Acute liver injury (ALI) serves as a critical precursor and major etiological factor in the progression and ultimate manifestation of various hepatic disorders. The prevention and treatment of ALI is still a serious global challenge. Given the limited therapeutic options for ALI, exploring novel targeted therapeutic agents becomes imperative. The potential therapeutic efficacy of inhibiting RIPK2 is highlighted, as it may provide significant benefits by attenuating the MAPK pathway and NF-κB signaling. Herein, we propose a CMD-OPT model, a two-stage molecular optimization tool for the rapid discovery of RIPK2 inhibitors with optimal properties. Compound RP20, which targets the ATP binding site, demonstrated excellent kinase specificity, ideal oral pharmacokinetics, and superior therapeutic effects in a model of APAP-induced ALI, positioning RP20 as a promising preclinical candidate. This marks the first application of RIPK2 inhibitors in ALI treatment, opening a novel therapeutic pathway for clinical applications. These results highlight the efficacy of the CMD-OPT model in producing lead compounds from known active molecules, showcasing its significant potential in drug discovery.

Objective To explore the relationship between CT quantitative left heart structure parameters and recurrence after hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM)and atrial fibrillation(AF)radiofrequency ablation(RFCA).Methods A total of 120 patients with HCM and AF admitted to our hospital from April 2021 to June 2023 were selected.Patients were divided into the relapse group and the non-recurrence group according to whether RFCA recurred 6 months after operation.All patients underwent CT examination,and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left atrial ejection fraction(LAEF),left atrial volume index(LAVI)and left atrial auricular volume of the two groups were analyzed.The clinical data of patients were collected.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence of RFCA in HCM patients with AF.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of left heart structure parameters for postoperative recurrence of RFCA in HCM patients with AF.Results The volume levels of LAVI and left auricle were higher in the relapsed group than those in the non-relapsed group,and the level of LAEF was lower than those in the non-relapsed group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that persistent atrial fibrillation,LAVI and high left atrial appendage volume were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence in HCM patients with AF(P<0.05),and high LAEF was protective factor(P<0.05).The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of LAVI,LAEF and left atrial appendage volume in predicting recurrence after RFCA in patients with HCM and AF was 0.902,which was higher than that of 0.789,0.755 and 0.675 of each individual test.The combined prediction efficiency of the three tests was higher than that of each single test(Z=2.177,2.555 and 3.628,P<0.05).Conclusion High level of LAVI and left atrial appendage volume and low level of LAEF are risk factors for postoperative recurrence of RFCA.The combined detection of the three methods has high predictive value for postoperative recurrence of RFCA in HCM patients with AF.

Objective:To establish 30-day of age transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) reference curves for healthy neonates, and to investigate regional variations in bilirubin dynamics.Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 220 950 healthy neonates born at a gestational age of 35-<42 weeks, with a birth weight ≥2 000 g, who did not receive phototherapy within 60 h after birth were recruited. All of them underwent remote TcB monitoring using the Bilibaby remote jaundice monitoring system between August 1 st, 2020 and December 31 st, 2024 in 426 hospitals. TcB data were collected within the period from birth to 30-day of age. The P40, P75, and P95 of TcB values were calculated, and dynamic TcB curves for 30-day of age were constructed. Patterns of bilirubin change, rates of change, and transition outcomes were described. Regional comparisons between South and North were conducted using linear mixed-effects models for TcB trajectories and Pearson′s chi-square test for outcome differences. Results:A total of 220 950 neonates were included, of whom 101 711 (46.03%) were female. Gestational age at birth was (38.75±1.12) weeks, and birth weight was (3 272±417) g. TcB levels increased rapidly within 3-day of age, peaked at 4-6-day of age, with peak values at P40, P75, and P95 of 200.6, 239.7 and 275.4 μmol/L (11.8, 14.1 and 16.2 mg/dl), respectively. TcB levels gradually declined thereafter and stabilized after 13-day of age, with values at P40, P75, and P95 fluctuating between 147.9-159.8, 190.4-200.6, and 231.2-239.7 μmol/L (8.7-9.4, 11.2-11.8, 13.6-14.1 mg/dl), respectively. Notably, among neonates categorized as low-or low-intermediate-risk within 3-day of age, 6 700 (12.76%) progressed to intermediate-high or high risk between 4 and 30 days of age. Before 13-day of age, TcB levels in the southern regions were consistently higher than those in the northern regions ( P=0.039); from 14 to 30 days of age, the overall TcB levels had no statistically difference, but the temporal changes in TcB still showed regional differences (degrees of freedom=3, all interaction P<0.05). Among neonates classified as low-or low-intermediate risk within 3-day of age, 25 326 were from southern regions, of whom 4 254 (16.80%) progressed to intermediate-high or high risk between 4 and 30 days of age. In northern regions, 27 193 neonates were classified as low-or low-intermediate risk within 3-day of age, among whom 2 446 (8.99%) progressed to intermediate-high or high risk. The risk progression between the 2 regions had statistically difference ( χ2=716.49, P<0.001). Conclusions:A TcB percentile curve for neonates within 30-day of age was established, revealing that both the overall TcB level and its temporal trend were higher in southern than in northern newborns. These findings provide baseline data to support continuous management of neonatal jaundice.

