[Objective] To explore the optimal pressure parameters for chyle plasma filtration under low-temperature conditions, and to improve the quality of chyle plasma treatment and filtration efficiency by improving experimental methods. [Methods] The filtration efficiency and filtration time of 30 severe chyle plasma samples under conventional preparation environment pressure and under preparation environment with a controlled filtration membrane pressure difference of 0.5 bar were compared. [Results] The absorbance of severe chyle plasma samples before and after filtration under two different preparation pressures was statistically significant (P<0.05), and both achieved the expected filtration effect. Under the preparation environment of controlling the pressure difference of the filtration membrane to 0.5 bar, the filtration was faster and with better effect, which was statistically significant compared to the conventional preparation environment pressure (P<0.05). [Conclusion] By selecting the optimal pressure parameters for filtering chyle plasma under low-temperature conditions, the efficiency of chyle plasma filtration under low-temperature conditions has been improved, and the practicality and reliability of low-temperature filtration technology have been enhanced.

Objective:To analyze the body composition and influencing factors of lean non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in population receiving health examination.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. Between January 2020 and December 2021, 1 342 individuals who had complete and reliable results of liver transient elastography and body composition testing, with a body mass index (BMI)<24 kg/m 2 and who met the inclusion criteria, were selected from the physical examination population at the Health Management Center of Jiangsu Provincial People′s Hospital. The results of body composition analysis, blood biochemical indexes and liver examination were collected from the subjects for analysis. Method of inter-group comparison: quantitative data that conform to normal distribution were tested using independent sample t-test, while non-conforming data were tested using rank sum test; count data were tested using chi-square test. The binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of body composition in lean non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in health examinees. Results:The detection rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was 13.3% in all participants, and it was significantly higher in men than that in women (23.3% (125/537) vs 6.6% (53/805)). The fasting blood glucose (5.15, 5.08 mmol/L), hemoglobin A1c (HbA 1c)(5.5%, 5.6%), triglyceride (TG)(1.70, 1.64 mmol/L), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)(3.37, 3.27 mmol/L), alanine aminotransferase (ALT)(27.0, 21.9 U/L), aspartate aminotransferase (AST)(24.1, 24.0 U/L), gamma-glutamyltransferase (31.4, 21.1 U/L), uric acid (UA)(391, 296 μmol/L), body fat percentage (23.9%, 33.7%), waist-to-hip ratio(0.90, 0.89) and visceral fat area (70.3, 97.0 cm 2) in men and women with lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were all higher than those in the population without fatty liver, while the density lipoprotein cholesterol (1.25, 1.32 mmol/L) was lower. Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, HbA 1c, TG, UA and waist-to-hip ratio were risk factors for lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in men, while BMI, HbA 1c, TG, UA and body fat percentage were risk factors for lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in women (all P<0.05). Conclusion:BMI, HbA 1c, TG, UA, body fat percentage and waist-to-hip ratio are associated with the development of lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

[Objective] To investigate the clinical features and treatment of renal cell carcinoma unclassified with medullary phenotype (RCCU-MP), so as to improve the clinical understanding of this disease. [Methods] The clinical data of 2 patients with pathological diagnosis of renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) in Zhujiang Hospital during 2019 and 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. [Results] Both patients had symptoms of backache, and imaging examination indicated renal space-occupying lesions.Case 1 was diagnosed as RMC by renal biopsy, and case 2 was pathologically diagnosed as RMC after surgery.Both cases lacked evidence of sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease, and were finally diagnosed as RCCU-MP.Case 1 did not receive antineoplastic therapy and died 5 months after diagnosis.Case 2 underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy, and then received gemcitabine + paclitaxel chemotherapy + immunotherapy.The patient's tumor progressed gradually after first-line treatment was abandoned due to concurrent hematologic infection, and he eventually died 7 months after surgery. [Conclusion] The clinical features of RCCU-MP are partially similar to those of RMC.The diagnosis of RCCU-MP requires pathological examinations and should exclude sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease.Due to the aggressive nature of the tumor, the prognosis of patients is poor.

