Objective To explore the correlation and significance between adult nut-cracker phenomenon (NCP) and varicocele. Methods The clinical characters of 226 adult patient (including inpatients and outpatients)with NCP diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound examination were analyzed retrospectively, whose chief complaints were asymptomatic bematuria or/and orthostatic proteinuria (microalbuminuria). The ratio of left renal vein inner diameter before and after being compressed≥2 was regarded as the criteria of diagnosis of NCP. Among 226 cases, 184 male NCP patients were taken as study group, and the incidence of varicocele was tested. One hundred and fifty-six male adults who had physical examination in the same period and whose ages matched with study group were taken as control group, they were not NCP patients examined by color Doppler ultrasound. The incidence of varicocele was compared between two groups. The indexes associated NCP were examined in detail in study group. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the correlation between NCP and left varicocele. Results There were 184 male patients in study group, among which there were 22 patients with left sub-clinical varicocele (accounted for 11.96%), 47 patients with left varicocele (accounted for 25.54%).The total incidence of varicocole was 37.50%(69/184). There were 156 male adults in control group, among which there were 13 patients with sub-clinical varicocole(accounted for 8.33%), 8 patients with varicocele (accounted for 5.13%).The total incidence of varicocele was 13.46%(21/156). The total incidence of varicocele in study group was significantly higher than that in control group (P=0.000). In study group, there were 22 patients with left sub-clinical varicocele,with average age (24.73±1.03) years. The inner diameter of left renal vein(LRV) in front of spine was (3.65±0.11) mm(a),the inner diameter of LRV at left side of spine was (8.41±0.11)mm(b), and b/a ratio was 2.31± 0.06. The angle between superior mesenterie artery (SMA) and abdominal aorta(AA) was (15.95±0.59)°. There were 47 patients with left varicocele, with average age(26.62±1.74)years. The inner diameter of LRV in front of spine was (3.43±0.08)mm(a),the inner diameter of LRV at left side of spine was (8.72±0.14) mm (b), and b/a ratio was 2.54±0.08. The angle between SMA and AA was (14.54±0.53)°. In study group, Lagistic regression analysis proved that male patients with NCP were complicated with varicocele easier when the angle between SMA and AA became smaller, the inner diameter of LRV at the left side of spine (b)and age increased. Conclusions Male adult patients with NCP are complicated with left varicocele, which is significantly higher than that in non-NCP male adults at the same age. It shows that NCP is one important cause for varicocele and there is a close correlation between NCP and varicocele in male adults.

Objective To study the pathogenesis of acute intravascular hemolysis following copper needle electrothrombosis for treating a huge cavernous hemangioma. Methods (1) The full course of severe intravascular hemolysis in a patient with huge cavemous hemangioma treated by copper needle electrontrombosis was observed. (2)In vitro experiment, a copper needle, an iron needle and a stainlss-steel needle were put in citrated anticoagulant healthy blood specimens respectively. The needles were electrified with 3~6 voltages DC for 30 minutes. Then the free hemoglobin of the specimens was tested before,during and after electrfication. The red cell morphology was observed under a light microscope. Results Severe intravascular hemolysis occurred in twice treatments with copper needle electrothrombosis. In vitro experiment showed that erythroclasis occurred after needle electrifying with obvious increasing of free plasma hemoglobin of the specimens. The higher the voltage and the longer the electrification of the needle, the more severe the hemocytocatheresis. Conclusions Severe intravascular hemolysis may happen during copper needle electrothrombosis for treating huge cavernous hemangioma. Red blood cell injury directly caused by electrification is the main factor of intravascular hemolysis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical feature, management, outcome and prognosis of chest pain during pregnancy.MethodsClinical data of 13 gravidas with chest pain admitted to the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January, 2013 to December, 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the 13 cases, nine had acute chest pain (happen within 72 hours); two had chronic chest pain lasting over one month, and the other two had paroxysmal subacute chest pain (72 h to less than 30 d). Seven cases were complicated by cardiogenic disease/death including six with aortic dissection (patients No.1-6) and one with myocardial infarction (patient No.7). The remaining six cases were complicated by a variety of different non-cardiac conditions including transverse colon cancer (patient No.8), spontaneous pneumothorax (patient No.9), reflux esophagitis (patient No.11), intercostal neuralgia (patient No.12), acute leukemia (patient No.13) and idiopathic disease (patient No.10). Eight women underwent cesarean section, three delivered vaginally (patients No.8, No.10 and No.12), and two (patients No.7 and No.13) were aborted in the first trimester. Patient No.7 chose abortion in early pregnancy, 12 days after stent implantation, and was lost to follow up after discharge. Patient No.13 underwent induced abortion following two courses of chemotherapy against acute leukemia and was also lost to follow up. Patient No.2 died due to the septic shock and subsequent multi-organ dysfunction syndrome after cesarean section and aortic surgery. The remaining ten cases did not report any abnormalities during follow-up. Among the 11 neonates, seven were preterm infants. All of the 11 babies were normal in follow-ups except one preterm infant (case 8) showed growth retardation at 11 months old.ConclusionsChest pain during pregnancy may be caused by various reasons, and the severity varies greatly, and may even result in maternal and infant deaths in some circumstances. Early identification diagnosis and timely intervention are required to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.

