Objective:To characterize fine motor function in middle-aged and elderly individuals utilizing a novel wearable inertial motion capture device.Additionally, it seeks to investigate the relationship between fine motor deficits and overall cognitive function, as well as various cognitive dimensions.Methods:Participants aged 50 years and older were recruited between November 2022 and April 2023.The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA)was employed to evaluate the cognitive function of the subjects, and a radar chart was utilized to illustrate the extent of impairment across different cognitive dimensions.An independent computerized fine motor evaluation system was developed using the motion capture technology of a novel wearable microelectromechanical system(MEMS)inertial sensor, enabling a quantitative assessment of fine motor skills.The differences in fine motor function characteristics between the two groups were compared.Spearman's correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to examine the relationship between fine motor deficits and cognitive dysfunction.Results:A total of 289 participants were recruited, among whom 140(48.4%)were classified into the cognitive impairment group.The mean MoCA scores for the cognitive impairment group and the non-cognitive impairment group were 22.2 ± 2.79 and 27.7 ± 1.19, respectively( P<0.001).The electronic assessment of fine motor function revealed that the motion parameters of hand function in the cognitive impairment group were significantly poorer across all three numerical evaluation tasks.Spearman's correlation analysis demonstrated a robust correlation between deficits in fine motor function and cognitive dysfunction.Furthermore, in the multiple logistic regression model, after adjusting for potential confounding factors including age, gender, and education level, a significant association between cognitive dysfunction and fine motor dysfunction persisted. Conclusions:A novel wearable motion capture technology was employed to facilitate the digital assessment of fine motor function.The findings revealed a significant correlation between deficits in fine motor function and cognitive dysfunction among middle-aged and elderly populations.

Objective To explore the characteristics of fine motor deficits in the elderly individuals with MCI due to AD through a new wearable inertial motion capture device,and then construct a prediction model for MCI.Methods A total of 260 elderly subjects were recruited in community from November,2022 to April,2023,and based on diagnosis,they were divided into a MCI group(134 cases)and a control group(126 cases).A new wearable inertial motion capture device,which was self-designed and developed based on MEMS inertial sensor,was used to capture the fine mo-tor movements of the hands,and the obtained data were analyzed with a computerized assessment system to make the quantitative evaluation of fine motor.LASSO learning algorithm and logistic regression analysis were employed to identify the predictive factors for MCI,and then a nomo-gram was constructed based on these factors.ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive ability of the model by calculating its AUC value.DC A,CIC,and Bootstrap method were applied to evaluate and validate the clinical utility and stability of the model.Results The total score of MoCA(22.18±2.84 vs 27.60±1.10)and scores of the dimensions were significantly lower in the MCI group than the control group(all P＜0.01).In the five digital assessment tasks,the MCI group showed obviously poorer fine motor performance of both hands than the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of our nomogram model in predicting MCI was 0.762(95％CI:0.705-0.819).DCA,CIC,and Bootstrap methods demonstra-ted good and relatively stable discrimination,calibration,and clinical applicability of the model.Conclusion MEMS inertial sensor motion capture technology can make digital evaluation of fine motor.For the elderly,fine motor deficits are significantly associated with risk for MCI.Our no-mogram model based on fine motion parameters shows good predictive efficacy in assessing the risk of MCI.

