Objective:To preliminarily explore the association of pregnancy factors with cow's milk protein allergy in infants.Methods:This study was based on data from a subcohort of a study called ge-netic susceptibility to cow's milk allergy in Chinese children,including infants born in Peking University People's Hospital between March 1,2020,and December 31,2020.The infants were divided into a cow's milk protein allergy(CMPA)group and a control group according to whether they had developed cow's milk protein allergy at the age of 1 year.We retrospectively collected the clinical data of infants and their mothers before and during pregnancy,and analyzed the association of multiple factors during pregnancy with cow's milk protein allergy in infants.Results:A total of 278 infants were enrolled in this study,including 52 infants with CMPA and 226 infants without CMPA.Among them,there were 143 boys and 135 girls.The proportion of male infants in the CMPA group(69.2％)was higher than that in the control group(47.3％),and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.004).There were no significant differences in the distribution of birth weight,gestational age at birth,low-birth-weight in-fants,premature,umbilical cord entangle neck,and neonatal asphyxia between the CMPA group and the control group(P＞0.05).The proportion of mothers complicated with autoimmune diseases,anemia or antibiotics exposure during pregnancy in the CMPA group was higher than that in the control group,and there were statistical differences between the two groups(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the distribution of other pregnancy complications between the two groups(P＞0.05),such as eclamp-sia/preeclampsia,chronic hypertension/gestational hypertension,diabetes/gestational diabetes,thyroid diseases,and so on.There was no significant difference in the overall distribution of some blood routine indexes during pregnancy between the CMPA group and the control group(P＞0.05).Multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis showed that male infant,mothers complicated with autoimmune diseases or ane-mia,antibiotic exposure during pregnancy were independent risk factors for cow's milk protein allergy.Conclusion:Male infant,mothers complicated with autoimmune diseases or anemia,antibiotic exposure during pregnancy were independent risk factors for cow's milk protein allergy.

Objective To analyze the risk factors influencing the occurrence of atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to construct and evaluate a nomogram prediction model. Methods Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus, and R software was used to build a nomogram prediction model. The accuracy and clinical validity of the model were verified by using H-L fit curve, area under ROC curve and calibration curve. Results The prevalence rate of atherosclerosis was 56.37%. Independent risk factors for atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (P<0.05) were body weight (OR=1.42，P<0.05), glycated serum protein (OR=1.35, P<0.05), lactate dehydrogenase (OR=1.17, P<0.05), alkaline phosphatase (OR=0.79, P<0.05), hyperlipidemia (OR=2.30, P<0.05), stroke (OR=4.20, P<0.05), coronary heart disease (OR=64.54, P<0.05), lower extremity artery disease (OR=24.52, P<0.05), and other endocrine diseases (OR=1.65 , P<0.05). The area under ROC curve was 0.91, the slope of the calibration curve was close to 1, and the H-L fit curve χ²=3.11. The internal verification result of the constructed nomogram prediction model was P=0.93. External verification of patients in the test set showed that the area under ROC curve was 0.91, indicating good differentiation and accuracy of the model. Conclusion The prediction model established by using the risk factors screened in this study has a high accuracy and differentiation, and medical staff can take effective prevention measures according to the individual factors of patients.

The essence of clinical practice guidelines lies in their recommendations. It is common to find strong recommendations supported by low-quality evidence in current published guidelines. There is a typical misunderstanding among medical professionals that without high-quality evidence, it is impossible to develop high-quality guidelines or only expert consensus can be developed. Based on the GRADE approach, this paper explains the concept and clinical significance of low-quality evidence, and introduces the methods for formulating recommendations based on low-quality evidence in guidelines, with the aim to provide reference for guideline developers and users in China.

Objective:To study the effects of metformin on marginal bone resorption of implants in patients with type 2 diabetes melli-tus(T2DM)and exercise habit.Methods:63 cases with 73 implants were included.Among them,there were 41 cases(47 implants)without T2DM in group N,10 cases(13 implants)with T2DM and without exercise habit in group M,12 cases(12 implants)with T2DM and exercise habit in the MR group.The patients were followed up at 6 months,1 and 2 years after implantation.The marginal bone loss(MBL).Implantation success rate and peri-implantitis incidence rate were compared among the groups.Results:The bone resorption of the proximal and median margins of the long-term bone level of the implants in the N and MR groups were significantly lower than that in the M group(P=0.001 and P=0.000 5,respectively).The implant success rates of group N,MR and M were 95.74％,100％and 76.92％,respectively.The incidence of peri-implantitis of the three groups was 2.13％,0 and 15.38％,respec-tively.Conclusion:Metformin is more effective in the improvement of the long-term marginal bone resorption of implants,increase the success rate of implants,and reduce the incidence of peri-implantitis in patients with T2DM and exercise habit in the mandibular first molar area.

