Objective:To explore the risk factors of renal function progression in patients with acute renal injury (AKI) after moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest surgery in acute aortic dissection (AD).Methods:Retrospective analysis was made base on the data of 290 patients with acute AD who underwent surgical treatment from January 2014 to August 2022 in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University. According to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) AKI diagnostic criteria in 2015, patients with AKI after surgery were selected as the study objects. Patients with progressive deterioration of renal function or required continuous renal replacement therapy after AD operation were defined as the progression group of AKI, the other patients with gradual improvement of renal function after AD operation were defined as the improvement group of AKI. The clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors for the progression of AKI after AD were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:A total of 290 AD surgeries were completed, of which 143 cases developed AKI after surgery, including 81 cases in AKI progression group and 62 cases in AKI improvement group. In the progression group of AKI, before surgery the proportion of patients with coronary heart disease: 24.7% (20/81) vs.11.3% (7/62), serum creatinine (Scr) >133 μmol/L: 24.7% (20/81) vs. 3.2% (2/62), pericardial tamponade: 22.2% (18/81) vs. 8.1% (5/62), lower limb ischemia: 25.9% (21/81) vs. 3.2% (2/62) were significantly increased. Postoperative acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE) score: 14.00 (9.00, 19.75) scores vs. 10.00 (7.00, 12.00) scores, ICU hospitalization days: 8 (5, 13) d vs. 5 (3, 7) d, postoperative mortality: 24.7%(20/81) vs. 1.6%(1/62), the proportion of KDIGO phase 3 ratio: 46.9%(38/81) vs. 3.2%(2/62), postoperative infection: 61.7%(50/81) vs. 38.7% (24/62), low cardiac output syndrome: 29.6% (24/81) vs. 6.5% (4/62), cerebral infarction complications: 38.2%(31/81) vs. 16.1%(10/62), and mortality after surgery were also higher. Compared with improvement group of AKI, all differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative lower limb ischemia ( OR = 9.430, 95% CI 1.975 to 45.032, P = 0.005), postoperative low cardiac output syndrome ( OR = 5.288, 95% CI 1.543 to 18.126, P = 0.008), and postoperative infection ( OR = 2.273, 95% CI 1.022 to 5.057, P = 0.044) were independent risk factors for the progression of AKI after AD surgery. Conclusions:The independent risk factors of renal function progression in patients with AKI after hypothermic circulatory arrest surgery in acute AD include preoperative lower limb ischemia, postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, and postoperative infection.

Objective:To investigate the perioperative complications and risk factors of postoperative death in patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).Methods:The perioperative data of 228 patients with ATAAD who underwent continuous surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2013 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The complications were analyzed. According to the survival within 30 days after surgery, they were divided into death group (24 cases) and survival group (204 cases). The risk factors of postoperative death were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawed to evaluate the predictive efficacy of various risk factors on postoperative death of ATAAD patients.Results:The first three complications before operation were hypoxemia (10.1%, 23/228), pericardial tamponade (7.9%, 18/228), renal insufficiency (5.3%, 12/228), the first three complications after surgery were hypoxemia (75.8%, 173/228), renal insufficiency (26.8%, 61/228) and liver insufficiency (26.3%, 60/228). A total of 24 patients died, the fatality rate was 10.5%(24/228). Logistic regression analysis showed that age≥55 years old ( OR=7.733, 95% CI: 1.986-30.111, P=0.003), preoperative pericardial tamponade ( OR=5.641, 95% CI: 1.546-20.577, P=0.009), cardiopulmonary bypass time (CBP)≥200 min ( OR=1.008, 95% CI: 1.002-1.014, P=0.007) and postoperative renal insufficiency ( OR=5.875, 95% CI: 1.927-17.907, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for early death after ATAAD. The area under the ROC curves of joint prediction was 0.905 (95% CI: 0.820-0.950, P<0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of joint prediction were 88.4%, 76.5%, respectively. Conclusions:ATAAD has many perioperative complications and high mortality. Age≥55 years old, preoperative pericardial tamponade, CPB time≥200 min, and postoperative renal insufficiency were independent risk factors for postoperative death in ATAAD patients.

