Objective:To construct a risk prediction model based on ultrasound signs of prenatal fetal and accessory for adverse pregnancy outcomes of patients with placental implantation disease.Methods:This study is a prospective study.A total of 120 pregnant women who underwent hospital delivery in Tangshan maternal and child health care hospital from January 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the research objects,including 39 cases with placenta implantation and 81 cases without placenta implantation.The cases with placenta implantation were divided into adverse pregnancy group(19 cases)and good pregnancy group(20 cases)according to the different pregnancy outcome.The placental location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line,and cervical sinusoids of all cases were compared.Logistic multivariate analysis was adopted to verify and construct the risk model of placenta implantation and adverse pregnancy outcomes.Results:There was significant difference in placental thickness between the cases with placenta implantation[(37.26±0.52)cm]and the cases without placenta implantation[(36.02±0.25)cm](t=14.127,P<0.05).There were significant differences between the two groups in the placenta location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line and cervical sinusoids(x2=4.061,5.112,8.381,4.771,17.021,32.341,P<0.05),respectively.There was significant difference in placental thickness between the adverse pregnancy group[(36.85±0.42)cm]and the good pregnancy group[(37.45±0.24)cm](t=5.440,P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the cases number of placenta location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line and cervical sinusoids(x2=6.037,6.041,11.351,6.741,12.321,13.552,P<0.05),respectively.The results of multivariate analysis indicated that placental thickness,placenta location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line and cervical sinusoids were the risk factors for placenta implantation of pregnant women(OR=3.300,3.374,2.995,3.384,2.843,2.878,3.053,P<0.05),respectively.Placental thickness,placenta location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line and cervical sinusoids were respectively the risk factors that caused adverse pregnancy outcomes for pregnant women(OR=2.821,2.886,3.287,3.377,2.942,3.177,3.168,P<0.05).The result of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve indicated that the area under curve(AUC)values of the above model for placenta implantation and adverse pregnancy outcome were larger than 0.700.Conclusion:The prediction based on the model of ultrasound signs of prenatal fetal and accessory is more accurate,which can be used as important reference in clinically early diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness and safety of Shenlong Dingji Formula （参龙定悸方） on the quality of life in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation （PAF） of qi-yin deficiency and phlegm-stasis obstructing collaterals syndrome. MethodsA total of 60 patients with PAF of qi-yin deficiency and phlegm-stasis obstructing collaterals syndrome were recruited and randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group， with 30 patients in each group. The control group received standard western medicine treatment， while the treatment group was additionally given Shenlong Dingji Formula orally， one dose per day. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The primary outcome measure is the Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life （AFEQT） score including scores of four dimensions，i.e. atrial fibrillation-related symptoms， treatment concerns， daily activities， and treatment satisfaction. The secondary outcome measures included the frequency and duration of symptomatic atrial fibrillation episodes and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores covering symptoms such as palpitations， chest tightness， fatigue， shortness of breath， reluctance to speak， spontaneous sweating， stabbing pain， and insomnia. These indicators were assessed at baseline （before treatment）， after 2-week of treatment， after 4-week of treatment， and 4 weeks after the end of treatment （follow-up）. Additionally， safety indicators before and after treatment and adverse events occurring during the trial were recorded to evaluate safety. ResultsA total of 56 patients completed the study， with 28 in each group. Primary outcome indicators： 1） the treatment group showed significant improvement in the total score of the AFEQT scale， with significantly higher total scores after 2-week treatment， 4-week treatment， and follow-up compared to the previous time point （P＜0.05）. In the control group， the AFEQT score significantly increased only after 4-week treatment compared to baseline （P＜0.05）. In the treatment group， the AFEQT scores after 2-week， 4-week treatment， and during follow-up were all higher than those of the control group at the corresponding time points （P＜0.01）. 