Objective To evaluate the predictive value of T2-fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)signal suppression rate for the short arm of chromosome 1 and long arm of chromosome 19 (1p/19q)molecular features in lower-grade gliomas (LGG),and to construct and verify the predictive model based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)tumor features and T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate.Methods Clincal and imaging data of the patients with pathologically confirmed supratentorial LGG (WHO grade 2～3)in our medical center from 2017 to 2021 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.According to the results of postoperative molecular pathology,they were divided into 1 p/19q-codeleted (1 p/19q-Codel)and 1 p/19q-noncodeleted (1 p/19q-Noncodel)groups.MRI tumor features were blindly assessed by 2 neuroradiologists.Five circular regions of interest were respectively delineated in the tumor area and the normal-appearing white matter in contralateral semioval center using the hot-spot method in order to calculate the T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate.The differences of clinical features,MRI tumor features and T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate were analyzed between the 2 groups.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to screen independent predictors and constructa predictive model and nomogram.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve,calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were applied to assess the model performance,and the model was internally validated by bootstrap method.Results A total of 146 supratentorial LGG patients were enrolled,including 68 being assigned into the 1 p/19q-Codel group and 78 into the 1 p/19q-Noncodel group.The T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate was 0.43 (0.28,0.62)in the 1 p/19q-Noncodel group,which was significantly higher than that in the 1 p/19q-Codel group[0.29 (0.24,0.35),P<0.001].Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 (P<0.001),cortex infiltration (P=0.001) and calcification (P=0.004) were independent predictors for 1 p/19q status.The AUC value of T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 in predicting 1 p/19q-Noncodel was 0.720,the sensitivity was 60.26％ and the specificity was 83.82％.DeLong test indicated that T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 was more effective than T2-FLAIR mismatch sign in predicting 1 p/19q molecular features (P<0.001).ROC curve analysis suggested that the predictive model established by T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 combined with cortex infiltration and calcification had good performance,with an AUC value of 0.808,and the AUC value verified internally by bootstrap method was 0.807.At the same time,the calibration and goodness of fit of the model were good.Conclusion T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate can be used as a quantitative imaging marker to predict 1 p/19q-Noncodel LGG.The predictive model with T2-FLAIR signal suppression rate>0.374 combined with cortex infiltration and calcification can effectively predict 1 p/19q molecular features.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of single pass scanning using muti-slice spiral CT for polytrauma patients.Methods:Totally 60 polytrauma patients treated from January to November in 2023 were randomly enrolled in this study. They were categorized into an experimental group and a control group using a random number table, with 30 patients in each group. The patients in the experimental group underwent single pass scaning for the head, neck, chest, and abdomen, whereas those in the control group receiving separate scanning for various parts. Then, the noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise (CNR) of the CT images of both groups were recorded. Furthermore, the objective and subjective evaluation, volume CT dose index (CTDI vol), effective dose ( E), scanning time, and scan ranges of the images were compared between both groups. Results:Compared to the control group, the test group exhibited lower SNR of the head ( t = -5.47, P < 0.05) and higher SNR and CNR of the chest scans ( t = -5.95, -6.15, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the test group demonstrated decreased ED, CTDIvol, scanning time, and scan range, which dropped from 18.53 mSv to 13.81 mSv ( t = 3.29, P < 0.001), from 15.77 mGy to 10.59 mGy ( t = 4.48, P< 0.001), from 31.68 s to 10.97 s ( t = 6.95, P < 0.001), and from 64.92 cm to 45.21 cm ( t = 9.05, P < 0.001), respectively compared to the control group. Conclusions:Single pass CT scanning can reduce E, scanning time, and scan range in the treatment of polytrauma patients while ensuring the high quality of CT images, thus warranting wide clinical applications.

