In order to investigate the effect of SIRT2 on tight junctions and endoplasmic reticulum stress in liver tissues of cold-treated mice,10 each of 5-week-old male C57BL/6 mice and SIRT2 knockout mice were selected and randomly divided into the wild-type room-temperature control group(WT Control),the wild-type cold-treated group(WT Cold),the SIRT2 knockout+room-temperature control group(KO Control)and SIRT2 knockout+cold treatment group(KO Cold).Mice in the room-temperature control group were kept at a temperature of(24+2)℃,and the cold-treatment group was placed in a(4+2)℃ artificial climate chamber for 3 h of random stimu-lation per day for 3 weeks.H&E staining,Masson staining,and transmission electron microscopy were employed to examine the microscopic and ultrastructural changes in mouse liver;AST and ALT concentrations in mouse serum were detected by biochemical analyzers;Western blot analysis was used to detect the expressions of tight junction-related proteins(Claudin1,Occludin),endo-plasmic reticulum stress-related proteins(GRP78,CHOP,XBP1,p-eIF2α,eIF2α),and pro-inflam-matory cytokines(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6).The results showed that compared with WT Control,the liver lobular structure of WT Cold and KO Control mice was unclear,hepatic cord arrangement was disordered,cytoplasm was loose,white vacuoles appeared,a small amount of collagen deposi-tion and fibroplasia,mitochondria were slightly swollen in hepatocytes,and endoplasmic reticulum was unevenly distributed,while the serum concentrations of AST and ALT were increased(P＜0.050,P＜0.010),and the liver tissues showed decreased protein expression of Occludin and Clau-din1(P＜0.050,P＜0.010,P＜0.001),and increased protein expression of GRP78,CHOP,XBP1,p-eIF2α/eIF2α,TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β(P＜0.050,P＜0.010,P＜0.001);compared with the KO Control,KO Cold mice showed a large number of white vacuoles,a small number of balloon-like lesions,inflammatory cell infiltration,obvious collagen deposition and fibroplasia,mitochondrial swelling in hepatocytes,mitochondrial ridge reduction,endoplasmic reticulum thickening,and ser-um AST and ALT concentrations increased(P＜0.010),and in liver tissue,the protein expression of Occludin and Claudinl decreased(P＜0.010),while the protein expression of GRP78,CHOP,XBP1,p-eIF2α/eIF2α,TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β increased(P＜0.050,P＜0.010,P＜0.001).The re-sults showed that SIRT2 knockdown could aggravate the liver tissue tight junction damage caused by cold treatment,induce endoplasmic reticulum stress,and further promotes the inflammatory re-sponse.

Objective:To investigate the mode and timing of delivery in pregnant women with complex fetal congenital heart disease (CHD) detected by prenatal ultrasound.Methods:The clinical data of 123 fetuses with complex CHD detected by prenatal ultrasound in Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Pregnant women with indications for prenatal diagnosis underwent G-banding karyotype analysis, single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP arrry) or whole exome sequencing after informed consent. Integrated managements were provided for pregnant women with complex CHD during pregnancy and perinatal period, and to determine the mode and timing of delivery. Infants with complex CHD received timely treatment or referral after birth.Results:The gestational age at ultrasound diagnosis of the 123 fetuses with complex CHD was (23.7±3.4) weeks. There were 11 cases (8.9%) of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), 14 cases (11.4%) of anomalous pulmonary valve (PVA), 7 cases (5.7%) of right ventricle double outlet (RVDO), 13 cases (10.6%) of anomalous aortic arch, 69 cases (56.1%) of transposition of the great arteries (TGA), 9 cases (7.3%) of other types. All cases were treated with fetal preservation after prenatal consultation. Among the 72 cases undergoing prenatal diagnosis, 9 cases (12.5%) had chromosomal variations. Fifty-five cases (44.7%, 55/123) underwent trial of labor, of which 46 cases (37.4%, 46/123) had successful vaginal delivery, including 6 cases of forceps delivery, and other 9 cases of failed trial of labor transferred to cesarean section. A total of 77 cases of pregnant women underwent cesarean section. Except for the 21 cases of pregnant women who asked for cesarean section, the cesarean section rate of pregnant women with complex CHD was 45.5% (56/123), which was not significantly different from the average cesarean section rate of the same period in our hospital (40.2%; χ2=7.34, P=0.270). The gestational age at delivery of the 123 fetuses with complex CHD was (37.9±1.4) weeks, the birth weight of the neonates was (3 099±480) g, and the umbilical artery blood pH value was 7.31±0.05. The oxygen saturation of 86 cases before and after alprostadil infusion were (72.8±6.0)% and (80.5±5.0)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.38, P<0.001). One hundred and fourteen children underwent surgical treatment, 112 of them (98.2%) had good postoperative reexamination. Only 2 cases (1.8%) died after surgery, and 14.0% (16/114) had the possibility of secondary surgery. Conclusions:Fetal complex CHD is not an indication for cesarean section, and the delivery mode could be selected according to the obstetric situation. If the mother and child are in stable condition, the delivery is planned after 39 weeks of gestation. For children with low oxygen saturation after birth, alprostadil could be pumped to maintain the open ductus arteriosus, and timely referral to the pediatric cardiac surgery for subsequent surgical treatment, which could achieve a good prognosis.

