A trajectory similarity computation method based on GAT-based transformer and CNN model.

Trajectory similarity computation is very important for trajectory data mining. It is applied into many trajectory mining tasks, including trajectory clustering, trajectory classification and trajectory search etc. So efficient trajectory similarity computation method is very useful for improving trajectory mining result. Nowadays many trajectory similarity computation methods have been proposed. But most of them can not be applied into long trajectories similarity calculation efficiently. So a new algorithm called TrajGAT is proposed. This algorithm can calculate similarity for long trajectories. It treats long trajectory as a long sequence. By doing so, long-term dependency of long trajectory is considered by this algorithm while computing similarity value. But, the spatial feature of long trajectories is not considered. As long trajectory can be presented in many different shapes, if two long trajectories are judged as similar trajectories, the outline shape of these two trajectories should be similar as well. To solve this problem, a new trajectory similarity computation method is proposed in this paper. This method not only takes the long-term dependence feature into consideration, but also considers the outline feature of long trajectory. The proposed method employs GAT-based transformer to extract long-term dependence feature from long trajectory. And it applies Convolutional Neural Network to extract outline feature.

Antibody-secreting cells as a source of NR1-IgGs in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-antibody encephalitis.

BACKGROUND: The pathogenicity of NR1-IgGs in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-antibody encephalitis is known, but the immunobiological mechanisms underlying their production remain unclear. METHODS: For the first time, we explore the origin of NR1-IgGs and evaluate the contribution of B-cells to serum NR1-IgGs levels. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from patients and healthy controls (HCs). Naïve, unswitched memory (USM), switched memory B cells (SM), antibody-secreting cells (ASCs), and PBMC depleted of ASCs were obtained by fluorescence-activated cell sorting and cultured in vitro. RESULTS: For some patients, PBMCs spontaneously produced NR1-IgGs. Compared to the patients in PBMC negative group, the positive group had higher NR1-IgG titers in cerebrospinal fluid and Modified Rankin scale scores. The proportions of NR1-IgG positive wells in PBMCs cultures were correlated with NR1-IgGs titers in serum and CSF. The purified ASCs, SM, USM B cells produced NR1-IgGs in vitro. Compared to the patients in ASCs negative group, the positive group exhibited a worse response to second-line IT at 3-month follow-up. Naïve B cells also produce NR1-IgGs, implicating that NR1-IgGs originate from naïve B cells and a pre-germinal centres defect in B cell tolerance checkpoint in some patients. For HCs, no NR1-IgG from cultures was observed. PBMC depleted of ASCs almost eliminated the production of NR1-IgGs. CONCLUSIONS: These collective findings suggested that ASCs might mainly contribute to the production of peripheral NR1-IgG in patients with NMDAR-antibody encephalitis in the acute phase. Our study reveals the pathogenesis and helps develop tailored treatments (eg, anti-CD38) for NMDAR-antibody encephalitis.

Mendelian randomization evidence for the causal effect of mental well-being on healthy aging.

Mental well-being relates to multitudinous lifestyle behaviours and morbidities and underpins healthy aging. Thus far, causal evidence on whether and in what pattern mental well-being impacts healthy aging and the underlying mediating pathways is unknown. Applying genetic instruments of the well-being spectrum and its four dimensions including life satisfaction, positive affect, neuroticism and depressive symptoms (n = 80,852 to 2,370,390), we performed two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses to estimate the causal effect of mental well-being on the genetically independent phenotype of aging (aging-GIP), a robust and representative aging phenotype, and its components including resilience, self-rated health, healthspan, parental lifespan and longevity (n = 36,745 to 1,012,240). Analyses were adjusted for income, education and occupation. All the data were from the largest available genome-wide association studies in populations of European descent. Better mental well-being spectrum (each one Z-score higher) was causally associated with a higher aging-GIP (ß [95% confidence interval (CI)] in different models ranging from 1.00 [0.82-1.18] to 1.07 [0.91-1.24] standard deviations (s.d.)) independent of socioeconomic indicators. Similar association patterns were seen for resilience (ß [95% CI] ranging from 0.97 [0.82-1.12] to 1.04 [0.91-1.17] s.d.), self-rated health (0.61 [0.43-0.79] to 0.76 [0.59-0.93] points), healthspan (odds ratio [95% CI] ranging from 1.23 [1.02-1.48] to 1.35 [1.11-1.65]) and parental lifespan (1.77 [0.010-3.54] to 2.95 [1.13-4.76] years). Two-step Mendelian randomization mediation analyses identified 33 out of 106 candidates as mediators between the well-being spectrum and the aging-GIP: mainly lifestyles (for example, TV watching and smoking), behaviours (for example, medication use) and diseases (for example, heart failure, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, stroke, coronary atherosclerosis and ischaemic heart disease), each exhibiting a mediation proportion of >5%. These findings underscore the importance of mental well-being in promoting healthy aging and inform preventive targets for bridging aging disparities attributable to suboptimal mental health.

