Objective To investigate the application value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in monitoring the response to chemotherapy of primary bone lymphoma(PBL). Methods Sixteen consecutive patients with PBL confirmed by pathology were enrolled in this retrospective study.All patients underwent a controlled MRI including a DWI sequence before chemotherapy and after the first chemotherapy session. The ADC values of PBL lesions were measured before and after the first chemotherapy session. All patients were divided into responders and non-responders groups according to the combined response assessment criteria. The difference in ADC values between the responders and non-responders groups before and after chemotherapy and the rate of change of ADC values were compared using Wilcoxon test. The paired t test was used to compare ADC values before and after chemotherapy in each group. Results Twenty-three cases of PBL lesions were diagnosed in 16 patients before the chemotherapy. After the first chemotherapy session, 10 patients (12 lesions) and 6 patients (11 lesions) were categorized into the responder and non-responder group, respectively. The mean pre-treatment ADC value of the responder group and non-responder group were 737.1(301.7,928.4)× 10-6mm2/s and 749.2(624.4, 1186.5)× 10-6mm2/s, which had no statistically significant difference (Z=1.51,P=0.132). The mean post-treatment ADC value of the responder group and non-responder group were 1843.0(721.5,2745.8)× 10-6mm2/s and 1026.3(382.8,2100.8)× 10-6mm2/s, which had no statistically significant difference (Z=-1.75,P=0.079). The post-treatment ADC value of the responder group significantly increased [156.7(60.9,227.5)%] while the post-treatment ADC value of the non-responder group slightly increased [31.7(-44.7,147.4)%]. The difference in the percentage changes of ADC values in the responder and non-responder groups before and after the treatment was statistically significant(Z=-3.66,P<0.001). Conclusion The measurement of the percentage changes of ADC values enable a good short-term response evaluation for PBL.

Objective:To summarize the clinical and genetic features of 7 patients with a mild form of Geleophysic dysplasia type 2(GD2)/Acromicric dysplasia(AD) induced by fibrillin 1(FBN1) gene mutation from one Chinese family.Methods:A Chinese pedigree of mild GD2/AD treated at the Pediatric Endocrinology Department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between August 2017 and May 2022 was collected. Whole-exome genetic sequencing of the FBN1 gene were performed to establish the diagnosis. Additionally, a literature review was further conducted.Results:In this family, among 13 individuals spanning three generations, there were 7 affected cases, including 1 adult female, 1 adult male, and 5 children. All individuals exhibited postnatal growth failure, severe disproportionate short stature, and lacked typical facial features. Exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing confirmed the presence of a heterozygous missense mutation c. 5099A>G(p.Tyr1700Cys) in exon 42 of the FBNI gene in 6 affected individuals(Ⅱ-1, Ⅲ-1 to Ⅲ-5), which was identified as a pathogenic mutation. This mutation was previously reported in a Chinese classical achondroplasia(AD) family. Based on comprehensive genetic analysis, clinical features, and multisystem evaluation, 3 cases were diagnosed with mild type 2 growth hormone deficiency(GD2), and 4 cases were diagnosed with mild AD. Recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH; 1.1-1.4 IU·kg -1·week -1) was applied to all the 5 children, and additional gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue(GnRHa) was administered to the 2 girls in late puberty, resulting in certain growth-promoting effect. Conclusions:The c. 5099A>G(p.Tyr1700Cys) mutation not only leads to the classical type of achondroplasia(AD) as reported in the literature but also causes the non-classical GD2 or AD(mild GD2/AD). Further research is warranted to investigate the long-term therapeutic effects of rhGH treatment.

Objective? To explore the intervention effects of health education based on precede-proceed model on preventing recurrence in patients with upper urinary calculi. Methods? Totally 110 patients with upper urinary calculi admitted in Lanzhou Military Region General Hospital between January and June 2017 using convenient sampling and divided into the treatment group (n=55) and the control group (n=55) according to the random number table. Patients in the control group received conventional health education, while patients in the treatment group received health education based on precede-proceed model on this basis. Disease-related knowledge scores, health behavior scores and recurrence of disease 12 months after discharge were compared between the two groups. Results? The calculi-related knowledge score and the health behavior score of the treatment group 12 months after discharge were (13.0±1.7) and (127.5±14.8), higher than those of the control group, which were (11.9±1.9) and (120.7±14.3), and there were statistically significant differences (t=-4.940,-2.377; P<0.05). The recurrence rate of calculi of the treatment group 12 months after discharge was 1.9%, while that of the control group was 12.0%, and there was statistically significant difference (χ2=4.050, P<0.05). Conclusions? Health education based on precede-proceed model can improve the knowledge level of patients with upper urinary calculi, facilitate their health behavior, and reduce the recurrence rate of calculi.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio (AFR) for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in infants with ventricular septal defect repair under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on infants diagnosed with ventricular septal defect in Anhui Children's Hospital from January 2019 to July 2023. The infants were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to whether AKI occurred in hospital after operation. Demographic data, preoperative data, intraoperative data, postoperative data and laboratory results during CPB were collected. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to find the factors of AKI after ventricular septal defect repair with CPB. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to analyze the predictive value of AFR for postoperative AKI after ventricular septal defect repair with CPB.Results:A total of 215 children were collected, including 28 in AKI group and 187 in non-AKI group. There were no significant differences in age, gender, body weight, height, history of pneumonia and history of chronic heart failure between the two groups, but the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the AKI group was significantly lower than that in the non-AKI group (0.526±0.028 vs. 0.538±0.030, P = 0.048). The duration of CPB (minutes: 74.1±12.1 vs. 65.8±11.3, P < 0.001), aortic cross-clamping (minutes: 41.7±9.7 vs. 37.2±9.4, P = 0.021) and hypothermic circulation arrest (21.4% vs. 8.6%, P = 0.047) in AKI group were significantly higher than those in non-AKI group, but there were no significant differences in the proportion of ultrafiltration and urine volume between the two groups. The length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay in AKI group was significantly longer than that in non-AKI group (days: 5.3±2.0 vs. 4.0±1.7, P < 0.001), but there were no significant differences in duration of mechanical ventilation and the proportion of postoperative hypotension between the two groups. During CPB, the levels of blood glucose (mmol/L: 9.4±1.3 vs. 8.8±0.8, P < 0.001), blood lactic acid (mmol/L: 2.2±0.3 vs. 2.0±0.3, P = 0.015) and serum creatinine (μmol/L: 79.7±11.5 vs. 74.4±10.9, P = 0.018) in AKI group were significantly higher than those in non-AKI group, while the AFR was significantly lower than that in non-AKI group (8.5±1.3 vs. 10.2±1.6, P < 0.001), but there were no significant differences in the levels of hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase between the two groups during CPB. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that AFR was a protective factor for AKI after ventricular septal defect repair with CPB [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.439, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.288-0.669, P < 0.001]. Blood glucose ( OR = 2.133, 95% CI was 1.239-3.672, P = 0.006) and blood lactic acid ( OR = 5.568, 95% CI was 1.102-28.149, P = 0.038) were risk factors for AKI after ventricular septal defect repair with CPB. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of AFR in predicting AKI after ventricular septal defect repair with CPB was 0.804 (95% CI was 0.712-0.897, P < 0.001). When the optimal cut-off value was less than 9.05, the corresponding sensitivity was 75.0% and the specificity was 72.7%. Conclusions:Low AFR (≤9.05) during CPB is an independent risk factor for AKI after ventricular septal defect repair with CPB. AFR during CPB has a high predictive value for postoperative AKI after ventricular septal defect repair with CPB.
