OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review concerning the safety of using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists （GLP-1RA） before gastrointestinal endoscopy. METHODS Chinese and English databases including CNKI， Wanfang Data， VIP， CBM， and PubMed were searched to collect systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the safety of using GLP-1RA before gastrointestinal endoscopy， with a search period from the inception to September 30， 2025. Report quality， methodological quality， risk of bias， and evidence quality were assessed using the PRISMA 2020 statement， AMSTAR 2 scale， ROBIS tool， and GRADE tool， respectively. Corrected covered area （CCA） was used to quantitatively evaluate the degree of outcome overlap， and a comprehensive quality analysis was performed on the quantitative results of systematic reviews/meta-analyses. RESULTS Ten studies were included. All 10 stu dies had some information deficiencies （15.5-19.5 points）， and were at high risk of bias； 9 studies were extremely low methodological quality， while 1 study was low. In terms of evidence quality， among 88 outcome indexes， there was 1 moderate-level index， 28 low-level indexes， and 59 extremely low-level indexes. The CCA values of the incidence of residual gastric contents， aspiration， endoscopy interruption， repeated endoscopy， inadequate bowel preparation and Boston Bowel Preparation Scale scores were 37.30%， 35.00%， 35.00%， 50.00%， 29.60% and 20.00%， respectively. Results of comprehensive quality analysis showed that compared with the control group， the incidence of residual gastric contents， endoscopy interruption and repeated endoscopy were increased significantly in the intervention group， along with a notably prolonged gastric emptying time and a significantly lower score of Boston Bowel Preparation Scale （ P ＜0.05）. However， the study results regarding the effects of GLP-1RA on the incidence of aspiration and inadequate bowel preparation were inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS The use of GLP-1RA before gastrointestinal endoscopy can increase certain safety risks， including residual gastric contents， endoscopy interruption and repeated endoscopy， prolong gastric emptying time， and reduce the quality of bowel preparation. However， the effects on aspiration and inadequate bowel preparation remain controversial. The reports included in systematic reviews/meta-analyses exhibited low quality in reporting， methodology and evidence， with high risk of bias. Therefore， conclusions should be interpreted with caution.

Background The quality of occupational health technical services is directly linked to the protection of workers' health rights and the efficacy of occupational disease prevention and control. However, the industry still faces critical challenges: sporadic instances of institutional non-compliance and persistent irregularities in professional practice continue to undermine overall service performance. Objective To assess the current quality status of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province and propose countermeasures for quality improvement, providing a scientific basis for policy optimization and service delivery quality enhancement. Methods A total of 69 occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province that obtained formal accreditation as of April 30, 2024, were sampled, including 3 public institutions and 66 private institutions (comprising 3 formerly Class-A, 28 formerly Class-B, 11 formerly Class-C, and 24 newly certified institutions). Following the Technical Protocol for Quality Monitoring of Occupational Health Technical Service in Zhejiang Province and the Technical Protocol for Proficiency Testing of Occupational Health Detection in Zhejiang Province, a quality assessment task force comprising national and provincial experts was established. Evaluation was conducted across four dimensions: qualification maintenance and compliance, standardization of technical services, authenticity of technical services, and proficiency testing, utilizing a combination of document review, on-site inspections, and technical skill assessments. Results The occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province were predominantly private entities (82.5%), with significant disparities in overall service quality. The pass rates for qualification maintenance and compliance, technical service standardization, technical service authenticity, and the excellence rate for laboratory proficiency testing were 81.5%, 80.7%, 97.3%, and 90.4%, respectively. Regarding qualification maintenance, the pass rates for "environmental conditions" (49.8%, 56.7%) and "instrumentation and equipment" (58.2%、65.6%) were significantly lower for formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions compared to other categories. In terms of technical standardization, "standardized on-site inspections" recorded the lowest pass rate (67.4%), with newly certified institutions at only 48.0%. Regarding technical service authenticity, formerly Class-C institutions exhibited issues such as missing raw chromatograms for blank samples (85.7% pass rate). In laboratory proficiency testing, public and formerly Class-A institutions achieved 100% excellence rates, but the performance of formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions was comparatively weak; specifically, the failure rate for organic analysis in formerly Class-C institutions reached 20%; the failure rate for dust testing items in newly certified institutions was 10.3%. Conclusion The overall quality of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province still requires significant improvement, particularly in basic institutional conditions, the standardization of on-site inspections, and laboratory proficiency in organic and dust analysis. Formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions should be the primary focus of quality management efforts. Differentiated regulatory strategies are recommended, alongside strengthening interim and ex-post supervision to gradually enhance the quality of occupational health technical services across all institutions.