Objective:To establish a normal data model of fetal right ventricular size and function using echocardiography,and to explore the clinical value of quantitative assessment of right ventricular size and function in the diagnosis of congenital heart diseases.Methods:(1)A simple random sampling method was employed to collect 1 004 pregnant women with normal singleton pregnancies at 24 to 32 +6 weeks of gestation who underwent fetal cardiac ultrasound examinations at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2021 to December 2023. Two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography were used to measure the right ventricular end-diastolic diameter(RVEDD),right ventricular end-diastolic area(RVEDA),tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion(TAPSE)during systole,and the right ventricular fractional area change(RVFAC)was calculated. The correlations between the above parameters and ultrasound gestational age(USGA)were analyzed. Moreover,percentile growth curves for each parameter were plotted. With the above parameters as dependent variables and the USGA as the independent variable,a Z-score model was established through regression analysis.(2)A stratified sampling method was adopted to select 30 fetuses diagnosed with hypoplastic right heart syndrome(HRHS)and 30 fetuses diagnosed with pulmonary stenosis(PS)during the same period as the case group. The model was verified,and the morphological and functional characteristics of the right ventricle were analyzed. Results:The data of RVEDD,RVEDA,TAPSE,and RVFAC in normal fetuses showed a skewed distribution. Each parameter showed good linear correlations with USGA( r=0.836,0.834,0.846,0.242;all P<0.001). The constructed percentile curves for each parameter indicated that RVEDD,RVEDA and TAPSE increased significantly with the growth of USGA,while RVFAC showed a slow downward trend. All parameters in the HRHS group and TAPSE and RVFAC in the PS group deviated significantly from the normal reference range(all P<0.001). Conclusions:By analyzing RVEDD,RVEDA,TAPSE and RVFAC of normal fetuses,the percentile and Z-score normal reference value models of multiple parameters of fetal right ventricular size and function have been established,providing corresponding standards for quantitative analysis.

This paper reports a successful limb salvage and fetal preservation in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Zhengzhou Renji Hospital, for a 31-year old pregnant woman who was in the second trimester of pregnancy and suffered a severe destructive injury of left lower limb in July 2019. After thorough debridement and proper fracture fixation, microsurgical and Ilizarove techniques were applied to reconstruct bone and large soft tissue defects as well as the limb functions. Postoperative rehabilitation was conducted. A boy was delivered by cesarean section at 35 weeks. Osteotomy of femur, tibia and fibula and fixation with external fixator were performed at 6 months after surgery. The femoral external fixator was removed at 11 months after surgery, and the calf external fixator was removed at 18 months after surgery. At the 3-year postoperative follow-up, the boy was in good intellectual development, and had good appearance and satisfactory functional recovery of the affected lower limb.

Objective:To explore the effect of grasping force circle training based on knowledge, attitude and practice theory in lung cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter.Methods:From March 2020 to December 2021, a total of 90 lung cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter in the Second People's Hospital of Datong were selected as the research objects using the convenient sampling method, and were divided into the control group and the observation group by the random number table method, with 45 cases each. The control group adopted routine grasping force circle training, and the observation group conducted grasping force circle training based on knowledge, attitude and practice theory. The scores of knowledge, attitude and practice, self-management ability and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the scores of knowledge, attitude and behavior of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of compliance of catheter maintenance, abnormal handling, confidence of catheter management, exercise of catheter, daily observation of catheter, information acquisition and daily life of catheter of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the incidence of complications of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Grasping force circle training based on knowledge, attitude and practice theory can improve the knowledge, attitude and practice level of lung cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter, improve their self-management ability, and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective:To evaluate the left ventricular myocardial strain in patients with light chain cardiac amyloidosis (AL-CA) with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging(3D-STI), and to explore the clinical value of 3D-STI in predicting the prognosis of AL-CA patients with normal LVEF.Methods:A total of 80 patients with AL-CA and LVEF≥50% were retrospectively analyzed in the Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from October 2014 to May 2020.According to whether the patients had endpoint events, they were divided into endpoint event group and non-endpoint event group. The clinical data, conventional echocardiographic parameters, 3D-STI related parameters and follow-up results were collected. Cox regression proportional hazards model was used to analyze the survival status of AL-CA patients with univariate and multivariate regression analyses, in order to find the relevant indicators of conventional echocardiography and 3D-STI to predict adverse events.Results:All patients were followed up for 20(7.3, 40.8) months. At the end of follow-up, 25 patients had all-cause deaths. Compared with the non-endpoint group, the endpoint event group had significantly increased left ventricular end diastolic maximum wall thickness (MLVWT), peak early diastolic flow velocity/peak early diastolic velocity at mitral annulus(E/e′) (all P<0.05), and decreased LVEF, left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and basal segment longitudinal strain (LS) (all P<0.05). Multivariate cox regression analysis after adjusting for age and gender showed that basal segment LS ( HR=0.812, 95% CI=0.675-0.976, P=0.026) was an independent predictor of end-point events in patients with AL-CA. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that AL-CA patients with basal segment LS≤13.07% were more likely to have endpoint events. Conclusions:Basal segment LS can be used as a predictor of endpoint events in patients with AL-CA.
