Objective To verify the validity and feasibility of national early warning score (NEWS) in evaluation of death risk in elderly patients with critical illness,in order to find out which scoring method is more suitable for elderly critical illness patients.Methods A prospective case-control study was conducted.The critical illness patients aged over 60 years old with the length of hospital stay over 24 hours,and admitted to Department of Emergency of Qingdao Municipal Hospital from January to December 2015 were enrolled.The clinical data including in emergency and the actual outcome of patients were collected,and the patients were divided into death group and survival group according to 30-day outcome.Patients in the two groups were assessed by using NEWS and risk classification according to the first results of vital signs monitoring.Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the NEWS classification and the risk of death in elderly critical ill patients.Results 1 950 emergency elderly patients with critical illness were enrolled,with 78 cases (4.0％) dead within 30 days and 1 872 survived (96.0％).Compared with the survival group,patients in death group were older (years:79.8 ± 10.8 vs.75.3 ± 8.9,t =4.335,P ＜0.001),and had higher acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score (22.9± 4.6 vs.18.2 ± 4.8,t =8.487,P ＜ 0.001),lower Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score (12.2 ± 4.5 vs.13.4 ± 5.2,t =-2.007,P =0.045),higher incidence of respiratory system diseases (29.5％ vs.17.9％,x 2 =12.742,P =0.013),higher NEWS score (11.2 ± 5.5 vs.3.9 ± 2.7,t =22.063,P ＜ 0.001),as well as higher proportion of patients with NEWS classification of high risk and very high risk (65.4％ vs.15.8％,x 2 =263.125,P ＜ 0.001).With the increase of NEWS risk classification,mortality rate was also increased,and the mortality rate in the patients with low,medium,high and very high risk were 0.81％ (9/1 108),3.63％ (18/496),5.83％ (13/223),30.89％ (38/123),respectively,with statistically significant difference (x 2 =179.741,P ＜ 0.001).It was showed by logistic regression analysis that the NEWS score of elderly patients with critical illness were positively correlated with 30-day death.The 30-day death risk of patients with middle risk,high risk and very high risk was 4.600,9.052 and 54.598 folds of the patients with low risk respectively.Conclusion NEWS score can be used to assess the risk of death in emergency elderly patients with critical illness.NEWS risk classification can quantify and classify the risk of death in the elderly patients with critical illness.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of modified quadruple therapy for patients who were failed in previous Helicobacter pylori ( Hp) eradication treatment .Methods A total of 86 patients with confirmed Hp infection and failed in previous Hp eradication treatment were collected from Qingdao Municipal Hospital during January 2012 and January 2014.Patients were randomly assigned into two group:43 patients in control group were given conventional quadruple therapy ( rabeprazole +colloidal bismuth pectin +amoxicillin +clarithromycin for 14 d ) , and 43 patients in test group were given modified quadruple therapy ( rabeprazole +colloidal bismuth pectin +amoxicillin +clarithromycin for 7 d, and lansoprazole +colloidal bismuth pectin +levofloxacin +metronidazole for 7 d).Chi square test was performed to analyze per-protocol (PP) eradication rates, intent-to-treat (ITT) eradication rates, and Hp recurrence rates between two groups .Results Among 43 patients in test group , 42 completed treatments with PP eradication rate of 100.00% and ITT eradication rate of 97.67%.All patients in control group completed treatments , and Hp eradication was observed in 24 patients , and both PP and ITT eradication rates were 55.81%.The differences in PP and ITT eradication rates between two groups were of statistical significance (χ2 =23.90 and 21.11, P<0.05).The 3-month and 6-month Hp recurrence rates in test group (14.29%and 20.00%) tended to be lower than those in control group (20.83%and 34.78%), but the differences were not of statistical significance (χ2 =0.12 and 1.68, P>0.05).Conclusion The efficacy of modified quadruple therapy for patients who were failed in the previous Hp eradication treatment is satisfactory.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to analyze the biomechanical effects of four sutures that are related to maxillary growth during a maxillary protraction treatment cycle based on labiolingual appliance.

METHODSA three-dimensional simulation of labiolingual appliance was performed based on a three-dimensional finite-element maxillofacial model combined with solid-modeled sutures.

