Objective:To analyze hemodynamic characteristics during the initial phase of the head-up tilt test (HUTT) in children with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and the value for predicting vasovagal syncope(VVS).Methods:This was a case-control study involving 123 POTS patients who underwent HUTT in the Pediatric Cardiovascular Department at the Children's Hospital,Capital Institute of Pediatrics,from January 2021 to August 2023.According to HUTT results,participants were divided into POTS combined with VVS group( n=82) and POTS group( n=41).The general conditions,clinical symptoms,24-hour urine sodium levels,and hemodynamics changes during the initial phase of HUTT between the two groups were compared. Results:The prevalence of POTS combined with VVS was 66.13% (82/123).There were no significant differences in age,sex,body mass index,24-hour urinary sodium,heart rate,heart rate variability,and maximum heart rate variability during the initial phase of HUTT between the two groups( P>0.05).Compared to the POTS group,the 10-minute systolic blood pressure(SBP10),10-minute diastolic blood pressure (DBP10),and 10-minute mean blood pressure(MBP10) in the POTS combined with VVS group were significantly lower [SBP10: 104(98.8,114.3) vs. 111(105,121.5)mmHg, Z=-3.071, P<0.05; DBP10: 63.44±8.36 vs. 68.29±6.43 mmHg, t=-3.265, P <0.05; MBP10: 78.31±9.74 vs. 83.28±7.30 mmHg, t =-2.879, P<0.05].Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that DBP10,the difference between baseline DBP and DBP at 10-minute (△DBP10),and the in creasing rate of DBP10(△DBPR10) were predictive factors for POTS combined with VVS,with cut-off values of 67.5 mmHg (AUC=0.687,sensitivity 67.5%,specificity 72.0%),7.5 mmHg (AUC=0.633,sensitivity 43.9%,specificity 79.3%),and -2.84% (AUC=0.631,sensitivity 92.7%,specificity 31.7%),respectively.The combined predictive value was more significant (AUC=0.709, P<0.05),with sensitivity and specificity of 70.7% and 67.1%,respectively.In terms of age,DBP10 exhibited a higher predictive value in patients aged 13-18 years,with a DBP10 cut-off of 64.5 mmHg,AUC of 0.762,sensitivity of 92.7%,and specificity of 31.7%. Conclusion:The rate of HUTT-proven VVS in POTS was 66.13%.△DBP10,DBP10 and △DBPR10 have predictive value for POTS combined with VVS.Additionally,DBP10 shows a higher predictive value in patients aged 13-18 years.

Objective To explore the changes in neural activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and their corre-lation with executive function,and to analyze the neural mechanisms underlying the decline in executive function in T2DM patients.Methods Thirty-one T2DM patients(T2DM group)and thirty-two healthy controls(HC)(HC group)matched for body mass index(BMI)underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)scans and N-back task tests were included.Differ-ences in the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation(ALFF),regional homogeneity(ReHo),and seed-based functional connectivity(FC)between the two groups were compared,and partial correlation analyses were performed between the difference results and N-back task performance.Results The T2DM group showed prolonged reaction time(RT)in the 1-back and 2-back tasks.T2DM patients exhibited increased ALFF in the bilateral caudate nucleus,left medial superior frontal gyrus,and right postcentral gyrus,as well as elevated ReHo in the right putamen.FC analysis revealed significant alterations in FC between the caudate nucleus,putamen,and multiple brain regions in T2DM patients,with some of these FC changes significantly correlated with RT and accuracy(ACC)in the N-back task.Conclusion The decline in executive function in T2DM patients may be associated with abnormal neural activity in brain regions such as the striatum,salience network,and frontoparietal control network.FC further decreases under increased cognitive load.These findings provide evidence for the study of the neural mechanisms of executive function impairment in T2DM patients.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for cardiovascular disease(CVD)in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods Clinical data of 225 patients with RA admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2023 to September 2024 were collected,and the patients were divided into CVD group(n=50)and non-CVD group(n=175)according to whether they were complicated by CVD.