Abstract
Background Life-long peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a renal replacement therapy is limited by peritoneal fibrosis. Previous studies showed immunomodulatory and antifibrotic effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) on peritoneal fibrosis. However, the role of the peritoneal macrophage in this process remains uninvestigated. Methods We examined the therapeutic effects of ADSC and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) in the rat model of dialysis-induced peritoneal fibrosis using methylglyoxal. In addition, treatment of macrophages with the conditioned medium of ADSC and BM-MSC was performed individually to identify the beneficial component of the stem cell secretome. Results In the in vivo experiments, we found dialysis-induced rat peritoneal fibrosis was attenuated by both ADSC and BM-MSC. Interestingly, ADSC possessed a more prominent therapeutic effect than BM-MSC in ameliorating peritoneal membrane thickening while also upregulating epithelial cell markers in rat peritoneal tissues. The therapeutic effects of ADSC were positively associated with M2 macrophage polarization. In the in vitro experiments, we confirmed that interleukin-6 (IL-6) secreted by MSCs upon transforming growth factor-β1 stimulation promotes M2 macrophage polarization. Conclusions In dialysis-induced peritoneal fibrosis, MSCs are situated in an inflammatory environment of TGF-β1 and secrete IL-6 to polarize macrophages into the M2 phenotype. Our findings reveal a previously unidentified role of tissue macrophage in this antifibrotic process. ADSC has the advantage of abundance and accessibility, making the application values extremely promising. Graphical abstract In dialysis-induced peritoneal fibrosis, peritoneal mesothelial cells secrete transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) when exposed to methylglyoxal (MGO)-containing peritoneal dialysate. When situated in TGF-β1, the inflammatory environment induces mesenchymal stem cells to secrete interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-6 polarizes macrophages into the M2 phenotype. The dominant peritoneal tissue M2 macrophages, marked by upregulated Arg-1 expression, account for the attenuation of MGO-induced dedifferentiation of peritoneal mesothelial cells to maintain epithelial integrity.

Abstract
Most oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tumors arise from oral premalignant lesions. Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF), usually occurring in male chewers of betel quid, is a premalignant stromal disease characterized by a high malignant transformation rate and high prevalence. Although a relationship between the inhabited microbiome and carcinogenesis has been proposed, no detailed information regarding the oral microbiome of patients with OSF exists; the changes of the salivary microbiome during cancer formation remain unclear. This study compared the salivary microbiomes of male patients with OSCC and a predisposing OSF background (OSCC-OSF group) and those with OSF only (OSF group). The results of high-throughput sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene indicated that OSF-related carcinogenesis and smoking status significantly contributed to phylogenetic composition variations in the salivary microbiome, leading to considerable reductions in species richness and phylogenetic diversity. The microbiome profile of OSF-related malignancy was associated with increased microbial stochastic fluctuation, which dominated the salivary microbiome assembly and caused species co-occurrence network collapse. Artificial intelligence selection algorithms consistently identified 5 key species in the OSCC-OSF group: Porphyromonas catoniae, Prevotella multisaccharivorax, Prevotella sp. HMT-300, Mitsuokella sp. HMT-131, and Treponema sp. HMT-927. Robust accuracy in predicting oral carcinogenesis was obtained with our exploratory and validation data sets. In functional analysis, the microbiome of the OSCC-OSF group had greater potential for S-adenosyl-l-methionine and norspermidine synthesis but lower potential for l-ornithine and pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide synthesis and formaldehyde metabolism. These findings indicated that the salivary microbiome plays important roles in modulating microbial metabolites during oral carcinogenesis. In conclusion, our results provided new insights into salivary microbiome alterations during the malignant transformation of OSF.

Abstract
Purposes This study was designed to evaluate the effect of preoperative jaundice on long-term prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) after radical resection (R0). Methods A total of 267 GBC patients who underwent R0 resection from January 2004 to December 2014 were enrolled, including 54 patients with preoperative jaundice and 213 patients without jaundice. The clinicopathological parameters between the two groups were compared, and the correlation between preoperative jaundice and the long-term prognosis was furtherly analyzed. Results Unilateral and multivariate analyses of 267 GBC patients showed that the depth of tumor invasion (pT stage), lymphatic metastasis, and hepatic invasion were independent prognostic factors. The univariate and multivariate analysis of 54 GBC patients with preoperative jaundice showed that only pT stage was an independent factor for prognosis. Furthermore, the intraoperative blood transfusion and pT stage were significant different between long-term survival (survive for more than 3 years) and those who died within 3 years (P < 0.05). Conclusion Preoperative jaundice was not the independent factor resulting in the poor long-term prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma after R0 resection. The pT stage was the only long-term prognostic factor in all GBC patients regardless of preoperative jaundice.

