ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between the non-fasting triglyceride and glucose （TyG） index and hyperglycemia in pregnancy during the third trimester in high altitudes. MethodsThis study selected clinical and laboratory data of 774 Tibetan singleton pregnant women who delivered at Chaya People's Hospital of Qamdo city in Xizang autonomous region， from January 2023 to April 2025. The non-fasting TyG index was calculated from non-fasting triglyceride （TG） and random plasma glucose （PG）. Based on the tertiles of the non-fasting TyG index values， the individuals were split into three groups （corresponding to non-fasting TyG index of 8.89 and 9.21， respectively）. The baseline clinical characteristics， lipid levels and the occurrence of developing hyperglycemia in pregnancy were compared among the three groups. Statistical analyses were performed using ANOVA， Kruskal-Wallis H test， Chi-square test， or Fisher exact test and the relationship between the non-fasting TyG index and hyperglycemia in pregnancy were examined using multivariate logistic regression models and curve fitting. ResultsA total of 774 Tibetan singleton pregnant women were included， with a average age of 27.3 ± 6.1 years， a pre-delivery body mass index （Pre-BMI） of （25.2±2.3）kg/m² ， a proportion of 26.7% （207/774） primigravid women， the mean non-fasting TyG index was 9.1 ± 0.4。Thirty pregnant women were diagnosed with hyperglycemia in pregnancy， with a detection rate of 3.9% （30/774）. Statistically significant differences in serum total cholesterol （TC）， TG， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） levels were identified when comparing different non-fasting TyG groups （all P values <0.05）. Subsequent trend test analysis indicated that the levels of TC， TG， LDL-C， and PG gradually increased with elevated the non-fasting TyG index （ F_{trend TC}=95.61， P<0.001； F_{trend TG}=1 051.91， P<0.001； F_{trend LDL-C} = 97.20， P < 0.001； F_{trend TG}=195.20； P<0.001）. After adjustment for maternal age， pre-delivery BMI， altitude， TC， LDL-C， and HDL-C， multivariate Logistic regression models revealed independent positive associations between non-fasting TyG index and hyperglycemia in pregnancy （Model 1： OR=2.72， 95% CI： 1.13-6.53， P=0.026； Model 2： OR=2.56， 95% CI： 1.01-6.50， P=0.048； Model 3： OR=2.72， 95% CI： 1.06-6.97， P=0.037； Model 4： OR=4.02， 95% CI： 1.42-11.40， P=0.009） and the incident of hyperglycemia in pregnancy showed an increasing tendency as increasing with the non-fasting TyG index， however， this association did not statistical significance （P _trend >0.05）. Curve fitting by restricted cubic splines （RCS） were used to assess linearity between non-fasting TyG and hyperglycemia in pregnancy， and there was a linear dose-response relationship between non-fasting TyG and hyperglycemia in pregnancy （P _{for non-linear} = 0.515）. ConclusionNon-fasting TyG index in the third trimester is a risk factor for hyperglycemia in pregnancy among the Tibetan singleton pregnant women at high altitudes and there was a possible linear dose-response relationship between the non-fasting TyG index and hyperglycemia in pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: There are few multi-city studies on the association between temperature and mortality in basin climates. This study was based on the Sichuan Basin in southwest China to assess the association of basin temperature with non-accidental mortality in the population and with the temperature-related mortality burden. METHODS: Daily mortality data, meteorological and air pollution data were collected for four cities in the Sichuan Basin of southwest China. We used a two-stage time-series analysis to quantify the association between temperature and non-accidental mortality in each city, and a multivariate meta-analysis was performed to obtain the overall cumulative risk. The attributable fractions (AFs) were calculated to access the mortality burden attributable to non-optimal temperature. Additionally, we performed a stratified analyses by gender, age group, education level, and marital status. RESULTS: A total of 751,930 non-accidental deaths were collected in our study. Overall, 10.16% of non-accidental deaths could be attributed to non-optimal temperatures. A majority of temperature-related non-accidental deaths were caused by low temperature, accounting for 9.10% (95% eCI: 5.50%, 12.19%), and heat effects accounted for only 1.06% (95% eCI: 0.76%, 1.33%). The mortality burden attributable to non-optimal temperatures was higher among those under 65 years old, females, those with a low education level, and those with an alternative marriage status. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that a significant association between non-optimal temperature and non-accidental mortality. Those under 65 years old, females, and those with a low educational level or alternative marriage status had the highest attributable burden.

Objective To construct the competency and professional activities of pediatric rehabilitation therapists in China based on World Health Organization rehabilitation competency framework(RCF). Methods Competencies,activities,and tasks in the field of pediatric rehabilitation were collected through literature,offi-cial websites and interviews with key informants using RCF.Competency requirements suitable for pediatric re-habilitation therapists were selected,competency dimensions and activities were adjusted based on the context of pediatric rehabilitation therapy.Similar content was integrated through thematic framework analysis and content analysis.Competencies were matched with typical professional activities.A competency framework and profes-sional activities for Chinese pediatric rehabilitation therapists were developed,and the Delphi method was used to survey 22 experts,ultimately confirming competency dimensions and activity content. Results The enthusiasm coefficient of experts was 88.00%,the authority coefficient was 0.84,and the expert opinions were more focused on importance.The CV values of all competency dimensions and activities were≤0.25,and the W test was statistically significant(P<0.05),indicating a high degree of coordination among experts.A com-petency framework for pediatric rehabilitation therapists in China,included 17 competency dimensions and 17 professional activities. Conclusion To explore the competency of typical professions through RCF may enhance the application of research re-sults in the field of rehabilitation,which provides a reference for clarifying the job content and cultivating the competency of Chinese pediatric rehabilitation therapists.

