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.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) on the prognosis of patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in the era of widespread application of MRI.Methods:Clinical data were collected from an open-lable prospective clinical trial on thoracic radiotherapy target volumes for limited-stage SCLC conducted in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center and Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between June 2002 and January 2017. In this study, patients who achieved complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) after definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) were retrospectively analyzed. Stratified analysis was performed according to different clinical efficacies. Patients were divided into different groups according to whether PCI was conducted or not. Survival analysis of patients was carried out. Survival data were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazards model was applied for multivariate prognostic analysis.Results:Among 309 patients with limited-stage SCLC who received CRT, 133 patients achieved CR and 140 cases obtained PR. These 273 patients were enrolled in this study. Among 133 patients with CR, 29 of them did not receive PCI, and 89 (85.6%) of the remaining 104 patients receiving PCI underwent brain MRI to exclude brain metastasis (BM) before PCI. With a median follow-up time of 22.1 months, the cumulative BM rates were 18.3% and 37.9% in patients who received or did not receive PCI ( P=0.020). The median overall survival (OS) was 30.2 and 30.5 months, and the 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates were 93.3%, 41.9%, 27.7% and 82.8%, 44.8%, 40.8%, respectively ( P=0.910). Multivariate analysis indicated that baseline Karnofsky performance status (KPS) = 90 was a favorable independent prognostic factor for OS in CR patients ( HR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.89-0.98, P=0.006). Among 140 patients achieving PR, 52 cases did not receive PCI and 80 (90.9%) of the remaining 88 patients received brain MRI before PCI. With a median follow-up time of 18.9 months, the cumulative BM rates were 10.2% and 44.2% ( P<0.001). The median OS was 26.0 and 18.0 months, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 86.4%, 37.9%, 32.2% and 75.0%, 17.3%, 10.8%, respectively ( P=0.001). Baseline KPS = 90 ( HR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.89-0.97, P=0.001) and PCI ( HR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.36-0.80, P=0.002) were favorable prognostic factors for OS in PR patients. Conclusions:PCI significantly reduces the incidence of BM and prolongs the OS in patients with limited-stage SCLC who achieve PR after CRT, but it fails to significantly prolong the OS of CR patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of newly-treated elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with intermediate-risk karyotype.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. A total of 87 newly-treated elderly AML patients with intermediate-risk karyotype in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital) from January 2013 to December 2023 were selected. The clinical characteristics were summarized. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model was used to make univariate and multivariate analyses of prognostic factors.Results:The median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 87 patients was 69 (60, 87) years. The patients with normal karyotype and abnormal karyotype accounted for 77.1% (67/87), 22.9% (20/87), respectively. A total of 74 patients (85.1%) had 1 or more gene mutations, of which FLT3-ITD, NPM1 mutation, CEBPA mutation and WT1 high expression accounted for 29.9% (26/87), 26.4% (23/87), 19.5% (17/87), and 65.5% (57/87), respectively; additionally, 44.7% (39/87) of patients had 2 or more gene mutations. The objective response rate of patients after induction therapy was 47.7% (41/87), while the relapse rate was 73.2% (30/41). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 7.8 months, and the median overall survival (OS) time was 12.1 months. Univariate analysis result revealed that age, FLT3-ITD, hypomethylating agents, and minimal residual disease complete remission (MDR-CR) were factors influencing the OS of newly-treated elderly AML patients with intermediate-risk karyotype (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that MDR-CR was an independent risk factor for OS (yes vs. no: HR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.14-0.51, P < 0.001). Conclusions:Newly-treated elderly AML patients with intermediate-risk karyotype have a high relapse rate and poor prognosis, and MDR-CR is identified as an independent influencing factor for the prognosis of these patients.
