Aim: This study examined the association between antibiotic exposure during pregnancy and the development of wheezing and cough during infancy.

Methods: We analysed data from 12 cohorts in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Cohort Consortium. Outcomes during the first 18 months after birth included the presence of wheeze or dry cough and treatment or intervention for these symptoms, including medications, emergency room visits, and hospitalisations.

Article Synopsis
  • There is a lack of thorough longitudinal studies on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted children's mental health over time, particularly regarding variations among different subgroups.
  • The study aims to assess changes in youth mental health from before the pandemic to the middle of it, using data from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program.
  • Results showed that of 1,229 participants, there were minor decreases in levels of externalizing behaviors, indicating subtle shifts in mental health throughout the pandemic while accounting for various sociodemographic factors.

Objectives: Allergic diseases and Meniere's disease found to have a possible link in observational study. However, the potential causal relationship between the two is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore the causal relationship between allergic diseases and Meniere's disease using a new data analysis technique called bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.

In all mammals, the basement membrane serves as a pivotal extracellular matrix. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a challenge among numerous cancer types shaped by basement membrane-related genes (BMGs). Our research established an innovative prognostic model that is highly accurate in its prediction of HCC prognoses and immunotherapy efficacy to summarize the crucial role of BMGs in HCC.

Importance: Emotional and behavioral dysregulation during early childhood are associated with severe psychiatric, behavioral, and cognitive disorders through adulthood. Identifying the earliest antecedents of persisting emotional and behavioral dysregulation can inform risk detection practices and targeted interventions to promote adaptive developmental trajectories among at-risk children.

Objective: To characterize children's emotional and behavioral regulation trajectories and examine risk factors associated with persisting dysregulation across early childhood.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a type of liver cancer which is characterized by inflammation-associated tumor. The unique characteristics of tumor immune microenvironment in HCC contribute to hepatocarcinogenesis. It was also clarified that aberrant fatty acid metabolism (FAM) might accelerate tumor growth and metastasis of HCC.

Objective: We sought to evaluate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on perinatal outcomes while accounting for maternal depression or perceived stress and to describe COVID-specific stressors, including changes in prenatal care, across specific time periods of the pandemic.

Study Design: Data of dyads from 41 cohorts from the National Institutes of Health Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Program ( = 2,983) were used to compare birth outcomes before and during the pandemic ( = 2,355), and a partially overlapping sample ( = 1,490) responded to a COVID-19 questionnaire. Psychosocial stress was defined using prenatal screening for depression and perceived stress.

Immunotherapy has achieved remarkable success in treating advanced liver cancer. Current evidence shows that most of the available immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICB) treatments are suboptimal, and specific markers are needed for patients regarded as good candidates for immunotherapy. Necroptosis, a type of programmed cell death, plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression and outcome.

Background: It is unclear whether patients with a history of gout have longer hospitalizations in general, or only when suffering a flare. This study examines the effect of gout diagnosis and gout flare on the length of stay (LoS) in patients admitted for heart failure (HF) exacerbation.

Methods: We conducted a matched retrospective cohort study and searched electronic medical records for patients admitted for HF with a prior diagnosis of gout from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2017 and matched them to patients admitted for HF without gout.

To examine postpartum depressive symptom trajectories from birth to age 5 and their risk factors in a national sample of mothers of preterm and full-term infants. The racially and ethnically diverse sample comprised 11,320 maternal participants (M = 29; SD = 5.9) in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program in the USA with data on newborn gestational age at birth (≥ 22 weeks) and maternal depression symptoms during the first 5 years following childbirth.

Background: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign proliferative disease whose etiology is not clear and may be related to infection or unexplained immune dysfunction. The authors present a case of RDD with lung involvement in a 10-year-old patient.

Case Summary: A 10-year-old girl found that her left cervical lymph nodes were enlarged for more than 7 mo, and the largest range was about 6.

Background: Based on 122 cases reported in China, data mining indicated that Sini Powder (SNP) and the Zuojin Pill (ZJP) are both widely used as the basic recipe for treating Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

Objectives: To evaluate the intervention effects of Sini Zuojin Decoction (SNZJD) in patients with GERD.

Methods: A comprehensive collection of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using SNZJD in patients with GERD that were published in domestic and foreign journals was made by computer retrieval.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterized by hyperproliferation and impaired differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes accompanied by increased inflammation, suggesting that molecules with antiproliferation and anti-inflammatory abilities may be effective for its treatment. One of the key steps in regulating cell proliferation is DNA replication initiation, which relies on prereplication complex (pre-RC) assembly on chromatin. CDC6 is an essential regulator of pre-RC assembly and DNA replication in eukaryotic cells, but its role in proliferation of keratinocytes and psoriasis is unknown.

Four unprecedented guaiane dimers, xylopsides A-D (1-4), were isolated and identified from the roots of Xylopia vielana. The structures of 1-4 were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, Cu Kα X-ray crystallography and CD spectra. 1-4 showed two bridged pentacyclic skeletons between two guaiane-type sesquiterpenes, which were characterized as two different bridged ring systems.

Five new guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers vielopsides A-E, connecting patterns through two direct CC bonds (C-2 to C-2', C-4 to C-1'), were isolated from the roots of Xylopia vielana. Their absolute configurations were established by NOE analysis, the Cu Kα X-ray crystallographic and circular dichroism (CD) experiment. Among them, compound 5 showed moderate activity IC values of 33.

Six new guaiane dimers, xyloplains A-F (1-6), with connecting patterns through two direct C-C bonds (C-1 to C-3', C-2 to C-1'), were isolated from the roots of . Their structures were elucidated clearly using extensive analysis of 1D NMR and 2D NMR, combined with Cu-Kα X-ray diffraction and circular dichroism (CD) experiments. In additon, all of the isolates were tested for anti-inflammatory activity by measuring the amount of nitric oxide produced.

Three new aporphine alkaloids, xylopialoids A-C (1-3), along with three known aporphine alkioids (4-6) and three other known compounds (7-9) were isolated from the roots of Xylopia vielana. Among these three new aporphine alkaloids, xylopialoid C (3) showed a special carbamido group directly connected to the nitrogen. The chemical structures of these nine compounds were determined by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR, MS, CD spectrum and Cu Kα X-ray crystallographic analyses.
