Marine fungi are important members of the marine microbiome, which have been paid growing attention by scientists in recent years. The secondary metabolites of marine fungi have been reported to contain rich and diverse compounds with novel structures (Chen et al., 2019). Aspergillus terreus, the higher level marine fungus of the Aspergillus genus (family of Trichocomaceae, order of Eurotiales, class of Eurotiomycetes, phylum of Ascomycota), is widely distributed in both sea and land. In our previous study, the coral-derived A. terreus strain C23-3 exhibited potential in producing other biologically active (with antioxidant, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, and anti-inflammatory activity) compounds like arylbutyrolactones, territrems, and isoflavones, and high sensitivity to the chemical regulation of secondary metabolism (Yang et al., 2019, 2020; Nie et al., 2020; Ma et al., 2021). Moreover, we have isolated two different benzaldehydes, including a benzaldehyde with a novel structure, from A. terreus C23-3 which was derived from Pectinia paeonia of Xuwen, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, China.

Objective:To establish a scoring system based on lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images to evaluate bone mineral density and evaluate its correlation with T score of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).Methods:The clinical data of 82 patients with lumbar degenerative diseases who were admitted to the Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University from January 2019 to August 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the lower value of T value of femoral neck and total hip bone mineral density detected by DEXA, they were divided into normal bone mass group ( n=40) and abnormal bone mass group ( n=42). The vertebral body bone mass (VBQ) score of the patient was calculated by dividing the average signal intensity of L 1-4 vertebral body by the signal intensity of L 3 level cerebrospinal fluid on T 1 weighted image of MRI. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the ability of VBQ score to distinguish between normal bone mass and abnormal bone mass and the accuracy of predicting the occurrence of abnormal bone mass. Further, the correlation between VBQ score and T value was determined by regression analysis. Results:The lowest T value measured by DEXA in the abnormal bone mass group were significantly lower than those in the normal bone mass group, and the VBQ score was significantly higher than that in the normal bone mass group(all P<0.001). The area under curve (AUC) of VBQ score for predicting abnormal bone mass was 0.93, the cut-off value was 2.98, with sensitivity 81.6%, and specificity 88.6%. The VBQ score was corrected with the lowest T value measured by DEXA ( r=-0.77). Conclusions:VBQ score could effectively distinguish normal bone mass from abnormal bone mass and was negatively correlated with the lowest T value of DEXA.

Liver failure in pregnancy is one of the most serious complications that greatly threaten the safety of pregnant women and parturients, with a high mortality rate and poor prognosis. The short-term prognosis of liver failure in pregnancy can be predicted based on etiology, clinical type and stage of liver failure, dynamic changes of laboratory markers, liver ultrasound, type and number of complications, selection of obstetric treatment, and whether artificial liver support therapy was performed. It is pointed out that it is necessary for clinicians to comprehensively evaluate the short-term prognosis of liver failure in pregnancy, which helps to guide clinical treatment, optimize medical resource allocation, and improve resource utilization.

Liver failure during pregnancy is a serious liver injury caused by various pathogenic factors during pregnancy and is a critical disease that threatens the life of the mother and the fetus. The causes of liver failure during pregnancy are classified into viral factors, non-viral factors, pregnancy-specific factors, and unknown causes. This article describes the research advances in the incidence rates, deaths, and geographical distribution characteristics of liver failure during pregnancy of different etiologies and compares the clinical features of liver failure during pregnancy of different etiologies. It is pointed out that liver failure during pregnancy of different etiologies has entirely different treatment regimens and prognoses, and the etiological diagnosis has important guiding significance in the treatment of this disease. Further examination should be performed for critically ill pregnant women suspected of this disease to determine the etiology, and appropriate treatment should be given as early as possible.

Objective: To discuss the significance of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery in the treatment of local advanced esophageal cancer. Methods:A total of 272 cases of local advanced esophageal cancer were studied in retrospect. Out of the 272 cases, 112 were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery (CT-S), whereas the remaining 160 cases underwent surgical treatment (S) only. Complications and survival state after surgery were compared. Results: The rate of complications after surgery was as follows: CT-S: 34.8% (39/112); S: 29.4% (47/160), P=0.50. The five-year survival rate was 35.7% and 29.4%, respectively, P<0.05. The CT-S patients were divided into partial remission (PR) and stable disease (SD)/progressive disease (PD) groups according to the effect of the chemotherapy. The five-year survival rate was 38.5% and 30.1%, respectively, P<0.01. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is available for local advanced esophageal cancer. Postoperative complications are not increased by chemotherapy, and the survival rate for local advanced esophageal cancer is improved by neoadjuvant chemotherapy. PR has better prognosis compared with SD/PD.
