Objective:To observe and preliminary investigate the influencing factors of exudative retinal detachment in patients with severe preeclampsia (S-PE) and its influence on pregnancy outcome.Methods:A total of 89 patients of S-PE patients diagnosed in Department of Obstetrics in The Third Central Hospital of Tianjin from July 2018 to June 2020 were included in this study. According to whether the patients were complicated with exudative retinal detachment, they were divided into retinal detachment group (43 cases) and non retinal detachment group (46 cases). All patients underwent direct ophthalmoscopy, and those with suspected or definite retinal detachment underwent optical coherence tomography or B-mode ultrasonography. The age, course of disease, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, laboratory serum albumin level, 24 h urinary protein, platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width and serum uric acid content were collected. The average age ( t=-1.01), body mass index ( t=-1.799), course of disease ( t=-1.657) and constituent ratio of primipara and multipara in the two groups were compared ( χ2=1.411), the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The end of pregnancy time, systemic complications, fetal outcomes and neonatal Apgar scores were analyzed, retrospectively. Independent sample t test was used to compare the quantitative data between the two groups; Chi square test was used to compare qualitative data. Binary logistic regression analysis to screen the influencing factors of exudative retinal detachment in S-PE. Results:Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were higher in the retinal detachment group than in the non retinal detachment group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.087, 2.810; P=0.040, 0.006). Serum albumin ( t=-10.404), 24-hour urinary protein quantification ( t=6.401), blood uric acid ( t=3.910), platelet count ( t=-6.124) and platelet distribution width ( t=2.992) were compared between the two groups, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were 30 (69.77%, 30/43) cases in retinal detachment group and 14 (30.43%, 14/46) cases in non retinal detachment group with severe systemic complications; The average time of ending pregnancy was 34.66±3.29 and 38.25±1.62 weeks; The average Apgar scores at birth were 7.28±3.40 and 9.46±1.59. The incidence of severe systemic complications in two groups ( χ2=13.755), the end of pregnancy time ( t=-6.448), Apgar score at birth ( t=-3.824), the differences were statistically significant ( P=0.000、0.000、0.000). Fetal distress and death were 8 (18.60%, 8/43), 7 (16.28%, 7/43) and 7 (15.22%, 7/46), 1 (2.17%, 1/46) in retinal detachment group and non retinal detachment group respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of fetal distress between the two groups ( χ2=0.182, P=0.670). The difference of fetal mortality was statistically significant ( P= 0.027). Logistic regression analysis showed that serum albumin and uric acid were associated with exudative retinal detachment in patients with S-PE ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum albumin and uric acid are the influencing factors of exudative retinal detachment in patients with S-PE. Patients with exudative retinal detachment are prone to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the prognostic factors related to the severity of acute pancreatitis and to establish the multiple predictor models of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) in elderly patients. Methods: Clinical data of 146 consecutive elderly patients who met the inclusion criteria between January 2014 and May 2017 at Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were retrospectively collected and analyzed, wherein 88 cases were mild acute pancreatitis, 29 cases were moderately severe acute pancreatitis and 29 cases were SAP. The patients data were subjected to univariate analysis and multiple classified Logistic regression analysis for independent prognostic factors of the severity of acute pancreatitis in elderly patients. Unweighted predictive score(unwScore) and weighted predictive score(wScore)for SAP in elderly patients were established according which the receiver-operating characteristic(ROC) curves of independent prognostic factors and predictor models were produced. The cutoff values of independeut prognostic factors and predictor models were determined. The area under the curve, the sensitivity, the specificity, the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value to verify the predictive efficiency of the independent prognostic factors and predictor models were calculated.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of PCT for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) in advance.Methods Clinical data of 62 consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD) and 19 consecutive patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy (DP) between Apr 2016 and Apr 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Patients with PD and DP were divided into pancreatic fistula group (12 cases,3 cases),and non-pancreatic fistula group (50 cases,16 case).The PCT,CRP and WBC count levels of preoperative and postoperative day 1,3,5 (POD1,POD3,POD5) were compared between two groups.The data were subjected to independent sample t-test,Mann-Whitney rank sum test,x2 test or Fisher exact test.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn and area under curve (AUC) was calculated to determine the cutoff value,sensitivity and specificity.Results For PD and DP patients,there were no significant difference on age,gender,BMI,diabetes,obstructive jaundice,preoperative laboratory test,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,tumor type between the two groups,which were comparable.For PD patients,postoperative hyperglycemia rate,postoperative ICU admission rate and total hospital stay of pancreatic fistula group were significantly higher than those of non-pancreatic fistula group (P =0.011,P =0.023,P ＜0.001).The PCT levels of POD1,POD3 and POD5 of pancreatic fistula group were significantly higher than those of non-pancreatic fistula group (P ＜ 0.001,P =0.010,P =0.002).PCT of POD1 had the highest sensitivity (100％) and specificity (80％) and PCT ＞0.76 μg/L was the risk factor for POPF.For DP patients,the PCT levels of POD1,POD3 and POD5 had the same predictive value for pancreatic fistula.Conclusion PCT has early predictive value for POPF of PD patients.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of death and to establish an early multi-index predictive model for mortality moderately of severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in elderly patients.Methods Clinical data of 58 digible elderly patients of MSAP and SAP between January 2014 and May 2017 in First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were analyzed retrospectively,including 18 cases (31.0％) in the death group and 40 cases in the control group (69.0％).Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to screen out the independent risk factors related to death,combined with these independent risk factors,the unweighted predictive model (unwScore) and weighted predictive model (wScore) for mortality were established.The receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves of independent risk factors and predictive models were drawn to determine the cut-off value,to calculate the area under the curve (AUC),sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value and to observe the clinical predictive effectiveness.Student's t-test was used to analyze continuous variables that complied with a normal distribution expressed as ((x) ± s).Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze abnormally distributed variables expressed as median (quartile range) [M(P25,P75)].chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was used to analyze categorical data expressed by rate (％).Univariate analysis was used to screen out data with statistically significant difference,and then Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in pro-calcitonin,serum albumin (ALB),serum calcium,D-dimers,mean arterial pressure,pleural effusion and peritoneal effusion between the two groups (P ＜0.05);multivariate analysis showed that ALB,pleural effusion and peritoneal effusion were independent risk factors for mortality of MSAP,SAP in early patients,which AUC were 0.815,0.678,0.696,sensitivity were 0.611,0.556,0.667,specificity were 0.825,0.800,0.725,the positive predictive values were 61.1％,55.6％,52.2％,and the negative predictive values were 82.5％,80.0％,89.9％,respectively.The AUC of unwScore and wScore were 0.852 and 0.863,the sensitivity were 0.667 and 0.778,the specificity were O.875 and 0.800,the positive predictive values were 70.6％ and 63.6％,and the negative predictive values were 85.4％ and 88.9％,respectively.Conclusion ALB,pleural effusion and peritoneal effusion were independent risk factors for mortality of MSAP,SAP in elderly patients.The multi-index predictive model had good clinical predictive effectiveness,which could provide clinical references for the treatment of MSAP and SAP in elderly patients.

