Traditional treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) primarily involves insulin replacement, yet some patients encounter issues such as significant blood glucose fluctuations, high risk of hypoglycemia, and weight gain. In recent years, the adjuvant therapeutic role of non-insulin hypoglycemic drugs in T1DM has gradually gained attention. This article reviews the mechanisms of action and clinical research progress of five types of non-insulin hypoglycemic drugs in the treatment of T1DM: amylin analogues (pramlintide), biguanides (metformin), sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. It is found that these drugs can enhance clinical benefits for T1DM patients by improving insulin sensitivity, delaying gastric emptying, promoting urinary glucose excretion, and regulating incretin levels, thereby reducing glycated hemoglobin levels, decreasing insulin dosage, and managing body weight. Simultaneously, these drugs also present limitations such as low patient compliance due to complex dosing regimens, increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, and heterogeneity in glycemic control. Future research could focus on developing individualized treatment strategies, combining pharmacogenomics with novel biomarkers to precisely identify subpopulations of patients who may benefit, and delving into the potential value of these drugs in delaying diabetic vascular complications and improving patients’ quality of life.

Objective Jejunal interposition is an important option for restoring gastrointestinal continuity in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable for reconstruction due to previous gastrectomy, tumor involvement, failed gastric conduit, or other constraints. Although the jejunum offers a caliber similar to the esophagus, a rich blood supply, and preserved peristaltic function, anatomical variations in mesenteric length and vascular arcades render long-segment and high-level reconstruction susceptible to excessive tension, mesenteric torsion, venous congestion, and inadequate distal perfusion. This consensus aims to provide standardized recommendations for the application of jejunal interposition in this specific patient population. Methods This consensus was developed in accordance with the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and Chinese national guideline development standards, with reference to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ), Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), and Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) checklists. The project was registered on the international practice guidelines registry platform (PREPARE-2026CN1384). The working group systematically searched Chinese and English evidence addressing 12 clinical questions. Evidence was graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2009 system, with structured appraisal of risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Recommendations were formulated through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a face-to-face consensus meeting, with an agreement threshold of ≥75%. Results The consensus generated 12 recommendations covering indications, selection between jejunum and colon, preoperative assessment, surgical approach and reconstruction route, pedicled jejunal interposition (PJI), supercharged pedicled jejunal interposition (SPJ), indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion assessment, perioperative nutrition, management of anastomotic leakage, long-term follow-up, and special treatment scenarios. Given that the available direct evidence is predominantly derived from single-center retrospective cohorts and case series, recommendations extrapolated from general esophagectomy or other gastrointestinal surgical evidence are deliberately phrased with caution. Conclusion Jejunal interposition is a safe and effective approach for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable. This consensus emphasizes that clinical decision-making should be individualized based on the patient's prior treatment history, reconstruction height, vascular anatomy, technical availability, and institutional experience in the Chinese context.

A 64-year-old male patient with hemophilia A was scheduled for the surgical removal of a pulmonary mass. Preoperative evaluation revealed that the coagulation factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) activity was 0.5%, with an F Ⅷ inhibitor level of 32 BU/ml; the R value could not be detected on the thromboelastogram. Thoracoscopic lobectomy was successfully completed. On the day of the operation and the first day after the operation, 6 mg of recombinant activated coagulation factor Ⅶ (rFⅦa) was intravenously administered every 6 h. On postoperative day 1, the patient’s blood pressure dropped and the HGB gradually declined from 102 g/L to 65 g/L. Chest X-ray revealed a large amount of pleural effusion on the left side, and urgent thoracoscopic thoracic exploration was performed. A total of 3200 mL fresh blood was cleared, and a thoracic drainage tube was placed. On postoperative day 2, the rFⅦa dose was increased to 6 mg, which was intravenously administered every 4 h, and concentrated red cells were intermittently infused to correct anemia. Four days later, due to the inability to obtain rFⅦa, PCC (50 IU/kg every 8 hours) was administered. Additionally, treatment with methylprednisolone (40 mg/d) and cyclophosphamide (200 mg, every 2 weeks) was initiated to remove FⅧ inhibitors. The thoracic drainage tube was removed on postoperative day 9, and the patient was successfully discharged 3 weeks later.

