Objective To observe the value of fetal MRI in diagnosis of duodenal obstruction(DO).Methods A total of 35 fetuses with suspected DO according to MRI were retrospectively included.The length and the maximum diameter of the dilated duodenum were measured,so as site(categorized in descending order from proximal to distal as descending segment,horizontal segment and ascending duodenum/proximal jejunum)and the degree of obstruction(complete or incomplete)were assessed.Taken findings of labor induction specimen,postnatal neonatal surgery or follow-up data as standards,the positive predictive value(PPV)of MRI for diagnosing fetal DO was calculated,while the correlations of the measured parameters of dilated duodenum and the confirmed obstruction site/degree were analyzed.Results Among 35 fetuses,DO was confirmed in 34 fetuses,yielding an overall PPV of 97.14％(34/35)for MRI.In 34 fetuses with confirmed DO,there were 23 with descending DO(DDO),4 with horizontal DO(HDO)and 7 with ascending DO/proximal jejunum obstruction(ADO/PJO),including 12 with complete DO and 22 with incomplete DO.PPV of MRI for diagnosing DDO,HDO and ADO/PJO was 87.50％(21/24),50.00％(2/4)and 100％(7/7),respectively,for diagnosing complete and incomplete DO was 90.00％(9/10)and 84.00％(21/25),respectively.Both the length and the maximum diameter of fetal proximal dilated duodenum showed on MRI were positively correlated with the actual obstruction site(from proximal to distal)(rs=0.736,P＜0.001;rs=0.424,P=0.011,respectively),but had no significant rank correlation with the degree of obstruction(rs=-0.216,P=0.212;rs=-0.285,P=0.097,respectively).Conclusion Fetal MRI could effectively evaluate the length and the maximum diameter of dilated duodenum hence indicating the level and degree of DO.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of microecological agents combined with dietary fiber in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and its impacts on intestinal flora and inflammatory factors in patients.Methods A total of 80 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were enrolled and randomly divided into dietary fiber group and combination group,with 40 patients in each group.The dietary fiber group received dietary fiber intervention,while the combination group received microecological agents combined with dietary fiber intervention.Nutrient intake,body mass index(BMI),nutritional indicators[albumin(ALB),hemoglobin(Hb),prealbumin(PA)],inflammatory markers[procalcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)],intestinal mucosal barrier function[diamine oxidase(DAO),intestinal fatty acid-binding protein(I-FABP),D-lactic acid(D-LA)],and intestinal bacterial counts were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,BMI and total calorie,intake of fat,carbohydrate,and protein were higher in both groups compared with before intervention,and were higher in the combination group than in the dietary fiber group(P＜0.05).After inter-vention,ALB,Hb,and PA levels were higher in both groups compared with before intervention,and were higher in the combination group than in the dietary fiber group(P＜0.05).After inter-vention,PCT,CRP,and TNF-α levels were lower in both groups compared with before interven-tion,and were lower in the combination group than in the dietary fiber group(P＜0.05).After in-tervention,D-LA levels were higher,and the DAO and I-FABP levels were lower in both groups compared with before intervention(P＜0.05).D-LA levels were higher,while DAO and I-FABP levels were lower in the combination group compared with the dietary fiber group(P＜0.05).After intervention,the number of Escherichia coli and Enterococci were lower in the combination group than in the dietary fiber group,while the number of Lactobacilli,Bifidobacteria,and Bacteroides were high-er(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the total incidence of adverse re-actions or edema status after intervention between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Micro-ecological agents combined with dietary fiber exhibit significant efficacy in the treatment of COPD,which can stabilize the intestinal microbial community,reduce inflammatory responses,and improve nutritional status.

