Objective:To investigate the serum sodium level and its fluctuation in patients with hospitalized acquired acute kidney injury (AKI) and explore their impacts on in-hospital mortality.Methods:It was a single-center retrospective study. The adult patients developing hospital-acquired AKI and receiving at least twice serum sodium tests admitted to Peking University First Hospital from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020 were included. Dysnatremia included hyponatremia (< 135 mmol/L) and hypernatremia (>145 mmol/L). The patients were divided into hyponatremia group, normal serum sodium group and hypernatremia group, and the differences of clinical data among the three groups were compared. The fluctuation of serum sodium level was evaluated by coefficient of variation. A restricted cubic spline was applied to investigate the association between serum sodium level at AKI onset and mortality. Poisson regression analysis was used to explore the mortality risk of dysnatremia at AKI onset, dysnatremia at admission, and coefficient of variation of serum sodium, respectively.Results:Among the enrolled 1 475 AKI patients, the age was 66.0 (55.0, 78.0) years, and 850 patients (57.6%) were males. The estimated glomerular filtration rate was 77.3 (50.4, 97.6) ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1. The time from admission to AKI onset was 8 (4, 15) days. The incidence of hyponatremia and hypernatremia at admission were 19.6% (289/1 475) and 2.6% (39/1 475), respectively, while the incidence at AKI onset was 24.0% (354/1 475) and 12.7% (188/1 475), respectively. There was statistically significant difference in terms of age, the initial classification distribution of AKI, serum sodium at admission, serum sodium at the occurrence of AKI, the lowest serum sodium at hospitalization, the highest serum sodium at hospitalization, the coefficient of variation of serum sodium, and the proportions of heart failure, stroke, disseminated intravascular coagulation, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, shock, prerenal causes, circle diuretics and aldosterone antagonists among hyponatremia group, normal serum sodium group and hypernatremia group (all P<0.05). The restricted cubic spline analysis showed a "U"-shaped correlation between serum sodium level at AKI onset and in-hospital mortality. Poisson regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, number of chronic comorbidities, initial classification of AKI, basal estimated glomerular filtration rate and number of acute disease state, with normal serum sodium as the reference, hyponatremia ( RR=1.56, 95% CI 1.14-2.13) and hypernatremia ( RR=1.71, 95% CI 1.23-2.39) at AKI onset were correlated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality. Hyponatremia at admission was correlated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality ( RR=2.13, 95% CI 1.62-2.79), while there was no statistically significant association between hypernatremia and in-hospital mortality ( RR=1.22, 95% CI 0.62-2.44). After further adjusting serum sodium levels at admission and at the occurrence of AKI, the coefficient of variation of serum sodium level was still correlated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality ( RR=1.23, 95% CI 1.14-1.33). Conclusions:Dysnatremia is common in patients with hospital-acquired AKI. The serum sodium level at AKI onset is correlated with in-hospital death in a "U" shape. Dysnatremia and serum sodium fluctuation are associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of 5 children with developmental epileptic encephalopathy type 17 (DEE17) caused by GNAO1 gene variants confirmed by whole-exome sequencing and analyze the features of their genetic variants. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 5 children diagnosed with GNAO1-related DEE17 in the Department of Neurology, Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from January 2019 to October 2024. Their clinical features, genetic testing results, neuroimaging findings, electroencephalogram (EEG) results, and treatment regimens were summarized. Follow-up was performed via telephone or outpatient visits. Results:Among the 5 diagnosed children (3 males, 2 females), the age of onset ranged from 2 days to 2 years, and the age at diagnosis ranged from 2 days to 6 years. Four children presented with seizures in the neonatal or infantile period, manifesting as hypotonia, developmental delay, and seizure types including generalized tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and epileptic spasms. One child had a later onset at 2 years, presenting with language delay, intellectual disability, and involuntary movements, followed by seizures at 6 years, including focal and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Genetic testing revealed de novo heterozygous missense variants in GNAO1 in all 5 cases: c.119G>C (p.G40A), c.808A>C (p.N270H), c.808A>G (p.N270D), c.118G>C (p.G40R), and c.17G>T (p.S6I). Among these variants, c.119G>C and c.17G>T were previously unreported pathogenic variants. Neuroimaging showed nonspecific changes in 3 children (widened frontal-temporal subarachnoid space, delayed myelination) and abnormal white matter signals in 2 cases. Long-term video-EEG revealed abnormal discharges and background slowing in all cases: multifocal discharges in 4 cases and focal epileptiform discharges (left mid-temporal) in 1 case. Clinical seizures were captured in 3 cases: 1 with a burst-suppression pattern and 2 with hypsarrhythmia. All patients received 3 or more antiseizure medications. Four cases (cases 1-4) responded well to topiramate combination therapy, with 2 cases (cases 1, 2) achieving complete seizure freedom and 2 cases (cases 3, 4) experiencing more than a 50% reduction in seizures. One child (case 3) achieved seizure control with an adjunctive ketogenic diet. The late-onset case (case 5) required a combination of levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, and valproate for seizure management. Conclusions:GNAO1 variants can lead to DEE17 with diverse seizure types, often requiring multiple antiseizure medications, among which topiramate is effective. Early-onset cases typically present with seizures and developmental delay, while late-onset cases may exhibit language delay, intellectual disability, movement disorders, and refractory epilepsy. Genetic testing should be performed early for timely diagnosis.

Since the implementation of the Measures for the Management of Radiation Workers’ Occupational Health in November 2007, it has played an extremely important role in protecting the occupational health of radiation workers. There are more than 700 000 radiation workers in about 100 000 workplaces with potential radiation exposure, as well as a large number of miners exposed to high levels of radon. As the radiation health monitoring project suggests, measures of occupational health management such as personal dose monitoring and occupational health examination of radiation workers have been widely implemented and achieved good results in the protection of radiation workers. However, the risks of chromosomal aberration and specific turbidity of the eye lens of radiation workers have increased in high-risk positions such as interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, and industrial flaw detection. The control of high radon exposure in miners needs to be strengthened. It is necessary to adapt to the new situation in view of new challenges and actively promote the revision of the Measures for the Management of Radiation Workers’ Occupational Health, so as to further improve the occupational health management of radiation workers in China.
