RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the menstrual conditions of women infected with COVID-19 in Shanghai and analyze the influencing factors. MethodsFrom December 2022 to March 2023, menstrual data from 281 women infected with COVID-19 in Shanghai were collected with a questionnaire survey, including usual menstrual characteristics, the most recent menstrual period post-infection, symptoms of infection, and medication usage. According to the crossover period between the menstrual period and the infection period of the respondents, the samples were divided into two groups for comparative analysis: those whose menstrual and infection periods overlapped (positive group) and those whose menstruation started after conversion to virus-negative (negative conversion group). ResultsAmong the 281 respondents, 196 (65.8%) experienced menstrual changes. Among them, 145 (51.6%) had changes in menstrual volume, color and texture, and 109 (38.8%) had changes in menstrual duration or cycle. Decreased menstrual volume (22.1%), darker color (23.49%), thicker texture (21.0%), increased blood clots (16.7%), and prolonged duration (21.8%) were observed in both groups. The rate of changes in menstrual volume, color, and texture was higher in the positive group (56.8%, 69/110) than that in negative group (37.3%, 76/171) (P<0.05). Regarding the menstrual cycle changes, the rate of early onset was higher in the positive group (14.5%) compared to the negative conversion group (3.5%)(P<0.05), while the rate of delayed menstruation was higher in the negative conversion group (25.1%) than that in the positive group (5.5%) (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed a weak association between sore throat and menstrual changes (r=0.154, P<0.05). ConclusionSome women infected with COVID-19 experience short-term changes in their menstrual conditions, characterized by reduced volume, darker color, thick texture, increased clots, and prolonged menstrual duration, reflecting a pathogenesis of blood stasis. Menstruation during the infection period tends to occur earlier, while delayed menstruation is more prevalent at post-conversion.
RESUMO
Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world, which is classically subgrouped into two major histological types: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (85% of patients) and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) (15%). Tumor location has been reported to be associated with the prognosis of various solid tumors. Several types of cancer often occur in a specific region and are more prone to spread to predilection locations, including colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, lung tumor, and so on. Besides, tumor location is also considered as a risk factor for lung neoplasm with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease/emphysema. Additionally, the primary lung cancer location is associated with specific lymph node metastasis. And the recent analysis has shown that the primary location may affect metastasis pattern in metastatic NSCLC based on a large population. Numerous studies have enrolled the "location" factor in the risk model. Anatomy location and lobe-specific location are both important in prognosis. Therefore, it is important for us to clarify the characteristics about tumor location according to various definitions. However, the inconsistent definitions about tumor location among different articles are controversial. It is also a significant guidance in multimode therapy in the present time. In this review, we mainly aim to provide a new insight about tumor location, including anatomy, clinicopathology, and prognosis in patients with lung neoplasm.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the type of exposure to early family disadvantaged risks and internalization problems in adolescents.Methods:Totally 746 adolescents were assessed with family disadvantaged risk items and Chinese version of Achenbach youth self-report (YSR-CV). The Welch's ANOVA test and post-hoc test were used to compare the scores of three different risk factors on internalization problems.The independent sample t-test was adopted to compare the scores of internalization problems between experienced 5 or more kinds of risk factors and less than 5.Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between the number of family risk factors experienced and the scores of internalization problems.Random forest regression analysis was used to test the variable importance(VI) of the internalization problem. Results:The differences in anxiety/depression and withdrawal scores between higher or lower-level risks group were significant ( P<0.05). The scores of adolescents with five or more adverse experiences on anxiety/depression(7.7±3.5), withdrawal (8.8±4.0) and physical problems(4.1±3.7) were higher than those with fewer than five risk factors(5.5±3.8), (6.7±3.4), (2.6±3.6). The cumulative family disadvantaged risk items was positively correlated with anxiety/depression( r=0.29, P<0.01), withdrawal( r=0.29, P<0.01), and physical symptoms ( r=0.26, P<0.01). The most important factor associated with anxiety/depression(VI=0.84, P=0.002; VI=0.56, P=0.022), withdrawal(VI=0.58, P=0.013; VI=0.89, P=0.001), and physical symptoms was marital relationship of parents and health status of family members. Conclusion:The parents’ marital relationship and health status of family members are the specific factors that influence the internalization problems, and the higher the level of risk adolescents experience, the more likely they are to develop internalization problems.
