Objective:To construct and validate a three-level early warning model of moderate to severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in assisted reproductive technology.Methods:A case-control study was conducted. Totally 10 181 infertility patients who underwent in vitro fertilization treatment in Reproductive Medicine Center, Women and Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University from April 2013 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into modeling group (8 145 cases) and validation group (2 036 cases) by random number table method. The clinical data of the two groups were analyzed, and the risk factors affecting the occurrence of moderate and severe OHSS after oocytes retrieval were screened by multi-factor logistic regression analysis. The early warning model was established and the column diagram was drawn at three nodes which were before ovarian stimulation, before trigger and 3 d after oocyte retrieval. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were used to verify the models. Results:The antral follicle count (AFC, OR=1.045, 95% CI: 1.020-1.071, P<0.001), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)>3.36 μg/L ( OR=7.135, 95% CI: 2.084-24.432, P=0.002) and number of cycles ( OR=0.149, 95% CI: 0.022-1.026, P=0.049) were included in the pre-stimulation prediction model. AFC ( OR=1.046, 95% CI: 1.018-1.074, P=0.001), AMH>3.36 μg/L ( OR=5.780, 95% CI: 1.661-20.116, P=0.006), gonadotropin releasing hormone-agonist protocols ( OR=3.895, 95% CI=1.913-7.931, P<0.001), estrogen peak≥18 350 pmol/L ( OR=2.258, 95% CI: 1.092-4.666, P=0.028), the number of follicles with a diameter of ≥10 mm>20 ( OR=2.377, 95% CI: 1.092-5.172, P=0.029) were included in the pre-trigger prediction model. AMH>3.36 μg/L ( OR=8.374, 95% CI: 2.417-29.019, P=0.001), estrogen peak≥18 350 pmol/L ( OR=3.947, 95% CI: 1.533-10.167, P=0.004), total number of oocytes retrived ( OR=1.042, 95% CI: 0.996-1.090, P=0.025), abdominal distension ( OR=60.181, 95% CI: 22.515-160.854, P<0.001), fresh transplantation ( OR=21.766, 95% CI: 7.119-66.544, P<0.001), human chorionic gonadotropin trigger ( OR=17.752, 95% CI: 3.993-78.924, P<0.001) were included in the prediction model of 3 d after oocyte retrieval. The areas under ROC curves of the three models were 0.830 (95% CI: 0.782-0.878), 0.859 (95% CI: 0.812-0.906) and 0.948 (95% CI: 0.919-0.977), respectively. The areas under ROC curves of the validation groups of the three models were 0.922 (95% CI: 0.880-0.965), 0.936 (95% CI: 0.886-0.986), and 0.971 (95% CI: 0.938-0.999), respectively. The calibration curve indicated that the early-warning evaluation model has good stability. Conclusion:The three-level early warning model of moderate and severe OHSS has good differentiation, reliable predictability and clinical practicability, which is conducive to the dynamic and continuous assessment of the risk of moderate and severe OHSS, adjustment of treatment plan at any time, and timely adoption of effective preventive measures.

Objective:To explore the effects of medication interval on the quality of split-dose bowel preparation and analyze the independent risk factors affecting the quality of bowel preparation.Methods:This pilot study involved two centers. Adult outpatients who underwent screening, surveillance, and diagnostic colonoscopy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University ( n=46) and the Fifth Hospital of Zhangjiakou ( n=20) between April and June 2023 were enrolled. Bowel preparation was conducted based on the guideline. Patients were divided into the short-interval group (4-<10 hours, n=45) and the long-interval group (10-16 hours, n=21) based on the time between the two administrations of polyethylene glycol during bowel preparation. Differences in terms of patient-reported outcome measurements (patient-reported willingness to repeat the bowel preparation regimen, satisfaction with bowel preparation, satisfaction with sleep), defecation frequency, Boston bowel preparation scale scores, bowel preparation bubble scores, bowel preparation qualified rates, polyp detection rates and incidence of adverse events were compared. Relevant factors influencing bowel preparation quality were analyzed by univariate logistic regression. Results:There were no significant differences in patient-reported willingness to repeat the bowel preparation regimen [88.9% (40/45) VS 85.7% (18/21), χ2<0.001, P>0.999], the satisfaction with bowel preparation [65.9% (29/45) VS 57.1% (12/21), χ2=0.469, P=0.493], or the satisfaction with sleep quality [35.6% (16/45) VS 28.6% (6/21), χ2=0.314, P=0.575] between the short-interval and long-interval groups. Similarly, no significant differences were observed between the groups in defecation frequency (11.3±4.8 VS 10.2±4.4, t=0.861, P=0.395), Boston bowel preparation scale scores (8.2±1.4 scores VS 7.9±1.2 scores, t=1.024, P=0.311), bowel preparation bubble scores (8.6±1.0 scores VS 8.4±1.5 scores, t=0.672, P=0.506), bowel preparation qualified rates [88.9% (40/45) VS 90.5% (19/21), χ2<0.001, P>0.999], polyp detection rates [33.3% (15/45) VS 47.6% (10/21), χ2=1.242, P=0.265], or incidence of adverse events [24.4% (11/45) VS 14.3% (3/21), χ2=0.381, P=0.537]. Univariate logistic analysis suggested that a low-fiber diet ( OR=8.100, 95% CI:1.400-46.849, P=0.019) was an influencing factor for qualified bowel preparation. Conclusion:Medication interval of the two doses of polyethylene glycol in a split-dose bowel preparation regimen for colonoscopy has no significant impact on bowel preparation quality. Notably, preoperative low-fiber diet emerges as an independent protective factor for qualified bowel preparation.

