Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment experience of pregnant women with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.Methods:From January 2005 to December 2018, a total of 12 patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection were treated in Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University. Two patients died of sudden aortic dissection rupture during emergency CTA examination. The other 10 patients underwent surgical treatment, the age was 22-40 years[mean(30.7±5.8) years], the pregnancy was 15-39 weeks[mean(28.8±6.5) weeks], two cases in the second trimester of pregnancy, seven cases in the third trimester of pregnancy and one case in puerperium. Among them, seven cases were Marfan syndrome, one case was bicuspid aortic valve malformation, two cases were complicated with pregnancy hypertension.Results:One case died during perioperative period and died of rupture of abdominal aortic dissection in twelfth day after operation. One fetus was diagnosed as stillborn before operation. Before December 2013, six patients underwent surgeries, the mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was(96.8±16.5)min, aortic occlusion time was(70.8±19.3)min, intensive care unit time was(3.4±2.3) days, ventilator-assisted mechanical ventilation time was(21.6±15.6)h. After January 2014, four patients underwent surgeries, the mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was(202.3±6.4)min, the aortic cross-blocking time was(137.5±10.3)min, circulatory arrest time was(27.3±8.8)min, intensive care unit time was(12.0±5.7) days, and the ventilator-assisted mechanical ventilation time was(40.3±24.4)h. The postoperative complications included tracheotomy in two cases, hemodialysis in one case, poor wound healing in one case. One patient who had been treated with Bentall was followed up to sixth year and died of progressive rupture of descending arch dissection. One patient was followed up to seventh year after Bentall surgery, redo Bentall and Sun’s procedure were performed because of artificial valve infection, and was discharged uneventful. No adverse cardiovascular events occurred in other patients.Conclusion:Surgical treatment should be actively considered in pregnancy complicated with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection. Multi-disciplinary team cooperation can effectively improve the safety and effect of operation.

Objective:To explore the incidence and risk factors of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA).Methods:Data of 500 patients before TJA from March 2015 to August 2016 who underwent ultrasound surveillance were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into DVT group and non-DVT group according to results of ultrasound. Parameters including demographic data, basic medical history, and surgical information and laboratory indexes were collected. Risk factors were assessed via univariate, multivariate and logistic regression analysis.Results:Preoperative DVT was detected in 23 cases (4.6%, 23/500), all of which occurred in the intermuscular vein with no symptom, and among them there were 16 cases (5.6%, 16/285) before total knee arthroplasty and 7 cases (3.3%, 7/215) before total hip arthroplasty. Univariate analysis showed that age ( t=2.266, P=0.024), female patients ( χ2=4.028, P=0.045), history of hypertension ( χ2=7.907, P=0.005), D-dimer ≥0.5 μg/ml ( χ2=13.171, P < 0.001) were significantly higher than those in non-DVT group, and the differences were statistically significant. Multivariate analysis showed that D-dimer ≥0.5 μg/ml [ OR=6.655, 95% CI (1.929, 22.960), P=0.003] and history of hypertension [ OR=2.715, 95% CI (1.017, 7.250), P=0.046] were independent risk factors for preoperative DVT. Among them, the thrombus of 14 cases located in the operation side, 6 cases in non-operation side, and 3 cases in bilateral sides. Postoperative ultrasound showed that newly DVT occurred in 9 patients of whom 5 cases located in the contralateral muscular veins and 4 cases in the nearby muscular veins. After discharge, 22 patients (95.7%) with preoperative DVT were further evaluated by ultrasound. The average follow-up time was 3.0 months (range from 6 weeks to 9 months). The results showed that thrombus of 7 cases were completely dissolved, 13 cases were partially dissolved, and 2 cases remained unchanged. Thrombus extensions to proximal veins or symptomatic PE were not found. Conclusion:The incidence of preoperative DVT in patients with elective joint replacement was about 4.6%, among which D-dimer ≥0.5 μg/ml and history of hypertension were the risk factors for preoperative thrombosis.