In order to investigate the effect of SIRT2 on tight junctions and endoplasmic reticulum stress in liver tissues of cold-treated mice,10 each of 5-week-old male C57BL/6 mice and SIRT2 knockout mice were selected and randomly divided into the wild-type room-temperature control group(WT Control),the wild-type cold-treated group(WT Cold),the SIRT2 knockout+room-temperature control group(KO Control)and SIRT2 knockout+cold treatment group(KO Cold).Mice in the room-temperature control group were kept at a temperature of(24+2)℃,and the cold-treatment group was placed in a(4+2)℃ artificial climate chamber for 3 h of random stimu-lation per day for 3 weeks.H&E staining,Masson staining,and transmission electron microscopy were employed to examine the microscopic and ultrastructural changes in mouse liver;AST and ALT concentrations in mouse serum were detected by biochemical analyzers;Western blot analysis was used to detect the expressions of tight junction-related proteins(Claudin1,Occludin),endo-plasmic reticulum stress-related proteins(GRP78,CHOP,XBP1,p-eIF2α,eIF2α),and pro-inflam-matory cytokines(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6).The results showed that compared with WT Control,the liver lobular structure of WT Cold and KO Control mice was unclear,hepatic cord arrangement was disordered,cytoplasm was loose,white vacuoles appeared,a small amount of collagen deposi-tion and fibroplasia,mitochondria were slightly swollen in hepatocytes,and endoplasmic reticulum was unevenly distributed,while the serum concentrations of AST and ALT were increased(P＜0.050,P＜0.010),and the liver tissues showed decreased protein expression of Occludin and Clau-din1(P＜0.050,P＜0.010,P＜0.001),and increased protein expression of GRP78,CHOP,XBP1,p-eIF2α/eIF2α,TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β(P＜0.050,P＜0.010,P＜0.001);compared with the KO Control,KO Cold mice showed a large number of white vacuoles,a small number of balloon-like lesions,inflammatory cell infiltration,obvious collagen deposition and fibroplasia,mitochondrial swelling in hepatocytes,mitochondrial ridge reduction,endoplasmic reticulum thickening,and ser-um AST and ALT concentrations increased(P＜0.010),and in liver tissue,the protein expression of Occludin and Claudinl decreased(P＜0.010),while the protein expression of GRP78,CHOP,XBP1,p-eIF2α/eIF2α,TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β increased(P＜0.050,P＜0.010,P＜0.001).The re-sults showed that SIRT2 knockdown could aggravate the liver tissue tight junction damage caused by cold treatment,induce endoplasmic reticulum stress,and further promotes the inflammatory re-sponse.

