There is a substantial unmet need for treatments in the field of pediatric rare diseases, and investigator initiated trial(IIT) provide a critical pathway for testing and developing new drugs or treatment strategies. However, healthcare institutions, when conducting such research, must address compliance risks related to project approval, contract management, data protection, and conflict of interest management. This study aims to analyze the particularities and challenges of IIT in pediatric rare diseases, review relevant regulations and regulatory requirements, and provide healthcare institutions with a reference framework for compliance risk management to maximize the benefits of IIT. Based on literature review, analysis of laws and regulations, practical work experience, and frameworks from other institutions, we summarize the unique aspects of pediatric rare disease IIT in terms of participant characteristics, innovative technologies, and organizational structures.On this basis, targeted compliance management recommendations are proposed, which include establishing a risk rating and full-cycle risk monitoring mechanism, a consent and ethical review mechanism tailored to pediatric participants, a robust contract management mechanism, a comprehensive data security management mechanism, and a multidisciplinary team and multi-channel compensation mechanism. The study concludes that healthcare institutions, funders, and other collaborating entities should implement compliance management in line with the characteristics of IIT to ensure the safety and effectiveness of research and facilitate innovation and development in the treatment of pediatric rare diseases.

Objective:To build a systematic and standardized nutrition management plan for patients with chronic kidney disease.Methods:Based on the nutrition care procedure and model, a preliminary draft of a nutrition management plan for chronic kidney disease patients was developed through a literature search, quality evaluation, and group discussions. After two rounds of expert consultation and revision of the preliminary draft of the nutrition management plan, the final plan was formed.Results:A total of 32 experts were invited to complete two rounds of consultation. In two rounds of expert consultation, 32 questionnaires were distributed, and 32 and 31 valid questionnaires were collected, with valid response rates of 100.0% and 96.9%, respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.853 and 0.871, respectively. The final nutrition management plan for chronic kidney disease patients included six first-level items of nutrition management personnel: nutrition risk screening, nutrition assessment, nutrition treatment, nutrition monitoring, and nutrition health education, with 23 second-level and 52 third-level items.Conclusions:The constructed nutrition management plan for chronic kidney disease patients is scientific and can provide a reference for nutrition guidance.

Objective:To investigate the application value of nectin-4 targeting radiotracer 68Ga-N188 in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Methods:The prospective study was conducted. The clinicopathologic data of 16 patients diagnosed as pancreatic cancer on enhanced computed tomography (CT) who were admitted to the Peking University First Hospital from August to December 2022 were collected. There were 9 males and 7 females, aged (62±8)years. All patients underwent 18F-flurodeoxyglucose ( 18F-FDG) and 68Ga-N188 positron emission tomography (PET)/CT examination. Observation indicators: (1) distribution of 68Ga-N188 in different tissues and tumor primary lesion of patients; (2) expression of Nectin-4 and uptake of 68Ga-N188 in pancreatic cancer; (3) comparison of examination results between 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Results:(1) Distribution of 68Ga-N188 in different tissues and tumor primary lesion of patients. Results of PET/CT examination showed that in 1 hour after injection, the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and mean standard uptake value (SUVmean) of 68Ga-N188 in fat, muscle, skin, and brain tissues of 16 patients were 0.40±0.16 and 0.25±0.09, 0.68±0.20 and 0.44±0.12, 0.39±0.14 and 0.28±0.11, 0.09±0.04 and 0.05±0.02, respectively. In the tissues of the esophagus, liver, spleen, and pancreas, the above indicators were 1.53±0.48 and 1.16±0.31, 1.49±0.45 and 0.91±0.30, 1.40±0.30 and 1.02±0.24, 1.24±0.31 and 0.96±0.25, respectively. In tumor primary lesion, the above indicators were 3.28±1.02 and 2.14±0.62, respectively, showing significant differences in SUVmax and SUVmean compared with pancreatic tissue ( t=8.03, 6.75, P<0.05). The tumor background ratio in tumor primary lesion based on SUVmax was 1.82±0.58. (2) Expression of Nectin-4 and uptake of 68Ga-N188 in pancreatic cancer. Results of immunohistochemical staining in 16 patients showed that there were 7 patients with high Nectin-4 expression and 9 patients with low Nectin-4 expression. Results of PET/CT examination showed that the SUVmax of 68Ga-N188 in tumor primary lesion of the 7 patients with high Nectin-4 expression and 9 patients with low Nectin-4 expression were 3.77±1.10 and 2.64±0.68, showing a significant difference between them ( t=2.64, P<0.05). The SUVmax of 18F-FDG in tumor primary lesion of the 7 patients with high Nectin-4 expression and 9 patients with low Nectin-4 expression were 6.73±3.24 and 6.43±3.45, showing no significant difference between them ( t=0.17, P>0.05). (3) Comparison of examination results between 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Of the 16 patients, cases with positive results of tumor primary