Objective:To analyze the impact of adolescent pregnancy on maternal and infant outcomes.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 5 765 parturbirths in Jining Medical College Hospital from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020. The parturbirths were divided into adolescent group (maternal age<20 years, 280 cases), age group 1 (maternal age 20-24 years, 1 733 cases) and age groups 2 (maternal age 25-34 years, 3 752 cases). All information was collected through the hospital′s electronic case system. General data, pregnancy characteristics and outcomes were compared among the three groups by analysis of variance (ANOVA), χ 2 tests and binary logistics regression analysis was used to analyze the impact of adolescent pregnancy on maternal and infant outcomes. Results:In the adolescent group, the proportion of women with an education of junior high school or below, rural residence, no fixed income, unmarried, and no history of induced abortion were all significantly higher than those in age group 1 and age group 2 (82.50% vs 17.37%, 14.37%; 59.29% vs 42.70%, 43.36%; 80.71% vs 15.52%, 14.71%; 75.71% vs 12.23%, 9.97%; 82.50% vs 71.84%, 71.91%) (all P<0.05); there was no significant differences in age at menarche, body mass index before pregnancy, and weight gain during pregnancy among the three groups (all P>0.05). The proportion of preterm birth, low birth weight infants and transferring to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the adolescent group were all significantly higher than those in age group 1 and age group 2 (5.36% vs 1.10%, 1.57%; 5.00% vs 0.23%, 0.05%; 21.79% vs 6.12%, 15.17%); the incidence of anemia in pregnancy in the adolescent group was significantly higher than that in age group 1 (15.36% vs 9.75%), and the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage was significantly higher than that in the age group 2 (10.71% vs 6.08%). The incidence of failed vaginal trials leading to cesarean section, amniotic fluid contamination, and episiotomy was significantly lower in the adolescent group than those in age group 2 (8.57% vs 15.22%, 10.71% vs 18.10%, 33.95% vs 40.01%) (all P<0.05). The incidence of failed vaginal trials leading to cesarean section was inversely associated with gestational age (adolescent group, OR=0.252, 95% CI: 0.123-0.515; age group 1, OR=0.673, 95% CI: 0.567-0.799) (both P<0.05); the risks of low birth weight infants (adolescent group, OR=7.440, 95% CI: 3.426-16.156; age group 1, OR=0.103, 95% CI: 0.032-0.330) and transferring to the NICU (adolescent group, OR=1.661, 95% CI: 1.120-2.463; age group 1, OR=0.360, 95% CI: 0.290-0.448) showed a U-shaped distribution in different pregnancy age groups, they were both higher in the adolescent group than those in the age group 2 (both P<0.05); the risk of episiotomy (adolescent group, OR=0.002, 95% CI: 0-0.016; age group 1, OR=1.308, 95% CI: 1.151-1.485) showed an inverted U-shape distribution across the different pregnancy age groups, it was lower in the adolescent group than that in age group 2 (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Adolescent pregnancy is associated with a lower risk of conversion to cesarean section and episiotomy due to failed vaginal delivery, but may increase the risk of low birth weight infants and transferring to NICU.

Rosai-Dorfman disease(RDD)is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.The etiology and pathogenesis of RDD have not been fully explained,and its occurrence is even rarer in the maxillofacial region.This paper reported a patient who was first misdiagnosed as facial inflammation caused by oral disease and finally diagnosed as RDD.Clinical features,diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis were discussed based on the literature.This work provides reference for fu-ture diagnosis and differentiation of RDD in cheek.

Objective:To investigate the effects of customized dental-bone supported osteotomy guide plate in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy.Methods:24 patients(48 sides)with maxillofacial deformity underwent BSSO were included.The maxillofacial region of all patients was scanned by CT,the plaster dental models were scanned using laser surface scanner,and the 3D models were established.The osteotomy guide plates of the inner horizontal and anterior sagittal bone incision of mandible ramus were manufactured by digital technology.All splits underwent operation with(27 side)and without(21 sides)the osteotomy guide plate respectively by the same doc-tor,and the time for the inner horizontal and anterior sagittal bone incision of mandible ramus was recorded.Postoperative CT scan was performed to evaluate the surgical effects according to the lingual split scale(LSS)classification.Results:The wound in all patients healed well and no serious complication was observed.The time for the inner horizontal and anterior sagittal bone incision of mandible ramus in plate group and no plate group was(125.67±2.23)s and(141.15±3.69)s respectively(P＜0.05).The probability of mandi-ble splitting according to Hunsuck standard osteotomy line increased from 42.86％to 66.67％,and the probability of osteotomy line passing through mandibular nerve canal decreased from 33.33％to 7.41％,by using osteotomy guide plate.In addition,LSS4 type of osteotomy line was avoided by using osteotomy guide plates.Data analysis showed that the split pattern of sagittal split osteotomy of the mandibular ramus was influenced by the application of osteotomy guide plates(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The customized dental-bone supported osteotomy guide plate is effective in the completion of the operation and reducing time consuming and surgical complication in BSSO.

