Chinese Journal of Interventional Imaging and Therapy 2019;16(9):555-559
Objective: To compare the detection rate of prostate cancer (PCa) of transrectal and transperineal biopsy. Methods: Totally 128 patients with first time diagnosed PCa were enrolled, including 62 patients in transrectal approach group and 66 patients in transperineal approach group. The detection rate of PCa and clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa) of biopsy in patients with different total prostate specific antigen (TPSA) levels were compared between two approaches. Among them, 104 cases (42 cases in transrectal approach group and 62 cases in transperineal approach group) underwent CEUS on the basis of routine ultrasound examination, while 83 cases (28 cases in transrectal approach group and 55 cases in transperineal approach group) underwent targeted puncture. The detection rate of PCa and CsPCa of systematic puncture and targeted puncture were compared between the two groups. Results: The detection rate of PCa and CsPCa was 35.48% (22/62) and 25.81% (16/62) in transrectal approach group, 42.42% (28/66) and 28.79% (19/66) in transperineal approach group (P=0.471, 0.676). There was no significant difference in detection rates of PCa and CsPCa between the two approaches at different TPSA levels (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in PCa detection rates (35.48% [22/62] vs 40.91% [27/66]; P=0.587), positive needle number/total times (14.25% [106/744] vs 14.52% [115/792]; P=0.879) nor CsPCa detection rates (25.81% [16/62] vs 28.79% [19/66]; P=0.676) between the two approaches. There were significant differences in PCa detection rates (35.71% [10/28] vs 14.55% [8/55]; P=0.002) and positive needle number/total times (30.77% [24/78] vs 6.76% [10/148]; P<0.001) between the two approaches. Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the detection rate of PCa and CsPCa between transrectal and transperineal approaches in ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. CEUS can guide targeted prostate biopsy. Choosing the same patient position and anatomical section as CEUS can improve the detection rate of prostate cancer of biopsy.

Objective To explore the effect of giving sedatives according to the circadian rhythm in prevention of occurrence of delirium and the prognosis of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods A prospective double-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. The patients admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from July 2014 to February 2015, undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation over 12 hours were enrolled. All the patients were given fentanyl for analgesia, and they were randomly divided into simulated circadian clock group (study group, n = 35) and non-simulated circadian clock group (control group, n = 35). The patients in each group were subdivided into three subgroups according to the kinds of sedative drugs, namely dexmedetomidine group (n = 8), propofol group (n = 14), and dexmedetomidine combined with propofol group (combination group, n = 13). Visual analogue scale (VAS) standard and Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS) were used to control the analgesic and to quantify the depth of sedation by titrating the dose of sedative drugs, the simulated circadian clock was set to control the RASS score at 0-1 during the day, and -1 to -2 at night in study group. The RASS score in the control group was set at -1 to -2 day and night. The urine 6-hydroxy acid melatonin (aMT6s) levels at different time points in the first diurnal rhythm (06:00, 12:00, 18:00, 24:00) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The incidence of delirium, severe hypotension, severe bradycardia and other adverse reactions, duration of mechanical ventilation and the time of extubation, length of ICU stay, amount of sedative and analgesic drugs used were recorded. The correlation between delirium and other indexes was analyzed by using Spearman correlation analysis. Results ① There were no significant differences in gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score among groups. ② Urine aMT6s levels did not show circadian rhythm in both groups, aMT6s level at 06:00 in study group showed an increasing tendency as compared with the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant. ③ Compared with the control group, the incidence of delirium was significantly lowered in the study group (14.3% vs. 37.1%, P = 0.029), but no significant differences were found in the incidence of severe hypotension or severe bradycardia (20.0% vs. 25.7%, 11.4% vs. 20.0%, both P > 0.05). In simulated circadian clock group, the incidence of delirium in dexmedetomidine group was significantly lower than that of the propofol group (6.3% vs. 32.1%, P < 0.05). ④ Compared with control group with the same sedative, the duration of mechanical ventilation, extubation time, length of ICU stay were significantly shortened, and the dosage of sedative drugs used was reduced in study group (all P < 0.05). In simulated circadian clock group, the duration of mechanical ventilation in dexmedetomidine group was significantly shorter than that of propofol group and combination group (hours: 75.75±26.78 vs. 102.00±26.31 and 100.31±25.38, both P < 0.05), and the length of ICU stay was significantly shorter than that of propofol group (days: 5.75±1.04 vs. 7.00±1.52, P < 0.05). ⑤ The occurrence of delirium was positively correlated with duration of mechanical ventilation (r = 0.705), extubation time (r = 0.704), length of ICU stay (r = 0.666, all P = 0.000), and no correlation was found between the occurrence of delirium and aMT6s level at 06:00, 12:00, 18:00, and 24:00 (r = -0.135, r = 0.163, r = 0.269, r = -0.077, all P > 0.05). Conclusions Administration of sedatives according to simulating circadian time could decrease the duration of mechanical ventilation, extubation time, and the length of ICU stay, decrease the dosage of sedative drugs, and reduce the incidence of delirium. Dexmedetomidine could reduce the incidence of delirium, and improve the prognosis of patients. Trial registration Registration of clinical trials in China, ChiCTR-IPR-15006644.