lesion on 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT were 14 and 11, respectively, for the 14 pancreatic cancer patients diagnosed by postoperative histopathology. Among them, cases with positive results of tumor primary lesion on 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT were 3 and 1 for the 3 pancreatic cancer patients receiving evaluation for chemotherapy. The SUVmax of 18F-FDG in tumor primary lesion of the 3 patients with chemotherapy and the 11 patients without chemotherapy were 2.80±0.69 and 6.97±2.11, showing a significant difference between them ( t=3.29, P<0.05). The SUVmax of 68Ga-N188 in tumor primary lesion of the 3 patients with chemotherapy and the 11 patients without chemotherapy were 3.38±1.12 and 2.93±0.50, showing no significant difference between them ( t=0.66, P>0.05). Cases with positive results of lymph node metastases in 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT were 6 and 4, respectively, for the 6 pancreatic cancer patients diagnosed with lymph node metastases by postoperative histopathology, and the SUVmax of 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG in lymph node metastases were 2.25±1.12 and 4.02±1.27. Conclusion:68Ga-N188 PET/CT can be used for imaging diagnosis of tumor primary lesion and lymph node metastases of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To investigate the pathway of self-disclosure to posttraumatic growth in patients after cervical cancer surgery, and to provide reference for improving the level of posttraumatic growth in patients.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to investigate 300 patients with cervical cancer after surgery in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from June to November 2022 by using general data questionnaire, Distress Disclosure Index (DDI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Shortened Chinese Version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS-C) and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) in a cross-section study.Results:A total of 290 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.7%. The patients were aged 23-70(48.13 ± 10.39) years. The scores of self-disclosure, resilience, family resilience and posttraumatic growth were (46.41 ± 9.82), (67.06 ± 14.63), (108.18 ± 11.06) and (58.24 ± 17.86) respectively. The results of pathway analysis showed that self-disclosure could not only directly predict posttraumatic growth, but also indirectly predict posttraumatic growth through the mediating role of resilience and family resilience, and the chain mediating role of resilience and family resilience, respectively. The direct effect of self-disclosure on posttraumatic growth was 0.236(95% CI 0.138-0.335), and the chain mediating effect of family resilience and resilience between self-disclosure and posttraumatic growth was 0.036(95% CI 0.018-0.060). Conclusions:Medical staff should not only consider the direct influence of self-disclosure on posttraumatic growth, but also pay attention to improve the resilience and family flexibility of patients after cervical cancer surgery, so as to promote their posttraumatic growth.

Objective:To investigate the role of serum hepatitis B virus RNA (HBV RNA) in predicting HBeAg serological conversion in children with chronic hepatitis B.Methods:175 children aged 1~17 years with chronic hepatitis B who received interferon α (IFNα) for 48 weeks were selected. Patients were divided into HBeAg seroconversion and non-conversion based on whether HBeAg seroconversion occurred at 48 weeks of treatment.T-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare between groups; chisquare test or Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the frequency between groups of classified variables; and Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between indicators. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify influencing factors associated with HBeAg serological conversion. The predictive effect of HBV RNA, HBV DNA, and HBsAg on HBeAg serological conversion was compared and analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results:The seroconversion rate of HBeAg at 48 weeks was 36.0% (63/175). The reduction in HBVRNA levels from baseline to the 12th, 24th, 36th, and 48th weeks of antiviral therapy was significantly greater in the HBeAg serological conversion group than that in the non-conversion group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (P < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses showed that age and a decline in HBV RNA levels at week 12 were independent predictors of HBeAg serological conversion. The area under the ROC curve (AUROC) of HBV RNA decline at week 12 was 0.677(95% CI∶0.549-0.806, P = 0.012), which was significantly better than the same period of AUROC of HBV DNA (0.657, 95% CI∶0.527-0.788, P = 0.025) and HBsAg (0.660, 95% CI∶0.526-0.795, P = 0.023) decline. HBV RNA levels decreased (>1.385 log10 copies/ml) at week 12, with a positive predictive value of 53.2%, a negative predictive value of 72.2%, a sensitivity of 77.4%, and a specificity of 57.9% for HBeAg seroconversion. Conclusion:HBV RNA level lowering during the 12th week of antiviral therapy can serve as an early predictor marker for HBeAg serological conversion in children with chronic hepatitis B.