METHODS Retrieved from CNKI， VIP， Wanfang， CBM， Cochrane Library and PubMed， randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about Jianwei xiaoshi oral liquid in the treatment of FD in children were collected from the inception to Apr. 2024. The control group was treated with conventional western drugs （including gastrointestinal motion-promoting， antacids or acid-suppressing drugs）， and the trial group was treated with Jianwei xiaoshi oral liquid alone or combined with conventional Western drugs （drug dosage and course of treatment were the same as the control group）. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software after quality evaluation with the Cochrane risk bias assessment tool 6.1. RESULTS Totally 16 literature were employed which included 1 962 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that the total clinical effective rate of Jianwei xiaoxi oral liquid in the treatment of FD in children of trial group was significantly higher than that of the control group [RR＝1.18， 95%CI （1.13， 1.22）， P＜0.000 01]. In this study， subgroup analysis was conducted on the usage and dosage， course of treatment， and combination or not in trial group， as well as the type of conventional Western drugs. The results showed that the total clinical effective rate of trial group was significantly higher than that of control group； the relief time of abdominal distension and abdominal pain in trial group [MD＝－2.54， 95%CI （－3.10， －1.98）]， loss of appetite relief time [MD＝－2.12， 95%CI （－2.63， －1.61）]， nausea and vomiting relief time [MD＝－1.70， 95%CI （－2.27， －1.14）]， and belching relief time [MD＝－1.61， 95%CI （－2.44， －0.78）] were shorter than that of the control group significantly （P＜0.05）. In addition， compared with control group， the levels of gastrin [SMD＝1.63， 95%CI （0.98， 2.29）] and motilin [SMD＝2.06， 95%CI （1.58， 2.54）] as well as gastric antral emptying rate [MD＝5.99， 95%CI （2.78， 9.21）] in trial group were increased significantly， while the level of somatostatin was decreased significantly [SMD＝－1.30， 95%CI （－1.57， －1.02）] （P≤0.000 3）. CONCLUSIONS Jianwei xiaoshi oral liquid， whether used alone or in combination with other medications， and regardless of the treatment course or dosage and usage， is effective in treating FD in children， with good safety.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of DNA damage and repair in MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia(MLL-r AML)cells by the combination of Chidamide and the BRD4 inhibitor(+)-JQ-1.Methods:MLL-r AML cell lines Molm-13,MV4-11 and non-MLL-r AML cell line Kasumi were divided into control group(contr),Chidamide group(chida),(+)-JQ-1 group and Combination group(combi),respectively.Cell viability of Molm-13 was measured by CCK-8 to determine optimal the concentrations of Chidamide and(+)-JQ-1.The cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry,and apoptosis-related factors Bcl-2,Bax and caspase-3 were detected by Western blot.DNA damage marker γH2AX was detected by immunofluorescence.The protein expressions of DNA damage factor γH2AX,DNA damage checkpoint kinases p-ATR,p-CHK1,p-ATM,p-CHK2 and DNA damage repair factors Rad51 and 53BP1 were detected by Western blot.The expression of DNA damage repair factors Rad51 and 53BP1 mRNA was detected by qRT-PCR.Results:Under the treatment of Chidamide(300 nmol/L)and(+)-JQ-1(400 nmol/L),the proportion of G1 phase cells in MLL-r AML cell lines Molm-13 and MV4-11 was increased in combination group compared with control group.In non-MLL-r AML cell line Kasumi,compared with control group,the proportion of G1 phase cells in combination group was increased(P＜0.05).In Molm-13 and MV4-11 cell lines,compared with control group,the expression level of DNA damage marker γH2AX in combination group was increased(P＜0.05).The expression levels of DNA damage checkpoint and damage repair factors p-ATR,p-CHK1,p-ATM,p-CHK2,Rad51,53BP1 were decreased(P＜0.05).In Kasumi cell line,compared with control group,there was no significant change in the expression of some of the above factors in combination group(P＞0.05),but the expression trend of some factors was opposite.In MLL-r AML cell lines Molm-13 and MV4-11,compared with control group,the expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 protein were increased in combination group,while the expression levels of Bcl-2 protein were decreased(P＜0.05).In non-MLL-r AML cell line Kasumi,there was no significant change in apoptotic factor protein expression in combination group compared with control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Chidamide combined with(+)-JQ-1 can inhibit the proliferation of MLL-r AML cells,inhibit the initiation of protective self-repair of these leukemia cells by inhibiting the DNA damage response pathway,and ultimately increase the apoptosis of these cells,but non-MLL-r AML cells have no similar results.

