Objective:To investigate the risk factors of postpartum embryo residues associated with uterine arteriovenous fistula.Methods:From January 2000 to December 2020, 26 cases of postpartum embryo residue complicated with uterine arteriovenous fistula in Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected as the case group, and 32 cases of postpartum embryo residue without uterine arteriovenous fistula were selected as control group.Both the case group and the control group had embryo residue in cesarean scar.Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were used to screen the risk factors of postpartum embryo residue combined with uterine arteriovenous fistula.Results:There were 26 patients in the case group, including 3 patients after medical abortion, 17 patients after artificial abortion, 2 patients after cesarean section, and 4 patients after mid-term induced labor.There were 32 patients in the control group, including 7 patients after medical abortion, 11 patients after induced abortion, 8 patients after cesarean section, and 6 patients after mid-term induced labor.There were 11 patients in the case group and 3 patients in the control group.Univariate analysis showed that: the occurrence of postpartum embryo residue combined with uterine arteriovenous fistula was related to the time of vaginal bleeding, HCG value before and after treatment, hemoglobin value before treatment, platelet count and residual embryo area(all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the increase of hCG before treatment ( OR 20.319, 95% CI 1.348-306.187) and the decrease of hemoglobin before treatment ( OR 0.870, 95% CI 0.788-0.960) were the independent risk factors of postpartum embryo residue combined with uterine arteriovenous fistula (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The risk factors of uterine arteriovenous fistula in postpartum embryo residue patients with elevated hCG value and decreased hemoglobin value before treatment should be highly vigilant to reduce the rate of clinical missed diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the effects of bladder volumes from CT simulation on bladder volume consistency and set-up errors during radiotherapy for prostate cancer, aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for of 66 prostate cancer patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy in the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from August 2015 to November 2020. They underwent CT scan or radiotherapy after voluntarily holding in urine. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed for them to measure their set-up errors in left-right (L-R), superior-inferior (S-I), and anterior-posterior (A-P) directions before each treatment. The bladder contours of the patients were delineated on CT simulation images and CBCT images. Accordingly, bladder volumes were calculated. Based on the calculated bladder volumes derived from the CT simulation images, the patients were divided into three groups: 18 cases in the 200-300 ml group, 24 cases in the 300-400 ml group, and 24 cases in the >400 ml group. Finally, this study analyzed the effects of bladder volumes derived from CT simulation on set-up errors and the changes of CBCT-derived bladder volumes relative to planned volumes during radiotherapy.Results:The bladder volumes in the 200-300 ml, 300-400 ml, and >400 ml groups during radiotherapy were reduced by 15%, 26%, and 32%, respectively. The pairwise comparison indicates statistically significant differences in the changes of bladder volumes among the three groups ( Z=3.43, 7.97, 4.83, P<0.05). Regarding the three-dimensional set-up errors, there were statistically significant differences in S-I set-up errors among the three groups ( H=26.72, P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in L-R and A-P set-up errors ( P>0.05) among these groups. The 200-300 ml, 300-400 ml, and >400 ml groups exhibited S-I set-up errors of 0.00 (-0.20, 0.20) cm, 0.00 (-0.20, 0.30) cm, and -0.10 (-0.30, 0.20) cm, respectively. Therefore, the >400 ml group displayed larger the S-I set-up errors than other two groups, with statistically significant differences ( Z=4.17, 4.66, P< 0.05), while there was no statistically significant differences in S-I set-up errors between other two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:Controlling the bladder filling volumes at 200-300 ml in CT simulation is beneficial for maintaining bladder volume consistency and reducing set-up errors of patients during radiotherapy.

