Objective To analyze the short-term clinical efficacy and influencing factors of ustekinumab monoclonal antibody(UST)in the treatment of Crohn′s disease(CD).Methods Retrospective cohort study was used to collect the clinical data of CD patients treated with UST in the 10th People′s Hospital affiliated to Tongji University from December 2020 to October 2022.The main analysis is the short-term clinical efficacy and influencing factors of UST treatment for CD at weeks 8 and 16,And analyze the endoscopic response rate of some patients.Results A total of 91 CD patients who first used UST were included.The 8-week clinical response rate of UST treat-ment for CD was 61.5%,and the clinical response rate was 45%;The clinical response rate at 16 weeks was 71.4%,and the clinical response rate was 54.9%.56 cases underwent endoscopic re-examination in our hospital,and the endoscopic response rate at 16 weeks was 41.1%.Univariate analysis showed that fistula(including anal fistula,personal history of anal fistula,and intestinal skin fistula)is associated with clinical remission in Crohn′s disease patients at 8/16 weeks.Further multivariate COX regression analysis showed that the presence of a history of anal fistula surgery was an independent protective factor affecting clinical remission in CD patients treated with UST at 8 weeks(HR = 0.04,95%CI:0.00～0.38;P = 0.005)and 16 weeks(HR = 0.04,95%CI:0.01～0.34;P = 0.003)compared to those without fistula;Narrow lesions are an independent risk factor for 16 week clinical remission in CD patients compared to non-narrow and non-penetrating lesions(HR = 1.75,95%CI:1.08～2.84;P = 0.023).No patients were found to have stopped medication due to serious adverse reactions.Conclusions UST can improve the clinical remission and response of CD patients at 8/16 weeks,and has good short-term clinical efficacy.CD patients with a personal history of anal fistula are recommended to use UST monoclonal antibodies,while patients with stenotic lesions should be cautious in using UST monoclonal antibodies.Whether the patient has undergone surgical treatment in the past,as well as whether UST has been used on the first or non-first line,has no significant impact on clinical remission.

Objective:To investigate the situation of continuing medical education (CME) among obstetricians and gynecologists from Beijing's general hospitals at the secondary level or above in 2018 and 2023, and to provide a reference for standardizing CME for obstetricians and gynecologists in the future.Methods:We performed questionnaire surveys and interviews with 164 obstetricians and gynecologists in Beijing to investigate the status of completion of CME, the reasons for incompletion, the preferred modes to complete CME, and the preferred contents and forms of CME. SPSS 26.0 software was used for data analysis. The rate was compared using the chi-squared test.Results:Due to the impact of coronavirus disease 2019, the 2023 survey showed that 79 (48.17%) participants completed CME in an online mode, and 76 (46.34%) participants completed CME in an mostly online mode, with a significantly increased degree of satisfaction with CME compared with the 2018 survey ( P<0.05); 49 (29.88%) participants believe that online education is superior to traditional CME, and 69 (42.07%) participants believe that online education is comparable to traditional CME. The main advantages of the online education mode are flexible time and location and cost savings. "Hoping to improve my professional level" is the main purpose to participate in CME in both 2018 and 2023 surveys [124 (75.61%) vs. 127 (77.44%)]. "Professional skills and techniques" and "New advances in the specialty" are the contents of most interest. Conclusions:Obstetricians and gynecologists should raise the awareness to participant in CME. Relevant departments should establish a standardized system and an effective supervision and management mechanism, and take flexible education modes with the use of the Internet. Online education can achieve similar teaching effects and also improve learners' satisfaction.

Objective:To explore the pregnancy outcome and postpartum clinical phenotype of LCR22B/C~D central 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.Methods:For fetuses diagnosed with central 22q11.2 deletion by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to April 2022, their prenatal imaging, parental CMA verification, pregnancy outcomes and postpartum clinical phenotype were analyzed.Results:Eight cases of central 22q11.2 deletion syndrome were included, including six cases with LCR22B~D 22q11.2 deletions and two with LCR22C~D 22q11.2 deletions. Among the six cases with LCR22B~D type 22q11.2 deletions, three had shown cardiovascular malformations (right aortic arch, ventricular septal defect, mild tricuspid regurgitation), one had shown urinary defect (right kidney heterotopia). Two cases with LCR22C~D 22q11.2 deletions showed nonspecific ultrasonographic findings, including oligohydramnios with growth restriction and nuchal skin thickening. The CMA verification showed that six cases were inherited from their parents, and five couples had chosen to continue with the pregnancy. Postpartum follow-up showed that the physical and intellectual development of all children were normal. One couple had opted to terminate the pregnancy considering the ectopic fetal right kidney. Two remaining cases had decided to terminate their pregnancies without parental verification.Conclusion:The central 22q11.2 deletion syndrome of the LCR22B/C~D type is different from the classical types. Its genetic information mainly comes from parents. Prenatal imaging has mainly shown cardiovascular and urinary abnormalities. Postnatal growth and intellectual development have been normal. Therefore, the couples should be provided with suffice prenatal genetic counseling.

