Objective To analyze the types and distribution of microbiome in intestinal and lung tissues of children with asthma, and to explore the correlation between microbiota changes and asthma. Methods From 2021 to 2023, a total of 28,939 children with asthma who visited Ezhou Central Hospital, Maternal and Child Health Hospital or Ezhou Egang Hospital were selected as the study subjects, and 2,000 healthy children who underwent outpatient physical examinations at these three hospitals during the same period were selected as the control group. The distribution and characteristics of intestinal and pulmonary microbiome in the two groups were analyzed by 16SrDNA sequencing. Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze the correlation between microbiota distribution and asthma occurrence. Results In the intestinal tissues of children with asthma compared to healthy children, the abundance of Bacteroidetes at the phylum level decreased, while the abundance of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria increased significantly (P<0.05), and the abundance of Prevotalle and Clostridium at the genus level increased significantly. In lung tissues of asthmatic children compared to health children, the abundance of Firmicutes at the phylum level decreased while the abundance of Proteobacteria increased significantly (P<0.05), and the abundance of Neisseria, Prevotella and Actinomyces at the genus level increased significantly. Binary logistic regression results showed that the abundances of Lactobacillus (OR=0.842, 95% CI: 0.533-0.947), Bacteroides fragilis (OR=0.649, 95%CI: 0.377-0.890), Bifidobacterium (OR=0.901, 95% CI: 0.633-0.994), and Parabacteroides distasonis (OR=0.547, 95% CI: 0.192-0.708) in the intestinal tissues were all protective factors for the asthma in children. In the lung tissue, the abundance of Neisseria (OR=2.140, 95% CI: 1.749-3.305) was a risk factor for the asthma in children, and Prevotella (OR=0.691, 95% CI: 0.491-0.926) was a protective factor for the asthma in children (P<0.05). Conclusion The dysbiosis of intestinal and pulmonary microbiome is closely related to the occurrence of asthma in children, and the detection of microbiota is of great significance for the diagnosis of childhood asthma.

Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) represents a category of malignant tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells. Given that NEC cells exhibit characteristics of both neural and endocrine cells, they can hijack neuronal signaling pathways and dynamically regulate the expression of neuronal lineage markers during tumor metastasis, thereby constructing a microenvironment conducive to tumor growth and metastasis. Conversely, alterations in the tumor microenvironment can enhance the interactions between neurons and tumor cells, ultimately synergistically promoting the metastasis of NEC. This review highlights recent advancements in the field of cancer neuroscience, uncovering neuronal lineage markers in NEC that facilitate tumor dissemination through mediating crosstalk, bidirectional communication, and synergistic interactions between tumor cells and the nervous system. Consequently, the latest findings in tumor neuroscience have enriched our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying tumor metastasis, opening new research avenues for a deeper comprehension of the complex biological processes involved in tumor metastasis, particularly brain metastasis. This review provides a comprehensive review of the crosstalk between tumor cells and neural signaling in the metastasis of NEC.

