Objective To compare the image quality of portal venous system in the patients with live cirrhosis and portal hyper-tension using two different inj ection methods,so as to investigate the optimization of imaging techniques.Methods Single-phase in-jection (group A)or biphasic injection (group B)was applied by random on 40 patients for portal venous system vascular imaging, and subsequently image quality and technical advantages between the two groups were compared and analyzed respectively.Results 1.There was no significant difference in image quality between the two groups(P>0.05),while contrast agent dosage (90 mL)in group B is less than group A(100 mL).2.The CT value of Portal vein,liver parenchyma and P-L discrepancy in group B were slightly lower than those in group A,however,no statistical difference was noted(P>0.05).After 45 second,the P-L discrepancy of group B was larger than that of group A.The peak times of portal vein,liver parenchyma and the P-L discrepancy in group B were longer than those in group A(P<0.05).3.The graph of P-L discrepancy demonstrated:the threshold interval of P-L discrep-ancy in group B was longer than that in group A.Conclusion Biphasic inj ection methods could not only afford reliable imaging quali-ty on portal venous system vascular imaging in the patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension,but also lead to a less total dose of contrast agent.Therefore,it could be used as an optimal choice of imaging technology for portal venous system vascular ima-ging.

Objective :
To explore the influencing factors for maternal anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy, so as to provide the evidence for the effective prevention of anemia.
Methods :
Data of parturients, who received prenatal care and delivered at Hangzhou Women's Hospital from October to December of 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The obstetric electronic medical record system of this hospital was used to collect general information of the subjects. Serum ferritin, serum vitamin B12, serum folic acid and hemoglobin were determined at the second and third trimester. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for anemia in the third trimester.
Results :
A total of 1 143 parturients were enrolled, with a median age of 29 ( interquartile range: 4 ) years. Among them, 1 050 cases had normal weight before pregnancy, accounting for 91.86%; 267 cases were multiparas, accounting for 23.36%; 74 cases of anemia occurred during the third trimester of pregnancy, accounting for 6.92%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the multipara(OR=1.714,95%CI: 1.032-2.848), iron deficiency duiring the second trimester(OR=3.301,95%CI: 1.401-7.781), iron deficiency during the third trimester (OR=14.134,95%CI: 1.944-102.774)and folate deficiency during the third trimester(OR=2.960,95%CI: 1.295-6.766)were influencing factors for anemia during the third trimester.
Conclusion
Anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy is related to iron deficiency during the second and third trimesters, folic acid deficiency during the third trimester, and multipara.

In this paper, metabolic networks of the Corynebacterium glutamicum GWY020 and the two de-rivatives carrying additional mutations HUI821and GUI089 were established and modified. The concentra-tions of extra-cellular metabolites were determined under sub-steady-state (50 h~52 h) of the batch culture. The metabolic flux distribution maps of the three strains were obtained, compared and analyzed. These re-sults indicate that the introduction of analog supersensitive marker or analog resistant marker skew the metabolic flux towards the formation of L-Arginine. This study revealed the usefulness of the metabolic flux analysis as a tool for verification of existing production strains. The analysis may play an important role in helping us to rationally re-design metabolism for further improvement of fermentation process.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α expression (HIF-1α) on toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway-mediated rat lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI).Method Forty-five S-D rats were randomly divided into Sham group,LIRI group,LIRI+ TLR4-activated group,LIRI+ TLR4-inhibited group,LIRI + ASK1-inhibited group,LIRI + p38-inhibited group,and LIRI + HIF-1α-inhibited group.The interaction between TLR4 signaling pathway [including TLR4,myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88),TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-βTIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β (TRIF),Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) and p38] and HIF-1α and the role of TLR4-dependent HIF-1α in LIRI in vivo were analyzed.Result In LIRI,HIF-1α accumulation was induced in a TLR4-dependent fashion,and MyD88,but not TRIF,and activation of ASK1 and P38 were found to be critical for TLR4-mediated HIF-1α accumulation.HIF-1α protein played a critical role in TLR4-mediated lung injury of LIRI.HIF-1α up-regulated TLR4 expression in LIRI in a positive feedback manner.Conclusion We identify that HIF-1α has a damaging effect on TLR4 signaling pathway-mediated LIRI and TLR4-HIF-1 may synergistically involved in the development of LIRI.Therefore we suggest that the interaction between them may represent a novel therapeutic target for the development of novel target-based therapies of LIRI.
