Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of reflectance confocal microscopy(RCM) in the diagnosis of several common diseases manifesting as papules in children, including lichen nitidus, verruca planae, lichen striatus, milium, molluscum contagiosum and lichen pilaris. Methods A total of 579 children clinically characterized by papules were recruited into this study. RCM was used to observe lesions and perilesional normal skin. The RCM features of 6 diseases manifesting as papules were analyzed and compared. Results Based on RCM images, 236 patients were diagnosed with lichen nitidus, 70 with verruca planae, 123 with lichen striatus, 40 with milium, 53 with molluscum contagiosum and 57 with lichen pilaris. All the 6 diseases had typical RCM features. Concretely speaking, RCM images of lichen nitidus lesions showed infiltration of dense inflammatory cells and melanophages in enlarged dermal papillae. In RCM images of verruca planae lesions, cells in the granular and spinous layers were arranged in concentric circles, giving a rose cluster?like appearance. RCM images of lichen striatus lesions revealed focal swelling of stratum spinosum, absent or local liquifaction degeneration of basal cells, and clustering of a moderate number of inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis. In RCM images of milium lesions, well?circumscribed round or oval structures containing highly but nonuniformly refractive materials could be seen in the dermis. RCM images of molluscum contagiosum lesions showed intact cystoid structures containing highly refractive molluscum bodies. Lowly to moderately refractive cutin ? like materials were observed along with the dilation of hair follicle infundibula in RCM images of lichen pilaris lesions. In RCM images, the 6 diseases were distinguished mainly based on structural features(patterns and refractivity)of skin lesions shown by continuous vertical scanning. Conclusion RCM is of great value to the diagnosis of diseases manifesting as papules in children.

Objective:To determine the gestational weight gain and its risk factors and adverse effects among pregnant women in Beijing.Methods:Between June 2018 and June 2019, all registered infants and their mothers in a child care center of a third-tier-class hospital in Beijing were selected. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect the basic information of the maternal mothers. Chi-square test and analysis of variance were used to describe the basic characteristics of the study subjects and clarify the harmful effect of gestational weight gain for maternal and infant health. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of both insufficient and excessive weight gain during pregnancy.Results:A total of 3732 maternal mothers and their babies were included. The average weight gain of maternal mothers during pregnancy was 13.0 kg. The results of this study showed that the proportion of insufficient weight gain during pregnancy was 31.8% and the proportion of excessive weight gain was 24.1%. It was further found that young age, pre-pregnancy body mass index indicating overweight and obesity, primipara, and low education were independent risk factors for excessive weight gain during pregnancy. The risk of excessive weight gain of pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity was 2.40 times ( OR=2.40, 95% CI=1.91-3.03, P<0.001) and 2.90 times higher, respectively, ( OR=2.90, 95% CI=1.59-5.27, P<0.001) when compared with that of pre-pregnancy normal weight. In addition, our results suggested that excessive weight gain significantly increased the risk of macrosomia for the infant and the risk of cesarean section, gestational hypertension, and postpartum weight retention for maternal mothers. Conclusions:Age, pre-pregnancy BMI, primipara, and education level were the influencing factors for gestational weight gain. Considering the serious harmful effects of both insufficient and excessive weight gain for maternal and infant health, weight management during pregnancy should be strengthened for these high-risk populations in the future.

Objective:
To explore the value of ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of neonatal upper and lower gastrointestinal tract(GIT)perforation.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the ultrasound findings of 42 neonates of surgery-confirmed neonatal GIT perforation in our hospital from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2018.The accuracy of ultrasound for detecting GIT perforation and the ultrasound features of upper and lower GIT perforation were evaluated.
Results:
(1)Of the 42 neonates with GIT perforation, 1 case didn′t undergo ultrasound, 2 cases were missed, and 1 case was misdiagnosed.Thirty-eight neonates were diagnosed of GIT perforation by ultrasound preoperatively, with a detection rate of 92.7%(38/41). The locations of GIT perforation were identified by ultrasound in 30 cases(78.9%, 30/38), including 11 cases of upper GIT perforation and 19 cases of lower GIT perforation.(2)A common sonographic finding of GIT perforation in 38 cases was pneumoperitoneum, which appeared as an echogenic line with posterior reverberation artifact under diaphragm or anterior to hepatic/splenic surface and a "stratosphere" sign in M-mode sonography.Free gas changed position when the patient′s position was changed, and didn′t change due to respiratory change.Besides, free gas dispersed with compression on abdomen, and gathered without compression.(3)Upper GIT perforation was showed that poor filling of the stomach cavity, and the abdominal free gas sharply increased.Lower GIT perforation was characterized by collapsed bowel, blurred and interrupted intestinal wall structure, and more accompanied with intestinal obstruction.(4)There was no significant difference of detection rate between ultrasound and X-ray in diagnosing GIT perforation[92.7%(38/41)vs.83.3%(35/42)](

