Objective To investigate the predictive value of perfusion imaging parameters of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) for the poor prognosis in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Methods A total of 118 patients with ONFH who were treated in a hospital from May 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the research subjects. All patients received 3D printing guide plate assisted with curettage of necrotic focus combined with ceramic rod implantation. According to the one-year follow-up results, patients were divided into a good prognosis group (n=94) and a poor prognosis group (n=24). Baseline data and MSCT perfusion imaging parameters (mean transit time [MTT], blood flow [BF], blood volume [BV]) were compared between the two groups. The correlations of MTT, BF and BV with the severity and prognosis of ONFH were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of MSCT perfusion imaging parameters for the prognosis of ONFH patients. Results There were significant differences in the necrosis site, necrosis volume and Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) staging between the two groups (P<0.05). The MTT was shorter, BF was less and BV was less in the poor prognosis group than those in the good prognosis group (P<0.001). MTT, BF and BV were negatively correlated with necrosis volume and ARCO staging (P<0.001). Decreased MTT, BF, and BV were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ONFH patients (P<0.001). The AUC of the combination of these three parameters for predicting poor prognosis was 0.918, which was significantly better than that of independent parameter (P<0.05). Conclusions The parameters of MSCT perfusion imaging are closely related to the condition and prognosis of ONFH patients, and are help of predicting the prognosis of ONFH patients.

Objective:To explore the effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) on SARS-CoV-2 infection, the related symptoms, and recovery in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) during the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The information including general data and SARS-CoV-2 infection of 319 CML patients treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2021 to December 2021 and 547 co-residents during the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic was collected by telephone follow-up from December 2022 to January 2023. The differences in clinical characteristics, infection rate, symptom severity, and recovery time of the SARS-CoV-2 between CML patients and their co-residents, between patients whether getting vaccine for SARS-CoV-2, between patients whether receiving TKI and among CML patients receiving different types of TKI were compared. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing the infection rate, symptom severity, and recovery time of SARS-CoV-2.Results:The median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of CML patients was 46 years (36 years, 57 years) and all 319 CML patients included 188 (59.0%) males and 131 (41.0%) females; the median age of co-residents of CML patients was 41 years (22 years, 55 years), and all 547 co-residents included 266 (48.6%) males and 281 (51.4%) females. There were statistically significant differences in age, gender, vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 or not, infection rate [83.7% (267/319) vs. 90.5% (495/547)], distribution of symptomatic patients at different severity levels (mild, moderate, severe, and fatal), and recovery time [7 d (5 d, 14 d) vs. 6 d (2 d, 8 d)] between CML patients and co-residents (all P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in age, gender, SARS-CoV-2 infection rate, distribution of symptomatic patients at different severity levels and recovery time between CML patients (143 cases) and their co-residents (517 cases) who received the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (all P < 0.05); there were no statistically significant differences in age, gender, infection rate, distribution of symptomatic patients at different severity levels and recovery time between vaccinated and unvaccinated CML patients with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (all P > 0.05). There were 297 (93.1%) CML patients who took TKI and 22 patients who did not take TKI. There were no statistically significant differences in age and gender distribution between patients taking TKI and those not taking TKI (all P > 0.05). The infection rate of SARS-CoV-2 in patients taking TKI was lower than that of patients not taking TKI [82.5% (245/297) vs. 100.0% (22/22)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.032); however, there were no significant differences in distribution of symptomatic patients at different severity levels and recovery time between patients taking TKI and those not taking TKI (all P > 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TKI therapy was an independent protective factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection in CML patients (taking TKI vs. not taking TKI: OR = 1.970, 95% CI: 1.093-3.554, P = 0.024), and was an independent risk factor for severe symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection (assigning mild, moderate, severe and fatal levels the value of 0, 1, 2, 3; OR = 0.042, 95% CI: 0.004-0.421, P = 0.007) and recovery time exceeding 7 d (> 7 d vs. ≤ 7 d, OR = 0.649, 95% CI: 0.426-0.988, P = 0.044). The third TKI therapy was given in 1 patient, and there were no statistically significant differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection rate, the symptoms at different severity levels and recovery time > 7 d between CML patients receiving first generation TKI (63 cases) and those receiving second generation TKI (77 cases) who were vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:TKI can reduce the infection rate of SARS-CoV-2 in CML patients, but will aggravate the severity of symptoms and prolong the recovery time. TKI types may have no impact on whether infected with SARS-CoV-2, the severity level of symptoms after infection and recovery time.

Objective:To investigate the abnormal changes of the nodal centrality of the whole-brain network in patients with narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) through the degree centrality (DC) technique of resting-state magnetic resonance and the predictive value for NT1.Methods:From September 2019 to November 2021, 18 NT1 patients who were first diagnosed and never accepted managements and 18 age-, sex-matched healthy controls recruited by advertisement in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were required for resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans and clinical scale assessment, including Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale, Self-rating Depression Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Insomnia Severity Scale and Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20). The differences in DC values between the NT1 patients and healthy controls were analyzed using the DC method. Then, the correlation between DC values in differential brain regions and clinical characteristics of NT1 was explored through Pearson correlation analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of the DC values in the differential brain regions for NT1 patients.Results:Compared with the healthy controls, the DC value of the right superior temporal gyrus was increased, while the DC values of the bilateral middle frontal gyrus and the right precuneus were decreased in the NT1 patients (all P<0.05, Gaussian random-field correction). The DC value of the right superior temporal gyrus in the NT1 patients was positively correlated with the ESS score ( r=0.82, P<0.001) and MFI-20 score ( r=0.48, P=0.040). The DC value of the right middle frontal gyrus was positively correlated with the disease course ( r=0.51, P=0.032). The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of NT1 predicted by the DC value of the right superior temporal gyrus was 0.95. And the areas under the curve of non-NT1 predicted by the DC values of the left middle frontal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, and right precuneus were 0.86, 0.84 and 0.87, respectively. Conclusions:NT1 patients have abnormal resting-state DC in the default network, executive network core brain regions, and superior temporal gyrus. And the DC value in the right superior temporal gyrus may be a potential biomarker of NT1 patients.

