ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy （DR）. MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study， which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group （120 cases） and a control group （120 cases）. The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets， and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision， DR progression rate， retinal microhemangioma， hemorrhage area， exudation area， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c） level， and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment， and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity （BCVA） than the control group （P<0.05）. The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups， while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group （Z=-1.437， P<0.05） and the control group （Z=-2.238， P<0.05）， and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged， the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time， both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR， being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of colorectal adenomatous polyps.Methods:The clinical data of 395 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the Tongzhou branch, Tongzhou District, Dongzhimen Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from August 2017 to August 2021 were analyzed. According to the examination results, adenomatous polyps were divided into adenomatous polyps group (193 cases) and non-polyp group (202 cases). The risk factors of colorectal adenomatous polyps were screened by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:The results of single factor analysis suggested that: body mass index (BMI), sex, age, proportion of blood type A, history of large intestine polyps, history of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, history of alcohol consumption, history of smoking, proportion of heavy oil diet, history of oral calcium, history of oral statins, history of oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, history of oral antibiotics, and high fat diet (pork, beef, and animal organs), high salt diet, love of pickled food, love of sweet food, love of greasy, good mood, anxiety, depression, impatience and irritability, history of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia were statistically significant in the adenomatous polyp group and the non-polyp group (all P<0.05). Factors with P<0.05 in the above single factor analysis were taken as independent variables, and the incidence of disease was taken as dependent variable for multi-factor logistic regression analysis. The results showed that BMI, age, blood type A, Hp infection history, drinking history, smoking history, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs history, oral antibiotics history, high salt diet, good mood, hypertension were the influencing factors for the incidence of adenomatous polyps (all P<0.05). Conclusions:High BMI, old age, blood type A, history of Hp infection, smoking history, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug history, oral antibiotics history, high salt diet and hypertension are risk factors for the development of adenomatous polyps. Drinking alcohol and good mood can reduce the risk of colorectal adenomatous polyps. Therefore, targeted intervention measures can be formulated for high-risk patients to reduce the risk of colorectal adenomatous polyps.

Objective:To explore the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with transvaginal ultrasound features and quantitative parameters in evaluating high-risk endometrial cancer (EC).Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on 69 EC patients who received CEUS examination and were confirmed by surgery and pathology in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2017 to September 2022. According to postoperative pathology, the patients were divided into low-risk group ( n=38) and high-risk group ( n=31). The differences in CEUS, transvaginal ultrasound features and quantitative parameters between the two groups were compared, relevant parameters that with predictive value for high-risk EC were screened, and these parameters were scored. Results:①There were differences in lesion size (thick diameter, long diameter), vascular morphology, and color blood flow score between high and low risk ECs (all P<0.05). ②There were differences in CEUS parameters [perfusion mode, enhancement intensity, area under curve(AUC)] between high and low risk EC groups (all P<0.05). ③The areas under the ROC curve for diagnosing high-risk EC were 0.79, 0.69, 0.69, and 0.62, respectively, based on the critical values of lesion thickness diameter ≥1.85 cm, lesion length diameter ≥2.05 cm, ultrasound contrast quantification parameter AUC ≥859 au, and enhancement intensity ≥29.4 dB. ④Using statistically significant parameters for scoring, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing high-risk EC with the score ≥5, were 70.97% and 89.47%, respectively. Conclusions:The combination of CEUS and transvaginal ultrasound is a feasible method for predicting high-risk EC. CEUS parameters (enhanced intensity, AUC, and " focal" perfusion mode) are related to high-risk EC. The combination of CEUS and transvaginal ultrasound helps to pre-evaluate the pathological prognostic factors of endometrial malignant lesions before surgery, providing a basis for clinical follow-up treatment.

Objective To observe contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)manifestations of giant subserosal fibroid(SSF)and ovarian thecoma-fibroma groups(OTFG).Methods Twelve females with giant SSF(SSF group)and 36 females with giant OTFG(OTFG group)were retrospectively enrolled,and the latter including 10 cases of fibroma,8 cases of follicular membrane cell tumor and 18 cases of follicular membrane fibroma.CEUS manifestations of lesions were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed and compared between groups.Results In early phase of enhancement,SSF was often characterized by synchronous annular or semi-annular iso-hyper-enhancement around the lesion and uneven synchronization enhancement of the internal solid part.In late phase,iso-hyper-enhancement was found around the lesion,and the contrast agents of internal solid part and myometrium disappeared simultaneously.Pedicle structures were noticed in 5 cases in SSF group.Meanwhile,OTFG was often characterized by late enhancement and late regression,with uneven iso-hypo-enhancement in internal solid part in early phase,and continuous enhancement of peripheral and internal branch vessels in late phase,and CEUS manifestations of different pathological subtype OTFG might be different.Pedicle structures were observed in 9 cases in OTFG group.The arrival time and time to peak were lower,while the peak intensity was higher in SSF group than those in OTFG group(all P＜0.001).Conclusion CEUS manifestations of giant SSF and OTFG had certain characteristics,while different pathological subtype OTFG presented various characteristics.
