Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) due to variants of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF1β) (MODY5) has not been well studied in the Chinese population. This study aimed to estimate its prevalence and evaluate the application of a clinical screening method (Faguer score) in Chinese early-onset diabetes (EOD) patients. Methods: Among 679 EOD patients clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age at diagnosis ≤40 years), the exons of HNF1β were sequenced. Functional impact of rare variants was evaluated using a dual-luciferase reporter system. Faguer scores ≥8 prompted multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for large deletions. Pathogenicity of HNF1β variants was assessed following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines. Results: Two rare HNF1β missense mutations (E105K and G454R) were identified by sequencing in five patients, showing functional impact in vitro. Another patient was found to have a whole-gene deletion by MLPA in 22 patients with the Faguer score above 8. Following ACMG guidelines, six patients carrying pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant were diagnosed with MODY5. The estimated prevalence of MODY5 in Chinese EOD patients was approximately 0.9% or higher. Conclusion MODY5 is not uncommon in China. The Faguer score is helpful in deciding whether to perform MLPA analysis on patients with negative sequencing results.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of prescription pre-review system on rational drug use and off-label drug use management in outpatient and emergency department. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on outpatient and emergency department prescription data from three phases in our hospital： January to May 2023 （silent review phase， control group）， June to October 2023 （systematic automatic review phase， intervention group 1）， and November 2023 to March 2024 （phase combining systematic automatic review with centralized feedback from pharmacists to physicians regarding irrational prescriptions， intervention group 2）. These phases followed the implementation of our hospital’s pre-prescription review software. Statistical analysis of the prompt rate of alert， rate of irrational prescriptions， registered the off-label drug use rate and false positive irrationality prescription rate were conducted. Meanwhile， the composition of irrational prescriptions was analyzed， and evidence- based evaluation of the off-label drug use proposed by clinicians was also conducted. RESULTS Compared with control group， the prompt rate of alert and the rate of irrational prescriptions in intervention group 1 were all decreased significantly after receiving pop-up notification， with statistically significant differences （P＜0.05）. With the help of system warning and the pharmacists feedback， the prompt rate of alert and the rate of irrational prescriptions declined further in the intervention group 2， but there was no statistically significant difference when compared with intervention group 1 （P＞0.05）. The main type of irrational drug use was improper administration routes. When comparing intervention group 1 with the control group， as well as intervention group 2 with intervention group 1， a significant decrease in the rate of improper administration routes was observed， with statistically significant differences （P＜0.05）. Compared with control group， there was no significant difference in the registered off-label drug use rate of intervention group 1 and intervention group 2 （P＞0.05）. The doctor’s awareness of off-label drug use registration increased due to the real-time alerts from the pre-prescription review software， along with the pharmacists’ regular summarization and feedback. Total 13 items registrations of off-label drug use were proposed by clinicians from June 2023 to March 2024， all of which were supported by evidence of varying levels； among them， 3 items received FDA approval， 4 items were included in the Micromedex database， and the remaining 6 items were supported by evidence from system reviews or randomized controlled trials. CONCLUSIONS Prescription pre-review system can improve the level of rational drug use and assist in the standardized management of off-label drug use.

Objective To investigate the clinical phenotype,sperm characteristics,genetic etiology and the outcomes of assisted repro-ductive technology of 2 minority patients(P1 Hui and P2 Uyghur)with globozoospermia.Methods The clinical data and various pa-rameters of semen examination in the 2 minority patients with globozoospermia were analyzed.The ultrastructure of their sperms was ob-served,and the genetic etiology of the patients was analyzed by whole exome sequencing(WES)and qPCR.Intracytoplasmic sperm in-jection(ICSI)combined with artificial oocyte activation(AOA)were applied for assisted reproduction thyrapy.The outcomes of assis-ted reproduction in the two couples were observed.Results Homozygous 109681 bp deletion in DPY19L2 gene was found in both the patients.The homozygous deletion of DPY19L2 gene in P2 patient came from his inbred parents.Low sperm motility and high sperm DNA fragmentation rate were observed in the P1 patient,the and the rate of round-headed sperm was 100％in morphology.The ab-sence of sperm acrosome and ultrastructural defects of plasma membrane,mitochondria and microtubules were found under the electron microscope.In the P2 patient,sperm motility and sperm DNA fragmentation rate patient were normal,and the sperm morphology was 100％round-headed sperm.Under the electron microscope,the main defects of sperm were small and round head with acrosomal ab-sence,structural damage,but the ultrastructural defects of organelles were rare,such as plasma membrane,mitochondria and microtu-bules.Both couples of the two patients received ICSI+AOA for assisted pregnancy,and the ICSI fertilization rate was 62.5％for P1 pa-tient and 75％for P2 patient.Both the patients successfully obtained clinical pregnancy.Conclusion The abnormal DPY19L2 gene is the main genetic cause in the globozoospermia patients with different ethnic backgrounds.Both structural damage and ultrastructural de-fects of organelles such as plasma membrane,mitochondrial and microtubule damage could be found in globozoospermia.ICSI combined with AOA should be an effective assisted reproductive thyrapy strategy for the patients with globozoospermia.

