Objective:To explore the clinical features and prognosis of central nervous system involvement in patients with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA).Methods:We retrospectively investigated the clinical data of 138 MPA patients hospitalized with MPA in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 1, 2010 to November 1, 2019. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they had the central nervous system (CNS) involvement or not and then Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the survival rate between the two groups, Logistic regression model analysis was adopted to analyze risk factors, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:①29 patients (21.0%)among the 138 MPA had CNS-affected, including 13(44.8%) males and 16(55.2%) females. CNS involvement was present at the diagnosis of MPA in 20 cases (69.0%) and after the diagnosis of MPA in 9 cases (31.0%). ②The clinical manifestations were motor impairment in 14 cases (48.3%), sensory impairment in 10 cases (34.5%), speech loss in 9 cases (31.0%), headache in 8 cases (27.6%), consciousness disorder in 7 cases (24.1%), dysphagia and bucking in 4 cases (13.8%), cranial nerves involvement in 3 cases (10.3%). The imaging manifestations of the head included infarction, hemorrhage, infarction with hemorrhage and linear dural thickening. Five patients received lumbar puncture. One patient showed elevation of cerebrospinal fluid pressure, 1 patient had elevated protein and 5 patients showed elevation of LDH.③Eighteen patients received glucocortoid combined with cyclophosphamide. CNS symptoms recurred in 6 patients, four patients had recurrent cerebral infarction. ④Median survival time was 55 months in the CNS affected group [95% CI=(14.215, 95.785)] and 86 months in the N-CNS group [95% CI=(24.378, 147.622)]. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that there was no significant difference in survival rate between the two groups ( χ2=0.07, P=0.794) . Conclusion:The central nervous system involvement of microscopic polyangiitis is not uncommon. The clinical manifestations are various, with motor impairment the most. The most common imaging manifestation is cerebral infarction and the patients mainly presenteas multiple cerebral infarction. However, the CNS involvement of microscopic polyangiitis is not associated with mortality.
摘要
Glaucoma is one of the most common optic neuropathies, featuring progressive retinal ganglion cell damage and visual field loss (Tham et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2020). Currently, the only effective treatment for this condition is the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) (Palmberg, 2001; Heijl et al., 2002). Canaloplasty is a proven bleb-independent surgery with good efficacy and safety profiles in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) (Gołaszewska et al., 2021). However, early transient postoperative IOP elevation has been reported in up to 30% of cases (Riva et al., 2019), similar to that commonly observed in other internal drainage glaucoma surgeries such as implantation using iStent (0%-21.0%), CyPass (10.8%), and Hydrus (4.8%-6.5%) (Lavia et al., 2017). This complication may be a predictor of poor reserve in the outflow system and is potentially associated with surgical failure. Nonetheless, the exact pathophysiology of glaucoma remains unknown, and studies clarifying the risk factors for postoperative IOP elevation have been scarce.

Pre-eclampsia is a common complication of pregnancy that can result in serious consequences for mother and child health, but there are currently no established therapeutic options. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-exos) are nanoparticles carrying bioactive substances such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, and serve as a medium of intercellular communication. MSC-exos are involved in many important physiological processes, including immunological regulation, cell proliferation and migration, and angiogenesis, thereby play an important role in tissue repair and potentially clinical treatment strategies. In recent years, the treatment strategies of MSC-exos have become an emerging hot topic in the management of ischemic diseases, immune dysfunction, inflammatory diseases, and other fields. We review the advantages and challenges of MSC-exos as a new acellular therapy strategy as well as the feasibility of MSC-exos in managing preeclampsia, from its biological role in the important pathogenesis of preeclampsia, such as trophoblastic and endothelial cell dysfunction, immune imbalance at the maternal-fetal interface, and oxidative stress, and summarize the progress of animal experimental research in this field.

Objective:To observe any effect of transplanting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) after ischemic stroke, and explore its mechanism.Methods:Seventy-two spontaneous hypertensive male rats were randomly divided into a sham group, a model group and a BMSCs group, each of 24. A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced in the rats of the model and BMSCs groups but not in the sham group. The BMSCs rats had 106 BMSCs injected into their tail veins 24 hours after the modeling, while the other 2 groups were injected with the same amount of phosphate buffer. Modified neurological deficit scoring and 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazole chloride staining were performed on the 3rd, 7th and 14th days after the operation. The mRNA and protein expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in the rats′ brain tissues were detected by RT-PCR and western blotting.Results:On the 3rd, 7th and 14th days after the operation, the average neurological deficit score of the BMSCs group was significantly lower and the area of cerebral infarction was significantly smaller than among the model group. Moreover, the infarcted volume in the BMSCs group continued to decrease gradually as time went on. There was no significant difference between the sham and model group in the expression of VEGF or GDNF mRNA or protein 3, 7 or 14 days after the operation. They were, however, significantly higher in the ischemic brain tissue of the BMSCs group compared with the other two groups.Conclusions:BMSC transplantation has a neuroprotective effect on rats with hypertension modeling ischemic stroke. The mechanism may be that BMSCs can up-regulate the expression of VEGF and GDNF in ischemic brain tissue.

