Objective To evaluate the impact of dynamic changes in proteinuria on the deterio-ration of renal function in patients with IgA nephropathy(IgAN).Methods A total of 105 patients with IgAN were selected as the study subjects,and they had complete 3-year follow-up data.Based on the initial 24 h proteinuria levels,the patients were categorized into mild proteinuria(group A,＜1.0 g),moderate proteinuria(group B,1.0 to 3.0g)and severe proteinuria(group C,＞3.0 g).The primary endpoint of this study was the incidence of an annual decline rate of ≥30％in the esti-mated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),while the secondary endpoint was the occurrence of end-stage renal disease events.Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method.Cox pro-portional hazards regression model was employed to assess the impact of different clinical variables on renal function decline.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to analyze the predictive efficacy of changes in proteinuria levels on disease progression.Results Statistically sig-nificant differences were observed among the three groups in terms of the proportion of patients with eGFR decline rate of ≥30％and hormone therapy(P＜0.05).The mean survival time was 35.686 months in the group A,34.644 months in the group B,and 29.760 months in the group C.Both the initial proteinuria level(OR=4.068,P＜0.001)and the change in proteinuria level(OR=3.914,P＜0.001)were significant predictors of renal function decline.The initial proteinuria level[area under the curve(AUC)=0.825,P＜0.001]demonstrated higher predictive efficacy for the deterioration of IgAN compared to the change in proteinuria level(AUC=0.643,P＜0.05).Con-clusion The initial proteinuria level and its dynamic changes are important predictors of renal func-tion progression in patients with IgAN.Monitoring the dynamic changes in proteinuria can facilitate early intervention in renal function deterioration.

Abstract Migraine is a widespread neurovascular disorder, the pathogenesis of which is closely linked to the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP), leading to a significant impairment in patients′ quality of life. CGRP receptor antagonists exert their therapeutic effect by inhibiting the interaction between CGRP and its receptors, thereby preventing migraine attacks. Currently, several agents, including Rimegepant and Ubrogepant, have either received approval from the U. S. Food and Drug Administration or are in advanced stages of clinical trials.These drugs offer multiple advantages, such as the absence of vasoconstrictive effects, a rapid onset of action, and minimal interference with the immune system. Nevertheless, further investigation is necessary to assess their longterm safety, the potential emergence of drug resistance, and the development of individualized treatment protocols.Moreover, the integration of these novel therapies with existing treatment strategies remains a critical area for future research. This review aims to summarize recent national and international scientific advancements to establish a theoretical basis for the application of precision medicine in migraine management.

Purpose To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of A-485 on renal tubular injury in diabetic mice.Methods Eighteen male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups:Control group,diabetic kidney dis-ease(DKD)group and A-485 treatment group.The DKD mice model was established by feeding high-fat diet for 8 weeks and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin for 5 days.Subsequent-ly,the A-485 treatment group was given A-485(10 mg/kg/day)by intraperitoneal injection every other day for 4 weeks.After treatment,the renal function,P300 enzyme activity and lipid deposition in renal tissue were measured.Western blot a-nalysis was performed to detect SREBP-1,FASN,ACC,ChREBP,P300,CBP,H3K18ac and H3K27ac protein levels.Results Compared with control mice,the levels of FBG,BUN,Scr and UAE were significantly increased in diabetic mice(FBG:2.52 times,BUN:2.89 times,Scr:2.13 times,UAE:4.21 times),while diabetic mice treatment with A-485 exhibi-ted a remarkable decrease on BUN,Scr and UAE(BUN:0.511 times,Scr:0.636 times,UAE:0.574 times,P＜0.01).The results of the transmission electron microscopy and oil red O stai-ning showed that A-485 treatment prevents lipid droplets forma-tion and up-regulation of SREBP-1,FASN,ACC and ChREBP in renal tubular cells of diabetic mice(SREBP-1:0.544 times,FASN:0.449 times,ACC:0.306 times,ChREBP:0.317 times,P＜0.01).Furthermore,A-485 intervention downregu-lated the enzyme activity of P300(0.546 times)and suppressed the expression of H3K18ac(0.337 times)and H3K27ac(0.308 times,P＜0.01).Conclusion A-485 can significant-ly improve renal lipid metabolic disorder in diabetic mice,which may be achieved by inhibiting p300-induced H3K18ac and H3K27ac.