Objective:To compare the awakening effects of enriched environmental quantitative stimulation and conventional rehabilitation on patients with consciousness disorder after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 60 patients with consciousness disorder after TBI admitted to Hospital of Zhejiang Provincial Armed Police Corps from October 2021 to October 2022, including 38 males and 22 females, aged 26-72 years [(41.6±13.2)years]. The injury was located at the frontal and temporal lobe in 37 patients, at the brain stem in 9, and at the thalamus in 14. The types of injury included cerebral contusion and laceration in 36 patients and intracerebral hematomas in 24 patients. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission was 5-8 points in 11 patients, 9-12 in 34, and 13-15 in 15. Disease course was (19.2±5.4)days. A total of 30 patients received conventional rehabilitation treatment (conventional rehabilitation group) and 30 patients received enriched environmental quantitative stimulation on the basis of conventional rehabilitation treatment, which lasted 4 cycles in 28 days (quantitative stimulation group). The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) score, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score, and brainwave α/δ ratio (ADR) before treatment and at the second and fourth treatment cycles were compared between the two groups. The incidence of complications at the end of the fourth treatment cycle and the rate of favorable outcome of Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-12 months [(8.3±2.5)months]. There were no significant differences in CRS-R score, ADL score, or brainwave ADR between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05). At the second treatment cycle, they were (13.03±0.73)points, (14.83±0.95)points and 0.35±0.11 respectively in the quantitative stimulation group, which were all higher than those in the conventional rehabilitation group [(11.18±0.14)points, (8.74±0.43)points and 0.29±0.09 respectively] ( P<0.05). At the fourth treatment cycle, they were (17.83±0.23)points, (52.93±10.75)points and 0.44±0.11 respectively in the quantitative stimulation group, which were all higher than those in the conventional rehabilitation group [(13.67±0.35)points, (40.56±7.15)points and 0.37±0.07 respectively] ( P<0.05). The CRS-R score, ADL score, and brainwave ADR at the second treatment cycle were significantly higher than those before treatment, and they were even higher at the fourth treatment cycle than those at the second treatment cycle ( P<0.05). At the end of the fourth treatment cycle, the incidence of complications in the quantitative stimulation group was 13.3% (4/30), which was lower than that of the conventional rehabilitation group [36.7% (11/30)] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the favorable outcome rate of GOS was 80.0% (24/30) in the quantitative stimulation group, which was superior to 66.7% (20/30) in the conventional rehabilitation group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional rehabilitation treatment, enriched environmental quantitative stimulation for patients with consciousness disorder after TBI achieves enhanced consciousness level, activity of daily life and electroencephal reactivity, together with decreased incidence of complications and improved prognosis.

Objective To explore the predicting value of quantitative CT features of peritumoral nodules for the risk of thymic epi-thelial tumors(TETs).Methods A total of 108 patients with TETs confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Accord-ing to the WHO classification of thymic tumors,the patients were divided into high-risk group and low-risk group.The quantitative CT features included the long diameter,volume,mass,and distance between peritumoral nodules and main tumor.The values of these features were assessed using the Mann-Whitney U test,and the thresholds were determined using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Among 108 TETs patients,there were 45 patients with peritumoral nodules on chest CT,including 30 high-risk group and 15 low-risk group,respectively.Interobserver consistencies were well with intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)between 0.886 and 0.907.The long diameter,volume,and mass of peritumoral nodules were greater in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in the distance to the main tumor(P＞0.05).The mass of peritumoral nodules had the best diagnostic performance in predicting TETs risk,and the thresholds was 27.84 mg with the area under the curve(AUC)of 0.889,sensitivity of 83.3％,specificity of 87.5％,and accuracy of 85.3％,respectively.Conclusion The quantitative CT features of peritumoral nodules especially mass can be useful in predicting the risk of TETs.

Objective To evaluate the types and imaging features of early and late complications after liver transplantation.Methods A retro-spective analysis was conducted on the complications imaging data from 124 patients after liver transplantation.The CT and MRI characteristics of these complications was analyzed,categorized based on their occurrence time and type.Results The postoperative complications in the total 124 patients included vascular complication in 85 patients,biliary complication in 78 patients,and parenchy-mal complication in 21 patients.Additionally,the simple and complex complications were exhibited in 43 and 81 patients.Early vas-cular complication accounted for 69.8％,especially 21 cases(91.3％)were with early hepatic artery thrombosis.Bile leakage in 9 cases occurred in the early postoperative period,whereas biliary stenosis in 43 cases and biliary stones in 23 cases were observed in the late postoperative period.All ischemic infarction in 13 cases occurred in the early postoperative period.Among the 10 cases of liver abscess,8 cases were secondary to ischemic necrosis of liver parenchyma,and other 2 cases were secondary to suppurative cholangitis.Addi-tionally,6 cases of liver tumor recurrence were all detected in the late postoperative period.Conclusion The types of complications occurring after liver transplantation vary over time,and CT and MRI can be used to detect and evaluate postoperative complications.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the difference of genotypes and hearing phenotypes in infants with biallelic allele variant in GJB2,and to provide reference for clinical practice. METHODS One hundred and forty-two subjects with biallelic allele variant in GJB2 were recruited in Beijing Tongren Hospital from August 2012 to March 2024. All subjects received universal newborn hearing screening(UNHS),neonatal deafness genetic screening and audiological tests. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the genotypes:T/T groups(truncated/truncated mutations,59 cases),T/NT group(truncated/non-truncated mutations,50 cases) and NT/NT group(non-truncated/non-truncated mutations,33 cases). Three groups of genotypes,newborn hearing screening results,age at first diagnosis and hearing diagnosis results were analyzed. RESULTS The homozygous mutation of c.235delC/c.235delC was the dominant in T/T group(57.63％),the compound heterozygous mutation of c.235delC/c.109G>A was the dominant in T/NT group(74.00％),and the homozygous mutation of c.109G>A/c.109G>A was the dominant in NT/NT group(96.97％). The overall refer rate of UNHS was 80.28％,and the refer rate of T/T group was 89.83％,which was significantly higher than that of T/NT group 70.00％(P=0.009). The age of first diagnosis of 142 cases was (3.70±1.56) months,there was no significant difference between the three groups(P>0.05). In 142 cases,104 cases with hearing loss accounted for 73.24％,38 cases with normal hearing accounted for 26.76％. The proportion of confirmed hearing loss in T/T group was 100.00％,which was significantly higher than that in T/NT group 52.00％(P<0.001) and NT/NT group 57.58％(P<0.001). In side of hearing loss,of the 104 patients with hearing loss,86 cases(82.69％) had bilateral hearing loss and 18 cases(17.31％) had unilateral hearing loss. The proportion of bilateral hearing loss in T/T group was 100.00％,which was significantly higher than that in T/NT group 57.69％(P<0.001) and NT/NT group 63.16％(P<0.001). Among 190 ears of 104 patients with hearing loss,the degree of hearing loss was predominantly mild to moderate(63.16％),followed by profound(24.74％) and severe(12.10％). Among them,the T/T group was mainly marked by severe to profound hearing loss(58.47％),while both the T/NT group and the NT/NT group were mainly characterized by mild hearing loss(58.54％ and 74.19％),and the differences among the three groups were statistically significant(P<0.001). CONCLUSION In the T/T group,all patients were diagnosed as bilateral hearing loss at first diagnosis,and was mainly severe and profound hearing loss. The bilateral and unilateral hearing loss were 52.00％ and 57.58％ in the T/NT group and NT/NT group at first diagnosis respectively,and was mainly mild hearing loss.

