Objective To investigate the value of prenatal diagnosis in identifying the etiology and predicting the prognosis of fetal pleural effusion (FPE).Methods Forty-two cases of FPE were recruited in this study from January 2012 to September 2016.Ultrasound scan and genetic tests were performed on all fetuses.Seven fetuses with severe FPE were given pleurocentesis.Pregnancy outcomes of all the fetuses were followed up.Results FPE was commonly accompanied with other abnormalities,such as ascites,hydrops,hydramnion,hygroma colli,abnormal posturing,joint contractures,arrhythmia and micromandible.Chromosomal abnormality was detected in 11 fetuses (26.2％),of which ten were further confirmed by karyotype analysis,including six with 45,X,three trisomy 21 and one trisomy 18,and one was detected with a 9.83 Mb uniparental disomy (UPD) located at 12q24.21q24.31 by gene chip.One fetus was diagnosed with--SEA/--SEA thalassemia.All of the 12 families decided to terminate the pregnancies after genetic counseling.Among the other 30 fetuses,seven with severe FPE and normal karyotype underwent pleurocentesis.Five of the seven cases were with favorable outcomes,one with progressive hydrops was aborted and one neonate with severe hydrops died after birth.Spontaneous regression of FPE with good outcome was found in two cases.Parents of the other 21 fetuses chose to terminate the pregnancies.Conclusions Prenatal diagnosis is important to identify the etiology and predict the outcome of FPE.Chromosomal abnormality is a relatively common cause of FPE,and 45,X and trisomy 21 are the most common abnormalities.Intrauterine intervention is beneficial for FPE without chromosomal or other definite genetic abnormalities.Genetic test may be of great value for pregnant counseling.

Hydrofluoric acid inhalation injury is difficult to treat, despite it has low incidence. It could cause mild symptoms such as cough and sore throat, or severe symptom that may develop into life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome, and even rare pulmonary diseases such as reactive airway dysfunction syndrome and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Currently, there is no specific standard for the diagnosis and treatment of hydrofluoric acid inhalation injury. Authors summarize the incidence, injury mechanism, clinical diagnosis and treatment of hydrofluoric acid inhalation injury by searching literature at home and abroad and propose that pulse contour cardiac output monitor and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation have great application prospects in treatment of severe cases, so as to provide references for peers.

AIM:The effects and mechanisms of paeoniflorin(PF)on sepsis-associated acute kidney injury(SA-AKI)in mice were investigated based on cellular pyroptosis and the JNK/NEK7/NLRP3 pathway.METHODS:A murine SA-AKI model was established by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS).Twenty-four male C57BL/6J mice aged 6～8 weeks were divided into four groups(n=6)using a randomized numerical table method:control(Con)group(an equal amount of DMSO-containing PBS was injected intraperitoneally at the same time);LPS group(LPS was injected intraperitoneally at 15 mg/kg);LPS+PF group(PF was injected intraperitoneally at 50 mg/kg for 30 min prior to modeling);and LPS+PF+anisomycin group(intraperitoneal injection of PF 50 mg/kg and JNK agonist anisomycin 20 mg/kg 30 min before modeling).Samples were taken 24 h after modeling.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes in renal tissues,and Paller scoring of renal injury was performed.ELISA was used to detect the levels of renal in-jury markers:blood creatinine(Scr),kidney injury molecule 1(KIM-1),and the inflammatory factors interleukin 1β(IL-1β)and IL-18.Western blot was used to detect changes in phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase(p-JNK),NIMA-relat-ed expressed kinase 7(NEK7),nucleotide oligomerization domain(NOD)-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),and N-ter-minal fragment of gasdermin D(GSDMD-N)protein levels.RESULTS:Compared with the Con group,HE staining in the LPS group showed congestion and edema in renal tissues,granular or cell-like tubular patterns in the dilated tubular lu-men of renal tubules,and congestion and edema in the renal interstitium.Paller scores,Scr,serum KIM-1,IL-1β,and IL-18 levels in renal tissues were elevated(P<0.05).The expression of p-JNK,NEK7,NLRP3,and GSDMD-N also in-creased(P<0.05).Compared with the LPS group,the LPS+PF group exhibited reduced renal histopathological injury,decreased Paller score,Scr,serum KIM-1,IL-1β,and IL-18 levels(P<0.05),and decreased protein expression of p-JNK,NEK7,NLRP3,and GSDMD-N(P<0.05).Compared with the LPS+PF group,the LPS+PF+anisomycin group showed increased renal histopathological injury,Paller score,Scr,serum KIM-1,IL-1β,and IL-18 levels(P<0.05),and increased expression of p-JNK,NEK7,NLRP3,and GSDMD-N(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Paeoniflorin may at-tenuate SA-AKI by inhibiting the JNK/NEK7/NLRP3 signaling pathway and downregulating cellular pyroptosis.

Bitter taste receptors,also known as type 2 taste receptors(T2Rs),are found not only in the mouth's taste bud cells but also in various tissues and cells,including macrophages.Macrophages,known for their re-markable plasticity,play a crucial role in regulating innate immunity,managing inflammation,and orchestrating immune responses to antigens,pathogens,and environmental factors.Recently,the study of the expression and function of bitter taste receptors within macrophages has garnered significant interest.This review summarizes the expression levels and dis-tribution characteristics of bitter taste receptors in macrophages and examines their effects on macrophage polarization,phagocytosis,and chemotaxis,as well as their potential molecular mechanisms.The purpose of this review is to provide in-sight and perspectives for research on the regulatory role of T2Rs in macrophage functions.