This review aims to provide clinical guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis(AAV)by summarizing recent advances in the research on the immunological aspects of infection and AAV.Literatures are retrieved from PubMed,CNKI,Wanfang and other databases.The search terms are set as"ANCA","vasculitis","infection"and"immunity".The existing literatures are reviewed and analyzed.Infection plays a crucial role throughout the course of AAV,affecting onset,disease activity,treatment and prognosis.Infections are not only significant triggers for the onset of AAV,but also factors that precipitate relapses.Additionally,the immunosuppression involved in AAV treatment increases susceptibility to infections,which can exacerbate AAV.Concurrent infections have become a leading cause of death in AAV patients.The interplay of infection,molecular mimicry,and genetic cross-reactivity represents a primary pathogenic mechanism in AAV.Reducing infection-induced immune responses has a posi-tive implication in the management of AAV.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors and prognosis of early recurrence after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 2 078 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer at six medical centers across China, including Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center et al, between January 2012 and June 2023 were collected. There were 1 449 males and 629 females, aged (59±11) years. Patients were classified as early recurrence and late recurrence based on the time of post-operative recurrence. Observation indicators: (1) comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between gastric cancer patients with different recurrence types; (2) recurrence and metastasis of tumor; (3) survival of patients after postoperative recurrence of gastric cancer; (4) analysis of influencing factors for early recurrence after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the rank sum test. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and plot survival curve, and Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between gastric cancer patients with different recurrence types. Among the 2 078 patients, 1 452 cases had early recurrence and 626 cases had late recurrence. There were significant differences in preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen, preoperative CA19-9, preoperative CA72-4, preoperative albumin, tumor diameter, neoadjuvant therapy, R 0 resection, combined organ resection, scope of gastric resection, nerve and vessel infiltration, degree of tumor differentiation, pathological N staging, pathological TNM staging between early and late recurrence patients ( P<0.05). (2) Recurrence and metastasis of tumor. Among the 2 078 patients, 200 cases had local recurrence, 1 213 cases had hematogenous metastases, 392 cases had distant lymph node metastases, and 731 cases had peritoneal metastases. Among the 1 452 early recurrence patients, 142 cases had local recurrence, 834 cases had hematogenous metastases, 289 cases had distant lymph node metastases, and 507 cases had peritoneal metastases. Among the 626 late recurrence patients, 58 cases had local recurrence, 379 cases had hematogenous metastases, 103 cases had distant lymph node metastases, and 224 cases had peritoneal metastases. One patient may have multiple forms of recurrence and metastasis. There was no significant difference in the above indica-tors between early and late recurrence patients ( χ2=0.13, 1.74, 3.40, 0.14, P>0.05). (3) Survival of patients after postoperative recurrence of gastric cancer. All 2 078 patients were followed up until death after recurrence, with a follow-up time of 31(range, 9?147)months. The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates after recurrence were 33.5%, 17.2%, 10.1%, and 3.3% in early recurrence patients, versus 44.2%, 21.6%, 12.8%, and 5.8% in late recurrence patients, respectively, showing a significant difference in overall survival after recurrence between the two groups ( hazard ratio=0.84, 95% confidence interval as 0.76?0.92, P<0.05). (4) Analysis of influencing factors for early recurrence after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Results of multivariate analysis showed that combined organ resection, total gastrectomy, pathological TNM staging as stage Ⅲ were independent risk factors for early recurrence after gastrectomy for gastric cancer ( odds ratio=1.31, 1.32, 1.34, 95% confidence interval as 1.01?1.70, 1.06?1.65, 1.05?1.71, P<0.05) and normal preoperative tumor markers, neoadjuvant therapy, R 0 resection were independent protective factors for early recurrence ( odds ratio=0.61, 0.50, 0.38, 95% confidence interval as 0.49?0.76, 0.35?0.72, 0.25?0.58, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with patients with late recurrence after gastric cancer surgery, patients with early recurrence have a poor prognosis, in which liver metastases is more common. Combine organ resection, total gastrectomy, pathological TNM staging as stage Ⅲ are independent risk factors for early recurrence, and normal preoperative tumor markers, neoadjuvant therapy, R 0 resection are independent protective factors for early recurrence after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
