The 2021 version of the Baveno Ⅶ consensus on portal hypertension and the 2023 guidelines from the European Association for the Study of the Liver define recompensated cirrhosis as the restoration and stabilization of liver function, improvement of liver fibrosis, and absence of decompensated cirrhosis for a long time following effective treatment of the underlying etiology of cirrhosis. Recompensated cirrhosis has become an important research direction in the field with the gradually increasing number of these patients. Temporary recompensation, stable recompensation, and long-term recompensation are the three stages into which patients with cirrhosis are divided, based on varying recompensation stages. Clinical characteristics and prognosis are significantly different among different stages. Patients in the temporary compensation stage have significant fluctuations in their condition and poor stability, with a high risk of recurrent complications. The prognosis of patients in the stable recompensation stage is significantly affected by the cause and the type of initial decompensation event, while the condition of patients in the long-term recompensation stage is more stable, and the long-term prognosis is close to that of compensated cirrhosis. This article aims to summarize and explore the recompensation rates at different stages of liver cirrhosis, the occurrence risk of various complications and liver cancer, and long-term management and treatment following recompensation, providing new directions for future research in this field.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum insulin like growth factor 1 receptor(IGF1R)and epidermal growth factor-like domain-containing protein 7(EGFL7)levels and the condition and pregnancy outcome of patients with preeclampsia(PE).Methods A total of 120 PE patients admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to January 2024(PE group)and 60 healthy pregnant women during the same peri-od(control group)were selected.The PE patients were divided into severe PE group(68 cases)and mild PE group(52 cases)according to their conditions,and divided into poor group(62 cases)and good group(68 ca-ses)according to the pregnancy outcome.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum IGF1R,EGFL7 levels.Using the pregnancy outcome of PE patients as the dependent variable,multivariate un-conditional Logistic regression was used to determine the influencing factors of their pregnancy outcomes,and receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum IGF1R and EGFL7 levels.Results Compared with the control group,serum IGF1R levels were reduced and EGFL7 levels were increased in the PE group(t=-16.908,16.234,P<0.001).Serum IGF1R levels were decreased and EGFL7 levels were increased in the severe PE group compared with the mild PE group(t=-5.317,5.305,P<0.001).The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in PE patients was 51.67%(62/120).The independent risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with PE were severe PE(OR=3.906,95%CI:1.305-11.689),elevated 24-h urinary protein(OR=2.030,95%CI:1.290-3.194),elevated EGFL7(OR=1.116,95%CI:1.040-1.198),and the independent protective factor was elevated IGF1R(OR=0.908,95%CI:0.865-0.954,P<0.05).The area under the curve for serum IGF1R and EGFL7 levels alone and in com-bination to predict adverse pregnancy outcomes in PE patients was 0.791(95%CI:0.707-0.860),0.784(95%CI:0.700-0.854),and 0.866(95%CI:0.781-0.911),and serum IGF1R and EGFL7 levels were grea-ter jointly(Z=2.456,2.244,P<0.05).Conclusion Decreased serum IGF1R levels and increased EGFL7 levels are associated with exacerbation and adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with PE,and the combina-tion of serum IGF1R and EGFL7 levels is of high value in predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with PE.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)308 gene loci polymorphism in children with febrile seizures(FS)and to explore the correlation between TNF-α 308 gene polymorphisms and FS in children.Methods:A total of 320 children diagnosed with FS in the Department of Emergency,Shanghai Children's Hospital from September 1st,2020 to June 30th,2021 were enrolled as the study subjects,which were divided into simple febrile seizures(SFS)group(232 cases)and complex febrile seizures(CFS)group(88 cases)based on their clinical characteristics,and the clinical characteristics and laboratory indexes of the two groups were compared. Children with no history of convulsions were selected as the control group(160 cases). The high-resolution melting and gene sequencing technology were used to analyze the polymorphism of TNF-α 308 gene in each group and the distribution of different gene types and allele frequencies among the groups was compared. A multivariate Logistic regression model was constructed to analyze the relationship between TNF-α 308 gene polymorphism and FS.Results:The age,mean corpuscular volume,mean corpuscular hemoglobin and platelet distribution width of the CFS group were significantly higher than those in the SFS group,and the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05).There was no significant difference in gender distribution,family history of FS,history of FS,body temperature at time of convulsions,WBC,Hb,CRP and PLT between the two groups(all P>0.05).The genotype frequency distribution of TNF-α 308 polymorphism in the three groups was in line with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium( P>0.05).The AA genotype of TNF-α 308 locus was not detected in the study.Compared with the control group[17 cases(10.6%)],the distribution proportion of GA genotype in the CFS group[22cases(25.0%)]and the SFS group[52cases(22.4%)]was increased,and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=11.126, P=0.004);Compared with the control group[17 frequencies(5.3%)],the frequency distribution proportion of allele A in the CFS group[22 frequencies(12.5%)]and SFS group[52 frequencies(11.2%)]was also increased,and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=9.960, P=0.007). Adding control factors such as gender,age,family history of FS,body temperature at time of convulsions and blood routine markers,the multivariate Logistic regression model was constructed to show that there was no statistically significant association between TNF-α 308 genotype and CFS in children( OR=1.805,95% CI:0.926~3.519, P=0.083). Conclusion:In this study,there was no significant correlation between TNF-α 308 gene loci polymorphism and CFS in children.
