【Objective】 To investigate the factors influencing the length of hospital stays of the acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) patients, so as to establish the prediction model. 【Methods】 A total of 49 patients diagnosed as AFLP)in ShenZhen People’s Hospital between January 2008 and January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the median length of hospital stays, the patients were divided into two groups: Group A(n=21)and Group B(n=28). Preoperative general laboratory data, clinical features and postpartum adverse outcomes in both groups were analyzed. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent factors affecting the length of hospital stays for AFLP, and a prediction model for hospitalization time was established. 【Results】 Comparison between Group B and Group A were as follows: hospital stays(d)(15.5 vs 8), preoperative icterus(%)[16(57.1%)vs 3(14.3%)], thrombin time(TT)(s)(24.2 vs 21.3), prothrombin time(PT)(s)(16.8 vs 15.3), activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)(s)(52.3 vs 40.7), total bilirubin(TBIL)(μmol/L)(77.2 vs 45.2), indirect bilirubin(IBIL)(μmol/L)(21.2 vs 10), creatinine(Cre)(μmol/L)[(171.97±53.34) vs (131.81±45.06]), TT extension(%)[24(85.7%)vs 11(52.4%)], APTT extension(%)[27(96.4%)vs 7(33.3%)], IBIL elevation(%)[19(67.9%)vs 4(19%)], Cre concentration rise(%)[21(75%)vs 8(38%)], number of postpartum plasma exchange sessions(%)[23(82.1%)vs 5(23.8%)], postpregnancy co-infection phenomenon(%)[21(75%)vs 4(19%)], with Group B significantly higher than Group A. The preoperative platelet count(×10⁹/L)(128 vs 221)and the concentration of fibrinogen(g/L)[0.9 vs 1.6] in Group B were significantly lower than those in Group A. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative icterus, postpregnancy co-infection phenomenon, number of postpartum plasma exchange sessions, preoperative TT extension, preoperative APTT extension, Cre concentration rise were influencing factors for the hospital stays of AFLP patients. According to the minimum result of Akaike information criterion, the multivariate binary logistic regression analysis (step-wise selection) showed that the number of postpartum plasma exchange sessions, icterus, preoperative APTT extension were the independent risk factor influencing the hospital stays of AFLP patients, and the logistic regression prediction model was established by incorporating the above three factors. Regularization techniques were further employed in linear regression to address and assess overfitting issues. Additionally, the confidence interval for the estimated effect sizes in each model have been acquired by bootstrapping techniques. 【Conclusion】 Preoperative icterus, preoperative APTT extension(APTT>43s)and the number of postpartum plasma exchange sessions were the independent risk factor influencing the hospital stays of AFLP patients and the logistic regression prediction model with high predictive effectiveness was established successfully.

OBJECTIVE To establish the quality standard of Triadica cochinchinensis and to perform the acute toxicity study. METHODS Appearance properties, powder microscopic identification, and thin-layer chromatography(TLC) identification were researched. The specific chromatogram was established by HPLC. The content of cadmium(Cd), lead(Pb), arsenic(As), copper(Cu), and mercury(Hg) was determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS). Acute toxicity was studied by maximum dose. RESULTS The outer skin of herbs was dark brown, and the inner surface was light yellow brown and fibrous. Besides, crystal sheath fiber was common, and calcium oxalate clusters arranges in rows. In the TLC diagram of the test product, the fluorescent spots of the same color were displayed at the corresponding position of the control product(scopoletin, isofraxidin). Five common peaks were calibrated in the characteristic map and the three characteristic peaks(scopoletin, isofraxidin, dimethylfraxetin) were recognized. The content of the measured heavy metal elements was lower than the national limit standard. The linear correlation coefficient was R2 > 0.999. The precision, stability, repetitive RSD were < 10%. The average recovery rate of the added sample was 80%−120%, and the RSD was < 10%. The maximum dose of the acute toxicity test was 184.09 g·kg−1. The 14 d internal body mass, food intake, organ-body ratios, the serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine were not significantly different by comparing with the normal controls. Therefore, no significant toxicity was observed. CONCLUSION The established standard can provide a reference for evaluating the quality of Triadica cochinchinensis. The heavy metal content of ten batches of medicinal materials is within the safe range. Acute toxicity test show that there is no obvious significant adverse teactions after oral administration, and the safe dose range is large, which can provide a reference for the subsequent development and utilization.

