Childhood primary renal tubular diseases are chronic kidney diseases characterized by impaired renal tubular reabsorption. Primary renal tubular disease has diverse clinical manifestations and lacks of specificity. Laboratory tests are limited，making it prone to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Based on the current knowledge of renal tubular diseases，authors propose early warning signals of renal tubular diseases such as family history of primary tubular diseases，unexplained polyhydramnios during pregnancy，polydipsia，polyuria，delayed growth and development or rickets，decreased muscle strength and tone，unexplained electrolyte disturbance，hyperuricemia，acid-base disturbance，positive urine sugar test，renal tubular proteinuria，urinary imaging examination suggesting kidney stones，calcium deposition，renal cysts and early onset of eye，ear，joint and neuron injury.Meanwhile，some universal management strategies for primary renal tubular disease are proposed，emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration，genetic testing and individualized intervention to improve the long-term prognosis of childhood primary renal tubular diseases.

Objective To investigate the correlation of vascular senescence indicators,brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV),cardio-ankle vascular index(CAVI),ankle-brachial index(ABI)with total burden of MRI in patients with cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD).Methods A total of 200 CSVD patients admitted to our hospital from November 2023 to October 2024 were retrospectively recruited,and based on their total MRI burden,they were divided into a low-burden group(score:0-1,103 cases)and a high-burden group(score:2-4,97 cases).A athero-sclerosis monitoring device(VS-1500A)was used to detect baPWV,CAVI,and ABI values.The relationships of the three indicators with total MRI burden score and their predictive values for the burden score were analyzed.Results The high-burden group had significantly higher BMI,el-evated homocysteine and uric acid levels,and increased baPWV and CAVI,but lower ABI than the low-burden group(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic analysis showed that baPWV,CAVI and ABI were independent influencing factors for high MRI burden of CSVD patients.Spearman correlation analysis showed that baPWV and CAVI values were positively correlated(r=0.589,P=0.000;r=0.458,P=0.000),and ABI was negatively correlated with the total MRI burden score of CSVD patients(r=-0.352,P=0.000).ROC curve analysis showed that baPWV(AUC=0.816,P=0.000),CAVI(AUC=0.725,P=0.000)and ABI(AUC=0.676,P=0.000)were all predic-tors for high MRI burden score in CSVD patients.Conclusion baPWV and CAVI are positively,and ABI is negatively correlated with the total MRI burden score of CSVD patients.baPWV,CAVI and ABI show higher predictive value for the high burden score,with baPWV most significant.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of perioperative aspiration to the pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and caesarean section,hence to develop a nomogram model for prediction of perioperative aspiration in the pregnant women with caesarean section.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select a total of 960 pregnant women who had GDM and received caesarean section in our hospital from January 2019 to July 2023.The data obtained from the pregnant women were used as the training set.Further 320 pregnant women who had GDM and received caesarean section in our hospital between August 2023 and December 2024 were assigned as the validation set.Logistic regression was used to analyse the risk factors of perioperative regurgitation and aspiration.A nomogram model of perioperative regurgitation and aspiration for the pregnant women with GDM was established using the R software.The Bootstrap method was adopted to conduct repeated sampling for 1,000 times for model validation.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and the calibration curve were used to evaluate the reliability and prediction of the model.Results The included predictive variables in the model were:the strict preoperative fasting and water deprivation,general anaesthesia,emergency caesarean section,BMI≥28kg/m2,administration of inhaled anaesthetics,operation time over 1 hour,and administration of prenatal antibiotics.The calibration curves of both the training set and the validation set were found comprehensively consistent with the ideal curve.The areas under the ROC curves of the training set and the validation set were 0.855(95%CI:0.781-0.929)and 0.843(95%CI:0.771-0.915),respectively.Conclusion The predictive variables for perioperative regurgitation and aspiration in the pregnant women with GDM include obesity,strict preoperative fasting and water deprivation,general anaesthesia,emergency caesarean section,administration of inhaled anaesthetics,over 1 hour of operation time and administration of prenatal antibiotics.The nomogram model established in this study has a high accuracy and a high clinical value.

