Purpose To investigate the value of quantitative evaluation of upper urinary tract pump function after unilateral lower urinary tract obstruction using 640-slice dynamic volumetric CT. Materials and Methods Twenty-six healthy subjects (control group), thirty cases of acute upper urinary tract obstruction caused by unilateral ureteral calculi and thirty cases of chronic upper urinary tract obstruction were selected, all receiving dynamic volume scan of 640-slice dynamic volumetric CT during renal excretion. The value of contrast agent volume, volumetric difference, time difference correspondent to the difference, volumetric change rate, and flow rate in ureteropelvic and partial upper ureter were calculated and analyzed. Results Volumetric change rate of obstruction side of upper urinary tract in acute obstruction group was higher than that of contralateral upper urinary tract. Volumetric average value, volumetric difference and flow rate were increased with time difference value decreased, the difference of which were all statistically significant (P<0.001). Volumetric change rate, volumetric difference and flow rate of obstruction side of upper urinary tract in acute obstruction group was lower compared with those of contralateral upper urinary tract, while volumetric average value and time difference raised, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The difference of five pump function values among acute obstruction group, obstruction side of chronic obstruction group and control group were statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion 640-slice dynamic volumetric CT can be used to quantitatively evaluate changes of urinary tract pump function in physiological and obstructive status.

Objective To explore the association between dyslipidemia and the level of 8-OHdG/Cr in urine among a population exposed to chronic arsenic.Methods Four hundred and seven subjects were randomly selected in an arsenic-affected area in Inner Mongolia.After blood biochemical examination,all the subjects were divided into 4 groups based on the results of total cholesterol (TC),triglycerides (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).The groups consisted of hypercholesterolemia,HDL-C ratio anomaly,combined hypercholesterolemia and HDL-C ratio anomaly,as well as a normal lipid group.Urine samples were collected and 8-OHdG/Cr was measured using the ELISA method.A generalized linear mixed model was used to analyze the association between dyslipidemia and 8-OHdG/Cr.Results The levels of 8-OHdG/Cr as 55.73 (39.90-79.94) ng/mg,58.08 (44.94-69.91) ng/mg,65.28 (49.29-92.95) ng/mg and 51.43 (36.86-68.57)ng/mgin the HDL-C ratio anomaly,hypercholesterolemia,combined hypercholesterolemia and HDL-C ratio anomaly groups and the control group,respectively,which showed significant differences on the levels of 8-OHdG/Cr in the four groups (P=0.006).From the linear regression analysis results showed that the 8-OHdG/Cr level incombined hypercholesterolemia and HDL-C ratio anomaly group was higher (4.25 ± 0.55 ng/mg) than in the control group (3.96 ± 0.55 ng/mg) (P=0.018).After adjusting for important covariates,there was a linear trend between the levels of 8-OHdG/Cr and dyslipidemia (P=0.016).Conclusion Data from our study showed a linear relation between hypercholesterolemia,HDL-C ratio anomaly and the 8-OHdG/Cr level,suggesting that dyslipidemia was associated with oxidative DNA damage among those arsenic-affected people.

Hepatitis D (HD) is a serious disease. Traditionally, it is believed that the infection with hepatitis D virus (HDV) is closely related to hepatitis B virus (HBV). Recently, scholars have found the evidence that transmission of HDV does not rely on HBV, and have opened up δ virus a new chapter in virus research. This article reviews the origin of HDV, life cycle of HDV, HDV related to HBV infection, HDV unrelated to HBV infection, HDV-like virus, and the problems and prospect.

Objective:To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid testing in 20 348 close contacts of COVID-19 cases in different prevention and control stages in Guangzhou and to provide scientific evidence for optimizing epidemic response strategies.Methods:A total of 20 348 close contacts of COVID-19 cases in Guangzhou were traced between February 21 and September 22,2020. All the close contacts were tested for the nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2. The sensitivity and specificity of nucleic acid testing and diagnosis in the different prevention and control stages were compared.Results:In 20 348 close contacts, 12 462 were males (61.24%), the median ( P 25, P 75) of age of them was 31.0 years (23.0,43.0), the median number ( P 25, P 75) of nucleic acid testing for them was 2.0 (1.0,3.0), and the median ( P 25, P 75) of their quarantine days was 12.0 (8.0,13.0) days, respectively. A total of 256 COVID-19 cases were confirmed in the close contacts after seven nucleic acid tests. In the 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd and 7 th nucleic acid testing, the sensitivity and specificity were 69.14% and 99.99% (177 cases confirmed), 89.84% and 99.99% (230 cases confirmed), 97.27% and 99.99% (249 cases confirmed), and 100.00% and 99.98%, respectively. In the three stages of COVID-19 prevention and control in China: domestic case stage, imported case stage, and imported case associated local epidemic stage, the sensitivity of the 1 st nucleic acid testing was 70.68%, 68.00% and 67.35%, and the specificity was 99.98%, 100.00% and 100.00%, respectively. Conclusions:The sensitivity of nucleic acid testing in the close contacts at the different stages were consistent with slight decrease, which might be related to the increased proportion of asymptomatic infections in the late stage of epidemic prevention and control with COVID-19 in Guangzhou. It is suggested to give three nucleic acid tests to improve the sensitivity and reduce false negative risk.

‍Due to significant innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis D virus （HDV）， the European Society of Hepatology （EASL） published its first international clinical practice guidelines on the management of individuals with HDV infection in July 2023. The guidelines mainly focus on the six aspects of HDV screening， diagnosis， clinical features and influencing factors， patient monitoring and selection for treatment， therapeutic methods and treatment endpoints. The guidelines give recommendations by answering and elaborating on 13 questions covering these six aspects. In addition， the guidelines also provide the prospect of the future treatment of HDV. The author’s team makes an excerpt of the guidelines and systematically introduces various evaluation points in recommendations and clinical management suggestions， in order to promote the development of clinical management and decision-making for individuals with HDV infection in China.
