Objective:To investigate the related factors that affect the timing and prognosis of early tracheostomy in patients with multiple rib fractures.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on medical data of 222 patients with multiple rib fractures who underwent tracheostomy in Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from February 2013 to October 2019，including 160 males and 66 females，with the age of 18 to 85 years ［（49.5 ± 16.3）years］. According to the practice management guidelines for tracheostomy timing and the use of propensity score matching technology，there were 118 patients with tracheostomy within 7 days of tracheal intubation （early group） and 104 patients with tracheostomy after 7 days of tracheal intubation （late group） before matching，and there were 87 patients in early group and 87 patients in late group after matching. Data were compared between groups including the gender，age，underlying disease，injury severity score （ISS），Glasgow coma score （GCS），number of fractured ribs，total number of rib fractures （NTRF），first rib fracture，flail chest，traumatic brain injury，combined injuries （spine，maxillofacial，sternum），acute respiratory distress syndrome （ARDS），volume fraction of pulmonary contusion（VPC），blood lactic acid （within 24 hours of admission），hemothorax，pneumothorax，mechanical ventilation time，duration of tracheostomy，time from tracheal intubation to incision，length of hospital stay，length of stay in ICU，closed thoracic drainage，number of fiberoptic bronchoscopy，multi-drug resistant bacteria infection，ventilator-associated pneumonia，antibiotic use time，duration of sedative and analgesic drugs used and 28-day mortality. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to predict independent risk factors for early tracheostomy. The Pearson method was used to compare the relationship between multiple factors. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to predict indicators that affect the prognosis of patients with early tracheostomy，and calculate the best cut-off value. The Kaplan-Meier single factor and COX multivariate survival were used to analyze the relevant factors affecting the 28-day mortality of patients.Results:（1） In early group，the NTRF，ARDS and VPC were higher than those in late group，and the time from tracheal intubation to incision and 28-day mortality rate were lower than those in late group （ P < 0.05），while the two groups showed no significant differences in the gender，age，underlying diseases and ISS （ P > 0.05）. （2） The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that there was statistical significance in NTRF （ OR = 1.775，95% CI 1.439-2.188），ARDS（ OR = 3.740，95% CI 1.441-9.711），VPC （ OR = 1.087，95% CI 1.052-1.124） （ P < 0.05）； the Pearson method analysis showed a significant correlation between VPC and NTRF （ r = 0.369， P < 0.05） and a low degree of correlation between ARDS and VPC （ r = 0.179， P < 0.05），but there was no significant correlation between ARDS and NTRF （ r = 0.132， P > 0.05）. （3） The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve （AUC） of the VPC and NTRF ［AUC = 0.832 （95% CI 0.770-0.893），AUC = 0.804 （95% CI 0.740-0.868）］ were significantly higher than those of the number of rib fractures ［AUC = 0.437（95% CI 0.352-0.523），GCS ［AUC = 0.519 （95% CI 0.432-0.605）］ and ISS ［AUC = 0.484 （95% CI 0.398-0.571）］ （ P < 0.05）. After calculating the Yorden index，the best cut-off value for VPC was 23.9，and the best cut-off value for NTRF was 8.5. （4） The Kaplan-Meier single factor and multivariate COX model survival analysis showed that the 28-day survival ratio of patients with early tracheostomy was significantly better than that of late tracheostomy （ P < 0.05）. Conclusions:The NTRF，ADRS and VPC are independent risk factors for the timing and prognosis of early tracheostomy. There is a significant correlation between VPC and NTRF. The VPC ≥ 23.9% and or NTRF ≥ 8.5 can be used to predict early tracheostomy in patients with multiple rib fractures. Early tracheostomy may benefit the 28-day survival of patients with multiple rib fractures.