Abstract
We measured missing mass spectrum of the ^{12}C(γ,p) reaction for the first time in coincidence with potential decay products from η^{'} bound nuclei. We tagged an (η+p) pair associated with the η^{'}N→ηN process in a nucleus. After applying kinematical selections to reduce backgrounds, no signal events were observed in the bound-state region. An upper limit of the signal cross section in the opening angle cosθ_{lab}^{ηp}<-0.9 was obtained to be 2.2 nb/sr at the 90% confidence level. It is compared with theoretical cross sections, whose normalization ambiguity is suppressed by measuring a quasifree η^{'} production rate. Our results indicate a small branching fraction of the η^{'}N→ηN process and/or a shallow η^{'}-nucleus potential.

Abstract
Based on the historical monitoring survey data from 2018 to 2019, the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics and main influencing factors of nitrogen and phosphorus in the overlying water in Daihai Lake were analyzed, and the differences of the temporal and spatial distribution were discussed. The results showed that the content of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the overlying water was at a high level, especially the total nitrogen content was obviously higher than that in other lakes in China. The content of total nitrogen ranged from 3.29 mg·L-1 to 4.99 mg·L-1, with a mean value of (3.93±0.33) mg·L-1; the content of total phosphorus ranged from 0.063 mg·L-1 to 0.163 mg·L-1, with a mean value of (0.111±0.023) mg·L-1. In spring and summer, the content of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the overlying deep water from the middle of the lake was significantly higher than that in the surrounding area. In autumn, the contents decreased from east to west, and in winter, the contents in the shallow water of the southern area were higher than that in the northern area. Nitrogen and phosphorus in the overlying water were mainly in the dissolved state, and the proportions of total dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus were 86.62% and 77.84%, respectively. The dissolved nitrogen was dominated by nitrate, whereas dissolved phosphorus was dominated by organic phosphorus. The concentration of lake water and the release of endogenous nutrient salts are the main reasons for the high total nitrogen and phosphorus. To prevent further deterioration of water quality, it is suggested to carry out endogenous treatment and ecological restoration in combination with engineering measures.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical phenotypes of epilepsy in patients with GABRA1 gene variants. Methods: A total of 11 epileptic patients (4 boys and 7 girls) who were treated in the Department of Pediatrics, Peking University First Hospital from March 2016 to July 2019 and detected with GABRA1 gene heterozygous pathogenic variants by targeted next-generation sequencing were enrolled. The features of clinical manifestations, electroencephalogram (EEG), and neuroimaging were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 11 epileptic patients carried GABRA1 gene pathogenic variants, of whom 10 were de novo variants and the other one was inherited from the patient's mother. Two patients had the same variants. Six variants were novel. Ages at seizure onset ranged from 3 to 14 months, and the median age was 8 months. The seizure was first observed within 1 year in 10 patients and beyond 1 year of age in 1 patient. Multiple seizure types were observed, including focal seizures in 10 patients, generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCS) in 3 patients, myoclonic seizures in 3 patients, and epileptic spasm in 2 patients. There were 5 patients with multiple seizure types. Sensitivity to fever was observed in 9 patients, among whom 6 patients had a history of status epilepticus. Two patients had photoparoxysmal response. Five patients had abnormal EEG background, and 6 patients had abnormal discharges in EEG during interictal phase. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was normal in all patients. Developmental delay in various degrees was present in 9 patients. Among the 11 patients, Dravet syndrome was diagnosed in 5 patients, West syndrome in 2 patients, undiagnosed early-onset epileptic encephalopathy in 1 patient, and focal epilepsy in the other 3 patients. The ages at the last follow-up ranged from 8 months to 12 years. During follow-up, 8 patients were seizure-free for 6 months to 8 years, and 1 patient had discontinuation of medication. Conclusions: In epilepsy associated with GABRA1 gene variants, de novo pathogenic variants are more common than inherited. Most epilepsy caused by GABRA1 gene variants occurs in infancy. Most patients have multiple seizures and focal seizures are common. Most patients have a comparatively favorable prognosis, but they may still have varied degrees of developmental delay.