BACKGROUND:Poisoned patients often suffer damage to multiple systems,and those experiencing central nervous system disorders present more severe conditions,prolonged hospital stays,and increased mortality rates.We aimed to assess the efficacy of rehabilitation interventions for patients with toxic encephalopathy. METHODS:This retrospective,observational,comparative cohort study was performed at the teaching hospital affiliated of Nanjing Medical University,from October 2020 to December 2022.Patients who met the diagnostic criteria for toxic encephalopathy and exclusion criteria were included,and patients were divided into three subgroups according to Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS).Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected.The effect of the rehabilitation intervention on patients were assessed in the improvement of consciousness status(Glasgow Coma Scale[GCS]score),muscle strength and movement and swallowing function(Fugl-Meyer Assessment[FMA]scale,Water Swallow Test[WST],and Standardized Swallowing Assessment[SSA]).Subgroup analysis was based on different toxic species. RESULTS:Out of the 464 patients with toxic encephalopathy,184 cases received rehabilitation treatments.For the severe toxic encephalopathy patients,patients without rehabilitation intervention have a 2.21 times higher risk of death compared to patients with rehabilitation intervention(Hazard ratio[HR]=2.21).Subgroup analysis revealed that rehabilitation intervention significantly increased the survival rate of patients with pesticide poisoning(P=0.02),while no significant improvement was observed in patients with drug/biological agent poisoning(P=0.44).After rehabilitation intervention,significant improvement in GCS and FMA were observed in severe patients with toxic encephalopathy(P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Active rehabilitation intervention for patients exposed to poisons that can potentially cause toxic encephalopathy may improve the prognosis and reduce the mortality rate in clinical practice.

Objective: To evaluate the immunity and influencing factors of diphtheria among preschool children in Shenzhen,to provide reference for effective monitoring of diphtheria IgG antibody level in preschool children. Methods: Serum samples were collected from 296 preschool children aged 4-6 who were recruited in Shenzhen. The diphtheria antibody titer in serum was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, and the effect of different immumuzation schedule including types of vaccine and vaccination timing, on the geometric mean concentration (GMC) of diphtheria IgG antibody and antibody positive rate were analyzed. Results: The GMC of diphtheria IgG antibody was 0.71 IU/mL, and the positive conversion rate was 33.1%. There were significant differences in antibody GMC and antibody positive conversion rate of diphtheria in different age groups( F/χ 2=11.77, 27.45, P < 0.01 ). The GMC and antibody positive conversion rate showed significant differences by diphtheria antibodies, vaccine types and end dose vaccination intervals( F=49.53, 12.95，11.61, P <0.01). There were statistically significant differences in the positive conversion rate of diphtheria antibodies in children with different types of diphtheria antibodies, vaccine types of diphtheria antibodies, and diphtheria antibodies at the time interval of final vaccination (Fisher exact probability method, P <0.01). Conclusion The overall positive conversion rate of diphtheria antibody in preschool children in Shenzhen is high. Timely completion of full diphtheria vaccination can improve the antibody level and plays a better role in protecting preschool children.

Objective:This study aims to explore the impact of various clinical factors on the risk of polymyxin B induced DKI in patients.Methods:This is a single-center retrospective case-control study. A total of 139 patients receiving polymyxin B intravenous treatment in our hospital from January 1 to December 31, 2020 were collected. Baseline variables between polymyxin B induced DKI group and non-DKI group were compared using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and the T-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous variables, as appropriate. Statistical analysis was performed using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression models, Logistic regression models, multivariate Logistic regression models, Kaplan Meier curve, as well as Log-Rank test.Results:Among a total of 139 patients receiving polymyxin B treatment, 49 cases have experienced DKI, 90 cases did not. The incidence of DKI was 35.25%. There was no statistical difference in general information of age, gender, and proportion of standard weight between the two groups. Among the related indexes of polycolistin B administration, the proportion of high daily dose [>25 000 U/(kg·d)] and the total dosage of medication in the DKI group were both significantly higher than that in the non-DKI group ( P< 0.05, respectively). Among the organ function indexes, there were significant differences in initial serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, urinary occult blood and urinary specific gravity between DKI group and non-DKI group 48 hours before polymyxin B administration ( P< 0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis suggested that daily dose and initial creatinine before medication were independent risk factors for DKI caused by polymyxin B ( P< 0.05). Kaplan-meier survival analysis showed that with the accumulation of Polymyxin B administration, the higher the daily dose of Polymyxin B was, the faster the DKI occurred (Log-Rank P= 0.0194). Conclusions:Using intravenous polymyxin B is associated with the risk of DKI, among which higher initial blood creatinine values and higher daily doses are independent risk factors for DKI.
