It was a retrospective study. The propensity score matching was applied to divide the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients who have underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) into two groups: short-term (<4 weeks) sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) group (213 patients) and control group (213 patients). The occurrence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) after PCI was compared between the two groups. The results showed that the incidence of CIAKI in the SGLT2i group was not significantly different from the control group [10.8% (23/213) vs. 7.5% (16/213), χ2=1.383, P=0.313]. The incidence of CIAKI in patients with SGLT2i application time <1 week was higher than that in control patients, but the difference was not statistically significant [13.00% (16/123) vs. 7.5% (16/213), χ2=2.734, P=0.122]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that short-term (<4 weeks) use of SGLT2i would not increase the risk of CIAKI after PCI in T2DM patients ( OR=0.507, 95% CI 0.238-1.077, P=0.077). Short-term application of SGLT2i before PCI may not increase the risk of CIAKI, but it is advisable to avoid initiating the application of SGLT2i before PCI as much as possible.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of a baby smoothing and special caring cream in reducing the recurrence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in infancy.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Children with moderate AD (with overall investigator's global assessment [IGA] scores of 3 - < 4) were enrolled from Shunyi Maternal and Children′s Hospital of Beijing Children′s Hospital from April 2021 to June 2024. During the induction period, all children were topically treated with 0.1% hydrocortisone butyrate cream twice daily on the lesional skin, as well as with a baby smoothing and special caring cream at least twice daily throughout the body; at the 2-week visit, patients with an IGA score of ≤ 1 point entered the maintenance phase, while those with an IGA score of > 1 point continued the treatment for another 2 weeks; at the 4-week visit, patients with an IGA score of ≤ 1 point entered the maintenance phase, while those still with an IGA score of > 1 point were withdrawn from the study, and received conventional treatment. Patients who entered the maintenance period were randomly divided into the test group and the control group in a 1∶1 ratio using a random number table. In the test group, the hydrocortisone butyrate cream was discontinued, while the baby smoothing and special caring cream was continued twice daily for 8 consecutive weeks; in the control group, both the hydrocortisone butyrate cream and the baby smoothing and special caring cream were discontinued. IGA and Scoring AD (SCORAD) scores were assessed by clinicians at weeks 4 and 8 in the maintenance phase, while the patient-oriented eczema measure (POEM) score was evaluated weekly by patients' parents. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Breslow test were used to compare recurrence rates in the two groups (the primary efficacy outcome), and a generalized estimating equation model was used to evaluate the changes in IGA, SCORAD, and POEM scores in the two groups (the secondary efficacy outcomes). Adverse reactions were monitored throughout the study to evaluate safety.Results:A total of 68 children with moderate AD aged from 3 months to 2 years were included. There were 38 females and 30 males, aged 11.72 ± 6.03 months. Fifty-two patients entered the maintenance phase; 2 were lost to follow-up, and 50 were included in the per-protocol set, with 28 in the test group and 22 in the control group. The recurrence rate during the maintenance phase was 7.14% (2/28) in the test group and 31.82% (7/22) in the control group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ 2 = 5.08, P = 0.032). At weeks 4 and 8 in the maintenance phase, the IGA scores were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group (Wald χ 2 = 5.06, P = 0.024), whereas the SCORAD scores showed no significant differences between the two groups (Wald χ 2 = 2.92, P = 0.087). During weeks 1 - 8 in the maintenance phase, the POEM scores showed no significant differences between the two groups or over time (both P > 0.05), while the two groups showed different change trends in POEM scores over time (Wald χ 2interaction = 55.37, Pinteraction < 0.001). Throughout the entire study period, no adverse reactions were observed among all 68 subjects. Conclusion:With a high safety profile, the baby smoothing and special caring cream could reduce the recurrence rate during the maintenance phase, showing promise as an adjuvant therapy for the maintenance treatment of AD in infancy, and is worthy of clinical application.

Background At present, high level of depression is a serious problem in medical staff and may affect their immune function. The role of psychological resilience between depression and immunity cannot be ignored. However, it is still lack of research report in this area. Objective To explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience on the association between depression and humoral immunological biomarkers in medical staff. Methods A total of 108 medical staff from a tertiary hospital in Henan Province were selected using stratified cluster sampling from September 2022 to December 2022. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used to evaluate their psychological resilience and depression. Serum immunoglobulin (Ig) M (IgM), IgG, IgA, complement 3 (C3), and complement 4 (C4) were detected in fasting venous blood samples. Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, independent-samples t-test, and One-way ANOVA were used for comparisons among different demographic groups. Spearman correlation was used to evaluate correlations among measured variables. PROCESS plug-in was used to verify potential mediating effect of psychological resilience on the relationship between depression and humoral immunological biomarkers. Results The M (P25, P75) score of psychological resilience was 65.50 (53.25, 75.00) in the participating medical staff. The ratios of low, medium, and high levels of psychological resilience were 2.78% (3/108), 51.85% (56/108), and 45.37% (49/108), respectively. The M (P25, P75) score of depression was 6.00 (2.00, 8.00). The positive rate of depression was 61.11% (66/108). The correlation analysis results showed that psychological resilience was negatively correlated with depression and serum complement C3 (r=−0.416 and −0.309, P<0.01), positively correlated with serum IgG and serum IgA (r=0.302 and 0.517, P<0.01); optimism, self-improvement, and resilience were negatively correlated with depression (r=−0.387, −0.446, and −0.312, P<0.01), positively correlated with IgG (r=0.194, 0.284, and 0.239, P<0.05), and positively correlated with IgA (r=0.377, 0.378, and 0.444, P<0.01), respectively; resilience was negatively correlated with C3 (r=−0.304, P<0.01), and depression was negatively correlated with serum IgG and serum IgA (r=−0.516 and −0.522, P<0.01), positively correlated with serum complement C3 (r=0.195, P<0.05). The mediating effect test showed that psychological resilience showed mediating effects on the relationship between depression and serum IgA and serum complement C3, with mediating effect values of −0.148 (95%CI: −0.051, −0.012) and 0.111 (95%CI: 0.001, 0.010), and their mediating effect ratios were 28.30% and 56.92%. Conclusion The mental health status of the target medical staff is not optimistic. Depression is associated with changes in some humoral immunological biomarkers. Psychological resilience can mediate the correlations between depression and humoral immunological biomarkers. The managers should take measures to improve the levels of psychological resilience and promote the physical and mental health of medical staff.

Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) is an early pathogenic colonizer in periodontitis, but the host response to infection with this pathogen remains unclear. In this study, we built an F. nucleatum infectious model with human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and showed that F. nucleatum could inhibit proliferation, and facilitate apoptosis, ferroptosis, and inflammatory cytokine production in a dose-dependent manner. The F. nucleatum adhesin FadA acted as a proinflammatory virulence factor and increased the expression of interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-8. Further study showed that FadA could bind with PEBP1 to activate the Raf1-MAPK and IKK-NF-κB signaling pathways. Time-course RNA-sequencing analyses showed the cascade of gene activation process in PDLSCs with increasing durations of F. nucleatum infection. NFκB1 and NFκB2 upregulated after 3 h of F. nucleatum-infection, and the inflammatory-related genes in the NF-κB signaling pathway were serially elevated with time. Using computational drug repositioning analysis, we predicted and validated that two potential drugs (piperlongumine and fisetin) could attenuate the negative effects of F. nucleatum-infection. Collectively, this study unveils the potential pathogenic mechanisms of F. nucleatum and the host inflammatory response at the early stage of F. nucleatum infection.
