Recent studies have indicated that the expression of ubiquitin-specific protease 51 (USP51), a novel deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) that mediates protein degradation as part of the ubiquitin‒proteasome system (UPS), is associated with tumor progression and therapeutic resistance in multiple malignancies. However, the underlying mechanisms and signaling networks involved in USP51-mediated regulation of malignant phenotypes remain largely unknown. The present study provides evidence of USP51's functions as the prominent DUB in chemoresistant triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. At the molecular level, ectopic expression of USP51 stabilized the 78 kDa Glucose-Regulated Protein (GRP78) protein through deubiquitination, thereby increasing its expression and localization on the cell surface. Furthermore, the upregulation of cell surface GRP78 increased the activity of ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), the main efflux pump of doxorubicin (DOX), ultimately decreasing its accumulation in TNBC cells and promoting the development of drug resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Clinically, we found significant correlations among USP51, GRP78, and ABCB1 expression in TNBC patients with chemoresistance. Elevated USP51, GRP78, and ABCB1 levels were also strongly associated with a poor patient prognosis. Importantly, we revealed an alternative intervention for specific pharmacological targeting of USP51 for TNBC cell chemosensitization. In conclusion, these findings collectively indicate that the USP51/GRP78/ABCB1 network is a key contributor to the malignant progression and chemotherapeutic resistance of TNBC cells, underscoring the pivotal role of USP51 as a novel therapeutic target for cancer management.

[Objective] To analyze the distribution of Rh blood group phenotype in some ethnic groups in China, so as to provide references for accurate blood transfusion. [Methods] The data of CNKI, Wanfang data and VIP were retrieved using "Rh blood group" and "nationality", and the search of PubMed database was conducted with the keywords "Rh blood group", "nationalities", "ethnic groups" and "China", with retrieval time until September 19, 2024 Data were extracted from eligible studies and the literature quality was evaluated using the criteria for cross-sectional studies in STROBE statement. Meta analysis was performed using Stata 11.0 software. [Results] A total of 350 relevant literature were retrieved, of which 26 were included. The total sample size for Rh phenotype distribution detection were 31 432, and the total population for RhD negative screening was 47 227, covering 26 ethnic groups. Meta-analysis revealed that the Rh blood groups phenotype distribution in certain ethnic populations in China was mainly CCDee 46.7% (95%CI=46.2%-47.2%), CcDEe 30.1% (95%CI=29.5%-30.6%), and CcDee 9.0% (95%CI=8.7%-9.3%). Analysis of the RhD-negative phenotype indicated an negative rate of RhD of 0.3% (95%CI=0.2%-0.3%), with the main phenotype distributions of ccdee at 0.2% (95%CI=0.1%-0.2%) and ccdEe at 0.2% (95%CI=0.0%-0.4%). The meta-analysis results of the distribution of common phenotypes among different ethnic groups showed that the CCDee phenotype was mainly distributed as Hani>Dong>Buyi>Miao>Tujia>Hui>Zang>Kazakh>Mongol>Uygur; the CcDEe phenotype: Zang>Mongol>Hui; the CcDee phenotype: Uygur>Kazakh>Mongol>Zang>Hui>Dong>Miao>Tujia>Buyi; the ccDEE phenotype: Zang>Hui=Mongol. The results of this study are similar to those of Qingdao population in China, but differ from studies conducted in North India, German individuals of European ancestry and Saudi Arabian populations. [Conclusion] The distribution of Rh blood group phenotypes in some ethnic groups in China shows no significant difference compared to the Han population, but there are differences when compared to populations in other countries and regions.

BACKGROUND:
Without timely and effective rehabilitation, hearing loss may profoundly affect human life quality. China has a large population of hearing-impaired individuals, which imposes a heavy health burden on society. Moreover, this population is projected to increase rapidly owing to China's aging society.
METHODS:
We used data from a population-representative epidemiological investigation of hearing loss and ear diseases in four Chinese provinces. We estimated the national prevalence using multiple linear regression of the age-group proportions and prevalence in 31 provinces with clustering analysis. We used years lived with disability (YLDs) to analyze the disease burden and forecasted the prevalence of hearing loss by 2060 in China.
RESULTS:
An estimated 115 million people had moderate-to-complete hearing loss in 2015 across the 31 provinces of China (8.4% of 1.37 billion people). Of these, 85.7% were older than age 50 years (99 million people) and 2.4% were younger than 20 years old (2.8 million people). Of all YLDs attributable to hearing loss, 68.9% were attributable to moderate-to-complete cases. By 2060, a projected 242 million people in China will have moderate-to-complete hearing loss, a 110.0% increase from 2015.
CONCLUSIONS
The hearing loss prevalence in China is high. Population aging and socioeconomic factors substantially affect the prevalence and severity of hearing loss and the disease burden. The prevalence and severity of hearing loss are unevenly distributed across different provinces. Future public health policies should take these trends and regional variations into account.