Association of cardiovascular disease prevalence with BMD and fracture in men with T2DM.

BACKGROUND: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are predisposed to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Bone mineral density (BMD) is linked to CVD, but most studies focused on women. Our analysis aims to explore the association of BMD and fracture with the prevalence of CVD in men with T2DM. METHODS: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 856 men with T2DM were enrolled. BMDs at the lumbar spine (L2-4), femoral neck (FN), and total hip (TH) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The CVD outcome was determined as the sum of the following conditions: congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, the requirement for coronary artery revascularization, and stroke. The relationship between BMDs and CVD was investigated by restricted cubic spline curves and logistic regression models. RESULTS: A total of 163 (19.0%) patients developed CVD. The restricted cubic spline curve revealed a linear and negative association between FN-BMD, TH-BMD, and CVD. After full adjustments for confounding covariates, the odds ratios were 1.34 (95% confidence interval [CI] [1.11-1.61], p < .05), 1.3 (95% CI [1.05-1.60], p < .05), and 1.26 (95% CI [1.02-1.55], p < .05) for each 1-SD decrease in BMDs of L2-4, FN and TH, respectively. T-scores of < -1 for BMD of L2-4 and FN were independently associated with CVD (p < .05). Subgroup analyses further supported our findings. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of CVD was inversely correlated with BMD levels in men with T2DM, particularly at the FN. We hypothesized that monitoring FN-BMD and early intervention would help reduce CVD risk in men with T2DM, especially those with hypertension.

Diagnosis of an epidermoid retroperitoneal cyst via ultrasound: A case report.

Retroperitoneal cysts (RPCs) are rare types of cyst in the retroperitoneal space that are frequently misdiagnosed as gynecological tumors. This case report details, an epidermoid RPC, identified through 2D ultrasound, with attempts to visualize its rendered images using 3D ultrasound. A 39-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital following the detection of a pelvic mass during a routine physical examination. Initially, the lesion was suspected to be an ovarian tumor, but subsequent ultrasound investigations suggested an epidermoid RPC. This diagnosis was later confirmed by pelvic magnetic resonance imaging. The definitive diagnosis was made following laparoscopic exploration and pathological examination. This case is shared to analyze the ultrasound characteristics of epidermoid RPCs.

Benralizumab efficacy and safety in severe asthma: A randomized trial in Asia.

BACKGROUND: Benralizumab is indicated as add-on therapy in patients with uncontrolled, severe eosinophilic asthma; it has not yet been evaluated in a large Asian population with asthma in a clinical trial. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of benralizumab in patients with severe asthma in Asia. METHODS: MIRACLE (NCT03186209) was a randomized, Phase 3 study in China, South Korea, and the Philippines. Patients aged 12-75 years with severe asthma receiving medium-to-high-dose inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting ß2-agonists, stratified (2:1) by baseline blood eosinophil count (bEOS) (≥300/µL; <300/µL), were randomized (1:1) to benralizumab 30 mg or placebo. Endpoints included annual asthma exacerbation rate (AAER; primary endpoint), change from baseline at Week 48 in pre-bronchodilator (BD) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (pre-BD FEV1) and total asthma symptom score (TASS). Safety was evaluated ≤ Week 56. RESULTS: Of 695 patients randomized, 473 had baseline bEOS ≥300/µL (benralizumab n = 236; placebo n = 237). In this population, benralizumab significantly reduced AAER by 74% (rate ratio 0.26 [95% CI 0.19, 0.36], p < 0.0001) and significantly improved pre-BD FEV1 (least squares difference [LSD] 0.25 L [95% CI 0.17, 0.34], p < 0.0001) and TASS (LSD -0.25 [-0.45, -0.05], p = 0.0126) versus placebo. In patients with baseline bEOS <300/µL, there were numerical improvements in AAER, pre-BD FEV1, and TASS with benralizumab versus placebo. The frequency of adverse events was similar for benralizumab (76%) and placebo (80%) in the overall population. CONCLUSIONS: MIRACLE data reinforces the efficacy and safety of benralizumab for severe eosinophilic asthma in an Asian population, consistent with the global Phase 3 results.

