OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the incidence of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATB-DILI) and its risk factors. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China Knowledge Network, VIP, Wanfang data and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched to collect cohort studies and case-control studies on the incidence and risk factors of ATB-DILI from the establishment of the database to 31 May 2024. After screening literature, extracting data and evaluating the quality of literature, meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 and RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 26 literature involving 38 971 patients were included, of which 4 106 patients suffered from ATB-DILI. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of ATB-DILI was 12.94% [95%CI (10.82%,15.06%), P<0.001]; subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of ATB-DILI in cohort studies, Chinese studies and pediatric patients was higher (P<0.001). Age≥60 years, abnormal body mass index, alcoholism, smoking, history of liver disease, hepatitis B surface antigen positivity, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, malnutrition, hypoproteinemia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, no prophylactic use of hepatoprotective drugs, and high baseline alanine transaminase levels were risk factors for developing ATB-DILI (P<0.05). Sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis showed that the results obtained in this study were relatively robust. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of ATB-DILI in tuberculosis patients is 12.94%. Age≥60 years, abnormal body mass index, alcoholism, smoking, history of liver disease, hepatitis B surface antigen positivity, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, malnutrition, hypoproteinaemia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, non-prophylactic use of hepatoprotective medications, and high baseline levels of alanine transaminase are the risk factors for developing ATB-DILI.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Anmeidan on the sleep quality and serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and irisin in the patients with chronic insomnia. MethodA multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study was carried out, including 480 patients with chronic insomnia (deficiency syndrome) in Wuhan (Hubei), Guangzhou (Guangdong), and Lanzhou (Gansu). They were randomized into an observation group and a control group at a ratio of 1∶1. The observation group was orally administered with Anmeidan granules at a dose of 11 g, 3 times per day, and the control group with Anmeidan simulant at a dose of 11 g, 3 times per day, Both groups of patients received sleep education after enrollment. After 4 weeks of medication, the Athens insomnia scale (AIS) scores, Spiegel scale scores, and serum levels of BDNF, GFAP, and irisin were compared between the two groups as well as between before and after treatment. ResultA total of 480 adult patients with chronic insomnia were enrolled in this study, with 64 patients falled off. Finally, the 415 patients were included in the analysis, including 213 patients in the observation group and 202 patients in the control group. There was no difference in age or sex between the two groups of patients. Compared with before treatment, the treatment in both groups decreased the AIS and Spiegel scores (P<0.01). After treatment, the observation group had lower AIS and Spiegel scores than the control group (P<0.01). The treatment in the observation group slightly lowered the level of BDNF, elevated the level of irisin (P<0.05), and lowered the level of GFAP (P<0.05) in the serum. After treatment, the observation group showed higher level of irisin (P<0.05) and lower levels of BDNF and GFAP in the serum than the control group. ConclusionAnmeidan may improve the sleep quality of patients with chronic insomnia by elevating the irisin level and lowering the GFAP level in the serum.

The goal of this study was to investigate the regulatory effect of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on cellular inflammation caused by avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and the underlying mechanism of such effect. Vero and DF-1 cells were used as test target to be exposed to recombinant IBV virus (IBV-3ab-Luc). Four different groups were tested: the control group, the infection group[IBV-3ab-Luc, MOI (multiplicity of infection)=1], the ACE2 overexpression group[IBV-3ab Luc+pcDNA3.1(+)-ACE2], and the ACE2-depleted group (IBV-3ab-Luc+siRNA-ACE2). After the cells in the infection group started to show cytopathic indicators, the overall protein and RNA in cell of each group were extracted. real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to determine the mRNA expression level of the IBV nucleoprotein (IBV-N), glycoprotein 130 (gp130) and cellular interleukin-6 (IL-6). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the level of IL-6 in cell supernatant. Western blotting was performed to determine the level of ACE2 phosphorylation of janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). We found that ACE2 was successfully overexpressed and depleted in both Vero and DF-1 cells. Secondly, cytopathic indicators were observed in infected Vero cells including rounding, detaching, clumping, and formation of syncytia. These indicators were alleviated in ACE2 overexpression group but exacerbated when ACE2 was depleted. Thirdly, in the infection group, capering with the control group, the expression level of IBV-N, gp130, IL-6 mRNA and increased significantly (P < 0.05), the IL-6 level was significant or extremely significant elevated in cell supernatant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01); the expression of ACE2 decreased significantly (P < 0.05); protein phosphorylation level of JAK2 and STAT3 increased significantly (P < 0.05). Fourthly, comparing with the infected group, the level of IBV-N mRNA expression in the ACE2 overexpression group had no notable change (P > 0.05), but the expression of gp130 mRNA, IL-6 level and expression of mRNA were elevated (P < 0.05) and the protein phosphorylation level of JAK2 and STAT3 decreased significantly (P < 0.05). In the ACE2-depleted group, there was no notable change in IBV-N (P > 0.05), but the IL-6 level and expression of mRNA increased significantly (P < 0.05) and the phosphorylation level of JAK2 and STAT3 protein decreased slightly (P > 0.05). The results demonstrated for the first time that ACE2 did not affect the replication of IBV in DF-1 cell, but it did contribute to the prevention of the activation of the IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, resulting in an alleviation of IBV-induced cellular inflammation in Vero and DF-1 cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of pamidronate disodium(APD) in the treatment of osteogenic imperfecta(OI) in children. METHODS Children who first used APD at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The growth and development status, improvement of bone metabolism and biochemical indicators, changes in bone density(BMD) and fractures, and occurrence of adverse drug reactions(ADRs) before and after treatment were compared. RESULTS A total of 14 pediatric patients were included, with a median age of 5.16 years. All children, regardless of the duration of treatment(1, 2 years, 3 years or more), showed significant improvements in height, body mass, and lumbar BMD compared to before treatment, while the average number of fractures per year decreased significantly(P<0.05). After 1 year of treatment, the alkaline phosphatase significantly increased(P=0.024). After 2 years of treatment, the total 25-hydroxyvitamin D3(T-25OHD3) significantly improved(P=0.014). After 3 years of treatment, the Z-value of height significantly improved(P=0.036). The most common ADR were fever, skeletal muscle pain, asymptomatic hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia. CONCLUSION Pediatric patients with OI have good tolerance to APD treatment, with increased lumbar BMD and BMD Z values, reduced fracture rates, and improved growth and development.