Eclipta prostrata L.has been used in traditional medicine and known for its liver-protective properties for centuries.Wedelolactone(WEL)and demethylwedelolactone(DWEL)are the major coumarins found in E.prostrata L.However,the comprehensive characterization of these two compounds on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)still remains to be explored.Utilizing a well-established zebrafish model of thioacetamide(TAA)-induced liver injury,the present study sought to investigate the impacts and mechanisms of WEL and DWEL on NAFLD through integrative spatial metabolomics with liver-specific transcriptomics analysis.Our results showed that WEL and DWEL significantly improved liver function and reduced the accumulation of fat in the liver.The biodistributions and metabolism of these two compounds in whole-body zebrafish were successfully mapped,and the discriminatory endogenous metabolites reversely regulated by WEL and DWEL treatments were also characterized.Based on spatial metabolomics and transcriptomics,we identified that steroid biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism are mainly involved in the hepatoprotective effects of WEL instead of DWEL.Our study unveils the distinct mechanism of WEL and DWEL in ameliorating NAFLD,and presents a"multi-omics"platform of spatial metabolomics and liver-specific transcriptomics to develop highly effective compounds for further improved therapy.

Background Some studies have shown that PM_2.5 exposure is closely related to central nervous system diseases that lead to cognitive dysfunction and change the composition of intestinal flora. However, there are few studies on the role of intestinal flora in PM_2.5-induced depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Objective To observe the effects of PM_2.5 exposure on depression- and anxiety-like behaviors and the composition of intestinal flora in mice, and to explore the role of intestinal flora in regulating 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in mice exposed to PM_2.5. Methods Eight-week-old male SPF C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group (NS group), probiotic group (LGG group), PM_2.5 group (PM group), and combined exposure group (PML group), 6 mice in each group. Mice in the PM group and the PML group were exposed to PM_2.5 in a dynamic exposure cabinet for 6 h per day, 6 d a week for 7 consecutive weeks, and the PM_2.5 concentrations were approximately 8 times higher than the outdoor concentration. The LGG group and the PML group were orally administered with Lactobacillus rhamnosus while the NS group and the PM group were orally administered with the same amount of saline. Elevated plus maze test and open field test were used to detect depression and anxiety in mice. Fecal samples of mice were collected to evaluate intestinal flora abundance, diversity, and structure between groups using high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA. ELISA was employed to detect the levels of 5-HT in serum and hippocampus. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlations of differential intestinal flora with 5-HT level in hippocampus and depression- and anxiety-like behavior indicators in mice. Results The percentage of open-arm entry [M(P₂₅, P₇₅)] in the PM group was 0.0% (0.0%, 33.3%), lower than those in the NS group [47.7% (25.0%, 50.8%) ] and the PML group [46.9% (40.0%, 50.0%)], and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The total travelled distance and the time spent in central area (\begin{document}$\bar x \pm s $\end{document}) in the PM group were (2.01±0.90) m and (10.31±1.99) s respectively, shorter than those of the NS group [(3.80±0.89) m, (14.47±3.07) s], the total travelled distance in the PML group [(2.73±1.12) m] was shorter than those of the NS group and the LGG group [(4.21±1.08) m], and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared to the NS group, the Simpson index of the PM group significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared to the LGG group, the Simpson index of the PML group significantly decreased (P<0.05). The results of Beta diversity analysis showed that there were differences in the composition of intestinal flora among the four groups of mice. Compared with the NS group and the LGG group, the abundances of Erysipelotrichaceae and Dubosiella in the PM group and the PML group increased, while the abundances of Prevotellaceae_UCG-001 decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). In hippocampus, the level of 5-HT in the PM group [(135.02±10.31) μg·g⁻¹] was lower than those in the NS group [(178.77±43.15) μg·g⁻¹] and the LGG group [(224.85±22.98) μg·g⁻¹], and the level of 5-HT in the PML group [(161.27±15.81) μg·g⁻¹] was lower than that in the LGG group (P<0.05). 5-HT level in hippocampus was significantly positively correlated with the relative abundance of Prevotellaceae_UCG-001 (r=0.6090, P=0.012). The percentage of open-arm entry was significantly negatively correlated with the relative abundance of Dubosiella (r=−0.4630, P=0.023). Conclusion Atmospheric PM_2.5 exposure may cause depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. The observed behavior dysfunction may be associated with the changes in diversity and relative abundance of intestinal flora as well as the decrease of 5-HT level. Such depression- and anxiety-like behaviors are alleviated after adding probiotics.

