Objective:To explore the effectiveness and complications of non-incision removal of tunneled cuffed catheter (TCC).Methods:The clinical characteristics, surgical plans and complications of patients with TCC removal in the Renal Division of Peking University First Hospital from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into non-incision removal group and traditional incision removal group. The clinical characteristics, procedure success rate, procedural duration and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 349 patients were included in this study, for whom 368 catheter removal procedures were performed, including 286 procedures in the non-incision removal group, 75 procedures in the traditional incision removal group, and 7 procedures without records of surgical plans. There was no significant difference in age, sex, basic kidney diseases and catheter remaining time and location between the two groups (all P>0.05). Two procedures in the non-incision removal group and 1 procedure in the traditional incision removal group failed respectively, and there was no significant difference in the procedure success rate between the two groups (99.3% vs 98.7%, χ2=0.290, P=0.590). The procedural duration in the non-incision removal group was lower than that in the traditional incision removal group [(5.36±1.70) min vs (17.55±3.28) min, t=44.198, P<0.001]. Among the patients who needed TCC exchange, there was no significant difference in the selection of new catheter position between the two groups ( P=0.330). In terms of complications, there were 2 procedures of local hematoma in the non-incision removal group and 1 procedure of infection in the traditional incision removal group, and there was no severe complication in both groups. Conclusions:There was no significant difference in the procedural success rate and complications between non-incision removal group and traditional incision removal group, and non-incision procedure may be superior in reducing the procedure duration and harm less to the patients. Non-incision procedure is a safe and effective method to remove TCC.

Objective To research high efficiency ,safety and complications of transbronchial needle aspiration biopsy under the guidance of ultrasound bronchoscope (EBUS‐TBNA ) in the early stage diagnosis of pulmonary disease .Methods Totally 28 patients showed intrathoracic mass or mediastinal lymph nodes by chest CT treated from May 2013 to May 2014 underwent EBUS‐TBNA ,and conducted biopsy for pathological examination .Results Among all the 28 patients ,23 patients underwent EBUS‐ TB‐NA ,10 patients were diagnosed as lung cancer ,4 patients had metastatic tumors ,3 patients were diagnosed lymphoma ,3 people were tuberculosis ,2 people were sarcoidosis ,1 patients with inflammatory .The EBUS‐TBNA diagnosis rate of malignant tumor was 74 .0% ,and the diagnosis rate was significantly higher than expectation (53 .2% ,P<0 .01) .The accuracy of EBUS‐TBNA diagno‐sis was as follow :91 .0% for lung cancer ,100 .0% for lymphoma ,75 .0% for metastatic tumor;75 .0% for tuberculosis ,50 .0% for sarcoidosis ,and 100 .0% for inflammatory lesions .Among all EBUS‐TBNA patients ,only two patients had mild hypoxia and one patient had bleeding .Conclusion EBUS‐TBNA was an effective ,minimally invasive ,safe means of inspection for the early diagnosis of respiratory diseases ,especially of mediastinal mass .

Objective To investigate the blood pressure circadian rhythm in patients with IgA nephropathy by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and explore its role in the disease progression. Methods A cross sectional study was carried out.Blood pressure rhythm was studied by ambulatory 24-hour monitoring with a portable oscillometric recorder in selected patients with primary IgA nephropathy.The term dipper was described as blood pressure during night dropped at least 10％ below daytime blood pressure.The term non-dipper referred to those in whom the nocturnal decline in blood pressure was less than 10％.Clinicopathological indices between dipper and non-dipper groups were compared. Results Ninety-three patients completed ambulatory blood pressure monitoring among whom 68 (73％) patients were non-dipper.The frequency of non-dipper was 70％,70％ and 81％ in the patients at chronic kidney disease stage 1,2 and 3 or more.The frequency did not differ among these three group patients (P=-0.587).77％ of patients with hypertension and 69％ of patients with normotension were non-dipper (P=0.373).The disappearance of blood pressure circadian rhythm in IgA nephropathy was not influenced by age,gender,blood pressure,proteinuria,renal function and renal pathology lesions.Among the patients who were followed up regularly for more than 12 months (n=54),patients in the dipper group had a trend of slower eGFR decline rate than those in non-dipper group albeit the difference was not significant (P=0.329).Subgroup analysis revealed that in patients with hypertension and non-dipper (n=29),the eGFR decline rate was much faster than that in dipper group[(-6.79±11.58 )vs (-0.34±1.74) ml ·min-1 ·(1.73 m2)-1·year-1,P=0.019]. Conclusions Most patients with IgA nephropathy present disappearance of blood pressure circadian rhythm,even among those at an early stage or without hypertension.The loss of blood pressure rhythm may be associated with a rapid renal function decline rate in those with hypertension.
