Objective: To evaluates the association between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and offspring risk of metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), providing theoretical evidence for early life MASLD prevention. Methods: An online search was conducted across ten databases (CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PROSPERO, PQDT Global, ScienceDirect) for research literature on the association between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and the development of MASLD in offspring, with the search period spanning from January 2014 to December 2024. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed study quality. Statistical analysis was performed using R 4.3.3. Results: Ten studies involving 10 229 participants were included, comprising 4 cohort studies and 6 case control studies. Cohort studies showed that maternal overweight and obesity significantly increased offspring MASLD risk ( RR=1.59, 95%CI=1.06-2.39, P <0.05), with moderate heterogeneity ( I 2=56.9%, P =0.07). Case control studies indicated a positive association between maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy and offspring risk of MASLD( OR=2.00, 95%CI=1.68-2.39, P < 0.05), with low heterogeneity ( I 2=48.8%, P =0.08). Conclusions Maternal overweight/obesity during pregnancy positively correlates with offspring MASLD risk. Gestational weight management may reduce the risk.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness of the comparison between pit and fissure sealants and fluoride varnishes, as well as various types of sealants, in preventing caries on the occlusal surface of children's first permanent molars (FPM). METHODS: Conduct a comprehensive search of literature published between January 1, 1988, and May 30, 2024, in the following databases: China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, China Science Periodical Database and China Biology Medicine database. Meta-analysis and subgroup analyses were performed on the literature that met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS: A total of 5 618 pieces of literature were retrieved, resulting in the inclusion of 14 in the study. Meta-analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the efficacy between varies pit and fissure sealants compared to fluoride varnishes, and between varies types of sealants in preventing caries on the occlusal surface of children's first permanent molars within 24 months post-surgery (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Within 24 months, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of using resin-based or glass iomomer pit and fissure sealants compared with fluoride varnishes in preventing occlusal caries in FPM in children; within 24 months, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of using resin-based sealants compared with ART sealants in preventing occlusal caries in FPM in children. ART sealants are recommended over resin-based sealers for children who have no conditions for chair-side manipulation or who are poorly co-operative.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism through which calenduloside E inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cell proliferation and migration.Methods HCC cell lines HepG2 and Huh7 treated with calenduloside E were examined for changes in cell viability using CCK-8 assay and expressions of GPX4,SLC7A11,LC3,P62 and phosphorylation of Akt/mTOR using Western blotting.The effects LY294002 and Rapamycin(the inhibitor and activator of autophagy,respectively)on proliferation and migration of calenduloside E-treated HCC cells were evaluated using EdU and Transwell assays.The TCGA database was used to explore the expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 in HCC and normal liver tissues and their correlation with the patients'survival outcomes.GPX4 and SLC7A11 expressions were also detected in HCC cells and normal hepatocytes using RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Results Calenduloside E obviously inhibited the viability of HCC cells.GPX4 and SLC7A11 were highly expressed in HCC tissues and cell lines,and their expression levels were negatively correlated with the patients'survival.In HCC cell lines,calenduloside E significantly inhibited the expressions of GPX4 and SLC7A11 proteins,activated the Akt-mTOR pathway,and enhanced the expression of LC3 II.The inhibitory effect of calenduloside E on GPX4 and SLC7A11 expressions was significantly enhanced by rapamycin but attenuated by LY294002.Inhibiting the autophagy pathway obviously diminished the inhibitory effect of calenduloside E on proliferation and migration of HCC cells,while activating this pathway produced the opposite effect.Conclusion Calenduside E inhibits the proliferation and migration of HCC cells by down-regulating GPX4 and SLC7A11 expression via the autophagy pathway.

Sick sinus syndrome(SSS)refers to damage to the sinoatrial node and its surrounding tissues,which leads to excitation and conduction dysfunction of the sinoatrial node,Resultsing in arrhythmia diseases.A better understanding of the pathogenesis of SSS is required to provide a basis for its treatment,including establishing an animal model that can simulate human sinus node dysfunction.In this paper,we review the animal selection,the principles and method of modeling,and the evaluation method and detection indicators of the models,to provide a basis for further studies of the pathogenesis of SSS.

Objective:To obsere the clinical efficacy of Hall technology in the treatment of primary molar caries in children with au-tism.Methods:80 children aged 4-8 years with primary molar caries,40 normal children and 40 children with autism,with a total of 153 primary molars.The normal and the autism children were respectively divided into 2 groups(n=20)randomly.The normal children were grouped into resin filling(CR)of 38 teeth and Hall technology group(CH)of 39 teeth,the autistic children were grouped into resin filling(AR)of 37 teeth and Hall technology group(AH)of 38 teeth.Corresponding treatment was given to the pa-tients in the groups.The duration of oral treatment time,Frankl scores,Houpt scores and parental satisfaction scoves were compaired among groups.The patients were followed up for 6,12,18 and 24 months and the treatment outcomes were compared among groups.Results:There was no statistically difference between CH group and AH group in terms of operating time,compliance,Houpt score and follow-up effects(P＞0.05).The satisfaction of parents in the AR group was the lowest(P＜0.05).Hall technology treatment re-mained effective rate was higher than resin filling at the 24 month follow-up(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Hall technology is more effective than traditional resin filling in the treatment of primary molars caries in children with autism.

