This article presents a case of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in a pregnant woman caused by coronary artery dissection. The 41-year-old patient had undergone cardiac valve surgery at the age of 1 and had no risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, alcohol use, or a family history of coronary artery disease. At 31 +1 weeks of gestation, she experienced sudden chest pain for 4 hours and was emergently referred to Peking University First Hospital on June 1, 2021. Electrocardiogram revealed ST-segment elevation in leads I, aVL, and V 2 to V 6. Biochemical assays showed elevated levels of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I and creatine kinase-MB. Echocardiography indicated segmental ventricular wall motion abnormalities (apical) and reduced left ventricular function, confirming the diagnosis of acute anterior wall STEMI. The patient promptly underwent emergency coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention and confirmed coronary artery dissection. Postoperative care included antiplatelet, anticoagulation, and supportive treatment. At 34 +3 weeks of gestation, with the condition of acute anterior wall STEMI being relatively stable, a cesarean section was successfully performed. Regular cardiology follow-ups were scheduled postpartum, and cardiac function was normal in two years after discharge.

The course, progression, and prognosis of fetal congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) depend on the size of the mass, whether the mediastinum is displaced, changes in fetal hemodynamics, and the occurrence of fetal hydrops, with large CCAM being relatively rare. In this case, a fetus was suspected of having a large CCAM with fetal hydrops and cardiac insufficiency at 27 weeks of gestation. After multiple imaging evaluations and multidisciplinary consultations, a delivery plan and neonatal resuscitation plan were formulated. At 31 +4 weeks of gestation, in-utero thoracentesis and drainage were performed. Postoperatively, the fetal CCAM was reduced compared to before, and the maternal symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath were also improved. Three days after the procedure, the mother experienced premature rupture of membranes and delivered a male infant vaginally at 32 weeks of gestation. On the fifth day after birth, the newborn underwent resection of the pulmonary cystic adenomatoid malformation, confirming the diagnosis. Follow-up for two years post-birth showed good prognosis for both the mother and the child. Therefore, when CCAM is detected during pregnancy, thorough in-utero evaluation should be conducted, and a monitoring plan should be developed based on potential perinatal conditions to avoid unnecessary termination of pregnancy. If the pregnancy continues, multidisciplinary evaluation and preparation for perinatal surgery are necessary.

This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of the literature related to the field of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula from the Web of Science database. The current and future research hotspots and development trends in this field were visualized by sorting and interpreting the research data and drawing a visualization chart. This study suggests that there are certain academic barriers between China and developed countries, and international multicenter clinical trials should be conducted in the future with early identification of arteriovenous fistula dysfunction and emerging diagnostic tools as the academic development direction.

The prevalence of diabetes in China is increasing year by year， and has become a health issue of close concern to the whole society. Glucagon-like peptide-1 （GLP-1） receptor agonist （GLP-1RA）， as a new class of glucose-lowering drugs， is now widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） because of its significant glucose-lowering efficacy and low risk of hypoglycemia. As the level of evidence for its effects on improving cardiovascular system and renal protection and reducing body mass continues to improve， its status in the treatment guidelines for T2DM is gradually increasing. Currently， nine GLP-1RA drugs have been approved for the clinical treatment of T2DM in China. Although all of these drugs exert hypoglycemic effects based on the activation of GLP-1 receptors in the body， the differences in their own structures and natural GLP-1 amino acid homology lead to large differences in pharmacokinetic parameters and clinical efficacy among different analogs. In order to enable clinicians and pharmacists to have a full understanding of the characteristics and clinical evidence of these analogs and to better perform their therapeutic effects， Liaoning Provincial Pharmaceutical Society organized clinical medicine and pharmacy experts to develop a medication guide for nine GLP-1RA drugs to provide a reference for clinical medication needs and promote rational and standardized use by compiling and summarizing the pharmacological characteristics， clinical applications， adverse reactions， interactions， the medications in special populations and medication management.