Objective:To detect the 3′-terminal 2′- O-methylation (2′Ome) modified microRNA-486-5p (miR-486-5p) levels in the serum of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), and evaluate its clinical application value as a biomarker to assist the diagnosis of CHD. Methods:Seventy patients with CHD diagnosed at the Eastern Theater General Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 and 60 age-and sex-matched healthy people undergoing health examination during the same period were selected for this retrospective case-control study. The Gensini score was calculated based on coronary angiography results, and patients in the coronary artery disease group was categorized into mild-to-moderate stenosis (40 cases) and severe stenosis subgroups (30 cases); Serum biochemical indexes, miR-486-5p and 2′Ome-miR-486-5p expression levels were compared between the CHD group and the healthy control group; correlation of biochemical indices, Gensini score and serum miR-486-5p and 2′Ome-miR-486-5p levels was assessed by using Spearman correlation analysis; and multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of serum miR-486-5p and 2′Ome-miR-486-5p levels on CHD and the degree of coronary artery stenosis; evaluation of the diagnostic value of 2′Ome-miR-486-5p levels on the degree of coronary artery disease and coronary artery stenosis was achieved by using ROC curve.Results:Serum miR-486-5p and 2′Ome-miR-486-5p levels were significantly higher in CHD group than in the healthy control group [0.31 (0.17, 0.84) vs 0.21 (0.11, 0.49), Z=2.055, P<0.05; 2.30 (1.32, 5.40) vs 0.86 (0.55, 1.72), Z=5.840, P<0.05]; Serum 2′Ome-miR-486-5p expression levels were higher in both mild-moderate and severe stenosis subgroups than in healthy controls ( P<0.05), and serum 2′Ome-miR-486-5p levels were higher in the severe stenosis subgroup than in the mild-moderate stenosis subgroup [3.54(1.78, 5.44) vs 1.63(1.25, 4.07), Z=-2.053, P<0.05]. Both serum miR-486-5p and 2′Ome-miR-486-5p levels were positively correlated with the Gensini score ( r=0.277 and 0.479, respectively, P<0.05); multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that serum 2′Ome-miR-486-5p level was an independent influence factor of the degree of coronary stenosis after adjustig for the effects of confounding factors such as age and sex ( OR=1.025, 95% CI 1.002-1.049, P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve of serum 2′Ome-miR-486-5p levels for the diagnosis of CHD patients, mild to moderate and severe stenosis were 0.798, 0.752 and 0.859, with sensitivities of 91.4%, 92.5%, and 73.3%, and specificities of 56.7%, 51.7% and 81.7%, respectively, at the optimal cut-off (0.912, 0.863, 2.209). Conclusion:Serum 2′Ome-miR-486-5p level is increased in CHD patients and is an independent predictor of the severity of coronary artery stenosis, which can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of patients with CHD.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of patients with drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 1 376 patients with DILI who were admitted to 20 hospitals in Shaanxi Province, China, from 2009 to 2019 and were diagnosed with RUCAM scale as the diagnostic criteria, and these patients were analyzed in terms of sex, age, underlying diseases, suspected drugs causing DILI, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, treatment process, and prognosis. The t -test and Wilcoxon test were used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups, and the Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test was used for comparison of ordered polytomous data between groups. Results Among the 1 376 patients, there were 577(41.93%) male patients and 799 (58.07%) female patients, with a male/female ratio of 0.72:1. As for different age groups, the 40-60 years group had a higher incidence rate and accounted for 44.77%, and there was a significant difference in sex distribution between different age groups ( χ 2 =20.784, P =0.008). As for the three clinical types, there was no significant difference in incidence rate between men and women ( χ 2 =1.409, P =0.494), and there was a significant difference in the distribution of clinical types between different age groups ( χ 2 =47.025, P < 0.001). The top three drugs causing DILI were traditional Chinese medicine (41.13%), antitubercular agents (11.70%), and antipyretic and analgesic drugs (7.27%). Hepatocellular injury type was the main clinical type and accounted for 65.77% (905 cases). The mean length of hospital stay was 15.31 days, mostly 1-4 weeks which accounted for 91.86%. Among these 1376 patients, 45 (3.27%) were cured and 1 322 (96.08%) were improved, suggesting a good overall prognosis. The patients with different clinical types had significantly different prognoses ( H =59.300, P =0.011), and further comparison showed that the patients with hepatocellular injury type and mixed type had a significantly better prognosis than those with cholestasis type ( P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in prognosis between the patients with hepatocellular injury type and those with mixed type ( P > 0.05). Conclusion There is a high incidence rate of DILI in women and middle-aged and elderly people, and traditional Chinese medicine is the leading