Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of prenatal screening and genetic analysis in the diagnosis of fetal aberrant right subclavian artery(ARSA).Methods:The ultrasonographic features of ARSA fetu-ses detected by prenatal ultrasound at the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from October 2017 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The fetuses were divided into isolated ARSA group and complicated ARSA group.Their genetic analysis results and pregnancy outcome were analyzed.Results:Among 30,260 preg-nant women,185 fetuses were diagnosed with ARSA by prenatal ultrasound screening,with an incidence of 0.6%;5 fetuses(2.6%)were diagnosed by ultrasound in the first trimester,and the remaining were diagnosed by fetal grade Ⅲ structural ultrasound examination at 20~24 weeks' gestation.Among them,158 fetuses(85.4%)had isolated ARSA,and 27(14.6%)had complicated ARSA.Among fetuses with ARSA and other structural abnormal-ities,cardiovascular system accounted for the highest proportion(44.4%),followed by nervous system(22.2%)and urinary system(22.2%).Through genetic analysis,8.3%(4/48)fetuses with isolated ARSA and 40.0%(4/10)fetuses with complicated ARSA were found to have chromosomal numerical or structural abnormalities,with statis-tically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.024).Genetic analysis was completed in 48 isolated ARSA,and the positive rate of pathogenic copy number variants(CNV)was 4.2%(2/48),which was not signifi-cantly different from the pathogenic CNV incidence rate of 0.4%(1/239)in elderly pregnant cases during the same period(P=0.074).The Down syndrome positive likelihood ratio(LR+)for isolated ARSA was 2.5 and the Down syndrome LR+for complicated ARSA was 49.6.Conclusions:Complicated ARSA is often associated with cardiovascular abnormalities and is more likely to develop Down syndrome than isolated ARSA.Although the inci-dence of pCNV in isolated ARSA is slightly higher than the natural incidence,the correlation between pCNV and i-solated ARSA has not been clearly determined by the current sample size.

Objective:To investigate the impact of overweight/obesity on postoperative complications in breast reduction surgery.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent breast reduction surgery in our hospital from 2016 to 2022. Basic patient information and postoperative complications, such as poor wound healing, infection, hematoma, nipple necrosis, etc., were collected. Patients were categorized into normal/low weight group and overweight/obese group according to their body mass index (BMI). The differences in postoperative complications between the two groups were compared and statistically analyzed.Results:The study included 82 patients, 48 in the normal/low weight group and 34 in the overweight/obese group. The gender, age, and surgical methods of the two groups of patients were relatively balanced, and there was no statistical difference. However, the incidence of postoperative complications was 50.0% (17/34) in overweight/obeseitg group, higher than 18.8% (9/48) in normal/low weight group. Common complications included delayed healing such as infection or dehiscence in 8 cases (9.8%), skin necrosis in 5 cases (6.1%), and hypertrophic scars in 5 cases (6.1%). The incidence of skin necrosis and delayed healing in the overweight/obese group was higher than that in the normal/low weight group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Postoperative hematoma and hypertrophic scars occurred in both groups, while fat liquefaction and thrombosis only occurred in the overweight/obese group. Conclusions:Overweight/obesity is an important risk factor for postoperative complications in breast reduction surgery. Patients should be evaluated before surgery, and necessary measures should be taken to reduce the risk of complications.

Objective:To investigate the serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels of women in early pregnancy in Dali City, Yunnan Province, and provide a scientific basis for evaluation of individual iodine nutrition of early pregnant women in this area.Methods:Dali City, Yunnan Province was divided into 5 sampling areas according to east, west, south, north and middle. One township (town) was selected from each area, and at least 20 women in early pregnancy were selected from each township (town) as survey subjects. General condition and medical history of all subjects were collected, and random urine samples and fasting venous blood samples were collected for determination of urinary iodine and thyroid function indexes, and a portable ultrasound machine was used for thyroid ultrasonography. After excluding the patients with a history of thyroid disease and abnormal thyroid function, the level of Tg in the included early pregnant women was analyzed.Results:A total of 120 women in early pregnancy were investigated, aged from 19 to 40 years. Among them, 61 cases came from urban areas and 59 were from rural areas. The median urinary iodine was 156.54 μg/L, which was at the appropriate level of iodine nutrition. A total of 102 women with normal thyroid function in early pregnancy were included, and the Tg level was 11.56 (6.67, 15.27) ng/ml. Among them, 58 cases were in urban areas and 44 cases were in rural areas. There was no significant difference in serum Tg levels between rural and urban women in early pregnancy ( U = 1 362.50, P = 0.559). Conclusion:The serum Tg level of women in early pregnancy in Dali City can provide a reference for evaluation of individual iodine nutrition of relevant populations in this area.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the prevalence of thyroid disease during pregnancy in Dali, Yunnan Province, and to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of benign thyroid disease during pregnancy in the region.Methods:From July to December 2014, Dali in Yunnan Province was divided into 5 sampling areas according to east, west, south, north and middle. One township (town) was selected from each area, and at least 20 women in early, middle and late pregnancy, respectively, were selected from each township (town). To conduct this investigation, medical history data was collected, thyroid ultrasound examination and serological indexes of thyroid function test were performed based on the normal reference value of specific thyroid function serological indexes during pregnancy in this region.Results:A total of 370 cases of pregnant women were investigated, including 120 cases in early pregnancy (61 cases in urban areas and 59 cases in rural areas), aged 19 - 40 years; 126 cases in middle pregnancy (60 cases in urban areas and 66 cases in rural areas), aged 19 - 45 years; and 124 cases in late pregnancy (57 cases in urban areas and 67 cases in rural areas), aged 19 - 44 years. The detection rate of thyroid disease in pregnant women was 27.57% (102/370). The detection rate of thyroid dysfunction was 7.57% (28/370), the positive detection rate of thyroid antibody was 11.62% (43/370), and the detection rate of thyroid nodule was 13.51% (50/370). The detection rates of thyroid diseases in early, middle and late pregnancy were 33.33% (40/120), 23.02% (29/126), 26.61% (33/124), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant(χ 2 = 3.362, P > 0.05). Conclusions:In Daliy, Yunnan Province, there is a high detection rate of thyroid diseases during pregnancy, especially in early pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out further large-scale investigation and study to provide a more reliable scientific basis for prevention and treatment of thyroid disease during pregnancy in this region.

Ferroptosis, as a newly discovered cell death form, has become an attractive target for precision cancer therapy. Several ferroptosis therapy strategies based on nanotechnology have been reported by either increasing intracellular iron levels or by inhibition of glutathione (GSH)-dependent lipid hydroperoxidase glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). However, the strategy by simultaneous iron delivery and GPX4 inhibition has rarely been reported. Herein, novel tumor microenvironments (TME)-activated metal-organic frameworks involving Fe & Cu ions bridged by disulfide bonds with PEGylation (FCSP MOFs) were developed, which would be degraded specifically under the redox TME, simultaneously achieving GSH-depletion induced GPX4 inactivation and releasing Fe ions to produce ROS

The human adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1)gene is highly polymorphic.Some polymorphisms in promoters (rs2422493 ,rs2740483 ,etc. ) and exons (rs2230806 ,rs4149313 ,etc. )have been reported to be significantly associated with coronary heart disease(CHD ). In terms of the underlying mechanisms ,ABCA1 gene polymorphisms might be associated with CHD through modulating the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and other lipids ,or through changing ABCA1 protein structure and function. In this article ,the association of ABCA1 gene polymorphisms with CHD and the underlying mechanisms are reviewed.
