Objective:To explore the clinical and endoscopic features of patients with autoimmune gastritis (AIG) and to improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of AIG.Methods:From January 3, 2020 to November 25, 2021, the general information (gender, age), laboratory examination indicators and endoscopic findings of 179 AIG patients diagnosed at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The laboratory examination indicators included hemoglobin, gastrin-17, pepsinogen (PG), anemia combination indicators (ferritin, vitamin B 12), thyroid function indicators (thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroglobulin antibody and thyroid peroxidase antibody), Helicobacter pylori, and anti-parietal cell antibody and anti-intrinsic factor antibody. Descriptive methods were used for statistical analysis. Results:Among the 179 AIG patients, there were 42 males (23.5%) and 137 females (76.5%), with an average age of (55.23±12.04) years old. The gastrin-17 level of AIG patients was 195.31 ng/L (143.64 ng/L, 273.61 ng/L), PG Ⅰ level and PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ ratio were 12.40 μg/L (7.65 μg/L, 19.40 μg/L) and 1.03 (0.66, 1.52), respectively. There were 15.3% (18/118) of the AIG patients with iron deficiency anemia, and 16.1% (19/118) with megaloblastic anemia. The positive rate of anti-parietal cell antibody was 71.8% (51/71), and the positive rate of anti-intrinsic factor antibody was 25.4% (18/71). The serum thyroid-stimulating hormone level increased in 27.3% (15/55) of the patients, and the positive rates of thyroglobulin antibody and thyroid peroxidase antibody were 31.6% (12/38) and 47.4% (18/38), respectively. The positive rate of Helicobacter pylori was 29.7% (38/128). The endoscopic appearance of AIG indicated reverse atrophy, characterized by obvious atrophy in gastric fundus and gastric body mucosa, however the atrophy of gastric antrum was not obvious. Under endoscopy yellow-white turbid mucus, which was difficult to be washed, was found in 67.0% (120/179) of the patients, and under endoscopy the residual gastric fundus glands could be seen in 19.6% (35/179) of the patients. Among 179 AIG patients, 7 cases (3.9%) of neuroendocrine tumor (NET), 7 cases (3.9%) of early gastric adenocarcinoma (including 1 case of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma), 1 case (0.6%) of adenoma, and 14 cases (7.8%) of hyperplastic polyps were found. Except for the case of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma undergoing surgery, the others were treated with endoscopic resection. Conclusions:When unexplained iron deficiency anemia, megaloblastic anemia, or reverse atrophy is found, AIG should be considered. AIG patients are at high risk for gastric cancer and NET, and should be closely followed up, and active treatment should be given before anemia and neurological symptoms appear.

Objective: To understand physical activity status of children and adolescents in Tujia inhabited areas, and to provide reference for the intervention model of physical activity of children and adolescents in minority areas. Methods: A cluster sample of 2 466 Tujia pupils from two primary schools in Lichuan City, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hubei Province was selected to investigate physical activity status of Tujia pupils. The univariate χ 2 test was used to analyze the physical activity status of Tujia children and adolescents and its influencing factors. Results: The median duration of high intensity activity was 49.9 minutes/day in the last week, and 47.93% of participants met the physical activity standard( χ 2=80.47, P <0.01), the median duration of sitting was 396.1 minutes/day in the last week, and the qualified rate of screen time was 78.99%, and the differences of qualified rate between daystudents and residential students were of statistical differences( χ 2=35.12, P <0.01)). Conclusion The children and adolescents in the Tujia community are lack of physical activity. Therefore, it is necessary to take effective intervention measures to pay attention to the children and adolescents physical activity.

