RESUMEN
A 33-year-old woman was admitted at 34 +4 weeks after embryo transfer and over 5 d of cutaneous pruritus. Over 2 years ago, the patient had a third-generation test tube baby due to Marfan's syndrome and gave birth to a live baby girl at full term. This time, the glucose tolerance test during the prenatal examination indicated that the patient was with gestational diabetes, and the blood glucose fluctuated within the normal range after the medical nutrition management and exercise control. The heart ultrasound examination during pregnancy showed that the aortic sinus was enlarged to 40 mm, and the left ventricular systolic function was normal. The patient was diagnosed as "intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (mild)". After admission, the gestational age was verified to be 37 +2 weeks according to the time of embryo transfer, and the diagnostic result was modified to be intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (severe). During the test, the patient complainted back pain, which might interpreted as a sign of aortic dissection. Cesarean section was carried out under multidisciplinary cooperation, during which the amount of bleeding was 600 mL, bilateral uterine artery ligation was performed and a live baby boy was delivered. The body mass of the baby was 3 020 g, and the Apgar scores (1-5-10 min after delivery) were 10-10-10. The postoperative CT angiography showed aortic dissection (Type B). It was found in the follow-up that the patient had no discomforts such as chest tightness and shortness of breath, and recovered well after the delivery.

As one of the most important decorative materials for the modern household products, decorative papers impregnated with melamine not only have better decorative performance, but also could greatly improve the surface properties of materials. However, the appearance quality (such as color-difference evaluation and control) of decorative papers, as an important index for the surface quality of decorative paper, has been a puzzle for manufacturers and consumers. Nowadays, human eye is used to discriminate whether there exist color difference in the factory, which is not only of low efficiency but also prone to bring subjective error. Thus, it is of great significance to find an effective method in order to realize the fast recognition and classification of the decorative papers. In the present study, the visible spectroscopy coupled with principal component analysis (PCA) was used for the pattern recognition of decorative papers with different visual characteristics to investigate the feasibility of visible spectroscopy to rapidly recognize the types of decorative papers. The results showed that the correlation between visible spectroscopy and visual characteristics (L*, a* and b*) was significant, and the correlation coefficients wereup to 0.85 and some was even more than 0. 99, which might suggest that the visible spectroscopy reflected some information about visual characteristics on the surface of decorative papers. When using the visible spectroscopy coupled with PCA to recognize the types of decorative papers, the accuracy reached 94%-100%, which might suggest that the visible spectroscopy was a very potential new method for the rapid, objective and accurate recognition of decorative papers with different visual characteristics.
RESUMEN
Surface glossiness is one of the important visual appearance parameters of natural polymer material (wood) and its related products. To realize the fast measurement of natural polymer material surface glossiness is of great significance to the online quality control and assessment of its surface. In order to broaden the application of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in the field of polymer material surface quality control and realize the feasibility of NIR as a fast measurement of surface glossiness, the NIR combined with partial least squares (PLS) analysis were used to analyse the correlations of natural polymer material wood surface glossiness between the NIR predicted and lab measured, and then to investigate the feasibility of NIR to rapidly predict the surface glossiness of natural polymer material wood. The results showed that the wood NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy regularly varied with the different wood surface glossiness, from which we can concluded that the NIR spectrums reflected the information of wood surface glossiness. The correlation coefficients of surface glossiness between the PLS models predicted and lab measured were up to 0.90. Additionally, by changing the degree between the fiber and sample surface, we collected the different wood NIR spectrums, the accuracy of NIR surface glossiness models based on these NIR spectrums had not significantly improved, and models based on the NIR spectrums collected by the 90 degree between the fiber and sample surface performed better.

BACKGROUND: Bell's palsy is an idiopathic peripheral nerve palsy involving the facial nerve. Pregnancy, diabetes mellitus and hypertension are the risk factors for Bell's palsy. However, the association between hypertensive disorders and Bell's palsy during pregnancy or the puerperium remains unclear. This systematic review will comprehensively summarise the literature and evaluate the association between Bell's palsy and hypertensive disorders during pregnancy or the puerperium. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Systematic searches of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials will be undertaken using prespecified search strategies. Observational studies (cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, case reports and series case reports) written in English that investigate the association between hypertensive disorders of late pregnancy and Bell's palsy during pregnancy or the puerperium will be included. Different authors will independently conduct the eligible study selection, perform data extraction and appraise the quality of included studies. Subgroup analysis will be carried out based on the age of pregnant women (≤35 years old, >35 years old), parity (primipara, multipara) and fetus number (singleton or multiple-gestation pregnancy). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This review will be based on published literature, and thus there is no requirement for ethics approval. The results of this study will aid in the knowledge of the relationship between Bell's palsy during pregnancy or the puerperium and hypertensive disorders of late pregnancy. The results of this systematic review will be shared through publication in a peer-reviewed journal with good visibility for the field of obstetrics and presentations at academic conferences. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42023422902.

