Objective:To detect the level of the circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA) in plasma of children with primary carnitine deficiency (PCD)-associated cardiomyopathy and evaluate its clinical significance.Methods:In this prospective case-control study, peripheral blood samples were collected from 7 PCD patients with cardiomyopathy (PCD group), 16 dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients (DCM group), and 50 healthy children (healthy control group) in the Pediatric Cardiovascular Department Ward of First Hospital of Jilin University from July 2017 to June 2022.The ccf-mtDNA levels were measured and compared between groups by the real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The correlations between plasma ccf-mtDNA level and blood free carnitine level and cardiac function in the PCD group were analyzed.The changes in the ccf-mtDNA level were monitored after L-carnitine treatment in the PCD group.The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison among the three groups.The Mann-Whitney test was used for comparison between the PCD group and the control group.Changes before and after treatment in the PCD group were analyzed using the paired Wilcoxon rank sum test.The correlation between variables was evaluated by Logistic regression.Results:The plasma ccf-mtDNA levels in the PCD and DCM groups were 3.69×10 6 (1.09×10 6-7.26×10 6) copies/L and 0.99×10 6 (0.25×10 6-4.10×10 6) copies/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than that in the healthy control group[0.09×10 6 (0.01×10 6-0.35×10 6) copies/L]( H=33.34, 24.69; all P<0.01). Besides, the plasma ccf-mtDNA level in the PCD group was higher than that in the DCM group ( H=6.31, P<0.05). In the PCD group, the plasma ccf-mtDNA level was negatively correlated with the blood free carnitine level and left ventricular ejection fraction ( r=-0.85, -0.82, all P<0.05) and positively correlated with the modified Ross score and the N-terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide level ( r=0.81, 0.83, all P<0.05) before L-carnitine treatment.After treatment, the plasma ccf-mtDNA level decreased, and the blood free carnitine level and cardiac function recovered in the PCD group.The plasma ccf-mtDNA level declined sharply from the 3 rd month[0.96×10 6(0.50×10 6-2.27×10 6) copies/L] after treatment ( Z=2.24, P<0.05) and got to 0.27×10 6 (0.18×10 6-0.76×10 6) copies/L, 0.29×10 6(0.19×10 6-0.78×10 6) copies/L, and 0.16×10 6(0.10×10 6-1.06×10 6) copies/L at the 6 th, 9 th, and 12 th months after treatment, respectively, with no statistically significant difference compared to the healthy control group[0.09×10 6(0.01×10 6-0.35×10 6) copies/L] ( Z=1.23, 1.09, 2.12; all P>0.05). Conclusions:Plasma ccf-mtDNA may act as one pathogenic factor of cardiomyopathy in PCD, and monitoring its level is clinically important for heart condition assessment in PCD.

Background and objective The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to opti-mize the early diagnoses in the coexistence of COPD and primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 118 patients with COPD complicated with primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively, including age, sex, smoking history, smoking index, clinical symptoms and signs, pathological type, staging, metastasis site and lung func-tion index. 120 patients with simple COPD were selected as control.Results The smoking rate (55.1%) and smoking index ≥400 branch /year (90.8%) of the patients with COPD complicated with primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma were higher than the simple COPD group (20.8%, 48.0%). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the incidence of common symptoms such as cough, sputum, fever, fatigue and dyspnea in COPD complicated with primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma patients with simple COPD group (P>0.05), while the in-cidence of hemoptysis, weight loss, chest pain, hoarseness, pleural effusion and atelectasis were significantly higher than those in simple COPD group (P<0.01). When the patients were first diagnosed as COPD with primary bronchopulmonary carcino-ma, 63.6% of the group were advanced or located late, and the distant metastases are common for pleural metastasis and bone metastases. There was no significant difference in forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC),FEV1% pre, total lung capacity (TLC) and residual volume (RV)/TLC between the two groups (P>0.05), but the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) of COPD patients complicated with primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma was lower than that of simple COPD patients (P<0.05) . In the COPD patients with primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma was the most common pathological type (51.7%). Male patients were mainly squamous cell carcinoma (60.7%), while female patients with adenocarcinoma (69.0%).Conclusion COPD combined with primary bronchopulmonary carci-noma occurs in male smokers more. There is higher incidence of squamous cell carcinoma. When they are first diagnosed, most of them are advanced or located late, due to no specific clinical symptoms at the early stages. Periodic