Objective To analyze the clinical risk factors for chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes and their correlation with bone mineral density and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Methods A total of 163 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected as research subjects and were divided into complication group and non-complication group according to the presence or absence of chronic complications. The independent related factors for chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were analyzed. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between bone mineral density, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and chronic complications. Results Among the 326 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 202 developed chronic complications (61.96%), including 71 cases of cardiovascular disease, 59 cases of neuropathy, 33 cases of renal lesion, and 28 cases of retinopathy. There were statistically significant differences in the duration of diabetes mellitus, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum creatinine, bone mineral density, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 between the complication group and the non-complication group (P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that the duration of diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, ow density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum creatinine, bone mineral density, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were all independent related factors for the occurrence of chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that bone mineral density and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were negatively correlated with chronic complications (P<0.05). Conclusion Bone mineral density and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are closely related to chronic complications.

Objective To mine adverse drug event(ADE)signals of doxycycline using the U.S.Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)database,and provide scientific evidence for clinical medication safety.Methods The data from the FAERS database between the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2024 were extracted.After data cleaning and standardization,ADE reports with doxycycline as the main suspected drug were screened.The system organ class(SOC)of ADE was performed using MedDRA,and the reporting odds ratio method and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency method were used to mine ADE signals.The information component method was also used to evaluate signal strength.Results A total of 43 126 ADE reports with doxycycline as the primary suspected drug were collected,involving 14 642 patients,with a higher proportion of female patients(57.32％).There were 555 related ADE signals involving 26 SOC,with the top 5 SOC being gastrointestinal disorders,skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders,injuries,poisonings,and procedural complications,psychiatric disorders,and infections and infestations.The top 5 ADE signals with the highest signal intensity were Hatch reaction,sclerosing cholangitis,esophageal ulcer,gastrointestinal mucosal necrosis,and gastrointestinal injury.Among the ADE signals with the strongest signal strength not listed in the package insert,the top five were sclerosing cholangitis,nephrogenic diabetes insipidus,minimal change glomerular nephritis,diabetes insipidus and Sixth cranial nerve paralysis.Conclusion In clinical practice,particular attention should be paid to the frequent ADEs caused by doxycycline,as well as those not yet documented in the package insert,which involve multiple SOC such as renal and urinary disorders,hepatobiliary diseases,blood and lymphatic system disorders,and endocrine disorders.Therefore,clinical pharmacists should play a key role in assisting clinicians to develop and implement prevention plans for ADEs,thereby improving the safety of doxycycline in clinical use.

Hv1 is the only voltage-gated proton-selective channel in mammalian cells. It contains a conserved voltage-sensor domain, shared by a large class of voltage-gated ion channels, but lacks a pore domain. Its primary role is to extrude protons from the cytoplasm upon pH reduction and membrane depolarization. The best-known function of Hv1 is the regulation of cytosolic pH and the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase-dependent production of reactive oxygen species. Accumulating evidence indicates that Hv1 is expressed in nervous systems, in addition to immune cells and others. Here, we summarize the molecular properties, distribution, and physiological functions of Hv1 in the peripheral and central nervous systems. We describe the recently discovered functions of Hv1 in various neurological diseases, including brain or spinal cord injury, ischemic stroke, demyelinating diseases, and pain. We also summarize the current advances in the discovery and application of Hv1-targeted small molecules in neurological diseases. Finally, we discuss the current limitations of our understanding of Hv1 and suggest future research directions.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Objective:To detective the cut-off values of amino acid levels in premature infants in Sichuan.Methods:Data of newborns screening for inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) by tandem mass spectrometry in Sichuan Province from January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into premature infant group ( n=2 264, 1 312 males and 952 females) and full-term infant group ( n=53 275, 28 269 males and 25 006 females). The cut-off values of amino acids in dry blood spots were expressed as percentage ( P0.5 - P99.5), and rank sum test was used for comparison between preterm and full-term infants.