China prospective multicenter birth cohort (Prospective Omics Health Atlas birth cohort, POHA birth cohort) study was officially launched in 2022. This study, in collaboration with 12 participating units, aims to establish a high-quality, multidimensional cohort comprising 20 000 naturally conceived families and assisted reproductive families. The study involves long-term follow-up of parents and offspring, with corresponding biological samples collected at key time points. Through multi-omics testing and analysis, the study aims to conduct multi-omics big data research across the entire maternal and infant life cycle. The goal is to identify new biomarkers for maternal and infant diseases and provide scientific evidence for risk prediction related to maternal diseases and neonatal health.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the thickening of sinus membrane,which is also named Sch-neiderian membrane(SM),in patients and its relationship with periapical lesions(PAL)in the posterior maxillary region to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.Methods A retrospective anal-ysis was conducted on 554 cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)imaging data of maxillary sinuses from 301 pa-tients who met the inclusion criteria to determine the correlation between PAL and SM thickening in the posterior maxil-lary region.Cases of pathological SM were recorded and classified on the basis of the degree and type of SM thickening.The correlation between SM thickening and the diameter of PAL,the relationship between the upper edge of PAL and the maxillary sinus floor,and its relationship with whether affected teeth with PAL undergo root canal treat-ment were evaluated.Results The detection rate of SM thickening in patients with PAL was significantly higher than in those without PAL,so PAL was correlated with SM thickening.Analysis on the correlation between PAL detection indi-cators and SM thickening degree showed that SM thickening degree was positively correlated with PAL diameter(cone beam computed tomography-periapical index)and not correlated with the three spread effects between the upper edge of PAL and the maxillary sinus floor,as well as whether the teeth with PAL undergo root canal treatment.The correlation analysis between PAL detection indicators and SM thickening types showed that whether the teeth with PAL undergo root canal treatment was not correlated with SM thickening types,and the diameter of PAL,the three spread effects be-tween the upper edge of PAL,and the maxillary sinus floor were not correlated with SM thickening types.Conclusion The PAL of posterior maxillary teeth is closely related to SM thickening,and the diameter of PAL is positively correlated with the degree of SM thickening.Patients with PAL who have undergone root canal treatment often exhibit SM polyp thickening.In addition,the relationship between the upper edge of PAL and the maxillary sinus floor does not affect the possibility of SM development.

Infectious bone defect is bone defect with infection or as a result of treatment of bone infection. It requires surgical intervention, and the treatment processes are complex and long, which include bone infection control,bone defect repair and even complex soft tissue reconstructions in some cases. Failure to achieve the goals in any step may lead to the failure of the overall treatment. Therefore, infectious bone defect has been a worldwide challenge in the field of orthopedics. Conventionally, sequestrectomy, bone grafting, bone transport, and systemic/local antibiotic treatment are standard therapies. Radical debridement remains one of the cornerstones for the management of bone infection. However, the scale of debridement and the timing and method of bone defect reconstruction remain controversial. With the clinical application of induced membrane technique, effective infection control and rapid bone reconstruction have been achieved in the management of infectious bone defect. The induced membrane technique has attracted more interests and attention, but the lack of understanding the basic principles of infection control and technical details may hamper the clinical outcomes of induced membrane technique and complications can possibly occur. Therefore, the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized domestic orthopedic experts to formulate An evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique ( version 2023) according to the evidence-based method and put forward recommendations on infectious bone defect from the aspects of precise diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, operation procedure, postoperative management and rehabilitation, so as to provide useful references for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique.

