Objective To investigate the adjuvant effect of intravenous immunoglobulin on patients with sepsis-associated thrombocytopenia. Methods A total of 229 patients with sepsis with platelet count less than 3 × 109/L, were included in this prospective, randomized, controlled study. The patients were divided into the intervening group and the control group. Conventional treatments were applied in the two both groups , while in the intervening group, intravenous immunoglobulin with a dose of 0.4 g/(kg·d) for 5 consecutive days was administered. The end-points were the platelet counts on day 1,day 3,day 5,and day 7 post-intravenous immunoglobulin, patients’ in-ICU time and the 28-day in-hospital mortality. Results Compared with the control group, the platelet count recovered dramatically after 5-day intravenous immunoglobulin in the intervening group. Moreover , the 28-day in-hospital mortality and in-ICU time were also dramatically improved in the intervening group. Conclusion Intravenous immunoglobulin can enhance the recovery of platelet counts , shorten the in-ICU time and reduce the hospital mortality in patients with sepsis- associated thrombocytopenia (PLT count < 30 × 109/L).

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) for peripheral pulmonary lesions. Methods 200 cases with peripheral pulmonary lesions (0.8 cm < diameter < 4.0 cm) were divided into VBN and control group from June 2014 to June 2015. VBN group: VBN guided ultrafine bronchoscope to the target bronchus, control group: ultrafine bronchoscopy with chest CT as a reference guided to the target bronchus. Results There were no significant differences in the diagnosis rates between VBN group and control group in 200 patients (χ2 = 3.31, P = 0.069); But, the diagnosis rates with diameter more than 2.0 cm and less than or equal to 2.0 cm had statistically significant differences of VBN group and control group (χ2 = 13.45, 5.31, P = 0.000, 0.021, respectively); We also found that the mean time of biopsy tool reach to the lesions had significant differences between the two groups (P = 0.047). There were no significant differences in total checking time and complications (P = 0.230, 0.960, respectively). Conclusions Virtual bronchoscopic navigation did not improve the diagnosis rate of pulmonary peripheral lesions, but shortened the time to locate the lesions.

Objective To investigate the prevalence,characteristics and risk factors of fatigue in a large cohort of subjects with early Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods A total of 391 individuals with PD,recruited in Linzhi trial,were re-screened.Early,non-depressed subjects [Center for epidcmiological survey depression scale (CES-D)<16]underwent further fatigue assessment.Subjects who scored>4 on fatigue severity scale (FSS) were classified as fatigue.Motor symptoms and PD severity were assessed using the unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) and Hoehn-Yahr scale.Other clinical measures,including sleep disorder by Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQ-Ⅰ),mental function by Alzheimer's Disease assessment scale-cognitive sections (ADAS-Cog) and quality of life by medical outcomes study short form 36 (SF- 36) were also evaluated.Results Among 204 subjects who completed fatigue measures,82 (40.2%) were classified as fatigue.The fatigue group had significantly more neurological impairment by higher scores on each subsets of UPDRS including mentation (P<0.05),activities of daily living (P<0.01) and motor (P<0.01),while the subjects with fatigue had worse scores on SF-36 (P<0.01).Multiple regression analyses showed that motor subset of UPDRS was the variable that had the predictive value for FSS score.The full model explained 6.4% of the variance of the FSSscore (β=0.039,95%CI:0.019-0.059).However,other factors,including levodopa dosage,PSQ-Ⅰ,and ADAS-Cog score did not significantly contribute to the model.Conclusions Fatigue is a frequent symptom in carly,non-depressed patients with PD,affecting over 40% of the patients in this cohort.The small correlation between fatigue and motor score,and the lack of association with dosage of dopaminergic treatment suggest that dopaminergic pathways might be only moderately involved in pathogenesis of fatigue.
