Article Abstract

Objective: The guidelines recommend early caffeine administration for preterm infants requiring non-invasive mechanical ventilation since earlier treatment is associated with better outcomes. The objective was to evaluate the impact of early caffeine therapy (within 24 hours after birth) on respiratory outcomes in very preterm infants who were initially receiving invasive mechanical ventilation.

Methods: This was an observation cohort study from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022 based on a database that was prospectively collected and maintained. Infants who initially received invasive mechanical ventilation were divided into two groups based on the timing of caffeine initiation: within the first 24 hours after birth (early) and within 48 hours of birth or later (late). Generalised linear mixed models with a random effect model for the centre were used to assess the impact of different caffeine initiation times on neonatal outcomes.

Results: Among the cohort of 9880 infants born at <32 weeks gestation, 2381 were eligible for this study (early initiation: 1758 (73.8%) and late initiation: 623 (26.2%)). For infants born at more than 28 weeks of gestation, the adjusted generalised linear mixed model showed that the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation was 1.34 (95% CI -2.40 to -0.27) days shorter and the incidence of moderate-to-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was lower (adjusted OR 0.63; 95% CI 0.41 to 0.96) in the early caffeine group compared with the late caffeine group.

Conclusion: In very preterm infants who initially receive invasive mechanical ventilation, early administration of caffeine within 24 hours after birth can shorten the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, reduce the incidence of moderate-to-severe BPD and improve respiratory outcomes. The very early initiation of caffeine treatment does not appear to be associated with any adverse outcomes.

Objective: To establish and validate a nomogram model for the quality of sleep in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and to evaluate its performance.

Methods: From January 2023 to June 2023, 484 RIF patients who underwent ART fertilization treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Tongji University-affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were selected as the modeling set and internal validation. Additionally, from July to September 2023, 223 RIF patients who underwent ART fertilization treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Tongji University-affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were chosen as the external validation set.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the pathological aggregation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides, particularly Aβ-42, which plays a central role in disease progression. Soluble Aβ dimers have been implicated as the primary neurotoxic species contributing to synaptic dysfunction and cognitive impairment. In this study, we employ a comprehensive computational framework integrating molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, neural relational inference (NRI) modeling, and largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) analysis to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying Aβ-42 dimerization and evaluate the inhibitory potential of small molecules, apigenin and caffeine.

Accurate in vitro models of intestinal permeability are essential for predicting oral drug absorption. Standard models like Caco-2 cells have well-known limitations, including lack of segment-specific physiology, but are widely used. Emerging models such as organoid-derived monolayers and microphysiological systems (MPS) offer enhanced physiological relevance but require comparative validation.

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a prevalence of approximately 10% in women of childbearing age. Metabolic pathways have been demonstrated by previous studies to be potential avenues for the development of new therapeutic strategies and may be used for early diagnosis of the disease. This study aimed to investigate the potential causal relationships between 1400 metabolites and various endometriosis subtypes using Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis.
