Objective:To observe and analyze the subtype-specific prognostic factors for visual recovery in patients with demyelinating optic neuritis (DON) after glucocorticoid pulse therapy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study. A total of 195 patients (249 eyes) with DON diagnosed by ophthalmology examination at Department of Ophthalmology, Xi'an People's Hospital (Xi'an Fourth Hospital) from January 2021 to December 2024 were included in the study. According to the results of serum antibody detection and clinical diagnostic criteria, the patients were divided into the neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)-associated optic neuritis (ON) (NMOSD-ON) group, the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antitide-associated ON (MOG-ON) group, and the double antibody negative ON group. They were 51 cases (58 eyes), 72 cases (103 eyes), and 72 cases (88 eyes) respectively. Baseline clinical data, imaging characteristics, and treatment protocols were collected. The primary endpoints were complete visual recovery [best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 1.0] and moderate recovery (BCVA ≥0.5) at 3 months post-onset. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent prognostic factors for visual outcomes within each subtype.Results:At 3 months post-onset, complete recovery rates were 9 (15.5%, 9/58) in the NMOSD-ON group, 64 (62.1%, 64/103) in the MOG-ON group, and 31 (35.2%, 31/88) in the double-seronegative ON group. The results of multivariate regression analysis showed that age [odds ratio ( OR) =0.901, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.854-0.950, P<0.001] and peak visual acuity ( OR=0.311, 95% CI 0.147-0.660, P=0.002) and the involvement of optic nerve length ≥1/2 ( OR=3.849, 95% CI 1.083-13.682, P=0.037) were the influencing factors for the complete recovery of visual acuity in the affected eyes of the double antibody negative ON group. Age ( OR=0.958, 95% CI 0.933-0.983, P=0.001) was the only influencing factor for the complete recovery of visual acuity in the affected eyes of the MOG-ON group. Peak visual acuity ( OR=0.288, 95% CI 0.090-0.927, P=0.037) and optic nerve involvement length ≥1/2 ( OR=19.974, 95% CI 1.905-209.559, P=0.013) were the influencing factors for the complete recovery of visual acuity in the affected eyes of the NMOSD-ON group. Age ( OR=0.936, 95% CI 0.890-0.983, P=0.009), time from onset to intravenous infusion of methylprednisolone sodium succinate intervention ( OR=0.854, 95% CI 0.759-0.961, P=0.009), optic disc edema ( OR=4.405, 95% CI 1.108-17.512, P=0.035) and peak visual acuity ( OR=0.13, 95% CI 0.046-0.365, P<0.001) were the influencing factors for the moderate recovery of visual acuity in the affected eyes of the double antibody negative ON group. Peak visual acuity was the only influencing factor for the moderate recovery of visual acuity in the MOG-ON group ( OR=0.060, 95% CI 0.010-0.352, P=0.002) and the NMOSD-ON group ( OR=0.163, 95% CI 0.053-0.500, P=0.001). Conclusions:The prognostic factors for visual recovery in patients with DON after glucocorticoid pulse therapy are subtype-specific. Peak visual acuity is a common predictor for all subtypes. For NMOSD-ON and double antibody-negative ON, attention should be paid to the length of optic nerve lesions. MOG-ON is age-related. Early intravenous infusion of methylprednisolone sodium succinate for double antiantibody negative ON is more likely to achieve moderate vision recovery.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the mechanism of Circ-MYOCD back-splicing and its regulatory role in myocardial hypertrophy.
METHODS:
Sanger sequencing and RNase R assays were performed to verify the circularity and stability of Circ-MYOCD, whose subcellular distribution was determined by nuclear-cytoplasmic fractionation. Bioinformatics analysis and mass spectrometry from pull-down assays were conducted to predict the RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) interacting with Circ-MYOCD. In rat cardiomyocytes H9C2 cells, the effects of HNRNPH1 and HNRNPL knockdown and overexpression on Circ-MYOCD back-splicing were evaluated. In a H9C2 cell model of angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced myocardial hypertrophy, the expression of HNRNPH1 was detected, the effects of HNRNPH1 knockdown and overexpression on progression of myocardial hypertrophy were assessed, and the regulatory effect of HNRNPH1 on Circ-MYOCD back-splicing was analyzed.
RESULTS:
Sanger sequencing confirmed that the junction primers could amplify the correct Circ-MYOCD sequence. RNase R and nuclear-cytoplasmic fractionation assays showed that Circ-MYOCD was stable and predominantly localized in the cytoplasm. Bioinformatics analysis and mass spectrometry from the Circ-MYOCD pull-down assay identified HNRNPH1 and HNRNPL as the RBPs interacting with Circ-MYOCD. In H9C2 cells, HNRNPH1 knockdown significantly enhanced while its overexpression inhibited Circ-MYOCD back-splicing; HNRNPH1 overexpression obviously increased the expressions of myocardial hypertrophy markers ANP and BNP, while its knockdown produced the opposite effect. In Ang II-induced H9C2 cells, which exhibited a significant increase of HNRNPH1 expression and increased expressions of ANP and BNP, HNRNPH1 knockdown obviously increased Circ-MYOCD expression, decreased MYOCD expression and lowered both ANP and BNP expressions.
CONCLUSIONS
HNRNPH1 regulates Circ-MYOCD back-splicing to influence the progression of myocardial hypertrophy.

