Objective To explore the value of bedside ultrasound used by ICU doctor in the rapid diagnosis of traumatic abdominal,and to evaluate the advantage of bedside ultrasound in the treatment decision.Methods 60 patients with traumatic abdominal blood in our hospital admitted to the ICU were selected.All patients were checked through bedside ultrasonography by physicians with professional training of ICU,bedside ultrasound and abdominal CT and abdominal flat piece of traumatic hematocelia,and compared the diagnosis of the time of the bedside ultrasound,abdominal CT and abdominal X -ray and ultrasound physician ultrasound examination.Results The difference of abdominal blood detection rate between bedside ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomo-graphy (CT)had no statistical significance (P >0.05);bedside ultrasonography of abdominal blood detection rate was higher than plain film of the abdomen,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =73.346,P <0.01);bed-side ultrasound received a preliminary diagnosis of time -consuming (4.37 ±2.1)min was significantly lower than that of the examination of ultrasound physicians (13.86 ±5.6)min,abdominal CT (22.13 ±6.9)min and abdominal plain film (28.19 ±7.32)min,the differences were statistically significant (t =3.947,14.607,21.139,26.338,all P <0.01 ).Conclusion By the professional training of ICU physicians for bedside ultrasound traumatic blood abdominal patients can make a more accurate diagnosis,time -shorten,more accord with the requirement of treating critically ill patients in ICU,which has important clinical value for trauma abdominal blood in early rapid diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To obtain a high specificity and high affinity anti-human PD-L1 monoclonal antibody which can be used for clinical diagnosis and block PD-L1 and PD-1 binding.Methods:BALB/c mice were immunized with recombinant PD-L1 protein.The positive cell clones stably secreting anti-human PD-L1 monoclonal antibody were obtained by classical hybridoma cell fusion technique.The specificity,affinity,subtype and other characteristics of the antibody were identified by ELISA.Immunofluorescence and indirect immunofluorescence were used to detect the tumor cells.Antibody blocking activity was confirmed by tumor killing test.Results:Two cell strains stably secreting monoclonal antibodies against human PD-LI were screened out.Abl and Ab2 had high titer and affinity.The antibody titers were 1:2.56×106 and 1:3×105,and the affinity was 1.5×109 L/mol and 2.5×10s L/mol respectively.There was no cross reaction between these two antibodies and PD-L2.Immunoblotting,indirect immunofluorescence confirmed that the antibody can be used to the diagnosis.Experiment showed that PD-L1 antibodies can increases tumor-killing activity of CIK cells.Conclusion:Two hybridoma cell lines capable of stably secreting highly specific and high affinity anti-human PD-L1 monoclonal antibody are obtained.They can specifically bind to PD-L1 molecules on tumor cells and can be used to the diagnosis of tumor phenotype and prognosis.Antibody blocking function can be applied to combined CIK cell immunotherapy.

Objective To explore the clinical features and causes of misdiagnosis of the patients with acquired deficiency of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (ADVKDCF). Methods Retrospective analysis was performed with the data from 62 patients with ADVKDCF for etiological factors, clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations, diagnosis and treatments. Results Among the 62 patients, 51 patients were with unknown causes( subgroup A) and 11 were with clear histories of anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning( subgroup B). The presentations of hemorrhage of the patients varied with hematuria as the most common first symptom,followed by skin, mucosa, muscle, internal organs bleeding (28/62). The most common hemorrhage symptom is hematuria. 35 of the 62 patients had hemoglobin(Hb) levels less than 100 g/L due to blood loss( the lowest level was 32 g/L). Thirty-eight patients were misdiagnosed at the first visit and the median time from hemorrhage manifestation to definite diagnosis was 8 days (range,2 to 192 days). ADVKDCF was mostly misdiagnosed as the urinary system diseases (23/38), followed by hemophilia (8/38). Laboratory examinations showed normal platelet count , throm bin time (TT) and normal fibrinogen(Fg) concentration, but prolonged plasma prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT) and international normalized ration (INR). All of patients received high dose vitamin K ( intravenous vitamin K1 with a initial dose of 20 to 240 mg/d and then oral vitamin K4 maintenance) . The bleeding symptoms disappeared 1 day after treatment and the Hb levels increased dramatically. There were significant differences in PT, APTT and INR of the patients before and after treatment( P <0. 01 ). Followed by a median follow - up of 8 months , no patient had severe adverse effects or recurrence. Conclusion The hemorrhage presentations of the patients with ADVKDCF are various. The most common hemorrhage symptom is hematuria. The misdiagnosis rate of ADVKDCF is high with urinary systems disorders as the most common misdiagnosis. Sequential treatment with vitamin K is an effective and safe method to prevent recurrence. Early detection of coagulation function is helpful to reduce misdiagnosis possibility.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic etiology of a patient with mental retardation and ejaculatory dysfunction.
METHODS:
A patient with mental retardation and ejaculatory dysfunction who was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University on November 18, 2021 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient were collected. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the patient and his parents. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out for the patient, and the candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.
RESULTS:
The patient, a 26-year-old male, had manifested atypical mental retardation and ejaculatory dysfunction. WES revealed that he has harbored a heterozygous variant of the ARID1B gene, namely c.5776C>T (p.Arg1926X). Sanger sequencing verified that neither of his parents has carried the same variant. The variant has been recorded in the 1000 Genomes, ExAC, gnomAD and ClinVar databases. A search of the dbSNP database suggested that the variant has a population frequency of 0.000 4%. The variant was predicted as deleterious by online software including Mutation Taster, CADD, and MutPred. Analysis with Cluster Omega online software suggested that the amino acid encoded by the variant site was highly conserved among various species. Analysis with PyMOL software suggested that the variant may affect the function of the encoded protein. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and ClinGen, the variant was predicted to be pathogenic.
CONCLUSION
The c.5776C>T (p.Arg1926X) variant of the ARID1B gene probably underlay the mental retardation and ejaculatory dysfunction in this patient. Above finding has broadened the spectrum of the ARID1B gene variants and provided reference for the diagnosis and treatment of the patient.

Hyperkalemia is one of the common ion metabolism disorders in clinical practice. Hyperkalemia is defined as serum potassium higher than 5.0 mmol/L according to the guidelines at home and abroad. Acute severe hyperkalemia can cause serious consequences, such as flaccid paralysis, fatal arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest. The use of renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system inhibitors, β-blockers and diuretics, low-sodium and high-potassium diets, and the presence of related comorbidities increase the occurrence of hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia risk exist in all clinical departments, but there is a lack of a standardization in the management of multi- department cooperation in hospital. Therefore, a number of domestic nephrology and cardiology department experts have discussed a management model for multi-department cooperation in hyperkalemia, formulating the management standard on hospital evaluation, early warning, diagnosis and treatment, and process. This can promote each department to more effectively participate in nosocomial hyperkalemia diagnosis and treatment, as well as the long-term management of chronic hyperkalemia, improving the quality of hyperkalemia management in hospital.