Abstract Prevention and control of myopia requires comprehensive measures. Based on the system established earlier, the system is revised and upgraded. The original system emphasizes comprehensive measures and proposes to focus on both the symptoms and root causes. These measures are summarized into six aspects, three address the root cause measures including health education, glasses optics and visual environment, and three address symptoms measures including eye exercises, physical therapy and drugs. The paper is comprehensively supplemented and analyzes the primary and the secondary, and promotes physical therapy from treating the symptoms to treat both the symptoms and the root causes. These improvement measures will help promote the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of high-intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)and drug con-servative treatment on the treatment of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ cesarean scar pregnancy(CSP).Methods:A retrospec-tive analysis was performed on 191 patients diagnosed with type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ CSP by ultrasonography and trea-ted in Mianyang Central Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021,and they were divided into drug group(n=67)and HIFU group(n=124)according to different treatment methods before curettage surgery.After receiv-ing conservative drug treatment or HIFU treatment,preformnegative pressure suction curettage under ultrasound monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the two pretreatment methods.Results:There were no sig-nificant differences in age,number of cesarean sections,gestational age,the maximum diameter of the gestational sac,number of incision pregnancies,the β-hCG level before pretreatment,the heart tube pulse in the gestational sac,size of fetal bud,and fertility requirements between the medication group and HIFU group(P＞0.05).The proportion of type Ⅱ incision in HIFU group was higher than that in drug group(P＜Q.05).There were no signifi-cant differences between the two groups in intraoperative bleeding,treatment outcome effective rate after pretreat-ment,postoperative vaginal bleeding duration,postoperative uterine cavity residual,rate of reoperation and rate of repregnancy(P＞0.05).There were statistical differences between the two groups in the operation time of curet-tage surgery,whether the operation method was changed after pre-treatment,total hospital stay,β-hCG recovery time and hospitalization cost(P＜0.05).Following up to November 2022,there were 12 cases re-pregnancies in the drug group and 16 cases re-pregnancies in the HIFU group.Conclusions:For type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ CSP,HIFU pretreatment before negative pressure suction curettage under ultrasound monitoring is a safe and effective treat-ment,which improves the treatment effect and reduces the hospitalization time of patients.It may be an effective clinical therapy for type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ CSP treatment.

Objective:To explore the effects of the γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA) neurons and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons of the nucleus accumbens (NAc)-lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) neural pathway on the rewarding feeding(palatable food sweat condensed milk) in the obesity rats.Methods:Total 142 male Wistar rats of SPF grade were divided into normal diet (ND) group ( n=68) and high-fat diet induced obesity (DIO) group ( n=74) according to the principle of body mass matching. The rats in the two groups were given normal diet and high-fat diet for 8 weeks. Eight weeks later, 6 DIO rats were randomly selected to observe the nerve projection from GABA neurons in NAc to MCH neurons in LHA by fluorogold retrograde tracing combined fluorescence immunohistochemistry. And the expressions of c-Fos and MCH in LHA after ingestion of sweet condensed milk(rewarding feeding) were observed by fluorescence immunohistochemistry (6 rats in each group). GABA receptor agonist Musimol or GABA receptor antagonist Bicuculine was microinjected into the nucleus of LHA to observe the effect of GABA on rewarding food intake in ND and DIO rats ( n=8 in each group), and the changes of rewarding food intake after blocking MCH signal ( n=8 in each group). SPSS 17.0 was used for statistical analysis, two-way ANOVA and post hoc Bonferroni test were used for comparison among multiple groups, and t-test was used for comparison between two groups. Results:After 8 weeks of high-fat diet modeling, the intake of delicious food in DIO rats was significantly higher than that in ND rats((12.52±2.29) mL, (7.45±1.23) mL, t=4.778, P<0.01) after satiety.The results of fluorogold retrograde tracing combined with fluorescence immunohistochemistry showed that GABA neurons in NAc projected nerve fibers to neurons in LHA, and GABA A receptors in some neurons in LHA coexisted with MCH.The results of NAc-LHA pathway on delicious food intake showed that the interaction between rat group and drug intervention was significant( F=9.869, P<0.01). Simple effect analysis showed that the intake of delicious food after microinjection of Musimol into LHA nucleus of ND rats was significantly lower than that of microinjection normal saline ((4.25±1.38) mL, (7.29±1.49) mL, P<0.01), while the intake of delicious food after injection of Bicuculine was significantly higher than that of microinjection normal saline((10.72±2.11) mL, (7.29±1.49) mL, P<0.05). The intake of delicious food after microinjection of Musimol into LHA nucleus in DIO group was significantly lower than that of microinjection normal saline((3.51±1.77)mL, (13.68±2.95) mL, P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between microinjection Bicuculine and microinjection normal saline ((14.83±3.44) mL, (13.68±2.95) mL, P>0.05). The results of blocking MCH signal on delicious food intake showed that the interaction effect between SNAP-94847 and Bicuculine intervention was not significant ( F=1.468, P>0.05). The main effect of SNAP-94847 intervention was significant ( F=15.880, P<0.01)and the main effect of Bicuculine intervention was significant ( F=6.930, P<0.05). After intracerebroventricular injection of MCH receptor blocker SNAP-94847, the delicious food intake of ND rats was significantly less than that of injection normal saline((4.78±1.72) mL, (7.63±2.77) mL, P<0.05), and it was not affected by pre injection of Bicuculine in LHA ((6.24±2.18) mL, (4.78±1.72) mL, P>0.05). In the DIO rats, the interaction effect between SNAP-94847 and Bicuculine intervention was not significant( F=0.006, P>0.05). The main effect of SNAP-94847 intervention was significant ( F=18.46, P<0.01) and the main effect of Bicuculine intervention was not significant ( F=2.059, P>0.05). After intracerebroventricular injection of MCH receptor blocker SNAP-94847, the delicious food intake of DIO rats was significantly lower than that of injection normal saline((6.89±2.11) mL, (12.19±4.36) mL, P<0.05), and it was not affected by pre injection of Bicuculine in LHA ((8.72±2.26) mL, (6.89±2.11) mL, P>0.05). Conclusion:GABAergic signal in NAc can regulate the expression of MCH in neurons of LHA. In the DIO rats, the sensitivity of MCH neurons in LHA to satiety signal decreases and the hedonic feeding increases.

