Objective:To investigate the impact of antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) exposure on neonatal outcomes in late preterm infants.Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed 406 late preterm infants (gestational age 34 +0-36 +6 weeks) born at Tongji University Affiliated Dongfang Hospital between January 2021 and June 2024. Participants were divided into ACS-exposed ( n=254) and control ( n=152) groups. Maternal characteristics, neonatal profiles, and outcomes [respiratory disorders (respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory failure, bronchopulmonary dysplasia), neonatal hypoglycemia, and early-onset sepsis] were compared. And they were stratified by plurality (154 twins, 252 singletons) and gestational age (96 at 34 +0-34 +6 weeks; 111 at 35 +0-35 +6 weeks; 199 at 36 +0-36 +6 weeks), the effects of ACS exposure on neonatal outcomes were analyzed. Late preterm infants were also divided into affected ( n=13) and unaffected ( n=393) groups according to whether they had respiratory disorders, and the risk factors of respiratory disorders were analyzed. Statistical methods included independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square test, and multivariate logistic regression. Results:The ACS-exposed group exhibited significantly higher rates of assisted reproductive technology conception [53.1% (135/254) vs. 37.5% (57/152), χ2=9.37], twin pregnancy [43.3% (110/254) vs. 28.9% (44/152), χ2=6.84], cesarean delivery [83.5% (212/254) vs. 66.4% (101/152), χ2=15.66], and neonatal intensive care unit admission than those in the control group [59.1% (150/254) vs. 40.8% (62/152), χ2=12.61] (all P<0.05). No significant differences emerged between ACS-exposed and control groups in respiratory disorders [3.1% (8/254) vs. 3.3% (5/152), χ2=0.01], early-onset sepsis [1.6% (4/254) vs. 1.3% (2/152), χ2=0.71], or neonatal hypoglycemia [1.6% (4/254) vs. 1.3% (2/152), χ2=0.71] (all P>0.05). Stratified analyses by plurality or gestational age strata revealed no significant differences in respiratory disorders, early-onset sepsis or neonatal hypoglycemia between ACS-exposed and control groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified ACS exposure as non-protective against respiratory disorders ( OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.10-1.39, P=0.144), with maternal glucose metabolism disorders (pre-gestational/gestational diabetes) as a risk factor ( OR=5.26, 95% CI: 1.57-17.71, P=0.007) and higher gestational age as protective ( OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.15-0.78, P=0.012). Conclusions:ACS administration at 34 +0-36 +6 weeks demonstrated no significant benefits for preventing respiratory disorders in late preterm infants and did not increase risks of hypoglycemia or early-onset sepsis. Maternal glucose dysregulation and lower gestational age elevate respiratory morbidity risk in this population.

Liver fibrosis is a key step in the progression of chronic liver diseases to liver cirrhosis and even liver cancer. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown the necessity of intervening in the process of liver fibrosis, and various anti-liver fibrosis drugs and active ingredients have been discovered. Non-coding RNAs also play an important role in the process of liver fibrosis, and searching for upstream non-coding RNAs that can regulate signaling pathways can provide new insights for anti-liver fibrosis treatment. This article introduces the process of liver fibrosis mediated by the TGF-β, Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, NF-κβ, Hippo, and MAPK signaling pathways, lists the latest anti-liver fibrosis drugs or active components in each signaling pathway, and summarizes the research advances in anti-liver fibrosis targets and drugs mediated by related non-coding RNAs, so as to provide new research ideas and treatment methods for anti-liver fibrosis treatment.

Drug-drug interactions (DDI) of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) mediated by metabolic enzymes and transporters have become an important issue in clinical practice recently. In addition to CYP450 enzymes, uridine diphosphate glucuronidases (UGTs) are another class of metabolic enzymes involved in the metabolism of TKIs, and most TKIs can inhibit the UGTs in vitro. Potential clinically meaningful DDIs may occur with the co-administration of TKIs and substrates or inhibitors of UGTs. This paper will mainly focus on the UGTs-mediated drug-drug and the effect of UGT1A genotype on the drug interactions of TKIs and explores strategies to address, aiming to provide clinicians and pharmacists with references for the safe and rational application of TKIs.
7.The application of multimodality MRI in premature infants with white matter damage
International Journal of Pediatrics 2020;47(8):556-560
Premature infants with younger gestational age are more susceptible to a variety of risk factors, such as ischemia, hypoxia, infection and inflammatory damage.These risk factors will lead to white matter damage and cause neurological sequelae.In recent years, multimodality MRI such as diffusion weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and susceptibility weighted imaging have developed rapidly, which provide evidence not only for the location and nature of brain damage, but also for the pathophysiology, tissue blood supply, cell metabolism.This review summarizes the application of multimodality MRI in premature infants with white matter damage.

Objective:
To explore the use of supporting guide wire to exclude the PICC catheter refolding malposition,and reduce the number of the catheter resetting and the average time of catheter resetting,while reducing the mechanicalness phlebitis and the incidence of symptomatic thrombosis.
Methods:
A total of 3 513 patients who received PICC from September 2016 to August 2018 were enrolled. The patients were divided into control group (1 757 cases) and observation group (1 756 cases) by random number table method.The control group was treated with conventional B-ultrasound guided modified Sadinger technique PICC. After the observation group was finished on the basis of the control group, the support guide wire was partially withdrawn and re-sent, according to whether the guide wire was re-supplied or not, to determine whether the catheter has a partial fold in the body. The incidence of catheter refolding malposition, the number of reductions, the time of reduction, and the incidence of mechanicalness phlebitis and symptomatic thrombosis were compared between the two groups.
Results:
The refolding malposition rate of the observation group and the control group were 0 and 3.47%(61/1 757), respectively. The difference was statistically significant (
