Objective:To investigate the risk factors of postpartum embryo residues associated with uterine arteriovenous fistula.Methods:From January 2000 to December 2020, 26 cases of postpartum embryo residue complicated with uterine arteriovenous fistula in Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected as the case group, and 32 cases of postpartum embryo residue without uterine arteriovenous fistula were selected as control group.Both the case group and the control group had embryo residue in cesarean scar.Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were used to screen the risk factors of postpartum embryo residue combined with uterine arteriovenous fistula.Results:There were 26 patients in the case group, including 3 patients after medical abortion, 17 patients after artificial abortion, 2 patients after cesarean section, and 4 patients after mid-term induced labor.There were 32 patients in the control group, including 7 patients after medical abortion, 11 patients after induced abortion, 8 patients after cesarean section, and 6 patients after mid-term induced labor.There were 11 patients in the case group and 3 patients in the control group.Univariate analysis showed that: the occurrence of postpartum embryo residue combined with uterine arteriovenous fistula was related to the time of vaginal bleeding, HCG value before and after treatment, hemoglobin value before treatment, platelet count and residual embryo area(all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the increase of hCG before treatment ( OR 20.319, 95% CI 1.348-306.187) and the decrease of hemoglobin before treatment ( OR 0.870, 95% CI 0.788-0.960) were the independent risk factors of postpartum embryo residue combined with uterine arteriovenous fistula (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The risk factors of uterine arteriovenous fistula in postpartum embryo residue patients with elevated hCG value and decreased hemoglobin value before treatment should be highly vigilant to reduce the rate of clinical missed diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the effects of bladder volumes from CT simulation on bladder volume consistency and set-up errors during radiotherapy for prostate cancer, aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for of 66 prostate cancer patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy in the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from August 2015 to November 2020. They underwent CT scan or radiotherapy after voluntarily holding in urine. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed for them to measure their set-up errors in left-right (L-R), superior-inferior (S-I), and anterior-posterior (A-P) directions before each treatment. The bladder contours of the patients were delineated on CT simulation images and CBCT images. Accordingly, bladder volumes were calculated. Based on the calculated bladder volumes derived from the CT simulation images, the patients were divided into three groups: 18 cases in the 200-300 ml group, 24 cases in the 300-400 ml group, and 24 cases in the >400 ml group. Finally, this study analyzed the effects of bladder volumes derived from CT simulation on set-up errors and the changes of CBCT-derived bladder volumes relative to planned volumes during radiotherapy.Results:The bladder volumes in the 200-300 ml, 300-400 ml, and >400 ml groups during radiotherapy were reduced by 15%, 26%, and 32%, respectively. The pairwise comparison indicates statistically significant differences in the changes of bladder volumes among the three groups ( Z=3.43, 7.97, 4.83, P<0.05). Regarding the three-dimensional set-up errors, there were statistically significant differences in S-I set-up errors among the three groups ( H=26.72, P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in L-R and A-P set-up errors ( P>0.05) among these groups. The 200-300 ml, 300-400 ml, and >400 ml groups exhibited S-I set-up errors of 0.00 (-0.20, 0.20) cm, 0.00 (-0.20, 0.30) cm, and -0.10 (-0.30, 0.20) cm, respectively. Therefore, the >400 ml group displayed larger the S-I set-up errors than other two groups, with statistically significant differences ( Z=4.17, 4.66, P< 0.05), while there was no statistically significant differences in S-I set-up errors between other two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:Controlling the bladder filling volumes at 200-300 ml in CT simulation is beneficial for maintaining bladder volume consistency and reducing set-up errors of patients during radiotherapy.

