Objective: To characterize longitudinal trajectories of testicular development in boys and breast development in girls, so as to provide reference data for understanding patterns of pubertal sexual maturation. Methods: Based on the Shanghai Pudong New Area Cohort Study on Growth, Development and Health in Children and Adolescents, a baseline survey was conducted in 2020 using a mult stage cluster random sampling method. A total of 2 184 children who completed all follow ups during the primary school period from 13 elementary schools in Pudong New Area,Shanghai,with annual follow ups during 2021-2025. Testicular volume and Tanner stage of breast development were assessed by professional physicians using standardized visual inspection and palpation. The age distribution of testicular volume and breast development was fitted by using cumulative link mixed models and Turnbull s nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method. Results: Median ages for testicular volumes of 2, 3, 4 and 5 mL in boys were 7.07, 9.24, 10.29, and 11.57 years old, respectively. Median ages for Tanner breast stages Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ in girls were 8.55 , 10.17, 11.18, and 13.78 years old, respectively. Based on overweight and obesity, stratified analysis showed that earlier pubertal onset among overweight/obesity children, and the key milestones for pubertal initiation were testicular volume reaching 4 mL in boys and breast Tanner II in girls for 10.29, 10.83; 8.18, 9.00 years. Conclusion Overweight and obesity are associated with earlier pubertal initiation,but there are certain gender and developmental stage specific patterns.

Autism spectrum disorder （ASD）， also known as autism， is a series of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social disorders and repetitive stereotyped behaviors/narrow interests. Its pathogenesis is complex， and there is a lack of effective treatment drugs， with some cases having adverse outcomes. Recent studies have consistently revealed that individuals with autism spectrum disorder （ASD） commonly exhibit characteristics such as gut microbiota dysbiosis （abnormal Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio）， impaired intestinal barrier function （elevated serum levels of zonulin and LPS）， and intestinal immune dysregulation （increased pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-6 and TNF-α）， suggesting that gastrointestinal abnormalities may influence central nervous system development through neuroendocrine， immunoregulatory， and metabolic pathways. Consequently， growing scholarly attention has focused on dietary interventions as potential approaches to alleviate clinical symptoms in children with ASD. This review systematically summarizes the role of gut microbiota and their metabolite alterations in ASD pathogenesis， along with recent advancements in understanding the microbiota-gut-brain axis mechanisms. Additionally， it elaborates on the therapeutic effects and underlying biological basis of restrictive diet therapy， modified diet therapy， and nutritional supplementation therapy in promoting the health of children with ASD. This systematic review reveals that children with ASD exhibit significant gut microbiota dysbiosis （e.g.， increased Clostridium， decreased Faecalibacterium） and abnormal metabolite profiles （e.g.， altered short-chain fatty acid spectra， elevated 4EPS levels）. These alterations exacerbate neuroinflammation and immune dysregulation through the microbiota-gut-brain axis， thereby impacting nervous system development and function. Furthermore， interventions such as ketogenic diets， camel milk， and specific nutritional supplements can alleviate certain ASD symptoms by modulating gut microbiota， restoring intestinal barrier function， and improving metabolic pathways. Future investigations should aim to create multi-omics evaluation systems for pinpointing potential beneficiaries， devise individualized intervention strategies rooted in microbiome characteristics， and verify their therapeutic value and safety in large-scale randomized controlled trials. These efforts are crucial to transitioning ASD treatment from symptomatic control to address disease etiology， thereby paving the way for improving prognoses.

Objective: The treatment of asymmetric maxillary hypoplasia and dental crowding secondary to unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) is often challenging.This study introduced an asymmetric tooth-borne distractor in anterior maxillary segmental distraction osteogenesis and used three-dimensional finite element analysis to evaluate its potential for clinical application in cases of asymmetrical maxillary hypoplasia. Methods: A cone-beam computed tomography scan of a late adolescent with UCLP was used to construct a three-dimensional finite element model of the teeth and maxillary structures. An asymmetric distractor model was used to simulate conventional distraction osteogenesis and asymmetric distraction osteogenesis (ADO) to evaluate the resultant stress distribution and displacement. Results: Postoperatively, both distraction methods resulted in anterior maxillary segment advancement with a slight upward movement. ADO yielded a greater increase in the dental arch length on the cleft side and induced rotation of the anterior maxillary segment, potentially improving midline deviation. Both methods showed similar stress distributions, with higher stress concentrations on the cleft side. Conclusions ADO may offer clinical advantages in correcting asymmetrical maxillary hypoplasia in patients with UCLP by facilitating asymmetrical expansion and rotation of the maxilla. Further research is needed to generalize these findings to other clinical presentations.