The construction of hierarchical medical care system functions as the pillar, to support the coordinated development of hospitals, primary health institutions and public health institutions.This way a public hospital comprehensive reform mode is established featuring " one value system, 2 levels of organization structure, 6 mechanisms, and 19 supporting measures ". Its experiences may serve as reference to streamline hospital internal operation and external cooperation mechanism.

Objective To assess the risk factors of intradialytic-hypotension (IDH) and the prognosis of IDH among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients for the prevention and treatment of IDH.Methods 276 MHD patients were enrolled during Jan.2009 to Mar.2009.Intradialytic blood pressure was monitored during a 3-month period.IDH was defined as an event characterized by a sudden drop in systolic BP more than 20 mmHg or in mean artery pressure (MAP) more than 10 mmHgassociated with clinical events and need for interventions.Dialysis-related information was collected.Kaplan-Meier method,log-rank test,logistic regression and Cox regression analyses were performed to examine the association between IDH and survival,using a follow-up through 31 May 2014.Results A total of 276 patients were recruited.The incidence rate of IDH was 40.9％.163 patients with no-IDH (＜ 1/10 hypotensive events/3 months) served as controls.113 patients with IDH (≥ 1/10 hypotensive events/3 months) were identified among all 276 patients.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,ultrafiltration rate,gender,serum NT-proBNP,serum albumin and aortic rool inside dimension (AoRD) were associated with IDH among MHD patients.During the 5-year follow-up,74 patients died,with a mortality rate 5.2 per 100 person-year.Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed significant difference of overall and CV mortality rates between 2 groups.The multivariate Cox regression model indicated that IDH increased the risk of death (HR=1.572,95％CI 1.077-2.293,P=0.019).So did the rise of LVMI (HR=1.010,95％CI 1.009-1.085,P=0.020).Conclusion Elderly,female,high ultrafiltration rate,high level of serum NT-proBNP,hypoalbuminemia and shorter AoRD are independent risk factors for IDH among MHD patients.LVMI can predict the outcome of MHDpatients.Intradialytic hypotension is an independent risk factor for long-term mortality in MHD patients.

Objective To explore the effect of two methods on phlebitis induced by peripherally intravenously infused dopamine. Methods One hundred and ninety-five patients with phlebitis caused by peripherally intravenously infused dopamine were randomly divided into experiment group and control group according to the parity of hospitalization number in our department during September 2013 to December 2014. Ninety-eighty cases were assigned in the experiment group and 97 in the control group. In the control group, the venous infusion was done with 24G common intravenous detaining needle and general micro pump infusion extension tube. In the experiment group, it was done with 24G safety intravenous detaining needle, disposable connecting pipe with precision filter and DuoDERM attached to the needle wing of puncture site and its upper skin. The two groups were compared in terms of the incidence and occurrence time of phlebitis. Results The incidence of phlebitis in the experiment group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and its severity significantly lower than that of the control group. In addition, the occurrence time was significantly longer than that in the control group. Conclusion Venous infusing with 24G safety intravenous detaining needle, disposable connecting pipe with precision filter, and DuoDERM attached to the needle wing of puncture site and its upper skin can effectively reduce the incidence and occurrence time of phlebitis caused by dopamine.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and prognosis influential factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery.Methods The clinical data of patients who were hospitalized and underwent cardiac surgery from April 2009 to May 2011 were collected prospectively.Demographic characteristics,types of surgeries,preoperative renal function,pre-and intra-operative conditions and clinical outcomes,etc were recorded.Results A total of 4007 patients underwent cardiac surgery were recruited.The overall incidence of AKI was 31.2％ (1250/4007).The incidence of AKI requiring renal replacement treatment (AKI-RRT) was 2.6％ (104/4007).The overall hospital mortality was 1.9％ (77/4007),and was significantly higher in AKI group than in non-AKI group (5.4％ vs 0.3％,P ＜0.01).The hospital mortality of AKI-RRT group was 36.5％ (38/104).Grouped by type of surgery,cardiac transplantation had the highest AKI incidence (73.0％) and highest in-hospital mortality (18.9％),followed by coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) combined with valve surgery (AKI incidence 57.8％,in-hospital mortality 6.1％) and aneurysm surgery (AKI incidence 52.0％,in-hospital mortality 5.5％).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that man,age,BMI,hypertension,chronic heart failure,pre-operative serum creatinine (SCr) ＞ 106.0 μmol/L,intra-operative cardiopulmonary bypass time,intra-operative hypotension and aneurysm surgery were the risk factors of AKI after cardiac surgery.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pre-operative SCr ＞ 106.0 μmol/L and intra-operative hypotension were independent risk factors of renal recovery after cardiac surgery while recovery of urine output was the favorable factor.Conclusions Cardiac surgery usually induces high AKI incidence and poor prognosis,which closely associated with many risk factors in peri-operative stage.The incidence of AKI is related to a number of perioperative risk factors.Heart transplantation,aneurysm surgery,CABG combined valve surgery are high risk surgeries.

