Purpose:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of transvaginal contrastenhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in differentiating benign from malignant endometrial lesions and assessing the extent of myometrial invasion.
Methods:
A total of 70 patients who underwent surgery for endometrial lesions at the authors’ hospital were selected. Transvaginal ultrasound examination and CEUS were performed for quantitative and qualitative analysis. Based on the CEUS results, an International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) disease grade was assigned and compared with pathological findings.
Results:
Postmenopausal vaginal bleeding is a key clinical manifestation of endometrial carcinoma. Among the patients with endometrial carcinoma, compared with normal myometrium, the lesion areas exhibited a greater rate of rise (defined as enhanced intensity divided by enhancement time) and a shorter half-clearance time (P<0.05). These findings suggest that in endometrial carcinoma, the contrast agent displays a "fast-in/fast-out/hyperenhancement" perfusion pattern. In contrast, the characteristic perfusion pattern for benign endometrial lesions is low enhancement (P<0.05). The diagnostic accuracy of CEUS in detecting myometrial invasion was 88% (22 of 25 cases).
Conclusion
Transvaginal CEUS is a practical and effective diagnostic imaging method for distinguishing between benign and malignant endometrial lesions. It can also be used to evaluate the depth of myometrial invasion in patients with early-stage endometrial carcinoma.

Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of exocrine pancreas caused by metabolism disturbances of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.Currently,hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis is characterized by an escalating incidence rate,a tendency for more severe cases,and a lack of therapeutic drugs.Traditional Chinese medicine has distinct advantages in treating this disease,but its theoretical framework has not yet been established.Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis manifests itself as a febrile disease,aberrant accumulation of fat and turbidity may stem from dietary imbalances and visceral dysfunction in ordinary individuals.The prolonged accumulation of fat and turbidity can transform into turbid pathogen,subsequently engendering heat,constituting a pivotal pathogenic factor.Throughout the progression of the disease,the fiery pathogen consumes the fat and turbidity,resulting in the generation of toxic heat,which is a crucial mechanism in the exacerbation of the disease severity.Thus,this article posits therapeutic principles aimed at averting the transformation of fat and turbidity into turbid pathogen and counteracting toxic heat in this disease.This article reviews two key theories from traditional Chinese medicine classics relevant to hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis:the theory of fat-turbidity associated with hypertriglyceridemia and the febrile disease related to acute pancreatitis.Combining these traditional theories with modern research on the mechanisms that intensify hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis and the corresponding targets of traditional Chinese medicine,it suggests that the pathogenesis of"fat-turbidity-toxic heat"serves as the theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine for the aggravated severity of hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis.The article aims to offer new insights for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis.

Objective:
Investigate osteogenic differentiation of canine periodontal ligament stem cells ( cPDLSCs) via over-expression ephrinB2 in cPDLSCs.
Methods :
cPDLSCs were isolated from the premolars and molars of Beagle.After transfected with EfnB2-GFP-Bsd and GFP-Bsd empty Vector,cPDLSCs were induced to osteogenic differentiation.Western blot was used to invest the expression of ephrinB2 protein.The effect of osteogenic differentiation of EfnB2-cPDLSCs and Vector-cPDLSCs were analyzed by RT-PCR , CCK-8,Alizarin-red S staining and ALP.
Results:
There was no significant difference in cell proliferation between EfnB2-cPDLSCs and Vector-cPDLSCs.While EfnB2-cPDLSCs displayed an enhanced ALP activity and more prominent mineralized nodules compared with Vector-cPDLSCs.The odonto-/ osteogenic genes in EfnB2-cPDLSCs were also highly enhanced.
Conclusion
The results of our study indicated that ephrinB2 gene-transfected cPDLSCs showed enhanced osteogenic differentiation.

Although widely applied in treating hematopoietic malignancies, transplantation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) is impeded by HSPC shortage. Whether circulating HSPCs (cHSPCs) in steady-state blood could be used as an alternative source remains largely elusive. Here we develop a three-dimensional culture system (3DCS) including arginine, glycine, aspartate, and a series of factors. Fourteen-day culture of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) in 3DCS led to 125- and 70-fold increase of the frequency and number of CD34+ cells. Further, 3DCS-expanded cHSPCs exhibited the similar reconstitution rate compared to CD34+ HSPCs in bone marrow. Mechanistically, 3DCS fabricated an immunomodulatory niche, secreting cytokines as TNF to support cHSPC survival and proliferation. Finally, 3DCS could also promote the expansion of cHSPCs in patients who failed in HSPC mobilization. Our 3DCS successfully expands rare cHSPCs, providing an alternative source for the HSPC therapy, particularly for the patients/donors who have failed in HSPC mobilization.

Objective:To explore the effect of the hospital discharge readiness plan based on deep integration of medical nursing and rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy.Methods:From January 2020 to September 2021, 60 children with cerebral palsy and their 60 parents admitted to the Children's Rehabilitation Department of Anhui Children's Hospital were selected as the research object. The children and parents were divided into the observation group and the control group by random number table, with 30 children and 30 parents in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, and the observation group was given the hospital discharge readiness plan based on the deep integration of medical nursing and rehabilitation. On the first day of admission and the day before discharge, the effects were evaluated using the Chinese version of the Chinese version of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) -Parent Form, the Chinese version of the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS) -Parent Form, the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Rehabilitation Nursing Rating Scale for Children with Cerebral Palsy.Results:After the intervention, the scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group in terms of readiness for hospital discharge, quality of discharge teaching, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The hospital discharge readiness plan based on deep integration of medical nursing and rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy can effectively improve their discharge readiness, the quality of discharge teaching and the ADL of children with cerebral palsy.
