Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and value of interventional treatment of iatrogenic massive vaginal bleed-ing.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 35 patients with postoperative vaginal massive hemorrhage in obstetrics and gynecology who were admitted.Abdominal aorta and bilateral internal iliac arteries angiography and embolization of abnormal vessels were performed under digital subtraction angiography(DS A),and relevant clinical data were recorded and analyzed.Results After interventional treatment,the vaginal bleeding of 33 patients basically stopped within 3 days,and the average interventional operation time was(57.5±17.2)min.The hemoglobin value,hematocrit and blood pressure decreased and the heart rate increased significantly before and after interventional embolization in obstetrics and gynecology,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).There were no sig-nificant changes in hemoglobin value and hematocrit between the completion of interventional embolization and 72 hours after interventional embolization(P＞0.05).The increase of blood pressure and the decrease of heart rate were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Two patients with cesarean section had poor hemostatic effect after interventional embolization,and the bleeding stopped after exploratory laparotomy and hysterectomy.Conclusion Interventional treatment has the advantages of small trauma,simple operation,signifi-cant curative effect,few adverse reactions,and rapid recovery.It plays an important role and clinical value in the diagnosis and treat-ment of iatrogenic vaginal bleeding.

A young maxillary lateral incisor of Oehlers type Ⅲ Dens invaginatus with peri-invagination periodontitis was reconstructed by CBCT,with the help of guided endodontics,the pathway to invagination was successfully established.The invaginated pseudo-root canal was treated with Vitapex mediation while preserving the pulp.After 6-month follow-up,the tooth was clinically asymptomatic.Radiological ex-amination indicated complete healing of the peri-invagination lesion with narrowed open apex,and the thickened root canal wall.

AIM:To investigate the role of ClC-3 chloride channel in the promotion of radio sensitization of na-sopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells by dihydroartemisinin(DHA).METHODS:MTT was used to detect the inhibito-ry effect of DHA on the viability of CNE-2Z cells and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial NP69-SV40T cells,the radio sensi-tization effect of DHA on CNE-2Z cells was detected by cloning assay,the expression of ClC-3 protein was detected by Western blot,the expression of ClC-3 protein was down-regulated by siRNA technology,and the chlorine current of cells was recorded by whole cell patch-clamp technology.RESULTS:(1)Compared with NP69-SV40T cells,DHA selective-ly inhibited the proliferation of CNE-2Z cells,with IC10 values of(13.020±4.831)μmol/L and(5.244±1.050)μmol/L,respectively(P＜0.01).(2)The results of clonal formation experiments showed that DHA had a radio sensitizing effect on CNE-2Z cells,with a radio sensitization ratio of 1.9.(3)DHA could activate the chlorine channel of CNE-2Z cells and produce an outward chlorine current,but had no effect on the chlorine channel of NP69-SV40T cells.(4)DHA promoted the expression of ClC-3 chloric channel protein in CNE-2Z cells(P＜0.01).(5)Chlorine channel blocker NPPB could in-hibit the radio sensitizing effect of DHA on CNE-2Z cells by 1.84 times,and also inhibited the chlorine current activated by DHA.(6)the down-regulation of CNE-2Z ClC-3 protein could inhibit the radio sensitization effect of DHA on CNE-2Z cells by 4.19 times,and the activation of chlorine current by DHA on CNE-2Z cells was no longer produced.CONCLU-SION:DHA has a radio sensitizing effect on nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells,which is likely to be related to the activation of ClC-3 chloride channel.

Objective To investigate the difference of the disease progression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with different muscle mass levels and the influence of related factors on the disease progression. Methods A total of 308 newly diagnosed patients with COPD from February 2021 to February 2022 were selected for this study. All patients were below moderate COPD. The patients were divided into two groups according to their muscle mass levels: sarcopenia group (98 cases) and control group (210 cases). The diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia were based on sarcopenia diagnostic thresholds: RSMI <7.0kg/m² in men and <5.4kg/m² for women. All subjects were followed up for 4 months to observe the progress of the patient's condition. The correlation between the muscle mass level and pulmonary function level, as well as the results of 6-minute walking test and CAT score was evaluated, and the influence of muscle mass level on the patient's disease progress was analyzed. At the same time, the potential influence of related factors (body fat rate, vitamin D level, etc.) on the condition of patients with different muscle mass levels was discussed. SPSS 19.0 software was used to perform statistical analysis. Results Under the same treatment intervention, the baseline and follow-up lung function improvement levels of patients in the sarcopenia group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At the same time, the baseline and follow-up 6-minute walk test results of the patients in the sarcopenia group were also worse than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Further correlation analysis was carried out between the patient's muscle mass level and the post-treatment pulmonary function indicators and 6MWD test level. The results showed that the muscle mass level was positively correlated with several pulmonary function indicators (FEV1, FEV1% predict) and 6MWD (both P<0.05). Considering the possible influence of other factors on the control and progress of the patient's condition, the present study used follow-up CAT score results to distinguish the prognosis of the patient's condition improvement, and used improvement and non-improvement as dependent variables to analyze the influence of various potential influencing factors. The results of regression model analysis showed that lower baseline muscle mass, women, lower body fat percentage, and lower vitamin D level were the main risk factors. Conclusion Under the same treatment condition, COPD patients with different muscle mass levels improve more slowly when complicated with sarcopenia and have poor prognosis. Women, lower body fat percentage and lower vitamin D level are potential risk factors for poor prognosis.