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of non-operative of colonic fistula following acute pancreatitis. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 354 patients with acute pancreatitis who were admitted to Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2013 to December 2018. Age of the patients was (46±14) years (range: 14-85 years); 249 cases (70.3%) were males. There were 41 cases of acute edematous pancreatitis and 313 cases of acute necrotising pancreatitis. Two hundred and fifteen cases were diagnosed as moderate severe acute pancreatitis and 139 were diagnosed as severe acute pancreatitis. Among 313 cases of acute necrotising pancreatitis, 62 cases underwent non-surgical treatment, 251 cases underwent surgical treatment in which 218 of minimal access retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy underwent percutaneous nephroliguectomy with peripancreatic necrotic tissue removal technique. Results: There were 15 cases of colon fistula following acute necrotising pancreatitis, and the incidence rate was 4.2%(15/354). There were 7 males and 8 females, with age of (39±8) years (range: 27 to 50 years). The median interval between acute pancreatitis onset and diagnosis of colonic fistula was 71 days(27-134) days. Two cases occurred at the hepatic flexure of the colon, 4 cases at transverse colon, and 9 cases at splenic flexure of colon. Of the 354 patients, 39 cases died and the mortality was 11.0%. Two patients underwent laparotomy, and one of them died. The remaining 13 patients underwent non-surgical treatment and were discharged. Conclusion: Acute pancreatitis with colonic fistula can be treated with non-surgical treatment and can achieve good prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is a growing prevalence of diabetes worldwide in patients in the general population, including those with prior myocardial infarction (MI).
Purpose
To describe the characteristics, health status, resource utilization and clinical adverse events of stable post-MI patients with diabetes.
Methods
The long-Term rIsk, clinical manaGement and healthcare Resource utilization of stable coronary artery dISease (TIGRIS) prospective observational study (NCT01866904) obtained data from 8985 stable patients 1–3 years post-MI from 369 centres in 25 countries, who provided diabetes status (no, yes, insulin-treated) and follow-up. Diabetes status, other patient characteristics, medications, medical history and healthcare resource utilization were recorded at enrolment. Health status was assessed at enrolment, 1 and 2 years by EQ-5D-3L and converted to an EQ-5D score. Deaths, cardiovascular (CV) events, bleeding events and related hospitalizations were recorded during 2 years of follow-up.
Results
Diabetes mellitus (DM) was prevalent at enrolment in 2966 (33%) patients of whom 872 (29%) were insulin-treated. Compared to patients without DM, those with DM had a higher mean body mass index (28.2 vs 26.6kg/m2) and heart rate (71 vs 67bpm), were more likely to have had ≥2 prior MIs (12% vs 10%), chronic kidney disease (10% vs 6%), peripheral artery disease (10% vs 5%), heart failure (15% vs 10%), anaemia (4% vs 2%), angina (12% vs 9%), stroke (6% vs 4%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (9% vs 7%). Patients with DM reported more problems for each domain of the EQ-5D (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression), which resulted in a lower mean EQ-5D utility score at enrolment (0.83±0.22 for no-diabetes vs 0.86±0.19 for diabetes). Moreover, they also had higher CV hospitalization rates in the 6 months prior to enrolment (6.4% vs 5%). All these measures were more marked in insulin-dependent diabetics. The incidences of all-cause death, CV death and the composite of CV death, MI and stroke were all significantly higher in patients with DM, especially those on insulin (see Figure). For CV death, MI and stroke the 2-year risk ratios, compared to patients without DM, were 2.64 (P<0.001) and 1.48 (P<0.001) respectively for those with insulin-treated DM and non-insulin treated.
