Objective To explore the correlation between central venous oxygen saturation(ScvO2)-re-lated indexes at different time points and the occurrence of low cardiac output syndrome(LCOS)after con-genital heart disease(CHD)correction surgery.Methods A total of 73 children who underwent CHD correc-tion surgery in this hospital from July 1st,2021 to July 1st,2024 were selected as the research subjects.The clinical data,preoperative conditions,and postoperative conditions of the children were collected.The ScvO2 and arterial lactate(Lac)levels of the children at different time points(the 1st,6th,12th,and 24th hours after surgery)were monitored,and the ScvO2/Lac at different time points and the change rate of ScvO2 in different time periods were calculated.The correlation between ScvO2-related indexes and LCOS after CHD correction surgery was analyzed.Results ScvO2 at the 6th hour after surgery,ScvO2 at the 12th hour after surgery,Sc-vO2/Lac at the 12th hour after surgery,the change rate of ScvO2 from the 1st to the 24th hour after surgery,the change rate of ScvO2 from the 6th to the 12th hour after surgery,and the change rate of ScvO2 from the 12th to the 24th hour after surgery were independent influencing factors of LCOS occurrence after CHD cor-rection surgery(P＜0.05).There was a negative correlation between ScvO2 at the 12th hour after surgery,ScvO2/Lac and LCOS occurrence after CHD correction surgery(r=-0.543,-0.523,P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of ScvO2 at the 12th hour after surgery for predicting LCOS occurrence after CHD correction surgery was 0.938(95％CI:0.865-1.000);the AUC of ScvO2/Lac at the 12th hour after surgery for predicting LCOS occurrence after CHD correction surgery was 0.922(95％CI:0.851-0.994).Conclusion ScvO2 and ScvO2/Lac at the 12th hour after surgery have good predictive potential for LCOS occurrence af-ter CHD correction surgery.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of pulmonary artery diameter in patients with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection-associated pulmonary hypertension(PAH),and to explore the clinical significance of pulmonary artery diameter correlation indices combined with tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)for early screening and diagnosis of HIV-associated pulmonary hypertension,aiming to provide valuable clinical insights.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 65 HIV-infected patients admitted to the Eighth Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University between May 2017 and December 2023.Based on echocardiog-raphy findings,the patients were categorized into an observation group(23 cases with PAH)and a control group(42 cases without PAH).Measurements of pulmonary artery diameter(PA),distal pulmonary artery diameter(dPA),and aortic diameter were obtained in both groups,and the ratio of dPA to aortic diameter(rPA)was cal-culated.Additionally,serum TNF-α levels were recorded.The clinical significance of each index in early screening and diagnosis of HIV-related pulmonary hypertension was analyzed.Results The PA,dPA,rPA,and TNF-α levels in the observation group were significantly higher compared to those in the control group.Pearson linear correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between TNF-α and both dPA and rPA.Two-column correlation analysis demonstrated a significant association between HIV-PAH and PA,dPA,rPA,as well as TNF-α(P<0.05).The combined measurement of serum TNF-α with dPA and rPA exhibited an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.891 for diagnosing HIV-APAH,with a sensitivity of 0.870 and specificity of 0.881.Conclusion The combination of pulmonary artery diameter and TNF-α provides a more accurate indication of the presence of HIV-PAH,enabling early screening,follow-up,or intervention in high-risk patients.This finding holds significant implications for enhancing patient prognosis.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of MR elastography and diffusion?weighted imaging in patients with liver fibrosis in the context of chronic hepatitis B. Methods Twenty?four patients with chronic hepatitis B, whose course of liver disease was more than 6 months and hepatitis B surface antigen was positive, were prospectively enrolled in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July to December 2017. All of the patients underwent abdominal transient elastography (TE), routine MRI, magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and DWI examination, TE and MRI were performed within one week. TE liver stiffness was measured, the MRE liver stiffness and ADC value were measured on MR imagings. All patients were divided into three groups: mild and non fibrosis (F0 to 1), significant fibrosis(F2 to 3) and cirrhosis (F4), according to the recommended standard of FibroTouch. Correlation between TE liver stiffness, MRE liver stiffness and ADC values were identified by using Spearman correlation test. The difference of the MRE liver stiffness and ADC value among the three groups was tested using independent sample t test. The overall predictive ability of MRE and DWI in assessment of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis was analyzed by constructing ROC curve. Results TE and MRI were successfully performed in all subjects, and the image quality was good. The MRE liver stiffness in mild and non fibrosis, significant fibrosis and cirrhosis was (2.32±0.31),(3.43±1.05),(4.77±0.68) kPa with statistically significant difference(F=61.690, P<0.01). The ADC values in three groups were (1.31 ± 0.14)×10-3, (1.23 ± 0.15)×10-3,(1.22±0.12)×10-3mm2/s without significant difference(F=1.074,P=0.360). The TE liver stiffness in three groups was (5.61±1.05),(9.56±0.57),(17.25±3.55)kPa, respectively, there was significant correlation between the MRE liver stiffness and the TE liver stiffness(t=0.858, P<0.01), but no significant correlation between the TE liver stiffness and the ADC value was found (r=-0.326,P=0.120). The area under ROC of MRE liver stiffness in diagnosing liver fibrosis grade (≥F2 and F4) was 0.96 and 1.00 respectively, while the AUC of ADC value was less than 0.70, which were 0.67 and 0.62 respectively. Conclusion MRE is a non?invasive promising tool for assessing liver fibrosis with chronic hepatitis B, while DWI has limited role.
