Objectives:To evaluate the diagnostic value of echocardiography in unroofed coronary sinus syndrome(UCSS)with endocardial cushion defect(ECD). Methods:The echocardiographic data of 43 patients of UCSS with ECD who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from July 2017 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by comparing the echocardiographic findings with the intraoperative exploration results. Results:According to Kirklin and Barratt-Boyes classification,there were 26 cases of type Ⅰ(60.5%),9 cases of type Ⅱ(20.9%),2 cases of type Ⅲ(4.7%),4 cases of type Ⅳ(9.3%),and 2 cases of type Ⅲ combined with type Ⅳ(4.7%).There were 26 cases(60.5%)of partial ECD,7 cases(16.3%)of intermediate ECD,10 cases(23.3%)of total ECD.Twenty two cases(51.2%)were associated with single atrium.Twenty seven cases(62.8%)were associated with persistent left superior vena cava(PLSVC).Other coexisting complicated malformations were as follows:2 cases of double outlet of right ventricle,1 case of pulmonary atresia,1 case of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection,and 1 case of aplenia syndrome.The coexisting simple malformations included 4 cases of ostium secundum atrial septal defect,2 cases of ventricular septal defect,3 cases of patent ductus arterial,and 6 cases of patent foramen ovale.Other abnormalities included 5 cases of absence of hepatic segment of inferior vena cava,1 case of hypoplasia of right superior vena cava,1 case of absence of right superior vena cava,3 cases of cor triatriatum,1 case of isolated levocardia,1 case of mirror image dextrocardia,4 cases of right aortic arch.Of the 43 patients,30(69.8%)were correctly diagnosed by preoperative echocardiography and 13(30.2%)by intraoperative exploration.UCSS was misdiagnosed as inferior vena cava type sinus septal defect and PLSVC was missed in 1 case.UCSS was missed in 12 cases,and PLSVC was missed in 3 cases of them. Conclusions:Diagnosis UCSS with ECD by echocardiography is valuable and challenging.It is necessary to strengthen the understanding of the embryonic development and pathological anatomy characteristics of these malformations to improve the diagnostic accuracy.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

Aim To explore the efficacy of levosimendan on hypoxia pulmonary hypertension through animal experiments, and to further explore the potential mechanism of action using network pharmacological methods and molecular docking technique. Methods The rat model of hypoxia pulmonary hypertension was constructed to detect right heart systolic pressure and right heart remodeling index. HE , Masson, and VG staining were core targets were screened out. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed using the DAVID database. Molecular docking of the core targets was performed with the AutoDock software. Results The results of animal experiments showed that levosimendan had obvious therapeutic effect on hypoxia pulmonary hypertension. The network pharmacology results showed that SRC, HSP90AA1, MAPK1, PIK3R1, AKT1, HRAS, MAPK14, LCK, EGFR and ESR1 used to analyze the changes of rat lung histopathology. Search the Swiss Target Prediction, DrugBank Online, BatMan, Targetnet, SEA, and PharmMapper databases were used to screen for drug targets. Disease targets were retrieved from the GeneCards, OMIM databases. The "drug-target-disease" network was constructed after identification of the two intersection targets. The protein interaction network was constructed and the were the key targets to play a therapeutic role. Molecular docking showed good docking of levosimendan with all the top five core targets with degree values. Conclusions Levosimendan may exert a therapeutic effect on hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension through multiple targets.