Objective To investigate the current situation of competency and professional activities of pediatric rehabilitation thera-pists in Jiangsu,Shanghai and Zhejiang. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on 168 pediatric rehabilitation therapists in Jiangsu,Shanghai and Zheji-ang,from December,2022 to February,2023,and the general information and the competency were obtained.A total of 35 pediatric rehabilitation therapists were interviewed one-on-one,from October,2022 to January,2023,using thematic framework. Results A total of 162 effective questionnaires were collected.The level of competency of pediatric rehabilitation thera-pists was(3.44±0.87);and it was higher in professional literacy(3.90±0.77)and practice(3.83±0.77),and lower in management and leadership(2.92±1.44),and research(2.14±1.64).Latent class analysis showed that the thera-pists could be divided into four categories,of which the"medium competency"accounted for the most proportion(34.57%),and"low learning and research"was the least(8.64%).The interviews identified problems of compe-tency such as maintaining communication with children's families and managing self-professional development. Conclusion Self-reported rehabilitation competency levels of pediatric rehabilitation therapists in three provinces and cit-ies are above three points in all four dimensions,except for the management and leadership dimension,where the score is below three points.

Objective:To summarize evidence for physical activity management in cancer patients based on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) approach for evidence synthesis in health care, providing a scientific basis for the clinical standardization of physical activity management in cancer patients.Methods:Literature was searched according to the "6S" pyramid model of evidence, using BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, JBI Evidence-Based Practice Database, Cochrane Library, global guideline websites, professional cancer association websites, and relevant Chinese and English databases for all evidence regarding physical activity in cancer patients. The search covered the period from February 13, 2018, to February 13, 2023. Guided by the JBI approach for evidence synthesis, two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted relevant evidence in accordance with clinical scenarios.Results:Thirty articles were included, comprising two guidelines, three expert consensuses, one evidence summary, 21 systematic reviews, and three randomized controlled trials. A total of 29 best evidence points were summarized in six aspects: benefits of physical activity, physically active people, pre-activity assessment, implementation of physical activity programs, safety monitoring of physical activity, and ongoing support strategies.Conclusions:This study supplements and updates 15 pieces of evidence based on existing evidence, ultimately forming a best evidence summary for the management of physical activity in cancer patients, providing evidence-based support for clinical management. Most evidence comes from international studies. It is recommended that Chinese researchers consider the activity ability and willingness of cancer patients when applying these findings in future research, and consider the specific clinical context, or conduct foundational research to further validate the evidence, to comprehensively improve the quality of life of cancer patients.