Objective To study the level of fall-related self-awareness among the elderly in community and to explore the influence of cognitive reserve and social cohesion on fall-related self-awareness,thereby providing a reference for developing targeted interventions.Methods Toally 500 old people in communities were recruited by convenience sampling in Hengyang between August and September 2024.Data were collected with the general information questionnaire,neighbourhood cohesion scale,self-awareness of falls in elderly scale,and cognitive reserve index questionnaire.Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis was employed to explore the effects of cognitive reserve and social cohesion on fall-related self-awareness while controlling for demographic variables.Results A total of 467 valid questionnaires were returned.The score of fall-related self-awareness was 54.60±6.64(moderate level).Social cohesion scores was 29.84±5.52(moderate level),and cognitive reserve score was 93.27±10.83(moderate level).The cognitive reserve and social cohesion were both positively correlated with fall-related self-awareness(all P<0.01).Community integration accounted for 9.10%of its total variability,and cognitive reserve accounted for 5.70%of the total variability of fall vigilance,while controlling for variables such as body mass index(BMI),sleep quality,sedentary habits,fear of falling and financial resources.Conclusion The elderly in communities exhibit a low level of fall-related self-awareness.More attention to risk of falling is required along with developing targeted and individualised training programs aiming at improvement of cognitive reserve and social cohesion,thereby reducing the incidence of falls.

Objective To summarize and evaluate the treatment strategies and clinical outcomes of bladder inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT),so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this rare entity.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of two patients with bladder IMT treated at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University.In combination with literature analysis,the clinical characteristics,treatment methods and prognosis of this disease were analyzed.Results Both patients presented with painless terminal macroscopic hematuria.Patient 1 was a 42-year-old male with a 6 cm bladder mass detected by cystoscopy,with no muscular involvement.Transurethral en bloc resection with a 1470 nm diode laser was performed,followed by a second transurethral resection.Patient 2 was a 21-year-old male with a 5 cm bladder mass visualized on cystoscopy,with no muscular invasion.Transurethral en bloc resection using a 1470 nm diode laser was conducted,followed by transurethral laser marking the margin of the wound and laparoscopic partial cystectomy.Preoperative cystoscopic biopsy and postoperative pathology diagnosed it as IMT,which invaded the superficial muscular layer and the margin was negative.Patient 1 was followed for 40 months and patient 2 for 15 months.Follow-up cystoscopy performed every 3 months showed no evidence of recurrence.This article also summarized the relevant literature on bladder IMT over the past five years.Conclusion Bladder IMT is an extremely rare neoplasm with nonspecific clinical manifestations,posing challenges in both diagnosis and treatment.However,early recognition and definitive pathological diagnosis,combined with bladder-sparing surgical strategies such as en bloc resection,often result in favorable outcomes,with reduced risk of recurrence and improved quality of life.

Objective To Investigate the efficacy of modified electroconvulsive therapy(MECT)in patients with schizophrenia across different genders.Methods From May 2018 to August 2022,481 patients with schizophrenia were recruited from three psychiatric hospitals in Luzhou,Zigong,and Yibin.According to gender grouping,both groups received adjunctive MECT treatment for two consecutive weeks for a total of six treatments.The differences in positive and negative syndrome scale(PANSS)scores before and after treatment,UKU adverse reaction rating scale(UKU),and gastrointestinal symptom rating scale(GSRS)scores were compared between the two groups.Results After quality control,463 cases were followed up for analysis including 246 males and 217 females.Compared with pre-treatment,the total PANSS score and scores on each subscale were significantly reduced in both genders after treatment(P<0.001).When comparing the reduction rates between the groups,the male patients showed a higher reduction rate in negative symptoms than the female patients(31.24%±30.24%vs.25.80%±33.96%,P<0.05).However,there were no significant differences between the two groups in the reduction rates of the total score,positive symptoms,and general psychopathology(P>0.05).The comparison of adverse reactions showed that the frequency of other types of adverse reactions was higher in female patients than in male patients(47.47%vs.37.80%,P<0.05).However,no significant differences were observed in the adverse reactions related to the mental,neurological,autonomic nervous system,and gastrointestinal systems(P>0.05).Correlation analysis revealed that the reduction rate of the PANSS total score was positively correlated with smoking history(r=0.135,P=0.034)and alcohol history(r=0.160,P=0.012)in male patients,while the reduction rate of the PANSS total score was negatively correlated with the disease duration(r=-0.210,P=0.002)and positively correlated with the age of onset(r=0.145,P=0.032)in female patients.Conclusion MECT is significantly effective for both male and female patients with schizophrenia.Compared to female patients,MECT shows a more pronounced effect on negative symptoms in male patients.Additionally,the factors related to the efficacy of MECT differ between genders,indicating that it is necessary to consider the clinical characteristics of patients comprehensively when selecting an MECT treatment plan.