Objective: To explore prevalence of childhood neglect and autonomic nervous function, and its association in sixth graders students in Harbin, and to provide clues to improve physical and mental health of children and adolescents. Methods: Cluster sampling method was used to select 1 259 students from grade 6 in 5 schools in two districts of Harbin, and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF) and TOHO University Medical Index (TMI) were filled in. Results: The total rate of childhood neglect was 45.7%, of which the rate of emotional neglect and physical neglect were 18.8%, 40.8%. The rate of autonomic nerves disorder was 47.2%. The rate of autonomic nerves disorder in students suffered from neglect, emotional neglect, physical neglect are higher than those without any of neglect(χ2=50.52, 32.02, 43.61, P<0.01), and with the increase of the degree of neglect, the rate of autonomic nervous disorder were gradually increasing(χ2=47.99, 47.07, 49.24, P<0.01). After controlled for gender, neglect, emotional neglect, physical neglect were positively associated with autonomic nerves disorder(OR=1.53-2.34, P<0.05), and the odd ratio for autonomic nerves disorder among those with mild-to-moderate,moderate-to-severe and extremely servere neglect was 1.37, 1.83, 5.10 compared to those with none or mild neglect. Conclusion Childhood neglect is closely related to adolescent the autonomic nerves disorder in sixth graders students in Harbin. Moreover, the more serious the childhood neglect is, the higher the detection rate of autonomic nerves disorder is. In order to improve the physical and mental health of children and adolescents, it is necessary to pay attention to childhood neglect and early assessment of their autonomic function.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of interrupted of the inferior vena cava with azygous continuation and the prognosis.Methods Retrospective analysis of 21 fetuses diagnosed with interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation among 28 567 pregnant women who underwent routine ultrasound scan.The clinical data,ultrasonographic features,genetic information and prognosis were collected. Results Interrupted of the inferior vena cava with azygous continuation occurred in 21(0.07%, 21/28 567)of 28 567 patients.Three fetuses(14%,3/21)complicated with heart and extracardiac malformations, including endocardiac cushion defect,single atrium and single ventricle,double superior vena cava,dextrocardia, asplenia syndrome,visceral heterotaxy,duodenal atresia;six fetuses(29%,6/21)were associated with cardiac anomalies, such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome, double outlet right ventricle, pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect,persistent left superior vena cava,endocardiac cushion defect and transposition of the great arteries;six cases(29%,6/21)were only combined with extracardiac malformations,includingasplenia syndrome, visceral heterotaxy, duodenal atresia. Three fetuses (14%,3/21) were nonorganic abnormalities included thickening of the right ventricle wall, fetal bradycardia, pericardial effusion, hydrops abdominis, increased peak systolic velocity/end diastolic velocity and single umbilical artery.Three fetuses(14%,3/21) were isolated interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation,but without other anomalies and 2 of them had normal fetal karyotype.Five cases(24%,5/21)were successfully vaginal delivery,1 case(5%,1/21) had cesarean section. After 12-40 months follow-up, we didn′t obeserve obviously abnormality, nor any chromosomal abnormality.Ten patients(48%,10/21)opted for termination of the pregnancy and the autopsies were not done.Five cases(24%,5/21)were lost to follow up.Conclusions Interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation are associated with cardiovascular and extracardiac anomalies, cardiac malformation and visceral heterotaxy are the most common anomalies. Visceral heterotaxy should be considered and fetal karyotype should be suggested. In the cases of isolated interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation and normal karyotype,the outcome is favorable.