Objective To systematical evaluate the effect of Xuebijing injection in the treatment of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).Methods With the keywords including Xuebijing, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction and multiple organ failure, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biology Medicine (CBM), VIP and Wanfang Data from the database start until March 4th, 2018 were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to Xuebijing injection combined conventional treatment versus conventional treatment alone for MODS. The control group received conventional western medicine treatment, including etiological treatment, antibiotics, mechanical ventilation, nutritional support, and comprehensive treatment to maintain fluid, electrolyte, acid and alkali balance. The experimental group was given traditional western medicine combined with Xuebijing injection. The observation parameters included 7-day and 28-day mortality, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) and Marshall score, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), the number of platelets, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT). According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two evaluators independently screened the literature, extracted data and evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies. RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta analysis. Funnel plot was used to analyze publication bias.Results A total of 35 RCTs and 2131 patients were enrolled, including 1076 in the experimental group and 1055 in the control group. The results of Meta analysis showed that compared with control group, Xuebijing combined conventional treatment was in favor to decrease the mortality of patients with MODS [7-day mortality: odds ratio (OR) = 0.42, 99% confidence interval (99%CI) = 0.26-0.69,P < 0.00001; 28-day mortality:OR= 0.31, 99%CI= 0.21-0.45,P < 0.00001], also could obviously reduce critical condition degree of APACHE Ⅱ score and the organ function of Marshall score [APACHEⅡ: mean difference (MD) =3.24, 99%CI = 2.00-4.49,P < 0.00001; Marshall score:MD = 1.95, 99%CI = 0.50-3.40,P = 0.0005]. Meanwhile, the results of conventional western medicine combined with Xuebijing in the removal of IL-6 and TNF-α, platelets increase and improvement of PT were better than those of conventional western medicine (IL-6:MD = 5.56, 99%CI = 1.44-9.68, P = 0.0005; TNF-α:MD = 4.97, 99%CI = 3.44-6.50,P < 0.00001; platelets:MD = -50.79, 99%CI = -74.84 to -26.74, P < 0.0001; PT:MD = 4.55, 99%CI = 3.96-5.14,P < 0.00001), however, there was no obvious advantage in improving APTT (MD = 0.96, 99%CI = -5.08-7.00,P = 0.68). The analysis of funnel map showed that the effect points of various studies were mainly centered on the amount of combined effect, and the "inverted funnel" type was generally symmetrical distribution. However, because the number of the included studies was less, the literature bias could not be completely eliminated.Conclusion Xuebijing injection may through its strong cytokines clearance, platelet increase and blood coagulation improvement to protect the organ function in patients with MODS, so as to reduce the mortality and improve the prognosis.

Objective:To establish a machine learning model for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer based on transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasound parameters and clinically relevant data.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 151 patients in Chongqing University Cancer Hospital who underwent transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsy from November 2018 to September 2021. The time intensity curve was drawn using VueBox software and 12 parameters such as rise time, peak time, average transit time, peak intensity, and rising slope were quantitatively analyzed. Age, total prostate-specific antigen, free prostate-specific antigen, free prostate-specific antigen ratio, volume, prostate-specific antigen density, and transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasonography parameters, a total of 18 characteristic parameters, were analyzed and screened through relevant attribute values and information gain attribute values. The screening features were trained and tested by the machine learning single algorithm and integrated algorithm, and then the model was evaluated by the F1 value and the area under the ROC curve(AUC).Results:Using the related attribute value and the information gain attribute value, 12 variables and 5 variables were screened out respectively to establish a machine learning model. The model established by the ensemble algorithm was better than the single algorithm. For the two variable selection methods, the AUC (0.810 vs 0.789) and F1 values (0.748 vs 0.742) of the Bagging ensemble algorithm model, which basic algorithm was decision tree, were the highest, followed by Logistic regression and support vector machine(SVM) in order of AUC and F1 values.Conclusions:Based on transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasound parameters and clinical data, the Bagging ensemble model based on decision tree has the best performance in diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer.