Objective: To understand the prevalence of low vision among Tujia and Han children and adolescents in Tujia inhabited areas, and to provide reference for the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents in minority areas. Methods: A cluster sampling of Tujia and Han primary school students from two primary schools in Lichuan City, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province (2 466 Tujia and 971 Han) were selected for visual acuity assessment. Univariate χ 2 test and multivariate Logistic analysis were used. Low vision and associated factors between Tujia and Han nationality were compared. Results: The overall detection rate of low vision among children and adolescents in Tujia inhabited areas was 44.9%. There were differences in the degree of low vision in the left and right eyes of individuals, and the detection rate of low vision varied significantly by ethnic, gender and grade ( χ 2=22.10, 18.43, 19.06, 17.97 for the left eye, 17.52, 20.44, 21.49, 18.61 for the right eye, P < 0.05). There were many factors affecting low vision among children and adolescents in Tujia inhabited areas, overweight and obesity were negatively associated with low vision ( OR=1.81, 1.70, 95%CI=1.76-1.92, 1.66-1.82, P <0.01). Conclusion Low vision is highly prevalent in Tujia children and adolescents. Effective intervention measures should be taken to treat and prevent myopia in children and adolescents.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of lower extremities deep vein thrombosis after thoracoscopic surgery in elderly patients with lung cancer, establish a nomogram prediction model and conduct internal verification.Methods:A total of 183 elderly patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic radical resection in Nanchong Central Hospital from February 2018 to February 2022 were selected as the study subjects. According to the presence or absence of deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities within one month after operation, the patients were divided into lower extremities deep venous thrombosis group ( n=61) and non-deep lower extremities venous thrombosis group ( n=122) . Univariate and multivariate analyses of deep venous thrombosis of lower extremities after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer in the elderly were performed, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed according to the multivariate analysis results, and the model was verified. Results:There were statistically significant differences in smoking history ( χ2=13.40, P<0.001) , preoperative chemotherapy ( χ2=8.79, P=0.003) , surgical method ( χ2=7.97, P=0.005) , operation time ( t=7.23, P<0.001) , postoperative bed rest time ( t=10.40, P<0.001) , combined with diabetes ( χ2=6.37, P=0.012) , combined with hyperlipidemia ( χ2=9.58, P=0.002) , preoperative D-dimer ( t=13.08, P<0.001) , preoperative fibrinogen ( t=5.84, P<0.001) and preoperative platelet count ( t=7.01, P<0.001) between the lower extremity deep venous thrombosis group and the non-lower extremity deep venous thrombosis group. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative chemotherapy ( OR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.05-5.71, P=0.038) , surgical method ( OR=2.55, 95% CI: 1.14-5.73, P=0.023) , postoperative bed rest time ( OR=1.50, 95% CI: 1.24-1.81, P<0.001) , combined with diabetes ( OR=3.60, 95% CI: 1.05-12.33, P=0.042) , and preoperative D-dimer ( OR=1.01, 95% CI: 1.01-1.01, P<0.001) were all independent risk factors for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in elderly patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic surgery. The C-index of nomogram for predicting lower extremity deep vein thrombosis-related factors was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.81-0.93) . The calibration curve showed that the model had a good correlation in predicting lower extremities deep venous thrombosis. Conclusion:Preoperative chemotherapy, surgical method, postoperative bed rest time, combined with diabetes, and postoperative D-dimer level are influence factors for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in elderly patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic surgery. The nomogram prediction model established in this study has high accuracy and discrimination for the prediction of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in elderly patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and genetic features of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, dystonia-deafness, hepatopathy, encephalopathy, Leigh-like syndrome(MEGDHEL syndrome) caused by SERAC1 