Systemic lupus erythematosus （SLE） may lead to secondary gynecological and obstetric disorders such as decreased ovarian reserve function， menstrual abnormalities， and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Based on "bi （痹） of both body and viscera" theory， this paper proposed that the core mechanism of SLE secondary gynecological and obstetric diseases lies in the mutual transformation between "body bi" and "viscera bi"， which together affect the uterus. Physiologically， uterus forms an internal-external network with the body and viscera through the meridians and blood vessels. Pathologically， when the healthy qi is deficient， nourishment of the body and viscera is impaired； when toxins and stasis accumulate， pathogenic factors disturb the uterus through the chong （冲） and ren （任） meri-dians. The resulting obstruction in the uterus can， in turn， manifest externally and aggravate damage to the body and viscera. Therefore， the pathogenesis of SLE secondary gynecological and obstetric diseases follows a dynamic trajectory of "body bi first， body bi affecting viscera， and then bi of both body and viscera". In treatment， the principle of harmonizing and balancing the healthy qi is emphasized. The main approach is to regulate the viscera， stabilize the body， and nourish the uterus， with the coordination of nourishing the viscera through the body， thereby achieving simultaneous treatment of both body and viscera. This highlights the guiding significance of the "bi of both body and viscera" theory in preventing and treating SLE secondary gynecological and obstetric diseases.

Objective:To analyze the genetic characteristics of clinical manifestations in children with KBG syndrome due to microdeletions.Methods:A retrospective case summary was conducted. Four children diagnosed with KBG syndrome due to 16q24.3 microdeletion at Children′s Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2021 to April 2024 were enrolled.Their clinical manifestations, biochemical parameters, imaging data, whole-exome sequencing results, treatments and follow-up outcomes were reviewed.Results:The cohort included two males and two females (diagnosed at 81, 18, 26, and 56 months of age, respectively), from four unrelated families. All patients exhibited peculiar facial features (Cupid′s bowed-shaped lips, prominent ears, thick eyebrows), skeletal abnormalities (brachydactyly, abnormal ribs, short stature, etc.), ocular anomalies (astigmatism, strabismus, amblyopia, etc.), intrauterine growth restriction, and developmental retardation. Case 2, 3, 4 had cranial imaging abnormalities, including thin anterior pituitary lobes with pineal cyst, left ventricular cyst, and abnormal pituitary stalk or lateral ventricles with sinusitis, respectively. Two children had intellectual disability, two had congenital heart disease, and one had delayed bone age and hair abnormalities. Whole exome genomic sequencing confirmed 16q24.3 microdeletions encompassing ANKRD11 gene in all four cases. Two children treated with recombinant human growth hormone achieved height increments of 1.5 s and 0.4 s, respectively. Conclusions:Typical features of 16q24.3 microdeletion-induced KBG syndrome include peculiar facial features, macrodontia, skeletal anomalies, neurological abnormalities, and ocular defects. Genetic testing is essential for definitive diagnosis. The treatment of KBG syndrome requires early diagnosis and multidisciplinary collaboration to implement individualized treatment for multisystem symptoms.