Characteristics of Acid Leaching and Vibration Coupling Desorption of Gas-Saturated Coking Coal.

Permeability is a key factor affecting efficient gas drainage from coal seams, and acidification and vibration shock are effective means to increase permeability in original low-permeability coal seams. To study the gas desorption characteristics of coking coal under the coupling effect of mining disturbance and acidification permeability enhancement, taking the coal seam of Shoushan No. 1 coal as the research object, a self-built adsorption-desorption vibration test platform was used. Acid leaching vibration coupling desorption experiments at vibration frequencies of 0, 30, 60, and 100 Hz were conducted on selected particle coals with particle sizes of 0.18-0.25 and 1-3 mm. The experimental results show that the gas desorption amount of particle coal with the same particle size first increases and then decreases with the increase of vibration frequency, among which the desorption effect is the best under 60 Hz vibration condition. Under the condition of fixed vibration frequency, the desorption amount, initial desorption velocity, and velocity attenuation coefficient of particle coal increase as the particle size decreases. Under the same particle size and vibration frequency conditions, the acid leaching and vibration of coal samples have a synergistic effect on gas desorption, which is manifested in the promotion of gas desorption on the outer surface of the coal sample and the surface of open macropores. The research can provide theoretical reference for coal seam acidification and permeability enhancement under the influence of mining disturbance.

Double-balloon enteroscopy for the detection of GIST in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1.

NF1 is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease, with a prevalence of at least 1 in 4000-5000 population. The diagnosis criteria of NF1 included typical manifestations such as café-au-lait spots, frecking in the axilla or inguinal region, multiple neurofibromas, Lisch nodeules, and distinctive osseous lesions. Genetic testing shows NF1 mutation. It is essential for tumor surveillance in NF1 patients because their life expectancy is about 54 years due to malignancy. A case of NF-1 patient receive laparoscopic small bowel resection and finally diagnosed as adenocarcinoma and ganglioneuroma. About 25% of NF1 patients had GISTs , most of them were asymptomatic and some may manifest with abdominal pain, bowel obstruction, or gastrointestinal bleeding. CT and MRI are commonly used imaging modalities for GIST in NF1, while they may be negative sometimes. As DBE a more practical and non-invasive method now, we consider it is a valuable method for screening and early detecting small intestine disease for NF1 patients.

Fucoxanthin induces human melanoma cytotoxicity by thwarting the JAK2/STAT3/BCL-xL signaling axis.

Melanoma is the most lethal skin malignancy. Fucoxanthin is a marine carotenoid with significant anticancer activities. Intriguingly, Fucoxanthin's impact on human melanoma remains elusive. Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) represents a promising target in cancer therapy due to its persistent activation in various cancers, including melanoma. Herein, we revealed that Fucoxanthin is cytotoxic to human melanoma cell lines A2758 and A375 while showing limited cytotoxicity to normal human melanocytes. Apoptosis is a primary reason for Fucoxanthin's melanoma cytotoxicity, as the pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk drastically abrogated Fucoxanthin-elicited clonogenicity blockage. Besides, Fucoxanthin downregulated tyrosine 705-phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3 (Y705)), either inherently present in melanoma cells or inducible by interleukin 6 (IL-6) stimulation. Notably, ectopic expression of STAT3-C, a dominant-active STAT3 mutant, abolished Fucoxanthin-elicited melanoma cell apoptosis and clonogenicity inhibition, supporting the pivotal role of STAT3 blockage in Fucoxanthin's melanoma cytotoxicity. Moreover, Fucoxanthin lowered BCL-xL levels by blocking STAT3 activation, while ectopic BCL-xL expression rescued melanoma cells from Fucoxanthin-induced killing. Lastly, Fucoxanthin was found to diminish the levels of JAK2 with dual phosphorylation at tyrosine residues 1007 and 1008 in melanoma cells, suggesting that Fucoxanthin impairs STAT3 signaling by blocking JAK2 activation. Collectively, we present the first evidence that Fucoxanthin is cytotoxic selectively against human melanoma cells while sparing normal melanocytes. Mechanistically, Fucoxanthin targets the JAK2/STAT3/BCL-xL antiapoptotic axis to provoke melanoma cell death. This discovery implicates the potential application of Fucoxanthin as a chemopreventive or therapeutic strategy for melanoma management.

A modified technique for arteriovenous fistula anastomosis: Preserving the surrounding tissue of the vein without the use of vascular clamps.