Objective:To investigate the early warning value and prognostic assessment of patients with urosepsis using white blood cells (WBC), procalcitonin (PCT), combined with T helper cell subsets type 1 (Th1) and T helper cell subsets type 2 (Th2) cytokine profiles.Methods:A retrospective selection was made of 97 patients with urosepsis admitted to Inner Mongolia University for Nationalities Affiliated Hospital from January 2019 to June 2023 as the case group. During the same period, 60 patients with simple urinary tract infections were selected as the control group, and 60 patients with simple urinary tract infections transitioning to urosepsis were collected as the transition group. The clinical data and laboratory indexes of the three groups were collected, and the differences of WBC, PCT and Th1/Th2 cytokines profiles were compared. Point-biserial correlation was used for analysis. The subject work curve (ROC) was drawn. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the early warning value of WBC, PCT and Th1/Th2 cytokines profiles in patients with urosepsis. The patients in the case group were followed up for 28 d. According to the survival outcome, they were divided into death group and survival group. The differences of WBC, PCT and Th1/Th2 cytokines profiles between the two groups were compared. Point-biserial correlation was used to assess their relationship with prognosis, and ROC curves were plotted to evaluate the predictive value of these indicators for urosepsis prognosis.Results:The levels of WBC, PCT, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in different groups of patients were compared. The case group had higher levels than the transformation group and the control group: (12.02 ± 4.11) × 10 9/L vs. (9.88 ± 3.11) and (6.25 ± 2.21) × 10 9/L, (38.52 ± 12.9) ng/L vs. (25.54 ± 10.12) and (12.53 ± 5.01) ng/L, (60.36 ± 20.62) ng/L vs. (45.21 ± 6.95) and (30.64 ± 10.65) ng/L, (25.62 ± 6.85) ng/L. vs. (22.41 ± 3.62) and (20.41 ± 5.95) ng/L, (5.81 ± 0.85) ng/L vs. (5.21 ± 0.15) and (4.71 ± 0.86) ng/L, (5.01 ± 0.62) ng/L vs. (4.51 ± 0.21) and (3.81 ± 0.54) ng/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Point-biserial correlation confirmed a positive correlation between these indicators and urosepsis ( r>0, P<0.05). ROC curves showed that WBC, PCT, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, and TNF - α had good predictive value for urosepsis, and several combinations had high predictive value, with AUC values of 0.771, 0.871, 0.823, 0.707, 0.860, 0.753, and 0.939, respectively. WBC, PCT, IL-6 and IFN-γ had good predictive value for the transition from simple urinary tract infection to urosepsis, while IL-10 and TNF-α had lower predictive value. The combined predictive value of the above indicators was the highest, with AUC values of 0.824, 0.861, 0.871, 0.869, 0.623, 0.644 and 0.965, respectively, all of which had certain predictive value. Out of 97 patients, 34 died, with a mortality rate of 35.05% (34/97). The levels of WBC, PCT, IL-6, IL-10, TNF - α, and IFN - γ in the deceased group were significantly higher than those in the survival group: (18.00 ± 6.39) × 10 9/L vs. (13.91 ± 4.51) × 10 9/L, (4.96 ± 2.17) ng/L vs. (3.41 ± 0.62) ng/L, (167.52 ± 10.52) ng/L vs. (158.61 ± 14.50) ng/L, (54.50 ± 9.51) ng/L vs. (48.42 ± 12.62) ng/L, (5.84 ± 1.21) ng/L vs. (5.10 ± 1.48) ng/L, (4.33 ± 1.82) ng/L vs. (3.54 ± 1.12) ng/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Point-biserial correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between WBC, PCT, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ and prognosis ( r>0, P<0.05). The ROC curve was drawn to show that WBC, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ had a relatively low predictive value for the prognosis of patients. PCT and the combination of various indicators had a good predictive value for the prognosis of patients, and the combined predictive value was the highest. The AUCs were 0.675, 0.687, 0.637, 0.637, 0.637, 0.727 and 0.880, respectively. Conclusions:WBC, PCT, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ are associated with urosepsis and its prognosis, and the combined predictive value is the highest.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical equivalence between a domestic calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate ointment and the originator product in the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, three-arm, parallel-group, active- and placebo-controlled study was conducted, and 449 patients aged 18 - 65 years with stable plaque psoriasis were enrolled from 25 hospitals (such as the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University). Eligible patients had a baseline physician's global assessment (PGA) score of ≥ 3 points, baseline body surface area (BSA) involvement of 5% - 30%, and a target lesion psoriasis area and severity index (TL-PASI) for plaque elevation of ≥ 3 points. Participants were randomly assigned in a 2:2:1 ratio to the test group ( n = 179), reference group ( n = 180), and placebo group ( n = 90), and applied the domestic calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate ointment, originator product, and ointment base respectively, once daily in the