Objective:To analyze immune reconstitution and influencing factors in HIV infected men who have sex with men (MSM) with access to antiviral therapy (ART) in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi) during 2005-2021.Methods:The data were collected from Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The study subjects were HIV infected MSM with access to the initial ART for ≥24 weeks in Guangxi from 2005 to 2021 and HIV RNA lower than the detection limit within 24 months. The proportion of infected MSM who had immune reconstitution after ART was calculated. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of immune reconstitution. Software SPSS 24.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 3 200 HIV infected MSM were enrolled, in whom 15.56 % (498/3 200) had no immune reconstitution, 14.78% (473/3 200) had moderate immune reconstitution, and the rate of complete immune reconstitution was 69.66% (2 229/3 200). The M ( Q1, Q3) of ART time for immune reconstitution was 12 (5, 27) months. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model analysis results showed that compared with those with initial ART at age ≥30 years, WHO clinical stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ illness, baseline BMI <18.50 kg/m 2 and baseline CD4 +T lymphocyte (CD4) counts <200 cells/μl, HIV infected MSM with initial ART at age <30 years, WHO clinical stageⅠ/Ⅱ illness, baseline BMI≥24.00 kg/m 2 and baseline CD4 counts ≥200 cells/μl were more likely to have complete immune reconstitution. Conclusions:In the HIV infected MSM in Guangxi, failures to achieve moderate and complete immune reconstitution were observed. Surveillance and ART regimen should be improved for key populations, such as those with older age and low baseline CD4 counts.

Objective:To establish a three-dimensional finite element model of the nose, simulate and analyze the deformation of nasal tissue caused by different focal points, traction directions, and modes, provide the theoretical basis for the effectiveness of physical traction therapy, and guide the clinical selection of more efficient physical traction therapy methods.Methods:A finite element model of the nose was established by ANSYS Workbench 19.2 software based on image data obtained from CT scans of a 29-year-old male volunteer with normal nasal appearance in Peking University Third Hospital. Two focal points, the nasal tip, and the nasal columella, were selected, and three force directions, parallel to the forward, forward and down 30°, forward and down 60°, were applied. The deformation caused by different traction conditions on the skin, lining, and soft bone parts, as well as the four anatomical landmarks of the nasal tip, nasal root, the midpoint of the nasal columella, and the nasal base, were compared. The deformation produced by 10 minutes of continuous pulling and 10 times 1-minute pulse pulling were compared under the same pulling conditions. The deformations generated by two types of pulling modes within a 24-hour cycle: a single 1-hour cycle and 6 intermittent 10-minute cycles, were compared.Results:All traction conditions resulted in deformation of the nasal model, with the maximum deformation of the nasal tissue obtained by pulling forward and downward at 60° (4.632 9 mm) which was greater than other traction conditions (0.825 0-3.105 0 mm). The maximum deformation value was located near the nasion of the model’s skin layer. The deformation obtained by 10 minutes of continuous pulling (0.176 6 mm) was slightly greater than that obtained by 10 times of 1-minute pulse pulling (0.176 5 mm). Within 24 hours, the final deformation of multiple intermittent pulling modes (0.019 0 mm) was greater than that of a single pulling mode (0.004 3 mm).Conclusion:Physical traction can effectively deform the skin and soft tissue of the nose, and the most efficient operation is to continuously pinch the tip of the nose for a short period and apply tension parallel to the back of the nose downwards, repeating every a few hours.

Objective This paper aims to investigate the application of intraoral scanning and cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)registration implant robot in dental implant surgery.Methods The data of 40 cases with dental de-fect of robot-assisted implantation from November 2023 to May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Before the opera-tion,the intraoral scan data and CBCT data of the posi-tioning markers were automatically fused with the initial CBCT images,and the registration error was calculated.The average registration error of positioning markers was determined during the operation,and the implantation ac-curacy was analyzed after the operation.Results The intraoral scan data and CBCT data of 40 patients with dental defect wearing positioning markers were successfully registered with the initial CBCT image,and the registration errors were(0.157±0.026)mm and(0.154±0.033)mm,respectively.Statistical analysis showed no statistical significance between them.The registration errors of the marker was(0.037 3±0.003 6)mm.A total of 55 implants were performed,and the total deviations of the implant point and the apical point were(0.78±0.41)and(0.89±0.28)mm,respectively.The transverse deviations of the implant point and the apical point were(0.44±0.36)and(0.58±0.25)mm,respectively.The depth deviations of the implant point and the apical point were(0.51±0.32)and(0.54±0.36)mm,respectively.The devia-tion of the implant angle was 1.24°±0.67°.Conclusion The fusion technology based on intraoral scanning and CBCT registration can meet the accuracy requirements of preoperative registration of oral implant robots.The technology in-creases the choice of registration methods before robot-assisted dental implant surgery and reduces the multiple radiation exposuresof the patient.

