ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the severity of intrauterine adhesions (IUA). MethodsThe retrospective study included 380 patients who underwent transcervical resection of adhesions (TCRA) from December 2019 to March 2025. Based on the American Fertility Society (AFS) classification, patients were divided into mild (n=61), moderate (n=225), and severe (n=94) groups. NLR, PLR, and SII were calculated from preoperative blood tests. Statistical analyses included Kruskal-Wallis test and ordinal Logistic regression. ResultsNLR, PLR, and SII were significantly higher in the severe IUA group compared to the mild group (P<0.05), with SII showing the strongest predictive ability (OR=1.004, P=0.001). The number of intrauterine procedures was an independent risk factor (OR=1.27/level, P=0.016). The predictive model [Logit(P)=-0.676+0.241×operation times+0.004×SII] effectively identified severe IUA cases. ConclusionInflammatory markers (particularly SII) are correlated with IUA severity and may serve as non-invasive tools for clinical assessment.
2.Good patients: the logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities
Chinese Medical Ethics 2026;39(1):94-99
The construction of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship requires both doctors and patients to bear the corresponding moral responsibilities. Patients’ moral responsibilities refer to the duties that patients should take action and bear the corresponding good and bad consequences to restore their physical or mental health, as well as the good qualities that help patients adapt to and integrate into their patient roles and pursue excellence. The logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities represents the practical vision and value orientation of patients’ moral responsibility research. Healthy bodies are the direct goal of patients’ moral responsibilities, harmonious interpersonal relationships serve as the basic goal, and good lives represent the core goal. The logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities returns to the human being, focusing on profound care for real patients and ideal construction. Healthy bodies, harmonious interpersonal relationships, and good lives collectively achieve “good patients”, who are the logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities.

Both hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis and fatty liver disease are associated with lipid metabolism disorders and are commonly comorbid with each other in clinical practice. The pathogenesis of such comorbidity involves the interaction between multiple factors such as hypertriglyceridemia, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and insulin resistance, and these factors may form a vicious cycle and jointly promote disease progression. In clinical practice, hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis is characterized by severe disease conditions, a high incidence rate of complications, a high mortality rate, and a tendency for recurrence, and it can easily lead to multi-organ damage and even multiple organ failure without timely treatment, posing a serious threat to the life of patients. Starting from the various signaling pathways associated with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis comorbid with fatty liver disease, this article discusses the potential molecular mechanisms of synergistic pathogenesis between hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis and fatty liver disease, so as to provide a reference for the early prevention and treatment of such comorbidity.

Bilateral tubal pregnancy is a rare ectopic pregnancy that occurs in both fallopian tubes. In order to explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment methods, pathological analysis, and treatment outcomes of the disease, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 9 cases of bilateral tubal pregnancy admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 2003 to December 2023. All cases were confirmed as bilateral tubal pregnancy by preoperative ultrasound, and all with a history of embryo transfer, which pregnancy sites distributed in the ampulla and interstitial regions of the fallopian tubes. The treatment method was bilateral salpingectomy. After treatment, there were no cases of secondary surgery, and one case successfully gave birth. In summary, as a rare and atypical type of ectopic pregnancy, bilateral tubal pregnancy should be detected and diagnosed early. Personalized treatment plans should be developed based on the patient's condition and needs. After treatment, changes in blood β-human chorionic gonadotropin should be monitored strictly, and auxiliary examination methods such as Doppler ultrasound should be used to alert to the occurrence of persistent ectopic pregnancy and even trophoblastic diseases