Objective To explore the efficiency and safety of trans-sheath intraluminal forceps biopsy under digital subtraction angiography(DSA)guidance for assisting diagnosis of pulmonary artery obstructive diseases.Methods Data of 16 patients who underwent trans-sheath intraluminal forceps biopsy for pulmonary artery obstructive diseases were retrospectively analyzed,and the clinical manifestations were recorded.The technical success of biopsy was defined as tissue obtained met the needs of pathology diagnosis.For patients with malignant pathology results,the final diagnosis was malignant,for those with benign pathology results after biopsy and no obvious changes after 6-month or longer follow-up,or benign pathology results after surgical resection,the final diagnosis was benign,otherwise was no clear diagnosis.The operation time,technical success rate,diagnostic efficiency,complications and changes of pulmonary artery pressure before and after the biopsy were observed.Results Among 16 patients,9 complained of intermittent chest tightness,4 complained of chest pain with chest tightness,2 complained of chest pain but 1 denied any symptoms.The lesions located in the left lung in 10 cases and in the right lung in 6 cases,all with enhanced CT showed filling defects of the involved branch of pulmonary artery.Totally 16 trans-sheath intraluminal forceps biopsies were performed in 16 patients,with an average operation time of(31.02±6.02)min and technical success rate of 100%.Malignant tumors were finally diagnosed in 10 cases,including 1 case of lung cancer with false-negative biopsy result,while biopsy correctly diagnosed benign lesions in the other 6 cases.Transient worsening chest pain with chest tightness occurred in 2 cases and relieved after symptomatic treatments.No statistically significant difference of pulmonary artery pressure was found before([53.38±14.28]mmHg)and after([53.69±14.15]mmHg)biopsy(P＞0.05).Conclusion DSA-guided trans-sheath intraluminal forceps biopsy was relatively safe and valuable for assisting diagnosis of pulmonary artery obstructive diseases.

Objective To observe the value of dual-source CT(DECT)virtual monoenergetic imaging(VMI)for differentiating prostate cancer(PC)and benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods Thirty-three patients with PC(PC group)and 44 patients with BPH(BPH group)were retrospectively enrolled,and 40-100 keV(with 10 keV interval)VMI were reconstructed based on arterial phase DECT images,respectively.Clinical data,focal CT value and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of VMI with different energy levels and conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase were compared between groups.Binary logistic regression models were constructed based on clinical data being significantly different between groups,focal CT value of VMI with energy level with the highest CNR,also focal CT value of conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase,respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the efficacy of each model for differentiating PC and BPH.Results Free prostate-specific antigen(f-PSA),total prostate-specific antigen(t-PSA),focal CT value of 40-100 keV VMI and conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase in PC group were all higher,while short diameter in PC group was smaller than those in BPH group(all P＜0.05).Logistic regression models were constructed based on f-PSA,t-PSA,short diameter,CT value at 40 keV VMI and CT value at conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase,respectively,with AUC for differentiating PC and BPH of 0.879,0.902,0.701,0.911 and 0.857,respectively.Conclusion DECT VMI could be used as a supplementary examination for prostate diseases,and 40 keV VMI had the best efficacy for differentiating PC and BPH.

Objective:To identify a strain isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient and to investigate its biological characteristics.Methods:The strain was analyzed by several methods including Gram staining, biochemical identification, 16S rRNA and recN gene sequencing, average nucleotide identity (ANI), antibiotic susceptibility testing and detection of drug resistance and virulence genes. Results:The strain was Gram-positive cocci and formed α-hemolytic colonies on the blood plate. It was identified as Streptococcus parasuis by 16S rRNA, recN gene and whole-genome sequencing. It was sensitive to multiple antibiotics and carried the genes encoding a variety of virulence factors such as adhesion. Conclusions:Streptococcus parasuis could cause human infection and be identified by whole-genome sequencing.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of a child with Pallister-Hall syndrome (PHS). METHODS: DNA was extracted from peripheral blood sample from the child and subjected to whole exome sequencing. Suspected variants were verified by Sanger sequencing of his family members. RESULTS: Genetic testing revealed that the child has harbored a heterozygous c.3320_3330delGGTACGAGCAG (p.G1107Afs×18) variant of the GLI3 gene. Neither parent was found to carry the same variant. CONCLUSION The c.3320_3330delGGTACGAGCAG (p.G1107Afs×18) frameshift variant of the GLI3 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of PHS in this child. Genetic testing should be considered for patients featuring hypothalamic hamartoma and central polydactyly.

