Objective:To investigate the distribution of CGG repeat numbers in the FMR1 gene among reproductive-age women in China, providing data reference for carrier screening and genetic counseling of Fragile X syndrome. Methods:This cross-sectional study recruited 16 610 reproductive-age women from 12 medical institutions between July 2022 and October 2023. Peripheral venous blood samples (3 mL) were collected, and genomic DNA was extracted. The number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene was determined using the triplet-primed polymerase chain reaction (TP-PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis technology. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the prevalence and distribution of CGG repeat expansions. Results:Among 16 610 women of childbearing age, 5 684 (34.220%) women had the same number of CGG repeats in the two alleles of FMR1 gene, and 10 926 (65.780%) women had different numbers of repeats in the two alleles. Among the 33 220 FMR1 alleles in 16 610 women of reproductive age, the most common CGG repeat numbers were 29 [48.645% (16 160/33 220)] and 30 [26.276% (8 729/33 220)], while the most frequent CGG genotype was CGG 29/29 [24.726% (4 107/16 610)]. The CGG repeat numbers of FMR1 gene were normal in 16 498 women (99.326%). Among the 112 women (0.674%) with CGG repeat abnormities, 96 (0.578%) women were classified as intermediate carriers, 15 (0.090%) as premutation carriers, and 1 (0.006%) as a full mutation carrier, whose CGG genotype was (36, >200). Conclusion:In the general reproductive-age female population in China, the normal CGG repeat numbers of the FMR1 gene account for 99.326%, while the intermediate carrier rate is 0.578%, and the combined carrier rate of the premutation and full mutation types is 0.096%.

OBJECTIVES:
Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) often require diuretics during hospitalization to alleviate fluid retention and improve prognosis. However, the diuretic efficacy and renal impact of dapagliflozin in this population remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of dapagliflozin on diuresis and renal function in hospitalized patients with HFrEF.
METHODS:
This retrospective analysis included clinical data from 200 hospitalized HFrEF patients treated at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between January 2021 and September 2022. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether they received dapagliflozin: a standard treatment group (n=120) and a dapagliflozin treatment group (n=80). The following were compared between the 2 groups during hospitalization: The 24-hour average difference of liquid intake and output during the first 5 days, urine output, cumulative urine output, diuretic efficiency, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), hospitalization costs, drug costs, and cost-effectiveness ratio (C/E).
RESULTS:
1) Primary outcome: The 24-hour average difference of liquid intake and output during the first 5 days was significantly higher in the dapagliflozin treatment group than in the standard treatment group (P<0.05). 2) Secondary outcomes: The 24-hour average urine volume, cumulative urine volume and diuretic efficiency in the first 5 days of dapagliflozin treatment group were higher than those in the standard treatment group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Among patients with impaired renal function on admission [eGFR between 45 and 90 mL/(min·1.73 m²)], the change in eGFR after treatment was significantly smaller in the dapagliflozin treatment group (P<0.05). For patients with normal renal function on admission [eGFR >90 mL/(min·1.73 m²)], the difference in eGFR changes between 2 groups was not significant (P>0.05). NT-proBNP decreased more in the dapagliflozin treatment group than in the standard treatment group during hospitalization (P<0.05). 3) Other indicators: The length of hospital stay was longer in the dapagliflozin treatment group. However, discharge systolic blood pressure, drug costs, and hospitalization costs were all higher in the standard group, though differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The C/E was more favorable in the dapagliflozin treatment group (425.36 vs. 476.67).