Objective To explore the association between R611H(G/A,rs734312)variation of WFS1 gene and early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 181 Chinese patients with early-onset T2DM(T2DM group)and 196 non-diabetic controls(NC group)were enrolled in this study.The rs734312 variation was detected by PCR-direct sequencing.Genotypic and allelic frequencies of rs734312 and clinical variables were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results Compared with the NC group,the frequencies of AA genotype and A allele in R611H(G→A)variation were significantly elevated in the early-onset T2DM group,AA vs GA+GG(OR 1.720,95%CI 1.100～2.680,P<0.05).A vs G(OR 1.500,95%CI 1.020～2.220,P<0.05).The remarkable differences of frequencies of genotype and allele in rs734312(G/A)were observed between Asians(China,Japan and Korea)and Caucasians(Denmark,Britain,Spain,France and Russia,P<0.01 for each).Compared with AA genotype,fasting and 2 hours postprandial insulin(FIns and 2 hIns)as well as HOMA-β were significantly rise in GG+GA genotype carriers of early-onset T2DM group(P<0.05).Conclusions The a allele of rs734312 in WFS1 may be a risk factor for early-onset T2DM in Chinese population,and the variation might be a potential genetic marker for predicting the islet β-cell dysfunction in early-onset T2DM in Chinese population.

Objective:To explore the impact of rehabilitation exercise intervention mode based on cardiac function classification on clinical effect and quality of life(QOL)in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods:A total of 160 CHF patients who visited our hospital from Dec 2021 to Jan 2023 were selected,and 154 cases were fi-nally enrolled.According to the random number table method,patients were divided into study group and control group with 77 cases in each group.Control group received routine nursing program,while the study group received rehabilitation exercise intervention based on cardiac function classification on the basis of control group,both groups were intervened for three months.Clinical total effective rate,and cardiopulmonary function,serum oxidative stress indicators and MLHFQ score before and after intervention were compared between two groups.Results:Total effective rates of study subgroups of class Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than those of control group(class Ⅱ:100.00％vs.83.78％;class Ⅲ:97.37％vs.80.00％)(P＜0.05 both).Compared with control subgroup of classⅢ after intervention,there were significant rise in peak VO2[(16.98±2.03)ml·min-1·kg-1 vs.(18.61±2.41)ml·min-1·kg-1],LVEF[(41.73±4.53)％vs.(48.03±5.22)％]and 6MWD[(351.34±61.00)m vs.(391.53±64.42)m](P＜0.01 all);and significant reductions in LVEDd[(57.55±3.91)mm vs.(53.18±3.07)mm],LVESd[(35.90±2.91)mm vs.(30.50±2.67)mm],levels of LPO[(6.00±0.99)mg/L vs.(3.95±0.61)mg/L],MPO[(3.83±0.58)mg/L vs.(2.03±0.28)mg/L],and MLHFQ total score[(57.05±4.57)points vs.(45.29±3.94)points]in study subgroup of class Ⅲ(P=0.001 all).Compared with control subgroup of class Ⅱ after intervention,there were significant rise in peak VO2,LVEF and 6MWD,and significant reductions in LVEDd,LVESd,levels of LPO,MPO and MLHFQ score in study subgroup of class Ⅱ,P＜0.05 or＜0.01.There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of adverse events during follow-up between two groups(3.90％vs.6.49％,P=0.717).Conclusion:Rehabilitation exercise intervention based on cardiac function classifi-cation can significantly improve cardiopulmonary function,inhibit oxidative stress response in vivo and improve quality of life in CHF patients,which is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.

