Objective To meet the clinical need for dynamic monitoring on lactate metabolism in septic shock pa-tients,a time-series prediction model based on a long short-term memory(LSTM)network was developed to predict 24-hour lactate clearance rate at admission.Methods A multi-stage retrospective cohort design was adopted to en-roll septic shock patients admitted to the department of critical care medicine of a hospital from January 2018 to Sep-tember 2024.By conducting univariate analysis and LASSO combined feature screening,predictive factors were extracted from multidimensional clinical data.An end-to-end LSTM framework(two-layer 64/32 units,dropout rate=0.3)was constructed.A sliding window strategy(six-hour step size)was adopted for dynamic prediction and compared with traditional logistic model in terms of three dimensions:calibration(Brier score),discrimination(area under the curve[AUC]of time-dependent receiver operating characteristic[ROC]),and clinical practicality(deci-sion curve analysis).Consistency between model prediction result and actual lactate clearance rate was analyzed,and the accuracy of prediction was evaluated.Results A total of 112 septic shock patients were enrolled in the analysis,including 65 males and 47 females,with an average age of(67.35±7.28)years.65 patients were assigned in the lactate good clearance rate group(lactate good clearance rate≥10%)and 47 in the lactate poor clearance rate group(lactate good clearance rate<10%);78 patients were in the training set and 34 in the validation set.Time-depen-dent AUC analysis revealed that the predictive performance of the LSTM model in the time windows of 6,12,and 24 hours were 0.89(0.85-0.93),0.91(0.88-0.95),and 0.92(0.89-0.96),respectively,superior to the logistic regression model(ΔAUC=0.085,P<0.01).The core predictive factors included APACHE Ⅱ score(OR=1.38),lactate level at admission(OR=1.65),vasoactive drug dosage(OR=1.42),and 6-hour fluid resuscitation dosage(OR=1.35).The Pearson correlation coefficient between the predicted value of the model and the actual 24-hour lactate clearance rate was 0.83(P<0.001),with an average absolute error of 8.2%.Decision curve analysis confirmed that when the threshold probability was 15%-60%,the LSTM model could increase clinical net benefits by 27.3%.The validation of each subgroup showed that the model maintained the optimal predictive performance(AUC=0.87)in the lung infection subgroup(n=16).Conclusion The LSTM-based dynamic prediction model for predicting 24-hour lactate clearance rate through integrating early admission indicators demonstrates excellent pre-dictive performance and clinical application value,which can provide important reference for individualized treatment decisions in septic shock patients.

Objective:To compare the surgical efficacy of pericardial soft ring tricuspid valvuloplasty with DeVega and artificial valvuloplasty.Methods:227 patients undergoing tricuspid valvuloplasty due to rheumatic heart disease complicated with functional tricuspid valve insufficiency were retrospectively analyzed and divided into 3 groups according to tricuspid valvuloplasty dynamic cohort(pericardial ring group, 89 cases; the artificial flap ring group, 61 cases, and the DeVega group, 77 cases) were matched 1∶1 for propensity score(match A: pericardial ring group and artificial flap ring group; match B: pericardial ring group and DeVega group), the successful matching was included in follow-up and data collection, and cases with incomplete case data during follow-up were removed from the study cohort in pairs according to matching conditions. The results of follow-up 1 month, 6 months and 24 months after surgery were compared.Results:1 month after operation: the tricuspid valve regurgitant in all groups was significantly reduced or even disappeared compared with that before operation, and the right atrium and right ventricle were also smaller than that before operation, with statistical significance( P<0.05). 6 months after surgery: There was no statistical significance in the area of tricuspid regurgitation and right atrial/indoor diameter between all groups compared with the results one month after surgery( P>0.05), and there was no statistical significance in the recurrence rate of tricuspid regurgitation between all groups( P>0.05). 24 months after surgery: There were no significant differences in the recurrence rate of tricuspid regurgitation, area of tricuspid regurgitation and right atrial/indoor diameter between the two groups in matching A( P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the right atrial/indoor diameter between the matched pericardial ring group and the Devega group, but the tricuspid valve regurgentation area of the Devega group at 24 months after surgery was higher than that of the Devega group at 1 month after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). The regurgitation area and recurrence rate of tricuspid valve were significantly higher than those of pericardium-TVP group( P<0.05). Conclusion:Pericardial soft ring tricuspid valvuloplasty can effectively correct functional tricuspid valvuloplasty and reverse right heart remodeling, which is an effective tricuspid valvuloplasty.

Objective::Data comparing the outcomes of MiStent (Micell Technologies, Durham, North Carolina, USA) microcrystalline biodegradable polymer (BP) drug-eluting stent (DES) and those of another post-marketing BP-DES, TIVOLI (EssenTech, Beijing, China) are rare. This study sought to compare the angiographic efficacy and clinical outcomes of the microcrystalline BP sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) system MiStent and those of TIVOLI BP-SES.Methods::The DESSOLVE-C trial was a prospective, single-blinded, multicenter, randomized trial (NCT02448524), which randomly assigned patients with de novo coronary lesions to receive MiStent or TIVOLI BP-SES by a 1:1 ratio. The primary endpoint was a non-inferiority comparison of in-stent late lumen loss (LLL) by quantitative coronary angiography at 9 months. The secondary endpoint was device-related clinical cardiovascular composite events (target lesion failure (TLF), composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (MI), and clinically driven target lesion revascularization) and 1-year outcomes. Results::A total of 428 patients (216 patients in the MiStent group and 212 patients in the TIVOLI group) were enrolled and included in an intention-to-treat analysis. MiStent was not only non-inferior but superior to TIVOLI for in-stent LLL at 9 months ((0.23 ± 0.37) mm vs. (0.34 ± 0.48) mm, P for non-inferiority <0.001, P for superiority = 0.02). Although without significant difference, the rate of TLF in MiStent was quantitatively lower than that in TIVOLI (3.70% vs. 6.60%; P = 0.17). Conclusion::Compared with TIVOLI BP-SES, the MiStent system was superior in in-stent LLL at 9 months and had a comparable clinical benefit at 1 year in de novo coronary lesions.
