ObjectiveTo investigate the value of prothrombin time-international normalized ratio to albumin ratio (PTAR) in evaluating the prognosis of patients with decompensated cirrhosis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 172 patients with decompensated cirrhosis who were admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from April 2016 to April 2017, including sex, age, etiology, complications, and first examination of laboratory markers after admission. With death as the outcome event, the patients were divided into survival group with 98 patients and death group with 74 patients according to the outcome of the disease after 2 years of follow-up. The influencing factors for prognosis were analyzed, and the value of PTAR in predicting the prognosis of patients with decompensated cirrhosis were evaluated. The t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed for related variables. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated, and the optimal cut-off value was determined according to the sensitivity and specificity of the ROC curve. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis was performed to compare 2-year survival rate between patients with different values of PTAR, indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes (ICGR15), and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. ResultsCompared with the survival group, the death group had significantly higher PTAR (Z=-7.823, P<0.001), ICGR15 (t=3.458, P=0.001), and MELD score (t=5.921, P<0.001). PTAR, ICGR15, and MELD score had optimal cut-off values of 0.05, 41.00%, and 37.25, respectively, in predicting 2-year prognosis, with AUCs of 0849, 0.651, and 0.724, respectively. The survival analysis showed that the high-PTAR (PTAR≥0.05) group had a significantly lower survival rate than the low-PTAR (PTAR<0.05) group (χ2=60.07, P<0.001). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that PTAR ≥0.05 was an independent risk factor for death within 2 years (hazard ratio = 2.564, 95% confidence interval: 1.276-5.151, P=0.008). ConclusionPTAR ≥0.05 can be used as an independent predictive factor for death within 2 years in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, and PTAR has a relatively high value in predicting the prognosis of patients with decompensated cirrhosis.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness training on the emotional regulation and resilience of college students.Methods:Eighty one college students were recruited and randomly divided into mindfulness training group and control group, of which 74 completed the study (36 in mindfulness training group and 38 in control group). Participants in mindfulness training group received an 8-week mindfulness training, while participants in control group received no intervention. Participants were assessed with the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ, measuring mindfulness level), Profile of Mood State (POMS, measuring emotion) and the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescent(RSCA, measuring resilience) before and after intervention (4 and 8 weeks).Results:Before and after the intervention, the interaction effects of total score of five factors mindfulness, scores of observing, actaware, non-judging, total score of resilience, scores of goal planning, help-seeking and the fatigue score were significant(all P<0.05). There were significant differences in mindfulness level, mood state and resilience scores in mindfulness training group before and after intervention(all P<0.05). There were significant differences of scores of FFMQ , POMS and RSCA post-training compared with baseline( P<0.05). The total score of FFMQ was improved significantly after 4 weeks of intervention ((114.92±11.70) vs(110.36±11.24), P<0.05), while the scores of observing((26.19±5.21) vs(24.00±5.34)), describing((23.36±4.82) vs(21.19±4.76)), non-judging((23.75±4.20) vs(22.06±4.99)) and non-reacting((19.72±3.16) vs(18.58±3.61)) were improved significantly after 8 weeks of intervention. There were significant differences of the scores of fatigue, depression-dejection, panic, vigor-activity and total mood disturbance before and after the intervention in mindfulness training group (all P<0.05). The scores of fatigue((12.31±4.08) vs(13.39±5.12)), panic((12.08±3.57) vs(13.67±4.35)) and total mood disturbance((132.94±17.71) vs(145.75±22.68)) were reduced significantly after 8 weeks of intervention (all P<0.05), while the scores of vigor-activity were improved significantly after 8 weeks of intervention ((18.31±4.61) vs (15.39±4.99), P<0.01). The participants in mindfulness training group got significantly higher total score, scores of goal planning, help-seeking, and affect control of RSCA after intervention compared with baseline (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Mindfulness training can enhance the mindfulness level and resilience of college students, decrease negative affect such as fatigue, depression, panic, and increase positive affect such as activity.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the prospective association between cumulative resting heart rate (cumRHR) and rapid renal function decline (RRFD) in a cohort of individuals aged 60 and older.
METHODS:
In the Tianjin Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort Study, the individuals who underwent three consecutive physical examinations between 2014 and 2017, with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 and aged 60 years or older were enrolled. A total of 27,564 patients were prospectively followed up from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020. The 3-year cumRHR was calculated. The primary outcome was RRFD, defined as an annualized decline in eGFR of 5 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or greater. Logistic and restricted spline regression models and subgroup analysis were used to investigate the association of cumRHR with RRFD after adjusting for all confounders.
RESULTS:
During a median follow-up of 3.2 years, a total of 4,347 (15.77%) subjects developed RRFD. In fully-adjusted models, compared with the lowest quartile of cumRHR, the odds ratio (OR) for the highest was 1.44 (1.28-1.61), P < 0.001. Furthermore, each 1-standard deviation (27.97 beats/min per year) increment in cumRHR was associated with a 17% (P < 0.001) increased risk of RRFD, with a linear positive correlation (P for non-linear = 0.803). Participants with a 3-year cumRHR ≥ 207 (beats/min) * year (equivalent to ≥ 69 beats/min per year in 3 years) were found to be at a higher risk of RRFD.
CONCLUSIONS
The cumRHR is significantly associated with a higher risk of RRFD among older adults. These results might provide an effective goal for managing and delaying the decline of renal function in the older adults.
