Reducing the rate of neonatal death and disability is an important part of health education in China, and genetic diseases are an important cause of neonatal death. At present, with the development of life support platform technology, the treatment level of critically ill newborns has been rapidly improved. How to quickly diagnose and early precise intervention is the key to further break through the diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases. Based on the "neonatal genome project" carried out in the early stage, the research group based on the genetic diagnosis results of over 10000 cases of neonatal critical illness cohort, studied the genetic disease spectrum of neonatal critical illness in line with the actual situation in China. In terms of detection technology, based on the second-generation sequencing technology, we established a critical illness screening gene sequencing combination including 300 genes; In the aspect of data analysis, an intelligent analysis process integrating clinical phenotype and gene sequencing data was established; In terms of clinical diagnosis and treatment, we cooperated with 5 maternity and children's hospitals in Shanghai to carry out multi center clinical verification, and formed the implementation plan of early universal genetic screening for neonatal critical illness. Through this project, we will carry out genetic disease screening research on neonatal critical diseases, focus on typical clinical manifestations such as encephalopathy, immunodeficiency, metabolic diseases, and carry out molecular autopsy on neonatal death cases to identify potential genetic causes, so as to provide basis for the research of corresponding early precise intervention strategies, and achieve the purpose of reducing neonatal death and disability rate.
The size-weight illusion is a phenomenon where a smaller object is perceived heavier than an equally weighted larger object. The sensorimotor mismatch theory proposed that this illusion occurs because of a mismatch between efferent motor commands and afferent sensory feedback received when lifting large and small objects (i.e., the application of too little and too much lifting force, respectively). This explanation has been undermined by studies demonstrating a separation between the perceived weight of objects and the lifting forces that are applied on them. However, this research suffers from inconsistencies in the choice of lifting force measures reported. Therefore, we examined the contribution of sensorimotor mismatch in the perception of weight in the size-weight illusion and in non-size-weight illusion stimuli and evaluated the use of a lifting force aggregate measure comprising the four most common lifting force measures used in previous research. In doing so, the sensorimotor mismatch theory was mostly supported. In a size-weight illusion experiment, the lifting forces correlated with weight perception and, contrary to some earlier research, did not adapt over time. In a non-size-weight illusion experiment, switches between lifting light and heavy objects resulted in perceiving the weight of these objects differently compared to no switch trials, which mirrored differences in the manner participants applied forces on the objects. Additionally, we reveal that our force aggregate measure can allow for a more sensitive and objective examination of the effects of lifting forces on objects.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Accurate preoperative prediction of microvascular invasion (MVI) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) is vital for personalised hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) management. We developed a multitask deep learning model to predict MVI and RFS using preoperative MRI scans.
METHODS: Utilising a retrospective dataset of 725 HCC patients from seven institutions, we developed and validated a multitask deep learning model focused on predicting MVI and RFS. The model employs a transformer architecture to extract critical features from preoperative MRI scans. It was trained on a set of 234 patients and internally validated on a set of 58 patients. External validation was performed using three independent sets (n = 212, 111, 110).
RESULTS: The multitask deep learning model yielded high MVI prediction accuracy, with AUC values of 0.918 for the training set and 0.800 for the internal test set. In external test sets, AUC values were 0.837, 0.815 and 0.800. Radiologists' sensitivity and inter-rater agreement for MVI prediction improved significantly when integrated with the model. For RFS, the model achieved C-index values of 0.763 in the training set and ranged between 0.628 and 0.728 in external test sets. Notably, PA-TACE improved RFS only in patients predicted to have high MVI risk and low survival scores (p < .001).
CONCLUSIONS: Our deep learning model allows accurate MVI and survival prediction in HCC patients. Prospective studies are warranted to assess the clinical utility of this model in guiding personalised treatment in conjunction with clinical criteria.

The field of nephrology has recently directed a considerable amount of attention towards the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) molecule since it appears to be a potent driver of chronic kidney disease (CKD). STING and its activator, the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), along with intracellular RIG-like receptors (RLRs) and toll-like receptors (TLRs), are potent inducers of type I interferon (IFN-I) expression. These cytokines have been long recognized as part of the mechanism used by the innate immune system to battle viral infections; however, their involvement in sterile inflammation remains unclear. Mounting evidence pointing to the involvement of the IFN-I pathway in sterile kidney inflammation provides potential insights into the complex interplay between the innate immune system and damage to the most sensitive segment of the nephron, the glomerulus. The STING pathway is often cited as one cause of renal disease not attributed to viral infections. Instead, this pathway can recognize and signal in response to host-derived nucleic acids, which are also recognized by RLRs and TLRs. It is still unclear, however, whether the development of renal diseases depends on subsequent IFN-I induction or other processes involved. This review aims to explore the main endogenous inducers of IFN-I in glomerular cells, to discuss what effects autocrine and paracrine signaling have on IFN-I induction, and to identify the pathways that are implicated in the development of glomerular damage.

