Objective To explore the risk factors for renal anemia in hemodialysis patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Methods A total of 48 ESKD patients undergoing hemodialysis in our hospital from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as study objects. They were divided into renal anemia group (86 cases) and non-anemia group (62 cases) based on hemoglobin (Hb) levels and diagnostic criteria for renal anemia. Clinical data between the two groups were compared. Random forest algorithm and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen for factors influencing renal anemia, and a multivariate Logistic regression model was established. Cross-validation was also employed to verify the stability of the model. A risk stratification system was developed, and patients were stratified based on cut-off values obtained from X-Tile software. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the discrimination ability of the multivariate Logistic regression model and the risk stratification system. Results Among 148 ESKD patients, the incidence of renal anemia was 58.11% (86/148). Hypertension, increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), increased serum ferritin (SF), and elevated intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) were identified as risk factors for renal anemia (P < 0.05). Administration of α-calcidol, increased erythropoietin (EPO), elevated triglyceride (TG), and increased serum albumin (ALB) were protective factors (P < 0.05). The goodness-of-fit test for the multivariate Logistic regression model showed a Nagelkerke R2 of 0.593. Based on the cut-off values for risk scores obtained from X-Tile software, patients were stratified into low-risk group (< 4 points, 29 cases), medium-risk group (4 to < 7 points, 64 cases), and high-risk group (≥7 points, 55 cases), with renal anemia incidence rates of 24.14%, 57.81%, and 76.36%, respectively. The difference in renal anemia incidence rates among the three groups was statistically significant (P < 0.001). In the training set, the areas under the ROC curves for the multivariate Logistic regression model and the risk stratification system were 0.826 and 0.811, respectively, and were 0.804 and 0.789, respectively in the validation set. Conclusion The occurrence of renal anemia in hemodialysis patients with ESKD is influenced by various factors, including hypertension, NLR, CRP, etc.

ObjectiveSerum metabolomics of acute lung injury（ALI） in rats was conducted using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS） to explore the similarities and differences in the mechanism of Qingqiao（harvested when the fruits of Forsythiae Fructus were initially ripe and still green in color） and Laoqiao（harvested when the fruits of Forsythiae Fructus were ripe） in the treatment of ALI. MethodA total of 24 SD male rats were acclimatized and fed for 1 week， 6 of them were randomly selected for the blank group and 18 for the experimental group. The ALI model was induced in the experimental group by tracheal intubation with lipopolysaccharide（LPS）. After successfully constructing the ALI model， these rats was randomly divided into model group， Qingqiao group and Laoqiao group， with 6 rats in each group. The Qingqiao and Laoqiao groups were administered orally once a day at a dose of 1.5 g·kg^-1， while the blank and model groups received an equivalent volume of saline for 3 consecutive days. The pathological conditions of rat lung tissues were comprehensively assessed by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， wet-to-dry mass ratio（W/D） of lung tissues， and protein concentration in rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluid（BALF）. The levels of interleukin（IL）-6， IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor（TNF）-α in BALF were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to identify and analyze the chemical compositions of Qingqiao and Laoqiao， and serum metabolomics of rats in each group was analyzed， combined with multivariate statistical analysis with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1， P<0.05 from t-test， and fold change（FC）≥1.5 or FC≤0.5 to screen the differential metabolites Qingqiao and Laoqiao for the treatment of ALI. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） database was used in combination with MetaboAnalyst for the metabolic pathway analysis of the screened differential metabolites. ResultCompared with the blank group， rats in the model group exhibited enlarged alveolar lumen， ruptured alveoli， interstitial hemorrhage， bronchial exudation of a large number of neutrophils and erythrocytes， and a significant increase in the protein concentration in the BALF and the W/D value of the lung tissues（P<0.01）. In contrast， compared with the model group， rats in the Qingqiao group and the Laoqiao group showed reduced bronchial hemorrhage in the lungs， and the protein concentration in the BALF and the W/D value of the lung tissues were significantly decreased（P<0.01）， the lung injury was significantly alleviated， but more obvious in the Qingqiao group. Compared with the blank group， the expression levels of IL-6， IL-1β and TNF-α in the BALF of the model group were significantly higher（P<0.01）. Additionally， compared with the model group， the expression levels of IL-6， IL-1β and TNF-α in the Qingqiao and Laoqiao groups were significantly lower（P<0.01）. The chemical composition analysis of Qingqiao and Laoqiao revealed that 63 components were detected in Qingqiao and 55 components were detected in Laoqiao， with 47 common components， 16 components unique to Qingqiao and 8 components unique to Laoqiao. Characterizing the differences in serum metabolomics in rats， 19 and 12 metabolites were called back by Qingqiao and Laoqiao， respectively. The metabolic pathway enrichment analysis showed that Qingqiao exerted its therapeutic effects by affecting 6 key metabolic pathways， including linoleic acid metabolism， phenylalanine metabolism， phenylalanine， tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis， glycerophospholipid metabolism， α-linolenic acid metabolism， and arachidonic acid metabolism， and Laoqiao exerted therapeutic effects by affecting 6 key metabolic pathways， including linoleic acid metabolism， arachidonic acid metabolism， sphingolipid metabolism， phenylalanine metabolism， ascorbate and aldarate metabolism， and glycerophospholipid metabolism. ConclusionQingqiao and Laoqiao have therapeutic effects on ALI， and Qingqiao is more effective. Both of them can play a therapeutic role in ALI by regulating amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism， but the metabolic pathways affected by them are different.