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of Huangqi granules on hair growth in mice with seborrheic alopecia based on Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 （MyD88） signaling pathway. METHODS Male mice were randomly divided into control group， model group， inhibitor group （treated with 0.3 mg/kg TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242）， Huangqi granules group （treated with 1.0 g/kg Huangqi g ranules） and Huangqi granules+activator group （treated with 1.0 g/kg Huangqi granules combined with 2.5 mg/kg TLR4 activator lipopolysaccharide）， with 12 mice in each group. Except for the control group， the seborrheic alopecia model of mice in other groups was induced by applying rosin-paraffin mixture on the back and injecting testosterone propionate subcutaneously. After modeling， mice in each group were given intragastric administration and intraperitoneal injection of corresponding drugs or （and） normal saline once a day for 20 consecutive days. The time of skin color transition and hair emergence time were compared among those groups. After the last medication， the length of newly-grown hair， serum levels of immune factors [interferon-γ （IFN-γ）， interleukin-4 （IL-4） ] and sex hormones [testosterone （T）， dihydrotestosterone （DHT） ] ， as well as the levels of hair growth factors [insulin-like growth factor 1 （IGF-1）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， transforming growth factor-β 1 （TGF-β 1 ） ] in the dorsal skin tissue were measured in each group. Pathological changes and cell apoptosis of hair follicle tissue were observed， and the protein expressions of TLR4 and MyD88 in the dorsal skin tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group， hair follicle cells in the model group were irregular in size， disordered in arrangement， and showed a significant reduction in melanin content. The time of skin color transition， hair emergence time， the levels of IFN-γ， T， DHT and TGF-β 1 ， the apoptosis rate of hair follicle cells， as well as the protein expressions of TLR4 and MyD88 in the model group were significantly prolonged/increased/up-regulated， while the length of newly-grown hair， the number of hair follicles， and the levels of IL-4， IGF-1 and VEGF were significantly shortened/reduced/decreased （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the morphological structure of hair follicle tissue in the Huangqi granules group and inhibitor group was significantly restored， and the above quantitative indicators were significantly improved （ P ＜0.05）. Moreover， the effects of the two groups were comparable （ P ＞0.05）. The TLR4 activator could significantly reverse the improvement effect of Huangqi granules on the above indicators in mice with seborrheic alopecia （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Huangqi granules can regulate immune function， reduce hair follicle cell apoptosis， and promote hair growth in mice with seborrheic alopecia， which may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/MyD88 signaling pathway activation.

BackgroundMigrant children face many challenges in the process of social change and adaptation to a new environment， especially in school adaptation. Studies have shown that peer attachment plays a vital role in the social adaptation of children and adolescents， while psychological resilience and sense of security， as important psychological resources， also play a moderating and mediating role in individuals' coping with environmental changes. However， there is a lack of systematic research on how peer attachment affects the school adaptation of migrant children through psychological resilience and whether this process is moderated by sense of security. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between peer attachment and school adaptation of migrant children and to examine the path of psychological resilience and sense of security in it， so as to provide references for improving the school adaptation of migrant children. MethodsUsing cluster sampling method， 695 migrant children in grades 4 to 6 of a primary school in an urban-rural fringe area of Sichuan Province were selected from April 1 to 30， 2022. Assessments were conducted using Revised Inventory for Parent and Peer Attachment （IPPA-R）， Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents （RSCA）， Scale of Sense of Security of Children Left Behind （SSSCLB） and Scale of School Adjustment of Student （SSAS）. Process 4.1 was used to examine the role of psychological resilience and sense of security. ResultsA total of 631 （90.79%） valid questionnaires were gathered. There were significant positive correlations among IPPA-R peer attachment subscale score， RSCA score， SSSCLB score and SSAS score （r=0.160~0.600， P<0.01）. Peer attachment had a significant positive predictive effect on the school adaptation （β=0.178， P<0.01） and psychological resilience （β=0.518， P<0.01） of migrant children. Psychological resilience had positive predictive effect on the school adaptation （β=0.467， P<0.01）. Psychological resilience played a partial mediating role in the relationship between peer attachment and school adaptation， with the mediating effect value was 0.242 （95% CI： 0.184~0.302）， accounting for 57.62% of the total effect. Moreover， the interaction term between psychological resilience and sense of security had a significant predictive effect on school adaptation （β=0.103， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe psychological resilience of migrant children plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between peer attachment and school adaptation， and the status of sense of security can moderate the relationship between psychological resilience and school adaptation of migrant children.