OBJECTIVE To mine the adverse drug event (ADE) signals of selinexor, and to provide reference for its clinical safety medication. METHODS ADE data for selinexor reported from July 3rd, 2019 to March 31st, 2023 were collected from the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS). Data mining was performed by using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) methods, and categorization statistics were performed by using the system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) from drug ADE terminology set in the MedDRA (version 26.0). RESULTS A total of 3 084 ADE reports were obtained for selinexor, with a total of 134 ADE-positive signals. Among the reported genders, there were 127 males and 124 females, with a predominant age of ≥65 years old (4.12%); the United States had the highest number of reports (96.53%), with consumers being the main reporters (77.27%); severe ADR was mainly characterized by hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization (26.26%), followed by death (17.15%). The top 3 ADE in the list of frequency were nausea (1 162 times), fatigue (790 times) and anorexia (610 times), all of which were mentioned in the selinexor’s instructions. The top 3 signals in the list of strength were device-associated bacteremia (ROR=115.07, PRR=114.94), blepharospasm dysfunction (ROR=106.70, PRR=106.54), and salmonella sepsis (ROR=99.90, PRR=99.81), all of which were not mentioned in the selinexor’s instructions. CONCLUSIONS In addition to the ADE of nausea mentioned in the instruction manual, attention should also paid to device-associated bacteremia, blepharospasm dysfunction, salmonella sepsis, and other ADE not mentioned in the instruction manual when using selinexor in clinical practice; weekly rechecking of the patient’s blood routine should be done to monitor the patient’s blood indexes, symptoms of infection, and so on, to ensure that the safety of 1661962346@qq.com drug use.

Objective:To establish an active monitoring model for adverse reactions/events of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) for application and promotion in medical institutions.Methods:The subjects were type 2 diabetes patients who were discharged from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University (our hospital) from March 1, 2021 to October 1, 2022 and treated with SGLT2i. The patients were divided into 2 parts and assigned to the pre-trial phase and clinical application validation phase, respectively. SGLT2i-related adverse reactions/events from domestic and foreign databases and drug labels were retrieved, and triggering items were developed preliminarily. After soliciting opinions from experts in our hospital, referring to relevant medical orders, disease course records, and laboratory indicator reference values, the triggering items were modified, and a questionnaire survey was conducted using the Delphi method. According to expert opinions, the items were sorted, analyzed, discussed, and modified to form preliminary triggering items. A monitoring model was established based on the Chinese hospital drug surveillance system, the triggering items were improved during the pre-trial phase, and validated during the clinical application phase.Results:A total of 218 and 858 patients were obtained in the pre-trial phase and clinical application validation phase, respectively. Based on literature and drug labels, 44 triggering items were preliminarily formed. A total of 16 survey questionnaires from experts were collected. After being modified based on expert opinions, and further improved during the pre-trial phase, 24 triggering items were determined finally, including 8 laboratory indicators (A), 4 rescue agents (B), 11 clinical symptoms (C), and 1 intervention measure (D). The number of positive cases monitored by the model during the pre-trial phase and clinical application validation phase was 56 and 189, respectively. The actual number of positive cases under manual review was 12 and 57, respectively. The positive predictive value (PPV) of the triggering items in the pre-trial phase and clinical application phase were 25.0% (18/72) and 30.9% (77/249), respectively, with adverse reaction/event detection rates of 5.5% (12/218) and 6.6% (57/858), sensitivity of 92.3% (12/13) and 100% (57/57), and specificity of 78.5% (161/205) and 83.5% (669/801). Among the 12 positive cases in the pre-trial phase and 57 positive cases in the clinical application validation phase, the association evaluation was probable and possible (4, 8 cases and 16, 41 cases, respectively). The severity of adverse reactions/events was mainly grade 2 (11 cases and 55 cases, respectively). The main adverse reactions/events of SGLT2i were hypoglycemia, urinary tract infections, rashes, etc. Pancreatitis, weight loss, etc., which were not stated in the drug labels, were evaluated as probable.Conclusion:Through pre-trial and internal clinical validation phase, the adverse reaction/event active monitoring model established for SGLT2i in this study has high sensitivity and specificity, and can be applied practically in medical institutions.

