RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the risk factors of major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE30) in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 162 patients who were first diagnosed with AP in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June 2019 to June 2021 and the onset time was less than 72 hours were enrolled. Patients were divided into MAKE30 group and non-MAKE30 group according to the occurrence of MAKE30 after hospitalization. MAKE30 was defined as death from any cause, new renal replacement therapy (RRT), and persistent renal insufficiency (PRD). The clinical data of the two groups at admission were compared. The independent risk factors of MAKE30 were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression method, and a regression equation was established as a quantitative prediction model of MAKE30. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to analyze the prediction of the quantitative prediction model value.Results:All 162 patients were included in the final analysis, including 32 in the MAKE30 group and 130 in the non-MAKE30 group. Univariate analysis showed that compared with the non-MAKE30 group, the body mass index (BMI), the proportion of severe AP, and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), C-reactive protein (CRP), HCO 3-, Cl - levels and the proportion of hyperchloremia at admission in the MAKE30 group were significantly increased. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE Ⅱ score at admission [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.659, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.426-1.956, P = 0.009], SOFA score ( OR = 1.501, 95% CI was 1.236-1.840, P = 0.014) and hyperchloremia ( OR = 1.858, 95% CI was 1.564-2.231, P = 0.004) were independent risk factors for MAKE30 in AP patients. The MAKE30 regression equation was established by the above risk factors [Logit( P) = 0.063+0.525×APACHEⅡ score+0.328×SOFA score+0.895×hyperchloremia], which was used as the MAKE30 quantitative prediction model. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the model for predicting MAKE30 was 0.846 (95% CI was 0.774-0.923, P = 0.001). The patients were divided into two subgroups with hyperchloremia (Cl -≥110 mmol/L, n = 19) and non-hyperchloremia (Cl - < 110 mmol/L, n = 143) according to the blood Cl - level at admission. The incidence of MAKE30 and acute kidney injury (AKI) in the hyperchloremia group was significantly increased (MAKE30: 68.4% vs. 13.3%, AKI: 89.5% vs. 43.4%), and the levels of BUN and SCr at admission were significantly increased [BUN (mmol/L): 9.3±2.5 vs. 5.9±1.1, SCr (μmol/L): 162.3±26.4 vs. 78.6±9.2], the total length of hospital stay and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay were significantly longer [total length of hospital stay (days): 10.2±1.6 vs. 5.6±1.2, length of ICU stay (days): 6.2±1.0 vs. 3.1±0.6], the cumulative intravenous infusion volume increased significantly at 48 hours and 72 hours (mL: 7 235.9±1 025.3 vs. 5 659.6±956.7 at 48 hours, 11 052.6±1 659.8 vs. 7 156.9±1 052.4 at 72 hours), differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Conclusions:MAKE30 can be used as an important indicator to evaluate the short-term clinical prognosis of AP patients. APACHEⅡ score, SOFA score and hyperchloremia at admission are the main risk factors. The risk model of MAKE30 based on these three indicators has good predictive performance. AP patients with hyperchloremia are at high risk of developing MAKE30, which should be highly regarded in clinical practice.