BACKGROUND: This pilot study describes a new technique for creating an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and presents the preliminary outcomes after 1 year of follow-up. METHODS: The study included 19 patients (10 males, 9 females) with a mean age of 62 years (range 26-88 years). All patients received an AVF using a modified technique in which the surrounding tissues were not removed from the veins and no elastic loops or vascular clamps were used. RESULTS: Immediate patency was obtained for all patients. The proportion of patients experiencing primary patency at 30 days and 6 months was 89.5% and 83.1%, respectively, and cumulative patency at 30 days and 6 months was 100%. At 1 year of follow-up, primary patency was 83.1% and cumulative patency was 100%. CONCLUSIONS: Complete preservation of the surrounding venous tissue in the absence of vascular clamps successfully established AVF, with a high surgical success rate.

TIM22 and TIM29 inhibit HBV replication by up-regulating SRSF1 expression.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious global health problem. After the viruses infect the human body, the host can respond to the virus infection by coordinating various cellular responses, in which mitochondria play an important role. Evidence has shown that mitochondrial proteins are involved in host antiviral responses. In this study, we found that the overexpression of TIM22 and TIM29, the members of the inner membrane translocase TIM22 complex, significantly reduced the level of intracellular HBV DNA and RNA and secreted HBV surface antigens and E antigen. The effects of TIM22 and TIM29 on HBV replication and transcription is attributed to the reduction of core promoter activity mediated by the increased expression of SRSF1 which acts as a suppressor of HBV replication. This study provides new evidence for the critical role of mitochondria in the resistance of HBV infection and new targets for the development of treatment against HBV infection.

Calcitriol suppresses gastric cancer progression and cisplatin resistance by inhibiting glycolysis and M2 macrophage polarization through inhibition of mTOR activation.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in tumor progression, with macrophages and tumor cells interacting within the TME, influencing cancer development. Despite the known anticancer properties of calcitriol, its role in the TME remains uncertain. This study aimed to explore the effects of calcitriol on macrophages and cancer cells in the TME and its impact on gastric cancer cell proliferation and cisplatin resistance. In vitro TME models were established using conditioned medium from gastric cancer cells (CCM) and macrophages (MCM) treated with or without calcitriol. The results revealed that calcitriol treatment suppressed the expression of glycolysis-related genes and proteins (GLUT1, HKII, LDHA) in MCM-induced gastric cancer cells, leading to increased cancer cell apoptosis and reduced viability, along with decreased Cyclin D1 gene expression. Moreover, calcitriol treatment inhibited mTOR activation in MCM-induced gastric cancer cells. Additionally, calcitriol hindered CCM-induced M2 macrophage polarization by reducing CD206 expression and increasing TNFα gene expression in THP1-derived macrophages, attenuating cisplatin resistance. These findings suggest that calcitriol may impede gastric cancer progression by targeting glycolysis and M2 macrophage polarization through the regulation of mTOR activation in the TME.

Phenothiazine-based fluorescent probes for the detection of hydrazine in environment and living cells.

As an important chemical raw material, hydrazine brings convenience to people's lives and provides opportunities for human development. However, the misuse or leakage of hydrazine has brought pollution to the environment, including water, soil and living organisms. At the same time, hydrazine poses a potential threat to human health as a carcinogen. Despite the enormous challenges, it is crucial to develop an effective method to detect hydrazine in environmental samples. In this work, we have synthesized a series of probes based on phenothiazine fluorophore by the introduction of different substituents and developed a novel probe for the detection of hydrazine. The probe is capable of detecting hydrazine in aqueous solutions with high sensitivity and selectivity, and can be easily fabricated into paper test strips for use in in situ samples. In addition, the probe is effective in detecting hydrazine in water, soil, cells, and zebrafish, providing an excellent tool for detecting hydrazine in the environment.

