Objective To evaluate the value of nuchal translucency (NT) thickness in the fetal chromosome abnormality screening. Methods 11 086 pregnant women received NT measurement in 11 ~ 13+6 weeks at Hainan general hospital from January 2010 to December 2014 were selected in the study. The NT thickness was measured according to guidelines from Fetal Medicine Foundation. 122 fetuses (NT≥2.5 mm) were recruited to accept karyotype analysis. Results 11 086 pregnant women received NT measurement in 11 ~13+6 weeks, in which 122 cases′ NT are more than or equal to 2.5 mm, with a positive rate of 1.10%. 122 cases of fetal NT thickening are between 2.5 to 12.0 mm, with the average degree at (4.5 ± 2.1)mm. 122 invasive prenatal diagnostic specimens chromosome karyotype analysis results showed chromosomal abnormalities in 21 cases (abnormal rate of 17.2%), the abnormal chromosome number in 17 cases and abnormal structure in 4 cases. The top 3 are trisomy 21 (12 cases, 57.1%), chromosome pericentric inversion (3 cases, 14.3%), and trisomy 18 (2 cases, 9.5%). Fetal chromosomal abnormalities resulting from different childbirth age, the sex of the fetus, NT thickness showed significant statistical difference (P < 0.05). The concrete manifestation is that fetal chromosomal anomaly detection rate in childbirth by women more than 35 years old age are higher than other age. Female fetal chromosomal anomaly detection rate is higher than the male , and NT thickness of 5mm of fetal chromosomal abnormality rate is significantly higher than the thickness of NT group at 2.5mm~ and 3.5mm~. Fetal NT thickening of NT measurements was in significant positive correlation with fetal chromosome abnormal rate (χ2=15.533, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis found that with a higher NT thickness , risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities would be significantly higher , and thickening of NT could be an independent predictor of fetal chromosome abnormalities. Conclusion In early pregnancy, ultrasound examination of fetal ultrasound screening of NT thickness can be used as an important index of fetal chromosomal abnormality , and interventional diagnosis of prenatal NT thickness increase could pose increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities.

To compare the clinical features and prognosis in patients with cytomegalovirus pneumonia from other pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). A total of 118 patients with pulmonary complications after allo-HSCT from March 2016 to June 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, who were divided into cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia group ( n=34) and the non-CMV pneumonia group ( n=84). Compared with non-CMV pneumonia group, CMV pneumonia group presented earlier median onset time (1.8 vs.6.0 months, P=0.015) after allo-HSCT, more dyspnea (41.2% vs. 19.0%, P=0.012), hypoxemia (38.2% vs. 13.1%, P=0.006), and interstitial pneumonia (82.4% vs. 23.8%, P<0.01).The incidence of CMV-viremia and serum viral load in CMV pneumonia group were significantly higher than those in non-CMV pneumonia group. Consistently, and the development of mixed infection in CMV pneumonia group was higher than that of non-CMV pneumonia group (41.2% vs. 16.7%, P=0.013). The median follow-up time was 12.8 (0.4-46.5) months. The 1-year attributable mortality in CMV pneumonia group was significantly higher than that in non-CMV pneumonia group (26.5% vs. 10.7%, P=0.004), while the 1-year overall survival rate was significantly lower than that in non-CMV pneumonia group (61.8% vs. 85.7%, P=0.001). Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC)( P=0.036), high flow ventilation ( P=0.033) and negative CMV-viremia ( P=0.009) were unfavorable prognostic factors of patients with CMV pneumonia. Compared with those with non-CMV pneumonia, patients with CMV pneumonia had more characteristic clinical manifestations and imaging features. However, due to the higher incidence of mixed infections, the causes of pneumonia need to be identified by bronchoscopic alveolar lavage. In conclusion, patients with CMV pneumonia have worse clinical outcome. RIC, high flow ventilation and negative CMV-viremia are adverse prognostic factors for CMV pneumonia.

