Objective To investigate the incidence of placental abruption in the third trimester of pregnancy in Hebei Province,identify its associated risk factors,and develop a corresponding nomogram prediction model.Methods Data from pregnant women at 22 monitored hospitals in Hebei Province,collected between 2013 and 2023,were analyzed to assess the incidence,trends,and associated risk factors of placental abruption.A prediction model was developed and visualized using R programming to generate the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The model's predictive performance was evaluated using the area under the curve(AUC)and calibration curve parameters.Results A total of 480 690 pregnant women were included in this study over the specified period.The incidence of placental abruption was 0.29%(1 395 out of 480 690),with an average annual percentage change of 2.73%,indicating a stable trend(P=0.34).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that pregnancy-related anemia,preeclampsia,placenta previa,vaginal bleeding before 28 weeks'gestation,and between 28 and 31+6 weeks'gestation were significant risk factors for placental abruption(all P<0.05).In contrast,regular prenatal examinations(7~11 visits)and multiple pregnancies were identified as protective factors against placental abruption(both P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for the nomogram model constructed based on independent risk factors for placental abruption was 0.79,and the calibration curve demonstrated that the predicted values closely aligned with the observed values.Conclusions Prenatal examinations should be prioritized,especially for women with preeclampsia,placenta previa,or a history of vaginal bleeding before 28 weeks of gesta-tion.Management of pregnancies between 28 and 31+6 weeks is also crucial to reduce the incidence of placental abruption and mitigate adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.The nomogram model constructed based on these factors exhibits excellent predictive performance,providing a solid theoretical foundation for the prevention and clinical management of placental abruption.

METHODS:
Rat BMSCs were isolated, cultured and identified. The time-dependent expressions of TSP-2 and Sox9 in BMSCs under a dynamic mechanical pressure of 0–120 kPa at 0.1 Hz for 1 h were tested by qPCR and Western blotting. The role of TSP-2 in chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs under mechanical pressure was validated by using small interfering RNA. The impact of TSP-2 and mechanical pressure on chondrogenesis were detected and the downstream signaling molecules were explored using Western blotting.
RESULTS:
Mechanical pressure stimulation of 0–120 kPa for 1 h significantly upregulated the expression of TSP-2 in BMSCs. The expression of the chondrogenesis markers Sox9, Aggrecan, and Col-II were all upregulated under dynamic mechanical pressure or TSP-2 stimulation. Additional exogenous TSP-2 may potentiate the chondrogenic effect of mechanical stimulation. After knock down TSP-2, the upregulation of Sox9, Aggrecan and Col-II under mechanical pressure was inhibited. The NF-jB signaling pathway responded to both dynamic pressure and TSP-2 stimulation, and the cartilage-promoting effect was blocked by an NF-jB signaling inhibitor.
CONCLUSION
TSP-2 plays an essential role in the chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs under mechanical pressure. NF-jB signaling is involved in the mechano-chemical coupling of TSP-2 and mechanical pressure for the chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for the most common adverse events, i.e. abdominal pain and distension in sedation-free colonoscopy.Methods:This was a multicenter clinical study, in which clinical data of patients including outpatients and inpatients who underwent selective sedation-free colonoscopy at six gastrointestinal endoscopy centers from July 2017 to December 2019 were collected, including patients' general information, complicating diseases, examination time, examination results, and occurrence of adverse events of abdominal pain and distension. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze the risk factors for adverse events of abdominal pain and distension during sedation-free colonoscopy.Results:A total of 2 394 patients underwent sedation-free colonoscopy, among whom 690 (28.8%) suffered from abdominal pain, and 1 151 (48.1%) experienced abdominal distension. The results of multivariate logistic analysis showed that overweight ( OR=1.33, 95% CI:1.09-1.62, P=0.005), obesity ( OR=1.55, 95% CI:1.14-2.11, P=0.005) and combination of hypertension ( OR=1.58, 95% CI:1.23-2.02, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for abdominal pain during sedation-free colonoscopy, and overweight ( OR=1.40, 95% CI:1.17-1.68, P<0.001) and combination of hypertension ( OR=1.39,95% CI:1.10-1.76, P=0.006) were independent risk factors for abdominal distension during sedation-free colonoscopy. Conclusion:Obesity, overweight and combination of hypertension are independent risk factors for abdominal pain, and overweight and combination of hypertension are independent risk factors for abdominal distension during sedation-free colonoscopy.

