Objective To explore the value of combined detection of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2),neuron specific enolase(NSE)and S-100 calcium binding protein β(S-100β)in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of acute cerebral infarction(ACI)in patients with carbon monoxide poisoning(CMP).Methods A total of 102 patients with CMP complicated with ACI admitted to the hospital from Jan-uary 2020 to November 2021 were selected as the study group,meanwhile,102 patients with simple CMP were enrolled as the control group.Patients in the study group were followed up for 6 months after discharge,ac-cording to the follow-up results,they were grouped into good prognosis group(60 cases)and poor prognosis group(42 cases).The serum levels of Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β were detected by enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay(ELISA).The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the value of the combination of serum Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β in the early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of patients with CMP and ACI.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β in the study group were obviously higher(P<0.05).The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the combined detection of serum Lp-PLA2、NSE、S-100β for the diagnosis of CMP complicat-ed with ACI was greater than the AUC of single detection of each indicator(P<0.001).Compared with the good prognosis group,the levels of Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β in the poor prognosis group were obviously higher(P<0.05).The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the combined detection of ser-um Lp-PLA2、NSE、S-100β for the prognosis of patients with CMP complicated with ACI was greater than the AUC of single detection of each indicator(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β in serum of patients with CMP complicated with ACI is high,and the combined detection of the three has certain value in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation for patients with CMP complicated with ACI.

Objective:To investigate the effect of cesarean scar defect and endometrial cavity fluid on the pregnancy outcomes of infertility patients with previous cesarean scar uterus undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Totally 732 cases of patients with previous cesarean scar uterus were selected from frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles in the Fertility Center, Shenzhen Zhongshan Urology Hospital from January 2019 to March 2020. They were divided into four groups: group A ( n=39) including patients with previous cesarean scar defect and without endometrial cavity fluid; group B ( n=82) including patients with previous cesarean scar defect and with endometrial cavity fluid; group C ( n=495) including patients without previous cesarean scar defect and without endometrial cavity fluid; group D ( n=116) including patients without previous cesarean scar defect and with endometrial cavity fluid. The general data and pregnancy outcomes were compared among these groups. Multivariate logistics regression analysis of pregnancy outcome indexes was performed. Results:The transplantation age of group A was higher than that of group B [(38.33±3.55) years vs. (36.93±3.59) years, P=0.045], the endometrial thickness of luteal transformation day and the rate of good-quality embryo transplantation of group C were higher than those of group D [(9.40±1.56) mm vs. (9.03±1.59) mm, P=0.025; 75.76% (375/495) vs. 65.52% (76/116), P=0.024]. The egg retrieval age of group A was higher than that of group C [(37.72±3.55) years vs. (36.25±4.52) years, P=0.049], but the endometrial thickness of luteal transformation day was thinner [(8.74±1.58) mm vs. (9.40±1.56) mm, P=0.012], and the differences were statistically significant. The implantation rate, the biochemical pregnancy rate and the clinical pregnancy rate of group C were higher than those of group D [34.23% (230/672) vs. 22.58% (35/155), P=0.007; 48.28% (239/495) vs. 37.93% (44/116), P=0.044; 42.83% (212/495) vs. 30.17% (35/116), P=0.012]. The early abortion rate in group D was higher than that in group B [40.00% (14/35) vs. 17.24 % (5/29), P=0.047], the difference was statistically significant. Multivariate logistics regression analyses were used with adjustment for possible confounders: the maternal age at embryo transfer, the maternal age at egg retrieval, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH),antral follicle count (AFC), basic follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), endometrial CD138 results, FET protocol, and embryo attributes, the number of embryos transferred, embryo quality, the endometrial thickness and the progesterone value on the day of luteal transformation, the result showed that the implantation rate, the biochemical pregnancy rate and the clinical pregnancy rate of group D were lower than those of group C [22.58% (35/155) vs. 34.23% (230/672), P=0.006; 37.93% (44/116) vs. 48.28% (239/495), P=0.047; 30.17% (35/116) vs. 42.83% (212/495), P=0.022] and the differences were statistically significant. The implantation rate, the biochemical pregnancy rate and the clinical pregnancy rate of group B were higher than those of group D [29.52% (31/105) vs. 22.58% (35/155), P=0.049; 48.78% (40/82) vs. 37.93% (44/116), P=0.012; 35.37% (29/82) vs. 30.17% (35/116), P=0.030] and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion:Endometrial cavity fluid is the main factor that obviously affects the pregnancy outcome of infertility patients with previous cesarean scar uterus undergoing FET cycles.

Objective To identify the main compositions of urinary calculi found in pediatric patients who had the history of exposing to infant formula milk powder contaminated with melamine and try to find out the urinary calculus formation mechanism in these patients.Methods Sixteen patients were studied.These infant patients with urinary calculi due to consumption of melamine tainted milk powder had been admitted to hospital from June,2008 to August,2008.The components of the urinary calculi were separated by liquid chromatograph,and identified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry,electron bombard ionization mass spectrometry,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,and quantitatively determined by liquid chromatograph.Results The main chemical components of the urinary ealculi were melamine and uric acid.The molar ratio of uric acid tO melamine was 2:1.Conclusion The main urinary calculus formation mechanism in infant patients who exposed to the inrant formula milk powder contaminated with melamine is melamine and uric acid formed indissoluble complex.
