ObjectiveTo analyze the pharmacodynamic substance basis of Shangkeling Spray and its potential mechanisms in intervening knee osteoarthritis (KOA) using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), network pharmacology, and molecular docking technology. MethodsUPLC-MS was used to identify the chemical components of Shangkeling Spray. Pharmacokinetic properties were employed to screen potential active ingredients. Network pharmacology methods were utilized to collect potential targets of these ingredients and the pathological gene set of KOA. An "active ingredient-disease" target network was constructed using databases such as STRING. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analyses were performed using clusterProfiler. Libraries including NumPy were employed to calculate shortest path lengths to identify dominant pharmacodynamic links. Core gene clusters were identified using MCODE, validated through the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and molecular docking was performed between key active ingredients and core targets. ResultsA total of 322 and 314 chemical components were identified under positive and negative ion modes, respectively, with 410 components in total after de-duplication, mainly including flavonoids, coumarins, terpenoids, organic acids, and alkaloids. Analysis of the "active ingredient-disease" network identified "development and regeneration", "cell growth and death", "immune system", and "nervous system" as the dominant pharmacodynamic links of Shangkeling Spray in the treatment of KOA. Molecular docking showed that key active ingredients, such as bletillin A, formononetin, morin, oxymatrine, aconitine, gallic acid, curdione, apigenin, naringenin, and oleanolic acid, tightly bound to functional domains of 10 key targets including Jun proteins(JUN), interleukin-6 (IL-6), protein kinase B1 (Akt1), Caspase-3, nuclear transcription factor-κB subunit p65(RELA), nuclear factor-kappaB1(NF-κB1), Cyclin D1, mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and Fos proto-oncogene protein (FOS). These interactions synergistically regulated the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mTOR-related signaling axis and nervous system-related pathways, mediating cartilage repair, reducing inflammation and pain, and improving KOA. ConclusionThis study preliminarily clarifies the pharmacodynamic substance basis of Shangkeling Spray and suggests that its main active ingredients may improve KOA by synergistically regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR-related pathways, providing a reference for subsequent exploration of its substance benchmark and mechanism of action.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for severe postpartum hemorrhage (SPPH) during vaginal delivery of twin pregnancy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from twin pregnancies ≥28 weeks′ gestation undergoing vaginal delivery at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2016 and December 2023. The twin pregnant women were divided into the SPPH group (postpartum hemorrhage ≥1 000 ml within 24 hours) with 22 cases and the non-SPPH group with 171 cases. The differences between the two groups were compared and the risk factors for SPPH were analyzed.Results:(1) The incidence of SPPH during vaginal delivery in twin pregnancies was 11.4% (22/193). The causes of SPPH included 12 cases (54.5%, 12/22) of simple uterine atony, 4 cases (18.2%, 4/22) of uterine atony combined with vaginal lacerations after forceps delivery, and 6 cases (27.3%, 6/22) of uterine atony combined with placental factors. (2) The age and postpartum hospital stay in the SPPH group were significantly higher than those in the non-SPPH group (all P<0.05). Compared to the non-SPPH group, the proportion of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, accreta placenta implantation, and anemia in the SPPH group were significantly increased, and the birth weight of newborn 1st, the sum of the birth weights of two newborns, the duration of the second stage of labor, and the proportion of labor followed induction were also significantly increased (all P<0.05). (3) Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥38 years ( OR=16.785, 95% CI: 2.679-105.166; P=0.003), the second stage of labor ≥90 minutes ( OR=9.670, 95% CI: 2.532-36.930; P=0.001), hypertensive disorders in pregnancy ( OR=5.945, 95% CI: 1.702-20.761; P=0.005), and anemia ( OR=8.048, 95% CI: 2.086-31.049; P=0.002) were independent risk factors for SPPH in twin pregnancies during vaginal delivery. Conclusions:Anemia should be actively corrected during twin pregnancy. For twin pregnant women with advanced age, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, or other risk factors of SPPH, if vaginal delivery is chosen, attention should be paid to the management of labor duration, dynamic assessment of the risk of postpartum hemorrhage, and proactive measures should be taken to ensure a smooth vaginal delivery and effectively reduce the incidence of SPPH.

