Objective:To observe the relationship between pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and acute renal injury (AKI) and prognosis after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) heart surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 9 860 patients who underwent CPB heart surgery in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether AKI occurred after operation. The clinical data were obtained from hospital information system (HIS) and DoCare including general information, types of operation, preoperative complication, ejection fraction, serum creatinine (SCr), PASP, intraoperative CPB duration, aortic occlusion duration, fluid balance, blood products and drug usage, postoperative mechanical ventilation duration, length of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay, and perioperative central venous pressure (CVP). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of AKI after operation. According to the preoperative PASP level, the patients were divided into ≥ 60 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) group and < 60 mmHg group, and the incidence of AKI and prognosis after operation were compared between the two groups. All patients were followed up by telephone after discharge, and they were divided into survival group and death group according to the follow-up results, and the clinical data were compared between the two groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of long-term prognosis. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the long-term prognosis of two groups with different preoperative PASP levels.Results:6 285 patients were enrolled in the final analysis. ① Among the 6 285 patients, 2 592 patients (41.2%) suffered from AKI after operation, of whom 1 697 (65.5%) were stage 1 according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), which was the main type of AKI. Univariate analysis showed that age, preoperative ejection fraction, SCr, PASP, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, intraoperative CPB duration, aortic occlusion duration, fluid balance, red blood cell input and norepinephrine, dopamine, epinephrine dosage, postoperative mechanical ventilation duration, the length of ICU and hospital stay, and perioperative CVP might be the risk factors of AKI after operation. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative PASP was one of independent risk factors for AKI in patients undergoing CPB heart surgery [odds ratio ( OR) = 4.753, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.328-8.417, P = 0.004]. The incidence of AKI after operation in PASP ≥ 60 mmHg group was significantly higher than that in < 60 mmHg group [73.8% (712/965) vs. 35.3% (1 880/5 320), P < 0.01]. ② After a follow-up of (11±3) months, 237 patients (3.8%) died in 6 285 patients. The mortality of patients in PASP ≥ 60 mmHg group was significantly higher than that in < 60 mmHg group [9.5% (92/965) vs. 2.7% (145/5 320), P < 0.01]. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in cumulative survival rate (Log-Rank test: χ2 = 144.400, P < 0.001). Univariate analysis showed that male, age, preoperative hypertension, ejection fraction, PASP, intraoperative CPB duration, aortic occlusion duration, fluid balance, epinephrine dosage, postoperative mechanical ventilation duration, the length of ICU and hospital stay, and perioperative CVP might be risk factors for long-term death of patients undergoing CPB heart surgery. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that for every 1 mmHg increase in preoperative PASP, the long-term mortality increased by 1.126 times [hazard ratio ( HR) = 1.126, 95% CI was 1.003-1.604, P = 0.021]. Conclusion:The increase of PASP is related to AKI after CPB heart surgery, which is an independent risk factor for long-term mortality.

Objective:To assess the performance of Al 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-BCH PET/CT in the detection and localization of early recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. Methods:From July 2021 to July 2022, a cohort of 51 patients (age: 49-80(64.8±6.9) years) who underwent Al 18F-PSMA-BCH for biochemical recurrence with the prostate specific antigen (PSA) level less than 2 μg/L in Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were stratified into 4 groups (PSA<0.2 μg/L, 0.2 μg/L≤PSA<0.5 μg/L, 0.5 μg/L≤PSA<1 μg/L, 1 μg/L≤PSA<2 μg/L groups) according to different PSA levels. Lesions detected by Al 18F-PSMA-BCH PET/CT were recorded as prostate bed (including bed of seminal vesicles); pelvic, paraaortic, mediastinal/supraclavicular and axillary lymph nodes; bone lesions and visceral lesions. The detection rates among different groups were compared by Fisher exact test. Results:Of 51 patients, 30(58.8%) had evidence of abnormal uptake suggestive of recurrent prostate cancer, with 60.0%(18/30) had disease confined to the pelvis, including 26.7%(8/30) had prostate bed recurrence, 26.7%(8/30) had pelvic lymph nodes, 6.6%(2/30) had prostate bed recurrence with pelvic lymph nodes, while 40.0%(12/30) had extra pelvic disease. The detection rates of Al 18F-PSMA-BCH PET/CT in PSA<0.2 μg/L, 0.2 μg/L≤PSA<0.5 μg/L, 0.5 μg/L≤PSA<1 μg/L and 1 μg/L≤PSA<2 μg/L groups were 39.1%(9/23), 6/11, 8/9 and 7/8, respectively. There were no significant differences of detection rates between PSA<0.2 μg/L group and 0.2 μg/L≤PSA<0.5 μg/L group ( P=0.397) and also between 0.5 μg/L≤PSA<1 μg/L group and 1 μg/L≤PSA<2 μg/L group ( P=0.929). Conclusion:Al 18F-PSMA-BCH has a high detection rate for early recurrent prostate cancer, even at low PSA levels less than 0.2 μg/L.

BACKGROUND: Stroke is the leading cause of death in China, and predicting the stroke burden could provide essential information guiding the setting of medium- and long-term health policies and priorities. The study aimed to project trends associated with stroke burden in China through 2050, not only in terms of incidence and mortality but also for prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). METHODS: Data on stroke rates in incidence, prevalence, deaths, and DALYs in China between 1990 and 2019 were obtained from a recent Global Burden of Disease study. Demographic-specific trends in rates over time were estimated using three models: the loglinear model, the Lee-Carter model, and a functional time series model. The mean absolute percentage error and the root mean squared error were used for model selection. Projections up to 2050 were estimated using the best fitting model. United Nations population data were used to project the absolute numbers through 2050. RESULTS: From 2019 to 2050, the crude rates for all measures of the stroke burden are projected to increase continuously among both men and women. We project that compared with those in 2019, the incidence, prevalence, deaths, and DALYs because of stroke in China in 2050 will increase by 55.58%, 119.16%, 72.15%, and 20.04%, respectively; the corresponding increases in number were 2.19, 34.27, 1.58, and 9.21 million. The age-standardized rate is projected to substantially decline for incidence (8.94%), death (40.37%), and DALYs (43.47%), but the age-standardized prevalence rate is predicted to increase by 10.82%. By 2050, the burden of stroke among the population aged ≥65 years will increase significantly: by 104.70% for incidence, by 218.48% for prevalence, by 100.00% for death, and by 58.93% for DALYs. CONCLUSIONS With the aging population in China increasing over the next three decades, the burden of stroke will be markedly increased. Continuous efforts are needed to improve stroke health care and secondary prevention, especially for older adults.