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of Jianpi-Yishen-Tongluo capsules combined with candesartan cilexetil in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods:According to the random table method, 82 patients who met the inclusion criteria in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were divided into two groups, 41 in each group. The control group was treated with candesartan cilexetil, while the research group was treated with Jianpi-Yishen-Tongluo capsules based on the control group. Both groups were treated for 1 month. Then, the 24-hour urinary protein quantity (24 hPro) in urine, serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. The serum levels of visfatin (VF), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA. The adverse reaction during the treatment was observed and the clinical effect was evaluated. Results:The total effective rate of the research group was 97.6% (40/41), and 85.4% (35/41) of the control group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=3.905, P=0.048). After the treatment, the 24 hPro (64.35 ± 6.39 mg vs. 96.32 ± 8.74 mg, t=18.908) in urine, SCr (86.84 ± 9.30 μmol/L vs. 124.34 ± 13.11 μmol/L, t=14.939), BUN (5.41 ± 0.59 mmol/L vs. 7.58 ± 0.71 mmol/L, t=15.052) in the research group were significantly lower than those of the control group ( P<0.01). The levels of VF and HbAlc in the research group were significantly lower than those of the control group ( t values were 10.595 and 13.140, respectively, all Ps<0.01), the serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly lower than those of the control group ( t values were 10.071 and 6.969, respectively, all Ps<0.01). During the treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions was 12.2% (5/41) in the control group and 4.9% (2/41) in the research group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=1.406, P=0.236). Conclusions:The Jianpi-Yishen-Tongluo capsules combined with candesartan cilexetil can improve the renal function of DN patients, reduce the inflammatory reaction and improve the clinical effect.

Objective:To construct a real-time monitoring system based on computer vision for monitoring withdrawal speed of colonoscopy and to validate its feasibility and performance.Methods:A total of 35 938 images and 63 videos of colonoscopy were collected in endoscopic database of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from May to October 2018. The images were divided into two datasets, one dataset included in vitro, in vivo and unqualified colonoscopy images, and another dataset included ileocecal and non-cecal area images. And then 3 594 and 2 000 images were selected respectively from the two datasets for testing the deep learning model, and the remaining images were used to train the model. Three colonoscopy videos were selected to evaluate the feasibility of real-time monitoring system, and 60 colonoscopy videos were used to evaluate its performance.Results:The accuracy rate of the deep learning model for classification for in vitro, in vivo, and unqualified colonoscopy images was 90.79% (897/988), 99.92% (1 300/1 301), and 99.08% (1 293/1 305), respectively, and the overall accuracy rate was 97.11% (3 490/3 594). The accuracy rate of identifying ileocecal and non-cecal area was 96.70% (967/1 000) and 94.90% (949/1 000), respectively, and the overall accuracy rate was 95.80% (1 916/2 000). In terms of feasibility evaluation, 3 colonoscopy videos data showed a linear relationship between the retraction speed and the image processing interval, which indicated that the real-time monitoring system automatically monitored the retraction speed during the colonoscopy withdrawal process. In terms of performance evaluation, the real-time monitoring system correctly predicted entry time and withdrawal time of all 60 examinations, and the results showed that the withdrawal speed and withdrawal time was significantly negative-related ( R=-0.661, P<0.001). The 95% confidence interval of withdrawal speed for the colonoscopy with withdrawal time of less than 5 min, 5-6 min, and more than 6 min was 43.90-49.74, 40.19-45.43, and 34.89-39.11 respectively. Therefore, 39.11 was set as the safe withdrawal speed and 45.43 as the alarm withdrawal speed. Conclusion:The real-time monitoring system we constructed can be used to monitor real-time withdrawal speed of colonoscopy and improve the quality of endoscopy.

