Objective: To analyze the association between each regional fat mass and total body bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents aged 7-17 years in Beijing, so as to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for implementing interventions. Methods: From September to December 2020, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 423 children and adolescents aged 7-17 years in Tongzhou District, Beijing. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was employed to measure regional body composition and total body BMD. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the association between regional fat mass and total body BMD. Results: The median (interquartile range) fat mass values for total body, upper limbs, abdomen, hips, and thighs were 13.51(8.84, 19.21), 1.59(1.08, 2.23), 0.73(0.39, 1.29), 2.32(1.46, 3.26), 5.29(3.59, 7.21)kg, respectively. After adjusting for covariates, the results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that total body fat mass (β=0.010), abdominal fat mass (β=-0.100), and hip fat mass (β=0.104) were significant associations with total body BMD (all P<0.01). Sexstratified analysis revealed that in boys, total body fat mass (β=0.008) and hip fat mass (β=0.058) were positively associated with BMD, while thigh fat mass (β=-0.038) showed a negative association with total body BMD (all P<0.05). In girls, total body fat mass (β=0.013), hip fat mass (β=0.163), and thigh fat mass (β=0.023) were positively associated with total body BMD, whereas abdominal fat mass (β=-0.196) showed a negative association with total body BMD (all P<0.05). Among children and adolescents with body fat percentage below the standard range, within the standard range and above the standard range, total body fat masses were positively associated with total body BMD (β=0.021, 0.016, 0.015); among children and adolescents with body fat percentage within the standard range while upper limb (β=-0.042), abdominal (β=-0.067), and thigh fat mass (β=-0.018) showed negative associations with total body BMD, and hip fat mass demonstrated a positive association with total body BMD (β=0.082) (all P<0.05). Conclusion Regional fat distribution is associated with total body BMD in children and adolescents, with the nature of these associations varying by sex and body fat percentage.

