Objective To investigate the relationship between serum autotaxin(ATX),energy balance re-lated protein(Adropin)and inflammatory factors and poor prognosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).Methods A total of 105 DCM patients admitted to Qingdao Huangdao District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from June 2017 to February 2020 were selected as the DCM group,and 100 healthy volun-teers who came to the hospital for physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of serum ATX,Adropin and inflammatory factors[hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and interleukin-6(IL-6)]in the two groups were detected,and the correlation between serum ATX,Adropin and inflammatory factors was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Patients in DCM group were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group according to the occurrence of endpoint events during follow-up.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in DCM patients,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum ATX and Adropinfor poor prognosis in DCM patients.Results The serum levels of ATX,hs-CRP and IL-6 in DCM group were higher than those in control group,and the level of Adropin was lower than that in control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum ATX level was posi-tively correlated with hs-CRP and IL-6,and serum Adropin level was negatively correlated with hs-CRP and IL-6(P＜0.05).New York Heart Association(NYHA)functional classification m to Ⅳ and serum ATX lev-el in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group,the heart failure duration and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter were higher than those in the good prognosis group,the left ventric-ular ejection fraction(LVEF)and serum Adropin levels were lower than those in the good prognosis group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Logistic regression model analysis showed that NYHA functional classification Ⅲ to Ⅳ and high ATX were risk factors for poor prognosis in DCM patients,and high Adropin and high LVEF were protective factors for poor prognosis in DCM patients(P＜0.05).ROC curve a-nalysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum ATX and Adropin in predicting poor prognosis of DCM patients was 0.841 and 0.793,respectively,and the AUC of combined prediction of poor prognosis of DCM patients was greater than that of single prediction.Conclusion Serum ATX is abnormally elevated and serum Adropin is abnormally decreased in DCM patients,both of which are closely related to inflammatory factors.Detection of serum ATX and Adropin levels can provide reference for prognosis assessment of DCM patients.

Objective:To investigate the status of frailty and activities of daily living (ADL) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and to explore the effect of frailty phenotype on ADL.Methods:The patients who underwent MHD in Kidney Disease Center of the First Affiliated Hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 were enrolled in this study. The demographic and laboratorial data were collected by cross-sectional survey method. Fried frailty phenotype scale and ADL scale were used to evaluate the frailty and ADL, respectively. The differences of basic data and different frailty phenotypes between the normal function group and the function decline group were compared in terms of ADL, physical self-maintenance ability and instrumental ADL ability. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between frailty and ADL, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of ADL.Results:A total of 676 MHD patients were included in this study, including 434 males (64.2%) and 242 females (35.8%). The age was (59.2±19.4) years old, and the median dialysis age was 59.0 (25.3, 110.0) months. There were 159 frailty patients (23.5%), 230 pre-frailty patients (34.0%), and 287 non-frailty patients (42.5%). The ADL was decreased in 163 patients (24.1%), including 131 patients (19.4%) with decreased physical self-maintenance ability and 161 patients (23.8%) with decreased instrumental ADL ability. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the frailty score was positively correlated with total ADL score ( r=0.728, P<0.001), physical self-maintenance ability score ( r=0.669, P<0.001) and instrumental ADL ability score ( r=0.729, P<0.001). Binary logistic regression analysis results showed that older age and lower physical activity, fatigue, slowed steps and lower grip strength in the frailty phenotypes were the independent influencing factors of ADL, physical self-maintenance ability and instrumental ADL ability (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of frailty is 23.5% in MHD patients, and 24.1% of MHD patients have decreased ADL. Elder age and lower physical activity, fatigue, reduced step counts, and lower grip strength in frailty phenotypes are the independent influencing factors for poor ADL, poor physical self-maintenance ability and poor instrumental ADL ability.

