Objective:To understand the salt sales situation and salt iodine content in the market of Guizhou Province 3 years after the system reform of salt industry.Methods:From August to October 2020, in 9 cities (prefectures) of Guizhou Province, 2 counties (cities and districts) were selected from each city (prefecture), 1 urban area and 1 township were selected from each county (city and district), 1 large supermarket and 1 farmers' market were selected in the urban area, and 1 small supermarkets or convenience stores were selected in the township, to check the varieties, place of origin and iodine content label on the package of salt sold, and different brands of salt were collected and sent to the provincial and county salt iodine laboratories. The iodine content was determined and analyzed.Results:A total of 18 large supermarkets, 18 farmers' markets and 18 small supermarkets or convenience stores were investigated, and 70 salt samples of 23 brands, 3 types and origin from 11 provinces were collected. Among them, there were 56 samples with iodine content of 21 - 39 mg/kg on the package. The iodine content range of provincial detection was 19.23 - 37.41 mg/kg (two of them were lower than 21.0 mg/kg), and the median was 25.75 mg/kg. There were 12 samples of two iodine contents (18 - 33 and 21 - 39 mg/kg) marked on the package, and the salt iodine range of provincial detection was 23.52 - 32.90 mg/kg, with a median of 26.55 mg/kg. One sample was marked with 18 - 33 mg/kg, and the iodine content of provincial detection was 25.20 mg/kg; the iodine content of 1 sample of non-iodized salt was not detected. According to the actual test value, iodine contents of 68 samples were within the range of packaging marks, accounting for 97.14% of the total. Taking the provincial test results as a standard, the absolute value of the relative deviation of the provincial and county test results was 0 - 27.45%, the average deviation was 7.65%, and the coincidence rate was 91.43% (66/70). The county test results were acceptable.Conclusions:After the system reform of salt industry, there are many kinds of salt which come from many provinces, and more than 97% of the salt iodine content which is within the standard range of salt concentration in Guizhou Province.

Objective:To observe the clinical outcomes of continued pregnancy in pregnant women with cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the pregnancy outcomes of 55 pregnant women who were diagnosed with CSP at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University during the first trimester of pregnancy from August 1st, 2018 to October 31st, 2021 and strongly requested to continue the pregnancy.Results:Of the 55 pregnant women, 15 terminated the pregnancy in the first trimester, 1 underwent hysterotomy at 23 weeks of gestation due to cervical dilation, and 39 (71%, 39/55) continued pregnancy to the third trimester achieving live births via cesarean section. The gestational age of the 39 pregnant women delivered by cesarean section was 35 +6 weeks (range: 28 +5-39 +2 weeks), of whom 7 cases at 28 +5-33 +6 weeks, 20 cases at 34-36 +6 weeks, and 12 cases at 37-39 +2 weeks. The results of pathological examination were normal placenta in 3 cases (8%, 3/39), placenta creta in 4 cases (10%, 4/39), placenta increta in 9 cases (23%, 9/39) and placenta percreta in 23 cases (59%, 23/39). Among the 36 pregnant women who were pathologically confirmed as placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS) after surgery, the last prenatal ultrasonography showed placenta previa in 27 cases (75%, 27/36) and not observed placenta previa in 9 cases. The median intraoperative blood loss, autologous blood transfusion, and allogeneic suspended red blood cell infusion of 39 pregnant women during cesarean section were 1 000 ml (300-3 500 ml), 300 ml (0-2 000 ml) and 400 ml (0-2 400 ml), respectively. The uterine preservation rate was 100% (39/39), and only 1 case received cystostomy due to intracystic hemorrhage. The birth weight of the newborn was 2 580 g (1 350-3 800 g), and 1 case of mild asphyxia. Conclusions:Pregnant women with CSP who continue pregnancy under close monitoring after adequate ultrasound evaluation and doctor-patient communication could achieve better maternal and infant outcomes, but pregnant women with CSP are highly likely to continue pregnancy and develop into PAS. Effective hemostasis means and multidisciplinary team cooperation are needed in perinatal period for ensuring maternal and fetal safety.
