OBJECTIVES: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility rates have been steadily rising worldwide. Identifying risk factors for contrast agent reflux into the myometrium during hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) is of clinical significance in reducing this complication and improving infertility treatment. However, there is currently no standardized pre-evaluation method for predicting intra-myometrial contrast reflux, with clinical assessment often relying on physician experience and patient symptoms. This study aims to identify imaging risk factors for contrast agent reflux into the myometrium using four-dimensional (4D) HyCoSy and to construct a nomogram-based predictive model to assist in clinical decision-making. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1 274 infertile women who underwent 4D HyCoSy at the Women and Children's Hospital of Hunan and the the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 1, 2020, to December 15, 2022. Patients were divided into a reflux group (n=234) and a non-reflux group (n=1 040) based on the presence of intra-myometrial contrast reflux. Univariate and multivariable Logistic regression analyses were used to identify significant predictors, which were then used to construct a nomogram model. Internal validation was performed using 500 bootstrap resamples. RESULTS: The age of the reflux group was significantly higher than that of the non-reflux group [(31.82±5.27) years vs (30.66±4.83) years, P=0.001 1]. Primary infertility was more common in the non-reflux group (50.96%), while secondary infertility dominated in the reflux group (76.50%), with 72.65% having a history of gynecological surgery (P<0.001). Abnormal menstrual volume and discomfort during the procedure were more common in the reflux group, while the non-reflux group tolerated higher contrast agent doses (P<0.001). Imaging differences included endometrial thickness, tubal wall smoothness, and peritoneal contrast dispersion, with the non-reflux group showing thicker endometrium and smoother, more patent tubes. The nomogram model yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.854, indicating good predictive performance. The AUC of the decision curve analysis (DCA) for internal validation of the model was 0.737. When the threshold probability for contrast agent reflux into the myometrium ranged from 0.05 to 0.95, the maximum net benefit reached 0.18. The net benefit of applying the nomogram predictive model exceeded that of either full intervention or no intervention, indicating that the model demonstrates good clinical predictive performance. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram model, based on infertility type, endometrial thickness, contrast agent dose, and discomfort symptoms, effectively predicts intra-myometrial contrast agent reflux after 4D HyCoSy. It provides a valuable tool for clinicians to implement early preventive measures and reduce the risk of contrast leakage and associated complications.

Objective An exploratory study of the mechanisms for achieving successful aging at work of clinicians in public hospitals by applying grounded theory and proposing appropriate management recommendations.Methods 24 medical staff from 5 public hospitals in Hubei and Shandong Provinces were interviewed in semi-structured interviews by using purposive sampling methods from June to August in 2023.The interview records were coded,analyzed and integrated with grounded theory.Results Through open coding,spindle coding and selective coding,204 original concepts,47 categories,16 main categories and 5 core category related to model of the mechanism for achieving successful aging at work of clinicians.Conclusion Successful aging at work of senior clinicians encompasses five main areas:physical and mental health,work adaptation,relationships and legacy,internal and external compensation,and value realization.Organizational support factors,individual job crafting affect successful aging at work of senior clinicians by meeting the psychological needs,achieving effective resource management,and promoting person-job matching;individual characteristic factors play a moderating role;job crafting mediates the effect of organizational support factors on successful aging at work among clinicians.

Objective:To investigate electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristics and related factors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) complicated by depressive disorder.Methods:The clinical data of 243 patients with GDM who received treatment at Peking University Third Hospital from September 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the scoring results of the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), these patients were divided into an observation group (GDM + depressive disorder, n = 51) and a control group (GDM alone, n = 192). The χ2 test was used to analyze the relationship between GDM complicated by depressive disorder and ECG diagnosis results. Additionally, the t-test was used to compare ECG indicators between the two groups. Results:Compared with the control group, patients in the observation group had a higher incidence of abnormal ECG indicators, including bradycardia ( χ2 = 4.68, P = 0.030), premature contraction ( χ2 = 10.78, P = 0.001), and atrioventricular block ( χ2 = 15.04, P < 0.001). However, there were no significant differences in the incidences of tachycardia, bundle branch block, or ST-T changes between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group exhibited significantly increased heart rate [(73.43 ± 8.24) beats/min vs. (67.22 ± 5.08) beats/min], maximum QT interval [(419.09 ± 36.00) ms vs. (351.95 ± 32.07) ms], minimum QT interval [(363.31 ± 30.78) ms vs. (316.52 ± 29.10) ms], and QT dispersion [(55.78 ± 17.87) ms vs. (35.42 ± 13.18) ms, t = -5.13, -12.95, -10.08, -7.60, all P < 0.001]. Conclusion:Among patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, those with depressive disorder have an increased risk of exhibiting abnormal electrocardiogram patterns compared with those without depressive disorder.