Objective To evaluate the early predictive and diagnostic value of procalcitonin (PCT) in abdominal infection after pancreatoduodenectomy(PD).Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with PD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from April 2016 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The general data and postoperative conditions of the patients were recorded.Serum PCT,C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and WBC counts were measured before and 1,3,and 5 days after surgery.According to the postoperative abdominal infection,the patients were divided into abdominal infection group (n =10) and control group(n =52).The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated by plotting the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve,and the cut-off value was determined to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the two groups of patients.Results There were no significant difference between two groups on age,gender,BMI,diabetes mellitus,preoperative laboratory indicators,anesthetic time,operation time,intraoperative bleeding and blood transfusion,surgical procedures and Braun anastomosis,which were comparable.The incidence of postoperative hyperglycemia,surgical incision infection,pancreatic fistula,biliary fistula,mortality,postoperative hospital stay and total medical costs of abdominal infection group were significantly higher than those of control group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences on PCT,CRP,and WBC between the two groups before surgery.The PCT level of the abdominal infection group was significantly higher than that of the control group at the 1st postoperative day and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.05).The sensitivity of predicting abdominal infection was 90％ and the specificity was 75％,which was significantly higher than those of CRP and WBC.There were no significant differences on the sensitivity and specificity of PCT,CRP and WBC for postoperative abdominal infection at 3 and 5 days after surgery,but the sensitivity of the combined diagnosis was as high as 100％ and 90％,significantly higher than 3 indicators alone,respectively.Conclusions Serum PCT level may predict in advance or diagnose early abdominal infection after PD.The combination of PCT,CRP and WBC might be more valuable for the diagnosis of abdominal infection after PD.

Objective:To observe and analyze the risk factors and optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics of exudative retinal detachment in patients with HELLP syndrome.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 2015 to March 2021, 168 eyes of 84 patients with HELLP syndrome who were hospitalized in The Third Central Hospital of Tianjin were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 30.96±4.09 years old. The patient’s general clinical data which included age, gestational week of delivery, type of HELLP syndrome, onset time of HELLP syndrome, parity, number of pregnancy, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total amount and duration of glucocorticoid, whether been admitted to intensive care unit; laboratory indicators, which included platelet count,serum albumin, serum uric acid, 24-hour urine protein quantification,aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, total bilirubin (TBIL) were collected. Whose the general condition was not allowed, however patients had a complaint of vision loss or suspected retinal detachment under direct ophthalmoscope examination, B-mode ultrasound was used to assist in the diagnosis. According to the presence or absence of exudative retinal detachment, patients were divided into retinal detachment group (net detachment group) and non-retinal detachment group (non-retinal detachment group), respectively 31 (36.90%, 31/84), 53 (63.10%, 53/84) cases. Among the 31 cases in the network disconnection group, 34 eyes in 17 cases underwent OCT. Two independent sample t tests were used to compare the measurement data of normal distribution between groups, Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare skewed distributions; the χ2 test was used to compare count data. The variables with statistical differences in univariate analysis were selected as independent variables, and binary logistic regression analysis was performed. Results:Among 84 patients, HELLP syndrome was classified into partial type and complete type, 41 (48.81%, 41/84) and 43 (51.19%, 43/84) cases, respectively. Compared with the non-net-off group, the patients in the off-line group had shorter gestational weeks ( t=2.51), higher diastolic blood pressure ( t=-2.61), greater total glucocorticoid use ( Z=-2.14), and longer use time of glucocorticoid ( Z=-2.75), the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05); TBIL ( Z=-2.49), serum albumin ( t=2.06) levels decreased, and 24-hour urine protein quantitative ( Z=-4.35) levels increased, the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the increase of 24-hour urine protein level increased the risk of exudative retinal detachment ( P<0.05) (odds ratio=1.20, 95% confidence interval 1.06-1.37). Among the 34 eyes that underwent OCT examination, 18 eyes showed that the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer was not smooth, thickened, and seemed to have adhesion to the detached retina. After the reattachment of retinal detachment, the abovementioned changes of RPE still existed, but reduced; the ellipsoid zone still has discontinuity, partial rupture, and even extensive loss in 16 eyes. Conclusion:The quantitative increase of 24-hour urine protein is a risk factor for the occurrence of exudative retinal detachment in HELLP syndrome; some patients with exudative retinal detachment are still missing the ellipsoid zone after reattachment.
