Objective To summarize continuous veno- venous hemofiltration (CVVH) treatment of infants with complex congenital heart disease in children with acute renal failure after treatment. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in six cases of infants with congenital heart disease with application of CVVH. The children were given monitoring and anticoagulant treatment. The renal function, electrolytes and urine volume were compared before and after the treatment. Results The amount of urine increased, blood circulation and electrolytes remained stable in six patients 17.5-135.0 hours after CVVH. Conclusions The CVVH therapy can be applied to treat infants with congenital heart disease complicated with acute renal failure, but CVVH treatment should focus on anticoagulants and blood volume since complicated state of illness, low age, low body weight of children patients.

Objective:To explore the mediation effect of personality between negative life events and risky mentation of university students.Methods:A cross sectional investigation was conducted among 8 379 freshmen with the adolescent self-rating life events check list (ASLEC), the prodromal questionnaire(PQ-16) and the Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ). The data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 24.0.Results:The total score of negative life events scale((31.16±0.58) vs (15.19±0.15)), the scores of neuroticism((58.20±0.36) vs (41.59±0.13)) and psychoticism((53.07±0.29) vs (47.71±0.08)) in the risk psychological state group were significantly higher ( t=26.611, 42.270, 17.286, all P<0.01), and the score of introversion-extroversion factor was significantly lower((49.83±0.42) vs (55.88±0.13), t=-13.634, P<0.01) than those in the risk-free psychological state group. There was a positive correlation between the scores of risk psychological state and negative life events( r=0.290, 0.334, both P<0.01), and the scores of risk psychological state and negative life events were positively correlated with the scores of personality neuroticism and psychoticism ( r=0.139-0.469, all P<0.01) in both risk psychological state and risk-free psychological state group.The risk psychological state score of college students was negatively correlated with the inside and outside personality score( r=-0.070, P<0.01), and the score of negative life events was not correlated with introversion-extroversion personality score in the risk psychological state group, while the score of risk psychological state, negative life events and introversion-extroversion personality score were negatively correlated in the risk-free psychological state group ( r=-0.177, -0.080, P<0.01). The personality of college students played a complete mediating role between negative life events and risk psychological state in the risk psychological state group, while the personality of college students in the risk-free psychological state group played a partial mediating role between negative life events and risk psychological state, accounted for 71.43% of the total effect. Conclusion:Negative life events not only directly lead to the risky mentation of college students, but also affect the risky mentation of college students by the mediation effect of introverted and extroverted tendency and unstable emotion.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between inherited dysplasminogenemia and cerebral infarction (CI) by phenotype and gene mutation analysis of 2 inherited dysplasminogenemia pedigrees.Methods:Retrospective analysis was carried out on clinical data of 2 patients diagnosed with CI who were treated in the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in January and March 2021, and peripheral venous blood samples were collected from proband 1 and his family members (8 subjects, 4 generations in total) and proband 2 and her family members (5 subjects of 3 generations in total), and their plasminogen (PLG) activity (PLG:A), protein C activity, protein S activity, antithrombin activity and the content of PLG antigen (PLG: Ag), fibrinogen, D-dimer and fibrinogen degradation products were measured for definite diagnosis. All 19 exons,5′ and 3′ untranslated regions of PLG were amplified with polymerase chain reaction, and the amplification products were analyzed by direct DNA sequencing. The results were compared with human PLG reference sequences published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database using Chromas software to find the mutation sites, and confirmed by reverse sequencing.Results:Both of the 2 patients with confirmed CI had a young onset, and PLG: A was reduced to 21% in the proband 1 and to about 50% in 4 family members; PLG: A was reduced to about 50% in the proband 2 and 2 family members; PLG:Ag and the above tests were essentially normal in both probands and family members. Gene analysis showed that the proband 1 had the homozygous mutation of c.1858G>A in exon 15, the 4 family members of the proband 1, proband 2 and her 2 family members had the heterozygous mutation of c.1858G>A in exon 15, which resulted in a mutation of alanine at position 620 in PLG to threonine (p.Ala620Thr).Conclusions:The decrease of PLG:A was caused by the p.Ala620Thr missense mutation of PLG gene. Proband having CI may be related to the inhibition of fibrinolytic function in the organism due to the p.Ala620Thr missense mutation.

Consecutively hospitalized patients with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China were retrospectively enrolled from January 2020 to March 2020 to investigate the association between the use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (RAS-I) and the outcome of this disease. Associations between the use of RAS-I (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)), ACEI, and ARB and in-hospital mortality were analyzed using multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models in overall and subgroup of hypertension status. A total of 2771 patients with COVID-19 were included, with moderate and severe cases accounting for 45.0% and 36.5%, respectively. A total of 195 (7.0%) patients died. RAS-I (hazard ratio (HR)= 0.499, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.325-0.767) and ARB (HR = 0.410, 95% CI 0.240-0.700) use was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality among patients with COVID-19. For patients with hypertension, RAS-I and ARB applications were also associated with a reduced risk of mortality with HR of 0.352 (95% CI 0.162-0.764) and 0.279 (95% CI 0.115-0.677), respectively. RAS-I exhibited protective effects on the survival outcome of COVID-19. ARB use was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality among patients with COVID-19.
