Objective:To identify genetic etiology of ischemic stroke(IS)based on pleiotropy of obe-sity related genes.Methods:A discordant sib-pair study was designed based on the Fangshan family co-hort in Beijing.Body mass index(BMI)polygenic risk score(PRS)was first constructed under different P values.Using the polygenic transmission disequilibrium test(pTDT),we then compared the actual BMI genetic risk of siblings with IS to their expected risk,to analyze whether higher BMI was over-trans-mitted to siblings with IS.The single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)that comprised the PRS over-trans-mitted with IS and that corresponded to the highest heritability of IS were identified as a pleiotropy SNPs set between BMI and IS.This set was then utilized as a candidate set to identify and verify risk SNPs as-so-ciated IS by transmission disequilibrium test.Finally,we identified independent genomic risk loci and mapped to genes,we then explored the biological function of the identified risk loci and genes by func-tional annotation and pathway enrichment.Results:A total of 541 participants were enrolled,with an average age of(58.4±8.1)years,including 326 discordant sib pairs of ischemic stroke.Compared with non-IS participants,IS participants with males,education level below junior high school,hypertension and hyperlipidemia accounted for a higher proportion(P<0.05).For all the BMI PRS,we found that the actual genetic risk of BMI in siblings with IS was higher than their expectation,suggesting that genetic risk associated with high BMI was over-transmitted with IS.Compared with other SNP sets,the set(P<5 × 10-4)corresponded to the best analytical statistics of pTDT and the highest heritability of IS and was identified as the pleiotropy SNP set between BMI and IS.Within this set,there were 45 SNPs having linkage and association with IS,which were located in 43 independent genomic risk loci and mapped to 40 genes.These genes were significantly enriched in the lipid metabolism pathway.The rs2232852 cor-rected by multiple tests was mapped to CYB5R1 and ADIPOR1,which were related to lipid metabolism and the ferroptosis pathway.Conclusion:Pleiotropy between BMI-related genes and IS was observed.Forty-five SNPs were found with linkage and association with IS in the pleiotropy gene set and mapped to 40 genes,which were functionally enriched in lipid metabolic pathways.The rs2232852 corrected by multiple tests during association analysis validation was mapped to CYB5R1 and ADIPOR1,which were related to lipid metabolism and the ferroptosis pathway,suggesting that lipid metabolism and ferroptosis played an important role in the development of IS.

Yigongsan, derived from QIAN Yi’s Key to Therapeutics of Children’s Diseases in the Song Dynasty, is a classic pediatric prescription that is included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions (the Second Batch of Pediatrics) released by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2022. This paper verifies and analyzes the historical origin, composition, dosage, processing, decoction method and efficacy of Yigongsan by systematically combing ancient books and modern documents. As a result, Yigongsan is composed of five herbs: Panax ginseng, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Citrus reticulata and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, of which P. cocos should be peeled, A. macrocephala is fried with soil, G. uralensis is roasted with honey while P. ginseng and C. reticulata are raw products. According to the dosage of ancient and modern times, each medicinal herb must be ground into fine powder, 1.6 g for each, added with 300 mL of water, 5 pieces of Zingiber officinale, and 2 Ziziphus jujuba, decocted together to 210 mL, and taken before meals. In ancient books, Yigongsan is used to treat vomiting, diarrhea, spleen and stomach deficiency, chest and abdominal distension, and lack of appetite, etc. Modern research showed that Yigongsan could also be used in the diseases of immune system, respiratory system, blood system, etc., involving infantile anorexia, asthma, anemia, tumors and so on.

Objective:To carry out the scoping review on the form, function and application effect of decision aids for breast reconstruction of breast cancer patients, so as to provide reference for domestic research on decision aids for breast reconstruction.Methods:According to the scoping review framework, literature was systematically searched on Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to January 19, 2024.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, including 8 randomized controlled trials (RCT), four quasi-experimental studies, one qualitative study, and one prospective cohort study. The main forms of decision aids included web-based software programs, mobile applications (APP), decision support groups, or decision support manuals. The evaluation of intervention effectiveness mainly involved indicators such as patient decision regret, decision conflict, satisfaction, acceptance, and patient-reported outcomes.Conclusions:Breast reconstruction decision aids have a certain positive impact on improving patient satisfaction, decision quality, and patient-reported outcomes, but most studies have not examined their long-term effects. The research on decision aids for breast reconstruction in China is still in its infancy. It is suggested that future research should draw on relevant foreign studies to develop and advance high quality and diversified decision aids, and promote their clinical applications.