Objective To analyze association of the cardiometabolic index (CMI) with risk of metabolism-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Methods This study recruited 480 individuals from Inpatient Department of Gastroenterology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical College from January 2018 to December 2020 and divided into MAFLD ( n =202) and non-MAFLD groups ( n =278) for comparison of the CMI and related biochemical and FibroScan parameters. The independent samples t -test was performed for comparison of normally distributed continuous data, while the Mann-Whitney U test was performed for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between these two groups of individuals. These individuals were then divided into Q1-Q4 subgroups based on their CMI and then subjected to the Kruskal-Wallis H test to compare the distribution of the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) between these two groups of patients. Finally, a Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate MAFLD risk at different CMI scores (Q1-Q4). Results Compared with the non-MAFLD individuals, the MAFLD group had significantly higher levels of CMI, CAP, LSM, body weight, waist circumference, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transferase, serum uric acid, and fasting blood glucose, but significantly lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (all P < 0.01). Moreover, there was significant difference in the CAP among different CMI quartile levels in these individuals ( χ 2 =15.220, P =0.002). The multivariate logistic regression analytic data revealed that the CMI in the Q4 was an independent predictor for MAFLD risk vs. the CMI in the Q1 quantile ones (95% confidence interval, 1.415-8.764, OR =3.521; P < 0.01) after adjustment for related risk factors. Conclusion A higher CMI score (Q4) was associated with a MAFLD risk and a gradual increase in the CMI score was with the increased number of MAFLD patients and fibrosis risk, indicating that a routine health check-up and measurement of CMI could help to identify and control MAFLD early.

Objective:To investigate the expression of hsa_circ_0019413 in the peripheral blood of patients with primary Sj?gren's syndrome (pSS) and its role in the development of pSS disease.Methods:Microarray screening of circ ribonucleic acid (circRNA) changes was first performed in the peripheral blood of 4 pSS patients and 4 healthy controls. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to verify the difference in the expression of hsa_circ_0019413 in the peripheral blood of 30 pSS patients and 30 controls. By establishing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the potential diagnostic value of hsa_circ_0019413 in peripheral blood was analyzed, and the expression level of hsa_circ_0019413 was correlated with the clinical presentations of patients with pSS.Results:① By microarray analysis, 437 circRNAs were differentially expressed between the two groups (FC≥2.0, P<0.05), of which 365 were up-regulated and 72 were down-regulated. ② The expression level of hsa_circ_0019413 in pSS patients was significantly higher than that in healthy controls by qPCR. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). It showed that hsa_circ_0019413 in peripheral blood of pSS patients had potential diagnostic value by ROC curve analysis [area under the curve (AUC)=0.883, 95% CI (0.782, 0.984), P<0.01]. ③ The expression level of hsa_circ_0019413 was positively correlated with the ESSDAI, ANA, titer of the pSS patients by correlation analysis ( r=0.721, P=0.012; r=0.625, P=0.040), but not with (immunoglobulin (Ig)G or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Conclusion:Hsa_circ_0019413 in the peripheral blood may be involved in the development of pSS and may be a biomarker for the diagnosis of pSS.

Objective:To evaluate the application of computer-assisted design and three-dimensional printing technique in reconstruction of maxillary defects with individual free fibular flap.Methods:A total of 13 patients, 7 males and 6 females with age from 12 to 55 years old, underwent the reconstruction of maxillary defects after subtotal or total maxillectomy for benign or malignant tumors between January 2016 and December 2018 were reviewed. Ther were 4 cases of subtotal maxillectomy and 9 cases of total maxillectomy. Before operation, osteotomy line was planned on three-dimensional images. A three-dimensional individual resin fibula model based on mirror images of the healthy side maxilla was obtained to fabricate an anatomically adapted osteomyocutaneous fibula free flap using computer-assisted design and forming. Oral, nasal, and eye functions and facial appearance were evaluated.Results:The 13 cases were followed up for 5-40 months, all flaps were alive except one due to flap failure and all cases were tumor free confirmed by CT or MRI. Ten patients could eat normal food without nasal food return, and 3 cases had palatal fistula. Eleven cases showed good speaking functional results. All cases had normal eye positions, no cases with diplopia and loss of vision. With evaluation by VAS, an average score of 8 was obtained, and most of patients were satisfied with their postoperative facial appearances.Conclusion:Reconstruction of maxillary defects by free fibular flap designed by three-dimensional printing and computer-assisted technique not only restored oral, nasal and eye functions, but also showed satisfactory facial appearance.