Objective:To investigate the efficiency of deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm in the image quality and detection of hypovascular hepatic metastases under low radiation doses in comparison with adaptive statistical iterative construction-V (ASiR-V).Methods:Fifty-six patients with suspected hypovascular hepatic metastases who needed abdominal enhanced CT scans were collected prospectively in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to April 2021. The patients received conventional radiation dose with tube current-time products of 400 mA CT scans in the first venous phase, low-dose CT scans in the second venous phase, which were set as tube current-time products of 280 mA for group A (19 cases), 200 mA for group B (19 cases) and 120 mA for group C (18 case), respectively. The images of first venous phase and 3 groups of second venous phase were both reconstructed with ASiR-V60% and high-DLIR (DLIR-H). Quantitative parameters [image noise, liver and portal vein signal to noise ratio (SNR), contrast to noise ratio (CNR)] and qualitative parameters (overall image quality, lesion conspicuity, diagnostic confidence) were compared between ASiR-V60% and DLIR-H images, and the effective radiation dose (ED) and the lesion detectability of each group was recorded. The paired t test was used to compare quantitative parameters, whereas the Wilcoxon signed-rank test of paired data was used to compare qualitative parameters. Results:In the second venous phase, ED was (5.56±0.35) mSv in group A, (3.88±0.23) mSv in group B, and (2.42±0.23) mSv in group C, with a decrease of 30%, 50% and 70% compared with the first venous phase, respectively. Moreover, with the decrease of radiation dose, the noise gradually increased, and the CNR lesions, SNR liver and SNR portal vein all gradually decreased. DLIR-H images had statistically better quantitative scores than ASiR-V60% images when the same radiation dose was applied (all P<0.001). Furthermore, the qualitative parameters of each group decreased with the decrease of radiation dose. Under the same radiation dose, the overall image quality, lesion conspicuity and diagnostic confidence of DLIR-H were higher than those of ASiR-V60% (all P<0.001). All lesions [100% (84/84)] were detected by ASIR-V60% and DLIR-H in group A, 92.0% (75/81) in group B, and 88.0% (79/89) in group C. Conclusions:Compared with ASiR-V60%, DLIR-H could reduce image noise, improve overall image quality and lesion conspicuity of hypovascular hepatic metastases as well as increase diagnostic confidence under different radiation doses.

【Objective】 To study the annual financial expenditure in blood stations with different scales, and to establish the regression equation between blood collection units and total expenditure. 【Methods】 The annual total expenditure, the per capita cost of serving population, as well as the collection units of whole blood and apheresis platelet of 24 blood stations were collected. The financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood was calculated.The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS statistical software. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, the total annual financial expenditure of 24 blood stations showed an upward trend. The total expenditure among blood stations was different. The per capita cost of servicing population in the areas where the 24 blood stations were located had been increasing year by year. The 24 blood stations were divided into two grades according to the blood collection volume as 50 000 U, and the relationship equation between the blood collection volume and the annual total expenditure had been established. After testing, each equation was effective(P<0.05); There was no difference in the financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood among blood stations with different scales. 【Conclusion】 From 2017 to 2020, the blood stations with an annual collection volume more than 50 000 U demonstrated a higher financial expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population than those <50 000 U. The blood collection volume of blood stations is significantly correlated with the annual total expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population.

Lymphoplasmapheresis(LPE) is a combination of plasma exchange and lymphocyte separation technology. It can not only remove autoimmune antibodies, but also remove the immune active cells producing these antibodies. At the same time, it can inhibit cellular and humoral immune responses, and improve the efficiency and reliability of treatment. This technology is safe, reliable, and easy to operate. In recent years, it has been widely used in the treatment of various autoimmune diseases and the suppression of immune rejection after organ transplantation, especially in the treatment of critically ill patients. This paper summarizes the clinical application status of LPE in immune-related diseases at home and abroad, analyzes the problems existing in the clinical promotion of LPE, and makes a prospect of its application value.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and long-term prognosis of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with renal involvement as the initial manifestation, thus enhancing the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy.Methods:Twenty-four cases of pediatric ALL with renal involvement as the initial manifestation treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2013 to March 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, and their clinical characteristics were analyzed.According to renal imaging examination findings, they were divided into abnormal group and normal group.The differences in clinical features between the two groups were compared, and the cumulative survival rate was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Among 1 030 newly treated cases of pediatric ALL, 24 cases(2.33%) had renal involvement as the initial manifestation, involving 20 males and 4 females, with a male/female ratio of 5∶1 and the median age of 4.3 years (1.3-14.0 years). There were 16 cases of superficial lymph node enlargement and 21 cases of hepatosplenomegaly.Immature cells in peripheral blood were found in 15 cases.Nine cases were examined with abnormal renal imaging, involving 8 cases returned normal after chemotherapy, and 1 died of renal failure.At the end of follow-up on August 1, 2020, there were 9 cases of bone marrow relapse, 11 survival cases, 10 death cases and 3 cases of loss to follow-up.There were no significant differences in the sex, age, immunophenotype, organ infiltration and urinary protein between the two groups (all P>0.05). The proportion of high creatinine level and intramedullary recurrence rate in the abnormal group were significantly higher than those in the normal group [55.6%(5/9 cases) vs.0(0/15 cases), P=0.003; 66.7%(6/9 cases) vs.20.0%(3/15 cases), P=0.036]. The survival analysis indicated that the 3-year cumulative survival in the abnormal group was significantly lower than that of normal group (17.3% vs.72.7%, χ2=4.047, P< 0.05). Conclusions:For children with unexplained renal involvement as the initial manifestation, clinicians should consider the possibility of leukemic renal infiltration or nephrogenic lymphoma.Physical examinations of the liver, spleen and lymph nodes, morphological analysis of peripheral blood cells, bone marrow examination and renal biopsy are important to make a definite diagnosis in time.Children with imaging abnormalities caused by leukemic renal infiltration are more likely to relapse and have a lower survival rate, which may be a poor prognostic factor for ALL.