Fecal incontinence past the time of toilet training is devastating to affected children. Antegrade continence enema (ACE) therapy administered through a catheterizable stoma surgically placed in the cecum has helped children with intractable fecal incontinence attain continence for stool. There are a number of retrospective studies demonstrating the variable effectiveness rates of ACE therapy. This variability may be due to what is used to flush. There are no prospective trials evaluating the effectiveness of different flushing regimens. The catheterizable stoma used for the antegrade administration of enema solution is frequently made by bringing the appendix out through the abdominal wall or by placing a skin-level device (button) in to the cecum. ACE therapy administration through the appendix or into the cecum has the potential to cause colonic dysfunction. The effects of ACE administration on colonic mucosal health has not been investigated. This pilot study will compare a high volume normal saline (NS) flush and a low volume United States Pharmacopeia (USP) glycerin flush. The primary aims of the study are to compare which solution, given at an optimal dose and frequency, is associated with fewer side effects, while promoting the higher degree of fecal continence, and to determine if antegrade enema solution administration through an appendicostomy/cecostomy causes electrolyte abnormalities or affects gut health.
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the highest risk of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality. However, it remains largely unclear about the link between AD and COVID-19 outcomes. ACE2 is an entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2. Circulating ACE2 is a novel biomarker of death and associated with COVID-19 outcomes.
METHODS: Here, we explored the shared genetics and causal association between AD and plasma ACE2 levels using large-scale genome-wide association study, gene expression, expression quantitative trait loci, and high-throughput plasma proteomic profiling datasets.
RESULTS: We found a significant causal effect of genetically increased circulating ACE2 on increased risk of AD. Cross-trait association analysis identified 19 shared genetic variants, and three variants rs3104412, rs2395166, and rs3135344 at chromosome 6p21.32 were associated with COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and severity. We mapped 19 variants to 117 genes, which were significantly upregulated in lung, spleen, and small intestine, downregulated in brain tissues, and involved in immune system, immune disease, and infectious disease pathways. The plasma proteins corresponding to LST1, AGER, TNXB, and APOC1 were predominantly associated with COVID-19 infection, ventilation, and death.
CONCLUSION: Together, our findings suggest the shared genetics and causal association between AD and plasma ACE2 levels, which may partially explain the link between AD and COVID-19.

Gene fusions and MET alterations are rare and difficult to detect in plasma samples. The clinical detection efficacy of molecular residual disease (MRD) based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with these mutations remains unknown. This prospective, non-intervention study recruited 49 patients with operable NSCLC with actionable gene fusions (ALK, ROS1, RET, and FGFR1), MET exon 14 skipping or de novo MET amplification. We analyzed 43 tumor tissues and 111 serial perioperative plasma samples using 1021- and 338-gene panels, respectively. Detectable MRD correlated with a significantly higher recurrence rate (P < 0.001), yielding positive predictive values of 100% and 90.9%, and negative predictive values of 82.4% and 86.4% at landmark and longitudinal time points, respectively. Patients with detectable MRD showed reduced disease-free survival (DFS) compared to those with undetectable MRD (P < 0.001). Patients who harbored tissue-derived fusion/MET alterations in their MRD had reduced DFS compared to those who did not (P = 0.05). To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study on ctDNA-MRD clinical detection efficacy in operable NSCLC patients with gene fusions and MET alterations. Patients with detectable tissue-derived fusion/MET alterations in postoperative MRD had worse clinical outcomes.
COVID-19 has a wide range of clinical manifestations. Apart from respiratory symptoms, neurological manifestations and cognitive impairment are commonly seen. Due to lack of a clear consensus on the definition of long COVID a pragmatic approach of assessing change from neurological baseline has become prevalent. We present the case of a high functioning woman in her late 40s who had a mild course of acute illness but developed cognitive difficulties. No organic causes for her cognitive difficulties were found. Neuropsychological testing showed impairment in right frontal lobe functioning. The patient showed a response to empirical treatment with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications. Repeat neuropsychological testing 1 year later showed continued dysfunction in executive functioning. We present the details of her test findings and discuss the proposed pathophysiology behind neurocognitive effects of long COVID.
The management of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is challenging due to diagnostic uncertainties and high treatment risks. To date, there are no evidence-based treatment standards for this disorder. Our long-term goal is to improve the outcome of NPH improving our understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamics. The Specific Aims are to 1) determine the value of a high volume tap test, and 2) determine whether intracranial hemo/hydrodynamic variables, measured before a shunt operation, support the tuned-dynamic absorber model of intracranial pressure dynamics.