gene variation. Methods:This study retrospectively described the clinical and molecular features and prognosis of a baby boy who was transferred to Children's Hospital of Fudan University and later diagnosed with MEGDHEL syndrome in August 2016. A summary of the clinical and genetic manifestations of MEGDHEL syndrome cases reported in China and foreign areas was conducted through a literature review.Results:(1) Case report: The 2-day-old patient was transferred to Children's Hospital of Fudan University due to hyperlactic acidemia after birth. Physical examination revealed scattered petechiae and ecchymoses of the skin. Laboratory examination showed coagulation disorders and cranial MRI revealed abnormal signals in both basal ganglia. A homozygous variation of c.442C>T(p.Arg148*) in the SERAC1 gene was detected in the patient, which is a pathogenic variant included in the Human Gene Mutation Database. Both of his parents were heterozygous carriers, thereby the diagnosis of MEGDHEL syndrome was confirmed. Followed up to the age of three years and 11 months, he was found to have psychomotor retardation, spasticity, dystonia, deafness, and loss of language ability. (2)Literature review: Together with the case reported in this study, a total of 88 cases were retrieved, involving 57 different variants. The clinical features were homogenous, with onset mostly in the neonatal period (72%, 62/86), and severe reversible liver dysfunction (49%, 38/77) and neonatal hypoglycemia (44%, 35/80) were the main features. Nervous system was affected since infancy and common symptoms, included hypotonia (86%, 68/79), progressive spasticity (82%, 67/82), dystonia (80%, 66/82), intellectual disability (88%, 58/66) and sensorineural hearing impairment (74%, 59/80). Furthermore, bilateral basal ganglia involvement on cranial MRI (93%,70/75) and 3-methylglutaconic aciduria (98%,80/82) were also seen. Supportive care is currently the main management, however, the prognosis is extremely poor. Conclusions:MEGDHEL syndrome should be highly suspected when reversible neonatal liver dysfunction or hypoglycemia of unknown reasons in neonatal period, followed by progressive deafness-dystonia syndrome in infancy. As the prognosis of these patients is usually poor, genetic testing may provide an early diagnosis in neonatal period.

Objective:To investigate the effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on neonatal metabolites.Methods:This retrospective cohort study recruited 580 singleton newborns who were born to women with GDM from January 2018 to December 2018 in Foshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital as the GDM group. Another 580 counterparts born to non-GDM singleton mothers with matching age were selected as the non-GDM group with an allocation ratio of 1 to 1. Neonatal genetic metabolic disease screening was performed within 3-7 days after birth. Two independent sample t-test, and multiple linear regression model were used for statistical analysis. Results:There were significant differences in seven amino acids and 10 fatty acids levels between the GDM and non-GDM group. The serum levels of six amino acids and eight fatty acids were increased in the GDM group, while the levels of piperamide [(140.79±32.60) vs (150.26±35.46) μmol/L, t=－4.733, P<0.001], palmitoyl carnitine [(2.59±0.81) vs (2.73±0.82) μmol/L, t=－2.940, P=0.003], and carbamate [(0.066±0.022) vs (0.069±0.022) μmol/L, t=－1.937, P=0.042] were decreased compared with the non-GDM group. After adjusting for maternal gravidity, parity, neonatal birth weight, and gender, multivariate linear regression analysis showed that GDM was positively correlated with three amino acids levels, which were cysteine ( ?=0.012), homocysteine ( ?=0.263) and leucine ( ?=4.225); and was negatively correlated with glycine ( ?=－6.271) and piperamide level ( ?=－9.885). With regard to the fatty acids, GDM was positively correlated with the neonatal propionyl carnitine ( ?=0.214), butyryl carnitine ( ?=0.014), 3-hydroxybutyryl carnitine ( ?=0.006), isovaleryl carnitine ( ?=0.009), 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine ( ?=0.024), hexadecanoyl carnitine ( ?=0.001), decadienoyl carnitine ( ?=0.045), octadecadienyl carnitine level ( ?=0.128), but was negatively correlated with palmitoyl carnitine ( ?=－0.119), and carbamate ( ?=－0.002) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Correlations between maternal GDM and the levels of amino acids and fatty acids in neonates was noted in this study, suggesting that maternal GDM may affect the metabolism of amino acids and fatty acids in offspring at early stage of life.