RESULTSThe displacement and stress distributions were calculated. The labiolingual appliance was suitable for patients with underbites or deep overbites. Sutura frontomaxillaris and sutura zygomaticomaxillaris were vital to the forward displacement and counterclockwise rotation of the maxillary. The changes in sutura zygomaticotemporalis and sutura palatine were not significant.

CONCLUSIONThe influences of the labiolingual appliance on the sutures during the treatment cycle of maxillary protraction can be effectively simulated by the three-dimensional finite-element maxillofacial model.

There are few reports on the study of extraperitoneal robotic single-port laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in China. In this study, patients with localized prostate cancer were treated with extraperitoneal robotic single-port laparoscopic radical prostatectomy extraperitoneal robot-assisted single-port laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(EpRA-spRP)from April 2019 to June 2019.All patients performed EpRA-spRP successfully without adding additional auxiliary port. The operation time and blood loss were controllable, and hospitalization time was short. It is safe and feasible to perform EpRA-spRP for medium and low-risk prostate cancer. The short-term tumor control and functional recovery are satisfactory.However, the long-term effect needs further follow-up and observation.

Objective:To investigate the influence of infarct vessel diameter, blood flow before operation, blood flow status after operation, coronary artery disease, number of coronary artery lesions and other risk factors on the levels of inflammatory factors IL-1, IL-6, IL-10 in the coronary blood of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to determine the relationship between inflammatory factors and ACS and its impact on clinical status.Methods:The peripheral blood and coronary blood of 54 patients with ACS underwent emergency interventional treatment were collected before the operation. The level of IL-1, IL-6, and IL-10 in the blood sample was detected by an automatic biochemical analyzer.Results:Postoperative adverse cardiac events were positively correlated with the patient's age, D-to-B time, and the number of coronary artery lesions (all P<0.05). The levels of IL-1, IL-6 and IL-10 in coronary blood of ACS patients were higher than those in peripheral blood (all P<0.05). The number of coronary artery disease branches (≥3), the onset time of myocardial infarction (>4 h), diabetes mellitus, ischemic post-treatment, preoperative blood flow level ( 2.5 mm, coronary artery disease number ≥ 3, severe right coronary artery disease, preoperative blood flow 22 frames, and cardiovascular events, the IL-10 levels are higher (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The levels of inflammatory factors IL-1, IL-6, and IL-10 in coronary blood of ACS patients are higher than those in peripheral blood, suggesting that acute coronary artery originates from local coronary inflammatory reaction, and the increase of inflammatory factors in peripheral blood belongs to "Erosion" effect. The level of inflammatory factors is significantly related to the diameter of the diseased blood vessel, preoperative blood flow, the number of coronary artery disease, the location of myocardial infarction, diabetes and smoking history.

Objective:To study the prognostic risk factors of Enterobacteriaceae bloodstream infection in patients with sepsis.Methods:The medical records of patients with sepsis caused by Enterobacteriaceae bloodstream infection in our hospital from June 2017 to May 2019 were screened. The gender, age, admission department, basic disease, infection site, etiology examination and treatment plan were recorded in detail. The survival and death groups were divided according to the patient's survival status. The ratio of C-reactive protein (CRP) to serum prealbumin (PA) was recorded within 24 h after admission. The acute physiological and chronic health scores (APACHEⅡ score) and Pitt bacteremia score (PBS score) were calculated within 24 h, and based on the results of blood culture drug sensitivity test to analyze whether the initial experience treatment was appropriate. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to predict the occurrence of poor prognosis in patients with sepsis.Results:Logistic regression analysis showed that CRP ( OR=1.021, P<0.01), CRP/PA ( OR=34.638, P<0.01), extended-spectrum β-lactamase production ( OR=0.244, P<0.01), inappropriate empirical antibacterial treatment ( OR=0.156, P<0.01), APACHE Ⅱ score ( OR=1.436, P<0.01), and PBS score ( OR=8.622, P<0.01) were risk factors affecting patient's prognosis. Multivariate regression analysis showed that CRP/PA ( OR=25.420, P<0.05), inappropriate empirical treatment ( OR=0.077, P<0.05), APACHEⅡ score ( OR=1.476, P<0.01), PBS score ( OR=12.042, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for death in patients with sepsis ( P<0.05). The higher the CRP/PA level, PBS score and APACHEⅡ score, the worse the prognosis. When CRP/PA ≥0.89, PBS score ≥3.5, APACHEⅡ score ≥17.5, the patient's risk of death increased significantly. In addition, inappropriate empirical treatment was also a key factor in patients with poor prognosis. Conclusions:CRP/PA, PBS score, APACHE Ⅱ score, and inappropriate empiricaltreatment are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with enterobacter hemorrhagic infection with sepsis. The PBS score and APACHEⅡ score can better predict the poor prognosis and risk of death. Compared with APACHEⅡscore, the former is simpler and practical and can be widely used.