Milk-derived exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles naturally present in mammalian milk and are rich in proteins,lipids,nucleic acids,and bioactive metabolites.They exhibit biological activities such as anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,and immunomodulatory effects.Owing to their unique advantages of low immunogenicity,excellent biocompatibility,stability,and natural targeting ability,milk-derived exosomes have emerged as promising natural nanocarriers,garnering significant attention in disease treatment and nutritional interventions.Sarcopenia,characterized by reduced skeletal muscle mass and diminished strength,is closely associated with aging,chronic inflammation,and oxidative stress.Recent studies have highlighted the potential role of milk-derived exosomes in combating sarcopenia.These exosomes can increase myotube diameter,enhance muscle mass and fiber cross-sectional area,and improve exercise performance metrics such as grip strength.Potential mechanisms may include promoting muscle anabolism,improving mitochondrial function through antioxidant mechanisms,and modulating the inflammatory microenvironments.However,challenges remain in their application for sarcopenia at present,such as the unclear mechanisms of key bioactive components[e.g.,microRNAs(miRNAs),L-ornithine,and milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8(MFG-E8)],and the targeting and stability of delivery systems need to be optimized.Future research should focus on the functional analysis of components in exosomes,optimization of delivery systems,and preclinical validation to promote their practical application in managing age-related muscle health.

Objective:Based on the specific cleavage and non-specific "trans-cleavage" activities of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein(CRISPR/Cas13), we established a visually amplification-free rapid detection technique of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. This technique is easily processed with a low detection limit and good specificity.Methods:According to the 2019-nCoV gene sequence, specific CRISPR RNAs were screened and designed by bioinformatics analysis, and then synthesized as universal signal-strained RNA transcription targets in vitro to establish and optimize the reaction system. Moreover, the 2019-nCoV pseudoviral nucleic acid was used as a standard substance to evaluate the detection limit. A total of 65 positive samples were collected from various 2019-nCoV variants, while 48 negative samples included other clinically common respiratory pathogens, such as influenza A virus, influenza B virus, human parainfluenza virus, Klebsiella pneumonia, etc. All samples were tested by quantitative PCR (qPCR), digital PCR, and the method established in this study. The sensitivity and specificity of the newly established method were analyzed and evaluated. Results:With the newly established technique, the detection time for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid could be minimized to 6 minutes. In addition, the detection limit was 14 copies/μl when assisted by the displaying instrument, whereas it increased to 28 copies/μl with the naked eye. This technique had a sensitivity and specificity of 98.5% (66/67) and 100% (46/46) respectively, showing no statistically significant difference compared to the gold standard qPCR( P=1). Conclusions:This study has successfully established a CRISPR/Cas13a-based visually rapid detection technique for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. This technique offers the advantages of a simple process, convenient operation, low environmental operating requirements, a detection limit close to qPCR, and a strong potential for on-site testing applications.

Objective:To analyze the vaccination recommendations and follow-up for children with special health status.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, 509 children who attended the Consultation Clinic of Vaccination for Special Health Children in Beijing Children′s Hospital from August 2020 to February 2023 were selected, the children were given vaccination planning advice after the assessment. The clinical data were collected, including the general situation, special health conditions, vaccination recommendations and implementation status, occurrence and outcomes of suspected adverse events following immunization (AEFI) after vaccination. The vaccination situation and safety in these children were evaluated.Results:Among the 509 children, the most common special health conditions were cardiovascular system diseases (103 cases), followed by neurological diseases (88 cases) and neonatal problems (82 cases). After comprehensive evaluation and multidisciplinary collaboration, 399 children (78.4%) were recommended to receive vaccination/catch-up vaccination according to the immunization program, 63 children (12.4%) were recommended to receive some vaccines but temporarily suspend others, and 47 children (9.2%) were recommended to temporarily suspend vaccination. A total of 449 children (88.2%) were actually vaccinated, AEFI occurred in 49 children and 45 cases were considered as general reactions.Conclusions:The majority of children with special health status can be vaccinated, and the overall compliance and safety are high. The individualized immunization evaluation model of multidisciplinary collaboration is conducive to the completion of the immunization program of children with special health status.