The goal is to identify new biomarkers for maternal and infant diseases and provide scientific evidence for risk prediction related to maternal diseases and neonatal health.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic and classification value of prenatal ultrasound for hypospadias.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on fetuses suspected of hypospadias based on prenatal ultrasound, who were treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from July 2012 to June 2023. Hypospadias was classified as a severe or mild type based on ultrasound images. Postnatal diagnostic conditions of the live-born infants and fetal autopsy findings were obtained, and the diagnostic value and classification consistency of prenatal ultrasound for hypospadias, severe hypospadias, and mild hypospadias were analyzed. Descriptive statistical analysis was used for data analysis.Results:(1) A total of 70 fetuses were included in the study; among them, 64 were singletons (91.4%), and six were twins (8.6%). The maternal age was (31.3±5.1) years, ranging from 21 to 50 years. The gestational age at diagnosis was (29.7±4.5) weeks, ranging from 21 +3 to 39 weeks. Fifteen mothers (21.4%) had a history of early pregnancy preservation (including the six twin pregnancies), nine mothers (12.8%) had previously given birth to fetuses with hypospadias, and four fathers (5.7%) had a history of reproductive surgery (specifics not detailed). Among the 70 cases, 49 (70.0%) were diagnosed with hypospadias after birth and 17 (24.3%) pregnancies were terminated, with a gestational age of (30.2±5.3) weeks, ranging from 26 +4 to 36 weeks. The post-delivery pathological autopsy confirmed hypospadias in all 17 cases, including two isolated hypospadias and 15 combined with other abnormalities. (2) Among the 70 cases, 53 (75.7%) were diagnosed with hypospadias by prenatal ultrasound, including 29 severe and 24 mild cases; the remaining 17 cases were not diagnosed with hypospadias prenatally. Postnatal (post-delivery) diagnosis confirmed hypospadias in 49 cases, including 28 severe and 21 mild cases. Additionally, 21 cases were confirmed to have no hypospadias. (3) A total of 36 cases were detected with hypospadias and other abnormalities by prenatal ultrasound. Among the 28 cases diagnosed with severe hypospadias postnatally (after delivery), 24 cases (85.7%) had other ultrasound abnormalities. Among the 21 cases of mild hypospadias, 12 (57.1%) had other ultrasound abnormalities. Among the 53 fetuses diagnosed with hypospadias prenatally via ultrasound, 46 were confirmed postnatally (after induced labor); out of the 29 cases diagnosed prenatally as severe hypospadias, 27 were confirmed; and among the 24 cases diagnosed prenatally as mild hypospadias, 19 were confirmed. The positive predictive values of prenatal ultrasound for hypospadias, severe hypospadias, and mild hypospadias were 86.8% (46/53), 93.1% (27/29), and 79.2% (19/24), respectively. Among the 49 cases confirmed postnatally (after delivery), three cases (6.1%) were missed by prenatal ultrasound, and seven cases (14.3%) were misdiagnosed by ultrasound, possibly due to the failure to observe the fetal penile tip in detail on the median sagittal plane. Conclusions:Prenatal ultrasound has certain diagnostic and classification values for hypospadias. During the examination, it is necessary to observe the fetal penile tip in multiple planes and comprehensively analyze ultrasound characteristics to improve diagnostic accuracy.
