Objective:To investigate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on energy metabolism and thermal balance in ICU patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:This study was a prospective observational study, which included AKI patients who underwent CRRT in ICU of the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from May 2020 to December 2023. The patients' general clinical characteristics, comorbidities, body temperature, disease severity score, CRRT treatment time and filter lifespan were recorded. The concentrations of glucose and lactate in blood and ultrafiltrate, and the citrate level in the ultrafiltrate when regional citrate anticoagulation adopted were analyzed regularly. Subgroup analysis was carried out according to different anticoagulation modes and whether the patients with diabetes or shock. The changes of energy metabolism and thermal balance corresponding to the changes in glucose, lactate, citrate and body temperature induced by CRRT were calculated daily.Results:This study included 420 AKI patients undergoing CRRT. When the blood lactate was between 14-18 mmol/L, there was a loss of approximately 200-250 kcal of energy per day, while the blood lactate was between 6.5-11.5 mmol/L, the daily corresponding energy loss was about 100-150 kcal. During CRRT on the first day, the patients with diabetes or shock had a mild decrease of blood glucose, while patients without diabetes and shock had mild increase of blood glucose. When the target of blood glucose was gradually achieved, the mean daily increase of energy corresponding to blood glucose intake was about 100-130 kcal in patients undergoing CRRT. The mean daily increase of energy corresponding to citrate intake was approximately 330 kcal, when the patient was undertaken by CRRT with regional citrate anticoagulation. For every 1℃ decrease in body temperature, the mean daily heat loss caused by extracorporeal thermal radiation during CRRT was about 200 kcal.Conclusions:When conducting nutritional assessment and prescription for AKI patients supported by CRRT in the ICU, it is essential to fully consider the impact of CRRT on the patient's energy metabolism and heat balance. This includes the clearance of lactate, the balance of blood glucose, the intake of citrate, and the reduction in body temperature. Additionally, the type and stage of the disease, as well as individual differences, must be taken into account to achieve personalized nutritional assessment and precise implementation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between prolactin and mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 319 postmenopausal women with T2DM who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology,Drum Tower Hospital,Affiliated Hospital of Medical School,Nanjing University were enrolled in this study from August 2016 to October 2023.All the patients were divided into two groups according whether they had MCI:T2DM group(n=161)and MCI group(n=158).Differences in clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between sex hormones and cognitive domains,and Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors for MCI development.Results Serum prolactin levels were significantly lower in the MCI group than in the T2DM group[(5.5±2.1)vs(7.2±2.9)μg/L,P<0.05].Serum prolactin level was positively correlated with mini-mental state examination score,Montreal cognitive assessment score,immediate memory score,visuopatial constructional score,attention score and hippocampal volume(P<0.05),and negatively correlated with processing speed test(time)and executive function test(time)(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that serum prolactin level was an influencing factor for the risk of MCI in postmenopausal women with T2DM(OR 0.715,95%CI 0.605～0.845,P<0.01).Conclusions The decrease of serum prolactin level is associated with an increased risk of MCI in postmenopausal women with T2DM.

In recent years, the incidence of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) has been increasing with the aging of the population, and the cognitive impairment caused by it has brought huge burden to patients and their families. As a novel inflammatory biomarker, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2) directly participates in the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment in patients with CSVD by regulating circulatory vascular injury and neuroinflammation, and is expected to become a predictive indicator and therapeutic target for CSVD.

Objective:To explore the effect of intervention model based on comprehensive nutrition management on glucose and lipid metabolism and pregnancy outcome in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:104 GDM patients admitted to Shanxi Bethune Hospital from February 2022 to March 2023 were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, with 52 cases in each group. The control group implemented routine management measures and nutrition guidance, while the experimental group implemented an intervention model based on comprehensive nutrition management on the basis of routine management. The indexes of glucose and lipid metabolism (glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol), pregnancy outcome, self-management ability and self-efficacy were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.Results:Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in general situation, glucose and lipid metabolism index, self-management ability and self-efficacy between the two groups ( P>0.05). After the intervention, the level of glucose and lipid metabolism index in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The scores of self-management ability and self-efficacy in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The intervention model based on comprehensive nutrition management can effectively improve the glucose and lipid metabolism index and pregnancy outcome of GDM patients, and significantly improve their self-management ability and self-efficacy related to nutrition management, which has high clinical application and promotion value.

