OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology for a pregnant woman with a history of multiple adverse pregnancies and assess the phenotype-genotype correlation of 22q11.2 microduplication syndrome in her family. METHODS: Amniotic fluid sample was taken from a pregnant woman for whom non-invasive prenatal screening indicated chromosome 22 abnormalities in the fetus. Peripheral blood samples from the woman, her brother and parents were collected for high-throughput low-depth whole genome sequencing (CNV-seq). A pedigree traceability analysis of the results was conducted in conjunction with analysis of clinical manifestation. Relevant literature (from establishment to March 2025) was systematically searched. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Mianyang Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (Ethics No.: Lun Shen [2024]009). RESULTS: CNV-seq revealed that the fetus had harbored a 6.02 Mb duplication at 22q11.21q11.23. Karyotyping confirmed it as 46,X?dup(22)(q11.2). Pedigree verification demonstrated that the pregnant woman, her brother and mother had all carried the same duplication. Phenotypic analysis of the affected family members showed classic features of 22q11.2 microduplication syndrome, including hypernasal speech, low nasal bridge, congenital heart disease, and cognitive impairment. A total of 44 cases with full information (including three patients from this pedigree) were included in the analysis. The penetrance of 22q11.2 duplication was approximately 29.5% (13/44), and 52.3% (23/44) of the cases had inherited the variant from a phenotypically normal parent. CONCLUSION This study has identified the genetic basis for the woman's recurrent adverse pregnancies and phenotypic abnormalities in her family members. The scoliosis identified in her younger brother has not been previously reported, thereby may enrich the clinical phenotype of this syndrome. For fetuses identified with a 22q11.2 microduplication, detailed fetal imaging is recommended, and genetic counseling should be provided to the couples.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism by which Shenfukang capsule （SFK） ameliorates renal interstitial fibrosis （RIF） by regulating macrophage-fibroblast crosstalk via the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）/Yes-associated protein （YAP） pathway. METHODS RAW264.7 macrophages were induced to polarize with transforming growth factor-β 1 （TGF-β 1 ）. Subsequently， a non-contact co-culture system of macrophages with renal fibroblasts NRK-49F， as well as a non-contact co-culture system of macrophages with YAP-knockdown renal fibroblasts， were established. Cells were treated with low， medium， and high concentrations （4， 8， 16 μg/mL） of SFK， as well as a STAT3 inhibitor （STAT3-I，1.64 μg/mL） and losartan potassium tablets （positive control， 0.28 μg/mL）， for 48 h. After intervention， the protein and mRNA expression levels of CD86， CD163， and STAT3 in macrophages， as well as CD86， F4/80， and STAT3 mRNA， were detected. In co-cultured renal fibroblasts， the protein and mRNA expression levels of α -smooth muscle actin （ α -SMA）， Vimentin， collagen type Ⅰ （Col-Ⅰ）， matrix metalloproteinase-1 （MMP-1）， and YAP were detected. In co-cultured YAP-knockdown renal fibroblasts， the protein and mRNA expression levels of α -SMA， Vimentin， and MMP-1 were also detected. RESULTS Following TGF-β 1 induction， the protein expression levels of CD86， CD163， and STAT3， as well as the mRNA expression levels of CD86， F4/80， and STAT3 in macrophages were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）. The conditioned medium from polarized macrophages activated renal fibroblasts， as evidenced by significantly increased protein and mRNA expression levels of α -SMA， Vimentin， Col-Ⅰ， and YAP， and significantly decreased protein and mRNA expression levels of MMP-1 in renal fibroblasts （ P ＜0.05）. Treatment with SFK and STAT3-I reversed the changes in the above indicators， with the medium concentration SFK group showing stronge r effects on some indicators than the low and high concentration groups. In the non-contact co-culture experiment of macrophages and YAP-knockdown renal fibroblasts， there were no statistically significant differences in the protein and mRNA expression of α-SMA， Vimentin， and MMP-1 among the groups. CONCLUSIONS SFK can inhibit macrophage-renal fibroblast crosstalk by blocking the STAT3/YAP pathway， thereby delaying the progression of RIF.

