OBJECTIVE To explore the predictive factors of cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia in adult inpatients， and to establish and validate the nomogram prediction model. METHODS Data of adult inpatients treated with cefoperazone/sulbactam in Xi’an Central Hospital from Jun. 30th， 2021 to Jun. 30th， 2023 were retrospectively collected. The training set and internal validation set were randomly constructed in a 7∶3 ratio. Singler factor and multifactor Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the independent predictors of cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia. The nomogram was drawn by using “RMS” of R 4.0.3 software， and the predictive performance of the model was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve and C-index curve. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was used to evaluate the calibration degree of the model. Using the same standard， the clinical data of hospitalized patients receiving cefoperazone/sulbactam in Xi’an First Hospital in the same period were collected for external validation of the nomogram prediction model. RESULTS A total of 1 045 patients in Xi’an Central Hospital were included in this study， among which 67 patients suffered from cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia， with an incidence of 6.41%. After the false positive patients were excluded， 473 patients were included finally， including 331 in the training set and 142 in theinternal validation set. Multifactor Logistic regression analysis showed that age [OR＝1.043， 95%CI （1.017， 1.070）]， estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR） [OR＝0.988，95%CI（0.977， 0.998）]， baseline platelet （PLT） [OR＝0.989， 95%CI（0.982， 0.996）]， nutritional risk [OR＝3.863， 95%CI（1.884， 7.921）] and cumulative defined daily doses （DDDs） [OR＝1.082， 95%CI（1.020， 1.147）] were independent predictors for cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia （P＜0.05）. The C-index values of the training set and the internal validation set were 0.824 [95%CI （0.759， 0.890）] and 0.828 [95%CI （0.749， 0.933）]， respectively. The results of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that χ 2 values were 0.441 （P＝0.802） and 1.804 （P＝0.406）. In the external validation set， the C-index value was 0.808 [95%CI （0.672， 0.945）]， the χ 2 value of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was 0.899 （P＝0.638）. CONCLUSIONS The independent predictors of cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia include age， baseline PLT， eGFR， nutritional risk and cumulative DDDs. The model has good predictive efficacy and extrapolation ability， which can help clinic identify the potential risk of cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia quickly and accurately.

Objective:To investigate the reasonable airflow organization and exhaust system facilities during the operation of the inspection workshop, and solve the problem of the accumulation of harmful gases such as ozone and nitrogen oxides in the workshop.Methods:In May 2023, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology was used to numerically simulate the diffusion of ozone and nitrogen oxides generated by industrial radiographic inspection operations, and the comparative detection method was used to analyze the ozone and nitrogen oxides concentrations before and after the renovation of the ventilation system of the inspection workshop.Results:After the renovation of ventilation system, the average concentration of ozone in the inspection workshop decreased from 0.81 mg/m 3 to 0.03 mg/m 3, and the average concentration of nitrogen oxides decreased from 0.42 mg/m 3 to 0.01 mg/m 3, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=20.51, 10.38, P<0.001) . Conclusion:The ventilation facilities of the inspection workshop are set up in the airflow organization mode of sending up and down the exhaust, and the ventilation pipes are scientifically designed through the calculation of ventilation hydraulic balance, which can effectively control the concentration of harmful gases in the inspection workshop.

The volume of gynecological and obstetric surgeries is large,and the high rates of adverse events incidence such as perioperative cycle fluctuations,postoperative nausea and vomiting and adverse emotional experiences,which is a concern for clinicians.Esketamine is a right-handed isomer of ketamine with a strong affinity for the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor(NMDAR),which has a rapid anesthetic,analgesic and antidepressant effect.It can be administered through multiple routes and has been widely used in clinical anesthesia,postoperative analgesia and depression treatment.The application of esketamine injection in clinical practice is still relatively short,and the benefits and mechanisms during perioperative application have not been fully elucidated,making it a research hotspot in recent years.Many studies have reported that the application of esketamine injection in obstetrics and gynecology surgery can stabilize circulation,and reduce respiratory depression,nausea and vomiting and other adverse reactions.It is also beneficial for the prevention and treatment of postpartum depression under certain conditions,but sometimes there are also temporary pseudo-psychiatric symptoms and other adverse reactions.In this article,we review the pharmacological effects,perioperative application and impact on postoperative recovery of esketamine based on the specialty characteristics of obstetrics and gynecology surgery,and clarify its current application status,as well as possible clinical applications and research directions in the future,to provide reference for the clinicians.

