The adult mammalian heart has limited capacity for regeneration following injury, whereas the neonatal heart can readily regenerate within a short period after birth. Neonatal heart regeneration is orchestrated by multiple cell types intrinsic to the heart, as well as immune cells that infiltrate the heart after injury. To elucidate the transcriptional responses of the different cellular components of the mouse heart following injury, we perform single-cell RNA sequencing on neonatal hearts at various time points following myocardial infarction and couple the results with bulk tissue RNA-sequencing data collected at the same time points. Concomitant single-cell ATAC sequencing exposes underlying dynamics of open chromatin landscapes and regenerative gene regulatory networks of diverse cardiac cell types and reveals extracellular mediators of cardiomyocyte proliferation, angiogenesis, and fibroblast activation. Together, our data provide a transcriptional basis for neonatal heart regeneration at single-cell resolution and suggest strategies for enhancing cardiac function after injury.

Novel multiple Z-score models for detection of coronary artery dilation: application in Kawasaki disease.
Pediatr Rheumatol Online J
December 2024
Kawasaki Disease Center, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Background: This study aims to develop Z-Score models to normalize measurements of three coronary arteries and enhance the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) in children from newborns to 10 years old. Developing a reliable Z-Score model is challenging, as some existing models fail the normality test. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for improving KD diagnosis.

Comprehensive global estimates of the diarrhoeal disease burden for specific age groups of children younger than 5 years are scarce, and the burden in children older than 5 years and in adults is also understudied. We used results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021 to assess the burden of, and trends in, diarrhoeal diseases overall and attributable to 13 pathogens, as well as the contributions of associated risk factors, in children and adults in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021.

Mol Cell Pediatr
December 2024
Department of Paediatric Cardiology, University Hospital, Liège, Belgium.
Background: In neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD), myocardial remodelling involves activation of inflammatory pathways. The role of hypoxemia related pathways is however unknown. This study was therefore designed to investigate myocardial mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α in neonates with CHD and analyse its influence on post-operative outcome.

Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway.
Aim: This national study focused on the individualised Heart Observation (HOBS) mobile phone app, which helps the parents of infants with severe congenital heart disease (CHD) with discharge preparations and decision making at home.
Methods: We enrolled two groups of parents from 2021 to 2023, during their child's initial hospitalisation at Oslo University Hospital, Norway. Measurements were carried out at baseline and one and four months after discharge.
Role of copy number variation analysis in prenatally diagnosed Blake's pouch cyst.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
December 2024
Department of Ultrasound, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, Beijing, 100026, China.
Background: Blake's pouch cyst (BPC) is a midline cystic anomaly of the posterior fossa. BPC has been shown to have a risk of aneuploidy prenatally. Copy number variation (CNV) and/or genetic syndromes have been reported in a few prenatal/postnatal cases with BPC.