OBJECTIVE To explore the influencing factors of Shenfukang capsule in the treatment of chronic kidney disease （CKD） and construct a nomogram prediction model for evaluating its therapeutic efficacy. METHODS CKD patients who were hospitalized from July 2019 to August 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University and treated with Shenfukang capsule were selected as study subjects. Clinical data of the patients were collected from the hospital’s electronic medical record system， and they were divided into an effective group and an ineffective group based on treatment outcomes. Lasso-Logistic multivariate regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors of the efficacy of Shenfukang capsule. Using the effectiveness of Shenfukang capsule treatment as the prediction outcome and the screened influencing factors as predictor variables， a nomogram prediction model was constructed using R software. All patients were randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort. The discriminative ability， calibration， and clinical net benefit of the model were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， calibration curve， and decision curve analysis， respectively. RESULTS Lasso-Logistic regression analysis revealed that concurrent diabetes mellitus， decreased levels of blood urea nitrogen， triglycerides， and serum phosphorus， as well as prolonged prothrombin time and elevated apolipoprotein AⅠ levels， were influencing factors for reduced efficacy of Shenfukang capsule in CKD treatment. The evaluation results of the nomogram prediction model showed that the area under curve values were 0.745 and 0.797 in the training and validation cohorts， respectively， which were close and both exceeded 0.70， indicating stable predictive performance. The calibration curves demonstrated good agreement in both datasets， suggesting satisfactory calibration performance. The clinical decision curves were positioned above the two extreme reference lines， indicating high clinical benefit of the model. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes mellitus， blood urea nitrogen， triglycerides， apolipoprotein AⅠ， serum phosphorus， and prothrombin time were factors associated with the efficacy of Shenfukang capsule in CKD patients. The nomogram prediction model established in this study may provide a basis for rational clinical application of Shenfukang capsule and for improving its therapeutic efficacy in CKD.

Obesity has become one of the important factors affecting the entire management process of liver transplantation. Its impact is not only reflected in the increased risk of liver steatosis and ischemia-reperfusion injury in the donor, but also involves the increased technical difficulty during the perioperative period for the recipient, the increase in postoperative metabolic complications and poorer long-term prognosis. This article, based on recent relevant studies, reviews aspects such as the utilization of obese donors, the characteristics of adult and pediatric recipients, pre-transplant risk assessment and weight loss intervention, and post-transplant weight and metabolic management. Current evidence suggests that simply judging transplantation risks based on body mass index has limitations. Analysis of body composition, assessment of cardiovascular function and identification of sarcopenic obesity are more clinically valuable. For obese liver transplant recipients, in a multidisciplinary collaboration framework, emphasis should be placed on individualized screening, perioperative optimization and long-term follow-up management to improve the outcomes of the graft and the recipient.

Abstract To clarify the service targets, service contents, and safeguard mechanisms of the basic public service program for student vision health management, the study grounded in the current status of child and adolescent myopia prevention and control in China and integrated with the practical experience and innovative practices of Wuhan National Demonstration Area for Student Vision Health Management, takes education as the main thread and schools as the base, consolidating resources from multiple stakeholders including education administrative departments, schools, families, and professional technical service institutions. Centering on four core components—vision health education, monitoring and record keeping, risk prevention and control, and dynamic management, the study constructs a multi tiered basic public service system for vision health management of primary and secondary school students. It further proposes the use of an intelligent management platform and a "three tier color coded early warning" mechanism (red, yellow, blue) to prevent and control student myopia at the source, providing schools with replicable and operable implementation pathways to enhance the level of student vision health management.

