OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of arginine-enriched total parenteral nutrition(TPN)on the nutritional and immune parameters of patients undergoing abdominal surgery.METHODS:67 patients undergoing abdominal surgery were randomly assigned to receive routine TPN(control group,n=24),TPN plus 15 g arginine(n=25,trial group Ⅰ)or TPN plus 30 g arginine(n=18,trial group Ⅱ)for 3 days postoperatively.RESULTS:Arginene-enriched TPN significantly improved postoperative nitrogen balance,promoted the recovery of plasma-albumin and total protein,and elevated the levels of CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+,but no significant difference was noted for immunoglobulin,complement C3 and complement C4 during trial period.CONCLUSION:Arginene-enriched TPN can improve patients' postoperative nutritional and immune parameters and enhance the efficacy of TPN support.

Purpose To investigate the histopathological features of cystic lung diseases ( CLD) , and to discuss the timing of clinical interventions. Methods HE and immunohistochemical staining were performed and reviewed in 125 cases of CLD. Results 125 ca-ses of CLD aged from birth to 11 years and 6 month, with an average age of 23. 0 months, median age 15 months, of which 60 cases were less than 1 year (48. 0%). 75 cases were male and 50 cases female, with male to female ratio of 1. 5 ∶ 1. Grossly, 50 cases showed single or multiple cysts with the size 0. 5 ~8. 0 cm in diameter, which did not communicate with bronchial cavity. 18 cases showed honeycomb cysts with the diameter of 0. 1~2. 0 cm. 26 cases were solid lesions without visible cysts. 21 cases were observed lung abscess with thick and rough wall and pus inside. 7 cases of emphysema showed microcysts with crepitation. 2 cases were identi-fied cystic and solid masses, with fish-fresh like cut surface. Histopathologically, 94 cases (75. 2%) were related to congenital bron-chopulmonary dysplasia in 125 cases of CLD, in which there were 59 patients (47. 2%) of congenial pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), including 29 cases of type 1 (49. 2%), 18 cases of type 2 (30. 5%), and 12 cases of type 4 (20. 3%), there were 26 ca-ses (20. 8%) of pulmonary sequestration, including 15 cases of intralobar type (57. 7%) and 11 of extralobar cases (42. 3%), 5 ca-ses were complicated with CPAM type 2, 8 cases were bronchial cyst (6. 4%) and 1 case of enteric cyst (0. 8%). Acquired lesions were detected in 31 cases (24. 8%), including 21 cases of infected lung abscess, 1 case of fungal abscess. 7 cases of emphysema, and 3 cases of pleuralpulmonary blastoma (typeⅠ1 case and typeⅡ2 cases). Conclusion Pediatric CLD is characterized as com-plexed categories. The prognosis depends on correct pathological diagnosis, combined with imaging evaluation and appropriate timing of surgery.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and related abnormal indicators among taxi drivers in Shenzhen, China, and to provide a basis for scientific prevention and treatment of fatty liver disease. MethodsA total of 1752 taxi drivers who underwent physical examination in Shenzhen Longhua District People’s Hospital from May 2018 to June 2019 were selected, and related indicators were measured, including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and uric acid (UA). Liver ultrasound examination was also performed. The association between the prevalence rate of NAFLD and various biochemical parameters was analyzed. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsThe prevalence rate of NAFLD among the taxi drivers was 51.66% (905/1752), and male drivers had a significantly higher prevalence rate than female drivers［57.94% (770/1329) vs 31.91% (135/423), χ2=9.209, P=0.027］. The taxi drivers with NAFLD had significantly higher abnormal rates of BMI, blood lipids, blood pressure, FPG, and UA than those without NAFLD (χ2=5.894, 7.126, 8.045, 8.909, and 10.373, P=0.047, 0.035, 0.030, 0.028, and 0.018). The taxi drivers with a BMI of ≥28 kg/m2 had a significantly higher prevalence rate of NAFLD than those with a BMI of 24.0-27.9 kg/m2 or a BMI of ＜24 kg/m2 (male: χ2=7.904 and 18.624, P=0.035 and 0.008; female: χ2=8.613 and 31.635, P=0.029 and 0.006). The taxi drivers with working years of ＞15 years had a significantly higher prevalence rate of NAFLD than those with working years of 11-15 years, 5-10 years, and ＜5 years (male: χ2=9.781, 13.546, and 18.052, P=0.024, 0.012, and 0.008; female: χ2=7.052, 9.847, and 12.157, P=0.036, 0.023, and 0.016). ConclusionThere is a high prevalence rate of NAFLD among taxi drivers in Shenzhen, and male drivers have a higher prevalence rate than female drivers. The prevalence rate of NAFLD is associated with the abnormal rates of hyperlipidemia, obesity, hyperglycemia, and hyperuricemia and the working years in driving.

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinical and pathological features of lung lesions in children.

METHODSClinical manifestations, radiologic imaging, histopathological features and immunohistochemical results were analyzed in 215 cases of lung lesions in children.