Objective:To summarize the results of surgical treatment for complete atrioventricular septal defect(CAVSD) in early and middle stages.Methods:147 children with CAVSD in Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center from January 2010 to December 2019 were selected, Males 85, females 62, median age of surgery 5 months(1 months-10 years old), median body mass 5.5 kg(2.4-20.9 kg). Complete atrioventricular septal defect was diagnosed by ultrasonic cardiogram before surgery. All the children underwent atrial ventricular valve formation and underwent simultaneous repair.Outpatient follow-up was planned.Ultrasonic cardiogram and electrocardiogram were performed. SPSS 22 statistical software was used for data analysis.Results:All 147 CAVSD patients underwent one-time surgical correction.Early postoperative death occurred in 7 cases(4.76%). The causes of death were: 3 cases of pulmonary hypertension crisis, 3 cases of severe mitral insufficiency(MI), 1 case of postoperative malignant arrhythmia, and the rest of the children were cured and discharged. Permanent pacemaker was installed in 3 patients due to atrioventricular block(AVB). The follow-up time was 1-10 years old, and 2 patients died in late stage: 1 patient did not seek medical treatment in time due to infection, and 1 patient had unknown cause. Five patients underwent secondary surgery: 4 due to severe mitral/tricuspid insufficiency(MI/TI) and 1 due to delayed AVB. The mid-term follow-up showed 9 cases of severe MI and 4 cases of severe TI. Compared with children with surgical age<3 months and ≥3 months, there were statistically significant differences in postoperative ventilator-assisted ventilation time, severe MI before postoperative discharge and total mortality between the two groups( P<0.05). Mid-term follow-up results showed no difference between the two groups. There were statistically significant differences in surgical age, postoperative CICU stay time and total hospital stay between the children with trisomy 21-syndrome and those without trisomy 21-syndrome( P<0.05), and there was no difference between the two groups in mid-term follow-up results. Residual shunt of 1-3 mm VSD was found in 29 cases, 26 cases were closed during follow-up, and 3 cases had smaller residual shunt. Conclusion:Modified single patch technique treatment of CAVSD has good effect, low mortality and low re-operation rate. But age <3 months group, infant mortality was significantly increased, the duration of postoperative mechanical assisted ventilation was prolonged, and the proportion of early postoperative severe MI was high.Severe MI and TI is easy to occur after CAVSD, which requires long-term follow-up and timely treatment. The children with trisomy 21-syndrome were similar to those with normal chromosome except for longer stay in ICU and total hospital stay.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of gut microbiota in the preoperative, short-term postoperative and long-term postoperative period at (15.61±4.51) months in children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) of congenital heart disease (CHD) treated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods:A prospective study was conducted.In Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center, 13 patients with VSD who were scheduled for CPB and additional 10 age- and gender-matched healthy infants as pre-CPB control group from January 2021 to January 2022 were enrolled.Fecal samples were collected at pre- and early post-CPB.Meanwhile, 18 gender- and CHD diagnosis and operation-matched patients at (15.61±4.51) months after CPB and 8 healthy age- and gender-matched children as long-term control group after CPB were also enrolled, and fecal samples were collected.16S rRNA sequencing of fecal samples from all subjects were performed and comparing the differences in gut microbiota between two groups via comparing alpha and beta diversity, parameter test or nonparametric test, and LEfSe analysis.Results:Compared with those of pre-CPB control group, there was a significant difference in the composition of gut microbiota in the preoperative period of VSD children, with significantly increased abundances of Enterobacteriaceae and Shigella, and decreased abundance of Bifidobacterium (all P<0.05). The diversity of gut microbiota was comparable in VSD children before CPB and in the short period time after CPB (all P>0.05), except for the abundances of Clostridium and Streptococcus (all P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the relative abundances of other highly abundant gut bacteria between the two periods (all P>0.05). Compared with that in VSD children in the short period time after CPB, the abundances of short-chain fatty acids-producing microbes were significantly higher at (15.61±4.51) months postoperatively (all P<0.05), and the gut bacteria profile was similar to that of the long-term control group after CPB (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Gut microbiota imbalance exists in VSD children before CPB.The gut microbiota profile is not influenced by CPB, which returns normal at (15.61±4.51) months postoperatively.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and management strategies of the patients who were injured in winter snow sports in parts of Qingdao in order to provide useful information for "300 million people participating in ice and snow sports" .Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 128 patients who had been admitted to Department of Orthopaedics, Qingdao Central Hospital for skiing injuries from November 2019 to March 2021. The gender, type, location and cause of injury, and treatment method of the patients were statistically analyzed.Results:Of the 128 patients, 72 were males and 56 females with an age of (32.0±12.1) years. Single injury accounted for 97.66% (125/128) while multiple injuries 2.34% (3/128). 46 injuries (35.11%, 46/131) due to single board skiing occurred in 44 patients (34.38%, 44/128); 85 injuries (64.89%, 85/131) due to double board skiing occurred in 84 cases (65.62%, 84/128). As for injury types, there were 44 cases (34.38%, 44/128) of soft tissue injury and 84 fractures (65.62%, 84/128). The top 3 injured locations were the lower leg (24.43%, 32/131), the peri-wrist part (18.32%, 24/131), and the peri-knee part (15.27%, 20/131). The most vulnerable location was, respectively, the wrist joint (26.09%, 12/46) in single board skiing and the calf (31.76%, 27/85) in double board skiing. The top three causes of injury were accidental fall (39.06%, 50/128), being struck by someone or emergency evacuation (14.84%, 19/128), and mismatched equipment models (12.50%, 16/128). The proportion of skiing beginners was as high as 76.56% (98/128). Surgical treatment was performed in 49 cases (38.28%, 49/128), and conservative treatment in 79 cases (61.72%, 79/128).Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of the patients who were injured in winter snow sports in parts of Qingdao are high proportions of skiing beginners, falls and fractures. Special attention needs to be paid to wrist protection in single board skiing and checking the ski disengagement device before double board skiing. Most patients may need only conservative treatment because although a number of patients required surgical treatment, severe multiple injuries were rare.
