This paper reviewed the literature on the volatile oil of Angelicae Sinensis Radix in the past ten years, the chemical components of Angelicae Sinensis Radix were sorted out and the factors affecting the chemical components were summarized, focusing on its anti-hypotensive, ischemia-reperfusion injury protection, asthma and other active effects, in order to provide reference for the further development and utilization of the volatile oil of Angelicae Sinensis Radix.

Objective:To understand the gene carrying rate of neonatal genetic deafness in Dalian area, and to analyze the pedigree of 6 newborns with positive deafness gene test, to provide a reference basis for preventing genetic deafness.Methods:A total of 1 536 newborns born in Dalian Women′s and Children′s Medical Center (Group) from January to October in 2022 were retrospectively enrolled to detect the 4 genes of hereditary deafness, including GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4 (PDS) and MT-RNRI (12SrRNA). Among them, 6 newborns with hereditary deafness were tested for NGS Panel gene.Results:A total of 85 deafness gene mutations were detected in 1 536 newborns, with the total carrying rate of 5.53% (85/1 536). Thirty-two cases of GJB2 mutations with carrying rate of 2.08% (32/1 536); 4 cases of GJB3 mutation of 0.26% (4/1 536); 32 cases of SLC26A4 (PDS) gene mutations of 2.08% (32/1 536); 14 cases of MT-RNRI (12SrRNA) mutations with carrying rate of 0.91% (14/1 536); 2 cases had compound heterozygous mutations of GJB2/GJB3, with a carrier rate of 0.13% (2/1 536); 1 cases had compound heterozygous mutations of GJB2/SLC26A4 (PDS), with a carrier rate of 0.07% (1/1 536); 1 case of compound heterozygous mutation in three-gene and a heterozygous mutation in KCNQ4 were detected in NGS Panel testing for hereditary deafness.Conclusions:Homozygous mutation and compound heterozygous mutation are the main factors of autosomal recessive gene deafness, and the NGS Panel gene detection is of great significance for gene traceability and the detection of rare deafness gene.

Objective:To analyze the results of the joint screening of newborn hearing and deafness genes in Dalian to provide a reference for the prevention and control of hereditary deafness.Methods:Eight hundred and forty-two neonates born in Dalian Women and Children′s Medical Group from January 1, 2022 to May 30, 2022 were screened retrospectively, using AABR (automatic brainstem evoked potential). And 20 mutation sites of common genetic deafness 4 genes , including GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4 (PDS) and mitochondrial genes associated with drug-induced deafness (MT-RNRI)(12SrRNA), were detected by high-throughput sequencing.Results:Among the 842 newborns, 840 passed hearing screening (99.8%); 36 cases (4.3%) passed the hearing screening but not the hearing loss gene screening; 804 cases passed through the both screening (95.5%); 2 cases (0.24%) failed in the both screening. 38 cases of deafness gene mutations were detected, with a total carrying rate of 4.51% (38/842). Among them, the carrying rates of heterozygous mutations in GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4 (PDS), MT-RNRI (12SrRNA) were 1.90%, 0.24%, 1.30%, and 0.95%, respectively. The carrying rates of GJB2/GJB3 composite heterozygous mutations were 0.12%.Conclusions:The combined screening of neonatal hearing and deafness genes can reduce the missed rate of hearing screening. The carrier rate of neonatal deafness gene in Dalian is 4.51%, with the highest GJB 2 carrier rate, followed by SLC26A4 (PDS) carrier rate.

【Objective】 To reduce the incidence of postoperative intestinal obstruction, we tried to improve surgical techniques by closing the cavity formed during radical cystectomy + ileal passage (Bricker) via laparoscopy to prevent the formation of abdominal hernia. 【Methods】 During Oct.2018 and Feb.2022, 41 patients were involved (conventional group). After standard laparoscopic radical cystectomy + pelvic lymphadenectomy, the ileum channel was established. The right medial retroperitoneum was sutured to cover the mesothelium and end of the ileum channel under open operation or endoscope. The space between the ureter and mesothelium of the ileum channel was sealed, and the end of the ileum channel and both ureters were externalized. During Feb.2022 and Dec.2022, 15 patients were involved (modified group). The right inner and outer lateral peritoneums below the ileal conduit were sutured to "bottom out" the gap between the ileal conduit and the right abdominal wall in addition to standard procedures. The recovery of intestinal function and incidence of bowel obstruction were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 In the conventional group, the intestinal function recovered within 2 to 6 days after surgery, with a median ventilation time of 3 days. Intestinal obstruction occurred in 3 patients, 2 of whom improved after conservative treatment while 1 underwent surgical exploration after ineffective conservative therapy. There were no significant differences in the time of discharge and ventilation between the two groups, but no intestinal obstruction occurred in the modified group. 【Conclusion】 Peritoneal externalization at the end of ileal passage can reduce the incidence of intra-abdominal hernia and postoperative intestinal obstruction, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To explore the application value of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) technology in twin pregnancy.Methods:A total of 339 twin pregnant women who underwent NIPT at Dalian Municipal Women and Children′s Medical Center(Group), Dalian Jinpu New District Maternity and Child Health Hospital, and Dalian Lvshunkou District People′s Hospital from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021 were continuously retrospectively included. The clinical characteristics and test results of pregnant women with high-risk and low-risk were analyzed.Results:Among 339 pregnant women, 336 were successfully tested, with a success rate of 99.12%(336/339); 6 pregnant women were at high risk of NIPT, with a positive screening rate of 1.77%(6/339), including 1 case of high risk of trisomy 13, 2 cases of high risk of trisomy 18, and 3 cases of high risk of Trisomy 21; the results of amniocentesis for 2 high-risk pregnant women were not abnormal.Conclusions:NIPT technology is non-invasive, safe and efficient, and is suitable for large-scale prenatal screening. However, the detection accuracy of pregnant women with twin pregnancy needs to be improved.

