Objective To evaluate the additional role of 99mTc-MIBI SPECT-CT imaging before parathyroidectomy (PTX) for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) patients.Methods A total of 359 SHPT patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were enrolled in the study from April 2011 to January 2016.Patients were divided into two groups according to the difference of 99mTc-MIBI imaging techniques preoperatively.Patients in group A had dual-phase 99mTc-sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphy performed only.Patients in group B had SPECT-CT parathyroid scintigraphy added in the early phase.With the parathyroid glands confirmed by pathology after operation being the referencc,scnsitivity,specificity,consistency and surgical success rates of the patients in two groups were compared.Results 359 patients (166 men and 193 women) were enrolled,among which 339 on hemodialysis and 20 on peritoneal dialysis.The average age of those patients was (45.90± 11.20) years and median dialysis age was 84 (60.0,120.0) months.Total detection sensitivity,specificity,consistency in group A (169 patients) were 65.54％,56.52％,65.24％ and in group B (190 patients) were 73.84％,84.62％,74.21％ respectively.Total sensitivity and consistency were higher in group B than those in group A (P ＜ 0.01),while no difference in total specificity was observed between two groups (P=0.055).In group A,detection sensitivity of parathyroid glands were 47.56％,77.44％,57.14％ and 79.88％ in right upper gland (RU),right lower gland (RL),left upper gland (LU) and left lower gland (LL) respectively.Consistency in group A were 48.52％,77.51％,56.21％ and 78.70％ respectively.In group B,sensitivity were 58.33％,83.78％,69.78％ and 82.89％ in RU,RL,LU and LL respectively.Consistency in group B were 59.47％,84.21％,70.53％ and 82.63％ respectively.Sensitivity and consistency of upper glands were lower than lower glands in both groups (P ＜ 0.01).When SPECT-CT was added,sensitivity and consistency of upper glands for both sides were higher in group B than those in group A,while no difference of surgical success rates was found between two groups (87.57％ vs 92.63％,P=0.107).Conclusion 99mTc-MIBI SPECT-CT can be combined with anatomic image effectively and increase the sensitivity and consistency of total and upper parathyroid glands.It can also make the accurate location of the lesions,which improves the efficiency of the operation.

Objective To study the characteristics of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) in full-term newborns with different blood glucose levels,so as to provide clinical evidence for assessing brain function after hypoglycemia.Method Full-term neonates admitted to the neonatal ward of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2014 to May 2016 with the initial diagnosis of hypoglycemia were enrolled to hypoglycemia group.According to the lowest level of blood glucose,infants were assigned to three subgroups,severe hypoglycemia group (＜ 1.1 mmol/L),moderate hypoglycemia group (1.1 ～ ＜2.2 mmol/L),and mild hypoglycemia group (2.2 ～ ＜2.8 mmol/L).Time matched asymptomatic term infants,who were admitted to the neonatal ward due to maternal high risks and with normal blood glucose after birth,were enrolled to control group.A 4 h continuous aEEG monitoring was completed for each infant in hypoglycemia group within 12 h after the blood glucose level stabilized.The newborns in control group were given aEEG examination 72 ～ 120 h after birth,the duration of monitoring was also 4 h.The aEEG scoring was completed and compared by rank sum test.Result A total of 83 neonates were enrolled in hypoglycemia group,including 11 with severe hypoglycemia,32 with moderate hypoglycemia,and 40 with mild hypoglycemia.Another 26 neonates with normal blood glucose level were enrolled in control group.The incidence of pregnancy-induced maternal blood glucose elevation was statistically significant among each group (P ＜ 0.05).The duration of neonatal hypoglycemia in severe hypoglycemia group was longer than that in moderate hypoglycemia group and mild hypoglycemia group [38.3 (20.7,50.4) h vs.20.4(15.3,22.6) h,13.7 (7.8,19.4) h] (P＜ 0.05).The range of glucose level in severe hypoglycemia group was larger than that in mild and moderate hypoglycemia group [5.0 (4.0,5.5) mmol/Lvs.3.5 (3.0,3.9) mmol/L,3.3 (2.8,3.8) mmol/L] (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference in the onset of first hypoglycemia between groups (P ＞ 0.05).The aEEG score showed that there was significant difference in total score and sleep-wake cycle score between groups (P ＜ 0.05).The score of sleep-wake cycle in severe hypoglycemia group was significantly lower than that in moderate hypoglycemia group or in mild hypoglycemia group or in the control group (P ＜ 0.05),while there was no significant difference between moderate and mild hypoglycemia groups,and between moderate hypoglycemia and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Severe hypoglycemia can lead to neonatal aEEG changes,mainly in the sleep-wake cycle changes.