BACKGROUND:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated anemia (CKD-anemia) is associated with poor survival, and hemoglobin targets are often not achieved with current therapies. Phase 3 trials have demonstrated the treatment efficacy of roxadustat for CKD-anemia. This phase 4 study aims to evaluate the long-term (52-week) safety and effectiveness of roxadustat in a broad real-world patient population with CKD-anemia with and without dialysis in China.
METHODS:
This Phase 4 multicenter, open-label, prospective study, conducted from 24 November 2020 to 11 November 2022, evaluated the long-term safety and effectiveness of roxadustat for CKD-anemia in China. Patients aged ≥18 years with CKD-anemia with or without dialysis were included. The initial oral dose was 70-120 mg (weight-based followed by dose adjustment) over 52 weeks. The primary endpoint was safety based on adverse events (AEs). The secondary endpoints were hemoglobin changes from baseline and the proportion of patients who achieved mean hemoglobin ≥100 g/L. Effectiveness evaluable populations 1 (EE1) and EE2 included roxadustat-naïve and previously roxadustat-treated patients, respectively. The safety analysis set (SAF) included all patients who received ≥1 occasion.
RESULTS:
The EE1, EE2, and SAF populations included 1804, 193, and 2021 patients, respectively. In the SAF, the mean age was 50 ± 14 years, and 1087 patients (53.8%) were male. Mean baseline hemoglobin was 96.9 ± 14.0 g/L in EE1 and 100.3 ± 12.9 g/L in EE2. In EE1, the mean (95% confidence interval) hemoglobin changes from baseline over weeks 24-36 and 36-52 were 14.2 (13.5-14.9) g/L and 14.3 (13.5-15.0) g/L, respectively. Over weeks 24-36 and 36-52, 83.3% and 86.1% of patients in EE1 and 82.7% and 84.7% in EE2 achieved mean hemoglobin ≥100 g/L, respectively. In the SAF, 1643 (81.3%) patients experienced treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs). Overall, 219 (10.8%) patients experienced drug-related TEAEs. Thirty-eight (1.9%) patients died of TEAEs (unrelated to the study drug). Vascular access thrombosis was uncommon.
CONCLUSIONS:
Roxadustat (52 weeks) increased hemoglobin and maintained the treatment target in Chinese patients with CKD-anemia with acceptable safety, supporting its use in real-world settings.

Objective:To explore the intervention effect of health nutrition model based on digital management on patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, and to provide reference for blood sugar control and pregnancy outcome improvement of gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods:Using a randomized controlled study method, totally 80 cases of gestational diabetes mellitus admitted to Langfang People's Hospital from October 2021 to March 2023 were prospectively selected and randomly divided into control group and experimental group according to the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was given routine management, and the experimental group was combined with the health nutrition model based on digital management on this basis. Both groups began to intervene after the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus, and the intervention lasted until one week before the patient's expected delivery. Follow-up to delivery. The delivery mode, weight gain during pregnancy, insulin use during pregnancy, pregnancy outcome and neonatal outcome of the two groups were statistically analyzed. The blood glucose level of the two groups before and after intervention were compared.Results:The age of the control group was 20-31 (26.25 ± 1.98) years old, while the age of the experimental group was 20-33 (25.93 ± 2.11) years old. The cesarean section rate in the experimental group was 32.50% (13/40), which was lower than that in the control group (57.50%, 23/40) ( χ2=5.05, P<0.05). The weight gain during pregnancy in the experimental group was (6.03 ± 0.89) kg, which was lower than (7.93 ± 1.36) kg in the control group ( t=7.39, P<0.05). After intervention, the levels of serum glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose and 2 h postprandial blood glucose in the two groups were lower than those before intervention, and those in the experimental group were (5.19 ± 0.54) %, (4.98 ± 0.49) mmol/L, (6.04 ± 1.15) mmol/L, which were lower than (5.67 ± 0.75) %, (5.37 ± 0.54) mmol/L, (7.16 ± 1.36) mmol/L in the control group ( t=3.28, 3.42, 3.96, all P<0.05). The proportion of macrosomia in the experimental group was 2.50% (1/40), which was lower than 20.00% (8/40) in the control group ( χ2=4.51, P<0.05). The experimental group had no abnormal pregnancy outcome and neonatal outcome respectively as 92.50% (37/40) and 92.50% (37/40), which were 70.00% (28/40) and 57.50% (23/40) in the control group, their difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.65, 13.07, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of health nutrition model based on digital management to intervene in patients with gestational diabetes could effectively improve their blood glucose control effect, improve pregnancy outcome and neonatal outcome, and hada good intervention effect.

This study investigated the prevalence and potential mechanisms of gentamicin heterore-sistance in Streptococcus isolates from dairy cows.In this study,A total of 39 Streptococcus isola-ted from raw milk were collected,and the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of gentamicin and other drugs on the isolates was determined by micro broth dilution method,and the K-B paper diffusion method,colony analysis profile(PAP),and resistance stability test were used to investigate the heteroresistance characteristics of Streptococcus,and the mechanism of heteroresis-tance was analyzed based on whole genome sequencing and resequencing.Seven suspected heterore-sistance strains were identified by K-B paper diffusion method,accounting for 17.95%(7/39)of the total number of suspected strains.PAP confirmed that the MIC to MNIC ratio of L147,L108 and L174 was greater than 8,and the frequency of resistant subgroups ranged from 1.38×10-5 to 8.18 × 10-5,which was greater than 1 × 10-7,confirming that they were heteroresistance strains.Resistance stability tests revealed that the resistant subpopulations of all three strains were not stably inherited.Whole-genome sequencing revealed mutations in the ribosomal target genes of aminoglycoside antibiotics,rsmA,rsmB and rsmE,compared with the reference genome,which may lead to heteroresistance to gentamicin in Streptococcus.The occurrence of heteroresistance of Streptococcus to gentamicin is high in dairy sources,so more attention should be paid to the occur-rence of heteroresistance when using gentamicin for clinical treatment.
