Article Abstract
Importance: Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSDIb) is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by impaired glucose-6-phosphate transporter function with limited descriptions.
Objective: To describe the genetic and clinical features of Chinese patients with GSDIb.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study retrieved the medical records of 113 Chinese patients with GSDIb treated at a single institution in Shanghai from November 1, 2000, to June 30, 2024.
Main Outcomes And Measures: Biochemical parameters and clinical features (infections, inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], kidney and cardiovascular issues, growth and puberty) at baseline and the last follow-up, all-cause mortality, and mental and social development were assessed.
Results: A total of 113 patients (96 children [85%]; 67 males [59%]) had GSDIb genetically diagnosed at a median age of 1.4 (range, 0.0-35.5) years. Thirty-eight novel SLC37A4 variants were identified. Hypoglycemia and metabolic derangements were the primary concerns in patients aged 2 years or younger (45%). Short stature (75%), infections (75%), and recurrent epistaxis (31%) became more prevalent in patients aged 2.1 to 5.0 years. The frequency of respiratory tract infection decreased after a median age of 7.0 (IQR, 3.5-10.5) years. Forty-four patients (46%) developed IBD at a median age of 6.0 (IQR, 3.0-12.0) years, 14% of whom developed IBD-associated arthritis at a median age of 10.5 (IQR, 5.8-19.6) years. The mean (SD) difference between the z scores of actual height and target height (Δ height z scores) at the final visit (-2.11 [1.76]) did not significantly increase even after uncooked cornstarch treatment. The mean (SD) Δ height z scores of the patients with IBD (-2.99 [1.70]) were significantly lower than those without IBD (mean [SD], -1.36 [1.44]) (P < .001). Ten patients (9%) died due to complications of GSDIb, including metabolic derangements, sepsis, and/or severe pneumonia (n = 8), IBD (n = 1), and pulmonary hypertension (n = 1).
Conclusions And Relevance: In this cohort study, the genetic and clinical spectra of GSDIb were broadened, suggesting associations between GSDIb and bowel, growth, and survival outcomes. To date, no previous study reported IBD-associated arthritis.

Clinical Characteristics and Disease Burden of Wheat Allergy Dependent on Augmentation Factors in Recreationally Active and Trained Individuals.

In wheat allergy dependent on augmentation factors (WALDA), allergic reactions occur when wheat ingestion is combined with exercise or rarely other augmentation factors. We analyzed clinical characteristics and disease burden in recreationally active and trained individuals with WALDA diagnosed by oral challenge test. Clinical characteristics, serological data, and quality of life (QOL) questionnaires were analyzed and completed with follow-up interviews.

Introduction: Differentiating acute tubular necrosis (ATN) from rejection in pediatric kidney transplant (KT) recipients remains challenging and necessitates invasive biopsy. Doppler ultrasound-derived resistive index (RI) is a noninvasive modality to assess graft status, but its diagnostic utility in children is unclear. This study evaluates RI's ability to distinguish ATN and rejection in KT.

Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase in patients presenting within 24 hours of symptom onset with a large vessel occlusion and target mismatch on perfusion computed tomography.
Methods: ETERNAL-LVO was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point, phase 3, superiority trial where adult participants with a large vessel occlusion, presenting within 24 hours of onset with salvageable tissue on computed tomography perfusion, were randomized to tenecteplase 0.25 mg/kg or standard care across 11 primary and comprehensive stroke centers in Australia.

Introduction: Cutaneous scalp metastases from breast carcinoma (CMBC) represent an uncommon manifestation of metastatic disease, with heterogeneous clinical presentations, including nodular or infiltrative lesions and scarring alopecia (alopecia neoplastica). The absence of standardized diagnostic criteria, particularly for alopecic phenotypes, poses challenges to early recognition of CMBC, which may represent either the first indication of neoplastic progression or a late recurrence.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a multicenter cohort of 15 patients with histologically confirmed CMBC.
PCISOS Risk Profiles Stratify Heterogeneous Outcomes in Minor Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke: A Post Hoc Analysis of the CHANCE-2 Trial.

Department of Neurology, China National Clinical Research Center for Neurological Diseases, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University.
Background: Risk stratification in posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS) is challenging. Although the Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke Outcome Score (PCISOS) was developed to address this, its utility in minor PCIS and in identifying homogeneous populations for clinical trials or treatment-responsive subgroups remains uncertain.
Methods: CHANCE-2 (Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients With Acute Non-disabling Cerebrovascular Events-II) was a multicenter, randomized trial that enrolled patients with minor stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack who carried CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles.
