Background: Genetic defects in the human thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (TSHR) gene can cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH). However, the biological functions and comprehensive genotype–phenotype relationships for most TSHR variants associated with CH remain unexplored. We aimed to identify TSHR variants in Chinese patients with CH, analyze the functions of the variants, and explore the relationships between TSHR genotypes and clinical phenotypes. Methods: In total, 367 patients with CH were recruited for TSHR variant screening using whole-exome sequencing. The effects of the variants were evaluated by in-silico programs such as SIFT and polyphen2. Furthermore, these variants were transfected into 293T cells to detect their Gs/cyclic AMP and Gq/11 signaling activity. Results: Among the 367 patients with CH, 17 TSHR variants, including three novel variants, were identified in 45 patients, and 18 patients carried biallelic TSHR variants. In vitro experiments showed that 10 variants were associated with Gs/cyclic AMP and Gq/11 signaling pathway impairment to varying degrees. Patients with TSHR biallelic variants had lower serum TSH levels and higher free triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels at diagnosis than those with DUOX2 biallelic variants. Conclusions We found a high frequency of TSHR variants in Chinese patients with CH (12.3%), and 4.9% of cases were caused by TSHR biallelic variants. Ten variants were identified as loss-of-function variants. The data suggest that the clinical phenotype of CH patients caused by TSHR biallelic variants is relatively mild. Our study expands the TSHR variant spectrum and provides further evidence for the elucidation of the genetic etiology of CH.

Objective To observe the influence of nintedanib ethanesulfonate soft capsules combined with tetrandrine tablets on pulmonary function and dyspnea symptoms in patients with connective tissue disease-related pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.Methods Patients with connective tissue disease-related pulmonary interstitial fibrosis were divided into treatment group and control group by cohort method.The control group was given basic treatment such as glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants according to the patient's condition;the treatment group was given ethanesulfonate nintedanib soft capsules(100 mg,bid)and tetrandrine tablets(40 mg,tid)on the basis of the control group,and the treatment course was 3 months.The clinical efficacy,severity of dyspnea[modified British Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale(mMRC)and St.George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ)],pulmonary function indicators,pulmonary fibrosis score,and blood gas analysis indicators were compared between the two groups,and the safety was assessed.Results A total of 42 cases were included in the treatment group and the control group,respectively.The total effective rates of the treatment group and the control group were 92.86％(39 cases/42 cases)and 76.19％(32 cases/42 cases)respectively(P＜0.05).After treatment,the mMRC scores of the treatment group and the control group were(1.43±0.27)and(1.69±0.31)points;the SGRQ scores were(46.51±4.39)and(51.08±4.76)points;the forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)values were(64.96±6.55)％and(58.67±5.01)％;the fibrosis scores were(1.12±0.14)and(1.26±0.18)points;the partial pressure of arterial oxygen values were(80.31±7.03)and(75.02±6.94)mmHg.The above indexes of the treatment group were compared with those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).There were no adverse drug reactions in the treatment group,and the main adverse drug reactions in the control group were gastrointestinal discomfort.The total incidence rates of adverse drug reactions in the treatment group and the control group were 0 and 2.38％,respectively(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with basic treatment,nintedanib ethanesulfonate soft capsules combined with tetrandrine tablets can better improve the pulmonary fibrosis degree and dyspnea degree in patients with connective tissue disease-related pulmonary interstitial fibrosis,and delay the decline of pulmonary function of patients.