Objective:To summarize experience of managing adult Langerhans cell histiocytosis(LCH) in hypothalamic-pituitary region(HPR) from Shanghai Huashan Hospital.Methods:Adult HPR-LCH patients diagnosed at oar endocrinology department from January 2013 to February 2022 were included. Clinical characteristics and treatment response were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 27 adult HPR-LCH patients were included, with 14 cases involving the hypothalamus(H group) and 13 cases without(group NH). The common radiological findings included thickening of the pituitary stalk(25/27, 92.6%). At the time of diagnosis, 14 cases(51.9%) presented with panhypopituitarism, and 19 cases(70.4%) exhibited metabolic abnormalities. The group H had higher proportions of adrenal insufficiency, central hypothyroidism, panhypopituitarism, and diabetes compared to group NH(78.6% vs 23.1%; 78.6% vs 23.1%; 92.9% vs 30.8%, 35.7% vs 0%, respectively, all P<0.05). Hypothalamus syndrome was identified in 71.4%(10/14) of group H. The inital diagnosis rate was 79.2%(19/24), with 48.1% and 51.9% through biopsy of sellar and extrasellar lesions, respectively. Repeated biopsies confirmed the diagnosis in 25.9%(7/27) of cases. The peripheral lesions included bone, thyroid, lung, lymph node, thymus and liver. Out of 20 cases treated with chemotherapy, the objective response rate was 85% at 12 weeks. Four cases received local therapy, one case received traditional Chinese medicine treatment, one case abandoned treatment, and one case was lost to follow-up. The median follow-up time was 28(range 15 to 54) months. During this period, there were 3 deaths in group H and 1 death in group NH. Conclusion:Adult HPR-LCH patients presented with diabetes insipidus and high prevalences of hypopituitarism, hypothalamus syndrome and metabolic abnormalities. Typical imaging features were pituitary stalk thickening. A solitary mass in the HPR was usually very small, posing a great challenge for early diagnosis. Systemic evaluation would help to clarify the diagnosis. Patients with hypothalamus involvement had a higher mortality rate, suggesting the hypothalamus as a risk organ with poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of circ RNA in the pathogenesis of epilepsy.Methods In this study,circRNA expression profiles in peripheral venous blood of epileptic patients and healthy controls were studied by using circRNA gene chip technology,and differentially expressed circrnas were screened.Bioinfor-matics databases such as circPrimer,circMir and TargetScan were used to analyze its possible role in epilepsy and adenovirus vector was constructed.Thirty male adult C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group,empty vector group and circ_0017178 overexpressed group(10 mice/group).Normal saline,empty plasmid ade-novirus vector and circ_0017178 overexpressed adenovirus vector were injected into the hippocampus of the three groups respectively.The change of animal behavior of mice in each group was observed after the establishment of pentetrazole epilepsy model,and the apoptosis of hippocampal tissue cells of mice in each group was analyzed by Tunel staining.Results The results of gene microarray showed that circ_0069272,circ_0033065,circ_0017178,circ_0073442,circ_0033063 and circ_0049415 in epilepsy group were up-regulated significantly compared with the control group.And circ_0083773,circ_0088262,circ_0016396 decreased significantly.Circ_0017178 might be the most associated with epilepsy.Through bioanalysis,circ_0017178 might regulate 39 epilepsy genes by combi-ning 20 miRNA and possess potential m6A,IRES and ORF1 binding sites.In the experiment of pentatetrazole epi-leptic mice,compared with the empty carrier group and the control group,the latency period of epilepsy in the circ_0017178 overexpression group was shortened(P＜0.05),the seizure time was prolonged(P＜0.05),and the seizure frequency increased(P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance between the empty carrier group and the control group(P＞0.05).In animal experiments,compared with the empty vector group and the control group,the apoptosis degree of hippocampal tissue of epileptic mice in the circ_0017178 overexpression group sig-nificantly increased(P＜0.05),but there was no statistical significance between the empty vector group and the control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Circ_0017178 significantly increases in the expression profile of peripher-al blood mononuclear cells in patients with epilepsy,which may act as a"molecular sponge"of miRNA in epilepsy and has the potential of m6A methylation and protein translation.Circ_0017178 may increase the susceptibility and severity of epilepsy by promoting apoptosis in penetetrazole epileptic mice.

To analyze the clinical features and genetic variants of a child with type 4 familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD4) and the initial manifestation of diabetes.The male patient with the age of 13 years and 5 months, and the diabetes course was about 3 years, the patient was admitted to Children′s Hospital of Soochow University on November 10, 2021(4 th hospitalization at the hospital), in the course of diabetes, the children repeatedly suffered from diabetes ketoacidosis, and lipid metabolism complications gradually emerged.The gene sequencing showed that the proband and his mother carried dual gene mutations of PLIN1 c. 1325delG(p.G442Afs*99) and SPINK1 c. 194+ 2T>C(p.? ). The PLIN1 gene was the causal gene of FPLD4.The mutations of c. 1325delG in the PLIN1 gene had not been previously reported.Based on the clinical phenotype, family history and genetic testing findings, the patient was diagnosed as FPLD4.In addition, the mutation of SPINK1 c. 194+ 2T>C(p.? ) might increase the risk of chronic pancreatitis.This case report enriched the clinical characteristics and genotype data of FPLD4.Gene sequencing assisted the accurate diagnosis of the type of diabetes.The effects of dual gene mutations on disease progression should be concerned, which were of great significance to develop treatment regimen and disease management.

  Objective  To analyze the clinical characteristics of thyroid LCH to enhance understanding of the disease.  Methods  We retrospectively studied the clinical data from six thyroid LCH patients who hospitalized in Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from January 2015 to January 2022.We analyzed the ultrasound and ¹⁸F FDG-PET/CT imaging characteristics of thyroid LCH.  Results  The six patients diagnosed (2 males and 4 females) were between 18 and 58 years old.All patients had diabetes insipidus.MRI revealed thickened pituitary stalk.Two cases had central hypothyroidism, while four cases euthyroidism.Three cases tested positive for thyroid antibodies.Ultrasound showed thyroid nodules of TI-RADS 3 in three cases, TI-RADS 4 in two cases, and 1 with nodular goiter.Ultrasound showed that all sic cases indicated low echogenicity, 5 of which clear boundaries, 4 of which uneven echo distribution, 5 of which irregular shape, and noen has calcification.¹⁸F FDG-PET/CT indicated high uptake nodules with SUVmax values all above 10.4 cases were diagnosed by surgical excision and the other 2 by coarse-needle aspiration biopsy.When diagnosed, two cases had liver and thymus involvement respectively.One case had lung and bone involvement respectively.After treatment, 4 cases showed that nodular goiter shrank, while the other two with liver involvement progressed fast and no assessment made.  Conclusions  Thyroid LCH presented low echogenicity, clear boundaries, irregular shape, without calcification, and high uptake in ¹⁸F FDG-PET/CT.A definite diagnosis of pituitary stalk thicking accompanied by thyroid nodules, especially those with hypoechoic and irregular nodules, can be achieved by coarse-needle aspiration biopsy and langerin-specific pathological staining.
