Objective: To analyze the effects of maternal gestational weight gain and pre pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on the weight of preschool children,so as to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity in children. Methods: Based on Jiangmen maternal and child health information platform, annual physical examination data of 3-6 years old preschool children from all nurseries and kindergartens in Jiangmen were collected from January to December 2024. A unique identification was made according to the mother s ID number and delivery date, and retrospective data collection was conducted on the platform to obtain pre pregnancy and pregnancy related information for 46 481 mothers. The Chi-square test,two way ordered variable analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used to compare the effects of maternal pre pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain on overweight and obesity among preschool children. Results: A total of 5 168 (11.12%) children were overweight and obese, and the proportion of overweight and obesity in the 6 year old group was the highest (12.86%). There were significant differences in the detection rates of overweight and obesity between boys and girls ( χ 2=155.38), and there were also significant gender differences in the age groups of 4, 5 and 6 years ( χ 2=17.08, 96.97, 66.27)(all P <0.01). Through trend χ 2 test, the overall detection rates of overweight and obesity, as well as those for boys, increased with age ( χ 2 trend =49.36,60.54, both P <0.01). The BMI group of preschool children was correlated with the BMI group of their mothers before pregnancy and the weight gain group during pregnancy （χ 2= 1 250.64, 157.01, both P <0.01) and the proportion of children with higher BMI levels showed an upward trend with the improvement of their mothers pre-pregnancy BMI levels or gestational weight gain levels ( Gamma =0.13, 0.10, both P <0.01). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that pre pregnancy BMI groups as overweight ( OR =1.590, 1.922), obesity ( OR =2.100, 2.921 ), and male gender of the children ( OR =1.213, 1.763)，and newborns excessive birth weight( OR =1.001，1.001) increased the risks of overweight and obesity in preschool children; maternal gestational weight gain insufficiency ( OR =1.374) and advanced maternal age at the first prenatal visit ( OR =1.012) increased the risks of obesity in preschool children; maternal gestational weight gain deficiency or excess ( OR =1.324,1.118) increased the risk of overweight in preschool children (all P <0.01). Conclusions Maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity and insufficient or excessive gestational weight gain increase the risk of overweight and obesity in preschool children. It is necessary to strengthen weight management before and during pregnancy to reduce the occurrence of childhood overweight and obesity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) combined with percutaneous transhepatic papillary balloon dilatation (PTPBD) in the treatment of choledocholithiasis.Methods:The clinical data of patients treated with PTCD combined with PTPBD under digital subtraction angiography for choledocholithiasis in the Interventional Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from June 2021 to May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, and a total of 90 patients were enrolled, including 58 males and 32 females, aged (56.6±4.3) years. The changes of liver function, postoperative complications, and prognosis were analyzed.Results:Of 90 patients were successfully treated with PTCD, and 3 patients (3.3%) died after PTCD operation, mainly due to old age combined with a variety of underlying diseases. 85(97.7%) of the remaining 87 patients were successfully treated with PTPBD, while 2 cases (2.3%) experienced technical failure due to excessive stone size (>20 mm). Among the 90 cases after the procedure, there were 6 cases (6.7%) of abdominal pain, 3 cases (3.3%) of bleeding, 4 cases (4.4%) of fever, and no serious complications such as bile duct perforation, intestinal perforation or pancreatitis occurred. The symptoms of 87 patients were improved within 3 to 7 days after PTCD. The changes of leukocyte, total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase and C reactive protein before and after surgery were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Conclusions:PTCD combined with PTPBD is a minimally invasive treatment for common bile duct stones with obvious advantages in high success rate, safety, and effectiveness, which is especially suitable for elderly patients with multiple underlying diseases, inability to tolerate surgical procedures, or no suitable endoscopic pathways.