Figure 1
Conclusions
Within a global population of stable post-MI patients, those with DM (especially those on insulin) have poorer health status and EQ-5D utility score, higher hospitalization rates and worse clinical outcomes compared with those without DM. Thus, in cardiac clinics worldwide, patients with DM require particularly close attention.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the microbiological test, antibiotic sensitivity and surgical treatment of periprosthetic joint infection(PJI) cases in post total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional survey was conducted on 318 patients who underwent THA or TKA in 9 clinical centers in Beijing from January 2014 to December 2016.The data of microbiology, antibiotic sensitivity and surgical treatment were collected.The average age of patients was (62.3±13.1) years old (range: 21-86 years old), including 145 males and 173 females.The body mass index was (25.6±3.8) kg/m (2) (range: 15.6-38.1 kg/m(2)). Results: In total, 318 patients had microorganisms detected by periprosthetic tissue culture or synovial fluid culture, 209 cases (65.7%) had Gram-positive bacteria, 29 cases (9.1%) had Gram-negative bacteria, 10 cases (3.1%) had fungi, 3 cases (0.9%) had non-tuberculous mycobacteria, 72 cases (22.6%) were negative, 69 cases (21.7%) had methicillin-resistant bacteria. The antibiotic sensitivity results showed that the overall resistance rate of penicillin, cefuroxime, amoxicillin+clavulanic acid was 79.9%, 69.9%, and 68.1%, respectively; meropenem, vancomycin, and linezolid resistance rate was 0. For the treatment methods of hip and knee PJI, two-stage revision surgery acounted for 72.9% (108/148) and 64.1% (109/170), respectively. One-stage revision surgery accounted for 21.6% (32/148) and 7.6% (13/170), and open debridement surgery accounted for 4.7%(7/148) and 26.4% (45/170). Conclusions: Gram-positive bacteria was still the main pathogen of PJI.The methicillin-resistant bacteria and rare bacteria should be payed attention to. The Majority of hip and knee PJI cases were treated by two-stage revision surgery.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate the use of CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) and electrical evoked auditory brainstem response in children with cochlear nerve deficiency (CND) before cochlear implantation (CI) (electrically evoked auditory brain stem response, EABR) evaluated auditory pathway, auditory cortex function, and cochlear nerve function. Method:Of 6 children with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral internal auditory meatus stenosis was diagnosed by CT as in 4 cases and unilateral internal auditory meatus stenosis in 1 case. In 3 cases, oblique sagittal MRI reconstruction of the internal auditory meatus showed only facial nerve and vestibular nerve existence. 6 cases were diagnosed as CND by imaging, among which underwent fMRI and EABR in 3 cases, respectively. All the children received unilateral CI and were followed up for at least 1 year after hearing and speech rehabilitation. Result:fMRI was examed in 3 cases with CND. It showed that the right auditory cortex was activated in 1 case after sound given to the left ear but no activation was found in the left cortex when sound given to the right ear. 1 case showed activation in bilateral transverse temporal gyrus while sound was given to the left, right and both ears at 2000Hz. Another case had no activation in both auditory cortex. EABR detection elicited V wave in 2 of 3 cases. 6 children received audiological and speech evaluation 1 month, 6 and 12 months after CI. Among them, the hearing level was improved within 6 months after surgery in 4 cases, and the threshold of sound field was (48.15±6.60) dB HL, MAIS and CAP scores were improved. However, SIR score improvement is limited in 3 cases. The hearing level was improved in 1 case, but speech rehabilitation was poor mainly due to the older age. Conclusion:Preoperative comprehensive application of imaging and electrophysiological evaluation of children with CND can more accurately assess the integrity of the auditory pathway and understand the function of the cochlear nerve. It has important reference significance for whether or not to perform surgery. There was a significant difference in auditory speech rehabilitation after CND in children with CND.

[PMID: 31554238 PMCID: PMC6843688 DOI: 10.3390/mi10100640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2019] [Revised: 09/17/2019] [Accepted: 09/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