ObjectiveTo establish a model that can quickly identify the aroma components in different parts of Nardostachys jatamansi， so as to provide a quality control basis for the market circulation and clinical use of N. jatamansi. MethodsHeadspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-SPME-GC-MS） combined with Smart aroma database and National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST） database were used to characterize the aroma components in different parts of N. jatamansi， and the aroma components were quantified according to relative response factor（RRF） and three internal standards， and the markers of aroma differences in different parts of N. jatamansi were identified by orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） and cluster thermal analysis based on variable importance in the projection（VIP） value >1 and P<0.01. The odor data of different parts of N. jatamansi were collected by Heracles Ⅱ Neo ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose， and the correlation between compound types of aroma components collected by the ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose and the detection results of HS-SPME-GC-MS was investigated by drawing odor fingerprints and odor response radargrams. Chromatographic peak information with distinguishing ability≥0.700 and peak area≥200 was selected as sensor data， and the rapid identification model of different parts of N. jatamansi was established by principal component analysis（PCA）， discriminant factor alysis（DFA）， soft independent modeling of class analogies（SIMCA） and statistical quality control analysis（SQCA）. ResultsThe HS-SPME-GC-MS results showed that there were 28 common components in the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi， of which 22 could be quantified and 12 significantly different components were screened out. Among these 12 components， the contents of five components（ethyl isovalerate， 2-pentylfuran， benzyl alcohol， nonanal and glacial acetic acid，） in the aboveground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the underground part（P<0.01）， the contents of β-ionone， patchouli alcohol， α-caryophyllene， linalyl butyrate， valencene， 1，8-cineole and p-cymene in the underground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the aboveground part（P<0.01）. Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose results showed that the PCA discrimination index of the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi was 82， and the contribution rates of the principal component factors were 99.94% and 99.89% when 2 and 3 principal components were extracted， respectively. The contribution rate of the discriminant factor 1 of the DFA model constructed on the basis of PCA was 100%， the validation score of the SIMCA model for discrimination of the two parts was 99， and SQCA could clearly distinguish different parts of N. jatamansi. ConclusionHS-SPME-GC-MS can clarify the differential markers of underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi. The four analytical models provided by Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose（PCA， DFA， SIMCA and SQCA） can realize the rapid identification of different parts of N. jatamansi. Combining the two results， it is speculated that terpenes and carboxylic acids may be the main factors contributing to the difference in aroma between the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Fuyuan Capsules combined with Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture in the treatment of vascular dementia(VD),and to explore its possible mechanism of action.Methods A total of 204 cases of patients with a definitive diagnosis of VD admitted to the wards and outpatient clinics of Hengshui Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2019 to October 2022 were selected for the study.The patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method,with 102 cases in each group.The patients in both groups were treated with symptomatic treatments such as blood pressure-controlling,glucose-lowering,blood lipids-regulating,along with cognitive function training.The control group was treated with Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture,and the observation group was given oral administration of Fuxing Capsules on the basis of the treatment in the control group.One week constituted a course of treatmen,and eight consecutive courses of treatment were carried out.After two months of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.The changes in the scores of the Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE),Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA),Revised Hasegama's Dementia Scale(HDS-R),and Clinical Dementia Rating Scale(CDR)were observed in the patients of the two groups before and after treatment.The changes in the scores of the Activity of Daily Living Scale(ADL),Hachinski Ischemic Scale(HIS),and the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores before and after treatment were compared in patients of the two groups.The changes in the expression level of neuregulin 1(NRG1)before and after treatment in patients of the two groups were detected.Results(1)During the study,two cases fell off from both groups,respectively.Finally,100 cases in the observation group and 100 cases in the control group were included in the efficacy statistics.(2)After treatment,the MMSE and MoCA scores of the patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the HDS-R and CDR scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the ADL and HIS scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).(5)After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).(6)The total effective rate was 84.00％(84/100)in the observation group and 67.00％(67/100)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).(7)After treatment,the NRG1 levels of patients in the two groups were improved significantly(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Fuyuan Capsules combined with Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture in the treatment of VD can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients,enhance the cognitive function,and effectively increase the serum NRG 1 level,so as to improve their quality of life.
