Objective:To investigate the efficacy of alveolar lavage combined with montelukast in the treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and its effect on oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in patients.Methods:A prospective study was conducted involving 90 patients with AECOPD who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Shan County Central Hospital from December 2021 to December 2022. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 45 patients in each group, using the random number table method. The control group received conventional treatment, while the observation group was additionally treated with alveolar lavage combined with montelukast. Symptom score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, overall response rate, serum levels of oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, and superoxide dismutase), and serum levels of inflammatory factors (C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, the symptom scores for both groups decreased significantly compared with their respective scores before treatment ( t = 6.68, 11.32, both P < 0.05). After treatment, the symptom score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(8.69 ± 0.84) points vs. (15.39 ± 1.18) points, t = 8.75, P < 0.05]. After treatment, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 9.19, P < 0.05). The overall response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [93.33% (42/45) vs. 75.56% (34/45), t = 4.56, P < 0.05]. After treatment, serum levels of 4-hydroxynonenal and malondialdehyde in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 4.20, 5.15, both P < 0.05), while serum level of superoxide dismutase in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 5.23, P < 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 6.86, 5.60, 8.75, 4.89, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Alveolar lavage combined with montelukast can reduce clinical symptoms in patients with AECOPD, promote recovery, enhances clinical efficacy, decreases oxidative stress responses, increases the body's antioxidant capacity, lowers the expression of inflammatory factors, and reduces inflammatory responses.

Objective:To explore the value of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in evaluating renal injury in patients with early diabetic nephropathy (DN).Methods:From October 2019 to December 2020, 32 patients with early DN were prospectively enrolled in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. According to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), they were divided into three groups: DN1 (eGFR≥90 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, 11 cases), DN2 (60-<90 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, 11 cases) and DN3 (30-<60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, 10 cases). At the same time, 32 normal volunteers were recruited as the control group. Both kidneys were scanned by QSM to measure the susceptibility of renal cortex and medulla. Paired samples t-test was used to compare the differences of the susceptibility between left and right kidneys and between cortex and medulla. One-way analysis of variance was performed to compare the differences of corresponding susceptibility values among different groups, and LSD- t was used for the pairwise comparison. Pearson correlation test was performed between the susceptibility value of the medulla and eGFR. The ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of QSM parameters in the diagnosis of DN and different degrees of severity of DN. Results:The susceptibility values of bilateral renal medulla in normal volunteers and patients with DN were lower than those of renal cortex (all P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the susceptibility value between left and right renal cortex (all P>0.05). There was significant difference in the susceptibility value between left and right medulla (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the susceptibility value of bilateral renal cortex among the control group and the DN1-DN3 groups (both P>0.05). The susceptibility values of left renal medulla in control group, DN1, DN2 and DN3 groups were (-4.46±1.16)×10 -2, (-5.96±0.97)×10 -2, (-7.97±1.25)×10 -2, (-9.58±1.45)×10 -2 ppm, of right renal medulla were (-3.70±0.65)×10 -2, (-5.06±1.28)×10 -2, (-7.33±1.46)×10 -2, (-9.09±2.22)×10 -2 ppm, respectively. The overall difference of the susceptibility value of bilateral renal medulla was statistically significant (both P<0.05), and there were significant differences between each two groups (all P<0.05). The linear positive correlation were found between the susceptibility values of renal medulla and the corresponding eGFR (left kidney r=0.732, P<0.001; right kidney r=0.684, P<0.001). The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of left and right renal medulla susceptibility value in diagnosis of normal and DN were 0.931 and 0.943, of DN1 and DN (2 and 3) were 0.952 and 0.883, of DN (1 and 2) and DN3 were 0.888 and 0.831, respectively. Conclusion:The susceptibility value of QSM quantitative parameter has a certain value in the staging and differential diagnosis of early DN, among which the susceptibility value of renal medulla has higher diagnostic efficiency.