Objective:To study the characteristics of video electroencephalogram (VEEG) and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neonates with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) and to determine the predictive value for prognostic.Method:From June 2016 to December 2018, a retrospective study was performed on newborns diagnosed with IEM receiving VEEG examinations at the Neonatology Department of our hospital. VEEG and cranial MRI were used as prognostic indicators and the follow-up results were used as criteria predicting the accuracy of prognosis. The accuracy of the prediction was calculated using a 4 × 4 table.Result:A total of 21 eligible cases with 14 types of IEM were included. The most common type of IEM was organic acidemia (47.6%, 10/21). 16 cases (76.2%) had abnormal VEEG background patterns, including 8 cases of organic acidemia, 3 cases of urea cycle disorders, 1 case of energy metabolism disorder and 4 cases of other IEMs. No significant differences existed in the abnormality rate of VEEG background patterns among these groups ( P=0.882). VEEG showed 3 cases of seizures including 2 cases of electrographic-only seizures. Interburst interval durations were shortened on VEEG background with the decrease of blood ammonia level. The positive predictive values of the moderate-to-severe abnormal VEEG background and the presence of major cerebral lesions on MRI in predicting poor prognosis were 90.0% (95% CI 55.5%~99.7%) and 100% (95% CI 66.4%~100%), respectively, and the negative predictive values were 50.0% (95% CI 18.7%~81.3%) and 85.7% (95% CI 42.1%~99.6%), respectively. Conclusion:Neonates with IEM have higher incidences of abnormal VEEG. Continuous VEEG may accurately diagnose neonatal seizures and effectively monitor brain function. VEEG is a useful tool monitoring infants with IEM and predicting adverse outcomes, especially when used in combination with brain MRI.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and managements of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection after kidney transplantation.Methods:The authors reviewed medical history, laboratory values, imaging studies, treatment options and clinical outcomes of two confirmed hospitalized cases of COVID-19 after kidney transplant in February 2020. Both cases were middle-aged males and confirmed as COVID-19 at 11 or 12 months after transplantation. They both presented initially with moderate-to-low fever, cough and fatigue. Chest computed tomography (CT) hinted at multiple peripheral patchy ground glass opacities or patchy exudation and in bilateral multiple lobular and subsegmental with obscure boundary. Both had varying degrees of renal function and cardiac insufficiency.Results:In case 1, the dose of immunosuppressants was tapered while a higher dose of glucocorticoids was prescribed during treatment. In case 2, the dose of immunosuppressants was not tapered and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) performed thrice in the early disease course due to renal insufficiency and hyperkalemia. Both cases received oxygen inhalation, lopinavir/ritonavir, oral abidor and interferonα-2b antiviral therapy, antibiotics treatment. Both cases were cured.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations and diagnosis of COVID-19 patients after kidney transplantation are not significantly different from those of other people. However, early renal function and heart function abnormalities occur. How to adjust the immunosuppressant in the treatment course of severe COVID-19 after renal transplantation should be further explored.

Objective:To observe the effect of intravitreal injection of Conbercept with two different doses in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and explore the clinical feasibility of ROP treatment by lower dose conbercept.Methods:This was a prospective study. The premature infants were enrolled with pre-threshold type 1, threshold and acute aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP) from March 2018 to June 2019, who received fundus screening in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Henan Eye Hospital. They were randomly divided into two groups. The group A (lower dose group) were received intravitreal injection of conbercept with 0.15 mg/0.015 ml, and those in group B (control group) were received intravitreal injection of conbercept with 0.25 mg/0.025 ml. We checked and recorded the lesion area, stage, scope (according to the clock range), additional lesion (plus), etc. Fundus examination should be performed with the pediatric wide-field fundus imaging system within 7 days after treatment. It was used to observe the plus disese, ridge, regression of neovascularization on ridge, and development of retinal vessels to serrated edge or scarring. The follow-up period was at least 24 weeks. The effect evaluation was divided into recovery, improvement, recurrence and aggravation.Results:The 43 ROP subjects (84 eyes) were enrolled including 21 cases (40 eyes) in group A and 22 (44 eyes) in group B. There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender ( χ2=1.169), birth age ( t=0.283), birth weight ( t=0.547), hospitalization days in NICU ( t=1.187), first examination time ( t=1.811), first injection time ( t=0.492), follow-up time ( t=0.899) and ROP condition ( χ2=0.854) ( P>0.05). In group A, 21 eyes (52.5%) were cured, 17 eyes (42.5%) were improved, 2 eyes (5.0%) were recurred, and no aggravating cases were found. In group B, 24 eyes (54.5%) were cured, 14 eyes (31.8%) were improved, 6 eyes (13.6%) were recurred, and no aggravating cases were found. There was no significant difference of the cure rate ( χ2=2.210, P>0.05) and effective (recovery and improvement) rate ( χ2=1.814, P=0.269) between two groups after the first injection. Conclusion:Intravitreal injection of conbercept with the two doses should be effective in the treatment of ROP.

