		                        			In cardiovascular disorders, neurological diseases, and chronic metabolic diseases, the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway is essential for maintaining cell homeostasis. According to studies, boosting Nrf2 expression can be used to cure or prevent chronic diseases that are characterized by oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic metabolic liver disease characterized by hepatic steatosis brought on by a number of causes other than alcohol. In recent years, its incidence has gradually risen across the globe. According to relevant studies, NAFLD and the Nrf2 signaling pathway are tightly connected. Inhibiting lipid production and metabolism-related enzymes, repairing impaired liver metabolism, and lowering hepatic lipid storage are all possible with Nrf2 activation. Exercise is a powerful tool for treating and preventing NAFLD. However, exercise type, exercise intensity, environment, and exhaustion all have an impact on the Nrf2 signaling pathway. By activating Nrf2, exercise can lessen liver inflammation, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and insulin resistance, and ameliorate liver damage to improve NAFLD. The activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway, its associated mechanism of controlling antioxidation, and the impact of exercise on the Nrf2 signaling pathway are all explained in this work. Based on the pathogenesis of NAFLD, this article examines the connection between exercise, Nrf2, and NAFLD, and the current state of knowledge regarding Nrf2’s role in the amelioration of NAFLD through exercise. It offers a theoretical frame of reference for future research into how Nrf2 might be used to improve NAFLD.

		                        			Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

		                        			Objective:To investigate the routine ultrasonographic findings of fibrinous breast disease lesions , and to provide the basis for the differential diagnosis of fibrocystic breast disease lesions and breast cancer.Methods:The two-dimensional ultrasonography , color doppler flow and elastography of 166 lesions in 144 patients with fibrocystic breast disease confirmed by pathology in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from January 2015 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The ultrasonographic characteristics of fibrocystic breast disease lesions were as follows: 74.1%(123/166) lesions were hypoechoic, 57.2%(95/166)lesions were irregular, 49.4%(82/166) lesions were incomplete, 90.4%(150/166) lesions were parallel, 25.9%(43/166) lesions showed small cysts, 24.1%(40/166) lesions showed coarse calcification or fine calcification, 65.1%(108/166) lesions showed no change in posterior echo, 90.4%(150/166) blood flow was poor. The elastography score of 98.2%(162/166) lesions was 2-3 points.Conclusions:The ultrasonographic features of fibrocystic breast tumor are hypoechoic, irregular shape, incomplete edge, with fine or coarse calcification, which are easy to be misdiagnosed as breast malignant tumor. However, the former is characterized by parallel growth, small cyst in the interior, no change in posterior echo, lack of blood supply and soft texture, which provide important basis for clinical differential diagnosis.

