Objective:To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of early anuria or oliguric after kidney trans-plantation. Methods: Retrospective analysis of cause, dignosis and different immunodepressant treatments (FK506/CsA + MMF +Pred) of early anuria or oliguria in the 66 patients after kidney transplantation. Results: The primary cause of early anuria or oliguric after kidney transplantation in 66 patients was acute tubular necrosis (77.27%), the second was acute rejection (10.61%). 2 patients with primary grafts nonfunction, and the other 2 patients with rupture and thrombosis of renal artery respectively, were removed grafts after transplantation. The renal function of 34 patients treated with FK506 became normal in 5-35 d after transplantation. The renal function of 24 patients treated with CsA recovered in 7-48 d after transplantation except 1 patient was dead because of acute rejection combined with serve pulmonary infection. And the other 3 patients' serum creatinine ranged from 142 μtmol/L to 215 μtmol/L. Conclusions: The cause of early anuria or oliguric after kidney transplantation should be promptly analyzed and correct treatment should be applied. The combination immunodepressant treatments (FK506 + MMF+Pred) contributed to the early recovery of the renal function after transplantation.

Objective To explore the value of ultrasonic guidance-fine needle aspiration biopsy (UG-FNAB) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods The clinical data of 160 patients (186 nodules) with conventional ultrasound suspected malignant thyroid nodules from January to December 2016 in Central Hospital of Enshi Autonomous Prefecture were retrospectively analyzed. The pathological results were used as the diagnostic gold standard to compare the value of UG-FNAB and CEUS in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Results Malignant thyroid nodules were characterized by low enhancement, uneven enhancement, unclear boundary and slow enhancement. The incidences in malignant thyroid nodules were significantly higher than those in benign thyroid nodules, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01); there was no statistical difference in recession speed between benign thyroid nodules and malignant thyroid nodules (P>0.05). The sensitivity of CEUS in the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules was 75.56% (98/128), the specificity was 72.41% (42/58), the missed diagnosis rate was 23.44% (30/128), the misdiagnosis rate was 27.59% (16/58), the positive predictive value was 85.96% (98/114), and the negative predictive value was 58.33% (42/72); the sensitivity of UG-FNAB in the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules was 93.75% (120/128), the specificity was 93.10% (54/58), the missed diagnosis rate was 6.25% (8/128), the misdiagnosis rate was 6.90% (4/58), the positive predictive value was 96.77% (120/124), and the negative predictive value was 87.10% (54/62). The sensitivity and specificity of UG-FNAB in the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules were significantly higher than those in CEUS, and there were statistical differences (χ2=14.957 and 8.700, P<0.01). Conclusions Malignant thyroid nodules has unique CEUS characteristics. UG-FNAB has higher sensitivity and specificity in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules, compared with CEUS.
5.Progress on effect of vitamin D on fetal and neonatal lung development and its mechanism
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2022;25(12):1005-1009
The role and mechanism of vitamin D in fetal and neonatal lung development and chronic lung diseases development have raised attention in recent years. The placental transfer of vitamin D is the major source of vitamin D to the developing fetus. The lung, as a target organ for vitamin D, has its capacity for vitamin D metabolism and can form biologically active 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D 3 in a paracrine manner to regulate lung development. Studies have shown that vitamin D is directly involved in the synthesis of lung surfactant proteins and phospholipids and promotes lung maturation such as lung epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and alveolar formation. Furthermore, it regulates immunity and improves placental function, which indirectly affects lung development. Vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor polymorphisms have been found to be detrimental to the development of alveoli, and are associated with respiratory diseases such as neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Experimental studies in animals have shown that antenatal vitamin D supplementation promotes lung maturation in preterm rats and postnatal vitamin D supplementation can alleviate the hyperoxia-induced inflammatory response in the lung and reduce BPD occurrence. Further high-quality research are needed to explore the dosing, timing, and impact factors of vitamin D for promoting fetal and neonatal lung maturation and clarify the mechanism of its prophylactic and therapeutic action.
6. Advances in antenatal corticosteroids for improving perinatal outcomes of extremely preterm infants
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2019;22(12):899-903
Large population-based cohort studies conducted in the industrialized countries in different eras revealed that the use of antenatal corticosteroids for extremely preterm births (EPT, <28 gestational weeks) reached 60% or higher in the mid-1990s, accompanying by steadily declined perinatal mortality to 13%-22% in EPT with gestational age ≥25 weeks in developed countries. Notably, the survival rate of EPT with 23-24 weeks of gestation was over 50% in Sweden since 2005. There's a link between the increment of antenatal corticosteroids use and steady decline of mortality in EPT in the past three decades. High-quality evidence is needed to demonstrate the impact of antenatal corticosteroids on EPT perinatal outcomes under the current healthcare background in China. This review, focusing on the progression of antenatal corticosteroid treatment for EPT, may facilitate the quality improvement of maternal-fetal and infant healthcare in China.

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at different time points during the perioperative period on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal malignant neoplasms surgery. Methods: Sixty-three patients who needed radical surgery for gastrointestinal tumors were randomized into a control group, treatment group 1 (postoperative EA group), and treatment group 2 (intraoperative and postoperative EA group). The control group received surgery and conventional Western medicine treatment, and treatment groups 1 and 2 received additional EA treatment at different time points. The initial flatus time after the surgery, visual analog scale (VAS) score at different time points after the surgery, the proportion of using patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) after the surgery, and the times of adding analgesics were observed in the three groups. Results: The initial flatus time after the surgery was earlier in treatment groups 1 and 2 than in the control group (P<0.05); the difference between treatment groups 1 and 2 was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The VAS score was lower in treatment group 2 than in the control group at 6, 12, 24, and 72 h after the surgery (P<0.05); the VAS score was lower in treatment group 1 than in the control group only at 72 h after the surgery (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the rate of using PCA among the three groups (P>0.05). Regarding the times of adding analgesics, it was less in treatment group 2 than in the control group at 12 h after the surgery (P<0.05). Conclusion: Either EA during and after the surgery or only after the surgery can hasten the initial flatus and boost the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients after radical resection of gastrointestinal neoplasms. Successive EA during and after the surgery should be superior to postoperative EA regarding the analgesic effect after the surgery.

Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers and the major cause of cancer death in China. The aim of this study was to estimate the burden of CRC in China. Materials and methods: Data from the National Cancer Center (NCC) of China was used and stratified by area (urban/rural), sex (male/female) for analyzing the age-specific incidence and mortality rates. Time trend of colorectal cancer was calculated based on the 22 high-quality cancer registries in China. National new cases and deaths of colorectal cancer were estimated using age-specific rates multiplied by the corresponding national population in 2014. The Chinese population in 2000 and Segi's world population were used to calculate age-standardized rates of colorectal cancer in China. Results: Overall, 370,400 new colorectal cancer cases and 179,600 deaths were estimated in China in 2014, with about 214,100 new cases in men and 156,300 in women. Meanwhile, 104,000 deaths cases of colorectal cancer were men and 75,600 deaths were women, which accounted for 9.74% and 7.82% of all cancer incidence and deaths in China, separately. Relatively higher incidence and mortality was observed in urban areas of China. And the Eastern areas of China showed the highest incidence and mortality. The age-standardized incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer has increased by about 1.9% per year for incidence and about 0.9% per year for mortality rate from 2000 to 2014. Conclusion: With gradually higher incidence and mortality rate in the past 15 years, colorectal cancer became a major challenge to China's public health. Effective control strategies are needed in China.