Objective To analyze the relationship of the volume of 87 brain regions with postnatal age and neurobehavior in full-term neonates.Methods A total of 75 full-term newborns[gestational age(39.38±1.22)weeks;male/female(51/24);postnatal age(11.11±6.67)days]without abnormalities on brain MRI(three-dimensional T1-weighted imaging,3D T1WI)at our hospital between November 2010 and September 2017 were retrospectively included.Based on the template of 87 brain regions,the neonatal brains were divided into 87 brain regions and their volumes were calculated by using V-shape Bottleneck network(VB-Net)deep learning segmentation technique,Pearson partial correlation and regression analysis were used to explore the relationship of the volume of each brain region with postnatal age and neurobehavioral scores.Results After adjusting for gestational age,birth weight,head circumference,body length and sex,66.7％of the regional brain volumes(58/87 brain regions)significantly increased with the postnatal age(correlation coefficient r:0.2-0.7,P＜0.05).The volumes of gray matter in bilateral lentiform nucleus,left caudate nucleus,right occipital lobe,right inferior temporal lobe,and bilateral anterior temporal lobe strongly correlated with the postnatal age(r＞0.50,P＜0.05).The gray matter volume of the right occipital lobe linearly increased with age(slope:100.67),and was positively correlated with behavioral scores(r=0.324,P＜0.01).Conclusion Most of regional brain volumes increase with the postnatal age during the neonatal period,and the fastest growth occurs in primary sensorimotor-related brain regions,presenting the spatial heterogeneity.Partial brain region grows with the development of behavioral ability.

Objective To explore the effect of exposure to noise of 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)on children's cochlear function.Methods We prospectively recruited 72 children who underwent cranial MRI examination at our hospital from May to November 2018;3M earplugs and sponge mats were used for hearing protection during MRI scanning.Noise level(dBA)of each MRI sequence was detected with a nonmagnetic microphone and a sound level meter.Distortion product otoacoustic emissions(DPOAE)test at 2-7 kHz was performed 24 hours before and 30 minutes after the MRI examination.Paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze differences in DPOAE amplitude before and after the MRI examination.Results The average noise level of MRI measured in the study was(107.7±3.92)dBA.Compared with that before the MRI examination,the DPOAE amplitude(dB)changed little after the MRI examination;the range of amplitude differences in each age group was as follows:left ear(-0.24-1.10)and right ear(-0.24-0.74)in the 0-1 year-old group;left ear(-0.07-0.59)and right ear(-0.57-0.75)in the 2-5 year-old group;left ear(-0.36-0.44)and right ear(-0.30-0.57)in the 6-12 year-old group.No statistically significant difference was found(correction P＞0.05).Conclusion No potential impact of 3.0T MRI noise on children's cochlear function was observed under routine hearing protection.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of ultrasound induction combined with acupunc-ture points and polyethylene glycol 4000 powder for treating constipation in elderly patients with hip fracture. Methods A randomized parallel controlled method was adopted.A total of 100 inpatients meeting the inclu-sion criteria were divided into the control group and treatment group.Fifty cases in the control group were given polyethylene glycol 4000 powder,10 g/d,taking at a draught in 1 h after lunch.Fifty cases in the treat-ment group adopted the ultrasound induction combined with Shenque acupoint and Guanyuan acupoint,which was implemented at 1 h after lunch every day,once a day,30 min each time,and the intensity was appropriate for the patients to tolerate.The two groups were continuously treated for 1 week.The clinical symptoms be-fore and after treatment in the two groups were observed.The constipation score,quality of life score,treat-ment efficacy and safety were compared between before and after treatment.Results There were 3 dropout cases in the control group and 47 cases were finally included.Among them,14 cases were excellently effective,20 cases were effective,13 cases were ineffective,and the total effective rate was 72.34％;there were 2 dropout cases in the treatment group and 48 cases were finally included.Among them,15 cases were excellently effec-tive,18 cases were effective,15 cases were ineffective,and the total effective rate was 68.75％;the total effec-tive rate had no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05).The effect onset time of the treat-ment group was earlier than that of the control group with statistical difference (P<0.05).The abdominal symptom dimension and total score in the constipation scores after treatment in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).After treat-ment,the physiological,satisfaction dimension scores and total score in life quality score in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). During the test process,2 cases in the control group had adverse drug reactions,which manifested by mild di-arrhea at the end of the treatment course,and no adverse reactions were found in the treatment group.Conclu-sion The ultrasound induction combined with acupuncture points for treating constipation in elderly patients with hip fracture has equivalence with polyethylene glycol 4000 powder,moreover which has the advantages in the aspects of effect onset time and improvement of abdominal symptoms.