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of CVD in RA patients.Results Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age,hematocrit,red cell volume distribution width(RDW),erythrocyte sedimentation rate,neutrophil to high density lipoprotein ratio(NHR)and platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR)were all influencing factors for CVD in RA patients(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age,RDW,NHR and PLR were all risk factors for CVD in RA patients(P＜0.05).The results of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of age,RDW,NHR and PLR diagnosed CVD in RA patients were 0.844,0.797,0.572 and 0.713,respectively.The combined diagnosis AUC of four indexes was 0.898.Conclusion The risk of CVD in RA patients is influenced by many factors,and the combination of age,RDW,NHR,and PLR can improve early diagnosis of CVD in RA patients.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics and the correlation between laboratory indicators and prognosis of severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(SMPP)in children.METHODS A total of 85 children with SMPP admitted to Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital from Nov.2021 to May 2024 were selected as the study subjects.Based on clinical typing at admission,they were divided into a high-risk group(n=59)and a low-risk group(n=26).The clinical manifestations,laboratory indicators and outcomes at 28 days of treatment were compared between the two groups.RESULTS The duration of fever and cough before admission in the high-risk group was(7.17±1.09)days and(6.79±1.25)days,respectively,which was longer than that in the low-risk group(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in pulmonary auscultation(wheezing rales,moist rales)and extrapulmonary complications between the two groups.The levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),serum amyloid A(SAA),platelets(PLT),fibrinogen(FIB),D-dimer(DD)and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)in the high-risk group were(11.62±1.45)mg/L,(226.88±36.83)mg/L,(3 18.57±39.82)×109/L,(4.28±0.74)g/L,(0.81±0.12)μg/ml and(2 295.48±413.75)pg/ml,respectively,all of which were higher than those in the low-risk group(P＜0.05).Within 28 days after treatment of children in both groups,one patient in the high-risk group died.CONCLUSIONS Compared with children with SMPP in the low-risk group,those in the high-risk group have a higher risk of prognostic mor-tality,suggesting a correlation between the children's blood CRP,SAA,PLT,FIB,DD and NT-proBNP levels and the prognosis of children with SMPP.

Objective:To investigate the role and mechanism of TrxR1 in reprogramming tumor-associated macrophage in breast cancer,providing novel insights and theoretical foundations for clinical breast cancer treatment.Methods:TISIDB database was used to analyze the relationship between TXNRD1(encoding TrxR1)and tumor immunity.Mouse breast cancer 4T1 cells conditioned medium was collected and co-cultured with bone marrow-derived macrophage(BMDM)cells for 48 h to detect the expression of macrophage immunosuppression-related factors.TrxR1 secretion by tumor cells was measured using ELISA kits.TXNRD1 knockdown efficiency was verified via Western blot.Fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)and flow cytometry were used to detect the expression levels of macrophage immunosuppressive factors after TXNRD1 knockdown in tumor cells.JASPAR database was used to analyze the potential regulatory factors,and Western blot was used to verify the expression of pathway-related proteins.Results:Database analysis found that TXNRD1 expression positively correlated with survival risk indices across multiple cancers,with the strongest association observed in breast cancer.Further analysis found that elevated TXNRD1 expression correlated with reduced infiltration of M1 macrophages and natural killer(NK)cells,but increased M2 macrophage infiltration.qPCR and flow cytometry demonstrated that tumor-conditioned medium enhanced macrophage immunosuppression,whereas medium from TXNRD1-knockdown tumor cells suppressed this effect.And TrxR1-neutralizing antibodies could also reversed this effect.JASPAR database analysis identified STAT3 and STAT6 as potential transcriptional regulators,and Western blot confirmed that TXNRD1-knockdown tumor cells conditioned medium inhibited STAT6 pathway activation in macrophages.Conclusion:In the tumor microenvironment,breast tumor-derived TrxR1 promotes macrophage immunosuppression,potentially through activation of the STAT6 signaling pathway.
