Background: The diagnostic criteria of neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) have not been established due to non-specific clinical manifestations, and our understanding on the treatment outcome is still limited. We aim to investigate the biochemical characteristics, genetic variants, and treatment outcome of NICCD patients.

Methods: We compared the nutritional status and biochemical characteristics of 55 NICCD infants and 27 idiopathic neonatal cholestasis (INC) infants.

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), an autoimmune disease closely related to thyroid dysfunction, remains a challenging ophthalmic condition among adults. Its clinical manifestations are complex and diverse, and disease progression can lead to exophthalmos, diplopia, exposure keratitis, corneal ulceration, and compressive optic neuropathy, resulting in irreversible vision damage or even blindness. Traditional treatment methods for TAO, including glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and radiation therapy, often have limitations and side effects, making this disease problematic in ophthalmology.

Spatiotemporal Omics-Refining the landscape of precision medicine.

Life Med

October 2022

BGI Research-Southwest, BGI, Chongqing 401329, China.

Current streamline of precision medicine uses histomorphological and molecular information to indicate individual phenotypes and genotypes to achieve optimal outcome of treatment. The knowledge of detected mutations and alteration can hardly describe molecular interaction and biological process which can finally be manifested as a disease. With molecular diagnosis revising the modalities of disease, there is a trend in precision medicine to apply multiomic and multidimensional information to decode tumors, regarding heterogeneity, pathogenesis, prognosis, etc.

Hexahistidine-metal assembly encapsulated fibroblast growth factor 21 for lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.

Eur J Pharm Biopharm

January 2025

Intervention Department, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang 325000, China. Electronic address:

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents a spectrum of potentially fatal conditions that currently lack effective drug treatment. Recent researches suggest that Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) may protect against ALI/ARDS. However, the clinical use of FGF21 is limited by its rapid degradation, restricted targeting capabilities, and numerous adverse effects.
