Biliary atresia is a progressive disease involving the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. At present, the widely used treatment strategy is portojejunostomy (Kasai procedure). However, fat-soluble vitamin deficiency is common in children with biliary atresia, leading to growth retardation and malnutrition, which further affects the therapeutic effect prognosis of children. This article reviews the etiology, performance, prevention and treatment of fat-soluble vitamins deficiency in children with biliary atresia.

Objective To construct a comprehensive cost management index system for public hospitals.Methods Literature review,policy analysis,and the Delphi expert consultation method were used to establish the index system.Data from a tertiary grade A public hospital in Beijing from 2019 to 2024 were analyzed.Results The response rate for both rounds of expert consultation was 100％,indicating high expert engagement.The average authority level of the experts was 0.905.x2 tests of Kendall's W coefficient for the importance,operability,and sensitivity of the indicators yielded P＜0.001.A comprehensive cost management system comprising 5 dimensions and 13 indicators was established.Conclusion The constructed comprehensive cost management index system for public hospitals is scientifically sound and highly reliable.It enables effective cost control,risk warning,and continuous improvement,laying a solid foundation for the comprehensive advancement of cost management efforts.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disorder of immune and microbial dysregulation, induced by environmental factors in a genetically predisposed individual. Studies on IBD-associated genes have demonstrated that Paneth cells (PC) are central to the pathogenesis of IBD, especially in the development of Crohn′s disease (CD). The morphology, quantity and function of PC are easily affected by susceptible genes. In the intestine, PC participate in the formation of stem cell niche and secrete antimicrobial particles, which plays a vital role in regulating intestinal microbiota and maintaining intestinal mucosal homeostasis. Meanwhile, the proliferation and maturation of PC are also dependent on the symbiotic microbiota in the intestine. This review focuses on the interaction of susceptible genes, PC and intestinal microbiota, as well as their influence on the occurrence and development of IBD.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the different dose of perindopril on cardiac function in the rabbits with ische-mic cardiac dysfunction .METHODS:Male rabbits weighing 2.5~3.0 kg ( n=30) were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=10):high dose perindopril group (HD group), low dose perindopril group (LD group) and cardiac dysfunction group (CD group).The Left anterior descending coronary artery of the rabbits was ligatured for model preparation .In HD group, the rabbits were treated with perindopril split normal saline solution (1 g/L)2 mL· kg-1 · d-1 .In LD group, the rabbits were treated with perindopril split normal saline solution (0.33 g/L)2 mL· kg -1 · d-1.In CD group, the rabbits were treated with normal saline solution 2 mL· kg-1 · d-1 .Four weeks after treatment , the cardiac function was measured via echocardiography , the mRNA expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ( ACE2 ) and angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) was analyzed by real-time PCR, serum angiotensin (Ang)-(1-9) and Ang-(1-7) levels were detected by ELISA. RESULTS:Compared with CD group , the cardiac function of the 2 groups treated with perindopril was significantly im-proved (P<0.01), and more improvement in HD group was observed than LD group (P<0.05).The serum angiotensin ( Ang)-(1-9) and Ang-(1-7) level and the mRNA expression of ACE 2 and AT2R in the 2 groups treated with perindopril were significantly improved (P<0.01).Compared with LD group, the mRNA expression of ACE2 and AT2R and the ser-um levels of Ang-(1-9) in HD group were significant improved (P<0.05), while no difference of serum Ang-(1-7) level was observed.Correlation analysis revealed that the improvement of the cardiac function was associated with serum Ang -(1-9) level, mRNA expression of ACE2 and AT2R (P<0.01), but has no significant correlation with serum Ang-(1-7) lev-el.CONCLUSION:High dose of perindopril may improve more cardiac function in ischemic cardiac dysfunction model in rabbits.The mechanism may relate to increasing serum Ang-(1-7) level to activate AT2R.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effects of transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( BMSCs) modified by bcl-2 gene on myocardial cell apoptosis, angiogenesis and cardiac function in the rabbit after acute myocardial in-farction ( MI) .METHODS:The rabbit BMSCs were isolated, cultured and purified in vitro.The BMSCs were transfected with adenovirus or adenovirus-Bcl-2.The rabbit model of MI was established by ligation of left anterior descending branch. The rabbits were injected with Ad-Bcl-2-BMSCs ( MI+Bcl-2-BMSCs group) , Ad-BMSCs ( MI+BMSCs group) and DMEM ( MI group) in infarction marginal zone 2 weeks after ligation.The cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography.The apoptosis of myocardial cells was measured by TUNEL.The mRNA expression of VEGF was detected by real-time PCR.The expression of CD31 was examined by immunohistochemical staining, and new blood capillaries were counted at 4 weeks after BMSCs transplantation.The correlation of the above values with cardiac function was analyzed.RESULTS: The cardiac function was better, the apoptotic rate was lower, the mRNA expression of VEGF and the capillary density were higher in both MI+Bcl-2-BMSCs group and the MI+BMSCs group than those in MI group, and those in MI+Bcl-2-BMSCs group in-creased more obviously .The left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) had a negative correlation with the myocardial cell ap-optosis rate.A positive correlation with the mRNA expression level of VEGF and the capillary density was also observed. CONCLUSION:The transplantation of BMSCs modified by bcl-2 gene significantly reduces the myocardial cell apoptosis, promotes angiogenesis, improves heart function of the rabbits with MI.

Objective To explore the significance of gene mutations of cystathionine ? synthase (CBS) 844ins68,methione synthase (MS) A2756G and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T in patients with unexplained repeated spontaneous abortion(URSA). Methods The genotypes of CBS,MS and MTHFR in 50 patients and 56 healthy controls were determined by PCR-based assay and their restricted enzyme digested maps were analyzed. Results Allelic frequency of MTHFR 677C→T mutations in URSA patients was obviously higher than those in controls (24.0% vs 7.1%). The frequency of allelic mutations was elevated in the URSA group comparing with the control (26.0% vs 17.9%). No significant difference was shown in the frequency of CBS and MS mutations between the two groups. Conclusions The MTHFR 677 C→T mutation is associated with URSA. CBS and MS mutations might not be an independent risk factor for URSA.
