Objective To explore the diagnostic value of MRI on fetal congenital limb deformities.Methods Sixteen pregnant women,aged from 22 to 40 years (average 29 years) and with gestation from 22 to 39 weeks (average 29 weeks) were studied with a 1.5 T superconductive MR unit within 24 to 48 hours after ultrasound studies. Acquisitions consisted of coronal, sagittal, and axial slices relative to the fetal brain, spine, thorax, abdomen, especially limbs using 2D FIESTA sequences. Prenatal US and MR imaging findings were compared with postnatal diagnoses (4 fetuses) or autopsy (12 pregnant women,13 fetuses). Postnatal evaluation included US, MR imaging, computed tomography, and physical examination. Results Of the sixteen pregnant women (15 with a single fetus and 1 with twin fetuses) ,17 fetuses were found. Those limb deformities of sixteen pregnant women included congenital both upper extremities amelia (1 case), sirenomelia sequence (1 case), micmmelia (5 cases, 1 of which were twins),bilateral clenched hands (2 cases), right pelydactyly (1 case), simple right ectrodactyly (1 case), right dactylolysis(1 case), simple club foot (2 cases), hydrocele spinalis with club foot (2 cases), 1 of the 2 cases with bilateral clinodactyly. In 14 of 16 cases, the diagnoses established by MR imaging were correct when compared with postnatal diagnosis, and prenatal MR diagnosis was inaccurate in 2 cases. Conclusion Prenatal MRI is effective in the assessment of congenital limb deformities of fetuses, it can yield information additional to that obtained with US, and further correct US diagnosis.

Objective To investigate adverse events report intent and its influencing factors in clinical nurses. Methods Questionnaire investigation was conducted among 917 clinical nurses from ten hospitals in Tai'an city using the Intent to Report Questionnaire. Results The score of clinical nurses adverse events report intent was 36.80 ± 19.71. The score of each dimension in descending order were:nurses operation adverse events, system process adverse events, and patient care adverse events. Hospital levels were significant influencing factors of clinical nurses adverse events report intent. Pressure sores were the most frequently reported, and report of patient injury caused by unreasonable nurse manpower allocation was the lowest frequency. Conclusions The level of clinical nurses adverse events report intent need to be improved. Nursing managers should pay attention to improve nurse reporting adverse event in order to better promote the safety of patients and reduce occurrence of adverse event.

Tumor cells can metabolize glucose through glycolysis to intermediates for biomacromolecule synthesis by inhibiting the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) in mitochondria. In this process, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDKs) play a key role. The inhibition of the activity of PDKs can effectively block this metabolic pathway, activate mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, and induce tumor cell apoptosis. PDK inhibitors have become a research hotspot in medicinal chemistry, and novel structures targeting classical binding sites have been synthesized. In this paper, recent research progress on PDK inhibitors is reviewed to provide information on these latest entities and to explore their clinical applicability.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of ketosis-associated prurigo pigmentosa after ketogenic diet and bariatric surgery.Methods:Clinical data were collected from patients with ketosis-associated prurigo pigmentosa, who were diagnosed and treated in Department of Dermatology, Peking University People′s Hospital from September 2018 to September 2020. The clinical characteristics, sequelae and therapeutic effect of dietary modification were analyzed and summarized.Results:A total of 6 patients with ketosis-associated prurigo pigmentosa were collected, including 5 females who developed prurigo pigmentosa after ketogenic diet, and 1 male who developed prurigo pigmentosa after bariatric surgery. The skin lesions mainly involved the chest, back, waist and abdomen, and rarely involved the eyelids, axillae, elbows and mons pubis. Common skin lesions included urticaria-like erythema, papules and pigmentation arranged in a reticular distribution, and rare skin lesions included mung bean- to soybean-sized blisters, whose walls were liable to break. Among 5 patients undergoing routine urine analysis, 4 were positive (from + to ++++) for ketone bodies in the urine, and 3 were positive for urinary protein (+) . Pathological examination in 2 patients showed epidermal spongiosis, scattered necrotic keratinocytes, basal cell liquefaction, lymphocyte infiltration in the superficial dermis, and erythrocyte extravasation. The 6 patients were advised to eat staple foods. After dietary modification, 5 patients were nearly cured within 1 week; 1 patient, who continued ketogenic diet for weight loss, still received marked improvement after the treatment with minocycline at a dose of 100 mg/d in spite of restriction of carbohydrate intake. The levels of urinary ketone bodies and urinary protein in the 6 patients all returned to normal within 1 week after treatment.Conclusions:Ketosis plays an important role in the occurrence of prurigo pigmentosa. Dietary modification alone or adjuvant medical treatment such as minocycline is effective for the treatment of ketosis-related prurigo pigmentosa.