Intramesorectal lymph node metastasis after radical surgery of prostate cancer is rare in clinical practice. This paper reported 2 cases of intramesorectal lymph node metastasis and resection after operation for prostate cancer. Patient 1 underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy 5 years ago, who was followed up closely after surgery, and was diagnosed with mesorectal lymph node metastasis by MRI examination. Patient 2 underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy 2 months ago, who was followed up by pelvic MRI and mesorectal lymph node metastasis was revealed. Both patients underwent fluorescence laparoscopic mesenteric lymphadenectomy in our department. With 4 to 6 month of follow-up after surgery, MRI examination showed no recurrence of tumor.

Background Suicidal ideation serves as a sensitive predictive indicator for non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)behavior,and NSSI behavior brings profound effects to both mental and physical health of senior high school students.Existing studies have made exploration on the relationship among insomnia,anxiety and NSSI behavior in the general population,but the internal mechanism of NSSI behavior in senior high school students with suicidal ideation requires further study.Objective To explore the pathway of anxiety between insomnia and NSSI behavior in senior high school students,so as to provide references for the intervention on NSSI behavior in such demographic.Methods From December 10 to 15,2021,cluster sampling was adopted to select 2 572 senior high school students across three senior high schools in Hubei Province as the research objects.Assessment was conducted by using Insomnia Severity Index(ISI),Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item(GAD-7)and Adolescents Self-Harm Scale.Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation among scores of scales finished by senior high school students with suicidal ideation.Model 4 from the SPSS 20.0 Process 4.2 was employed to test the mediating path of anxiety between insomnia and NSSI behavior.Results A total of 2 421 valid questionnaires(94.13%)were recovered,which revealed 554 cases(22.88%)with suicidal ideation and 408 cases(16.85%)with NSSI behavior.The scores of ISI,GAD-7 and Adolescents Self-Harm Scale of senior high school students with suicidal ideation were higher than those of students without suicidal ideation(Z=17.124,20.611,21.314,P<0.01).As correlation analysis showed,the ISI score of senior high school students with suicidal ideation was positively correlated with scores of GAD-7 and Adolescents Self-Harm Scale(r=0.646,0.354,P<0.01),and GAD-7 score was positively correlated with the score of Adolescents Self-Harm Scale(r=0.375,P<0.01).Among senior high school students with suicide ideation,anxiety acted in a mediating role between insomnia and NSSI behavior,with effect value of 0.111(95%CI:0.053～0.185),accounting for 53.88%of the total effect.Conclusion Insomnia of senior high school students with suicidal ideation can not only directly affect NSSI behavior,but also indirectly affect NSSI behavior through anxiety.

Objective To observe the value of susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI)based on 5.0T MRI for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)complicated with vein tumor thrombi.Methods Totally 63 HCC patients were retrospectively enrolled,among them 17 complicated with vein tumor thrombi.The efficacy of 5.0T SWI for detecting vein tumor thrombus was observed,and the image quality were compared between 5.0T and 3.0T.Results 5.0T SWI displayed vein tumor thrombi in 16 cases,except for 1 case with vein tumor thrombi in the upper segment of the left lateral lobe of the left portal vein.The liver edge score,overall image quality score,signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio of portal venous phase and hepatobiliary phase in 5.0T enhanced MRI were all higher than those in 3.0T(all P＜0.05).Conclusion 5.0T SWI was helpful for diagnosing HCC complicated with vein tumor thrombi.

Acetaminophen, also known as N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP), is commonly used as an antipyretic and analgesic agent. APAP overdose can induce hepatic toxicity, known as acetaminophen-induced liver injury (AILI). However, therapeutic doses of APAP can also induce AILI in patients with excessive alcohol intake or who are fasting. Hence, there is a need to understand the potential pathological mechanisms underlying AILI. In this review, we summarize three main mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of AILI: hepatocyte necrosis, sterile inflammation, and hepatocyte regeneration. The relevant factors are elucidated and discussed. For instance, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) protein adducts trigger mitochondrial oxidative/nitrosative stress during hepatocyte necrosis, danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are released to elicit sterile inflammation, and certain growth factors contribute to liver regeneration. Finally, we describe the current potential treatment options for AILI patients and promising novel strategies available to researchers and pharmacists. This review provides a clearer understanding of AILI-related mechanisms to guide drug screening and selection for the clinical treatment of AILI patients in the future.

