Background: Previous researches found that maternal adverse childhood experiences not only affect the psychological behavior of preschool children, but also have direct or indirect negative effects on the executive functions and cognition of offspring. And, the possible social psychological mechanism between maternal adverse childhood experiences and preschool children's executive functions is still not clear.

Objectives: This study mainly tries to understand the association between parenting stress and child maltreatment in maternal adverse childhood experiences and children's executive functions through longitudinal cohort.

Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasound-assisted reduction compared to traditional manual reduction in treating completely displaced distal radius fractures in kids, involving 51 patients.
  • Results showed that the ultrasound group had a 100% initial success rate, minimal radiation exposure, and no instances of re-displacement during recovery, while the control group experienced lower success rates and higher complications.
  • This suggests that ultrasound-assisted reduction may lead to better outcomes, including improved alignment and reduced treatment failures in pediatric cases.

Article Synopsis
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a serious stroke type linked to high death rates and neuroinflammation, but the role of phloretin, a natural flavonoid with anti-inflammatory effects, in SAH is not well understood.
  • Researchers used experimental models to evaluate the effects of phloretin in SAH and analyzed public datasets to identify important genes connected to the condition.
  • The study found that phloretin improves recovery outcomes and reduces inflammation in SAH models, working by blocking the TLR2/MYD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

October 2024

Department of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital, Children's Medical Center of Anhui Medical University, No. 39, Wangjiang Road, Hefei, 230051, Anhui, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Nephrotic syndrome (NPHS) can stem from genetic variations, with TBC1D8B identified as a gene linked to X-linked NPHS, though its clinical implications require further study.
  • Researchers conducted genetic testing on a newborn with NPHS and acute kidney injury, using advanced sequencing and immunofluorescence to investigate the disease's molecular causes.
  • The study discovered a novel variant in TBC1D8B that appeared to cause protein degradation, leading to disrupted cell interactions that impact kidney function and overall health in the affected child.

  • This study examined the impact of lung protective ventilation (LPV) versus conventional ventilation on reducing pulmonary atelectasis and enhancing oxygen levels in infants undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
  • Eighty infants aged 1-6 months were divided into two groups, with LPV using lower tidal volumes and specific strategies for lung recruitment, while the control group used higher tidal volumes and no positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).
  • Results indicated that LPV significantly lowered the incidence of atelectasis and improved oxygenation during surgery, but these improvements were not sustained by the time the infants were discharged from post-anesthesia care.

Article Synopsis
  • Preterm infants, particularly very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants, are often transfused due to their low blood volume and underdeveloped systems, and the study focused on how the timing of their first blood transfusion affects the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).
  • Data from 150 VLBW and ELBW infants showed that earlier transfusions were linked to lower birth weights and hemoglobin levels and a higher incidence of IVH, with risk factors including a low Apgar score and spontaneous delivery.
  • The findings suggest that delaying the first blood transfusion could reduce the risk of IVH in these vulnerable infants, emphasizing the importance of careful timing

Article Synopsis
  • Peripheral inflammation and abnormal immune responses, particularly involving T cells, are linked to the onset of Alzheimer's disease, with Gasdermin D (GSDMD) potentially playing a crucial role in these processes.
  • Research using a 5×FAD mouse model showed that GSDMD activation occurs in the spleen before the brain, impacting T cell responses and reducing neuroinflammation when myeloid cell GSDMD is absent.
  • Findings indicate that targeting GSDMD could offer new therapeutic strategies to intervene early in Alzheimer's disease by modulating T cell activity and peripheral inflammation.

IUBMB Life

December 2024

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Guangzhou Institute of Pediatrics, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Research in Structural Birth Defect Disease, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The nucleotide excision repair (NER) system helps protect against DNA damage, and deficiencies in this system can lead to increased mutations and cancer risks.
  • A study analyzed 19 NER gene polymorphisms in 416 Wilms tumor cases and 936 controls from East China, finding that certain XPD polymorphisms decreased Wilms tumor risk while some XPG polymorphisms increased it.
  • The research suggests that these gene variations affect nearby gene expression and emphasizes the need for further studies with larger sample sizes to validate these associations.

Article Synopsis
  • Cervical cancer (CC) affects women globally, and while extensive research has been conducted on its development at various biological levels, there has been limited focus on post-translational modifications (PTMs) in understanding CC progression.
  • This study compared PTM levels between normal cervical tissues and CC tissues, identifying that pan-acetylation was significantly decreased in cancer samples, while the acetylation of PARP1 at K119 was notably increased.
  • Overexpressing PARP1-WT reduced cancer cell proliferation and impacted specific signaling pathways, particularly decreasing p-ERK1/2 levels, indicating that the acetylation of PARP1 at K119 plays a crucial role in regulating the progression of cervical cancer.