Renal hematuria is caused by glomerular damage and basement membrane rupture due to coagulation dysfunction, ischemia and hypoxia, and immune function damage, resulting in red blood cells exuding through glomerular filtration membrane and excreting with urine. It is mainly manifested as microscopic and macroscopic hematuria. Among them, microscopic hematuria is characterized by microscopic urine sediment examination, there are three or more red blood cells per high-power microscopic field. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believes that the pathogenesis of renal hematuria always belongs to ''asthenia in origin and sthenia in superficiality'', and ''asthenia in origin'' is caused by the deficiency of the three viscera of the lung, spleen, and kidney, while ''sthenia in superficiality'' is caused by the combination of dampness and blood stasis and the external disturbance of wind pathogens. The key pathogenesis features are ''deficiency, dampness, heat, blood stasis, and wind''. After consulting the TCM literature related to renal hematuria, the author found that the common syndrome types of renal hematuria in clinical practice were the deficiency of both Qi and Yin, the deficiency of both Yin and fire, the unsteadiness of kidney Qi, the deficiency of spleen and kidney Yang, the wind heat hurting the collateral, the dampness-heat blocking, and the blood stasis and internal resistance. The commonly used classical or temporal prescriptions included Shenqi Dihuangtang(参芪地黄汤), Zhibai Dihuangtang(知柏地黄汤), Wubi Shanyaowan(无比山药丸), Jisheng Shenqiwan(济生肾气丸), Sishenwan(四神丸), Yinqiaosan(银翘散), Bazhengsan(八正散), Sanrentang(三仁汤), Xuefu Zhuyutang(血府逐瘀汤), Danggui Shaoyaosan(当归芍药散), Xiaoji Yinzi(小蓟饮子), Buzhong Yiqitang(补中益气汤), et al. Self prepared prescriptions mainly include Tongluo Ningxue prescription (通络宁血方), Qingre Zhixue prescription( 清热止血方) and Wuteng Tongluo drink (五藤通络饮). The traditional Chinese medicine is commonly used for the treatment of Xueniaoling granules(血尿灵冲剂), Xueniaoan capsules(血尿安胶囊), Ningmitai capsules(宁泌泰胶囊), Huangkui capsules(黄葵胶囊) and Yishen nixuexiao granules(益肾溺血消颗粒), which constantly enriched the treatment of renal hematuria. The combination of TCM and western medicine has obvious advantages. The treatment of renal hematuria in clinical practice often combines with modern medical methods, which has a good therapeutic effect on the improvement of symptoms and indicators of renal hematuria. At present, many doctors have made in-depth exploration on the etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical treatment of renal hematuria, but few scholars have made detailed induction and collation in recent years. Therefore, the author has collated the clinical data on the treatment of renal hematuria with TCM in the past ten years, and reviewed it from the aspects of etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical research, to provide useful references for clinical intervention and delay the progress of renal disease.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and genetic variation of 2 children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 8 (DEE8).Methods:Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to determine the potential variants in the probands. Candidate variants identified by WES were validated by Sanger sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. X chromosome inactivation (XCI) detection was performed in the proband 1′s mother and proband 2 to detect the allelic expression difference of ARHGEF9. Results:Both of the cases showed global developmental delay. Proband 1 presented with delayed motor and speech development, intellectual disability, and seizures. Electroencephalography of proband 1 showed slow background activity, with spikes, spike and waves in bilateral frontal and midline regions during sleep. While proband 2 showed delay in acquisition of language, motor skills, and cognition, but no seizures. It was identified that proband 1 carried a novel maternally derived heterozygous splicing variant (c.925-2A>T) in ARHGEF9 by WES, which was verified in Sanger sequencing. The XCI in proband 1′s mother was observed, and the expression ratio of mutant ARHGEF9 and wild-type was 0∶100%. A novel exon 3-10 heterozygous deletion of ARHGEF9 was identified in proband 2, and this variant was not found in his unaffected parents. Conclusions:DEE8 disorders are relatively rare. Most of the patients have varying degrees of neurodevelopmental phenotype, but epilepsy is not a specific clinical manifestation. ARHGEF9 gene deletion and splicing variation may be the genetic cause of the 2 probands, and above findings have enriched the spectrum of variation and phenotype of DEE8.