Objective:To establish a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model based on YOLO and ResNet algorithm for automatic detection of colorectal polyps and to test its function.Methods:Colonoscopy images and videos collected from the database of Digestive Endoscopy Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2018 to March 2019 were divided into three databases (database 1, 3, 4). The public database CVC-ClinicDB (composed of 612 polyp images extracted from 29 colonoscopy videos provided by Barcelona Hospital, Spain) was used as the database 2. Database 1 (4 700 colonoscopy images from January 2018 to November 2018, including 3 700 intestinal polyp images and 1 000 non-polyp images) was used for establishing training and verifying the DCNN model. Database 2 (CVC-ClinicDB) and database 3 (720 colonoscopy images from January 2019 to March 2019, including 320 intestinal polyp images and 400 non-polyp images) were used for testing the DCNN model on image detection. Database 4 (15 colonoscopy videos in December 2019, containing 33 polyps) was used for testing the DCNN model on video detection. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and false positive rate of the DCNN model for detecting intestinal polyps were calculated.Results:The sensitivity of the DCNN model for detecting intestinal polyps in database 2 was 93.19% (602/646). In database 3, the DCNN model showed the accuracy of 95.00% (684/720), sensitivity of 98.13% (314/320), specificity of 92.50% (370/400), and false positive rate of 7.50% (30/400) for detecting intestinal polyps. In database 4, the DCNN model achieved a per-polyp-sensitivity of 100.00% (33/33), a per-image-accuracy of 96.29% (133 840/138 998), a per-image-sensitivity of 90.24% (4 066/4 506), a per-image-specificity of 96.49% (129 774/134 492), and a per-image-false positive rate of 3.51% (4 718/134 492).Conclusion:The DCNN model constructed in the study has a high sensitivity and specificity for automatic detection of colorectal polyps both in the colonoscopy images and videos, has a low false positive rate in the videos, and has the potential to assist endoscopists in diagnosis of colorectal polyps.

Objective: The consistency of 24-hour oropharyngeal Dx-pH monitoring and proton pump inhibitor(PPI) test in the diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) was investigated. Methods: Sixty patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) related symptoms who had never received PPI treatment were assessed by reflux symptom index (RSI) and reflux finding score (RFS) between October 2017 and October 2018, including 28 males and 38 females, aged from 16 to 72 years, with a medium age of 38 years. Prior to treatment, all patients were evaluated with 24 hours oropharyngeal Dx-pH monitoring(Restech). After empiric therapy with PPI twice-daily for 8 weeks, the efficacy was evaluated according to posttreatment RSI score.The data was analysed with Kruskal-Wallis test, Student Newman Keuls test and consistency check. Results: (1)Among all 60 patients,13 patients (21.7%) had pathologic Ryan score and all resulted responsive to PPI;27 patients (45.0%) with a negative Ryan score were unresponsive to PPI; 20 patients (33.3%) despite a negative Ryan score resulted responsive to PPI therapy. Considering responsiveness to PPI therapy as the gold standard for the diagnosis of LPRD, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of Ryan score were 39.4%, 100%, 100% and 57.4% respectively. The Kappa value was 0.369 (P<0.01). (2)Among 34 patients (56.7%) with positive Dx-pH results (24-hour oropharyngeal acid reflux events≥ 3 times), 29 patients were positive and 5 patients were negative in PPI test. Among 26 patients with negative Dx-pH results (24-hour oropharyngeal acid reflux events<3 times), 4 patients were positive and 22 patients were negative in PPI test. Considering responsiveness to PPI therapy as the gold standard for the diagnosis of LPRD, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 24-hour oropharyngeal acid reflux events were 87.9%, 81.5%, 85.3% and 84.6% respectively. The Kappa value was 0.696(P<0.01). Conclusions There is a positive correlation between 24-hour oropharyngeal Dx-pH monitoring positive results (24-hour oropharyngeal acid reflux events≥3 times) and PPI test in the diagnosis of LPRD. The 24-hour oropharyngeal Dx-pH monitoring can be a promising tool for the diagnosis of suspected LPRD patients, and more sensitive and accurate Dx-pH diagnostic index will be required in the clinic.

