Objective:To analysis the risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) in pregnant women with valvular heart disease (VHD) and to construct a risk prediction model.Methods:The clinical data of 245 pregnant women with VHD who were hospitalized in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 1, 2012, to June 1, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including general information, pre-pregnancy and pregnancy-associated cardiac conditions, and MACE. Univariate analysis and logistic regression models were employed to identify risk factors for MACE during pregnancy among pregnant women with VHD. Furthermore, a predictive model was constructed and internal validation was conducted using bootstrap techniques.Results:(1) Among 245 pregnant women with VHD, the incidence of MACE was 18.0% (44/245), and the most common MACE was heart failure (61.4%, 27/44). The mitral valve was the most frequently affected valve (64.9%, 159/245). Prior to pregnancy, the most common type of valve surgery undertaken was mechanical valve replacement, representing 31.4% (77/245) of surgeries. In contrast, among those pregnant women who did not undergo valve surgery before pregnancy, the most common lesion type was mitral regurgitation (17.6%, 43/245). (2) Comparing the maternal and infant outcomes of warfarin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and LMWH sequential with warfarin, the fetal loss rate (36%, 15/42) and malformation rate (7%, 3/42) were the highest, but the MACE rate (12%, 5/42) was the lowest in warfarin group. The fetal loss rate (1/19), malformation rate (1/19) and artificial valve thrombosis rate (0) of LMWH sequential with warfarin were the lowest, and the fetal loss rate and artificial valve thrombosis rate of the three anticoagulation methods were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (3) There were no significant differences in gestational age, age of diagnosis of heart disease, weight at delivery, pre-pregnancy body mass index, proportion of multiparous women and chronic medical history between women with MACE and those without MACE (all P>0.05). (4) Binary logistic regression analysis identified the following as risk factors for MACE during the second trimester of pregnancy among pregnant women with VHD: pre-pregnancy cardiac symptoms, history of corrective surgery for congenital heart disease, pregnancy risk grade Ⅴ, anticoagulation with LMWH during pregnancy, and arrhythmia (all P<0.05). Based on the results of multivariate analysis, a receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed, with an area under the curve of 0.837, indicating good discriminative ability. The calibration plot demonstrated a close alignment between the standard curve and the calibration prediction curve, suggesting excellent calibration of the model. Conclusions:Pregnant women with VHD are at a high risk of experiencing MACE during gestation. Five risk factors, including pre-pregnancy cardiac symptoms, history of corrective surgery for congenital heart disease, pregnancy risk grade Ⅴ, anticoagulation with LMWH, and arrhythmia, could aid in identifying high-risk pregnant women.

Objective This study aimed to use platinum resistance-related(PRR)genes to classify ovarian cancer(OV)patients and establish a prognostic risk model,in order to provide reference for individualized clinical treatment and related mechanism research of OV patients.Methods The univariate Cox regression was used to screen PRR genes with prognostic value,unsupervised consensus clustering was used for subtyping,and the prognostic differences were compared between subtypes.LASSO regression analy-sis was used to further screen prognosis related PRR genes and construct platinum resistance related gene scores(PRR-GS),com-bined with clinical information,constructed a prognostic risk model for OV patients,and validated it.Results Univariate Cox regres-sion analysis identified 68 platinum resistance related genes that were associated with patient prognosis.Unsupervised consensus clus-tering identified 2 subtypes of OV,with C1 group patients having a better prognosis.Twelve genes were used to construct prognostic markers for PRR genes score,and the area under the ROC curves at 1,3,and 5 years were all above 0.700.Age,stage,and PRR-GS were independent factors affecting prognosis in multivariate Cox regression analysis.The model's C-index was 0.719,and the areas under the ROC curves for 1-year,3-year,and 5-year overall survival rates were 0.774,0.758,and 0.768,respectively.The calibra-tion curve and decision curve analysis showed that the model had good predictive performance.Conclusion Two subtypes of OV pa-tients were identified,each with differences in immune microenvironment,prognosis,and other aspects.The platinum resistance gene prognostic score is an independent risk factor,and when combined with clinical variables,it can effectively predict patient survival out-comes.