Prenatal diagnosis and outcome of pregnancy for women with high risks by screening of fetal free DNA from peripheral blood samples / 中华医学遗传学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the results of prenatal diagnosis and outcome of pregnancy for women with a high risk for fetal aneuploidies.@*METHODS@#A total of 747 cases of prenatal diagnosis by amniocentesis due to high risks by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) were selected from January 2015 to March 2022 in the Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School. The amniotic fluid samples were subjected to chromosomal karyotyping and/or chromosomal microarray analysis. All cases were followed up by searching the birth information or telephone calls, and the results were recorded. 2 test or F test were used for comparing the difference between the groups.@*RESULTS@#Among the 747 pregnant women with a high risk by NIPT, 387 were true positives, and the overall positive predictive value (PPV) was 51.81%. The PPVs for trisomy 21 (T21), trisomy 18 (T18), trisomy 13 (T13) and sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCA) were 80.24% (199/248), 60% (48/80), 14% (7/50) and 38.97% (106/272), respectively. The PPV for T21 was significantly higher than T18 and T13 (χ2 = 85.216, P < 0.0001). The PPV for other chromosomal aneuploidies and copy number variations (CNVs) were 11.11% (5/45) and 40.74% (22/52), respectively. The PPV for increased X chromosomes was significantly higher than X chromosome decreases (64.29% vs. 22.22%, χ2 = 5.530, P < 0.05). The overall PPV for elder women (≥ 35 years old) was significantly higher than younger women (69.35% vs. 42.39%, χ2 = 49.440, P < 0.0001). For T21 and T18, the PPV of Z ≥ 10 group was significantly higher than that for 3 ≤ Z < 5 group or 5 ≤ Z < 10 group (P < 0.05). Among 52 cases with a high risk for CNVs, the PPV for the ≤ 5 Mb group was significantly higher than the 5 Mb < CNVs < 10 Mb or > 10 Mb groups (60% vs. 30%60% vs. 23.53%, P < 0.05). Among the 387 true positive cases, 322 had opted for induced labor, 53 had delivered with no abnormal growth and development, and 12 were lost during the follow-up.@*CONCLUSION@#The PPVs for common chromosomal aneuploidies are related to the age and Z value of the pregnant women, which were higher in the elder group and higher Z value group. In addition, the PPV is associated with high risk types. The PPV for T21 was higher than T18 and T13, and that for 45,X was lower than 47,XXX, 47,XYY or 47,XXY syndrome. NIPT therefore has relatively high PPVs for the identification of chromosomal CNVs.

Formation of Hyperprogression of Immunotherapy from Perspective of "Yang Deficiency and Toxin Knot" and Role of "Five Views on Differentiation and Treatment" Intervention / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Immune checkpoint inhibitors （ICIs） have shown good efficacy in tumor treatment and have changed the landscape of tumor treatment. However， some patients treated with ICIs have not only failed to achieve the desired therapeutic effect， but also developed an atypical response pattern of abnormally accelerated tumor growth， namely hyperprogressive disease （HPD）. The pathogenesis of HPD is still unclear and it is difficult to diagnose， which poses a challenge for clinical identification and treatment decisions. Exploring the underlying mechanism of HPD is important to improve the effect of immunotherapy. Based on the theory of "Yang deficiency and toxic knot"， this paper discussed the mechanism of HPD in immunotherapy from the perspective of "spleen and kidney Yang deficiency and hefty toxic pathogens". It was concluded that the inactivation of p53 oncogene and immunosuppressive microenvironment were the manifestations of the deficiency of healthy qi in the body and declined yang in the spleen and kidney， serving as an important basis for the occurrence of HPD. Adverse reactions caused by ICIs belong to the category of "drug toxicity". The occurrence and development of murine double minute 2 （MDM2）/murine double minute 4 （MDM4） activation， epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR） mutation， and tumor inflammatory microenvironment are the manifestations of the hyperactivity of pathogenic Qi， conflict of cancer toxicity and drug toxicity， and being hefty by virtue of deficiency， which can promote the abnormal proliferation of tumor cells， and they are the core pathogenic elements of HPD and are closely related to disease prognosis. In terms of treatment， under the guidance of the theory of "five views on differentiation and treatment" （time-space view， core view， symptom view， precision view， and disease-before-onset view）， which was summarized according to the clinical practice of this research team， this paper， taking the prevention and treatment of HPD as the entry point， formulated traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） compounds to reinforce healthy Qi and warm Yang and realize the dynamic management of the whole spatiotemporal cycle， and removed toxins and resisted cancer to realize the all-round systemic intervention of the specimen. Additionally， targets were enriched in the macro-clinical manifestations and microscopic pathological changes of HPD to improve the targeting of drug selection and the precision of prevention and treatment， giving full play to the unique therapeutic advantages of TCM， and providing new ideas for the clinical application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of HPD.