Objective To analyze the operation methodes and effects of cataract complicated with acute angle-closure glaucoma . Methods Phacoemusification combined with intraocular lens implantation and phacoemusification ,intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy were choosed to be performed on 40 eyes(38 patients) which were diagnosed with cataract compli-cated combined with acute angle-closure glaucoma ,according to the intraocular pressure and the opening level of the angle of anteri-or chamber of patients .All cases were been followed-up from 6-24 months after the operation .Results For postoperative correc-ted vision ,20 eyes were greater than 0 .6 ,17 eyes were between 0 .3-0 .6 and 3 eyes were less than 0 .3;For postoerative intraocu-lar pressure ,38 eyes were in normal range ,2 eyes were in normal range with drug control .Conclusion Phacoemusification combined with intraocular lens implantation prefer to be choosed for cataract complicated with acute angle-closure glaucoma with opening lev-el of the angle of anterior chamber greater than the half .Phacoemusification ,intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculec-tomy prefer to be choosed for cataract complicated with acute angle-closure glaucoma with opening level of the angle of anterior chamber less than the half .Choosing proper operation methodes for the patients who were diagnosed with cataract complicated with acute angle-closure glaucoma ,according to patients′situation ,benefit to improve patients′vision and control intraocular pressure .

Objective To investigate the clinical value of combination of transvaginal fourdimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography(TVS 4D-HyCoSy) with uterine tubal liquid poking in assessment tubal fimbria patency.Methods Sixty-two female infertile patients with obstruction at tubal fimbria,or partial obstruction with pelvic adhesion were included.All of them were underwent 4D-HyCoSy as well as uterine tubal liquid poking,and were followed with laparoscopic chromopertubation (LPC) using Methylene blue in three months.Results Comparing with laparoscopy,the total coincidence rate of 4D-HyCoSy to assess the tubal fimbria patency was 94.3%,with the sensitivity of 90.1% and specificity of 94.1 %.Imaging results showed that the obstruction at tubal fimbria,uncircle-like wrapping contrast medium can be seen around ovary accounted for 80%.The patent fallopian tube fimbria,circle-like wrapping of contrast medium can be observed around ovary accounted for 85.5 %.Conclusions The combination of TVS 4D-HyCoSy with uterine tubal liquid poking is highly in accordance with LPC by providing real-time dynamic visualization on overflowing of contrast medium from tubal fimbria,as well as the pelvic adhesion surrounding ovaries.The 4D-HyCoSy can be the preferred method for assessment of tubal fimbria patency and pelvic adhesion surrounding ovaries with its advantages of accuracy,non invasion and a good safety profile.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors,clinical characteristics and prognosis of the pneumocystis pneumonia(PCP) that is one of the severe pulmonary complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods:The clinical features,laboratory data,treatment and outcomes of patients with PCP after allo-HSCT in our hospital from January,2016 to January,2021 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Results:Twenty three cases who met the clinical diagnostic criteria of PCP were enrolled. The median time of diagnosed as PCP after transplantation was 221 days. The computed tomography (CT) of chest indicated diffuse ground glass opacity.The median of β-1,3-D glucan consentration was 894.25 ng/L, and 91.3% of the cases were over 60 ng/L.The lymphocyte count in 60.9% cases was lower than 1×10 9/L;CD4 +T lymphocyte count in 65.2% of patients was less than 200/μL. Pneumocytis sequences of mNGS were positive in all 21 cases.15 patients were complicated with mixed infection.All patients were treated with TMP-SMX,18 patients were cured and 5 patients died. Conclusions:Patients with PCP after allo-HSCT progresses rapidly, and which is usually with multiple infections. Serum β-1,3-D glucan concentration increase contributes to the diagnosis of PCP.And mNGS in alveolar lavage fluid is highly sensitive to Pneumocystis, which helps patients get treatment in time, so as to reduce mortality.Patients with respiratory failure progressing to a need for mechanical ventilation and high flow oxygen inhalation suggest a poor prognosis.
