Objective:To conduct bioinformatics analysis by detecting and screening differentially expressed miRNAs in urine exosomes of subjects with damp heat IgA nephropathy, non damp heat IgA nephropathy, and healthy individuals; To explore the role of miRNAs in renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to select 40 subjects with primary IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from November 2021 to February 2023, who were divided into damp-heat group and non-damp-heat group according to TCM constitution, with 20 cases in each group; 10 healthy subjects were also recruited for control observation.High-speed centrifugation and Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology were used to isolate and detect the expression of miRNA in urine exosomes from three groups of people, and their differential expression profiles were constructed. Bioinformatics analysis was performed on differentially expressed genes to determine the main biological functions of differentially expressed miRNAs and the signaling pathways they may participate in.Results:Compared with the non-damp heat group, there were 231 miRNAs with abnormal expression in the urine exosomes of the damp heat group, including 119 up-regulated and 112 down-regulated. Through GO enrichment and KEGG analysis, differentially expressed miRNAs may participate in the occurrence and development of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis through MAPK signaling pathway, PI3K Akt signaling pathway, Hippo signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, etc., involving biological processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell deformation (EMT), migration and invasion, and tissue and organ fibrosis. MiR-29c-3p expression levels in the urinary exosome miRNA expression profiles of subjects in the three groups were lower in the damp-heat group, but higher in the non-damp-heat group versus the healthy control group, of which, the damp-heat group was lower than the non-damp-heat group versus the healthy control group ( P<0.01); there was no significant difference between the healthy control group and the non-damp-heat group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The expression profile of miRNAs in the urine exosomes of subjects with damp heat IgA nephropathy showed significant changes,that the significant down-regulation of miR-29c-3p may be a key factor in exacerbating tubulointerstitial fibrosis in IgA nephropathy.

Objective:To explore the optimization of the standardized assessment tool for clinical diagnosis of Chinese developmental dyslexia (DD).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to December 2023, in which 130 primary school children in grades 1 to 3 with clinical signs of literacy lag and positive screening results on the screening scales were recruited from the outpatient clinic of Child Health Care Medical Division, Shanghai Children′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Chinese dyslexia screening behavior checklist for primary students (CDSBC) was used as the screening scales, and supplemented by dyslexia checklist for Chinese children. Referring to the standard procedure of the"expert advice on diagnosis and intervention of Chinese developmental dyslexia", the developmental dyslexia scale for standard mandarin (DDSSM) was used to evaluate the children′s literacy-related cognitive abilities and conduct the diagnostic assessment, and divided the children into learning backward group and the DD group. The t-test and χ2 test were used to compare the differences in the distribution of intelligence, literacy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder between the two groups. Spearman′s correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the scores for each cognitive ability in the DDSSM and the CDSBC. Results:Of the 130 children, 90 were male, aged (8.3±1.0) years; 40 were female, aged (8.1±0.9) years. A final diagnosis of DD was made in 59 cases, of which 41 were males. There was no statistically significant difference in operational intelligence quotient (101±15 vs.100±15, t=0.53, P>0.05) and statistically significant difference in literacy of DDSSM (32±5 vs.21±4, t=11.56, P<0.001) between the learning backward group and the DD group. Eighteen cases (25.4%) of the learning backward group were children with attention deficit subtype attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-I), and 16 cases (27.1%) in DD group, the difference in incidence between the two groups was not statistically significant ( χ2=0.05, P>0.05). There were correlations between the DDSSM (for oral vocabulary, morphological awareness and orthographic awareness) and the CDSBC total score ( r=-0.42, -0.32, -0.35, all P<0.01), but the correlations for visuospatial perception and rapid automatized naming with CDSBC total score were not statistically significant ( r=-0.09 and -0.20,both P>0.05). Conclusion:For literacy-related cognitive abilities, screening scales CDSBC are not sufficiently useful for assessment, so the introduction of standardized assessment tools DDSSM is an optimization of the clinical diagnosis of Chinese DD, which is crucial for achieving accurate diagnosis and intervention.

Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2023;40(10):927-931
Objective To observe cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), cognitive function, and the protein expression level of hyperphosphorylated Tau (P-Tau) in patients with cerebral infarction and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), to analyze their differences between the cerebral infarction+OSAHS group and the control group, and to further investigate the degree of cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral infarction and OSAHS and the association between the protein expression level of P-Tau and CMBs. Methods A prospective analysis was performed for 199 patients with cerebral infarction who were admitted to Stroke Center in our hospital from December 2019 to December 2022, among whom there were 94 patients with OSAHS (cerebral infarction+OSAHS group) and 105 patients without OSAHS (control group), and CMBs and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score were assessed for the two groups. The two groups were compared in terms of changes in the protein expression level of P-Tau before treatment and after 7 and 14 days of treatment. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to describe the predictive efficacy of P-Tau protein level before treatment for the cognitive function of patients with cerebral infarction CMBs and OSAHS, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to investigate the correlation of the scores of each dimension of MoCA scale with P-Tau protein level before treatment. With the score of MoCA scale as the basis for assessing the degree of cognitive impairment, 94 patients were divided into mild impairment group, moderate impairment group, and severe impairment group, and P-Tau protein level before treatment was compared between the three groups. Results Compared with the patients in the control group, the patients with cerebral infarction and OSAHS had a significantly lower MoCA score (P<0.05) and a higher occurrence rate of CMBs, especially in those with mild grade. Before treatment, the cerebral infarction+OSAHS group had a significantly higher P-Tau protein level than the control group (P<0.05), and after 7 and 14 days of treatment, the cerebral infarction+OSAHS group had no significant change in P-Tau protein level (P>0.05), while the control group had a significant reduction in P-Tau protein level (P<0.05). P-Tau protein level before treatment showed a sensitivity of 67.31% and a specificity of 90.48% in the diagnosis of cognitive impairment in the patients with cerebral infarction CMBs and OSAHS, and the Pearson correlation analysis showed that the scores of visuospatial/executive, attention and computational ability, language, abstraction, and delayed memory in MoCA scale were negatively correlated with P-Tau protein level before treatment in these patients (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in P-Tau protein level before treatment between the mild impairment group, the moderate impairment group, and the severe impairment group (P<0.05). Conclusion P-Tau protein level before treatment is associated with cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral infarction CMBs and OSAHS, which can guide the diagnosis and severity assessment of the disease in clinical practice.