Objective:To investigate the endoscopic and pathological characteristics of metachronous early gastric cancer (EGC) after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for EGC.Methods:Data of 451 consecutive EGC patients treated with ESD at the Department of Gastroenterology, Peking University Third Hospital between 1 January, 2005 and 31 December, 2022 were retrospectively collected, of which 252 patients who met the criteria and had endoscopic follow-up ≥ 1 year were enrolled in the retrospective dynamic cohort. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for metachronous EGC after ESD. Pearson's contingency coefficient was applied to analyze endoscopic correlation between the index and metachronous lesions. T-test, χ2 test, and Fisher exact test were used to compare endoscopic pathological features between index and metachronous lesions, the proportion of lesions meeting absolute ESD indication and their maximum diameters between patients undergoing annual vs bi-annual follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis assessed the cumulative incidence of metachronous EGC. Results:During a median follow-up of 40 months, 26 patients [10.3% (26/252)] developed metachronous EGC, with a mean interval of 43.9 months. Multivariate Cox regression identified the independent risk factors of index lesions including location in the middle third of the stomach ( HR=3.783, 95% CI: 1.300-11.011, P=0.015), in the anterior wall ( HR=3.934, 95% CI: 1.113-13.904, P=0.033), and the maximum diameter <15 mm ( HR=3.034, 95% CI: 1.074-8.571, P=0.036). Pearson's contingency coefficient showed no significant concordance between index and metachronous lesions for vertical location (C=0.375, P=0.372), horizontal location (C=0.508, P=0.434), gross morphology (C=0.287, P=0.675), or ulcer presence (C=0.194, P=0.313). Compared to index lesions, metachronous lesions were more frequently located on the posterior wall (lesser curvature/greater curvature/anterior wall/posterior wall: 11/2/1/12 VS 96/49/46/61, P=0.031), more often differentiated (differentiated/undifferentiated: 26/0 VS 214/38, P=0.032), and smaller in maximum diameter (8.08±5.99 mm VS 13.95±10.26 mm, t=4.383, P<0.001). No significant differences were observed between patients undergoing annual vs bi-annual follow-up in the proportion of metachronous lesions meeting absolute ESD indication (14/16 VS 9/9, P=0.520) or in maximum diameter (8.11±6.94 mm VS 6.67±4.35 mm, t=-0.275, P=0.535). The cumulative incidence curve of metachronous EGC plateaued after 10 years. Conclusion:Patients with EGC located in the middle third of the stomach, in the anterior wall, or of smaller diameter need intensive endoscopic surveillance after ESD. Posterior wall deserves particular attention during follow-up, with annual endoscopy recommended for at least 10 years post-ESD.

Maternal obesity has been shown to exert adverse transgenerational effects on offspring ovarian function,characterized by reduced ovarian follicle reserve,impaired granulosa cell function,and disrupted reproductive cycles.The underlying mechanisms involve cellular stress-induced damage characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction,oxidative stress,and apoptosis,as well as dysregulation in key regulatory pathways such as ovarian hormone secretion,gene expression,and epigenetic modifications.This review synthesizes existing evidence on how maternal obesity-induced acute stress and chronic genetic/epigenetic alterations jointly contribute to offspring ovarian impairment.The findings elu-cidate the complex relationship between maternal metabolic status and offspring reproductive health,providing a robust theoretical foundation for refining prenatal management and developing targeted intervention strategies.

Aim To explore the effects of exercise during pregnancy on renal structure,function and angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)/transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)/connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)signaling pathway in 3-month-old offspring of spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR),the aim of this study was to provide experimental basis for early intervention of hypertension and protection of key target organs.Methods After mating SHR and WKY rats,pregnant rats were randomly divided into sedentary group(p-WKY-SED,p-SHR-SED)and exercise group(p-WKY-EX,p-SHR-EX).Blood pressure,serum urea nitrogen and creatinine were measured by caudal artery non-invasive blood pressure system and colorimetry in 3-month-old offspring rats.HE staining,Masson staining,ELISA and Western blot were used to detect the renal structure,collagen volume fraction,Ang Ⅱ concentration,renin-angiotension-aldosterone sys-tem(RAAS)and protein expression related to fibrogenic signal pathway in 3-month-old rats.Results(1)The sys-tolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)of offspring rats in p-SHR-SED group were significantly higher than those in p-WKY-SED group.The SBP,DBP and MAP of SHR male off-spring rats were significantly decreased by exercise during pregnancy(P＜0.05),but had no effect on the female offspring rats(P＞0.05).