chest CT examination for COPD patients can help early diagnoses of primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the value of D-dimer plus injury severity score (ISS) in predicting the prognosis of trauma patients. Methods The clinical data of 1 592 traumatic patients admitted to our emergency room from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Excluding criteria included patients below the age of 14 and patients admitted over 24 h after injury, clinical death at admission, patients left from the hospital without the approval of attend doctor, detail and complete clinical data of patients not available, patients with history of coagulopathy, primary hepatic function failure, anticoagulants used within 6 months prior to injury, and patients with multiple injury affecting more than two parts of body. Finally, a total of 1 167 patients were enrolled in this study. The 28-day prognosis was used as the endpoint. The patients were divided into survival group and death group. The differences in venous plasma D-dimer and ISS at the fi rst detection between two groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. According to ISS, the patients were divided into mild injury group, moderate injury group and severe injury group. The Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA test was used to compare the differences among different groups. Meanwhile, the area under the ROC curve was used to compare the accuracy of predictive effi ciency of D-dimer, ISS and the combination of both. Results There was a positive correlation between D-dimer and ISS, and D-dimer and ISS in survival group were significantly lower than those in death group(Z=-7.777, Z=-6.694, P <0.01). There was a statistically signifi cant difference in mortality among groups (χ2= 70.85, P <0.01); The area under the ROC curve of ISS, D-dimer and both combined was 0.728, 0.765, 0.800, respectively. The area under the ROC curve of D-dimer to predicte patients' prognosis was a little bit larger than that of ISS, but the difference was not statistically signifi cant (Z=1.051, P=0.293). The area under the ROC curve of joint both of them for the prognosis of the patients was greater than that of ISS or D-dimer alone( Z=3.028, Z=2.722, P<0.05). Conclusions The levels of D-dimer and ISS in patients with traumatic injury are correlated with the severity and mortality of patients. The increased D-dimer and ISS score indicates that the risk of death is increased, and prediction effi ciency of combining both of them is superior to either alone.

OBJECTIVETo explore the model and the feasibility of newborn hearing and ocular disease simultaneous screening program and to study the birth prevalence of newborn hearing loss and newborn ocular diseases.
METHODSThe universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) was performed using transient otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) in well baby nursery and by a two-stage TEOAE and auto auditory brainstem response (AABR) protocol in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The UNHS was simultaneous done with newborn ocular disease screening program. The examination technical method was following: the response to light, external inspection of the eyes and lids, pupil examination, red reflex examination, funduscope examination after pupil dilation for referral (for all newborn in NICU). The infants who were referred by two-stage hearing screening and/or had high-risk factors of hearing loss received following-up and routine audiological evaluation and personalized intervention from 6 months to 3 years of age. The cases had positive sign and (or) abnormal results of the ocular disease screening were referred for further examination by pediatric ophthalmologists.
RESULTSA total of 16 800 children born in Jinan Maternal and Child Hospital from October 1, 2002 to April 30, 2005. Of these infants, 15 398 cases (91.7%) had access to the simultaneous screening program for hearing and ocular diseases. The incidence of congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) among infants who did UNHS was 0.312% (48/15 398) in bilateral and 0.227% (35/15 398) in unilateral; Of the 4 cases of congenital SNHL complicated with newborn ocular diseases: 1 profound SNHL (bilateral), auditory neuropathy with congenital cataract (bilateral), 1 mild SNHL (bilateral) with membrana papillaris perseverance (left) and 1 mild SNHL (bilateral) with retina vein dilatation (bilateral), 1 mild SNHL (right) with persistent hyaloid artery (bilateral). In all 15 398 newborns, 15 neonates with congenital cataract were detected (22 eyes, 0.10%). Twenty seven neonates with less than 1500 g birth weight admitted to NICU, retinopathy of prematurity was detected in 3 neonates (6 eyes).
CONCLUSIONHearing loss and ocular diseases was not rare in neonatal and infancy. Newborn hearing and ocular disease simultaneous screening program was not only feasible but also effective in detecting hearing loss and (or) ocular disorders. Early intervention was important for the prevention or treatment of neonatal hearing loss and (or) ocular diseases, such as newborn hearing loss with congenital cataract, retinopathy of prematurity and so on.
