The search period spanned from January 2015 to December 2024. Literature screening, quality appraisal, evidence extraction, and synthesis were performed independently according to uniform standards.Results:A total of 12 publications were included, comprising three clinical decisions, three evidence-based guidelines, and six expert consensuses. Thirty-seven best evidence statements were synthesized across four domains: risk factor identification, diagnosis and monitoring, antenatal and delivery room management, and neonatal intensive care unit management. These included 28 strong recommendations (Grade A) and nine weak recommendations (Grade B).Conclusion:The 37 summarized best evidence statements provide an evidence-based foundation for developing clinical management protocols for perinatal IVH in preterm infants.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology of four fetuses with Uniparental disomy (UPD), and analyze their causes. METHODS: Four fetuses undergoing prenatal diagnosis at Wenzhou Central Hospital between November 2021 and July 2024 were selected as the study subjects. Genetic testing and diagnosis were carried out through G-banded chromosomal karyotyping, single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) and methylation multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA). This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No.: L2024-11-028). RESULTS: The four cases of pathogenic UPD had involved chromosomes 2, 11, 15 and 16, respectively, of which 2 cases were accompanied by fetal ultrasound abnormalities, One fetus was shown a high risk by serological screening, while another showed a high risk by non-invasive DNA testing. The karyotype of fetus 1 was 45,X?,rob(13;15)(q10;q10), and its parents had both carried a Robertsonian translocation involving chromosomes 13 and 15, whilst the karyotypes of other three fetuses were all normal. Pedigree analysis indicated that the UPDs in three cases were paternally derived, and the remaining one was unknown. The causes of the four cases included imprinting syndrome in two cases, autosomal recessive disorder in one case, and cryptic mosaic trisomy in one case. CONCLUSION The clinical phenotypes of UPD are diverse, and the mechanisms are complex. Combined chromosomal karyotyping, SNP-array, MS-MLPA and other technologies are required to make a clear diagnosis for prenatal genetic counseling and postnatal management.

Objective:To investigate the factors influencing sound localization in patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss, so as to provide the reference for hearing rehabilitation of patients with unilateral sudden hearing loss.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study that retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and audiological examination results of 228 patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss(103 males and 125 females; aged from 18 to 80 years, with an average age of 46.2 years; 107 cases in the left ear and 121 cases in the right ear; 8 cases of low-frequency decline type, 42 cases of high-frequency decline type, 92 cases of flat decline type, and 86 cases of total deafness type)at the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University from June 2023 to April 2024. The minimum audible angle (MAA) was calculated by the angle discrimination test of 1000 Hz and 4000 Hz warble tones, which were recorded as MAA 1 000 and MAA 4 000 according to the frequency of the given sound stimulus. The root mean square error (RMSE) was calculated by the angle recognition test with daily natural sounds as the stimulus sound. Using SPSS 27.0 statistical software, correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to research the clinical factors affecting the ability of sound localization in patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Results:The mean MAA 1 000, MAA 4 000, RMSE of patients with unilateral sudden deafness were (53.97±29.14)°, (46.34±28.87)° and (30.06±13.64)°, respectively. Univariate analysis of variance revealed that there were significant differences between different classifications of sudden sensorineural hearing loss for sound localization tests (MAA 1 000: F=6.338, P<0.001,MAA 4 000: F=14.334, P<0.001,RMSE: F=49.918, P<0.001), post-hoc analysis observed that all significant contrasts were included the type of total deafness and low-frequency deafness. Correlation analysis showed the age of subjects in this study was weak positively correlated to the MAA 1 000 ( r=0.165, P=0.013), the duration of sudden sensorineural hearing loss was weak negatively related to RMSE ( r=-0.144, P=0.030), there were significant positive relationships between the threshold of PTA, PTA 1kHz, PTA 4kHz for the affected side, as well as the binaural PTA difference and sound localization test (MAA 1 000,MAA 4 000,RMSE) (all P<0.001). The multiple regression analysis showed the age and the binaural PTA difference for the affected side were the significant factors for the MAA 1 000 and MAA 4 000, the binaural PTA difference was the significant factors for the RMSE. The R 2 of multivariable linear regression model for MAA 1 000, MAA 4 000 and RMSE results in unilateral sudden deafness patients were 0.149, 0.207 and 0.553, respectively. Conclusion:Age, the hearing of the affected side, and binaural PTA difference are the significant factors for sound localization ability in patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss, hearing compensation of the affected ear for these patients is hopeful to enhance the sound localization ability.