Objective By analyzing the prevalence pattern and drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae(CRE)infections in our hospital,we aim to provide the basis and suggestions for infection prevention and control as well as clinical management in large general hospitals.Methods A retrospective method was used to select 609 CRE strains isolated from hospitalized patients in our hospital from 2019 to 2022,and analyze their specimen sources,distribution of pathogenic bacteria,departmental distribution and drug resistance.Results A total of 6656 strains of Enterobacteriaceae and 609 strains of CRE were detected in the four years,with Klebsiella pneumoniae predominating(354 strains,58.13％),followed by Enterobacter inguinale(82 strains,13.46％)and Escherichia coli(77 strains,12.65％),and the department with the most detected CREs was the intensive care unit(ICU)(44.50％),followed by the Department of Burn Repair(13.79％),Department of Cardiac and Major Vascular Surgery(8.87％)and Department of Oncology(6.4％),and the sources of specimens were sputum(46.96％),secretions(15.60％),urine(13.30％),and blood(8.7％)in that order.The drug sensitivity results showed that the CRE strains had resistance rates＞50％to the rest of the clinically used antimicrobial drugs,except for tigecycline,polymyxin and minocycline,which were sensitive(1.31％,0.56％and 7.22％),and amikacin,fosfomycin,as well as cotrimoxazole,which had a lower resistance rate(23.65％,35.14％and 35.96％).Conclusion The overall trend of CRE detection rate in this hospital from 2019-2022 was increasing,and most of them showed multiple resistance to clinically used antibiotics,attention should be paid to strengthen the rational use of antimicrobial drugs and increase the supervision of bacterial resistance to curb the wide spread of CRE.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans ( DFSP ) is very rare in clinic, and its diagnosis is not specific. According to the literature domestic and abroad, only 18 cases of patients during gestation period suffered from DFSP have been reported. This paper reported a case from the Department of Plastic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College in April 2022 diagnosed with DFSP during pregnancy.The DFSP showed rapid growth and pain during pregnancy, and stopped rapid growth after delivery. Extensive local resection was performed and the incision margin exceeded 3 cm diameter of the tumor. One-stage skin graft was used to repair the defect. HE staining showed a single spindle cell, arranged in a vortex, with large and dark nuclei. Some nuclei were heteromorphic, and few mitotic figures were observed. Postoperative pathology showed negative margins and basement. Immunohistochemistry showed CD34 (+ + ), Ki-67 (+, 10% ), bcl-2 (-), s-100 (-), SMA (-), CD163 (-), CD68 (-), which were consistent with the diagnosis of DFSP. The pathogenesis of DFSP is not yet clear. As a special population, patients during gestation period need special treatment and diagnosis. Through literature review, this paper summarizes the reports domestic and abroad, and discusses the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients with DFSP during pregnancy.

Objective To develop a diagnostic model based on deep neural network for intelligent discrimination of thyroid function. Methods A total of 1616 patients ( 283 males, 1333 females, average age:52 years) who underwent thyroid imaging between May 2016 and June 2018 were selected. According to the clinical diagnosis, the 1616 cases included 299 normal thyroid cases, 876 hyperthyroidism cases and 441 hypothyroidism cases. Feature extraction and learning training were performed on 1000 training set sam-ples by two deep neural network models ( AlexNet;deep convolution generative adversarial networks ( DCGAN) ) using deep learning algorithm. Performance verifications were implemented on 616 test set samples. The con-sistency between the verification results of the two models and the clinical diagnosis was analyzed by Kappa test. Meanwhile, the time advantage of the intelligent diagnosis models was analyzed. Results The average diagnostic time of AlexNet model was 1 s/case, and the classification accuracy for normal thyroid, hyperthy-roidism, hypothyroidism were 82.29％(79/96), 94.62％(369/390), 100％(130/130), respectively. The Kappa value between results of AlexNet model and clinical diagnosis was 0.886 ( P<0.05) . The average di-agnostic time of DCGAN model was 1 s/case, and the classification accuracy for normal thyroid, hyperthy-roidism, hypothyroidism were 85.42％(82/96), 95.64％(373/390), 99.23％(129/130), respectively. The Kappa value between results of DCGAN model and clinical diagnosis was 0.904 ( P<0.05) . Conclusion The deep neural network intelligent diagnosis model can quickly determine the functional status of thyroid gland in thyroid imaging, and it has a high recognition accuracy, thus providing a new method for thyroid image review.