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the incidence of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) and its risk factors in very preterm infants (VPIs) during hospitalization in China.@*METHODS@#A prospective multicenter study was performed on the medical data of 2 514 VPIs who were hospitalized in the department of neonatology in 28 hospitals from 7 areas of China between September 2019 and December 2020. According to the presence or absence of EUGR based on the evaluation of body weight at the corrected gestational age of 36 weeks or at discharge, the VPIs were classified to two groups: EUGR group (n=1 189) and non-EUGR (n=1 325). The clinical features were compared between the two groups, and the incidence of EUGR and risk factors for EUGR were examined.@*RESULTS@#The incidence of EUGR was 47.30% (1 189/2 514) evaluated by weight. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher weight growth velocity after regaining birth weight and higher cumulative calorie intake during the first week of hospitalization were protective factors against EUGR (P<0.05), while small-for-gestational-age birth, prolonged time to the initiation of total enteral feeding, prolonged cumulative fasting time, lower breast milk intake before starting human milk fortifiers, prolonged time to the initiation of full fortified feeding, and moderate-to-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia were risk factors for EUGR (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#It is crucial to reduce the incidence of EUGR by achieving total enteral feeding as early as possible, strengthening breastfeeding, increasing calorie intake in the first week after birth, improving the velocity of weight gain, and preventing moderate-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia in VPIs.

Objective@#To investigate the clinical characteristics and placental pathology of 2019-nCoV infection in pregnancy, and to evaluate intrauterine vertical transmission potential of 2019-nCoV infection.@*Methods@#The placentas delivered from pregnant women with confirmed 2019-nCoV infection which were received in the Department of Pathology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology collected by February 4th, 2020 and retrospectively studied. Their clinical material including placental tissue and lung CT, and laboratory results were collected, meanwhile, nucleic acid detection of 2019-nCoV of the placentas were performed by RT-PCR.@*Results@#Three placentas delivered from pregnant women with confirmed 2019-nCoV infection, who were all in their third trimester with emergency caesarean section. All of the three patients presented with fever (one before caesarean and two in postpartum), and had no significant leukopenia and lymphopenia. Neonatal throat swabs from three newborns were tested for 2019-nCoV, and all samples were negative for the nucleic acid of 2019-nCoV. One premature infant was transferred to Department of Neonatology due to low birth weight. By the end of February 25, 2020, none of the three patients developed severe 2019-nCoV pneumonia or died(two patients had been cured and discharged, while another one had been transferred to a square cabin hospital for isolation treatment). There were various degrees of fibrin deposition inside and around the villi with local syncytial nodule increases in all three placentas. One case of placenta showed the concomitant morphology of chorionic hemangioma and another one with massive placental infarction. No pathological change of villitis and chorioamnionitis was observed in our observation of three cases. All samples from three placentas were negative for the nucleic acid of 2019-nCoV.@*Conclusions@#The clinical characteristics of pregnant women with 2019-nCoV infection in late pregnancy are similar to those of non-pregnant patients, and no severe adverse pregnancy outcome is found in the 3 cases of our observation. Pathological study suggests that there are no morphological changes related to infection in the three placentas. Currently no evidence for intrauterine vertical transmission of 2019-nCoV is found in the three women infected by 2019-nCoV in their late pregnancy.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion for dysmenorrhea due to deficiency cold. Methods: A total of 70 patients with dysmenorrhea who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into a mild moxibustion group and a herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group by the random number table, with 35 cases in each group. Shenque (CV 8), Zhongji (CV 3) and bilateral Zigong (EX-CA 1) were selected for both groups. The treatment continued for 3 menstrual cycles. The visual analog scale (VAS) and COX menstrual symptom scale (CMSS) were scored in both groups before treatment, after treatment and at the end of the 3rd menstrual cycle after treatment. The clinical efficacy was evaluated at the end of the 3rd menstrual cycle after treatment. Results: After treatment, the clinical efficacy of the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group had the tendency to be superior to that of the mild moxibustion group, while there was no statistically significant difference in the overall efficacy between the two groups (P>0.05). The VAS and CMSS scores after treatment and at the follow-up were significantly lower than those before treatment in both groups (all P<0.05). At the follow-up, the VAS scores in both groups had no significant intra-group differences from those after treatment (both P>0.05). The CMSS scores in both groups were significantly lower than those after treatment (both P<0.05). The VAS scores at the follow-up of both groups had no statistical differences from those after treatment (both P>0.05). After treatment, the CMSS score in the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group was significantly lower than that in the mild moxibustion group (P<0.05). At the follow-up, there were no statistical differences in the CMSS score between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion has the same therapeutic efficacy for dysmenorrhea as the mild moxibustion; the two moxibustion methods can significantly improve the concomitant symptoms of dysmenorrhea, and the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion is little better.