Objective Viral encephalitis is an infectious disease severely affecting human health.It is caused by a wide variety of viral pathogens,including herpes viruses,flaviviruses,enteroviruses,and other viruses.The laboratory diagnosis of viral encephalitis is a worldwide challenge.Recently,high-throughput sequencing technology has provided new tools for diagnosing central nervous system infections.Thus,In this study,we established a multipathogen detection platform for viral encephalitis based on amplicon sequencing. Methods We designed nine pairs of specific polymerase chain reaction(PCR)primers for the 12 viruses by reviewing the relevant literature.The detection ability of the primers was verified by software simulation and the detection of known positive samples.Amplicon sequencing was used to validate the samples,and consistency was compared with Sanger sequencing. Results The results showed that the target sequences of various pathogens were obtained at a coverage depth level greater than 20×,and the sequence lengths were consistent with the sizes of the predicted amplicons.The sequences were verified using the National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST,and all results were consistent with the results of Sanger sequencing. Conclusion Amplicon-based high-throughput sequencing technology is feasible as a supplementary method for the pathogenic detection of viral encephalitis.It is also a useful tool for the high-volume screening of clinical samples.

Objective:To explore the value of coronary artery plaque progression parameters based on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in predicting the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease.Methods:The study included clinical, imaging, and prognosis (MACE) parameters of non-obstructive coronary artery disease patients who underwent CCTA at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2010 to December 2022. Patients were grouped based on the occurrence of MACE, and differences in clinical data, plaque baseline, and progression parameters between the two groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were employed to identify factors that could effectively predict the occurrence of MACE in patients. Models were constructed using plaque baseline parameters, plaque progression parameters, and a combination of both. The concordance index-time curve, net reclassification improvement and integrated discrimination improvement were used to evaluate the risk stratification ability of the models.Results:A total of 258 patients were included, of whom 62 cases experienced MACE during the follow-up period. In comparison to the MACE(-) group, patients in the MACE(+) group exhibited longer lesion length, greater degree of stenosis, larger plaque total volume, calcified plaque volume, non-calcified plaque volume, fibrous plaque volume, total plaque burden, lipid-rich plaque burden, higher peri-coronary adipose tissue attenuation index (FAI), and annual change of diameter stenosis(ΔDS/y). There were also more cases of coronary artery disease reporting and data system upgrades and non-obstructive progression to obstructive status ( P<0.05). Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that FAI, ΔDS/y, and non-obstructive progression to obstructive status were independent predictors of MACE occurrence. Concordance index-time curve results indicated that the combined model had a better predictive efficacy for MACE in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease compared to models based on plaque baseline parameters and plaque progression parameters. Conclusion:The plaque progression parameters and FAI based on CCTA have the potential to predict the high-risk population for MACE in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease, demonstrating good risk stratification value.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the distribution and antimicrobial resistance changes of Gram-negative(G-)bacteria,as well as related clinical characteristics of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis(PDRP)in elderly patients,provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Elderly PDRP patients in three tertiary first-class hospitals in a city from January 2015 to December 2022 were analyzed,distribution and antimicro-bial resistance of G-bacterial PDRP pathogens,as well as incidence,clinical characteristics and prognosis of PDRP were analyzed.Results A total of 247 elderly peritoneal dialysis(PD)patients developed 406 episodes of PDRP.The overall incidence and incidence of Gram-positive(G+)bacterial PDRP in elderly PD patients showed a down-ward trend year by year(both P＜0.05),while the incidence of G-bacterial PDRP showed no significant down-ward trend(P＞0.05).A total of 96 cases(106 episodes)of G-bacterial PDRP occurred in elderly PD patients,with Escherichia coli being the predominant strain(38.68％).Compared with 2015-2018,there was no significant change in the susceptibility rates of G-bacteria isolated from elderly PDRP patients to piperacillin/tazobactam,cefo-perazone/sulbactam,imipenem,meropenem,and amikacin in 2019-2022,all of which were highly susceptible.The resistance rate to cefotaxime increased(P=0.033).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high serum C-reactive protein,high white blood cell count in PD fluid on the first day,and long time for white blood cell count in PD fluid to return to normal were risk factors for G-bacterial PDRP in elderly PD patients(all P＜0.05).The cure rate of elderly PDRP patients in G-bacterial group(83.96％)was lower than that of the G+bacterial group(93.01％),with statistically difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is no obvious downward trend in the incidence of G-bacterial PDRP in elderly PD patients,aminoglycosides can be used as the first choice for empirical treatment of G-bacterial PDRP.
