Objective:To establish a risk model of placenta accreta spectrum(PAS) based on the clinical risk factors and ultrasound signs of patients with placenta accreta, and identify severe placenta accreta prenatal.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 121 PAS patients admitted to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2018 to June 2022 who were clinically classified or pathologically diagnosed during delivery. The two groups were divided into light and severe groups according to the implantation type. The clinical risk factors and ultrasound signs between the two groups were compared. A risk model of PAS was established based on the clinical risk factors and ultrasound signs to predict the perinatal complications.Results:A total of 130 cases of PAS were clinically diagnosed or pathologically diagnosed with placenta, 9 cases with incomplete clinical data or irregular ultrasound images were excluded, and the remaining 121 cases were included in the study. Among the 121 patients, 64 cases were placental accreta, 39 cases were placental increta, and 18 cases were placenta percreta. The placental accreta was defined as mild group, and the combination of placental increta and placenta percreta were referred to as severe group. There were no significant differences in placenta previa, and the number of uterine cavity operations (all P>0.05). There were significant differences in the number of cesarean section, myometrium thinning, placental lacunae, abnormal vascularization at the utero-bladder junction, bridging vessels at the utero-bladder junction, placental protuberance and cervical involvement (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that placental lacunae, abnormal vasculization of the utero-bladder interface and the number of cesarean sections were independent risk factors for severe PAS. Based on this, a risk model was established and the ROC curve of each independent risk factor and risk model was plotted respectively. The AUC of the risk model was 0.826, which had better diagnostic efficacy than other independent risk factors. Conclusions:In the prenatal ultrasound classification diagnosis of high-risk patients with PAS, the placental lacunae, abnormal vascularization of utero-bladder interface and the number of cesarean section are combined to establish the risk model of PAS, which has a good diagnostic efficacy for severe placenta accreta.

ObjectiveTo compare the diagnostic accuracy of five different weighting methods of Chinese medicine syndrome and then analyze their diagnostic efficacy and characteristics, by taking Diagnostic Standard for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with Dampeness-heat Syndrome (abbreviated as diagnostic standard) as an example. MethodsData from expert questionnaire on the diagnostic standard and a cross-sectional survey of 1021 patients were collected. The comparative diagnostic test accuracy (CDTA) method was used to calculate the area under the ROC curve (AUC), area under the PR curve (AUPR), accuracy (ACC), sensitivity, and specificity of five commonly used weighting methods in two categories, including knowledge-driven weighting methods (expert scoring synthesis method, analytic hierarchy process, and precedence chart method) and data-driven weighting methods (logistic regression contribution method and entropy weighting method). ResultsAmong 1021 patients with T2DM, 389 cases were diagnosed as dampness-heat syndrome. The expert scoring synthesis method, analytic hierarchy process method, and precedence chart method were basically consistent in the weight scores of each item. The expert scoring comprehensive method, analytic hierarchy process method, and entropy weighting method have a smaller difference in the weight scores of each item, while there was larger difference in the weight scores of each item of the precedence chart method and the logistic regression contribution method. The AUC (95% CI), AUPR, ACC, sensitivity, and specifi-city of the expert scoring synthesis method were 0.913 (0.893, 0.932), 0.851, 0.870, 0.868 and 0.875, respectively; while those of the analytic hierarchy process method were 0.910 (0.890, 0.930), 0.838, 0.879, 0.848 and 0.896; of the precedence chart method were 0.919 (0.900, 0.937), 0.858, 0.875, 0.871 and 0.875; of the logistic regression contribution method were 0.867 (0.842, 0.891), 0.792, 0.853, 0.769 and 0.898; and of the entropy weighting method were 0.895 (0.873, 0.916), 0.820, 0.869, 0.802 and 0.908. ConclusionThe knowledge-driven weighting methods are better than the data-driven weighting methods in terms of diagnostic efficacy and reflecting expert experience.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of porcine large intestine-processed Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) on defecation in constipation model mice and the possible mechanism. MethodsFifty Kunming mice were randomized to blank group (n=10) and model group (n=40). Loperamide suspension at the dose of 8 mg/(kg·d) was given by gavage for four consecutive days to establish a model of constipation. The 24 successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into model group, processed Dahuang group, lactulose group, raw Dahuang group, with six mice in each group. Moreover, six randomly selected mice were chosen as control group. Since the fifth day, 8 mg/(kg·d) of loperamide suspension by gavage was given to the model group, processed Dahuang group, raw Dahuang group, and lactulose group; two hours later, the processed and raw Dahuang groups were administered with 0.6 g/(kg·d) of processed and raw Dahuang suspension, respectively, while the lactulose group was given 0.6 g/(kg·d) of latulose suspension, and the blank group and the model group were given 0.2 ml/10 g of distilled water by gavage, all for four days. The general condition, body weight after the last gavage, number of fecal particles within six hours, fecal wet weight, fecal water content ratio, intestinal propulsion rate and colonic histology changes by HE staining of each group were detected. ResultsThe body weight of the mice in the raw Dahuang group was significantly lighter than that in the other groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The number of fecal particles, fecal wet weight and intestinal propulsion rate of mice significantly decreased in the model group than in the blank group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to those in the model group, the number of fecal particles and fecal wet weight in the processed Dahuang group, lactulose group and raw Dahuang group significantly increased, and the fecal water content ratio in the raw Dahuang group increased as well (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to those in the processed Dahuang group, the number of fecal particles and fecal wet weight in the raw Dahuang group decreased, while the fecal water content ratio increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the fecal water content ratio in the lactulose group increased significantly (P<0.05). The intestinal propulsion rate in the processed Dahuang group was higher than that in the model group, lactulose group and raw Dahuang group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Histopathological analysis showed that the colonic crypts and goblet cells in the blank group were normal and clear, and the colonic muscular layer was thicker. The colonic crypts of the mice in the model group were damaged, with reduced goblet cells to varying degrees and changed colonic muscularis. In the lactulose group and raw Dahuang group, part of the crypts were broken, and the goblet cells were damaged to varying degrees, while in the processed Dahuang group, still the colonic tissue structure of the mice was relatively clear, and the colonic crypts and goblet cells were relatively normal, with thickened muscular layer of the colon. ConclusionPorcine large intestine-processed Dahuang could improve defecation in constipation model mice, and reduce the drastic purgation function of raw Dahuang, for which the mechanism may be related to the protection of colon histopathological damage.
