Objective To identify potential biomarkers for proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)using proteomics and transcriptomics data.Methods In this study,the proteomics dataset(PXD046630)and two transcriptomics datasets(GSE60436 and GSE102485)were derived from the aqueous humor samples and fibrovascular membranes of PDR patients,respectively.Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified via R software,specifically the limma and edgeR pack-ages.The shared DEGs between PXD046630 and GSE60436 were analyzed via protein-protein interaction(PPI),Gene On-tology(GO)enrichment,and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analyses.The key DEGs were validated in GSE102485 via receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.A quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR)assay was used to confirm the mRNA of these candidate biomarkers in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells(HRMECs)cultured in high glucose and low oxygen conditions.Results A total of 59 shared DEGs and 26 hub genes were identified from the PXD046630 and GSE60436 datasets.KEGG analysis revealed that six pathways,inclu-ding extracellular matrix-receptor interaction,proteoglycans in cancer,and complement and coagulation cascades,were enriched in 12 key DEGs.Fibronectin 1(FN1),tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3(TIMP3),complement factor H(CFH),decorin(DCN),and lipoprotein receptor-related protein-2(LRP2)were identified as potential biomarkers on the basis of their AUC values being greater than 0.900(CI≥95％).The mRNA expression levels of FN1,CFH,and LRP2 were significantly increased in HRMECs cultured in high glucose and low oxygen conditions.Conclusion FN1,CFH,and LRP2 are potential biomarkers for PDR,and further studies are needed to explore their roles and therapeutic potential in PDR.

Objective:To investigate the association between magnesium sulfate exposure within 24 h before birth and short-term outcomes in preterm infants under 34 weeks' gestation.Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from preterm infants under 34 weeks admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between June 1, 2020, and December 31, 2024. Infants were categorized into the exposure and the control groups based on magnesium sulfate administration within 24 hours before delivery. Maternal characteristics, birth parameters, and neonatal outcomes were compared using independent t-tests or Chi square tests (Fisher's exact test), with logistic regression assessing magnesium sulfate's effect on non-cerebral palsy outcomes. Results:The cohort comprised 384 preterm infants (24-33 +6 weeks), with 290 (75.5%) in the exposure group and 94 (24.5%) in the control group. (1) Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences in maternal hypertensive disorders, antenatal corticosteroids administration, premature rupture of membranes, delivery mode, or male infant proportion (all P>0.05). The exposure group had lower birth weight [(1 583±451) vs. (1 744±473) g; t=2.97] and gestational age [(31.3±2.1) vs.(31.8±2.4) weeks; t=2.20; both P<0.05)]. (2) The exposure group demonstrated reduced incidence of in-hospital mortality [0.3% (1/290) vs. 6.4% (6/94); Fisher's exact test], grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage [1.7% (5/290) vs. 9.6% (9/94); χ2=12.86], and white matter injury [2.1% (6/290) vs. 9.1% (8/94); χ2=9.08] (all P<0.01). (3) Univariate logistic regression identified antenatal magnesium sulfate as protective against grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage ( OR=0.20, 95% CI: 0.04-0.96), white matter injury ( OR=0.11, 95% CI: 0.01-0.91), and in-hospital mortality ( OR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.88-0.99). (4) Multivariate analysis confirmed the independent protective effect of antenatal exposure of magnesium sulfate against intracranial hemorrhage in preterm infants under 34 weeks ( OR=0.19, 95% CI: 0.04-0.95), particularly pronounced in infants <32 weeks ( OR=0.11, 95% CI: 0.01-0.96). (5) No significant differences emerged in secondary outcomes including 5-minute Apgar scores, respiratory distress syndrome, surfactant administration, mechanical ventilation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, early-onset sepsis, retinopathy of prematurity, metabolic bone disease, or hospitalization duration (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Magnesium sulfate exposure within 24 hours before delivery reduces grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage risk in preterm infants under 34 weeks, with enhanced protection in those <32 weeks, without increasing adverse effects in other organ systems.

