【Objective】 To analyze the effects of different fortified feeding methods on nutritional metabolism and growth rate of preterm very low birth weight infants (VLBWI), in order to provide new clues for improving the prognosis of the preterm infants. 【Methods】 A total of 115 cases of premature VLBWI admitted to Department of Neonatology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2019 to December 2020 were included in this study, and were divided into fortified breastfeeding group (HFM group), mixed feeding group, and premature formula feeding group (PF group) based on their feeding methods. The effects of different feeding methods on the nutritional metabolism and growth rate of premature VLBWI were analyzed. 【Results】 1) The hospitalization time of infants in the HFM group was shorter than that in PF group and mixed feeding group (t=7.185, 6.924, P<0.05). 2) The proportion of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in the HFM group during hospitalization was lower than that in the PF group (P<0.05); the proportions of late onset septicemia(LOS) and extra uterine growth restriction(EUGR) in the HFM group during hospitalization were lower than those in the PF group (χ²=5.030, 4.147, P<0.05); the proportion of LOS was lower than that of the mixed feeding group(χ²=6.589, P<0.05). 3) During hospitalization, the proportions of abdominal distension, bloody stools and increased eosinophils in the HFM group were lower than those in the PF group (P<0.05), which in mixed feeding group was lower than those in PF group (Fisher exact test, P<0.05). 4) At discharge, the weight and length growth rate of the HFM group were higher than those of the mixed feeding group (t=3.722, 0.425, P<0.001) and the PF group (t =6.015, 0.496, P< 0.001). 【Conclusion】 Fortified breastfeeding can more effectively increase the growth rate of VLBWI in premature infants, improve nutritional metabolism, reduce complications and adverse feeding reactions related to premature infants, and is safer and more effective.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of serum matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) combined with anti-mutant citrulline vimentin antibody (anti-MCV) and rheumatoid factor (RF) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select 78 patients diagnosed with RA, 30 with Sjogren′s syndrome (SS), 25 with connective tissue disease (CTD), and 38 with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) from the Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Clinical College of Nanjing Medical University from August 2022 to April 2024. In the same period, 50 healthy controls were selected from the physical examination center of our hospital. Fasting peripheral blood RF, anti-streptolysin O (ASO), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte deposition rate (ESR), interleukin-6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT), anti-keratin antibody (AKA), anti-MCV, MMP-3, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) level. Fasting peripheral blood MMP-3 levels in SS, CTD, APS patients and healthy control group were compared, Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between MMP-3 levels and various indicators, and logistic regression analysis was used to screen the related influencing factors of RA occurrence. The diagnostic value of serum MMP-3, anti-MCV, RF and combined detection for RA was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:There were statistically significant differences in RF, CRP, ESR, IL6, AKA, antiMCV, MMP-3 and anti-CCP between RA group and healthy control group (all P<0.001), while there were no statistically significant differences in PCT and ASO between the RA group and the healthy control group (all P>0.05). Serum MMP-3 level in the RA group was significantly higher than that in SS, CTD, APS and healthy control group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). MMP-3 was positively correlated with anti-CCP, CRP, ESR, anti-MCV, RF and AKA ( r=0.403, 0.532, 0.530, 0.431, 0.427, 0.391, all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MMP-3 ( OR=1.082, P=0.02), anti-MCV ( OR=1.015, P=0.049) and RF ( OR=1.046, P=0.036) were independent risk factors for RA. ROC curve showed that when the cut-off value of MMP-3 was 53.10 ng/ml, the area under the curve for diagnosing RA was 0.889, the sensitivity was 74.5%, and the specificity was 96.0%. The area under ROC curve of MMP-3 combined with anti-MCV and RF for the diagnosis of RA was 0.975, the sensitivity was 88.2%, and the specificity was 99.7%. Conclusions:MMP-3 has a certain value in the differential diagnosis of RA, and MMP-3 combined with anti-MCV and RF is of great significance in the auxiliary diagnosis of RA.