RESUMO
Background@#and Purpose Recent studies suggested an increased incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We evaluated the volume of CVT hospitalization and in-hospital mortality during the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the preceding year. @*Methods@#We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective study of 171 stroke centers from 49 countries. We recorded COVID-19 admission volumes, CVT hospitalization, and CVT in-hospital mortality from January 1, 2019, to May 31, 2021. CVT diagnoses were identified by International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) codes or stroke databases. We additionally sought to compare the same metrics in the first 5 months of 2021 compared to the corresponding months in 2019 and 2020 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04934020). @*Results@#There were 2,313 CVT admissions across the 1-year pre-pandemic (2019) and pandemic year (2020); no differences in CVT volume or CVT mortality were observed. During the first 5 months of 2021, there was an increase in CVT volumes compared to 2019 (27.5%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 24.2 to 32.0; P<0.0001) and 2020 (41.4%; 95% CI, 37.0 to 46.0; P<0.0001). A COVID-19 diagnosis was present in 7.6% (132/1,738) of CVT hospitalizations. CVT was present in 0.04% (103/292,080) of COVID-19 hospitalizations. During the first pandemic year, CVT mortality was higher in patients who were COVID positive compared to COVID negative patients (8/53 [15.0%] vs. 41/910 [4.5%], P=0.004). There was an increase in CVT mortality during the first 5 months of pandemic years 2020 and 2021 compared to the first 5 months of the pre-pandemic year 2019 (2019 vs. 2020: 2.26% vs. 4.74%, P=0.05; 2019 vs. 2021: 2.26% vs. 4.99%, P=0.03). In the first 5 months of 2021, there were 26 cases of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), resulting in six deaths. @*Conclusions@#During the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic, CVT hospitalization volume and CVT in-hospital mortality did not change compared to the prior year. COVID-19 diagnosis was associated with higher CVT in-hospital mortality. During the first 5 months of 2021, there was an increase in CVT hospitalization volume and increase in CVT-related mortality, partially attributable to VITT.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the risk factors and interventions for surgical failure of spinal tuberculosis (STB).Methods:A total of 317 STB patients aged from 11 to 86 years with an average age of 53.5±16.7 years, who received debridement and fusion with bone grafting from January 2013 to December 2019, were retrospectively analyzed, including 206 males and 111 females. The follow-up duration was at least 1 year. During the follow-up, any one of the following 1)-3) was defined as surgical failure, namely 1) the same tubercular lesion treated by surgery more than 2 times, 2) the number of unplanned readmissions related to tubercular lesion≥1, 3) drug-resistant STB or delayed healing, recurrent lesion with cold abscess/sinus tract, combined with other bacterial infection, or loosening of internal fixation. The other cases were regarded as "curative" cases. Patients' symptoms, medication history, auxiliary examination and surgical plan were collected for univariate analysis. Further, the potential risk factors for surgical failure were analyzed by binary Logistic regression. Failed cases were treated with etiological intervention, such as puncture pumping pus or debridement or revision. The necrosis or granulation tissue was collected and further detected by tuberculosis culture, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).Results:There were 27 cases with surgical failure. Abscess or sinus tract formation was developed in 17 cases, which accounted for 63% (17/27). Among these patients, there were 3 cases of resistance to isoniazid or rifampicin and 2 cases of resistance to isoniazid and rifampicin (multidrug resistance, MDR). Seventeen cases were treated by anti-tuberculosis treatment, while 14 cases by puncture drainage (or puncture catheter irrigation) and 3 cases by debridement and suturing. Seven cases with wound infection or poor healing accounted for 26% (7/27). Among them, 5 kinds of pathogens were detected, none of which showed tuberculosis drug resistance. All of them were treated by anti-infection and debridement suturing, while 2 of them were treated with internal fixation removal. Three cases (11%, 3/27) with internal fixation loosening were treated by revision surgery. There was statistically significant difference between the failed group and the cured group in involved multi-/jumping segment, history of type 2 diabetes, a history of more than three basic diseases, CRP at one week after surgery, WBC at one week after surgery, time of first dose, operation duration and intraoperative blood loss ( P<0.10). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that multi-/jumping segment ( OR= 3.513, P=0.047), CRP at one week after surgery ( OR=1.021, P=0.005), first dose time ≥20 weeks ( OR=2.895, P=0.039), blood loss ≥800 ml ( OR=5.950, P=0.001) and more than three basic diseases involved ( OR=3.671, P=0.027) were independent risk factors for surgical failure. Conclusion:Early diagnosis, especially the diagnosis of drug-resistant STB and standardized anti-tubercular treatment, should be carried out effectively. Puncture and drainage of abscess is an effective therapy to treat the cases with abscess/sinus tract formation. Some cases involved multi-/jumping segments could be with higher risk of failure after internal fixation. Thus, they should be treated individually with emphasis on the segmental stability reconstruction.
