Objective : To investigate the effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on birth outcome and umbilical artery (UA) blood flow parameters in the third trimester, and to analyze the role of UA blood flow parameters in GDM and birth outcome. Methods : Based on the birth cohort from Wuhu , Anhui , China , 189 pregnant women with GDM were collected as the case group. The non⁃GDM pregnant women were matched 1 ∶ 1 according to age and pre⁃pregnancy body mass index , and 189 normal pregnant women were selected as the control group. Pregnant women with GDM were divided into poorly controlled group and well controlled group according to fasting blood glucose in the third trimester. The UA blood flow parameters and fetal birth outcomes in the third trimester were tracked. Results : Compared with the control group , UA parameters in poorly controlled and well controlled groups significantly increased (F = 6. 63 , P < 0. 05 ; F = 4. 43 , P < 0. 05 ; F = 5. 57 , P < 0. 05) . Poor glycemic control of GDM was associated with increased birth weight and risk of larger than gestational age. The multi⁃factor linear regression model showed that the Z score of the peak systolic velocity/end diastolic velocity (S/D) in the poorly controlled group was negatively correlated with birth weight (β = - 209. 78 , 95% CI: - 301. 48 - 118. 07) . S/D index Z score mediated the relationship between poor blood glucose control and birth weight. The intermediate effect value was - 58. 41 (95% CI: - 106. 40 ~ - 19. 65) , accounting for 25. 98% of the total effect. Conclusion Poor glycemic control in GDM is a risk factor for fetal weight gain , and UA function plays a partial mediating role in influencing neonatal birth weight. GDM pregnant women should strictly control blood glucose level to better protect maternal and infant health.

There was no death in the 346 patients. (3) Analysis of prognosis of patients with synchro-nous colorectal liver metastasis in 2000?2010 and 2011?2021. Of the 346 patients, 295 cases were followed up for 47(range, 1?108)months. Of the 29 patients admitted in 2000?2010 who were followed up, there were 27 cases died. The median survival time, 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates, 1-, 3-, 5-year disease free survival rates of patients admitted in 2000?2010 were 18.0 months (95% confidence interval as 12.7?23.3 months), 82.8%, 11.5%, 3.8%, 53.6%, 8.3%, 4.2%, respec-tively. Of the 266 patients admitted in 2011?2021 who were followed up, there were 109 cases died. The median survival time, 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates, 1-, 3-, 5-year disease free survival rates of patients admitted in 2011?2021 were 54.0 months (95% confidence interval as 38.1?70.4 months), 93.3%, 61.8%, 47.0%, 68.2%, 33.7%, 28.3%, respectively. There were significant differences in overall survival rate and disease free survival rate between patients admitted in 2000?2010 and 2011?2021 ( χ2=47.57, 9.17, P<0.05). Conclusions:With the increase of the operation volume of simultaneous resection of synchronous colorectal liver metastasis, the operation time, time to postoperative initial liquid food intake, postoperative duration of hospital stay and postoperative complications have significantly decreased, while the overall survival rate and disease free survival rate have significantly increased.