RESUMO
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) refers to an uncommon phenomenon that some fluorogens are weakly emissive in solution but become intensely florescent in aggregated state. Fluorogens with the characteristics of AIE are called AIEgens. Traditional dyes often suffer from a common photophysical phenomenon named aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). As an anti-ACQ phenomenon, AIE shows great potential in biomedical applications. In this paper, the flurescence mechanism and characteristics of AIE are summarized, and the recent advances of aggregation-induced emission in tumor diagnosis and therapy is reviewed.
RESUMO
As one of the main methods of postoperative adjuvant therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, the clinical effect of platinum-containing dual-drug chemotherapy has reached a ceiling effect and it is difficult to further improve the survival of patients with NSCLC. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors have become the standard first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutation, but its value as postoperative adjuvant therapy is far to be investigated. Some studies have been carried out in this field in recent years.
RESUMO
To discuss the result of treating tibia deformity with fixator assisted nailing technique (FAN). Methods A total of 5 patients with 7 limbs of tibial deformity?were treated with FAN technique. Etiology: 2 patients with bilater?al tibial deformity suffered from Ricket's disease, 2 patients were malunion after tibial fracture, 1 patient was congenital pseudoar?throsis of tibia.

RESUMO
Objective To introduce the technique we invented to treat hypertrophic and oligotrophic nonunion of femoral shaft fracture after dynamization of intramedullary nail (IMN) and to report its preliminary results.Methods The data of 2 cases with hypertrophic nonunions of femoral shaft fracture and 1 case with oligotrophic nonunion following IMN dynamization who had been treated by the technique from March 2006 to July 2017 in Beijing Jishuitan hospital were retrospectively studied.There were 2 females and 1 male,aged 50,66 and 24 years old.2 parallel half pins were inserted from anterior to posterior at the trochanteric and condylar zones of the femur for antegrade intramedullary nailing patients,and from lateral to medial sides for retrograde intramedullary nailing patient respectively,then the pins were connected with monolateral limb reconstruction fixator.The fracture nonunion site was compressed by the fixator up to 10-15 mm.The holes at the end of intramedullary nail where their screws were removed for dynamization were locked again with 2 locking screws,and then the frame was removed.The patients are allowed to start their rehabilitation and fully bear their body weight 1 day after the operation.Results The three patients were followed up for 25,22,and 7 months after the surgery,respectively.The X-ray films showed the fracture healed at 7 months in two case,and at 12 months in one.One patient got her nail removed 25 months after the operation,feeling good 37 months after the removal.Conclusion This technique is an option to manage the hypertrophic and oligotrophic fracture nonunion of the femur after dynamization of IMN.It is mini-invasive to the nonunion site,easy to practice and allows early rehabilitation.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the application value of functional MRI in the differential diagnosis between breast mucinous carcinoma and phyllodes tumor(≥ 3 cm). Methods 55 cases of breast mucinous adeno-carcinoma and phyllodes tumors(≥ 3 cm)from January 2012 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. MRI features of 20 mucinous carcinomas and 35 phyllodes tumors were analyzed,compared with pathology. Re-sults There were 20 cases of breast mucinous carcinoma in current study,including 14 cases of pure mucinous carcinoma and 6 cases of mixed mucinous carcinoma. There were 35 cases of phyllodes tumors,including 9 be-nign,18 borderline and 8 malignant cases. There was no significant difference in T1WI signal and enhancement mode between breast mucinous carcinoma and phyllodes tumors. There were significant differences in age,long di-ameter,morphology,lobulation,border,ADC value,EER,T2WI signal and TIC curve pattern(P < 0.05). The area under ROC(AUC)of ADC value and EER for breast mucinous adenocarcinoma and phyllodes tumor was 0.7036 and 0.8029,respectively. Conclusions Multi-model functional MRI can effectively distinguish breast mucinous adenocarcinoma from phyllodes tumor(≥ 3 cm),and EER is more accurate than ADC value.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the medial submuscular plating of the femur after limb lengthening and correction with frame in patients with limb length discrepancy and/or angular deformity.Methods A retrospective study was conducted involving 12 patients who had been referred to Department of Orthopaedic Trauma,Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from December 2009 to November 2016 for limb length discrepancy and/or angular deformity.They were 3 males and 9 females,with an average age of 23 years (from 14 to 32 years).Altogether 4 left and 8 right sides were involved.Of them,11 got their length discrepancy and/or angular deformity secondary to injury to distal femoral epiphyseal plate caused by trauma in their childhood and one had length discrepancy and angular deformity following unsuccessful conservative