Kawasaki disease(KD)is an acute systemic vasculitis primarily affecting small- and medium-sized arteries in children,with widespread inflammation as the major pathological hallmark. A subset of patients with KD exhibit resistance to high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG)therapy,which significantly increases the risk of developing severe cardiovascular complications,particularly coronary artery lesions(CAL). Interferon gamma-inducible protein 10(IP-10),a chemokine,exerts its biological functions by binding to its specific receptor,chemokine receptor 3(CXCR3). In the relevant research on KD,the association between IP-10 and IP-10 gene polymorphism with KD has garnered significant attention from both domestic and international researchers. This article reviews the recent research progress on the relationship between IP-10,its gene polymorphism and KD,with the aim of providing references for the pathogenesis,prevention,treatment and prognosis of KD.

Objective:To summarize the characteristics and management experience of pregnancy after bariatric surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on four pregnant patients who had undergone pre-pregnant bariatric surgery and delivered at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, from January 2021 to December 2023. The analysis included the type of bariatric surgery, the interval between bariatric surgery and pregnancy, pregnancy complications, and neonatal birth conditions. Descriptive statistical analysis was used.Results:Among the four patients, two were primiparas and two were multiparas. All patients were obese (body mass index≥27.5 kg/m2) before undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Before the current pregnancy, three patients had a normal body mass index, while one patient remained obese (body mass index 30.5 kg/m2). The interval between bariatric surgery and pregnancy exceeded one year for three patients (14, 14, and 60 months, respectively), while one patient became pregnant 10 months after surgery. Three patients developed normocytic anemia in early pregnancy, with the lowest hemoglobin levels of 101 to 106 g/L. After nutritional guidance and medication, hemoglobin levels returned to normal before delivery. One patient experienced a threatened late miscarriage at 26 weeks of gestation, which was successfully managed with tocolytic therapy. One patient was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 27 weeks of gestation and achieved satisfactory blood glucose control through dietary and exercise guidance. Oral glucose tolerance tests for all four patients showed low fasting blood glucose levels (3.8-4.5 mmol/L) and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose levels (3.5-6.1 mmol/L). All four patients delivered at term, with no cases of small for gestational age infants.Conclusions:Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is prone to maternal nutrient deficiencies and blood glucose fluctuations. Multidisciplinary collaborative management and individualized nutritional guidance are recommended to reduce the risk of related complications.

Objective:To develop and validate clinical predictive models for identifying poor short-term response to recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) treatment in children with short stature.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 118 children diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency or idiopathic short stature who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and two other hospitals between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2024. A poor response to rhGH was defined as a height increase of less than 0.2 standard deviation score(SDS) after 6 months of rhGH treatment. LASSO regression was used to identify predictive variables from baseline and follow-up data. Two logistic regression models were conducted: Model A(incorporating baseline variables only) and model B(incorporating both baseline and follow-up variables), and nomograms were created for visualization. External data and internal resampling were used for dual validation of the models, and their performance was compared.Results:A total of 118 children with short stature were included. Six baseline predictive variables(diagnosis, initial height SDS, bone age, bone age-chronological age difference, rhGH dose, and gender) and one follow-up variable(height SDS after 3 months of rhGH treatment) were identified. Area under the curve values for Model A and Model B were 0.753(95% CI 0.696-0.811) and 0.930(95% CI 0.891-0.975), respectively. Calibration curves, decision curve analysis, and other evaluation metrics demonstrated good discrimination and clinical utility for both models. Model B, incorporating the 3-month follow-up variable, showed superior predictive performance compared to Model A. Conclusions:The clinical prediction models developed in this study(Model A and Model B) are practical and reliable tools for quantitatively, conveniently, and intuitively identifying children with short stature at risk of poor response to rhGH treatment.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the value of carotid,radial and podalic artery intima thickness(CIT,RIT,PIT)combined with monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio(MHR)in predicting the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with premature coronary artery disease(PCAD).Methods:A total of 80 patients with PCAD who received treatment in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from October 2023 to May 2024 were prospectively recruited,and they were divided into high group(≥41 score,40 cases)and low group(<41 score,40 cases)according to the median dichotomy of Gensini score. Thirty-four gender,age and body mass index(BMI)-matched healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. The CIT,RIT,PIT,media and intima media thickness of carotid,radial artery and podalic artery(CMT,RMT,PMT,CIMT,RIMT,PIMT)were measured using 24 MHz ultra-high frequency ultrasound probe,and the ratio of intima to media thickness(CIT/CMT,RIT/RMT,PIT/PMT)was calculated. The differences of general clinical data,laboratory indexes and ultrasonic parameters among the three groups were compared. Risk factors affecting the severity of coronary stenosis in PCAD patients were explored by binary logistic regression. Subject working characteristic curves were plotted,area under the curve(AUC)was calculated,and the values of each ultrasound parameter and MHR in the independent and combined diagnosis of the severity of coronary artery stenosis in PCAD patients were evaluated.Results:①There were no statistically significant differences in age,gender,BMI,total cholesterol,CMT,RMT and PMT among the three groups(all P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the comparison of smoking,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,total cholesterol,and triglycerides between the two subgroups of the PCAD(all P>0.05). ②CIT,CIMT,CIT/CMT,RIT,RIMT,RIT/RMT,PIT,PIMT,PIT/PMT were thickened in the high group compared with the low group,and MHR was higher than in the low group(all P<0.05),the differences in the above parameters remained statistically significant when comparing the PCAD group with the control group(all P<0.05). ③The AUC values for MHR,CIT,RIT and PIT alone to predict the severity of coronary stenosis in patients with PCAD were 0.781,0.767,0.780 and 0.722,respectively. The combined diagnostic efficiency of the four parameters was better than the independent diagnostic efficiency(AUC = 0.885). Conclusions:CIT,RIT and PIT are thicker in PCAD patients with high Gensini score and the combination of artery intima thickness and MHR has good efficacy in predicting the severity of coronary artery stenosis in PCAD patients.
