Objective To analyze the relationship between fragmented QRS(fQRS)and microalbuminuria(MAU)and serum uric acid(SUA)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods From October 2022 to June 2023,245 T2DM patients diagnosed by The Department of Endocrinology,Jinhua Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected and divided into fQRS group(fQRS,n=111)and T2DM group(n=134)according to ECG results.The general data,biochemical indexes,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDd),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESd),interventricular septum(IVS),left ventricular posterior wall(LVPW),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left atrial diameter(LAd),peak value ratio of mitral orifice blood flow velocity in early and late diastole(E/A)and mitral orifice blood flow velocity in early diastole were compared between the two groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between fQRS wave and other indexes in T2DM patients,and Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of fQRS.Results The prevalence rates of UACR,SUA,HbA1c and MAU in fQRS group were higher than in T2DM group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).LVEDd,LAd,E,E/e'and E/A>1.5 in QRS group were higher than in T2DM group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed that fQRS wave was positively correlated with smoking history,BMI,HbA1c,UACR,MAU,SUA,LVEDd,LAd,E/A and E/e'(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that MAU was the influencing factor of fQRS wave in T2DM patients.Conclusions The fQRS in ECG in patients with T2DM is associated with MAU and SUA and may be an important evidence of myocardial fibrosis associated with subclinical cardiac diastolic dysfunction.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of 17q12 microdeletion cases before and after delivery, and provide a reference for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on five fetuses diagnosed with 17q12 microdeletion by single nucleotide polymorphism array in Quanzhou Women's and Children's Hospital between April 2020 and June 2023. Clinical data including prenatal ultrasonography findings, genetic causes, parental clinical features, and postnatal outcomes were summarized and analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis.Results:The five fetuses had normal results of karyotype analysis of amniotic fluid, but carried a microdeletion of 1.4 to 1.8 Mb in the 17q12 region of the chromosome, involving 20 genes listed in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database. Pedigree verification was performed on all five cases and the results indicated one maternally inherited case with the mother having polycystic kidneys complicated by left hydronephrosis, one de novo case, and three paternally inherited cases with one father having multiple cysts in both kidneys and two fathers showing no abnormalities. Multiple abnormalities were found in the five fetuses by prenatal ultrasonography, including enhanced renal parenchymal echogenicity in four cases and pyelectasis in one case. Two cases chose to terminate the pregnancies, while the other three continued the pregnancies to full term. Postnatal follow-ups showed that one case was normal in growth and development with no abnormalities by renal ultrasound; one case developed polycystic kidney; one case with normal renal ultrasound findings had a speech disorder and symptoms of suspected autism at the age of three. Conclusions:The main manifestation of 17q12 microdeletion is enhanced renal parenchymal echogenicity in the fetal stage and postnatal polycystic kidney. In prenatally diagnosed cases, pedigree verification is necessary as an objective and scientific genetic counseling is helpful in pregnancy decision-making.

Objective To construct a prediction model of postoperative poor anastomotic healing in colorectal patients based on LASS0 variable selection,and analyze the prediction efficiency of this model for anastomotic prognosis.Methods 215 patients with colorectal cancer who were treated in our hospital from March 2018 to January 2023 were prospectively included as the research object.All patients underwent laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer,and all patients were followed up for 30 days after operation.They were divided into the poor healing group(24 cases)and the good healing group(191 cases)according to whether there was anastomotic malunion.The general data and clinical data of all patients were collected,and the characteristic factors with non-zero coefficient were screened by using LASSO regression model.Lasso-Logistics regression model was constructed to analyze the related factors leading to poor anastomosis healing,and the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was drawn to calculate the area under receiver operating characteristic curve curve(AUC),sensitivity and specificity.Bootdtrap method was used to carry out 500 repeated sampling for verification.Results The number of male cases in poor healing group was significantly higher than that in good healing group.The levels of white blood cell WBC and C-reactive protein CRP in poor healing group were higher than those in good healing group(P＜0.05).The operation time in the group with poor healing was longer than that in the group with good healing,the tumor diameter was more than 4 cm,the distance between the lower edge of the tumor and the perianal region was less than ≤ 7 cm,there were neoadjuvant chemotherapy before operation,and the number of patients with Ⅲ-Ⅳ was significantly higher than that in the group with good healing(P＜0.05).Logistics regression screen showed that the operation time,preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy,the distance between the lower margin of tumor and perianal region and the growth of peripheral tumor were the predictive factors of poor anastomosis healing.According to Logistics regression,the ROC curve was drawn,and the AUC was 0.892(95％CI:0.813～0.945),the sensitivity was 75.81％,and the specificity was 89.47％.Youden index is 0.6528;Using Bootdtrap technology to draw the calibration curve of the model shows that the model has good prediction efficiency.Conclusion Long operation time,preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy,the distance between the lower edge of tumor and perianal region＜7cm,and the growth of peripheral tumor are the risk factors for postoperative patients with colorectal cancer with poor anastomotic healing.The prediction model can be used to screen people with poor anastomotic healing and has good prediction efficiency.

