RESUMEN

Background: Early recurrent intussusception (ERI) in children is common and seriously affects the physical and mental health of the children. There are few reports discussing risk factors for ERI in children, and this study aims to identify risk factors for ERI in children and build predictive models. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 787 children with no relapse intussusception (NRI) and 82 children with ERI between January 2011 and December 2021. Univariate and multifactorial stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between 11 factors and ERI, to determine the independent risk factors for ERI in children. The prediction model was established by independent risk factors and then verified. Results: Age, vomiting, bloody stools, and monocyte ratios were independently correlated with the composite endpoint (P<0.05). A nomogram was constructed and a calibration curve was plotted, using independent risk factors. Based on the disease's diagnostic score, the predictive model's performance was validated by using logistic regression receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve detection, with area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.883 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.846-0.920], and the calibration curve was close to the ideal diagonal line. In addition, the decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that the model had significant net benefits. Conclusions: Independent risk factors for ERI in children are age, vomiting, bloody stool, and monocyte ratio. Children older than 1 year in age, who lacked vomiting and bloody stool symptoms, and who exhibited an elevated ratio of monocytes were more likely to relapse early. The predictive model constructed herein can predict the early recurrence of children with ERI, providing a reference for clinicians' individualized judgments.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Testicular hypoplasia can affect the sexual and reproductive ability in adulthood, and even increase the risk of cancer. Abnormal development of the gubernaculum is one of the important factors of testicular hypoplasia. Therefore, a study of the structure and function of the gubernaculum is an important but neglected new breakthrough point for investigating the normal/abnormal development of the testis. Previous findings showed that Insulin like factor 3 (INSL3) is a key factor regulating the growth of gubernaculum, however, the mechanism by which INSL3 acts on the gubernaculum remains unknown. Therefore, we probed the mechanism associated with INSL3-induced the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of gubernacular cells in mice. METHODS: A culture cell model of neonatal mice gubernaculum is established by INSL3 intervention. We blocked PLC/PKC signaling pathway with U73122 pretreat to investigate the role of the PLC/PKC signaling pathway. The changes of cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis were detected by molecular biological methods. In addition, the levels of PCNA and F-action were detected by immunofluorescence and western blotting. RESULTS: We found that INSL3 can promote the proliferation and migration of gubernacular cells and inhibit their apoptosis, meanwhile, INSL3 significantly up-regulated PLC/PKC protein phosphorylation. However, treatment with the PLC/PKC signaling pathway inhibitor U73122 significantly inhibited these effects of INSL3. Besides, we found that INSL3 could up-regulate the protein expression level of PCNA and F-actin, while the PCNA and F-actin expression was significantly weakened after U73122 pretreatment. CONCLUSIONS: This research revealed that INSL3 binding to RXFP2 may up-regulate the expression levels of PCNA and F-actin by activating the PLC/PKC signaling pathway to promote the proliferation and migration of gubernacular cells. It suggests that the RXFP2-PLC/PKC axis may serve as a novel molecular mechanism by which INSL3 regulates growth of the gubernaculum.

RESUMEN

Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare anomaly characterized by both testes descending through a single inguinal canal. The objective of this study was to investigate the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) with persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS), and to deepen the understanding of the disease in clinical. A retrospective analysis of the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment of two children suffering from TTE with PMDS was conducted. Previous studies on the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease were reviewed. The two patients were treated with laparoscopy-assisted transseptal orchidopexy-inguinal evaluation. After the surgery, the two patients recovered well. The follow-up visits were done 3 months after the operation. An ultrasound examination confirmed that the two patients had testes in the orthotopic position and normal size. TTE with PMDS is an exceedingly rare disease. The patients manifested cryptorchidism on one side; contralateral inguinal hernia was suspected. Detailed physical and ultrasound examinations before the operation are the key to the early diagnosis of TTE. Laparoscopic evaluation is helpful for the diagnosis and finding of other abnormalities. Surgical treatment is the only method to cure the disease; long-term follow-up is needed after TTE operation.