Objective:To analyze ultrasonographic manifestations and genetic etiology of nine fetuses with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome.Methods:Ultrasonographic finding, pregnancy outcome and follow-up of nine fetuses detected at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The fetuses were found to harbor a duplication in the 7q11.23 region by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Among these, five had shown ventriculomegaly, including four syndromic and one non-syndromic. For the remainders, one had ventricular septal defect and mild tricuspid regurgitation, one had echogenic intracardiac focus, whilst another two were normal. Five couples had accepted parental verification, and the results confirmed that the 7q11.23 duplication carried by their fetuses were de novo in origin. Following genetic counseling, seven couples had opted to terminate their pregnancies. Two fetuses were delivered at full term, and follow-up had found no abnormalities. Conclusion:Prenatal ultrasonographic manifestations of fetuses with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome are variable. CMA can provide assistance for their diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Objective To propose a topology-optimized design method for bone plates that effectively reduces stress concentration and improves bone healing compared with traditional topology-optimized method.Methods Based on the load constraints of a bone plate in a broken bone-splint system,an improved topology optimization method based on the load path was used to optimize the design of the bone plate structure.Subsequently,a bone regeneration simulation model based on bias strain was used to simulate the transverse fracture of the tibial tuberosity,and the force state,fixation stability,and healing performance of the optimized plate were evaluated based on data from the bone regeneration process.Results Using the optimized bone plate based on the load path optimization method,the maximum stresses of the bone plate were 55.68 MPa and 42.23 MPa at volume fractions f=0.55 and 0.65,respectively,which were reduced by 32.96％and 29.95％,respectively,compared with the optimized bone plate using the traditional topology optimization method.The average elastic moduli of the callus after the bone-healing process were 1 439.47 MPa and 1 355.71 MPa,respectively.These values were 145.86％and 131.06％higher than those of traditional bone plates,respectively.Conclusions In this study,the proposed improved topology optimization method based on the load path was used to optimize bone-plate structures.Compared to the bone plate obtained using the traditional topology optimization method,the optimized bone plate was more uniformly loaded and safer.The bone-healing performance was significantly improved compared to the traditional bone plate.These results provide a new method for the optimal design of internal fixation implants for fractures.

As a highly differentiated haploid germ cell in male body, sperm is an important carrier of life genetic information transmission, and its structural integrity is the condition of normal insemination, and also the basis of normal metabolism to produce energy and complete epigenetic inheritance. Sperm metabolism is considered to be the "energy supply station" of sperm movement, which ensures the normal life activities such as spermatogenesis, maturation, over-activation and sperm-egg union. Abnormal metabolism will directly affect the sperm vitality and cause male infertility. Sperm epigenetic inheritance is a process that affects the embryonic development and reproduction of offspring through paternal inheritance, including DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling and small RNA carried by sperm and other regulatory modes, which can also affect energy production to a certain extent, thereby leading to the decline of sperm motility and male fertility. Therefore, sperm metabolism and epigenetics are inextricably related to the maintenance of sperm motility. In this paper, the structure, metabolism and epigenetic regulation of human sperm are reviewed in order to provide theoretical reference for the research on male infertility caused by abnormal sperm motility.

Various c-mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (c-MET) inhibitors are effective in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer; however, the inevitable drug resistance remains a challenge, limiting their clinical efficacy. Therefore, novel strategies targeting c-MET are urgently required. Herein, through rational structure optimization, we obtained novel exceptionally potent and orally active c-MET proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) namely D10 and D15 based on thalidomide and tepotinib. D10 and D15 inhibited cell growth with low nanomolar IC₅₀ values and achieved picomolar DC₅₀ values and >99% of maximum degradation (D_max) in EBC-1 and Hs746T cells. Mechanistically, D10 and D15 dramatically induced cell apoptosis, G1 cell cycle arrest and inhibited cell migration and invasion. Notably, intraperitoneal administration of D10 and D15 significantly inhibited tumor growth in the EBC-1 xenograft model and oral administration of D15 induced approximately complete tumor suppression in the Hs746T xenograft model with well-tolerated dose-schedules. Furthermore, D10 and D15 exerted significant anti-tumor effect in cells with c-MET^Y1230H and c-MET^D1228N mutations, which are resistant to tepotinib in clinic. These findings demonstrated that D10 and D15 could serve as candidates for the treatment of tumors with MET alterations.
