Objective To investigate the application value of late gadolinium enhancement(LEG)at cardiac MRI in predicting ventricular arrhythmia(VA)events in patients after implantation of ICD.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 16 patients at high risk of sudden cardi-ac death after ICD implantation and LEG examination in the First and the Sixth Medical Centers of Chinese PLA General Hospital from June 2020 to March 2024.According the occurrence of VA events receiving appropriate ICD therapy during the follow-up period,they were divided into post-operative VA group(7 cases)and non-VA group(9 cases).The correlation of clinical baseline fea-tures and LEG features with VA events was analyzed.Results The ratios of transmural enhance-ment and myocardial medium enhancement were obviously higher in the VA group than the non-VA group(71.4％vs 11.1％,P=0.035;85.7％vs 22.2％,P=0.041).Multivariate logistic regres-sionanalysis showed that transmural enhancement(OR=5.000,95％CI:0.150-166.589,P=0.368)and myocardial medium enhancement(OR=7.000,95％CI:0.217-226.005,P=0.272)were not independent factors influencing VA occurrence.ROC curve analysis indicated that the combined prediction of transmural enhancement and myocardial media enhancement and the pre-diction of transmural enhancement alone had better diagnostic efficacy(P＜0.05).Conclusion LEG has clinical value in predicting postoperative VA events in patients after ICD implantation.

It is believed that Shengyang Yiwei Decoction （升阳益胃汤， SYD） is effective in regulating the flow of Qi （气）， and can treat various diseases caused by the disorder of the spleen and stomach Qi. In clinical practice， based on the pathological characteristics of children often having insufficient spleen， and adhering to the principle of treating different diseases with the same method， the focus is placed on the core pathogenesis of spleen and stomach Qi disharmony. We use SYD in various pediatric conditions such as allergic rhinitis， post COVID-19 condition， urethral syndrome， and dysfunctional uterine bleeding in adolescence， and emphasize the treatment is flexibly tailored to the symptoms.

Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog(KRAS)protein inhibitors are a promising class of thera-peutics,but research on molecules that effectively penetrate the blood-brain barrier(BBB)remains limited,which is crucial for treating central nervous system(CNS)malignancies.Although molecular generation models have recently advanced drug discovery,they often overlook the complexity of bio-logical and chemical factors,leaving room for improvement.In this study,we present a structure-constrained molecular generation workflow designed to optimize lead compounds for both drug effi-cacy and drug absorption properties.Our approach utilizes a variational autoencoder(VAE)generative model integrated with reinforcement learning for multi-objective optimization.This method specifically aims to enhance BBB permeability(BBBp)while maintaining high-affinity substructures of KRAS in-hibitors.To support this,we incorporate a specialized KRAS BBB predictor based on active learning and an affinity predictor employing comparative learning models.Additionally,we introduce two novel metrics,the knowledge-integrated reproduction score(KIRS)and the composite diversity score(CDS),to assess structural performance and biological relevance.Retrospective validation with KRAS inhibitors,AMG510 and MRTX849,demonstrates the framework's effectiveness in optimizing BBBp and highlights its potential for real-world drug development applications.This study provides a robust framework for accelerating the structural enhancement of lead compounds,advancing the drug development process across diverse targets.

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an inherited disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase A (ARSA). Lentivirus-modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy (HSCGT) has recently been approved for clinical use in pre and early symptomatic children with MLD to increase ARSA activity. Unfortunately, this advanced therapy is not available for most patients with MLD who have progressed to more advanced symptomatic stages at diagnosis. Patients with late-onset juvenile MLD typically present with a slower neurological progression of symptoms and represent a significant burden to the economy and healthcare system, whereas those with early onset infantile MLD die within a few years of symptom onset. We conducted a pilot study to determine the safety and benefit of HSCGT in patients with postsymptomatic juvenile MLD and report preliminary results. The safety profile of HSCGT was favorable in this long-term follow-up over 9 years. The most common adverse events (AEs) within 2 months of HSCGT were related to busulfan conditioning, and all AEs resolved. No HSCGT-related AEs and no evidence of distorted hematopoietic differentiation during long-term follow-up for up to 9.6 years. Importantly, to date, patients have maintained remarkably improved ARSA activity with a stable disease state, including increased Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score and decreased magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion score. This long-term follow-up pilot study suggests that HSCGT is safe and provides clinical benefit to patients with postsymptomatic juvenile MLD.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical effects of ultra early enteral nutrition (≤24 h) in critically ill children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of 43 critically ill children who received ECMO support in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Shanghai Children′s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2023 were collected, including general information, nutritional support modalities, and enteral nutrition tolerance. Based on the timing of enteral nutrition initiation, patients were divided into the within 24 h enteral nutrition group and the after 24 h enteral nutrition group. Nutritive indicators, nutritional intake, duration of ECMO support, duration of mechanical ventilation duration, and mortality rates were compared between the 2 groups using the two independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test and Fisher′s exact test. Results:Among the 43 children, 25 were male and 18 were female, with an age of 47 (18, 97) months. There were no statistically significant differences between the within 24 h enteral nutrition group (21 cases) and the after 24 h enteral nutrition group (22 cases) in terms of age, body mass index Z score, total protein, albumin, hemoglobin levels before ECMO support, duration of ECMO support, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of PICU stay, number of enteral nutrition intolerance events, number of enteral nutrition interruption, or mortality rate (all P>0.05). The protein intake adequacy rate during ECMO support was higher in the within 24 h enteral nutrition group than in the after 24 h enteral nutrition group (0 (0, 21%) vs. 0 (0, 0), U=175.00, P<0.05). Conclusions:Ultra early enteral nutrition is safe for children supported by ECMO. Initiating enteral nutrition within 24 h can increase the proportion of days with adequate protein intake in ECMO children without increasing the occurance of enteral nutrition intolerance or interruptions.

