Purpose:
The aim of this study was to assess carotid stiffening in a pre-hypertensive (PHT) population using ultrafast pulse wave velocity (ufPWV).
Methods:
This study retrospectively enrolled 626 individuals who underwent clinical interviews, serum tests, and assessments of the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), pulse wave velocity-beginning of systole (PWV-BS), and pulse wave velocity-end of systole (PWV-ES) between January 2017 and December 2021. The patients were divided into three groups according to their blood pressure (BP)—normal BP (NBP): SBP <130 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg (n=215); PHT: 130 mmHg≤SBP<140 mmHg and/or 80 mmHg≤DBP<90 mmHg (n=119); hypertensive (HT): SBP ≥140 mmHg and/or DBP ≥90 mmHg (n=292). Correlation analyses and comparisons were performed among the groups and in the cIMT subgroups (cIMT ≥0.050 cm and <0.050 cm).
Results:
cIMT and PWV-ES significantly differed among the BP groups (P<0.05). The BP groups had similar PWV-BS when cIMT <0.050 cm or cIMT ≥0.050 cm (all P>0.05). However, the NBP group had a notably lower PWV-ES than the PHT (P<0.001 and P=0.024) and HT (all P<0.001) groups in both cIMT categories, while the PWV-ES in the PHT group were not significantly lower than in the HT group (all P>0.05).
Conclusion
Carotid morphological and biomechanical properties in the PHT group differed from those in the NBP group. ufPWV could be used for an early evaluation of carotid stiffening linked to pre-hypertension.

Objective:To evaluate the risk of infectious complication after endoscopic surgery for the treatment of upper urinary tract calculi combined with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) bacteriuria.Methods:The clinical data of 14 patients who were diagnosed with upper urinary tract calculi combined with CRE bacteriuria and treated in Tsinghua University affiliated Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 7 males and 7 females, aged from 34 to 71 years old (mean 58.2 years old). The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography, CT or abdominal X-ray. Fourteen cases underwent 15 procedures, including 4 RIRS and 11 PCNL. One patient underwent 2 PCNL procedures at an interval of 1 week, and 1 patient underwent PCNL 16 days after nephrostomy. There were 13 cases of renal calculi and 1 case of upper ureteral calculi. Stones were found on the left side in 8 cases and the right side in 6 cases. There were 3 cases of solitary stone, 4 cases of multiple stones and 7 cases of staghorn stone. The maximum diameter of stones was (31.5±10.2)mm in patients who underwent PCNL, and(10.8±2.6)mm in patients undergoing RIRS. The complete blood count, blood biochemistry, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein were tested postoperatively on the same day of the procedure and 1 day after the procedure. Abdominal X-ray was performed 1-2 days postoperatively, and the ureteral stent (double J) was removed 4 weeks after the procedure. Fourteen patients with CRE bacteriuria underwent 15 endoscopic procedures. Urine culture identified 7 cases of Escherichia coli, 6 cases of Klebsiella pneumoniae and 1 case of Enterobacter cloacae. Preoperative blood culture was performed in 3 cases, of which 1 case was negative and 1 case was Klebsiella pneumoniae positive. Before operation, 11 cases were empirical treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics, including monotherapy in 10 cases and drug combination therapy in 1 case. Sensitive antibiotics against CRE were prescribed in 4 cases preoperatively, including monotherapy in 2 cases and drug combination therapy in 2 cases. Antibiotics were used preoperatively for 1-24 days (mean 7.1 days).Results:After the operation, 7 cases received monotherapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Sensitive antibiotics against CRE were prescribed in 4 cases postoperatively, including monotherapy in 4 cases and drug combination in therapy 4 cases. Postoperative antibiotics were used for 2-17 days (mean 6.8 days). There were 3 cases of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after operation, and there were no cases of sepsis, septic shock or death. The main components of stones were ammonium magnesium phosphate hexahydrate in 8 patients and calcium oxalate monohydrate in 6 patients.Conclusions:Effective measures can be taken to reduce or avoid bacteremia caused by CRE, reducing mortality and the use of antibiotics. Endoscopic surgery can be performed only after the clinical symptoms and laboratory tests have significantly improved. Patients with fever and other clinical symptoms and abnormal infectious markers should be treated with targeted antimicrobial therapy.

Purpose:
The present study investigated the association between Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE)-estimated cardiovascular risk and carotid stiffening in a middle-aged population using ultrafast pulse wave velocity (ufPWV).
Methods:
This study enrolled 683 participants without known cardiovascular disease or diabetes mellitus who underwent ufPWV measurements. Clinical interviews, physical examinations, laboratory findings, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), pulse wave velocity (PWV) at the beginning of systole (PWV-BS), and PWV at the end of systole (PWV-ES) were assessed. Each participant underwent an assessment of SCORE risk based on major cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), including age, sex, smoking, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and total cholesterol (TC). Crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals and ordinal logistic regression were used. Overall CVRFs were adjusted to assess ORs.
Results:
cIMT and carotid stiffening in PWV-BS and PWV-ES were significantly different between sex subgroups (all P<0.05), but only PWV-ES increased gradually in age and SCORE-estimated risk subgroups (all P<0.05). Compared with cIMT (r=0.388, P<0.001) and PWV-BS (r=0.159, P<0.001), PWV-ES was more strongly correlated with SCORE categories (r=0.405, P<0.001). Higher PWV-ES values were associated with SCORE categories independently of sex, SBP, TC, and smoking in moderate-risk and high-risk subgroups (OR, 1.63; P<0.001 and OR, 2.12; P=0.024, respectively), but were not independent of age in all risk subgroups (all P>0.05).
Conclusion
Carotid stiffening quantified by ufPWV is linked to SCORE categories, and elevated PWV-ES may aid in cardiovascular risk stratification.

