Objective To investigate the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with syphilis in Zhejiang province during 2013-2014,and to explore the influence of anti?syphilis treatment on pregnancy outcomes. Methods A retrospective study was carried out according to the Information Management System for preventing mother?to?child transmission(PMTCT)of syphilis in Zhejiang province during 2013-2014. The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was compared between women with syphilis and general women without syphilis, between treated and untreated women with syphilis, as well as between women with syphilis receiving and not receiving standard anti?syphilis treatment. The effects of anti?syphilis treatment and standard anti?syphilis treatment on pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. Results Data were collected from 3 985 women with syphilis and their children. Of these women, 12 had a stillbirth, and 3 973 a live birth. Totally, 3 210(80.55%)women received anti?syphilis treatment, 967(30.12%, 967/3 210) women received substandard treatment, and 775(19.45%)did not receive anti?syphilis treatment. Of the 3 985 fetuses or neonates born to women with syphilis, 45(1.13%)had abnormal clinical symptoms/signs. The incidence rates of low birth weight and early neonatal death were 7.00%(279/3 985) and 1.13%(45/3 985) respectively in fetuses or neonates born to women with syphilis, both significantly higher than those in fetuses or neonates born to general women without syphilis (3.18%[26 092/819494] and 0.13%[1 029/819 494], respectively, both P < 0.01). Among 775 untreated women with syphilis, the incidence rates of premature birth, low birth weight, early neonatal death, congenital syphilis and abnormal neonatal symptoms/signs were 15.61%(121/775), 10.84%(84/775), 2.45%(19/775), 3.48%(27/775)and 2.84%(22/775)respectively, all significantly higher than those in 3 210 women receiving anti?syphilis therapy (8.26%, 6.07%, 0.81%, 0.81% and 1.03%,respectively, all P < 0.01). Besides, the 967 women receiving substandard anti?syphilis treatment showed higher incidence rates of premature birth, low birth weight, early neonatal death, congenital syphilis and abnormal neonatal symptoms/signs than the 2 243 women receiving standard treatment (10.44%vs. 7.31%, 8.17%vs. 5.17%, 1.55%vs. 0.49%, 1.65%vs. 0.45%, 1.96%vs. 0.62%, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes is high among women with syphilis in Zhejiang province during 2013-2014. Untreated and inadequately treated maternal syphilis is strongly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Objeetive To explore the situation of rotavirus infection and extraintestinal organe damage in children in Yueqing city.Methods Two hundred and eighty-seven cases with acute rotavirus gastroenteritis in our hospital were analyzed for prospective study from October 2011 to January 2013 by stool tests.Results Rotavirus infection was found to be more common in autumn and winter.There were 223 cases (17.7%) got extraintestinal organe damage,175 cases (60.80%) got myocardial lesion,and 78 cases (27.18%) got respiratory infection.At the same time,there were 51 cases (17.77%) and 21 cases (7.31%) got liver function lesion and convulsion respectively.Among the metabolic acidosis(48 cases),39 cases were combined with myocardial lesion.While non metabolic acidosis were 239 cases (81.25%),and 136 cases were combined with myocardial lesion.Therefore,the myocardial lesion was significant correlation with metabolic acidosis (P < 0.01).Iron deficiency anemia was 123 cases and combined with 15 cases (12.19%) convulsion,while the convulsion prevalence rates of non iron deficiency anemia was 6 cases (3.65 %).There was a statistically significant difference between the convulsion prevalence rates of iron deficiency anemia and that of non iron deficiency anemia (P < 0.01).Conclusion Rotavirus diarrhea can lead to extraintestinal organe damage,and the clinical doctors should pay attention to them.

Objective:
PLASMIC score was evaluated its value in differential diagnosis between the patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and those with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) .
Method:
Twenty-four patients with TTP and 41 cases with DIC were retrospectively analyzed in this study. The platelet count, average red blood cell volume, indirect bilirubin, creatinine and prothrombin time international normalised ratio were collected, and then PLASMIC scores were calculated.
Results:
According to the risk classification of PLASMIC score, three (12.5%) TTP patients had moderate risk, and the rest 21 (87.5%) cases had high risk. In DIC patients, 92.7% cases were in low risk group, 4.9% at moderate risk, and only one case had high risk. Of these 65 patients, the sensitivity and the specificity to TTP of the high risk of the scoring system were 87.5% and 97.6%, respectively.
Conclusion
The patients with high risk of PLASMIC score correlated well with clinical TTP diagnosis. The scoring system showed to be an excellent diagnostic model to distinguish TTP patients from those with DIC.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of prolonged cytopenia (PC) in patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) undergoing anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on LBCL patients who received CAR-T cell therapy with a survival time of over one month at the Hematology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from March 2019 to December 2023. Statistical analyses were performed on hematologic changes at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-CAR-T infusion, as well as on the progression-free survival (PFS) and post-treatment adverse events, including infections. Patients were categorized into the PC and non-PC groups based on the occurrence of cytopenia at 90 days post-infusion. Differences between groups were compared, and univariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors.Results:The median age of 27 LBCL patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy was 58 years (range 27-69 years), with 18 males. Among the 27 LBCL patients who received CAR-T cell therapy, PC was observed in 19 patients (70.4%), with instances of neutropenia (48.1%, 13 cases), anemia (37.0%, 10 cases), and thrombocytopenia (22.2%, 6 cases). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that prior chemotherapy sensitivity ( OR=18.00, 95% CI 1.56-207.45, P=0.020) and bone marrow suppression ( OR=18.00, 95% CI 1.38-235.69, P=0.028) were associated with PC. The median follow-up time was 13.5 months. The PC group exhibited a higher risk of infection within 3 months (9/19 vs. 1/8) and a shorter mean PFS (19.3 months vs. 24.4 months), although the difference was not statistically significant (both P>0.05). Conclusions:PC is common following CAR-T cell therapy and is associated with an increased risk of infection and poorer prognosis. Prior treatment sensitivity and bone marrow suppression may serve as indicators of PC.

Chest trauma is one of the most common injuries. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a common complication of chest trauma seriously affects the quality of patients′ life and even leads to death. Although there are some consensus and guidelines on the prevention and treatment of VTE at home and abroad, the current literatures lack specificity considering the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of VTE in patients with chest trauma have their own characteristics, especially for those with blunt trauma. Accordingly, China Chest Injury Research Society and editorial board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology organized relevant domestic experts to jointly formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of chest trauma venous thromboembolism associated with chest trauma (2022 version). This consensus provides expert recommendations of different levels as academic guidance in terms of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chest trauma-related VTE, so as to offer a reference for clinical application.