Objective To investigate the gut microbial profiles of gestational mellitus diabetes (GDM) patients before and after treatment,and the relationship between gut microbiota and blood glucose level measured in 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).Methods A prospective cohort-based nested case-control study was conducted in Peking University First Hospital from October 2016 to December 2017.Forty-five pregnancies at 24-28 gestational weeks with GDM (GDM group) and 45 healthy gravidas (control group)matched for age and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) were involved.Stool samples of all participants were collected before (24-28 gestational weeks) and after (36-40 gestational weeks) treatment.The V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was sequenced on the Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform,and the results were analyzed.QIIME software was used for bioinformatics analysis.Student's t-test,Mann-Whitney U test,and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis.Results (1) Before treatment,the Alpha diversity of the GDM group was significantly reduced compared with that of the control group (Chaol index:443.9±72.9 vs 474.0± 63.3,t=2.104,P＜0.05;Shannon index:5.6±0.5 vs 6.0±0.5,t=2.002,P＜0.05),and a significant difference in Beta diversity was also observed between the two groups (R2=0.04,P＜0.05).However,a significant difference was shown in neither Alpha nor Beta diversity between the two groups after the treatment.(2) Before treatment,the relative abundances of Blautia and Faecalibacterium of the GDM group were significantly higher than those of the control group [M (P25-P75):0.016 (0.009-0.022) vs 0.011 (0.007-0.016),U=782.000;0.114 (0.076-0.14 1) vs 0.091 (0.061-0.126),U=752.000;both P＜0.05],but the relative abundances ofAkkermansia,Odoribacter and Butyricimonas were significantly lower [0.001 (0.000-0.002) vs 0.001 (0.000-0.005),U=745.000;0.001 (0.000-0.004) vs 0.004 (0.001-0.006),U=766.500;0.001 (0.000-0.003) vs 0.003 (0.001-0.005),U=710.000;all P＜0.05].(3) A negative relationship was found between the fasting glucose level of OGTT and the relative abundances of Akkermansia,Odoribacter and Butyricimonas (r=-0.325,-0.273 and-0.284;all P＜0.05),and between the one-hour-OGTT glucose level and the relative abundances of Akkermansia and Butyricimonas (r=-0.285 and -0.265,both P＜0.05).The two-hour-OGTT glucose level was positively related to the relative abundance of Faecalibacterium (r=0.278,P＜0.05),but negatively related to the relative abundance ofAkkermansia (r=-0.245,P＜0.05).The area under the OGTT time-glucose curve was negatively related to the relative abundances of Akkermansia and Butyricimonas (r=-0.321 and-0.264,both P＜0.05).Conclusions There are significant differences in gut microbial composition and structure between GDM and healthy pregnant women,which are significantly associated with OGTT blood glucose level.Euglycemia achieved after GDM management could improve gut microbiota disorder.

We report a woman with twin pregnancy who suffered from repeated late postpartum hemorrhage at 16 days and 22 days after a cesarean section. Tortuous myometrial vessels with significant flow signal on the uterus were discovered through color Doppler ultrasonography. In both occasions, vaginal bleeding was reduced after uterotonic administration, and Doppler ultrasound found gradually narrowed tortuous tubular myometrial vessels and no further massive vaginal bleeding. Regular Doppler ultrasonography follow-up is of vital importance for the diagnosis and monitoring of recurrent late postpartum hemorrhage.
