Objective:To investigate the reference intervals of serum uric acid levels in normal-weight children and analyze the factors influencing these levels.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, clinical data were collected from 7 910 normal-weight children, aged 1 month to 15 years, who underwent health check-ups at the Children′s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine between August 2013 and August 2023. Data included sex, age, pubertal signs, blood pressure, and serum uric acid levels. The participants were categorized into 4 age groups: 1-<12 months, 1-<6 years, 6-<11 years, and 11-<16 years, and were further analyzed by sex. The P5 and P95 percentiles of uric acid values were defined as the lower and upper limits of the reference interval, respectively. Correlation analysis and partial correlation analysis were used to assess the relationship between uric acid and other variables such as age, body mass index Z value, and Tanner stage. Multivariate linear regression was used to compare uric acid levels across gender and age groups, respectively. Results:Among the 7 910 children, the distribution across age groups was as follows: 562 (317 boys) in 1-<12 months, 4 120 (2 366 boys) in 1-<6 years, 2 357 (1 432 boys) in 6-<11 years, and 871 (536 boys) in 11-<16 years, the uric acid levels in boys were significantly higher than those in girls ( P<0.05). Uric acid levels exhibited a positive correlation with age ( r=0.47 , 0.20, both P<0.001), and a weak positive correlation with BMI Z-scores(both r=0.11, P<0.001). Among participants aged 6-<11 years and 11-<16 years, uric acid levels in boys were positively correlated with Tanner stage ( r=0.10, 0.27, both P<0.05), but no significant correlation was observed in girls (all P>0.05). The uric acid levels were significantly higher in boys than in girls in the 1-<12 months, 1-<6 years and 11-<16 years age groups (all P<0.05), but no significant gender difference was found in the 6-<11 years groups ( P>0.05). Uric acid levels exhibited statistically significant variations among age groups ( P<0.001). The reference intervals of uric acid values were as follows in 1-<12 months age group, 157-335 μmol/L for boys and 160-315 μmol/L for girls; in 1-<6 years age group, 180-359 μmol/L for boys and 180-355 μmol/L for girls; in 6-<11 years group, 190-375 μmol/L; in 11-<16 years age group, 237-480 μmol/L for boys and 218-410 μmol/L for girls. Conclusions:Reference intervals for uric acid varying significantly across different pediatric age groups. Sex, and pubertal development status are closely related to uric acid levels.