Objective:
To explore the influence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on pubertal development of boys and girls and to provide a reference for the development of intervention measures.
Methods:
A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select a total of 1 156 students in grades three and four in the boarding school system and public primary schools in Huangshan City and surrounding towns in September 2018, using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Pubertal Development Scale (PDS). For the baseline self-assessment survey, according to different dimensions, abuse children score no exposure groups. Children were divided into an exposure group and a high exposure level group, according to their childhood experiences. PDS self-report questionnaire was administered two years later, and an analysis of ACE type and severity of the continuous impact of youth development was conducted.
Results:
In the baseline survey, there were 53 girls (11.32%) and 51 boys (7.41%) who developed earlier. The rate of early development in girls was higher than that of boys, and the difference was statistically significant(χ 2=5.21, P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed gender differences in the effects of type and severity of ACEs and abuse on adolescent development at both baseline and follow-up. There were gender differences in the rate of early development between boys and girls at baseline and at follow-up between the exposure groups. Regression analysis showed that the higher the degree of emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse in girls, the higher the PDS score(B=0.22, 0.15, 0.08, P<0.05). In boys, the more severe the emotional abuse experienced, the higher the PDS score, and the more severe the physical abuse experienced, the lower the PDS score(B=0.20, 0.04, P<0.05).
Conclusion
Attention should be paid to the influence of ACEs and gender differences during youth development among male and female students, and more longterm studies should also be carried out.
9.Agreement of central vault measurements between UBM and anterior segment OCT in posterior chamber intraocular lens implanted eyes
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2019;37(4):287-291
Objective To compare the agreement of central vault measurements between anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in the eyes with posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation and analyze the association sculus to sculus (STS) diameter and white-to-white (WTW) diameter of cornea with central vault.Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out.Medical records of 150 phakic eyes of 75 myopic patients who underwent implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery for the correction of myopia were collected in Chongqing Aier Eye Hospital from December 2017 to March 2018.The postoperative central vault were measured with AS-OCT and UBM.Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman plot were used to evaluate the repeatability and agreement of the measurements between two devices.The affecting factors of central vault measurements were assessed.Results Mean central vault in the 150 phakic eyes after ICL surgery was (0.73±0.25)mm by AS-OCT and (0.76-±0.31)mm by UBM,respectively with the ICC of 0.91 for the measurements of AS-OCT and UBM.Bland-Altman analysis showed that the 95% limits of agreement of central vault measurements were-0.38-0.31 mm between the two devices.Five values were beyond the 95% consistency interval,and the maximum absolute value of the difference was is 0.31 mm,which was beyond the clinical acceptable range,showing an non-interchangeable difference in the central vault measurements between the devices in ICL implanted eyes.WTW was a affecting factor for vault with a regression equation of Y=0.145 3X-0.960 1 (t =2.272,P<0.05).Horizontal and vertical STS were the indirect affecting factors for vault by the association with WTW with the regression equation of Y=0.524 1X+5.362 4 and Y=0.613 4X+4.658 3,respectively.Conclusions Central vault measured by UBM is higher that than AS-OCT after ICL surgery,and the measurements are uninterchangeable between the two devices.Accurate measurement of STS distance is essential for the selection of appropriate lens before operation.

Objective To explore the effects of exercise instruction during the whole course of pregnancy by mobile phone APP on master of pregnancy motor knowledge, body movement during pregnancy and gestation related index. Methods Totals of 186 pregnant women who received prenatal examination during early pregnancy were selected. They were divided into intervention group (n=96) and control group (n=90) according to random number table. Patients in the intervention group received exercise instruction during the whole course by mobile phone APP involving pushing pregnancy motor knowledge at regular intervals, sharing authoritative movement method, reminding the time of further consultation and arranging experts for response to messages of pregnant women and so on. Patients in the control group accepted routine exercise instruction with the existing model of pregnancy movement. The master of pregnancy motor knowledge, body movement during pregnancy and gestation related index were compared. Results The total scores of the master of pregnancy motor knowledge in the intervention group and the control group were (77.22±7.07) and (63.31±5.91) with a significant difference (t=14.592, P< 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference in the average total energy consumed per week between the intervention group (154.62±20.74) MET-hours and the control group (105.48±15.81) MET-hours (t=18.240, P< 0.001). Besides, the differences in pregnancy weight gain, antenatal weight, postpartum BMI and pelvic floor muscle strength between two groups were significant (t=-7.715, -4.438, -9.805, 13.988; P< 0.001). The amount of vaginal bleeding, cesarean section rate, perineotomy rate with spontaneous labor during the second stage, total stage of labor and two hours after delivery in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group with significant differences (P< 0.05). Conclusions The exercise instruction during the whole course of pregnancy by mobile phone APP can improve the master of pregnancy motor knowledge and increase the energy consumed during pregnancy, so as to improve the gestation related index, reduce the cesarean section rate and perineotomy rate with spontaneous labor. It is better than the existing model of pregnancy movement.
