Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of omphalocele, and to assess the risk factors associated with adverse outcomes.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of 224 patients diagnosed with omphalocele, who were hospitalized at Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2013 to December 2022, were collected. Based on their discharge outcomes, the patients were classified into 2 groups: favorable outcomes and unfavorable outcomes. Chi-square test or continuity correction χ2 test or Fisher exact probability method, and Mann-Whitney U test were used for intergroup comparisons. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes in omphalocele. Results:Among the 224 patients with omphalocele, 126 were male. A total of 208 patients (92.9%) had favorable outcomes, while 16 patients (7.1%) had unfavorable outcomes. In the unfavorable outcomes group, 14 patients had giant omphaloceles, while 100 patients had giant omphaloceles in the favorable outcomes group. The rates of herniation of more than two intra-abdominal organs in the hernial sac, congenital heart defects, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary hypertension, sepsis and infection of the hernial sac, were all higher in the unfavorable outcomes group compared to the favorable outcomes group (all P<0.05). Patients with unfavorable outcomes had longer mechanical ventilation time, duration of oxygen use, duration of parenteral nutrition, hospital stays, and higher rates of parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis compared to those with favorable outcomes (all P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that pulmonary hypertension ( OR=9.39, 95% CI 1.20-73.32), sepsis ( OR=8.59, 95% CI 1.32-55.86), and congenital heart defects ( OR=6.55, 95% CI 1.11-38.73) were all independent risk factors for adverse outcomes in omphalocele (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Infants with omphalocele are prone to complications such as cardiovascular malformations, infections, and pulmonary hypertension. Adverse outcomes in omphalocele are associated with pulmonary hypertension, sepsis, and congenital heart defects.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations,molecular genetics and gonadal pathol-ogy characteristics of patients with disorders of sex development(DSD),and to summarize the clinical experi-ence of identifying rare diseases from common symptoms.Methods The clinical data of 416 patients with DSD diagnosed and treated in the multidisciplinary center of DSD of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Cen-ter from May 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,summarized and discussed.Results Accord-ing to chromosome karyotype,416 cases of DSD were classified into three types:92 cases(22.1％)of abnormal sex chromosome karyotype,285 cases(68.5％)of 46,XY karyotype and 39 cases(9.4％)of 46,XX karyotype.Among the 92 patients with abnormal sex chromosome karyotype,59 cases were raised as males,18 cases(30.5％)complained of short penis with hypospadias and cryptorchidism.The most common karyotype was 45,X/46,XY(58 cases,63.0％).Among the 285 patients with 46,XY karyotype,238 cases were raised as males,and 63 cases(26.5％)complained of short penis and hypospadias;47 cases were raised as females,and 13 ca-ses(27.7％)complained of inguinal mass.A total of 216 patients with 46,XY karyotype were subjected to whole exome gene detection,and 155 cases(71.8％)were found to have molecular pathogenesis with the clinical phe-notype.Among the 39 patients with 46,XX karyotype,19 cases were raised as males,and 8 cases(42.1％)com-plained of short penis and hypospadias.In the 18 cases of gonad biopsy,17 cases showed testicular tissue in go-nads.Whole exome sequencing was performed in 14 cases.NR5A1 gene heterozygous mutation,SRY gene muta-tion and SOX3 gene mutation were found in 2 cases,respectively(14.3％).Twenty cases were raised as females,and 14 cases(70.0％)complained of clitoral hypertrophy.Gonad biopsy was performed in 8 cases,with 7 cases of ovotestis(87.5％)and 1 case of NR5A1 gene heterozygous mutation(14.3％).Conclusions The etiologies of DSD are complex and diverse,and the clinical manifestations are various,which can be manifested as hypospa-dias,micropenis,cryptorchidism and other common symptoms of the urinary system.Different etiologies have dif-ferent treatment options.Therefore,chromosome karyotype,molecular genetic testing and gonadal pathology can be used to clarify the cause of disease,especially for rare diseases,improve the detection rate,reduce the rate of missed diagnosis,and ensure reasonable treatment,especially sex selection.