OBJECTIVE: To develop a cell-based system for the diagnosis of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factor deficiency 1 (VKCFD1). METHODS: In HEK293 cells stably expressing the reporter gene FIX-Gla-PC, the gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) gene was knocked out by using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), DNA sequencing and Western blotting were used to identify the GGCX gene knockout cells. A quickchange point variant method was used to construct the GGCX variant. ELISA was used to assess the influence of GGCX variant on the activity of reporter gene. RESULTS: Two monoclonal cell lines with no reporter activity by ELISA was identified. Edition and knockout of the GGCX gene was confirmed by DNA sequencing and Western blotting. The activity of the reporter gene was recovered by transfection of the wild-type GGCX gene. Thereby two monoclonal cells with GGCX knockout were obtained. By comparing the wild-type and pathogenic GGCX variants, the reporter activity was decreased in the pathogenic variants significantly. CONCLUSION A cell-based system for the detection of GGCX activity was successfully developed, which can be used for the diagnosis of VKCFD1 caused by GGCX variants.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of the CT texture analysis (CTTA)in differentiating autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP)from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Methods 25 patients with AIP and 31 patients with PDAC who confirmed by pathological or clinical underwent pretreatment three-phase contrast-enhanced CT were enrolled.Histogram parameters (mean CT values,median CT values,25 th,75 th percentile CT values,skewness,kurtosis,entropy and uniformity)were derived from CT images through texture analysis.The differences of histogram parameters between AIP and PDAC groups were compared.ROC and AUC were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of histogram parameters in differentiating AIP from PDAC.Results The values for mean CT values,median CT values,25 th,75 th percentile CT values and uniformity of AIP were significantly higher than those of PDAC group,while the values for entropy of AIP were significantly lower than those of PDAC group in arterial phase,portal phase,and delay phases (all P＜0.05). There were no significant differences in kurtosis and skewness between AIP and PDAC groups (all P＞0.05).The uniformity in portal phase achieved the optimal diagnostic accuracy in differentiating AIP from PDAC (AUC＝0.973 ),the cutoff value was 0.797,the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 92% and 9 6.8%,respectively.Conclusion CTTA can be used as a quantitative analysis method for differential diagnosis between AIP and PDAC,providing a reference for clinicians to select therapeutic schedules.

The incidence of prostate cancer has shown an obvious upward trend in recent years.18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)is a broad-spectrum imaging agent for cancer,but there is a " blind zone" in the application of prostate cancer.Therefore,exploring prostate imaging agents with better performance can help to make up the deficiency.At present,there are a number of positron imaging agents for prostate cancer,but the overall advantage is not obvious.Recently,a new imaging agent,68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen(PSMA),has been demonstrated its better value in clinical application of prostate cancer.This review summarizes the research progress of 68 Ga-PSMA,

Objective To report a pedigree with tyrosinemia type Ⅱ,and to analyze its causative mutations.Methods Clinical data were obtained from a 10-year-old male proband with tyrosinemia type Ⅱ,and analyzed retrospectively.Blood and urine samples were collected from 19 persons in 3 generations of the pedigree,and the amino acid level was detected in these samples.Genomic DNA was extracted from all of the 19 family members,and mutations in the tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) gene were detected.Results The patient developed photophobia at 2 months after birth,and the symptom was gradually aggravated after that.At the age of 6 years,ocular pain and photophobia occurred.At the age of 8 years,linear keratotic plaques occurred on his fingertips and soles of both feet,with obvious tenderness.Ophthalmic examination showed no obvious abnormalities in corneal staining or ocular fundus.Skin examination showed multiple linear keratotic plaques on the fingers and soles of both feet.The serum tyrosine level was 825.64 μmol/L,and the level of p-hydroxyphenyllactic acid in urine was 161.4 μmol/L.Genetic testing showed 2 novel mutations,including c.236G ＞ A at position 236 in exon 2 of the TAT gene causing the substitution of glycine by glutamic acid (p.Gly79Glu),and c.1141G ＞ T at position 1141 in exon 10 of the TAT gene leading to the formation of a premature termination codon instead of glutamic acid (p.Glu381*).The proband was the only patient in the family.Some members in the patrilineal family carried the mutation c.1141G ＞ T (p.Glu381*),and some in the maternal family carried the mutation c.236G ＞ A (p.Gly79Glu).Conclusion This is the first case of tyrosinemia type Ⅱ reported in the domestic population,and 2 novel heterozygous mutations were identified in the TAT gene,which may lead to the occurrence of tyrosinemia type Ⅱ in the patient.