treatment of superior condylar fracture of the femur.The femoral shortening ranged from 3 to 11 cm (average,6.7 cm),and the varus or valgus deformity of the knee ranged from 8° to 18° (average,12°).First,a monolateral fixator was installed on the lateral femur.The limb was lengthened from 7 to 14 days after diaphysis osteotomy.Femoral supracondylar osteotomy was conducted again in patients with knee angular deformity after the lengthening reached the expected length and the deformity was corrected with the aid of external fixator.After medial submuscular plating via the femoral lateral approach using minimally invasive techniques,the external frames were removed.The time for plate removal,limb lengthening and correction of the varus or valgus deformity were documented.Results The mean follow-up was 31 months (from 23 to 43 months) for the 9 patients who had their plates still in situ,and 6.5 months (from 2 to 14 months) for the 3 patients who had subsequently their plates removed.None had blood transfusion.All underwent distraction osteogenesis of the femur to their preoperatively expected length,ranging from 3 to 9 cm (mean,6.2 cm).Both varus and valgus deformities were corrected.None developed a deep infection.The range of motion of the knee joint was similar to that before operation in all but one patient who had a range of motion 40° less than the pre-operative one.The time for external fixation averaged 91 days (from 46 to 113 days),with an external index of 22 d/cm.All patients were satisfied with their outcomes.Conclusion Medial femoral submuscular plating after limb lengthening and angular deformity correction with the external fixator on the lateral side is a useful technique for patients with femoral limb length discrepancy and/or angular deformity,significantly shortening the time for external fixation.
RESUMO
Objective To examine the correlation between serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and sustained attention in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).Methods 30 patients with MDD and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in the case-control study.Serum IL-6 levels in all subjects were assessed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Sustained attention in all subjects was measured respectively using rapid visual information processing(RVP) task in the Cambridge neuropsychological tests automated battery (CANTAB).Results Serum IL-6 levels in patients with MDD were significantly higher than those in healthy controls after controlling for gender,age,education,smoking,and BMI ((12.03±0.83) pg/ml,(2.77±0.24) pg/ml) (P<0.01).RVP total misses and RVP mean latency in patients with MDD were higher than those in healthy controls after controlling for gender,age,education,smoking,and BMI(RVP total misses (10.20±4.44),(5.37±3.67),P=0.008,RVP latency (486.78± 135.47) ms,(370.58±72.42)ms,P=0.014).Serum IL-6 level were positively correlated with RVP mean latency in patients with MDD (r=0.46,P=0.011).But there were no correlation between serum IL-6 level and RVP total hits and RVP total misses in patients with MDD(P>0.05),and there were also no relationship between serum IL-6 levels and RVP task in healthy controls(P>0.05).Conclusions Serum IL-6 level may be implicated in the impairment of sustained attention in patients with MDD,and elevated IL-6 level may influence the susceptibility to MDD.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the factors influencing the total cost of hospitalization after internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture.Methods Enrolled in this study were 142 patients with intertrochanteric fracture who had been treated at our department between March 2013 and August 2014.They were 54 men and 88 women,aged from 24 to 95 years (average 69.8 years).Intramedullary fixation was adopted in 135 cases while extramedullary fixation in 7.By AO classification,32 cases were type A 1,75 type A2 and 35 type A3.We analyzed their demographic data,fracture-associated factors,bleeding-associated factors and surgery-associated factors.For univariate analysis,the independent sample t test was performed between 2 groups.One-Way ANOVA analysis was performed among several groups.For multivariate analysis,multivariate linear regression analysis was performed.P < 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant.Results The independent sample test revealed that the total cost of hospitalization for those with preoperative deep venous thrombosis (6.9 ± 1.0 × 105 (¥)) was significantly higher than for those without (5.0 ± 0.8 × 105 (¥)) and the total cost for those undergoing intramedullary fixation (5.5 ± 1.2 × 105 (¥)) was significantly higher than for those undergoing extramedullary fixation (4.4 ±0.7 × 105 (¥)) (P < 0.05).The multiple linear regression analyses showed that preoperative deep venous thrombosis (t =11.750,P < 0.001),perioperative transfusion (t =2.803,P =0.006),hospital stay (t =5.949,P < 0.001) and intraoperative blood loss (t =2.885,P =0.005) were the independent factors influencing the total cost of hospitalization.Conclusions Preoperative deep venous thrombosis,perioperative transfusion,intraoperative blood loss,and hospital stay may influence the total cost of hospitalization for patients undergoing internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture.More attention should be paid to control of the total cost of hospitalization in addition to ensuring the perioperative life safety.

