Based on the theory of "yang governs and yin follows"， it is believed that pediatric obesity is primarily involves the key pathogenesis of constraint and stagnation due to yang deficiency， and the excessive accumulation of yin turbid. The root cause lies in the spleen-stomach yang deficiency and impaired digestion and transformation， while the branch manifestation is characterized by constraint and stagnation in sanjiao （三焦） and excessive accumulation of yin turbid. This emphasizes the imbalance between the governing function of yang qi and the transformation mechanism of yin essence in the overall pathological process. Accordingly， the treatment approach of reinforcing yang and unblocking stagnation， inhibiting yin and resolving turbid has been proposed. And a comprehensive treatment plan is suggested， including abdominal tuina combined with spinal manipulation， timed acupuncture according to the the eightfold method of the sacred tortoise， syndrome differentiation-based acupuncture， and mild moxibustion. This approach aims to provide an integrated approach for the prevention and treatment of pediatric obesity.

Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) due to variants of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF1β) (MODY5) has not been well studied in the Chinese population. This study aimed to estimate its prevalence and evaluate the application of a clinical screening method (Faguer score) in Chinese early-onset diabetes (EOD) patients. Methods: Among 679 EOD patients clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age at diagnosis ≤40 years), the exons of HNF1β were sequenced. Functional impact of rare variants was evaluated using a dual-luciferase reporter system. Faguer scores ≥8 prompted multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for large deletions. Pathogenicity of HNF1β variants was assessed following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines. Results: Two rare HNF1β missense mutations (E105K and G454R) were identified by sequencing in five patients, showing functional impact in vitro. Another patient was found to have a whole-gene deletion by MLPA in 22 patients with the Faguer score above 8. Following ACMG guidelines, six patients carrying pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant were diagnosed with MODY5. The estimated prevalence of MODY5 in Chinese EOD patients was approximately 0.9% or higher. Conclusion MODY5 is not uncommon in China. The Faguer score is helpful in deciding whether to perform MLPA analysis on patients with negative sequencing results.

Objective:To analyze the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), especially on the incidence of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy (HDP) in women with moderate to severe OSAS.Methods:A total of 180 pregnant women with OSAS who were diagnosed through sleep monitoring during pregnancy due to high-risk factors of OSAS and registered in Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2021 to May 2024 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data were collected from medical records for retrospective analysis. According to whether they received standardized treatment with CPAP, they were divided into the CPAP treatment group (42 cases) and the control group (138 cases). The CPAP treatment group consisted of 9 pregnant women with moderate to severe OSAS, while the control group consisted of 34 pregnant women with moderate to severe OSAS. The maternal and neonatal outcomes, the incidence of HDP, placental weight after delivery and placental weight/neonatal birth weight ratio were compared between the two groups.Results:(1) The average gestational age of pregnant women in the CPAP treatment group was higher than that in the control group [(38.7±1.0) vs (38.0±1.4) weeks], the proportion of infants small for gestational age (SGA) in the CPAP treatment group was lower [0 (0/42) vs 12.3% (17/138)], and the birth weight of infants in the CPAP treatment group was bigger [(3 396±475) vs (3 082±710) g); the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the CPAP treatment group and the control group in terms of delivery mode, rates of postpartum hemorrhage and preterm birth, umbilical artery blood gas analysis pH<7.1, lactate≥6.0 mmol/L, base excess<-12.0 mmol/L and the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus and HDP (all P>0.05). (2) The placental weight of the CPAP treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group [(554.0±70.6) vs (615.7±119.1) g], the placental weight/newborn birth weight ratio of the CPAP treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group (median: 0.17 vs 0.19), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (3) The incidence of HDP in pregnant women with moderate to severe OSAS in the CPAP treatment group was lower than that in the control group [1/9 vs 61.8% (21/34)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CPAP treatment could prolong the gestational age in pregnant women with OSAS, reduce the incidence of SGA, increase the birth weight of infants, and reduce the incidence of HDP in pregnant women with moderate to severe OSAS, and is worth promoting in clinical practice. The improvement of neonatal outcomes by CPAP treatment is closely related to the placenta, which is worthy of further exploration.

The incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)has been increasing annually.Current primary treatment strategies involve dietary modifications and increased physical activity to allevi-ate symptoms,yet there is a notable lack of targeted pharmacological interventions.Members of the micro RNA-29(miR-29)family(miR-29a,miR-29b,miR-29c)are known to play a critical regulatory role in lipid metabolism within hepatocytes;however,the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated.This study aims to identify the target genes and associated signaling pathways of the miR-29 family,thereby providing potential therapeutic targets for the development of NAFLD treatments.Firstly,the human liver cell line HepG2 was utilized as a model for adipogenic induction,and miR-29a/b/c-3p mimics were indi-vidually transfected.Through methods such as Oil Red O staining and triglyceride(TG)quantification,it was observed that the miR-29 family members significantly inhibited lipid accumulation in hepatocytes(P＜0.05).Subsequently,qRT-PCR and Western blot were utilized to detect the expression levels of ad-ipogenic marker genes(fatty acid synthase(FAS),acetyl coa carboxylase(ACACA),stearoyl-coen-zyme a desaturase 1(Scd 1))and autophagy marker genes(sequestosome 1(SQSTM1,also known as p62),autophagy related gene 5(Atg5)),and the results indicated that the members of the miR-29 fam-ily could significantly suppress the expression of FAS,ACACA,Scd1,and p62 genes in hepatocytes,while significantly enhancing the level of the Atg5 gene.Further investigations using signaling pathway activity analysis and dual luciferase reporter assays confirmed that the miR-29a/b/c could suppress the mTOR signaling pathway activity and directly interact with the ten-eleven translocation 2(TET2)gene.Finally,co-transfection experiments were performed to examine the potential synergistic effects among the miR-29-3p family members,and the results demonstrated that co-transfection of miR-29 family members more effectively inhibited lipid droplet accumulation in HepG2 cells and further suppressed the expression of the target gene TET2 compared to individual transfection.In summary,the miR-29 family members may reduce lipid accumulation in hepatocytes by inhibiting the mTOR signaling pathway via the TET2 gene,and they exhibit a positive synergistic effect.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the mRNA expression levels of colony stimulating factor 2 receptor subunit beta CSF2RB and granase A(GZMA)in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)of patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)and ventricular remodeling after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 161 AMI patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from February 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the study objects,and were further divided into non-remodeling group(n=105)and remodeling group(n=56)according to whether ventricular remodeling was possible.A total of 85 patients with coronary heart disease who did not have myocardial infarction were taken as control group.The clinical data of patients were collected,and the expression levels of CSF2RB and GZMA mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Cardiac structural parameters were detected by echocardiography,and the relationship between CSF2RB and GZMA mRNA levels and cardiac structural parameters was analyzed by Pearson correlation.The influencing factors of ventricular remodeling in AMI patients were analyzed by univariate and Logistic regression,and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results The mRNA expression of CSF2RB(1.15±0.28 vs 1.80±0.37),GZMA(0.85±0.16 vs 1.15±0.26),Cys C and Hcy levels were compared between the two groups,and the differences were statistically significant(t=-39.002～-4.854,all P<0.05).The follow-up was up to August 2024.Among 161 AMI patients who underwent PCI,56 cases had ventricular remodeling.The expression level of CSF2RB mRNA(1.85±0.31),GZMA mRNA(1.27±0.29)in the reconstructed group were significantly higher than that in the non-reconstructed group(1.71±0.34,1.12±0.30),and the differences were statistically significant(t=2.564,3.057,all P<0.001).LAD,LVEDD,LVPWTd and IVST in the postoperative reconstruction group were higher than those in the non-reconstruction group(t=11.247～26.008),and LVEF was lower than that in the reconstruction group(t=-15.271),with statistical significance(all P<0.001).The level of CSF2RB and GZMA in AMI patients was positively correlated with LAD,LVEDD,LVPWTd and IVST(rCSF2RB mRNA=0.657～0.754,rGZMA mRNA=0.512～0.745),and negatively correlated with LVEF(r=-0.684,-0.754),with statistical significance(all P<0.05).There was a statistically significant differences in the levels of Cys C and Hcy between the reconstructed group and non-reconstructed group after the use of aldehyed steroid receptor antagonsts(t=5.495,20.710,30.906,all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that CSF2RBmRNA＞1.79,GZMAmRNA＞1.18,Hcy＞20.15μmol/L and no use of aldosterol receptorantagonists were independent risk factors for ventricular remodeling in AMI patients.LVEF＞58.11%was an independent protective factor for ventricular remodeling in AMI patients(Wald χ2=1.137～3.206,P<0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of CSF2RB and GZMA in PBMC of AMI patients were significantly increased.CSF2RB and GZMA are independent risk factors for postoperative ventricular remodeling in patients with AMI,and can be used as potential diagnostic markers for ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction.