Objective To assess the risk factors of intradialytic-hypotension (IDH) among maintaining hemodialysis (MHD) patients and to explore the relation between NT-proBNP and IDH,thus to provide clinical evidence for the prevention and treatment of IDH.Methods A total of 202 MHD patients during March 2009 to May 2009 in our dialysis center were enrolled in the study.Intradialytic blood pressure (BP) was measured during a 3-month period.IDH was defined as an event characterized by a sudden drop in systolic BP more than 20 mm Hg or in mean artery pressure (MAP) more than l0 mm Hg.Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors of IDH.ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of serum NT-proBNP.Results The incidence of IDH was 42.1％.One hundred and seventeen patients with no-IDH (＜1/10 hypotensive events per 3 months) were served as controls.Fifty-five patients with o-IDH (≥ 1/ 10 but ≤1/3 hypotensive events per 3 months) and 30 patients with f-IDH (＞1/3 hypotensive events per 3 months) were identified among 202 patients.Multivariate regression analysis showed that age,gender,ultrafiltration rate,serum NT-proBNP,serum albumin,aortic root dimension (AoRD) were associated with IDH among MHD patients.Serum NT-proBNP was positively correlated with IDH.The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of NT-proBNP was 0.76 (95％ CI 0.69 to 0.83,P＜0.01).The cut-off value of serum NT-proBNP for IDH was 1746.5 ng/L,with a sensitivity of 88.61％ and a specificity of 51.10％.Furthermore,the AUC of NT-proBNP for f-IDH was 0.65 (95％ CI 0.53 to 0.763,P＜0.01).The cut-off value of serum NT-proBNP for f-IDH was 8208.0 ng/L,with a sensitivity of 33.33％ and a specificity of 91.30％.Conclusions Elderly,female,high ultrafiltration rate,high level of serum NT-proBNP,hypoalbuminemia,shorter AoRD are independent risk factors of IDH among MHD patients.Serum NT-proBNP can be used as a predictor of IDH.