Objective:To analyze the predictive value of von Willebrand factor (vWF) for venous thromboembolism (VTE) of patients in intensive care unit (ICU) by using propensity score matching (PSM).Methods:Patients admitted to ICU of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from December 2020 to June 2022 who stayed in ICU for ≥72 hours and underwent daily bedside vascular ultrasound screening were included. Baseline data such as age, gender, primary disease, and chronic comorbidities were collected. Coagulation indexes before admission to ICU and 24 hours and 48 hours after ICU admission were collected, including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), international normalized ratio (INR), fibrinogen (Fib), fibrin monomer (FM), vWF, D-dimer, antithrombin Ⅲ (ATⅢ), etc. Patients were divided into VTE group and non-VTE group according to whether they had VTE or not [diagnosis of VTE: patients underwent daily ultrasound screening of bedside blood vessels (both upper and lower limbs, visceral veins), and those suspected of having thrombosis were confirmed by ultrasonographer or pulmonary angiography]. Using PSM analysis method, the VTE group was used as the benchmark to conduct 1 : 1 matching of age, whether there was malignant tumor, whether there was infection, whether there was diabetes, and coagulation indicators before admission to ICU. Finally, the cases with balanced covariates between the two groups were obtained. The risk factors of VTE were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of vWF in the occurrence of VTE in critically ill patients.Results:A total of 120 patients were enrolled, of which 18 (15.0%) were diagnosed with VTE within 72 hours after admission to ICU, and 102 (85.0%) were not found to have thrombus in ICU. Before PSM, there were significant differences in age, gender, proportion of malignant tumor and infection, and coagulation indexes between VTE group and non-VTE group. After PSM, 14 pairs were successfully matched, and the unbalanced covariables between the two groups reached equilibrium. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that vWF was an independent risk factor for VTE at 48 hours after ICU admission in critically ill patients [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.165, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.000-1.025, P = 0.004]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of vWF at 48 hours after ICU admission for predicting VTE was 0.782, 95% CI was 0.618-0.945, P = 0.007. When the optimal cut-off value was 312.12%, the sensitivity was 67.7% and the specificity was 93.0%. Conclusion:Dynamic monitoring of vWF is helpful to predict the occurrence of VTE in ICU patients, and vWF at 48 hours after ICU admission has certain value in predicting the occurrence of VTE.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and effect of remote medical education model using online film reading training to improve the ability of ophthalmologists in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred to as "Xinjiang Region" ) in diagnosing fundus diseases.Methods:The three-level film reading training system of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps system division hospital-Corps Hospital-Peking Union Medical College Hospital was established. From June 2022 to January 2023, 4 159 posterior color fundus images were continuously collected from Department of Ophthalmology of Xinjiang Corps Hospital and 4 divisional hospitals in the Corps medical system. Among them, hypertensive retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), atrophic AMD and retinal vein occlusion were 3 073, 651, 43, 186 and 206 cases, respectively. The images were divided into 3 rounds (first, second and last) according to the proportion of diseases. The doctors who participated in the training (hereinafter referred to as the "training") were 15 ophthalmologists from the Corps Hospital of Xinjiang Region and the division hospital of the Corps system. There were 7 male and 8 female. Age was (38.1±4.0) years. The titles of senior, deputy senior, intermediate and junior are 1, 6, 5 and 3 respectively; Bachelor's degree and master's degree are 13 and 2 respectively. The working time of fundus disease specialty was (9.6±3.3) years. The film reading system training was conducted before the first round of labeling, and after each round of film reading, the doctors of Peking Union Medical College Hospital gave feedback and explanation on the film reading results. The diagnostic consistency, sensitivity and specificity were compared by paired sample t test. Spearman or Pearson correlation analysis was conducted between the improvement of diagnostic level and professional title, education, age and working hours of ocular fundus disease. Results:All the participating doctors completed the first, second and last reading. After each round of film reading, the film reading summary was carried out for 2 hours. The average diagnostic agreement rates of participating physicians were 53.0%, 67.0% and 75.0%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 0.38, 0.69, 054 and 0.66, 0.85, 0.96, respectively. There was significant difference between the first and last examination ( P<0.001). The sensitivity of the second reading was significantly higher than that of the first reading, and the sensitivity of the last reading was significantly lower than that of the second reading, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The specificity of the second reading was significantly higher than that of the first reading, and the last reading was significantly higher than that of the second reading, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). There was no significant correlation ( P>0.05) between the improvement of diagnostic level of participating physicians and educational background ( Rho=0.07), professional title ( Rho=0.13), age ( r=0.20), and working time of ophthalmofundus disease specialty ( r=0.26). Conclusions:Relying on the three-level online telemedicine training, it can improve the ability of ophthalmologists in Xinjiang region to diagnose fundus diseases. The preliminary telemedicine education model has demonstrated potential for feasibility and effectiveness in remote areas with inadequate medical resources.