Objective:To explore the impact of CACNA1C rs58619945 genotype on the cortical thickness of attentional networks in patients with Bipolar 1 disorder type (BD-Ⅰ). Methods:From August 2013 and August 2019, a total of 155 BD-Ⅰ patients were recruited from the outpatient and inpatient Departments of the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, along with 82 healthy controls (HC) from the community and university. Genotype for the CACNA1C rs58619945 locus was determined for all BD-I patients and HC subjects, followed by 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging scans to measure the cortical thickness in the alert, orienting, and executive control subnetworks. General linear models (GLMs) were used to evaluate the impact of CACNA1C rs58619945 on the cortical thickness of attentional networks. Concurrently, attentional dimension functions were assessed using repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS) and Cambridge neuropsychological test automated battery rapid visual information processing (CANTAB RVP) test. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University(Ethics No. 2023-056). Results:Compared with the HC group, the BD-Ⅰ patients had shown reduced thickness in bilateral prefrontal cortex, bilateral posterior cingulate cortex, and bilateral superior temporal cortex( P<0.05). A significant interaction between the CACNA1C genotype and the cortical thickness(HC vs.BD) of right prefrontal cortex, right posterior parietal cortex and right superior temporal cortex was noted( P<0.05). Partial correlation analysis has demonstrated a significant correlation between CANTAB RVP and RBANS attention indices and cortical thickness in the right prefrontal cortex, right posterior cingulate cortex( P<0.05), and right superior temporal cortex predominantly among carriers of the BD-Ⅰ G allele. Conclusion:The G allele of CACNA1C rs58619945 is associated with cortical thickness of the right prefrontal cortex, right posterior cingulate cortex, and right superior temporal cortex in BD-Ⅰ, which are part of the alerting and orienting network.

Objective To analyze and compare the clinical efficacy of CalliSpheres drug-eluting micro-spheres and blank microspheres in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer by bronchial arterial chemoembolization.Methods Fifty patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who had failed or relapsed after radiotherapy,chemotherapy,targeting and immunotherapy were collected and treated with super-selective bronchial artery chemoembolization.A retrospective analysis was conducted to compare the tumor response rate and survival between CalliSpheres drug-eluting and blank microspheres.Results The PR,ORR and DCR in the drug-eluted microsphere group were higher than those in the blank microsphere group,and there was a statistical difference in DCR between the two groups 1 month after surgery(χ2 = 4.08,P = 0.04).PD in the drug-eluted microsphere group was lower than that in the blank microsphere group.The CEA,CYF and SCC in the drug-eluted microsphere group after surgery were lower than those in the blank microsphere group,and the CEA,CYF and SCC in the two groups after surgery were lower than those before surgery,and there were statistical differences in CEA and CYF 1 month after surgery between the two groups.The PFS and OS in drug-eluted microsphere group were higher than those in blank microsphere group.Conclusion CalliSpheres drug-eluting microspheres could improve the effective rate of tumor treatment and prolong the survival time more effectively than the blank micro-spheres via arterial chemoembolization,providing reliable clinical practice basis for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the intervention effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT)for patients with depressive disorders.Methods:A computer search of the Web of Science Core Collection,Pubmed,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,PsycINFO,CNKI,WanFang and WeiPu full-text databases(until October 23,2023)was used to collect randomized controlled studies that used acceptance and commitment therapy for trea-ting patients with depressive disorders.Using Stata 17 software,meta-analysis was performed on the literature data that met the inclusion criteria.Results:After screening,11 studies remained for data extraction.The results of a ran-dom effects model indicated that ACT could significantly reduce depression levels in patients with depressive disor-ders(SMD=-1.22,95％CI:-2.05--0.40,P＜0.01),and had a certain maintenance effect(SMD=3.59,95％CI:1.57-5.62,P＜0.01).Conclusion:Acceptance and commitment therapymay could improve the level of depression in patients.

Background::A phase II trial on recombinant human tenecteplase tissue-type plasminogen activator (rhTNK-tPA) has previously shown its preliminary efficacy in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. This study was designed as a pivotal postmarketing trial to compare its efficacy and safety with rrecombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator alteplase (rt-PA) in Chinese patients with STEMI.Methods::In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial, patients with acute STEMI were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive an intravenous bolus of 16 mg rhTNK-tPA or an intravenous bolus of 8 mg rt-PA followed by an infusion of 42 mg in 90 min. The primary endpoint was recanalization defined by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 2 or 3. The secondary endpoint was clinically justified recanalization. Other endpoints included 30-day major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and safety endpoints.Results::From July 2016 to September 2019, 767 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive rhTNK-tPA ( n = 384) or rt-PA ( n = 383). Among them, 369 patients had coronary angiography data on TIMI flow, and 711 patients had data on clinically justified recanalization. Both used a –15% difference as the non-inferiority efficacy margin. In comparison to rt-PA, both the proportion of patients with TIMI grade 2 or 3 flow (78.3% [148/189] vs. 81.7% [147/180]; differences: –3.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: –11.5%, 4.8%) and clinically justified recanalization (85.4% [305/357] vs. 85.9% [304/354]; difference: –0.5%; 95% CI: –5.6%, 4.7%) in the rhTNK-tPA group were non-inferior. The occurrence of 30-day MACCEs (10.2% [39/384] vs. 11.0% [42/383]; hazard ratio: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.61, 1.50) did not differ significantly between groups. No safety outcomes significantly differed between groups. Conclusion::rhTNK-tPA was non-inferior to rt-PA in the effect of improving recanalization of the infarct-related artery, a validated surrogate of clinical outcomes, among Chinese patients with acute STEMI.Trial registration::www.ClinicalTrials.gov (No. NCT02835534).

