Objective To investigate the effect of the rs3765467 polymorphism of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor(GLP-1R)gene on the efficacy of Liraglutide(Lir)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and metabolic associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD).Methods A total of 281 patients with T2DM from May 2022 to May 2023 were selected,including 125 patients with simple T2DM(T2DM group)and 156 patients with T2DM combined with MAFLD(T2DM+MAFLD group).120 healthy individuals during the same period were selected as the control(NC)group.The related indexes of glucose and lipid metabolism were detected.The polymorphism of GLP-1R gene rs3765467 was detected.Results BMI,FPG,HbA1c,HOMA-IR and TG in each group increased in turn(P<0.05),while the distribution frequency of genotype GG and allele G decreased in turn(P<0.05).TC and LDL-C in T2DM and T2DM+MAFLD groups were higher than those in NC group(P<0.05).TC and TG levels in genotype GA/AA patients were significantly higher than those in genotype GG patients(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,the levels of BMI,FPG,HbA1c,HOMA-IR,TC,TG and LDL-C in T2DM patients with MAFLD were significantly decreased after Lir treatment(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in BMI and related indexes of glucose and lipid metabolism in GG and GA/AA patients before and after Lir treatment(P>0.05).Conclusions The distribution frequency of GG and G allele at rs3765467 of GLP-1R gene is reduced in T2DM patients with MAFLD.The carrying of allele A was associated with increased TC and TG levels,but did not affect the efficacy of Lir in reducing weight and improving glycolipid metabolism.

Objective To analyze the factors influencing iodine nutritional status in pregnant women dur-ing pregnancy,based on thyroid function and thyroid autoantibody levels,and to explore the association between iodine nutritional abnormalities and pregnancy outcomes.Methods A total of 838 pregnant women who underwent routine prenatal checkups at Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital between January 2021 and June 2023 were pro-spectively enrolled in this study.All participants were followed until delivery.Seven cases were lost to follow-up,resulting in a final sample size of 831 participants.Among them,276 were in the first trimester,384 in the second trimester,and 171 in the third trimester.Data on urinary iodine concentration(UIC),urinary creatinine(UCr),thyroid function indicators,and thyroid autoantibodies were collected.Based on their iodine nutritional status,the participants were categorized into either the iodine-sufficient group or the iodine-abnormal group(including iodine-deficient,iodine-hyper-sufficient,and iodine-excessive subgroups).This study analyzed the iodine nutritional sta-tus of pregnant women during different gestational periods,compared thyroid function indices,prevalence of thy-roid diseases,and the positivity rates of thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb),thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb),and thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody(TRAb)among different iodine status groups.Additionally,ad-verse pregnancy outcomes were compared across groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors associated with iodine abnormalities during pregnancy,and a predictive model was developed to assess its potential predictive value.Results Among the 831 pregnant women included in the study,373 cases(44.89％)exhibited iodine sufficiency,while 458 cases(55.11％)presented with iodine abnormalities,including 282 cases of iodine deficiency,144 cases of iodine hypersufficiency,and 32 cases of iodine excess.No statistically significant differences were observed in the iodine nutritional status across different trimesters(P>0.05).The se-rum level of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH)was significantly higher in the iodine abnormal group compared to the iodine sufficient group(P<0.05).Additionally,the iodine abnormal group demonstrated higher positivity rates of TPOAb alone,TGAb,and TRAb,as well as increased incidence of thyroid dysfunction and total adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to the iodine sufficient group(all P<0.05).These adverse indicators were also sig-nificantly elevated in the iodine-deficient,iodine super-sufficient,and iodine overdose subgroups compared to the iodine sufficient group(P<0.05).Elevated serum TSH levels and the presence of TPOAb,TGAb,and TRAb were identified as risk factors for iodine abnormalities during pregnancy(P<0.05).The predictive model con-structed for identifying iodine abnormalities in pregnant women demonstrated an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.876,with a sensitivity of 72.27％and a specificity of 89.01％.Conclusions The prevalence of iodine nutritional abnormalities among pregnant women during pregnancy was high,with most cases presenting iodine deficiency.These abnormalities were associated with thyroid function,thyroid autoimmunity,and pregnancy outcomes,but showed no significant correlation with gestational age.Furthermore,the prediction model developed based on iden-tified risk factors demonstrated effective performance in predicting iodine nutritional abnormalities during preg-nancy.

Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD) is a rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic disease.Pathogenic mutations in ALDH5A1 genes lead to abnormalities in the structure, activity and function of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, resulting in a series of neurological damage.Due to the rarity of SSADHD and the huge differences in its clinical manifestations, it often leads to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, and the treatment is mainly symptomatic.There is no specific drug or treatment.In March 2024, the SSADHD consensus group, composed of SSADHD researchers from 19 institutions in 11 countries and regions, released the " Consensus Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency" , which elaborates on the definition, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of SSADHD, aiming to standardize and unify the diagnosis and management of SSADHD.This article interprets the key contents of the guidelines, in order to provide guidance for the early screening, diagnosis and treatment of SSADHD in China.

