Objective:To explore the influencing factors of evacuation associated pulmonary edema (WIPE) in patients with mechanical ventilation of cardiogenic respiratory failure, and to build a risk warning model based on independent influencing factors.Methods:A total of 220 patients with cardiogenic respiratory failure who were treated and received mechanical ventilation in Chengbei Campus of Hangzhou First People′s Hospital from April 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively selected by cross-sectional investigation method, and were divided into WIPE group (34 cases) and non WIPE group (186 cases) according to whether the patients had WIPE or not. Clinical data of the patients were analyzed using the hospital electronic medical record system. The influencing factors of WIPE were determined by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and the risk early warning model was constructed based on regression analysis. The corresponding nomogram was drawn by R language software, and the predictive efficiency of the model was tested by receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration curve.Results:WIPE group included 18 males and 16 females, aged (65.12±9.28) years. Non WIPE group included 107 males and 79 females, aged (60.25±8.40) years. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.072), smoking history ( OR=3.412), acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ( OR=1.184), cardiac function classification ( OR=4.043), shallow rapid breathing index ( OR=1.100), mechanical ventilation time ( OR=1.540), hypertension ( OR=4.903), left ventricular diastolic dysfunction ( OR=5.151) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( OR= 5.536) were independent influencing factors (all P < 0.05). The area under the curve of the risk early warning model constructed based on the above 9 independent influencing factors was 0.938, and the sensitivity and specificity corresponding to the optimal cutoff value of 0.620 were 0.971 and 0.801, respectively, indicating good differentiation ability. The calibration curve results show that the average absolute error was 0.020, the calibration curve fits the ideal curve, and the model calibration performance was good. Conclusions:WIPE in patients with cardiogenic respiratory failure induced by mechanical ventilation is affected by cardiac function status, mechanical ventilation parameters and other factors. The risk early warning model based on the above 9 independent influencing factors has good predictive efficacy, and can provide reference for clinical prevention of WIPE.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between oral cleanliness and secondary Pulmonary infection in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in mechanical ventilation, and to investigate the predictive effect of oral cleanliness on the risk of secondary pulmonary infection.Methods:Using the cross-sectional survey method, the purposeful sampling method was adopted to select 216 patients with severe COPD who were hospitalized in Hangzhou First People′s Hospital from June 2020 to December 2023 and received mechanical ventilation. The oral cleanliness index and general clinical data of patients at admission were collected using the hospital electronic medical record system. The independent influencing factors of secondary lung infection were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate Logisitic regression. The predictive value of oral cleanliness index on secondary lung infection was analyzed by patient operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:216 patients with severe COPD who underwent mechanical ventilation were included.Patients aged 37-84 (66.81 ± 8.98) years were included, including 125 males and 91 females.Among them, 89 cases developed secondary pulmonary infection, with an infection rate of 41.20%.Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, Beck Oral Rating Scale (BOAS) score ( OR = 1.371), visual simulation score of oral odor ( OR = 1.405), gum index ( OR = 3.508), plaque index ( OR = 14.357), smoking history ( OR = 6.772), duration of disease ( OR = 1.391), COPD assessment test score ( OR = 1.269) and mechanical ventilation time ( OR = 1.302) were independent factors for secondary pulmonary infection (all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that oral cleanliness index combined with infection prediction was effective (the area under the ROC curve was 0.833) . Conclusions:Oral cleanliness was closely related to secondary pulmonary infection in patients with severe COPD with mechanical ventilation. BOAS score, visual simulation score of oral odor, gingival index and plaque index could predict secondary pulmonary infection independently, and combined test could predict secondary pulmonary infection.

