OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of the active ingredient compatibility（quercetin， quercitrin and kaempferol at a mass ratio of 2∶9∶3）of Dimocarpus longan Lour. leaves（abbreviated as CDL） on ameliorating glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） rats. METHODS SD rats were randomly divided into blank control group， model group， metformin hydrochloride group （100 mg/kg）， and CDL high-， medium- and low-dose groups （280， 140， 75 mg/kg）， with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the blank control group were fed with standard chow， while rats in the other groups were given high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to establish the T2DM rat model. After successful modeling， rats in each administration group were given corresponding drug solution， and rats in the blank control group and model group were intragastrically administered with equal volume of pure water， once a day， for consecutive 4 weeks. Fasting blood glucose （FBG） was detected at fixed time every week. The curves of oral glucose tolerance test （OGTT） and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test （IPITT） were plotted， and the area under curve （AUC） was calculated. The pancreatic islet function indexes [fasting insulin （FINS）， homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance （HOMA-IR）， insulin sensitivity index （ISI）]，blood lipid indexes [total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）] and hepatic glycogen content were determined. The pathological morphological changes of liver and pancreatic tissues were observed. The protein and mRNA expression levels of molecules related to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway in liver tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with the blank control group， the FBG， AUC of IPITT curve， AUC of OGTT curve， HOMA-IR， the levels of FINS， TC， TG and LDL-C， as well as the protein and mRNA expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog， forkhead box protein O1 and glycogen synthase kinase-3β in liver tissues were significantly increased in the model group （ P ＜0.05）. ISI， the levels of HDL-C and hepatic glycogen content， along with the protein and mRNA expression of PI3K， insulin receptor substrate-1， Akt and protein expression of phosphorylated Akt in liver tissues were markedly decreased （ P ＜0.05）. In model group rats， the arrangement of hepatocytes was irregular， the overall structure of pancreatic lobules was disordered， and a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration was observed. Compared with the model group， most of the above quantitative indexes were significantly reversed in the CDL high-dose group （ P ＜0.05）， and the pathological lesions of liver and pancreas were obviously alleviated. CONCLUSIONS CDL can regulate glucose and lipid metabolism disorders， elevate insulin sensitivity and relieve insulin resistance in T2DM rats. Its mechanism may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

The pregnant woman was 34 years old，G9P0，at 32 weeks of gestation，the routine prenatal examination of the fetus in the Second Xiangya Hospital，Central South University indicated that “The hyperechoic mass in the right lobe of the liver，Hepatic hemangioma？Hepatoblastoma？”. Since then，multiple fetal and postnatal color ultrasound scans indicated progressive enlargement of the mass. The fluctuation of serum alphafetoprotein（AFP）was increased after birth，the possibility of a malignant tumor could not be ruled out by imaging and laboratory examinations. The child underwent hepatectomy 70 days after birth. The final diagnosis was hepatic hemangioma，and a one-year follow-up showed that she had a good prognosis. Fetal liver hemangioma is the most common benign liver tumor，prenatal ultrasound diagnosis is not difficult. However，atypical fetal hepatic hemangioma has complex ultrasound manifestations，and prenatal diagnosis is hard to determine its nature. In this article，the ultrasonographic features of typical and atypical fetal hepatic hemangioma were compared to provide the basis for early diagnosis of atypical fetal hepatic hemangioma.

The pregnant woman was 39 years old，G2P1，a fetal goiter was found at 25 weeks at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University，and thyroid function was normal during the pregnancy. Amniocentesis revealed the presence of two DUOX2 mutations in fetal DNA：c.3340delC（P.L1114Sfs56）in exon 25 and c.2654G＞A（p.R885Q）in exon 20，which were determined to be heritable by familial genetic testing. Many fetal and neonatal ultrasounds have shown goiter，rich blood flow in the parenchyma and low postnatal thyroid hormone levels led to the diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism. The patient was given L-thyroxine 30 μg/d. After 3 months of follow-up，the thyroid function was normal without developmental problems.

