Objective:
To evaluate risk factors for NEC in in term infant.
Methods:
Risk factors associated with NEC were investigated using a retrospective case-control design.43 patients with Bell's stage NEC≥Ⅱ were identified.Each case was paired with two GA-and weight-matched controls.Data were collected from medical records, including oligohydramnios, ICP,neonatal asphyxia, MAS,neonatal septicemia, CHD,neonatal shock, gestational diabetes, PROM,fetal distress, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, and univariate/logistic regression analysis was employed.
Results:
A total of 43 cases and 86 controls were enrolled.The demographic characteristics of the two groups were not statistically significant.The onset time of 43 cases was 2~17 d after birth and the average time was 6.3 d.The single factor analysis indicated that the two group had statistical significance in oligohydramnios, MAS,CHD,neonatal septicemia, neonatal asphyxia, gestational diabetes, neonatal shock, PROM,fetal distress and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.Logistic regression analysis suggested that CHD(OR=4.27,P=0.029),neonatal septicemia(OR=2.77,P=0.007),Oligohydramnios(OR=2.42,P=0.010),PROM(OR=2.11,P=0.013),neonatal asphyxia(OR=2.06,P=0.031),MAS(OR=1.89,P=0.017),hypertensive disorders in pregnancy(OR=1.86,P=0.015),gestational diabetes(OR=1.75,P=0.032),neonatal shock(OR=1.65,P=0.024)and fetal distress(OR=1.35,P=0.021) were significantly associated with NEC.
Conclusion
Oligohydramnios, MAS,CHD,neonatal asphyxia, neonatal septicemia, neonatal shock, PROM,fetal distress, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and gestational diabetes may be associated with an increased risk of NEC in term infant.

Objective :
To explore the killing effect of chimeric antigen receptor NK⁃92 (CAR⁃NK⁃92) cells targeting mesothelin (MSLN) on ovarian cancer cells.
Methods :
The expression of MSLN in primary ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cell lines was detected by immunohistochemical analysis and immunofluorescence, respectively. The CAR⁃NK⁃92 cells targeting MSLN were constructed by lentiviral transfection, the transfection efficiency was detected by flow cytometry, and the killing effect of CAR⁃NK⁃92 on ovarian cancer was verified in vivo and in vitro.
Results :
MSLN was highly expressed in primary ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cell lines. Flow
cytometry showed that the purity of CAR⁃NK⁃92 targeting MSLN was about 70% . The experiments found that MSLN⁃CAR⁃NK⁃92 cells had a strong anti⁃ovarian cancer effect in vivo and in vitro , and could release more cytokines interferon⁃γ and tumor necrosis factor⁃α .
Conclusion
MSLN⁃CAR⁃NK⁃92 has strong anti⁃ovarian cancer effects in vivo and in vitro, providing a new potential treatment option for ovarian cancer patients.

Objective To provide a theoretical basis for radiation health supervision through an analysis of the situation of computed tomography (CT) equipment quality control and CT room radiological protection in Guangdong Province, China in recent years. Methods We collected the data of 392 times of CT quality control and radiological protection testing by a third-party radiological health technical service institution in Guangdong Province from 2019 to 2021. We analyzed the levels of CT-owning hospitals, CT manufacturers, CT quality control test results, and the pass rate of radiation protection tests. Results The examined CT scanners were from different levels of hospitals in Guangdong Province, and were manufactured by nine major CT equipment manufacturers at home and abroad. The pass rate of CT room radiological protection was 99.88%, and the ambient dose equivalent rates of five monitoring points exceeded the limit, with four at the control room door and one at the shield wall of the room. The overall pass rate of CT equipment quality control was 99.49%, and the non-conforming parameters were the accuracy of positioning light and the deviation of reconstructed slice thickness. Conclusion In recent years, CT equipment quality control and room radiation protection in Guangdong Province have been at a high level.
