Hyperkalemia is one of the common ion metabolism disorders in clinical practice. Hyperkalemia is defined as serum potassium higher than 5.0 mmol/L according to the guidelines at home and abroad. Acute severe hyperkalemia can cause serious consequences, such as flaccid paralysis, fatal arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest. The use of renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system inhibitors, β-blockers and diuretics, low-sodium and high-potassium diets, and the presence of related comorbidities increase the occurrence of hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia risk exist in all clinical departments, but there is a lack of a standardization in the management of multi- department cooperation in hospital. Therefore, a number of domestic nephrology and cardiology department experts have discussed a management model for multi-department cooperation in hyperkalemia, formulating the management standard on hospital evaluation, early warning, diagnosis and treatment, and process. This can promote each department to more effectively participate in nosocomial hyperkalemia diagnosis and treatment, as well as the long-term management of chronic hyperkalemia, improving the quality of hyperkalemia management in hospital.

The genomic characteristics and cellular tropism of a Mangshi virus(MSV)isolated in China were investigated,thereby establishing a robust foundation for further research on the evolution and pathogenicity of MSV.The genome sequence of MSV strain V301/YNJH/2019 was obtained by next-generation sequencing,followed by phylogenetic tree construction and rearrangement assessment using software IQtree,RPD4,and Simplot.Viral proliferation was assessed in C6/36(Aedes albop-ictus),Vero(African green monkey kidney),and BHK(baby hamster kidney)cells.An initial epidemiological investigation of MSV in local cattle and goats was conducted using the serum neutralization test.The genome of MSV strain V301/YNJ H/2019 was 20623 bp in length,encompassing 12 segments of double-stranded RNA(Seg-1 to Seg-12).Sequence analysis confirmed genomic rearrangement of the Seg-1 and Seg-11 sequences,ex-hibiting high similarity to MSV isolated from lake sediment in China in 2022,while Seg-2 to Seg-10 and Seg-12 were most closely related to a MSV strain isolated from mosquitoes in China in 2013.The virus efficiently proliferated and induced sig-nificant cytopathic effects(CPE)in both C6/36 and BHK cells,but limited replication and no observable CPE in Vero cells.No detectable neutralizing antibodies against MSV were detected in 20 goat serum samples collected in Mangshi,while 2 of 20 bo-vine serum samples were positive with neutralizing antibody titers of 1:128 and 1:54.Whole genome sequencing revealed re-assortment events of the V301/YNJH/2019 strain,which is capable of infecting C6/36,BHK,and Vero cells.MSV infection was confirmed in cattle in Mangshi.