Objective:To explore the correlation between lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic indicators in a young and middle-aged population undergoing physical examination.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 8 250 individuals who underwent routine physical examinations at the Health Medical Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January to December 2021 and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected as the research subbjects. The general examination, fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, liver function, renal function, and fasting color ultrasound examination results were analyzed retrospectively to assess the correlation between lean NAFLD and major metabolic indicators using independent sample t-test, chi-square test, and multivariable logistic regression. Results:The prevalence of lean NAFLD was higher in men than in women (50.7% vs. 49.3%, χ2=97.261, P<0.001). After stratifying the age of onset of lean NAFLD, the peak age of onset was found to be between 45 and 59 years, with the prevalence gradually increasing with age. When stratified by body mass index (BMI), the peak incidence of lean NAFLD was observed in individuals with a BMI of ≥20 and <23 kg/m 2, with the prevalence showing a significant upward trend as BMI increased. The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase, and serum uric acid in lean NAFLD groupwere all significantly higher than those in lean non-NAFLD group (all P<0.01), and the level of high density lipoprotein was significantly lower than that of lean non-NAFLD group ( t=23.755, P<0.001). The logistic analysis showed that systolic blood pressure ( OR=1.258, 95% CI: 1.081-1.465), diastolic blood pressure ( OR=1.282, 95% CI: 1.056-1.557), total cholesterol ( OR=1.712, 95% CI: 1.525-1.923), triglyceride ( OR=4.115, 95% CI: 3.621-4.676), alanine aminotransferase ( OR=1.467, 95% CI: 1.104-1.950), γ-glutamyltransferase ( OR=1.482, 95% CI: 1.242-1.769), fasting blood glucose ( OR=2.479, 95% CI: 2.092-2.939) and serum uric acid ( OR=1.390, 95% CI: 1.236-1.563) were independent metabolic risk factors for lean NAFLD (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The levels of various metabolic markers in young and middle-aged patients with lean NAFLD increase, and the risk of lean NAFLD increases. Metabolic markers are helpful to screen people at risk of lean NAFLD.

Objective:To explore the application effect of intelligent referral mode in examinees with major positive results in physical examinations in a health medical center.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2022 to December 2023 with subjects receiving physical examinations. Those subjects with major positive results from January 2022 to December 2022 in the Health Medical Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were selected as the routine referral group, and those with major positive results from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected as the intelligent referral group. The routine referral group received routine health education from the chief inspector in the health medical center, suggesting them to get outpatient consultation. On the basis of ordinary referral, the intelligent referral group received health education from a referral team composed of nurses and specialists based on internet technology to digitally integrate and share patients′ medical records, examination results, imaging data and other medical information. The subects in the intelligent referral group were provided with a green channel for outpatient consultation and medical treatment immediately. The visiting rate, hospitalization rate, average visiting time, and overall satisfaction of the subjects after being notified of abnormal results were compared between the two groups. According to the positive results, the subjects were divided into four subgroups: ultrasound examination group, radiology group, clinical laboratory group and blood pressure group.Results:After the notification, there were significant differences in hospital visit rate (84.8% vs 67.2%, χ 2=168.4), hospitalization rate (48.8% vs 36.5%, χ 2=17.80), average visit time (116 min vs 301 min, Z=-15.82), and overall satisfaction score (9.70±0.62 vs 8.29±1.26, t=-33.47) between intelligent referral group and general referral group (all P<0.01). The classification statistics of major abnormal results showed that the consultation rates in subjects with ultrasound, radiology, clinical laboratory and blood pressure abnormities in the intelligent referral group were all higher than those in the general referral group (87.9% vs 70.4%, 89.9% vs 70.6%, 80.6% vs 60.2%, 57.2% vs 41.3%, respectively; χ 2=41.91, 39.37, 19.37, 6.20, all P<0.05); the hospitalization rates in subjects with ultrasound, radiology and blood pressure abnormities in the intelligent referral group were all higher than those in the general referral group (66.8% vs 64%, 55.7% vs 42.2%, 18.7% vs 11.2%, respectively; χ 2=16.86, 11.91, 8.68, all P<0.05); the mean consultation times in subjects with ultrasound, radiology