Objective To assess survival rates and major complications of extremely preterm infants( EPI) discharged from the hospital,in order to provide some evidence for the treatment of such cases in the future. Methods A retrospective study Was performed by revieWing the clinical data of 299 infants at gestational age(GA)﹤28 Weeks Who Were admitted at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit( NICU)of Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology Obstetrics from January 1st 2011 to December 31st,2017. The survival rates and major morbidities of EPI according to different GA Were compared by trend Chi-squaΥe and t test. Results A total of 299 cases of EPI Were included in the study,With a mean GA of 26. 5 Weeks(22 +3 -27 +6 Weeks)and mean birth Weight of 958. 5 g(360-1 550 g). From 2011 to 2017, the number of hospitalized EPI increased gradually( from 21 cases in 2011 to 79 cases in 2017),especially in EPI of loWer GA(GA﹤25 Weeks)Which increased from 4 cases in 2011-2014 to 26 cases in 2015-2017. The rates of sur﹣vival infants With GA﹤28 Weeks Were 78. 6%(235/299 cases),including 18. 2%(2/11 cases)at GA≤23 Weeks, 52. 6%(10/19 cases)at 24 Weeks,75. 8%(25/33 cases)at 25 Weeks,78. 5%(62/79 cases)at 26 Weeks and 86. 6%(136/157 cases)at 27 Weeks,respectively,Which shoWed that survival rates increased With the groWth of GA( χ2 ﹦31. 3,P﹦0. 000). Major morbidities among the survival infants Were severe retinopathy of prematurity(ROP,stageⅢor above according to international classification and received treatment)[16. 2%(38/235 cases)],bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD,supplemental oxygen use at a postmenstrual age of 36 Weeks)[15. 3%(36/235 cases)],late-onset sepsis(LOS)[24. 7%(58/235 cases)],intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH),grade 3 or 4)or periventricular leukoma﹣lacia(PVL)[9. 4%(22/235 cases)],necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC),stage≥Ⅱof Bell,criteria)[3. 0%(7/235 cases)],and decreased With increased gestational age(χ2 ﹦18. 450,19. 773,15. 024,all P﹦0. 000). Rates of ROP, BPD and LOS in EPI With GA﹤25 Weeks Were 41. 7%(5/12 cases),58. 3%(7/12 cases)and 66. 7%(8/12 cases), respectively,Which Were much higher than those of EPI With GA 25-28 Weeks[14. 8%(33/223 cases),13. 0%(29/223 cases),22. 4%(50/223 cases)](all P﹤0. 05). Conclusions From 2011 to 2017,the number of hospitalized EPI increased gradually and the rate of survival rose With every 1-Week increase in GA,While major morbidities Were reduced accordingly. EPI of GA﹤25 Weeks had a greater risk of mortality and major morbidities.

Objective:To investigate the changes in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) characteristics before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:This is a cross-sectional study that included ACS patients who underwent PCI at the General Hospital of the Northern Theater Command from July 2018 to February 2023. Based on the timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients were divided into two groups: the pre-pandemic group and the during-pandemic group, with January 2020 as the dividing line. Clinical data were collected from both groups, and a comparative analysis was performed on their postoperative CPET outcomes, including peak oxygen uptake (peak VO 2), peak metabolic equivalents (peak MET), and other indicators. Weber′s classification was used to assess cardiac function. In addition, the 7-tiem generalized anxiety disorder scale (GAD-7) and the patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to assess the patients′ psychological anxiety and depression states, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of CPET after PCI. Results:A total of 4 310 post-PCI ACS patients were included, with an average age of (58.7±9.1) years, and 3 464 (80.37%) were male. There were 1 698 patients in the pre-pandemic group and 2 612 patients in the during-pandemic group. The main indicator of the CPET, peak VO 2 (15.04±3.93) ml·min -1·kg -1 in the during-pandemic group, was lower than that in the pre-pandemic group (15.52±3.68) ml·min -1·kg -1, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age, female gender, high body mass index, elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, smoking history, history of myocardial infarction, more severe ACS classification, and mild to moderate degree of depression were related to poor cardiopulmonary outcomes ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the cardiopulmonary outcomes of ACS patients after PCI. Reduced physical activity, and increased psychological stress should be given consideration and attention regarding their impact on patients′ cardiopulmonary function.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of not achieving textbook outcome (TO) after laparoscopic radical surgery in patients with malignant pancreatic body and tail tumor, and to establish and evaluate a nomogram for predicting the failure to achieve TO.Methods:The clinical data of 111 patients with malignant pancreatic body and tail tumors undergoing laparoscopic radical surgery in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 44 males and 67 females, aged (53.8±14.7) years. All patients were staged TNM I to II, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ( n=102, 91.9%), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor ( n=5, 4.5%), and pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous tumors ( n=4, 3.6%). The patients were randomly divided into a training set ( n=78) and a test set ( n=33) at a ratio of 7∶3. The 78 patients in the training set were further divided into TO group ( n=28) and control group ( n=50, not achieving TO). Based on the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis of training set, the influencing factors of failure to achieve TO after laparoscopic radical surgery in patients with pancreatic body and tail tumor were analyzed. A nomogram based on the multi-factors were established to predict the failure to achieve TO. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA) were utilized to evaluate the nomogram. Results:There were significant differences in tumor diameter, positive lymph nodes, operation time and CT value of pancreas between the TO and control groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that tumor diameter >4 cm ( OR=9.673, 95% CI: 2.198-42.579), positive lymph node ( OR=5.385, 95% CI: 1.514-19.154), pancreatic CT value ( OR=0.594, 95% CI: 0.392-0.902) were the influencing factors for patients who did not achieve TO (all P<0.05). Based on the results of multiple factors, a nomogram was established to predict the failure to achieve TO after laparoscopic radical surgery. The area under the ROC curve of the nomogram was 0.849 (95% CI: 0.757-0.940) and 0.873 (95% CI: 0.730-1.000) in the training and test sets, respectively. The calibration curve was close to the ideal curve and the predicted results of the nomogram matched well with the actual results. The DCA showed that the nomogram has obvious positive net benefit. Conclusion:The nomogram constructed with tumor diameter > 4 cm, positive lymph nodes and CT value of pancreas for prediction of the patients with pancreatic body and tail malignant tumor after laparoscopic radical surgery did not achieve TO has good performance.