Objective To investigate the dosimetric differences of different types of multileaf collima-tors(MLCs)on the planning target volume(PTV)and organs at risk(OARs)in volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT)for cervical cancer.Methods Twenty postoperative patients with cervical cancer receiving radiotherapy in this hospital from May 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the study subjects.For each pa-tient,two kinds of VMAT plans(MLCi2-MLC and AgilityTM-MLC)after cervical cancer operation were de-signed.The dosimetric parameters of the planning target volume(PTV),exposure dose by organs at risk(OAR),y passing rate and monitor units(MU)were compared between the two plans.Results Compared with MLci2-MLC,prescription dose(V45),conformity index(CI)and homogeneity index(HI)in AgilityTM-MLC were better,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05),Compared with MLCi2-MLC,bladder V30,V40,average dose(Dmean),rectal V10,V20,V30,left femoral head V10,Dmean and small intestine V10,V30,Dmean and Dmax were lower,bladder V45,rectal V45,right femoral head V20 were higher,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with MLCi2-MLC,the y passing rate in AgilityTM-MLC was lower[(98.31±0.64)％vs.(99.73±0.37)％],and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);while MU had no statistical difference between AgilityTM-MLC and MLCi2-MLC(996.74±65.46 vs.996.80±49.77,P＞0.05).Conclusion AgilityTM-MLC demonstrates better PTV conformity and homogenei-ty,as well as good protection on OARs in both high and low dose regions.

A growing body of evidence has indicated that G-protein coupled bile acid (BA) receptor TGR5 (also known as Gpbar-1) is a potential drug target to treat obesity and associated metabolic disorders. We have identified notoginsenoside Ft1 (Ft1) from

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of type 2 diabetic patients with insulin autoimmune syndrome after treatment with exogenous insulin.Methods:A total of 106 patients with type 2 diabetes diagnosed with exogenous insulin-related insulin autoimmune syndrome (EIAS) were included from September 2017 to March 2019 in the Department of Endocrinology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. The clinical data, physical examination, and laboratory examination results of patients were collected.Results:Of the 106 patients, 84 (79.24%) used premixed human insulin or premixed insulin analogs, and 18 patients (16.98%) presented recurrent hypoglycemia. The arginine stimulation test showed that the median value of the baseline insulin was 73.40 (23.07-146.75) μU/ml, and the median ratio of 4 minute insulin to 0 minute insulin was 1.27 (1.03-1.85), with the mean of the ratio 1.72±1.47. The ratio of baseline insulin (μU/ml) to C-peptide (ng/ml) was 44.60 (14.92-87.93), with an average of 81.92±130.93. Taking the two-fold upper limit of fasting insulin reference value (49.8 μU/ml) as the cut-off point, the subjects were divided into insulin accumulation group (baseline insulin≥49.8 μU/ml) and insulin non-accumulation group (baseline insulin <49.8 μU/ml). Among the 66 patients in the insulin accumulation group, 14 patients had hypoglycemia (21.21%) and 4 patients in the insulin non-accumulation group presented hypoglycemia (10%). The ratio of 4 minute insulin to baseline insulin, ratio of baseline insulin to C-peptide, blood glucose level standard deviation (SDBG) and maximum blood glucose fluctuation amplitude (LAGE) in the insulin accumulation group were significantly higher than those in the insulin non-accumulation group (all P<0.05). Among 66 patients in the insulin accumulation group, 36 patients changed the type of insulin preparafion (insulin treatment group), 30 patients were changed from insulin to oral hypoglycemic agents (oral medication group). After treatment, both SDBG and LAGE in the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment ( P<0.05). Conclusions:With the aggravation of exogenous insulin accumulation, the fluctuation of blood glucose and the proportion of hypoglycemia were significantly increased. There was a characteristic change in islet function in patients with insulin autoimmune syndrome. After arginine stimulation, there was no significant peak of insulin secretion, showing a " high-level" curve. The baseline insulin/C-peptide ratio was significantly increased. The prognosis of EIAS patients is good after timely diagnosis and adjustment of treatment.

