Objective:To investigate the factors influencing the success of external cephalic version.Methods:Pregnant women who underwent an external cephalic version due to breech or transverse presentation by the same operator in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2015 to July 2021 were selected as the study objects. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to explore the clinical factors influencing the success of the external cephalic version. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the best cut-off value of gestational week and amniotic fluid index at the time of operation and to evaluate the predictive value of the influencing factors on the success of the external cephalic version.Results:(1) A total of 118 cases finally entered this study. Among the 118 cases,77 cases (65.3%) succeeded in the external cephalic version, among which the success rate was 49.1% (27/55) for primipara and 79.4% (50/63) for multipara. The vaginal delivery rate was 56.8% (67/118). (2) Complications occurred in 19 (16.1%) of the 118 cases. The main complications were abnormal fetal heart rate (13 cases, 11.0%), umbilical cord presentation, and fetal position reversion (two cases and 1.7% in each), and the serious complications were intrauterine fetal death and placental abruption (one case and 0.8% in each).The complication rate of patients with successful external cephalic version was 7.8% (6/77), which was lower than that of those who failed the external cephalic version [31.7%(13/41)] ( χ 2=11.33, P=0.001). (3) Multivariate analysis showed that gestational week at surgery before 38, amniotic fluid index >11.10 cm, and multipara were the factors affecting the success of the external cephalic version [ OR(95% CI)=0.561(0.351-0.897), 1.173(1.018-1.351) and 4.201(1.547-11.404), all P<0.05]. (4) The area under the ROC curve of the combination of the gestational week at surgery, amniotic fluid index, and parity was 0.744 (95% CI: 0.640-0.848, P<0.001), and the Youden index was 0.518, with a sensitivity of 70.0% and a specificity of 81.8%. Conclusion:Gestational weeks, amniotic fluid index, and multipara are related to the success of the external cephalic version, and the combination of the three has certain predictive power for the success of the surgery.

OBJECTIVE To clarify the weight index and optimize the technology of compound Mingmu Yijing pills. METHODS Water content, dissolution time limit and bolus-forming pass rate were included as evaluation indexes. The analytic hierarchy process(AHP) and the criterion importance through inter-criteria correlation(CRITIC) method based on the objectivity of indicators were adopted, AHP-CRITIC mixed weighting method. In this way, the relative coefficients of each index were calculated for weight distribution and comprehensive score, and the molding process was optimized and verified by Box-Behnken response surface test. RESULTS Compared with the single weighting method, the AHP-CRITIC mixed weighting method was more reasonable and stable. This method finally optimized the forming process conditions of Mingmu Yijing pills as follows: adding water amount of 0.8 times, the damp mass infiltration for 0.5 h, drying temperature of 60 ℃, drying time of 8 h. The mean comprehensive score of validation experiment was 88.21, RSD was 0.29%. CONCLUSION AHP-CRITIC method scientifically determines the weight of multiple indicators, and the verification test confirms that the optimized molding process is stable and feasible, which can be used in practical large-scale production.

Objective:To investigate the effect of intraoperative body temperature on prognosis of elderly patients with strangulated small bowel obstruction.Methods:The clinical data of 113 elderly patients with strangulated small intestinal obstruction and perform partial resection and anastomosis admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from December 2017 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The ROC curve was used to analyze the relationship between the intraoperative body temperature(T) and the prognosis of patients, so as to obtain the optimal cutoff point (Ta). According to the relationship between T and Ta, all patients were divided into hypothermia group (33 cases) (T

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis, treatment and aeromedical assessment of military flying personnel with cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM).Methods:The clinical data and aeromedical assessment conclusions of military flying personnel with CCM in Air Force Medical Center from 2015 to 2021 were collected and analyzed based on reviewing the relevant aeromedical assessment cases and literatures at home and abroad.Results:A total of 10 flying personnel, all male, 20-41 years old, with an average age of 28.3 years, including 8 pilots, 2 air combat/technical personnel, with the flying hours of 110-4 000 h and the average flying hours of 1 102.0 h. The sizes of lesions were 3-12 mm, including 2 cases were smaller than 5 mm, 6 cases were 5-10 mm and 2 cases were bigger than 10 mm. All lesions were located under the cortex, including a case of occipital lobe, 4 cases of frontal lobe, 2 cases of temporal lobe and 3 cases of cerebellar hemisphere. Among the 10 flying personnel, only a case presented intracranial haemorrhage (right cerebellar hemisphere) as first symptom and was treated surgically. Three cases were temporarily grounded due to they were under the grounding observation. Other 7 flying personnel had been followed up for more than 6 months. Their reexaminations of MRI showed no change in lesions and EEG examination showed no abnormalities. Two air combat/technical personnel were qualified for flight and 1 helicopter pilot was limited to be a co-pilot, and 2 dual-seat fighter pilots were qualified (limited to dual-seat fighter) and flight-qualified respectively. Two fighter pilots were qualified for lower performance aircraft (limited to bomber, transporter or helicopter).Conclusions:For CCM military flying personnel, the aeromedical assessment conclusion should be made according to the symptoms, lesion location and size, inflight incapacitation possibility assessment, treatment effect, ground observation and follow-up results, as well as the aircraft type and occupation.