Objective:To explore the association between weight status and early changes in blood pressure, cardiac structure and function in children at 4 years of age.Methods:A cross-sectional study of the relationship between weight status and cardiovascular parameters was performed on the platform of "Shanghai Birth Cohort" in Shanghai Xinhua Hospital between 2017 and 2020. Height, weight, blood pressure and echocardiography were measured in 1 477 children at 4 years of age. According to body mass index (BMI), participants were classified into five groups: underweight, lean, normal weight, overweight and obese. Blood pressure, cardiac structure and function indexes were compared among different groups using one-way ANOVA. The associations between blood pressure, cardiac structure and function and weight status in children were analyzed by linear regression models. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze whether weight status was an independent risk factor for elevated blood pressure or left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in children.Results:A total of 1 477 children including 772 boys and 705 girls were included in this study. There were 115 overweight and obese boys (14.9%) and 68 overweight and obese girls (9.6%). The majority of children had normal weight (916 cases, 62.0%), followed by underweight (303 cases, 20.5%), overweight (130 cases, 8.8%), lean (75 cases, 5.1%), and obese (53 cases, 3.6%). With the increase of BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular posterior wall thickness in systole, left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole, left ventricular diameter in end-systole, left ventricular diameter in end-diastole, interventricular septum thickness in systole and left ventricular ejection fraction showed significantly positive trend, and the differences among the groups were significant (F=31.73, 6.59, 14.22, 4.96, 3.01, 31.50, 39.79, 5.91, 3.09, all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that overweight and obese were all positively associated with systolic blood pressure (β=5.2, 95% CI 3.6-6.8), LVMI (β=1.9, 95% CI 0.8-3.1), left ventricular diameter in end-systole (β=1.3, 95% CI 0.9-1.8), and left ventricular diameter in end-diastole (β=1.6, 95% CI 1.0-2.2). In the Logistic regression model, compared with normal weight children, overweight ( OR=2.37, 95% CI 1.37-4.41) and obese children ( OR=10.90, 95% CI 4.47-26.60) both had significantly increased risk of elevated blood pressure. However, the risk of LVH did not significantly increased. Conclusions:Overweight and obesity in 4-year-old children are associated with increased blood pressure, increased left ventricle diameter and LVMI. Overweight and obesity are independent risk factors for elevated blood pressure in children at 4 years of age.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of conjoint fascia sheath suspension and levator palpebrae muscle shortening on congenital severe blepharoptosis.Methods:From June 2014 to December 2018, 30 cases (40 eyes) of congenital severe ptosis were treated in Ningbo First Hospital and Shaoxing Women and Children's Hospital. All patients were corrected by conjoint fascia sheath suspension and levator palpebrae muscle shortening. Six months after operation, the distance between the middle point of upper eyelid margin and corneal reflex point was measured to evaluate the correction effect of blepharoptosis; the improvement of upper eyelid appearance was evaluated by 5-point Likert scale (LS), and the incidence of complications was counted.Results:Thirty patients (40 eyes) were followed up for 6-12 months. Correction effect showed that preoperative marginal reflex distance (MRD) was (0.10±0.05) and postoperative MRD was (3.80±0.55); the difference was statistically significant ( t=0.95, P<0.05); 38 eyes (95%) were corrected and 2 eyes (5%) were undercorrected; appearance of upper eyelid showed that preoperative LS was (0.50±0.05) and postoperative LS (3.80±0.55); the difference was statistically significant ( t=0.98, P<0.05). Only one case was complicated with keratitis caused by improper early nursing after incomplete closure exposure, and the patient was cured by sealing the eyes combined with drug conservative treatment. Conclusions:Combined conjoint fascial sheath suspension and levator palpebrae shortening in the treatment of severe blepharoptosis has significant effect, with the advantages of simple operation, small surgical trauma, low recurrence rate, low incidence of complications, high predictability of surgical results and high satisfactory rate of patients.

Kidney transplantation is the most fundamental treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, due to the long-term malnutrition of the patient before transplantation, coupled with the use of stress stimulation, immunosuppressive agents, and high-dose hormones after kidney transplantation, the patient is in a hypermetabolic state, and malnutrition is aggravated. The nutrition status of patients has a significant impact on the prognosis and development of kidney transplantation. Therefore, this article reviews the current status of nutrition intervention, the assessment of malnutrition, the related factors of malnutrition, and nutrition management in kidney transplantation recipients, so as to provide a reference for the nutrition and diet management of kidney transplantation recipients.