cause of DILI. Patients with different clinical types tend to have different prognoses, with a good overall prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of using a carbon dioxide(CO2) laser in the treatment of facial papilloma in children and to evaluate its curative effect and prognosis. Methods : A case of pediatric facial papilloma treated with a CO2 laser was reported, and the effects of this disease and CO2 laser treatment were reviewed and analyzed in combination with the literature. Results: Under general anesthesia, the lesion tissue of the left lip was excised for pathological biopsy, and the diagnosis was maxillofacial papilloma. The lesions were surgically ablated in stages with a CO2 laser, and erythromycin ointment was applied to the surgical incision after surgery. A total of three rounds of CO2 laser treatment were performed for 3 treatment courses. The child had no complications during or after the operation, the facial appearance was significantly improved, and there was no sign of recurrence during the 6-month follow-up. A literature review showed that CO2 lasers have been widely used in the excision of various surface lesions. In clinical practice, continuous CO2 laser with power of 10-50 W and wavelength of 10.6 μm is used to treat superficial tissue lesions, which can achieve accurate vaporization resection of diseased tissue, less bleeding and a good prognosis. Conclusion CO2 laser was accurate and minimally invasive for the removal of facial papilloma in children.

Abstract: To investigate the changes of cerebral blood flow(CBF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2 DM) and its correlation with cognitive function and olfactory impairment. Methods: Cognitive function assessment and smell identification test were performed on 83 patients with T2 DM and 62 healthy controls(HC). Three-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling(3 D-pcASL) head images were collected from the two groups. CBF values of the cerebral cortex were compared between the patients and HC after the postprocessing. Correlations between the CBF values and cognitive function assessment and between the CBF values and smell identification test scores were analyzed as well. Results: Compared to the HC, Chinese smell identification test(CSIT), montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA), digit span test(DST), verbal fluency test(VFT) scores were lower in T2 DM patients(P<0.05).The CBF of the bilateral middle frontal gyrus in T2 DM patients was higher than that in HC group(P<0.001). The CBF of the bilateral gyrus rectus and olfactory cortex in T2 DM patients was lower than that in HC group(P<0.001). Conclusion The cognitive and olfactory function of patients with T2 DM decreased. Patients with T2 DM have abnormal perfusion in the bilateral middle frontal gyrus, gyrus rectus and olfactory cortex, revealing that CBF changes in these brain regions may be one of the causes for cognitive impairment and olfactory dysfunction in T2 DM.

Objective:To explore the effect of emotion control game based on Snyder hope theory on anxiety of children and their parents.Methods:From June to December 2021, 92 preschool children who received operation and their parents in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were selected as the study subject. The subjects were divided into two groups according to the time of admission, among which 46 children and their parents admitted from June to September 2021 were taken as the control group, with routine nursing. A total of 46 children and their parents admitted from October to December 2021 were taken as the study group, and emotion control game based on Snyder hope theory was implemented on the basis of the control group. The scores of the Chinese version of the modified Yale Perioperative Anxiety Scale (Cm-YPAS) one day before operation and at the time of entering the Operating Room were compared between the two groups of children, and the scores of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS) of the parents of preschool children one day before operation and at the time of discharge of the two groups were compared.Results:During the intervention, there were 3 cases of dropout children in the study group and two cases of dropout children in the control group, and 43 and 44 children completed the study respectively. The Cm-YPAS scores of children in the two groups at the time of entering the Operating Room were statistically higher than those of children one day before operation; When entering the Operating Room, the Cm-YPAS score of children in the study group was lower than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . The GAD-7 scores of parents of children in the study group were lower than those in the control group one day before operation and at the time of discharge, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . At the time of discharge, the NSNS scores of parents in the study group were higher than those in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:In preoperative nursing, emotion control game based on Snyder hope theory for preschool children can effectively reduce their preoperative anxiety, and the anxiety of their parents during perioperative period, and improve parents' satisfaction with nursing.

