BACKGROUND: Although intensively studied in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the prognostic value of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) has little been elucidated in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). This study aimed to reveal the prognostic value of DBP in AECOPD patients. METHODS: Inpatients with AECOPD were prospectively enrolled from 10 medical centers in China between September 2017 and July 2021. DBP was measured on admission. The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality; invasive mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit (ICU) admission were secondary outcomes. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariable Cox regressions were used to identify independent prognostic factors and calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for adverse outcomes. RESULTS: Among 13,633 included patients with AECOPD, 197 (1.45%) died during their hospital stay. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that low DBP on admission (<70 mmHg) was associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality (HR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.53-3.05, Z = 4.37, P <0.01), invasive mechanical ventilation (HR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.32-2.05, Z = 19.67, P <0.01), and ICU admission (HR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.24-1.69, Z = 22.08, P <0.01) in the overall cohort. Similar findings were observed in subgroups with or without CVDs, except for invasive mechanical ventilation in the subgroup with CVDs. When DBP was further categorized in 5-mmHg increments from <50 mmHg to ≥100 mmHg, and 75 to <80 mmHg was taken as reference, HRs for in-hospital mortality increased almost linearly with decreased DBP in the overall cohort and subgroups of patients with CVDs; higher DBP was not associated with the risk of in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSION: Low on-admission DBP, particularly <70 mmHg, was associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes among inpatients with AECOPD, with or without CVDs, which may serve as a convenient predictor of poor prognosis in these patients.

【Objective】 To explore the technical methods and clinical efficacy of transvaginal or transrectal repair in the treatment of iatrogenic bladder fistula. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 7 cases of iatrogenic bladder fistula patients treated during 2016 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 6 cases of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) and 1 case of vesicorectal fistula (VRF). The operation was conducted 3 to 10 months after the diagnosis of urinary fistula, and the vagina or rectum was fully cleaned before operation. Modified Latzko technique was employed to separate the gap between the bladder wall and vaginal or rectal wall along the fistula, the fistula scar was sharply removed, and the fistula, bladder wall, vaginal or intestinal wall, and vaginal or intestinal mucosa were sutured in layers. The urinary catheter was indwelled for 4 weeks. 【Results】 All 7 cases were successfully repaired at one procedure. No urine leakage was found after the urinary catheter was removed. There was no recurrence after 6 to 12 months of follow-up. 【Conclusion】 Selective application of the modified Latzko technique to repair iatrogenic urinary fistula through the natural lumen is an advantageous treatment scheme, which simplifies the operation and reduces trauma.

Objective     To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of thymoma patients and the influencing factors for prognosis. Methods     Thymoma patients who received treatment in Sichuan Cancer Hospital from March 2015 to March 2021 were collected. Clinical data of the patients were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. Results     A total of 177 patients were included. There were 89 males and 88 females aged 17-88 (52.3±13.0) years, including 160 surgical patients and 17 non-surgical patients. There were 160 patients survived, 17 died of thymoma, and 5 had recurrence and metastasis. Overall, the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 94.4%, 88.7%, 88.1%, respectively; the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 94.9%, 91.5%, 91.0%, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that World Health Organization classification, clinical symptoms, Masaoka-Koga staging, treatment methods and surgery were statistically associated with progression-free survival; clinical symptoms, age, treatment methods and surgery were statistically associated with overall survival (P<0.05). Patients with younger age (P=0.018), without clinical symptoms (P=0.039), and with surgical treatment (P=0.004) had higher overall survival rates; those patients undergoing surgery had a higher progression-free survival rate (P=0.002). Conclusion     Age, clinical symptoms and surgical treatment are independent factors influencing the prognosis of patients with thymoma.

OBJECTIVE：To investiga te main risk factors for adverse drug reactions （ADR）of skin by intravenous injection of iodine contrast agent. METHODS ：From Jan. 2009 to Apr. 2020，the patients suffering from skin ADR after enhanced CT with iodine contrast agent were collected from our hospital. The basic information ，laboratory test results before using iodine contrast agent and ADR related information were collected through hospital information system （HIS）. The use of iodine contrast agent ，main manifestations of skin ADR and drug combination were analyzed statistically. Taking the sex ，age，body mass index （BMI），the dosage of iodine contrast agent ，length of stay ，laboratory examination ，tumor history ，basic disease ，allergy history ，drinking history as independent variables ，the incidence of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was analyzed by single factor analysis ，and the variables with statistically significant were selected for multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis. RESULTS ：There were 157 cases of skin ADR ，involving 79 males（50.3％）and 78 females（49.7％）. The age ranged from 19 to 86 years old ，being（52.68± 18.73）years old in average. BMI was 14.6-40.7 kg/m2，being（22.5±3.7） kg/m2. 67 cases（42.68％）were treated with iprodione ，34 cases（21.66％）with iodixanol ，31 cases（19.74％）with iohexol and 25 cases（15.92％）with iopamidol ；the dose of iodine contrast agent were 50-100 mL，being（73.06±13.29）mL in average. There was no significant difference among different dosage of 4 kinds of iodine contrast agents （P≤0.05）. Among 4 kinds of iodine contrast agents ，the incidence of skin ADR induced by iopromide was the highest（0.197％）. The skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was mainly acute （89.2％），the severity was mild （75.2％），and urticaria（38.9％）was the most common. After symptomatic treatment ，135 cases were cured ，13 cases were improved and 9 cases were not improved. Among the patients with iodine contrast agent related skin ADR ，the incidence of ADR induced by combined use of anti infective drugs was the highest （33.1％）；however，the combined use of anti-tumor drugs was the main cause of severe skin ADR. The length of stay ｛11～20 d[OR＝1.21，95％CI（1.07，1.20），P＝0.042]、21～30 d[OR＝1.39，95％CI（1.12，1.52），P＝0.035]、31～40 d[OR＝1.15，95％CI（1.03，1.37），P＝0.008]、＞40 d[OR＝1.33，95％CI（1.28，1.53），P＝0.003]｝，respitatory and circulatory system tumor history[OR ＝1.51，95％CI（1.35，1.61），P＝0.037]，injection allergy history[OR ＝1.50，95％CI（1.37，1.59），P＝0.005] can significantly increase the incidence of iodine contrast agent related skin ADR. CONCLUSIONS ：The main manifestation of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was urticaria. The main risk factors of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent were length of stay （＞ 10 d），respiratory and circulatory system tumor history and injection allergy history.