RESUMO
New approaches to complement vaccination are needed to combat the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and stop COVID-19 related deaths and long-term medical complications. Human beta defensin 2 (hBD-2) is a naturally occurring epithelial cell derived host defense peptide that has antiviral properties. Our comprehensive in-silico studies demonstrate that hBD-2 binds the site on the CoV-2-RBD that docks with the ACE2 receptor. Biophysical and biochemical assays confirm that hBD-2 indeed binds to the CoV-2-receptor binding domain (RBD) (KD [~] 300 nM), preventing it from binding to ACE2 expressing cells. Importantly, hBD-2 shows specificity by blocking CoV-2/spike pseudoviral infection, but not VSV-G mediated infection, of ACE2 expressing human cells with an IC50 of 2.4{+/-} 0.1 M. These promising findings offer opportunities to develop hBD-2 and/or its derivatives and mimetics to safely and effectively use as novel agents to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection.

RESUMO
Objective:To detect the expressions of ovarian function-related proteins in the ovarian follicles in different development stages,and to explore their roles and significances in the regulation of follicular development and ovarian function. Methods:The ovarian tissue containing primordial,primary,secondary follicles,mature follicles, atretic follicles and corpus albicans of the woman in the childbearing age was selected. Immunohisto chemical analysis was used to detect the expressions of Glyoxal enzyme I (glyoxalase I),ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1),heat shock protein 27 (HSP27),serum amyloid P (SAP)proteins in the ovarian follicles in different stages.The expression intensities of these proteins were compared.Results:The expression intensities of Glyoxalase I and UCH-L1 in the granulosa cells and theca cells of secondary follicles and marure follicles were strong,which were higher than those in the cytoplasm of primordial and primary follicles.The expression intensities of HSP27 in the cytoplasm of primordial and primary follicles were strong,which were higher than those in the granulosa cells and theca cells of secondary follicles and marure follicles.The expression intensities of Glyoxalase I and HSP27 in the atretic follicles were strong,which were higher than that in the growth follicles. The expressions of SAP were positive in the primordial,primary follicles,secondary and mature follicles and the expression intensities were not different.The expressions of four proteins in the corpus albicans did not express. Conclusion:The high expression of UCH-L1 and low expression of HSP27 are associated with the mature and development of follicles;the high expressions of Glyoxalase I and HSP27 are associated with the follicular atresia and ovarian failure.
RESUMO
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-cell communication mechanism that allows bacterial populations to coordinate gene expression in response to cell density. N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) are used as quorum-sensing signal molecules by many Gram negative bacteria. Acinetobacter sp. 77, an AHL-degrading bacterium, was isolated in our previous work. The gene aidE for AHL inactivation was cloned in this study by screening a genomic DNA library. The deduced protein AidE is 268 amino acids in length and shares a high identity (95%) with the beta-lactamase family protein in Acinetobacter gyllenbergii CIP110306, but low identities with known AHL-degrading enzymes. HPLC analysis of the AidE-degraded C6-HSL products revealed that AidE functioned as an AHL lactonase. Sequences alignment suggested that the aidE gene is not conserved in Acinetobacter species, flanking sequences of aidE and their arrangement are specific in Acinetobacter sp. 77 genome, and some IS insertion sequences were found downstream of the aidE gene. These evidences indicated that the aidE gene might be foreign DNA taken up via horizontal gene transferring or had changed its relative location due to the genome rear-arrangement. Expression of the aidE gene in Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum Z3-3 significantly reduced its AHL production as well as the pathogenicity on host plants, indicating that AidE was able to effectively quench quorum sensing-dependent functions in bacteria. In conclusion, aidE is a newfound AHL-lactonase with a potential for suppression of bacterial infections.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and analyze the causes of misdiagnosis.Methods The clinical data of patients aged 60 years and over with TBM in Beijing Chest Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2011 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical characteristics of the elderly patients with TBM were analyzed and compared between misdiagnosis and non-misdiagnosis groups.Results Among 60 elderly patients with TBM,32 cases (53.3%) were misdiagnosed before hospitalization.Among 32 misdiagnosed cases,11 (34.4%) were misdiagnosed as pulmonary infection,6 (18.8%) as infectious diseases with unspecified site,4(12.5%) as upper respiratory tract infections and 3 (9.4%) as cerebral vascular diseases,and so on.The onset time of TBM,fever prevalence and CSF glucose levels were 42.5 (20.3,60.0) d,96.9% (31 cases),1.5(1.1,2.3)mmol/L in misdiagnosis group respectively,and 15.0 (10.0,20.0) d,75.0%(21 cases),2.3(1.4,3.2)mmol/L in non-misdiagnosis group respectively,which was statistically significantly different between the two groups (all P 0.05).Conclusions Elderly patients with TBM have atypical clinical manifestations,many comorbidities,and less specific imaging,and especially,the cerebrospinal fluid pathogen sensitivity is low,which may result in higher misdiagnosis rate.