【Objective】 To investigate the situation of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE) colonization in patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). 【Methods】 A total of 241 consecutive patients who underwent haplo-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2022 were enrolled. Anal swab screening was performed within 48 hours of admission and blood cultures were taken when the patient developed fever. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the colonization rate, distribution, risk factors and the correlation between CRE colonization and post-transplant bloodstream infection(BSI). 【Results】 Among 241 patients with haplo-HSCT, there were 90 cases in CRE colonization positive group, with a colonization rate of 37.3% (90/241). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sex (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.38-4.22, P<0.05) and history of infection within 30 days before transplantation (OR 3.37, 95% CI 1.59-7.17, P<0.05) may be independent risk factors for CRE intestinal colonization. Of the 95 CRE strains, the top five species were carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (38/95, 40.0%), carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (29/95, 30.5%), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae (13/95, 13.6%), carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella acidophilus (6/95, 6.3%) and carbapenem-resistant Proteus mirabilis (3/95, 3.1%). The incidence of post-transplant BSI was 12.0% (29/241) in the CRE-colonized group and 3.3% (8/241) in the non-colonized group. In the colonization group, 100% of the pathogens of BSI were identical with those of CRE colonization. 【Conclusion】 Bacterial culture of anal swab during haplo-HSCT is helpful for detection of CRE colonization in intestinal tract, which provides some clinical basis for active monitoring of key flora, prevention and control of infection.

Anti-neurexin-3α antibody-associated encephalitis is rare in clinical practice. It often has a history of pre-infection. It is characterized by abnormal mental behavior, seizures, decreased consciousness, cognitive and sleep disorders, movement disorder, central hypoventilation and autonomic nervous dysfunction. Among them, dyskinesias are mainly involuntary movements of the mouth, face and limbs, dystonia, myoclonic seizures and other manifestations of increased movement. Parkinson′s symptoms manifested as decreased movement are rarely reported. A encephalitis patient with positive anti-neurexin-3α antibody is reported, who is a young female, mainly with parkinsonism such as slow movement, unsteady walking, difficulty in starting and turning around, and inability to hold things in both upper limbs, accompanied by abnormal mental behavior and cognitive dysfunction. After treatment with methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin, the prognosis is good.

Autoimmune encephalitis is a group of inflammatory diseases related to autoantibodies that affect the central nervous system. Early diagnosis of patients with autoimmune encephalitis has certain difficulties, because the clinical manifestations caused by different types of autoantibodies can be non-specific, and the presence of multiple autoantibodies can cause variation and superposition of clinical manifestations. The article reported a case of autoimmune encephalitis patients with double positive anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and dipeptidyl-peptidase-like protein-6 antibodies, and reviewed relevant literature for clinical reference.

Objective:To summarize and compare the characteristics of oral microbiota in women during the preconception period and the third trimester.Methods:This retrospective cohort study involved 55 women who were recruited in the Preconceptional Offspring Trajectory Study (PLOTS) conducted by Fudan University and followed up to the third trimester in the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Jiading District of Shanghai from September 2016 to December 2019. A total of 110 unstimulated saliva samples were collected in the preconception period ( n=55) and the third trimester ( n=55). Features of oral microbiota in the samples were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene-based sequencing. Moreover, the related factors were also analyzed. Paired t test or Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test were used to analyze the differences in α-diversity during preconception and the third trimester; t test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test for comparison between groups with different characteristics and permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PerMANOVA) for β-diversity were used; Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe 1.0) was used to identify the iconic oral flora. Results:(1) The Ace index of oral microbiota was significantly lower in the third trimester than that in the preconception period [661.14(578.15-752.85) vs 730.64 (632.40-911.00), T=1 077.00, P=0.010]. There was also a significance difference in β-diversity ( F=12.539, R2=0.104, P=0.001). Some species such as Saccharibacteria_TM7_G3, Prevotella_7, Absconditabacteria_SR1_G1, Porphyromonas, Ruminococcaceae_UCG_014, Prevotella, Peptostreptococcus, Prevotella_2, Alloprevotella, Parvimonas, Solobacterium and Eubacterium_nodatum_group in saliva were statistically more abundant in the third trimester than those in the preconception period (all P<0.05). (2) The third-trimester Shannon index was lower among those with lower income [5.44 (5.08-5.77) vs 5.75 (5.44-6.12), U=219.00, P=0.029] and those with gargle habit after meal or dessert [5.36 (4.91-5.48) vs 5.72 (5.44-6.05), U=374.00, P=0.046]. Conclusions:The features of oral microbiota vary in women during the preconception period and the third trimester. There is a significant increase in the abundance of oral pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria in the third trimester.