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the liver. MRI has become an important imaging method for non-invasive diagnosis and evaluation of HCC in clinics because of its advantageous aspects, such as its non-radiative nature, superior detection, and qualitative accuracy over CT and ultrasound. Various MRI techniques, including hepatobiliary-specific contrast agents, magnetic resonance elastography, diffusion-weighted imaging, and others, can diagnose HCC or evaluate its malignant biological behavior from different dimensions such as blood supply, cell function, tissue hardness, and water molecule diffusion. This article introduces the current status and prospects of various MRI techniques for HCC diagnosis and evaluation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of total glucosides of paeony （TGP） on enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside （TWP） in the treatment of eczema. METHODS Totally 50 SD male rats were collected to establish eczema model by sensitizing with 2，4-dinitrofluorobenzene-acetone olive oil solution （volume ratio was 4∶1） on the abdominal area and provoking on the back and ear. Model rats were randomly divided into model group， loratadine group （0.9 mg/kg）， TWP group （9.45 mg/kg）， TGP group （162 mg/kg） and compatibility group （TWP 9.45 mg/kg+TGP 162 mg/kg）， with 10 rats in each group. Other 10 rats were collected to set as normal group. Three days after the first sensitization， administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically， and normal group and model group were given constant volume of 0.1% CMC-Na solution intragastrically， once a day， for consecutive 21 d. Twenty-four hours later after the final administration， the general condition of rats in each group was observed， and the eczema area and severity index （EASI） were scored； ear swelling degree of rats was measured， and the skinhistomorphology observation and pathological score were performed； protein expressions of p38 mitogen-activated 13938427612@126.com protein kinase （p38 MAPK）， phosphorylated p38 MAPK （p- MAPK） and phosphorylation level of p38 MAPK in rat skin tissue were detected； the levels of inflammatory indexes （interleukin-4， interferon- γ）， liver and kidney function indexes [glutamic-pyruvic transaminase （GPT）， glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase （GOT）， serum creatinine （SCr） and blood urea nitrogen （BUN）] and oxidant stress indexes [total superoxide dismutase （T-SOD） and malondialdehyde （MDA）] were measured. RESULTS Compared with normal group， EASI score， ear swelling degree， pathological score， protein expressions of p38 MAPK and p-p38 MAPK， phosphorylation level of p38 MAPK， the levels of inflammatory indexes and BUN were all increased significantly in model group （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， EASI scores， ear swelling degree， pathological scores， protein expressions of p38 MAPK and p-p38 MAPK， phosphorylation levels of p38 MAPK and levels of inflammatory indexes were all improved significantly in administration groups （P＜0.05）. The levels of GPT， GOT， SCr and BUN were increased significantly in TWP group， while the serum levels of GOT and SCr in TGP group and serum level of SCr in loratadine group were all decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. The levels of T-SOD in liver and kidney tissue were all decreased significantly in TWP group and compatibility group， while the levels of MDA were increased significantly （P＜0.05）. The compatibility group showed more obvious effect in improving the ear swelling degree， pathological score， p38 MAPK expression and its phosphorylation level and levels of inflammatory indexes， and could reverse the abnormality of liver and kidney indexes caused by TWP （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The combination of TGP and TWP has the effects of anti-inflammatory， synergistic and hepatorenal detoxification in eczema model rats. Its mechanism may be associated with down-regulating the expression of serum proinflammatory indexes and inhibiting the activation of p38 MAPK pathway.

Penetrating head injury is a serious open cranial injury. In civilians, it is often caused by non-missile, low velocity flying objects that penetrate the skull through a weak cranial structure, forming intracranial foreign bodies. The intracranial foreign body can be displaced due to its special quality, shape, and location. In this paper, we report a rare case of right-to-left displacement of an airgun lead bullet after transorbital entry into the skull complicated by posttraumatic epilepsy, as a reminder to colleagues that intracranial metal foreign bodies maybe displaced intraoperatively. In addition, we have found that the presence of intracranial metallic foreign bodies may be a factor for the posttraumatic epilepsy, and their timely removal appears to be beneficial for epilepsy control.