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of obtaining three-dimensional (3D) models of intraosseous and periosteal arteries of hallux phalanx using micro-arteriography with micro-CT scan.Methods:From January 2022 to April 2025, the Department of Orthopaedic, the 988th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese PLA conducted a study on 7 fresh-frozen specimens of distal lower limb (right lower limb) from an 85-year-old male, and both lower limbs from an 82-year-old male, a 78-year-old female and a 66-year-old male in the Department of Human Anatomy & Histology and Embryology, Peking University School of Basic Medical Sciences. Red lead oxide powder (Pb 3O 4) was ground and filtered through a 300 mesh, and then mixed with turpentine at ratios of 1 g ∶ 1.5 ml, 1 g ∶ 1.0 ml, and 1 g ∶ 0.5 ml to prepare lead-based contrast agent suspensions. After thawing the specimens at room temperature, the suspensions were injected via the popliteal artery in ascending order of concentration. After injections, the specimens were fixed in 10% methanal for 2 weeks. The proximal and distal phalanges of the hallux, with the surrounding periosteum preserved intact, were then harvested. The harvested specimens were scanned using micro-CT at an ultimate resolution of 12 μm. Subsequently, Mimics Medical software was used to reconstruct 3D models of the intraosseous and periosteal arteries within the phalanges. Results:Periosteal arteries in the proximal phalanx were primarily distributed near the joint region. A consistently large trunk artery entered from plantar side, supplying most of the diaphysis and head. There was a rich periosteal arterial network on both sides of the distal phalanx, which communicates with each other through the arterial arch in the bone groove. However, trunk intraosseous artery could be absent. Intraosseous arteries in the proximal ends of both the proximal and distal phalanges originated from periosteal arteries. These formed an interconnected arteriosomes and coursed parallel to the articular surfaces.Conclusion:The micro-arteriography acquired by micro-CT scan effectively visualizes intraosseous and periosteal arteries and enables the reconstruction and analysis of 3D models of the arteriosomes. The characteristics of arteriolar distribution provide a theoretical basis for osteotomy or internal fixation procedures involving a hallux phalanx.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of continuous venetoclax combined azacitidine (VA) chemotherapy and intermedium/high-dose cytarabine (I/HDAC) consolidation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) fit for standard chemotherapy (transform from UNFIT) .Methods:Clinical data of patients who were fit for standard chemotherapy were collected among those with AML who underwent VA induction in the Department of Hematology, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. The overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), event-free survival (EFS), and incidence of adverse events were analyzed retrospectively.Results:This study enrolled 69 patients, consisting of 46 cases in the VA group and 23 cases in the I/HDAC group. We revealed the following. ① The median OS, RFS, EFS were 26.18, 24.69, 20.34 months in the VA group, and 34.14, 30.99, 28.42 months in the I/HDAC group, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (all P>0.05). Median OS of patients who underwent I/HDAC consolidation with European Leukemia Net (ELN) favorable-risk, positive measurable residual disease (MRD), wild type FLT3, or IDH1/2 mutation was significantly longer than those who received VA ( P<0.05). ②Adverse events rate of grade 3 - 4 neutropenia, grade 3 - 4 thrombocytopenia, and bacteremia were significantly lower in the VA group than in the I/HDAC group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:I/HDAC consolidation was more likely to help get survival benefits for patients with ELN favorable-risk, positive MRD, wild type FLT3, or IDH1/2 mutation. Continuous VA chemotherapy exhibited superior safety than I/HDAC consolidation.

Objective To analyze the effect of percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage(PTCD)combined with percutaneous transhepatic papillary balloon dilation(PTPBD)in the treatment of common bile duct stone in elderly patients.Methods The clinical data of elderly patients treated with PTCD combined with PTPBD under digital subtraction angiography(DSA)for common bile duct stone were retrospectively collected,the changes in liver function,postoperative complications,and prognosis were analyzed.Results All 70 patients were successfully treated with PTCD,and other 3 patients died after PTCD operation,mainly due to severe infection combined with a variety of underlying diseases.Among the remaining 67 patients,65 cases(97.00%)were successfully treated with PTPBD,while other 2 cases(3.00%)experienced technical failure due to excessive stone size(>20 mm).Among the 70 cases after the pro-cedure,there were 5 cases with abdominal pain,2 cases with bleeding,4 cases with fever,and no serious complications occurred,such as bile duct perforation,intestinal perforation,or pancreatitis.The symptoms of 67 patients were improved from 3 to 7 days after PTCD,and the changes in leukocyte,total bilirubin,alanine aminotransferase and C-reactive protein before and after surgery were sta-tistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion PTCD combined with PTPBD is a minimally invasive treatment method for common bile duct stone with a high success rate,safety,and effectiveness,which is especially suitable for elderly patients with multiple under-lying diseases,an inability to tolerate surgical and endoscopic treatments.