ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the risk factors for myocardial injury in esophagogastric variceal bleeding(EGVB)patients with liver cirrhosis during hospitalization.Methods A case-control trial was conducted on 235 EGVB patients admitted to our hospital between May 2021 and July 2022.Their basic information,laboratory results and relevant data during hospitalization were collected.According to their myocardial enzyme profiles during hospitalization,they were divided into myocardial injury group(n=46)and non-myocardial injury group(n=189).Univariate regression analysis and clinical correlation analysis were used to preliminarily screen the risk factors for myocardial injury secondary to EGVB caused by liver cirrhosis.Then,multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to further screen the risk factors.A nomogram was constructed based on the selected risk factors and the occurrence of myocardial injury.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to analyze the independent predictive value of these factors alone or combined together.Calibration curve analysis and internal verification were utilized to evaluate the predictive performance of the nomogram model.Subgroup verification was performed in the myocardial infarction group.Results Univariate analysis revealed that statistical differences were observed in age,sex,hypertension,renal disease,underlying diseases,vomiting,leukocytosis,increased alanine aminotransferase(ALT)or aspartate aminotransferase(AST),albumin,red blood cell hematocrit(HCT),international normalized ratio(INR),endoscopy within 6 h after admission,and Child-Pugh(CP)class between the myocardial injury group and the non-myocardial injury group(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age(P=0.014,OR=1.153,95％CI:1.030～1.291),underlying diseases(P=0.005,OR=1.122,95％CI:1.032～2.437),and albumin(P=0.012,OR=0.449,95％CI:0.241～0.837)were independent risk factors for inhospital myocardial injury in EGVB patients with liver cirrhosis.The AUC value of the above indicators combined together for predicting myocardial injury was 0.902.Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve analysis indicated that the nomogram had good prediction consistency(Chi-square=12.88,P=0.615).Internal verification correctly distinguished 86.4％of verification objects.Subgroup analysis of myocardial injury patients showed that albumin was also an independent risk factor for in-hospital myocardial injury in this population(AUC=0.80).Conclusion Age,underlying diseases,and albumin level are independent risk factors for in-hospital myocardial injury in EGVB patients with liver cirrhosis.Albumin level can be used as an independent risk factor for predicting myocardial infarction.Combination of the above 3 indicators has a high diagnostic value in early identification and prevention of myocardial injury in this patient population.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT This study aimed to explore the effects of two siderophore-producing bacterial strains on iron absorption and plant growth of peanut in calcareous soil. Two siderophore-producing bacterial strains, namely, YZ29 and DZ13, isolated from the rhizosphere soil of peanut, were identified as Paenibacillus illinoisensis and Bacillus sp., respectively. In potted experiments, YZ29 and DZ13 enhanced root activity, chlorophyll and active iron content in leaves, total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium accumulation of plants and increased the quality of peanut kernels and plant biomass over control. In the field trial, the inoculated treatments performed better than the controls, and the pod yields of the three treatments inoculated with YZ29, DZ13, and YZ29 + DZ13 (1:1) increased by 37.05%, 13.80% and 13.57%, respectively, compared with the control. Based on terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, YZ29 and DZ13 improved the bacterial community richness and species diversity of soil surrounding the peanut roots. Therefore, YZ29 and DZ13 can be used as candidate bacterial strains to relieve chlorosis of peanut and promote peanut growth. The present study is the first to explore the effect of siderophores produced by P. illinoisensis on iron absorption.
