Objective:To evaluate the effects of opioid-sparing analgesia on the incidence of sepsis in severely burned patients in the retrospective cohort study.Methods:The clinical data from patients with severe burns admitted to three teaching hospitals in Guangdong from 2011 to 2020 were retrospectively extracted and analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on the analgesic regimen within 30 days after injury: continuous opioids analgesia group (continuous opioid infusion at a relative constant rate for more than 72 h) and opioid-sparing analgesia group (patient-controlled intravenous analgesia/intermittent administration/opioid-free analgesia). Patient′s age, severity of burn, inhalation injury and basal pain score at rest were matched by the propensity score at a 1∶1 ratio. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of sepsis within 90 days of admission. Secondary outcome measures included 30-day and 90-day all-cause mortality, clinical diagnosis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and prevalence of burn wound infection. The amount of opioid used was also recorded.Results:A total of 328 severely burned patients were finally enrolled, with 145 patients in continuous opioid analgesia group and 183 patients in opioid-sparing analgesia group, and 110 pairs of patients (220 cases) were finally matched by the propensity score.Compared with continuous opioid analgesia group, the total consumption of opioid, daily consumption per analgesia, and consumption per burn area were significantly decreased, and the incidence of sepsis and wound infection was decreased( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, 30-day and 90-day all-cause mortality in opioid-sparing analgesia group( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the continuous opioid analgesia regimen, opioid-sparing analgesia can reduce the risk of sepsis in severely burned patients.

Objective:To analyze the phenotype and genotype of a Chinese pedigree with congenital dysfibrinogenemia and investigate the molecular mechanism of the disease.Methods:Pedigree analysis. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 7 members of the pedigree and routine coagulation tests were conducted. The activity of fibrinogen was measured using Clauss method, and fibrinogen antigen was measured by immunoturbidimetry. All the exons and exon-intron boundaries of FGA, FGB and FGG genes were amplified using PCR, which was followed by direct sequencing. Electrophoretic and immunological analysis of fibrinogen, fibrinogen clottability measurement, fibrin polymerization measurement and scanning electron microscopy were used to investigate the pathogenesis of this disease. Results:The proband showed normal activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) , prolonged prothrombin time(PT), thrombin time (TT),and reptilase time (RT).The antigen level of fibrinogen in the proband (1.6 g/L) decreased slightly, while the activity level of fibrinogen (0.7 g/L) decreased significantly. His father and grandmother showed normal APTT and PT, prolonged TT and RT. The antigen levels of fibrinogen in both of them were normal (2.0 g/L and 2.2 g/L, respectively), while the activity levels of fibrinogen were low (1.0 g/L and 1.1 g/L, respectively). The results of other members from the pedigree were all within the normal range. Genetic analysis revealed a heterozygous A>G mutation at nucleotide 4774 in exon 6 of FGG gene in the proband, which was predicated to be a novel Gln195Arg mutation. The mutation was also found in his father and grandmother.Western blot results showed that no abnormal bands of plasma fibrinogen were found in the proband, his father and grandmother. The fibrinogen clottability in the proband was 49.3%, while that in the heathy control was 98.9%. Both thrombin-induced fibrin polymerization and reptilase-induced fibrin polymerization were significantly impaired in the proband, compared to that in the heathy control. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that compared with the heathy control, the average fiber diameters of the fibrin clot in the proband increased significantly ( P<0.001), while the density of fibers decreased and the arrangement of fibers was sparse. Conclusions:The heterozygous Arg19Gly mutation, which probably damages functions of fibrinogen, should be responsible for the congenital dysfibrinogenemia in this pedigree. This mutation has not been reported.

Objective:
To analyze the phenotype and genotype of a Chinese pedigree with inherited dysfibrinogenaemia and investigate the molecular mechanism of the disease.
Methods:
Venous blood samples were collected from all family members, and routine coagulation tests were conducted. Functional fibrinogen in venous blood samples was measured by Clauss method, and the antigen level of fibrinogen in plasma was measured by immunoturbidimetry assay. All the exons and exon-intron boundaries of the three fibrinogen genes were analyzed by direct sequencing. Fibrinogen electrophoresis, fibrinogen clottability measurement, fibrin polymerisation measurement and electron microscopy scanning were also used to investigate the molecular characteristics and pathogenesis.
Results:
The proband had normal activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and plasma fibrinogen antigen, but prolonged thrombin time, prolonged reptilase time and reduced fibrinogen activity level, which were also found in his father. The sequencing results of the proband revealed heterozygous A1211G in the exon 2 of FGA gene originating from his father, which caused Arg19Gly missense mutation. The western-blot results showed that no abnormal bands of plasma fibrinogen were found in the proband and his father. Both thrombin-induced fibrin polymerisation and reptilase induced fibrin polymerisation were significantly impaired compared to normal control. Fibrinogen clottability measurement showed that only about 20.8% molecules of plasma fibrinogen in the proband were involved in the clot formation. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the proband′s average fibre diameters were found to be significantly thicker than that of the control(P<0.001), and the density was smaller than that of normal control.
Conclusion
The Arg19Gly mutation should be responsible for the proband′s dysfibrinogenaemia and the relevant clinical symptoms.

Objective To explore the correlation between injection peak pressure and tubal patency during real-time three-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography(RT 3D-HyCoSy).Methods One hundred and seven patients who were scheduled to undergo transvaginal RT 3D-HyCoSy with SonoVue contrast agent were included in the study.They were injected with contrast agent by an YLD-YZ-800 auto contrast agent injection device. The patients were divided into tubal patency included bilateral patency group,one side patency group and bilateral positive group according to imaging results. During the examination,the injection peak pressure was recorded to analyze whether there were significant differences among the three groups.Results The contrast agent injection peak pressures of bilateral patency group,one side patency group and bilateral positive group were (34.58 ± 8.25)kPa,(44.85 ± 10.05)kPa and (54.26 ± 11.65)kPa,respectively. The differences of injection pressure among the three groups were statistically significant ( F = 38.732; P = 0.000,0.000,0.033). The peak pressure was negatively correlated with tubal patency ( r = -0.653,P =0.000).Conclusions Contrast agent injection peak pressure is associated with tubal patency in RT 3D-HyCoSy,and can be quantitatively measured to help for assessing fallopian tube patency.