Objective To measure the distance between the lateral compression Ⅱ(LC-Ⅱ)screw guide needle and the surrounding important structures around the anterior inferior iliac spine in pelvic fractures and to locate the needle point,so as to provide anatomical reference for clinical nail placement.Methods Totally 40 adult gross specimens of embalming were implanted with LC-Ⅱ screw guide needle under the surveillance of C-arm machine,and the specimens were dissected.The shortest distance between the insertion point and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve,femoral nerve,femoral artery,femoral vein,anterior superior iliac spine and inguinal ligament was measured.The triangle was constructed between the insertion point,anterior superior iliac spine and inguinal ligament,and the exact location of the entry point was calculated.Results The average distance between the insertion point of the male needle and the femoral vein was(50.67±7.29)mm＞the anterior superior iliac spine(43.83±7.58)mm＞the femoral artery(38.35±6.63)mm＞the femoral nerve(31.17±1.67)mm=the inguinal ligament(28.69±6.59)mm＞the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve(7.98±3.81)mm.The mean distance between the insertion point of the female needle and the anterior superior iliac spine was(45.28±7.07)mm=femoral vein(43.72±6.89)mm＞femoral artery(33.76±6.33)mm＞femoral nerve(25.66±6.46)mm=inguinal ligament(23.22±5.00)mm＞lateral femoral cutaneous nerve(8.97±4.76)mm.The projection distance of the entry point was 31.77 mm for men and 38.41 mm for women.The Angle b was 42.81°for men and 31.71° for women.Conclusion The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is most vulnerable to injury when LC-Ⅱ screw is inserted,and the risk of injury has nothing to do with sex.The insertion point positioning method a and b made LC-Ⅱ screw placement quickly,safely and accurately,and reduced fluoroscopy time and frequency.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value Tamm-Horsfall protein(THP)and osteopontin(OPN)in serum and 24-hour urine for urolithiasis.Methods A total of 101 patients with urolithiasis who underwent flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy at the Urology Department of Civil Aviation General Hospital from April 2020 to March 2023 were included as the stone group,and 50 healthy individuals were enrolled as the control group.The samples of serum and 24-hour urine samples were collected from both the groups,and the levels of THP and OPN were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between each biomarker and urolithiasis,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to assess their diagnostic value.Results The stone group showed significantly lower THP levels(20.13[13.12,26.03]mg/d)and OPN levels(51.24[36.72,101.37]μg/d)in 24-hour urine,and THP levels(182.01[160.91,209.20]ng/mL)and OPN lev-els(18.76[15.72,22.48]ng/mL)in serum compared to the control group(all the P＜0.001).Binary Logistic regression analysis re-vealed that THP(OR=0.736,95％CI:0.606-0.895),OPN(OR=0.975,95％CI:0.958-0.993)and citrate(OR=0.067,95％CI:0.012-0.376)in 24-hour urine,and THP(OR=0.946,95％CI:0.908-0.986)and OPN(OR=0.896,95％CI:0.803-0.999)in ser-um were the protective factors for urolithiasis,while calcium level(OR=2.125,95％CI:1.243-3.633)24-hour urine was a risk factor(all the P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve(AUCROC)for the individual diagnosis of urolithiasis were 0.846,0.809,0.786,0.823,0.748,and 0.755 for the above six biomarkers,respectively.The AUCROC for the combined diagnosis u-sing THP+OPN in serum,THP+OPN in 24-hour urine and all the six biomarkers were 0.882,0.920 and 0.984,respectively,indica-ting better diagnostic performance.Conclusion The combined detection of the THP and OPN levels in serum and 24-hour urine may have good diagnostic value for urolithiasis and serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers.
