Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of acute ischemic stroke with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion caused by cardioembolism (CE) and large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and the efficacy of endovascular treatment.Methods:Patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion in anterior circulation and received endovascular treatment in the Stroke Center of the 971 st Hospital of the PLA Navy from April 2014 to April 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. The etiological classification of stroke was CE or LAA. According to the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 d after onset, the patients were divided into good outcome group (0-2) and poor outcome group (>2). The demographic and clinical data between the groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of clinical outcome. Results:A total of 106 patients were enrollded. Their age was 61.39±13.73 years and 70 (66.0%) were males. Seventy-four patients (69.8%) were in the CE group and 32 (30.2%) were in the LAA group. Sixty-six patients (62.3%) had good outcomes. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in gender, age, smoking, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, time from onset to femoral artery puncture, time from puncture to vascular recanalization, and the number of retrieval attempts between the CE group and the LAA group (all P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in the incidences of poor outcome, hemorrhagic transformation, and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. There were significant differences in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, baseline NIHSS score, time from onset to femoral artery puncture, and blood perfusion grade after treatment between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that higher systolic blood pressure (odds ratio [ OR] 1.046, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.014-1.078; P=0.004), higher baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.117, 95% CI 1.037-1.203; P=0.003), longer time from onset to femoral artery puncture ( OR 1.008, 95% CI 1.001-1.015; P=0.019) and poor blood perfusion after treatment ( OR 8.042, 95% CI 1.532-42.215; P=0.014) were significantly and independently associated with the poor outcomes. Conclusions:Compared with LAA, CE do not increase the risks of hemorrhagic transformation and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. The safety and efficacy of the two are similar.

Objective:To observe the effect of customized orthotic insoles on the gait and balance of hemiplegic stroke survivors.Methods:Sixty stroke survivors with gait abnormalities were randomly divided into a group fitted with ankle foot orthoses (AFO) ( n=30) and a group who received customized orthotic insoles ( n=30). All received conventional rehabilitation training for 4 weeks. Before the fitting, as well as 8 hours and 4 weeks afterward, both groups were evaluated using the Tinetti gait scale (TGS), the plantar pressure balance index, the difference in length between their right and left step, step width, the Timed Up and Go test (TUGT), the Fugl-Meyer lower extremity assessment (FMA-LE), the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), a trunk impairment scale (TIS), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Barthel Index (BI). Results:At 8 hours after the fitting all of the insole group′s measurements were better than those of the AFO group, on average, but the differences were not statistically significant. After 4 weeks the average TGS, balance index barefoot and wearing the orthosis, step length difference, BBS and BI of the insoles group were significantly better than the AFO group′s averages. The other indicators were not significantly different.Conclusions:Customized orthotic insoles are more effective than an AFO in relieving the biomechanical abnormalities in hemiplegic patients′ feet and ankles, and enhancing their balance and gait.