Objective:To explore the current status of readiness for young and middle-aged maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients to return to work and analyze its influencing factors, with the aim of providing reference for the evaluation and intervention of patients returning to work.Methods:From October to December 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 425 patients from six hospitals in the urban area of Yangzhou as the subject. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Readiness for Return-To-Work Scale (RRTWS), Distress Disclosure Index (DDI) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of returning to work.Results:Among 425 young and middle-aged patients undergoing MHD, 105 (24.7%) returned to work, of which 79 (75.2%) were in the uncertain maintenance stage and 26 (24.8%) were in the active maintenance stage. 320 did not return to work, including 148 (46.3%) in the pre-intention stage, 86 (26.9%) in the intention stage, 42 (13.1%) in the action preparation self-evaluation stage, and 44 (13.8%) in the action preparation behavior stage. Age, per capita monthly income of the family, number of comorbidities, level of self-disclosure, and level of perceived social support were factors that affected patients' readiness to return to work.Conclusions:The rate of young and middle-aged MHD patients returning to work needs to be improved. The return of patients to work is influenced by multiple factors. Medical and nursing staff should focus on patients who are old, have low per capita monthly income of the family, and have a large number of comorbidities. Targeted interventions and guidance should be provided to patients, such as self-disclosure training and improving their perceived social support, in order to increase the rate of patients returning to work rate.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features, gene mutations and experience of standardized enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) of Pompe disease (PD) in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 13 children with PD, who were hospitalized in Qingdao Women and Children′s Hospital from December 2016 to August 2021.According to the age at onset, the children were divided into the infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) group and late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) group.At the same time, they were divided into the ERT group and non-ERT group according to whether recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA) was infused.Furthermore, the ERT group was divided into the standard ERT group and non-standard ERT group.The standard ERT group received a dose of 20 mg/kg every 2 weeks for 52 weeks.The survival rate was compared between groups by using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Among the 13 children with PD, there were 7 males and 6 females.Ten cases belonged to the IOPD group and 3 cases belonged to the LOPD group.The most common cause of initial consultation in the IOPD group was cardiac involvement, which accounted for 60.0% (6/10 cases), while the LOPD group mainly presented with myasthenia, cardiac involvement and respiratory tract infection at the first diagnosis.The serum level of creatine kinase (CK) in all cases increased to varying degrees.Acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) was completely deficient in 1 case and decreased in 12 cases.All the children in the IOPD group showed myocardial hypertrophy, electrocardiograph (ECG) suggested a short PR interval, increased QRS voltage and extensive T-wave inversion.Three new mutations were found by GAA gene analysis, and they were c. 1861T>G (p.Trp621Gly), c.2278A>T (p.K760X), and c. 949G>A (p.A317T). Five cases in the IOPD group were given ERT.Two of them were given standard ERT for 52 weeks, and the other 3 cases were treated with non-standard ERT.At the end of follow-up, 2 cases treated with standardized ERT survived and the remaining 8 cases died of heart failure or respiratory failure.In the LOPD group, only 1 case was given ERT one time.Finally, 2 cases survived and one died of respiratory failure.The total fatality rate was 69.2%(9/13 cases). The survival rate of the ERT group (50.0%) and standard ERT group (100.0%) was significantly higher than that of the non-ERT group (14.3%) ( Log Rank P=0.037, 0.044). Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of PD are diverse.GAA activity examination and GAA gene analysis are important for clinical diagnosis of PD.Standardized ERT can significantly delay the progression of PD and even reverse myocardial hypertrophy in children with IOPD.