AIM:To compare the differences of ocular biometric parameters of age-related cataract between Tibetan and Han ethnic groups, and to analyze the distribution characteristics of ocular biometric parameters in Tibetan cataract patients.METHODS:Retrospective cohort study. A total of 661 patients(1 030 eyes)with age-related cataract confirmed in the hospital between January 2019 and December 2020 were enrolled. The parameters of axial length, anterior chamber depth, keratometry, corneal astigmatism and astigmatic axis were measured by IOL Master 500 in 483 cases(739 eyes)of Tibetan age-related cataract patients and 178 cases(291 eyes)of Han patients.RESULTS:The axial length, anterior chamber depth and corneal astigmatism of the Tibetan patients with age-related cataract were 23.33(22.81, 23.86)mm, 3.04(2.79, 3.30)mm and 0.73(0.47, 1.07)D. The mean keratometry was 43.89±1.35 D. The results indicated that Tibetan cataract patients had shorter axial lengths and smaller keratometry compared to Han patients(all P&#x003C;0.05). Age in Tibetan patients was negatively correlated with axial length and anterior chamber depth, and positively correlated with keratometry(all P&#x003C;0.05). Tibetan male patients had longer axial lengths, deeper anterior chambers, and flatter corneas compared to female patients(all P&#x003C;0.05).CONCLUSION:There were differences in ocular biometric parameters between age-related cataract patients of Tibetan and Han ethnicities. The distribution of ocular biometric parameters in Tibetan cataract patients varied across different age groups and gender groups.

Association of diabetic retinopathy with anxiety and depression / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

As society advances and living standards improve, there is a growing emphasis on the impact of mental health on illness and the interaction between them. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common underlying diseases, and it is often accompanied by depression and anxiety. There are also many complications of diabetes, such as diabetic retinopathy(DR). DR is the leading cause of vision loss in diabetes. Vision loss inevitably increases anxiety and/or depression, which in turn may directly or indirectly affect the treatment or progression of patients with DR. This article reviews how to determine the anxiety and depression status of patients with DR, related assessment tools and methods, and their interaction with the treatment of DR. The interaction of anxiety-depressive states with DR treatment was also discussed. This review aims to raise awareness of the mental health of patients with DR, enhance doctor-patient communication and build doctor-patient trust, thus enhancing treatment adherence and clinical efficacy for individuals with DR and helping them to improve the quality of life.

Effect of cognitively engaging physical activity on developing executive function of children and adolescents: a systematic review based on ICF / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo systematically review the intervention effect of cognitively engaging physical activity (CEPA) on executive function of children and adolescents. MethodsLiteratures in Chinese and English were retrieved from databases of Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, EBSCO and CNKI, from the establishment to November 30th, 2023. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the literatures that met the requirements were screened, and their quality was evaluated and systematically reviewed. ResultsA total of 15 literatures were included, published between 2014 and 2023, from eight countries, involving 1 806 subjects aged four to 16 years. The average score of PEDro scale was 6.6. The intensity of the CEPA intervention ranged from 64% to 93% HRmax, the duration of a single session ranged from ten to 60 minutes, and the frequency of the intervention was two to five sessions a week, for four to 24 weeks. Specific forms of CEPA included football, basketball and floorball combined with cognitive tasks; running, jumping, squatting, sitting, spinning and balancing combined with cognitive tasks; and exergaming combined with cognitive tasks. Eleven researches showed positive effects of CEPA intervention on at least one component of executive function. However, six of the seven researches involving working memory failed to verify the positive effects. Twelve researches compared the intervention effects of CEPA and rutine exercise or regular physical education classes, and nine researches found that CEPA was more effective on executive function. ConclusionThe CEPA is effective on the executive function of children and adolescents, specifically on cognitive flexibility; it shows inconsistent effects on inhibitory control, and its effect on working memory has not been verified. The intervention types of CEPA are divided into ball games combined with cognitive tasks, basic motor skills training combined with cognitive tasks, and exergaming combined with cognitive tasks.

Chronic hepatitis B virus infection and metabolic associated fatty liver disease： The known and unknown aspects / 临床肝胆病杂志

Chronic hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection is the main cause of the disease burden of viral hepatitis worldwide， and meanwhile， due to changes in lifestyle and dietary habits， the incidence rate of metabolic associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） is constantly increasing， making MAFLD the leading chronic liver disease around the world. Chronic HBV infection comorbid with MAFLD is becoming more and more common in clinical practice. Metabolic factors， rather than viral factors， are the main cause of chronic HBV infection comorbid with MAFLD. During disease progression， steatohepatitis and fibrosis， rather than steatosis， are the main influencing factors for the progression to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. For patients with chronic HBV infection and MAFLD， integrated management of virus and metabolic factors is of great importance. This article reviews the tissues regarding the interaction， prognosis， and clinical management of chronic HBV infection and MAFLD.
