Objective: To characterize longitudinal trajectories of testicular development in boys and breast development in girls, so as to provide reference data for understanding patterns of pubertal sexual maturation. Methods: Based on the Shanghai Pudong New Area Cohort Study on Growth, Development and Health in Children and Adolescents, a baseline survey was conducted in 2020 using a mult stage cluster random sampling method. A total of 2 184 children who completed all follow ups during the primary school period from 13 elementary schools in Pudong New Area,Shanghai,with annual follow ups during 2021-2025. Testicular volume and Tanner stage of breast development were assessed by professional physicians using standardized visual inspection and palpation. The age distribution of testicular volume and breast development was fitted by using cumulative link mixed models and Turnbull s nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method. Results: Median ages for testicular volumes of 2, 3, 4 and 5 mL in boys were 7.07, 9.24, 10.29, and 11.57 years old, respectively. Median ages for Tanner breast stages Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ in girls were 8.55 , 10.17, 11.18, and 13.78 years old, respectively. Based on overweight and obesity, stratified analysis showed that earlier pubertal onset among overweight/obesity children, and the key milestones for pubertal initiation were testicular volume reaching 4 mL in boys and breast Tanner II in girls for 10.29, 10.83; 8.18, 9.00 years. Conclusion Overweight and obesity are associated with earlier pubertal initiation,but there are certain gender and developmental stage specific patterns.

ObjectiveThis study systematically analyzed the arginine metabolic dysregulation in the rat model of heart failure （HF）， providing a modern scientific basis for elucidating the pathogenesis of HF and offering new insights for the prevention and treatment of HF with traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. MethodsA thoracotomy was performed to ligate the left anterior descending coronary artery of rats， which induced acute myocardial ischemia and thus led to the development of post-myocardial infarction heart failure. The rats were divided into a sham surgery group and a model group， with eight rats in each group. Serum targeted metabolomics analysis was performed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry （UPLC-TQ-S）， and the spatial distribution of metabolites in cardiac tissue was observed using airflow-assisted desorption electrospray ionizationmass spectrometry imaging （AFADESI-MSI）. Targets associated with HF and arginine metabolism were screened from databases including GeneCards and the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO）， a protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was constructed， and enrichment analysis of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway and Gene Ontology （GO） was performed. Finally， molecular docking was conducted to verify the binding between core metabolic components and key targets， and potential TCMs were predicted based on the core pathways and targets. ResultsCompared with the sham surgery group， the levels of arginine and citrulline in the serum of model rats were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， while those of proline， ornithine， creatine， creatinine and glutamate were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Cardiac mass spectrometry imaging showed a decreased abundance of arginine in the local myocardial tissue. Bioinformatics analysis identified 24 core functional targets， such as the angiotensin-converting enzyme （ACE）， neuronal nitric oxide synthase （NOS1）， 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A （HTR2A）， and epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR）， and enrichment analysis indicated that these targets were significantly involved in the calcium signaling pathway， neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions， and phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway. Molecular docking confirmed strong binding activities between arginine， citrulline and HTR2A， as well as between creatine， creatinine and EGFR. Based on pathway-target prediction， potential TCM interventions， such as ginseng and magnolia， were identified. ConclusionThis study revealed characteristic arginine metabolic disorder in HF， and the core targets of HF were closely associated with the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway. It provides a modern biological interpretation of the pathogenesis of HF in TCM from the perspectives of metabolites and signaling pathways， and offers valuable insights for targeted therapy of HF and the development of TCM.

This report described the multidisciplinary management of a preterm infant with congenital tracheal agenesis (TA). The infant, delivered via cesarean section at 32 +5 weeks' gestation, had Apgar scores of 6 and 8 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Although skin color improved after 30 seconds of bag-mask ventilation, the infant exhibited no cry, weak spontaneous breathing, and failed multiple intubation attempts. The patient was transferred to Anhui Children's Hospital of Fudan University under continuous bag-mask positive-pressure ventilation at 3 hours after birth (September 10, 2024). Combined imaging and fiberoptic bronchoscopy confirmed TA (Floyd type Ⅱ/Faro type C) with multiple anomalies, including duodenal atresia, aortic coarctation, and butterfly vertebrae. Whole-genome sequencing revealed a suspected mosaic SCN2A c.5317G>A variant (wild-type parents) and an ERCC5 c.2974C>T heterozygous variant inherited from the mother (homozygous). Following esophageal intubation, invasive mechanical ventilation, and continuous gastrointestinal decompression, respiratory distress significantly improved with a stabilized condition. The infant died 30 hours after birth following treatment withdrawal.

