1.Recognizing hepatic manifestations in rheumatic diseases
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2025;41(5):801-805
The liver is one of the organs most commonly affected by rheumatic diseases. Hepatic abnormalities in patients with rheumatic diseases can result from a variety of factors, including direct liver involvement by the disease itself, coexistence with primary liver disease, and drug-induced liver injury. When liver indicators are abnormal, a thorough differential diagnosis is required. For unexplained liver dysfunction, routine testing for autoantibodies should be performed to facilitate early identification of underlying autoimmune liver disease. If the etiology remains unclear, a liver biopsy is recommended for a final diagnosis if feasible. Alongside active management of rheumatic diseases, it is necessary to closely monitor liver function, avoid the use of agents that may exacerbate hepatic damage, particularly anti-rheumatic drugs with strong hepatotoxicity, and tailor treatment strategies according to personal specific conditions, so as to minimize liver damage and improve long-term outcome.

Objective:To assess the effects of nutritional interventions combined with Traditional Chinese Med-icine(TCM)physical dialectics on the development of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),dietary status during pregnancy,and maternal and infant outcomes in high-risk pregnant women in early pregnancy.Methods:298 high-risk pregnant women with GDM in early pregnancy(gestational week≤14 weeks)registered in the Obstet-rics Department of Urumqi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from 1st December 2022 to 30th March 2023 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into the intervention group(149 cases)and the control group(149 cases).During 14 to 23+6 weeks of pregnancy,TCM constitution nutritional intervention was carried out for pregnant women in the intervention group,and routine guidance and healthy dietary education was carried out in the control group.The incidence of GDM in the two groups was compared at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy,and the relationship between early pregnancy nutritional intervention combined with TCM constitution and the risk of GDM was analysed in subgroups using logistic regression and likelihood ratio test.The dietary situation,biochemical in-dexes and delivery outcomes after the intervention were compared at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy.Results:①The incidence of GDM in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group(14.09%vs.23.49%,P<0.05).The effect of the TCM constitution based nutritional intervention on the risk probability of GDM was statistically significant only among pregnant women with different ranges of gestational weight gain(GWG)(P=0.018).Among them,pregnant women with GWG lower than the recommended range had a reduced risk of GDM after intervention(OR 0.27,95%Cl 0.10-0.68,P=0.008).② After intervention,the evaluation index of di-etary balance index of pregnant women in the intervention group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05),and the intake of cereals and potatoes,vegetables,and water of pregnant women in late pregnancy in the intervention group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).③The levels of triglycerides,total choles-terol,low-density lipoprotein,glycated haemoglobin,uric acid and creatinine of pregnant women in the intervention group were lower than those of the control group in late pregnancy(P<0.05).GWG,gestational age at delivery,the rate of low-birth-weight,and the neonatal 1-minute Apgar scores were all better than those of the control group(P<0.05.Conclusions:Nutritional interventions in early pregnancy combined with TCM constitution can sig-nificantly reduce the incidence of GDM in high-risk pregnant women and the chances of low-birth-weight babies.Obstetrics outpatient clinics can actively develop extensive collaboration with TCM and clinical nutrition depart-ments to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus.

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of frontal recess cells variations in patients with frontal sinus associated headache according to the International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification(IFAC).METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on the CT scans of sinuses in patients with frontal sinus associated headache.We reviewed 46 patients with frontal sinus-related headache who had clinical symptoms and were relieved after nasal endoscopic surgery.The development of frontal recess cells in the frontal recess drainage area was analyzed,and the variation of middle meatus and sinus involvement were analyzed in the same time.The Anatomical variations and imaging characteristics of frontal recess cells development in patients with frontal sinus associated headache were analyzed.RESULTS A total of 92 sinus CT profiles were analyzed in 46 patients.The most common cells were agger nasi cell(ANC)(100%,92/92),followed by supra bulla cell(SBC)(78.3%,72/92),supra agger cell(SAC)(67.4%,62/92),supra bulla frontal cell(SBFC)(27.2%,25/92),supra agger frontal cell(SAFC)(20.7%,19/92),frontal septal cell(FSC)(8.7%,8/92)and supraorbital ethmoid cell(SOEC)(0%,0/92).In the conventional frontal sinus drainage area,SAFC(P=0.0108),SAC(P=0.0104)and SAFC(P=0.0088)in the IFAC classification were significantly associated with the occurrence of frontal sinus associated headache.At the same time,the middle concha bullosa also showed a significant correlation with the occurrence of frontal sinus associated headache in the lower segment of the frontal recess drainage channel(P=0.0390).CONCLUSION In the frontal recess drainage channel,the abnormal development of SAC,SAFC,SBFC and the middle concha bullosa are significantly correlated with frontal sinus associated headache.
