Objectives To investigate the associations of the plasma homocysteine levels with the alterations in arterial stiffness in a commu-nity-based cohort. The gender differences in these associations were examined. Methods We evaluated the relationship between plasma homocysteine levels to three measures of vascular function [carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CF-PWV), carotid-ankle PWV (CA-PWV) and heart rate corrected augmentation index (AI)] in 1680 participants (mean age:61.5 years;709 men, 971 women) from communities of Beijing, China. Results In univariate analysis, plasma homocysteine levels was positively related to the CF-PWV (r=0.211, P<0.0001) and CA-PWV (r=0.148, P<0.0001), whereas inversely associated with AI (r=?0.052, P=0.016). In multiple linear regression models adjusting for covariants, plasma homocysteine remained positively related to the CF-PWV (standardizedβ=0.065, P=0.007) in total cases. When the groups of men and women were examined separately, plasma homocysteine remained positively associated with the CF-PWV (standardizedβ=0.082, P=0.023) in men, whereas the relations between homocysteine and any of the arterial stiffness indices were not further present in women. Conclusions In Chinese population, plasma homocysteine levels are independently associated with alterations of large artery stiffness in men but not in women.

Objective To discuss the treatment of femoral fracture combined with ipsilateral acetabular fracture and femoral head dislocation and the reasons for the misdiagnosis of the injury. Methods According to AO classification, there were 3 cases of type 32A, 2 of type 32B, and 1 of type 32C, who were treated with internal fixation of interlocking nails. There was 1 case of type 33C3, who was treated with femoral condyle supporting plate. There were 2 cases of type 31A2, who were treated with DHS. According to the Letournel classification, fracture of the acetabular posterior wall was found in 8 cases and fracture of the acetabular posterior column and wall in 1 case. All the cases of acetabular fracture were treated with internal fixation of titanium alloy reconstructive plates. Delayed diagnosis was found in 2 cases in this group. Results The 9 patients were followed up for 13 to 38 months (averaging 22.4 months). According to the American criteria, 8 cases was rated as excellent, and 1 case as good, with thd total excellent and good rate being 100%. Conclusions Femoral fractures combined with ipsilateral acetabular fracture and femoral head dislocation are a rare, complex and serious injury. They usually involve other organs, and are easy to be misdiagnosed. The surgeries should be done as early as possible. The internal fixation plays a key role in management of the fracture of acetabular.