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is the most malignant thyroid cancer with a low incidence but high mortality. ATC is highly aggressive, rapidly progressing, and has poor prognosis. Current treatment options is not efficacious, so there is an urgent need to investigate its pathogenesis to update the treatment and improve the survival rate. Previous studies have found that most ATC can develop from well-differentiated thyroid cancer, and BRAF and RAS mutations are the key driving factors of ATC. TP53, PI3K pathway, PTEN, TERT, SWI/SNF complex Subunit, NF2 and other mutations also play an important role in the occurrence of ATC. Recent studies have found that single gene mutation is often not sufficient to drive the occurrence of ATC, and ATC is usually developed from the accumulation of multiple mutations in well-differentiated thyroid cancer. Therefore, this paper reviews the role of common combined mutations in ATC, deepens the understanding of the pathogenesis, and provides a basis for finding effective therapeutic targets.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the factors that promote and hinder exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease, and to provide reference for exercise intervention.Methods:The Cochrane Library,Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched for qualitative researches on the promoting and hindering factors of exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease.The retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to January 2022. Qualitative Research Authenticity Evaluation Tool (version 2016) from JBI Evidence-Based Health Care Center was used to evaluate the quality of the literatures, and Meta-integration was used to analyze the results.Results:A total of 10 articles were included and 60 results were extracted, which were grouped into 8 new categories and integrated into 2 results:the promoting factors included personal exercise motivation,exercise self-efficacy stimulation,physical and psychological benefits and good social support;the hindering factors included disease and treatment factors,low exercise self-efficacy,fear of exercise risk and weak social support.Conclusions:Exercise of patients with chronic kidney disease is affected by many factors, so we should deeply understand the actual situation of patients,pay attention to the core factors affecting exercise, and improve the health of patients.

Objective: To explore the application effect of a four-dimensional smile design as the leading and facial streamline as the reference system in the aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth. Methods: A case of scattered space in anterior teeth was treated with a four-dimensional smile design and digital aesthetic restoration with ultrathin porcelain veneer. The digital information of the patients was obtained through oral and facial scanning, and a four-dimensional smile design and prediction were carried out. After the treatment plan was jointly determined by doctors and patients, minimally invasive abutment preparation was carried out, and ultrathin porcelain veneer was made and bonded in place. After the operation, the esthetic degree and marginal fit were observed and reexamined one year after the repair. Results : The edges of the ultrathin ceramic veneers were naturally tight, and the color was coordinated, with satisfying pink and white esthetics. The face was more harmonious and natural when smiling. One year after the restoration, the facial aesthetics were wonderful, the abutment teeth and periodontal tissues were healthy, and the patients were satisfied. The results of the literature review showed that the fitting of temporal facial scanning and intraoral scanning data can accurately predict four-dimensional smile aesthetics, simulate the real state of the dynamic smile and pronunciation process, and combine it with facial streamlines to design a natural and coordinated personalized smile for patients with asymmetric faces. However, for patients with occlusal changes, unstable occlusion or temporomandibular joint disorder, it is necessary to add data fitting, such as electronic facial arch and cone beam CT, to more accurately simulate postoperative mandibular movement. Conclusion With a four-dimensional smile design as the leading and facial streamline as the reference system, the whole process digital design assisted the restoration of asymmetric anterior teeth with ultrathin porcelain veneer and had a good effect. The postoperative smiling of patients is harmonious and beautiful, which is in line with the expected effect. Patient participation and satisfaction are high; thus, this method is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate the immune characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 membrane (M) protein, especially the possibility of inducing antibody-dependent enhancement effect (ADE).Methods:Full-length SARS-CoV-2 M protein was prepared by prokaryotic expression system and purified. BALB/c mice were immunized subcutaneously three times (on day 1, day 14 and day 21) by purified M protein. Serum samples were collected before immunization and after each immunization. The specificity of immune sera against M protein was identified by Western blot, and the antibody titers were detected by ELISA and neutralization test. In the presence of anti-M protein serum, the proliferation of SARS-CoV-2 in dendritic cells, nature killer cells, T and B cells was detected in vitro. Results:The immune sera from BALB/c mice immunized with purified full-length M protein of SARS-CoV-2 specifically recognized viral M protein. The titer of anti-whole virus antibody in immune sera was about 1∶400, but the antibody could not neutralize live virus. Moreover, the antibody could not help the virus to infect and proliferate in the various types of immune cells with Fc receptor (FcR).Conclusions:Non-neutralizing antibody induced by M protein could not cause ADE through FcR pathway.
