Objective To investigate the risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Methods The data of the patients who underwent robotic cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) from July 2016 to June 2022 in Daping Hospital of Army Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether arrhythmia occurred after operation, the patients were divided into an arrhythmia group and a non-arrhythmia group. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analysis were used to screen the risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Results A total of 146 patients were enrolled, including 55 males and 91 females, with an average age of 43.03±13.11 years. There were 23 patients in the arrhythmia group and 123 patients in the non-arrhythmia group. One (0.49%) patient died in the hospital. Univariate analysis suggested that age, body weight, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, left atrial anteroposterior diameter, left ventricular anteroposterior diameter, right ventricular anteroposterior diameter, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, uric acid, red blood cell width, operation time, CPB time, aortic cross-clamping time, and operation type were associated with postoperative arrhythmia (P<0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis suggested that direct bilirubin (OR=1.334, 95%CI 1.003-1.774, P=0.048) and aortic cross-clamping time (OR=1.018, 95%CI 1.005-1.031, P=0.008) were independent risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. In the arrhythmia group, postoperative tracheal intubation time (P<0.001), intensive care unit stay (P<0.001) and postoperative hospital stay (P<0.001) were significantly prolonged, and postoperative high-dose blood transfusion events were significantly increased (P=0.002). Conclusion Preoperative direct bilirubin level and aortic cross-clamping time are independent risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Postoperative tracheal intubation time, intensive care unit stay, and postoperative hospital stay are significantly prolonged in patients with postoperative arrhythmia, and postoperative high-dose blood transfusion events are significantly increased.

Objective To identify clinical risk factors for early major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) following surgical correction of supravalvar aortic stenosis (SVAS). Methods Patients who underwent SVAS surgical correction between 2002 and 2019 in Beijing and Yunnan Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospitals were included. The patients were divided into a MACEs group and a non-MACEs group based on whether MACEs concurring during postoperative hospitalization or within 30 days following surgical correction for SVAS. Their preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative clinical data were collected for multivariate logistic regression. Results This study included 302 patients. There were 199 males and 103 females, with a median age of 63.0 (29.2, 131.2) months. The incidence of early postoperative MACEs was 7.0% (21/302). The multivariate logistic regression model identified independent risk factors for early postoperative MACEs, including ICU duration (OR=1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.01, P=0.032), intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (OR=1.02, 95%CI 1.01-1.04, P=0.014), aortic annulus diameter (OR=0.65, 95%CI 0.43-0.97, P=0.035), aortic sinus inner diameter (OR=0.75, 95%CI 0.57-0.98, P=0.037), and diameter of the stenosis (OR=0.56, 95%CI 0.35-0.90, P=0.016). Conclusion The independent risk factors for early postoperative MACEs include ICU duration, intraoperative CPB time, aortic annulus diameter, aortic sinus inner diameter, and diameter of the stenosis. Early identification of high-risk populations for MACEs is beneficial for the development of clinical treatment strategies.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum Sortilin(SORT)and insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1)levels and the occurrence and prognosis of cardiovascular disease(CVD)in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients with end-stage renal disease(ESRD).Methods Eighty-four MHD patients with ESRD diagnosed and treated in the First People's Hospital of Kunshan from February 2017 to February 2018 were selected as the MHD group.With 5 years of follow-up,the MHD group was divided into the CVD group(n=35)and the non-CVD group(n=49)according to whether they had concurrent CVD,while 60 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination during the same period were used as the control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum SORT and IGF-1 levels.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the influencing factors of CVD in MHD patients with ESRD.The predictive value of serum SORT and IGF-1 for CVD in MHD patients with ESRD was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic curve.The correlation between serum SORT and IGF-1 levels and the survival rate of MHD patients with ESRD was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.Results Compared to the control group,the MHD group had higher serum SORT level(413.37±55.41 ng/L vs 81.27±24.69 ng/L)and lower serum IGF-1 level(117.64±18.42 μg/L vs 421.34±14.58 μg/L),with significant differences(t=43.416,106.122,all P＜0.001).The age,dialysis time,and serum SORT level(488.73±55.41ng/L vs 359.54±58.29ng/L)of patients in the CVD group were higher than those in the non-CVD group,while serum IGF-1 level(88.25±17.92 μg/L vs 138.63±19.55μg/L)was lower than that of the non-CVD group,with significant differences(t=2.896,2.588,10.221,12.050,all P＜0.05).Age(OR=1.548,P＜0.001),dialysis time(OR=1.616,P＜0.001)and serum SORT(OR=1.353,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for CVD in MHD patients,while serum IGF-1(OR=0.742,P=0.000)was a protective factor for CVD in MHD patients.The area under the curve(95％CI)of the combined serum SORT and IGF-1 test for predicting concomitant CVD in MHD patients was 0.931(95％CI:0.895～0.961),which was greater than that of the single detection[0.843(0.810～0.889),0.887(0.833～0.921)],and the differences were statistically significant(Z=5.117,4.895,all P＜0.001).The five-year cumulative survival rate of MHD patients in the SORT high expression group(48.39％)was lower than that in the low expression group(84.81％),while the five-year cumulative survival rate of MHD patients in the IGF-1 low expression group(51.52％)was lower than that in the high expression group(84.31％),and the differences were significant(Log-Rank x2=18.670,8.900,all P＜0.01).Conclusion The serum SORT levels increased while IGF-1 levels decreased in MHD patients.The combined detection of the two has high predictive value for the occurrence of CVD in MHD patients with ESRD,which is associated with poor survival prognosis in MHD patients with ESRD.