Morbidity and mortality conferences are clinical teaching activities that aim to prevent the occurrence or recurrence of medical errors, assure and improve the quality of healthcare, and enhance the clinical competency of medical students. At present, most teaching hospitals in China do not regularly carry out such teaching activities or organize them improperly and thus fail to achieve the desired effect. This study introduces morbidity and mortality conferences into the clinical teaching of nephrology and aims to systematically analyze the potential factors causing adverse events, summarize related experience, and formulate improvement measures, so as to maintain medical safety and improve medical service. Meanwhile, results from the questionnaires completed by medical students who attended the conferences showed that such clinical teaching activities might help to enhance the core competency of medical students. Therefore, active construction and continuous improvement of morbidity and mortality conferences have an important significance for the high-quality development of healthcare system and medical education in China.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of brain dynamic activity in patients with schizophrenia by using functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI).Methods:Forty-three patients with schizophrenia and 31 normal controls were recruited and under fMRI scanning.The Positive and Negative Symptom Scale(PANS)was used to assess the severity of clinical symptoms.The DPABI software were used to compute dReHo and dFC.Granger causality analysis was used to calculate the effective connectivity between the significant brain regions of dReHo and the whole brain.Two sample t-test was performed to compare the difference of dReHo and dFC be-tween patients with schizophrenia and normal controls.Results:The dReHo of left postcentral gyrus(LPG)(P＜0.01,cluster-level FWE corrected)in patients with schizophrenia was decreased.The Dfc was increased between left postcentral and left middle frontal gyrus,left superior medial frontal gyrus,right calcarine,left medial cingulum gyrus,right supplementary motor area(P＜0.01,uncorrected).Compared with normal controls,patients with schiz-ophrenia showed decreased effective connectivity from LPG to right putamen.Conclusion:It suggests that the ab-normal functional activity of the postcentral gyrus mightcontribute to the neural physiopathology in patients with schizophrenia.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of forkhead box K1 (FOXK1) in acute kidney injury (AKI), and to provide new ideas and targets for preventing and treating AKI.Methods:Three models of AKI were established: 30 male specific pathogen free wild type C57BL/6 mice aged 8-10 weeks and weighting 22-24 g were randomly divided into saline group (0.9% normal saline 0.1 ml/10 g, intraperitoneal injection), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (LPS solution 10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection), cisplatin group (cisplatin solution 20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection), ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group, and sham-operated group by the random number table, with 6 mice in each group. The mice in each group were sacrificed 24 hours after modeling to obtain experimental materials. The serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were tested to measure the renal function. HE staining was performed to observe histopathological changes of renal tissues. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of FOXK1 , kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), autophagy markers p62, Beclin1 and LC3 in renal tissues. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of Foxk1. Human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) were exposed to hypoxia for 24 h, followed by reoxygenation for 6 h to establish an in vitro AKI model induced by hypoxia reoxygenation (HR). The expression changes of the above indicators in HK-2 cells were detected. Then, Foxk1 gene deletion in renal tubular epithelial cells was performed in vivo and in vitro, and AKI models were induced to observe the expression changes of the above indicators. Results:Compared with the saline group, Scr, BUN and the protein expression level of KIM-1 were higher in LPS group and cisplatin group (all P<0.05), while FOXK1 protein and mRNA expression had no significant change (both P>0.05). Compared with the sham-operated group, Scr, BUN and the protein expression level of KIM-1 were higher, and the expression levels of FOXK1 protein and mRNA were significantly lower in the IR group (all P<0.05). FOXK1 protein and mRNA expression levels in the HR-induced AKI cell model group were lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). In the in vivo experiments, compared with the sham-operation group, the renal tubular injury was more aggravated, Scr and BUN were higher, p62 protein expression was lower, and the protein expression levels of KIM-1, Beclin1 and LC3 were higher in the IR group (all P<0.05). Compared with Foxk1 flox/flox IR goup, renal tubular injury was more alleviated, Scr, BUN and the protein expression levels of KIM-1 and p62 were lower, while the protein expression levels of Beclin1 and LC3 were higher in Foxk1 cKO IR group (all P<0.05). Compared with shCtrl HR group, shFoxk1 HR group had lower protein expression levels of KIM-1 and p62 and higher expression levels of Beclin1 and LC3 in vitro (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of FOXK1 is decreased in ischemic AKI model. Foxk1 deficiency alleviates renal tubular epithelial cell injury and protects against ischemic AKI through activating autophagy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the level of secretory curl related protein(SFRP)and the therapeutic effect of sodium hyaluronate in patients with knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods A total of 89 patients with KO A from May 2021 to June 2023 in Wenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were selected as observation group.All patients were treated with sodium hyaluronate.According to the treatment effect,they were divided into obvious/improved group and poor effect group.67 healthy examinees were selected as control group during the same period..The levels of SFRP1,SFRP2 and SFRP5 in each group were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,and the therapeutic effect of sodium hyaluronate in patients with KOA was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the evaluation efficiency of SFRP level in the treatment effect of patients with KOA.Results SFRP1,SFRP2 and SFRP5 in observation group were lower than those in control group(P＜0.05);89 patients were treated with sodium hyaluronate,and 67 patients showed good treatment outcomes(75.28％),and SFRP1,SFRP2 and SFRP5 in obvious/improved group were higher than those in poor effect group(P＜0.05).Multivariate results showed that SFRP1,SFRP2,SFRP5 and the Western Ontario and MeMaster Universities osteoarthritis index were the influential factors for the treatment effect of patients with KOA(P＜0.05).ROC curve results showed that the sensitivity and specificity of SFRP1,SFRP2 combined with SFRP5 in the treatment of KOA patients was higher than that of a single index(P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of SFRP1,SFRP2 and SFRP5 are low in patients with KOA,and their expression levels are closely related to the therapeutic effect of sodium hyaluronate.The combined determination of different indicators can improve the sensitivity and specificity of prognosis.

Objective To explore the cost structure and influencing factors of high-multiplication cases.Methods Using medical insurance settlement data from a tertiary hospital in Tianjin from April 2023 to March 2024,this study analyzes the characteristics of high-multiplication DRG cases and compares hospitalization costs between high-multiplication and normal-multi-plication patients.The grey relational analysis method is employed to assess the grey correlation between hospitalization costs and various itemized expenses for both groups.Results Significant differences were found between the high-multiplication group and the normal-multiplication group in terms of gender,age,insurance type,length of stay,base points,and all hospitalization costs except for surgical expenses(P＜0.05).Within the cost structure,drug costs from multiple DRG groups showed the strongest correlation with total hospitalization costs.Treatment costs ranked highest in overall grey correlation.Conclusion Enhancing the management of high-multiplication cases is crucial.Future efforts should focus on improving separate payment policies for high-multiplication and special cases,refining clinical pathways,standardizing medical practices,optimizing performance distribution methods,and strengthening operational management to enhance the fine management of medical insurance.

