Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare monogenic disorder primarily caused by insufficient insulin secretion resulting from mutations in the KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes. Sulfonylureas, represented by glibenclamide, have become the standard therapy for this type of NDM by precisely closing the mutated ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic β cells, thereby restoring insulin secretion. Clinical studies confirm that sulfonylureas enable over 90% of patients to successfully transition from insulin to oral treatment, achieving long-term stable glycemic control and improving neurological outcomes to a certain extent. In terms of safety, severe hypoglycemia induced by sulfonylureas is relatively rare and gastrointestinal reactions are mild; moreover, sulfonylureas show good long-term tolerability, and have no adverse effects on child growth and development. In the future, by further refining the full-chain management pathway of “rapid genetic diagnosis-early intervention-specialized dosage forms-long-term follow-up”, the clinical application of sulfonylureas is expected to provide NDM patients with an optimized treatment regimen and maximize their health benefits.

Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprints for the different extracts from Coptidis Rhizoma,and investigate the spectrum-effect relationship between HPLC fingerprints and anti-Staphylococcus aureus activity in vitro to analyze the pharmacodynamic material basis. Methods Nine kinds of Coptidis Rhizoma extracts were prepared, and establish the HPLC fingerprints for them. The antibacterial rate of each extract was determined by the broth microdilution method with Staphylococcus aureus as the test bacteria. The grey relational analysis (GRA) method was used to analyze the correlation between the fingerprint data and the in vitro antibacterial test data. Results The HPLC fingerprints of nine kinds of Coptidis Rhizoma extracts were established, nine common characteristic fingerprint peaks were calibrated, and 5 peaks were identified by the reference substance comparison method. GRA analysis experiments showed that the correlation between nine peaks and antibacterial effect was 0.559 1~0.803 3; and the peak 3, peak 8 (palmatine hydrochloride), peak 9 (berberine hydrochloride) were positively correlated with the inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus,while the peak 9 (berberine hydrochloride) had the strongest effect, and its correlation degree was 0.803 3. Conclusion The effective substance of antibacterial was preliminarily determined through the study of spectrum-effect relationship for Coptidis Rhizoma extracts,which may be the alkaloids, mostly containing hydrochloride, which provided a reference for further research on the pharmacodynamic material basis of Coptidis Rhizoma.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanisms by which Huanglian Jiedutang (HLJDT) modulates microglial (MG) phenotypes through the sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 2 (SIGLEC2/CD22)/Src-homology-2-domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-1 (SHP-1)/phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-Akt) signaling pathway, thereby promoting myelin repair and alleviating agitation-like behaviors in vascular dementia (VAD). MethodsSixty C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to a sham (normal) group, model group, HLJDT low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (2.5, 5, and 10 g·kg-1·d-1), and a risperidone group (2 mg·kg-1·d-1), with 10 mice per group. VAD was induced by bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS). From day 42, mice received drug interventions for 2 weeks. Agitation-like behaviors were assessed using the resident-intruder test. After behavioral testing, ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) tissues were collected. Western blot was used to measure protein levels of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), myelin basic protein (MBP), proteolipid protein (PLP), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), arginase-1 (Arg1), CD86, CD206, and CD22, SHP-1, and p-Akt. Immunofluorescence was used to evaluate myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) intensity and the proportion of iNOS+/ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1)+ cells. ELISA was used to detect tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group exhibited markedly increased biting and aggressive behaviors and shortened attack latency (P<0.01). MOG, MBP, and PLP protein levels and MAG fluorescence intensity were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). INOS and CD86 expression and TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels were significantly elevated (P<0.01). CD22 and SHP-1 expression increased significantly (P<0.01), whereas p-Akt expression decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the medium- and high-dose HLJDT groups and the risperidone group showed markedly reduced biting and aggression (P<0.05, P<0.01) and prolonged attack latency (P<0.01). MOG, MBP, and PLP levels and MAG fluorescence intensity were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). INOS, CD86, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). CD22 and SHP-1 expression decreased, while p-Akt expression increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionHLJDT may modulate CD22/SHP-1/p-Akt signaling in the VMHvl, promote the shift of MG toward an anti-inflammatory and phagocytic phenotype, enhance myelin repair, and improve agitation-like behaviors in VAD mice.

ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for long-term cardiovascular events in patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), and to construct and validate a visual nomogram prediction model based on multiple parameters. MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted, consecutively enrolling 248 maintenance PD patients (dialysis duration ≥ 3 months). Demographic characteristics, clinical indicators, laboratory parameters, and echocardiographic indices (including left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/e’), etc.) were collected. The composite endpoint was defined as the occurrence of cardiovascular events or cardiovascular death, with non-cardiovascular death as the competing risk and loss to follow-up or the end of follow-up as censoring events. Fine-Gray competing risks model was used to screen independent predictors, based on which a nomogram model was constructed. Internal validation was performed using the Bootstrap method (1 000 resamplings), and the concordance index (C-index) and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (time-dependent ROC) curve were calculated to evaluate the model performance. ResultsWith a median follow-up of 29 months (interquartile range: 24–35 months), 88 patients (35.48%) reached the composite endpoint, including 80 cases of cardiovascular events and 8 cases of cardiovascular death, and 4 patients died of non-cardiovascular causes. Multivariate Fine-Gray analysis revealed that age, diabetes mellitus, hemoglobin (HGB) level and E/e' ratio were independent influencing factors of the composite endpoint. Specifically, each 1-year increase in age was associated with a 3.0% increase in the risk of the composite endpoint (HR=1.030, P=0.006); patients with diabetes mellitus had a 167.9% higher risk compared with non-diabetic patients (HR=2.679, P=0.007); each 1g/L increase in HGB level contributed to a 1.5% reduction in the risk (HR=0.985, P=0.003); and each 0.1 increase in E/e' ratio led to a 7.2% increase in the risk (HR=1.072, P=0.045). The nomogram model had a C-index of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.698–0.820), and the AUC of the time-dependent ROC curve reached 0.849 at 23 months of follow-up. ConclusionIncreased age, complicated with diabetes mellitus, decreased HGB, and elevated E/e' ratio are independent risk factors of long-term occurrence of cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death in patients undergoing long-term PD. The nomogram model constructed based on the above variables has good predictive value and clinical applicability, which can provide a reference for cardiovascular risk stratification and individualized intervention in long-term PD patients.

The cooccurrence of NPM1, FLT3-ITD, and DNMT3A mutations (i.e., triple mutation) is related to dismal prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving chemotherapy alone. In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, we aimed to identify whether allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) could overcome the poor prognosis of DNMT3AmutNPM1mutFLT3-ITDmut AML across four transplant centers in China. Fifty-three patients with triple-mutated AML receiving allo-HSCT in complete remission were enrolled. The 1.5-year probabilities of relapse, leukemia-free survival, and overall survival after allo-HSCT were 11.9%, 80.3%, and 81.8%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that more than one course of induction chemotherapy and allo-HSCT beyond CR1 were associated with poor survival. To our knowledge, this work is the largest study to explore the up-to-date undefined role of allo-HSCT in patients with triple-mutated AML. Our real-world data suggest that allo-HSCT could overcome the poor prognosis of DNMT3AmutNPM1mutFLT3-ITDmut in AML.

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior among adolescents has become a global public health concern. Anxiety and depression are considered key factors influencing NSSI behavior, while social support may play a protective role in alleviating emotional and behavioral issues. However, existing research has primarily focused on the direct impact of individual factors on NSSI behavior, with insufficient exploration of the combined effects of anxiety, depression and social support. ObjectiveTo investigate the direct effect of anxiety on NSSI, the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of social support in relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior, thus to provide references for the prevention and intervention of NSSI behavior among adolescents. MethodsIn February 2022, a total of 40 820 students in grades 7 to 12 across 10 middle schools in a district of Chengdu were selected as participants, and they were assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7), Patient's Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), Social Support Scale for Urban Students (SSSUS) and Adolescent Self-Harm Scale (ASHS). Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlations between scale scores among adolescents with NSSI behaviors. Mediation and moderation analyses were performed using Process 3.5 in SPSS, and the significance was tested with bootstrapping. The interaction was visualized by using simple slope analysis. ResultsAmong 34 534 (84.60%) valid respondents, 542 adolescents (1.57%) reported engaging in NSSI behavior. Significant differences in gender, GAD-7 scores, PHQ-9 scores, and SSSUS scores were observed between NSSI behavior group and non-NSSI group (χ²/t=62.889, 71.120, 94.365, -41.464, P<0.01).Adolesents with NSSI showed positive correlations between GAD-7 scores and both ASHS and PHQ-9 scores (r=0.158, 0.166, P<0.01). PHQ-9 scores were positively correlated with ASHS scores (r=0.364, P<0.01), but negatively correlated with SSSUS scores (r=-0.290, P<0.01). SSSUS scores were negatively correlated with ASHS scores (r=-0.247, P<0.01). Depression partially mediated the relationship between anxiety and NSSI behavior, with an effect size of 0.544 (95% CI: 0.162~0.944), accounting for 35.79% of the total effect. Social support moderated the relationship between depression and NSSI bahavior, with an effect value of -0.082 (95% CI: -0.135~-0.029). ConclusionAnxiety not only directly influences NSSI bahavior among adolescents, also indirectly exacerbates it through depression, while social support mitigates the impact of depression on NSSI behavior.

The paper presents a case of 69-year-old male with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) manifesting as acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring emergency hemodialysis. The patient presented with fever, fatigue and rapidly progressive renal dysfunction, and serum creatinine was 1 105 μmol/L. Emergency central venous catheterization and hemodialysis were performed. Serum immunofixation electrophoresis revealed monoclonal IgM and λ light chain positivity. Autoantibody testing showed positivity for both anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies. Renal biopsy demonstrated interstitial infiltration by atypical B lymphocytes with λ light chain restriction. The diagnosis of MZL was confirmed by bone marrow biopsy. Following hemodialysis and chemotherapy with bendamustine plus rituximab, renal function significantly improved and remained stable during follow-up. This case highlights that AKI may serve as the initial manifestation of lymphoma, underscoring the importance of considering hematologic malignancies in the differential diagnosis of unexplained renal failure.