(2)There was no significant difference in serum urea nitrogen and creatinine among the groups(P＞0.05).(3)The glomerular volume and the collagen volume fraction in p-SHR-SED group were significantly higher than those in p-WKY-SED group(P＜0.05),and the glomerular volume and the collagen volume fraction in p-SHR-EX group were significantly lower than those in p-SHR-SED group(P＜0.05).(4)Renal Ang Ⅱ level of offspring rats in p-SHR-SED group was significantly higher than that in p-WKY-SED group,and renal Ang Ⅱ level of offspring rats in p-SHR-EX group was significantly lower than that in p-SHR-SED group(P＜0.05).(5)The expression levels of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor(AT1R),TGF-β1 and CTGF protein in p-SHR-SED group were significantly higher than those in p-WKY-SED group(P＜0.05),while the expression levels of angiotensin converting enzyme 2(ACE2),angiotensin Ⅱ type 2 receptor(AT2R)and MasR protein in p-SHR-SED group were significantly lower than those in p-WKY-SED group(P＜0.05).Conclusion(1)Exercise during pregnancy can significantly decrease the blood pressure of 3-month-old male offspring rats of hypertensive rats,but has no significant effect on that of 3-month-old female offspring.(2)Exercise during preg-nancy may reduce renal fibrosis in 3-month-old female/male offspring of hypertensive rats by regulating RAAS balance and inhibiting Ang Ⅱ/TGF-β1/CTGF signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the effect of maternal exercise on blood pressure,cardiac pheno-type and susceptibility to myocardial is chemia/reperfusion(MI/R)injury in adult male offsprings of mice.Methods Pregnant mice were randomly divided into a sedentary group(p-Ctr)and an exercise group(p-EX),each of 12.The exercise group underwent daily 60-minutenon-weight bearing swim-ming from gestational day(GD)1 to 18,6 days a week.Then,their male offsprings at 3 months of age(3M)were selected as the research subjects,namely the Ctr-3M group and the EX-3M group,with 12 mice in each group.The MI/R model was established by ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery(LAD)surgery(30 min of ischemia,24 h of reperfusion).Then,the systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),and mean arterial pressure(MAP)were monitored non-invasively via tail artery blood pressure measurement,while the cardiac function was detected by using the small animal ultrasound.Moreover,the cardiac morphology and col-lagen volume fraction(CVF)of myocardium was observed by HE staining and Masson staining,respec-tively.Meanwhile,the cross-sectional area(CSA)of myocardial cells and myocardial infarction area(INF/AAR)was measured using WGA staining and Evans Blue-TTC double staining,accordingly.What's more,the apoptosis index(AI)of myocardial cells and serum cardiac troponin I(cTnI)were de-tected by using TUNEL staining and ELISA,respectively,while the expression levels of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins were determined by using Western blotting.Results 1)From GD11 to GD19,the body weight of females in the p-EX group was always significantly lower than that in the p-Ctr group(GD11,GD13;P<0.05;GD12,GD14～GD19;P<0.01),but there was no significant difference in the litter size and abortion rate(P>0.05).2)There were no significant differences between the EX-3M and Ctr-3M groups in the heart weight(HW),body weight(BW)and heart weight to body weight ratio(HW/BW),SBP,DBP,MAP,myocardial CVF,and CSA of male offsprings(P>0.05).After MI/R surgery,in both p-Ctr and p-EX groups,myocardial transverse striations disappeared and cardiomyocytes were disarranged with degeneration and necrosis.Moreover,CVF of the EX-3M group was significantly lower than the Ctr-3M group after MI/R surgery(P<0.05).3)No significant differenc-es were found between the Ctr-3M and EX-3M groups in the average cardiac ejection fraction(EF),fractional shortening(FS),left ventricle internal diameter in diastole(LVIDd),and left ventricle inter-nal diameter in systole(LVIDs)(P>0.05).However,after the MI/R surgery,the postoperative EF and FS(P<0.01),and LVIDs(P<0.05)in the EX-3M group were significantly higher than the Ctr-3M group,without significant difference in LVIDd(P>0.05).4)After MI/R surgery,the average AI,INF/AAR and serum cTnI level of the EX-3M group were significantly lower than the Ctr-3M group(P<0.01 for all).5)The relative expression level of myocardial Bcl-2 protein after MI/R surgery in the EX-3M group was significantly higher than the Ctr-3M group(P<0.05),while that of myocardial Bax protein(P<0.05)and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio(P<0.01)were significantly lower than the latter.Conclu-sions Prenatal exercise significantly reduces the susceptibility to myocardial ischemia injury in 3-month-old male mice offspring,improves the contractile function of their heart,and attenuates the degree of cardiomyocyte apoptosis and necrosis,exerting a cardioprotective effect in MI/R injury.