Objective To examine the association between residual renal function at initiation of dialysis and prognosis in maintenance dialysis patients.Methods Incident patients with end-stage renal diseases initiating dialysis between 1 January 2005 and 30 September 2009,followed up to 31 March 2010 were enrolled in this study.Residual renal function was evaluated using eGFR estimated by the abbreviated MDRD equation.Patients were classified into four groups according to eGFR of ≥10.5,8 to ＜10.5,6 to ＜8,＜6 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1.The outcome was all-cause and cardiocerebral vascular mortality.Results (1) A total of 562 patients were included.The median eGFR at initiation of dialysis was 5.60 (2.26-12.62) ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1.The median follow-up time was 17 (0-58) months from initiation of dialysis and 141 patients died within this period.The median survival time was 45.48 (43.05-47.90) months.With eGFR declined,Scr,BUN,serum uric acid,serum prealbumin,phosphorus,calcium and phosphate product,iPTH,mean arterial pressure (MAP) at initiation of dialysis increased (P＜0.05),and hemoglobin,proportion of male,proportion of diabetes comorbidity,proportion of the Charlson comorbidity index ≥5 decreased (P＜0.05).Though there was no significant difference among the four groups,the proportion of left ventricular hypertrophy comorbidity increased when eGFR declined.(2) There was no significant difference of all-cause mortality among four groups using Kaplan-Meire survival curve.Cox regression model indicated no significant difference of all-cause mortality in levels of eGFR (HR=1.012,95％CI 0.961-1.065,P=0.654).Without patients died in the first 3 months,the multivariate Cox regression model indicated eGFR at initiation of dialysis was the protective factor to 1 year survival (HR=0.791,95％CI 0.669-0.935,P＜0.01).(3) The multivariate Cox regression model indicated the risk of overall and 1 year cardiocerebral vascular death decreased with eGFR at initiation of dialysis increased (HR=0.868,95％CI 0.777-0.971,P＜0.05; HR=0.937,95％CI 0.851-0.992,P＜0.05,respectively).(4) The multivariate Cox regression model indicated eGFR at initiation of dialysis was benefit to survival of patients treated by peritoneal dialysis,with all-cause death risk decreased by 10％ when eGFR increased by 1 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 (HR=0.90,95％CI 0.81-0.99,P＜0.05).In hemodialysis patients,Kaplan-Meire survival curve was significantly different among the four groups (Log-rank test,P=0.047); the survival of the group of 8 to ＜10.5 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 was lower as compared to the groups of 6 to ＜8 (Log-rank test,P=0.033) and ＜6 ml·min-1(1.73 m2)-1 (Log-rank test,P=0.005); but the multivariate Cox regression model indicated no relationship between survival and eGFR.In the subgroup of chronic glomerulonephritis as primary renal disease,the eGFR at initiation of dialysis was the benefit factor,with all-cause death risk decreased by 16.6％ (HR=0.834,95％CI 0.736-0.946,P＜0.01) and cardiocerebral vascular death risk decreased by 18.2％ (HR=0.818,95％CI 0.669-0.999,P＜0.05) when eGFR increased by 1 ml ·min-1 ·(1.73 m2)-1.In the subgroup of chronic glomerulonephritis treated by peritoneal dialysis,the all-cause death risk decreased by 32.1％ with eGFR increased by 1 ml·min 1·(1.73 m2)-1 (HR=0.679,95％CI 0.535-0.862,P＜0.01).Conclusions Early initiation of dialysis may not be associated with improved overall survival,but may reduce cardiocerebral vascular and 1 year all-cause mortality,improve the survival of chronic glomerulonephritis patients and peritoneal dialysis patients.

Objective To investigate the correlation between plasma pentraxin 3 (PTX3)and cardiovascular disease(CVD) in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients.Methods Plasma was obtained from 98 MHD patients before and after a session of HD and 50 age-matched healthy subjects.Plasma PTX3 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA).Spearman correlation and linear regression were used to examine the correlation between plasma PTX3 level and other laboratory parameters.Binary Logistic regression was used to assess the correlation between plasma PTX3 level and CVD.Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the correlation among PTX3, high sensitive C-reactive protein(hsCRP) and CVD.Results Plasma PTX3 level was significantly higher in MHD patients compared to healthy controls [1.87 (1.34-2.50) μg/L vs 1.11(0.86-1.51) μg/L, P＜0.01], and increased after a single HD session[post-HD 2.18(1.80-3.14) μg/L vs pre-HD 1.87(1.34-2.50) μg/L, P＜0.01].Patients with CVD had higher concentrations of PTX3 than those without CVD[2.18 (1.48-2.74) μg/L vs 1.76 (1.25-2.26) μg/L, P＜0.05].High plasma PTX3 (＞1.87 μg/L) was positively and independently associated with CVD[OR=3.15, 95％CI(1.17-8.50), P＜0.05].ROC curve analysis showed the PTX3 was more closely correlated to CVD than hsCRP in MHD patients with hsCRP ＞3 mg/L, and the area under the curve of PTX3 and hsCRP was 0.655 ±0.083(P＜0.05) and 0.562±0.083(P＞0.05) respectively.Plasma PTX3 level was negatively correlated with body mass index (ρ=-0.248,P＜0.05), pre-albumin(ρ=-0.218, P＜0.05), total cholesterol(ρ=-0.265, P＜0.01), triglyceride (ρ=-0.246, P＜0.05), LDL-cholesterol (ρ=-0.254, P＜0.05), hemoglobin (ρ=-0.212, P＜0.05), and positively with erythropoietin dose per week(ρ=0.184, P＜0.01), cardiac troponin T (ρ=0.287,P＜0.01), carotid artery intima-media thickness (ρ=0.294, P＜0.05).Conclusions PTX3 level ismarkedly elevated in HD patients.HD procedure induces PTX3 elevation.Plasma PTX3 could be auseful marker of CVD risk factors in MHD patients.