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of critically ill pregnant and parturient women in intensive care unit (ICU), and to provide clinical experience for the subspecialty construction of critical obstetrics.Methods:The clinical data of critically ill pregnant and parturient women admitted to the department of critical care medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2011 to December 2019 were collected. The main reasons for maternal transfer to ICU, the causes of maternal death, and organ support measures, etc. were summarized.Results:A total of 39 567 critically ill pregnant and parturient women were admitted to the department of obstetrics in our hospital, and 360 were transferred to ICU, with an average ICU transfer rate of 0.91%. Since 2016, the number of obstetric admissions, the number of ICU transfers and the ICU transfer rate had increased significantly. The average age of severe maternals admitted to ICU was (30.9±5.7) years old. The average acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) score was 7 (4, 10). The average length of ICU stay was 1 (1, 2) day. The average ventilator duration was 9.0 (3.0, 17.5) hours. The main delivery mode of pregnant women in ICU was cesarean section (84.72%). Forty-eight patients (13.33%) underwent hysterectomy, of which 42 (87.5%) due to postpartum hemorrhage. The top 3 causes of ICU admission were severe postpartum hemorrhage [36.94% (133/360)], hypertensive disorders of pregnancy [21.67% (78/360)], pregnancy with cardiac disease [15.00% (54/360)]. The leading cause of postpartum hemorrhage in women transferred to ICU was placental abnormality [63.98% (103/161)], followed by uterine atony [28.57% (46/161)]. The average blood loss was (4 019±2 327) mL within 24 hours after delivery, and the number of women who underwent hysterectomy due to postpartum hemorrhage decreased year by year. During the study period, there were 2 maternal deaths, which were indirect obstetric deaths, 3 cases were discharged against-advice (expected death), including 1 indirect death and 2 direct obstetric death; the mortality in ICU was 1.39% (5/360).Conclusions:The most common reasons for pregnant and parturient women to be admitted to ICU were severe postpartum hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The leading cause of postpartum hemorrhage was placental problem. Indirect obstetric deaths exceeded direct obstetric deaths, mainly due to pregnancy complicated with cardiac disease and severe pneumonia. ICU has become an important battlefield for rescuing critically ill maternal and an important guarantee for reducing the maternal mortality.

Pregnancy has increased susceptibility to H1N1 influenza virus infection. Maternal influenza infection is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. A case of influenza A (H1N1) during late pregnancy (pregnancy 1, birth 0, pregnancy 30⁺² weeks) was admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University on December 16th, 2018. The patient was set on mechanical ventilation with a FiO₂ of 1.0, a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 15 cmH₂O (1 cmH₂O = 0.098 kPa), and a tidal volume of 4-6 mL/kg (ideal body weight). However the pulse oxygen saturation (SpO₂) could only be maintained at about 0.85. The disease was controlled by the treatments of anti-infection, mechanical ventilation, immune therapy, nutritional support, preventive anticoagulant treatment by heparin sodium, adequate negative fluid balance, and other organ support therapy. This article introduced the treatment process of the patient in detail, and provided experience for clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate high risk factors of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) in patients with sepsis. Methods A retrospective study was conducted. 164 patients with mechanical ventilation (MV) who were diagnosed sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2017 were enrolled. The general situation, the basic diseases (hypertension, diabetes), body mass index (BMI), protopathy diseases, the level of albumin before ICU admission, the MV time, whether to use glucocorticoid and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) or not, nutrition supply (nutritional way, nutrition initiation time, amino acid/protein supply, nutritional status on ICU 3 days and 7 days), myoglobin, the length of ICU stay, the length of hospital stay, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ) score were collected. The high risk factors of ICUAW in patients with sepsis complicated with MODS were analyzed further using multi-factor Logistic regression analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the myoglobin related factors in sepsis patients. Results The ICUAW incidence was 25.6% (42/164). The risk factors with differences in univariate analysis were included in the multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and it was shown that the level of albumin before ICU [odds ratio (OR) = 0.232, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.061-0.885, P = 0.032], the MV time (OR = 0.380,95%CI = 0.154-0.935, P = 0.035), nutrition initiation time (OR = 2.642, 95%CI = 1.100-6.346, P = 0.030), myoglobin (OR = 4.129, 95%CI = 1.681-10.142, P =0.002) were the independent risk factors for ICUAW in sepsis patients with MODS. The linear regression showed that the level of myoglobin was positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score (β= 38.297, P = 0.000), negatively correlated with the length of hospital stay (β= -7.071, P = 0.048), and it had nothing to do with the MV time and the length of ICU stay. Conclusions Evaluation of muscle function should be a routine part of ICU examination. The levels of albumin,MV time, hemoglobin and nutritional start-up time were independent risk factors for ICUAW in sepsis patients with MODS. Myoglobin levels can be used as an indicator of severity.