The male patient,one day old,was admitted to the hospital due to hypoglycemia accompanied by apnea appearing six hours after birth.The patient had transient hypoglycemia early after birth,and acute heart failure suddenly occurred on the eighth day after birth.Laboratory tests showed significantly reduced levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol,and pituitary magnetic resonance imaging was normal.Genetic testing results showed that the patient had probably pathogenic compound heterozygous mutations of the TBX19 gene(c.917-2A＞G+c.608C＞T),inherited respectively from the parents.The patient was conclusively diagnosed with congenital isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency caused by mutation of the TBX19 gene.Upon initiating hydrocortisone replacement therapy,cardiac function rapidly returned to normal.After being discharged,the patient continued with the hydrocortisone replacement therapy.By the 18-month follow-up,the patient was growing and developing well.In neonates,unexplained acute heart failure requires caution for possible endocrine hereditary metabolic diseases,and timely cortisol testing and genetic testing should be conducted.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(3):321-324,V]

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

As a serious cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis (AS) causes chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in the body and poses a threat to human health. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a member of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) family, and its elevated levels have been shown to contribute to AS. Lp-PLA2 is closely related to a variety of lipoproteins, and its role in promoting inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in AS is mainly achieved by hydrolyzing oxidized phosphatidylcholine (oxPC) to produce lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC). Moreover, macrophage apoptosis within plaque is promoted by localized Lp-PLA2 which also promotes plaque instability. This paper reviews those researches of Chinese medicine in treating AS via reducing Lp-PLA2 levels to guide future experimental studies and clinical applications related to AS.

AIM:To measure the superficial capillary plexus(SCP)vessel density(VD), deep capillary plexus(DCP)VD, and the area, circumference, and roundness index of the foveal avascular zone(FAZ)in healthy individuals of four ethnic groups, namely, Uyghur, Han, Kazakh, and Hui by optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA), and to investigate the differences of blood flow parameters in macular area of healthy individuals among different ethnic groups in China.METHODS: A total of 80 cases(80 eyes)of healthy subjects if each of the four ethnic groups who went to the Eye Center of the Friendship Hospital of Ili Kazak autonomous Prefecture from December 2022 to March 2023 and met the criteria were selected for the study, with 320 eyes totally. The patients were grouped and numbered according to their ethnicity, and the spherical equivalent and axial length were obtained by using an autorefractor and IOL Master. The blood flow images of the macular area in the range of 3 mm×3 mm were obtained by using a DRI Triton OCT detector, and the images were analyzed by using the built-in IMAGENET6 software to obtain the blood flow parameters. Furthermore, the differences in the blood flow parameters between different ethnic groups as well as the effects of gender, age, and axial length on macular blood flow parameters of different ethnic groups were compared.RESULTS:There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, axial length, diopter, and image quality(IQ)among the four groups of subjects(all P>0.05). Ethnic differences: in SCP, Uyghur inferior VD is higher than Kazakh, Hui inferior VD is higher than Han and Kazakh, Han and Hui nasal VD is higher than Uyghur, Kazakh foveal VD is higher than Han and Hui, Kazakh FAZ area is smaller than the other 3 ethnic groups, Han and Hui FAZ perimeter is larger than Kazakh, and Hui FAZ circularity index is lower than the other 3 ethnic groups; in DCP, Uyghur foveal VD is higher than Han and Hui, Kazakh foveal VD is higher than Han and Hui, Kazakh FAZ area and perimeter are smaller than the other 3 ethnic groups and Kazakh FAZ circularity index is higher than the other 3 ethnic groups(all P<0.05). Sex differences: in SCP, FAZ area and perimeter of Han females were larger than those of males, and FAZ circularity index of Hui females was higher than that of males(all P<0.05); in DCP, parafoveal VD and whole VD in females of all four ethnic groups were higher than those of males(all P<0.05). Age correlation: in SCP, age was negatively correlated with the FAZ circularity index of Kazakh; in DCP, age was negatively correlated with the parafoveal and the whole VD of Han, Kazakh, and Hui(all P<0.05). Axial length correlation: in SCP, the axial length was negatively correlated with Kazakh and Hui foveal VD, Hui parafoveal VD, Uyghur, Kazakh and Hui whole VD, and positively correlated with Kazakh FAZ area and perimeter; in DCP, the axial length was negatively correlated with Uyghur, Kazakh, Hui foveal VD, Hui whole VD, and positively correlated with Kazakh and Hui FAZ area and perimeter(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION:There were differences in macular blood flow parameters among the Uyghur, Han, Kazakh, and Hui populations, with the area and perimeter of the FAZ of the Kazakh significantly smaller than those of the other three ethnic groups. Gender, age, and axial length are also related to macular blood flow parameters.
