Objective:To explore the predictive value of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) and poisoning severity score (PSS) in the clinical prognosis of patients with wasp sting.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. The clinical data of patients who were stung by wasps admitted to emergency department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology from July 2017 to November 2019 were collected. The 24-hour acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ), CK-MB and PSS scores of the patients were collected after admission, and 28-day outcome was recorded. Spearman correlation analysis method was used to analyze the correlation between CK-MB and PSS score. Logistic regression model was used to construct joint predictors, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of various indicators for 28-day prognosis of patients with wasp stings.Results:Finally 90 patients were included in the analysis. There were 67 patients survived at 28 days, and 23 dead with the 28-day mortality of 25.6%. APACHEⅡ score, CK-MB and PSS score in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group [APACHEⅡscore: 19.7±2.7 vs. 13.7±2.3, CK-MB (U/L): 183 (151, 243) vs. 36 (21, 75), PSS score: 17.7±2.6 vs. 9.3±4.5, all P < 0.01]. The correlation analysis showed that CK-MB and PSS score were positively correlated ( r = 0.843, P < 0.01). Logistic regression model fitted CK-MB and PSS score, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the model fitted well. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of CK-MB for predicting 28-day outcome was 0.957, the sensitivity was 91.3%, and the specificity was 88.1%; the AUC of PSS score was 0.908, the sensitivity was 91.3%, and the specificity was 90.8%. The AUC of CK-MB combined with PSS score was 0.964, the sensitivity was 100%, and the specificity was 79.4%, indicating that CK-MB combined with PSS score had higher predictive value and higher sensitivity for 28-day prognosis of patients with wasp sting. Conclusions:High CK-MB level and high PSS score in early stage of wasp sting injury indicate poor prognosis. Both CK-MB and PSS score can be used as predictors for predicting the prognosis of patients with wasp stings. In addition, CK-MB combined with PSS score have greater predictive value .

Objective To systematically evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical applicability of recognition of stroke in the emergency room (ROSIER) scale by systematic review and Meta-analysis. Methods The Chinese and English literatures concerning the diagnostic accuracy of ROSIER published from January 1st 2005 to December 31st 2018 by PubMed, Embase, Wanfang, VIP and CNKI databases were searched comprehensively and systematically. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of ROSIER in total population and subgroup analysis were pooled by using bivariate mixed effects model. Sensitivity analysis was used to evaluate the stability of the results. Deek funnel plot was utilized to evaluate publication bias. The clinical applicability of ROSIER was evaluated by Fagan Nomogram. Results A total of 28 studies incorporating 7 579 subjects were enrolled in this Meta-analysis. Meta-analysis in total population showed that the pooled sensitivity, specificity and DOR of ROSIER was 0.89 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.86-0.91, P = 0.00], 0.74 (95%CI = 0.67-0.80, P = 0.00) and 22.09 (95%CI =14.86-32.82, P = 0.00), respectively. Subgroup analysis of pooled sensitivity of ROSIER showed that Asian patients was significantly higher than European patients [0.89 (95%CI = 0.86-0.92) vs. 0.74 (95%CI = 0.66-0.82), P < 0.01], prospective study was significantly higher than retrospective study [0.89 (95%CI = 0.87-0.92) vs. 0.74 (95%CI = 0.61-0.88), P < 0.05], pre-hospital emergency was significantly higher than emergency department [0.87 (95%CI = 0.80-0.94) vs. 0.85 (95%CI = 0.81-0.90), P < 0.01], study with sample size ≤ 200 was significantly higher than study with sample size > 200 [0.88 (95%CI = 0.83-0.93) vs. 0.82 (95%CI = 0.76-0.88), P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference between different evaluators or different male to female ratio subgroups. Subgroup analysis of pooled specificity of ROSIER showed that European patients was significantly higher than Asian patients [0.81 (95%CI = 0.73-0.89) vs. 0.79 (95%CI = 0.73-0.85), P < 0.05], retrospective study was significantly higher than prospective study [0.88 (95%CI =0.78-0.97) vs. 0.79 (95%CI = 0.73-0.84), P < 0.05], pre-hospital emergency was significantly higher than emergency department [0.82 (95%CI = 0.73-0.91) vs. 0.79 (95%CI = 0.73-0.85), P < 0.01], emergency physicians was significantly higher than other medical workers [0.80 (95%CI = 0.74-0.86) vs. 0.79 (95%CI = 0.69-0.90), P < 0.05], study with sample size ≤ 200 was significantly higher than study with sample size > 200 [0.82 (95%CI = 0.76-0.89) vs. 0.78 (95%CI = 0.71-0.85), P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference between different male or female ratio subgroups. Sensitivity analysis showed that there was no significant change in pooled DOR before and after excluding each study, indicating that the results were stable. Funnel plot showed that there was a significant publication bias in the total population (P = 0.04), but there was no publication bias in the European population (P = 0.57) or the Asian population (P = 0.08). According to the results of the Fagan Nomogram, with the pretest probability of 50%, when ROSIER was positive, the probability of being diagnosed with stroke increased to 77%, and when ROSIER was negative, the probability of being diagnosed with non-stroke decreased to 13%. It was suggested that ROSIER had good applicability and high clinical diagnostic value. Conclusions ROSIER has high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, and has high clinical diagnostic value. It is a valid stroke identification tool which can be widely used in Asian population, pre-hospital emergency and be utilized by trained medical worker.

