Objective:To analyze the risk factors for the progression of acute kidney injury (AKI) in decompensated cirrhosis patients with acute kidney injury.Methods:The basic data and laboratory results of decompensated cirrhosis patients with AKI hospitalized in the Department of Infectious Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from May 2016 to November 2021 were collected. Treatment and intervention were performed according to the International Club of Ascites guidelines. According to the outcome of AKI during hospitalization, patients were divided into the progression group and the non-progression group. Two independent sample rank sum test, two independent sample or approximate t test, chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 263 decompensated cirrhosis AKI patients were enrolled, including 50 in the progressive group and 213 in the non-progressive group. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in baseline total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, prothrombin time, serum sodium, white blood cell count, model for end-stage liver disease score, proportion of patients with infection, proportion of patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and proportion of patients with primary AKI stage between the two groups ( Z=-6.49, -3.53, t=-3.06, 3.40, -3.55, -8.19 and χ2=14.64, 8.40, 103.98, respectively, all P<0.050). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that primary AKI stage (stage two odds ratio ( OR)=33.176, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 11.294 to 97.458, P<0.001; stage three OR=114.139, 95% CI 25.321 to 514.515, P<0.001), upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage ( OR=3.850, 95% CI 1.238 to 11.971, P=0.020) and total bilirubin ( OR=1.009, 95% CI 1.005 to 1.012, P<0.001) were the risk factors for the progression of AKI in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Conclusions:Decompensated cirrhosis patients with AKI stage two or three, high baseline total bilirubin value or gastrointestinal hemorrhage have a high risk of AKI progression. It is necessary to strengthen the assessment and take targeted intervention measures at early stage in the clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate and establish the related factors of non-invasive score model for prediction of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in chronic hepatitis B patients with normal or mildly elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT).Methods:A total of 128 cases with chronic hepatitis B who had undergone liver biopsy were included. According to the presence or absence of hepatocyte steatosis on the pathological results of liver biopsy, they were divided into a fatty infiltration and a non-fatty infiltration group. Patients' demographic characteristics, laboratory test indexes, and pathological test results were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis combined with clinical screening variables were used to establish a predictive model. The prediction efficiency of the new model was evaluated by the receiver operating curve, and the difference between the accuracy of the new model and ultrasound in the diagnosis of fatty liver was compared by Delong's-test.Result:Multivariate regression analysis showed that serum triglyceride, serum uric acid and platelets were highly correlated with intrahepatic steatosis ( P<0.05). The regression equation triglyceride-uric acid-platelet (TUP)-1=-8.195+0.011×uric acid+1.439×triglyceride+0.012×platelet count was established by combining the above variables. Tthe equation TUP-2=-7.527+0.010×uric acid+1.309×triglyceride+0.012×platelet count+1.397×fatty liver (ultrasound) was established (yes=1; no=0) after incorporating the results of abdominal ultrasound. The diagnostic value of TUP-1 and TUP-2 models for fatty liver was better than that of ultrasound alone and there was no statistically significant difference in diagnostic value between TUP-1 and TUP-2 models ( Z=1.453, P=0.146). Conclusion:Compared with abdominal ultrasonography alone, the new model is more effective in diagnosing fatty liver and has good application value.

Based on Yichang health big data platform, 850 608 patients from September 2018 to September 2019 were included in this study. According to the date of birth, the participants were divided into early childhood famine exposure group, fetal famine exposure group and non-famine exposure group. The incidence of adult herpes zoster (HZ) in Yichang city was analyzed, and the correlation between early life famine exposure and adult HZ was analyzed. In 2019, the crude incidence rate of adult HZ in Yichang was 6.83‰. The crude incidence rate of adult HZ in females (7.26‰) was higher than that in males (6.40‰). Compared with the non-famine exposure group, fetal famine exposure was associated with the incidence of adult HZ ( OR=1.21; 95% CI: 1.01-1.45, P=0.041). After stratification by sex, fetal famine exposure was only found to be associated with the onset of adult HZ in females ( OR=1.28, 95% CI:1.02-1.61, P=0.034).

There are various examination methods for cardiovascular diseases. Non-invasive diagnosis and prognostic information acquisition are the current research hotspots of related imaging examinations. Positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a new advanced fusion imaging technology that combines the molecular imaging of PET with the soft tissue contrast function of MRI to achieve their complementary advantages. This article briefly introduces several major aspects of cardiac PET/MRI in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis, ischemic cardiomyopathy, nodular heart disease, and myocardial amyloidosis, in order to promote cardiac PET/MRI to be more widely used in precision medicine in this field.

Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (NCP) is a class B infectious disease, which is prevented and controlled according to class A infectious diseases. Recently, children′s NCP cases have gradually increased, and children′s fever outpatient department has become the first strategic pass to stop the epidemic. Strengthening the management of the fever diagnosis process is very important for early detection of suspected children, early isolation, early treatment and prevention of cross-infection. This article proposes prevention and control strategies for fever diagnosis, optimizes processes, prevents cross-infection, health protection and disinfection of medical staff, based on the relevant diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control programs of the National Health and Health Commission and on the diagnosis and treatment experience of experts in various provinces and cities. The present guidance summarizes current strategies on pre-diagnosis; triage, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of 2019-nCoV infection in common fever, suspected and confirmed children, which provide practical suggestions on strengthening the management processes of children′s fever in outpatient department during the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic period.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo evaluate the diagnostic value and curative effect of keyhole neurovascular decompression with local anesthesia for vestibular paroxysmia.METHODSOf 40 patients with trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm and glossopharyngeal neuralgia, 8 of them combined with vestibular paroxysmia underwent keyhole neurovascular decompression under local anesthesia to explore the vascular compression of acoustic nerve root and have the neurovascular decompression. The evaluation of the vertigo after operation was performed with symptom report card. The patients were followed-up for 36 to 61 months. RESULTSThe vessels compressing the root zone of the vestibular nerve were found in 8 patients with vestibular paroxysmia, of whom 7 patients had the vascular compression vertigo induced during operation and the vertigo was disappeared after operation, moreover, one patient had no vascular compression vertigo induced during operation and the vertigo was not changed after operation. With the average follow-up of 57 months, of 8 patients with vestibular paroxysmia, 7 patients had no recurrence of the vertigo, and the effective control rate was 87.5%.CONCLUSION Local anesthesia keyhole neurovascular decompression was not only an effective way for treating vestibular paroxysmia and controlling the vertigo, but also had certain clinical significance in the diagnosis of vestibular paroxysmia.