Wound healing is a complex process of biological integration in which the adverse conditions such as excessive inflammatory reactions, cell proliferation and migration disorders, and cellular secretion impairment can lead to refractory wounds. Characterized by complex etiology, protracted condition, and high morbidity and recurrence rate, refractory wounds severely impair patients′ physical and mental health. In clinical practice, refractory wounds are primarily treated with surgical debridement and skin transplantation, but there still exist problems such as large surgical wounds, prolonged recovery time, and high recurrence rate. In recent years, owing to the multipotent differentiation, immunomodulatory, and paracrine functions of stem cells, cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL) technique, which involves intra-body injection of a mixture of autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and granular fat for refractory wound repair, has demonstrated promising application prospects. It is of great significance in its clinical application to clarify the mechanism of effects of CAL technique in refractory wound repair. The authors reviewed the research progress in the mechanism of effects of CAL technique in repairing refractory wounds to provide references for the research and treatment of refractory wounds.

Objective To investigate the impact of hemoglobin(Hb)level on the risk of all-cause mortality in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease(SCAD)treated by percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 195 elderly SCAD patients treated by PCI in our hospital from June 2016 to December 2017,a total of 180 case were followed up.They were divided into four groups based on quartiles of Hb levels:Q1 group[≤122(108.28±12.53)g/L,n=47],Q2 group[122＜Hb≤137(130.07±4.33)g/L,n=43],Q3 group[137＜Hb≤148(142.67±3.10)g/L,n=46],and Q4 group[＞148(158.36±8.50)g/L,n=44].Their clinical data were collected and compared among the groups.All patients were followed up,with all-cause mortality as endpoint.Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of Hb level on all-cause mortality in elderly SCAD patients treated by PCI.Results For the 180 patients with complete follow-up,the median follow-up time was 703(415,1121)d,and the incidence of all-cause mortality was 10.00％(totally 18 deaths).And the incidence was 25.50％(12 deaths),7.00％(3 death),4.30％(2 deaths)and 2.30％(1 death)in Q1,Q2,Q3,and Q4 groups,respectively,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.01).Univariate Cox regression analysis showed age was a risk factor for all-cause death(P＜0.01),while Hb level,BMI,smoking history,dyslipidemia,and aspirin use were a risk facotr for all-cause death(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Further multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed Hb level was a risk facotr for all-cause death(HR=0.96,95％CI:0.93-0.99,P＜0.01).The risk of all-cause mortality was 3.68 times higher in the Q1 group than the Q2 group(HR=3.68,95％CI:1.01-13.45,P＜0.05),and there was no correlation in the incidence between the Q3 and Q4 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Low Hb level is an independent predictor for all-cause mortality in elderly SCAD pa-tients after PCI.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of ultrasound- and arthrography-assisted Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of Jakob type Ⅱ lateral condylar humerus fracture (LCHF) in children. METHODS: A clinical data of 101 children with Jakob type Ⅱ LCHF, who met the selection criteria and were admitted between April 2021 and April 2022, was retrospectively analyzed. Of them, 47 cases were treated with ultrasound-assisted Kirschner wire fixation (group A), and 54 cases with arthrography-assisted surgery (group B). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, fracture side, and disease duration between groups (P>0.05). Intraoperative fluoroscopy times, operation time, and hospital stay, Flynn elbow joint function score, and postoperative complications were recorded and compared between groups. X-ray examination was performed to observe the healing of fracture, and measure the carrying angle and the shaft-condylar angle (SCA). RESULTS: The success rate of closed reduction was significantly higher in group A than in group B (P<0.05), and the intraoperative fluoroscopy times was significantly less in group A than in group B (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in operation time and hospital stay between groups (P>0.05). All children in both groups were followed up 12-18 months, with an average of 13.6 months. X-ray reexamination showed that the fractures of both groups healed, and the difference in healing time was not significant (P>0.05). At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in carrying angle and SCA between unaffected side and affected side in both groups and between groups A and B in affected side (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in Flynn elbow joint function score between groups (P>0.05). There were 18 cases of lateral spurs formation in group A, 1 case of pinning infection and 26 cases of lateral spurs formation in group B, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of the above complications (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with the arthrography, the ultrasound-assisted Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of Jakob type Ⅱ LCHF in children can avoid the open reduction and decrease the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy, and obtain the good effectiveness.

