Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety in patients with largeartery occlusive acute cerebral infarction who received multi-interventional modes mainly with mechanical thrombectomy and its related factors affecting prognosis. Methods The clinical data of 56 patients with large artery occlusive acute cerebral infarction were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics (gender,age,and underlying diseases),timing of treatment (time from ictus to puncture,time from puncture to recanalization), multi-interventional mode therapies (intra-arterial thrombolysis,thrombectomy,balloon dilation,and stenting, etc. ),and distribution of offending vessels were observed. The modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia Scale (mTICI)grade was used to evaluate revascularization. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)score was used to observe the neurological function at 24 h before and after procedures. The modified Rankin scale (mRS)was used to evaluate the prognosis at 3 months after procedure. The safety of the treatment was evaluated with operative complications (mainly symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage)and mortality. The patients were divided into either a good prognosis group (n = 34;mRS≤2)or a poor prognosis group (n =22;mRS≥3)according to the prognosis at 3 months after procedure. They were analyzed with univariate analysis. The factors influencing the prognosis were further analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results (1)The recanalization rate in 56 patients was 78. 6%(n = 44),in which basilar artery was the highest,reaching 93. 8% (15 / 16),middle cerebral artery was 87. 0% (20 / 23). The NIHSS score at 24 hours was 10 ± 7,it was lower than 16 ± 6 on admission. There was significant difference (t =6. 401,P <0. 01). At 3 months,34 patients (60. 7%)had good prognosis,4 (7. 1%)died,and 8 (14. 3%) had symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. (2)Multiple factor analysis showed that the high level of recanalization was a protective factor for good prognosis (OR,0. 465,95% CI 0. 267 -0. 809,P =0. 007). Diabetes was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis (OR,5. 535,95% CI 1. 101 -27. 835, P = 0. 038). Conclusion Acute large artery occlusive cerebral infarction treated with the intra-arterial multi-interventional modes may quickly and effectively restore intracranial blood flow. It has the characteris-tics of high recanalization rate and good prognosis,and the higher the level of recanalization,the better the prognosis. Diabetes is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of contrast medium on the renal function in patients with cerebrovascular disease accompanied by diabetes mellitus after receiving neuro - interventional therapy. Methods The clinical data of a total of 108 patients with cerebrovascular disease complicated by diabetes mellitus type 2, who were treated with neuro - interventional therapy during the period from March 2013 to March 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. The contrast dose used in interventional procedures was less than 250ml in each patient. The preoperative and 24 h -postoperative serum creatinine (sCr), serum cystatin C (Cys C) levels were determined, and based on the modification of dietary renal disease (MDRD) equation and Larsson equation the estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) were separately calculated. Results Compared with preoperative values, the 24 h - postoperative mean sCr and Cys C levels were increased significantly (P=0. 001, P=0. 015 respectively), while the average eGFR rates were remarkably decreased (P< 0. 000 1 by using MDRD equation, and P=0. 021 by using Larsson equation). No kidney damage that needed to be treated occurred in all patients. Conclusion The contrast dose used in neuro - interventional procedures can cause decline of renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The combined determination of sCr and Cys C levels is helpful for the detection of contrast - induced changes in renal function as early as possible. The use of conventional dose of contrast agent in neuro - interventional procedures is safe for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. (J Intervent Radiol, 2018, 27:277-280)

Objective:To compare the clinical characteristics and analyze the prognostic factors between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and non-HIV-infected immunocompromised patients with pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) complicated with acute respiratory failure (ARF) in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:The clinical data of patients with PCP complicated with ARF admitted in ICU of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and The Sixth People′s Hospital of Zhengzhou City between May 2018 and October 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. All subjects were divided into HIV-infected group and non-HIV-infected immunocompromised group. General characteristics and underlying diseases of patients in the two groups were analyzed. Laboratory parameters, treatment and outcomes between two groups were compared. Independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify the risk factors for the clinical outcome. Results:A total of 129 PCP complicated with ARF patients were enrolled, including 75 HIV-infected patients and 54 non-HIV-infected immunocompromised patients. Only 10.7%(8/75) patients of HIV-infected group received anti-retroviral therapy (ART), but none of the patients in either groups had previously received trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) for PCP prophylaxis. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score of HIV-infected group was 18.7±6.0, which was higher than that in non-HIV-infected immunocompromised group (13.1±4.4) when admitted in ICU ( t=-5.45, P<0.001). Hypoproteinemia was common in both groups. Ninety-six percent (72/75) of HIV-infected patients had CD4 + T lymphocyte counts lower than 200/μL and 84.0%(63/75) of patients had CD4 + T lymphocyte counts even lower than 50/μL, while 5.74%(31/54) of patients in non-HIV-infected immunocompromised group had CD4 + T lymphocyte counts lower than 200/μL. The CD4 + /CD8 + T lymphocyte counts ratio was 0.05(0.02, 0.12) in HIV-infected group, which was lower than that in non-HIV-infected immunocompromised group (0.96(0.64, 1.44)), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-9.16, P<0.001). The length of ICU stay and hospital stay of non-HIV-infected immunocompromised patients were 10.0(7.0, 14.0) days and 18.0(11.8, 32.5) days, respectively, which were both longer than those in HIV-infected patients (7.0(4.0, 9.0) days and 13.0(7.0, 23.0) days, respectively), and the differences were both statistically significant ( Z=-3.58 and -2.73, respectively, both P<0.050). The hospital mortality of HIV-infected patients was 57.3%(43/75), which was significantly higher than that in non-HIV-infected immunocompromised patients (38.9%, 21/54) ( χ2=4.27, P=0.039). Multivariable logistic regression identified that lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP) and APACHE Ⅱ score were the risk factors for the clinical outcome of HIV-infected patients (odds ratio ( OR)= 1.006, 1.015 and 1.736, respectively, all P<0.050). The partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood/fractional concentration of inspiratory oxygen (PaO 2/FiO 2), LDH and CD4 + T lymphocyte counts were the risk factors for the clinical outcome of non-HIV infected immunocompromised patients ( OR=0.970, 1.008 and 0.989, respectively, all P<0.050). Conclusions:PCP patients with ARF are critically ill with high mortality rate. LDH, CRP and APACHEⅡscore are predictors for prognosis of HIV-infected patients with PCP, while PaO 2/FiO 2, LDH and CD4 + T lymphocyte counts are predictors for prognosis of non-HIV infected immunocompromised patients with PCP.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of the combination of abidol, lopinavir/ritonavir plus recombinant interferon α-2b (rIFNα-2b) and the combination of lopinavir/ritonavir plus rIFNα-2b for patients with COVID-19 in Zhejiang province.Methods:A multicenter prospective study was carried out to compare the efficacy of triple combination antiviral therapy and dual combination antiviral therapy in 15 medical institutions of Zhejiang province during January 22 to February 16, 2020. All patients were treated with rIFNα-2b (5 million U, 2 times/d) aerosol inhalation, in addition 196 patients were treated with abidol (200 mg, 3 times/d) + lopinavir/ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) (triple combination group) and 41 patients were treated with lopinavir/ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) (dual combination group). The patients who received triple combination antiviral therapy were further divided into three subgroups: <48 h, 3-5 d and >5 d according the time from the symptom onset to medication starting. The therapeutic efficacy was compared between triple combination group and dual combination group, and compared among 3 subgroups of patients receiving triple combination antiviral therapy. SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results:The virus nucleic acid-negative conversion time in respiratory tract specimens was (12.2±4.7) d in the triple combination group, which was shorter than that in the dual combination group [(15.0±5.0) d] ( t=6.159, P<0.01). The length of hospital stay in the triple combination group [12.0 (9.0, 17.0) d] was also shorter than that in the dual combination group [15.0 (10.0, 18.0) d] ( H=2.073, P<0.05). Compared with the antiviral treatment which was started within after the symptom onset of in the triple combination group, the time from the symptom onset to the viral negative conversion was 13.0 (10.0, 17.0), 17.0 (13.0, 22.0) and 21.0 (18.0, 24.0) d in subgroups of 48 h, 3-5 d and >5 d, respectively ( Z=32.983, P<0.01), while the time from antiviral therapy to viral negative conversion was (11.8±3.9), (13.5±5.1) and (11.2±4.3) d, respectively( Z=6.722, P<0.05). Conclusions:The triple combination antiviral therapy of abidol, lopinavir/litonavir and rIFNα-2b shows shorter viral shedding time and shorter hospitalization time, compared with the dual combination antiviral therapy; and the earlier starting triple combination antiviral therapy will result in better antiviral efficacy.