Objective : To investigate the correlation between nocturnal sleep duration combined with snoring in the first trimester of pregnancyand small for gestational age(SGA) ，large for gestational age(LGA) ． Methods : Multi- variate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between nocturnal sleep duration ，snoring， their combined effects and SGA，LGA. Results : Compared to nocturnal sleep duration 7 to 9 h in the first trimester of pregnancy，sleep duration＜7 h was positively correlated with SGA in male newborn( OR = 4. 22，95% CI : 1. 69 - 10. 52) ; After stratified by snoring，the sleep duration of snoring women＜7 h was positively correlated with SGA ( OR = 5. 68，95% CI : 1. 02－31. 51) ，and the sleep duration of non-snoring women＜7 h was positively correlated with LGA ( OR = 2. 10，95% CI : 1. 16 －3. 81) ． Conclusion Sleep duration＜7 h in the first trimester of preg- nancy is a risk factor for SGA and LGA，and snoring may enhance the association between sleep duration＜7 h in the first trimester of pregnancy and SGA．Pregnant women should keep adequate nocturnal sleep duration to reduce the risk of abnormal neonatal weight.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients with axillary lymph node metastasis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods:The data of 94 female patients with invasive breast cancer in Dongguan People′s Hospital of Guangdong Province from January 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients planned to receive 4-8 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.After chemotherapy, modified radical mastectomy was performed.Estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor(PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER-2) appeared for the first time in Chinese and English abstracts and texts positive patients received endocrine or targeted therapy.The rest patients received 2-4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy according to the situation.Lymph node metastasis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was analyzed.The relationship between lymph node metastasis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and clinicopathological features was analyzed.Risk factors for lymph node metastasis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the positive rate of axillary lymph node was 74.47%(70/94). The number of positive axillary lymph nodes, ER status, HER-2 status and cell proliferation-associated human nuclear antigen(Ki67), the completion of chemotherapy cycle, the pathological remission of axillary lymph nodes after chemotherapy and the T stage of tumor after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were associated with lymph node metastasis in patients with positive axillary lymph nodes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(χ 2=30.053, 10.233, 6.303, 7.666, 18.162, 10.148, 12.418; all P<0.05). More than 3 positive axillary lymph nodes( OR=2.788, 95% CI 1.253-5.318), ER positive( OR=3.298, 95% CI 1.744-7.837), Ki67 positive( OR=2.469, 95% CI 1.184-4.301)and pathological pPR( OR=4.197, 95% CI 2.168-13.788) were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(all P<0.05). Conclusion:Axillary lymph node-positive breast cancer patients have a high positive rate of axillary lymph nodes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.More than 3 positive axillary lymph nodes before operation, ER positive, Ki67 positive, and axillary lymph node pPR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy are independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate effects of implantation of pectoralis major fascia combined with serratus anterior fatty fascia flap prosthesis on breast reconstruction after early breast cancer surgery.Methods:A total of 62 patients with early breast cancer undergoing breast reconstruction in Dongguan People's Hospital of Guangdong Province from July 2017 to December 2019 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, 31 cases in each group. The control group was treated with pectoralis major fascia covering prosthesis for breast reconstruction, and the observation group was treated with pectoralis major fascia combined with serratus anterior fatty fascia flap covering prosthesis for breast reconstruction. The clinical data of the two groups were recorded, the postoperative aesthetic appearance of breast was evaluated. According to the function assessment of cancer therapy-breast cancer (FACT-B) was used to evaluate the score of quality of life before and after operation, and postoperative complications were also observed.Results:In the control group and the observation group, the intraoperative blood loss was (82.61±12.38) ml, (88.76±13.57) ml, respectively; and drainage tube extubation time was (3.51±0.62) d and (3.64±0.58) d, respectively; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t value was 1.864, 0.853, respectively, all P > 0.05). The operation time of the observation group was longer than that of the control group [(2.59±0.29) h vs. (1.72±0.32) h, t = 11.217, P < 0.001]. The amount of drainage of the control group was higher than that of the observation group [(215.45±47.69) ml vs. (151.36±31.67) ml, t = 6.233, P < 0.001]; the length of hospital stay of the control group was longer than that of the observation group [(14.51±2.32) d vs. (10.79±1.86) d, t = 6.965, P < 0.001]. The excellent and good rate of postoperative breast appearance of the observation group was higher than that of the control group [96.77% (30/31) vs. 74.19% (23/31), χ 2adjusted=4.679, P = 0.031]. There were no statistical differences in all items including health, emotion, function, society/family and other conditions scores of FACT-B and total scores in both groups before the operation (all P > 0.05); all items scores and total scores of both groups after the operation were higher than those before the operation (all P < 0.001), and the sores after the operation of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (all P < 0.001). The total incidence of postoperative complications was 6.45% (2/31) of the observation group, 22.58% (7/31) of the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2adjusted=2.080, P = 0.149). Conclusion:Breast reconstruction with implantation of pectoralis major fascia combined with serratus anterior fatty fascia flap prosthesis after early breast cancer surgery can shorten the postoperative hospital stay, improve the aesthetic appearance of breast, improve the long-term quality of life, and has a high safety.