OBJECTIVE: To explore clinical efficacy of tibial transverse transport (TTT) combined with debridement in treating necrotizing fasciitis of the lower extremities. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 31 patients with necrotizing fasciitis of the lower extremities who were treated with TTT from January 2021 to October 2023, including 28 males and 3 females, aged from 44 to 76 years old with an average of (57.58±8.79) years old. In-hospital mortality rate, amputation rate, length of hospital stay, hospitalization cost, number of surgeries, and inflammatory indicators before and after operation (white blood cells, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, albumin), as well as wound healing and daily living ability were observed and compared. RESULTS: All 31 patients were followed up for 3 to 12 months with an average of (6.61±2.46) months. All patients' wounds healed without recurrence. The wound healing time was (4.96±2.61) months, amputation rate of 31 patients was 3.22% (1/31), in-hospital mortality rate was 0%, the length of hospital stay was (27.10±24.51) days, the hospitalization cost was (107, 300 ± 83, 300) yuan, and the number of surgeries was (3.26±1.93) times. White blood cells, C-reactive protein and albumin before operation were (13.41±5.54) ×10⁹/L, (136.67±73.50) mg·L^-1 and (25.92±5.59) g·L^-11 respectively, and improved to (11.05±3.65) ×10⁹/L, (79.91±51.40) mg·L^-1, and (30.31±4.02) g·L^-1 at 2 weeks after operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in hemoglobin before and after operation (P>0.05). At the latest follow-up, 16 patients were able to take care of themselves, 12 patients were partially self-sufficient, and 3 patients were completely unable to take care of themselves. CONCLUSION TTT with debridement could achieve satisfactory clinical efficacy in treating necrotizing fasciitis of the lower extremities.

OBJECTIVES: To summarize the clinical manifestations and genetic characteristics of creatine deficiency syndrome (CDS) caused by GAMT gene mutations. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and genetic data of two children diagnosed with GAMT deficiency-type CDS at the Children's Medical Center of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, from December 2020 to December 2024. RESULTS: The two patients presented with symptoms in infancy, and both had compound heterozygous mutations in the GAMT gene. Case 1 exhibited seizures and intellectual disability, while Case 2 had intellectual disability and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy of cranial MRI in both patients indicated reduced creatine peaks. After creatine treatment, seizures in Case 1 were controlled, but both patients continued to experience intellectual disabilities and behavioral issues. As of December 2024, a total of 21 cases have been reported in China (including this study), and 115 cases have been reported abroad. All patients exhibited developmental delay or intellectual disabilities, with 66.9% (91/136) experiencing seizures, 33.8% (46/136) presenting with motor disorders, and 36.8% (50/136) having behavioral problems. Seventy-five percent (102/136) of patients received creatine treatment, leading to significant improvements in seizures and motor disorders, although cognitive improvement was not substantial. CONCLUSIONS GAMT deficiency-type CDS is rare and presents with nonspecific clinical features. Timely diagnosis facilitates targeted treatment, which can partially improve prognosis.

