Objective:To investigate the changes of cerebral blood flow before and after transfusion in neonates with anemia,and analyze the related influencing factors of neonatal middle cerebral artery blood flow.Methods:A total of 39 neonates with anemia who were hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from October 2021 to March 2023 and received blood transfusion treatment were selected.Basic data were collected.Transcranial Doppler ultrasound was used to collect peak systolic flow velocity(Vs),end-diastolic flow velocity(Vd)and vascular resistance index(RI)of left and right middle cerebral artery(MCA).To analyze the relationship between neonatal anemia and middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity.To explore the effects of anemia and blood transfusion on middle cerebral artery blood flow,and analyze the related factors of middle cerebral artery blood flow.Results:A total of 39 neonates were included in this study,and the Vs on both the left and right sides of the middle cerebral artery after transfusion was lower than that before transfusion[Vs on the left side after transfusion was(44.7±16.7)cm/s compared with that before transfusion(45.9±19.2)cm/s,Vs on the right side after transfusion:(49.2±18.4)cm/s Vs(52.4±25.1)cm/s before transfusion];The mean blood pressure,Vd and RI after transfusion were all higher than those before transfusion[mean pressure(after transfusion/before transfusion):(41.7±6.3)mmHg ratio(40.9±6.9)mmHg],[Vd after transfusion on the left side:(11.7±6.6)cm/s compared with that before transfusion(10.9±5.0)cm/s,Vd after transfusion on the right side:(10.5±4.0)cm/s compared with(9.6±5.5)cm/s],[left post-transfusion RI:(0.75±0.08)compared with pre-transfusion RI:(0.74±0.09),right post-transfusion RI:(0.77±0.08)compared with(0.70±0.86)before transfusion],but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05);Through further correlation analysis,gestational age at birth,standard deviation of hemoglobin and normal value before and after transfusion,mean blood pressure,birth weight and blood flow of middle cerebral artery were respectively correlated,and it was found that gestational age was positively correlated with MCA Vd before transfusion,the standard deviation of hemoglobin before transfusion was negatively correlated with MCA on the left and right side,and the mean blood pressure was positively correlated with MCA blood flow.Birth weight was positively correlated with right side Vd of MCA after transfusion.Conclusion:Blood transfusion in anemic neonates can affect blood flow velocity in middle cerebral artery.The blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery was correlated with gestational age,anemia degree,mean blood pressure and birth weight.

A mounting body of research suggests that circRNAs significantly contribute to the develop-ment of myocardial fibrosis.The microarray results of human circular RNA expression profile indicated that circHERC4_041 expression increased in the myocardium of patients with heart failure,RT-qPCR a-nalysis confirmed that the myocardial expression level of circHERC4_041 in individuals with heart failure were considerably elevated compared to that in healthy organ donors.Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)confirmed that circHERC4_041 was abundant in the cytoplasm of human cardiomyocyte AC16.Overexpression of circHERC4_041 in mouse myocardial fibroblasts(mCFs)mediated by adenovirus in-hibited the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in mCFs.Experiments involving cell proliferation,wound healing,and Transwell assays demonstrated that overexpression of circHERC4_041 suppressed the growth and mobility of mCFs(P＜0.001).Sequence analysis results suggested that circHERC4_041 con-tains potential ribosome entry sequence(IRES)and open reading frame(ORF).Western blot confirmed that circHERC4_041 could translate the 516 amino acid HERC4-516aa protein,which was mainly located in the cytoplasm of the cell.Cell functional experiments confirmed that circHERC4_041 inhibited the fi-brotic phenotype of mCFs by specifically translating HERC4-516aa(P＜0.05).The specific interaction between HERC4-516aa and transglutaminase 2(TGM2)was confirmed by IP-MS screening and Co-IP i-dentification.Further results found that the degradation of TGM2 was promoted through proteasome path-way.The overexpression of TGM2 in mCFs facilitated by adenoviral vectors could counteract the suppres-sive effects of HERC4-516aa on the fibrotic phenotype of mCFs.Therefore,this study confirmed that the HERC4-516aa protein translated by circHERC4_041 can specifically bind to TGM2 to inhibit the fibrotic phenotype of myocardial fibroblasts.

To summarize the clinical experience of Professor LIU Shangyi in treating pruritus vulvae. It is believed that women have the physiological characteristics of liver and kidney as the root， and their pubic area is easily attacked by wind-dampness pathogenic qi， so the core mechanism of pruritus vulvae is proposed as wind-dampness accumulation and deficiency of liver and kidney. The core treatment method is to dispel wind-dampness and nourish the liver and kidneys， and modify the Danggui Decoction （当归饮子） to form a self-prescribed Yinyang Formula （阴痒方） as the basic prescription to treat pruritus vulvaen.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
