Objective To determine the dose?response relationship of bupivacaine coadministered with sufentanil for subarachnoid block in severely preeclamptic patients undergoing cesarean delivery. Methods Two hundred patients with severe preeclampsia, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physi?cal statusⅠ?Ⅲ, scheduled for elective cesarean delivery, were divided into 4 groups ( n=50 each) using a random number table: bupivacaine 4 mg group ( group B4 ) , bupivacaine 6 mg group ( group B6 ) , bupivacaine 8 mg group ( group B8 ) , and bupivacaine 10 mg group ( group B10 ) . In B4 , B6 , B8 and B10 groups, bupivacaine 4, 6, 8 and 10 mg plus 2.5μg sufentanil in 2.5 ml of normal saline were injected into the subarachnoid space, respectively. Effective anesthesia was defined as bilateral sensory block of T6 achieved at 10 min after intrathecal administration when measured by pin?prick test, and with no need for epidural supplementation ( lidocaine ) . A probit analysis was used to estimate the 50% effective dose ( ED50 ) and 95% effective dose ( ED95 ) with 95% confidence intervals for bupivacaine, coadministered with sufentanil, when used for subarachnoid block in severely preeclamptic patients underwent cesarean de?livery. Results When coadministered with sufentanil, the ED50 and ED95 ( 95% confidence interval) of bupivacaine were 5.67 ( 5. 20-6. 10) mg and 8. 82 ( 8. 14-9.87) mg, respectively, for subarachnoid block in severely preeclamptic patients underwent cesarean delivery. Conclusion The ED50 and ED95 of bupivacaine for subarachnoid block, when coadministered with sufentanil 2.5 μg, are 5.67 and 8.82 mg, respectively, in severely preeclamptic patients undergoing cesarean delivery.

Objective:To analyze the effect of the implementation of diagnosis-intervention packet (DIP) on the doctors′ diagnosis and treatment behavior of chronic diseases, so as to provide reference for further improving medical insurance payment related policies.Methods:The first page information of chronic disease patients admitted to hospitals with diabetes, hypertension and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease as the main conditions in 103 hospitals at all levels and township health centers in a city from 2016 to 2020 was collected, and the patients were divided into non-DIP group and DIP group according to the implementation time of DIP. After 1∶1 propensity score matching to balance the general conditions of the 2 groups, the diagnosis and treatment behaviors were analyzed from two dimensions: diagnostic behavior and treatment behavior. The grade A rate of medical record writing, admission and discharge diagnosis coincidence rate, and the average length of stay were used to evaluate the diagnostic behavior; the proportion of drugs and the degree of change in the cost structure were used as the evaluation indicators of treatment behavior.Results:After matching, 41 050 patients were included in both the non-DIP group and the DIP group.From the perspective of diagnostic behavior, the grade A rate of medical record writing in the non-DIP group and the DIP group was 99.40% and 99.83%, the coincidence rate of admission and discharge diagnosis was 58.42% and 61.79%, the average hospital stay was 8.03 days and 7.04 days respectively, and the difference between the groups was significant ( P<0.05). From the view of treatment behavior, the proportion of drugs decreased from 33.00% in the non-DIP group to 27.59% in the DIP group, with a significant difference ( P<0.05); the drug cost represented by Western medicine changed negatively, while the diagnostic cost showed a positive change. Conclusions:DIP has played a certain role in regulating doctors′ diagnosis and treatment behavior for chronic diseases. Among them, doctors have significantly improved their diagnostic behavior for chronic diseases, and the proportion of drugs in treatment behavior has been well controlled.