Objective:To explore the method of predicting high lymph node load in patients with early breast cancer to avoid unnecessary sentinel lymph node biopsy.Methods:The clinicopathological and thoracic multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) data of 2620 patients with early (cT1~2N0M0) breast cancer treated in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2014 to August 1, 2018 were collected. According to the postoperative pathological results, the patients were divided into the group with axillaryhigh lymph node burden (HNB) and the non-HNB group. The influencing factors of axillary lymph node burden in patients with early breast cancer were determined by univariate and multivariate analysis, and the diagnostic model of MSCT to HNB was established. The best cutoff value for the diagnosis of HNB was determined through analyzing the receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curve, and the consistency between MSCT diagnosis and pathological diagnosis was evaluated by Kappa test. Results:Among the 2 620 patients, 168 were diagnosed of HNB. Univariate analysis showed that the tumor size, the status of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), the number of abnormal lymph nodes showed in MSCT, the ratio of the length to the diameter of the maximum abnormal lymph node as shown in MSCT, the condition of the maximum abnormal lymph node door, and the parenchyma of the maximum abnormal lymph node were related to axillary lymph node burden in patients with early breast cancer ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the number of abnormal lymph nodes showed in MSCT was an independent influencing factor of axillary HNB in patients with early breast cancer. Compared with patients without abnormal lymph nodes, the OR values of patients with 1, 2, 3 or more abnormal lymph nodes displayed by MSCT and in axillary HNB status were 3.305, 9.379, 126.163 and 780.953, respectively. Using 3 or more abnormal lymph nodes detected by MSCT to predict the area under the ROC curve of axillary HNB in patients with early breast cancer, the area was 0.928, the sensitivity was 82.1%, the specificity was 95.4%, and the accuracy was 94.5%. Kappa test showed that the consistency between MSCT diagnosis and pathological diagnosis was relatively high ( Kappa=0.629, P<0.001). Conclusions:The number of abnormal lymph nodes showed in MSCT is an independent influencing factor of axillary HNB in patients with early breast cancer. Taking 3 or more abnormal lymph nodes showed in MSCT as the threshold can help to predict the axillary HNB status of early breast cancer patients and exempt some of them from unnecessary sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical effect of laparoscopic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal Xing's orthotopic neobladder.Methods Forty-one patients who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal Xing's orthotopic neobladder from July 2013 to August 2019.There were 31 cases performed in Beijing Chaoyang hospital and 10 cases in National Cancer Center.Mean age was 59 (range 44-78) years,mean BMI was 25.3 (range 20.1-34.7) kg/m2,and mean CCI was 3 (range 2-6).No urethral stricture or urinary incontinence was found by preoperative examination.No distant metastasis was identified by bone scans,chest X-ray and sonography.Cystoscopy or TURBT was performed on all patients and biopsy was taken to confirm the diagnosis.Preoperative pathology showed 30 cases (73.2％) of MIBC,9 cases of NMIBC (22.0％) and 2 cases (4.9％) of in-situ cancer.Laparoscopic radical cystectomy and lymphadenectomy were performed under general anesthesia.Urinary diversion was completed in the peritoneal cavity,by intercepting the terminal ileum about 60 cm,and taking the proximal ileum 10 cm as input loop on the right side with proximal to distal way,and the middle 40 cm ileum was detubated.After u-shaped suture,the ileum was folded back and stitched into a sphere building a novd orthotopic neobladder with bilateral isoperistaltic afferent limbs.The prognosis of perioperative data and postoperative satisfaction regarding continence were analyzed,continence was defined as 0-1 pad/day.The 41 patients were divided into two groups to compare the difference in term of operation time and blood loss between the first 21 patients and the last 20 patients.Results Mean total operative time was 324.9 mins (range 210-480) mins,and mean estimated blood loss was 177.6(range 50-700) ml.There were significant statistical differences in term of total operation time,construction time and blood loss between the first 21 patients and the next 20 patients (P ＜ 0.05).Postoperative pathological results were urothelial carcinoma in 40 cases (2 in situ carcinoma) and small cell carcinoma in 1 case.Mean number of dissected lymph nodes was 19 (range 11-58),with 7 cases(17.1％)of positive lymph nodes,and 3 cases(7.3％) had positive surgical margin.At a mean follow up of 17.6 (range 2-64) months,36 patients (87.8％) survived,including 2 patients (4.9％) with metastasis and 1 patient (2.4％) with recurrence,and 5 cases (12.2％)died.All patients were able to urinate without catheterization.Thirty-seven patients (90.2％) were satisfied with voiding control during the daytime (0-1 urinal pad),and 29 patients (70.7％) were satisfied with voiding control at nighttime (0-1 urinal pad) by the follow-up 12 months after the operation.Conclusions Total laparoscopic radical cystectomy combined with Xing's orthotopic ileum neobladder is a simple method with fewer postoperative complications and a satisfactory continence rate.