Objective To investigate the relationship between nutritional risk status and implementation of nutrition therapy in mechanical ventilated (MV) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, so as to provide evidence for individualized nutrition therapy. Methods A prospective multicenter observational study was conducted. MV COPD patients admitted to Department of Intensive Care Units (ICU) of 10 County Hospitals in Zhejiang Province from January 2015 to January 2016 were enrolled, and according to nutrition risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) score, they were divided into nutritional high risk group (NRS2002 3-5) and nutritional extremely high risk group (NRS2002 6-7). Nutrition therapy situation and hospital mortality were compared between the two groups; multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with COPD under mechanical ventilation. Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the prognosis at 30 days; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to test the robustness of multivariable regression analysis. Results ① One hundred and six COPD patients with MV were analyzed; among them, 90 patients were in the nutritional high risk group, and 16 were in the nutritional extremely high risk group. There were no significant differences in age, gender and body mass index (BMI) between the two groups (all P > 0.05); the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, NRS2002 score in patients of nutrition risk extremely high group were obviously higher than that in patients with nutrition high risk group (APACHEⅡ: 24.9±6.1 vs. 20.3±5.8, NRS2002 score: 6.3±0.5 vs. 4.2±0.8, both P < 0.05). ② Patients in both groups received early enteral nutrition (EN) therapy, the proportion of patients in nutritional extremely high risk group received early EN was lower than that of patients in the nutritional high risk group [12.5% (2/16) vs. 17.7% (16/90)], along with the prolongation of hospital stay, the proportions of patients beginning to receive the EN were gradually increased in the nutrition extremely high risk group and high risk group, after 2 days the EN increased significantly, and reached the highest value on day 6 after entering ICU [100.0% (16/16), 98.9% (89/90), respectively]; within 3 days after admission into ICU, the proportion of EN in nutrition extremely high risk group was obviously lower than that in nutrition high risk group, and from day 4, there was no statistical significant difference in proportion of EN between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The time to start parenteral nutrition (PN) treatment was relatively early admission to the ICU on day 1 and the proportion of this therapy was high in the two groups [56.2% (9/16), 27.7% (25/90), respectively], the PN proportion did not decrease with the length of hospitalization and the increase of EN. The proportion of patients in the nutrition extremely high risk group who started PN treatment was higher, which reached 56.2% admission to the ICU on day 1.③ With extension of hospital stay, the calories of EN were gradually increased in the nutritional high risk group, the highest calories in nutritional high risk groups was 4 318 (3 912, 4 812) kJ/d at day 7; while the highest calories in nutritional extremely high risk groups was 3 602 (2 167, 4 615) kJ/d at day 6 and a slight decreased at day 7; the difference of calories within the first week between the two groups had no significance (all P > 0.05). The calorific value of PN therapy remained at a constant level during hospitalization within 7 days, and after admission into ICU for 4-5 days, the target range of calories was achieved. ④ Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the mortality at 30 days in the extremely high risk group was significantly higher than that in the high risk group [62.5% (10/16) vs. 11.1% (10/90), χ2 = 15.4, P < 0.01]. ⑤ Multiple cox-regression analysis showed that NRS2002 scoring was the independent risk factor affecting the mortality of patients in hospital [odds ratio (OR) = 2.08, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.39-3.12, P = 0.005]. ⑥ ROC curve analysis: according to ROC curve analysis of the effectiveness of multi-factor regression model, area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.79, sensitivity was 70.00%, specificity was 74.42%, positive likelihood ratio was 2.74, negative likelihood ratio was 0.40, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.702-0.864, P = 0.001, and it showed that the regression model had a good prediction effect. Conclusions MV COPD patients have significant nutritional risk and all receive early EN therapy. The proportion of beginning to use PN treatment in patients with nutritional extremely high risk is relatively high. Initial nutritional status is the independent risk factor of poor prognosis in MV patients with COPD.

