OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of dapagliflozin on contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) and prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS Retrospective selection of data on T2DM patients with ACS who underwent PCI treatment in the Cardiology Department of Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 1st 2021 to December 31st 2022. The patients were divided into dapagliflozin group (96 cases) and control group (148 cases) based on whether they received dapagliflozin or not. Renal function indicators were measured for all enrolled patients before PCI and at 48 h and 1 week after PCI, including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), cystatin-C (Cys-C), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG). All patients were followed up for at least 1 year. The incidence of CIAKI and major adverse cardiac event (MACE) during follow-up were recorded for both groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of dapagliflozin on the occurrence of CIAKI, while the Log-rank test was applied to compare the incidence of MACE between the two groups. Cox regression was employed to analyze the impact of dapagliflozin on prognosis. RESULTS At 48 h and 1 week after PCI, serum levels of Cys-C, KIM-1 and β2-MG were significantly lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of CIAKI was lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group (6.25% vs. 14.86%, P=0.042). Logistic regression analysis revealed that dapagliflozin was an independent protective factor against CIAKI (OR=0.280, 95%CI 0.101-0.780,P=0.015). During the follow-up period, the incidence of MACE was lower in the dapagliflozin group compared to the control group (7.29% vs. 17.57%, P=0.049). Cox regression analysis indicated that dapagliflozin reduced the occurrence of MACE after PCI (HR=0.374, 95%CI 0.161-0.866, P=0.022). CONCLUSIONS With adequate hydration, the use of dapagliflozin does not increase the risk of CIAKI following PCI in T2DM patients with ACS.

OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of liraglutide on cardiovascular metabolism, left ventricular structure and function of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Totally 351 NAFLD patients with T2DM were enrolled retrospectively, who visited the Department of Endocrinology in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2022. They were divided into control group (196 cases) and observation group (155 cases) according to different treatment regimens. The control group received conventional standard treatment, and the observation group was additionally given Liraglutide injection 0.6 mg/d subcutaneously once a day based on the control group, adjusted to 1.2 mg/d after 7 days. Both groups received regular treatment for more than 12 months. The propensity matching method was used to match the two groups of patients at a ratio of 1∶1. The cardiovascular metabolism indexes and cardiac ultrasound parameters were compared, and the correlation between left ventricular structure, function parameters and cardiovascular metabolism indexes was analyzed. RESULTS After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in baseline clinical data between the two groups (each 155 cases) before treatment (P>0.05). After 12 months of treatment, the waist circumference, weight, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and triglyceride (TG) of both groups, as well as the diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), uric acid (UA) and left ventricular mass (LVM) of the observation group, exhibited a significant decrease compared to pre-treatment levels (P<0.05). The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and E/A ratio in both groups, as well as the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the control group and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the observation group, were all significantly increased compared with before treatment in the same group (P<0.05). Moreover, the improvement of the above indicators (except for TG and SBP) in the observation group was generally more significant than those in the control group (P<0.05). The left ventricular structure and functional parameters (LVM, LVEF, E/A ratio) of the two groups before and after treatment had varying degrees of correlation with the patients’ waist circumference, body weight, BMI, SBP, FBG and HbA1c. Moreover, BMI (observation group: β= 0.229, P=0.004) and SBP (control group: β=0.240, P=0.004; observation group: β=0.226, P=0.007) were independent influential factors for LVM of the patients. CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide combined with conventional standard treatment can effectively control blood glucose in NAFLD patients with T2DM, reduce waist circumference, body weight and blood pressure, improve blood lipid disorders, and protect their cardiac structure and function.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(12):1718-1721
Objective:
To understand the prevalence of HIV testing and related factors among young students who had sex in Guangdong Province, in order to provide evidence for relevant education programs and HIV testing promotion in young students.
Methods:
From September to December 2022, a convenient sampling method was used to select 48 749 young students from 16 universities and mechanic colleges in 6 cities including Guangzhou, Shantou, Maoming, Huizhou, Dongguan, and Zhongshan in Guangdong Province for online questionnaire survey. A total of 2 971 students who ever had sexual experiences were screened out, and the HIV testing situation and related factors were investigated by using the questionnaire designed by AIDS Prevention and Education Project for College Students of China STD and AIDS Prevention Association.The influencing factors of HIV testing were analyzed using Chi square test and multiple Logistic regression model.
Results:
Among students who had sexual experiences, 11.92% (354/2 971) were tested for HIV. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that among young sexual students, using psychoactive substances during sexual activity in the last 1 year ( OR =7.70), having first sex with the same sex ( OR =3.87), having commercial sex ( OR =2.37), having heard of PEP ( OR =2.20), having a high level of self assessed understanding of HIV testing ( OR =1.73), inconsistent use of condoms ( OR =1.56), being aware of HIV infection ( OR =1.53), being aware of HIV knowledge ( OR =1.51) were more likely to test for HIV, and females ( OR =0.39) were less likely to test for HIV ( P < 0.05).
Conclusions
The proportion of HIV testing is low among sexually active young students in Guangdong Province. Targeted interventions should be tailored to promote HIV testing coverage.

