Objective:To investigate the predictive value of mechanism Glasgow age blood pressure score (MGAPS), revised trauma score (RTS) and modified rapid emergency medicine score (mREMS) in predicting the mortality risk of patients with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) within 24 hours.Methods:A case control study was performed for clinical data of 1 156 patients with acute TBI admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Nantong Hospital from January to December of 2020, including 745 males and 411 females; aged 18-100 years [(59.9±15.1)years]. Glasgow coma score (GCS) was 3-15 points [15(9, 15)points]. The patients were divided into death group ( n=87) and survival group ( n=1 069) according to death or not within 24 hours. Vital signs, general data, MGAPS, RTS and mREMS were documented at emergency visit. Differences in the specific scores and severity levels of the patients using the three scoring systems were compared between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted for the three scoring systems based on the specific scores and severity levels of the patients. While the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, optimal threshold and Youden index were determined to estimate the value of the three scoring systems in predicting death risk in patients with acute TBI within 24 hours. Results:Death group showed significantly decreased scores in MGAPS [17(12, 19)points] and RTS [5.0(4.1, 6.0)points] and significantly increased score in mREMS [9(7, 12)points] when compared with survival group (all P<0.01). The proportion of moderate- and high-risk patients for MGAPS and proportion of high-risk patients for RTS and mREMS in death group were significantly higher than those in survival group (all P<0.01). As indicated by the ROC curve plotted based on the specific scores, mREMS had the maximum AUC (0.88), followed by MGAPS (0.86) and RTS (0.86); the sensitivity of mREMS, MGAPS and RTS was similar (80.5%, 86.2% and 82.8%, respectively), while mREMS showed the highest specificity (83.4%) compared to MGAPS (78.0%) and RTS (82.3%); the optimum threshold of mREMS, MGAPS and RTS, was 6 points, 6.08 points and 20 points; the Youden index of MGAPS, RTS and mREMS was 0.64, 0.64 and 0.65. As indicated by the ROC curve plotted based on the injury severity, MGAPS had the highest AUC (0.84), followed by RTS (0.70) and mREMS (0.59); MGAPS also had the highest sensitivity (92.0%), higher than RTS (47.1%) and RTS (18.4%); when mREMS showed the highest specificity(98.8%) compared to RTS (93.7%) and MGAPS (68.8%); the optimal threshold of MGAPS, RTS and mREMS was 22 points, 4 points and 13 points; the Youden index of MGAPS, RTS and mREMS was 0.61, 0.41 and 0.17. Conclusions:MGAPS, RTS and mREMS can be predictive in assessing the mortality risk of patients with acute TBI within 24 hours. mREMS has the highest prediction value, with an optimal threshold of 6 points when the risk assessment is made in accordance with specific scores of the patients. MGAPS has the highest prediction value when the risk assessment is assessed by the injury severity.

Objective To evaluate the safety and drug adherence of tocilizumab(TCZ)in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis(RA)in routine clinical practice. Methods This 24 week single center observational study recruited patients with moderate to severe RA. Therapy adherence rate was calculated by actual dosing/expected dosing×100%. Efficacy end points included physician global assessment of disease activity(PGA),patient global assessment of disease activity(PtGA),28-joint disease activity score(DAS28)and so on. Safety was evaluated by recorded adverse events (AEs). Results Sixty patients were enrolled with a mean (SD) treatment adherence of (67±27)%. PGA, PtGA, pain assessment (VAS), TJC and SJC all decreased during this study. At the 12th week, 25%(6/24) and 29%(7/24) of the patients achieved DAS28 remission and EULAR good response,respectively.Eighteen AEs were recorded,of which only 2 were severe AEs(SAEs)and neither was related to TCZ. Conclusion TCZ is a highly safe treatment for decreasing disease activity in patients with moderate to severe RA in China.However,drug adherence still need to be improved.

Objective To investigate the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) time-intensity curve in the radiofrequency ablation treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Seventy-six patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (118 tumor lesions) conducted the ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation therapy.The acoustic quantitative analysis software was employed to dynamically analyze the residual ablation lesions,which were compared with the examination results of synchronous enhanced MRI,with the pathology as the gold standard,the benign and malignant tumor residual ablation lesions were performed the statistically comparative analysis.Results The accuracy of CEUS effect after liver radiofrequency ablation therapy was 82.2 ％,which of enhanced MRI was 83.9 ％;the difference between CEUS and enhanced MRI had no statistical significance(P＞ 0.05),their examination results had higher consistency;the benign residual ablation lesions after radiofrequency ablation had blood perfusion characteristics different from malignant residual lesions,the time-intensity curve showed that IMAX benign residual lesions were smaller than malignant residual lesions(P＜0.01).The benign residual lesions of RT and TTP were longer than the malignant residual lesions(P＜0.01);diagnosing benign and malignant had no statistical difference between CEUS and enhanced MRI (P＞0.05).Conclusion CEUS combined with the time-intensity curve can dynamically,intuitively and quantitatively reflect the blood perfusion differences among inactivated focus,benign and malignant residual lesions,and the surrounding liver parenchyma.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the significance of monitoring procalcitonin (PCT) when applying antibiotics to trichlorethylene (TCE)-induced dermatitis.

METHODSOne hundred and two patients who were hospitalized and recovered from TCE-induced dermatitis in our hospital from 2006 to 2013 were enrolled as subjects. Based on whether the PCT level was monitored or not, we divided patients into regular group and PCT group. For the regular group, we applied antibiotic treatment and determined the course of treatment based on clinical symptoms, laboratory test results, medical imaging results, and bacterial culture. For the PCT group, in addition to the above treatments, antibiotic treatment was applied when the PCT level was not lower than 0.25 ng/ml and stopped when the PCT level was lower than 0.25 ng/ml. The distribution of bacterial infection sites, type of bacteria, type of antibiotics, average period of hospitalization, and course of antibiotic treatment were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThere were no significant differences in the distribution of bacterial infection sites, type of bacteria, type of antibiotics, and average period of hospitalization between the two groups (P > 0.05). The course of antibiotic treatment for the PCT group was significantly shorter than that for the regular group (25.37 ± 11.66 vs 20.58 ± 7.53 d, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONUnder similar conditions of bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment of TCE-induced dermatitis based on the serum PCT level can significantly shorten the course of treatment and avoid the abuse of antibiotics.

As an important promising biomarker, high frequency oscillations (HFOs) can be used to track epileptic activity and localize epileptogenic zones. However, visual marking of HFOs from a large amount of intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) data requires a great deal of time and effort from researchers, and is also very dependent on visual features and easily influenced by subjective factors. Therefore, we proposed an automatic epileptic HFO detection method based on visual features and non-intuitive multi-domain features. To eliminate the interference of continuous oscillatory activity in detected sporadic short HFO events, the iEEG signals adjacent to the detected events were set as the neighboring environmental range while the number of oscillations and the peak–valley differences were calculated as the environmental reference features. The proposed method was developed as a MatLab-based HFO detector to automatically detect HFOs in multi-channel, long-distance iEEG signals. The performance of our detector was evaluated on iEEG recordings from epileptic mice and patients with intractable epilepsy. More than 90% of the HFO events detected by this method were confirmed by experts, while the average missed-detection rate was < 10%. Compared with recent related research, the proposed method achieved a synchronous improvement of sensitivity and specificity, and a balance between low false-alarm rate and high detection rate. Detection results demonstrated that the proposed method performs well in sensitivity, specificity, and precision. As an auxiliary tool, our detector can greatly improve the efficiency of clinical experts in inspecting HFO events during the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy.
