Objective:To develop and validate a predictive model for septic shock using noninvasive left ventricular pressure-strain loop myocardial work parameters combined with clinical indicators.Methods:In this retrospective study, 105 septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Zhangzhou Hospital between January and December 2023 were analyzed after screening (initial cohort: 124 patients). Participants were stratified into non-shock ( n=38) and shock ( n=67) groups based on septic shock occurrence within 48 hours of admission. Demographic characteristics, laboratory parameters, clinical variables, and myocardial work indices were compared between groups. Independent risk factors were identified through multivariate logistic regression, and a predictive model was constructed. Results:Five independent predictors of septic shock were identified: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) ≥ -16% (X 1).Global work index (GWI) <1 196.5 mmHg% (X 2).Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) ≥299.81 pg/mL (X 3).Lactate (Lac) ≥4.75 mmol/L (X 4).Mean arterial pressure (MAP) <68.5 mmHg (X 5).The derived model equation was:Y = -21.104 + 3.517×X 1 + 2.066×X 2 + 1.941×X 3 + 3.440×X 4 + 3.526×X 5.ROC analysis determined an optimal diagnostic cutoff of -13.6185 points (rounded to -14 for clinical practicality). Scores≥-14 indicated high septic shock risk. The model demonstrated excellent discrimination (AUC=0.960, 95% CI=0.919-0.998) and goodness-of-fit (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P=0.804). Conclusions:This novel predictive model integrating myocardial work parameters and clinical indicators exhibits outstanding diagnostic performance for early septic shock detection, potentially enabling timely therapeutic intervention.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of platelet reactivity,RhoC and Rho kinase 1(ROCK1)combined with the electrocardiogram performance for slow flow/no reflow(SF/NRF)after the percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in elderly patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 263 elderly PCI patients admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to July 2024.According to TIMI flow classification after PCI,they were divided into SF/NRF group(grade 0-II of TIMI flow classification,42 cases)and the control group(grade III of TIMI flow classification,221 cases).The baseline data and platelet reactivity,ROCK1,and ECG performance were compared between the two groups and the factors influencing SF/NRF after PCI in the elderly were analyzed.The value of joint predictors,each original covariate to predict SF/NRF after PCI in the elderly was evaluated.Results The proportion of patients with HPR,ROCK1,QTc,and T-wave inversion in SF/NRF group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05);increased HPR,ROCK1,QTc,and T-wave inversion were independent risk factors for SF/NRF after PCI in the elderly(P<0.05);the AUC of the combined predictors for predicting SF/NRF after PCI in the elderly was significantly higher than that of the original covariates HPR(X1),ROCK1(X2,QTc(X3),and T-wave inversion(X4)(Z=5.112,3.688,4.368,5.697,P<0.05).Conclusion The increase of HPR,ROCK1,QTc and T wave inversion are independent risk factors for SF/NRF after PCI in the elderly.The combined detection of these indicators has certain predictive value for the occurrence of SF/NRF after PCI in the elderly.

Objective:To investigates the efficacy and safety of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)in treating older patients(≥60 years old)with hematologic malignancies.Methods:We conducted a retrospective study involving 67 patients aged 60 years and above, diagnosed with malignant hematological diseases, who received allo-HSCT at the Clinical Research Centrer for Haematologic Diseases of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between June 2015 and March 2023.We collected pre-transplant data, including the patients' age, gender, pre-transplantation disease risk stratification, disease status, and the haematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index(HCT-CI). We retrospectively analyzed clinical data regarding treatment-related toxicity, infections, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease(a/cGVHD), as well as recurrent and non-recurrent deaths, to estimate the overall survival(OS)rate and event-free survival (EFS)rate.Results:Sixty-seven patients were included in the study, comprising 55 males(82.1%)and 12 females(17.9%), with a median age of 63(61, 65) years .The cohort consisted of 42 cases of acute myeloid leukaemia, 22 cases of myelodysplastic syndromes, and 3 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 1-year OS and EFS rates were 62.9% and 59.2%, respectively, while the 2-year OS and EFS rates were 55.3% and 51.8%, respectively.The cumulative incidence of 1-year non-relapse mortality and relapse was 25.4% and 21.2%, respectively.A total of 13 patients developed grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD, with a 1-year cumulative incidence of 22.0%, and 7 patients developed cGVHD requiring treatment.When stratified by age group, the OS rate was higher in patients aged 60~64 years compared to those aged ≥65 years; however, this difference was not statistically significant(Log-rank χ2=0.99, P=0.317). In contrast, when stratified by disease load, the OS rate was significantly higher in the complete remission(CR)group than in the non-CR group, with a statistically significant difference(Log-rank χ2=15.04, P<0.001). When stratified by donor type, the OS rate was higher in the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) allogeneic group compared to the haploinsufficiency group; however, the difference was not statistically significant(Log-rank χ2=2.71, P=0.100). Twenty-seven patients died at an average of 125 days (range 3-1 054 days) after HSCT.The causes of death included leukemia recurrence in 9 cases (33.3%), infection in 8 cases (29.6%), GVHD in 5 cases (18.5%), poor implantation in 3 cases (11.1%), multi-organ failure in 1 case (3.7%), and cerebrovascular accident in 1 case (3.7%). The results of multifactorial analysis indicated that a pre-transplant tumor load greater than 5% was an independent risk factor for OS after transplantation ( HR=4.59, 95% CI: 2.01-10.42, P<0.001)as well as for disease recurrence ( OR=13.11, 95% CI: 1.96-87.87, P=0.008). Additionally, the occurrence of infection was identified as an independent risk factor for non-recurrent death after transplantation( OR=3.95, 95% CI: 1.13 to 13.71, P=0.031). Conclusions:For patients aged 60 years or older with hematologic malignancies, HSCT can serve as a viable treatment option, particularly for those with refractory recurrence and high cytogenetic risk, as it has the potential to significantly enhance prognosis and increase both EFS and OS rates.
