Objective:To determine the diagnostic accuracy and prognosis of fetal congenital heart disease (CHD) detected by ultrasound at 11-13 weeks gestation.Methods:Fetuses at 11 to 13 + 6 weeks gestation in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between January 2015 and December 2022 were prospectively collected. Standrardized ultrasound was used to examine the fetuses. For the suspected fetal CHD, the section of cardiac ultrasound was improved as far as possible, and ultrasonic results, prenatal diagnosis, pathological anatomy and pregnancy outcome were followed up. Results:A total of 539 cases of CHD were detected in 72 242 fetuses with mixed risk in the first trimester, the incidence was 0.75% (539/72 242). The incidence of CHD in the fetuses with positive soft markers was 9.20% (287/3 118), and the incidence of multiple fetal malformations was 16.22% (235/1 449). The diagnostic accordance rate of complex CHD was 97.42%. For complex CHD, the sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate and false negative rate of first-trimester ultrasound were 90.41%, 99.98%, 0.02%, 9.59%. Combined with the results of this study, the abnormal section model of complex CHD was recommended. A total of 252 cases underwent staining chromosomal microarray or gene sequencing, of which 42.46% (107/252) were positive.Conclusions:Standardized ultrasound examination has a very high detection rate for fetal CHD in the first trimester. Transverse scanning of the heart can significantly improve the display of gray scale cardiac section, and reference to the cardiac section pattern map is beneficial to the early diagnosis of fetal CHD.

Objective To investigate the effect of Yam gruel on postoperative incision healing in patients with Type Ⅱ diabetes and complicated with colorectal cancer,hence to provide a better diet plan for postoperative incision healing.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 92 patients with Type Ⅱ diabetes who were complicated with colorectal cancer and underwent surgery of laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer in a general hospital in Fujian province.IBM SPSS 25.0 software was used to randomly divide the patients into control group and trial group,with 46 patients per group.Conventional postoperative treatment and care was offered to the patients in control group,while patients in the trial group,after anal exhaust,consumed Yam gruel made from Chinese Yam along with the remaining breakfast after deducting an 84 kcal of energy produced by the gruel for 3 weeks.The two groups were compared in terms of the post-intervention healing time,healing grade,incidence of poor incision healing,and changes in blood glucose before intervention,at 1 week and 3 weeks post-intervention.Results Forty-four patients completed the trial in the trial group,with two left at the third week of intervention.A total of 45 patients completed the study in the control group,with one dropped out of the follow-up after 3 weeks of intervention.After intervention,the incision healing time in the trial group was significantly shorter than that of the control group(P<0.05).Additionally,the healing grade was better(P<0.05),and the incidence of incision infections was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Repeated measures ANOVA revealed that there were statistically significances in both groups in either main effects on fasting blood glucose and blood glucose at 2 hours after breakfast(all P<0.001).Particularly,at Week 1 and Week 3 post-intervention,the trial group showed both lower fasting blood glucose and blood glucose at 2 hours after breakfast compared with those in the control group(both P<0.01).Conclusion Yam gruel can reduce the time for incision healing,improve the quality of incision healing and regulate blood sugar.

In recent years， the incidence of pulmonary nodules has kept rising. To give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of pulmonary nodules and identify the breakthrough points of integrating TCM with Western medicine， the China Association of Chinese Medicine organized medical experts in TCM and western medicine to carry out in-depth discussion regarding this disease. The discussion encompassed the modern medical advances， TCM theories of etiology and pathogenesis， the role and advantages of TCM in the whole course management of pulmonary nodules， contents and methods of research on pulmonary nodules， and science popularization work， aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice and scientific research. After discussion， the experts concluded that the occurrence of pulmonary nodules was rooted in the deficiency of the lung and spleen and triggered by phlegm dampness， blood stasis， and Qi stagnation. TCM can treat pulmonary nodules by controlling and reducing nodules， improving physical constitution， ameliorating multi-system nodular diseases， reducing anxiety and avoiding excessive diagnosis and treatment， and serving as an alternative for patients who are unwilling or unfit for surgical treatment. At present， the optimal diagnosis and treatment strategy for pulmonary nodules has not been formed， which needs to be further studied from multiple perspectives such as clinical epidemiology， biology， and evidence-based medicine. The primary task of current research is to find out the advantages， effective prescriptions， and target populations and determine the effective outcomes of TCM in the treatment of pulmonary nodules. At the same time， basic research should be carried out to explore the etiology and biological behaviors of pulmonary nodules. The expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules with integrated TCM and Western medicine needs to be continuously revised to guide clinicians to conduct standardized， scientific， and accurate effective diagnosis and treatment.
