Objective: To explore the impact of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in patients with left-to-right shunt congenital heart disease (CHD) combining pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and its clinical signiifcance. Methods: A total of 78 relevant patients were enrolled in this study. According to mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) measured during operation, the patients were divided into 4 groups: Non-PAH group, the patients with mPAP≤25 mmHg,n=20, Mild PAH group, 25 mmHg mPAP≤35 mmHg,n=21, Moderate PAH group, 35 mmHg45 mmHg,n=23. 2 mL pulmonary artery blood was taken from each patient and plasma level of NF-κB was measured by ELISA to study the relationship between NF-κB and mPAP. Results: Pulmonary arterial plasma levels of NF-κB were increased accordingly as in Non-PAH group was (180.59 ± 10.16) ng/L, in Mild PAH group was (572.83 ± 34.80) ng/L, in Moderate PAH group was (980.85 ± 24.95) ng/L and in Severe PAH group was (1 253.4 ±130.8) ng/L, allP<0.01; NF-κB level was positively related to mPAP (r=0.856,P<0.01). Conclusion: Plasma level of NF-κB was involved in the pathological physiology process of left-to-right shunt CHD combining PAH, it couldbe used as one of the references for distinguishing the severity of PAH and for monitoring the dynamic changes of PAH in relevant patients.

Most chemical medicines have polymorphs. The difference of medicine polymorphs in physicochemical properties directly affects the stability, efficacy, and safety of solid medicine products. Polymorphs is incomparably important to pharmaceutical chemistry, manufacturing, and control. Meantime polymorphs is a key factor for the quality of high-end drug and formulations. Polymorph prediction technology can effectively guide screening of trial experiments, and reduce the risk of missing stable crystal form in the traditional experiment. Polymorph prediction technology was firstly based on theoretical calculations such as quantum mechanics and computational chemistry, and then was developed by the key technology of machine learning using the artificial intelligence. Nowadays, the popular trend is to combine the advantages of theoretical calculation and machine learning to jointly predict crystal structure. Recently, predicting medicine polymorphs has still been a challenging problem. It is expected to learn from and integrate existing technologies to predict medicine polymorphs more accurately and efficiently.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of ultrasonic diagnosis for neonatal annular pancreas,analyze the reasons of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis,and improve diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for this disease.Methods Clinical data of 98 newborns with annular pancreas confirmed by gastrointestinal contrast and surgery were analyzed retrospectively.Preoperative ultrasonogram were compared with the result of gastrointestinal contrast and surgery.Ultrasound images failed to be correctly dignosed were further studied to summarize diagnostic points for this disease.Results Among the 98 cases, 75 were correctly diagnosed by ultrasound with a diagnostic accordance rate of 76.5%,1 8 were missed diagnosed and 5 were misdiagnosed with a total misdiagnosis rate of 23.5%.Ten cases associated with other congenital gastrointestinal tract anomalies were missed diagnosed due to ignoring scanning pancreas.Five cases were missed diagnosed due to obvious intestinal cavity flatulence.Three cases were missed diagnosed due to lack of awareness of the disease.Five cases were misdiagnosed for duodenal stenosis or duodenal atresia.Conclusions Ultrasound has important diagnostic value for neonatal annular pancreas,providing the dignostic evidences for clinical treatment.Thus it can be used as the preferred auxiliary examination of the disease.Since annular pancreas is often accompanied by other gastrointestinal malformations and can be interfered by abdominal gas,missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis occurred easily.To improve the accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis,all causes of neonatal gastrointestinal tract obstructions should be considered during the examination.