Single-cell RNA sequencing not only can further reveal the heterogeneity of melanoma cells, but also has unique advantages in analyzing the occurrence and development of melanoma, finding new targets for immunotherapy and uncovering mechanisms of drug resistance. This review summarizes the application of single-cell RNA sequencing in melanoma research.

Objective:To evaluate the retinal differentiation ability of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from various somatic cell sources.Methods:The hiPSCs lines BC1- green fluorescent protein (GFP) and Gibco obtained by blood cell reprogramming and the hiPSCs line UE017 obtained by urine cell reprogramming were used to induce retinal differentiation.The morphogenesis and development of retina were recorded with an optical microscope, and the expression of specific molecular markers of various cell subclasses in the retina was detected by immunofluorescence, and the efficiency of retinal differentiation of different cell lines was analyzed and compared.Results:All three hiPSC lines derived from blood and urine cells were able to be induced into three-dimensional (3D) retinal organoids, including neuroretina and retinal pigment epithelial cells.Retinal organoids simulated the development process of retina in vivo and gradually differentiated into all cell subtypes of retina, including retinal ganglion cells, photoreceptor cells, amacrine cells, horizontal cells, bipolar cells, Müller cells, and even formed lamellar structures.However, in terms of the efficiency of acquiring retinal organoids, the hiPSCs derived from blood were more efficient than those derived from urine. Conclusions:hiPSCs from both blood and urine somatic cells can differentiate into 3D retinal organoids, including all subtypes of retinal cells.The differentiation efficiency among lines is different.

Objective To investigate the pathological escalation after cervical cone resection in postmenopausal women, and analyze the related influencing factors. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,School of Medicine, Zhejiang University between July 2013 and January 2015. Seven hundred and fifty cases of cervical cone-cut were enrolled in this study, 129 cases of them were postmenopausal women, and 621 were premenopausal women. All results of patients'liquid-based thin-layer cytology(TCT), HPV test, colposcopy and biopsy pathology, cervical cone resection and postoperative pathological examination were collected. Then the compliance with the pathological examination results after colposcopic cervical biopsy and cervical cone resection, and the related factors affecting the pathological escalation after cervical cone resection were analyzed. The pathological escalation of patients with different menopausal conditions after cervical cone resection was also analyzed. Results (1)Of the 750 patients, there were 329 patients had the same pathological examination results after colposcopic cervical biopsy and cervical cone resection, which accounted for 43.9％(329/750). And 216 cases demonstrated pathological escalation after cervical cone resection, which accounted for 28.8％(216 / 750). The results of TCT examination and menopause were significantly correlated with the pathological escalation after cervical cone resection(P<0.05). However, the condition of HPV infection was unrelated to pathological escalation after cervical cone resection(P>0.05).(2)Compared with the different results of TCT examination [including non-intrusive load monitoring(NILM), atypical squamous cell of undetermined signification (ASCUS), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL)], the ratio of pathological escalation after cervical cone resection was not statistically significant difference between postmenopausal and non-menopausal patients(P>0.05). The proportion of pathological escalation of patients with >5 years of menopause was significantly higher than that of patients with menopause time ≤5 years(40.3％ vs 27.7％, OR=1.8, 95％CI: 1.1-2.8, P=0.029). Among them, when the result of TCT examination was LSIL, the rate of pathological escalation in patients >5 years of menopause was significantly higher than that in menopause time ≤5 years(6/10 vs 26.3％, OR=4.2, 95％CI: 1.1-15.8, P=0.033). While the results of TCT examination were NILM, ASCUS or HSIL showed there was no statistically significant difference between two groups(P>0.05).(3)Among the 143 cases, of which the result of TCT examination was LSIL, 9 cases of the pathological examination results after cervical resection were escalated to cervical cancer, which accounted for 6.3％ (9 / 143). Among 10 cases of menopause time >5 years, 2 cases(2 / 10)of the pathological examination results after cervical cone resection were escalated to cervical cancer. Among 133 cases with menopause time ≤ 5 years, 7 cases (5.3％)were upgraded to cervical cancer after cervical cone resection. The ratio of pathological escalation to cancer in postmenopausal patients with >5 years was higher than that of menopause time ≤5 years. Due to the data volume limitation, the comparison was not statistically significant difference(χ2=0.460, P>0.05). Conclusions In postmenopausal women, especially when menopausal time is > 5 years, the proportion of pathological escalation after cervical cone resection following colposcopic cervical biopsy is increased. And the pathological escalation after cervical cone resection is significantly correlated with the results of TCT examination and menopausal status. Therefore, doctors should treat the colposcopic biopsy pathological results with caution during clinic. Depending on TCT results, loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) sampling could be administrated directly in case of avoid missing diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo carry out genetic analysis for a fetus with Dandy-Walker malformation and provide prenatal diagnosis for its parents during the subsequent pregnancy.