A novel perylene diimide (PDI) based acceptor P-PDI was synthesized by attaching a phenyl bridge to two octyloxy side chains. With two large volume side chains, the planarity of P-PDI was significantly reduced, leading to weak nano-aggregation of the PDI groups between the different acceptor molecules. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments also revealed that P-PDI was amorphous, and demonstrating the aggregation of P-PDI was successfully suppressed. When blended with PTB7-Th to fabricate a polymer solar cell, a power conversation efficiency (PCE) of 2.21% was achieved, demonstrating that a conjugated bridge with a big volume side chain could significantly reduce the nano-scale aggregation of PDI based acceptor materials, which provides a new strategy to synthesize high efficiency acceptors based on PDI.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in lung transplant (LT) recipients. Methods: The clinical data on 124 consecutive patients who underwent lung transplant at Lung Transplantation Center of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from March 2017 to September 2018 were retrospectively collected. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) was ascertained by vascular ultrasound. Pulmonary embolism (PE) was diagnosed by either chest computed tomography pulmonary angiogram or ventilation/perfusion scan. The risk factors in those patients with postoperative VTE were studied. Results: A total of 124 lung transplant recipients including 78 single lung transplant recipients (62.9%) and 46 bilateral lung transplant recipients(37.1%) were enrolled. Preoperative and postoperative prophylactic anticoagulant was used in 52 patients(52/124, 41.9%) and 69 patients(69/124, 55.6%) respectively. Thirty-two patients developed postoperative VTE among 124 consecutive patients. The overall incidence rate of VTE among 124 LT recipients was 25.8%. The median time to VTE episode following lung transplant was 22.5 days (range 4-295 days). The percentage of DVT in VTE was 93.8%(30/32), involving 1-8 (2.83±1.86) veins. And 60.0% of DVT was from lower extremities and 56.7% located in upper extremities (P>0.05). Four patients (4/32,12.5%) had PE episodes, and half of them suffered from only PE without DVT. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in 32 patients with VTE was 90.6% (29/32), which was significantly higher than that without VTE (64/92,69.6%, P=0.033). However, there was no difference in the use of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) between two groups (96.9% vs 81.5%, P=0.067). Resolution of VTE was successfully accomplished by anticoagulant therapy with long-term use of low molecular weight heparin in 30 patients (93.7%) and followed by oral warfarin in 2 patients (6.3%). Three months follow-up data after anticoagulant therapy showed that total and partial vascular recanalization rate was 65.6%(21/32) and 34.4%(11/32), respectively. Despite anticoagulation-related bleeding complications in three patients, no serious consequences occurred. Conclusions: VTE was frequent in LT recipients. It was speculated that ECMO utilization may be a major risk factor for high incidence of VTE in LT recipients. Aggressive VTE screening/treatment protocols were suggested to be implemented in LT recipients.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the pathogenic gene variants and clinical phenotype features of 26 children with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 26 PME children (11 boys and 15 girls) sent to neurological outpatient clinics and admitted to wards of the Department of Pediatrics, Peking University First Hospital were enrolled prospectively from January 2014 to October 2018. The pathogenic gene variants of PME children and their parents were identified by Sanger sequencing, next generation sequencing panels of epilepsy or trio-based whole exome sequencing and so on. The genotypes and phenotypes of the PME children were anaylzed. Results: The clinical features of 26 children include myoclonus, multiple types of seizures and progressive neurological regression. Their onset ages ranged from 3 months to 15 years. Several pathogenic gene variants were identified in the 15 patients, including TPP1 gene variantions in 3 patients; NEU1, GBA, TBC1D24 and KCNC1 gene variantions in 2 patients respectively; CLN6, MFSD8, ASAH1 and ATN1 gene variantions in 1 patient respectively. Several variants of uncertain significance were identified in 4 patients, including GOSR2 gene compound heterozygous variants in 2 patients, KCTD7 gene compound heterozygous variants in 1 patient, and compound heterozygous variants of an unreported TARS gene in 1 patient. No pathogenic gene variant was identified in 7 patients. In 15 children with the identified pathogenic gene variants, 5 patients were diagnosed with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL), 2 patients with sialidosis, 2 patients with neuronopathic Gaucher disease, 1 patient with dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), and 1 patient with spinal muscular atrophy-progressive myoclonic epilepsy (SMA-PME). Conclusions: PME include a group of diseases with genetic heterogeneity. Identification of the pathogenic gene variants of PME could help to predict the prognosis and guide the genetic counseling.