Objective:To explore the correlation between lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic indicators in a young and middle-aged population undergoing physical examination.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 8 250 individuals who underwent routine physical examinations at the Health Medical Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January to December 2021 and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected as the research subbjects. The general examination, fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, liver function, renal function, and fasting color ultrasound examination results were analyzed retrospectively to assess the correlation between lean NAFLD and major metabolic indicators using independent sample t-test, chi-square test, and multivariable logistic regression. Results:The prevalence of lean NAFLD was higher in men than in women (50.7% vs. 49.3%, χ2=97.261, P<0.001). After stratifying the age of onset of lean NAFLD, the peak age of onset was found to be between 45 and 59 years, with the prevalence gradually increasing with age. When stratified by body mass index (BMI), the peak incidence of lean NAFLD was observed in individuals with a BMI of ≥20 and <23 kg/m 2, with the prevalence showing a significant upward trend as BMI increased. The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase, and serum uric acid in lean NAFLD groupwere all significantly higher than those in lean non-NAFLD group (all P<0.01), and the level of high density lipoprotein was significantly lower than that of lean non-NAFLD group ( t=23.755, P<0.001). The logistic analysis showed that systolic blood pressure ( OR=1.258, 95% CI: 1.081-1.465), diastolic blood pressure ( OR=1.282, 95% CI: 1.056-1.557), total cholesterol ( OR=1.712, 95% CI: 1.525-1.923), triglyceride ( OR=4.115, 95% CI: 3.621-4.676), alanine aminotransferase ( OR=1.467, 95% CI: 1.104-1.950), γ-glutamyltransferase ( OR=1.482, 95% CI: 1.242-1.769), fasting blood glucose ( OR=2.479, 95% CI: 2.092-2.939) and serum uric acid ( OR=1.390, 95% CI: 1.236-1.563) were independent metabolic risk factors for lean NAFLD (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The levels of various metabolic markers in young and middle-aged patients with lean NAFLD increase, and the risk of lean NAFLD increases. Metabolic markers are helpful to screen people at risk of lean NAFLD.

Objective:To investigate the effects of persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimester of pregnancy on complications and adverse outcomes of pregnancy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in 784 pregnant women including 111 cases of persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimester of pregnancy and 673 pregnant women with normal thyroid function as control group. All women were registered and delivered in the Department of Obstetrics of our hospital from April 2016 to April 2017. The complications and adverse outcomes of pregnancy in the two groups were analyzed.Results:Age, body weight before pregnancy, body mass index(BMI), 1 h plasma glucose and 2 h plasma glucose during oral glucose tolerance test in persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia group were higher than those in control group( P<0.05), with increased incidence of anemia during pregnancy( P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the incidences of gestational diabetes mellitus and gestational hypertension between the two groups( P>0.05). No significant statistical differences were found in macrosomia, stillbirth, neonatal malformation, postpartum hemorrhage, acute delivery, premature delivery, fetal intrauterine development delay, and small full-term infants between the two groups( P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age( OR=1.1, 95% CI 1.0-1.1, P=0.002) and pre-pregnancy body weight( OR=1.0, 95% CI 1.0-1.1, P=0.046) were risk factors for the occurrence of persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. Persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimesters was associated with anemia during pregnancy( OR=1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.2, P=0.024). Conclusions:Pregnant women who are older and heavier before pregnancy should pay more attention to their thyroid function. Pregnant women with persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimesters should be concerned for anemia.

Objective:To provide evidence for the selection of fixation devices and CTV to PTV margins (M ptv) in precision radiotherapy for pelvic tumors by analyzing three fixation devices in precision radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Methods:From April 2015 to December 2020, 133 prostate cancer patients treated with pelvic drainage area irradiation in our center were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were fixed with 1.2m vacuum bag (n=39), 1.8m vacuum bag (n=44) and personalized prone plate by our center (n=50). Each patient was asked to complete our bowel and bladder preparation process before positioning and radiotherapy. The registration of CBCT to planned CT before each treatment adopted the same registration box and algorithm. Setup errors in the SI, LR and AP directions under qualified bowel and bladder conditions were recorded. Setup errors in three directions under three fixation devices and corresponding M ptv values were analyzed. The correlation between setup errors with age and body mass index (BMI) was analyzed. Results:Analysis of 3333 setup errors data showed: in the SI and LR directions, the mean setup errors of 1.2m vacuum bag (3.26mm, 2.34mm) were greater than those of 1.8m vacuum bag (2.51mm, P<0.001; 1.90mm, P<0.001), and personalized prone plate (3.07mm, P=0.066; 2.10 mm, P=0.009). In the AP direction, the mean setup errors of 1.2m vacuum bag (supine)(2.20mm) were smaller than those of 1.8m vacuum bag (3.33mm, P<0.001) and personalized prone plate (3.61mm, P<0.001). The setup errors of 1.8m vacuum bag in all directions were smaller than those of personalized prone plate (P≤0.028). According to Van Herk's expansion formula, the M ptv of 1.2m vacuum bag in three directions was approximately 4 mm. The M ptv of 1.8m vacuum bag and personalized prone plate in the SI and LR directions was approximately 3 mm, and more than 5 mm in the AP direction. The setup errors were not correlated with age or BMI. Conclusions:From the setup errors results of three devices, 1.8m vacuum bag is the best, followed by personalized prone plate. And supine position is better than prone position in the AP direction.