Objective:To explore the value of the Pfirrmann grading standard for disc degeneration in the quantification of heterotopic ossification (HO) after artificial cervical disc replacement (ACDR).Methods:Data of 120 patients who underwent ACDR from January 2009 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 88 males and 32 females with an average age of 43.86±8.69 (range, 27-67) years old. There were 100 single-level replacements (9 Hybrid cases) and 20 double-level replacements (3 Hybrid cases). The occurrence of HO was observed by lateral radiographs of the cervical spine. The HO severity was assessed using the McAfee rating system. Degeneration degrees of cervical intervertebral discs were evaluated by the Pfirrmann grading standard based on the preoperative cervical MRI. The weighted Kappa test was used to analyze the consistency of evaluations between different observers of the Pfirrmann scoring system and the McAfee grading system. Pfirrmann scores for preoperative disc degeneration in the HO and non-HO groups were compared using the t-test. The chi-square test was used to analyze the effect of the Pfirrmann score on the incidence of postoperative segmental HO. The correlation between Pfirrmann score and McAfee grade, as well as postoperative ROM of HO group were analyzed by the Spearman rank-sum test. Quantitative indicators for risks of HO after ACDR surgery were proposed based on the incidence of segment HO in different Pfirrmann score groups. Results:One hundred and twenty patients were followed up for an average of 74.08±28.05 (range, 31-125) months. Based on statistics of cases 2 years after surgery, the overall HO incidence was 31.67% (38/120). The HO incidence was 27% (27/100) and 55% (11/20) for single-level and double-level replacements, respectively. There were 46 replacement segments in the HO group and 94 replacement segments in the non-HO group. The Pfirrmann score of HO group (3.17±1.08) was 25.80% significantly higher than that of the non-HO group (2.52±0.98) ( t=3.46, P=0.01). The incidence of HO in the replacement segment increased significantly with the preoperative Pfirrmann score ( χ2=12.44, P=0.01). The Pfirrmann score of the intervertebral disc in the HO group had a significant positive correlation with the McAfee grade ( R=0.54, P=0.01) and a significant negative correlation with the ROM ( R=-0.75, P=0.01). At 2 years after the operation, when the Pfirrmann score of the intervertebral disc was less than 3, the incidence of HO in the replacement segment was 20.55%(15/73); when the Pfirrmann score was equal to 3, the incidence of HO was 38.46% (10/26); when the Pfirrmann score was greater than 3, HO incidence was 51.22% (21/41). Conclusion:The Pfirrmann score of cervical disc degeneration was significantly related to the incidence of HO, McAfee grade, and ROM in the postoperative replacement segment. The Pfirrmann score of cervical disc degeneration can be used as a quantitativeindicator of HO risk in ACDR.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of DZWJY-1 type electronic moxibustion apparatus and traditional moxibustion in treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: A total of 76 eligible patients were randomized into an electronic moxibustion apparatus group and a traditional moxibustion group, with 38 cases in each group. The electronic moxibustion apparatus group was intervened by DZWJY-1 type electronic moxibustion apparatus, and the traditional moxibustion group received moxa stick moxibustion for treatment. Neixiyan (EX-LE 4), Dubi (ST 35), Xuehai (SP 10) and Liangqiu (ST 34) were selected for both groups and the treatment was conducted 3 times a week for a total of 12 times. The visual analog scale (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) scores were observed before treatment and after 6 and 12 sessions of treatment, respectively. Results: There were 4 dropout cases in the traditional moxibustion group. Therefore, this trial had 72 valid cases, including 38 cases in the electronic moxibustion apparatus group and 34 cases in the traditional moxibustion group, the differences in the baseline data between the two groups were statistically insignificant (P>0.05). After 6 and 12 sessions of treatment, the VAS scores decreased significantly with the increase of treatment sessions in both groups (all P<0.01), and the betweengroup differences were statistically insignificant at the same time points (both P>0.05). The pain intensity was evaluated using the weighted value of VAS score. The markedly effective rate was 47.4% and the total effective rate was 89.5% in the electronic moxibustion apparatus group, versus 50.0% and 94.1% in the traditional moxibustion group, and the betweengroup differences were statistically insignificant (both P>0.05). After 6 and 12 sessions of treatment, the total score and the component scores including pain, stiffness and difficulty moving in the WOMAC decreased significantly with the increase of treatment sessions in both groups (all P<0.01), and the between-group differences were statistically insignificant (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Electronic moxibustion apparatus and traditional moxibustion both are effective in reducing joint pain and improving joint function in KOA patients, and they are equivalent comparing the clinical efficacy.