Stearoyl-ACP Δ⁹ desaturase (SAD) catalyzes the synthesis of monounsaturated oleic acid or palmitoleic acid in plastids. SAD is the key enzyme to control the ratio of saturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty acids in plant cells. In order to analyze the regulation mechanism of soybean oleic acid synthesis, soybean (Glycine max) GmSAD family members were genome-wide identified, and their conserved functional domains and physicochemical properties were also analyzed by bioinformatics tools. The spatiotemporal expression profile of each member of GmSADs was detected by qRT-PCR. The expression vectors of GmSAD5 were constructed. The enzyme activity and biological function of GmSAD5 were examined by Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression in Nicotiana tabacum leaves and genetic transformation of oleic acid-deficient yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) mutant BY4389. Results show that the soybean genome contains five GmSAD family members, all encoding an enzyme protein with diiron center and two conservative histidine enrichment motifs (EENRHG and DEKRHE) specific to SAD enzymes. The active enzyme protein was predicted as a homodimer. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that five GmSADs were divided into two subgroups, which were closely related to AtSSI2 and AtSAD6, respectively. The expression profiles of GmSAD members were significantly different in soybean roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds at different developmental stages. Among them, GmSAD5 expressed highly in the middle and late stages of developmental seeds, which coincided with the oil accumulation period. Transient expression of GmSAD5 in tobacco leaves increased the oleic acid and total oil content in leaf tissue by 5.56% and 2.73%, respectively, while stearic acid content was reduced by 2.46%. Functional complementation assay in defective yeast strain BY4389 demonstrated that overexpression of GmSAD5 was able to restore the synthesis of monounsaturated oleic acid, resulting in high oil accumulation. Taken together, soybean GmSAD5 has strong selectivity to stearic acid substrates and can efficiently catalyze the biosynthesis of monounsaturated oleic acid. It lays the foundation for the study of soybean seed oleic acid and total oil accumulation mechanism, providing an excellent target for genetic improvement of oil quality in soybean.

Objective: To investigate the effect of pituitrin-water separation on hemoglobin and ovarian function in laparoscopic ovarian chocolate cyst removal. Methods: From February 2018 to February 2019, 82 patients with ovarian chocolate cyst removed by laparoscopy were selected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University.They were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the digital table, with 41 cases in each group.The control group underwent traditional laparoscopic tear-and-tear ovarian cyst removal, while the observation group underwent pituitrin-water separation.The changes of perioperative indicators, the decrease of hemoglobin (Hb) before and after operation, the positive rate of normal ovarian tissue on cyst wall and the number of normal follicles attached to cyst wall, the changes of serum hormone levels before and after operation were compared between the two groups. Results: The amount of bleeding during operation in the observation group [(58.97±8.74)mL] was less than that in the control group [(118.93±24.21)mL], and the operation time in the observation group[(57.46±8.27)min] was shorter than that in the control group [(87.38±10.19)min] , the differences were ststistically significant between the two group(t=14.916, 14.598, all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the time of anal exhaust between the two groups (P>0.05). The decrease of Hb in the observation group [(0.71±0.16)g/L] was lower than that in the control group [(1.27±0.35)g/L] (t=9.318, P<0.05). The positive rate of normal ovarian tissue on cyst wall in the observation group (21.95%) was lower than that in the control group (56.10%), the number of normal follicles attached to the cyst wall in the observation group (2.65±0.49) was less than that in the control group (4.86±1.24) , the differences were ststistically significant between the two group(χ²=10.045, t=10.613, all P<0.05). The serum level of E₂ [(398.21±17.84)pmol/L] in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [(367.83±15.21)pmol/L], while FSH [(6.72±0.28)mIU/mL] and LH [(5.23±0.38)mIU/mL] levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group [(7.19±0.35)mIU/mL and (5.69±0.31)mIU/mL], the differences were ststistically significant between the two group (t=8.298, 6.714, 6.006, all P<0.05). Conclusion The method of pituitrin-water separation is effective in laparoscopic ovarian chocolate cyst removal, which can reduce the injury during operation, has little effect on hemoglobin and improve the ovarian reserve function of patients.
