Objective To analyze the characteristics of MR amide proton transfer(APT)imaging and enhancement signals in benign and malignant muscular soft tissue tumors and to explore the value of MR APT imaging,contrast enhancement techniques,and their combined application in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant muscular soft tissue tumors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 34 patients with muscular soft tissue tumors confirmed by pathology,including 13 malignant and 21 benign.All patients underwent both MR with contrast enhancement and APT imaging examinations before surgery.APT values were obtained through post-processing on an image workstation.The enhancement signal characteristics and APT values were compared between benign and malignant muscular soft tissue tumors.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of the two techniques alone and in combination for differentiating between benign and malignant muscular soft tissue tumors.Results There were significant differences in enhancement signal characteristics on MR and APT values between benign and malignant muscular soft tissue tumors(P<0.05).The enhancement signal of malignant tumors was more heterogeneous,with higher enhancement degree than benign tumors;the APT value of benign tumors was(2.20±0.93)%,and the APT value of malignant tumors was(3.52±0.83)%,the ROC curve analysis determined a cutoff APT value of 2.82%for malignant tumors,with a diagnostic specificity of 90.5%and sensitivity of 76.9%.The area under the curve(AUC)for MR with contrast enhancement,APT imaging,and the combination of the two techniques were 0.694,0.857 and 0.894,respectively.No significant differences were found in the diagnostic efficacy between MR with contrast enhancement and APT imaging(Z=1.587,P=0.112 6)or between APT imaging and the combination of the two tech-niques(Z=1.217,P=0.223 4),but there was significant difference between MR with contrast enhancement and the combination of the two techniques(Z=2.428,P=0.015 2).Moreover,the combination of the two techniques showed the overall highest diag-nostic efficacy.Conclusion The combined application of MR APT imaging and contrast enhancement techniques is more beneficial for the qualitative diagnosis of muscular soft tissue tumors.

Objective To explore the relationship between CT quantitative left heart structure parameters and recurrence after hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM)and atrial fibrillation(AF)radiofrequency ablation(RFCA).Methods A total of 120 patients with HCM and AF admitted to our hospital from April 2021 to June 2023 were selected.Patients were divided into the relapse group and the non-recurrence group according to whether RFCA recurred 6 months after operation.All patients underwent CT examination,and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left atrial ejection fraction(LAEF),left atrial volume index(LAVI)and left atrial auricular volume of the two groups were analyzed.The clinical data of patients were collected.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence of RFCA in HCM patients with AF.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of left heart structure parameters for postoperative recurrence of RFCA in HCM patients with AF.Results The volume levels of LAVI and left auricle were higher in the relapsed group than those in the non-relapsed group,and the level of LAEF was lower than those in the non-relapsed group(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that persistent atrial fibrillation,LAVI and high left atrial appendage volume were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence in HCM patients with AF(P＜0.05),and high LAEF was protective factor(P＜0.05).The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of LAVI,LAEF and left atrial appendage volume in predicting recurrence after RFCA in patients with HCM and AF was 0.902,which was higher than that of 0.789,0.755 and 0.675 of each individual test.The combined prediction efficiency of the three tests was higher than that of each single test(Z=2.177,2.555 and 3.628,P＜0.05).Conclusion High level of LAVI and left atrial appendage volume and low level of LAEF are risk factors for postoperative recurrence of RFCA.The combined detection of the three methods has high predictive value for postoperative recurrence of RFCA in HCM patients with AF.

Objective:To explore the current status of self-disgust in female breast cancer patients and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for clinical intervention.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 283 female breast cancer patients who were hospitalized in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from June to July 2024 for the study. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Questionnaire for the Assessment of Self-Disgust (QASD), Family Avoidance of Communication about Cancer Scale, Body Image Scale, and the Chinese version of the Female Self-Advocacy in Cancer Survivorship. Factors influencing patients' self-disgust were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and multiple linear regression.Results:The total score of QASD in female breast cancer patients was (33.77±7.64). Education level, sexual dysfunction after breast cancer, family avoidance of communication about cancer, body image and self-advocacy were influencing factors of self-disgust in female breast cancer patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Self-disgust of female patients with breast cancer is at a medium to high level. It is recommended that nurses pay attention to the psychological status of patients with low level of education and sexual dysfunction after the disease, implement targeted psychological interventions to improve the family avoidance of communication about cancer and body image, and increase the awareness of self-advocacy, thus reducing the risk of self-disgust in female breast cancer patients.