and clinical laboratory abnormities in the intelligent referral group were all significantly shorter than those in the general referral group (96 min vs 308 min, 110 min vs 300 min, 122 min vs 286 min, Z=-11.38, -9.27, -7.63, all P<0.01); the overall satisfaction scores in subjects with ultrasound examination, radiology, clinical laboratory and blood pressure abnormities in the intelligent referral group were all higher than those in the general referral group (9.69±0.60 vs 8.36±1.21, 9.09±0.62 vs 8.26±1.27, 9.74±0.69 vs 8.25±1.31; 9.68±0.59 vs 8.34±1.35, respectively; t=-18.47, -18.52, -14.42, -11.77, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The application of intelligent referral mode can improve the visiting rate and hospitalization rate of examinees with major positive results of physical examination, shorten their visiting time, and thus improve their satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the effects of persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimester of pregnancy on complications and adverse outcomes of pregnancy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in 784 pregnant women including 111 cases of persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimester of pregnancy and 673 pregnant women with normal thyroid function as control group. All women were registered and delivered in the Department of Obstetrics of our hospital from April 2016 to April 2017. The complications and adverse outcomes of pregnancy in the two groups were analyzed.Results:Age, body weight before pregnancy, body mass index(BMI), 1 h plasma glucose and 2 h plasma glucose during oral glucose tolerance test in persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia group were higher than those in control group( P<0.05), with increased incidence of anemia during pregnancy( P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the incidences of gestational diabetes mellitus and gestational hypertension between the two groups( P>0.05). No significant statistical differences were found in macrosomia, stillbirth, neonatal malformation, postpartum hemorrhage, acute delivery, premature delivery, fetal intrauterine development delay, and small full-term infants between the two groups( P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age( OR=1.1, 95% CI 1.0-1.1, P=0.002) and pre-pregnancy body weight( OR=1.0, 95% CI 1.0-1.1, P=0.046) were risk factors for the occurrence of persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. Persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimesters was associated with anemia during pregnancy( OR=1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.2, P=0.024). Conclusions:Pregnant women who are older and heavier before pregnancy should pay more attention to their thyroid function. Pregnant women with persistent isolated hypothyroxinemia in the first and second trimesters should be concerned for anemia.

Objective:To provide evidence for the selection of fixation devices and CTV to PTV margins (M ptv) in precision radiotherapy for pelvic tumors by analyzing three fixation devices in precision radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Methods:From April 2015 to December 2020, 133 prostate cancer patients treated with pelvic drainage area irradiation in our center were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were fixed with 1.2m vacuum bag (n=39), 1.8m vacuum bag (n=44) and personalized prone plate by our center (n=50). Each patient was asked to complete our bowel and bladder preparation process before positioning and radiotherapy. The registration of CBCT to planned CT before each treatment adopted the same registration box and algorithm. Setup errors in the SI, LR and AP directions under qualified bowel and bladder conditions were recorded. Setup errors in three directions under three fixation devices and corresponding M ptv values were analyzed. The correlation between setup errors with age and body mass index (BMI) was analyzed. Results:Analysis of 3333 setup errors data showed: in the SI and LR directions, the mean setup errors of 1.2m vacuum bag (3.26mm, 2.34mm) were greater than those of 1.8m vacuum bag (2.51mm, P<0.001; 1.90mm, P<0.001), and personalized prone plate (3.07mm, P=0.066; 2.10 mm, P=0.009). In the AP direction, the mean setup errors of 1.2m vacuum bag (supine)(2.20mm) were smaller than those of 1.8m vacuum bag (3.33mm, P<0.001) and personalized prone plate (3.61mm, P<0.001). The setup errors of 1.8m vacuum bag in all directions were smaller than those of personalized prone plate (P≤0.028). According to Van Herk's expansion formula, the M ptv of 1.2m vacuum bag in three directions was approximately 4 mm. The M ptv of 1.8m vacuum bag and personalized prone plate in the SI and LR directions was approximately 3 mm, and more than 5 mm in the AP direction. The setup errors were not correlated with age or BMI. Conclusions:From the setup errors results of three devices, 1.8m vacuum bag is the best, followed by personalized prone plate. And supine position is better than prone position in the AP direction.