CONCLUSIONS
In hospitalized patients with chronic HFrEF, dapagliflozin treatment increased 24-hour average difference of liquid intake and output and total urine output, reduced NT-proBNP levels, and showed a milder decline in eGFR in those with pre-existing renal impairment. Discharge blood pressure, drug costs, and hospital stay were not significantly affected. While standard therapy may offer better short-term clinical benefits, dapagliflozin demonstrated a superior short-term cost-effectiveness profile.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility, safety and reasonable operation of nasointestinal canal indwelling guided by miniature system in severe neurosurgery patients, and compare its advantages and disadvantages with traditional blind insertion.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial design was used to select 128 critically ill patients in need of enteral nutrition support at the Department of Neurosurgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2022 to October 2023 by convenient sampling method. They were divided into blind insertion group and visualization group by random number table method, with 64 cases in each group. Nasointestinal canal indwelling was performed in the blind insertion group by traditional blind insertion method, and in the visualization group, nasointestinal canal indwelling was performed by indentations guided by the miniature visualization system. The success rate of initial catheterization, the time of catheterization, complications, changes of vital signs during catheterization and changes of nutritional indexes after catheterization were evaluated in 2 groups.Results:In the blind insertion group, there were 35 males and 29 females, aged (59.44 ± 13.84) years old. In the visualization group, there were 41 males and 23 females, aged (58.28 ± 12.08) years old. The success rate of the first catheter placement in the visual group was 96.8% (62/64), higher than that in the blind group 82.8% (53/64), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.94, P<0.05). The catheter placement time of the visualization group was (20.08 ± 2.69) min, which was shorter than that of the blind insertion group (38.19 ± 3.79) min, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=29.99, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications, changes of vital signs during catheterization and the changes of nutritional indexes after catheterization between two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with traditional blind nasointestinal canal indwelling, nasointestinal canal indwelling guided by the miniature visualization system can improve the success rate of the first catheterization and shorten the catheterization time. Although there is no difference in the complication rate, changes in vital signs during catheterization and changes in nutritional indexes after catheterization, it is believed that with the continuous development and upgrading of this technology, it will further reflect the advantages of this technology, which is worthy of further clinical trials and application.

AIM:To observe the efficacy and safe-ty of combined lipid-lowering strategies in the ini-tial stage of treatment in"very high-risk ASCVD"pa-tients in cardiology outpatient clinics in a real-world prospective cohort study.METHODS:Pa-tients with"very high-risk ASCVD"from January to June 2021 were consecutively enrolled and divided into three groups according to the actual lipid-low-ering treatment strategies:Atorvastatin group;Atorvastatin combine with ezetimibe group;Atorv-astatin combine with evolocumab group.The pri-mary observation endpoints were the changes in LDL-C,Lp(a),and non-HDL-C after one month of treatment,and the secondary endpoints were the changes in TC,TG,HDL-C,Hs-CRP,and safety indica-tors.RESULTS:The efficacy of the combined lipid-lowering strategy in the initial stage of treatment was significantly better than that of the Atorvas-tatin group:LDL-C,Log[Lp(a)],non-HDL-C,TC sig-nificantly decreased(all P<0.05).Compared with the Atorvastatin combine with Ezetimibe group,LDL-C and Log[Lp(a)]decreased significantly in the Atorvastatin combine with Evolocumab group(P<0.05),and TC and TG had decreased insignifi-cantly(P>0.05).When"LDL-C<1.4mmol/L or<1.8 mmol/L"is used as the standard for lipid-low-ering compliance,the LDL-C compliance rates of the two groups of combined lipid-lowering treat-ments are higher than those of the atorvastatin sin-gle-drug group.The differences were all statistically significant(all P<0.05);the LDL-C compliance rate of the atorvastatin combined with evolocumab group was higher than that of the atorvastatin com-bined with ezetimibe group,and the differences were statistically significant(All P<0.05).When the reduction rate of"LDL dropped by more than 50%"alone or in combination were used as the standard,no one in the three groups could reach the stan-dard.The liver aminotransferase levels had no signif-icant changes among the 3 groups after treatment(all P>0.05).Myocardial enzyme isoenzyme(CK-MB)decreased among the 3 groups insignificantly(P>0.05).Compared with the Atorvastatin group,the blood sugar(BS)of the two combined lipid-low-ering groups decreased significantly(P<0.05);The BS of the Atorvastatin+ezetimibe group significant-ly decreased than that of Atorvastatin combine with Evolocumab group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The lipid-lowering effect and LDL-C compliance rate of patients with"very high-risk ASCVD"in the cardi-ology outpatient department after 1 month of com-bined lipid-lowering treatment were better than those of the atorvastatin monotherapy group.When LDL-C<1.4 mmol/L or<1.8 mmol/L is the lip-id-lowering target,the LDL-C compliance rate after 1 month of treatment in the atorvastatin combined with evolocumab group is higher than that of the combined atorvastatin and zetamibu group.When the"LDL drop by more than 50%"is used as the standard for lipid lowering,it is difficult to reach the standard within 1 month.Outpatient"very high-risk ASCVD"patients were treated with initial combined lipid-lowering therapy for 1 month with-out adverse reactions.The initial combined lipid-lowering strategy can be used for patients with"very high-risk ASCVD"in cardiology outpatient clinics who need to achieve LDL-C values early.Atorvastatin combined with evolocumab strategy can be recommended for those patients who re-quire LDL-C<1.4 mmol/L or<1.8 mmol/L within one month.