Objective:
To find out the differences in gene characteristics between cervical cancer patients with and without lymph node metastasis, and to provide reference for therapy.
Methods:
From January 2018 to June 2022, recurrent cervical cancer patients 39 cases with lymph node metastasis and 73 cases without lymph node metastasis underwent testing of 1,021 cancer-related genes by next-generation sequencing. Maftools software was used to analyze somatic single nucleotide/insertion-deletion variation mutation, co-occurring mutation, cosmic mutation characteristics, oncogenic signaling pathways.
Results:
EP300 and FBXW7 were significantly enriched in lymph node-positive patients.Lymph node-positive patients with EP300 or FBXW7 mutations had lower overall survival (OS) after recurrence. Both lymph node-positive and -negative patients had plenty of co-occurring mutations but few mutually exclusive mutations. Lymph node-positive cooccurring mutation number ≥6 had lower OS, while lymph node-negative co-occurring mutation number ≥3 had lower OS after recurrence. The etiology of SBS3 was defects in DNA double strand break repair by homologous recombination, which exclusively exist in lymph node-positive patients. There was no difference in median tumor mutation burden (TMB) between positive and negative lymph nodes, but TMB was significantly associated with PIK3CA mutation.
Conclusion
The somatic SNV/Indels of EP300 and FBXW7, SBS3 homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair defect were enriched in lymph node-positive patients.For lymph node-positive patients, EP300 or FBXW7 mutations predicted poor prognosis. No matter lymph node-positive or negative, more co-occurring mutation number predicted poor prognosis. PIK3CA mutation may account for the higher TMB and help identify patients who benefit from immunotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between diabetic nephropathy(DN)and diabetic retinopathy(DR)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)based on imaging and clinical testing data.Methods Totally 600 T2DM patients who visited the First People's Hospital of Ziyang from March 2021 to December 2022 were included.The fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography were performed on all these patients and their age,gender,T2DM duration,cardiovascular diseases,cerebrovascular disease,hypertension,smoking history,drinking history,body mass in-dex,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and other clinical data were collected.The levels of fasting blood glu-cose(FPG),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipo-protein cholesterol(LDL-C),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),24 h urinary albumin(UAlb),urinary albumin to creati-nine ratio(ACR),serum creatinine(Scr)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)were measured.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors associated with DR.DR staging was performed according to fundus images,and the convolutional neural network(CNN)algorithm was used as an image analysis method to explore the correlation between DR and DN based on emission computed tomography(ECT)and clinical testing data.Results The average lesion area rates of DR and DN detected by the CNN in the non-DR,mild-non-proliferative DR(NPDR),moderate-NPDR,severe-NPDR and pro-liferative DR(PDR)groups were higher than those obtained by the traditional algorithm(TCM).As DR worsened,the Scr,BUN,24 h UAlb and ACR gradually increased.Besides,the incidence of DN in the non-DR,mild-NPDR,moderate-NPDR,severe-NPDR and PDR groups was 1.67%,8.83%,16.16%,22.16%and 30.83%,respectively.Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of T2DM,smoking history,HbA1c,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,24 h UAlb,Scr,BUN,ACR and glomerular filtration rate(GFR)were independent risk factors for DR.Renal dynamic ECT analysis demonstrated that with the aggravation of DR,renal blood flow perfusion gradually decreased,resulting in diminished renal filtration.Conclusion The application of CCN in the early stage DR and DN image analysis of T2DM patients will improve the diag-nosis accuracy of DR and DN lesion area.The DN is worsening as the aggravation of DR.
