Objective To study whether prostaglandin E1 (LipoPGE1) could prevent contrast medium-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) plus diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM).Methods Total 198 CHD patients with DM received coronary angiography (CAG) or PCI were randomly divided into PGE1 group and control group.All patients received routine treatment,and the PGE1 group also received 20 ml normal saline and 20 μg PGE1 (intravenous injection,1 time/d) for 10 days.The rate of CIN and the level of serum urea nitrogen (BUN),creatinine (Scr),cystatin C (Cys C) were measured before and 48 hours and 5 days after contrastmedium administration.Results The level of Scr,BUN and Cys C were lower in PGE1 group [(113.92±54.89)μmmol/ L,(7.85±4.05)mmol/L,(1.38±0.34)mg/L]for 48 hours and[(86.72±35.26)μmmol/L,(6.61 ± 3.09 ) mmol/L,( 1.29 ± 0.29) mg/L]for 5 days than in control group [(129.22±50.18)μmmol/L,(9.26±3.95)mmol/L,(1.56±0.23)mg/L]for 48 hours and[(109.83+31.76)μmmol/ L,(8.07±3.11)mmol/L,(1.37±0.21)mg/L]for 5 days (all P＜0.05).The dose of contrast-medium was positively correlated with the level of Scr and BUN (r=0.74,P＜0.05 and r =0.82,P＜0.01,respectively).The patients' renal function in the PGE1 group was better than in control group after contrast-medium administration (P ＜0.05).BUN and Scr were positively correlated with the volume of contrast-medium (r=0.74,P＜0.05,r=0.82,P＜0.01).Conclusions PGE1 may prevent contrast medium-induced nephropathy in patients with CHD combined with DM.

Background/Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may contribute to the development of hematologic malignancies. In this study, the potential relationship between IBD and hematologic malignancies was investigated. Methods: We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for all cohort studies comparing the incidence of hematologic malignancies in non-IBD populations with that in IBD patients, and we extracted relevant data from January 2000 to June 2023 for meta-analysis. Results: Twenty cohort studies involving 756,377 participants were included in this study. The results showed that compared with the non-IBD cohort, the incidence of hematologic malignancies in the IBD cohort was higher (standardized incidence ratio [SIR]=3.05, p<0.001). According to the specific types of IBD, compared with the non-IBD patients, the incidences of hematologic malignancies in ulcerative colitis patients (SIR=2.29, p=0.05) and Crohn's disease patients (SIR=3.56, p=0.005) were all higher. In the subgroup analysis of hematologic malignancy types, compared with the control group, the incidences of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (SIR=1.70, p=0.01), Hodgkin's lymphoma (SIR=3.47, p=0.002), and leukemia (SIR=3.69, p<0.001) were all higher in the IBD cohort. Conclusions The incidence of hematologic malignancies, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and leukemia is higher in patients with IBD (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) than in non-IBD patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the application of Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System Ultrasound (O-RADS US) combined with MV-Flow (Samsung Medison Co., Ltd.) to diagnose ovarian-adnexal masses. Methods: A total of 112 ovarian-adnexal masses (81 benign and 31 malignant) from 105 consecutive patients were analyzed. The O-RADS US and vascular index from MV-Flow (VIMV) were measured and compared with the reference standard. O-RADS US and MV-Flow were tested for consistency. Results: Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn for O-RADS US, MV-Flow, and their combination. The combined methods had the largest area under the curve (0.955), followed by O-RADS US (0.929) and MV-Flow (0.923). A mass was considered malignant when the O-RADS US classification was 5 and VIMV was ≥7.15. With this definition, MV-Flow had the highest sensitivity (87.10%), with consistent findings for the combined diagnostic methods and O-RADS US (83.87%). The specificity of the combined diagnostic methods (93.83%) was higher than that of MV-Flow (91.36%). O-RADS US had the lowest specificity (90.12%). The combined diagnostic methods had the highest coincidence rate (91.07%), and MV-Flow (90.18%) had a significantly higher coincidence rate than O-RADS US (88.39%). Both O-RADS US and MV-Flow showed good consistency among different physicians (former kappa, 0.974; latter intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC], 0.986). MV-Flow had a high consistency for the same physician (ICC, 1). Conclusion O-RADS US and MV-Flow exhibited good diagnostic efficacy, and their combined diagnostic efficacy was higher than that of each individually. O-RADS US and MV-Flow can improve the diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal masses.
