Objective:To explore the value of contrast-enhaoced echocardiography for measuring pulmonary transit time(PTT)in assessing heart failure after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)patients.Methods:From September 2023 to September 2024,120 patients with STEMI undergoing PCI at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital were prospectively selected and divided into a heart failure group( n=42)and a non-heart failure group( n=78)according to the guidelines. The differences in general clinical data,laboratory parameters,and echocardiographic parameters between the two groups were compared. The diagnostic efficacies of PTT,normalized PTT(nPTT),and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)were analyzed. Consistency between them and New York Heart Association(NYHA)heart function classification was tested. Results:Compared to the non-heart failure group,the NT-proBNP,PTT,and nPTT values in the heart failure group were significantly increased(all P<0.05). The area under the curve(AUC)of nPTT was 0.944,better than that of PTT and NT-proBNP(AUC=0.871,0.887). After K-means clustering reclassified patients into four levels based on nPTT values,nPTT classification showed moderate consistency with NYHA classification(Kappa=0.580, P<0.001),and nPTT differed significantly across NYHA classifications( P<0.05). Conclusions:PTT,as an echocardiographic index for assessing cardiac function,has similar diagnostic efficacy to NT-proBNP,the nPTT is even better. It shows moderate consistency with the NYHA classification and holds potential for differentiating overlapping NYHA grades. Importantly,it offers a fresh objective way to evaluate cardiac dysfunction after PCI in STEMI patients.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of single-port laparoscopy for giant ovariotubal cysts.Methods:38 patients with giant ovarian and fallopian tube cysts in Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University Hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into transumbilical single-port laparoscopy group (18 cases) and traditional laparoscopy group (20 cases). The perioperative related indexes such as operation time, intraoperative bleeding and the number of analgesic cases were compared between the two groups.Results:All 38 patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to laparotomy, and no auxiliary hole was added in the single-port laparoscopy group; There were no postoperative complications and no cystic fluid leakage. In the single-port laparoscopy group, 18 patients were satisfied with the concealment of umbilical scar. There was no statistically significant difference in operation time [(51.67±13.72)min vs (55.50±14.59)min], intraoperative blood loss [(52.22±24.38)ml vs (61.50±28.88)ml] and first postoperative anal exhaust time [(25.77±8.59)h vs (27.60±6.67)h] between single-port laparoscopy group and traditional laparoscopy group (all P>0.05); The number of cases requiring postoperative analgesia in the single-port laparoscopy group (2 cases vs 12 cases) was less than that in the traditional laparoscopy group ( P<0.05); The out of bed activity time [(20.95±3.65)h vs (26.95±5.43)h] and postoperative discharge time [(3.11±0.68)h vs (4.30±1.21)h] were shorter than those in the traditional laparoscopy group (all P<0.05). All 38 patients were followed up in the gynecological clinic for 6-24 months. The incision healed well without recurrence. Conclusions:Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic surgery for giant ovarian and fallopian tube cysts is reliable and safe when the possibility of malignant ovarian and fallopian tube tumors was excluded before operation.

OBJECTIVE To study the protective effects o f valproic acid on cardiac and cerebral injury in rats subjected to severe scalding combined with seawater immersion injury with delayed fluid replacement. METHODS The rats were divided into scalding+delayed fluid replacement group (group S ),scalding+seawater immersion+delayed fluid replacement group (group SS ), scalding+seawater immersion+valproic acid+delayed fluid replacement group (group SSV )according to random number table ,with 60 rats in each group. All groups were subjected to 35%total body surface area third-degree full-thickness scalding with boiled water. Group SS and group SSV were immersed in artificial ;seawater(30 min)immediately after scalding ,and group SSV was subcutaneously injected with valproic acid 300 mg/kg immediately after out of water. Sodium lactate Ringer ’s 0314-2279277。E-mail:125467374@qq.com injection was injected intravenously within 30 minutes according to 1/2 Parkland formula at 2 h after scalding in each group for delayed fluid replacement. The death time of rats was recorded ,and the average survival time and 24 h survival rate of rats in each group were calculat ed. Mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR),respiration rate (RR),rectal temperature (RT),arterial blood pH ,arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2),arterial blood partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2),HCO3-,creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB)and neuron specific enolase (NSE)were detected before scalding ,at 0,2,5 h after scalding. The pathological changes of cardiac and cerebral tissue were observed. RESULTS The 24 h survival rate of group SS (55%)was significantly lower than that of group S (90%), while that of group SSV (75%)was increased significantly ,compared with group SS (P<0.05). Compared with group S ,the levels of MAP ,RT,HR,pH,PaO2 and HCO 3- in group SS were significantly lowered ,while the levels of CK-MB and NSE were increased significantly at 0,2,5 h after scalding ;the levels of PaCO 2 were increased significantly at 2,5 h after scalding , while the levels of RR were decreased significantly at 0,2 h after scalding (P<0.05). Compared with group SS ,the levels of MAP,RT,HR,pH,PaO2 and HCO 3- in group SSV were significantly increased ,while the levels of PaCO 2,CK-MB and NSE were decreased significantly at 2,5 h after scalding ;the level of RR was increased significantly at 2 h after scalding (P<0.05). At 2,5 h after scalding ,cardiac and cerebral injury of rats in group SS were aggravated significantly than that in group S ;cardiac and cerebral injury of rats in group SSV were relieved significantly than that in group SS. CONCLUSIONS After severe scalding combined seawater immersion injury ,hypodermic injection of sodium valproate could protect cardiac and cerebral function of rats , improve vital signs and blood gas index ,prolong survival time and improve survival rate in rats.