Objective To find the relationship between phthalates(PAEs)metabolite concentrations and body mass index(BMI)in infertile patients.Methods From December 2018 to January 2021,120 infertile pa-tients were selected from the Reproductive Medicine Centre of the 988th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Reproductive Medicine Centre of the Henan Provincial People's Hospital,while 60 patients with no history of infertility and normal weight were selected from the Medical Check-up Centre as the normal group.According to BMI index,the infertility patients were divided into the control group(BMI＜28 kg/m2),obesity group(obesity,BMI≥28 kg/m2).The obesity group was divided into BHI(BMI≥32 kg/m2)and BH2(BMI≥28 kg/m2,＜32 kg/m2).The basic information of each group was collected.Serum level of PAEs metabolites diethyl phthalate(DEP),dibutyl phthalate(DBP)and di-isooctyl phthalate(DEHP)was detected using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry(HPLC).The rela-tionship between PAEs metabolite concentration and body mass index(BMI)were analyzed by Spearman's analysis.Results The serum level of DEP,DBP and DEHP was significantly higher in obese group than in the control group(P＜0.05).The serum level of DEP,DBP and DEHP was significantly higher in the control group than in the normal group(P＜0.05);The metabolites level of PAEs was higher in patients with BHI than in the patients with BH2(P＜0.05).Spearman's analysis showed that the BMI of the patients in the obese group of infertility was positively correlated with DEP,DBP and DEHP content(P＜0.05).Conclusions Obesity and PAEs metabolite concentration in infertility patients are related,the higher the degree of obesity,the higher the content of related metabolites.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of the detection kit based on MicroDrop microdroplet digital PCR platform that can identify mycoplasma pneumonia and common drug-resistance mutation,and throughout targeted next-generation sequencing(tNGS)in detecting common drug-resistance mutations of mycoplasma pneumonia.Methods:A total of 300 samples of clinical respiratory tract of pneumonia inpatients at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital between 2023 and 2024 were collected.Both the detection kit for drug-resistance mutation of mycoplasma pneumoniae and the tNGS method were employed to detect drug-resistance mutation genes.For samples with inconsistent results,Sanger sequencing was used for verification.Results:For the 300 samples,the detection rates of positive mycoplasma pneumonia of the detection kit for drug-resistance mutation of mycoplasma pneumoniae and the tNGS method were respectively 87.00%and 78.67%,with a Kappa value of 0.711,indicating a relatively high level of agreement between the two methods.Among 25 samples with inconsistent results,Sanger sequencing was employed for validation.The results revealed that for samples with low-frequency gene mutations,the reagent kit maintained reliable detection capability,whereas tNGS exhibited missed detections.Thus,the reagent kit demonstrates superior performance in detecting low-frequency mutation samples.Conclusion:The detection rate of low-frequency mutation samples by the digital PCR-based mycoplasma pneumoniae drug-resistance mutation detection kit is higher than that of the tNGS method.This approach helps enhance the accuracy of detection results,providing a rapid and precise means of detecting drug-resistance genes for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the effects of pretreatment with Xuebijing injection on renal tubular injury in rats with contrast-induced acute kidney injury(CI-AKI).Methods Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were selected and divided into normal group,model group,control group,and treatment group according to the random number table method,with 6 rats in each group.The animal model of CI-AKI was prepared by adopting iohexol,and the normal group was not subjected to any treatment.The rats in the treatment group were injected with Xuebijing injection via the tail vein 15 hours before modeling until 24 hours after modeling.The injection volume was 10 mL/kg for every 6 hours.The control group was injected with normal saline at the same time point.After 24 hours of modeling,the urine of rats in each group was collected to determine the levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and urine N-acetyl-β-D-gluco-aminidase(uNAG),and the blood was collected to determine the levels of serum creatinine(SCr).Then the rats were killed and the kidney tissues were extracted,and then stained with hematoxylin-eosin(HE),and the pathological changes of the kidney tissues were observed under the light microscope.Results BUN,SCr and uNAG were significantly higher in the model group than those in the normal group[BUN(μmol/L):37.29±6.18 vs.6.37±1.19,SCr(mmol/L):30.43±4.44 vs.14.90±1.61,uNAG(U/L):47.77±4.71 vs.11.32±3.62,all P<0.01];BUN,SCr and uNAG levels were obviously decreased in the treatment group compared to the model group[BUN(μmol/L):9.45±3.04 vs.37.29±6.18,SCr(mmol/L):19.83±2.16 vs.30.43±4.44,uNAG(U/L):21.70±6.21 vs.47.77±4.71,all P<0.05],however,BUN and uNAG in the treatment group were still significantly higher than those in the normal group[BUN(μmol/L):9.45±3.04 vs.6.37±1.19,uNAG(U/L):21.70±6.21 vs.11.32±3.62,P<0.05 or P<0.01];SCr in the treatment group was not statistically significant compared to the normal group(μmol/L:19.83±2.16 vs.14.90±1.61,P>0.05).Under the light microscope,the renal tubular epithelial cells at the junction of cortex and dermatomedulla in the kidneys of the model group were obviously vacuolated,accompanied by cell detachment and necrosis,and the tubules were dilated,with no obvious lesions in the glomeruli.The degree of damage in the control group and the treatment group was reduced compared with that in the model group.The degree of renal tubular damage in the model group was higher than that in the normal group;while the degree of renal tubular damage in the control group was significantly lower than that in the model group;and the degree of renal tubular damage in the treatment group was lower than that in the model group.There was no statistically significant difference in the degree of renal tubular damage between the treatment group and the control group.Conclusion Xuebijing injection may exert a protective effect on renal function in rats with CI-AKI by attenuating renal tubular injury.