Objective·To evaluate the changes in cognitive function in overweight and obese adolescents,and explore the association between cognitive function and fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF21).Methods·A total of 175 adolescents from a senior high school in Shanghai were divided into normal weight group(n=50),overweight group(n=50)and obese group(n=75)based on their body mass index(BMI).General information,anthropometric data and laboratory testing indicators of the adolescents were collected and compared.The cognitive function of the three groups of adolescents was assessed by using the accuracy(ACC)and reaction time of Flanker task and n-back task.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the serum FGF21 level of the three groups of adolescents.Partial correlation analysis and multiple linear regression model were used to evaluate the correlation between cognitive task performance and anthropometric data and laboratory testing indicators.Results·Compared with the normal weight group,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,and the levels of fasting plasma glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin and triacylglycerol in the obese group were higher(all P<0.05).Under congruent or incongruent stimulus conditions in the Flanker task,there was no significant difference in ACC between any two groups;compared with the normal weight and overweight groups,the reaction time of the adolescents in the obese group was prolonged(all P<0.05).In the n-back task,there were no significant differences in ACC between any two groups,while the obese group had longer reaction time in the 1-back and 2-back tasks compared to the normal weight and overweight groups(all P<0.05).Compared with the normal weight group,serum FGF21 levels of the adolescents in the obese group were higher(P=0.000).Partial correlation analysis showed that the reaction time of the adolescents in Flanker and n-back tasks was correlated with their BMI,body fat mass,waist circumference,waist-to-hip ratio and FGF21 level(all P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis further confirmed that BMI was associated with prolonged reaction time in cognitive-related behavioral tasks in the adolescents(all P<0.05),and FGF21 level was associated with ACC in the 2-back task(P=0.000)and reaction time in the incongruent stimulus condition(P=0.048).Conclusion·Overweight and obese adolescents have cognitive impairments,and BMI and serum FGF21 levels are associated with changes in their cognitive function.

Fragile X syndrome(FXS)is caused by abnormal duplication and amplification of the FMR1 gene CGG.This article reports a pair of brothers diagnosed with FXS by genetic testing.Two patients,aged 15 and 14 years old respectively,both had clinical manifestations such as language disorders,intellectual disabilities,attention deficit disorder,autism spectrum disorder,and FXS's characteristic facial features.The proband had a rare late-onset epileptic seizure,which was well treated with levetiracetam,while his younger brother had no electroencephalogram abnormalities after repeated follow-up.This pair of cases suggests that the clinical phenotype of FXS has diversity and heterogeneity.

Objective To evaluate the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after dexmedetomidine and diazepam in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted in the patients who underwent CABG in the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from October 2020 to June 2021. By propensity score-matching method, the incidence of POAF after dexmedetomidine and diazepam application in patients undergoing CABG was evaluated. Results Finally 207 patients were collected, including 150 males and 57 females, with an average age of 62.02±8.38 years. Among the 207 patients, 53 were treated with dexmedetomidine and 154 with diazepam before operation. There was a statistical difference in the proportion of hypertension patients and smoking patients between the two groups before matching (P<0.05). According to the 1∶1 propensity score-matching method, there were 53 patients in each of the two groups, with no statistical difference between the two groups after matching. After matching, the incidence of POAF in the dexmedetomidine group was lower than that in the diazepam group [9.43% (5/53) vs. 30.19% (16/53), P=0.007]. There was no death in the two groups during hospitalization, and there was no statistical difference in the main adverse events after operation. The ICU stay (21.28±2.69 h vs. 22.80±2.56 h, P=0.004) and mechanical ventilation time (18.53±2.25 h vs. 19.85±2.01 h, P=0.002) in the dexmedetomidine group were shorter. Regression analysis showed that age, smoking and diabetes were related to the increased incidence of POAF (P<0.05), and preoperative use of dexmedetomidine was associated with a reduced incidence of POAF (P=0.002). Conclusion For patients undergoing CABG, the incidence of POAF with dexmedetomidine before operation is lower than that with diazepam. Preoperative application of dexmedetomidine is the protective factor for POAF, and old age, smoking and diabetes are the risk factors for POAF.

CD200 and its receptor CD200R constitute an endogenous inhibitory signal. The binding of CD200 and CD200R can regulate the immune response to pathogenic stimuli, which has received much attention in recent years. It has been found that CD200-CD200R is involved in the regulation of many kinds of pathological inflammation, including autoimmune diseases, cardiac cerebrovascular disease, infection and tumor. This paper reviews the protein structure, distribution, expression, biological function of CD200-CD200R and the correlation with diseases, and analyses the current status and development ideas of CD200-CD200R as drug targets. It aims to provide theoretical support for new drug research and development based on this target.