Objective:To evaluate the value of MAGiC STIR sequence inassessing bone marrow edema (BME) of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients.Methods:Twenty two AS patients from the Affiliated Fifth Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from September 2019 to January 2020 underwent MR scanning, consisting of T 2WI fat-suppressed (FS) sequence and MAGiC sequence. Each SIJ was divided into four quadrants for analysis on oblique coronal MR image. Two radiologists [middle-higher seniority levels (radiologist 1 and radiologist 2) reviewed image sets of two sequences [T 2WI FS and MAGiC short T 1 inversion recovery (STIR) sequence] independently at separate times, using Hermann-Braun scoring system for degree of BME and summing numbers of quadrants based on BME findings. Disagreements were resolved to reach an agreement for final results.Assessments were repeated two weeks later by radiologist 2. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to assess the inter-and intra-observer agreement for the degree of BME and numbers of positive BME quadrants in the MAGiC STIR sequence, respectively. The differences between the two sequences for the degree of BME and numbers of positive BME quadrants were analyzed with Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Chi-square test, respectively. Taking the results of T 2WI FS sequence as a reference standard, the ROC curve was drawn, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value in the detection of BME were calculated for the MAGiC STIR sequence. Results:Nineteen AS patients including 38 sacroiliac joints were enrolled in our study, being divided into 152 quadrants. Inter-and intra-observer agreement for the degree of BME and inter-observer agreement for numbers of positive BME quadrants in the MAGiC STIR sequence were all good (ICC=0.936, 95%CI 0.912-0.953, P<0.001; ICC=0.910, 95%CI 0.878-0.934, P<0.001; ICC=0.876, 95%CI 0.833-0.909, P<0.001). The difference between the two sequences for the degree of BME in quadrants was statistically significant ( Z=-3.132, P=0.002). But there was no statistically significant difference between sequences for numbers of quadrants in detecting BME (χ2=0.244, P=0.622). Area under the ROC curve of MAGiC STIR sequence in diagnosis of BME was 0.920 ( P<0.001). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for the MAGiC STIR sequence in the detection of BME were 82.0%, 95.1%, 89.1% and 91.5%, respectively. Conclusion:MAGiC STIR sequence can be used to evaluate bone marrow edema of SIJ in AS patients with high sensitivity and specificity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of 3-dimensional CT angiography(3D-CTA) in the repair of mandibular defects with deep circumflex iliac arterial flaps.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, 5 patients with postoperative defects of mandibular tumors were treated in the Department of Stomatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, including 2 males and 3 females. The ages of the patients ranged from 30 to 70 years, with an average of 52 years. CT angiography of both lower limbs was performed before operation. Data were processed using the CT workstation. According to the size and shape of the defect in the recipient site, the 3D model of the deep circumflex iliac arterial flap(DCIA) was constructed. the contour of the DCIA was observed and measured, and the data was recorded, including the diameter of the vassel at the starting point, the angle between the line from the starting point to the anterior superior iliac spine and the line between the bilateral anterior superior iliac spine, and the distance from the starting point to the anterior superior iliac spine. According to the 3D model, a composite tissue flap pedicled with DCIA was designed and prepared for mandibular defect repair. The actual situation during the procedure was compared with the preoperative 3D model simultaneously.Results:The diameter of the DCIA at the starting point was (2.30±0.24) mm. The angle between the line from the starting point to the anterior superior iliac spine and the line between the bilateral anterior superior iliac spine was 39.3°±6.1°, and the distance from the starting point to the anterior superior iliac spine was (5.83±0.24) cm. The shape and position of the DCIA were basically consistent with the three-dimensional model. All the flaps survived well after operation. All the patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months, the bilateral maxillofacial region were basically symmetrical. The postoperative imaging examination showed that the iliac osteocutaneous flap healed well, and the height and width of mandibular alveolar ridge were restored satisfactorily. There were no complications such as numbness in the donor site, abdominal hernia and gait abnormality.Conclusions:The 3D model of the DCIA produced by 3D-CTA can accurately locate the position and route of the vessel, clearly display the three-dimensional spatial relationship between the skin, muscles and bones around the target blood vessel, and significantly reduce the complications and operative time.

Objective::Bioinformatic analysis was used to compare the gene expression profile between asthma patients and healthy people, and the gene characteristics of asthma were preliminarily identified and the potential mechanism and drugs were revealed. Method::The GSE74986 gene expression profile was downloaded from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed by GEO2R. Then the gene heat map of DEGs was made by Morpheus, and their gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analysis were performed by DAVID 6.8. Moreover, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and hub genes were constructed by String 10.5. Finally, the significant modules were analyzed by MCODE in Cytoscape 3.6.1, small molecule drugs related to asthma were screened through Coremine Medical. Result::A total of 510 DEGs were screened, including 29 up-regulated genes and 481 down-regulated genes. DEGs were mainly involved in these biological processes and pathways, including chromatin silencing, transcriptional regulation of RNA polymerase Ⅱ promoter, protein transport, messenger RNA (mRNA) processing, RNA splicing, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, RNA transport, and myeloid differentiation factor (MyD)-dependent Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, platelet activation, nucleotide binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor signaling pathway and so on. A total of 9 hub genes were obtained, including T-complex protein 1 subunit theta (CCT8), T-complex protein 1 subunit alpha (TCP1), 26S protease regulatory subunit S10B (PSMC6), heat shock protein 90 alpha (HSP90A)A1, cell cycle protein C (CCNC), HSP90AB1, 26S proteasome non-ATPase regulatory subunit 6 (PSMD6), ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14) and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (EIF4E). Two important modules were obtained. The genes in two modules mainly involved these biological process, such as splice, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, protein modification, RNA modification and so on. Some potential molecular drugs for the treatment of asthma, such as anisomycin and genistein, have been developed. Conclusion::DEGs and hub genes can contribute to understanding the molecular mechanism of asthma and providing potential therapeutic targets and drugs for the diagnosis and treatment of asthma.