Objective:To study the relationship of pathogenic bacteria in midstream urine culture and stone composition of patients characteristics with infection stones.Methods:Between January 2016 and December 2020, 989 patients with infectious stones who attended Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital, affiliated with Tsinghua University, for surgical treatment were enrolled in the study. There were 545 male and 444 female patients, with the mean age (48±14) years. The left and right side stones were 396 and 333, respectively. There were 260 bilateral stones, 264 single stones, 334 multiple stones, and 391 deer-stalker-shaped stones. The maximum diameter of stones was (33.4±26.5)mm, combined with diabetes in 109 cases and hypertension in 235 cases. Clean middle-urine was collected for bacterial culture, and intraoperative stone specimens were collected by percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Personal characteristics of the patient such as gender, age, body mass index, clinical information such as stone size, location, comorbidities, results of urine culture and stone composition were recorded. The differences of infectious stone composition was analyzed between urease-producing, non-urease-producing bacteria.Results:Among the 989 patients with infectious stones, 259 were pure infectious stones, 131 were mixed infectious stones, and 599 were combined with infectious stone components. Urine cultures were positive in 627(63.4%) patients with infectious stones. The predominant urease-producing bacteria included Ureaplasma urealyticum(94 case), Proteus mirabilis(58 case), and Staphylococcus spp.(36 case). Pure infectious stones were common in Proteus mirabilis, while combined with infectious stone components were common in Ureaplasma urealyticum and Staphylococcus spp. The predominant non-urease-producing bacteria included Escherichia coli(175 case), Enterococcus spp.(76 case) and Streptococcus spp.(35 case). Escherichia coli commonly contained in infectious stone components and pure infectious stones, whereas Enterococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. commonly contained in infectious stone components. Escherichia coli (61 case), Proteus mirabilis (44 case) and Enterococcus spp.(20 case) were the most common bacteria in 259 cases of pure infectious stones. Escherichia coli (36 case), Enterococcus spp. (14 case) and Ureaplasma urealyticum (10 case) were the most common bacteria in 131 cases of mixed infectious stones. The most common bacteria in 599 cases of combined infectious stones were Escherichia coli (78 case), Ureaplasma urealyticum (68 case) and Enterococcus spp. (42 case).Conclusions:Urease producing bacteria were not common in infectious stones. It was common for the Ureaplasma urealyticum in combined infectious stone components, while Escherichia coli was common in pure and combined infectious stone components.

Objective:To compare the consistency of tomographic infrared spectrum analysis with conventional infrared spectrum analysis for the composition analysis of large-volume of urinary stones in vitro.Methods:Postoperative urinary stone specimens collected from 105 patients admitted to Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from January 2019 to June 2021 were analyzed, including 81 (77.14%) kidney stones, 16 (15.24%) ureteral stones, and 8 (7.62%) bladder stones. All stones measured ≥0.8 cm in maximum diameter on preoperative imaging. Eighty-four specimens, which were mainly stone fragments, were collected from percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ureteroscopic lithotripsy. These 84 specimens were analyzed and retested for stone composition using conventional infrared spectrum analysis by random multiple sampling. Other 21 renal stone specimens were obtained by laparoscopic lithotomy or standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy after November 1, 2020. These 21 specimens had a maximum diameter of ≥0.8 cm measured postoperatively. Based on intraoperative observation, stone specimens with typical layered structures were chosed. Then, all 21 samples were analyzed and retested by conventional infrared spectrum analysis and tomographic infrared spectrum analysis, respectively. When using tomographic infrared spectrum analysis, we need to take two maximum cross sections with a vertical spacing of these sections >2 mm, then perform multiple points sampling according to the morphological stratification of the first section. If the section's structure was homogeneous, we equidistantly took 2 to 3 samples from the center to the periphery. Otherwise, every layer needed to take a stone sample according to the stratification. Putting all the results of one section together, we obtained complete tomographic infrared spectrum analysis data. Take another coaxial cross-section of the same specimen for retesting. We recorded the characteristics of the three-dimensional distribution of stone composition in 21 stone specimens. Meanwhile, we compared the consistency of the results of conventional infrared spectrum analysis and tomographic infrared spectrum analysis for the same sample.Results:The consistency rate of the conventional infrared spectrum analysis was 56.19% (59/105), and that of tomographic infrared spectrum analysis was 80.95% (17/21). The difference in consistency between two methods was statistically significant ( χ2=4.447, P=0.035). Among 21 specimens, the consistency rate of conventional infrared spectrum analysis was 38.10% (8/21), which was significantly lower than that of tomographic infrared spectrum analysis ( χ2=7.814, P=0.005). Regarding the characteristics of the three-dimensional distribution of the components, the color and crystal morphology of five common types of stone components were different, and layered structure in the cross-section of the stones were observed. When the calculi were of the same composition, they were displayed in different morphology. We observed a trending change in the composition ratio between sublayers from the center to the edge in some compound-composition stones. Conclusions:For the composition analysis of larger-volume urinary stones, tomographic infrared spectrum analysis showed a higher consistency of retesting than conventional infrared spectrum analysis, and the three-dimensional distribution of stone composition had some characteristic features.