BACKGROUND: The X-ray 9-point grading system is established based on cervical disc degeneration and its suitability for evaluation of lumbar disc degeneration has not been validated. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of the evaluation of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration using the 9-point grading system with X-ray, and to explore its clinical application value. METHODS: The correlation between 9-point grading system and Pfirrmann system was statistically analyzed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray images of 172 cases with lumbar disc degeneration or simple lumbago, who were treated in the Shanghai Changzheng Hospital from June 2013 to June 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. The MRI scores of lumbar disc degeneration were evaluated according to Pfirrmann standard, and the X-ray scores were evaluated according to 9-point grading system. The two groups of scores were respectively analyzed by the correlation and regression tests via Spearman rank sum test with SPSS software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) MRI scores (the independent variable X): 2 cases scored 1; 8 cases scored 2; 55 cases scored 3; 84 cases scored 4; 23 cases scored 5. X-ray scores (the dependent variable Y): 2 cases scored 0; 6 cases scored 1; 21 cases scored 2; 43 cases scored 3; 40 cases scored 4; 26 cases scored 5; 16 cases scored 6; 8 cases scored 7; 7 cases scored 8; 3 cases scored 9. (2) The Spearman correlation test showed that significant positive correlation was found between Pfirrmann system and 9-point grading system (P <0.01). Significance test of correlation coefficient proved that there was significant linear correlation between Pfirrmann system and 9-point grading system. Further regression analysis showed the linear regression between Pfirrmann system and 9-point grading system. (3) These findings suggested that Pfirrmann system and X-ray 9-point grading system had a good consistency in evaluating lumbar disc degeneration. As a scientific, fast and effective evaluation method, the X-ray 9-point grading system has a certain reference value in the diagnoses of lumbar degenerative diseases.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of uterine lower posterior wall breakwater-like suture technique in controlling the intraoperative bleeding of placenta previa. Methods From June 2016 to June 2017,47 patients were diagnosed placenta previa in Union Hospital,Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.Posterior wall breakwater-like suture technique was used preferentially,as for cases with poor myometrium layer,lower anterior wall stitch suture was used at the same time.Bilateral descending branches of uterine artery ligation and Cook balloon compression of uterine lower segment was conducted when necessary. The clinic data of the 47 cases were analyzed. Results Thirty cases(63.8, 30/47)were diagnosed placenta inccreta or percreta by ultrasound or MRI preoperatively.Senventeen cases were diagnosed as placenta accreta(36.2%,17/47).Thirty-four cases had the previous history of cesarean section.The average cervical canal length of 47 patients was(2.8±0.9)cm. There were 19 cases(40.4%,19/47)with 1 time posterior wall breakwater-like sutured and 16 cases (34.0%,16/47)with 2 or 3 times posterior wall breakwater-like sutured; 12 cases(25.5%,12/47)were treated with anterior wall stitch suture simultaneously.Ten cases(21.3%, 10/47)underwent uterine artery ligation, 17 cases(36.2%, 17/47)underwent COOK balloon compression on the staxis surface of lower segment. None of them had postpartum hemorrhage or performed internal iliac artery embolization. The median blood loss in the operation was 700 ml,the percentiles 25 was 500 ml,and the percentiles 75 was 1 200 ml.The blood loss≥1 000 ml in 18(38.3%,18/47)patients,and the most serious one was 2 500 ml. The median blood transfusion volume(including allogenetic transfusion and autotransfusion)was 450 ml, the percentiles 25 was 228 ml,and the percentiles 75 was 675 ml.The average vaginal bleeding volume was (150 ± 63)ml first day after operation. The mean hospitalization time was(4.7 ± 1.0)days. The mean gestational weeks of pregnancy termination was(36.1±1.5)weeks,and the mean birth weight of newborns was(2 817±492)g.Apgar score:1-minute 7.8±1.1,5-minute 8.9±0.8.No neonatal death, 16 cases were transferred to neonatal ICU(34.0%, 16/47)mainly for premature delivery and low birth weight. No complication was found in 6 months post-operation. Conclusions Uterine posterior wall breakwater-like suture technique is a simple,safe and effective way in controlling intraoperative bleeding of placental previa. Lower anterior wall stitch suture could effectively stop bleeding and restore the normal uterine shape. Combined application of various methods could significantly reduce the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage and hysterectomy,and improve maternal and fetal prognosis.