Objective:To explore the correlations of sleep quality and architecture with heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with stenoses of vertebrobasilar artery system and internal carotid artery system.Methods:A retrospective study was performed; 72 patients with stenosis or occlusion of the head and neck arteries (not resulting in cerebral infarction) admitted to Department of Neurology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2023 to June 2024 were chosen, including 33 patients with moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion of the vertebrobasilar system (VB group) and 39 patients with moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery system (ICA group). Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and polysomnography (PSG) were used to evaluate the sleep quality and architecture, respectively; and 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram was used to assess the HRV. Differences in PSQI score, PSG and HRV parameters between the two groups were compared; partial correlation analysis was used to explore the correlations of HRV parameters with PSQI scores and PSG parameters; multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors for HRV.Results:(1) Compared with the ICA group, the VB group exhibited significantly higher PSQI scores, spontaneous arousal index (SAI), ratio of time of stage 1 non-rapid eye movement sleep/total sleep time (T N1/T t), and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), while significantly lower ratio of time of rapid eye movement sleep/total sleep time (T R/T t), spindle wave density in stage 2 non-rapid eye movement sleep (N2), lowest blood oxygen saturation, standard deviation of normal to normal intervals (SDNN) of all sinus beats, low-frequency power (LF), and high-frequency power (HF, P<0.05). (2) In both VB group and ICA group, SDNN was negatively correlated with PSQI score ( r=-0.461, P=0.020; r=-0.378, P=0.036). In the VB group, SDNN was negatively correlated with T N1/T t ( r=-0.467, P=0.019) and SAI ( r=-0.551, P=0.004), and positively correlated with ratio of time of stage 3 non-rapid eye movement sleep/total sleep time (T N3/T t, r=0.686, P<0.001) and spindle wave density in N2 ( r=0.518, P=0.008); LF and HF were negatively correlated with SAI ( r=-0.481, P=0.015; r=-0.564, P=0.003). In the ICA group, HF was negatively correlated with spindle wave density in N2 ( r=-0.369; P=0.041). (3) Multivariate linear regression results indicated that T N3/T t (β=0.348, P=0.018), SAI (β=-0.330, P=0.018), and spindle wave density in N2 (β=0.286, P=0.013) were independent influencing factors for Ln_SDNN in patients with moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion of the vertebrobasilar system. Conclusion:Patients with stenosis or occlusion of the vertebrobasilar system exhibit poorer subjective sleep quality, increased light sleep, heightened arousal, and reduced sleep stability compared with those with stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery system, which may be caused by the imbalance of autonomic nerve function.

Objective:To develop one kind of alarm system with pressure sensor,so as to prevent compression injuries of patients with upper limb dysfunction due to the movement of the examination bed during computed tomography(CT)examination.Methods:The alarm system with pressure sensor was constructed on the basis of Arduino UNO open-source main control board and the HX711 weighing module.The Arduino E3 power supply module was used to provide power for system,and ESP8266 main control board was used to realize remote alarm,and its 3 dimension(3D)printed customized shell can directly be installed at the edge of examination bed.A total of 228 patients with upper limb dysfunction who underwent CT examination at Xianxian County Hospital of TCM during July 2022 and October 2022 were selected.They were randomly divided into observation group and control group by using a computer-generated random number sequence.The observation group was monitored for possibly potential compression risks on upper limb of patients by using the alarm system with pressure sensor.The patients of control group were respectively accompanied by one accompanying personnel to go into the scanning room,and they wore lead aprons,lead skirts,and other protective appliances for radiation protection.When a patient is found to be at risk of being crushed,an alarm should be raised by calling a halt.The valid alarm rates of the two alarm methods were calculated.Results:There were 37 times of alarm in observation group in examination,and 31 times were valid alarms and 6 times were invalid alarms in them.In control group,there were 49 times of alarm from accompanying personnel,and 29 times were valid alarms and 20 times were invalid alarms in 49 times of alarm.The valid alarm rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=6.048,P<0.05).Conclusion:The installation of alarm system with pressure sensor is easy,and its use is convenient,and it has a higher valid alarm rate during CT examination,and it can effectively protect patients to prevent compression injuries.

Objective:To investigate the effects of acute sleep deprivation (ASD) on hippocampal glucose metabolism and neuroinflammation in rat models.Methods:Twenty SD rats (10 males and 10 females) were divided into four groups (five in each group) by random sampling method: female ASD group, male ASD group, female control group, and male control group. Among them, the ASD group constructed the ASD model. After 72h sleep deprivation, all rats underwent 18F-FDG and N, N-diethyl-2-(2-(4-(2- 18F-fluoroethoxy)phenyl)-5, 7-dimethylpyrazolo[1, 5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)acetamide ( 18F-DPA-714) microPET/CT brain imaging in 2d to compare the changes of 18F-FDG and 18F-DPA-714 SUV mean in the hippocampus of rats. Brain histopathology, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining were detected in rats. Independent-sample t test was used to analyze the data. Results:18F-FDG imaging showed the hippocampal SUV mean between ASD group and control group (female: 4.11±0.35 vs 1.89±0.28; male: 3.43±0.47 vs 2.02±0.54) were statistically significant ( t values: 9.65, 3.92, P values: <0.001, 0.002). 18F-DPA-714 imaging showed the hippocampal SUV mean between ASD group and control group (females: 0.28±0.01 vs 0.28±0.02; male: 0.26±0.02 vs 0.31±0.04) were not statistically significant ( t values: -0.18, -2.24, P values: 0.859, 0.056). The 18×10 3 translocator protein (TSPO) immunohistochemistry showed the expression in the hippocampal region of the brain between ASD group and control group (female: 0.19±0.02 vs 0.19±0.01; male: 0.21±0.01 vs 0.20±0.01) were not statistically different ( t values: -0.48, -1.67, P values: 0.651, 0.139). Immunofluorescence staining showed that microglial cytosol in the hippocampal region of the brain decreased after 72h of ASD, and the protrusion points and surrounding branches were significantly reduced. Conclusion:Increased hippocampal glucose metabolism in rats is observed after 72 h of ASD without significant neuroinflammation.