Objective:To explore the predictive factors of pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for middle-low rectal cancer.Methods:A case-control study was conducted. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) colonoscopy, digital examination or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a distance from the lower edge of the tumor to the dentate line of no more than 10 cm; (2) complete clinicopathological data were available; (3) preoperative biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma; (4) preoperative pelvic MRI or endorectal ultrasonography was performed; (5) no distant metastasis was found. Exclusion criteria: (1) preoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy were not administrated according to the standard; (2) simultaneous multiple primary cancer and familial adenomatous polyposis were observed. According to the above criteria, clinicopathological data of 245 patients with middle-low rectal cancer undergoing preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in Changhai Hospital of Navy Medical University from January 2012 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analysis were used to identify the clinical factors predicting pCR. pCR is defined as complete disappearance of cancer cells under the microscope in cancer specimens (including lymph nodes) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.Results:A total of 72 patients with pCR were enrolled in this study. Univariate analysis showed that preoperative T stage, tumor circumference, tumor morphology, carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9, interval between the end of neoadjuvant therapy and operation were associated with pCR (all P<0.05). The above 5 variables were included in multivariate logistic analysis and the results revealed that the T stage (OR=5.743, 95% CI: 2.416-13.648, P<0.001), tumor circumference (OR=7.754, 95% CI: 3.822-15.733, P<0.001), tumor morphology (OR=0.264, 95% CI: 0.089-0.786, P=0.017) and the interval between the end of neoadjuvant therapy and operation (OR=0.303, 95% CI: 0.147-0.625, P=0.001) were independent predictive factors of pCR, while CA 19-9 level was not an independent factor (OR=1.873, 95% CI:0.372-9.436, P=0.447). Conclusion:By knowing the clinical features of preoperative T stage, tumor circumference, tumor morphology and the interval between neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and operation, patients with higher likelyhood of pCR after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy may be identified.

Objective:To explore the association between maternal bisphenol A (BPA) exposure during pregnancy and neurobehavioral development in infant.Methods:Participants were from the Ma’anshan Birth Cohort, which was established from October 2008 to October 2010 based on four municipal medical and health institutions in Ma'anshan. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was applied for the determination of serum BPA concentration in 1 783 pregnant women sampled at their first filing, and during 2.97 to 28.1 months age of the infants. Neurobehavioral development were assessed by 0-6-year-old pediatric examination table of neuropsychological development. Generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between serum BPA levels during pregnancy and infants’ neurobehavioral development.Results:A total of 931 mother-child pairs had complete data on serum BPA detection during pregnancy and assessment of infants’ neurobehavioral development status. The age of pregnant women at their first filing was (26.67±3.45) years old, and the M ( P25, P75) of serum BPA concentration (ng/ml) was 0.23 (0.11, 0.52), with a detection rate of 84.1% (783/931). The age of infants was (13.18±5.46) months, and 53.5% (498) were boys. The developmental quotient scores of large motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language ability and social behaviors of infants were (97.88±16.32), (97.16±15.35), (99.64±15.47), (95.3±16.04) and (98.95±14.76) points, respectively. Generalized linear model showed that after adjusting for factors such as delivery mode, feeding mode, family per capita monthly income, preterm delivery, gender, maternal age, residence, pre-pregnancy body mass index and residence time, serum BPA level in pregnancy was negatively associated with infant’s development of social behavior [β (95% CI):-2.42 (-4.71, -0.12)]. The post-stratification analysis by infant age revealed that the serum BPA level in pregnancy was only negatively associated with the development of language and social behavior developmental quotient scores in infants between the ages of 12 and 18 months, with β (95% CI) about -6.66 (-13.06, -0.25) and -7.401 (-12.97, -1.83), respectively. Conclusion:BPA exposure during pregnancy affects language and social behavior development in infants, and the detection window is between 12 and 18 months old of the infant.