Objective: To observe and explore the therapeutic efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in the treatment of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Methods: A total of 139 NAION patients were randomly divided into a control group of 72 and a hyperbaric oxygen group of 67. Both groups were given conventional drugs including prednisolone, mecobalamin and compound anisodine, while the hyperbaric oxygen group was additionally provided with hyperbaric oxygen treatment at a pressure of 0.2MPa once a day for 30 days. Each day′s treatment lasted for 110 minutes, including 20 minutes at increasing pressure, 20 minutes decreasing and 60 minutes with the pressure stable at 0.2MPa. Before and after the 30-day treatment, the visual acuity and visual mean sensitivity (MS) of the two groups were observed and compared. Results: There was no significant difference between the control group and the hyperbaric oxygen group in terms of average visual acuity or visual MS before the treatment. Afterward the average visual acuity (4.88±0.25) and visual MS (16.68±1.19) of the hyperbaric oxygen group were significantly higher than before the treatment and significantly better than those of the control group. The total effective rate of the hyperbaric oxygen group was 91%, significantly higher than that of the control group (75%). Conclusions Conventional treatment combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy can significantly promote the visual acuity and visual MS of NAION patients.

Objective: To investigate the role of body fat ratio in the evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea(OSA). Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on 174 cases (between November, 2017 and April, 2018 showed that) of sleep monitoring in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology in Peking University Third Hospital. The data included the gender, age, body fat rate, body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). The above data were analyzed by non parametric correlation analysis, receiver operating characterristic (ROC) curve analysis and multiple factor Logistic regression analysis to study the relationship between the gender,age,body fat rate,BMI,neck circumference and other indexes of the patients with AHI. Results: Nonparametric correlation analysis showed that the correlation from strong to weak to AHI among women was BMI (r=0.621, P<0.001),body fat rate (r=0.602, P<0.001), age (r=0.570, P<0.001), neck circumference (r=0.402, P=0.014), respectively. BMI (r=0.599, P<0.001), neck circumference (r=0.493, P<0.001), body fat rate (r=0.318, P<0.001), and age (r=0.256, P=0.003) among men. ROC curve analysis showed that the strong to weak index (area under curve,AUC) of the AHI>15/h among women was the body fat rate (AUC=0.884, P=0.001), BMI(AUC=0.810, P=0.008), neck circumference (AUC=0.759, P=0.027), age (AUC=0.750, P=0.033), and the male was BMI (AUC=0.765,P<0.001), neck circumference (AUC=0.720, P<0.001), age (AUC=0.634, P=0.008), and body fat rate (AUC=0.632, P=0.010), respectively. Multifactor Logistic regression analysis showed that the body fat rate (OR=1.704,95%CI=1.012-2.870) in women was an independent risk factor for AHI greater than 15/h; the age of male (OR=1. 044, 95%CI=1.005-1.085) and BMI (OR=1.285, 95%CI=1.056-1.562) were independent risk factors for AHI greater than 15/h. Conclusion Body fat rate can be used as a new indicator for predicting the severity of OSA,especially in adult female population. In adult female moderate to severe OSA patients (AHI>15/h), compared with BMI,neck circumference and age,the body fat rate has the greatest correlation with AHI. Compared with BMI,neck circumference and age,the body fat rate has a decisive role in predicting moderate to severe OSA (AHI>15/h).

Objective: To examine the relative factors of transmural intestinal necrosis(TIN) during multidisciplinary stepwise management facilitating the decision making in patients with acute superior mesenteric vein thrombosis (ASMVT). Methods: Clinical data of patients with ASMVT admitted to Department of General Surgery, Jinling Hospital from January 2009 to June 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. There were 52 males and 37 females, aging (45.9±12.6) years (range: 20 to 69 years). According to the postoperative pathological results and follow-up, the patients were divided into TIN group (n=31) and non-TIN group(n=58, including 18 cases of intestinal stricture). The related factors were compared between ASMVT patients with TIN and patients without TIN by univariate analysis using t test, U test and χ² test accordingly, and factors with statistically significance were subsequently submitted to binary Logistic regression analysis.