Objective:To explore the application value of three-dimensional visualization reconstruction technology in robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(RAPN)for the treatment of highly complex(R.E.N.A.L. score≥10)renal hilar tumors.Methods:The clinical data of 87 patients with highly complex renal hilar tumors with R.E.N.A.L. scores ≥10 who were treated in First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2021 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed,of which 36 underwent 3D visualization reconstruction and 51 underwent conventional CT. The 3D visualization reconstruction method was to import the patient’s enhanced CT images in DICOM format into the 3D reconstruction image data processing software to produce a 3D visualization model. There were 22 males and 14 females in the 3D visualization group,with an average age of(54.2 ± 9.5)years,a body mass index of(24.8 ± 4.5)kg/m 2,and a tumor size of(4.3 ± 1.0)cm. Tumors were located on the left side in 16 cases and on the right side in 20 cases. Tumor stages were classified as T 1a in 11 cases,T 1b in 21 cases,and T 2a in 4 cases. The R.E.N.A.L. scores were distributed as follows:10 points in 21 cases,11 points in 12 cases,and 12 points in 3 cases. The estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)before operation was(78.2±9.6)ml/(min·1.73 m 2). There were 35 males and 16 females in the conventional CT group,with an average age of(51.3±8.9)years,a body mass index of(25.4 ± 3.9)kg/m 2,and a tumor size of(4.1 ± 1.2)cm. Tumors were located on the left side in 25 cases and on the right side in 26 cases. Tumor stages were classified as T 1a in 12 cases,T 1b in 33 cases,and T 2a in 6 cases. The R.E.N.A.L. scores were distributed as follows:10 points in 31 cases,11 points in 18 cases,and 12 points in 2 cases . The preoperative eGFR was(80.6 ± 8.8)ml/(min·1.73 m 2). There was no statistical difference in general data and preoperative renal function between the two groups( P > 0.05). Both groups underwent RAPN. The two groups were analyzed and compared in terms of operation time,warm ischemia time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative complications,and changes in renal function 3 months after surgery. Results:There were no cases of conversion to radical treatment or open surgery in both the 3D visualization group and the conventional CT group. The 3D visualization group had shorter operation time[(94.6 ± 18.5)min vs.(110.2 ± 17.2)min, P < 0.001],shorter renal artery occlusion time[(23.3 ± 4.0)min vs.(27.2 ± 3.3)min, P < 0.001],less intraoperative blood loss[120(100,250)ml vs. 150(120,300)ml, P = 0.018],and a lower proportion of intraoperative collecting system incision(19/36 vs. 38/51, P = 0.042)than the conventional CT group. There was no significant statistical difference in the time of postoperative drainage tube removal and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups( P > 0.05). One case in the 3D visualization group had postoperative fever,and two cases in the conventional CT group had postoperative obvious macroscopic hematuria. Postoperative pathological diagnosis of the patients was clear cell carcinoma in 78 cases,papillary cell carcinoma in 6 cases,chromophobe cell carcinoma in 2 cases,and oncocytoma in 1 case. No positive resection margin was found in both groups. Three months after surgery,there was no significant statistical difference in eGFR between the two groups[(70.6 ± 8.5)ml/(min·1.73 m 2)vs.(71.4 ± 9.2)ml/(min·1.73 m 2), P = 0.681]. During the median follow-up of 17.8 months,no tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed in either group. Conclusions:RAPN has good safety and feasibility in the treatment of highly complex(R.E.N.A.L. score ≥10)renal hilar tumors. Preoperative three-dimensional visualization reconstruction technology helps to reduce RAPN operation time,renal artery occlusion time and intraoperative blood loss,and has good clinical application value.

Objective:To analyze the levels of antibody to measles virus in cord blood of newborns in Ankang city, and provide reference for the development of measles prevention and control measures and strategies.Methods:From January to December, 2023, 1 058 pregnant women from 10 county-level general hospitals in Ankang city were recruited in this study. Neonatal umbilical cord blood samples were collected for detecting IgG antibody against measles with ELISA. SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze the positive rate of antibody to measles virus and the influencing factors.Results:The overall positive rate of IgG antibody to measles virus was 89.22% (944/1 058), and the geometric mean concentration (GMC) was 570.26 mlU/ml. The positive rates of IgG antibody against measles virus in umbilical cord blood of neonates born to women aged ≤20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, and ≥36 years old were 91.07% (51/56), 90.27% (232/257), 89.54% (351/392), 88.12% (230/261), and 86.96% (80/92), respectively (χ 2=1.355, P=0.852). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the positive rate of IgG antibody against measles virus in umbilical cord blood samples was higher in neonates with gestational age ≥37 weeks than in those with gestational age <37 weeks [OR (95%CI): 0.403 (0.262-0.622)]. Besides, the positive rate was also higher in newborns with a birth weight of 3.0-3.5 kg than in those with birth weight <3 kg or ≥3.5 kg [OR (95%CI): 0.868 (0.462-1.629), 1.765(1.087-2.865)]. Conclusions:The positive rate and the GMC of IgG antibody to measles virus in neonatal umbilical cord blood decrease with maternal age. It is recommended that women of childbearing age should receive supplementary immunization with measles-containing vaccine before pregnancy.

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) has become an important treatment method for abdominal aortic aneurysms due to its advantages of shorter operative time,faster postoperative recovery,and lower early postoperative mortality. However,the incidence of complications and the postoperative reintervention rates are higher than those of open surgery. The main complications after EVAR include access vessel injury,post-implantation syndrome,stent migration,endoleaks,visceral branch artery occlusion,lower limb ischemia,and stent infection,which are also the primary causes of reintervention. In recent years,the causes and associated risk factors of various postoperative complications of EVAR have attracted widespread attention and discussion,which are of great significance for improving surgical techniques,enhancing postoperative monitoring,and improving patient outcomes. This paper provides a review of the current complications,associated risk factors,and management strategies after EVAR.