Objective:To study the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in pregnancy.Methods:This study involved six pregnant patients with PHPT who were admitted to Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from August 2014 to November 2019. Their clinical manifestations, treatment strategies (multidisciplinary consultation with departments including Obstetrics, Endocrinology, Neonatology, General Surgery, Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit), maternal complications and maternal and infant outcomes were described and retrospectively analyzed.Results:(1) The median age of the six patients was 34(23-38) years old. PHPT was diagnosed in one case before pregnancy, four in the second or third trimester and one after delivery. The main clinical manifestations of four cases were nausea, vomiting, anorexia and other non-specific symptoms. Anemia was the most common maternal complication (five cases). Other complications included hypercalcemia crisis with renal failure (one case), multiple bone destruction and osteoporosis (one case). The median levels of serum calcium, parathyroid hormone and 25-hydroxyvitamin D were 3.08 (2.84-4.21) mmol/L, 216.7(93.1-2 603.6) ng/L and 29.66 (13.50-90.24) nmol/L, respectively. Results of parathyroid ultrasonography showed all patients had hypoechoic focus. Four cases underwent routine parathyroid radionuclide imaging showing abnormal radioactive concentration areas. (2) Obstetricians initiated the multidisciplinary team (MDT) for all patients to determine the treatment plans after communication with the patients and their families. One case received surgical treatment five months after delivery. Three cases received surgical treatment in the second trimester and among them, one terminated the pregnancy in the second trimester and the other two continued and achieved good pregnancy outcomes. Two cases underwent surgical treatment after giving up pregnancy and induced abortion. Postoperative pathology revealed that five cases were isolated parathyroid adenoma and one was parathyroid carcinoma. All of the patients were followed up and no abnormal serum calcium was reported. (3) One newborn had hypocalcemic convulsions one month after birth and was recovered by intravenous calcium supplementation. The newborn was followed up and the serum calcium level was normal so far. The other two neonates had normal serum calcium during follow-ups, but one of them was diagnosed with autism at the age of four and is now undergoing rehabilitation treatment.Conclusions:Pregnancy complicated by PHPT may lead to serious maternal and infant complications. MDT consultation ensures timely diagnosis, comprehensive treatment for the patients and better pregnancy outcomes.

Background and objective Amorphigenin, a rotenoid compouns, from seeds of Amorpha fruticosa, has been shown to possess anti-proliferation activities in several cancer cells. To explore the antitumor effects of amorphigenin on cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma A549/DDP cells and explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods CCK-8 assay was used to measure the proliferation of A549/DDP cells; Colony formation assay was used to measure the colony formation of A549/DDP cells; Flow cytometry assay was used to detect the apoptosis rates; Western blot analysis was used to explore the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (caspase-3 protein, PARP protein) and lung resistance protein (LRP). Results Our results demonstrated that amorphigenin could inhibit the proliferation of A549/DDP cells with a inhibition con-centration of 50% cell growth (IC50) at 48 h of (2.19±0.92) μmol/L. Amorphigenin could inhibit the colony formation ability and induce apoptosis of A549/DDP cells; Furthermore, amorphigenin combined with cisplatin showed synergistic prolifera-tion-inhibitory effect and apoptosis-promoting effect in A549/DDP cells; reduced the expression of LRP of A549/DDP cells. Conclusion Amorphigenin remarkably inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis in A549/DDP cells. Combination of amorphigenin with cisplatin had the synergistic inhibitory effect on A549/DDP cells by downregulating the expression of LRP.
