Objective:To summarize the prenatal ultrasound features and prognosis of fetal goiter.Methods:The prenatal ultrasound findings and clinical data of five cases of fetal goiter in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from August 2018 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed regarding the sonographic features, concomitant signs, and prognosis using descriptive statistical method.Results:The five cases were first diagnosed as fetal goiter at 25-35 weeks of gestation, with all of them showing hypoechoic or medium echoic masses in the fetal anterior neck area. One case exhibited a central blood flow signal, early appearance of the distal femoral ossification center, tachycardia, increased cardiothoracic ratio during pregnancy, and developed postnatal hyperthyroidism. Three cases showed peripheral blood flow signals and had postnatal hypothyroidism, one of which had delayed appearance of distal femoral ossification center and increased cardiothoracic ratio. One case showed a peripheral blood flow signal with normal thyroid function after birth. Among the five cases, tracheal compression and polyhydramnios were found in one case; neck hyperextension was found in three cases. After treatment, the size of goiters did not change or shrunk in three cases and increased with the gestations in one case. One case did not receive any prenatal treatment and was born through cesarean section due to late detection and increased cardiothoracic ratio. Two cases underwent cesarean section at 35 gestational weeks, one had full-term cesarean section, and two delivered vaginally at term. Hyperthyroidism in one neonate was caused by excessively elevated maternal thyrotropin receptor antibody. Three cases of hypothyroidism occurred due to maternal antithyroid medication whose thyroid function recovered after supplementation of thyroxine. The thyroid function was normal in the rest of the baby. During the follow-up from 9 months to 4 years and 11 months old, no abnormalities in the intellectual and motor development of the five children were found.Conclusions:Fetal goiter often exhibits hypochoic or medium echoic mass in the anterior neck during prenatal ultrasonography. The fetal thyroid function could be evaluated according to different blood flow patterns and the presence of the ossification center. The prognosis of fetal goiter is good after active prenatal treatment.

Objective:To analyze the effect of permissive hypercapnia(PHC) in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS).Methods:Seventy preterm infants diagnosed with RDS from July 2019 to September 2020 were enrolled.The preterm infants were divided into PHC group[noninvasive high-frequency ventilation(NHFV)+ PHC, n=34] and non PHC group(NHFV, n=36)after injection of pulmonary surfactant by LISA method.Ventilator parameters, time of ventilation, oxygen therapy, enteral feedingand hospitalization days were compared between the two groups.The incidences of patent ductus arteriosus, intracranial hemorrhage, pneumothorax and ventilator-induced lung injury were recorded. Results:The time of mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy, age of enteral feeding and hospitalization time in PHC group were less than those in non PHC group( P<0.05). PaO 2 and PaCO 2 of the two groups had no difference before mechanical ventilation treatment( P>0.05), and PaO 2 of the two groups had no difference after 24 hours of treatment( P>0.05). After treatment, PaCO 2 in non PHC group was significantly lower, and there was no significant difference in PHC group( P<0.05). There was no significant difference regarding ventilator parameters MAP and FiO 2 after 24 hours of treatment between the two groups( P>0.05), and the ΔP of PHC group was significantly lower than that of non-PHC group ( P<0.05). The incidence of ventilator-induced lung injury in PHC group was lower than that in non-PHC group( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with conventional ventilation therapy, PHC has similar therapeutic effect, but it can shorten the mechanical ventilation time, oxygen therapy time, age of enteral feeding and hospitalization days, and reduce the incidence of ventilator-induced lung injury.

Objective:
To observe the clinicopathologic features of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma associated with human papilloma virus (OPSCC-HPV) and discuss the role and value of different in situ hybridization (ISH) detection methods for HPV in pathologic diagnosis.
Methods:
Fifteen cases of OPSCC-HPV were collected from Department of Pathology, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to August 2018. These cases were diagnosed in accordance with the WHO classification of head and neck tumors. The histopathologic features and the clinicopathologic data were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemistry (two-step EnVision method) was done to evaluate the expression of p16, Ki-67 and p53. ISH was used to detect HPV DNA (6/11 and 16/18). RNAscope technology was used to evaluate the presence of HPV mRNAs (16 and 18).
Results:
The mean age for the 15 patients (8 males, 7 females) was 47 years (range from 30 to 69 years). OPSCC-HPV typically presentedat an advanced clinical stage, six patients had cervical lymphadenopathy (large and cystic), seven had tonsillar swelling, one had tumor at base of tongue, and one had odynophagia. Microscopically the tumors exhibited distinctive non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma morphology. Cervical nodal metastases were large and cystic, with thickening of lymph node capsules. OPSCC-HPV raised from crypt epithelium and extended beneath the tonsillar surface epithelial lining as nests and lobules, often with central necrosis. Tumor cells displayed a high N: C ratio, and high mitotic and apoptotic rates. Tumor nests are often embedded within lymphoid stroma, and may be infiltrated by lymphoid cells.Fifteen cases (15/15) were strongly positive for p16; Ki-67 index were 60%-90%; they were focally positive or negative for p53. Ten cases (10/10) were negative for HPV 6/11 DNA, and one case(1/10) was focally positive for HPV16/18 DNA. Eleven cases (11/11) were strongly positive for HPV16 mRNA, one case was focally positive for HPV18 mRNA.
Conclusions
OPSCC-HPV is a pathologically and clinically distinct form of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. OPSCC-HPV is associated with high-risk HPV (type 16) in all cases. Detection of high-risk HPV16 mRNA by RNAscope is of great significance in the final diagnosis and pathogen identification.

Objective? To explore the effects of menu teaching and tradition teaching model in star student appraise among nursing students in clinical nursing teaching of neurosurgery department. Methods? From March 2017 to February 2018, we selected 128 nursing students in internship at the 81th Hospital, Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. All of the nursing students were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, 64 cases in each group with one-to-one clinical teaching. Control group carried out tradition teaching model. On this basis, experimental group applied menu teaching. We compared the practice effects and the ratio of nursing students with 3-star or above. Results? The total score of examination performance of nurses in experimental group was (268.88±14.93) higher than that in control group with a statistical difference (t=-6.222, P< 0.05). There were 33 nursing students being deducted marks 0-2 and 8 nursing students being deducted 7-9 in medical ethics and clinical practical competency in experimental group; there were 24 and 18 nursing students in control group respectively; the difference was statistical (χ2=5.256, P<0.05). There were 39.1% of nursing students being ranked as 4-stat or 5-star in experimental group and 14.1% in control group with a statistical difference (χ2=10.439, P<0.05). Conclusions? In clinical nursing teaching of neurosurgery, menu teaching model can improve abilities and examination performance, stimulate the learning interest of nursing students.