RESUMO
Objective Using Doppler ultrasound measured in femoral artery flow velocity variation rate method to predict fluid responsiveness.Methods 80 patients were measured femoral artery flow velocity variation rate (△Vpeak)by mastering the ultrasound skills of the attending physician.Passive leg raising test (PLR)stroke vol-ume variation (△SV)was used to analyze the peak value of the femoral artery flow velocity,rate of femoral artery peak velocity of respiratory changes,and the results were compared with results of PICCO monitoring to predict patients with their response to the treatment capacity,to evaluate clinical feasibility.Results Reactive groups in the PLR test before the experiment and hemodynamic changes:PLR test reaction group in before the test and test process, HR,MAP,CAP index changes were not obvious (P >0.05),but ultrasonic detection and PICCO detection showed SV and CO varied significantly (t =15.24,P =0.00;t =13.64,P =0.00),the two kinds of methods to forecast results was consistent.In the absence of the anti should patients in PLR test before the experiment and hemodynamic chan-ges:PLR test unreacted group in before the test and test process,HR,MAP,CAP,SV and CO index change were not obvious (all P >0.05).Conclusion By ultrasonic method for measuring femoral artery flow speed variation rate can exactly evaluate the capacity status of critically ill patients,and effectively predict fluid responsiveness,the prediction results and PICOO monitoring results are highly consistent.It is a safe and efficient prediction method,which is worthy of promotion in clinical intensive observation.
RESUMO
AIM:To investigate whether minocycline postconditioning protects rat myocardium from ischemia-reperfusion ( I/R ) injury through attenuating poly ( ADP-ribose ) polymerase-1 ( PARP-1 ) excessive activation. METHODS:The left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated for 45 min and then reopened for 2 h to establish the rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.The male Wistar rats ( n =90 ) were randomly divided into sham group, I/R group, low-and high-dose minocycline groups, and 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB, PARP inhibitor) group.The myocardial infarct size was measured by Evans blue and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride ( TTC) staining.The morpho-logical changes of the myocardium were observed with HE staining.The cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected using in situ TDT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling ( TUNEL) .The level of tumor necrosis factorα( TNF-α) and interleukin 1β( IL-1β) in the serum were measured by ELISA.The content of poly( ADP-ribose) ( PAR) in the reperfused myocardium and peripheral leukocytes were detected by Western blot.RESULTS: Compared with sham group, PAR expression, TNF-αcontent and IL-1βconcentration increased in all other groups.Compared with I/R group, treatment with low and high doses of minocycline and 3-AB significantly reduced the infarct size and myocardial apoptosis.PAR expression, TNF-αcontent and IL-1βconcentration in low-and high-dose minocycline groups and 3-AB group all decreased.No significant difference of the above parameters between high-dose minocycline group and 3-AB group was observed.CONCLUSION: Minocy-cline postconditioning may attenuate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by depressing the activation of PARP-1 in car-diomyocytes and peripheral leukocytes in rats.