In order to investigate the feasibility of visible/Near Infrared(Vis-NIR)spectroscopy to predict the surface roughness of natural polymer material(wood) as a non-contact measurement method, the correlations between Vis-NIR spectroscopy and surface roughness measured by contact(stylus) instruments from three different sections of wood samples were analyzed. The results showed that the surface roughness parameters, arithmetical mean deviation of profile (Ra), ten-point height of irregularities (Rz) and the maximum height of profile (Ry), of wood samples were successfully predicted by using Vis-NIR (400-2,500 nm) models from the three sections of the samples. The correlations between values measured by the stylus instruments and the values predicted by the models were good. The correlation coefficients of Rz reached up to 0.92. Compared to the models based on the Vis-NIR from the radial section and tangential section of the samples, the predictive effect of the model based on cross section was the best. The correlation coefficients between the values measured by the stylus instruments and the values predicted by the models based on different spectrum wavelength range, 400-780, 780-1,100, 1,100-2 500, 780-2,500 and 400-2,500 nm, were generally above 0.80. The prediction results of the model based on spectrum wavelength range 400-2,500 nm was better than the models based on the other spectrum wavelength ranges. The results showed that the predictive effect was not improved by pretreatment of the spectrum. It is proposed to use the original spectrum to predict the surface roughness of natural polymer material.

IMPORTANCE: Postmenopausal ovarian masses are not uncommon, and the incidence of ovarian cancer rises sharply after menopause. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the natural history and malignant potential of postmenopausal simple ovarian cysts. EVIDENCE REVIEW: PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), ClinicalTrials.gov , and ISRCTN (International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Register) were searched from inception to January 31, 2022. Meta-analyses were conducted using R software. FINDINGS: Twelve cohort studies with 1,672 participants and 1,513 ovarian cysts were included. The rates of simple cysts remaining unchanged (38.90%; 95% CI, 19.79%-59.85%; P < 0.01) or disappearing (34.17%; 95% CI, 19.13%-50.93%; P < 0.01) were the highest during conservative observation. The surgery rate for the simple cyst was 19.04% (95% CI, 8.19%-32.92%; P < 0.01). The malignancy rate (including borderline tumors) was very low, approximately 1/10,000 (95% CI, 0% to 0.23%; P = 0.79). CONCLUSIONS: Simple ovarian cysts in postmenopausal women were most likely to remain unchanged or disappear during follow-up. The malignancy rate was approximately 1 in 10,000. Personal preference is the most common reason for surgery.

The feasibility of wood identification of softwood and hardwood by near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) coupled with partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was investigated in the present paper. The near infrared spectra (780 - 2 500 nm) were collected from wood cross-section from one softwood species (Chinese fir) and one hardwood species (eucalyptus). The results show that: (1) The identification accuracy of the calibration samples predicted by the model based on NIR coupled the PLS-DA was 100%. The correlation coefficient between the NIR predicted category variable value and the true value was 0.990, and the SEC was 0.071; (2) The identification accuracy by the model based on the spectra with 780-1 100 nm wavelengths also was 100%, and the correlation coefficient and SEC were 0. 990 and 0. 070, respectively; (3) The identification accuracy for the test samples was 100%. It was suggested that NIR can be used to rapidly and accurately identify softwood and hardwood samples. It also provides a new approach to identifying wood species.

Gas-liquid phases gliding arc discharge has been investigated as a potential treatment technology for liquid phase pollution treatment. To further understand the interaction mechanisms of gas-liquid phase gliding arc degradation process for the wastewater treatment, the characteristics of major reactive species (the OH and NO radicals) in a gas-liquid gliding arc at atmospheric pressure have been investigated by using optical emission spectroscopy. The chemical reactions that may lead to the generation of free radicals in the discharge were discussed. The influence of operating conditions (water feed rate, input voltage etc. ) on the relative intensity of radical emission was studied. The results show that axial evolution of the relative emission intensity of both reactive species exhibit the similar tendency under the same operating conditions. In non-thermodynamic equilibrium region of the arc discharge, the intensities of both radicals increase with the input voltage. In addition, the intensity of OH radical increases with the water feed rate, while the opposition phenomena are observed for NO radical.
RESUMEN
The residential areas, science and education areas, urban green lands, commercial districts, urban arterial roads, industrial zones and urban and rural junction districts in seven different functional zones of Luoyang City were taken as research subjects, and sixty-three soil samples were gathered. The concentrations of soil heavy metals were measured and their pollution levels were evaluated by single pollution index and Nemerow complex pollution indices. The ecological risks of soil heavy metals were discussed with Hakanson potential ecological risk index (RI) and their geneses and sources were indicated by the principal component analysis (PCA). The results showed that the average level of all heavy metals exceeded the background values of Henan Province. The pollution degree of single gene index was in the following order:Cd> Zn> Pb> Cu> Ni> Cr. Nemerow complex pollution indices indicated heavy metals had the highest concentration and the heaviest pollution in industrial zones. A single heavy metal potential ecological harm (Eri) showed Cd had the highest risk index. RI was ranked as industrial zones> urban arterial roads> commercial districts> residential areas> science and education areas> urban green lands> rural junction districts. The heavy metal pollution in industrial zones, urban arterial roads and commercial districts reached strong levels, and the pollution in residential areas, science and education areas, urban green lands reached moderate risk levels, but that in rural junction districts belonged to slight risk level. Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd were called anthropogenic factors and came from industrial wastes and transport emissions, but Cr and Ni were explained as natural factors and their contents depended upon the parent materials of soil.