Objective:To explore the genotype and the clinical phenotype of SCN2A-related developmental delay in children. Methods:A case series study was adopted. Collect clinical data from 10 cases of children with SCN2A gene variants diagnosed with global developmental delay/intellectual disability who were admitted to the Children′s Hospital between July 2019 and March 2023. Summarize the clinical phenotype and genotype based on clinical data such as general information, clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, laboratory tests, genetic testing results, and comprehensive pediatric neuropsychological development assessment. Results:A total of 10 patients were recruited, including 7 males and 3 females, with an age range of 27 days to 5 years and 9 months. 9 patients underwent children′s neuropsychological and behavioral assessments, and the results were consistent with global developmental delay, including 2 mild cases, 4 moderate cases, and 3 severe cases. 3 cases had autism spectrum disorder, and 2 cases had epilepsy. 6 patients underwent complete head MRI examination, and 4 of them showed abnormalities, including delayed myelination, widening of the local extra brain space in the frontal lobe, and abnormal frontal lobe morphology. All 10 cases had point variants. Among them, 9 cases are de novo and 1 case is maternal inheritance. Out of 10 cases, there were 5 cases with copy number variations, but all of them were of unknown significance. Among the 10 variants, 8 have been reported and 2 have not been reported, namely c.4145A>T(p.N1382I) and c.4937T>A(p.I1646N). In this study, 4 out of 10 patients with SCN2A variants had variation sites located in the S4 segment of domain which constitute Nav1.2, the sodium ion channel encoded by SCN2A. The developmental quotient level was lower when the variation sites were located in the S4 segment of domain, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.101, P=0.017), indicating that the severity of developmental delay may be related to the localization of amino acids corresponding to variant sites within the protein domain. Conclusion:SCN2A mutations are strongly associated with diverse neurodevelopmental disorders. In this study, the phenotypic spectrum of SCN2A variants encompassed epilepsy, global developmental delay, and autism spectrum disorder. Affected individuals exhibited early-onset developmental delays, predominantly moderate to severe in severity. Voltage-sensing domain dysfunction in sodium channels may constitute a critical pathomechanism underlying neurodevelopmental impairments. Further electrophysiological characterization and molecular mechanistic studies are warranted todelineate the genotype-phenotype correlations between specific variant loci and clinical severity.

Objective:To analyze the levels of thrombin generation and activated protein C resistance (APC-R) in lupus anticoagulant (LA)-positive patients, and to assess their effectiveness in predicting thrombotic risk in these patients.Methods:Retrospective case-control study. A total of 185 patients with positve LA [91 males, 94 females; age (47.59±19.14) years] in Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from November 1st, 2024 to March 31st, 2025 were included. Patients were stratified into thrombotic ( n=91) and non-thrombotic groups ( n=94) based on clinical diagnosis and imaging evidence of thrombosis. The basic characteristics and routine laboratory coagulation levels of LA-positive patients were analyzed. Post-test plasma samples were collected from 43 cases with positive or strongly positive LA, categorized into thrombotic ( n=23) and non-thrombotic ( n=20) groups. Additionally, plasma was collected from 80 healthy controls [40 males and 40 females, age (38.37±15.74) years]. Using simple random sampling method, plasma samples from 10 selected males and 10 selected females were mixed to make 1 group of healthy control, thus accordingly resulted in a total of 4 healthy control groups. Thrombin generation assays (TGA) were then employed to measure prothrombin generation and activated protein C resistance (APC-R) levels in the healthy control, non-thrombotic, and thrombotic groups. One-way analysis of variance was utilized to compare thrombin generation and APC-R levels across these groups. Results:Among the routine laboratory coagulation indexes, the median levels of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrin degradation product (FDP) and protein C (PC) in thrombotic group were 30.9 (28.8, 35.5) s, 2.5 (1.3, 2.8) mg/L, and 107.0 (93.0, 127.0)%, respectively, which were significantly higher compared with the non-thrombosis group (all P<0.05). However, between the thrombotic and non-thrombotic group, no statistically significant differences were observed for the levels of prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (Fg), or D-dimer (D-D) ( P>0.05). The TGA results showed that the total thrombin generation, the maximal thrombin generation and APC-R levels of patients in the thrombotic group were (1 118.72±387.34) nmol/L·min, (106.01±59.00) nmol/L and (0.33±0.22), respectively, which were significantly higher compared with those in the non-thrombotic group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Significantly increased thrombin generation and enhanced APC-R were present in the LA-positive patients with thrombosis, indicating the important values of thrombin generation and APC-R in assessing thrombosis risk among this population.

Objective:To compare the accuracy of one-stage clotting assay and chromogenic substrate assay for testing an extended half-life recombinant FⅧ and to explore standardized conversion models between methods.Methods:Observational study. FⅧ activity (FⅧ:C) in plasma samples with theoretical values of 1 000, 800, 600, 500, 400, and 300 IU/L was measured using both one-stage clotting assay (employing Siemens Actin FSL reagent, Werfen SynthASil reagent, Stago PTT-A reagent) and the chromogenic substrate assay from Hyphen Biomed. Differences in FⅧ:C measured by the various methods were compared using the SNK test. Recovery rates were calculated to evaluate the accuracy of each assay. Sample activity was verified using the thrombin generation assay (TGA). Correlations between activities determined by the different assay systems were assessed using linear regression analysis.Results:Observational study. FⅧ activity (FⅧ:C) in diluted plasma samples with theoretical values of 1 000, 800, 600, 500, 400, and 300 IU/L was measured using both one-stage clotting assay (employing Siemens Actin FSL reagent, Werfen SynthASil reagent, Stago PTT-A reagent) and the chromogenic substrate assay from Hyphen Biomed. Differences in FⅧ:C measured by the various methods were compared using the SNK test. Recovery rates were calculated to evaluate the accuracy of each assay. Sample activity was verified using the thrombin generation assay (TGA). Correlations between activities determined by the different assay systems were assessed using linear regression analysis.Conclusion:Some marked one-stage clotting assay system has limitations in the clinical detection of extended half-life recombinant FⅧ. While the chromogenic substrate assay provides more accurate results. The one-stage clotting assay values can undergo cross-assay correction for FⅧ:C using a standardized conversion coefficient, which can further elevate the accuracy of monitoring hemophilia treatment efficacy.