Objective Cigarette smoke(CS)exposure combined with Klebsiella pneumoniae(KP)infection in mice was used to establish a model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)to investigate the mechanism of airway remodeling.Methods Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a Control group,CS group,KP group,and CS+KP group.The mice were exposed to CS,KP,and CS+KP from weeks 1 to 8,and were sacrificed in weeks 4,8,16,and 24.MV,Penh,MLI,MAN,and changes in lung pathological structure were detected.The expression levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in lung tissue were detected by ELISA.Collagen deposition was observed by Masson staining and immunohistochemistry.α-SMA and TGF-β1 expression in lung tissue was detected by immunofluorescence.Human bronchial epithelioid cells(16HBE)were also stimulated by CS and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)in vitro,and the expression levels of airway epithelial junction proteins,autophagy-related protein,and mTOR signaling proteins were detected.Results Compared with the Control group,the CS+KP group mice had significantly decreased MV from weeks 4 to 24(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01)and significantly increased Penh from weeks 8 to 24(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);while the CS group had markedly decreased MV and markedly increased Penh from weeks 8 to 16(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Compared with the Control group,massive inflammatory cell infiltration,alveolar wall thickening,alveolar rupture and fusion,and airway wall thickening were observed by HE staining in CS+KP group from weeks 4 to 24.The CS+KP group mice had significantly decreased MAN and significantly increased MLI,IL-1β and TNF-α in their lung tissue from weeks 4 to 24(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The aforementioned inflammation and tissue damage were observed in the CS group and the KP group from week 8 to 16.Compared with the Control group,COL Ⅰ,COL Ⅲ,α-SMA,and TGF-β1 were significantly increased in lung tissue of mice in the CS+KP group from weeks 8 to 16(P＜0.01);COL Ⅰ was significantly increased in the CS group and KP group from weeks 8 to 16(P＜0.01).In addition,increased E-cad and decreased N-cad(P＜0.05);significantly decreased LC3B and Beclin-1(P＜0.05);and significantly increased p-mTORC1,p-P70-S6K,and p-4E-BP1 expression were observed in 16HBE cells exposed to CS and LPS(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion Pulmonary functional decline,pathological changes in lung tissue,and airway remodeling appeared to occur early and persist in COPD mice induced by CS and KP.The mechanisms may be related to the activation of mTORC1 signaling pathway and subsequent inhibition of autophagy.

Objective To explore the prognostic value of combined serum oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL),remnant cholesterol(RC)and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)tests for clinical prognosis in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis(ICAS).Methods Patients with acute cerebral infarction were admitted to Cangzhou Central Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023 and diagnosed with ICAS by head MRI.A clinical diagnosis was selected(observation group,n=160).According to the modified Rankin scale(mRS)score,they were separated into a good prognosis group(mRS 0～2 points,n=52)and a poor prognosis group(mRS≥3 points,n=108).160 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations were used as a reference group.Magnetic particle immunochromatography was applied to detect serum ox-LDL levels.Clinical data of patients were collected,and the levels of RC and NLR were calculated.The Spearman method was used to analyze the correlation between serum ox-LDL,RC,NLR levels and mRS scores.Logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors influencing prognosis in ICAS patients.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was used to analyze the predictive value of serum ox-LDL,RC and NLR levels for the prognosis of ICAS patients.Results Compared with reference group,the serum levels of ox-LDL(53.65±8.35 U/L vs 33.23±6.42 U/L),RC(0.82±0.15 mmol/L vs 0.52±0.13 mmol/L)and NLR(2.84±0.38 vs 1.95±0.26)in observation group were obviously increased,and the differences were statistically significant(t=24.523,65.079,62.911,all P<0.05).The serum levels of ox-LDL(57.52±8.72 U/L),RC(0.84±0.14 mmol/L)and NLR(3.02±0.45)in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group(45.62±6.63 U/L,0.79±0.12 mmol/L,2.48±0.36),and the differences were statistically significant(t=8.699,8.507,7.562,all P＜0.05),and there were differences in TC,LDL-C,HDL-C levels and mRS scores between the two groups,and the differences were statistically significant(t=15.755～27.072,all P<0.05).The serum levels of ox-LDL,RC,NLR were positively correlated with mRS scores(r=0.612,0.623,0.653,all P<0.05).The levels of TC,LDL-C,HDL-C,ox-LDL,RC and NLR were all factors that affected the prognosis of ICAS(all P<0.05).The AUC of serum ox-LDL,RC and NLR for predicting prognosis in ICAS patients were 0.894(0.835～0.937),0.860(0.797～0.910)and 0.817(0.748～0.874),respectively.The combined AUC(95%CI)of the three was 0.965(0.923～0.987),the combination of the three was more valuable than predicting serum ox-LDL,RC and NLR alone(Z=3.030,3.969,4.839,all P<0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of ox-LDL,RC and NLR in ICAS patients have all increased and are positively correlated with mRs scores.The three have predictive value for the prognosis of ICAS patients,and the combined detection of the three has higher clinical value.