Objective:To improve the prenatal recognition and diagnostic accuracy of isolated tricuspid valve dysplasia (TVD) by analyzing fetal echocardiographic features.Methods:The fetal echocardiographic features of 7 cases with prenatal diagnosis of TVD were analyzed retrospectively in Pediatric Cardiovascular Center, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University and Children′s Hospital of Shanxi from June 2012 to December 2020. The fetal echocardiographic characteristics of TVD were summarized.Results:Among the 7 fetuses with TVD, 6 cases showed functional pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and different degrees of pulmonary valve regurgitation, and 1 case showed slightly narrowed pulmonary artery. Characteristic sonographical findings included: ①The axis of heart was exaggerated left-axis deviation and the ratio of cardiothoracic was obviously increased. The right heart was enlarged, in which the right atrium was significantly dilated (an important feature of TVD). ②The position of tricuspid valve ring was normal, the attachment point of each leaf was normal, some tricuspid valves were thickened and insufficiency. ③It was common to be complicated with functional pulmonary valve atresia with intact ventricular septum or severe pulmonary valve stenosis. ④Color Doppler imaging showed severe tricuspid regurgitation and the regurgitation velocity was less than 350 cm/s (an important feature of TVD). ⑤In fetus with functional pulmonary valve atresia with intact ventricular septum, color Doppler imaging showed retrograded ductal flow across the pulmonary artery and the different degrees regurgitation of pulmonary valve.Conclusions:Fetal TVD has typical echocardiographic features, mainly including large tricuspid regurgitation and significant enlargement of the right atrium. The prognosis of fetus with functional pulmonary atresia is poor. Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in prenatal consultation and prognosis evaluation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of seminal plasma polymorphonuclear neutrophil elastase(PMNE) concentration and semen quality in male infertility.Methods:Semen samples of 941 patients admitted to the andrology department from June 2017 to December 2018 in Dalian Municipal Women and Children′s Medical Center were selected. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) fifth edition standards, the positive group had a leukocyte content ≥ 1 × 10 9/L, and the negative group had a leukocyte content < 1 × 10 9/L; the samples were divided into the inflammatory group and the non-inflammatory group with the PMNE concentration of 600 μg/L as the cut-off point, and the relationship between the PMNE, semen parameters and mycoplasma positive rate was analyzed; the samples were divided into sterile group and normal group according to WHO standard, and the relationships among semen routine parameters, PMNE concentration and mycoplasma positive rate were analyzed. Results:PMNE in the positive group was significantly higher than that in the negative group [(1823.29 ± 557.64) × 10 9/L vs. (480.60 ± 195.36) × 10 9/L], and PMNE concentration was positively correlated with leukocyte content ( P<0.05); the semen quality of the inflammatory group decreased, and the positive rate of mycoplasma was higher than that of the non-inflammatory group [(23.7%(71/299) vs. 11.5%(74/642)] ( P<0.05). The semen quality of the sterile group decreased, and the PMNE and mycoplasma positive rate were both higher than that in the normal group [(1 230.89 ± 489.09) × 10 9/L) vs. (596.78 ± 159.25) × 10 9/L, 34.7%(90/259) vs. 8.1%(55/682)]( P<0.05). Conclusions:There is a good correlation between the concentration of PMNE and the leukocyte content, which can be used as an index to evaluate the male reproductive system infection. The concentration of PMNE is closely related to semen quality, which has clinical value in the diagnosis of male infertility.

Objective To analyze of the prevalence of encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (EFVPTC) and noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) by 2017 World Health Organization ( WHO) classification of tumors of endocrine organs in Guiyang. Methods A retrospectively analysis of patients who had a thyroid surgery and confirmed thyroid cancer by pathological diagnosis in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from 2009 to 2016. PTC and FVPTC by 2014 WHO classification of tumors of endocrine organs , and according to the 2017 WHO classification of tumors of endocrine organs ,the thyroid papillary carcinomas were reviewed and some had been confirmed as EFVPTC and NIFTP, with analysis of the prevalence and prognosis of NIFTP. Results Of the 1207 cases of thyroid carcinoma, 1150 cases were papillary carcinoma, the constituent ratio of thyroid carcinoma was 95.28％, the FVPTC was 72 cases, and the proportion of thyroid carcinoma was 5. 97％; the proportion of FVPTC in thyroid carcinoma decreased from 2009 to 2016 ( P <0.05). After pathological sections being reviewed, 10 cases had been confirmed as non-encapsulated infiltrative FVPTC, the ratio of thyroid cancer to thyroid cancer was 0.83％; EFVPTC was found in 62 cases, accounting for 5.14％ of thyroid carcinoma, these included 2 cases of NIFTP confirmed by the 2017 WHO classification of tumors of endocrine organs and 60 cases encapsulated invasive FVPTC, the percentage of thyroid carcinoma was 0.17％ and 4.97％. 62 cases of EFVPTC with the exception of 11 cases without further visit, while the remaining 51 cases of EFVPTC were followed up. Death, local or distant metastases were defined as adverse events. An adverse event was seen in 11 of 49 of the cases of invasive EFVPTC, including 2 died of disease; The NIFTP were alive with no evidence of disease. Conclusion The diagnosis of NIFTP according to new WHO classification of endocrine organ tumors in 2017 has little expected impact in Guiyang.