The study's Aim relates to modeling the complex hydro- and hemodynamics of intracranial physiology-pathology. We hypothesize that current hydrocephalus models are over-simplistic and that shunt-induced hydrodynamics are better modeled based on ICP waveform characteristics and the application of novel dynamic models. Much of the data for this Aim will be passively recorded during the routine care of the patient. In essence, we are only adding noninvasive MRI studies and TCD (transcranial Doppler) studies.

The experimental methodology is aimed at altering the intracranial compartment compliance by placing the patient in various positions so that these phase differences can be detected. The simplest way to alter intracranial compliance is to make postural changes. When a patient is in the Trendelenburg position, venous outflow out of the brain is hindered resulting in an increase in ICP and presumably a reduction in compliance. Conversely, raising the head of bed to 60 degrees will result in the opposite effect. The second mechanism of altering compliance (and ICP) will occur as a result of treating the hydrocephalus with a CSF shunt. Because we are able to study hydrocephalus patients prior to shunting as part of their diagnostic workup, we create a new state with the shunt that will allow us to further characterize the intracranial system.
A ventilating device for ventilating through a ridge, preferably through a top ridge of a roof, includes a ridge member configured extending longitudinally along and beneath the ridge. The ridge member has a rigid part that includes two opposed panels and a number of cross pieces extending between the opposing panels. The ridge member also has passages extending from a lower part of the ridge member to an upper part of the ridge member. In a first embodiment, the cross pieces extend from the lower part to the upper part of the ridge member transverse to a longitudinal direction of the ridge member, and ventilating passages are formed in spaces between the two opposing panels and between the cross pieces. In a second embodiment, the cross pieces extend between the lower part of the ridge member to the upper part of the ridge member parallel to a longitudinal direction of the ridge member, and ventilating passages are formed as holes penetrating the cross pieces. In both embodiments, the ventilating passages allow air to pass from the lower part of the ridge member, along the ventilating passages, to the upper part of the ridge member.
BACKGROUND: Insomnia is more prevalent in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), can worsen core-symptoms and reduces quality of life of both individuals and caregivers. Although ASD is four times more prevalent in males than females, less is known about sex specific sleep differences in autistic individuals. Recent ASD studies suggest that sleep problems may be more severe in females, which aligns with the sex bias seen in insomnia for the general population. We have previously shown that male mice with a mutation in the high confidence ASD gene Shank3, Shank3∆C, recapitulate most aspects of the ASD insomnia phenotype. The objective of the present study was to leverage the Shank3∆C model to investigate sex-specific effects in sleep using polysomnography.
METHODS: Adult male and female Shank3∆C and wildtype (WT) littermates were first recorded for 24 h of baseline recordings. Subsequently, they were sleep deprived (SD) for five hours via gentle handling and allowed 19 h of recovery sleep to characterize the homeostatic response to SD. Vigilance states (rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and wake) were assigned by manual inspection using SleepSign. Data processing, statistical analysis and visualization were conducted using MATLAB.
RESULTS: Sex and genotype effects were found during baseline sleep and after SD. At baseline, male Shank3∆C mice sleep less during the dark period (active phase) while female Shank3∆C mice sleep less during the light period (rest phase) and sleep more during the dark period. Both male and female Shank3∆C mice show reduced spectral power in NREM sleep. We detect a significant effect of sex and genotype in sleep onset latency and homeostatic sleep pressure (sleepiness). In addition, while male Shank3∆C mice fail to increase sleep time following SD as seen in WT, female Shank3∆C mice decrease sleep time.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our study demonstrates sex differences in sleep architecture and homeostatic response to SD in adult Shank3∆C mice. Thus, our study demonstrates an interaction between sex and genotype in Shank3∆C mice and supports the use of the Shank3∆C model to better understand mechanisms contributing to the sex differences in insomnia in ASD in clinical populations.
