Objective To study the association of maternal calcium supplementation and dietary calcium intake with the preterm birth so that to provide scientific basis for effective intervention of preterm birth. Methods Normal pregnant women who were followed up all through to childbirth in Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child Care Hospital were selected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the associ-ation of calcium supplementation and intake with preterm birth. Results After confounding factors were adjus-ted, pregnant women who took calcium supplement for more than 3 months before and/or during pregnancy had the risk of preterm birth reduced by 14% which was dose-responding ( OR=0. 86, 95% CI=0. 77-0. 96, P<0. 05). Through stratifying by trimesters of pregnancy, it was found that calcium supplement in the third trimes-ter was a protective factor for preterm birth and especially significant in early and very early pregnancy ( OR=0. 75, 95% CI=0. 62-0. 92, P<0. 05). Through stratifying by dietary calcium intake, pregnant women who took dietary calcium more than 465. 55 mg/d had the risk of preterm birth significantly reduced which was shown by the reduction of preterm birth of different degrees, controlled preterm labor and spontaneous premature dilivery (OR=0. 66, 95% CI=0. 53-0. 82, P<0. 05). Conclusion Appropriate calcium supplementation or dietary calcium intake before and during pregnancy can reduce the risk of preterm birth, which is especially sig-nificant in late pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE To exc avate the adverse drug event (ADE)signals of semaglutide and provide reference for its clinical rational use. METHODS The proportional unbalance method was used to mine the signals of all semaglutide ADE reports from FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)up to September 2021. The basic situations of the reported cases were analyzed. The corresponding system organ classification (SOC)was mapped and compared with the adverse drug reactions recorded in the drug instructions. Preferred terms (PT)of patients with different indications were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 6 661 semaglutide ADE reports were extracted and 194 valid signals were mined. Among 6 661 cases of ADE ,the proportion of men (43.40%)was lower than women (52.65%);the age was mainly distributed in >40-65 years old (29.00%)and >65 years old (22.61%);the reporting country was mainly the United States (83.88%);the report year was mainly concentrated in 2021 (40.88%),with an increasing trend year by year ;the main outcome was hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization in serious ADE reports (17.78%). Semaglutide ADE signal was mapped to the main SOC ,mainly including gastrointestinal diseases ,various injuries,poisoning and operation complications ,metabolic and nutritional diseases ,various examinations. The screening criteria were based on the report odds ratio >10 or ADE reported cases >50,and 48 new potential adverse drug reactions were added to the drug description. Among the indications with the top two reported cases (type 2 diabetes and obesity ,overweight,weight control),the frequency of gastrointestinal system related ADE reports represented by nausea ,vomiting and diarrhea was higher , which was similar to the drug instructions. CONCLUSIONS This study supplemented 48 new potential adverse drug reactions based on the drug instructions of semaglutide. At present ,it can be considered that semaglutide is safe.

Objective:To study the risk factors of surgical therapy in neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).Methods:From January 2016 to July 2020, neonates with a confirmed diagnosis of NEC (Bell's Stage Ⅱ and above) admitted to our hospital were retrospectively enrolled. They were assigned into surgical group and conservative group according to whether surgeries were performed. The conditions during perinatal period, clinical characteristics and laboratory examinations at the onset of NEC were compared between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors of surgical therapy.Results:A total of 177 neonates with NEC were identified, including 62 cases (35.0%) in the surgical group and 115 cases (65.0%) in the conservative group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male gender ( OR=3.178,95% CI 1.457~6.929, P=0.004), comorbidity with shock ( OR=3.434, 95% CI 1.112~10.607, P=0.032), mechanical ventilation>7 d before NEC onset ( OR=3.663, 95% CI 1.098~12.223, P=0.035) and lymphocytes <2.0×10 9/L ( OR=4.121, 95% CI 1.801~9.430, P=0.001) at the onset of NEC were independent risk factors for surgical therapy. Conclusions:Male gender, comorbidity with shock, mechanical ventilation >7 d before NEC and lymphocytopenia at the onset are independent risk factors for surgical therapy in neonates with NEC (Stage Ⅱ and above).

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of maxillary protraction combined with repetitive rapid palatal expansions and constrictions (RPE/C) vs. rapid palatal expansion (RPE) alone using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
METHODSTwenty four subjects with maxillary retrusion were recruited and block randomized into either the control group (n = 12) or the RPE/C (n = 12) group.
CONTROL GROUPfacemask protraction after RPE. RPE/C group: facemask protraction after RPE/C. 3D reconstruction, landmarks identifying, superimposition and cephalometric analysis were performed to compare the pre-treatment and post- treatment CBCT images.
RESULTSOne subject in the RPE/C group was lost to follow up during the treatment. Maxilla moved forward [(2.5±1.0) mm] after maxillary protraction with RPE/C, which was significantly greater than that in the control group [(1.6±0.8) mm] (P < 0.05). The distance of basion to subspinale (Ba-A) increased [(3.1±1.0) mm] in the RPE/C group, which was significantly greater than that in the control group [(2.2 ± 0.9) mm] (P < 0.05). The amount of forward movement of upper first molars was significantly greater in the RPE/C group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSMaxillary protraction with RPE/C might positively affect the forward movement of maxilla compared with the RPE alone protocol with the early treatment of maxillary retrusion patients.

Objective To investigate the vaccination rate of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine in patients undergoing cardiac mechanical valve replacement and to evaluate its effect on international normalized ratio (INR) value. Methods We investigated 132 patients who had received cardiac mechanical valve replacement and followed up in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from May to October 2021. There were 51 males and 81 females aged 26-72 (53.01±9.51) years. Results The vaccination coverage rate was 53.8%. Among the 61 unvaccinated patients, concerns about heart side-effects were the main reason. The average INR of the first review after vaccination was higher than that of the last review before vaccination, with a difference of 0.40±0.72 (P<0.001). Conclusion The vaccination rate of patients after cardiac mechanical valve replacement is low. At the same time, COVID-19 vaccine may increase INR value, and it is suggested that patients should increase the frequency of review and adjust warfarin dosage after vaccination.
