Objective: To study the cause of rapid thrombocytopenia and organ hemorrhage in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients after interventional occlusion. Methods: A total of 665 CHD patients received interventional occlusion in our hospital from 2011-01 to 2015-12 were enrolled. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the defects: Atrial septal defect (ASD) group,n=100, Ventricular septal defect (VSD) group,n=100 and Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) group,n=465. Pre- and post-interventional occlusion platelet levels, the relationship between PDA occluder diameter and platelet counts were compared. Pressure difference between both sides of occluder was randomly measured in a part of patients including 50 in ASD group, 50 in VSD group and 102 in PDA group. Based on occluder diameter, the 102 PDA patients were further divided into 2 subgroups: Giant PDA,n=42 and Medium-small PDA,n=60; pressure differences between both sides of occluder were compared between 2 subgroups. Results: No severe thrombocytopenia and organ hemorrhage occurred in ASD group or VSD group. PDA group had 36/465 (7.74%) patients with severe thrombocytopenia, 18 (3.87%) with organ hemorrhage and all of them occurred in giant PDA subgroup; the diameter of PDA occluder was negatively related to post-operative to platelet counts (r=-0.659,P=0.001). For pressure difference on both sides of occluder, compared with prior operation, PDA group showed increased systolic and diastolic pressure differences and increased mean pressure difference at immediately post operation, allP< 0.05; systolic pressure difference in VSD group was (56.57±15.33) mmHg, in Medium-small PDA subgroup was (58.33±26.65) mmHg and in Giant PDA subgroup was (94.66±27.62) mmHg which was much higher than those in VSD group and Medium-small PDA subgroup, allP<0.01. Conclusion: Rapid thrombocytopenia and organ hemorrhage in CHD after interventional occlusion only happened in giant PDA patients. High pressure difference formed high-speed ifltration blood lfow which may cause scouring damage on platelets and it was the main reason for thrombocytopenia occurrence.

Objective To investigate the miRNA expression profiles in rectal cancer tissues and their associations with clinical pathological stage, depth of tumor invasion, and lymph node metastasis, and to evaluate the potential of miRNA as diagnostic and prognostic markers of rectal cancer. Methods Human miRNA microarray was used to profile miRNA expression in rectal cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues (n=71). The up-regulated miR-93-5p and down-regulated miR-27a-3p were screened out, and the top differentially expressed miRNA were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction ( qRT-PCR) . The relationship between the expression of miRNA and clinical parameters was analyzed by ANOVA and Spearman correlation. Results The expression of miR-27a-3p was down-regulated in miRNA microarray, but was up-regulated in qRT-PCR analysis;the data were relatively discrete. The expression of miR-93-5p was up-regulated in both miRNA microarray and qRT-PCR analysis;the expression level of miR-93-5p in rectal cancer tissues was 3165 times that in adjacent normal tissues ( P=00058);the expression level was correlated with tumor volume ( P= 0004 ) , and was positively correlated with the level of carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) before treatment ( P=0001) and the number of lymph nodes metastases (rs=0534, P=0005). Conclusions There is a differential miRNA expression pattern between rectal cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues. The miR-93-5p is highly up-regulated in rectal cancer tissues and may serve as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of rectal cancer.