Objective To identify the relationship between physical activity,insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk in individuals with different glucose tolerance status and to provide evidence for exercise intervention in people with different glucose tolerance status.Methods A total of 691 patients with different glucose metabolism status were recruited as subjects of the research.Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the relationship between exercise frequency and insulin resistance,insulin sensitivity,neck circumference(NC)and neck circumference height ratio(NHtR)in the subjects with different glucose metabolism status,the relationship between NC and insu-lin resistance and insulin sensitivity in different glucose metabolism groups.Results 171(62.9%)Subjects with diabetes were intervened by exercised every day.Spearman correlation analysis showed the correlation between exer-cise frequency and tri-glyceride triglyceride-glucose index(TyG index)(r=-0.120,P＜0.05)and NC(r=-0.168,P＜0.05)were negatively correlated.In subjects with diabetes,NC was positively correlated with triglyc-erides(TG)(r=-0.100,P＜0.05),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-R)(r=-0.163,P＜0.05),total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein(TC/HDL-C)(r=-0.214,P＜0.05)and TyG index(r=-0.156,P＜0.05).Conclusions Increased frequency of exercise is associated with reduced NC,improved insulin resistance,and cardiovascular risk factors in subjects of our team with newly diagnosed diabetes.Exercise has no significant effect on insulin resistance of subjects with normal glucose tolerance and pre-diabetes.

Objective To explore the preventive effect of sodium hyaluronate-carboxymethyl cellulose anti-adhesion membrane plus intrauterine device(IUD)on readhesion in transcervical resection of adhesion(TCRA).Methods A total of 89 patients with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions who received TCRA treatment in Hunan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from February 2021 to February 2022 were selected,patients were divided into control group(n=44)and study group(n=45)using the envelope method.Patients in control group were placed with IUD;Patients in study group were treated with sodium hyaluronate carboxymethyl cellulose anti adhesion film in addition to control group.The intrauterine adhesion,curative effect,menstrual recovery and American Fertility Association(AFS)scoring were compared between the two groups,and the pregnancy status of the patients within one year of follow-up was recorded.Results Compared with control group,the incidence of readhesion in study group patients decreased(P<0.05);The good rate of postoperative menstrual recovery was higher than that of control group(P<0.05);The total effective rate of treatment was higher than that of control group(P<0.05);The AFS scoring of study group patients were lower than those of control group in terms of adhesion range,adhesion type,menstrual pattern score,and total score(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in clinical pregnancy rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion In TCRA,the combination of sodium hyaluronate-carboxymethyl cellulose anti-adhesion membrane and IUD can significantly reduce the incidence of readhesion,improve the postoperative good rate of menstrual recovery and the overall treatment response rate,the clinical pregnancy rate was not affected.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the regulatory mechanism of human hepatocyte apoptosis induced by lysosomal membrane protein Sidt2 knockout. METHODS: The Sidt2 knockout (Sidt2^-/-) cell model was constructed in human hepatocyte HL7702 cells using Crispr-Cas9 technology.The protein levels of Sidt2 and key autophagy proteins LC3-II/I and P62 in the cell model were detected using Western blotting, and the formation of autophagosomes was observed with MDC staining.EdU incorporation assay and flow cytometry were performed to observe the effect of Sidt2 knockout on cell proliferation and apoptosis.The effect of chloroquine at the saturating concentration on autophagic flux, proliferation and apoptosis of Sidt2 knockout cells were observed. RESULTS: Sidt2^-/- HL7702 cells were successfully constructed.Sidt2 knockout significantly inhibited the proliferation and increased apoptosis of the cells, causing also increased protein expressions of LC3-II/I and P62(P < 0.05) and increased number of autophagosomes.Autophagy of the cells reached a saturated state following treatment with 50 μmol/L chloroquine, and at this concentration, chloroquine significantly increased the expressions of LC3B and P62 in Sidt2^-/- HL7702 cells. CONCLUSION Sidt2 gene knockout causes dysregulation of the autophagy pathway and induces apoptosis of HL7702 cells, and the latter effect is not mediated by inhibiting the autophagy-lysosomal pathway.