Objective To investigate the expressions of guanylyl cyclase-c(GC-C) and caudal-type homeobox transcription factor 2 (CDX2) in human gastric tissues and precursor lesions and its significance. Methods The cancerous and paracancerous (5 cm from cancer lesion )samples from 30 cases of gastric cancer and 32 samples including 23 intestinal metaplasia and 9 dysplasia were collected. The mRNA expressions of GC-C and CDX-2 were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and proteins of GC-C and CDX-2 were measured by using Western blot and immunofluorescence methods. Results The mRNA expressions of GC-C and CDX-2 were absent in paracancerous tissues, but were 66.7% and 63.3% in cancerous tissues, respectively(P=0. 000). The Western blot indicated that expressions of GC-C and CDX-2 were 19/30 and 17/30 in cancerous tissues, but absent in paracancerous tissues(P=0. 000). The immunofluorescence examination revealed that GC-C and CDX-2 expressions were 39.1% and 39.1% in intestinal metaplasia, 55.6% and 55.6% in dysplasia, and 56.7% and 60.0% in cancerous tissues, respectively, but absent in paracancerous tissues. Moreover, expressions of GC-C and CDX-2 showed a statistical difference between intestinal-type and diffuse-type of gastric cancer (P＜ 0.05) ,but had no correlation with age, sex, size of the lesion, clinical stage and lymphnode metastasis. The positive correlation was found in expressions of GC-C and CDX2 between intestinal metaplasia and cancerous tissues(r=0. 4524 and 0. 3845, P= 0. 037 and 0. 0408, respectively). Conclusions The over expressions of GC-C and CDX2 in human gastric cancer is associated with precursor lesions and may play an important role in the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer. The examination of GC-C and CDX2 expressions will be helpful in diagnosing gastric cancer and precursor lesions.

Objective: To establish a multiplex PCR-microarray method for detecting important enteropahogens.Methods: Uniplex and multiplex PCR were performed to obtain the best primer sets for identifying the target bacteria at species and multi-species level.Fluorescent dyes were mixed into PCR reaction to determine whether it can affect the efficiency of amplification.To improve the efficiency of microarray,a 35 pairs primer-labeling system was optimized based on the hybridization results to find the best combination to avoid false negative results.Results: Specific PCR products were all obtained using species-specific primer sets.More preferential amplification may happen when more primer pairs were added to the reaction.The hybridization results showed a positive association between the efficiency of multiplex-PCR and signal intensity.Conventional PCR yielded more products than fluorescent dyes labeled PCR.Thirty-five primers were divided into three different combinations to label target respectively,hybridization results showed a high specificity.Conclusion: Mixing fluorescent dyes into PCR may reduce the efficiency of amplification and hybridization,but may have no effect on the analysis of hybridization results.The hybridization efficiency of microarray depends on the amplification efficiency of multiplex PCR.For microarray target labeling,three primer sets could be used to avoid negative hybridization led by preferential amplification of multiplex-PCR.It indicates that the multiplex PCR-microarray method is an attractive diagnosis tool for the high-throughput identification of enteropathogenic organisms especially for multiple causative agents and epidemiological investigations.

Objective To investigate changes of GP73 after hepatectomy and its correlations with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence. Methods Perioperative serum GP73 was monitored in hepatic hemangioma and HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy. Clinicopathologic features and follow-up results were collected to evaluate the relationship between serum GP73 level and patients' prognosis.Results There was no statistical difference between preoperative GP73 and postoperative GP73 in hepatic hemangioma group.While preoperative GP73 in HCC group was 9.9(3.7 - 15.8) relative unit (RU),and that on POD3 (postoperative day 3 ) was 9.1 ( 3.4 - 13.3 ) RU,on POD7 was 74.3 ( 1.7 - 9.0) RU,on POD14 was 3.3(2.1 -5.4) RU ( F =72.606,P ＜ 0.001 ).HCC recurred in 21 cases during follow-up,GP73 in recurrent cases [ 11.0 (8.4 - 13.8 ) RU ] was significantly higher than postoperative trough values while it was not different from their preoperative GP73 level [ 9.9 ( 2.9 - 15.0) RU ] ( Z =1.185,P ＞0.05). The preoperative GP73 level between recurrent subgroup and nonrecurrent subgroup was not significantly different (Z =- 1.546,P ＞ 0.05 ).Preoperative GP73 did not correlate to patients' survival.Conclusions Hepatectomy for HCC leads to a significant decrease of GP73 and postoperative HCC recurrence accompanies reelevation of GP73. GP73 could be used as a postoperative monitor for HCC recurrence.
