Objective To explore the relevant factors affecting pulmonary function in patients with bronchiectasis.Methods The patients diagnosed with bronchiectasis in Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University from January 1,2017 to December 31,2019 were selected.Baseline data including demographic information,medical history,clinical manifestations,laboratory indicators,pulmonary function(spirometry and diffusing capacity),chest high-resolution computed tomography(HRCT),and treatment information.Patients were divided into different groups according to different grades of the percentage of predicted value of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1％pred)and the percentage of predicted value of diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide of lung(DLCO％pred),and the clinical characteristics,laboratory indicators were compared among the different groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors affecting pulmonary function.Results 160 patients were included.There were statistically significant differences in the number of acute exacerbations past 1 year,number of involved lung lobes on CT images,Reiff score,clinical symptoms,positive proportion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in sputum culture,24-hour sputum volume,and white blood cell count in patients with different FEV1％pred or DLCO％pred grades(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher COPD assessment test(CAT score;OR=1.170,95％CI 1.059-1.293,P＜0.01),higher Reiff score(OR=1.541,95％CI 1.236-1.920,P＜0.01),Pseudomonas aeruginosa positive(OR=8.166,95％CI 1.727-38.623,P＜0.01)and disease duration≥ 10 years(OR=4.933,95％CI 1.371-17.753,P＜0.05)were independent risk factors of FEV1％pred＜50％;higher CAT score(OR=1.083,95％CI 1.003-1.169,P＜0.05)and the number of lobe involved on CT images ≥3(OR=3.914,95％CI 1.316-11.646,P＜0.05)were independent risk factors of DLCO％pred＜80％.Conclusion The longer disease duration,higher Reiff score,more lobes involved,the more severe the pulmonary function damage in bronchiectasis patients.

Objective To investigate the endoscopic prevalence of erosive esophagitis (EE) among 13 hospitals in Guangdong province of China. Methods Retrospectively reviewed all the cases (63459 cases) that received oesophagogastrodeuodenoscopy in 13 main hospitals in Guangdong province of China in 2003. Los Angeles criteria for classification of erosive esophagitis were employed as the basis of analysis. Results One thousand two hundreds and sixty-three patients (age range 3-90yr, mean 50. 2 ?17. 1 ) were found to have EE. The overall prevalence of EE was 1. 99% (1263/63459). The prevalence of EE in A, B, C, and D grade were 0. 94% , 0. 69% , 0. 21% and 0. 14% respectively. Age correlated positively on endoscopic grading of EE (F=22. 932, P

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), and to explore the risk factors leading to poor prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 95 patients with ECPR admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the survival status at the time of discharge, the patients were divided into the survival group and death group. The difference of clinical data between the two groups was compared to explore the risk factors related to death and poor prognosis. Risk factors associated with death were identified by Binary Logistic regression analysis. Results:A total of 95 patients with ECPR were included in this study, 62 (65.3%) died and 33 (34.7%) survived at discharge. Patients in the death group had longer low blood flow time [40 (30, 52.5) min vs. 30 (24.5, 40) min ] and total cardiac arrest time[40 (30, 52.5) min vs. 30(24.5, 40) min], shorter total hospital stay [3 (2, 7.25) d vs. 19 (13.5, 31) d] and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assisted time [26.5 (17, 50) h vs. 62 (44, 80.5) h], and more IHCA patients (56.5% vs. 33.3%) and less had spontaneous rhythm recovery before ECMO (37.1% vs. 84.8%). Initial lactate value [(14.008 ± 5.188) mmol/L vs.(11.23 ± 4.718) mmol/L], APACHEⅡ score [(30.10 ± 7.45) vs. (25.88 ± 7.68)] and SOFA score [12 (10.75, 16) vs. 10 (9.5, 13)] were higher ( P< 0.05). Conclusions:No spontaneous rhythm recovery before ECMO, high initial lactic acid and high SOFA score are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ECPR patients.