Objective:
To investigate and explore the changes of the diagnosis of Chinese children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Methods:
The families of two groups of children aged 1-6 and 6-16 years who were diagnosed with ASD were selected from ALSOLIFE platform, and the online questionnaire was used to investigate the symptoms and its diagnosis related information. ANOVA was applied to compare the mean values, and χ 2 analysis was taken to compare the differences of two groups in the time of finding symptoms, the time of the first diagnosis, the time of treatment, and the diagnosis delayment.
Results:
The initial recognition age of symptoms was 26.05 months age (2.17 years) in the young group (1-6 years), and 30.76 months age (2.56 years) in the old group (6-16 years). The age of first visit doctor was 28.21 months age (2.35 years) in the young group and 34.29 months (2.86 years) in the old group, while the average delay was only 3.43 months, of which the average delay was 4.52 months in the old group and 2.78 months in the young group. The age of diagnosed as ASD was 38.01 months age (3.17 years) in the young group and 31.07 months age (2.59 years) in the old group, while the average delay from first diagnosis to last diagnosis was 3.16 months. The delay from first diagnosis to last one was 3.71 months age in old age group, and 2.83 for the younger age group, The above differences were statistically significant ( F =328.30, 535.64, 507.71, 103.03, 17.79, P <0.01). Most of the children were still in the top hospitals to get diagnosed, but the role of child care was becoming more and more important.
Conclusion
The diagnosis efficiency of ASD children has been greatly improved, the time of symptom identification and diagnosis is advanced, and the delay of seeing a doctor and diagnosis is shortened.

Objective:To evaluate the outcome of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of colorectal tumors, and to analyze the factors affecting the therapeutic efficacy of ESD.Methods:Clinical data of patients with colorectal tumors who were treated with ESD in Department of Gastroenterology in Beijing Hospital from November 2016 to December 2019 were reviewed. A total of 82 patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal adenoma or carcinoma of diameter ≥20 mm were included. The clinical features, ESD and pathological outcomes of the patients were analyzed.Results:All 82 lesions were single, with the mean diameter of 29.72±10.74 mm. Lesions were divided into the laterally spreading tumors (LST), mainly located in the ascending colon and ileocecal region (47.8%, 22 / 46) and the protruding colorectal tumors, mainly located in the left colon, 52.8% (19 / 36) of which were located in the sigmoid colon. The overall resection rate was 81.7%(67/82) and the curative resection rate was 72.0%(59/82). The incidences of bleeding and perforation were 2.4%(2/82) and 1.2%(1/82), respectively. The curative resection rates [91.4%(32/35), 63.6%(7/11) and 55.6%(20/36), P=0.003] and surgical operation rates [8.6%(3/35), 18.2%(2/11) and 36.1%(13/36), P=0.010] of LST-G, LST-NG and protruding colorectal tumors were significantly different. Multivariate regression analysis showed that protruding colorectal tumor ( OR=3.396, 95% CI: 1.014-11.374, P=0.047) and submucosal severe fibrosis (F2 type) ( OR=5.508, 95% CI: 2.216-13.692, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for non-curative ESD resection of colorectal tumors. Conclusion:ESD is effective and safe for colorectal tumors of diameter ≥ 20 mm. However, there are some differences in the rate of submucosal invasion and treatment outcome among different types of lesions. The risk factors for non-curative resection are protruding tumors and severe submucosal fibrosis.

By the end of 2021, a total of 915000 cases of occupational pneumoconiosis and 450000 existing cases have been reported nationwide. Silicosis is a common and serious pneumoconiosis disease caused by long-term inhalation of large amounts of free silica dust and extensive nodular fibrosis in the lungs. Because its specific pathogenic mechanism has not been elucidated and the relevant research progress is slow, there is still a lack of effective therapeutic and interventional drugs. With the increase of national attention and the unique advantages of Chinese materia medica in the treatment of silicosis, more and more studies have been conducted on the treatment of silicosis with active ingredients of Chinese materia medica in China, but most of them are still in preclinical research stage. This article mainly introduced the pharmacological action and mechanism of selected active components of Chinese materia medica in the intervention of silicosis from three aspects: anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and intervention of apoptosis, providing ideas for subsequent research and development of new drugs for silicosis. This article argues, it is considered that some traditional Chinese medicines must observe the pathological changes in the treatment of silicosis in the overall animal experiment, clarify their pharmacodynamic effects, and further study the multiple targets and pathways involved in them to elucidate their specific mechanisms of action. At the same time, it can strengthen the analysis of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, or modify the structure of active ingredients, and then enhance its pharmacological activity in the treatment of silicosis, realizing the transformation of preclinical research stage to the results of clinical research.
