variant of RSV subtype B infection than in those with common RSV subtype B infection [44.1% (15/34) vs 25.2% (31/123), χ 2=4.600, P=0.032], while the counts of white blood cells and the levels of C-reactive protein were lower in the children with new variant infection ( P<0.05). Conclusions:RSV has been prevalent among children in Beijing since March 2023 with two epidemic peaks. The predominant A subtype is gradually replaced by to B subtype. A new variant of RSV B G gene (RSV-B-BA9-954bp) is detected among the children.

OBJECTIVE：To investigate the effects of dihydroartemisinin （DHA）on the metabolism of amino acid metabolites in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells Huh 7 and BEL- 7402，and to provide theoretic basis for clarifying the mechanism of DHA regulating the metabolism of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. METHODS ：CCK-8 method was taken to detect the effect of different concentrations of DHA （12.5，25，50，100 µmol/L）treating for 24，48，72 h on the two kinds of cells. Two kinds of cells were divided into control group and administration group （DHA，25 µmol/L），and then cultured with drug-free or drug-containing medium for 24 h，operated in parallel for three times. After derivatization of cell samples in each group ，GC-MS method was used to detect the content of amino acid metabolites ，combined with SIMCA-P software analysis and compound library comparison ，the differential metabolites in two kinds of cells were screened out. The pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolism was conducted with Metaboanalyst 4.0 software. RESULTS ：Compared with control group ，the contents of glutamine ，glutathione， phenylalanine，fumaric acid and taurine were trending down in Huh 7 or BEL- 7402 cells. There were 28 and 29 differential metabolites obtained from the above two kinds of cells ，and 10 of them were common differential metabolites ，including glutamine，glutathione，taurine，fumaric acid ，phenylalanine，etc. The differential metabolites were enriched in 8 and 6 pathways respectively. The common enrichment pathways were amino acid-tRNA biosynthesis ，aspartate-alanine-glutamate metabolism ， nitrogen metabolism ，phenylalanine metabolism and pentose phosphate pathway ，etc. CONCLUSIONS ：DHA can significantly reduce the activities of Huh 7 cells and BEL- 7402 cells，and the contents of glutamine ，glutamic acid ，glutathione and phenylalanine，etc. It may regulate the growth of the two kinds of cells by influencing the mechanism of aspartic acid- alanine-glutamate metabolic pathway ，etc.