		                        			 Objective To investigate the application of liver three-dimensional (3D) visualized reconstruction technique in hepatectomy for children with complicated hepatoblastoma. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 30 children with hepatoblastoma who underwent hepatectomy for radical resection in PLA Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center from January 2018 to October 2020, and according to whether liver 3D visualization with IQQA-Liver system was performed before surgery, the children were divided into 3D reconstruction group with 15 children and control group with 15 children. The two groups were compared in terms of perioperative parameters, short-term prognosis, and follow-up conditions. The independent samples t -test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U  test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the 3D reconstruction group had a significantly higher mean age (55.7±10.2 years vs 28.2±2.7 years, P  < 0.05) and a significantly higher number of patients with POSTTEXT stage III/VI hepatoblastoma (12 vs 5, P  < 0.05) or involvement of the hepatic vein or the inferior vena cava (11 vs 3, P  < 0.05). All children completed the surgery successfully, and there were no significant differences between the two groups in blood loss, time of operation, number of times and duration of hepatic portal occlusion, and number of children receiving segmental hepatectomy or partial hepatectomy (all P  > 0.05). The median follow-up after surgery was 9.5 months. In the 3D reconstruction group, 2 children experienced recurrence and were diagnosed at 10 and 12 months, respectively, after surgery, and they were treated with chemotherapy at the moment; in the control group, 4 children experienced recurrence, which was higher than that in the 3D reconstruction group ( P =0.651), and among these 4 children, 2 had recurrence at 7 months after surgery, received liver transplantation, and survived up to now, and the other 2 children died shortly after recurrence. Conclusion 3D visualized reconstruction technique helps to perform hepatectomy for children with complicated hepatoblastoma more safely and accurately, especially extended hepatectomy for patients with stage POST TEXT III/IV hepatoblastoma, thereby avoiding liver transplantation.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the feasibility and characteristics of ultrasound imaging in diagnosing fractures in neonates.Methods:Thirty neonates with bone fracture in Beijing Chaoyang District Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital during January 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively recruited. The causes and ultrasound imaging features of these cases were analyzed. The ultrasound findings were compared with the results of X-ray examination.Results:Among the 30 cases, 29 (96.7%) were diagnosed as fracture due to birth trauma, including 28 (93.3%) of clavicle fracture and one (3.3%) of humerus fracture, and one (3.3%) with rib fracture probably caused by metabolic osteopathy. The ultrasound imaging characteristics included interruption of bone continuity, dislocation and/or angulation of fracture ends, and callus formation during recovery. All of the 30 cases were diagnosed by ultrasound. However, X-ray examination failed in the diagnosis of one clavicle fracture.Conclusions:Ultrasound is an accurate and reliable method for the diagnosis of neonatal fracture. The main characteristics of ultrasound imaging include interruption of bone continuity, dislocation and/or angulation of fracture ends and callus formation.

		                        			Objective    To compare the effects of transthoracic device closure and surgical closure on ventricular septal defect systemically. Methods    A systematic literature search was conducted using the PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, VIP, CNKI, CBM, Chinese Clinical Trial Register, ClinicalTrials. gov and Wanfang Database up to July 31, 2016. Quality was assessed and data of included articles were extracted. The meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 and Stata 14.0 software. Results    Eleven studies were identified, including 5 RCTs and 6 cohort studies involving 2 504 patients. For success rate, there was no statistical difference between the transthoracic closure group and the surgical closure group in RCT (RR=0.99, 95%CI 0.96 to 1.03, P=0.70); the success rate in the transthoracic closure group was lower than that in the surgical closure group in the cohort study (OR=0.21, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.55, P=0.002). Both  results of RCTs and cohort studies showed that compared with surgical closure, transthoracic device closure reduced duration of the operation (RCT MD=–79.38, 95%CI –95.00 to –63.76, P<0.000 01; cohort study MD=–66.26, 95%CI –71.20 to –61.31, P<0.000 01) and hospital stay (RCT MD=–2.10, 95%CI –2.65 to –1.55, P<0.000 01; cohort study MD=–3.99, 95%CI –6.03 to –1.94, P=0.000 1), and the patients with blood transfusion (RCT RR= 0.04, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.11, P<0.000 01; cohort study OR=0.01, 95%CI 0.00 to 0.13, P=0.001). In the transthoracic closure group the risk of postoperative arrhythmia reduced (RCT RR=0.20, 95%CI 0.13 to 0.32, P<0.000 01; cohort study OR=0.46, 95%CI 0.31 to 0.67, P<0.000 1). In the transthoracic closure group a higher postoperative valvular regurgitation risk in RCT induced (RR=1.45, 95%CI 1.07 to 1.96, P=0.02) and the rate of postoperative valvular regurgitation in cohort study reduced (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.92, P=0.03). However, there was no statistical difference in postoperative residual shunt (RCT RR=0.96, 95%CI 0.57 to 1.62, P=0.89; cohort study OR=0.52, 95%CI 0.12 to 2.25, P=0.38). Conclusion    Transthoracic device closure can shorten duration of the operation, hospital stay and reduce the patients with blood transfusion and post- and intraoperative arrhythmia risk. Therefore, transthoracic device closure may be a better approach for some ventricular septal defect patients.