Objective:To discuss the effect of temperature-controlled shrinkage polytrimethylene carbonate(PTMC)/polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)nanofiber membrane on the biological behavior of mouse fibroblasts and the repairment effect on full-thickness skin defects in the rats,and to clarify the potential mechanism.Methods:The murine L929 fibroblast cells were used in the in vitro experiments and were divided into control group and experimental group(treated with PTMC/PVP nanofiber membranes).The proliferation activities of the cells in two groups were detected by CCK-8 assay;the numbers of live/dead cells in two groups were observed by live/dead cell staining;the morphology of the cells was observed by cytoskeletal staining.A total of 12 six-week-old male SD rats were selected in the in vivo experiment,and were randomly divided into control group and experimental group,and there were six rats in each group.The full-thickness skin defect model was established,and the rats in experimental group were treated with PTMC/PVP nanofiber membranes.The photographs were taken after operation,and the wound healing rates of the cells in two groups were calculated on the 0,3rd,6th,and 12th days.On the 6th and 12th days after operation,the skin samples around the wound of the rats in two groups were taken,and the histopathology of the would skin and adjacent tissue was detected by HE staining;the collagen deposition in wound skin tissue of the rats in two groups was observed by Masson trichrome staining;the numbers of angiogenesis in wound skin tissue of the rats were detected by CD31 immunohistochemical staining.Results:The CCK-8 assay results showed that the proliferation activity of the cells in experimental group showed an increasing trend on the 1st,3st,and 5st days,and there was no significant difference in the proliferation activities of the cells bewteen experimental group and control group(P＞0.05).The live/dead cell staining experiment results showed that compared with control group,the cell density and number of the cells in experimental group had no significant changes,and were predominantly live cells.The cytoskeletal staining results showed that the cells in experimental and control groups appeared spindle-shaped and well-spread.In the in vivo experiments,on the 3rd,6th,and 12th days,compared with control group,the wound healing rates of the cells in experimental group were increased(P＜0.01),and the wound healing rate of the cells was 95.45％on the 12th day,indicating nearly complete healing of the wound.The HE staining showed that on the 12th day,the wound skin structure of the cells in experimental group was more similar to the normal skin,and there was abundant granulation tissue,regular epidermal structure,and new blood vessel formation.The Masson trichrome staining results showed that compared with control group,the collagen deposition in wound tissue of the rats in experimental group was increased.The immunohistochemical staining results showed that the expression of CD31 in wound tissue of the rats in experimental group was increased,indicating the increasing of the number of angiogenesis.Conclusion:The PTMC/PVP thermoresponsive nanofiber membranes exhibit good biocompatibility and can promote the repairment of full-thickness skin defects in the rats;its mechanism may be related to the enhancement of proliferation activity of the basal cells.

OBJECTIVE To explore the perioperative risk factors in young children with obstructive sleep apnea.METHODS The 86 young OSA children admitted to Kunming Children's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were divided into general ward group and ICU ward group according to their postoperative treatment.The clinical data of the two groups were compared and analyzed.RESULTS The course of disease and operation time of children in ICU ward group were significantly longer than those in general ward group,OAHI and ODI were significantly greater than those in general ward group,the intraoperative blood loss was significantly more than that in general ward group,MSaO2 and LSaO2 were significantly lower than those in general ward group,and the tonsil size and operation method composition ratio were significantly different from those in general ward group(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in sex composition ratio,age,weight,height,BMI and adenoid size grading ratio between the two groups(P>0.05).The OAHI values of the two groups were significantly negatively correlated with MSaO2 and LSaO2(r=-0.676,-0.724),and significantly positively correlated with tonsil size grade,ODI,operation time and intraoperative blood loss(r=0.242,0.967,0.321,0.446,P<0.05).There was no significant correlation with the course of disease(r=0.172,P>0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that LSaO2 and ODI were independent risk factors for the severity of the child's condition.CONCLUSION The severity of the condition in young OSA children determines the perioperative risk and is influenced by the type of surgery.LSaO2 and ODI are independent risk factors which should be taken seriously by clinicians.

A middle-aged female with abnormal liver function indicators was admitted to hospital with obstructive jaundice. Urine protein of the patient was positive, and the color turned green during the retest with sulfosalicylic acid, which was relatively rare. According to the laboratory examination and other auxiliary diagnosis of the patient, the cause of the discoloration was found to be obstructive jaundice induced by choledochal adenocarcinoma, which impeded the excretion of copper ions through the bile of the patient. Copper enters the urine through the circulation of the bile, causing an increase in urinary copper. This provides a theoretical basis for the discovery of this phenomenon in clinical tests.
