Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs)refer to a group of metabolic disorders caused by congenital enzyme deficiencies. This group of diseases are characterized by abnormal glycogen metabolism. Most subtypes can lead to increased glycogen accumulation in tissues of the liver, muscles, kidneys etc. GSD type Ⅰ (GSDⅠ) is the most common type of the liver glycogen storage diseases that are caused by a deficiency in glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver, kidneys, and intestines. This typle has two subtypes: type Ⅰa and type Ⅰb(GSDⅠb). Recently, research into the molecular mechanisms of GSD Ⅰb made further progress, leading to significant improvements in clinical diagnosis and the new treatment methods based on the pathogenesis. This article summarizes the current research status of diagnosis and screening, molecular genetic mechanisms, and treatment of GSD Ⅰb. The article also points out the opportunities, the challenges and future possibilities.

Objective To establish testing and evaluation methods for radiation shielding performance of a self-shielded radiotherapy system by measuring the radiation levels around the self-shielded head and neck radiotherapy system. Methods A total of 14 monitoring points were selected outside the restricted zone of the system. Under radiation conditions from five different fixed directions, an ion chamber survey meter was used to measure and identify the maximum ambient dose equivalent rate at the 14 points. The time-averaged dose rate was then calculated based on the workload. In accordance with relevant radiation protection standards, an instantaneous dose rate of 10 μSv/h and a time-averaged dose rate of 2.0 μSv/h were proposed as the criteria for shielding protection evaluation. Results Based on the ambient dose equivalent rates at the 14 monitoring points outside the restricted zone, the maximum instantaneous dose rate outside the restricted zone was 7.4 μSv/h. With a workload of 15 patients per day, the maximum time-averaged dose rate was 1.0 μSv/h, which can be used as the criteria for shielding protection evaluation. Conclusion By considering both instantaneous dose rate and time-averaged dose rate, a comprehensive safety assessment of the radiation shielding performance of a self-shielded radiotherapy system can be conducted.

Glycogen storage disease type Ⅰb（GSD Ⅰb）is an autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by abnormal glycogen metabolism.The clinical manifestations include signs of metabolic abnormality of the typical GSD I，and the patients with GSD Ⅰb also have neutropenia and symptoms including recurrent infection，oral and intestinal mucosal ulcers，inflammatory bowel diseases and autoimmune thyroiditis.However，the detailed mechanism of GSD Ⅰb has not been clarified.Treatment with sodium-dependent glucose transporters 2（SGLT2）inhibitors improves both neutropenia and neutrophil function through reducing 1，5-anhydroglucitol（1，5-AG）in plasma，as well as alleviates the related clinical symptoms，so SGLT2 inhibitors are increasingly used in the treatment of GSD Ⅰb.Here it reviews the neutropenia mechanism and recent advances in animal-based research and clinical application of SGLT2 inhibitor therapy for GSD Ⅰb.

Objective:To investigate the safety, efficacy and effective dose of empagliflozin in the treatment of glycogen storage disease type Ⅰb (GSD Ⅰb).Method:This was a cross sectional study. A total of 28 children with GSDⅠb who started oral empagliflozin treatment from January 2021 to June 2023 in the WeChat group of patients with glycogen storage disease were selected as the study objects. Clinical data such as general situation, current situation of medication and adverse reactions of the children were collected through questionnaires from June 18 to 30, 2023. The differences of symptoms and laboratory tests before and after empagliflozin treatment were compared by using paired chi-square test and Wilcoxon signed rank sum test.Results:Totally 28 children with GSD Ⅰb were from 12 different provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China. There were 14 males and 14 females. Empagliflozin treatment was started at the age of 4.8 (2.4, 10.8) years, the time of treatment was 14.5 (11.3, 21.5) months, the initial dosage was (0.23±0.11) mg/(kg·d), and the maintenance dosage was (0.28±0.12) mg/(kg·d). Empagliflozin showed positive effects on neutropenia, severity of inflammatory bowel disease like symptoms( Z=-3.70 , -2.65, both P<0.05), The proportion of recurrent oral ulcers, recurrent bacterial infections and anemia was significantly lower than that before medication (18% (5/28) vs. 46% (13/28), 14% (4/28) vs. 46% (13/28), 21% (6/28) vs. 46% (13/28), χ2=4.05, 5.26, 3.05 , all P<0.05). Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) was once used in 5 children with GSD Ⅰb, all of them had completely stopped GCSF after empagliflozin treatment. The most common adverse events during empagliflozin treatment were hypoglycemia (5 children) and urinary infection (3 children). All 28 patients had no serious adverse reactions. Conclusions:Empagliflozin can increase the neutrophil count of children with GSD Ⅰb, and had a favorable effect on symptoms such as recurrent oral ulcers, and recurrent infection. The common adverse events during empagliflozin treatment were hypoglycemia and urinary infection.