The detection of coagulation factor Ⅷ activity plays an important role in the diagnosis, typing, efficacy monitoring and detection of inhibitor titer in hemophilia A, acquired hemophilia A and von Willebrand disease. However, due to the diversity of detecting systems, the difference of reagent composition, the existence of interfering substances and other influence factors, the detection of coagulation factor Ⅷ activity in the laboratories in China still needs to be improved.

Objective:To study the impact of repeat hepatectomy for patients with post-hepatectomy recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The data of patients who developed post-hepatecotmy recurrent HCC and underwent repeat hepatectomy at the General Surgery Department of Beijing Tongren Hospital from May 2013 to May 2016 (the Recurrence Group), were retrospectively compared with the data from patients who underwent initial hepatectomy for HCC during the same study period (the Primary Group). The general data, perioperative data, postoperative complications and survival of the two groups were compared.Results:The primary group included 179 patients, consisting of 133 males and 46 females, aged (57.3±11.7) years, with a range from 14.0 to 84.0 years. The recurrence group included 36 patients, consisting of 30 males and 6 females, aged (55.9±11.4) years, with a range from 40.0 to 77.0 years. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, age, hepatitis virus infection status, preoperative alpha fetoprotein, Child-Pugh score and indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min ( P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) between the two groups in operative time [(244.2±84.3)min vs. (283.4±66.8)min], intraoperative blood loss[(428.5±151.6)ml vs. (756.2±187.4)ml], anatomic or nonanatomic hepatectomy, single tumor or multiple tumors, and maximum tumor diameter[(5.81±2.24)cm vs. (3.69±1.55)cm]. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in incidences of tumor capsular invasion, tumor thrombus and degrees of tumor differentiation ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in surgical complication rates ( P>0.05), and in 1-year and 3-year overall and disease free survival rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Repeat hepatectomy for recurrent HCC after hepatectomy was safe and effective. Its long-term survival outcomes were similar to first hepatectomy for HCC.

Objective:To assess the safety and feasibility of single-port robotic radical cystectomy.Methods:During May 2019 and August 2019, nine patients (8 males, 1 female) received single-port robotic radical cystectomy by the same surgeon. The average age was 65.6(56-78)years. After a 4.5-5.5 cm trans-umbilical incision was made, Lagiport was inserted. Da Vinci Si system 1 #, 2 # arms and 30° lens were applied. Radical cystectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy were performed without additional ports. Urinary diversion was completed outside the body. Uterus and vaginal anterior walls were also resected for female patient. Results:All 9 surgeries were successfully conducted without additional ports or conversion to laparoscopic and open surgery. The average operation time was 437.8(280-600)min. Urinary diversion methods included 2 orthotopic ileal neobladder, 5 ideal conduit and 2 cutaneous ureterostomy. Average estimated blood loss was 227.8(100-450)ml, without blood transfusion. Average intestinal recovery time was 3.1(2-4)days, drainage duration was 8.3(3-16) days, and postoperative hospital stays was 7.7(6-13) days. Pathological TNM stage: T 2aN 0M 0 6 cases, T 2bN 0M 0 1 case, T 3aN 3M 0 1 case, T isN 0M 0 1 case. All surgical margins were negative. One bowel obstruction was cured with fasting and indwelling gastric tube. During 9-12 months’ follow-up, no tumor recurrence and metastasis were observed. There was no hydronephrosis or ureterostenosis. All surgical incision healed well. Conclusions:For experienced surgeons, single-port robotic radical cystectomy is safe and feasible with small incision and fast recovery. Short-term clinical result is satisfied.