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic blood transfusion in humans of the same blood type has been implemented, but studies regarding swine blood type and how to perform allogeneic blood transfusion have been rarely reported. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of preoperative autologous blood donation using the leap-frog technique for cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in a swine model.METHODS: Sixteen domestic swine were randomly divided into two groups: autologous blood donation and allogeneic blood transfusion. Another four swine were used as blood donors. Two groups of swine underwent cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. The autologous blood donation group received self-transfusion reserved before surgery while the allogeneic blood transfusion group received the same amount of allogeneic blood. Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and hematocrit (Hct) level prior to and after donation in the autologous blood donation group was recorded. Hb concentration in the two groups was recorded prior to, during, immediately after, and 1 day after the surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The total blood volume of each experimental swine was (2500±428) mL. For the autologous blood donation group, the predicted blood volume of the first donation was (501±86) mL and the actual blood volume was (493±93) mL; in the second donation, the predicted blood volume was (750±128) mL and the actual blood volume was (719±98) mL. There was a significant difference in Hb concentration and Hct level between prior to and after donation in the autologous blood donation group (P < 0.01). Hb concentration at 1 day after the surgery was significantly higher in the autologous blood donation group than in the allogeneic blood transfusion group (P < 0.01), while no significant difference in Hb concentration existed between these two groups prior to, during, and immediately after the surgery (P > 0.05). Compared with prior to surgery, Hb concentration in each group was significantly lower at 1 day after the surgery (P < 0.01). The autologous blood donation group exhibited significantly higher survival rate of swine than the allogeneic blood transfusion group (P < 0.01). These findings indicate that compared with allogeneic blood transfusion, preoperative autologous blood donation using the leap-frog technique appears to be a safe, effective method with a high survival rate for cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.

The incidence of pancreatic cancer is gradually increasing worldwide. The overall 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer is about 5%, because the early diagnosis is difficult and the radical resection rate is low in pancreatic cancer. The keys of improving the poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer are early diagnosis and radical resection. Detection of serum tumor markers has an important utility in the diagnosis, prognosis and surveillance of pancreatic cancer. CA19-9 is the most widely used and best validated serum tumor marker for pancreatic cancer although it has some limits. With the development of molecular biological techniques in recent years, several potential serum tumor markers for pancreatic cancer are undergoing evaltation, including MIC- 1, M2- PK, OPN, RCAS1, and so on. This paper is to review the current status of serum tumor markers of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To explore the role of H19 imprinting in etiology of pre-eclampsia. Methods Placentas of 24 women with pre-eclampsia (3 with mild pre-eclampsia and 21 with severe pre-eclampsia) and 50 healthy pregnant women at full term (control) were collected during selected cesarean delivery between August 2007 and March 2008. The statuses of H19 imprinting with placental tissues from normal pregnancy and patients with pre-eclampsia were identified upon polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The systolic and diastolic pressure were analyzed in H19 heterozygotic women. Results (1) There were 20 (40%) heterozygotes in 50 cases placenta tissues of the third trimesters, 11 (45%) heterozygotes in 24 cases placenta tissues of pre-eclampsia, There were no significant difference between two groups ( P > 0.05 ). (2) All 20 heterozygotes in placenta tissues of the third trimesters are exclusively monoallelically expressed, while 5 cases (45%) in 11 heterozygotes of pre-eclampsia are biallelically expressed (loss of imprinting, LOI). There were significant difference between two groups (P < 0. 01 ). (3) The values of systolic and diastolic pressure of patients with monoallelic expression of H19 were (171 ±9) mm Hg (1 nun Hg =0.133 kPa) and ( 104±8) mm Hg, the values of systolic and diastolic pressure with biallelic expression were ( 194±21 ) mm Hg and ( 124±18) mm Hg. There were significant difference between two groups (P<0.05 ). Conclusion LOI of H19 can be identified in pre-eclamptic placentas and is associated with maternal blood pressures, which implies the involvement of H19 gene LOI in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia and its potential relationship with the severity of the disease.