Abstract
Objective:This study was to analyze the results of video head impulse test (vHIT) of benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood (BPVC) in order to determine the potential value of vHIT in the diagnosis and treatment for BPVC and to discuss its possible pathogenesis of BPVC. Method:Thirty-six children with BPVC were enrolled. No hearing loss and skull abnormality were found in these children as assessed by pure tone audiometry, acoustic impedance, CT or MRI scan. The vHIT was carried out, and main outcome measures were the gain of vestibulo-ocular reflex, gain asymmetry, and refixation saccades. Eleven healthy children were selected as normal control who came to our hospital for doing a routine checkup and have no history of dizziness. The differences of vHIT results between these two groups were analyzed. Result:①The vHIT results in control group were normal. In all BPVC subjects, abnormalities were detected in 9 patients (25.0%),including vHIT gains decline in 3 patients, abnormal symmetry in 4 patients, and abnormal isolated overt saccades in 2 patients.②The average saccadic gain in different canals of BPVC group was 1.03±0.14, 1.01±0.15, 1.13±0.31, 1.18±0.36, 1.21±0.33, 1.14±0.30 in left horizontal, right horizontal, left anterior, right posterior, right anterior, left posterior canal, respectively; while in normal group, it was 1.14±0.15, 1.18±0.09, 1.16±0.30, 1.18±0.40, 1.34±0.26, 1.30±0.20, respectively. Significant statistical difference was found only in horizontal canals between these two groups (P<0.05). ③Asymmetry of the three pairs of conjugated semicircular canals was 0.04±0.07 (horizontal canal), 0.06±0.04 (left anterior and right posterior canal), 0.06±0.04 (right anterior and left posterior canal) in BPVC group, respectively; while in control group, it was 0.02±0.02, 0.04±0.03, 0.04±0.04,respectively. There was no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion:A certain proportion of abnormal peripheral vestibule function in children with BPVC was found. vHIT is a "child friendly," relatively easytouse, and simple tool to evaluate each of the 6 semicircular canals, which may offer some potential clinical information for assessing the vestibule dysfunction for BPVC.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the incidence and influencing factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after lung transplantation. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 375 lung transplant patients from January 2015 to December 2017 in Wuxi People's Hospital. Every patient was classified into the VTE group or the non-VTE group according to whether the patient had VTE or not. Basic information like age, type of surgical procedure etc. was compared between two groups. The prevention and treatment of VTE between two groups were also compared. Furthermore, multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influence of related factors on the occurrence of postoperative VTE. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) was diagnosed with vascular ultrasonography, and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) was diagnosed with CT pulmonary angiogram, nuclear ventilation/perfusion scanning, or pulmonary angiography. Results: This study included 316 lung transplant patients. VTE occurred in 19 patients (6.0%) during perioperative and follow-up period. The age of the VTE group was significantly higher than that of the non-VTE group (63.4±11.9 vs 54.3±13.0, P=0.003). The proportion of single lung transplantation in the VTE group was significantly higher than that in the non-VTE group (78.9% vs 48.5%, P=0.010). The incidence of VTE in patients without prevention was significantly higher than that in patients with prevention (15.0% vs 1.9%, P<0.001). Single lung transplantation (OR=4.425, P=0.018), duration in intensive care unit (ICU) (OR=1.396, P=0.001) and age (OR=1.080, P=0.005) were independent risk factors for VTE after lung transplantation. Conclusions: The incidence of VTE after lung transplantation is high. Single lung transplantation, prolonged duration of ICU stay and advanced age increase the risk of VTE after lung transplantation.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the benefit of using transmastoid slotted labyrinthotomy approach (TSLA) and customized electrode for common cavity deformity (CCD) patients, and to evaluate the audiological outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the intraoperative monitoring data and postoperative auditory outcomes of 10 CCD cases who received cochlear implantation in Beijing Tongren Hospital,Capital Medical University from April 2016 to December 2017, was conducted using TSLA and customized electrod as a test group.At the same time, 10 cases of age and gender matched children with severe or severe sensorineural hearing loss and normal inner ear structures were recorded as a control group. Four questionnaires were collected from the two groupspre-operative, 6 months and 1 year after start-up. The Wilcoxon signed rank sum test was used to compare the scores of different time points. Rank sum test of two independent samples was used to compare the scores between different groups. Results: None of the patients exhibited CSF leakage or facial paralysis after operation. The average impedance of 8 CCD children in the experimental group was below 5 kΩ. The total extraction rate of auditory neural response telemetry (ART) of all stimulating electrodes was 55% (33/60), and the amplitude of the electricity induced complex action potential (ECAP) of electrodes at different positions ranged from 50.69 to 170.3 μV.The average surgical time of the TSLA group was 46.4 min, shorter than the traditional approach.There was