Objective:To explore high-risk sexual behaviors of HIV/AIDS and related factors in young students in Guangzhou.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 5 different types of Guangzhou colleges by convenience sampling with minimum number of classes per grade and 600 samples per school from September to November 2021. The R 4.2.2 software was used to consolidate databases. Simultaneously, a logistic regression model and a decision tree algorithm model, stratifying by whether sexual behaviors had occurred before, were constructed. In each layer, the prediction performance of the two models was evaluated through area under receiver operating characteristic and the confusion matrix, and then the model with high prediction performance was retained.Results:A total of 7 346 students were surveyed. The proportion of the respondents reporting sexual experience were 9.08% (667/7 346), in whom 26.24% (175/667) had risky sexual activity in the past year. The decision tree algorithm model performs well in predicting whether high-risk sexual behaviors have occurred in the past year. When the complexity parameter value is 0.018, and nsplit reaches 4, which means there are 5 leaf nodes in the model, the cross error of the tree will be the smallest. The first best grouping variable in the decision tree was whether to use condoms throughout the first sexual behavior. If condoms were used at their sexual debut, but homosexual practices have occurred in the past year, the probability of risky sexual behavior will increase. If homosexual practices have not occurred in the past year, but the age of sexual debut was below 18 years old while the period of HIV education was after high school, the probability of risk sexual behavior will also increase.Conclusions:AIDS-related risky behaviors of young students still deserved attention. The experience of sexual debut and whether AIDS-related health education has been received before the sexual debut were significant predictors for the occurrence of high-risk sexual behavior. The decision tree algorithm model has particular applicability for predicting and screening potential risk populations.

Objective:To investigate the risk perception for risky behavior of HIV/AIDS infection among young students and to analyze the related influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 5 different types of Guangzhou colleges from September to November 2021, in which convenience sampling and a minimum number of classes per grade and 600 samples per school were used according to the national unity program. Disordered multi-classification logistic regression was used to construct a risk perception model and analyze influencing factors in different risk perception levels.Results:A total of 7 346 young students were surveyed, and most rated themselves at low risk of HIV/AIDS infections (90.58%, 6 654/7 346). A total of 89.10% (6 545/7 346) of subjects' perception of their HIV/AIDS infection risk was consistent with their risk behavior, while 10.90% (801/7 346) was inconsistent. Among those inconsistent subjects, 19.10% (153/801) showed underestimating their risk , while 80.90% (648/801) seen overestimating their risk. Disordered multi-classification logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for other factors, compared with the non-sexual group, respondents whose first sex age under 18 had a higher rate of underestimating their risk of infection ( OR=129.39, 95% CI: 73.28-228.48), as well as a higher rate of overestimated their risk of infection ( OR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.04-2.99). First sexual intercourse at age 18 or older was a risk factor for underestimating risk ( OR=70.56, 95% CI: 42.72-116.53), but was not statistically associated with overestimating risk. Being female, other school type, non-heterosexual orientation, and self-rated HIV-related knowledge as fair or no knowledge were risk factors for overestimating risk but were not statistically associated with underestimating risk. Conclusions:Overall, young students in universities of Guangzhou have a good risk perception of HIV/AIDS infection. Individual factors, education factors and sexual experience will influence students' risk perception of HIV/AIDS infection. Raising the awareness rate of HIV/AIDS knowledge and delaying the age of first sexual intercourse will improve the risk perception ability of young students.