Objective To screen the predictors of early initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)in children with sepsis and construct a linear model,based on LASSO regression analysis.Methods A total of 55 children diagnosed with sepsis at Jiangmen Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from April 2023 to February 2025.They were divided into CRRT group(n=17)and non-CRRT group(n=38)based on CRRT treatment usage.Using LASSO regression screening,predictive factors were identified and a Logistic regression model was established.The model's performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and calibration curve.Results There were significant differences in age,respiratory rate,body temperature,and mechanical ventilation between two groups(P＜0.05).Through LASSO regression analysis,four independent predictors of respiratory rate,body temperature,blood glucose,and C-reactive protein were identified.The constructed model demonstrated an area under the ROC curve of 0.94(95％CI:0.87-1.00),indicating good calibration accuracy.Conclusion The column line model based on body temperature,respiratory rate,blood glucose and C-reactive protein can effectively predict the need for early initiation of CRRT in sepsis children.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Insulin degludec and liraglutide injection （IDegLira） and Insulin glargine and lixisenatide injection（iGlarLixi） in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM）， and provide an evidence-based basis for the clinical treatment of T2DM. METHODS Computerized searches of PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， Wanfang data and VIP were conducted with a time frame from the inception to August 2024. Randomized controlled trials（RCTs） were rigorously screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria， from which information was extracted and included studies were evaluated for risk of bias. Network meta-analysis was performed using Stata 14.0 software. RESULTS A total of 15 RCTs， including 9 513 patients， were included， involving four treatment regimens： IDegLira， iGlarLixi， insulin degludec（IDeg）， and insulin glargine（iGlar）. The differences between IDegLira and iGlarLixi were not statistically significant（P＞0.05） for the outcome indexes of glycosylated hemoglobin（HbA1c）， fasting blood glucose， body weight， and the incidence of adverse events（P＞0.05）； for the outcome index of the incidence of hypoglycemic events， IDegLira was significantly superior to iGlarLixi [OR＝0.41，95%CI（0.18，0.91），P＜0.05]. Surface under the cumulative ranking curve（SUCRA） results showed that iGlarLixi（84.5%）＞IDegLira（81.7%） in lowering HbA1c； IDegLira（71.3%）＞iGlarLixi（20.0%） in lowering fasting blood glucose； IDegLira（90.7%）＞iGlarLixi（61.8%） in lowering body weight； IDegLira（95.5%）＞iGlarLixi（9.7%） in reducing the incidence of hypoglycemic events； and IDegLira（27.1%）＞iGlarLixi（14.5%） in reducing the incidence of adverse events. CONCLUSIONS iGlarLixi has better therapeutic efficacy in reducing HbA1c； IDegLira has better therapeutic efficacy in reducing fasting blood glucose and body weight. IDegLira has the lowest risk of hypoglycemia.

Objective To analyze the clinical significance of subjective visual vertical (SVV) tests at different head deflection angles in assessing utricle function in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods A total of 61 BPPV patients who were treated at the Hearing Impairment and Vertigo Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from August 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively included, and 29 healthy adults were selected as controls. SVV tests were performed on all research subjects at different head deflection angles: upright head (0°), left head 45° (L45°), right head 45° (R45°). The test results between the two groups were compared. Results SVV absolute value at R45° in BPPV group was lower than that in the control group (P＝0.003); there was no significant difference in SVV values at 0° and L45° between the two groups. There was no statistical difference in SVV values at different head deflection angles between the control group and the left BPPV group. SVV absolute value at R45° in right BPPV group was lower than that in the control group (P＜0.001); there was no statistical difference in SVV values at 0° and L45° between the two groups. Conclusions SVV test can provide subjective information about the utricle, and SVV tests at different head deflection angles can fine-tune evaluate the function of the utricle in BPPV patients.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of insulin degludec and insulin aspart （IDegAsp） in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） in China. METHODS A cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system， using the CORE diabetes model to simulate long-term （20-year） health and economic outcomes. Baseline cohort characteristics and treatment effect data were derived from the CREATE study. The prices of glucose- lowering drugs were obtained from medical insurance payment standards and the average winning bid prices in the follow-up round of the specialized centralized procurement for insulin， while the daily dosages were derived from the CREATE study. The costs of complications and utility values were obtained from published literature， with a discount rate of 5%. One-way sensitivity analysis， scenario analysis， and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were performed to verify the robustness of the results. RESULTS Patients switching from previous once-daily basal insulin regimens to IDegAsp therapy gained an incremental 0.190 quality-adjusted life year （QALY） with direct medical cost savings of 42 163.58 yuan. For those switching from premixed insulin therapies， IDegAsp treatment provided 0.130 incremental QALY and reduced direct healthcare costs by 41 129.11 yuan. The outcome was significantly influenced by the discount rate and the cost of complications. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis confirmed the robustness of these findings. CONCLUSIONS Switching from previous daily basal insulin or premixed insulin regimens to IDegAsp in Chinese patients with T2DM can improve patients’ long-term health outcomes and achieve cost savings， making it a more cost-effective treatment option.