Objective:To analyze the clinically acceptable and reproducible bladder and rectum volumes of prostate cancer patients during radiotherapy under bladder and bowel preparation, aiming to provide quantitative indicators for bowel and bladder preparation before and after radiotherapy.Methods:Clinical data of 275 prostate cancer patients with strict bladder and bowel preparation and completion of whole course radical radiotherapy at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from April 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were scanned with cone beam CT (CBCT) before each treatment and the setup error was recorded. Sixty-six patients were selected by simple random sampling and the bladder and rectum on daily CBCT was outlined using MIM software. The relationship between the ratio of daily bladder or rectum volume to the planned bladder or rectum volume (relative value of volume) and setup error was analyzed. Quantitative data were expressed as mean±SD. Normally distributed data were analyzed by paired t-test while non-normally distributed data were assessed by Kruskal-Wallis test.Results:The bladder and rectum volume on planning CT were (370.87±110.04) ml and (59.94±25.07) ml of 275 patients. The bladder and rectum volumes on planning CT were (357.51±107.38) ml and (65.28±35.37) ml respectively of the 66 selected patients with 1611 sets of CBCT images. And the bladder and rectum volumes on daily CBCT were (258.96±120.23) ml and (59.95 ± 30.40) ml. The bladder volume of patients was decreased by 3.59 ml per day on average during the treatment and 0.37 ml for the rectum volume. According to the bladder volume on planning CT, all patients were divided into three groups: <250 ml, 250-450 ml and >450 ml groups. The relative value of volume in the 250-450 ml group during the course of radiotherapy was the smallest. And the setup error in the superior and inferior (SI) direction was (0.28±0.24) cm and (0.19±0.17) cm in the left and right (LR) direction, significantly lower than those in the other two groups (both P≤0.027). According to the rectum volume on planning CT, all patients were divided into four groups: <50 ml, 50-<80 ml, 80-120 ml and >120 ml groups. The <50 ml group had the smallest relative value of volume during radiotherapy, and the setup error in the SI direction was (0.26±0.22) cm and (0.24±0.22) cm in the anterior and posterior (AP) direction, significantly smaller than those in the other groups (both P≤0.003). The setup errors in the SI, LR, AP directions of the enrolled 66 patients were (0.30±0.25) cm, (0.20±0.18) cm and (0.28±0.27) cm, respectively. Among them, the relative value of bladder volume in the AP direction was (0.73±0.37) in the setup error <0.3 cm group, which was statistically different from those in the setup error 0.3-0.5 cm and >0.5 cm groups (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Under the bladder and bowel preparation before planning CT, the appropriate bladder and rectum volumes are in the range of 250-450 ml and <50 ml, which yields higher reproducibility and smaller setup error.

Objective :
To investigate the role of knockdown of peroxiredoxin-6 ( PRDX6) in injury and adaptive expression of bile acid transporter in human hepatoellular carcinomas ( HepG2 ) cells induced by rifampicin (RFP) .