Infectious bone defect is bone defect with infection or as a result of treatment of bone infection. It requires surgical intervention, and the treatment processes are complex and long, which include bone infection control,bone defect repair and even complex soft tissue reconstructions in some cases. Failure to achieve the goals in any step may lead to the failure of the overall treatment. Therefore, infectious bone defect has been a worldwide challenge in the field of orthopedics. Conventionally, sequestrectomy, bone grafting, bone transport, and systemic/local antibiotic treatment are standard therapies. Radical debridement remains one of the cornerstones for the management of bone infection. However, the scale of debridement and the timing and method of bone defect reconstruction remain controversial. With the clinical application of induced membrane technique, effective infection control and rapid bone reconstruction have been achieved in the management of infectious bone defect. The induced membrane technique has attracted more interests and attention, but the lack of understanding the basic principles of infection control and technical details may hamper the clinical outcomes of induced membrane technique and complications can possibly occur. Therefore, the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized domestic orthopedic experts to formulate An evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique ( version 2023) according to the evidence-based method and put forward recommendations on infectious bone defect from the aspects of precise diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, operation procedure, postoperative management and rehabilitation, so as to provide useful references for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic efficiency of multiple forms of microdissected perforator flaps in the reconstruction of limb defect.Methods:The data of patients treated in the Department of Hand Surgery of Xuzhou Renci Hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 for repairing wound of hands, feet, limbs and popliteal fosses with microdissected perforator flap were retrospectively analyzed. CT angiography and color Doppler ultrasound were performed in all patients before surgery to locate perforator vessels, design the donor flap, and cut the flap retrograde according to the design line. After confirming good blood supple, the flap was harvested under the microscope, and fat particles were cut around the vascular pedicle by "insect eating" technique. After that, the flap was transferred to the recipient area, completed the vascular anastomosis, and placed the drainage tube. The donor site was closed directly. The blood circulation of the flap was observed closely after operation. Regular follow-up visits were conducted in outpatient clinics, door-to-door visits and WeChat to record sensory recovery and complications. Postoperative wound healing, flap shape, flap sensation, flap temperature and scar in donor area were evaluated using the efficacy satisfaction scale, which was divided into four grades: excellent (2 points), good (1 point), fair (0 point) and poor (-1 point). The total score of 5-10 was satisfactory, 0-4 was average, and -1--5 was unsatisfactory.Results:A total of 16 patients were included, including 8 males and 8 females. The age ranged from 26 to 65 years, with an average age of 45.9 years. There were 2 cases of upper limb soft tissue defect, 2 cases of hand degloving injury, 11 cases of hand skin soft tissue defect, and 1 case of popliteal soft tissue defect. The wound size ranged from 3.0 cm×4.5 cm to 13.0 cm×30.0 cm. Free medial sural artery perforator flap was used in 4 cases, interosseous dorsal artery perforator flap in 1 case, anterolateral femoral perforator flap in 6 cases, thoracic umbilical flap in 1 case, anterolateral femoral perforator flap combined with superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap in 1 case, and superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap in 3 cases. The size of the skin flap was 3.5 cm×5.0 cm - 9.5 cm×30.0 cm. After operation, 15 cases of flaps successfully survived, 1 case of venous crisis occurred 1 day after operation, and successfully survived after exploration and re-anastomosis of blood vessels. The wounds in the donor area healed in one stage without wound infection, delayed healing and other complications. All patients were follow-up for 7 to 18 months (mean 12.1 months), the skin flap survived well, no pigmentation, bloated appearance, and no patients requested secondary thinning treatment. The skin flap sensation recovered light touch in 1 case, protective sense in 9 cases and deep touch only in 6 cases. No significant thickening of skin flap was observed in the later period of follow-up, and skin flap wear was observed in 1 patient. There were only linear scars left in the donor area, and there were no obvious abnormalities in appearance and function. Efficacy satisfaction evaluation showed that all patients were satisfied with the therapeutic effect, scoring 6-9 points, with an average of 7.8 points.Conclusion:Microdissected perforator flap technique provides a one-stage surgical solution for aesthetic and functional areas with high requirements, and satisfactory clinical efficiencies can be obtained.

Objective:To effectively express the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in Pichia pastoris and to evaluate its immunogenicity. Methods:The gene encoding the RBD protein was synthesized and cloned into the pPICZαA plasmid. After linearization, the plasmid was transferred and integrated into the genome of Pichia pastoris. The expressed RBD protein in culture supernatant was analyzed by Western blot and Biolayer interferometry. After screening, a single clone expressing the RBD protein was selected. The high-level expression of RBD protein was achieved by optimizing the fermentation process, including the salt concentration adjusting of the medium and induction condition optimization (pH, temperature and duration). The immunogenicity of the expressed RBD protein was evaluated in a mouse model. Results:A single clone with a high expression level of RBD protein was obtained and named RBD-X33. The expression level of RBD protein in the fermentation supernatant reached up to 240 mg/L after optimization of the induction condition (HBSM medium, pH=6.5±0.3, 22℃ and 120 h). In the mouse experiment, the recombinant RBD protein was formulated with Alum+ CpG dual adjuvant and injected into mice. The binding IgG antibody levels were up to 2.7×10 6 tested by ELISA and the neutralizing antibody levels were up to 726.8 tested by live virus neutralizing antibody assay (prototype). Conclusions:The RBD protein could be efficiently expressed in Pichia pastoris and induce stronger immune response in animals. This study suggested that the recombinant SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein expressed in Pichia pastoris could serve as a candidate antigen in the development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