Objective To investigate the effect of miR-486-5P on ferroptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes after hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R),and to analyze its mechanism.Methods Using H9c2 cardiomyocytes as the research object,a H/R injury model was established using cobalt chloride(CoCl2)and fresh culture medium.The cells were divided into control group,H/R group,H/R+miR-486-5P mimic NC group,H/R+miR-486-5P mimic group,H/R+miR-486-5P inhibitor NC group and H/R+miR-486-5P inhibitor group.The relative expression level of miR-486-5P was detected by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method.The activities or levels of lactate dehydrogen-ase(LDH),glutathione(GSH),Fe2+and malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected by colorimetric method.The levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)were detected by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe and JC-1 assay,respectively.Western blot was used to detect the levels of AkT/mTOR signaling pathway proteins and ferroptosis related protein solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11),glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)and acyl-coa synthetase long chain family member 4(ACSL4).Results Compared with the control group,the level of miR-486-5P and cell viability in the H/R group de-creased significantly(P＜0.05),while LDH activity,MDA,Fe2+level,ROS level and ACSL4 protein level in-creased significantly(P＜0.05).The GSH,MMP,SLC7A11 and GPX4 levels and p-Akt/Akt and p-mTOR/mTOR ratios were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).After H/R treatment,compared with the H/R+miR-486-5P mimic NC group,the cell viability of the H/R+miR-486-5P mimic group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).The LDH activity,MDA,Fe2+level,ROS level and ACSL4 protein level were significantly de-creased(P＜0.05),while GSH,MMP,SLC7A11 and GPX4 levels and p-Akt/Akt and p-mTOR/mTOR ratios were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the H/R+miR-486-5P inhibitor NC group,the trend of the above indicators in the H/R+miR-486-5P inhibitor group was opposite.Conclusion miR-486-5P allevi-ates hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced ferroptosis in H9c2 cells by regulating Akt/mTOR signaling pathway,and thus alleviates hypoxia/reoxygenation induced cardiomyocyte injury.

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.

