Objective To evaluate the different arteriographic manifestations of acute renal arterial hemorrhage,and the treatment effects of emergency interventional embolization.Methods 87 patients with renal arterial hemorrhage who were failed to conservative treatment underwent the renal arteriography to confirm the position and degree of lesion.According to the arteriographic manifesta-tions,appropriate embolic agents such as spring coil,acrylic acid microspheres and the like were used to embolize the targeted vessel. The arteriographic manifestations and embolization efficacy were retrospectively analyzed.Results Contrast medium leakage was showed by renal angiography in 43 patients,13 of whom had arterio-venous fistula (AVF)and 1 5 of whom had renal pseudoaneu-rysms (RAP).Among this 1 5 patients,there were 5 patients with arteriovenous fistula and one patiernt with artery-calyces fistula. Hemorrhage of tumor vessel was shown in 1 5 patients and renal arteriovenous malformation (RAVM)in 1.47 patients underwent renal artery CT arteriography before emergency interventional embolization.The hematuresis was completely stopped or significantly relieved in 82 of all patients.Only 3 patients with renal trauma and 2 patients with percutaneous nephroscope were still had haematu-ria.All patients were followed up for 2 years.The total effective rate of emergency interventional embolization treatment was 94.25%(82/87),and no serious complications were observed.Conclusion As a safe,effective and micro-invasive treatment,emergency in-terventional embolization therapy can be used to treat the acute renal hemorrhage effectively.It can keep the maximum renal func-tion.Though acute renal hemorrhage angiography may have different manifestations,the choice of embolic agents is the key to stop the symptom.Renal artery CTA before embolotherapy is important for the diagnosis and therapy of acute renal hemorrhage.

Objective:To investigate the changes in total radioactivity in patient body with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) after 131I treatment and the factors influencing its metabolism. Methods:The clinical data from 218 patients after DTC treatment in the Department of Nuclear Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from September 2021 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on administrated 131I dose, 171 patients were divided into low-dose group (≤ 3.7 GBq) and 47 into high-dose group (>3.7 GBq) . A whole body dynamic radiation monitoring system was used to measure the in vivo residual activity of 131I 24, 48 and 72 h after 131I administration and to explore their influencing factors. Results:24, 48 and 72 h after adimination of 131I, the residual activity of 131I in the low-dose group patients was significantly lower than in the high-dose group patients ( t= -7.46, -3.31, -2.01, P<0.05) . The discharge compliance rate at 24 and 48 h in the low-dose group was significantly higher than that in the high-dose group (21.0% vs. 4.3%, 98.2% vs. 89.4%, χ2 = 7.23, 5.91, P<0.05) , and all patients could meet the discharge criteria at 72 h. Univariate analysis showed that the residual 131I activity at 24 and 48 h was dependent on age, body mass index (BMI) , basal metabolism rate (BMR) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) . As have been shown by multiple linear regression analysis, in the low-dose group, the older age, the higher BMR and the higher TSH level at 24 h tended to the higher 131I residual activity in the body. At 48 h, the higher BMI and the higher TSH level lead to the higher 131I residual activity in patient body. Meanwhile, in the high-dose group, the higher age and BMR at 24 h, tended to the higher in vivo131I residual activity. The influencing factors were analyzed in terms that 131I residual activity reaching 400 MBq in patient body at 24 and 36 h. The result showed that at 24 h the lower TSH level leaded to the lower 131I residual activity in patient body. At 36 h, the younger age, the lower TSH level, and the smaller 131I treatment dose tended to the lower in vivo131I residual activity. Conclusions:Age, BMI, BMR and TSH levels are the influencing factors for the change in total activity in patient body after 131I treatment of DTC. Radiation dose assessment based on the above indicators can provide a reference for adjusting the length of hospitalization time.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between mesenteric fat or creeping fat and bowel stricture or penetrating disease of Crohn's disease (CD).Methods:Clinical data of 101 CD patients undergoing bowel surgery at Department of General Surgery in our hospital between Mar 2021 and Dec 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The characteristics of mesenteric fat, creeping fat, luminal cross-section diameter, and the intestinal stricture index were analyzed. The Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between disease behavior and mesenteric fat score or creeping fat score.Results:Totally 101 CD patients were enrolled, with 68 stricturing diseases and 33 penetrating diseases. CD patients with stricturing diseases had higher score of mesenteric disease activity index (4.6±1.9 vs. 3.7±2.0, t=2.212, P=0.029) and creeping fat index (4.2±2.0 vs. 2.9±1.6, t=3.154, P=0.002) than those in patients with penetrating diseases. The mesenteric fat and creeping fat score positively correlated with the intestinal stricture index, C-reactive protein, and fecal calprotectin, and negatively correlated with minimum luminal cross-section diameter. Conclusion:The higher score of mesenteric fat and creeping fat were observed in CD patients with stricturing disease, which were associated with intestinal stricture index and inflammation status.