RESUMO
Objective To explore a novel long-circulating dual-receptor targeting and dual-modal molecular probe and investigate its physicochemical properties and targeting effect on breast cancer cells in vitro. Methods Dual-receptor targeting and dual-modal molecular probe RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO was synthesized in the following steps: long-circulating liposome was prepared by film dispersion method;water-soluble superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles and Quantum dots (QDs) were loaded in the hydrophilic and hydrophobic layer of liposome, respectively;RGD and BBN polypeptides were coupled on the former functional magnetic/fluorescent liposomes. Stability of the probe in different physiological solutions was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size analyzer were used to measure nanoparticle sizes and the Zeta potential. Characterization of RGD and BBN was investigated through 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. The MRI T2 relaxivities (1/T2) of RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO was measured through T2 map scanning on 3.0 T MR system. HUV-EC-C cells were used for assessment of cells viability by MTS assay. Prussian blue staining and fluorescence imaging were carried out to determine the targeted breast cellular uptake of RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO nanoparticles. Results The targeting magnetic/fluorescent dual-model molecular probes appeared spherical or para-spherical,with a mean diameter of(118.2±3.9)nm,Zeta potential of (-24.78±1.68) mV,MR T2 magnetic relaxation rate of 0.498 1× 106 M-1 · s-1.RGD and BBN polypeptides were successfully coupled on the former functionally magnetic/fluorescent liposomes with the bind rates of 33.05%and 45.06%, respectively. There was low cytotoxity of the molecular probe on human umbilical vein endothelical cells(HUV-EC-C)by MTS study. Prussian blue staining and fluorescence imaging studies showed that the RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO nanoparticles could target any αvβ3 or gastrin releasing peptide receptor overexpression breast cancer. Conclusions RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO is a novel long-circulating dual-receptor targeting and dual-modal molecular probe and has excellent physicochemical properties and stability, high T2 relaxivities and strong targeting effect on cancer cells and has laid a solid foundation for early diagnosis of breast cancer.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the anti-oxidant effect of pirfenidone (PD) at different dosage on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by paraquat (PQ) poisoning in mice. Methods 144 ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group (n = 24), PQ poisoned group (n = 24), high and low doses PD treatment groups (n = 48). ALI induced by PQ poisoning model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of 25 mg/kg 20% PQ solution in mice, and the mice in control group was given equal volume of normal saline. Intragastric administration with 30 mg/kg and 70 mg/kg PD suspension [PD was dissolved in 0.4% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC) solution] after PQ poisoning immediately for 3 days in high and low doses PD treatment groups respectively, while the same volume of 0.4% CMC solution was administrated in control group and PQ poisoned group. Then mice in each group were respectively sacrificed at 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after PD exposure to harvest the lung tissue, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonaldehyde (MDA) were determined by colorimetry, and pulmonary pathological changes were observed with microscope after hematoxylin-ensin (HE) staining. Results Compared with the control group, NF-κB from 2 hours in PQ poisoned group was significantly increased (pg/mg: 106.65±5.96 vs. 79.04±2.40, P 0.05), but no significant difference in NF-κB activity at all time points was found. Under light microscope, a wide range of red blood cells and serous effusion, alveolar septum fracture and pulmonary interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration were shown by pathologic examination in PQ poisoned group. The pathologic changes in high and low doses PD treatment groups were obviously less than those of PQ poisoned group, and no significant difference was found between the two doses groups. Conclusions The early therapeutic effect of PD may relate to the inhibition of NF-κB and reactive oxygen species, then reduce the inflammation of PQ poisoning. The treatment effectiveness of low dose PD seems better than high dose PD.
