Objective:To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of children diagnosed with Noonan-syndrome associated with loose anagen hair (NS-LAH).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 5 children diagnosed with NS-LAH by the Endocrinology Department of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2018 to June 2024. This analysis encompassed the patients′ demographic information, clinical manifestations, distinguishing features, treatment regimens, and prognostic outcomes to elucidate their clinical characteristics. Additionally, whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were utilized to investigate the genetic etiology within the families, and the identified variations were interpreted according to the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics.Results:Among the 5 NS-LAH patients, there were 3 boys and 2 girls, with ages at diagnosis ranging from 2.3 to 7.7 years old. All patients presented with short stature as a primary complaint. Birth histories were generally unremarkable, though case 2 and 5 of macrosomia were noted. In addition to the characteristic facial features of Noonan syndrome, short stature, and varying degrees of intellectual and motor developmental delay, all 5 patients exhibited sparse hair that was easily shed, as well as enlarged head circumferences. Four patients showed structural cardiac abnormalities, which included a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, 2 cases of atrial septal defect, and 1 case of patent foramen ovale. Genetic analysis revealed heterozygous missense variantion in SHOC2 gene in 4 patients, comprising 3 cases with c.4A>G (p.S2G) and one case with c.519G>C (p.M173I). Additionally, one patient was found to have a heterozygous missense variantion c.146C>G (p.P49R) in PPP1CB gene. Three children were diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency and treated with growth hormone for 1.7, 2.7 and 0.5 years. This resulted in significant improvements in height, with annual increases of 11.8, 8.4 and 13.0 cm, respectively. Among the 4 patients with SHOC2 variantions, 2 developed systemic lupus erythematosus and 1 exhibited symptoms of arthritis.Conclusions:Growth failure is the primary complaint in patients with NS-LAH. Key characteristic findings include enlarged head circumference and sparse, loose hair. Growth hormone deficiency is commonly associated with NS-LAH, and growth hormone therapy is generally effective. Furthermore, patients carrying the classic variantion in SHOC2 (c.4A>G) may have an increased risk of developing autoimmune diseases.

AIM:To explore the molecular mechanism by which treadmill exercise reshapes the homeostasis of mitochondrial dynamics and alleviates depression-like behavior.METHODS:The mouse model of depression-like be-havior was established by electronic foot shock plus restraint stress.The depression-like mice were intervened with tread-mill exercise.The neurobehavior of mice was evaluated using the open field test and elevated plus-maze test,neuronal in-jury was detected by Nissl staining and TUNEL,and the expression of mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins was detect-ed by Western blot and immunofluorescence.RESULTS:Five weeks of electronic foot shock plus restraint stress success-fully established the depression-like mouse model,and neurobehavioral tests showed that the mice exhibited depression-like behaviors.In depression-like mice,neuronal synapses were degraded and neuronal apoptosis increased,while tread-mill exercise reduced neuronal damage and alleviated abnormal neurobehavior in depression-like mice.The mechanism study shows that the expression of mitochondrial fission-related protein 1(Fis1)and dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1)in-volved in mitochondrial division is up-regulated,and the expression of mitofusin 2(MFN2)and optic atrophy 1 protein(OPA1)involved in mitochondrial fusion is down-regulated in the cerebral cortex of depression-like mice.Notably,tread-mill exercise reverses the expression of these mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins and reshapes the homeostasis of mi-tochondrial dynamics.CONCLUSION:Mitochondrial dynamics disorder is involved in the pathological process of neu-robehavioral changes in mice with depression-like behavior.Treadmill exercise reshapes the homeostasis of mitochondrial dynamics and alleviates depression-like behavior.This study provides a scientific reference for the clinical application of exercise therapy as an adjuvant therapy in the intervention of diseases associated with depression-like behavior.

Objective:To construct curved microgrooves with gradient surface roughness on polycaprolactone (PCL) members by regulating alkali etching time and to investigate the synergistic effect of surface roughness and curved microgrooves on the in vitro osteogenic differentiation of mouse pre-osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1), aiming to determine the optimal PCL surface modification strategy. Methods:Soft lithography and melt-casting techniques were used to fabricate PCL membranes with regularly arranged curved microgrooves (CMP). Alkali etching was performed for 24, 48, and 72 h. Groups: smooth PCL (control), CMP (curved microgrooves only), CMP-24 h, CMP-48 h, CMP-72 h (CMP etched for 24, 48, 72 h, respectively). Surface physicochemical properties were characterized: surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface roughness was measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and surface hydrophilicity was evaluated by contact angle measurement. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in vitro. Cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation were assessed using cell counting (CCK-8), immunofluorescence staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin red staining with quantification. The mRNA expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes [ALP, collagen type Ⅰ (COL-1), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN)] were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Results:Curved microgrooves were successfully fabricated on PCL membranes. Alkali treatment improved surface hydrophilicity and increased roughness. The CMP-72 h group exhibited the best hydrophilicity (contact angle: 33.2°±5.5°), with significant differences compared to all other groups (all P<0.05). The CMP-72 h group showed the highest roughness [(59.966±4.729) nm], which was significantly different from all other groups (all P<0.05). CCK-8 results on day 5 showed that both curved microgrooves and roughness promoted cell proliferation: CMP-24 h (0.292±0.003) and CMP-72 h (0.383±0.004) were significantly higher than those in the smooth group (0.270±0.005) (all P<0.05). Immunofluorescence staining revealed that curved microgrooves induced significant contact guidance of cells; this effect weakened with increasing etching time. ALP and Alizarin red staining indicated the deepest osteogenic staining in the CMP-48 h group. Both ALP activity (0.013 021±0.000 032) and Alizarin red quantification (0.290±0.003) were highest in the CMP-48 h group, significantly different from all other groups (all P<0.05). RUNX-2 expression in CMP-24 h and CMP-48 h groups (1.845±0.087 and 1.837±0.027, respectively) was significantly higher than in other groups (all P<0.05), with no significant difference between these two groups ( P>0.05). CMP-48 h group exhibited the highest mRNA expression of all osteogenic genes tested, specifically ALP (2.194±0.028), COL-1 (1.983±0.024), OCN (7.644±0.156), and OPN (2.648±0.031), all significantly greater than other groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Both curved microgrooves and surface roughness modification enhance the in vitro osteogenic differentiation of cells on PCL membranes. Among the tested strategies, alkali etching of curved microgrooves for 48 hours (CMP-48h) provided the optimal enhancement of osteogenic capability for MC3T3-E1 cells and represented a promising surface modification strategy for future PCL membranes.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.
