Objective To explore the impacts of remimazolam on intraoperative intracranial pressure(ICP)and cerebral oxygenation in patients undergoing laparoscopic lower abdominal and pelvic surgery under CO2 pneumoperitoneum combined with Trendelenburg position.Methods Eighty-eight patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic lower abdominal and pelvic surgery were randomly assigned to the remimazolam group(n=44)and the sevoflurane group(n=44).In the remimazolam group,continuous infusion of remimazolam at a rate of 1 mg/(kg·h)was administered for anesthesia maintenance.In contrast,the sevoflurane group inhaled 2％sevoflurane.Heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP),peak airway pressure(Peak),plateau airway pressure(Plat),end-tidal CO2(PETCO2),regional cerebral oxygen saturation(rSO2),and optic nerve sheath diameter(ONSD)of both eyes were measured and recorded at the following time points:prior to anesthesia induction(T0),5 minutes after induction(T1),10 minutes(T2),30 minutes(T3),and 60 minutes(T4)after the establishment of pneumo-peritoneum in Trendelenburg position,as well as 30 minutes after deflation in the supine position(T5).Results No significant intergroup differences were detected in HR,MAP,Peak,Plat,or PETCO2 at any time point(P>0.05).In both groups,Peak and Plat values were significantly higher at T2-T4 compared to T1(P<0.05).Regard-ing the ONSD)no intergroup differences were noted at T0 and T1(P>0.05).From T2 to T5,ONSD in both groups increased significantly relative to T0..It gradually rose with the prolongation of pneumoperitoneum and Trendelen-burg positioning and showed a slight decrease at T5(P<0.05).Specifically,at T3 and T4,the remimazolam group exhibited significantly smaller ONSD values than the sevoflurane group(P<0.05).Throughout the study,no inter-group differences in rSO2 were observed(P>0.05).Conclusion In laparoscopic lower abdominal and pelvic surgeries performed in the Trendelenburg position,intravenous anesthesia with remimazolam may be more effective in mitigating the elevation of intracranial pressure compared to sevoflurane inhalation.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of crisaborole ointment 2% versus pimecrolimus cream 1% in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in children aged 2 years or older.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial was conducted. A total of 120 pediatric patients aged 2 - 17 years with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis were enrolled from departments of dermatology of 8 hospitals in China between March 2022 and February 2023. The participants were randomly assigned in a 1∶1 ratio to the crisaborole group and the pimecrolimus group, and received the treatment with crisaborole ointment 2% and pimecrolimus cream 1% respectively, twice a day for 4 weeks. Visits were scheduled at baseline/on day 1, as well as on days 8, 15, and 29. The primary efficacy outcome was the percentage of patients achieving the Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) success (defined as clear [0] or almost clear [1] on the ISGA scale, combined with ≥ 2‐grade improvement from baseline) on day 29. The secondary efficacy outcomes included changes in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) total scores from baseline to day 29, percentages of patients achieving ISGA improvement (defined as clear [0] or almost clear [1] on the ISGA scale), as well as changes in the Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) /Infants' Dermatology Life Quality Index (IDLQI) /Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) scores, and in the Dermatitis Family Impact (DFI) scores. Drug safety was evaluated according to the incidence of adverse events. Categorical data were compared using the chi-square test. Since measurement data did not follow a normal distribution, the rank sum test was used for comparisons of measurement data between groups.Results:A total of 106 children with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis were included in the per-protocol analysis set, with 52 in the crisaborole group (26 males and 26 females) and 54 in the pimecrolimus group (27 males and 27 females). There were no significant differences in age, disease duration, ISGA and EASI scores at baseline between the two groups (all P > 0.05). On day 29, 22 patients (42.31%) in the crisaborole group and 25 (46.30%) in the pimecrolimus group achieved ISGA success, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.17, P = 0.68) ; 35 patients (67.31%) in the crisaborole group and 45 (83.33%) in the pimecrolimus group achieved ISGA improvement, also with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 3.68, P = 0.06) ; additionally, there were no significant differences in the EASI, pruritus NRS, DLQI/IDLQI/CDLQI, or DFI scores between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Adverse reactions to the two topical agents were mainly local reactions such as mild to moderate pain, itching, or worsening of itching, and no obvious systemic adverse reactions occurred. The incidence of drug-related adverse reactions was 46.15% (24 cases) in the crisaborole group and 37.04% (20 cases) in the pimecrolimus group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.91, P = 0.34) . Conclusion:The efficacy of crisaborole ointment 2% was comparable to that of pimecrolimus cream 1% in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in children aged ≥ 2 years, and it yielded early and rapid improvement in the quality of life of patients and their families, with good safety and tolerability profiles.