Nerve regeneration in adult mammalian spinal cord is poor because of the lack of intrinsic regeneration of neurons and extrinsic factors - the glial scar is triggered by injury and inhibits or promotes regeneration. Recent technological advances in spatial transcriptomics (ST) provide a unique opportunity to decipher most genes systematically throughout scar formation, which remains poorly understood. Here, we first constructed the tissue-wide gene expression patterns of mouse spinal cords over the course of scar formation using ST after spinal cord injury from 32 samples. Locally, we profiled gene expression gradients from the leading edge to the core of the scar areas to further understand the scar microenvironment, such as neurotransmitter disorders, activation of the pro-inflammatory response, neurotoxic saturated lipids, angiogenesis, obstructed axon extension, and extracellular structure re-organization. In addition, we described 21 cell transcriptional states during scar formation and delineated the origins, functional diversity, and possible trajectories of subpopulations of fibroblasts, glia, and immune cells. Specifically, we found some regulators in special cell types, such as Thbs1 and Col1a2 in macrophages, CD36 and Postn in fibroblasts, Plxnb2 and Nxpe3 in microglia, Clu in astrocytes, and CD74 in oligodendrocytes. Furthermore, salvianolic acid B, a blood-brain barrier permeation and CD36 inhibitor, was administered after surgery and found to remedy fibrosis. Subsequently, we described the extent of the scar boundary and profiled the bidirectional ligand-receptor interactions at the neighboring cluster boundary, contributing to maintain scar architecture during gliosis and fibrosis, and found that GPR37L1_PSAP, and GPR37_PSAP were the most significant gene-pairs among microglia, fibroblasts, and astrocytes. Last, we quantified the fraction of scar-resident cells and proposed four possible phases of scar formation: macrophage infiltration, proliferation and differentiation of scar-resident cells, scar emergence, and scar stationary. Together, these profiles delineated the spatial heterogeneity of the scar, confirmed the previous concepts about scar architecture, provided some new clues for scar formation, and served as a valuable resource for the treatment of central nervous system injury.

Objective:To investigate risk factors for cognitive decline in elderly hospitalised hypertensive patients, develop a risk prediction model and validate it.Methods:By the convenient sampling method, a total of 379 elderly hypertensive patients admitted to Department of Cardiology, Department of Geriatrics (General) and Department of Endocrinology in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from April to October 2022 were selected as the study objects. Binomial Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of cognitive frailty in elderly hospitalized hypertensive patients and establish a prediction model. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test were used to evaluate the prediction effect and calibration degree of the model, and Bootstrap method was used for internal verification.Results:Among 379 elderly hospitalized hypertensive patients, 145 (38.3%) had cognitive frailty. Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that age, education level, drinking history, daily exercise, use of angiotensin receptor antagonists, Barthel index and nutritional status were the influential factors for cognitive frailty in elderly hospitalized hypertensive patients ( P< 0.05). The area under ROC curve of the prediction model was 0.770 (95% CI: 0.721-0.819, P< 0.001), the sensitivity was 0.607, the specificity was 0.838, and the maximum approximate entry index was 0.445. Hosmer Lemeshow goodness of fit test χ 2=3.581, P=0.893. Internal validation was conducted using the Bootstrap method to resample 1 000 times, and the results showed that the average area under the ROC curve of the prediction model was 0.737 (0.687-0.788) . Conclusions:The risk prediction model for cognitive decline in elderly hospitalized hypertensive patients can predict the risk of cognitive frailty in elderly hospitalized hypertensive patients, which can provide references for medical staff to develop corresponding intervention measures.