evening for 4 weeks. Efficacy and safety were assessed at weeks 1, 2, and 4. The primary efficacy endpoints were the treatment success rates and clinical success rates in each group at week 4. The per-protocol set (PPS) was used for the primary efficacy analysis, and the intention-to-treat (ITT) set for supplementary efficacy analysis. Equivalence between the test and reference preparations was tested using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method adjusted for randomization strata. Superiority of the test and reference preparations over the placebo was also tested. Measurement data were compared among the 3 groups using analysis of variance or non-parametric tests, while treatment success rates, clinical success rates, and incidence rates of adverse reactions were compared using the chi-square test. Results:The ITT, PPS, and safety sets included 447, 420, and 448 patients, respectively. In the ITT set, patients were aged 43.6 ± 12.8 years, including 320 (71.6%) males and 127 (28.4%) females, and the disease duration was 11.21 ± 9.05 years; 316 (70.7%) had a PGA score of 3 points and 131 (29.3%) had a PGA score of 4 - 5 points. No significant differences in the baseline characteristics (including age, sex, disease duration and disease severity) were observed among the 3 groups (all P > 0.05). Based on the PPS analysis, the treatment success rates were 57.9% (99/171) in the test group, 50.3% (86/171) in the reference group, and 7.7% (6/78) in the placebo group, and the clinical success rates were 57.9% (99/171), 50.3% (86/171), and 10.3% (8/78), respectively; both the test and reference groups were superior to the placebo group in both treatment and clinical success rates (all P < 0.001) ; the rate differences for treatment success (90% confidence interval [ CI]: -1.3% - 16.4%) and clinical success (90% CI: -1.3% - 16.3%) between the test and reference groups were entirely within the pre-defined equivalence margin (-20% - 20%). Subgroup analyses by baseline PGA scores: for patients with a baseline PGA score of 3 points, the treatment success rates in the test, reference, and placebo groups were 60.8% (73/120), 52.1% (62/119), and 11.1% (6/54), respectively, and the corresponding clinical success rates were 61.7% (74/120), 53.8% (64/119), and 13% (7/54), respectively; the test and reference groups did not differ significantly in treatment or clinical success rates (both P > 0.05), but both showed higher success rates than the placebo group (all P < 0.001) ; the results of statistical comparisons among the 3 groups in patients with a baseline PGA score of 4 - 5 points were consistent with those observed in patients with a baseline PGA score of 3 points. The percentage reductions in PGA and TL-PASI scores from baseline to weeks 1, 2, and 4 showed significant differences among the 3 groups, which were significantly higher in the test and reference groups than in the placebo group (all P < 0.001), but did not differ between the test and reference groups (all P > 0.05). The primary adverse reactions were local skin reactions, such as pruritus, pain, and erythema. The incidence rates of adverse reactions were 8.9% (16/179) in the test group, 7.3% (13/179) in the reference group, and 7.8% (7/90) in the placebo group, with no significant difference among the 3 groups ( P > 0.05) . Conclusions:The domestic calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate ointment demonstrated clinical equivalence to the originator product in the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis, and the two agents exhibited comparable efficacy for patients with varying degrees of disease severity, and were comparable in the speed and degree of clinical improvement, with similar favorable safety profiles.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of a family with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3(MODY3) and assess its association with the novel HNF1A-c.47T>A variant.Methods:A genetic pedigree of the MODY3 family was constructed, and clinical data were collected. Whole-exome sequencing combined with Sanger sequencing was used, followed for familial co-segregation analysis. Bioinformatics tools, including multiple sequence alignment–based conservation analysis and protein structural prediction, were conducted to validate the association between the novel HNF1A-c.47T>A variant and MODY3.Results:Seven MODY3 patients were diagnosed in this family, all harboring the HNF1A-c.47T>A heterozygous variant. AlphaFold2 protein structure prediction indicated that the HNF1A-c.47T>A variant altered the conformation of the first pair of α-helices within the protein dimerization domain.Conclusion:Based on co-segregation analysis, sequence conservation assessment, protein structure prediction, and classification based on American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics(ACMG) Guidelines, the HNF1A-c.47T>A variant was determined to be pathogenic for MODY3. This study reports this novel pathogenic variant, expanding the mutational spectrum of MODY3. By revealing its disruptive effect on the protein dimerization domain, the findings provide a potential molecular basis for the diagnosis and management of patients carrying similar variants.
