Objective To investigate the effect of diet and lifestyle on cardiovascular comorbidity in elderly diabetic patients in community. Methods A total of 437 elderly patients with diabetes mellitus in a community of Huai'an City were divided into comorbidity group and non-comorbidity group according to the presence or absence of cardiovascular comorbidity. Dietary and lifestyle data were collected by self-designed questionnaires. The differences between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of comorbidity of diabetes mellitus with cardiovascular disease. Results Among the surveyed patients, 184 (42.11%) had at least one comorbidity of cardiovascular disease, with the most common diseases being hypertension in 93 patients (21.28%), coronary heart disease in 71 patients (16.25%), and stroke in 42 patients (9.61%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that: the risk of comorbidity in the male group was 1.528 times higher than that in the female group; the risk of comorbidity among individuals with inadequate carbohydrate intake was 1.520 times higher than that of individuals with adequate carbohydrate intake; the risk of comorbidity in the group with smoking history > 30 years was 1.299 times higher than that in the group ≤ 30 years; the risk of comorbidity was 49.80% lower in the group with tea preference than that in the group without tea preference; and the risk of comorbidity in the group not meeting the standard for exercise was 1.492 times higher than that in the group meeting the standard for exercise. All these differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The comorbidity of cardiovascular disease in elderly diabetic patients in community should not be ignored, and targeted dietary and lifestyle interventions are helpful for the prevention and control of comorbidity.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of alcohol poisoning cases among minors receiving pre hospital 120 emergency services in Zhengzhou, providing evidence for regional management strategies of alcohol poisoning among minors. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 1 630 alcohol poisoning cases (aged 0-18 years) from Zhengzhou s 120 emergency system during 2017-2019 and 2023. Data on gender, age, occurrence timeframes were analyzed using t-test and χ 2 test for intergroup comparisons. Results: Annual cases were 291 (2017), 353 (2018), 483 (2019), and 503 (2023). Compared with 2017, male alcohol poisoning cases increased by 66.94% while female cases surged 104.35% by 2023. The peak incidence of alcohol poisoning among minors occurred among 16-18 year olds (85.40%), followed by 13-15 year olds (13.74%). Most cases clustered between 21:01-03:00 (60.43%), with male cases peaking at 22:01-23:00 (12.73%) and female cases peaking at 02:01-03:00 ( 11.25 %). Between 00:01-03:00, male cases progressively decreased while female cases increased. Severity distribution showed 355 mild cases (21.78%), 1 035 moderate cases (63.50%), and 240 severe cases (14.72%). Conclusions Zhengzhou region has experienced sustained growth in underage alcohol poisoning cases, predominantly occurring from evening to early morning with moderate severity, female cases demonstrate faster growth rates. Multifaceted regulatory measures should be implemented to strengthen supervision of underage drinking behaviors.

Jansen-de Vries syndrome, also known as intellectual developmental disorder with gastrointestinal difficulties and high pain threshold, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multisystem involvement. This article reports the case of a young child who presented with global developmental delay, gastrointestinal dysfunction, intellectual disability, and short stature. Distinct facial features included a broad forehead, low nasal bridge, thin upper lip, and widely spaced and misaligned teeth. Additional phenotypic findings involved small hands and feet, as well as digital anomalies. Through whole-exome sequencing (WES) and copy number variation (CNV) analysis, a pathogenic variant was identified in the PPM1D gene: c.1281G > A (p.Trp427Ter). This report also reviews the current literature on the clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic advances related to this condition, aiming to provide valuable insights for its clinical diagnosis and management.

Objective To study the clinical and CT findings of bronchiolar adenoma. Methods Patients diagnosed with bronchiolar adenoma confirmed by surgical pathology at Linyi People's Hospital and Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital from 2016 to 2021 were collected. Their clinical and CT imaging features were retrospectively analyzed. Results Finally, 25 patients were collected, including 6 males and 19 females, aged 32-73 (58.6±10.1) years. The immunohistochemical Ki-67 (MIB1) of all lesions was <5%. The lesions were located in the upper and middle lobe of both lungs in 9 patients, lower lobes in 16 patients, extrapulmonary zone in 22 patients, intrapulmonary middle zone in 3 patients, round in 11 patients, irregular in 14 patients, well-defined in 22 patients, pure ground-glass/mixed ground-glass nodules in 6 patients, solid nodules in 19 patients. There were 11 patients with central small cavity, 18 patients with single bronchioles sign, 19 patients without adhesion with adjacent pleura, and 24 patients without mediastinal lymph node enlargement. Conclusion Bronchiolar adenomas usually occur in the middle-aged and elderly, mostly in the lower lobe of both lungs and the distribution of the peripheral lung field, most of the patients do not have any clinical symptoms, and the postoperative prognosis is good. CT may show large nodules or masses, pure ground-glass/mixed ground-glass nodules, irregular solid nodules and central small cavities. Irregular stellate nodules, central small cavity shadow, and single bronchiolar vascular bundle connected with the lesions are relatively specific imaging findings of bronchiolar adenoma.