Objective:To examine the feasibility and safety of endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction via a small skin incision approach without gas and mesh for early breast carcinomas.Methods:We analyzed 7 patients diagnosed with breast cancer who underwent an endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction from Jun. to Nov. 2021 using a gasless and meshless small skin incision approach at the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC. Mean age was 44.9 (29-63) years. Clinical stage, postoperative complications and other data of patients were collected. Patients were required to fill in BREAST-Q scale anonymously before and during postoperative follow-up. The difference was considered significant for P < 0.05. Results:The tumors were all unilateral and solitary lesions, with a mean diameter of 1.74 (0-5) cm. The average distance of mass from the nipple on imaging was 2.11cm (range 0 to 4) . Postoperative pathological clinical stage,1 patient was in Tis, 3 patients were in stage I, 2 patients were in stage II and a pathological complete response was achieved in one patient (ypT0pN0cM0 CR) . The mean operative time was 245.3 (195-316) min, the mean intraoperative bleeding volume was 37.1ml, the mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.1 d, and the median follow-up time was 8.8 (6-11.2) months. All the 7 patients had incision healing at the first stage, and no complications such as infection, incision complications, capsular contracture, nipple-areola complex or skin flap necrosis, removal or displacement of breast implant occurred. No local recurrence or metastasis was detected during the follow-up period. Compared with preoperative, the scores of postoperative psychosocial status, chest wall status were lower ( P<0.05) , but still ideal, while breast satisfaction and sexual satisfaction scores were not significantly different from preoperative baseline ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:This study indicates that endoscope-assisted breast reconstruction with gasless and meshless is a safe and feasible surgical intervention method for early breast cancer, with good cosmetic effects, and can be promoted as a new type of breast reconstruction.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of dual-kidney transplantation from infant donors to adult recipients.Methods:From December 2012 to November 2020 in Organ Transplant Center First Affiliated Hospital Sun Yat-sen University, rertrospective reviews were conducted for clinical data of 25 pairs of infant donors and adult recipients. The survival rates were calculated for both recipients and transplanted kidneys at Year 1/3/5 post-transplantation. And the postoperative recovery status and the postoperative incidence of adverse events of recipients were observed.Results:The survival rates of recipients were all 95.8% at Year 1/3/5 and those of transplanted kidney and dealth-cancelling transplanted kidney all 87.2%. One case died due to acute inferior-wall cardiac infarction while three others lost renal functions for vascular thrombosis, ureteral stenosis and urinary fistula. Except for loss of renal function and death, the postoperative estimated golmerular fitration rate was (99.35±21.78), (103.11±29.20) and (114.99±28.55) ml/(min·1.73 m 2) at Year 1/2/3 respectively. Conclusions:Selecting proper recipients, standardizing donor acquisition and surgical procedures and strengthening perioperative managements may expand the donor pool. The overall outcomes are excellent for adult recipients with dual-kidney transplantation from donations after infants' death.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction for pediatric acute intussusception.Methods:One thousand eight hundred and thirty patients with acute intussusception diagnosed by ultrasound in Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from September 2017 to July 2020 were treated with ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction method. The therapeutic effects, complications and ultrasonic features were observed.Results:Among 1 830 cases, 1 791 cases were diagnosed as primary intussusception, and 39 cases were secondary intussusception. The overall rate of successful ultrasound enema reduction were 1 780/1 830(93.7%) patients. All 50/1 830(2.7%) patients underwent surgery after unsuccessful enema reduction, including 42 cases of primary intussusception, and 8 cases of secondary intussusception. The complication of intestinal perforation occurred in 3 cases (0.16%), and there were no deaths.Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided enema reduction for pediatric acute intussusception is an effective and safe method without radiation exposure, and can be used as the preferred method for non-operative treatment of intussusception.

Objective To verify the feasibility and safety of stomach tumor marker localization based on magnetic tracer technique in dogs.Methods Six male Beagle dogs were examined by gastroscopy.Then tracer magnets were sent to the "tumor" locations assumed in advance and fixed near the "tumors" by endoscopic soft tissue clamp.Laparoscopic gastric tumor localization was performed under general anesthesia 24 hours later.The tracer magnet was placed near the tumor on the surface of the stomach through the operating hole after the conventional establishment of laparoscope puncture parallel mirror to explore the tracer magnet.After the two magnets were attracted,the location of the tracer magnet seen under the laparoscope was the location of the gastric tumor,so as to complete the labeling and positioning of the lesion.Results All the 6 Beagle dogs were successfully implanted with tracer magnets under gastroscopy.Twenty-four hours after the gastroscopy,the pursuit magnet was successfully implanted during laparoscopic surgery.The two magnets automatically attracted each other and formed a sandwich structure of "tracer magnet-gastric wall-pursuit magnet ",which completed the location and identification of gastric tumor under the laparoscopy.Conclusion Gastroscopy combined with laparoscopy based on magnetic tracer technique is simple,accurate,safe and feasible.
