OBJECTIVETo establish a prognostic model for predicting extracorporeal circulation clotting in patients with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).

METHODS425 patients with CRRT were involved in the study. We built a predictive risk model of extracorporeal blood clotting with the 302 participants, and 103 participants were used to validate the model. The primary endpoint of CRRT was extracorporeal circulation pipe blockage.

RESULTSWe used a score of 0-5 point evaluating system to predict the risk of 24 hours CRRT integral model of cardiopulmonary bypass clogging. The area under the CRRT predictive model of cardiopulmonary bypass clogging integral system ROC curve was 0.790 (95% CI 0.719-0.826) (P<0.001). The evaluating system can determine the blockage of 24 hours CRRT extracorporeal circulation. The results showed that CRRT extracorporeal plugging prediction fitted the integral model and could predict the chance of plugging. The actual plugging rate showed no significant difference from the predicted rate (R² = 0.301, P=0.232). The cardiopulmonary pipe survival time between the 3 groups(low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk) showed a significant difference (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONWe established a continuity extracorporeal blood purification plugging risk score model, to predict plugging risks during CRRT treatment.

Present study aimed to investigate the eff ect of curcumin-pretreatment on intestinal I/R injury and on intestinal mucosa barrier. Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into: sham, I/R, and curcumin groups (n=10). Animals in curcumin group were pretreated with curcumin by gastric gavage (200 mg/kg) for 2 days before I/R. Small intestine tissues were prepared for Haematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) staining. Serum diamine oxidase (DAO) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha levels were measured. Expression of intestinal TNF-alpha and tight junction protein (ZO-1) proteins was detected by Western blot and/or immunohistochemistry. Serum DAO level and serum and intestinal TNF-alpha leves were signifi cantly increased after I/R, and the values were markedly reduced by curcumin pretreatment although still higher than that of sham group (p<0.05 or p<0.001). H&E staining showed the significant injury to intestinal mucosa following I/R, and curcumin pretreatment signifi cantly improved the histological structure of intestinal mucosa. I/R insult also induced significantly down-regulated expression of ZO-1, and the eff ect was dramatically attenuated by curcumin-pretreatment. Curcumin may protect the intestine from I/R injury through restoration of the epithelial structure, promotion of the recovery of intestinal permeability, as well as enhancement of ZO-1 protein expression, and this eff ect may be partly attributed to the TNF-alpha related pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) combined with suction curettage for mass-type cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and to analyze the influencing factors of vaginal bleeding and readmission.Methods:From January 2014 to December 2020, 88 patients with mass-type CSP were treated by FUAS combined with suction curettage in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The clinical results and the influencing factors of bleeding and readmission for mass-type CSP were analyzed.Results:All the patients underwent one time FUAS treatment successfully. Immediately after FUAS treatment, color Doppler ultrasound showed obvious necrosis and no perfusion area in all lesions, and the blood flow in the mass-type CSP tissue significantly decreased. The median volume of blood loss in the procedure was 20 ml (range: 5-950 ml). Thirteen patients (15%, 13/88) had vaginal bleeding≥200 ml, and 15 patients (17%, 15/88) were hospitalized again. The average time for menstruation recovery was (28±8) days (range: 18-66 days). The average time needed for serum human chorionic gonadotropin-beta subunit to return to normal levels was (22±6) days (range: 7-59 days). The risk of large vaginal bleeding of patients were related to the blood supply of the mass ( OR=5.280, 95% CI: 1.335-20.858, P=0.018) and the largest diameter of the mass ( OR=1.060, 95% CI: 1.010-1.120, P=0.030). The risk of readmission were related to the largest diameter of the mass ( OR=1.055, 95% CI: 1.005-1.108, P=0.030) and the depth of the uterus cavity ( OR=1.583, 95% CI: 1.015-2.471, P=0.043). No serious complications such as intestinal and nerve injury occurred during and after FUAS treatment. Conclusions:FUAS combined with suction curettage is safe and effective in treating patients with mass-type CSP through this preliminary study. The volume of vaginal bleeding are associated with the blood supply of the mass and the largest diameter of the mass, the risk of readmission are related to the largest diameter of the mass and the depth of the uterus cavity.

Literature analysis,expert consultation,case analysis and other methods were used to establish a public hospital specialty operation evaluation system suitable for high-quality development,including 2 first-level indicators of medical ability and economic operation and 13 second-level indicators.Urology surgery in the pilot hospital was taken as an example to carry out surgical operation effect evaluation.To strengthen the evaluation of public hospital specialized operation,it should pay attention to the evaluation of medical capacity,strengthen the cooperation of functional departments,and improve the supporting policies of operation,for better promoting the development of high-quality operation of hospitals.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of endoscopic surgery for maxillary sinus inverted papilloma.

METHODSFrom 2000 to 2011, 50 patients with maxillary sinus inverted papilloma were treated with intranasal endoscopic surgery or combined approach. Among them, 39 cases were primary and 11 cases were recurrent, which included 17 patients with Krouse stage IIand 33 cases with Krouse stage III. Different surgical approaches were selected according to the range and positions of the lesions. One case with severe atypical hyperplasia received postoperative radiotherapy.

RESULTSAll cases were followed up for 3-14 years, 7 cases recurred. All occurrence within 2 years after operation. Malignant change and death was found in 1 case. After operation, epiphora occurred in 2 cases, maxillary sinus labiogingival groove fistula occurred in 2 cases, facial numbness occurred in 4 cases and incision hemorrhage occurred in 1 case. All the complications were cured after appropriate treatment.

CONCLUSIONSNaso-endoscopic surgery or combined approach is a safe, effective and microinvasive treatment for patients with maxillary sinus inverted papilloma. Accurate selection of suitable approach according to the range and positions of the lesions and correct management of the base of the tumor are critical to the success of the operation.