Objective:To study the risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs).Methods:From October 2020 to December 2021, VLBWIs with gestational age(GA) ≤32 weeks admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital were retrospectively studied. According to the occurrence of ROP, they were assigned into ROP group and non-ROP group. The clinical data of the two groups were compared and the risk factors of ROP in VLBWI were analyzed.Results:A total of 251 VLBWIs were enrolled, including 60 cases (23.9%) in ROP group and 191 (76.1%) in non-ROP group. The GA and birth weight (BW) of ROP group were significantly lower than non-ROP group [28(26,30) w vs. 29(28,31) w, 1 035(840,1 285) g vs. 1 260(1 110,1 380) g, respectively, all P<0.001]. The ROP group had longer duration of oxygen therapy [42.0(26.0, 53.5) d vs. 24.0(18.0, 34.0) d], higher incidences of blood transfusion [2.5(1.0, 3.0) times vs. 2.0 (1.0, 2.0) times] and hyperglycemia (80.0% vs. 16.8%), higher average [(5.6±0.5) mmol/L vs. (5.1±0.5) mmol/L] and peak [10.4(7.8,13.2) mmol/L vs. 6.5(6.1,6.8) mmol/L] blood glucose levels in the first week than the non-ROP group (all P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that longer duration of oxygen therapy ( OR=1.047, 95% CI 1.008-1.087, P=0.018) and higher peak blood glucose level in the first week ( OR=1.268, 95% CI 1.092-1.474, P=0.002) were the independent risk factors for ROP. Conclusions:Longer duration of oxygen therapy and higher peak of blood glucose level in the first week are risk factors for ROP in VLBWIs.

Objective:To study the risk factors of secondary hydrocephalus after severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants for prevention and early identification of post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH).Methods:From June 2013 to June 2021, preterm infants with severe IVH admitted to our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. They were assigned into PHH group and non-PHH group. Rank sum test or chi-square test was used for comparison between the two groups and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of PHH in preterm infants.Results:A total of 246 preterm infants with severe IVH were enrolled, including 68 cases (27.6%) in the PHH group and 178 cases (72.4%) in the non-PHH group.

The incidence of moderate thrombocytopenia in non-PHH group was significantly higher than PHH group ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the incidences of mild and severe thrombocytopenia between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Male gender, gestational age ≤30 week, 5-min Apgar score ≤5, placental abruption are risk factors for PHH in premature infants with severe IVH and moderate thrombocytopenia has protective effects.