OX40 is a costimulatory receptor that is expressed primarily on activated CD4⁺, CD8⁺, and regulatory T cells. The ligation of OX40 to its sole ligand OX40L potentiates T cell expansion, differentiation, and activation and also promotes dendritic cells to mature to enhance their cytokine production. Therefore, the use of agonistic anti-OX40 antibodies for cancer immunotherapy has gained great interest. However, most of the agonistic anti-OX40 antibodies in the clinic are OX40L-competitive and show limited efficacy. Here, we discovered that BGB-A445, a non-ligand-competitive agonistic anti-OX40 antibody currently under clinical investigation, induced optimal T cell activation without impairing dendritic cell function. In addition, BGB-A445 dose-dependently and significantly depleted regulatory T cells in vitro and in vivo via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. In the MC38 syngeneic model established in humanized OX40 knock-in mice, BGB-A445 demonstrated robust and dose-dependent antitumor efficacy, whereas the ligand-competitive anti-OX40 antibody showed antitumor efficacy characterized by a hook effect. Furthermore, BGB-A445 demonstrated a strong combination antitumor effect with an anti-PD-1 antibody. Taken together, our findings show that BGB-A445, which does not block OX40-OX40L interaction in contrast to clinical-stage anti-OX40 antibodies, shows superior immune-stimulating effects and antitumor efficacy and thus warrants further clinical investigation.

Objective:To analyze the categories, scoring methods and effects of dietary patterns in heart failure patients, systematically.Methods:The databases such as Medline, Embase, and Cochrane were searched to obtain articles on dietary patterns of heart failure patients up to December 31, 2019. Arksey and O′Malley's scoping review method was applied to analyze the articles.Results:A total of 1 500 studies were identified, 21 of them met the inclusion criteria. These studies mainly studied Mediterranean diet(11 articles), Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Diet(7 articles), Palaeolithic diet(1 article), low fat diet(1 article), High-protein Diet(1 article).Conclusions:The Mediterranean and DASH dietary patterns have a positive protective effect on heart failure disease prevention and treatment, but more randomized controlled trials are needed to improve the reliability of the conclusions.

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a childhood-onset condition that primarily affects physical co-ordination.In China, DCD is not well recognized and is under-treated.Knowledge of the evaluation and intervention of DCD among physiotherapists (PT) is limited.In 2020, the Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy of the American Physical Therapy Association published the Physical Therapy Management of Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: An Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline.From the perspective of PT, this review aims to make a comprehensive interpretation of the recommendations in the guideline regarding the physical examination and evaluation, physiotherapy planning and implementation, and family education of children at risk or diagnosed with DCD.This article aims to make DCD get more attention from domestic PT through the interpretation of the latest guidelines, and strengthen the knowledge of physiotherapy assessment and management in children with DCD to guide the clinical practice.

Objective To explore the development and clinical effect of weight_adjustable suit for children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Methods Twenty_six cerebral_palsy children with involuntary movement admitted to the Third Hospital Affiliated to Jiamusi University from March to October 2016 were randomly divided into the observa_tion group and the control group,13 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine rehabilitation trai_ning. The observation group was put on adjustable heavy clothes besides conventional rehabilitation. Before and after treatment,childrenˊs functional independence and gross motor function were assessed and compared by using Wee Punc_tional Independence Measure(Wee_PIM)and Gross Motor Punction Rating Scale(GMPM_88). Results After treat_ment the Wee_PIM score of the control group was(43. 24 ± 5. 58),the GMPM score was(61. 81 ± 9. 46),the Wee_PIM score of the observation group was(50. 21 ± 6. 03),and the GMPM score was(65. 73 ± 10. 17). There were sig_nificant differences between the two groups(P〈0. 05),while the scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group,and the difference was significant(t﹦2. 582,2. 346,all P〈0. 05). Conclusions The adjustable heavy suit can effectively improve the functional independence and gross motor function of cerebral palsy children with involuntary movement and their comprehensive ability,and it is worth trying clinically.

Objective To observe the effects of neuromuscular activation (Neurac) training on balance and walking in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Methods 30 children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy from March to October, 2015 were divided into observation group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Both groups received routine rehabilitation, while the observation group received 30-minute Neurac training in addition, 5 times a week, for 3 months. They were assessed with D and E domains of Gross Motor Function Measure 88 (GM-FM-88), balance of Fugl-Meyer Assessment and footprints analysis before and after treatment. Results The scores of D and E domains of GMFM-88 and balance of Fugl-Meyer Assessment, and the step length, step width and velocity improved in both groups after training (t>7.31, P<0.001), especially in the observation group (t>2.08, P<0.05). Conclusion Neuroac training can further promote the recovery of gross motor function, balance and walking in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