We used real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction RT-PCR) method to screen out HRSV subtype B (HRSVB) positive specimens, whole genome sequencing was performed on positivespecimens meeting the requirements for the sequencing. After downloading the global representative HRSVB genotypes at GenBank database, sequence alignment was performed, related evolutionary tree was built and the calculation and analyses of genetic distance were done, analyses of HRSVB sequencing of sequence homology of nucleotides, amino acids and amino acid mutation were performed.Results:The first strain in Qinghai, China/qinghai/2024-03 had a complete sequence of 15 140 bp nucleotides, with HRSV′s all structural characteristics, and subtype HRSVA prototype strain Long strains of nucleotide the lowest homology was 80.0%, and subtype HRSVB prototype strain nucleotide homology was above 94.7%. The result indicated that the first strain in Qinghai belonged to HRSVB subtype. Genetic evolution shows China/qinghai/2024-03 and USA/WA-S23450/2021 (OR326803.1) and Germany/2021 (OR795235.1) all belong to a branch, they have the closest relationship. Phylogenetic analysis of G gene showed that the strain belonged to BA9 genotype of HRSVB subtype, and the hypervariable regions of the genome were SH and G genes.Conclusions:In this study, the complete genome sequence of HRSV China/qinghai/2024-03 was obtained for the first time, and the basic molecular structural characteristics were elucidated, which filled the gaps in the gene and amino acid data of HRSV in our province, and also provided a basis for HRSV epidemiology.

Objective:To summarize the clinical phenotype and genotypic characteristics of children with truncation variation in SMC1A gene. Methods:The clinical data of a child with late-onset cluster seizures caused by truncation variation in SMC1A gene diagnosed in February 2021 in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University were collected. The relevant literature was reviewed to summarize the clinical characteristics. Results:The proband was a 5-year-old girl, presenting with first seizure at the age of 5 and cluster seizures. She had poor response to multiple antiepileptic drugs, and had normal neurodevelopment before seizures. Whole exome sequencing results revealed a spontaneous heterozygous nonsense variation c.55C>T in SMC1A gene, causing a nonsense variant in the amino acid sequence p.Gln19Ter(p.Gln19 *), which has not been reported. There were a total of 14 relevant literatures, and there were in total 32 cases with truncation variation in SMC1A gene including this case. All children were female and 30 children had early-onset intractable epilepsy, and first seizure median age was 5 months (range: 4 weeks to 40 months); 78.1% (25/32) of them had cluster seizures; 93.8% (30/32) had mental retardation; Cornelia de Lange syndrome clinical score in 68.8% (22/32) of them was≥4. The truncation variations in SMC1A gene of 31 children were de novo, and there were 16 children with frameshift variation (16/32), 12 children with nonsense variation [12/32; 3 children (9.4%, 3/32) with c.2923C>T], 4 children with splice variation (4/32). Conclusions:This study further expands the clinical phenotype and genotype of cases with truncation variation in SMC1A gene. Case presenting with female late-onset cluster seizures has not been reported in China, and genetic testing can be beneficial for early diagnosis of hereditary epilepsy and precision treatment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 4 (COXPD4) related to TUFM gene variation, in order to improve clinicians′ understanding of the disease. Methods:A case of COXPD4 with cystic leukodystrophy admitted to the Children′s Hospital of Zhengzhou University in June 2021 was taken as the study subject, and her clinical characteristics and genetic testing results were retrospectively analyzed. The "combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 4" " TUFM gene" "cystic leukodystrophy" "combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 4" "COXPD 4" " TUFM" and "cystic leukodystrophy" were used as keywords, and the documents on COXPD4 related to TUFM gene mutations were reviewed from Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, CNKI, PubMed Document Database, and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) until August 2021. The COXPD4 patients that have been reported internationally were analyzed for clinical features and variant types. Results:The patient was a 2-month-old girl with clinical manifestations of delayed development and progressive aggravation, elevated lactic acid in serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and diffuse white matter dysplasia with multiple cystic lesions in cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Whole exome sequencing showed TUFM gene complex heterozygous variants c.684_684+4delGGTGA and c.1105C>T, which had not been reported in the past. A total of 5 cases of COXPD4 were reported in 4 English literatures. Together with 1 case in this study, there were 4 cases with detailed clinical history data, including 1 male and 3 females. The clinical manifestations were severe early-onset lactic acidosis and developmental lag, and 3 cases were accompanied by progressive infantile encephalopathy. Among them, 3 cases underwent head MRI examination, all of which showed diffuse white matter signal with multiple cystic lesions, 2 cases with basal ganglia involvement and multiple cerebellar gyri deformity. Genetic test indicated different types of TUFM gene variation. Conclusions:COXPD4 is a rare hereditary mitochondrial disease. For cases with COXPD4 clinical and imaging features, TUFM gene mutations can be screened first.