Objective To investigate the curative effect of lateral position ventilation combined with vibration sputum drainage on the patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. The patients with ARDS undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV) admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Linyi Central Hospital from January 2013 to June 2017 were enrolled, and they were divided into simple ventilation group and combined treatment group according to random number table. The patients in both groups received etiological treatment, protective ventilation strategy, sensitive antibiotics for anti-infection, and calefacient and humidifying treatment. The patients in the simple ventilation group received bilateral discontinuous alternative lateral position ventilation [pressure controlled ventilation (PCV), tidal volume (VT) ≤ 6 mL/kg, the inhaled oxygen concentration (FiO2) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) was adjusted to maintain the airway plateau pressure (Pplat) ≤ 30 cmH2O (1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa)], and those in the combined treatment group received lateral position ventilation combined with vibration sputum drainage, twice a day, 15 minutes each time. The parameters of respiratory function and inflammation as well as excretion of sputum before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and the complication and prognosis were recorded. Results A total of 200 patients with ARDS were included, 4 patients were excluded because of severe pneumothorax, massive hemorrhage of the digestive tract, or elevated intracranial pressure, so 196 patients were finally enrolled in the analysis. There were 98 patients in the simple ventilation group and the combined treatment group, respectively. There were no significant differences in parameters of respiratory function and inflammation as well as excretion of sputum before treatment between the two groups. After treatment, the above parameters in both groups were improved, and the effect of combined treatment was more significant. Compared with the simple ventilation group, white blood cell count (WBC), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) at 24 hours of treatment in the combined treatment group were significantly decreased [WBC (×109/L):9.1±1.6 vs. 11.8±3.6, PCT (μg/L): 14.5±2.4 vs. 22.7±3.2, CRP (mg/L): 32.2±6.3 vs. 67.2±7.2, all P < 0.01], the quantity of sputum excretion was significantly increased (mL: 49.3±12.5 vs. 36.8±11.8, P < 0.01); 72 hours after treatment, the oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) in the combined treatment group was significantly increased [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 278±28 vs. 238±39, P < 0.01], and PEEP, FiO2, airway resistance (Raw) were significantly lowered [PEEP (cmH2O): 5±2 vs. 7±3, FiO2: 0.40±0.11 vs. 0.49±0.12, Raw (cmH2O): 12.8±0.7 vs. 16.2±0.8, all P < 0.01]. There was no significant difference in static lung compliance (Cst) or Pplat between the two groups. Compared with the simple ventilation group, the duration of MV (days: 5.5±3.0 vs. 8.6±2.1), the length of ICU stay (days: 7.5±5.4 vs. 11.3±4.6) and the extraction time of artificial airway (days: 6.6±2.8 vs. 9.4±3.3) in the combined treatment group were significantly shortened (all P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the 28-day mortality rate [4.1% (4/98) vs. 3.1% (3/98)], the rate of tracheotomy [2.0% (2/98) vs. 3.1% (3/98)] or the incidence ofⅠ-Ⅱ skin pressure sore [1.0% (1/98) vs. 2.0% (2/98)] between simple ventilation group and the combined treatment group (all P > 0.05). No artificial airway disappearance, pneumothorax, grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ pressure sore was found in the two groups. Conclusions Compared with lateral position ventilation alone, the treatment of combined with vibration sputum drainage is more effective for improving the respiratory function of patients with ARDS, reducing infection action, shortening the duration of MV and the length of ICU stay, and improve the recovery, promote the rehabitation of patients.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the application of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) in prevention of peri-operative pulmonary embolism (PE) in lower limb bone fracture patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
METHODSFrom January 2003 to December 2012, 2 248 cases of lower limb and pelvic fractures with DVT were retrospectively analyzed. Before the procedure of IVCF implantation began, January 2003 to December 2007, there were 1 052 cases of acute trauma patients with DVT were classified as the group of early none-IVCF. The IVCF implantation was began since January 2008. From that time to December 2012, 712 cases of bone fractures with DVT received filter implantation, which were classified as IVCF group. The other 484 patients who had not undergone filter deployment were divided as group of late none-IVCF. The baseline conditions of the three groups were significantly different in addition to the ages between group of early none-IVCF and IVCF group. The incidences of PE and mortality of PE in each group were recorded and analyzed by χ(2) test.
RESULTSThere were totally 31 cases of symptomatic PE, among which 12 cases died. Totally 712 filters were deployed successfully without any major complications. The incidences of symptomatic PE were 0.14% (1/712), 2.19% (23/1 052) and 1.45% (7/484) in IVCF group, group of early none-IVCF and group of late none-IVCF, respectively. The mortality of PE were 0 (0/712), 0.86% (9/1 052) and 0.62% (3/484) in these groups. The incidence of symptomatic PE in IVCF group was significantly different from that in the group of early and late none-IVCF (χ(2) = 11.762, P = 0.001; χ(2) = 7.395, P = 0.007, respectively). The mortality of IVCF group was also significantly lower compared with the other two groups (χ(2) = 6.122, P = 0.013; χ(2) = 4.424, P = 0.035, respectively).
CONCLUSIONIVCF implantation effectively prevents symptomatic and fatal PE of patients of lower limb and pelvic fractures with DVT in the peri-operative period.