Objective To investigate the application value of multimodality MRI in diagnosing placenta accreta(PA).Methods The imaging data of 62 patients with PA confirmed by clinical intraoperative diagnosis or postoperative pathology were analyzed retrospectively,and the diagnostic accuracy of multimodality MRI for PA was assessed by comparing multimodality MRI manifestations with clinical intraoperative diagnosis or postoperative pathology findings.Results According to the multimodality MRI findings,62 cases of PA were divided into adhesive PA(n=10),implanted PA(n=39),and penetrating PA(n=13).According to the clinical intraoperative diagnosis or postoperative pathology,62 cases of PA were divided into adhesive PA(n=10),implanted PA(n=40),and penetrating PA(n=12).The multimodality MRI manifestations were in good agreement with clinical intraoperative diagnosis or postoperative pathology,with an overall accuracy of 88.7％.Taking clinical intraoperative diagnosis or postoperative pathology as the"gold standard",the accuracy of multimodality MRI in diagnosing adhesive PA,implanted PA,and penetrating PA were 87.10％,88.71％,and 91.94％,respectively;the sensitivity were 70.00％,92.50％,and 91.67％,respectively;and the specificity were 94.00％,85.71％,and 97.87％,with Kappa values of 0.640,0.815 and 0.848,respectively.Conclusion Multimodality MRI has a high accuracy in diagnosing PA and can be used as a routine screening method for PA in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between gestational weight gain (GWG) in twin pregnancies and adverse perinatal outcomes.Methods:This retrospective study included twin pregnant women with live births at≥25 weeks of gestation and their offspring, who delivered at Peking University People's Hospital from January 2012 to October 2022. Total GWG was standardized according to gestational age and categorized into three groups based on the 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines: insufficient GWG (GWG below IOM recommendations), appropriate GWG (GWG within IOM recommendations), and excessive GWG (GWG above IOM recommendations). Comparisons between data of the three groups used analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test or Bonferroni correction or Chi-square partitions. Multivariable logistic regression models and generalized estimating equations with logistic regression models were used to analyze the independent effects of GWG on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Results:A total of 794 twin pregnant women and their 1 588 live-born neonates were included in the study. There were 360 women (45.3%) with appropriate GWG, 356 (44.8%) with insufficient GWG, and 78 (9.8%) with excessive GWG. Both insufficient and excessive GWG were associated with an increased risk of preterm birth [adjusted ORs of 1.39 (95% CI: 1.04-1.88) and 1.70 (95% CI: 1.05-2.78), respectively]. Insufficient GWG was associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.00-2.01) and low birth weight infants (adjusted OR=2.04, 95% CI: 1.57-2.66). Insufficient GWG was also associated with a reduced risk of eclampsia or preeclampsia (adjusted OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.33-0.75), cesarean section (adjusted OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.30-0.77), discordant twin growth (adjusted OR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.37-0.85), and large for gestational age infants (adjusted OR=0.46, 95% CI: 0.35-0.61). Excessive GWG was associated with an increased risk of eclampsia or preeclampsia (adjusted OR=2.85, 95% CI: 1.65-4.91), and large for gestational age infants (adjusted OR=2.49, 95% CI: 1.60-3.86), while with a decreased risk of low birth weight infants (adjusted OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.27-0.65). Conclusions:More than half of the twin pregnancies have GWG outside the recommended range of the IOM guidelines. Both insufficient and excessive GWG are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, particularly an increased risk of preterm birth.

Purpose: The risk stratification of pediatric anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has not been standardized. In this study, new risk factors were included to establish a new risk stratification system for ALCL, and its feasibility in clinical practice was explored. Materials and Methods: On the basis of the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Berlin–Frankfurt–Munster 95 (NHL-BFM-95) protocol, patients with minimal disseminated disease (MDD), high-risk tumor site (multiple bone, skin, liver, and lung involvement), and small cell/lymphohistiocytic (SC/LH) pathological subtype were enrolled in risk stratification. Patients were treated with a modified NHL-BFM-95 protocol combined with an anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor or vinblastine (VBL). Results: A total of 136 patients were enrolled in this study. The median age was 8.8 years. The 3-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival of the entire cohort were 77.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 69.0% to 83.9%) and 92.3% (95% CI, 86.1% to 95.8%), respectively. The 3-year EFS rates of low-risk group (R1), intermediate-risk group (R2), and high-risk group (R3) patients were 100%, 89.5% (95% CI, 76.5% to 95.5%), and 67.9% (95% CI, 55.4% to 77.6%), respectively. The prognosis of patients with MDD (+), stage IV cancer, SC/LH lymphoma, and high-risk sites was poor, and the 3-year EFS rates were 45.3% (95% CI, 68.6% to 19.0%), 65.7% (95% CI, 47.6% to 78.9%), 55.7% (95% CI, 26.2% to 77.5%), and 70.7% (95% CI, 48.6% to 84.6%), respectively. At the end of follow-up, one of the five patients who received maintenance therapy with VBL relapsed, and seven patients receiving anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor maintenance therapy did not experience relapse. Conclusion This study has confirmed the poor prognostic of MDD (+), high-risk site and SC/LH, but patients with SC/LH lymphoma and MDD (+) at diagnosis still need to receive better treatment (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03971305).

Schizothorax argentatus that only distributes in the Ili River basin in Xinjiang is one of the rare and endangered species of schizothorax in China, thus has high scientific and economic values. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of S. argenteus with a length of 16 580 bp was obtained by high-throughput sequencing. The gene compositions and arrangement were similar to those of typical vertebrates. It contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding region (D-loop). The nucleotide compositions were A (30.25%), G (17.28%), C (27.20%), and T (25.27%), respectively, showing obvious AT bias and anti-G bias. Among the tRNA genes, only tRNA-Ser^(GCU) could not form a typical cloverleaf structure due to the lack of dihydrouracil arm. The AT-skew and GC-skew values of the ND6 gene were fluctuating the most, suggesting that the gene may experience different selection and mutation pressures from other genes. The mitochondrial control region of S. argenteus contained three different domains, i.e., termination sequence region (ETAS), central conserved region (CSB-F, CSB-E, CSB-D, and CSB-B), and conserved sequence region (CSB1, CSB2, and CSB3). The conserved sequence fragment TT (AT) nGTG, which was ubiquitous in Cypriniformes, was identified at about 50 bp downstream CSB3. Phylogenetic relationships based on the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of 28 Schizothorax species showed that S. argenteus had differentiated earlier and had a distant relationship with other species, which may be closely related to the geographical location and the hydrological environment where it lives.