Objective:To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of blindness and moderate to severe visual impairment among Han and Kazakh residents aged 50 years and older in Tacheng City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional survey conducted using cluster random sampling from October 2015 to June 2018 in Emin County, Tacheng City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The study included individuals aged 50 years and older to survey blindness and moderate to severe visual impairment. Ophthalmological examinations combined with questionnaires were conducted to gather basic information. The data collected from the questionnaires included general demographic information and health conditions. The results of the eye examinations were used to diagnose a total of 12 risk factors including cataracts, glaucoma, pterygium, suspected glaucoma, glaucoma, and refractive errors. These risk factors were analyzed in relation to blindness and moderate to severe visual impairment. Univariate analysis was conducted first, followed by logistic regression to identify the significant factors.Results:A total of 2 114 patients were included in the final analysis, among which the prevalence of moderate to severe visual impairment was 18.54% (392/2 114), and the prevalence of blindness was 2.74% (58/2 114). Univariate analysis showed that blindness and moderate to severe visual impairment were associated with age ( χ2 = 32.97, P < 0.05), hypertension ( χ2 = 3.48, P < 0.05), age-related cataract ( χ2 = 17.43, P < 0.05), glaucoma ( χ2 = 3.90, P < 0.05), macular degeneration ( χ2 = 16.04, P < 0.05), diabetes ( χ2 = 3.09, P < 0.05), pterygium ( χ2 = 2.57, P < 0.05), and fundus arteriosclerosis ( χ2 = 2.31, P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that moderate to severe visual impairment was correlated with age (50 to < 60 years: OR = 2.91, 95% CI: 0.44-13.45; 60 to < 70 years: OR = 3.52, 95% CI: 0.73-8.77; 70 to < 80 years: OR = 4.31, 95% CI: 0.85-8.96), ethnicity ( OR = 4.45, 95% CI: 0.56-5.95), sex ( OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.34-0.64), age-related cataract ( OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.05-2.65), glaucoma ( OR = 2.97, 95% CI: 1.67-5.30), and coronary heart disease ( OR = 2.56, P < 0.05). Blindness was correlated with age (70-79 years: OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.12-2.11), sex ( OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.34-0.64), glaucoma ( OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 0.42-6.49), diabetes ( OR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.35-3.09), and coronary heart disease ( OR = 1.92, 95% CI: 1.07-3.43). Among these, age (70-79 years), glaucoma, diabetes, and coronary heart disease were identified as risk factors for blindness, while sex was observed as a protective factor against blindness in this region. Based on univariate and multivariate analyses as well as clinical practice, it was concluded that age (50 to < 60 years: OR = 4.42, 95% CI: 1.31-14.92; 60 to < 70 years: OR = 4.49, 95% CI: 1.70-11.84; 70 to < 80 years: OR = 3.19, 95% CI: 1.29-7.87), age-related cataract ( OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.05-2.65), and glaucoma ( OR = 2.97, 95% CI: 1.67-5.30) were identified as significant risk factors for moderate to severe visual impairment. Glaucoma ( OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 0.42-6.49) and diabetes ( OR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.35-3.09) were identified as the main risk factors for blindness in this region (both P < 0.05). Conclusions:In Tacheng City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the prevalence rates of moderate to severe visual impairment and blindness among Han and Kazakh residents are relatively high. Age-related cataracts and glaucoma are the primary causes, while age and diabetes are the main risk factors.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors influencing mortality in neonates undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods:This retrospective study included 34 neonates with a corrected age of≤28 days who received CRRT at the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University, from January 2019 to December 2023. The neonates were divided into a mortality group ( n=16) and a survival group ( n=18) based on whether they died during CRRT. Pre-CRRT blood biochemical indices, general condition, CRRT treatment modes, parameters, and related complications were analyzed using t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, and Chi-square tests. Logistic stepwise regression analysis was used to screen for risk factors associated with CRRT mortality. Results:The mortality rate among the 34 neonates was 48.6% (16/34), with a median CRRT age of 17 days (range: 2-33 days). Eleven neonates (32.3%) were preterm, with the youngest gestational age being 27 weeks and the lowest weight before CRRT initiation being 1 700 g. The mortality group had lower urine output 6-12 hours before CRRT initiation and lower critical illness scores compared to the survival group [0.05 (0.02-1.00) ml/(kg·h) vs. 0.50 (0.20-1.05) ml/(kg·h), (64.50±7.10) scores vs. (77.67±3.65) scores, Z or t values were 10.97 and 3.91, respectively]. However, the vasoactive inotropic score (VIS), proportion of coma, and levels of blood potassium, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood ammonia, blood lactic acid, and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were higher in the mortality group compared to the survival group [ (86.88±15.80) scores vs. (55.56±24.31) scores, 11/16 vs. 1/18, (7.02±1.73) mmol/L vs. (5.88±1.53) mmol/L, 274.55(132.50-664.98) U/L vs. 31.10(19.03-110.70) U/L, 688.20 (449.73-3 618.13) U/L vs. 96.65 (44.15-439.00) U/L, 232.75 (70.33-1 310.85) μmol/L vs.77.70 (49.78-919.05) μmol/L, (11.17±3.36) U/L vs. (7.99±2.67) U/L, and (99.57±39.74) s vs. (60.97±31.25) s, with t, χ2, or Z values of-4.39, 14.81,-2.03,-2.72,-11.81,-3.89,-3.06, and-3.17, respectively] (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that pre-treatment VIS value ( OR=1.150, 95% CI: 1.035-1.278), and blood ammonia level ( OR=1.004, 95% CI: 1.002-1.009) were independent risk factors for mortality (both P<0.05). Conclusions:Neonatal CRRT mortality is associated with pre-treatment VIS scores and blood ammonia levels. Attention should be paid to a rapid decreases in urine output, the intensity of vasopressor support, and elevated levels of blood ammonia, blood lactic acid, transaminases, and APTT at the initiation of treatment.
