Objective:To investigate the current situation and characteristics of post-intensive care syndrome in elderly patients during the transitional period, and explore its influencing factors.Methods:From December 2022 to September 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 119 elderly patients in the Intensive Care Unit of China-Japan Friendship Hospital as the research subject. The General Information Questionnaire, Short Physical Performance Battery, Fatigue Scale-14, Barthel Index, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Mini-mental State Examination were used to evaluate patients for post-intensive care syndrome from cognitive, psychological, and physiological aspects 7 days after their transfer from the Intensive Care Unit. Binomial Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of post-intensive care syndrome in elderly patients.Results:Among 119 elderly patients, 84 developed post-intensive care syndrome, with an incidence of 70.6%. The binomial Logistic regression showed that women and high nutritional risk were risk factors for the occurrence of post-intensive care syndrome in elderly patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of post-intensive care syndrome is high in elderly patients during the transition period, with females and patients with high nutritional risk being prone to developing post-intensive care syndrome. Medical and nursing staff should pay attention to identifying gender differences, focus on high-risk populations, and dynamically evaluate different symptoms early on to provide precise interventions for elderly patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of peripheral cutting balloon (PCB) in the treatment of long stenosis of arteriovenous fistula, and to explore the influencing factors of restenosis after PCB treatment.Methods:It was a single-center retrospective study. The patients with long stenosis (>2 cm) of arteriovenous fistula who received PCB treatment of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in Haidian Hospital, the Third Hospital of Peking University from August to November 2021. The clinical and follow-up data after PTA operation were collected and analyzed, and the primary patency rate and primary assist patency rate of fistula at 3, 6 and 12 months after PTA operation were calculated. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve of the primary patency rate of fistula, and log-rank test was used to compare the differences of primary patency rates of fistula between two groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of fistula restenosis after PCB treatment.Results:A total of 65 patients aged (62.57±11.55) years old were included in this study, including 42 males (64.62%), 61 (93.85%) autologous arteriovenous fistula and 4 (6.15%) arteriovenous graft. The narrowest diameter of fistula stenosis ( t=-41.731, P<0.001) and brachial artery blood flow ( t=-12.510, P<0.001) after PCB treatment were significantly higher than those before PCB treatment. The resistance index of fistula after PCB treatment was significantly lower than that before PCB treatment ( t=9.241, P<0.001). The technical success rate of PTA was 100% (65/65), and the clinical success rate of PTA was 96.92% (63/65). Only 2 patients failed to complete hemodialysis after PCB treatment, and no serious postoperative complications occurred. The follow-up time was 12 (7, 13) months. Fistula dysfunction occurred in 24 patients (36.92%) within 12 months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the primary patency rates were 90.77%, 81.54% and 63.08% at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively, and the primary assist patency rate at 12 months was 100% (65/65). The risk of fistula restenosis in patients with long stenosis ≥36 mm was significantly higher than that in patients with long stenosis <36 mm (log-rank χ2=6.007, P=0.014). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that increased stenosis length ( HR=1.022, 95% CI 1.001-1.045, P=0.042) was an independent influencing factor of fistula restenosis within 12 months after PCB treatment. Conclusions:PCB is safe and effective in the treatment of long segment stenosis associated with fistula. The increased stenosis length is an independent influencing factor of restenosis in fistula after PCB treatment.

A 14-year-old boy presented with coma and convulsion following a 3-day high fever of unknown origin was initially diagnosed with a central nervous system infection with uncertain pathogen. Direct microscopic examination of wet slides of cerebrospinal fluid cytology revealed active amoeboid trophozoites with different shapes. The amoeba trophozoite could be seen at high magnification after Wright′s-Giemsa staining. A diagnosis of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis was made according to the cellular morphology results of the cerebrospinal fluid, imaging data, and clinical symptoms. After high-throughput gene detection targeting the infection pathogen and specific PCR verification of amoeba species, it was confirmed that the infection was caused by Naegleria fowleri. Timely antiamoebic treatment and other related treatments were implemented, but the patient progressed to brain death after 50 days, leading to the discontinuation of treatment by the family.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of microRNA-452-5p(miR-452-5p)and SRY box related gene 7(SOX7)in esophageal cancer tissue and their relationship with clinical pathological parameters and prognosis.Methods 106 esophageal cancer patients admitted to our hospital from June 2017 to May 2019 were selected as the study subjects.The expression of miR-452-5p and SOX7 mRNA are detected in esophageal cancer patients,the relationship between miR-452-5p and SOX7 mRNA expression in cancer tissue and clinical pathological parameters are analyzed.Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan Meier method,and COX univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors affecting the prognosis of esophageal cancer.Results Compared to adjacent tissues,the expression level of miR-452-5p is higher in cancer tissues(P＜0.05),and the expression level of SOX7 mRNA is lower(P＜0.05).Compared to patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ tumors,no lymph node metastasis,and deep invasion(Tis-T2)esophageal cancer,miR-452-5p has higher expression levels in cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis,stage Ⅲtumors,and deep invasion(T3-T4),and lower expression levels of SOX7 mRNA(P＜0.05).Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis showed that the overall 3-year survival rate of patients in the miR-452-5p high expression group was 30.4％(17/56),while in the miR-452-5p low expression group it was 54.0％(27/50).The difference in cumulative overall survival rate was statistically significant(Log-rank x2=6.082,P=0.014);The 3-year overall survival rates of patients in the SOX7 mRNA high expression group and the SOX7 mRNA low expression group were 53.7％(29/54)and 28.8％(15/52),respectively.The difference in cumulative overall survival rates was statistically significant(Log-rank x2=6.742,P=0.009).The results of COX univariate regression analysis showed that miR-452-5p,SOX7 mRNA,tumor stage,depth of infiltration,lymph node metastasis are related to the prognosis of esophageal cancer.The results of COX multivariate regression analysis showed that independent factors affecting the prognosis of esophageal cancer include lymph node metastasis,low expression of SOX7 mRNA,stage Ⅲ tumor stage,high expression of miR-452-5p,and depth of infiltration(T3～T4).Conclusion MiR-452-5p is highly expressed in esophageal cancer tissue,while SOX7 mRNA is low in esophageal cancer tissue.Its level is related to lymph node metastasis,tumor staging,and depth of infiltration,and is closely related to the prognosis of esophageal cancer patients.

A cerebral oximeter based on 3-wavelength spatially resolved spectroscopy and the modified Lambert-Beer law is proposed.A platform for monitoring the regional cerebral oxygen saturation(rSO2)is established,and the system reliability is verified through spectral stability and background noise test.Eighteen volunteers are recruited to participate in the controlled hypoxia test for exploring the trend of rSO2 with the sequence of stepped hypoxia platform and discussing the relationship between rSO2 and arterial blood oxygen saturation.The results show that the established system can effectively monitor rSO2 and meet the measurement requirements.During the controlled hypoxia sequence,as the fraction of inspired oxygen decreases,rSO2 shows a downward trend,and the individual rSO2 has a high correlation with arterial blood oxygen saturation.