Objective:To investigate the in vitro anti-cancer effect of Vinorelbine (NVB) combined with adriamycin (PLD) on human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and related mechanisms.Methods:The effects of NVB and PLD alone or in combination on the proliferation of breast cancer cells were detected by CCK-8 experiment. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Western blot experiment was carried out to detect protein expression.Results:The results of CCK-8 showed that compared with the blank control group, the inhibition rates of the vinorelbine treatment group, the adriamycin treatment group and the combined treatment group were 27.6%, 31.2% and 65.4%, compared with the NVB group and PLD group, the difference between the combined treatment group was statistically significant ( P=0.005 vs 0.001) . The results of flow cytometry showed that the proportion of apoptotic cells in each group was 3.54%, 16.95%, 15.01% and 32.24%, compared with the NVB group and PLD group, the difference between the combined treatment group was statistically significant ( P=0.006 vs 0.005) . The levels of reactive oxygen species in each group were 1, 1.03, 1.06 and 1.57, compared with the NVB group and PLD group, the difference between the combined treatment group was statistically significant ( P=0.008 vs 0.007) . Western blot results showed that the expression of p-ERK and p-STAT3 decreased after the combination of NVB and PLD, which inhibited the ERK/STAT3 signaling pathway. Conclusions:The combination of NVB and PLD can promote the apoptosis of breast cancer cells and inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells with high efficiency and low toxicity. Its mechanism of action may be related to the up-regulation of ROS levels in cells, thereby inhibiting the activation of the ERK/STAT3 pathway.

The diagnosis and treatment of spontaneous rupture and massive hemorrhage of tuberous sclerosis-related renal hamartoma in a woman in the third trimester are reported. The patient was admitted at 39 weeks of gestation, with threatened labor and a history of bilateral renal hamartoma, which had been hidden. Placental abruption was considered due to persistent lumbago, abdominal pain, abdominal muscle tension, uterine tension and fetal heart rate dropping to 90 bpm, and an emergency cesarean section was performed at 39 +1 weeks. About 200 ml of bloody ascites was found in the peritoneal cavity. A live boy was delivered and no blood clot was seen in the maternal face of the placenta. After the uterine incision was closed, a huge bluish purple mass was detected on the right-side retroperitoneum and the renal angiography showed rupture and hemorrhage of a right renal hamartoma. A selective right renal artery embolization was performed. The patient recovered after the operation and was discharged seven days later required by the family. The patient was in good condition except for hematuria during a 30-day postpartum follow-up, and oral everolimus treatment and regular follow-up were continued. The newborn with a birth weight of 2 355 g was transferred to the neonatology department after birth due to severe asphyxia, and postnatal echocardiography suspected heart rhabdomyoma. The baby had one seizure but was otherwise well, and was discharged after eight days. The seizure did not recur to the neonate after discharge. Clinicians should pay attention to pregnant women with renal hamartoma. If abnormal abdominal distension, hematuria or lumbago occur during pregnancy, rupture of renal hamartoma and possible massive hemorrhage should be considered.

Objective To discuss the correlation between molecular subtypes of early stage breast cancer patients with positive sentinel lymph nodes and the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph nodes, and find out the factors predicting the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph nodes. Methods The clinical data of 124 female breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node positive were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were treated with axillary lymph node dissection. And the correlations were analyzed by single factor analysis and multiple factor Logistic regression analysis. Results Among the 124 patients,non-sentinel lymph node metastasis was in 45 cases (36.3%), and only sentinel lymph node positive was in 79 cases (63.7%). The single factor analysis result showed that the age≤35 years, number of sentinel lymph node positive≥2, macrometastasis of sentinel lymph node had correlation with the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph node (P<0.05 or<0.01);but the molecular type, operation method, maximum tumor diameter had no correlation with the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph node (P>0.05). The multiple factor Logistic regression analysis result showed that the number of sentinel lymph node positive and circumstance of sentinel lymph node positive lesions were the independent risk factors of the non-sentinel lymph node metastasis in patients with sentinel lymph node positive (OR = 4.589 and 2.948; P<0.01 or <0.05). Conclusions The circumstance of sentinel lymph node positive lesions and number of sentinel lymph node positive are the independent risk factors of the non-sentinel lymph node metastasis, but the molecular type is not correlated with the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph node. Predicting non-sentinel lymph node metastasis should be combined with clinical and pathological factors.