Objective To analyze the changes in cerebral oxygen saturation( CrSO2 )and cerebral fractional oxygen extraction ratio(CFOE)before,during and after red blood cell(RBC)transfusion in premature infants,and to explore the effect of RBC transfusion on the cerebral tissue oxygenation in premature infants. Methods The preterm infants With gestational age﹤37 Weeks Who Were treated With RBC transfusion Were selected from September 2017 to March 2018 in Neonatal Department of Children＇s Hospital of Fudan University. Near－infrared spectroscopy( NIRS) Was applied to continuously monitor CrSO2 from 2 h before RBC transfusion to 24 h after RBC transfusion. Transcuta﹣neous arterial oxygen saturation(TcSaO2 ),heart rate(HR)and blood pressure(BP)Were synchronously measured by using multi－function monitor. CFOE could be calculated based on the monitored TcSaO2 . Results A total of 71 cases Were included in the study,39 males and 32 females,With a medium gestational age of 29(24－37)Weeks,a mean birth Weight of 2 195(710－3 950)g,17 cases in moderate anemia group and 54 cases in severe anemia group. Compared With the data 2 h before transfusion,CrSO2 increased( t ﹦9. 536,P﹤0. 001),While CFOE decreased( t ﹦ －8. 688,P ﹤0. 001)during transfusion in the Whole study population. The CrSO2 at 2 h before blood transfusion,during blood transfu﹣sion,2,6,12 and 24 h after transfusion Were 0. 579 ± 0. 037,0. 591 ± 0. 032,0. 599 ± 0. 035,0. 596 ± 0. 035,0. 595 ± 0. 027,0. 585 ± 0. 022,respectively in moderate anemia group and Were 0. 571 ± 0. 038,0. 592 ± 0. 039,0. 605 ± 0. 038, 0. 603 ± 0. 035,0. 596 ± 0. 032,0. 596 ± 0. 032,respectively in severe anemia group. The CFOE at 2 h before blood trans﹣fusion,during blood transfusion,2,6,12 and 24 h after transfusion Were 0. 40 ± 0. 04,0. 38 ± 0. 03,0. 37 ± 0. 04,0. 38 ± 0. 04,0. 38 ± 0. 03,0. 38 ± 0. 03,respectively in moderate anemia group and Were 0. 42 ± 0. 04,0. 39 ± 0. 04,0. 38 ± 0. 04, 0. 38 ± 0. 04,0. 39 ± 0. 03,0. 39 ± 0. 03,respectively in severe anemia group. CrSO2 increased(t﹦3. 874,P﹤0. 05), While CFOE decreased(t﹦ －4. 091,P﹤0. 05)at 2 h after transfusion in moderate anemia group. In severe anemia group,CrSO2 significantly increased( t ﹦9. 221,P ﹤0. 001),While CFOE significantly decreased( t ﹦ －8. 583,P ﹤0. 001)during transfusion,and this effect lasted until 2 h after transfusion(t﹦5. 926,－5. 556,P﹤0. 001). Compared With the data 2 h before transfusion,CrSO2 Was significantly increased(t﹦6. 894,P﹤0. 001),While CFOE Was signifi﹣cantly decreased(t﹦ －8. 536,P﹤0. 001)at 24 h after transfusion in severe anemia group. HoWever,there Was no signi﹣ ficant difference in CrSO2 and CFOE betWeen the 24 h after transfusion and 2 h before in the moderate anemia group. Conclusions RBC transfusion improves cerebral tissue oxygenation,and severe anemia group benefit more from blood transfusion. Cerebral oxygenation monitoring With NIRS monitor may provide neW insights for the clinical management of RBC transfusion in preterm infants.