Objective To explore the effect of blood pressure variability (BPV) on the progression and prognosis of carotid artery stenosis in elderly patients with cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 98 elderly patients with cerebral infarction admitted from May 2019 to May 2022 were selected as the observation group, and 100 healthy people with physical examination during the same period were enrolled as the control group. According to the degree of carotid artery stenosis, the elderly patients with cerebral infarction were divided into four groups. The blood pressure variability parameters in each group were compared, and the relationship between BPV and the degree of carotid artery stenosis was analyzed. The risk factors of vascular events were analyzed and the predictive efficiency of BPV on vascular events was evaluated. Results The BPV parameter values in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), while the nocturnal decline rate of blood pressure was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The higher the degree of carotid artery stenosis, the higher the BPV parameter value and the lower the nocturnal decline rate of blood pressure (P<0.05). The proportion of total non-dipper type in the severe stenosis group was higher than that in the moderate stenosis group, mild stenosis group and non-stenosis group (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the BPV parameter values were positively correlated with the degree of carotid artery stenosis, and the nocturnal decline rate of blood pressure was negatively correlated with the degree of carotid artery stenosis (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the increases of BPV parameter values were all risk factors for vascular events in elderly patients with cerebral infarction (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that among the BPV parameters, dSSD had the highest efficiency in predicting the occurrence of vascular events in elderly patients with cerebral infarction. Conclusion BPV significantly affects the progression and prognosis of carotid artery stenosis in elderly patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective To explore the characteristics of blood lipid metabolism indicators and risk factors of prognosis in children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods A total of 54 children who were diagnosed with SLE and hospitalized in Chengdu Women and Children’ s Central Hospital from January 2013 to August 2022 were selected. Clinical data of all children were collected and blood lipid metabolism indicators and biochemical indicators were detected , and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the prognosis risk factors in children with SLE. Results Among the 47 cases (87.04%) had abnormal blood lipid metabolism at admission, and is mainly manifested as elevated levels of LDL-C, TG and TC and decreased level of HDL-C. The proportion of cardiovascular system damage, hematological system damage, urinary protein positivity, and SLEDAI-2000 score in the group with good prognosis were lower than those in the group with poor prognosis, while the proportion of dsDNA positivity was higher in the group with poor prognosis. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the cardiovascular system damage and positive urinary protein were risk factors for poor prognosis, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Abnormal blood lipid metabolism is common in children with SLE, and cardiovascular system damage and positive urinary protein may increase the risk of poor prognosis in young children.

Objective: To determine the inhibitory effects of pachymic acid on lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells and elucidate its underlying mechanism. Methods: CCK-8, wound healing, Transwell, Western blot, tube formation, and immunofluorescence assays were carried out to measure the effects of various concentrations of pachymic acid on LUAD cell proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis as well as autophagy. Subsequently, molecular docking technology was used to detect the potential targeted binding association between pachymic acid and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). Moreover, PTP1B was overexpressed in A549 cells to detect the specific mechanisms of pachymic acid. Results: Pachymic acid suppressed LUAD cell viability, metastasis as well as angiogenesis while inducing cell autophagy. It also targeted PTP1B and lowered PTP1B expression. However, PTP1B overexpression reversed the effects of pachymic acid on metastasis, angiogenesis, and autophagy as well as the expression of Wnt3a and β-catenin in LUAD cells. Conclusions: Pachymic acid inhibits metastasis and angiogenesis, and promotes autophagy in LUAD cells by modulating the Wnt/ β-catenin signaling pathway via targeting PTP1B.

【Objective】 To explore the correlation of serum vitamin D level of children aged 0 to 3 years with their caregivers′ nutritional knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) in Yibin, in order to provide reference for the prevention of vitamin D deficiency in children. 【Methods】 A total of 783 children aged 0 to 3 years who underwent child health care at the First People′s Hospital of Yibin from January to December 2020 were selected into this study. Children′s general conditions (feeding, growth and development, lifestyle, etc.) were collected, and venous blood samples were taken to detect serum 25-(OH)D concentration using the chemiluminescence method. The caregivers′ nutritional KAP was investigated using a self-designed knowledge-attitude-practice questionnaire. The relationship between the children′s vitamin D nutritional status and their caregivers′ nutritional KAP was analyzed using pearson correlation analysis. 【Results】 1) The exclusive breastfeeding rate of children aged 0 to 3 years was about 62.2%. Significant differences were found in outdoor activity time and average vitamin D supplementation among different age groups (t=9.030, 10.260, P<0.05). 2) The average concentration of serum 25-(OH)D was (36.8±8.7)ng/mL, and the incidence of vitamin D deficiency was 21.84%. Significant differences were found in serum 25-(OH)D level and the incidence of vitamin D deficiency among children of different ages, body shapes, outdoor activities, and vitamin D supplementation (t/F: 2.220 - 6.302, χ²: 5.346 - 33.134, P<0.05). 3) The caregivers′ nutritional KAP scores were 78.9±9.9, 88.1±8.3, and 78.3±11.8, respectively, with parents scoring higher than other caregivers (P<0.05). 4) Serum 25-(OH)D level was positively correlated with the nutritional knowledge, attitude, and behavior scores of caregivers (r=0.805, 0.650, 0.831, P<0.05). The caregivers′ nutritional KAP grade was correlated with vitamin D deficiency (P<0.05). 5) Overweight/obesity was a possible risk factor for vitamin D deficiency in children (OR=2.126, 95%CI: 1.162 - 3.887). Outdoor activity duration ≥2h/d (OR=0.592, 95%CI: 0.392 - 0.895), regular vitamin D supplementation (OR=0.618, 95%CI: 0.456 - 0.838), and good nutritional behavior of caregivers(OR=0.725, 95%CI: 0.563 - 0.933) were protective factors for vitamin D deficiency in children (P<0.05). 【Conclusions】 The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is high among children aged 0 to 3 years in Yibin, and it is related to the nutritional KAP of their caregivers. Improving the nutritional KAP of caregivers can help prevent and manage vitamin D deficiency in children.