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the safe duration of apnea and intubation time between face mask ventilation with air and 100% oxygen during induction of general anesthesia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighty adult patients with ASA class I or II without predicted difficult airways were scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia. The patients were randomized to receive anesthesia induction with preoxygenation [Group 1, n=40, fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO)=1] or without preoxygenation (Group2, n=40, FiO=0.21). Two experienced anesthesiologists performed the mask ventilation and tracheal intubation during induction, and the assistants adjusted the oxygen concentration and recorded the pulse oxygen saturation (SpO) and other variables. The cases where SpOdecreased to below 90% before accomplishment of intubation were considered unsuccessful, and mask ventilation with 100% oxygen was given. After tracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation was not initiated until the SpOdecreased to 90%. The number of unsuccessful cases, the safe duration of apnea and intubation time were recorded in the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no unsuccessful case in either groups. The safe duration of apnea was 469.5∓143.0 s in Group 1 and 63.6∓20.0 s in Group 2, and the intubation time was 34.4∓12.6 s and 32.8∓9.6 s, respectively. The safe duration of apnea was significantly longer than the intubation time in both groups (P<0.01). The intubation time and the number of cases with SpO≥90% before completion of tracheal intubation were similar between the two groups. The safe duration of apnea was significantly shorter in Group 2 than in Group 1 (P<0.01) and was correlated with the body mass index of the patients (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Anesthesia induction without preoxygenation can provide sufficient time for experienced anesthesiologists to complete tracheal intubation.</p>

Objective To establish a real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay (qRT-PCR) for the rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of echinoderm microtubule associated protein like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK) fusion genes in non-small cell lung cancer. Methods The specific primers for the four variants of EML4-ALK fusion genes (V1, V2, V3a, and V3b) and Taqman fluorescence probes for the detection of the target sequences were carefully designed by the Primer Premier 5.0 software. Then, using pseudovirus containing EML4-ALK fusion genes variants (V1, V2, V3a, and V3b) as the study objects, we further analyzed the lower limit, sensitivity, and specificity of this method. Finally, 50 clinical samples, including 3 ALK-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) positive specimens, were collected and used to detect EML4-ALK fusion genes using this method. Results The lower limit of this method for the detection of EML4-ALK fusion genes was 10 copies/μl if no interference of background RNA existed. Regarding the method's sensitivity, the detection resolution was as high as 1% and 0.5% in the background of 500 and 5000 copies/μl wild-type ALK gene, respectively. Regarding the method's specificity, no non-specific amplification was found when it was used to detect EML4-ALK fusion genes in leukocyte and plasma RNA samples from healthy volunteers. Among the 50 clinical samples, 47 ALK-FISH negative samples were also negative. Among 3 ALK-FISH positive samples, 2 cases were detected positive using this method, but another was not detected because of the failure of RNA extraction. Conclusion The proposed qRT-PCR assay for the detection of EML4-ALK fusion genes is rapid, simple, sensitive, and specific, which is deserved to be validated and widely used in clinical settings.

Gynecology and obstetrics is a theoretical and practical subject. It is an important goal for the medical students to develop the clinical thinking ability and operating skills and apply them in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. To overcome the limited teaching resources, the rare clinical skills opportunities caused by doctor-patient relationship tension, virtual patient (VP) combined with clinical teaching was applied in clinical teaching, which can reproduce the real, and bring the students to the role of the clinician , enrich the content of the obstetrics and Gynecology clinical teaching. Along with the reform the teaching faculty with high quality was established, their clinical teaching experiences and innovative thinking were improved significantly. The results were evaluated by means of clinical comprehensive ability test. The present study aimed to establish virtual patients of OBGYN (virtual patient, VP) learning to promote learning of basic knowledge, clinic skills, and thinking ability.