Objective:To evaluate the outcome of laser coagulation under fetoscope for placental chorioangioma (CA).Methods:The clinical data of three pregnant women with giant CA treated by laser coagulation under fetoscope in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Relevant articles up to September 2022 were retrieved from Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed, and the clinical data of all patients were retrospectively summarized. Indications and intervention effects of fetoscopic laser therapy were analyzed. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the data.Results:Thirteen patients were involved in this study including 10 cases retrieved from the databases. The average age of the pregnant women was (30.3±6.2) years old. There were 12 cases of single pregnancy and one case of twin pregnancy (monochorionic diamnionic twin pregnancy). Except for cases for which data were not available in the literatures, at the diagnosis of CA, the average gestational age was (19.9±4.5) weeks ( n=7) and the average maximum diameter of the mass was (6.1±4.1) cm ( n=6). The patients underwent fetoscopic laser therapy at an average gestational age of (25.0±2.0) weeks ( n=13) with the average maximum tumor diameter of (7.6±2.8) cm ( n=9). After treatment, the amniotic fluid volume of three cases decreased to normal. In one case, the amniotic fluid volume decreased but was still above the upper limit of the normal range. Moreover, the maximum tumor diameter decreased in four cases; the peak systolic velocity of the fetal middle cerebral artery decreased to normal in one case; fetal heart function became normal in two cases and fetal edema was relieved in one case. Among the three patients treated in our hospital, the blood supply of CA disappeared after treatment. Intrauterine fetal death occurred in two cases. The other 11 patients gave birth to live babies at the gestational age of (36.6±3.8) weeks with five through cesarean section (5/11), five through vaginal delivery (4/11) and two not reported. The birth weight of the neonates was (2 712±1 023) g and all of them survived. The gender of five neonates were reported and all were females, two of them were monochorionic diamnionic twins. No abnormality was found in the three neonates delivered in our hospital during a six-month follow-up. No abnormality was reported in the other neonates during ten days to six months of follow-up. Conclusions:Fetoscopic laser coagulation may help reduce the size of CA, decrease complications and improve pregnancy outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, genetic characteristics and diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) patients with childhood onset.Methods:The clinical data of a SCA2 pedigree who diagnosed at Neurogenetic Metabolic Disease Clinic of Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in July 2019 were collected, and the reported cases of childhood-onset SCA2 were reviewed. The CAG repeat of ATXN2 gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction, capillary gel electrophoresis and Sanger sequencing techniques.Results:A total of 9 people in 4 generations of the family were affected, showing an autosomal dominant inheritance. The proband was a 3 years and 4 months old boy, who showed abnormal symptoms at 9 months which manifested as developmental retardation. At 1 year old, he developed progressive regression which represented neither to be amused, recognize others, stand and walk alone, nor had language development. Meanwhile, he had difficulty swallowing, long-term constipation, and a history of convulsions. His sister and mother were not yet sick. His grandmother could not walk, had slurred speech accompanied by nystagmus, and magnetic resonance imaging showed cerebellar atrophy. His granduncles and grandaunts had unstable walking and dysarthria. His great-grandfather required wheelchair to walk. This pedigree showed an autosomal dominant inheritance. One of the ATXN2 gene alleles of the proband, his sister, mother and grandmother all showed abnormal amplification with 99, 55, 44, and 43 times respectively and no inserting CAA sequence. A total of 14 literatures reported 20 cases of childhood-onset SCA2 patients who were genetically diagnosed. The majorities had onset in infancy, and few can develop into school age. The main clinical manifestations were developmental delay, dystonia or insufficiency, myoclonus or infantile spasms, motor retardation, abnormal eye movement, retinitis pigmentosa and dysphagia, while the classic cerebellar syndrome was only partially present. Abnormal rhythm was found on electroencephalogram, cerebellar atrophy on magnetic resonance imaging or CT of the head.Conclusions:This case is the youngest genetically-confirmed SCA2 patient reported in China. Reported patients usually have onset in infancy with excessive repeat sequence expansion. Their clinical characteristics are different from the classic patients and could only be diagnosed by dynamic mutation detection.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the clinical characteristics and pathogenic gene in a Chinese pedigree affected with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 8A (MTDPS8A).