【Objective】 To analyze the genetic variation characteristics and clinical phenotypes of a family with primary microcephaly (MCPH) caused by RTTN gene variation, and to provide reference for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis. 【Methods】 Clinical data of the three patients (including 2 fetuses and 2-year-old proband,and one fetus with clinical diagnosis) and their parents were collected and analyzed. Two of the children and their parents were tested by trio whole exome sequencing (trio-WES), sanger sequencing validation sites, and the hazard of their compound heterozygous variants was predicted. Literature review was conducted through domestic and international databases to collect reported RTTN gene mutation cases. 【Results】 Three patients in this family had anomalies of the septum pellucidum, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum and other brain malformations during fetal period. The proband (G2) and fetus (G3) showed intrauterine growth retardation and MCPH in late pregnancy; besides, G2 was born with global developmental delay. Trio-WES detected a c.2101(exon16)C>T(p.Arg701Ter,1526) nonsense and a c.2863(exon22)G>A(p.Glu955Lys)missense in the RTTN gene of G2 and G3, which were inherited from their father and mother, forming a compound heterozygous variant. According to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) variant classification guidelines, two variants were likely to be pathogenic (LP) and uncertain significance (VUS). Among them, c.2863(exon22)G>A was a newly discovered missense, which was predicted by the software to be harmful to the gene product. 【Conclusions】 Complex heterozygous variations of RTTN gene (c.2101C>T and c.2863G>A) are the genetic cause of MCPH in this family. This report has enriched the variation spectrum of RTTN gene, provided guidance for prenatal diagnosis and reproduction of this family, as well as material and reference for further understanding of the diseases caused by this gene mutation.

Objective To investigate the expression of serum soluble myeloid cell trigger receptor 1(sTREM-1), interleukin-21(IL-21), 25 (OH) vitamin D[25(OH)D]in children with inflammatory bowel disease and their relations. Methods A total of 107 children with inflammatory bowel disease were selected as research objects and included in observation group. At the same time, 53 healthy people were selected as control group. The patients in the observation group were divided into active stage group (n=54) and remission stage group (n=53) according to disease activity. The expression of sTREM-1, IL-21, 25(OH)D were compared between the observation group and the control group and between active stage group and remission stage group. Kendall's tau-b method was used to analyze the correlations of sTREM-1, IL-21 and 25(OH)D with inflammatory bowel disease activity. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve model was used to analyze the area under the curve (AUC) value, sensitivity and specificity of sTREM-1, IL-21 and 25(OH)D in the diagnosis and prediction of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Results The serum levels of sTREM-1 and IL-21 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, but level was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The serum levels of sTREM-1 and IL-21 levels in the active stage group were higher than those in the remission stage group, but 25(OH)D level was lower than that in the remission stage group (P < 0.05). Kendall′s tau-b correlation analysis showed that sTREM-1 and IL-21 were positively correlated with inflammatory bowel disease activity (r=0.460, 0.484; P < 0.05). 25(OH)D was negatively correlated with inflammatory bowel disease activity (r=-0.434, P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC values of sTREM-1, IL-21, 25(OH)Dand their combination in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease were 0.791, 0.852, 0.808, 0.862, respectively(P < 0.05), and the sensitivities were 74.80%, 81.30%, 75.50% and 81.30%, respectively. The specificities were 75.50%, 75.50%, 81.30% and 79.20%, respectively. The AUC values of sTREM-1, IL-21, 25(OH)D and their combination in predicting the active phase of inflammatory bowel disease were 0.821, 0.840, 0.799, 0.840, respectively (P < 0.05), the sensitivities were 79.60%, 75.90%, 77.40% and 87.00%, respectively, and the specificities were 79.20%, 75.50%, 83.30% and 79.20%, respectively. Conclusion Serum levels of sTREM-1, IL-21, 25(OH)D are closely related to the occurrence and development of inflammatory bowel disease. Dynamic monitoring of their levels is helpful to provide an important reference for clinical diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease and evaluation of disease progression in children.
