Objective To investigate the value of serum pentraxins-3 (PTX-3) together with triglyceride (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) as predictor risk factors of future acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Methods One hundred and seventy-one cases of selective coronary angiography from July 2008 to December 2009 were collected and analyzed. According to the situation on admission and coronary angiography, patients were divided into three groups: normal control group (25 cases), stable angina pectoris (SAP) group (23 cases) and ACS group (123 cases). Fasting venous blood was extracted for measuring serum PTX-3 and lipids (TG, HDL-C) in the next morning, and the statistical significanc was analyzed. Results The level of serum PTX-3 and the ratio of TG to HDL-C in ACS group [(6.39 ± 3.01)μ g/L, 2.38 ± 2.00] were significantly higher than those in SAP group[(3.87 ± 2.05 ) μ g/L, 1.70 ± 1.01] and normal control group [(2.90 ± 1.94)μg/L,0.95 ±0.35] (P <0.01 or <0.05). Conclusion Increased serum PTX-3 levels and ratio of TG to HDL-C in patients are closely related with ACS, both of which increase the accuracy of early diagnosis of ACS.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Chaichuan Tongren Mixture supplemented with hysteroscopic recanalization in the treatment of tubal obstructive infertility of liver depression and qi stagnation type.Methods:A total of 60 patients with tubal obstructive infertility of liver depression and qi stagnation type who met the inclusion criteria were selected, between August 2018 and June 2020, and they were divided into the observation group with 31 cases and the control group with 29 cases, according to the random number table method. The control group was treated with hysteroscopic recanalization, while the observation group was given Chaichuan Tongren Mixture on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 4 months and followed up for 12 months. TCM syndromes were scored before and after treatment, and prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) was detected by fully automatic biochemical analyzer and levels of TNF-α, CRP and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. The tubal patency of patients after treatment was observed, the pregnancy status was recorded after the end of follow-up and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The total effective rate was 96.77% in the observation group and that in the control group was 75.86% ( χ2=4.01, P<0.01). The scores of breast distending pain, irregular menstruation, dark purple menstrual flow and lumbosacral pain in the observation group after treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 17.69, 21.67, 20.89, 14.67, 18.20, respectively, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, the levels of serum PGE 2, TNF-α, CRP, and IL-6 were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group [(65.31±6.73) ng/L vs. (87.10±8.85) ng/L, t=10.78; (6.90±0.71) ng/L vs. (11.35±1.23) ng/L, t=17.30; (2.47±0.25) mg/L vs. (5.10±0.52) mg/L, t=25.23; (12.38±1.26) ng/L vs. (30.16±3.15) ng/L, t=29.05] ( P<0.01). After treatment, there was statistical significance in the total effective rate of tubal patency of 96.8% (30/31) in the observation group compared to 79.3% (23/29) in the control group ( χ2=4.43, P<0.01). At the end of follow-up, the pregnancy rate was 71.0% (22/31) in the observation group and 44.8% (13/29) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.21, P<0.01). Conclusion:The Chaichuan Tongren Mixture supplemented with hysteroscopic recanalization can reduce the levels of inflammatory mediators and increase the pregnancy rate of patients with tubal obstructive infertility of liver depression and qi stagnation type.

BACKGROUND:Delayed graft function (DGF) occurs frequently in kidney transplants from donation after cardiac death if creatinine level is high in kidney recipients. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical effects of renal transplantation with kidneys from donors dying of cardiac death in organophosphate poisoning. METHODS:Data were col ected from kidney transplants from two donors dying of cardiac death in organophosphate poisoning. After some donor maintenance, donor organ were obtained and perfused with impulse type machine. Recipients were treated with intervention of immunity induction, anti-rejection drugs and infection prevention drugs during and after renal transplantation. Pathological data of donor kidney zero needle biopsy, DGF after kidney transplantation, complication rate (such as acute rejection), renal al ograft recovery situation, the survival rate of recipients and kidney transplants were col ected and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Needle biopsy results from four donor kidneys showed that glomerular morphology was normal, but there were edema and degeneration in kidney tubules in some degree. Donor DGF rate was 75%(3/4), acute rejection rate was 0%(0/4), perioperative period donor kidney and recipient survival rate were 100%(4/4). Al recipients showed a good result of transplanted kidney, their creatinine and urea nitrogen were at low level, and had no proteinuria. One recipient died of severe pulmonary infection 4 months after surgery. For some organophosphate poisoning donors dying of cardiac death, donor kidney quality can be improved by suitable donor maintenance and high-quality donor kidney preservation using machine perfusion. Kidney transplants from donors dying of cardiac death in organophosphate poisoning who receive the maintenance of organ function may be a promising candidate for renal transplantation due to a severe lack of kidney donor sources.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of invasive arterial blood pressure (IBP) monitoring on the prognosis of patients with sepsis.Methods:Patients with sepsis from the MIMIC-Ⅳ database were collected and divided into IBP and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring (NIBP) groups according to whether IBP monitoring was performed. Baseline variables that were considered clinically relevant or showed a univariate relationship with the outcome were entered into a multivariate logistic regression model as covariates.Propensity score matching(PSM) and inverse probability of treatment weighing(IPTW) were used to adjust confounders to ensure the robustness of findings.Subgroup analysis were conducted to evaluate the effect of differences in IBP onset and duration on outcome.Results:The 28-day mortality is lower in IBP group compared with NIBP group( OR=0.54, 95% CI 0.46-0.62, P<0.001), the conclusion maintain robust after PSM and IPTW.Then we conducted a series of logistic regression regarding to different initial IBP time(<24 h,24 h-48 h,>48 h) and the initial IBP time within 24 h showed the same results compared to primary outcoms( OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.36-0.49, P<0.001). IBP duration varied (≤1day, ≤2days, ≤3days, ≤4days, >4days) all showed a statistically significant association with decreased 28-day mortality in the IBP group. Conclusions:IBP is associated with decreased 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis, and the optimal time of IBP is within 24 hours.