Objective To investigate the correlation between 24-h ambulatory blood pressure variability and the overall burden of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods From March 2016 to December 2017, consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, the Affiliated Changshu Hospital of Soochow University were enrolled. The 3. 0 T-MRI was used to assess asymptomatic lacunar infarction, white matter hyperintensities, cerebral microbleeds, and enlarged perivascular spaces within 24 h after admission, and the total CSVD score (0-4) was calculated. 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed 24 to 72 h after admission. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between the 24-h ambulatory blood pressure-related index and the total CSVD score. Results A total of 220 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled. The patients were divided into five groups according to the total CSVD score. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, homocysteine, the proportion of hypertension, as well as 24 h, daytime and nighttime mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), and coefficient of variation of daytime SBP among the 5 groups (all P < 0. 05). Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR] 1. 078, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1. 051-1. 106; P < 0. 001), 24-h mean SBP (OR 1. 043, 95% CI 1. 026-1. 060; P < 0. 001), daytime mean SBP (OR 1. 042, 95% CI 1. 025-1. 059; P < 0. 001), nighttime mean SBP (OR 1. 034, 95% CI 1. 019-1. 049; P < 0. 001), and coefficient of variation of daytime SBP (OR 1. 129, 95% CI 1. 052-1. 210; P = 0. 003) were independently correlated with the total CSVD score. Conclusions The elevated 24 h, daytime and nighttime mean SBP levels and coefficient of variation of daytime SBP are independently correlated with the severity of overall CSVD burden in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

MALDI-MS is an emerging technique that enables rapid profiling of endogenous substances in a high throughput. Nevertheless, its application to metabolite analysis is often hindered by the presence of massive matrix background peaks using conventional matrices. Herein rhein was introduced as a novel matrix for MALDI-MS analysis of cation metabolites. Several strong and weak basic metabolites were measured using rhein. Compared to the previously reported ionless matrix NSA and conventional matrix CHCA, clean MALDI-MS spectra were obtained devoid of matrix signals. Subsequently, we applied this matrix to profile a biologically complex sample, mice intestinal contents. In addition, we have validated the applicability of rhein to MALDI-MS imaging, which allows for simultaneous mapping of hundreds of metabolites from single mouse ileum section. In summary, the discovery of rhein as a novel MALDI matrix enables efficient and reliable profiling and imaging of endogenous metabolites from biological samples with no matrix interferences, which will greatly promote the utility of MALDI-MS-based platform for metabolome studies.