2） In the treatment group， there was no statistically significant difference in the AFEQT treatment satisfaction dimension score during follow-up compared to that after 4-week treatment （P＞0.05）. However， the scores for all other dimensions at each time point were higher than those at the previous time point （P＜0.05）. In the control group， the scores for the atrial fibrillation-related symptom dimension were higher after 2-week and 4-week treatment than those of the previous time points （P＜0.05）. For the treatment satisfaction dimension， significant increases were observed only after 2-week and 4-week treatment compared to baseline （P＜0.05）. Secondary outcome indicators： 1） In the treatment group， the frequency and duration of symptomatic atrial fibrillation episodes decreased significantly at each time point compared to the previous time point （P＜0.05）， except for the duration of trial fibrillation at follow-up. In the control group， the frequency of episodes decreased significantly at all time points compared to baseline （P＜0.05）， while the duration of trial fibrillation showed a significant reduction at follow-up compared to those after 2-week treatment （P＜0.05）. 2） In the treatment group， TCM syndrome scores significantly reduced after 2-week treatment， 4-week treatment， and during follow-up compared to the previous time point and baseline （P＜0.05）. In the control group， significant reductions were observed only after 4-week after treatment and during follow-up （P＜0.05）. The TCM syndrome scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group at the same time points （P＜0.01）. No adverse events occurred during the trial in either group， and safety indicators showed no significant changes after treatment. ConclusionShenlong Dingji Formula effectively improves the quality of life， alleviates TCM syndromes， and reduces the frequency and duration of symptomatic atrial fibrillation in patients with PAF of qi-yin deficiency and phlegm-stasis obstructing collaterals syndrome， and demonstrates good safety.

BACKGROUND:It has been found that abnormal apoptosis of bone tissue cells induced by abnormal iron metabolism plays an important role in the progression of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of naringin on iron metabolism and cell apoptosis in bone tissue of rats with osteoporosis. METHODS:Fifty 2-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups with 10 rats in each group:sham group,osteoporosis group,naringin low-dose group,naringin high-dose group,and naringin high-dose+DKK-1 group.Except for the sham group,rat models of osteoporosis were established by removing bilateral ovarian tissues in the other groups.At 8 weeks after modeling,rats in the naringin low-and high-dose groups were given 100 and 400 mg/kg/d naringenin by gavage,respectively,and rats in the naringenin high dose+DKK-1 group were given 400 mg/kg/d naringin by gavage and subcutaneous injection of 25 mg/kg/d DKK-1,an inhibitor of the Wnt1 signaling pathway,for 7 consecutive days.Relevant indexes were detected after administration. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin could enhance the bone mineral density and serum calcium and superoxide dismutase levels in rats(P<0.05),and reduce the serum levels of osteocalcin,malondialdehyde,and phosphorus(P<0.05),while DKK-1 could partially inhibit the interventional effect of naringin(P<0.05).Results from Micro-CT scanning,hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin significantly improved bone microstructure and reduced the rate of cell apoptosis,while DKK-1 partially inhibited the interventional effect of naringin.Immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin could reduce the oxygen content,anti-tartaric acid phosphatase expression,and elevate the expression of alkaline phosphatase in active tibia tissues(P<0.05),while DKK-1 could partially inhibit the interventional effect of naringin(P<0.05).Results from Prussian blue staining and immunohistochemical staining showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin reduced iron deposition in bone and liver tissues as well as the expression of transferrin receptor 1(P<0.05),and elevated the protein expression of ferroportin 1(P<0.05)in bone tissue,and DKK-1 partially inhibited the intervention of naringin(P<0.05).PCR and western blot assay of tibia specimens showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin decreased the expression of anti-tartrate acid phosphatase,transferrin receptor 1 and Bax(P<0.05),and elevated the expression of alkaline phosphatase,ferroportin 1,Bcl-2,Wnt1 and β-catenin(P<0.05),while DKK-1 partially inhibited the interfering effect of naringin(P<0.05).To conclude,naringin inhibits the progression of osteoporosis by reducing iron deposition and apoptosis rate in bone tissue,which may be related to the activation of the Wnt1 signaling pathway.