Objective:To observe the expression level of bone morphogenetic protein 9 (bone morphogenetic protein 9,BMP9) in patients with sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (acute respiratory distress syndrome,ARDS), and to explore the role of BMP9 in early recognition and prognosis prediction of sepsis-associated ARDS.Methods:From May 2022 to May 2023, total of 56 patients with sepsis-associated ARDS in Shanxi Bethune Hospital were selected as the ARDS group, 49 patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema as the case control group, and 46 adults who underwent physical examination in the physical examination center of our hospital as the healthy control group.The patients in the ARDS group were followed up for 28 days and divided into survival group ( n = 26) and death group ( n = 30). The expression level of serum BMP9 and its correlation with clinical indicators in each group were analyzed and compared. The risk factors of sepsis-associated ARDS were analyzed by Logistic regression, and the diagnostic efficacy and prognostic value of related indicators were analyzed. Results:The serum level of BMP9 in sepsis-associated ARDS group [1401.14 (856.59,1982.86) ]pg/mL was significantly higher than that in case control group (438.26±128.52) pg/mL and healthy control group (398.96±96.55)pg/mL, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). In addition, BMP9 expression significantly correlated with procalcitonin, lymphocyte count and SOFA score ( P < 0.05, P < 0.01, respectively). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that BMP9 was a high risk factor for the development of sepsis-associated ARDS ( P<0.01). The area under the ROC curve (area under the ROC curve,AUC) of BMP9 to predict the occurrence of sepsis-associated ARDS was 0.930. The specificity was 100.0% and the sensitivity was 80.4%, which was significantly higher than the specificity (89.8%) and sensitivity (67.9%) of the oxygenation index. Follow-up and comparison of BMP9 levels in patients with different prognosis of sepsis-associated ARDS showed that the expression level of BMP9 in the death group was higher than that in the survival group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The ROC curve of BMP9 in predicting the prognosis of patients with sepsis-associated ARDS. The area under the ROC curve was 0.699, the sensitivity was 43.3%, and the specificity was 100.0%. Conclusions:The expression of BMP9 in sepsis-associated ARDS patients significantly increased, and its high expression was significantly correlated with inflammatory markers such as procalcitonin, lymphocyte count and SOFA score. BMP9 is an independent risk factor in patients with sepsis-associated ARDS, and it is promising as a new biomarker for early identification of sepsis-associated ARDS. However, it do not show a good predictive effect on the prognosis of the disease.

Objective:To explore the expression of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) in patients with septic cardiomyopathy and its value in the diagnosis of septic cardiomyopathy.Methods:A observational study was conducted. Fifty patients with septic cardiomyopathy admitted to Shanxi Bethune Hospital from May 2022 to March 2023 were selected as the experimental group. Forty-six patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the same period were selected as the case control group. Forty-nine healthy adults were selected as the healthy control group, who underwent physical examination in the physical examination center during the same period. The demographic data and clinical indicators of the subjects were recorded, and the serum GDF15 level was detected by double sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). And the 28-day outcome of patients with septic cardiomyopathy was followed up, and they were divided into survival group and death group. The serum GDF15 level of subjects in each group and its correlation with clinical indicators were analyzed and compared. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of septic cardiomyopathy. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the value of GDF15 in the diagnosis of septic cardiomyopathy.Results:The serum GDF15 level of experimental group was significantly higher than that in the case control group and healthy control group [ng/L: 314.14 (221.96, 469.56) vs. 39.08 (26.27, 76.85), 6.39 (3.35, 14.42), both P < 0.01]. Correlation analysis showed that serum GDF15 level in patients with septic cardiomyopathy were correlated with cardiac troponin I (cTnI, r = 0.295, P = 0.038), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP, r = 0.464, P = 0.009), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA, r = 0.363, P = 0.010) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ, r = 0.316, P = 0.025). However, there was no significant correlation with white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, lactic acid, albumin and other clinical indicators ( r values were 0.086, 0.123, -0.051, 0.055, 0.119, 0.199, -0.234, all P > 0.05). Serum GDF15 level, SOFA score and APACHEⅡ score in the death group (30 cases) were significantly higher than those in the survival group [20 cases; GDF15 (ng/L): 382.93±159.61 vs. 289.66±158.46, SOFA: 10.00 (7.00, 12.00) vs. 6.00 (5.00, 9.50), APACHEⅡ: 21.70±6.07 vs. 14.85±7.57, all P < 0.05]. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that serum GDF15 was an independent risk factor for the onset of septic cardiomyopathy [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.062, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.011-1.115, P = 0.016]. ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of GDF15 for predicting septic cardiomyopathy was 0.971, the specificity was 100%, and the sensitivity was 90.3%. Conclusion:The serum GDF15 level of patients with septic cardiomyopathy is significantly increased, and GDF15 may be used as an effective biomarker for the early diagnosis of septic cardiomyopathy.