Purpose To investigate the diagnostic value of quantitative 123I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine(MIBG)xSPECT/CT imaging in bone metastases of neuroblastoma in children.Materials and Methods We retrospectively assessed 123I-MIBG xSPECT/CT images of 61 children with neuroblastoma confirmed by pathology analyzed the influencing factors of bone metastatic lesions and normal bone quantitative parameters from March 2022 to March 2023 in Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University,and compared the differences in standard uptake value(SUV).We used receiver operating characteristics curves to determine the optimum maximum standard uptake value(SUVmax),average standard uptake value(SUVavg),minimum standard uptake value(SUVmin)and peak standard uptake value(SUVpeak)cut-off value to diagnose bone metastatic lesions.Results There was no statistically significant difference in normal bone SUV values among different physical parameters(r=-0.204-0.071,all P>0.05).SUVmax,SUVavg,SUVmin and SUVpeak of bone metastatic lesions were significantly higher than those of normal bone(Z=-10.118--9.703,all P<0.000 1),and there was no significant statistical difference in SUV measurements of bone metastatic lesions among different Curie score intervals(H=0.226,0.107,0.149,0.342,all P>0.05).The area under the curve of SUVmax,SUVavg,SUVmin and SUVpeak were 0.929(95%CI 0.884-0.974),0.948(95%CI 0.906-0.989),0.935(95%CI 0.890-0.981),0.942(95%CI 0.899-0.985);sensitivity was 90.9%,90.2%,93.7%,92.3%,and specificity was 86.9%,93.4%,85.2%,88.5%,respectively,with statistically significant differences(P<0.000 1).The optimal diagnostic thresholds for SUVmax,SUVavg,SUVmin and SUVpeak were 0.39 g/ml,0.33 g/ml,0.20 g/ml and 0.33 g/ml,respectively.Conclusion We demonstrate that SUVavg above 0.33 g/ml in neuroblastoma patients have best diagnostic efficacy in the diagnosis of bone metastasis of neuroblastoma.Quantitative indexes of xSPECT/CT increase the specificity of diagnosing bone metastases of neuroblastoma,demonstrating the high diagnostic efficiency of 123I-MIBG xSPECT/CT imaging quantitative analysis and its potential usefulness as a diagnostic aid for visual evaluation.

Nanomaterials have been used in a variety of industries recently,involving foods,chemi-cals and biomedicine.There are multiple routes through which humans are exposed to nanomaterials,and their toxic effects deserve more attention.In vivo studies have confirmed that nanomaterials expo-sure can lead to toxicity in such target organs as the heart,liver,kidney,skin and nerve.The toxicity mechanism is related to changes in organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum,lysosomes and mito-chondria.Increasing studies suggest that mitochondria are critical targets for the toxicity of nanomaterials.Mitochondrial biogenesis serves as an important mechanism for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis,which plays a vital role in the process of nanomaterials-induced cellular toxicity.This article summarizes the current research on the effects of nanomaterials on mitochondrial biogenesis,and elaborates the mechanism through which nanomaterials disrupt mitochondrial biogenesis by triggering oxidative stress,upsetting the homeostasis of calcium ion and disturbing toxicity pathways.This article is expected to provide a reference for toxicity testing and risk assessment of nanomaterials.