Objective To explore the relationship between body muscle mass and body mass index of school-age children and their growth differences in different seasons. Methods A total of 526 cases of preschool children who came to Hengshui People's Hospital for examination from June 2018 to June 2020 were selected as observation objects, including 300 males and 226 females, aged 6-11 years old, with an average age of (8.2 years ±0.2 years). According to the body mass index (BMI), children are divided into normal body weight, overweight weight and obese groups. According to the season, preschool children were divided into four groups, spring group, summer group, autumn group, and winter group, with 131 cases in each group. The physique of preschool children was tested, and the serum 25(OH)D was detected at the same time, the body muscle mass was measured by the bioelectrical impedance method, and the whole body muscle mass index was calculated. Multi-factor linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between vitamin D nutritional status and muscle mass index ; To study the average vitamin D content of children and the differences in different seasons. Results There were 396 children with normal BMI, 90 were overweight, and 40 were obese. The children's normal weight, overweight, and obesity were divided into groups. According to the increase in BMI, the normal vitamin level group, overweight group, and obesity group also decreased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The difference between baseline and baseline z-value was statistically significant (P<0.05) at the time of follow-up and the z-value at the follow-up time was statistically significant (P>0.05). Compared with the vitamin D deficiency and deficiency groups, the number of children with sufficient vitamin D is also increasing, and the children with sufficient vitamin D have a fixed-point visit to the MMI. According to the analysis results, it is observed that there is a statistically significant difference in vitamin D nutrition and body muscle mass levels (P<0.05). The serum 25(OH)D levels of children in summer and autumn were significantly higher than those in spring and winter, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The body muscle mass and body mass index of preschool children have a significant relationship with 25(OH)D. When 25(OH)D is sufficient, higher body muscle mass can be obtained and the body mass index can be decreased. The growth difference in different seasons is manifested in the higher 25(OH)D in summer, which is more conducive to the growth and development of preschool children.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of different concentrations of ropivacaine for interscalene brachial plexus block in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia.Methods:Ninety American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠor Ⅱ patients (NYHA classⅠorⅡ) of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.0-26.9 kg/m 2, undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery were selected, and were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: 0.25% ropivacaine group (group A), 0.375% ropivacaine group (group B) and 0.5% ropivacaine group (group C). Interscalene brachial plexus block was performed with 0.25%, 0.375% and 0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml in A, B and C groups, respectively.Before operation (T 0) and at 30 min (T 1), 4 h (T 2), 6 h (T 3), 8 h (T 4), 10 h (T 5) and 12 h (T 6) after administration, the diaphragmatic mobility was measured and recorded using M-mode ultrasound and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were measured using portable spirometer.The occurrence of phrenic paralysis was recorded at T 1-6.The duration of sensory and motor block was recorded.When visual analogue scale score>3 within 24 h after operation, flurbiprofen axetil 50 mg was injected intravenously for analgesia and the consumption was recorded.The adverse reactions such as cardiovascular events, local anesthetic intoxication, Horner syndrome, pneumothorax, and nausea and vomiting within 24 h after administration were recorded. Results:Compared with group A, the diaphragmatic mobility was significantly decreased during quiet breathing at T 1-3 and was decreased during deep breathing at T 2-5, and the diaphragmatic paralysis rate was increased during quiet and deep breathing at T 2-3 in group B, diaphragmatic mobility was decreased during quiet and deep breathing at T 1-6, diaphragmatic paralysis rate was increased during quiet and deep breathing at T 1-4, FEV 1% and FVC% were decreased at T 1 and FVC% was decreased at T 2 in group C, and the duration of sensory and motor block was prolonged in B and C groups ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with group B, the diaphragmatic mobility was significantly decreased during quiet breathing at T 4-6 and was decreased during deep breathing at T 1-6, the diaphragmatic paralysis rate during quiet breathing was increased at T 2-4 ( P<0.05) was increased during deep breathing at T 3-4, and FEV 1 % and FVC % at T 1 were decreased in group C ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the postoperative requirement for flurbiprofen axetil and the incidence of adverse reactions within 24 h after administration among the 3 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:0.25% ropivacaine 20ml provides better efficacy when used for interscalene brachial plexus block in the patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
