RESUMEN
Pregnant women infected with HCV should be given attention due to their special physiological stage and the effect on offspring health. To examine the prevalence of HCV infection among pregnant women in part of China and explore relevant factors during pregnancy, a cross-sectional study was conducted in four maternal and children health care institutions (MCHC) in Guangdong, Hunan and Chongqing. Pregnant women who were delivered, induced or spontaneous abortion were included and relevant information was collected through the Hospital Information System. Results showed that the prevalence of HCV among pregnant women in four MCHCs was 0.11% (95% CI 0.09-0.13%). Age, occupations, regions, syphilis-infection, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), and placenta previa were significant factors (all P < 0.05). Age and syphilis-infection were positively correlated with HCV infection (Z = 3.41, P = 0.0006; OR = 18.16, 95% CI 9.34-35.29). HCV and HBV infection were risk factors of ICP (OR = 4.18, 95% CI 2.18-8.04; OR = 2.59, 95% CI 2.31-2.89). Our study indicates that the prevalence of HCV among pregnant women in the three provinces(city) was low compared with the general population in China. Older age and syphilis-infection increased the risk of HCV infection during pregnancy. HCV infection was a risk factor of ICP. Generally, we need keep a watchful eye on HCV infection and relevant factors mentioned above during pregnancy in clinic, especially those also infected with syphilis. HCV testing based on risk factors is recommended in antenatal care and obstetrics.

Objective To explore the relationship between non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol(non-HDL-C)level and leptomeningeal collateral circulation in patients with acute middle cerebral artery occlusion.Methods A total of 85 patients with first-onset acute cerebral infarction with middle cerebral artery M1 segment occlusion were enrolled.According to the results of DSA,LMC circulation was assessed by American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology Collateral Circulation Assess-ment System.All patients were assigned to better LMC circulation group(score 2~4,n = 30)and worse LMC circulation group(score 0~1,n = 55),and the levels of non-HDL-C were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of LDL-C and non-HDL-C in worse LMC circulation group were significantly higher than those of the better LMC circulation group(P = 0.026,P = 0.010).non-HDL-C was an independent risk factor for the worse LMC circulation(OR = 3.019,95%CI:1.053~8.658,P = 0.04).LMC circulatory score of patients was negatively correlated with the levels of non-HDL-C level(r =-0.228,P = 0.036).The AUC of non-HDL-C predicted for the worse LMC circulation was 0.638(95%CI:0.521~0.755,P = 0.036).Conclusions non-HDL-C in patients with acute cerebral infarction was significantly related to worse LMC circulation,and was a risk factor for worse LMC circulation.It is suggested that the higher expression of non-HDL-C could be used to predict worse LMC circulation as a serological indicator.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo compare the retest reliability and discriminant validity of dynamic postural stability indices for functional ankle instability (FAI) obtained by different algorithms based on acceleration signals at different positions of human body. MethodsFrom April to June, 2021, 21 subjects with unilateral FAI and 21 subjects with normal ankle were recruited. Three inertial sensors were attached to the waist points, knee and ankle positions. The ground reaction force (GRF) and kinematics data of the subjects in multi-direction single leg landing test were collected synchronously by 3D force plate and inertial sensors. The unbounded third order polynomial (UTOP) fitting method was used to calculate the stability time, and the root mean square was used to caculate the stability index. ResultsMost of the indicators calculated based on acceleration signal correlated with that based on GRF with low coefficient (|r| = 0.116 to 0.368, P < 0.05). The stability time and stability index based on the acceleration signals of different positions of human body showed low to high retest reliability (CMC 0.30 to 0.91). For the females, among the stability time based on acceleration signal, eleven indexes achieved average to very high discriminant validity (AUC = 0.702 to 0.942, P < 0.05); eight of the stability indexes reached general level of discriminant validity (AUC = 0.717 to 0.782, P < 0.05). No algorithms achieved good discriminant effect in male subjects. ConclusionBased on the acceleration signal of waist point in single-leg landing stability test, the stability time calculated by UTOP algorithm can evaluate the dynamic postural stability of female FAI patients with high discriminant validity and medium to high retest reliability.
RESUMEN
Objective To discuss the clinical application of reverse dorsal metatarsal artery perforator flap for reconstruction of forefoot soft tissue defects.Methods Since January,2008 to March,2016,43 patients with forefoot soft tissue defect due to various causes were reconstructed with the flap based on dorsal metatarsal artery perforator.Dorsal pedis was used as a donor site with dorsal metatarsal artery perforator as the donor artery.The flap size varied from 2.0 cm × 4.0 cm to 6.0 cm × 8.0 cm.Among them,27,8,4 and 4 cases were reconstructed with flap based on first,second,third and fourth dorsal metatarsal artery perforator flap respectively.Results All the patients were followed-up which ranged from 3 months to 24 months.Six flaps suffered from post operative venous congestion.Out of 6,4 survived with early emergency management while the remaining 2 suffered epidermal necrosis which survived with regular dressing change.Eventually,all the flaps survived.They had good texture and they were elastic,good-looking and very wear-resisting.Walking function was normal.Conclusion Reverse dorsal metatarsal artery perforator flap is an ideal choice in reconstruction of small to medium sized soft tissue defects of forefoot.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the related factors with skin flap necrosis,we concluded the cases of patients with skin defects after free flap plantation.Methods From 2001 to 2016,188 cases about 20 influencing factors were analyzed (The characteristics of patients:age,sex,smoke,diabetes,high blood pressure;Preoperative factors:injured sections,injured causes,preoperative wound infection,preoperative wound osteomyelitis,the time from injury to operation;Intraoperative factors:operator,operation time,anesthesia time,intraoperative rehydration fluids,the way of vascular anastomosis,the number of venous anastomosis,the area of flap;Postoperative factors:flap hematoma,flap infection,vascular crisis) and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between these risk factors and flap necrosis.Results All 188 cases were treated with free anterolateral thigh flap to repair soft tissue defect and it was revealed that the 174 cases were successful (92.55%) and 23 cases were occured vascular crisis (12.23%),8 cases were arterial crisis,11 cases were vein crisis,4 cases were ateriovenous crisis.After the treatment,the rescue was successful in 5 cases (38.46%).After the analysis we made the conclusion that the number of venous anastomoses,flap hematoma and vascular crisis were related with the skin flap necrosis.Conclusion The number of venous anastomose (≥2) will increase blood return to make the flap easier to survive.Intraoperative stanching and drainage tube placement work will reduce the skin flap hematoma as a result of reducing the skin flap necrosis.Artery and venous crisis handled in time,can enhance the survival rate of flap.