Objective:To investigate the agreement of ultrasound derived fat fraction (UDFF) with magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI PDFF) on evaluating hepatic steatosis, and the performance of UDFF on diagnosing metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).Methods:One hundred and twenty-five volunteers and one hundred and seven inpatients who underwent abdominal ultrasound examination in Zhongda Hospital Southeast University from November 2023 to February 2024 were prospectively enrolled.UDFF and MRI PDFF were applied to evaluate hepatic steatosis. Spearman correlation test and Bland-Altman plot were applied to analyze the agreement of UDFF and MRI PDFF. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was applied to calculate the performance of UDFF on diagnosing MASLD.Results:In our participants, compared to individuals without hepatic steatosis, patients with MASLD had higher body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, prevalence of diabetes mellitus, levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspertate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), triglyceride, and UDFF (all P<0.05). The percentage of hepatic steatosis measured by UDFF and MRI PDFF was strongly correlated[ρ=0.873(95% CI=0.837-0.901), P<0.001]. UDFF performed excellent for diagnosing MASLD with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.983(95% CI=0.956-0.995, P<0.001), and was better than semi-quantitative assessment based on two-dimensional ultrasound as well as ultrasound attenuation parameter. The optimal cut off value of UDFF to diagnose MASLD was ≥6%. Conclusions:The percentage of hepatic steatosis measured by UDFF and MRI PDFF agrees with each other, and UDFF obtains an excellent performance on diagnosing MASLD, so that UDFF should be considered a reliable imaging technique for quantitively evaluating hepatic steatosis and diagnosing MASLD.

Objective To summarize and analyze the preliminary clinical outcomes of the KokaclipTM transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair system for severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR). Methods This study was a single-arm, prospective, single-group target value clinical trial that enrolled patients who underwent the KokaclipTM transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system for DMR in the Department of Heart Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute from June 2022 to January 2023. Differences in the grade of mitral regurgitation (MR) during the perioperative and follow-up periods were compared, and the incidences of adverse events such as all-cause death, thoracotomy conversion, reoperation, and severe recurrence of MR during the study period were investigated. Results The enrolled patient population consisted of 14 (50.0%) females with a mean age of 70.9±5.4 years. Twenty-eight (100.0%) patients were preoperatively diagnosed with typeⅡ DMR, with a prolapse width of 12.5 (11.0, 16.1) mm, a degree of regurgitation 4+ leading to pulmonary venous reflux, and a New York Heart Association cardiac function class≥Ⅲ. All patients completed the TEER procedure successfully, with immediate postoperative improvement of MR to 0, 1+, and 2+ grade in 2 (7.1%), 21 (75.0%), and 5 (17.9%) patients, respectively. Mitral valve gradient was 2.5 (2.0, 3.0) mm Hg. Deaths, thoracotomy conversion, or device complications such as unileaflet clamping, clip dislodgement, or leaflet injury were negative. Twenty-eight (100.0%) patients completed at least 3-month postoperative follow-up with a median follow-up time of 5.9 (3.6, 6.8) months, during which patients had a mean MR grade of 1.0+ (1.0+, 2.0+) grade and a significant improvement from preoperative values (P<0.001). There was no recurrence of ≥3+ regurgitation, pulmonary venous reflux, reoperation, new-onset mitral stenosis, or major adverse cardiovascular events. Twenty-two (78.6%) patients’ cardiac function improved to classⅠorⅡ. Conclusion The domestic KokaclipTM TEER system has shown excellent preliminary clinical results in selected DMR patients with a high safety profile and significant improvement in MR. Additional large sample volume, prospective, multicenter studies, and long-term follow-up are expected to validate the effectiveness of this system in the future.

Objective:To conduct a scope review on the application of ICU diaries in critically ill patients, laying the foundation for further exploration and construction of ICU diary patterns and frameworks that were in line with the national conditions and tailored to different regions and cultural backgrounds.Methods:The Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer′s Manual was used as the methodological framework, and a computer search was conducted in nine domestic and international databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase, etc. The search period was from the inception of the databases until March 13, 2023. The included literature was screened, summarized, and analyzed.Results:A total of 19 articles were included. ICU diaries were commonly recorded using a combination of text and visuals, with the involvement of both healthcare professionals and family members. Most patients received ICU diaries approximately one month after their transfer from the ICU. Out of the 15 studies, ICU diaries were found to be effective, while 4 studies indicated no significant improvement in patients′ psychological issues. However, ICU diaries were still considered acceptable by patients and their families.Conclusions:The application of ICU diaries has shown positive significance in critically ill patients, but further research and exploration are needed to investigate its impact on issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. In the future, a combination of multiple forms and high-quality research designs with large samples, long periods, and structured approaches should be employed to explore its application effects and long-term outcomes on psychological problems.