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of myocardial blood flow quantitative imaging with cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) SPECT in patients with high-risk coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods:A total of 148 patients (82 males, 66 females, age: (63.8±8.2) years) who successfully completed CZT SPECT dynamic acquisition and routine SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital from November 2018 to October 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the results of coronary angiography (CAG), patients were divided into two groups: high-risk CAD group and low-to-medium-risk CAD group. At the case level, quantitative parameters (stress myocardial blood flow (sMBF), rest myocardial blood flow (rMBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR)), semi-quantitative parameters (summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS), summed difference score (SDS) and transient ischemic dilation (TID)) and left ventricular function parameters of two groups were compared. Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by ROC curve analysis. At the vascular level, the correlation between the degree of coronary artery stenosis and some parameters was analyzed. Mann-Whitney U test, logistic regression, Spearman rank correlation analysis and DeLong test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Case level analysis showed that MFR and sMBF in high-risk CAD group were significantly lower than those in low-to-medium-risk CAD group (1.36(0.87, 1.64) vs 2.74(2.30, 3.33), 1.06(0.69, 1.48) vs 2.50(1.73, 2.95) ml·g -1·min -1; U values: 628.0 and 853.5, both P<0.001). MFR and SDS were independent predictors of high-risk CAD patients (odds ratio ( OR)=0.251(95% CI: 0.136-0.464), P<0.001; OR=1.188(95% CI: 1.026-1.375), P=0.021), and MFR was more capable of predicting high-risk CAD. MFR and sMBF had the highest accuracy in diagnosing high-risk CAD (AUCs: 0.885 and 0.844). Differences of AUCs between MFR and other parameters were statistically significant ( z values: 1.99-6.77, all P<0.05), and the best diagnostic cut-off value was ≤1.83 (sensitivity: 85.90%; specificity: 85.71%). Vascular level analysis showed that MFR and sMBF( R2 values: 0.39 and 0.35, both P<0.001) were negatively correlated with the degree of coronary stenosis, while SSS, SRS and SDS ( R2 values: 0.22, 0.12 and 0.14, all P<0.001) were positively correlated with the degree of coronary stenosis. Conclusion:Compared with conventional SPECT MPI, CZT SPECT myocardial blood flow quantitative imaging has better diagnostic efficacy and clinical value in patients with high-risk CAD.

Objective:To investigate the effect of motion correction (MC) on the calculated values of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) based on cadmium-zinc-telluride SPECT (CZT SPECT) images.Methods:Twenty-eight consecutive patients (10 males, 18 females, age: (60.75±11.62) years) with suspected or known coronary artery disease who underwent myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with dynamic CZT SPECT between June 2019 and August 2019 in TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The MBF and MFR during rest imaging and stress imaging were quantitatively analyzed. Corridor 4DM software was used to calculate the stress MBF (sMBF) and MFR of the coronary artery branches and left ventricular (LV) before and after MC. The paired t test and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. Results:The sMBF and MFR of LV before MC were (0.82±0.49) ml·min -1·g -1 and 1.69±0.68 respectively. After MC the two parameters increased to (1.05±0.64) ml·min -1·g -1 and 2.12±0.77 respectively ( t values: -4.87, -6.01, both P<0.001). The sMBF and MFR in left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX), right coronary artery (RCA) and LV before MC were correlated with those after MC ( r values: 0.69-0.96, all P<0.001). If MFR <2.0 was used as the reference of impaired MFR, data before MC showed 19 patients (67.9%, 19/28) had impaired MFR, while 13 patients (46.4%, 13/28) had impaired MFR based on MFR values after MC. Conclusion:For MPI quantitative imaging with CZT SPECT, the calculated values of sMBF and MFR after MC is higher than those before MC, suggesting that MC is helpful to reduce the false positive results which may be caused by the " creep" effect of the heart.