Objective:To investigate the specific mechanisms underlying the protective effect of interleukin (IL) -27 in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.Methods:Five skin tissue samples from healthy individuals and 6 lesional skin samples from psoriasis patients were collected, and IL-27 expression was determined by immunohistochemical staining. Il27ra gene knockout (KO) mice were constructed. Psoriasis-like mouse models were established with topical imiquimod in 5 wild-type (WT) mice and 6 KO mice. Mouse skin lesions were evaluated using the modified Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (mPASI), and lesional skin tissues were collected for hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining to observe changes in epidermal thickness. Single-cell suspensions were prepared with skin lesions and skin-draining lymph nodes of 4 WT mice and 3 KO mice, and changes in immune cells (including T cells, γδ T cells, and neutrophils) were analyzed using flow cytometry. Additionally, skin-draining lymph node cells were isolated from 9 normal WT mice, and IL-17A expression was stimulated using a T-cell receptor agonist (CD3/28 activating antibodies, αCD3/28) or cytokines (IL-23 + IL-1β), followed by the addition of IL-27; peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 6 psoriasis patients, and IL-17A expression was stimulated using the T-cell receptor agonist, followed by the addition of IL-27; the effect of IL-27 on IL-17A expression in T cells was analyzed using flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Measurement data were compared between two groups using the t test. Results:Immunohistochemical staining revealed a significant reduction in IL-27 expression in psoriatic lesions (mean fluorescence intensity: 9.85 ± 3.07) compared with the normal skin (19.45 ± 2.51, t = 5.60, P < 0.001). Animal experiments demonstrated that the KO mice exhibited significantly aggravated psoriasis-like skin inflammation (mPASI: 4.00 ± 0.89) and significantly increased epidermal thickness (115.50 ± 7.69 μm) compared with the WT mice (mPASI: 2.80 ± 0.84, t = 2.28, P = 0.049; epidermal thickness: 92.26 ± 8.76 μm, t = 4.70, P = 0.001) ; compared with the WT mice, the KO mice showed significantly increased proportions of T cells (11.22% ± 2.76% vs. 7.08% ± 0.85%) and dermal γδ T cells (4.78% ± 0.39% vs. 2.78% ± 0.49%) among live cells in the lesions ( t = 2.91, 2.75, respectively, both P < 0.05), as well as significantly increased proportions of Th17, IL-17 + γδ T, Th22, and IL-22 + γδ T cells in the skin-draining lymph nodes (all P < 0.05), but no significant difference in the proportion of neutrophils in the lesions (WT: 13.57% ± 8.36%, KO: 14.43% ± 9.13%; t = 0.13, P = 0.902). Experiments with different stimuli showed that IL-27 significantly suppressed T-cell receptor agonist-induced IL-17A expression in murine γδ T cells (αCD3/28 group: 1.00 ± 0.11, αCD3/28 + IL-27 group: 0.76 ± 0.13; t = 3.54, P = 0.004), while there was no significant difference in IL-17A expression between cells induced by IL-23 + IL-1β with the IL-27 co-culture and those without ( t = 1.34, P > 0.05). ELISA showed that IL-27 significantly reduced the IL-17A concentration in the culture supernatant of draining lymph node cells stimulated by the T-cell receptor agonist (αCD3/28 group: 1 535.00 ± 97.76 pg/ml, αCD3/28 + IL-27 group: 1 030.00 ± 287.90 pg/ml, t = 3.29, P = 0.031), but did not reduce the IL-17A concentration induced by IL-23 + IL-1β ( t = 0.09, P > 0.05). Flow cytometry indicated that IL-27 significantly inhibited the T-cell receptor agonist-induced IL-17A expression in T cells from psoriasis patients (αCD3/28 group: 4.28 ± 3.25, αCD3/28 + IL-27 group: 3.04 ± 2.65, t = 4.46, P = 0.007) . Conclusion:IL-27 appeared to play a protective role in psoriasis by suppressing IL-17A secretion from T cells.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum levels of soluble scavenger receptor 163 (sCD163),angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) before and after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and their correlation with prognosis. Methods A total of 60 ACI patients accepted by Cangzhou Central Hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were collected as the ACI group,and another 60 healthy individuals were regarded as the control group. According to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score after admission,60 patients were divided into mild group (n=10),moderate group (n=38) and severe group (n=12).According to the scores on the modified Rankin scale 90 days after thrombolysis,patients were separated into a good prognosis group (n=42) and a poor prognosis group (n=18). The serum levels of sCD163 and ANGPTL3 were detected using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyze the predictive value of serum sCD163 and ANGPTL3 levels for the prognosis of ACI patients after intravenous thrombolysis therapy. Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum sCD163 (687.55±86.43 ng/ml vs 411.07±58.24 ng/ml) and ANGPTL3 (60.28±10.55 mg/L vs 25.34±5.93 mg/L) in ACI group were significantly increased,and the differences were significant (t=20.549,22.363,all P<0.05). The levels of serum sCD163 (551.65±69.66 ng/ml,668.92±81.12 ng/ml,859.79±117.24 ng/ml) and ANGPTL3 (44.52±8.12 mg/L,58.67±10.37 mg/L,75.34±13.12 mg/L) in mild,moderate and severe groups were gradually increased,and the differences were significant (F=36.011,23.007,all P<0.05). Compared with the good prognosis group,the proportion of time from onset to thrombolysis≥ 3 h,the proportion of NIHSS score>10 at admission,and the serum sCD163 and ANGPTL3 levels before and after thrombolysis were significantly increased in the poor prognosis group,and the differences were statistically significant (t/x2=5.644,4.775,8.982,10.866,10.293,9.702,all P<0.05). ROC results showed that the area under the curves(95％ confidence intervals)[AUC(95％CI)]of serum sCD163 and ANGPTL3 level alone in predicting the prognosis of ACI patients were 0.830 (0.711～0.915) and 0.783 (0.658～0.879),and their sensitivity and specificity were 72.22％ and 85.71％,77.78％ and 85.71％,respectively. The AUC(95％CI)of combined prediction of serum sCD163 and ANGPTL3 in predicting the prognosis of ACI patients[0.950(0.861～0.990)]was obviously greater than the AUC predicted by sCD163 and ANGPTL3 alone (Z=2.378,2.109,P=0.017,0.035). Conclusion sCD163 and ANGPTL3 levels are elevated in the serum of ACI patients,and are related to their severity and prognosis.