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To analyse the clinical effect of percutaneous transhepatic papillary balloon dilatation (PTPBD) combined with lithotriptic basket in the treatment of large-diameter common bile duct stone (CBDS) after percutaneous transhepatic cholangia drainage (PTCD).Methods:The clinical data of 50 patients treated with PTPBD combined with lithotriptic basket after PTCD under digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for large-diameter CBDS in the Department of Interventional Radiology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from October 2021 to September 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 38 males and 12 females, aged (57.6±3.6) years. Clinical data, including gender, age, long diameter of the stone, and surgery-related complications, were recorded. Changes in leukocyte count, total bilirubin, alanine transaminase and C-reactive protein were compared before PTCD and on the 5th postoperative day.Results:All 50 cases were successfully treated with PTCD. Significant improvements were observed in white blood cell count [(7.35±2.36)×10 9/L vs. (11.34±2.81)×10 9/L], total bilirubin [(27.58±6.24) μmol/L vs. (74.35±12.26) μmol/L], alanine transaminase [(41.25±8.65) U/L vs. (141.41±29.16) U/L] and C-reactive protein [(39.34±13.45) mg/L vs. (81.43±31.35) mg/L] before and after PTCD (all P<0.001). The time interval between PTCD and PTPBD was (14.46±1.01) d. Among the 50 patients, 48 cases (96.0%) were successfully treated with PTPBD combined with a lithotriptic basket, while 2 cases (4.0%) failed due to the basket's inability to retrieve the stones. Among the 50 patients after PTCD, 2 cases (4.0%) of abdominal pain, 2 cases (4.0%) of bleeding, and 2 cases (4.0%) of fever. Following PTPBD with lithotriptic basket stone removal, abdominal pain occurred in 3 patients (6.0%) and fever in 2 (4.0%). Conclusion:PTPBD combined with lithotriptic basket in the second stage after PTCD under DSA is a minimally invasive treatment for large-diameter CBDS with safety and effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential mechanisms of sepsis pathogenesis in intensive care unit (ICU), with a specific focus on the role of skin microbiota, and to evaluate the causal relationships between skin microbiota and ICU sepsis using Mendelian randomization (MR). METHODS: A two-sample MR analysis was performed using skin microbiota genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data from German population cohorts as exposures, combined with ICU sepsis susceptibility and 28-day mortality GWAS summary data from the IEU OpenGWAS database as outcomes. The primary causal effect estimates were generated using the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, supplemented by validation through MR-Egger and weighted median approaches. Heterogeneity and pleiotropy tests, along with sensitivity analyses, were conducted to evaluate the robustness of the results. RESULTS: Regarding risk of ICU sepsis, IVW analysis showed that order Pseudomonadales [odds ratio (OR) = 0.93, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.88-0.98], family Flavobacteriaceae (OR = 0.93, 95%CI was 0.90-0.96), and genus Acinetobacter (OR = 0.96, 95%CI was 0.93-0.99) were significantly negatively correlated with the risk of ICU sepsis (all P < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the risk of ICU sepsis and the presence of β-Proteobacteria (OR = 1.05, 95%CI was 1.00-1.11) and Actinobacteria (OR = 1.05, 95%CI was 1.00-1.11), both P < 0.05. Regarding 28-day mortality of ICU sepsis, IVW analysis showed that phylum Bacteroidetes (OR = 0.92, 95%CI was 0.86-0.99), family Streptococcaceae (OR = 0.92, 95%CI was 0.85-0.98), family Flavobacteriaceae (OR = 0.90, 95%CI was 0.83-0.97), genus Streptococcus (OR = 0.92, 95%CI was 0.86-0.99), ASV016 [Enhydrobacter] (OR = 0.92, 95%CI was 0.87-0.98), and ASV042 [Acinetobacter] (OR = 0.92, 95%CI was 0.88-0.97) were significantly negatively correlated with the 28-day mortality of ICU sepsis (all P < 0.05); family Moraxellaceae (OR = 1.09, 95%CI was 1.00-1.18) and ASV008 [Staphylococcus] (OR = 1.08, 95%CI was 1.03-1.14) was significantly positively correlated with the 28-day mortality of ICU sepsis (both P < 0.05). Sensitivity analysis and MR-PRESSO showed no heterogeneity, pleiotropy, or horizontal pleiotropy between skin microbiota and ICU sepsis risk and 28-day mortality rate. Analysis of confounding factors showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with relevant skin bacteria could independently and causally affect the risk of ICU sepsis or ICU sepsis related mortality rate, independent of other confounding factors. The Steiger test results indicated that the established causal relationship was not due to reverse causality. CONCLUSIONS Skin microbiota composition may influence both sepsis susceptibility and 28-day mortality in ICU settings. Family Flavobacteriaceae demonstrated protective effects against sepsis onset and mortality. These findings provide new perspectives for early detection and management strategies.

Amoenucles A-F (1-6), six previously undescribed nucleoside derivatives, and two known analogs (7 and 8) were isolated from the culture of Aspergillus amoenus TJ507. Their structures were elucidated through spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and chemical reactions. Notably, 3 and 4 represent the first reported instances of nucleosides with an attached pyrrole moiety. Of particular significance, the absolute configuration of the sugar moiety of 1-4 was determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electric circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and a hydrolysis reaction, presenting a potentially valuable method for confirming nucleoside structures. Furthermore, 1, 2, and 5-8 exhibited potential tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) inhibitory activities, which may provide a novel chemical template for the development of agents targeting autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
