Objective:To construct a nomogram model for spontaneous respiratory arrest prediction in nerocritical patients within 72 hours after brain injury for early identification of potential brain death organ donors.Methods:From October 2017 to May 2019, 127 hospitalized neurocritical patients (including traumatic brain injury and spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage) were prospectively enrolled and the parameters related to brain injury were dynamically recorded. Among them, the data from October 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018 were used for constructing the training set and the data from June 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019 for constructing the validation set. The occurrence of spontaneous respiratory arrest within 72 h after brain injury was regarded as the time interest point and grouping factor. The factors associated with spontaneous respiratory arrest were screened by univariate and multivariate analyses. Then the Nomogarm prediction model was developed and tested in the validation set.Results:Sixty-five patients entered the training set and another 62 cases were enrolled into the validation set. In training set, univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that midline shift ( OR=4.56, 95%CI: 1.87~19.21), absent of ambient cistern ( OR=4.83, 95%CI: 1.35~16.34), cough reflex ( OR=3.82, 95%CI: 1.15~12.42), intraventricular hemorrhage ( OR=3.16, 95%CI: 1.53~14.52) and serum Na + <125 mmol/L ( OR=3.06, 95%CI: 1.53~13.44) were associated with spontaneous respiratory within 72 h. In both sets, the predicted C index of spontaneous respiratory arrest rate within 72 h was 0.81 (95%CI: 0.76~0.85) and 0.80 (95%CI 0.75~0.83) respectively. Further statistical analysis implied that 140, 160 and 170 points were the dangerous dividing points and these three points were 30.1%, 65.6% and 93.4% associated with spontaneous respiratory arrest within 72 h respectively. Conclusions:Nomogram model based upon assessment parameters of brain injury may predict the time of spontaneous respiratory arrest in neurocritical patients. It can be used for early identification of potential brain death organ donors. The results require further external data validation.

Objective Parainfluenza virus is an important pathogen of lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children.This study was to search for a method for rapid culture and identification of human parainfluenza viruses from nasal swabs. Methods Nasal swab specimens were collected from 0-5 years old children with acute respiratory tract infection.The specimens were inoculated onto 96 plates with prefabricated LLC-MK2 cells and then centrifuged for 1 hour at 3000 r/min and also inoculated using the traditional culture method, followed by addition of virus mainte-nance medium containing 4 μg/mL TPCK trypsin.The cytopathic effect was observed daily, and hemagglutination and blood absorption tests were done at 2, 5, and 8 days after inoculation.In case of posi-tive result of either test, the specimen was subjected to immunofluo-rescence staining. Results Six strains of parainfluenza virus were isolated from the 83 nasal swab specimens, with a positive rate of 7.2%.There was a significant difference in the rate of separation be-tween the rapid and traditional culture methods after 2 days of culturing (7.2%vs 0%, P<0.05).The infected cells produced a cy-topathic effect that characterized by syncytium and crush formation.Hemagglutination and blood adsorption tests were positive at 4℃and negative at the room temperature.Immunofluorescence staining exhibited specific apple green fluorescence. Conclusion The method for rapid culture and identification of human parainfluenza viruses in nasal swab specimens was successfully established, which can be used to obtain and identify parainfluenza viruses with virulence and biological activity in 2 days.