Objective:To explore the clinical application and long-term safety of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) in the treatment of rheumatic diseases.Methods:A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2017 and August 2018 in a random sample of eleven medical institutions of rheumatology and immunology in China. Patients who took HCQ for more than 3 months were enrolled into this study. The cumulative dose and long-term side effects of HCQ were recorded. The changes of laboratory indexes before and after treatment with HCQ were analyzed. Categorical variables were presented with counts and proportions, and evaluated by Chi-square test. Continuous parametric data were presented as Mean±standard deviation, and evaluated by Student's t test or Mann-Whitney U test. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 886 patients with rheumatic diseases were enrolled into this study, including 505 cases with systemic lupus erythematosus (57.0%), 210 cases with rheumatoid arthritis (23.7%), 80 cases with Sj?gren's syndrome (9.0%), 57 cases with undifferentiated connective tissue disease (6.4%), 12 cases of systemic vasculitis (1.4%), 10 cases of mixed connective tissue disease (1.1%), 7 cases of myositis (0.8%) and 5 cases with systemic sclerosis (0.6%). The most common long-term side effects of HCQ was skin or mucous lesions (12.4%) and vision problems (8.0%). Other adverse reactions included problems of digestive system (3.0%), nervous system (2.1%), musculoskeletal system (1.1%) and cardiovascular system (0.9%). 140 cases (15.8%) had stopped taking HCQ during the treatment. More than half of them decided to stop taking medicine by themselves. Fifty-four patients (6.1%) stopped using HCQ due to side effects while 24 of them took it again, and another 12 patients (1.4%) stopped the drug due to remission of illness. Patients were divided into three groups according to the cumulative dose of HCQ: less than 500 g, 500-1 000 g and more than 1 000 g respectively. There was significant difference in the incidence of long-term side effects among the three groups ( χ2=6.382, P=0.041). The last group (more than 1 000 g) suffered the highest incidence of long-term adverse reactions (37.1%). No severe adverse drug reactions were observed in this study. Conclusion:Hydroxychloroquine is widely used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases. The incidence of long-term side effects is 20.4%, is 6.1% lead to drug withdrawal, which are especially related to the cumulative doses. It should be adjusted properly according to the clinical application.

Objective:To preliminarily estimate and study the effect of nucleic acid testing in blood screening on the residual risk (RR) of transfusion transmitted HBV infection (TTI HBV).Methods:Using the NAT yield/WP ratio model and adopting the relevant data of information management system of practice comparison working party in the Mainland of China, this paper analyzed the trend of the RR of TTI HBV among 18 blood centers from 2015 to 2019 in China, and compared the impact of two kinds of blood screening strategies which were ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT (individual-donation nucleic acid testing or mini-pool nucleic acid testing) and ELISA + MP-NAT on RR in 2019.Results:The overall trends of the 5-year RR of HBV among 18 blood centers showed by trend chi square test were NAT single positive rate trend χ2= 39.42( P<0.01) and residual risk trend χ2= 279.792( P<0.01); The influence on RR from the differences of ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT and ELISA+ MP-NAT was statistically significant, and chi square test showed that χ2= 7.4( P<0.01). Conclusions:Since the implementation of nucleic acid testing in the blood screening in China from 2015, the residual risk of transfusion transmitted HBV infection has decreased year by year. The observed two blood screening strategies which dominated in China may lead to discrepancy in the residual risk of TTI.

African swine fever(ASF),caused by the African swine fever virus(ASFV),is a highly contagious infectious disease of pigs.This disease has been spread rapidly in China since 2018,po-sing a huge threat to China's pig farming industry.To rapid detect the ASFV,a loop-mediated iso-thermal amplification(LAMP)combined with the disposable nucleic acid visualization test strip was established for visual detection of the nucleic acid of ASFV B646L gene.The method was easy to operate without special instruments and equipment,while it effectively avoided the disadvantage of false positives caused by aerosol contamination.The method was able to detect 1.16 copies/μL of the recombinant plasmid in 50 min at 65 ℃.In addition,the method was specific with no cross-re-action with classical swine fever virus,porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus,por-cine parvovirus,transmissible gastroenteritis virus.The results in this study provides a rapid,con-venient,sensitive and reliable method for early diagnosis and screening for ASFV suspected infec-tion cases.

To establish a simple,convenient,sensitive,and specific method for rapid detection of Zi-ka virus(ZIKV),the whole genome sequences of ZIKV isolated from different times and regions were analyzed.The specific primers and probes were designed based on the screened target se-quences located in the conserved region of the ZIKV NS5 gene.By combining RT-LAMP isother-mal amplification technology and immunochromatography technology,a reverse transcription loop mediated isothermal amplification nucleic acid and flow visualization strip(RT-LAMP-VF)detec-tion method for ZIKV was established.The results showed that the method had good specificity and sensitivity.When the ratio of inner,outer,and ring primers(FIP∶LF∶F3)was 4∶2∶1,the detection method can specifically detect 102 copies/pL RNA transcripts or 2.15 pfu ZIKV at 61 ℃for 45 minutes,with no cross reaction with other flaviviruses such as Japanese encephalitis virus and classical swine fever virus.Other RNAs in blood tissue samples did not affect the sensitivity and specificity of RT-LAMP-VF,indicating that the method can be applied to clinical practice.The ZIKV RT-LAMP-VF detection method established in this study is easy to perform and does not require special instruments and equipment.It is particularly suitable for the rapid detection of ZIKV in grassroots units,providing technical support and material support for the establishment of on-site rapid detection and early warning and prediction systems for ZIKV disease.