Objective:To investigate the hemodynamic characteristics of the lenticulostriate artery (LSA) in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) patients with recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI) using 7.0 T two-dimensional phase-contrast MRI (2D PC-MRI).Methods:A total of 16 CSVD patients with deep RSSI and 18 age-and sex-matched healthy controls (HC group) meeting the inclusion criteria were prospectively recruited from July 2021 to June 2022 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. All participants underwent 7.0 T 2D PC-MRI with imaging plane localized at the level of the basal ganglia. A self-developed software (Flow analyze V1.0) was used to analyze the hemodynamic status of bilateral LSAs. The hemodynamic parameters including the maximum velocity (V max), average velocity (V avg), pulsatility index (PI), and resistance index (RI) of LSAs were calculated and recorded. As for the CSVD cases, the symptomatic side was defined as the ipsilateral side to the RSSI (CSVD symptomatic-side group), and the contralateral side was defined as the asymptomatic side (CSVD asymptomatic-side group). ANOVA or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare hemodynamic parameters among the three groups. Results:Significant differences in V max, V avg and PI were observed among the CSVD symptomatic-side group, CSVD asymptomatic-side group, and HC group ( F=5.22, P=0.006; F=3.47, P=0.033; F=4.37, P=0.014). Specifically, CSVD symptomatic-side group showed significantly reduced V max ( P=0.004) and V avg ( P=0.017), and increased PI ( P=0.007) compared to the HC group. The CSVD asymptomatic-side group showed decreased V max ( P=0.026) and increased PI ( P=0.039) compared to the HC group. Conclusions:Hemodynamic assessment based on 7.0 T 2D PC-MRI reveal that CSVD patients with RSSI decrease blood flow velocity and increase arterial PI of LSAs. These findings suggest potential corresponding hemodynamic mechanisms associated with CSVD with RSSI lesions.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic significance of anemia in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease treated by percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, 180 patients with stable coronary artery disease aged ≥60 years undergone percutaneous coronary intervention and with complete clinical data, admitted to Nanjing Meishan Hospital between June 2016 and December 2017, were selected.Baseline clinical data of the patients were collected, including hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, lipids, fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, blood creatinine, and left ventricular ejection fraction on cardiac color ultrasound.The endpoints of the follow-up included major adverse cardiac events(MACE), such as all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke.According to the hemoglobin level, participants were divided into an anemia group(n=32)and a non-anemia group(n=148). Clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate analysis with the Cox regression method were used to evaluate the effect of anemia on the occurrence of MACE in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease treated by PCI.Results:The median duration of the follow-up of the 180 patients was 702.5 days and MACE occurred in 27(15.0%). Compared with the non-anemia group, the anemia group had a higher age, C-reactive protein level and MACE ratio, lower levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the glomerular filtration rate, and higher proportions of patients with smoking history and patients with dyslipidemia( P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier curves suggested that the incidence of MACE in the anemia group was higher than that in the non-anemia group[37.5%(12/32) vs.10.1%(15/148), P<0.05]. Multivariate analysis with the Cox regression method showed that the risk of MACE in the anemia group was 2.91 times higher than that in the non-anemia group( HR=2.91, 95% CI: 1.13-7.48, P<0.05). Conclusions:Anemia is an independent predictor of MACE in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease after PCI.

The adipose-derived stem cell exosomes are subcellular structures of adipose stem cells. They are nano-sized membrane vesicles that can transport various cell components and act on target cells by paracrine, and they play an important role in the exchanges of substance and information between cells. Scar healing is the commonest way of healing after skin tissue injury. Pathological scar can not only cause movement dysfunction, but also lead to deformity, which affects the appearance of patients and brings life and mental pressure to the patients. In recent years, many researches have shown that the adipose-derived stem cell exosomes contain a variety of bioactive molecules, which play an important role in reducing scar formation and scar-free wound healing, by affecting the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and the composition of extracellular matrix. This article reviewed the recent literature on the roles and mechanisms of adipose-derived stem cell exosomes in scar formation, and prospected the future application and development of adipose-derived stem cell exosomes in scar treatment.