Objective:To predict and analyze the number of acute pancreatitis (AP) inpatients based on time series model, and to explore the predictive efficiency of the model.Methods:Clinical data of AP inpatients in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2014 to December 2019 were collected. R software was used to collect the time series of AP inpatients, and the trend and seasonal characteristics of AP inpatients from 2014 to 2018 were analyzed. Furthermore, the autoregressive moving average (ARIMA) model was established through stationarity test, model ordering and model testing steps, and the best selected model was used to predict the monthly number of inpatients in 2019 to verify its prediction efficiency.Results:A total of 3 939 AP patients were included in the study. The most common etiology for AP was cholestrogenic (48.2%), followed by hyperacylglyceremia (36.3%). The peak age of hospitalization was from 40 to 60 years old. Time series analysis showed that the number of AP inpatients increased year by year. The highest peak of the disease was from February to March, followed by September to November; and there was seasonal variation and the incidence was relatively small in summer. The established original training set sequence did not pass the stationarity test ( P=0.061), so the ARIMA model was established after it was transformed into a stationarity sequence by first-order difference. According to the criterion of minimum AIC value, ARIMA(2, 1, 1)(1, 1, 1) 12 was selected as the best model. The model was used to predict the number of AP inpatients in 2019, showing that it could better fit the trend of onset time and had good short-term prediction effect. The mean root error and absolute error were 6.8790 and 4.7783, respectively. Conclusions:The number of AP inpatients increases year by year with seasonal changes. ARIMA model is effective in predicting the number of AP inpatients and can be used for short-term prediction.

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain charac-terized by abnormal neuron excitability.However,the underlying molecular mechanism of neuron excitability modulation remains elusive.With the help of bioinformatic methods,we have identified receptor-type tyrosine-pro-tein phosphatase-like N(PTPRN)as a critical gene dur-ing epileptogenesis.PTPRN recruits NEDD4L ubiquitin E3 ligase to NaV1.2 sodium channels,facilitating NEDD4L-mediated ubiquitination and endocytosis.Knockout of PTPRN endows hippocampal granule cells with augmented depolarization currents and higher intrinsic excitability,which is reflected by increased seizure susceptibility of transgenic mice.On the contrary,reduced neuron excit-ability and decreased seizure susceptibility are observed after PTPRN overexpression.Meanwhile,we find that a 133 aa fragment recaptures modulation effect of PTPRN full-length,and this fragment shows therapeutic potential towards epilepsy caused by NaV1.2 gain of function vari-ants.In brief,our results demonstrate PTPRN playsa criti-calroleinregulatingneuronexcitability,providing a poten-tial therapeutic approach for epilepsy.

We report a case of a female teenage with monogenic diabetes mellitus caused by glucokinase regulator (GCKR) gene mutation who presented with diabetic ketosis and misdiagnosed as type 1 diabetes. The patient was treated with insulin for 3 years since diagnosis. The islet function was well preserved, but polycystic ovary syndrome was developed. Whole-exome gene sequencing revealed a GCKR gene c. 69delG heterozygous mutation. After molecular diagnosis, the insulin dosage was gradually reduced to full cessation, and only metformin sustained-release tablets were taken to control blood glucose. It is necessary to regular evaluate islet function of patient with type 1 diabetes, and genetic test is of significance for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