Methods :
Cells in logarithmic growth phase were uniformly inoculated in six-well plates , and HepG2 cells were transiently transfected with specific PRDX6-siRNA and control-siRNA to construct the knockdown group and control group . After 24 h of induction with 100 μmol/L RFP , Western blot and qRT-PCR were performed to detect the protein and gene expression levels of PRDX6 , multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) , multidrug resist- ance-associated proteins 2 , 3 and 4 (MRP2 , MRP3 and MRP4) , and Na + /taurine taurocholate cotransporter pro- tein (NTCP) . Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay was used to detect the apoptosis rate of cells in each group ; CCK-8 assay was used to detect the changes of cell proliferation in each group; The relative contents of ala- nine aminotransferase ( ALT) , aspartate aminotransferase ( AST) , total bilirubin ( TBIL) , indirect bilirubin (IBIL) and total bile acid (TBA) in the supernatant of cell culture medium of each group were detected by kits .
Results :
RFP increased the protein and gene expression levels of MRP2 , MRP3 , MRP4 , MDR1 , NTCP and PRDX6 in HepG2 cells (P < 0. 05) , while the protein and gene expression levels of MRP2 , MRP3 , MRP4 , MDR1 and NTCP decreased to different degrees after PRDX6 knockdown (P < 0. 05) . In addition , PRDX6 knockdown re- sulted in increased apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells (P < 0. 05) , decreased cell proliferation ability (P < 0. 05) , and increased levels of cell injury markers (ALT , AST , TBIL , DBIL , TBA) in cell culture supernatants (P < 0. 05) .
Conclusion
RFP increased the protein and gene expression of bile acid transporter and PRDX6 to increase in HepG2 cells . However , following knockdown of PRDX6 and treatment with RFP , the protein and gene expression levels of the bile acid transporter decreased and cell injury was aggravated , suggesting that PRDX6 played a protec- tive role in RFP-induced adaptive response in HepG2 cells .

Objective :
To investigate the effect of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) on the adaptive expression of bile acid transporter in human hepatoellular carcinomas (HepG2) induced by rifampicin (RFP) .
Methods:
The control group cell line (Y07) and the knockdown group cell line (Y25) were constructed by lentiviral stable transfection technology.The Y07 and Y25 cells were treated with RFP of 200 μmol / L for 48 h, and qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the protein and gene expression levels of MANF,bile salt export pump ( BSEP) ,multidrug resistance-related proteins 2 /3 /4 ( MRP2 ,MRP3 ,MRP4) ,multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) ,organic solute transporter a / β ( OSTα/ β) ,organic anion transporter ( OATP2B1) .The protein and gene expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA) ,proliferating cell marker Ki67 were used to evaluate the proliferation of cells in each group changes in levels.Changes in the protein and gene expression levels of C / EBP homologous protein( CHOP) and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 ( Caspase-3) were used to evaluate the apoptosis of cells in each group.The relative contents of alanine aminotransferase(ALT) ,aspartate aminotransferase(AST) ,alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) ,total bilirubin ( TBIL) ,indirect bilirubin ( IBIL) and total bile acid(TBA) in the supernatant of cell culture medium of each group were detected by kits.
Results:
RFP could induce the protein and gene expression of MANF,BSEP ,MRP2 ,MRP3 ,MRP4 ,MDR1 ,OSTα , OSTβ , OATP2B1 in HepG2 cells (P <0. 05 ) ,while the protein and gene expression levels of BSEP ,MRP2 ,MRP3, MRP4,MDR1,OSTα、OSTβ、OATP2B1 decreased after MANF knockdown(P<0. 05) .Moreover,under the action of RFP,the protein expression of PCNA and Ki67 in the knockdown group was still higher.The protein and gene levels of CHOP and Caspase-3 significantly increased after MANF knockdown(P<0. 05) .The levels of the hepatic cell injury markers in the cell supernatant increased significantly(P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
RFP can induce the expression of bile acid transporter such as BSEP,MRP2,MRP3,MRP4,MDR1,OSTα , OSTβ and OATP2B1 to increase in HepG2 cells(P<0. 05) ,but the expression of bile acid transporter of HepG2 after MANF knockdown will significantly decrease under the induction of rifampicin(P<0. 05) ,and cell indury is aggravated,indicating that MANF plays a protective role in RFP-induced adaptive responses by regulating the bile acid transporter.