Objective:To explore the relationship between anxiety, depression and various dimensions of cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) .Methods:The convenient sampling method was adopted to conduct memory screening for 727 elderly people who visited the multidisciplinary joint memory clinic of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Beijing from January to December 2019. With their consent, 247 MCI patients were investigated using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) , Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) .Results:A total of 247 questionnaires were distributed and 233 valid questionnaires were returned. There were 67 cases (28.8%) of MCI patients with anxiety and depression, 11 cases (4.7%) with anxiety, 53 cases (22.7%) with depression and 102 cases (43.8%) without anxiety and depression. In MCI patients, anxiety was positively correlated with delayed recall ( P<0.05) , while depression was negatively correlated with language function ( P<0.05) . MCI patients with different emotional states had statistically significant differences in language function ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:MCI patients have a higher incidence of anxiety and depression, and anxiety and depression will affect different dimensions of cognitive function in MCI patients. Medical staff need to provide targeted interventions for MCI patients with different emotional characteristics.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-tumor effect on sequential injection of heterogeneic lymphocyte(HL)and autogeneic lymphocyte(AL). Methods The HL was prepared by using CC3HF1 mice as feeders. CB6F1 mice were used as recipients,and Hepa1-6 cells were inoculated into the recepients′groin subcutis. A cryoprecipitate was extracted from mouse plasma by freeze-thaw method to prepare fibrin Glue(FG);FG was combined with HL or AL to be FG-HL or FG-AL. The experimental treatment consisted of two stages. At first stage(15 d),FG-HL were injected on the surface of the tumor-bearing tissue of the recipients as the experimental group,and FG-phosphate buffer saline(FG-PBS)were injected on the surface of the tumor-bearing tissue of the rest recipients as the control group. The immunological factors such as tumor cell killing rate of the spleen lym-phocytes and numbers of lymphocytes,CD8 +T and NK in the two groups were detected,respectively. At later stage(10 d),a part of mice were randomly selected from the experimental and control groups,and the lymphocytes( AL) were used to form FG-AL,which were injected on the surface of tumor-bearing tissues in the rest of mice. Tumors in mice of the two groups were compared for tumor volume and tumor inhibition rate. Results The tumor cell killing rate of AL in the experimental group(26. 70 ± 7. 22) was signifi-cantly higher than that in the control group(5. 70 ± 2. 68)(P<0. 01). Numbers of mouse spleen lymphocytes,CD8 +T cells and NK cells were significantly higher than the corresponding values of the control group(P<0. 05). After the two-stage treatment,the aver-age tumor volume of the experimental group[(1.20 ±0.33)cm3]was significantly smaller than that of control group[(2.05 ±0.37) cm3](P<0. 01). The tumor inhibition rate in the experiment group was 41. 5% when compared to the control group. Conclusion Local injections of FG-HL followed by FG-AL can significantly inhibit the growth of transplanted tumor in mice;it is expected to become an anti-tumor biological therapy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT)in the screening of coronary artery lesions in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods MSCT and coronary angiography(CAG)were performed in 136 elderly patients(68 patients with diabetes and 68 patients without diabetes).The number of diseased coronary segments and the plaque type (noncalcified,mixed and calcified)for each patient were determined.The characteristics of coronary lesions were compared between patients with and without diabetes.The sensitivity and specificity of MSCT were evaluated.Results More noncalcified and calcified plaques and few ermixed plaques were observed in patients with diabetes,compared with patients without diabetes(noncalcified plagues:10 cases or 14.7％ vs.4 cases or 5.9％;calcified plagues:47 cases or 69.1％ vs.39 cases or 57.4％)(P＜ 0.05).In addition,diabetic patients showed a significantly higher frequency of multivessel disease(P＜0.05).Furthermore,MSCT was able to clearly show stenosis and plaque type in the trunk and branches of the coronary artery,with a sensitivity of 91.0％,a specificity of 95.0％,a positive predictive value of 93％ and a negative predictive value of 96.0％.Conclusions Diabetes is associated with a higher risk of coronary artery disease.MSCT can effectively detect the characteristics of coronary artery disease in diabetic patients and is an effective,noninvasive,and safe screening method.