RESULTSA total of 215 cases of lung lesions in children aged 0 day to 13 years (average age of 27.2 months and the median age of 18.0 months) were selected, including 137 male and 78 female patients with a male to female ratio of 1.76:1.00. The incidence of congenital lung disease was higher in patients of less than 1 year old than those of over 1 year old age, and the difference of the two groups was statistically significant (P = 0.004). 142 cases had acquired lung diseases, and 73 cases had congenital bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Lung abscess was the most common lesion seen in 86 cases (40.0%), including 1 case of fungal abscess. Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) was the second most common, seen in 44 patients (20.5%), including 20 cases of type 1, 18 cases of type 2 and 6 cases of type 4 CPAM. Pulmonary sequestration was found in 25 cases (11.6%) including 14 cases of intralobar type and 11 cases of extralobar type. Two cases of extralobar pulmonary sequestration showed simultaneous CPAM2 type 2 lesion. Other lesions included tuberculosis (13 cases, 6.0%), emphysema (12 cases, 5.6%), interstitial pneumonia (7 cases, 3.2%), pulmonary hemorrhage (6 cases, 2.8%), bronchogenic cyst (4 cases, 1.9%), bronchiolitis obliterans (2 cases, 0.9%), idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderin deposition disease (2 cases, 0.9%) and 1 cases of lung non-specific changes. 13 cases of neoplastic lesions (6.0%) were found, of which 11 cases were primary tumors (5.1%), including inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in 5 patients (2.3%), pleuropulmonary blastoma in 5 cases (1 case of type I, 2 type II and 2 type III) and 1 case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (0.5%) and 2 cases of metastatic tumors (hepatoblastoma and Wilm's tumor, 0.9%).

CONCLUSIONSInfectious diseases are the most common lung diseases in children. Congenital bronchopulmonary dysplasia is the most common in children of less than 1 year old. Malignant lesions are rare.

Objective: To investigate the pathologic features of gonadal tissues of disorders of sexual development (DSD) in children. Methods: Fifty-three cases of gonadal developmental disorders were collected from July 2015 to August 2017 at Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center. Clinical manifestations, karyotypes, sex hormone levels, ultrasound imaging, histology and immunophenotype of gonadal tissues were analyzed. Results: The age of patients ranged from 7 months to 17 years with an average of (50.7 ± 47.1) months. Social genders of the patients included 32 males and 21 females. Forty-eight patients had abnormal sex hormone levels. Clinical presentations included: toward female genitalia in 25 cases, male genitalia tendency in 17 cases and ambiguous external genitalia in 11 cases. Hypospadias was seen in 31 cases and short stature was seen in 8 cases. Chromosomal karyotyping of peripheral blood revealed 23 cases of sex chromosome disorders, 22 cases of 46 XY disorders, of which 3 cases were 5α-reductase deficiency and 8 cases of 46 XX disorders. Ultrasound examination showed cryptorchidism in 30 cases, including 16 cases of unilateral, 14 cases of bilateral and 1 case presenting a huge pelvic tumor. A total of 97 gonadal tissues from 53 cases of DSD were examined, including 9 cases of unilateral and 44 cases of bilateral gonads. Microscopically, 55 gonads (56.7%) showed dysplastic testes including 17 unilateral and 19 bilateral gonads. Fourteen were streak gonads (14.4%) including 8 unilateral and 3 bilateral gonadal tissues. Nine streak gonad with epithelial cord-like structures (9.3%) were found, of which 5 were unilateral and 2 were bilateral lesions. Seven gonads were ovotestis (7.2%), unilateral in 5 cases (the other side of the gonads of ovary in 4 cases, 1 case of dysplastic testes) and bilateral in 1 case. Seven gonads showed follicular-rich ovarian tissue (7.2%). One case showed bilateral dysplastic testes with gonadoblastoma and ectopic adrenal cortex. One case of streak gonad showed epithelial cord-like structures and undifferentiated glandular tissue embedded in malignant mixed germ cell tumors (mixed gonadoblastoma, dysgerminoma, mature teratoma and yolk sac tumor). One case had testicular microlithiasis. Uterus and fallopian tube structures were found in 11 cases. Immunohistochemical stains were performed in 15 cases. D2-40, PLAP and CKIT were expressed in germ cells and Calretinin, WT1 and inhibin were positive in Setoli cells. SALL4 and OCT3/4 were positive in 3 cases. Inhibin highlighted interstitial Leydig cells in 2 cases. GPC3 was positive in yolk sac tumor component. Conclusions Gonadal dysgenesis presents a broad spectrum of gonadal phenotypes with variable degrees of differentiation. The development of bilateral gonadal tissues has certain variability. Chromosomal karyotypes have no correlation with gonadal phenotypes. Accurate histopathologic diagnosis of gonadal dysgenesis plays an important role in the treatment and prognosis of the patient.