METHODSRoutine G-banding was carried out to analyze the karyotype of the fetus and its parents, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were used to verify the result.

RESULTSThe father showed a normal karyotype, while the mother was found to carry a balanced t(11; 22) (q23; q11) translocation. NGS and FISH analysis verified that the supernumerary marker chromosome carried by the fetus was der(22) t(11; 22) (q23;q11). The fetus was diagnosed with Emanuel syndrome. During the next pregnancy, the fetus was found to carry the same balanced translocation as its mother. After genetic counseling, the couple decided to continue with the pregnancy, and eventually delivered a healthy baby.

CONCLUSIONA fetal case of Emanuel syndrome has been identified. The derivative der(22) t(11; 22)(q23; q11) chromosome probably underlies the Dandy-Walker malformation in the fetus. Combined cytogenetic and molecular analyses can attain a more precise diagnosis for fetal abnormalities detected by ultrasonography.

Objective To produce a comprehensive transcript dataset of Oncomelania hupensis before and after Schistosoma japonicum infection,so as to provide experimental data for perfecting genetic structural information and excavating related mo-lecular markers of O. hupensis infected by S. japonicum. Methods O. hupensis snails were divided into the following 3 groups:one week after S. japonicum miracidium infection,4 weeks after S. japonicum miracidium infection,and normal condition. Mil-lion high-quality reads were obtained from the normalized cDNA of the pooled samples,which were assembled into transcripts. Results A total of 63686 unigenes were identified and were classified into 4 main categories,including general functional pre-diction(15.36%),signal transduction mechanism(11.75%),posttranslational modification(8.89%),and functional unknown (12.20%). Conclusions The transcriptome information of O. hupensis snail after the invasion of S. japonicum shows that sever-al genes are significantly up-regulated or down regulated expression,and that the availability of transcriptome information might provide a strong foundation for further understanding the schistosome-snail interaction at the molecular level.

Objective To assess the expression and significance of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods Sixty-five RA patients and forty-seven healthy controls were recruited in this study.The body mass index (BMI) and serum total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high density lipoprotein (HDL),lipoprotein a,low density lipoprotein (LDL),very low density lipoprotein(VLDL),apolipoprotein A (ApoA),apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and the ratio of LDL-C/HDL-C were tested.Other parameters included disease activity score 28 (DAS28),rheumatoid factor (RF),anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody,erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),c-reactive protein (CRP).Serum PCSK9 level was measured by ELISA and compared between RA patients and healthy controls.Results (1) The serum PCSK9 levels in RA patients were higher than those in healthy controls [(409.36 ±223.52) μg/L vs (292.19 ± 109.79) μg/L,P ＜ 0.05].(2) Compared with subgroup of moderate and low active disease and patients in remission,PCSK9 was significantly higher in patients with highly active disease (P ＜ 0.05).(3) The serum PCSK9 levels were positively correlated with RF,TC,TG,LDL,very low density lipoprotein (VLDL),ApoB,with r values as 0.303,0.490,0.320,0.451,0.319,0.463,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).(4) Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that DAS28,RF,TC and LDL-C/HDL-C were relevant factors for PCSK9 in RA patients.Conclusions The serum PCSK9 level is elevated in RA patients,which is related to RF,disease activity,TC,TG,LDL,VLDL,ApoB.This suggests that PCSK9 is potentially linked to inflammatory reaction and lipid metabolism in rheumatoid arthritis.
