Objective:To construct a risk model of liver injury related to parenteral nutrition (PNALD) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:The clinical data of 176 SAP patients admitted to the 971 Hospital of Navy from January 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively collected. According to whether PNALD occurred or not, the patients were divided into liver injury group ( n=33) and non-liver injury group ( n=143). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PNALD in SAP patients. Then decision tree model and multivariate logistic regression model were established based on the screened risk factors. Hosmer and Lemeshow Test calibration curves were used to calibrate the two models, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to compare the prediction efficiency of the two models. Results:Drinking history (history of alcohol intake), serum albumin / globulin ratio ≤1.45, prothrombin time (PT)≥18.52 s, PT activity ≤48.96, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≥45.91 s were all risk factors for PNALD. The ROC curve of the multivariate logistic regression model and the decision tree model was drawn, and calculated AUC of the two models was 0.851 and 0.906, respectively; the sensitivity was 79.6% and 80.8%, respectively; the specificity was 80.5% and 79.6%, respectively; and the Youden index was 0.601 and 0.604, respectively, with good consistency.Conclusions:Low serum albumin/globulin ratio and PT activity, high PT and APTT are all risk factors for PNALD. The PNALD prediction model based on the above risk factors has high specificity and sensitivity.

To analyse and compare the characteristics of the intestinal absorption of puerarin, baicalin, berberine and liquiritin in different combinations of Gegenqinlian decoction based on pharmacokinetic parameters, a sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was applied for the quantification of four components in rat's plasma. And pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from the plasma concentration-time data with the DAS software package. The influence of different combinations on pharmacokinetics of four components was studied to analyse and compare the absorption difference of four components, together with the results of the in vitro everted gut model and the rat single pass intestinal perfusion model. The results showed that compared with other combinations, the AUC values of puerarin, baicalin and berberine were increased significantly in Gegenqinlian decoction group, while the AUC value of liquiritin was reduced. Moreover, the absorption of four components was increased significantly supported by the results from the in vitro everted gut model and the rat single pass intestinal perfusion model, which indicated that the Gegenqinlian decoction may promote the absorption of four components and accelerate the metabolism of liquiritin by the cytochrome P450.

Objective To study the type and corresponding clinical characteristics of primary hemophagocytic lymphohistocytosis (HLH) associated immune gene mutations in the refractory virus infection or HLH of unknown causes. Methods From December 2009 to July 2010, the patients with refractory virus infection or HLH of unknown causes were screened for the primary HLH associated immune genes mutations by DNA sequence analysis, including PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, STXBP2, SH2D1A and XIAP. The clinical characteristics and outcomes were followed up. Results Totally 25 patients with refractory virus infection or HLH of unknown causes were investigated for the 6 genes and 13 cases were found carrying gene mutations, composing of 6 of PRF1 mutation, 3 of UNC13D, and each one of STX11,XIAP, SH2D1A and STXBP2, respectively. Among the 13 cases with gene mutations, 5 suffered from Epstein-Barr virus associated HLH( EBV-HLH), 1 human herpes virus 7 associated HLH (HHV7-HLH),1 HLH without causes, 4 chronic activated EB virus infection (CAEBV) with 1 progressing to Hodgkin's lymphoma carrying abnormal chromosome of t ( 15; 17 ) (q22; q25 ) and hyperdiploid, 2 EBV associated lymphoma. Among the other 12 patients without gene mutation, 4 suffered from EBV-HLH with 1 progressing to peripheral T lymphoma, 8 suffered from CAEBV. Conclusions Primary HLH associated immune gene mutations are critical causes of refractory virus infection of unknown causes, most patients manifest as HLH,some cases appear in CAEBV and EBV associated lymphoma. DNA sequence analysis is helpful to early diagnosis and correct decision-making for treatment.

Objective To establish the reference ranges of the spatial angles among cardiac chambers and great vessels in second and third trimester fetuses measured by spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC).Methods Volume images of 352 normal fetuses from 20 to 38 weeks of gestation were recruited in the study.An off-line analysis of acquired volume datasets was carried out with multiplanar mode.Parameters measured included angles between:(1) the 4-chamber view and the left ventricular long axis view; (2) the left ventricular long axis view and main pulmonary artery; and (3) the ductal arch and aortic arch.The relationships between above-mentioned angles and gestational age were assessed by correlation and regression analysis.Results The angle between the 4-chamber view and the left ventricular long axis view (range:55.7° - 35.7°,mean:45.7° ± 5.12°) was uncorrelated with gestational age (r = 0.03,P = 0.51).In contrast,the angle between the left ventricular long axis view and main pulmonary artery,and the angle between the ductal arch and aortic arch were correlated with gestational age (P < 0.001),and the correlation coefficient was - 0.53 and 0.57 respectively.The best-fit exponential curve regression equations of the angle between the left ventricular long axis view and main pulmonary artery was:Y = 154- 4.24X +0.05X2 ,and the angle between the ductal arch and aortic arch was:Y = - 20.8 + 2.65X - 0.37X2.Conclusions The angles among cardiac chambers and great arteries of fetuses from 20 to 38 weeks of gestation can be quantitatively measured by STIC.The reference ranges provide a reliable quantitative standard to estimate the spatial relationships of the cardiac large arteries of fetuses,which may be clinically useful in prenatal screening congenital heart disease.