Objective To construct a three-dimensional finite element model to investigate the biomechanical mechanism of carotid blast injuries.Methods Based on the head and neck CT angiography data of a healthy male volunteer,the 3D geometric model was extracted by Mimics software.The 3D solid model was obtained by fitting the geometric model to the non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) by Geomagic Studio software.The mesh of blood vessels,blood and soft tissue was divided by HyperMesh software to obtain the three-dimensional finite element model of the carotid artery.The material parameters and boundary conditions were set,and the vessel wall rupture damage threshold was 1 MPa.The dynamic process of carotid injury caused by MK3A2 grenade explosion shock wave at the distance of 60,70 and 80 cm to the neck was simulated using the LS-DYNA,generating the shock waveform and peak overpressure.The stress cloud map was used to analyze the stress distribution and damage morphology,and the stress curve was used to analyze the mechanical changes.Results The peak values of shock wave overpressure were 0.45,0.63 and 0.96 MPa at the distance of 80,70 and 60 cm away from the explosion center,respectively.At 80 cm,the peak stress of vessel wall was 0.43 MPa,and the vessel wall was not ruptured;at 70 cm,the peak stress of anonyma was greater than 1 MPa,which resulted in small rupture;at 60 cm,the peak stress of both anonyma the ascending aorta were greater than 1 MPa,leading to obvious rupture.The root part of the common carotid artery,anonyma and the arch of the aorta were high stress concentration areas,manifested as high-prevalence areas of damage and rupture.Conclusions The finite element model of explosive carotid artery injury is successfully constructed,which can be used to analyze the mechanical response and damage mechanism of carotid blast injuries.The main cause of injury and rupture is that the sudden change of stress in the process of explosion shock reaches or exceeds the threshold of vascular wall injury.Carotid artery rupture will occur when the vessel wall stress peak is greater than 1 MPa at 60 and 70 cm away from the explosion center,providing references for the clinical treatment and injury prevention.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of thriving at work, career resilience and voice behavior in organ transplantation nurses, and mediation effects of thriving at work between the latter two.Methods:From June to August 2018,180 nurses with organ transplant qualification departments in two Grade A hospitals in Fuzhou, Fujian Province were investigated by the general situation survey form, Thriving At Work Scale, Career Resilience Scale and Voice Behavior Scale.Results:The scores of thriving at work, career resilience and voice behavior were 3.68 ± 0.65, 3.56 ± 0.61 and 3.42 ± 0.62. There was a pairwise positive correlation among the three: thriving at work, career resilience and voice behavior( r values were 0.270-0.664, all P<0.05). Thriving at work played a partial mediating role between career resilience and voice behavior ( B values were 0.138-0.611, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Ii is necessary to improve thriving at work, career resilience and voice behavior in organ transplantation nurses. Thriving at work is the intermediary factor between the latter two. The improvement of thriving at work and career resilience will help to promote organ transplant specialist nurses to make positive voice behavior.

Objective:To explore the value of cardiac MRI (CMRI) in evaluating left atrial function in patients with postoperative tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) and postoperative pulmonary stenosis (rPS).Methods:Totally 67 pediatric patients (49 with rTOF, 18 with rPS) with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) were recruited between January 2019 and October 2021 in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Thirty-three healthy volunteers, matched in gender and age, were included as controls from July 2017 to August 2018. Left atrial EF, strain and strain rate of three phases (reservoir, conduit and pump), left atrial volume (maximum volume index, minimum volume index and pre-atrial contraction volume index) were measured with corresponding cardiac function analysis software. Then, the differences in these parameters were analyzed between the three groups by ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc comparison and Bonferroni correction.Results:Compared with controls, patients with rTOF had lower reservoir function parameters (EF, strain and strain rate), conduit EF, conduit strain, and left atrial maximum volume index ( P<0.05), but higher pump EF ( P<0.05). In patients with rPS, only the reservoir strain rate decreased compared with controls ( P<0.05), and the remaining data showed no significant difference ( P>0.05). The reservoir and conduit EF and strain in patients with rPS were higher than those in patients with rTOF ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In patients with rTOF and rPS, left atrial function has changed despite the preservation of left ventricular EF, which may be an early marker of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. In children with rTOF, left atrial reservoir and conduit functions decreased while the pump function increased. The reservoir and pump functions in rPS were better than those in rTOF. In addition, CMRI can detect left atrial dysfunction early before it enlarged.