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and analyze the factors associated with prognosis.Methods:A case series study was conducted by retrospectively collecting clinical data from patients aged over 60 years with newly diagnosed stage Ⅰ DLBCL across 20 medical centers in Jiangsu Province, China, between June 2010 and April 2023. The involved site, classification and treatment plan were summarized. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Statistical analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression model.Results:The study included 255 patients with a median age of 69 years, of whom 130 (51.0%) were male, 66 (25.9%) were aged ≥75 years and 26 (10.1%) had a high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score of ≥2. Extranodal involvement was observed in 163 (63.9%) patients, with the stomach (37.4%, 61/163), intestine (19.0%, 31/163), testes (11.0%, 18/163), and breast (7.4%, 12/163) being the most frequently affected sites. The non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) subtype was prevalent in 63.7% of patients (142/223), with no significant difference between the nodal and extranodal groups ( P=0.681). Furthermore, 73.9% (184/249) and 11.7% (29/249) of patients received the R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) and R-miniCHOP regimen, respectively. The overall 3-year PFS rate was 81.5%, and the 3-year OS rate was 85.6%. Patients aged ≥75 years ( HR=2.910, 95% CI 1.565-5.408, P=0.001) and/or with a CCI score ≥2 ( HR=2.324, 95% CI 1.141-4.732, P=0.020) had a significantly poorer PFS. Incorporating age ≥75 years and CCI score ≥2 into the stage-modified international prognostic index (sm-IPI) can better stratify the prognosis of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL. The 3-year PFS rate was 48.7% in the high-risk group versus 85.7% in the low-risk group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Our findings show that the elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL were predominantly characterized by extranodal involvement (particularly in the stomach and intestinal tract) and non-GCB subtype. Age ≥75 years and CCI ≥2 were identified as independent prognostic factors. The newly established sm-IPI-75-CCI incorporating these factors demonstrated superior prognostic discrimination compared to conventional risk assessment systems.

Objective:To study the molecular mechanism of functional defect of protein C (PC) caused by point mutations of human protein C gene (PROC) N355S,G392E and T314A. Methods:The wild-type and mutant plasmids (PCWT,PCN355S,PCG392E,PCT314A) of PROC gene were constructed and transiently transfected into HEK293 cells. The expression of mutant proteins in vitro were tested. The mRNA level changes of wild-type and mutant PC after 24 h of transfection were detected by real-time PCR. Western blot and ELISA were used to detect the changes of intracellular and extracellular protein levels of wild-type and mutant PC. The supernatant of cells transfected for 24-48 h was concentrated by ultrafiltration. The protein in the concentrated solution was quantified,and PC activation and enzyme kinetics tests were performed. Clustal Omega multiple sequence alignment was used to analyze the conservation of amino acid mutation sites. The effect of mutation on PC protein structure was analyzed by PyMOL software. Results:The relative expression abundances of PROC mRNA in PCN355S,PCG392E and PCT314A groups were 1.14±0.46,0.96±0.08 and 1.08±0.17,respectively,and there were no significant differences compared with 1.02±0.24 in PCWT group (P>0.05). Western blot analysis of the lysates of transfected cells showed that the content of PCT314A recombinant protein slightly decreased and the band became relatively lighter. The ELISA results of the concentrated cell culture supernatants showed that the PC:Ag levels of PCN355S and PCG392E were 98.8％±2.4％ and 101.4％±3.1％,respectively,with no significant differences compared with PCWT,while PCT314A decreased compared with PCWT (PC:Ag:88.6％±3.2％) (P<0.05). The results of enzyme kinetics test showed that APCN355S (Km=338.3±43.2,Vmax=2.015±0.12),APCG392E (Km=292.2±28.4,Vmax=1.893±0.07) and APCT314A (Km=299.5±24.6,Vmax=1.775±0.06) showed an increase in Km and a decrease in Vmax compared with APCWT (Km=238.2±4.58,Vmax=3.205±0.06). Multiple sequence alignment suggested that the three mutations be highly conservative in different species. The structural model suggested that the amino acid substitutions of N355S,G392E and T314A mutations collide with the surrounding amino acid groups,causing distortion of the surrounding structure,which may have adverse effects on the folding and biological function of PC. Conclusion:The N355S,G392E and T314A mutations in the PROC gene cause functional defects in PC by weakening the binding between PC and substrate. These three mutations have caused serious spatial collisions in the protein structure,affecting the folding of PC and the reactivity of active sites.
