Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of Neuroform Atlas stent assisted coil embolization in intracranial wide-necked aneurysms, and analyze the risk factors for procedure-related complications.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed; the clinical data of 367 patients with 374 intracranial wide-necked aneurysms accepted Neuroform Atlas stent assisted coil embolization from January 2021 to February 2024 were collected. Clinical prognosis, immediate postoperative and 6-12 months postoperative angiography, and procedure-related complications (including perioperative complications and complications during follow-up) were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors for procedure-related complications.Results:Immediate postoperative Raymond-Roy Occlusion Classification (RROC) grading I was noted in 323 aneurysms (86.4%), grading II in 42 aneurysms (11.2%), and grading III in aneurysms (2.4%). Perioperative complications occurred in 26 patients (7.1%): 19 (5.2%) were ischemic complications, while 7 (1.9%) were hemorrhagic complications. A total of 260 aneurysms (69.5%) underwent follow-up angiography, including 229 aneurysms (88.1%) with RROC grading I, 25 aneurysms (9.6%) with grading II and 6 aneurysms (2.3%) with grading III. During the follow-up, 5 patients (1.9%) developed stent stenosis, but only 1 patient had transient ischemic attack, and all of them had boundless vessel occlusion. At the last follow-up, 10 patients (2.7%) had poor prognosis, including 8 (2.2%) with severe disabilities (7 with modified Rankin Scale [mRS] scores of 3 and 1 with mRS scores of 4), and 2 (0.5%) deaths (mRS scores of 6). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that large aneurysms and posterior circulation aneurysms were independent risk factors for procedure-related complications ( OR=6.299, 95% CI: 1.131-35.094, P=0.036; OR=3.654, 95% CI: 1.478-9.035, P=0.005). Conclusion:Neuroform Atlas stent assisted coil embolization in intracranial wide-necked aneurysms is safe and feasible; patients with large aneurysms and posterior circulating aneurysms are more likely to have procedure-related complications.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of subdelirium syndrome in Intensive Care Units (ICU) patients, build a risk prediction model and verify the prediction performance of the model.Methods:From July 2021 to February 2022, 443 ICU patients who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University were selected by convenient sampling. The patients were divided into subdelirium syndrome group ( n=151) and non-subdelirium syndrome group ( n=292) according to whether they had subdelirium syndrome. The binomial Logistic regression was used to screen out independent influencing factors to construct a risk prediction model of subdelirium syndrome in ICU. The prediction effect of the model was tested by the area under the curve ( AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve. According to the same standard, 147 ICU patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from March to April 2022 were selected for external validation of the model. Results:The risk prediction model of subdelirium syndrome in ICU was Y=-4.126+1.569×Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score+1.261×pain score+1.643×total leukocyte+1.276×albumin +1.530 × operation or not. The internal validation of the model showed that the AUC was 0.878 [95% confidence interval (0.844, 0.912) ], the maximum Youden index was 0.614, the sensitivity was 74.8%, and the specificity was 86.6%. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that χ 2=2.743, P>0.05. The external validation of the model showed that the sensitivity was 92.6% and the specificity was 95.7%. Conclusions:This risk prediction model of subdelirium syndrome in ICU has good prediction performance, which can help medical and nursing staff identify high-risk patients with subdelirium syndrome in ICU as soon as possible.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between three-dimensional histogram analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)and Gleason score(GS)in prostate cancer(Pca)from two hospital, and its diagnostic efficacy for discriminating low-grade from high-grade Pca.Methods:A total of 102 pathologically confirmed Pca patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University and Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital(TCM Hospital)Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 2017 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.The quantitative parameters of Pca, including transport constant(K trans), rate constant(K ep), percent volume of the extravascular extracellular space(V e)and fraction of the Intraplasmic contrast volume(V p), were obtained by manually layer by layer delineating of interested regions of all lesions on the original DCE-MRI imaging.Then the three-dimensional histogram analysis of the above parameters were performed to obtain the minimum, maximum, median, mean, area, 10 thpercentile, 25 thpercentile, 75 thpercentile and 90 thpercentile.The correlations between quantitative parameters and GS, and diagnostic efficiencies were analyzed. Results:102 Pca patients were divided into low-grade prostate cancer group(GS≤3+ 4)(n=44)and high-grade Pca group(GS≥4+ 3)(n=58). There were no statistically significant differences in age and location of lesions between the two groups( P>0.05), but there were statistically significant differences in Gleason score, PSA level and lesion diameter between the two groups( U=0.000, 