Objective This study aimed to explore the risk factors of postoperative hypokalemia in patients with oral cancer and to provide a basis for preventing and controlling postoperative hypokalemia.Methods We included 366 pa-tients undergoing oral cancer surgery in the Department of Head and Neck Oncology,West China Hospital of Stomatolo-gy,Sichuan University from January 2022 to August 2022.Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the risk factors of postoperative hypokalemia.The receiver operation characteristic(ROC)curve was used to quantify the effectiveness of the factors.A nomogram of the risk factors for postoperative hypokalemia in oral cancer patients was de-veloped and validated.Results A total of 224 patients(61.20%)had postoperative hypokalemia,the lowest serum po-tassium level(3.50±0.35)mmol/L on the 4th day after surgery,and the highest incidence of hypokalemia(54.68%).Vari-ables with P<0.05 in the univariate analysis were quantified by ROC curve followed by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results showed an independent correlation with postoperative hypokalemia as follows:preoperative se-rum potassium<3.87 mmol/L(P=0.008),preoperative se-rum calcium<2.31 mmol/L(P=0.033),preoperative PNI<49.16(P=0.032),postoperative drainage volume>264.25 mL(P=0.002).The above variables were constructed into a postoperative hypokalemia risk nomogram and verified,and a good degree of fit was found.Conclusion The indepen-dent risk factors for postoperative hypokalemia in patients with oral cancer were as follows:preoperative serum potassi-um<3.87 mmol/L,preoperative serum calcium<2.31 mmol/L,preoperative PNI<49.16,and postoperative drainage vol-ume>264.25 mL.Clinical attention should be paid to managing the above high-risk patients.Preventive potassium sup-plementation should be performed as soon as possible to reduce hypokalemia occurrence.
2.Analysis of influencing factors of unplanned reoperation in patients with oral cancer
Chongqing Medicine 2024;53(9):1353-1359
Objective To investigate the related influencing factors of unplanned reoperation (UR) in patients with oral cancer.Methods A total of 160 oral cancer patients with UR who were hospitalized in the Department of Head and Neck Oncology,West China Hospital of Stomatology,Sichuan University from Janu-ary 1,2018 to December 31,2022 were selected as the study group,and another 160 patients without UR in the same period were selected as the matching group by 1:1 matching.The clinical data of the two groups were compared.The variables that met the requirements were screened.The multivariate logistic stepwise regres-sion model was further used to analyze the influencing factors of UR in oral cancer.Results UR mostly oc-curred within one day after surgery in patients with oral cancer (66.88%),mainly due to flap vascular crisis (48.13%).Compared with the matched group,the hospitalization time of the study group was prolonged,the hospitalization cost was increased,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Multivariate lo-gistic stepwise regression analysis showed that albumin and neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio score (ANS,OR=1.693,95%CI:1.207-2.347,P=0.002),difference in hemoglobin levels before and after surgery (OR=1.056,95%CI:1.035-1.077,P<0.001) and free tissue flap repair (OR=4.609,95%CI:2.350-9.036,P<0.001) were the influencing factors for UR in patients with oral cancer.Conclusion UR prolongs the hospi-talization time and increases the hospitalization cost of patients.High ANS,large difference in hemoglobin lev-els before and after surgery,and free tissue flap repair are independent risk factors for UR in patients with oral cancer.

Objective To study the levels of serum cytokines in schizophrenic patients and their changes in antipsychotic medica-tion treatment .Methods The levels of serum cytokines including IL-10 ,IL-6 ,IL-13 ,IL-4 ,IFN ,TNF-α,IL-1a and IL-1RA were de-tected in 34 healthy adults and 53 schizophrenia patients by adopting the flow fluorescence method .Results The serum levels of IL-6 ,IL10 and TNF-αbefore treatment in schizophrenic patients were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0 .05) . After treatment ,the levels of serum IL-1a ,IL-6 and TNF-α in schizophrenic patients were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels are correlated with the disease condition of schizophrenia .IL-10 plays a role in early anti-inflammation of schizophrenia .