Background Per- and polyfuoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are categorized as persistent organic pollutants and commonly detected in humans, and their toxicity has attracted widespread attention. However, few studies have reported comparison of PFAS levels and potential factors between women pregnant using assisted reproduction technology (ART) and women pregnant naturally. Objective To analyze and compare serum concentrations and sociodemographic determinants of PFAS in pregnant women conceiving through ART and conceiving naturally from Shanghai. Methods Based on the China National Birth Cohort (CNBC) in Shanghai from 2017 to 2019, 333 pregnant women conceiving through ART and 689 pregnant women conceiving naturally were recruited during the same period as study subjects. The concentrations of 32 PFAS were measured in early-pregnancy serum of all pregnant women, and four PFAS with the highest co-exposure levels in both groups were included in the subsequent analysis. Multiple linear regression models were performed to evaluate the associations of sociodemographic factors with serum PFAS concentrations in the two groups respectively. Beta coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were exponentiated to calculate the ratio of the geometric mean (GM) of PFAS concentrations after each unit change in the independent variable. Results Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), 6∶2 chlorinated polyfluoroethersulfonic acid (6∶2 Cl-PFESA), and perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS) were four major PFAS in serum of pregnant women conceiving through ART and conceiving naturally, and the concentrations of PFOA, PFOS, and 6∶2 Cl-PFESA were higher in pregnant women conceiving through ART than in pregnant women conceiving naturally (P <0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age at pregnancy and household income were associated with serum PFAS levels in both groups. The serum concentrations of PFOS were higher in pregnant women aged ≥35 years old who conceiving through ART (GM ratio=1.26, 95%CI: 1.04, 1.54) and conceiving naturally (GM ratio=1.24, 95%CI: 1.08, 1.42) than pregnant women aged <30 years old respectively. Pregnant women conceiving through ART and conceiving naturally whose household annual income >300000 CNY had lower serum concentrations of PFOA [GM ratio (95%CI): 0.82 (0.72, 0.95) and 0.89 (0.81, 0.97), respectively] and PFHxS [GM ratio (95%CI): 0.66 (0.51, 0.86) and 0.77 (0.66, 0.90), respectively] than those women whose household annual income <200000 CNY. Additionally, pregnant women conceiving naturally with a graduate education or above had lower serum 6∶2 Cl-PFESA concentrations than women with an education below college (GM ratio: 0.81), and multiparous pregnant women conceiving naturally had higher serum concentrations of PFOS, 6∶2 Cl-PFESA, and PFHxS than primiparous pregnant women (GM ratio: 1.14, 1.25, and 1.27 respectively). Conclusion Although differences in serum PFAS levels are found between pregnant women conceiving through ART and women conceiving naturally in this study, maternal age and household income are common determinants of PFAS exposure levels in both populations. We find no special sociodemographic factors to affect PFAS concentrations of pregnant women conceiving through ART compared to pregnant women conceiving naturally. Further research is required to explore other potential factors.