Objective:To analyze the association of pre-transplant risk factors with diabetes mellitus after renal transplantation and examine the significance of preventing the occurrence in kidney transplantation recipients.Methods:A total of 290 kidney transplantation recipients were retrospectively reviewed at our transplantation center from August 2018 to May 2020.Diabetes mellitus after renal transplantation was employed as a primary outcome index.Multivariate Logistic regression model was utilized for constructing A (without adjusting for covariates)、B(covariates include: gender, dialysis mode, type of donation)and C(covariates include: gender, dialysis mode, type of donation, calcineurin inhibitor, antiproliferative drugs, primary disease, fasting blood glucose, 1 h postprandial blood glucose, fasting C peptide, 1 h and 2 h postprandial C peptide, fasting C-peptide index, 1 h postprandial C-peptide index, albumin, triglycerides, total cholesterol)to evaluate the relationship between diabetes mellitus after transplantation and age, body mass index, 2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 h-PG), HbA1c, and 2 h postprandial C-peptide index(2 h-CPI).Results:In model A, age [odds ratio(OR)1.1, 95% confidence interval( CI)1.0~1.1], BMI(OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.0~1.3), 2 h PG(OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1~1.4), HbA1c(OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.5~4.9), 2 h-CPI(OR 0.7, 95% CI 0.5~1.0), model B/C had similar results with A. Age, BMI, 2 h PG and HbA1c were all risk factors for diabetes mellitus after transplantation while 2 h-CPI was a protective factor.Quartile stratification was analyzed by regression model.And trend test was significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:Age, BMI, 2 h PG, HbA1c and 2 h-CPI are correlated with diabetes mellitus after kidney transplantation.

Objective:To explore the speech features of female patients with anhedonic depression and their recognition of pleasure deficient symptoms.Methods:A total of 102 female depression patients who were hospitalized at Nanjing Brain Hospital from September 2020 to October 2021 were selected, including 62 anhedonic depression patients (anhedonic group) and 40 non-anhedonic depression patients (non-anhedonic group). A total of 50 female healthy controls were recruited during the same period.All participants were evaluated by the 17-item Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-17), Snaith-Hamilton pleasure scale (SHAPS), and the temporal experience of pleasure scale (TEPS), as well as voice acquisition.SPSS 23.0 software was used for data processing.Statistical analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA, non-parametric tests, Logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:Compared with the non-anhedonic group, the anhedonic group showed significant changes in 15 voice features(all P<0.05), including Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, formant frequencies, intensity, and energy features.Among these features, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients exhibited the highest accuracy in identifying anhedonic depression, with sensitivity of 47.5%, specificity of 91.9%, area under curve (AUC) of 0.751, 95% CI=0.686-0.866.Formant frequencies could identify female anhedonic depression, with a sensitivity of 90.0%, a specificity of 40.3%, an AUC of 0.647, and 95% CI=0.605-0.824.Energy features could identify anhedonic deficient depression, with a sensitivity of 60.0%, a specificity of 74.2%, an AUC of 0.679, and 95% CI=0.587-0.804.Intensity features could identify female anhedonic depression, with a sensitivity of 70.0%, a specificity of 58.1%, an AUC of 0.640, and 95% CI=0.554-0.769. Conclusion:Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, formant frequencies, intensity features, and energy features may have specific changes in female patients with anhedonic depression.The Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients has the highest recognition accuracy for anhedonic symptoms in female depression patients, and is expected to become an objective evaluation index for female anhedonic depression.

Objective:To summarize the distributional characteristics of postoperative occurrence of multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) infections and their risk factors in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) recipients and examine the impact of MDRO infections on the survival of SPK recipients.Method:From January 2016 to December 2022, the relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 218 SPK recipients. The source of donor-recipient specimens and the composition percentage of MDRO pathogens were examined. According to whether or not MDRO infection occurred post-transplantation, they were assigned into two groups of MDRO (98 cases) and non-MDRO (120 cases). The clinical data of two groups of donors and recipients were analyzed. And the risk factors for an onset of MDRO infection were examined by binary Logistic regression. The survival rate of two recipient groups was compared by Kaplan-Meier method.Result:A total of 98/218 recipients (45%) developed MDRO infections. And 46 (46.9%) of sputum and 34 (34.7%) of urine were cultured positively and 49 (50%) pathogens expressed extended spectrum beta-lactamase. There were pneumonia (46 cases, 46.9%), urinary tract infections (34 cases, 34.7%), abdominal infections (16 cases, 16.3%) and bloodstream infections (2 cases, 2.0%). Univariate regression analysis revealed that length of renal failure ( P=0.037), length of hospitalization ( P<0.001), length of antibiotic use ( P<0.001), novel antibiotics ( P=0.014), albumin ( P<0.001) and leukocyte count ( P<0.001) were risk factors for an onset of MDRO infections. The results of multifactorial regression indicated that low albumin ( OR=0.855, 95% CI: 0.790~0.925, P<0.001) and leukopenia ( OR=0.656, 95% CI: 0.550~0.783, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for an onset of MDRO infections. The survival rates of recipients in MDRO group at Year 1/3 post-operation were 92.9% (91/98) and 89.8% (88/98). And the survival rate of recipients in non-MDRO group was 96.7% (116/120) at Year 1/3 post-operation. Inter-group difference was not statistically significant in 1-year survival rate of two recipient groups ( P=0.201); statistically significant inter-group difference in 3-year survival rate between two recipient groups ( P=0.041) . Conclusion:Low albumin and leukopenia are risk factors for MDRO infection. Infection with MDRO has some impact on the survival of recipients.
