Objective:To visualize the relationship between different combinations of mechanical power exposure intensity-duration and death risk in mechanical ventilation patients using a visualization method.Methods:Critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation were selected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅳ v1.0 (MIMIC-Ⅳ v1.0) database. The patients were divided into four subgroups according to oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2) including > 300 mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa) group, 201-300 mmHg group, 101-200 mmHg group and ≤100 mmHg group. The baseline characteristics, ventilator parameters, and prognostic indicators for different patient populations were collected. For each patient, the mechanical power thresholds from low to high (5-30 J/min, increasing at intervals of 1 J/min) were used to evaluate the different exposures of mechanical power (above the set threshold was recorded as one exposure), and the number of events with different exposure intensity-duration combinations was counted based on their corresponding durations. Based on the 28-day survival/non-survival status, the number of exposures for survivors and non-survivors in each exposure intensity-duration combination was calculated, and the survival odds ratio ( OR) for different mechanical power exposure intensity-duration combinations was subsequently computed. Two-dimensional tables were generated with mechanical power exposure duration on the x-axis and exposure intensity on the y-axis, and the heatmap and its corresponding equipotential line view were used to visualize the OR value to assess the risk of death. Results:A total of 5 378 patients receiving mechanical ventilation were enrolled in the study, of whom 2 069 patients in the PaO 2/FiO 2 > 300 mmHg group, 813 patients in the 201-300 mmHg group, 1 493 patients in the 101-200 mmHg group, and 1 003 patients in the ≤100 mmHg group. The severity scores of patients, including sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score and simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ (SAPSⅡ), gradually increased following the decrease in PaO 2/FiO 2, and the incidence of co-morbidities also gradually increased. In terms of ventilator parameters, mechanical power was increased gradually with decrease in PaO 2/FiO 2, measuring 10.4 (7.8, 13.9), 11.3 (8.5, 14.7), 13.6 (10.0, 18.2), and 16.7 (12.5, 22.0) J/min ( P < 0.01). In terms of prognosis, 28-day mortality of patients was gradually increased with decrease in PaO 2/FiO 2 [29.1% (601/2 069), 26.9% (219/813), 28.1% (420/1 493), and 33.3% (334/1 003), respectively, P < 0.05]. In the heatmap, it could be observed that the 28-day death risk of mechanical ventilation patients was gradually increased with increase in mechanical power exposure intensity and long duration, showing two distinct areas: a region near the bottom left corner (representing low mechanical power exposure intensity and short duration) was blue, indicating a greater chance of survival. In contrast, another region near the top right corner (representing high mechanical power exposure intensity and long duration) was red, indicating a higher risk of death. According to the fitted lines of death risk, for the same risk of death, a shorter mechanical power exposure duration was required for higher exposure intensity, while lower mechanical power exposure intensity required a longer exposure duration. The above trend of change was similarly reflected in the overall population and different oxygenation populations. Conclusions:Cumulative mechanical power exposure to higher intensity and/or longer duration is associated with worse outcomes in mechanical ventilation patients. Considering both the mechanical power exposure intensity and duration may help to evaluate the effectiveness of lung protection in mechanical ventilation patients and guide adjustments in mechanical ventilation strategy to reduce the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury.

Objective:To study the effects of fluoride exposure on skeletal development of zebrafish larvae and its possible molecular mechanisms.Methods:Six hours post fertilization(6 hpf) wild-type zebrafish embryos were selected and exposed to sodium fluoride [NaF, control group (0 mg/L NaF), low fluoride group (25 mg/L NaF) and high fluoride group (100 mg/L NaF)] for 9 days. Fluorine ion selective electrode was used to detect the overall fluorine content of zebrafish larvaes, and the death and development of zebrafish larvaes were observed and counted. Bone mineralization and chondrogenesis of the zebrafish larvaes were analyzed by alizarin red staining and alcin blue staining, respectively. The expression levels of sry-related-high-mobilty-group box 9a (Sox9a), osteprotegerin (OPG) and receptor-activator of nuclear factor kappa beta ligant (RANKL) were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR.Results:Compared with control group [(0.12 ± 0.01) μg/140 larvaes], the overall fluorine contents of zebrafish larvaes in low fluoride group [(0.28 ± 0.03) μg/140 larvaes] and high fluoride group [(0.64 ± 0.10) μg/140 larvaes] were significantly higher, and the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Compared with control group, zebrafish larvaes in high fluoride group had shorter body length, higher swim bladder loss rate and higher spinal curvature rate ( P < 0.05). The alizarin red staining area, integrated optical density (IOD) and the number of mineralized vertebrae were higher in low fluoride group, while the alcin blue staining area of cartilage formation was lower ( P < 0.05). In the high fluoride group, alizarin red staining area, IOD and the number of mineralized vertebrae were lower, while the alcin blue staining area of cartilage formation was higher ( P < 0.05). Compared with control group, the expression levels of OPG mRNA and OPG/RANKL mRNA in low fluoride group were higher ( P < 0.05); the expression level of RANKL mRNA was higher in high fluoride group, while the expression level of OPG/RANKL mRNA was lower ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:A short period of fluoride exposure from zebrafish embryo to zebrafish larvae can cause abnormal bone development of zebrafish larvae, which may be related to endochondral osteogenesis and OPG/RANKL pathway.