METHODS:
Whole exome sequencing was carried out for the patient. Sanger sequencing was used to verify the results, and PolyPhen-2 and PROVEAN software were used to predict the impact of amino acid changes on the function of the protein.
RESULTS:
The patient, a two-month-old female, was admitted to the hospital for poor milk intake and poor mental response. Her clinical manifestations included feeding difficulty, shortness of breath and low muscle tone. Auxiliary laboratory test indicated that the infant was underdeveloped with abnormal liver, kidney, and heart functions accompanied by hyperlacticacidemia. She responded poorly to treatment and eventually died. Sequencing revealed that the child has carried compound heterozygous missense variants of the RRM2B gene, namely c.16delA (p.R6Gfs*22) and c.175G>C (p.A59P), which were respectively inherited from her father and mother, and both were newly discovered pathologic variants.
CONCLUSION
The c.16delA and c.175G>C compound heterozygous variants of the RRM2B gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of MTDPS8A. Above finding has strengthened the understanding of the clinical feature and genetic etiology of this disease and expanded the mutation spectrum of the RRM2B gene.

Objective:To analyze fetoscopic cord laser therapy for management of monochorionic monoamniotic (MCMA) twin pregnancies.Methods:The clinical data of fetoscopic cord laser therapy, including cord occlusion, transection, and disentanglement in three pairs of MCMA twins from January 2020 to January 2021 in Peking University Third Hospital were summarized. Literature on cord occlusion and/or transection in MCMA twins were retrieved from Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, CBM, WanFang, and CNKI from the time at establishment to December 2020. The clinical conditions, surgical indications and methods, disease progression, and maternal and infant prognosis were analyzed.Results:Three cases of MCMA twins in this study period received fetoscopic cord laser therapy between 17-24 weeks, among which two cases gave birth at full-term without any maternal or infant complications, and one was terminated due to fetal malformation. Seven English articles including 29 MCMA twin pregnancies were retrieved. In addition to the three cases reported in this article, a total of 32 cases were analyzed. The indication of cord occlusion and/or transection included twin-reversed arterial perfusion sequence (21.9%, 7/32), fetal malformation (46.9%, 15/32), selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) (21.9%, 7/32), twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) (3.1%, 1/32), TTTS combined with sFGR (3.1%, 1/32), single intrauterine death (3.1%, 1/32). Gestational age at surgery was between 14 +1 to 27 +3 weeks. No maternal complication due to the operation was reported. After exclusion of two cases who did not receive cord transection and one case was terminated due to fetal malformation, all the other 29 co-twins were born alive at the gestational age between 24 +3 to 40 weeks and birth weight between 800-3 800 g. Among the 29 live born babies, four died soon after birth with unclarified reasons in the literature and one was born with multiple malformations which were detected prenatally, and the other 24 neonates were healthy during the follow-up from 1 month to 9 years old. Conclusions:For MCMA twin pregnant women with umbilical cord entanglement or other indications for fetal reduction, cord occlusion, transection, and disentanglement using fetoscopic cord laser is safe and effective for protecting the surviving fetus.

