We report a case of type A insulin resistance syndrome. A 16-year-old girl with BMI of 19.1 kg/m 2 presented with primary amenorrhea and hyperglycemia for two years. Baseline HbA 1C was 10.8%, along with severe hyperinsulinemia, increased total testosterone and free androgen index(FAI). Ultrasonography showed polycystic ovaries. Next generation sequencing identified a novel and de novo heterozygous missense mutation of Trp1220Gly in the insulin receptor gene. Short-term intensive insulin pump treatment was initiated, followed by insulin glargine, pioglitazone and acarbose combination regiment. Fasting blood glucose and insulin levels decreased significantly, but post-load hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia remained unsatisfactory. HbA 1C dropped to 7.6% at 1-year follow up. Patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome who are adolescent-onset and with lean body type should be taken into account of type A insulin resistance syndrome. Currently, there is no standardized treatment protocol, and therapy should be individualized based on the specific gene mutation of each patient.

Objective:To measure the predictive value of miR-424 on the risk of sepsis complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), and to explore its correlation with the prognosis of ARDS children.Methods:A prospective study was conducted.The data of children with sepsis (some complicated with ARDS), who were treated in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital (People′s Hospital, Zhengzhou University) were collected from February 2020 to February 2021.The incidence of ARDS and the fatality rate of ARDS children were recorded.Children were divided into survival group and death group according to whether death or not.The expression of miR-424 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Pearson correlation analysis was made to investigate the relationship between the expression level of miR-424 and Pediatric Critical Illness Score(PCIS), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment(SOFA) score, oxygenation index(P/F ratio), C-reactive protein(CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8). The factors affecting the prognosis of ARDS children were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was used to assess the accuracy of miR-424 in early diagnosis of sepsis complicated with ARDS, and to measure the predicative value of miR-424 on the risk of death in sepsis patients with ARDS. Results:A total of 121 sepsis patients were included in this study, and 36 cases of them were complicated with ARDS.The expression level of miR-424(0.56±0.17)in the blood of sepsis patients complicated with ARDS was significantly lower than that of sepsis patients without ARDS (0.98±0.26)( t=8.776, P<0.001). The expression of miR-424 was negatively co-rrelated with IL-6( r=-0.627, P<0.01), IL-8 ( r=-0.651, P<0.01) and CRP( r=-0.472, P<0.05)in sepsis patients with ARDS.The expression of miR-424 was positively correlated with PCIS score( r=0.330, P<0.05), P/F ratio ( r=0.592, P<0.001) and albumin ( r=0.496, P<0.05) in sepsis patients with ARDS.The ROC showed that miR-424 [area under curve(AUC)=0.908, 95% CI: 0.856-0.960] could differentiate sepsis patients with ARDS from those without ARDS.Compared with that of the survival group(0.63±0.15), miR-424 of the death group decreased significantly(0.42±0.14)( t=3.890, P<0.05). The decreased miR-424 (AUC=0.845, 95% CI: 0.696-0.995)indicated an increased risk of death in children with ARDS.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that miR-424( OR=0.001, P=0.033)and albumin ( OR=0.553, P=0.040) were independent risk factors for death in ARDS children. Conclusions:miR-424 can help with early diagnosis of sepsis complicated with ARDS, and can be used as a predictor of the prognosis of sepsis children complicated with ARDS.

Hemophilia is the only rare hereditary hemorrhagic disorder included in the First Rare Diseases catalogue. However, rare bleeding diseases identified in the clinic are far more common than hemophilia. Most other rare hemorrhagic disorders have less effective treatment than hemophilia. Hemophilia has a history of successful drug development in rare hemorrhagic diseases, and the cycle between clinical research and drug development has been gradually realized. Drug research and pharmaceutical companies can refer to the drug research and development process in the field of hemophilia, learn from the experience of hemophilia drug research and develop treatments. The industry can increase drug development by strengthening basic research, focusing on the value of natural history research, the application of quantitative pharmacological tools and improving the efficiency of drug development to meet the urgent unmet medical needs of patients with rare hemorrhagic diseases.

Artemisia annua is the main natural source of artemisinin production. In A. annua, extended drought stress severely reduces its biomass and artemisinin production while short-term water-withholding or abscisic acid (ABA) treatment can increase artemisinin biosynthesis. ABA-responsive transcription factor AabZIP1 and JA signaling AaMYC2 have been shown in separate studies to promote artemisinin production by targeting several artemisinin biosynthesis genes. Here, we found AabZIP1 promote the expression of multiple artemisinin biosynthesis genes including AaDBR2 and AaALDH1, which AabZIP1 does not directly activate. Subsequently, it was found that AabZIP1 up-regulates AaMYC2 expression through direct binding to its promoter, and that AaMYC2 binds to the promoter of AaALDH1 to activate its transcription. In addition, AabZIP1 directly transactivates wax biosynthesis genes AaCER1 and AaCYP86A1. The biosynthesis of artemisinin and cuticular wax and the tolerance of drought stress were significantly increased by AabZIP1 overexpression, whereas they were significantly decreased in RNAi-AabZIP1 plants. Collectively, we have uncovered the AabZIP1-AaMYC2 transcriptional module as a point of cross-talk between ABA and JA signaling in artemisinin biosynthesis, which may have general implications. We have also identified AabZIP1 as a promising candidate gene for the development of A. annua plants with high artemisinin content and drought tolerance in metabolic engineering breeding.

Objective:To investigate the effect of empagliflozin on diabetic kidney disease in db/db mice and the potential mechanisms.Methods:db/db mice were randomly divided into db/db group and Empa group. C57BL/6J mice were used as normal control group. We measured the level of serum biochemistry and inflammatory cytokines. Pathological changes of kidney were observed by pathological staining. The protein expression levels of NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1 and GSDMD were detected.Results:Compared with db/db group, the level of fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, serum biochemistry, and urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio in Empa group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05). HE staining and Masson staining showed that empagliflozin could significantly improve glomerular pyknosis and renal interstitial fibrosis in db/db mice. Meanwhile, the expressions of NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, and GSDMD protein were down-regulated ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Empagliflozin improves kidney damage in diabetic model mice, and the possible mechanism is to inhibit the cell pyroptosis signal pathway of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD.
