Objective:
To explore the early effects of birth weight at different gestational ages on blood pressure trajectory among primary school students, so as to provide evidence for incorporating gestational age birth weight into individualized early warning and intervention strategies for childhood hypertension.
Methods:
From May to November 2023, a purposeful sampling method was used to recruit 1 676 students in grade 1-3 from three primary schools in a certain urban district of Chongqing. Follow up assessments were conducted in May 2024(T1), November 2024(T2), and May 2025(T3). General demographic and birth related information were collected via self administered questionnaires, while height, weight and blood pressure were obtained through physical examinations. Linear mixed effects model was used to analyze the associations between birth weight at different gestational ages and blood pressure trajectories.
Results:
During the T1-T3 period, the systolic blood pressure of boys were 98.5 (93.0, 104.5 ),98.5 (93.5, 105.0), and 97.5 (92.5, 103.5)mmHg, respectively, while the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.5, 65.0), 61.5 ( 57.0 , 65.5), and 60.0 (56.0, 64.0)mmHg, respectively. For girls, the systolic blood pressure were 95.5 (90.0, 102.0),95.5 (90.5, 101.5), and 96.0 (90.5, 101.5)mmHg, respectively, and the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.0, 64.5 ),61.5 (57.5, 65.5), and 59.5 (56.0, 63.0)mmHg, respectively. Through Friedman test within both boys and girls, diostolic blood pressure were statistically significant across three measurements( χ 2=48.85,81.54,both P <0.01). The proportion of normal blood pressure increased , and the proportion of prehypertension and hypertension decreased with time( χ 2=39.72,25.62,both P < 0.01 ). Linear mixed effects model analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, sex, household income monthly, parental education, family history of hypertension and maternal pregnancy complications, large for gestational age had significantly higher trajectories of systolic ( β = 1.50) and diastolic( β =0.94) blood pressure compared to appropriate for gestational age(both P <0.01).
Conclusion
Large for gestational age is associated with elevated blood pressure trajectories during school age, and it may be considered as an early indicator for individualized screening and intervention for childhood hypertension.

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic progressive autoimmune liver disease that is often comorbid with other connective tissue diseases (CTDs), and such comorbidity can significantly alter the natural course or clinical phenotype of PBC or CTDs, limiting available therapeutic drugs and complicating clinical decision-making. Due to the involvement of the interdisciplinary subjects of hepatology, rheumatology, and clinical immunology and a paucity of large-scale cohort data and in-depth basic research, there is a limited understanding of such comorbidity in clinical practice, which increases the complexity of clinical diagnosis and treatment. This article summarizes the comorbidity of PBC with common CTDs such as Sjögren’s syndrome, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, and analyzes related immune mechanisms, clinical manifestations, diagnostic challenges, treatment strategies, and prognosis. It is expected to establish PBC-CTD comorbidity cohorts through future multidisciplinary collaborations, focus on genetic background, immune mechanisms, and multi-omics approaches, elucidate pathogenesis and novel therapeutic targets, and improve the prognosis of patients by optimizing treatment strategies through precision medicine and artificial intelligence.

Over the past few decades, tumor immunotherapy has revolutionized the landscape of cancer clinical treatment. There is a flourishing development of combination strategies to improve the anti-tumor efficacy of mono-immunotherapy. However, instead of a straightforward combination of multiple therapeutics, it is more preferable to pursue a synergistic effect by designing rational combinations as well as administration strategies, which are based on a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and pathological features. In this case, the timing and spatial distribution of the combination drugs become essential factors in achieving improved therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, the concept of Sequential Drug Delivery System (SDDS) is proposed to define the spatiotemporally programmed drug delivery/release through triggers of internal conditions and/or external interventions, thus complying with the dynamic disease evolution and the human immunity. This review summarizes the recent advancements in biomaterial-based SDDSs used for spatiotemporally-tuned combination tumor immunotherapy. Furthermore, the rationales behind various engineering strategies are discussed. Finally, an overview of potential synergistic mechanisms as well as their prospects for combination immunotherapy is presented.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade in the management of optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M).Methods:A retrospective case analysis. From 2002 to 2021, 16 patients (16 eyes) diagnosed with ODP-M at Department of Ophthalmology of Peking University Third Hospital and Eye Center of Peking University People's Hospital were included in the study. All affected eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, color fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations. BCVA assessment was conducted using a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, and during statistics, it was converted to the logarithmic minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity. According to the treatment methods, the affected eyes were divided into the laser treatment group and the surgical treatment group, with 2 and 14 eyes respectively. The affected eyes in the laser treatment group were only given simple laser photocoagulation treatment. All the affected eyes in the surgical treatment group underwent PPV combined with internal limiting membrane peeling and vitreous cavity filling with 16% SF 6. Among them, autologous platelet concentrate (APC) was simultaneously used in 5 eyes. The follow-up period after the operation was 13.5 (3-138) months. The differences in the absorption of subretinal fluid (SRF) and the improvement of BCVA in the macular area between the two groups of affected eyes were compared and observed. The absorption of SRF in the macular area measured by OCT was used as the criterion for judging the effectiveness of treatment. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between the two groups. Results:In the surgical treatment group, SRF in the macular area was completely absorbed in 14 eyes, and the complete absorption time was 7.0 (2-23) months. In the laser treatment group, SRF was not absorbed in both eyes. The logMAR BCVA of the surgical treatment group before and after the operation was 0.7 (0.3-2.0) and 0.4 (0.1-1.3), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=2.809, P=0.005). The logMAR BCVA before and after the operation of the eyes with combined APC filling and those without combined APC filling were 0.6 (0.3-1.0) and 0.5 (0.1-0.7), as well as 0.7 (0.3-2.0) and 0.4 (0.2-1.3), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in logMAR BCVA between the two after surgery ( Z=0.609, P=0.543). Conclusions:PPV combined with internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade can effectively promote the absorption of SRF in the macular area of eyes with ODP-M, achieve anatomical macular restoration, and improve BCVA. Combined APC filling