The above indicators of the 459 patients with gallbladder polyp diameter of 10 to 12 mm were 267, 85, 43, 64, 1.6 mg/L(range, 0.4-9.3 mg/L), 10.4 U/mL(range, 3.3-354.0 U/mL), 205, 254, 237, 222, 158, 223, 51, 27, 222, 213, 24, 263, 196, 373, 79, 7, respectively. The above indicators of the 205 patients with gallbladder polyp diameter ≥13 mm were 128, 38, 20, 19, 2.1 mg/L(range, 0.6-28.8 mg/L), 10.2 U/mL(range, 3.6-307.0 U/mL), 120, 85, 75, 130, 68, 97, 22, 18, 98, 95, 12, 148, 57, 113, 71, 21, respectively. There were significant differences in the above indicators among patients who had gallbladder polyp diameter of 7 to 9 mm, 10 to 12 mm, or ≥ 13 mm ( χ2=46.482, 8.093, 39.504, 66.971, 277.043, 60.945, 19.672, 22.340, 197.854, P<0.05). (5) Analysis of influence factors for the incidence of neoplastic polyps in patients who had gallbladder polyp diameter of 10 to 12 mm without cholecystolithiasis: of the 459 patients who had gallbladder polyp diameter of 10 to 12 mm without cholecystolithiasis, there were 373 cases with non-neoplastic polyps, and 86 cases with neoplastic polyps, respectively. Results of univariate analysis showed that CEA, CA19-9, the number of polyps in preoperative ultrasonography examination, diameter of polyps in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyp wall in preoperative ultrasonography examination were influence factors for the incidence of neoplastic polyps in patients who had gallbladder polyp diameter of 10 to 12 mm without cholecystolithiasis ( χ2=10.342, 5.616, 20.009, Z=-4.352, χ2=6.203, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that CEA>5.0 mg/L, CA19-9>39.0 U/mL, single polyp in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyp diameter of 11 mm in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyps of broad base in preoperative ultrasonography examination were independent risk factors for the incidence of neoplastic polyps in patients who had gallbladder polyp diameter of 10 to 12 mm without cholecystolithiasis ( odds ratio=8.423, 0.082, 0.337, 3.694, 2.318, 95% confidence interval: 1.547-45.843, 0.015-0.443, 0.198-0.575, 1.987-6.866, 1.372-3.916, P<0.05). (6) Construction and evaluation of nomogram prediction model for neoplastic polyps of patients who had gallbladder polyp diameter of 10 to 12 mm without cholecystolithiasis: CEA, CA19-9, the number of polyps in preoperative ultrasonography examination, diameter of polyps in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyp wall in preoperative ultrasonography examination were imported into R 3.6.0 version software to establish the nomogram prediction model for neoplastic polyps. The results showed the score for CEA>5.0 mg/L, CA19-9>39.0 U/mL, cases with single polyp in preoperative ultrasonography examination, cases with polyp diameter of 10 mm in preoperative ultrasonography examination, cases with polyp diameter of 11 mm in preoperative ultrasonography examination, cases with polyp diameter of 12 mm in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyps of broad base in preoperative ultrasonography examination were 25, 27, 100, 0, 26, 72, 98 in the nomogram prediction model, respectively. The C-index of nomogram prediction model was 0.768. Result of nomogram prediction model showed that the incidence of tumor polyps was 0, 6% and 10% in patients with multiple and pedicled gallbladder polyps with diameter of 10, 11, 12 mm and with CEA ≤5.0 mg/L and CA19-9 ≤39.0 U/mL, the incidence of tumor polyps was 43%, 53% and 70% in patients with single and broad base gallbladder polyps with diameter of 10, 11, 12 mm. The calibration curve showed that the probability of the nomogram prediction model predicting neoplastic polyps was nearly consistent with the actual probability. Conclusions:CEA>5.0 mg/L, CA19-9>39.0 U/mL, single polyp in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyp diameter of 11 mm in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyps of broad base in preoperative ultrasonography examination are independent risk factors for the incidence of neoplastic polyps in patients who had gallbladder polyp diameter of 10 to 12 mm without cholecystolithiasis. Cholecystectomy should be performed in time for patients with single and broad based gallbladder polyps with diameter of 10, 11, 12 mm.