Objective:To investigate the value of multi-stage dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) histogram in predicting survival of patients undergoing surgical treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinico-pathological data of 81 patients with CRC who were admitted to the Jiuquan City People′s Hospital from January 2018 to February 2019 were collected. There were 47 males and 34 females, aged (62±6)years. All patients underwent routine MRI and DCE-MRI examination to extract relevant imaging parameters. Observation indicators: (1) treatment, imaging examination and follow-up; (2) imaging factors influencing postoperative disease-free survival of patients with CRC. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the COX proportional risk model. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze and exclude factors with correlation in univariate analysis, and the multi-variate analysis was conducted on the rest of factors. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates, and Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Treatment, imaging examination and follow-up. All 81 patients underwent preoperative MRI plain scan, enhanced imaging, and diffusion weighted imaging. After complete examination, all patients underwent radical resection of CRC and received postoperative chemotherapy using the FOLFOX regimen. All 81 patients were followed up for 42(range, 11-61)months after surgery. The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate of 81 patients after surgery was 98.8%, 96.3%, 93.8%, respectively. During the follow-up period, 56 of the 81 patients survived from disease-free and 25 patients had disease progressed. (2) Imaging factors influencing postoperative disease-free survival of patients with CRC. Results of multivariate analysis showed that the kurtosis value and skewness value of positive enhancement integral (PEI) were independent imaging factors influencing postoperative disease-free survival of patients of CRC ( odds ratio=1.840, 1.243, 95% confidence interval as 1.403-2.412, 1.020-1.516, P<0.05). Taking the median values of kurtosis value and skewness value of PEI as 4.864 and 5.042 for further analysis. The postoperative 5-year disease-free survival rate of patients with kurtosis value of PEI <4.864 and ≥4.864 was 89.7% and 10.3%, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=31.265, P<0.05). The postoperative 5-year disease-free survival rate of patients with skewness value of PEI<5.042 and ≥5.042 was 63.4% and 36.6%, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=8.164, P<0.05). Conclusions:The kurtosis value and skewness value of PEI in DCE-MRI are independent imaging factors influencing postoperative disease-free survival of patients of CRC. The DCE-MRI histogram can effectively evaluate the postoperative prognosis of patients of CRC.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of reinfection of 2019-nCoV and influencing factors, and provide evidence for effective prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic.Methods:The incidence data of COVID-19 in Ningbo from January 1, 2020 to November 30, 2022 were collected from the infectious disease surveillance system of Chinese information system for disease control and prevention. The incidence of reinfection of 2019-nCoV was investigated by using questionnaire. logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influences of gender, age, time interval from the first infection, history of underlying disease, 2019-nCoV vaccination dose and disease severity on the reinfection.Results:A total of 897 previous 2019-nCoV infection cases were investigated, of which 115 experienced the reinfection of 2019-nCoV, the reinfection rate was 12.82%. The interval between the two infections M( Q1, Q3) was 1 052 (504, 1 056) days. Univariate analysis showed that age, 2019-nCoV vaccination dose, history of underlying disease, type of 2019-nCoV variant causing the first infection, time interval from the first infection and severity of the first infection were associated with the reinfection rate (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk for reinfection in age group 30- years was higher than that in age group ≥60 years ( OR=2.10, 95% CI: 1.11-3.97). No reinfection occurred in those with time interval from the first infection of <6 months, and the risk for reinfection was higher in those with the time interval of ≥12 months than in those with the time interval of 6- months ( OR=6.68, 95% CI: 3.46-12.90). The risk for reinfection was higher in the common or mild cases than in the asymptomatic cases ( OR=2.64, 95% CI: 1.18-5.88; OR=2.79, 95% CI: 1.27-6.11). Conclusion:The time interval from the first infection was an important influencing factor for the reinfection of 2019-nCoV, and the probability of the reinfection within 6 months was low.
