Dent disease is a rare X-linked recessive renal tubular disease characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria,hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis. It is also a major cause of tubular proteinuria in children. According to different causative genes,Dent disease can be divided into three types:type 1 is caused by mutations in the CLCN5 gene,accounting for about 60%-70%;type 2 is caused by mutations in the OCRL gene,accounting for about 15%-20%;type 3 has a similar clinical phenotype but no known pathogenic gene mutations. CLCN5 encodes the voltage-dependent 2Cl -/1H +exchange channel CIC-5,which is involved in proximal renal tubule endocytosis. Its mutations can cause a variety of proximal tubular dysfunction symptoms,mainly including low molecular weight proteinuria. The use of gene detection technology has resulted in an increase in reports on Dent disease year after year. At present,the specific mechanism underlying Dent disease remains unknown. This article reviews the research progress of CLCN5,hoping to provide new insight for the mechanism research of CLCN5 and the specific treatment of Dent disease type 1.

Background::Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and diameter, stiffness, and wave reflections, are independent and important clinical biomarkers and risk predictors for cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the present study was to establish nationwide reference values of carotid properties for healthy Chinese adults and to explore potential clinical determinants.Methods::A total of 3053 healthy Han Chinese adults (1922 women) aged 18-79 years were enrolled at 28 collaborating tertiary centers throughout China between April 2021 and July 2022. The real-time tracking of common carotid artery walls was achieved by the radio frequency (RF) ultrasound system. The IMT, diameter, compliance coefficient, β stiffness, local pulse wave velocity (PWV), local systolic blood pressure, augmented pressure (AP), and augmentation index (AIx) were then automatically measured and reported. Data were stratified by age groups and sex. The relationships between age and carotid property parameters were analyzed by Jonckheere-Terpstra test and simple linear regressions. The major clinical determinants of carotid properties were identified by Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and analyses of covariance.Results::All the parameters of carotid properties demonstrated significantly age-related trajectories. Women showed thinner IMT, smaller carotid diameter, larger AP, and AIx than men. The β stiffness and PWV were significantly higher in men than women before forties, but the differences reversed after that. The increase rate of carotid IMT (5.5 μm/year in women and 5.8 μm/year in men) and diameter (0.03 mm/year in both men and women) were similar between men and women. For the stiffness and wave reflections, women showed significantly larger age-related variations than men as demonstrated by steeper regression slopes (all P for age by sex interaction <0.05). The blood pressures, body mass index (BMI), and triglyceride levels were identified as major clinical determinants of carotid properties with adjustment of age and sex. Conclusions::The age- and sex-specific reference values of carotid properties measured by RF ultrasound for healthy Chinese adults were established. The blood pressures, BMI, and triglyceride levels should be considered for clinical application of corresponding reference values.

Objective:To explore the barriers and facilitators of exercise rehabilitation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency ablation.Methods:From March to August 2022, 285 patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent radiofrequency ablation within three months were recruited from the "Cloud Ward" of the Department of Cardiovascular of the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University by convenience sampling. The Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS) and the Self-efficacy for Exercise Scale (SEE) were used to evaluate the barriers and self-efficacy of patients participating in exercise rehabilitation, respectively. Among them, 22 patients were subjected to semi-structured interviews to extract themes.Results:Among 285 patients with atrial fibrillation, 202 (70.88%) participated in exercise rehabilitation programs. Work/time conflicts, lack of cardiac rehabilitation knowledge, and health/physical function limitations affected the participation of patients in exercise rehabilitation ( P<0.05). Qualitative research extracted three themes that affected the patient's exercise rehabilitation, including capability, opportunity, and motivation. Conclusions:The participation of atrial fibrillation patients in exercise rehabilitation is influenced by multiple factors such as family responsibility, capability, motivation, and opportunity. Medical and nursing staff should comprehensively consider the above factors, develop targeted interventions from all aspects and multiple angles, so as to effectively improve the participation of patients in exercise rehabilitation.

With the continuous progress of research methodology in the real world and the growing maturity of artificial intelligence technology, a method for conducting “quantitative” research to guide clinical practice based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment data was gradually developed. However, there is still a need for further improvements in the overall design of studies and the transformation of findings into clinical practice. Based on this, we put forward a comprehensive overall design concept and application approach for real-world study and artificial intelligence research based on clinical diagnosis and treatment data of TCM. This approach consists of five steps: Constructing a research-based database with a large sample size and high data quality; Mining and classification of core prescriptions; Conducting cohort studies to evaluate the effectiveness of core prescriptions; Utilizing case-control studies to clarify the dominant population; Establishing predictive models to achieve precision medicine. Additionally, it is imperative for researchers to establish a standardized system for collecting TCM variables and processing data, optimize the determination and measurement methods of confounding factors, further improve and promote methodologies, and strengthen the training of interdisciplinary talents. By following this research method, we anticipate that the clinical translation of research findings will be facilitated, leading to advancements in TCM precision medicine. Real-world study and artificial intelligence research share similar research foundations, and clinical applications complement each other. In the future, the two will merge together.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different blood glucose and BMI levels on the outcome of closed biliary surgery in diabetic patients.Methods:Clinical data of 424 diabetes admitted to Shanxi Provincial People’s Hospital for closed biliary tract surgery from Jan. 2018 to Jun. 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the fasting blood glucose and BMI levels, the subjects were divided into hyperglycemia and non-hyperglycemia groups and obesity and non-obesity subgroups. The differences of clinical data among different groups were compared and analyzed. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the factors of postoperative infection, length and cost of hospitalization.Results:①Compared with the non-hyperglycemia group, the hyperglycemia group had higher BMI, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, blood glucose monitoring rate, glycated hemoglobin detection rate, postoperative infection rate, ICU occupancy rate, length and cost of hospitalization, and lower albumin level, all P<0.05.②The age, fasting blood glucose, serum creatinine, low density lipoprotein, length and cost of hospitalization in the hyperglycemic obese subgroup were all lower than those in the non-obese subgroup, all P<0.05; and the serum creatinine in the obese subgroup was higher than those in the non-obese subgroup ( P<0.05) . ③Logistic analysis revealed that hyperglycemia was an independent risk factor for postoperative infection. For every 1mmol/L increase in fasting blood glucose, the risk of postoperative infection increased by 1.158 times, and albumin was a protective factor for postoperative infection. ④Multiple linear regression analysis showed that hyperglycemia and hypoalbumin were the important factors affecting the length of hospital stay and the increase of hospital cost, all P<0.05. Conclusions:Hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for postoperative infection and a risk factor for longer hospital stay and higher costs. Obesity is not associated with postoperative infection or longer hospital stay, except for increased serum. Patients with diabetes undergoing closed biliary system surgery need to improve the detection rate of glycated hemoglobin and blood glucose monitoring rate, manage blood glucose reasonably, and control body weight appropriately.