RESUMO
Objective Acute coronary syndrome ( ACS) is frequently accompanied by chronic comorbidities , which may se-riously affect its prognosis .This study aims to investigate the value of the Charlson Comorbidity Index ( CCI) in predicting the outcome of ACS by assessing the impact of individual and post-weighted-assignment comorbid conditions of the disease . Methods We retro-spectively analyzed the clinical data on 1 096 cases of ACS treated in Jinling Hospital from January 2010 to March 2014 .We reviewed their general information , clinical presentations , complications , and previous treatments , calculated CCI , and used in-hospital mortali-ty as the index for judging the prognosis . Results Of the 1 096 patients, 73%were males (aged 64.2 ±12.9 years), 27% were females (aged 72.1 ±12.6 years), and 46.8% had comorbidities. Of the diseases included in the CCI system , previous myocardial infarction was the most frequent comorbidity (18.0%), followed by diabetes mellitus ( 14.7%), moderately to severe renal disease (7.1%), cerebrovascular disease (6.0%), and chronic lung dis-ease (6.0%).Single factor analysis revealed statistically significant differences between different CCI groups in such clinical indicators as history of coronary artery disease , history of hypertension , time between symptom onset and admission , hemodynamics , drugs adminis-tered (aspirin, P2Y12 blockers, ACEI/ARB or statins), and reperfusion therapy (P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed the strongest predictors of in-hospital mortality were heart failure (OR 1.88, 95%CI:1.57-2.25), metastatic tumor (OR 2.25, 95%CI:1.60-3.19), renal disease (OR 1.84, 95% CI:1.60-2.11), and diabetes mellitus (OR 1.35, 95% CI:1.19-1.19). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis manifested that either CCI with age or CCI with age and gender was superior to CCI a -lone in predicting in-hospital mortality of ACS patients (AUC 0.761 [95%CI 0.748-0.773] and 0.756 [95%CI:0.743-0.768] vs 0.670 [95%CI:0.656-0.685]). Conclusion Heart failure, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, and metastatic tumors contrib-ute to the in-hospital mortality of ACS patients .CCI together with age and gender may help to assess the prognosis of the disease .

RESUMO
Objective To explore the effects of intestinal trefoil factor ( ITF) on gastric mucosal epithelial cell proliferation and its possible molecular mechanism . Methods The cultured GES-1 cells were treated with ITF in the concentration of 100 ng/mL and 500 ng/mL in vitro, and then were observed using microscope for the morphological analysis .The Cell Counting Kit-8 ( CCK-8) was used to detect the proliferation activity of GES-1.The cultured GES-1 cells were treated with 100 ng/mL ITF and the specific inhibitor of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway LY294002 (15μmol/L) in vitro, and then were observed using microscope for the morphological analysis . The proliferation activity of treated GES-1cells was detected using CCK-8 and the expressions of p-Akt and Akt of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway were determined by Western blot . Results Compared with the control group , the proliferation activity of GES-1 cells in-creased after being treated with ITF and the higher concentration of ITF induced the higher proliferation activity .LY294002 inhibited the increased proliferation activity of GES-1induced by ITF.The data of Western blot indicated that ITF induced the expression of p -Akt and activated the P3IK/Akt signaling pathway to modulate the proliferation activity of GES -1 cells.However, LY294002 inhibited the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and then decreased the proliferation activity of GES -1 cells. Conclusion ITF could promote the proliferation ac-tivity of GES-1 cells by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway .

Objective To investigate the value of fluid resuscitation strategy in septic shock patients by pulse indicator continuous cardiac out ( PiCCO ) .Methods 42 septic shock patients were divided into the PiCCO group(n=26) and the control group(n=16).All patients measured heart rate(HR),mean artery pressure(MAP), central venous pressure(CVP);CI,GEDVI,SVRI,EVLWI,CVP as indicator of fluid resuscitation after 0h,6h,24h of the diagnosis were measured respectively in PiCCO group;CVP as guiding volume resuscitation was measured in the control group .The effect of fluid resuscitation was compared between two groups .To analyse the relationship between CVP,GEDVI and CI in PiCCO group .according to CVP increase 2mmHg ,GEDVI whether elevated 10%.Results After 6h EGDT treatment bundle HR ,MAP,APACHEII score and clearance rate of lactic in PiCCO group improved more than those in control group [(101.3 ±7.8) and (119.4 ±7.2),t=-7.520,P0.05;(53.6 ±11.5) and (-16.5 ±5.2),t =9.283,P 0.05),but ICU hospitalization time decreased in PiCCO group [(13.8 ±2.6) and (23.3 ±2.2),t=-5.075,P0.05).Conclusion Hemodynamic monitoring by PiCCO directed fluid resuscitation strategy can elevate reversal rate .Compared with pressure index CVP ,GEDVI is a sensitive indicator of cardiac preload .Correlation between CVP and GEDVI can reflect cardiac function ,Especially for septic shock patients with cardiac depression .
