Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion 2021;34(6):620-623
【Objective】 To analyze the correlation between thromboelastogram(TEG) index and postoperative bleeding in patients underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy, thus providing evidence for clinical treatment and prevention. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 90 patients suffered from percutaneous nephrolithotomy were collected for a retrospective study. According to the presence or absence of bleeding, they were divided into non-bleeding group (n=71) and bleeding group (n=19).1) The clinical data, including gender, age, operation time, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), stone length, stone width, stone CT value, white blood cell count (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (Plt), neutrophil ratio, prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), D2 polymer, procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and TEG indicators (R value, K value, MA value, and angle), of the bleeding group and the non-bleeding group were compared. 2) The risk factors of postoperative bleeding in patients underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy were analyzed. 3) The K, MA, R value, angle and ROC curve of the combined index were analyzed. 【Results】 There was no significant difference in gender, age, operation time, stone length, stone width, WBC, Plt, neutrophil ratio, PT, INR, APTT, R value between the two groups (P>0.05). General data of the two groups, including GFR, CT value of stones, Hb, D2 polymer, PCT, IL-6, K value, MA value, and angle, were statistically different (P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the decrease of Hb and K value, and the increase of angle were independent factors in the prediction of postoperative bleeding in patients underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (P<0.05). Correlation analysis displayed that Hb was positively related to K and R value, and negatively correlated with MA value and angle (r=0.508/0.391/-0.349/-0.548, both P<0.05); ROC curve analysis indicated the AUC of K value: (0.707, P<0.05), 0.416 of Youden index, 89.50% of sensitivity, and 52.10% of specificity; the AUC of MA value: (0.618, P>0.05), 0.303 of Youden index, 89.50% of sensitivity, and 40.80% of specificity; AUC value of angle: (0.720, P<0.05), 0.430 of Youden index, 89.50% of sensitivity, and 53.50% of specificity; AUC of R value: (0.610, P>0.05), 0.377 of Youden index, 84.20% of sensitivity, and 53.50% of specificity; AUC value of the combined index: (0.696, P<0.05), 0.384 of Youden index, 94.70% of sensitivity, and 43.70% of specificity. 【Conclusion】 TEG indicators can assess the coagulation function of patients underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy, predict the risk of postoperative bleeding, and help guide clinical postoperative treatment.

Objective:To establish a novel clinical application process of the optical surface monitoring system (OSMS) in the cranial frameless stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), and to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of the OSMS in the intra-fraction motion monitoring of both cranial phantoms and cranial SRT patients fixed using the Q-Fix encompass immobilization system.Methods:The deviations of OSMS in the real-time motion monitoring were assessed by determining the deviations between the displacement of the cranial SRS phantoms detected by the OSMS and the predefined displacement of the Varian Edge six degrees of freedom (6DoF) couch. The ability of the OSMS to conduct real-time monitoring of the head movement was also analyzed when one camera was blocked by the rotary gantry of the accelerator and when the couch was at non-zero angles. Moreover, ten patients who received 50 fractions of cranial frameless SRT were enrolled in this study. All the patients were fixed using the Q-Fix Encompass system, and their intra-fraction motion was monitored using the OSMS. The intra-fraction errors of OSMS real-time monitoring throughout the treatment were obtained from the OSMS logs. The patients received cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) after the beam delivery, and the six-dimensional errors were obtained as intra-fraction motion errors of the CBCT.Results:For the cranial phantoms, there was a close correlation between the OSMS monitoring deviations and the predefined displacement in six dimensions. The OSMS-detected 3D vector deviations in the translational and rotational directions were (0.28±0.10) mm and (0.15±0.09)°, respectively when the angel both the gantry and couch was 0° and were (0.35±0.13) mm and(0.17±0.09)°, respectively, when one camera was blocked. The OSMS monitoring deviations with the couch at a non-zero degree were greater than those at zero degree. The maximum deviations occurred when the couch was at 270° and were (0.69±0.19) mm and (0.32±0.12)°, respectively, in the translational and rotational directions. For the cranial SRT patients fixed using the Q-Fix Encompass system, the OSMS and CBCT showed comparable intra-fractional motion deviations, which were (0.40±0.26) and (0.29±0.10) mm, respectively in the translational direction and were (0.33±0.20)°and (0.26±0.08)° in the rotational direction.Conclusions:The OSMS is an effective tool for optically guided radiotherapy, which allows for intra-fraction real-time motion monitoring with sub-millimeter accuracy. Therefore, to ensure the accurate preformation of cranial SRS/SRT, it is necessary to conduct the intra-fractional position monitoring using OSMS.