BACKGROUND:Hepatocyte transplantation has attracted more and more attention as a therapeutic measure for liver failure and genetic metabolic liver diseases.OBJECTIVE:TO evaluate the efficacy and safety of human hepatocyte transplantation in treating hepatitis B related liver failure in one case by a 2-year follow-up.DESIGN:A case-report of 2-year follow-up.SETTING:No.9 Department of Infectious Diseases,Bioengineering Research Room,the 302 Hospital of Chinese PLA.PARTICI PANT:One inpatient with hepatitis B related liver failure was selected from the 302 Hospital of Chinese PLA.and she was diagnosed according the laboratory tests.The transplanted hepatocytes were originated frOm the healthy liver of a 24-year-old man,who had signed the protocol for liver donation before death.METHODS:The hepatocyte transplantation was completed in the Department of Radiology,the 302 Hospital of Chinese PLA in December 2004.Liver was isolated to obtain human primary hepatocytes, and then cryopreserved.The hepatocytes were transplanted into recipient spleen via femoral vein after resuscitation.The clinical symptoms,changes of blood biochemical indexes,and changes of spleen MRI signals were observed before and after operation.The patient was reexamined every half a year after operation, including liver function, blood coagulation function,B-mode ultrasonography,gastroscopy and MRI,and she was followed up for 2 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Liver function,blood coagulation function, imaging indexes, immunological indexes,complication and rejection.RESULTS:①Totally(1-2)×1010 hepatocytes were harvested,and the viability of rewarmed hepatocytes was 60%,and finally 2×109 hepatocytes were transplanted.②Two months later,the clinical symptoms of the recipient were obviously ameliorated,and serum bilirubin and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)were obviously decreased,while prothrombin activity was markedly increased.20 months later,the MRI results showed that there was hepatocyte image in spleen.Two years after operation.the total bilirubin level was 20 μmol/L,direct bilirubin level was 7 μmol/L, alanine aminotransferase was 416.75 nkat/L,AST was 533.44 nkat/L,albumin was 37 g/L,prothrombin activity was 90%,which were all obviously ameliorated as compared with those before operation(474.5 μmol/L,340.3 μmol/L,400.08 nkat/L,1 200.24 nkat/L,38 g/L,25%).The patient left the hospital 2 months later and could do light-burdened job.No complications of hydroperitonia and liver function failure, etc.were observed,and no rejection occurred.Several reexaminations by B-mode ultrasonography all indicated the further aggravations of liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices.She was admitted to hospital for twice because of esophageal varices bleeding,and cured by endoscopic variceal sclerosis therapy.CONCLUSION:Hepatocyte transplantation can ameliorate liver function without rejection,but it cannot relieve portal hypertension.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the molecular pathogenesis of SLC26A4 mutations associated with inner ear malformations including large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS), Mondini dysplasia and inner ear malformations but not accompanied with LVAS.
METHOD:
DNA sample and clinical material were obtained from 14 sporadic LVAS probands, six Mondini dysplasia probands and seven inner ear malformations excluding IVAS probands. SLC26A4 gene mutation was analyzed by direct sequencing for its 20 coding exons. GJB2 gene and also mt12SrRNA were analyzed by direct sequencing.
RESULT:
In 14 cases of LVAS, two mutations were detected in 12 patients (85.7%, either homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations), and one mutation was found in two patients (14.3%). In six cases of Mondini dysplasia, two mutations were detected in all of patients (100%). No mutation could be found in the seven cases of other inner ear abnormalities not accompanied with LVAS. No pathogenic mutation was detected in all of these 27 probands in GJB2 gene and mt12SrRNA 1555/1494T.
CONCLUSION
We have shown that LVAS and Mondini dysplasia closely correlate with SLC26A4 gene. No mutation was detected in seven probands of inner ear malformations not accompanied with LVAS. We should study the molecular pathogenesis of this disease in depth.

Objective:
: The spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity throughout the world. The purpose of this retrospective study is to develop multiple models for predicting ICH outcomes using machine learning (ML).
Methods:
: Between January 2014 and October 2021, we included ICH patients identified by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging and treated with surgery. At the 6-month check-up, outcomes were assessed using the modified Rankin Scale. In this study, four ML models, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree C5.0, Artificial Neural Network, Logistic Regression were used to build ICH prediction models. In order to evaluate the reliability and the ML models, we calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR).
Results:
: We identified 71 patients who had favorable outcomes and 156 who had unfavorable outcomes. The results showed that the SVM model achieved the best comprehensive prediction efficiency. For the SVM model, the AUC, accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, PLR, NLR, and DOR were 0.91, 0.92, 0.92, 0.93, 11.63, 0.076, and 153.03, respectively. For the SVM model, we found the importance value of time to operating room (TOR) was higher significantly than other variables.
Conclusion
: The analysis of clinical reliability showed that the SVM model achieved the best comprehensive prediction efficiency and the importance value of TOR was higher significantly than other variables.

Objective To describe our experiences of application of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (OPCABG) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with dilated left ventricle. Methods A retrospective analysis of 303 patients with dilated left ventricle [left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD)> 60 mm] who underwent OPCABG from January 2008 to December 2018 at a single center was conducted. There were 205 males and 98 females at age of 45-87 (66.9±9.3) years. Results The mean pulmonary artery pressure in 90 patients was more than 25 mm Hg. Sixteen patients underwent OPCABG with emergent transition of extracorporeal circulation (CPB). Twenty-one patients underwent OPCABG with CPB at the beginning of CABG. Thirty-five patients underwent intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP). Four patients died during in-hospital time with the experience of emergent transition of CPB. Six months after operation, LVEDD and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were improved. Conclusion OPCABG is a safe and effective alternative for CAD patients with dilated left ventricle. However, for patients with higher pulmonary pressure and a spherical left ventricle after cardiac reshaping, there is a high risk of emergent transition of CPB during OPCABG; for this kind of patients, it is necessary to start CPB at the beginning of OPCABG.