Objective:To evaluate the screw placement guided by C-arm computer navigation in the fixation and fusion of instability of the atlantoaxial joint using atlantoaxial pedicle screws.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 30 patients who had been treated for atlantoaxial instability by pedicle screw fixation and fusion at Department of Orthopaedics, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2020 to November 2022. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether the C-arm computer navigation system had been used to assist their screw placement. In the observation group, there were 12 patients [9 males and 3 females with an age of (55.6±7.3) years] whose screw placement was assisted by C-arm computer navigation; in the control group, there were 18 patients [13 males and 5 females with an age of (52.4±8.1) years] whose screw placement was assisted by conventional X-ray fluoroscopy. The 2 groups were compared in terms of surgery time, intraoperative bleeding volume, intraoperative fluoroscopy time, incidence of postoperative complications, and neck disability index (NDI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) at 3 months after surgery.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there were no significant differences in the preoperative general data between them ( P>0.05). All the 30 patients were followed up for (23.8±6.1) months after surgery. The surgery time, intraoperative fluoroscopy time, and intraoperative bleeding volume in the observation group were significantly shorter or smaller, respectively, than those in the control group [(109.5±19.3) min versus (135.6±23.2) min; (43.5±11.7) s versus (68.8±24.5) s; (240.6±65.8) mL versus (320.4±95.6) mL)] ( P<0.05). No vascular or neural injuries or other complications occurred in any of the patients. There was no statistically significant difference between the observation group and the control group in the NDI or VAS pain score at 3 months after surgery [(18.6±7.3) points versus (20.4±9.3) points; (1.6±0.6) points versus (1.4±0.5) points] ( P>0.05). Follow-ups observed no loosening or breakage of implants, no recurrence of instability of the atlantoaxial joint, or no nonunion of the bone grafts. Conclusion:In the treatment of atlantoaxial instability with atlantoaxial pedicle screw fixation and fusion, compared with conventional X-ray fluoroscopy guidance, the screw placement guided by C-arm computer navigation can result in the same therapeutic efficacy but shorter surgery time, less intraoperative blood loss and less radiation exposure.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of oblique intervertebral fusion in the treatment of failed internal fixation of thoracolumbar fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 14 patients who had undergone revision surgery for failed internal fixation of thoracolumbar fracture at Department of Orthopedics, The First Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to December 2021. There were 6 men and 8 women with a mean age of 47.5 (42.0, 54.3) years. Fracture segments: T 12 in 2 cases, L 1 in 3 cases, L 2 in 4 cases, L 3 in 3 cases, and L 4 in 2 cases; AO classification: type A in 1 case, type B in 7 cases, and type C in 6 cases. Their prior surgical method was posterior internal fixation with pedicle screws. The revision surgery consisted of subtotal vertebral resection through the oblique lateral approach, bone column reconstruction and lateral screw-rod internal fixation for intervertebral fusion after posterior internal fixation reset. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stay, and incidence of complications were recorded. Compared were visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores for low back pain at preoperation, 3 days and 3 months postoperation, and the last follow-up, fusion at the last follow-up, and Frankel grading for neurological function at preoperation and postoperation. Results:All the 14 patients underwent surgery successfully and were followed up for 23 (18, 24) months. The operation time was (175.1±28.2) min, the intraoperative bleeding (300.4±122.6) mL, and the postoperative hospital stay 6 (6, 7) d. One case developed postoperative transient hip flexion weakness but was discharged after restoration of normal muscle strength by conservative treatment. Both VAS and ODI scores for low back pain at all postoperative time points were significantly improved compared with the preoperative values ( P<0.05), with a significant trend of 3 days postoperation >3 months postoperation > the last follow-up ( P<0.05). In the 12 patients with preoperative neurological damage, the Frankel grading rose by at least 1 level postoperatively ( Z=-3.110, P=0.002). The last follow-up revealed no loosening or fracture of the internal fixation. Complete bony fusion was visible in all CT sagittal reconstructions. Conclusion:For patients with thoracolumbar fracture undergoing failed internal fixation, oblique intervertebral fusion is an alternative minimally invasive surgical treatment due to its satisfactory overall outcomes.

Interleukin (IL)-17A, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is a fundamental function in the onset and advancement of multiple immune diseases. To uncover the primary compounds with IL-17A inhibitory activity, a large-scale screening of the library of traditional Chinese medicine constituents and microbial secondary metabolites was conducted using splenic cells from IL-17A-GFP reporter mice cultured under Th17-priming conditions. Our results indicated that some aureane-type sesquiterpene tetraketides isolated from a wetland mud-derived fungus, Myrothecium gramineum, showed remarkable IL-17A inhibitory activity. Nine new aureane-type sesquiterpene tetraketides, myrogramins A-I ( 1, 4- 11), and two known ones ( 2 and 3) were isolated and identified from the strain. Compounds 1, 3, 4, 10, and 11 exhibited significant IL-17A inhibitory activity. Among them, compound 3, with a high fermentation yield dose-dependently inhibited the generation of IL-17A and suppressed glycolysis in splenic cells under Th17-priming conditions. Strikingly, compound 3 suppressed immunopathology in both IL-17A-mediated animal models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and pulmonary hypertension. Our results revealed that aureane-type sesquiterpene tetraketides are a novel class of immunomodulators with IL-17A inhibitory activity, and hold great promise applications in treating IL-17A-mediated immune diseases.

Objective To evaluate the role of cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) analysis in evaluating the sleep quality of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD),and explore its correlation with subjective complaints in patients with PD.Methods Sixty patients with PD,admitted to our hospital from October 2015 to December 2017,and 45 healthy controls accepted physical examinations were enrolled.The sleep qualities of all subjects were assessed using CPC and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).Independent-sample t test was used to compare the CPC variables and PSQI results,and the correlations between CPC variables and PSQI results were analyzed.Results (1) High-frequency coupling (HFC) and sleep efficiency of PD patients were significantly lower than those of healthy controls (P＜0.05);very low-frequency coupling and sleep latency of PD patients were significantly higher than those of healthy controls (P＜0.05).(2) Results of PSQI in the PD patients were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group (P＜0.05);there was a negative correlation between PSQI results and HFC ratio in the PD group (r=-0.391,P=0.002).Conclusion CPC analysis is effective in reflecting the subjective sleep quality of PD patients and can be used as a new technology in sleep monitoring.