significant difference between the scores of pre-operative, 6 months and 1 year after start-up for the TSLA group(categories of auditory performance,CAP: 2.0 (2.0,3.0) vs. 4.0 (3.8,4.0) , Z=-3.109, P=0.002; speech intelligibility rating,SIR: 2.0 (2.0,2.3) vs. 3.0 (2.8,4.0) , Z=-2.952, P=0.003; meaningful use of speech scale,MUSS: 4.0 (3.3,6.0) vs. 9.0 (6.0,11.8) , Z=-3.421, P=0.001; meaningful auditory integration scale, MAIS or infant-toddler and meaningful auditory integration scale, IT-MAIS: 5.5 (3.8,9.0) vs. 15.5 (10.8,18.5) , Z=-3.522, P=0.000 for the latter two).In addition, The scores of the TSLA group were significantly worse than the control group at 6 months and 1 year after start-up.The high-resolution CT scan showed good adhesion of the electrodes without displacementone week and one year after surgery. Conclusions: For CCD patients, TSLA and customized electrode is recommended due to lower surgical difficulty and post-operative risk, shortened surgical time; Intraoperative ART monitoring can be used to determine the integrity of the auditory pathway. Children with common cavity deformity have a longer period of auditory rehabilitation, and the individual differences in speech rehabilitation are significantly different, which is significantly worse than those with normal structure.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the previous cesarean scar thickness, previous cesarean scar defect and the occurrence of uterine rupture for pregnancy women after previous cesarean section and to predict the occurrence of uterine rupture in the third trimester for pregnancy women after previous cesarean section by analyzing the lower uterine segment (LUS) situation or quantitatively measure LUS myometrium thickness. Methods: A total of 154 pregnant women who have a prior cesarean from January 2015 to March 2016 were selected, all of them regularly did the prenatal examination in the pregnancy period and finally gave birth in hospital. By the transvaginal sonograph, the LUS myometrium thickness (transverse and longitudinal thickness) and the size of the previous cesarean scar defect were measured in the first trimester, the LUS myometrium thickness (longitudinal thickness) and qualitatively analysis LUS condition were measured in the third trimester. They were divided into two groups according to the pregnancy outcome: uterine rupture group (found in the cesarean operation or during the pregnancy) and without uterine rupture group (including the vaginal delivery women and those without uterine rupture in the cesarean operation period). The sensitivity and specificity of LUS myometrium thickness in the first trimester and the qualitative analysis LUS situation, the quantitative measurement of LUS myometrium thickness in the third trimester were compared in the prediction of occurrence of uterine rupture (dehiscence or complete rupture). Results: The group without uterine rupture included 134 women (6 vaginal delivery and 128 cesarean delivery), and the group with uterine rupture included 20 women (all of them cesarean delivery). The LUS myometrium thickness in the third trimester in the group without uterine rupture was (1.6±0.5) mm, and was (1.1±0.7) mm in the uterine rupture group (P= 0.004). There were no significant difference between two groups in the mean value of age, height, weight, the interdelivery interval, the LUS myometrium thickness (transverse and longitudinal thickness) in the first trimester. Qualitative analysis of LUS condition had higher specificity (99%), higher positive predictive value (92%), higher negative predictive value (94%) and slightly lower sensitivity (60%) than quantitative measure of LUS myometrium thickness in predicting uterine rupture. Conclusions: Measurement of the LUS myometrium thickness in the first trimester is helpful for predicting the occurrence of uterine rupture, so it is not necessary to terminate the pregnancy because of the thin LUS or the little prior cesarean scar defect in the first trimester. However it should be paid close attention to the LUS situation during the whole gestation. Qualitatively analyzing LUS situation is more meaningful than quantitatively measuring LUS myometrium thickness in predicting the uterine rupture in the third trimester.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of trabeculectomy combined with a new prophylactic sclerotomy in late stage juvenile open angle glaucoma (JOAG) and primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) patients at high risks of intraoperative and postoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH). Method: A retrospective case series study. Thirty-three eyes of 28 JOAG patients and 15 eyes of 12 PCG patients with high risk factors for severe choroidal effusion or SCH were enrolled from November 2006 to April 2012 at Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University. The standard trabeculectomy accompanied by prophylactic sclerotomy was performed (video attached). Ophthalmic examinations were performed before and after the surgery. Surgical outcome was assessed in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity, optic nerve head cup disc ratio, visual field, and complications. All patients were followed up for at least 1 year. Complete success was defined as an IOP ≥6 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) but ≤18 mmHg without medication. Qualified success was defined as an IOP ≥6 mmHg but ≤18 mmHg with local application of medications. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were drawn for the success rate calculation. Results: The mean age of all 40 patients was (13.2±9.4) years old. And among them, 22 patients were male and 18 patients were female. The mean follow-up time was (31.8±15.9) months. At the postoperative 3(rd) year, the complete success rate was 75.8%, and the qualified success rate was 90.0%. In our case series, one eye had expulsive SCH intraoperatively and two eyes had delayed SCH postoperatively. All of them were successfully saved without further surgery and with no significant damage to visual function. Conclusion: Trabeculectomy combined with prophylactic sclerotomy is a promising technique developed to control IOP in late stage JOAG and PCG patients, which provides a potential intervention to reduce severe consequences of massive choroidal effusion or SCH.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of de novo combination of Lamivudine(LAM) and Adefovir Dipivoxil (ADV) therapy counter to Entecavir (ETV) monotherapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB)- related compensated liver cirrhosis. Methods: Patients with chronic hepatitis B-related compensated cirrhosis who were initially treated with LAM and ADV for more than 1 year were randomly assigned to two groups, one half replaced with ETV monotherapy, and the other half continued LAM and ADV co-therapy. Liver biochemistry, renal biochemistry, estimated glomerular filtration rate, alpha-fetoprotein, HBV serology markers and serum HBV DNA were measured every 3 months. Urine β2-microglobulin was measured every 6 months And retinol binding protein, followed up for 3 years. The mean values of the two groups were compared with t-test, and the rate of comparison was analyzed by x2 test. Results: A total of 580 cases were collected, 290 cases were replaced with ETV monotherapy, the other 290 patients continued to LAM and ADV combination therapy. In the ETV group, the rates of HBV DNA negative conversion at 1 year, 2 years and 3 years were 77.6%, 84.5% and 94.5% respectively, while the HBV DNA negative conversion rates at 1, 2 and 3 years in the LAM and ADV combination groups were 69.3%, 73.4% and 80.3% respectively. Among them, the negative rates of HBV DNA in the second year and the third year were P < 0.05, the difference was statistically significant. The 3-year cumulative gene-resistant rate in the ETV group was 1.4%, while the combined treatment was as high as 8.6%, and the difference was statistically significant in the two groups. The estimated value of serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate in ETV group was followed by 3 years, and the baseline level was maintained, in the same group, the serum creatinine was higher than baseline, and the estimated value of glomerular filtration rate decreased. The results showed that there were 6.2%, 12.1%, 22.1% and 0, 0.3%, 1%, respectively, in 1, 2 and 3 years for the group of consecutive treatment and the replacement of ETV Group. The estimated glomerular filtration rate decreased by more than 30% compared with the baseline. The difference was statistically significant; the proportion of serum creatinine in the 1 year, 2 years and 3 years of the combined treatment group was 1.7%, 4.5% and 6.6%, compared with the baseline rise of > 50 μmol/l, and the ETV group was replaced in the 1 year, The values of 2 and 3 years were 0,0,0.7%, of which the 2nd and 3rd years were statistically significant; the proportion of microalbuminuria and retinol-binding protein in patients with combined treatment group was also significantly higher than that of Β2-m ETV Group. Conclusion: The initial combination of LAM and ADV therapy is inferior in terms of ETV monotherapy. Single therapy with ETV increase the rate of viral response, reduce the incidence of drug resistance, and also reduce the incidence of renal impairment in patients with chronic hepatitis B -related compensated liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of neutrophil elastase inhibitor, sivelestat, in preventing and treating nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and its underling mechanisms. Methods: A total of forty 4-week-old male C57BL/6J ApoE-/-mice were equally divided into the following four groups: standard chow (SC)+isotonic saline; SC+sivelestat; high-fat, high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet+isotonic saline; and HFHC+sivelestat. These mice were treated with above methods for 12 weeks. Blood and liver tissue samples were collected to measure biochemical parameters, hepatic steatosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (inflammation) were evaluated by oil red O staining and HE staining, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression levels of hepatic inflammatory cytokines, CD68, and F4/80 were determined by quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Comparison of means between the four groups was made by one-way analysis of variance, and comparison between any two groups was made by the LSD or SNK method (for data with homogeneity of variance) or the Tamhane or Dunnett method (for data with heterogeneity of variance). Results: Mice fed with an HFHC diet for 12 weeks developed typical pathological features of NASH compared with those fed with SC. Compared with mice fed with HFHC diet without sivelestat, those treated with HFHC and sivelestat exhibited the following features: (1) significantly reduced fast blood glucose, blood cholesterol, and hepatic biochemical parameters, as well as increased insulin sensitivity; (2) significantly reduced NAFLD activity score (5.71±1.11 vs 3.16±1.16, P < 0.05); (3) reduced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and tumor necrosis factor -α; (4) significantly reduced mRNA levels of CD68 and F4/80; and (5) reduced expression of CD68 in the liver. Conclusion: Sivelestat alleviates the hepatic steatosis and inflammation of NASH in mice by inhibiting the activation of Kupffer cells.