Cognitive impairment is the main clinical manifestation of many nervous system diseases such as stroke,multiple sclerosis,and neurodegeneration,and neuroinflammation is one of the key mechanisms for the onset of cognitive disorders.Chemokines are a class of highly conserved small-molecule secretory proteins that bind to the corresponding chemokine receptors located on cell mem-brane,activating downstream signaling pathways and playing an important role in cell migration,proliferation,differentiation,and sur-vival.In the central nervous system,chemokines and their receptors are involved in immune response and can exert a certain regulatory effect on neuroinflammation.This article reviews the research advances in chemokines and their receptors in cognitive disorders,in or-der to provide new insights and targets for the early diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

Objective:To investigate the optimal reconstruction grade of IDream reconstruction technique in reducing image noise,optimizing image quality,and displaying liver cysts through the subjective assessment on the display of computed tomography (CT) image with differently reconstructive grades in IDream reconstruction technique of iterative reconstruction algorithm,and the objective evaluation of image quality of upper abdomen. Methods:The imaging data of CT plain scan of 53 patients with hepatic cysts who underwent plain scans on upper abdomen at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from August to September 2021 were retrospectively collected. All images were reconstructed to standard window images by using 6 kinds of methods that included filtered back projection (FBP) and IDream grades 1 to 5,which resulted in 6 groups of images that included FBP group and IDream grades 1-5. The CT values and standard deviation (SD) values of the liver,abdominal aorta,erector spine muscle,fat and spleen in images of each group were measured and recorded,respectively. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the images were calculated. Two CT diagnostic physicians with more than 8 years of experience conducted subjective scoring for the display in the images of hepatic cysts of each group. The objective parameters and the subjective scores of hepatic cysts of reconstructive images with different grades were compared. A one-way analysis of variance was adopted to analyze the objective parameters,and Kruskal-Wallis H test was conducted on the subjective score of the display of hepatic cysts. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the CT values among different reconstruction grades on the liver,abdominal aorta,fat,erector spine muscle and spleen (P>0.05). In the FBP group and IDream grades 1 to 5 groups,the SD values of images gradually decreased with the increasing of the reconstruction grades,which were respectively (18.11±5.03),(15.37±4.97),(13.26±4.83),(11.68±4.56),(10.99±4.36) and (10.60±4.21) Hu. The SNR and CNR of the liver gradually increased. The differences in SD values,SNR,and CNR among the six groups of images were all statistically significant (F=20.75,17.72,3.15,P<0.05),respectively. The subjective scores for the display of hepatic cysts from the FBP group to IDream grades 1 to 4 were respectively (3.12±0.35),(3.63±0.46),(4.02±0.42),(4.61±0.48) and (4.63±0.48),which were gradually increasing,while the score for the IDream grade 5 group slightly decreased to (4.53±0.47). The subjective scores for hepatic cysts in the images of IDream grades 3 and 4 groups were the highest. The comparison of the average subjective scores of the images of hepatic cysts among the six reconstruction grades showed statistically significant differences (H=192.17,P<0.05). Conclusion:In CT plain scan on the upper abdomen,with the increasing of IDream reconstruction grades,the image noises gradually decrease,and objective parameters of images gradually enhance,and the reconstructions of IDream grades 3 and 4 can obtain the optimal image quality of upper abdomen at the objective score of hepatic cysts.

Conducting drug clinical trials can enhance hospitals' clinical research capabilities and influence,making it particularly important to improve the management efficiency of trial projects through multiple approaches.Remote monitoring sys-tems enable clinical researchers to remotely access hospital diagnosis and treatment-related systems online,allowing timely,se-cure,and standardized review of subjects' source data and key data traceability.These systems monitor the progress of drug clini-cal trial projects,control project risks to ensure compliance with laws,regulations,trial protocols,and standard operating proce-dures,and safeguard the rights of subjects.In the internet era,remote monitoring systems complement on-site monitoring,enhan-cing hospitals' risk resilience in drug clinical trials while improving efficiency and reducing costs.This paper analyzes recent do-mestic and international laws,regulations,policy directions,and research progress in remote monitoring for clinical trials,dis-cusses current challenges and shortcomings,and provides recommendations and insights for the future informatization development of remote monitoring systems in hospital drug clinical trials.
