Atherosclerosis (AS) and Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are chronic metabolic disorders with high prevalence and significant health impacts. Both conditions share common pathophysiological pathways including abnormal lipid metabolism and inflammation. Berberine (BBR), an isoquinoline alkaloid, is known for its beneficial effects on various metabolic and cardiovascular disorders.

Objectives: To retrospectively analyze the variation and characteristics of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene, and to observe the long-term treatment effect and follow-up of newborns with PAH deficiency.

Methods: Clinical data, treatment and follow-up results of 198 patients with PAH deficiency diagnosed by newborn screening in Jinan from 1996 to 2021 were collected. The genetic analysis of 55 patients with PAH deficiency diagnosed by newborn screening in Jinan and 213 patients referred from the surrounding areas of Jinan were summarized.

Objective: To establish cut-off values of lysosomal storage disease (LSD)-related enzymes by tandem mass spectrometry.

Methods: A total of 26 689 newborns and 7 clinically confirmed LSD children underwent screening for LSDs (glycogen storage disease typeⅡ, Fabry disease, mucopolysaccharidosis type Ⅰ, Krabbe disease, Niemann-Pick disease A/B and Gaucher disease). The activities of LSD-related enzymes were detected by tandem mass spectrometry.

Objective: Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are becoming increasingly important in newborn screening, and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is widely used in newborn screening for LSDs through measurement of enzymatic activities in dried blood spots (DBSs). Overall, the determination of the cutoff value is important in such screening, and different laboratories have different methods of determining this value; most do not use a fixed cutoff value but rather calculate the corresponding batch cutoff value based on each batch of experimental data. In this study, we used MS/MS to screen for LSDs and sought to find an appropriate method to establish the cutoff value for LSD screening.
