Earlier GWAS has identified that rs17782313 near MC4R was associated with obesity. However, subsequent studies showed conflicting results, especially among childhood. Besides, the mechanisms underlying the association between rs17782313 and childhood obesity remain largely unexplored, and genetic and epigenetic may interact and together affect the development of childhood obesity. We conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis to assess the association between rs17782313 and childhood obesity. MeQTL and eQTL analysis was applied to explore the effect of rs17782313 on DNA methylation and MC4R expression. We found that rs17782313 near MC4R was associated with increased childhood obesity risk and BMI z-score in several inheritable models (P < 0.05). Additionally, the similar trend was observed among subgroups of Asians, Caucasian. Furthermore, meQTL and eQTL analysis indicated that individuals carrying rs17782313 TT genotype were significantly associated with increased methylation level of cg10097150 located in MC4R promoter and decreased expression of MC4R than those with CT/CC genotype (P = 1.7 × 10−4 and P = 1.9 × 10−3 respectively). Our results strongly confirmed that rs17782313 was associated with increased risk of childhood obesity. Furthermore, rs17782313 T allele was correlated with promoter hypermethylation and decreased expression of MC4R, thus involved in the development of childhood obesity.
Background Functional exercises is very essential to the recovery of patients with fracture. We aimed to evaluate the compliance of functional exercises in school-age children with limb fracture, to provide evidence to the clinical management and nursing care of children with limb fracture. Methods School-age children with limb fractures treated in our hospital from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 were selected. The characteristics and postoperative functional exercise compliance of included children were analyzed. Pearson correlation and Logistic regression analysis were conducted to analyze the influencing factors of compliance to functional exercises. Results A total of 328 children with limb fracture were included, the incidence of compliance to functional exercise was only 35.98%. Pearson correlation analysis showed that age(r = 0.707), only child of family(r = 0.537), guardians(r = 0.642) and type of temperament(r = 0.635) were correlated with compliance to functional exercises in school-age children with limb fractures (all p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age ≤ 10y (OR2.913, 95%CI2.091 ~ 3.611), only child of family (OR2.006, 95%CI1.683 ~ 2.558), guarded by grandparents (OR1.512, 95%CI1.201 ~ 2.118), non-easy-going temperament (OR4.127, 95%CI3.811 ~ 4.902) were the influencing factors of non-compliance to functional exercises in children with limb fracture (all p < 0.05). Conclusions School-age children have poor compliance with functional exercises after limb fractures, and there are many influencing factors. For children with those risks, health care providers should actively intervene in nursing to improve children’s exercise compliance and the rehabilitation effect.
Early functional exercise plays a very important role in the rehabilitation and nursing care of children with fractures. We aimed to evaluate the role of temperament characteristics in the early functional exercise compliance in school-age children with limb fractures, to provide evidence to clinical nursing care. School-age children with limb fractures admitted to our hospital from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 were selected. We collected the general information, evaluated the temperament characteristics and their functional exercise compliance in school-age children. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to assess the correlation of temperament characteristics and early functional exercise compliance. A total of 126 school-age children with limb fractures were finally included. There were 68, 36, and 22 children that were rated as easy-going, troublesome and initiate slow temperament, respectively. The children with easy-going temperament had the best early functional exercise compliance, followed by children with initiate slow temperament, and compliance of children with troublesome temperament was the worst. The reaction intensity factor in the temperament characteristics of school-age children with fracture was negatively correlated with early functional exercise compliance ( P = .007). Reaction intensity was a risk factor for early functional exercise compliance in school-age children with fractures ( P = .004). Health care providers must consider the influence of temperament characteristics on compliance in school-age children with fractures, and take targeted nursing measures according to different temperament characteristics of children to improve early functional exercise compliance in school-age children with fractures, so as to improve the functional recovery and prognosis of children.
BackgroundThe impact of using invasive coronary angiography (ICA) or coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) as an initial examination on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with stable coronary artery disease and the occurrence of major operation-related complications is uncertain.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the effects of ICA vs. CCTA on MACEs, all-cause death, and major operation-related complications.MethodsA systematic search of electronic databases (PubMed and Embase) was conducted for randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing MACEs between ICA and CCTA from January 2012 to May 2022. The primary outcome measure was analyzed using a random-effects model as a pooled odds ratio (OR). The main observations were MACEs, all-cause death, and major operation-related complications.ResultsA total of six studies, comprising 26,548 patients, met the inclusion criteria (ICA n = 8,472; CCTA n = 18,076). There were statistically significant differences between ICA and CCTA for MACE [OR 1.37; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06–1.77; p = 0.02], all-cause death (OR 1.56; 95% CI, 1.38–1.78; p < 0.00001), and major operation-related complications (OR 2.10; 95% CI, 1.23–3.61; p = 0.007) among patients with stable coronary artery disease. Subgroup analysis demonstrated statistically significant results in the impact of ICA or CCTA on MACEs according to the length of follow-up. Compared to CCTA, ICA was related to a higher incidence of MACEs in the subgroup with a short follow-up (≤3 years) (OR 1.74; 95% CI, 1.54–1.96; p < 0.00001).ConclusionsAmong patients with stable coronary artery disease, an initial examination with ICA was significantly associated with the risk of MACEs, all-cause death, and major procedure-related complications compared to CCTA in this meta-analysis.