OBJECTIVES: To summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of epilepsy with intellectual disability caused by SETD1B gene variants in children. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of three children with SETD1B gene variants diagnosed and treated at the Department of Pediatric Neurology of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. Relevant literature was reviewed to summarize the clinical characteristics of this condition. RESULTS: All three children presented with symptoms during infancy or early childhood, including mild intellectual disability and myoclonic seizures, with two cases exhibiting eyelid myoclonia. After treatment with three or more antiepileptic drugs, two cases achieved seizure control or partial control, while one case remained refractory. Each of the three children was found to have a heterozygous variant in the SETD1B gene (one deletion, one frameshift, and one missense variant). To date, 54 cases with SETD1B gene variants have been reported, involving a total of 56 variants, predominantly missense variants (64%, 36/56). The main clinical manifestations included varying degrees of developmental delay (96%, 52/54) and seizures (81%, 44/54). Among the 44 patients with seizures, myoclonic (20%, 9/44) and absence seizures (34%, 15/44) were common, with eyelid myoclonia reported in six cases. Approximately one-fifth of these patients had poorly controlled seizures. CONCLUSIONS The primary phenotypes associated with SETD1B gene variants are intellectual disability and seizures, and seizures exhibit distinct characteristics. Eyelid myoclonia is not uncommon.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of avatrombopag in promoting platelet engraftment after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in children, compared with recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 53 pediatric patients who underwent allo-HSCT at the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from April 2023 to August 2024. Based on medications used during the periengraftment period, patients were divided into two groups: the avatrombopag group (n=15) and the rhTPO group (n=38). RESULTS: At days 14, 30, and 60 post-transplant, platelet engraftment was achieved in 20% (3/15), 60% (9/15), and 93% (14/15) of patients in the avatrombopag group, and in 39% (15/38), 82% (31/38), and 97% (37/38) in the rhTPO group, respectively. There were no significant differences between the two groups in platelet engraftment rates at each time point, cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment, overall survival, and relapse-free survival (all P>0.05). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis indicated that acute graft-versus-host disease was an independent risk factor for delayed platelet engraftment (P=0.043). CONCLUSIONS In children undergoing allo-HSCT, avatrombopag effectively promotes platelet engraftment, with efficacy and safety comparable to rhTPO, and represents a viable therapeutic option.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression levels of EZH2 and KMT2D in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and their relationship with pathological features. METHODS: 84 patients with DLBCL treated in our hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the study subjects, and clinical characteristics such as sex, age and pathological classification of the patients were collected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detecet the expression of KMT2D and EZH2 proteins in tumor tissue cells of the DLBCL patients. The differential expression of KMT2D and EZH2 in subgroups of different sexes, ages, primary sites, clinical stages, Hans subtypes, etc. were compared. The correlation between the expression of KMT2D and EZH2 protein and BCL-6, CD79A was analyzed and validated through the interaction of protein molecular structures. We followed up and recorded the survival status of the patients for 12 months, and analyzed the factors that affect the mortality of DLBCL patients. RESULTS: The positive rate of KMT2D and EZH2 was high (over 95%) in DLBCL patients. There was no significant difference in the expression of EZH2 and KMT2D among subgroups of different sexes, ages and stages (P >0.05). However, patients with different levels of BCL-6 and CD79A expression showed differences in EZH2 and KMT2D expression (P < 0.05). EZH2 and KMT2D were positively correlated with BCL-6 (r =0.391, r =0.332) and CD79A (r =0.309, r =0.258), respectively, and there were interactions in the protein molecular structures. The risk factors for mortality in DLBCL patients include male sex (OR =1.106, 95%CI : 1.082-1.130, P < 0.001), stage II (OR =1.778, 95%CI : 1.567-2.016, P < 0.001), stage IV (OR =2.233, 95%CI : 2.021-2.467, P < 0.001), EZH2 positive (OR =2.762, 95%CI : 1.304-5.850, P =0.008), BCL-6 positive (OR =7.309, 95%CI : 1.340-39.859, P =0.022), age≥74 years (OR =3.080, 95%CI : 1.658-5.723, P < 0.001), and 63-73 years old (OR =2.400, 95%CI : 1.564-3.682, P < 0.001), while KMT2D positive (OR =0.180, 95%CI : 0.054-0.608, P =0.006) and 41-51 years old (OR =0.406, 95%CI : 0.274-0.603, P < 0.001) were factors which could reduce the risk of mortality. CONCLUSION EZH2 and KMT2D are highly expressed in patients with DLBCL, and they are positively correlated with BCL-6 and CD79A, and affect the prognosis of DLBCL patients.