Objective:To analyze by bioinformatics the association between the expression of membrane-associated tyrosine/threonine protein kinase 1(PKMYT1)in glioma with its prognostic value,biological function,drug sensitivity,gene mutation,and immune infiltration.Methods:The differential expression of PKMYT1 was analyzed based on the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database(CGGA)and the Cancer Genome Atlas database(TCGA).Pathways likely to be enriched for PKMYT1 were predicted by gene ontology analysis(GO)and gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA).PKMYT1 was subjected to Pearson correlation and gene set variation analysis(GSVA)with cell cycle-related genes and gene sets.The survival prognosis,gene mutation,drug sensitivity and immune infiltration were further analyzed for PKMYT1 high and low expression groups of glioma patients.Results:PKMYT1 was significantly highly expressed in WHO high-grade glioma(P<0.000 1),IDH wild-type glioma(P<0.05),and glioblastoma(P<0.000 1).Overall survival(OS)of patients in the PKMYT1 low expression group was significantly higher than that of the high expression group(P<0.05).Cox regression analysis showed that PKMYT1 expression level was an independent prognostic factor for OS(P<0.05).GO and GSEA analyses showed that the gene sets co-expressed with PKMYT1 were mainly enriched in signaling pathways such as cell cycle,DNA replication and DNA damage repair.Pearson correlation and GSVA analyses showed that the expression of PKMYT1 was significantly and positively correlated with the cell cycle-related genes,gene sets and cell cycle checkpoint genes(P<0.01).Drug sensitivity analysis revealed that patients in the PKMYT1 high expression group had high sensitivity osimertinib,dabrafenib,carmustine and cediranib(P<0.05).Mutation analysis revealed that the IDH1 gene had a higher mutation frequency in the PKMYT1 low expression group.The results of immune infiltration analysis showed that PKMYT1 expression was significantly positively correlated with glioma stroma score(r=0.13,P<0.001),immune score(r=0.11,P<0.01)and ESTIMATE score(r=0.13,P<0.001);and was significantly positively correlated with immune cell infiltration level of regulatory T(Treg)cells and M2-type macrophages(P<0.05).Conclusion:Patients with high PKMYT1 expression have a poorer prognosis,and the mechanism may be related to tumor immune infiltration and cell cycle regulation.PKMYT1 is expected to be a potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of glioma.

Objective To investigate the expression of dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase(DLAT)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)tissues and its impact on immunotherapy efficacy,aiming to identify a new biomarker for prognosis assessment and immunotherapy response prediction.Methods Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the transcriptomic data,clinical pathological characteristics and survival information of HCC patients from TCGA database.The expression of DLAT in HCC and its correlation with clinical features were evaluated,along with its relationship with immune infiltration,immune checkpoint-related genes,and immunotherapy response.Results DLAT was highly expressed in HCC tissues and associated with poor prognosis(HR=1.63,P=0.006).The proportion of R1&R2 residual tumors were significantly higher in the DLAT high-expression group(4.1％vs 1.2％,P=0.011).Immune infiltration analysis revealed that high DLAT expression was negatively correlated with Th 17,DC cells,B cells and T cells,while positively correlated with T helper cells,Tcm and Tem cells.Furthermore,DLAT expression showed significant positive correlations with key immune checkpoint genes(PDCD1LG2,HAVCR2,TIGIT,and PVR),and TIDE algorithm predicted poor response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in the DLAT high-expression group.Conclusion High expression of DLAT in HCC tissues is a risk factor for poor prognosis and may serve as a potential biomarker for prognostic assessment and immunotherapy response prediction in HCC patients.