730.000, 711.000, all P<0.05). The median, mean, 10 thpercentile, 25 thpercentile, 75 thpercentile, 90 thpercentile derived from K trans, and K ep(median, mean, 10%, 25%, 75%, 90%)together with maximum of K transand mean for V e were positively correlated with GS( r=0.405 to 0.583, P<0.05), in which mean of K transhad the highest positive correlation( r=0.583, P=0.000). The histogram parameters derived from V pwere negatively correlated with GS( r=-0.301 to 0.341, P<0.05). The area under ROC of 75th percentile derived from K transwas the highest(0.832). When the cut-off value of 75 thpercentile derived from K transwas ≥0.680/min, its Youden index, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.594, 0.776, 0.818, respectively. Conclusions:The three-dimensional histogram of DCE-MRI quantitative parameters has correlation with GS in Pca patients, can be used to discriminate low-grade from high-grade Pca.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of early off-bed mobility in patients with mechanical ventilation and its effect on delirium and the duration of delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:Adult patients who were admitted to ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 1st to December 31st 2020 for invasive mechanical ventilation and no early activity contraindication were selected. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group conducted early off-bed mobility, such as using the shift machine off-bed sitting and walking aids to assist standing and walking, and the off-bed mobility is based on patient tolerance. The control group was given early bed activities, including conducting the joint range activity, limb movement, bed sitting, upper limb elastic belt movement, and lower limb cycling, once a day. Each joint moved 15-20 times, a total of 30 minutes. Both groups were treated with anti-infection, mechanical ventilation, analgesia and sedation, and nutrition therapy. After intervention, confusion assessment method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) was used to assess the onset and duration of delirium, physical restraint rate and duration of physical restraint, mechanical ventilation time, and the length of ICU stay.Results:After excluding patients who died or gave up treatment during the intervention period, 266 patients were included, with 133 patients in the experimental group and 133 patients in the control group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, diagnosis, degree of illness, sedative drugs between the two groups. The incidence of the delirium in intervention group was significantly lower than that in control group [26.3% (35/133) vs. 42.1% (56/133), χ 2 = 7.366, P = 0.007], the duration of delirium was shorter than that in control group (hours: 11.26±4.11 vs. 17.00±3.29, t = -4.157, P = 0.000), the rate of physical restraint was lower than that in control group [19.5% (26/133) vs. 45.1% (60/133), χ 2 = 19.864, P = 0.000], the duration of physical restraint was shorter than that in control group (hours: 9.71±4.07 vs. 13.55±7.40, t = -5.234, P = 0.000), the mechanical ventilation time and the length of ICU stay were shorter than those in control group [mechanical ventilation time (hours) : 106.23±42.25 vs. 133.10±41.88, t = -3.363, P = 0.001; length of ICU stay (days) : 8.35±6.21 vs. 13.25±9.98, t =-4.190, P = 0.000]. Conclusions:Early off-bed mobility can reduce physical restraint rate and the incidence of delirium, and thus can accelerate rehabilitation in critically ill patients. Early off-bed mobility is safe and effective for patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).Methods:In this multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial, 92 preterm infants with gestation age ≤30 weeks and diagnosed with NRDS were enrolled in 8 level Ⅲ neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region from 1 st July 2017 to 31 st December 2018. They were randomly assigned to minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) group or endotracheal intubation surfactant administration (EISA) group according to random number generated by computer. Infants in both groups received calf pulmonary surfactant preparation at a dose of 70-100 mg/kg. The data of demography, perinatal situation, medication administration, complications, clinical outcomes in the two groups were compared with Chi-square test, Student′s t-test, Mann-Whitney U test or Fisher′s exact test. Results:Among the 92 preterm infants, 53 were males, 39 were females; 47 were in the MISA group (25 males), and 45 were in the EISA group (28 males). The gestational age and birth weight were (29.5±1.2) weeks and (1 271±242) g in all patients, (29.5±1.4) weeks and (1 285±256) g in the MISA group, and (29.6±0.9) weeks and (1 255±227) g in the EISA group. The duration of surfactant infusion and the length of whole procedure in the MISA group were significantly longer than that in the EISA group (60 (18, 270) s vs. 50 (30, 60) s, Z=3.009, P=0.003; 90 (60, 300) s vs. 60 (44, 270) s, Z=3.365, P=0.001). For the outcomes, the incidence of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) were lower in the MISA group than in the EISA group (36% (17/47) vs. 67% (30/45), χ 2=8.556, P=0.003; 26% (12/47) vs. 47% (21/45), χ 2=4.464, P=0.035). Conclusions:Minimally invasive surfactant administration is applicable in preterm infants ≤30 weeks gestational age with NRDS. Although the length of whole procedure is longer than route endotracheal administration, the benefit of decreasing the incidences of hsPDA and BPD outweighs this demerit.