Objective To investigate the effects of CeO2 NP subacute exposure on body weight,organ structures,and redox indicators in male mice.Methods Thirty-five male ICR mice were randomly divided into five groups with seven mice in each group.Normal control and CeO2 NP(100,500,1000 and 5000 μg/kg)groups were included.Mice were injected with CeO2 NPs intraperitoneally every other day for 28 days.Results Compared with the control group,no significant difference was found in weight gain(P>0.05),but significant differences were observed in the liver coefficient,epididymal coefficient,and sperm survival rate(P<0.01).In the 5000 μg/kg group,CeO2 NPs were deposited in the liver and spleen,and granuloma was found SOD and GSH-Px activities in serum of the 100 μg/kg group were increased,while MDA content was decreased,which indicated the antioxidant effect of CeO2 NPs.With the increase in dose,oxidative stress induced by CeO2 NPs was enhanced.Conclusions Low-dose-CeO2 NPs are safe and exert an antioxidant effect.With the increase in dose,the toxicity of CeO2 NPs also increases gradually.

Objective:To investigate the association between ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) colonization in the respiratory tract and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in extremely preterm or extremely low birth weight infants.Methods:This was a retrospective study involving preterm infants with gestational age <28 weeks or birth weight <1 000 g who was hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital from June 2019 to March 2022. Respiratory tract secretion was collected for UU DNA detection within 24 h after admission. All the participants were divided into the UU-positive or negative groups based on the detection results. Clinical characteristics of the two groups were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U, t-, or Chi-square tests (Fisher exact test). Results:A total of 82 infants were enrolled, including 31 cases (37.8%) in the UU-positive group and 51 patients (62.2%) in the negative group. Among the 30 cases treated with azithromycin in the positive group, 27 (90.0%, 27/30) turned negative after two courses of treatment. The rates of premature rupture of membranes [51.6% (16/31) vs 17.6% (9/51), χ2=10.50] and prenatal antibiotic exposure [71.0% (22/31) vs 47.1% (24/51), χ2=4.47] in the UU-positive group were both higher than those in the UU-negative group (both P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that premature rupture of membranes ( OR=5.893, 95% CI: 2.016-17.228) and gestational age ( OR=0.663, 95% CI: 0.441-0.999) were independent risk factors for UU colonization (both P<0.05). UU-positive group had a longer duration of oxygen use [ M ( P25- P75), 1 756 h (1 385-2 088 h) vs 1 357 h (1 128-1 656 h), Z=2.98], a longer length of hospital stay [81 d (70-105 d) vs 68 d (59-84 d), Z=3.05], and higher hospitalization costs [(201 574±70 326) yuan vs (161 288±53 412) yuan, t=－2.74] compared to the UU negative group (all P<0.05). The incidence of BPD [74.2% (23/31) vs 47.1% (24/51), χ2=5.80] and retinopathy of prematurity [93.4% (29/31) vs 74.5% (38/51), χ2=4.68] in the UU positive group was higher than those in the UU-negative group (both P<0.05). No significant correlation was found between UU colonization and the severity of BPD ( P>0.05). Conclusion:UU colonization may increase the incidence of BPD, but there was no clear correlation with the severity of BPD.

Objective To explore the feasibility of quartz glass for radiotherapy dosimetry through the experimental study of the thermoluminescence characteristics of synthetic quartz glass. Methods The thermoluminescence glow curves of quartz glass under different annealing conditions were analyzed, the thermoluminescence characteristics of quartz glass were studied, and the measurement parameters were optimized. Using the Co-60 reference radiation field in the National Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory, the quartz glass samples under different annealing conditions were irradiated following the dose levels of radiotherapy, i.e., 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, and 10.0 Gy, respectively. According to the relationship between the absorbed dose of quartz glass and the relative thermoluminescence signal intensity, the linearity and dispersion of the dose response of quartz glass were obtained, and the feasibility of quartz glass for radiotherapy dosimetry was analyzed. Results The linear correlation coefficient of dose response of quartz glass under annealing condition of 430℃ for 10 min was 0.9984, and the dose response dispersion was 0.97% at the absorbed dose of 2 Gy. The linear correlation coefficient of dose response of quartz glass under annealing condition of 600℃ for 1 h was 0.9911, and the dose response dispersion was 1.4% at the absorbed dose of 2 Gy. Conclusion Preliminary results suggest that quartz glass with annealing condition of 430℃ for 10 min has the potential to be used for radiotherapy dosimetry.

Objective To calculate the energy dependence of absorbed dose in EBT3 film, and to reveal the error in the measurement of proton absorbed dose by EBT3 film. Methods Beam energy was gradually increased in the clinical photon and proton energy ranges. Geant4 was used to calculate the difference in absorbed dose between EBT3 film and the same volume of water. The results were compared with the theoretical values. Results For photons and protons, the thresholds for absorbed dose with energy dependence were 100 keV and 11 MeV, respectively. The energy dependence was consistent with the theoretical values when the photon and proton energies were higher than the corresponding thresholds, and irrelevant to the theoretical values when energies were lower than the thresholds. The differences between the proton Bragg peak and 50% dose point and the actual positions were less than 1%. Conclusions For protons and photons with high energy, the energy dependence of absorbed dose in EBT3 film is negligible. For protons and photons with low energy, EBT3 film shows very different energy dependence of absorbed dose, which should be taken into consideration. The proton Bragg peak and 50% dose point measured by EBT3 film are basically the same as the actual positions.
