ObjectiveTo present the health status of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutions more intuitively and comprehensively based on improved radar chart. MethodsParticipants who completed a 26-week comprehensive intervention based on TCM constitution from February 2013 to January 2014 in Zhuhai branch of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine were included in the study. They were divided into groups according to gender and age, i.e. young, middle-aged, and elderly male and female groups. TCM constitution scale and health survey short form (SF-36) were used to evaluate the 9 basic TCM constitution types and quality of life at three time points, including pre-intervention (T1), at 13-week intervention (T2), and at 26-week intervention (T3). The improved radar charts were drawn to visually present the comprehensive evaluation results on the health status of 9 TCM constitutions, and graphic features (area S value, perimeter L value) were extracted to construct a comprehensive health index for TCM constitutions (H value). Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between H value and SF-36 total score. ResultsAmong the included 509 participants, there were 45 elderly male, 76 elderly female, 60 middle-aged male, 140 middle-aged female, 53 young male and 135 young female. The radar charts for comprehensive evaluation of TCM constitution health status showed that the total areas for all groups increased at T3 compared to T1, with the most significant increase in the young population. In the middle-aged population, the fan-shaped areas of certain constitutions decreased at T2 than T1. At T3, the radar chart shapes for females were more balanced than males in the same age group. By calculating the features of function graphs, it was found that the S, L, and H values for the elderly population were relatively higher than those for the middle-aged and young population with the same gender, and the young population increased by highest ratio. The values measured at T3 compared to T1 showed average increase of 26% for S value (11% for the middle-aged and 14% for the elderly), 22% for L value (10% for the middle-aged and the elderly each), and 22% for H value (10% for the middle-aged and 9% for the elderly). The female had lower S and L values, as well as higher H value than the male of the same age group measured at T3. The correlation coefficient between the H value of all participants and the total SF-36 score was 0.662 (P<0.01). ConclusionThe comprehensive evaluation model for the health status of TCM constitution based on the improved radar chart constructed in this study can present the health status of TCM constitutions and intervention effectiveness more comprehensively and intuitively. It is suggested to regulate the constitution in pursuit of the dynamic balance of the constitution health status, as well as consider the parts from the whole, and put focus on the balance of nine TCM constitutions.

Objective:To study the impacts of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and gestational weight gain (GWG) on perinatal outcomes and mode of delivery.Methods:From November 2016 to December 2017, single-pregnancy women in early pregnancy (<13 weeks) regularly checked-up at our hospital were enrolled in this prospective cohort study and followed up until delivery. They were assigned into four groups according to pre-pregnancy BMI: obese group (≥28.0 kg/m 2), overweight group(24.0-<28.0 kg/m 2), normal group (18.5-<24.0 kg/m 2) and underweight group(<18.5 kg/m 2). A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was performed at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy to screen for GDM. The optimal GWG was 11.0-16.0 kg for underweight group, 8.0-14.0 kg for normal group, 7.0-11.0 kg for overweight group and 5.0-9.0 kg for obesity group. The effects of pre-pregnancy BMI, GDM and GWG on perinatal outcomes and delivery mode were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression methods. Results:A total of 802 pregnant women were included. The incidences of pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity were 21.8% and 8.9%, respectively. The incidence of GDM was 14.1%. 57.2% of the participants experienced excessive GWG. The incidences of macrosomia, low birth weight and premature birth were 7.1%, 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively. The incidence of Cesarean delivery (C-section) was 37.7%. Pre-pregnancy obesity [adjusted odds ratio ( AOR)=4.355, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.900-9.980] and excessive GWG ( AOR=3.799, 95% CI 1.796-8.034) were independent risk factors for macrosomia. Excessive GWG was a protective factor for low birth weight ( AOR=0.279, 95% CI 0.084-0.928) and inadequate GWG was a risk factor for low birth weight ( AOR=10.954, 95% CI 3.594-33.382) and premature birth ( AOR=8.796, 95% CI 2.628-29.438). Compared with the normal group, overweight group had an increased risk of C-section ( AOR=1.817, 95% CI 1.119-2.949). Compared with pregnant women without pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity, GDM nor excessive GWG, any combination of two of the above-mentioned three factors increased the risks of macrosomia ( AOR=3.908, 95% CI 1.630-9.370) and C-section ( AOR=2.269, 95% CI 1.325-3.886). The risks of macrosomia and C-section were the highest when all three factors existed. Conclusions:Pre-pregnancy obesity and excessive GWG are independent risk factors for macrosomia and pre-pregnancy overweight is a risk factor of C-section. Exposure to any two of the three factors (pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity, GDM and excessive GWG) increases risks of macrosomia and C-section and the highest risk is observed when all three factors are present.

Objective:To investigate the differential diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in multiple myeloma (MM) and unknown osteolytic metastasis (UOM). Methods:A retrospective study was performed on 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging of 43 patients (29 males, 14 females, age: (61.5±12.9) years) with multiple bone destructions and without extraosseous primary malignant tumor between June 2017 and March 2020 in Tenth People′s Hospital of Tongji University. Through follow-up, 20 patients (13 males, 7 females, age: (61.1±12.2) years) were pathologically confirmed as MM and 23 patients (16 males, 7 females, age: (61.4±13.9) years) were pathologically confirmed as UOM. The whole body skeleton was categorized to 8 sites including skull, spine, ribs, pelvis, sternum, clavicle, scapula and limb bone. The differences of the cross-sectional length of the lesion, cortical bone damage, SUV max and the distribution of imaging agent were compared between the two groups in different parts. Independent-sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze data. Results:The UOM group was invisible on clavicles, and spine and pelvis were the most predilection sites in both MM and UOM groups (spine: 41.30%(299/724) and 49.37%(117/237); pelvis: 24.45%(177/724) and 26.58%(63/237)). The cross-sectional length of lesions in the skull, spine, ribs, pelvis and limb bone in MM group were significantly shorter than those in UOM group (5.45(4.30, 8.06) vs (13.89±11.66) mm, 6.15(3.89, 10.06) vs 11.48(7.73, 16.90) mm, 7.01(4.59, 10.56) vs (24.61±16.22) mm, 8.20(5.14, 13.71) vs (21.12±13.31) mm, (8.48±5.75) vs (19.13±14.26) mm; z values: from -8.88 to -2.52, t=-2.76, P<0.001 or P<0.05) and SUV max of above lesions and scapula in MM group were significantly lower than those in UOM group (1.50(1.00, 2.20) vs 17.15±11.40, 2.60(2.00, 4.10) vs 8.20(5.65, 11.90), 2.30(1.40, 5.28) vs 10.58±5.52, 2.50(1.80, 3.90) vs 9.34±6.01, 3.08±2.41 vs 11.38±6.38, 2.45(1.50, 4.43) vs 6.90(4.63, 17.80); z values: from -13.87 to -2.41, t=-4.85, P<0.001 or P<0.05). The imaging agents in lesions on the skull, spine, ribs, pelvis, scapula and limb bone were more evenly distributed in MM group, while the imaging agents in lesions were more unevenly distributed in UOM group. On the skull, spine and ribs sites, the MM group was more likely to show no cortical bone damage; however, the UOM group showed cortical bone damage in the above sites. Conclusion:It is helpful for doctors to distinguish MM and UOM by comparing the cross-sectional length of the lesion, cortical bone damage, SUV max and the distribution of imaging agent in 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging before getting pathologic results.