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of nasal high flow oxygen therapy in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods:From June 2017 to June 2018, 61 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) admitted to the Huxi Hospital (Shanxian Central Hospital) Affiliated to Jining Medical College were taken as the clinical research objects. The patients were divided into control group and treatment group by using the random number table method with 31 patients in control group and 30 patients in treatment group. They all treated with anti-infection, anti-inflammation, expectoration, spasmolysis, asthma relief, anticoagulation and nutritional support. The control group was given conventional low flow oxygen therapy, while the treatment group was given nasal high flow oxygen therapy. The changes of partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PSAP), right ventricular pressure maximum rise rate (dp/dt) and the application rate of non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation within 7 d were observed before and 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment. Results:Before treatment, PaO 2, PaCO 2, PSAP and dp/dt of patients in the two groups showed no statistical difference, indicating comparability between groups. Compared with the control group, the PaO 2 in the treatment group decreased at all time points after treatment [(54.37 ± 5.39) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (57.77 ± 6.06) mmHg, (61.87 ± 5.20) mmHg vs. (65.03 ± 4.91) mmHg, (66.93 ± 6.59) mmHg vs. (72.58 ± 7.13) mmHg, (70.20 ± 8.18) mmHg vs. (75.55 ± 7.37) mmHg, P<0.05]. PaCO 2 decreased [(57.97 ± 6.18) mmHg vs. (61.84 ± 6.20) mmHg, (51.27 ± 4.53) mmHg vs. (55.77 ± 5.87) mmHg, (48.57 ± 5.37) mmHg vs. (51.55 ± 4.62) mmHg, (44.70 ± 5.40) mmHg vs. (47.68 ± 5.86) mmHg, P<0.05]. PSAP all decreased [(50.80 ± 6.94) mmHg vs. (54.55 ± 6.58) mmHg, (48.70 ± 6.22) mmHg vs. (52.55 ± 6.91) mmHg, (45.33 ± 7.51) mmHg vs. (49.19 ± 6.40) mmHg, (41.23 ± 9.22) mmHg vs. (45.94 ± 7.35) mmHg, P<0.05]. Dp/dt all increased [(403.77 ± 109.43) mmHg/s vs. (345.39 ± 112.50) mmHg/s, (429.83 ± 102.56) mmHg/s vs. (369.77 ± 110.55) mmHg/s, (483.43 ± 105.20) mmHg/s vs. (426.48 ± 107.27) mmHg/s, (532.43 ± 107.01) mmHg/s vs. (473.74 ± 105.00) mmHg/s. P<0.05]. The application rate of non-invasive/invasive mechanical ventilation in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group within treated for 7 d ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Transnasal high-flow oxygen therapy has a better clinical effect on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is helpful to improve the right heart function.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of domestic RECO flow restoration device in acute intracranial large-vessel occlusion (LVO).Methods:This study was a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open, controlled trial; 136 patients with acute intracranial LVO at 7 Chinese stroke centers from February 2014 to August 2016 were randomly assigned into an experimental group (thrombectomy by RECO device, n=67) and a control group (thrombectomy by Solitaire device, n=69). The efficacy and safety of patients from the two groups were compared and analyzed. The primary efficacy end point was set as achievement of good recanalization (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction [mTICI] grading≥2); the secondary efficacy end points included good prognosis (modified Rankin scale scores≤2 90 d after thrombectomy), time from puncture to achieving good recanalization/time from puncture to final angiogram on condition that good recanalization was not gained, or mortality within 90 d of thrombectomy. The safety end points included any device-related serious adverse events, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage or serious adverse events within 24 of thrombectomy. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in successful rate of good recanalization (91.0% vs. 86.9%), good prognosis rate (62.7% vs. 46.4%), time from puncture to achieving good recanalization/time from puncture to final angiogram on condition that good recanalization was not gained([85.4±47.0] min vs. [89.9±53.3] min), and mortality within 90 d of thrombectomy (13.4% vs. 23.2%, P>0.05). There were no device-related serious adverse events in all patients. No significant differences were found in the incidences of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (1.5% vs. 7.4%) or serious adverse events (death [1.5% vs. 1.4%] and brain hernia [4.5% vs. 0.0%]) between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The domestic RECO flow restoration device is an effective and safe mechanical thrombectomy stent retriver for acute intracranial LVO.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of histogram analysis of susceptible signal intensity in differentiating papillary (pRCC) from chromophobe renal cell carcinoma(ChRCC). Methods Thirteen cases with pRCC and 9 cases with ChRCC, who underwent susceptible-weighted imaging(SWI), MR common scanning and enhancement, were assessed retrospectively. The histogram parameters of susceptible signal intensity were measured, including maximum, minimum, mean, median, skewness and kurtosis. The independent samples t test(normal distribution) and Mann-Whitney rank sum test(skewed distribution) were used to compare the differences in SWI parameters between pRCCs and ChRCCs. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the efficiency of the whole-tumor SWI parameters in differentiating pRCCs from ChRCCs. Results The significant differences of the minimum, mean, median and skewness between pRCCs and ChRCCs were present(P<0.05), and there was no significant differences in maximum and kurtosis between between pRCCs and ChRCCs(P>0.05). In all the histogram parameters, the area of ROC curve of mean value was largest(0.80). The sensitivity of minimum value (84.62%) was the highest and and the specificity of skewness(100.00%) was the highest. Conclusion Histogram analysis of susceptible signal intensity can help differentiate pRCCs from ChRCCs.
