Objective To explore the correlative factors of sudden death in patients suspected with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in emergency room (ER).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted.The clinical data of 12 patients with sudden death suspected with PTE (sudden death group) in ER of the Air Force General Hospital from January 2011 to June 2014 were analyzed.The non-sudden death group included 35 patients during the same time period who were diagnosed with PTE based on findings of CT pulmonary arteriography (CTPA) and showed no sudden death in ER.Factors,including sex,age,previous operation,tumor,syncope,dyspnea,bilateral or unilateral edema of lower extremity,heart rate (HR),white blood cell count (WBC),D-dimer,arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2),arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and typical clinical manifestation of electrocardiogram (SⅠTⅢQⅢ),were compared between the two groups.The potential predictors of sudden death of PTE were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.Results Young age (years old:51.3±15.5 vs.62.3±14.4),lower PaO2 [mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa):49.9± 12.3 vs.62.7± 10.2],higher HR (bpm:122.0± 19.5 vs.89.1 ± 18.5) and higher WBC (× 109/L:13.8 ± 6.9 vs.7.2 ± 2.5) were found in sudden death group as compared with those in non-sudden death group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).There was no significant differences in D-dimer level and PaCO2 between sudden death group and non-sudden death group [D-dimer (pg/L):986 (891,3 230) vs.2089 (598,3 397),PaCO2 (mmHg):33.0 (28.6,43.4)vs.36.5 (32.9,41.0),both P > 0.05].The syncope,antineoplaston treatment or tumor metastasis within 6 months,operation in previous 4 months,bilateral asymmetrical edema in sudden death group were more than those of the non-sudden death group,and chest pain was less (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).Difference in gender,dyspnea and typical SⅠTⅢQⅢ in electrocardiogram were not significant between the two groups (all P > 0.05).It was shown by multiple logistic regression analysis that higher HR [odds ratio (OR) =1.124,95% confidence interval (95%CI) =1.024-1.235,P =0.014] and higher WBC (OR =1.347,95%CI =1.043-1.738,P =0.022) were identified as independent risk factors of sudden death for PTE.Conclusions Gender,dyspnea,typical S Ⅰ TⅢQⅢ in electrocardiogram,PaCO2 and D-dimer seem unrelated to sudden death of patients with PTE.Young age,chest pain,syncope,bilateral asymmetrical edema,antineoplaston treatment or tumor metastasis within 6 months,operation in previous 4 months and low PaO2 were potential predictors of sudden death according to the univariate analysis.Higher WBC and higher HR are independent risk factors of sudden death for PTE patients.

Objective To calculate the residoal liver volume using a virtaal liver surgery planning system,and to investigate the value of standardized estimated liver remnant volume ratio (STELR) in prcdicting hepatic dysfunction after hepatectomy.MethodsThe clinical data of 76 patients with primary liver cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from April 2007 to October 2011 were retrospectivcly analyzed.The virtual resection and residual liver volume measurements were carried out using Liv 1.0 software.The value of STELR in predicting hepatic dysfunction was assessed using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.Effects of different risk factors on postoperative hepatic dysfunction were analyzed using univariate analysis of variance and multivariate Logistic regression models. Results The mean residual liver volumes predicted by the software and resected during operation were (489 ± 206)ml and (459 ± 199 )ml,respectively,with a positive correlation between predicted and actual resection volumes (r =0.916,P < 0.05).Of the 76 patients,48 had mild hepatic dysfunction,19 had moderate hepatic dysfunction and 9 had severe hepatic dysfunction.A critical STELR of 53% was associated with severe hepatic dysfunction.Severe hepatic dysfunction was detected in 2 out of 59 (3%) patients with STELR ≥ 53% and 7 out of 17 (41%) patients with STELR < 53%,which represented a significant difference ( x2 =5.085,P < 0.05 ).The result of univariate analysis revealed that STEL,R,operating time,intraoperative blood loss were significant prognostic indicators for severe hepatic dysfunction ( F =7.227,8.630,13.809,P <0.05).Multivariate Logistic regession revealed that STELR was a significant independent predictor of severe hepatic dysfunction ( Wald =6.675,P < 0.05 ).Conclusion The likelihood of severe hepatic dysfunction after hepatectomy can be predicted by STELR.

Objective To investigate the relation between intrauterine growth and the development of carotid atherosclerosis in later life. Methods The intima-media thickness of carotid was measured with ultrasonography in 2036 people aged above fifty who had complete birth records, and divided into normal and abnormal group. They were asked to fill in the cardio-cerebrovascular questionnaire, and venous blood samples were taken and analysed for various biochemical parameters. The relation between carotid atherosclerosis and various parameters at birth and in adult life was assessed. Results The birthweight and head circumference in abnormal group were less than those in normal. The prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis was greatest in those weighed 2500g or less, whose risk of carotid atherosclerosis was greater than those weighed between 3000g and 3500g, after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusions Increased atherogenesis may be one independent mechanism mediating the epidemiological link between impaired fetal growth and vascular disease.