Objective:To study the effect of resveratrol (RES) on interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced chondrocytes and its pathways of action.Methods:Wistar mammary rat chondrocytes were extracted and divided into 5 groups: control group, IL-1β group, RES+IL-1β group, RES+IL-1β+EX-527 [silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) inhibitor] group and RES+IL-1β+AS [frame transcription factor O1 (FOXO1) inhibitor] group. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect SIRT1, forkhead FOXO1 and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) mRNA expression. Protein expression of chondrocyte type Ⅱ collagen (Col-Ⅱ) detected by immunofluorescence, and the expression of chondrocyte SIRT1 and p-FOXO1/FOXO1 was measured by Western blot. The expression of chondrocyte inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed and two-way comparisons between groups were made using the least significant difference (LSD) method. P< 0.001 was statistically significant. Results:Compared to normal chondrocytes, the mRNA and protein expressions of Col-Ⅱ, SIRT1, FOXO1 and p-FOXO1/FOXO1 in chondrocytes induced by IL-1β was significantly decreased ( P<0.001). The secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α [(24.70±2.84), t=19.24, P<0.001] and IL-6 [(3.35±0.28), t=12.97, P<0.001] was significantly increased, and the mRNA expression of MMP-3 [(2.46± 0.23), t=12.61, P<0.001] was significantly increased. The mRNA and protein expressions of Col-Ⅱ, SIRT1, FOXO1 and p-FOXO1/FOXO1 were significantly increased. The secretion of TNF-α [(12.60±1.05), t=10.14, P<0.001] and IL-6 [(2.00±0.15), t=9.89, P<0.001] was significantly reduced by RES treated IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. mRNA expression of MMP-3 [(1.30±0.14), t=10.460, P<0.001] was decreased. After adding SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527 or FOXO1 inhibitor AS, RES significantly reduced the mRNA and protein expression of Col-Ⅱ, SIRT1, FOXO1 and p-FOXO1/FOXO1 in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes ( P<0.001). The secretion of TNFα and IL-6 was significantly decreased ( P<0.001), and the mRNA expression of MMP-3 was significantly decreased ( P<0.001). Conclusion:RES significantly ameliorates IL-1β-induced cartilage extracellular matrix egradation and inflammatory responses via the SIRT1/FOXO1 pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effect of water-fat separation (Dixon) and spectrally selective attenuated inversion recovery (SPAIR) on fat suppression in the neck.Methods:From June to December 2018, 35 patients, including 16 males and 19 females, aged 23-75 (46±13) years old underwent MRI examinations of cervical vertebrae in Sir Run Run Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University. The imaging data of Dixon and SPAIR fat suppression scanning were prospectively collected. The scanning sequences included Dixon VIBE-T 1WI, SPAIR VIBE-T 1WI, Dixon TSE-T 2WI and SPAIR TSE-T 2WI. According to the subjective evaluation, the quality of fat suppression was divided into 0-4 grades. The cases with clear depiction of the thyroid tissue on Dixon or SPAIR were counted. Fisher exact test and paired t test or rank sum test were used to compare the noise, SNR and CNR of mandible angle, glottis, thyroid and sternoclavicular joint. Results:There were 29 cases of grade 0, 4 cases of grade 1, 2 cases of grade 2 on Dixon VIBE-T 1WI, 4 cases of grade 3 and 31 cases of grade 4 on SPAIR VIBE-T 1WI group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); 28 cases of grade 0, 5 cases of grade 1 and 2 cases of grade 2 on Dixon TSE-T 2WI, 33 cases of grade 3 and 4 on SPAIR TSE-T 2WI, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were 35 cases with clear depiction of the thyroid tissues on DIXON and 4 cases on SPAIR VIBE-T 1WI ( P<0.05); there were 35 cases on DIXON and 3 cases on SPAIR TSE-T 2WI ( P<0.05). At the level of mandible angle, for the SNR of sternocleidomastoid muscle, SNR and CNR of splenius capitis muscle on VIBE-T 1WI, Dixon images were better than those on SPAIR images, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); the noise, SNR of sternocleidomastoid and splenius capitis muscle on TSE-T 2WI images were more than those in SPAIR images, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the level of glottis, the SNR of sternocleidomastoid muscle and levator scapulae muscle in the sequence of VIBE-T 1WI and Dixon images were significantly higher than those on the images of SPAIR ( P<0.05); the noise and SNR of sternocleidomastoid muscle on Dixon TSE-T 2WI images were significantly higher than those on the images of SPAIR ( P<0.05). At the thyroid level, the noise of Dixon VIBE-T 1WI image was less than that of SPAIR image, the SNR of sternocleidomastoid muscle and levator scapulae muscle on Dixon images was greater than that of SPAIR image, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); For TSE-T 2WI sequence, the SNR of sternocleidomastoid muscle on Dixon image was greater than that on SPAIR image, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the level of sternoclavicular joint, there were no significant differences for noise, SNR and CNR between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Dixon outperforms SPAIR in obtaining better image quality and suppression effect in terms of neck MRI scanning.

Objective:To investigate the status quo and related issues of reception of pediatric patients by general practitioners in community health centers in Longhua District of Shenzhen through qualitative and quantitative studies.Methods:In qualitative study, 10 general practitioners (GPs) from community health centers in Longhua District of Shenzhen were selected by the purpose sampling method for personal in-depth interviews. The interview contents were recorded and transcribed, then coded by Nvivo software. Theme frame analysis method was used for data sorting and theme extraction. Based on the results of qualitative interviews, the questionnaire was developed and distributed through the electronic questionnaire platform. The contents of the questionnaire included general information, the situation of pediatric patient reception in community health centers, the willingness and ability of GPs to receive children, the existing problems and the measures to promote receiving pediatric patients in community health centers.Results:The results of personal in-depth interviews with 10 GPs showed that the obtained information reached saturation. Through repeated reading, induction and analysis of the interview data, four themes were extracted: ① GPs in community health centers received a large number of pediatric outpatients with common diseases; ② GPs in community health centers are willing to receive child patients, but they were lack of ability; ③ there were many problems of pediatric patients reception in community health centers; ④ training and incentive policies would help to promote child patient reception in community health centers. A total of 223 electronic questionnaires were collected, 219 of which were valid for analysis. All the community health centers in Longhua District received pediatric patients, the number accounted for 20%-60% of the total outpatients; 84.5%(185/219)of the responders were willing to receive child patients, 65.8% (144/219)of them assumed that the consulting ability was average. The main problems for GPs to receive pediatric patients were "insufficient training" (76.7%,168/219) and "lack of consulting ability" (55.3%,121/219). The important measures to promote GPs to receive child patients were to improve their own clinical competence (94.1%,206/219), to have clinical faculty with pediatric background mentoring at the community health center (74.9%,164/219), to improve the supporting facilities (42.9%,94/219) and continuous professional support (38.8%,85/219).Conclusion:The status quo of pediatric patient reception in the community of Shenzhen Longhua District is generally satisfactory. The main problems in this aspect are insufficient training for general practitioners and lack of clinical competence, which should be strengthened and improved in the future.
