Objective :
o evaluate the association between Crohn's disease (CD) and frailty using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, so as to provide the evidence for prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
Genetic association data for CD were collected through the International Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium, with 20 883 samples and 12 276 506 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), and genetic association data for frailty were collected through a meta-analysis including 175 226 samples and 7 589 717 SNPs. A forward MR analysis was performed using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method with 37 CD-associated SNPs as instrumental variables, and frailty as the study outcome, and a reverse MR analysis was performed with 13 frailty-associated SNPs as instrumental variables and CD as the study outcome. The heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran's Q test, and the horizontal pleiotropy was assessed using the MR-PRESSO global test and MR-Egger regression. In addition, the robustness of the results was verified with the leave-one-out.
Results:
Forward MR analysis results showed that patients with genetically predicted CD had an increased risk of frailty index relative to those without CD (β=0.018, 95%CI: 0.011-0.026, P<0.05). Cochran's Q test detected no heterogeneity (P>0.05), and neither the MR-PRESSO test nor the MR-Egger regression revealed horizontal pleiotropy of instrumental variables (both P>0.05). Leave-one-out analysis showed robustness of the MR analysis results. Reverse MR analysis showed no association between frailty index and the risk of CD (OR=0.740, 95%CI: 0.206-2.661, P>0.05).
Conclusions
Genetically predicted CD is associated with an increased risk of frailty. It is suggested that screening and prevention of frailty should be reinforced among CD patients.

Objective:To observe any effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation on brain activity, cognitive impairment and depression (PSCCID) after a stroke.Methods:Thirty patients with PSCCID after a stroke were randomly assigned into an observation or a control group, each of 15. For four weeks, both groups received basic medication to nourish the nerves, improve circulation, and anti-platelet, as well as 50mg/d of oral sertraline hydrochloride. Their rehabilitation involved 40 minutes of exercise daily, 30 minutes of assignment therapy and cognitive function training. The therapy was administered 5 days a week for the 4 weeks. In addition, the observation group received daily rTMS applied over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at 10Hz and 100% of the motor threshold. Functional MRI was used before and after the treatment to assess the subjects′ cognition and depression, as well as any changes in the regional homogeneity (ReHo) and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFFs) in regions of interest.Results:Significant improvement was observed in the subjects′ average Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) and Hamilton Depression Scale 17-item (HAMD-17) scores, with those of the observation group significantly better than those of the control group on average. After the intervention the observation group presented several brain regions with altered ReHo and ALFF values compared with before the treatment and compared with the control group. The increases were mainly on the stimulated side while the decreases were mainly on the contralateral side. The increased ReHo in the left orbital gyrus correlated significantly with the average MMSE, MoCA and HAMD-17 scores. The increased amplitude of fluctuations in the left Heschl′s gyrus correlated significantly with the average MMSE and MoCA scores.Conclusion:rTMS can relieve depression and promote cognition after a stroke. Its effects may be associated with altered brain activity in regions related to cognitive and emotional processing.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of nutritional and fluid status measured by bioelectrical impedance methods for the prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Methods Patients with severe AKI received CRRT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2016 to September 2018 were enrolled, and divided into death group and survival group according to 28-day survival. Cox regression was used to analyze the association between 28-day survival and lean tissue index (LTI), fat tissue index (FTI), the ratio of extracellular water (ECW) and body cell mass (BCM) (ECW/BCM), and overhydration (OH), respectively. Results A total of 156 patients were included, including 101 males and 55 females. The age was (62.7 ± 15.4) years, with sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score of 9.9±3.9. The 28-day mortality rate was 46.2%. The pre-CRRT OH values in the 28-day survival group and death group were 2.95(1.80, 5.50) L and 4.20(2.95, 5.70) L(P=0.016), and ECW/BCM values were 1.00(0.76, 1.18) and 1.07(0.88, 1.25) (P=0.033), respectively. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that pre-CRRT high OH values (HR=1.08, 95%CI 1.00-1.17, P=0.040) and high ECW/BCM values (HR=3.02, 95%CI 1.46-6.22, P=0.003) were associated with 28-day death. The changes of OH values (HR=0.83, 95%CI 0.72-0.95, P=0.008) and ECW/BCM values (HR=6.79, 95%CI 1.72-26.82, P=0.006) between pre - CRRT and the 7th day after CRRT initiation were significantly associated with 28-day mortality in patients who survived 7 days after CRRT initiation. After adjusting for age, gender, and SOFA scores, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the high OH value (HR=1.16, 95%CI 1.06-1.27, P=0.002) and the high ECW/BCM value (HR=2.80, 95%CI 1.30-6.06, P=0.003) before CRRT, the change of OH value (HR=0.82, 95%CI 0.72-0.95, P=0.008) and ECW/BCM value (HR=2.79, 95%CI 1.30-5.98, P=0.009) between the 7th day after CRRT initiation and pre-CRRT, were independently associated with 28-day death, while LTI (HR=0.93, 95%CI 0.86-1.02, P=0.113) and FTI (HR=0.98, 95% CI 0.92-1.04, P=0.475) before CRRT were uncorrelated with 28-day death. Conclusions In bioelectrical impedance analysis, the high OH value and high ECW/BCM value before CRRT are associated with 28-day mortality in patients with AKI, while the nutritional indicators LTI and FTI before CRRT are not significantly related. The correction of fluid overload by CRRT within 7 days may reduce the risk of 28-day mortality.