Objective:To investigate the application of local rotation flap with subcutaneous pedicle for breast conservation in central breast cancer.Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 14 patients with stage Ⅰor Ⅱ central breast cancer was performed. The local rotation flap with subcutaneous pedicle was used for breast conservation in Jiangxi Provincial Breast Specialist Hospital (Nanchang Third Hospital) from January 2017 to December 2018. The postoperative complications were recorded. One year after operation, the aesthetic result, satisfactory and comfort index were evaluated. Two years after operation, local tumor recurrence and metastasis were followed.Results:All patients were women, aged 37-75 years old with the median age as 47. First-stage healing was achieved in 12 patients. Wound infection happened in one case and necrotic in one case. They were all healed after secondary suture. Fourteen patients were followed up for 1 year, the suprasternal notch-nipple length was (22.27±2.38) cm at the operative side, and (23.33±2.22) cm at the healthy side, showing no statistical significance ( t=-1.253, P=0.242). The nipple-midsternal line length was(10.12±0.91) cm at the operative side, and (10.68±1.09) cm at the healthy side, showing no statistical significance ( t=-1.937, P=0.094). The nipple-inframammary fold length was (6.94±0.95) cm at the operative side, and (7.05±1.30) cm at the healthy side, showing no statistical significance ( t=-0.478, P=0.645). The patient’s breast satisfaction was 60.2±11.4 points before operation and 61.7±12.7 points after operation, with no difference between them ( t=-0.330, P=0.744). The overall postoperative comfort index was 62.05±4.40 points, which indicates a moderate comfort state. The physiological comfort index was 6.52±2.05 points, the mental and psychological comfort index was 15.13±2.56 points, the social comfort index was 19.09±1.57 points, and the environmental comfort index was 21.29±2.11 points. There was no local recurrence and no systemic metastasis 2 years after operation. Conclusions:The breast conservation in central breast cancer with local rotation flap with subcutaneous pedicle is less invasive with few complication and satisfactory results in cosmetic appearance. The moderate comfort index and good prognosis can be prospected.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of routine indicators such as blood routine and liver and kidney function in auxiliary diagnosis and prognosis of COVID-19 patients.Methods:SNK-q and other methods were used to retrospectively analyzed the differences of blood routine test, liver and kidney function and other inflammatory indexes of 30 patients with covid-19, 29 patients with other viral pneumonia, 35 patients with influenza A/B and 25 healthy persons from January 28 to February 14, 2020 in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University.Results:The neutrophils count increased gradually in COVID-19 group, influenza A/B group and other types of viral pneumonia group, and the difference between COVID-19 group and other viral pneumonia groups was statistically significant( H=-19.064, P<0.05); The lymphocyte count decreased gradually in the control group, influenza A/B group, other viral pneumonia group and COVID-19 group. In addition, DB, UA and GLU were also different among groups. Subgroup analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in N( F=9.581, t=-0.152, P<0.05), N%( F=5.723, t=-0.600, P<0.05), NLR( F=4.773, t=-1.161, P<0.05), PCT( F=17.464, t=-1.477, P<0.05)and CRP( F=7.656, t=-1.973, P<0.05) between patients with lung involvement +-++ and patients with lung involvement +++-++++. There were statistically significant differences in NLR( F=63.931, t=-2.815, P<0.01), AST( F=15.704, t=-1.930, P<0.01), ALT( F=35.551, t=-2.199, P<0.01), LDH( F=7.715, t=-2.703, P<0.05) and GLU( F=6.306, t=-5.116, P<0.05) between the light+common subgroup and the heavy+critical subgroup of COVID-19 clinical classification. Correlation analysis showed that clinical stage and imaging credit period were significantly correlated with NLR ( r=0.406 , P=0.026; r=0.397 , P=0.030), ALT ( r=0.403 , P=0.049; r=0.418 , P=0.047), LDH ( r=0.543 , P<0.01; r=0.643 , P<0.01) and GLU( r=0.750 , P<0.01; r=0.471 , P=0.042). A total of 5 principal components were extracted from all the included indicators, and the comprehensive information extraction rate was 82.86%. Indicators of a large load included Ur, PCT and CRP in PC1; ALT, AST and GLU in PC2; N%, L%, L and NLR in PC3. It indicated that the indicators of acute infection, liver function and blood routine had certein warning effect on disease surveillance. The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the combined detection of N+TB+Urea was the best practice to distinguish COVID-19 and other viral pneumonia, while the combined detection of N+L+UA was the most effective solution to make a distinction between COVID-19 and influenza A/B patients. In the aspect of disease evaluation, NL+LDH+GLU+ALT combined detection represent the best diagnostic performance to distinguish the clinical stage of light+common type and heavy+critical type, achieving the AUC (ROC) to 0.904, with the sensitivity 75% and the specificity 100% at the cut-off value of 0.477. Conclusion:In addition to etiology and imaging examination, doctors can also improve the routine laboratory tests such as blood routine test, liver and kidney function to assist diagnosis and disease prediction of patients with respiratory tract infection.