Objective A sterile golden hamster model was established by cesarean section purification.Methods SPF-grade donor female golden hamsters were selected,and males and females were mated 1∶1 and separated after mating.The cage time of the surrogate mothers was 1 week earlier than that of the donor mothers.Parturient golden hamsters underwent hysterectomy on a sterilized workbench,and the uteruses were transferred into isolation kits and stripped.To obtain sterile milk for milk replacement,sterile ICR mice and sterile SD rats were used.After successful separation,the hamsters were transferred to isolation kits to prepare for feeding.The sterility status of the feeding isolation kits was tested monthly.Results Three caesarean sections were performed,but the first and second lactations failed.The third milk replacement was successful,and 18 young hamsters were obtained with survival rates of 88%and 66%after weaning.All hamsters were quality tested by GB/T 14926.41-2001.Conclusions Using a cesarean section purification technique and sterile ICR mice and SD rats for microbial-free milk replacement,a sterile golden hamster model was obtained.

Objective:To construct a simple model of arteriovenous fistula classification,and to achieve the classification of arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients.Methods:The study was a retrospective analysis, a total of 304 hemodialysis patients with internal fistula in People′s Hospital of Deyang City from January 2016 to January 2021 were selected by convenience sampling method,depending on whether the internal fistula was dysfunctional, patients were divided into 64 in the internal fistula failure group and 240 in the internal fistula patency group. Independent influence factors and their regression coefficient were obtained by single-factor analysis and logistic regression analysis, The risk score formula was established based on the regression coefficient to form a simple model of internal fistula classification.The model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve and the scoring criteria for internal fistula classification was determined.Results:Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus, hypotension, age≥60 years old, compression time≥30 min, blood phosphorus>1.78 mmol/L, triglyceride>1.71 mmol/L and fibrinogen>4 g/L were independent influencing factors of internal fistula failure (all P<0.05).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.858(95% CI 0.789-0.928, P<0.01), and the best critical value of the internal fistula classification was 7.5, the sensitivity was 80.4% and the specificity was 84.8%. Conclusions:By obtaining the predictors of internal fistula failure, conducted the risk score, and constructed a simple model of internal fistula classification, which can effectively predicted the risk of internal fistula failure. It is conducive to the implementation of internal fistula classification management and the puncture of corresponding grade, to ensure the pathway safety of patients.

Objective:To understand the status of sedation and analgesia treatment and management in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) in Shandong Province, and to provide the basis for the improvement of sedation and analgesia treatment plan.Methods:This study was a multi-center retrospective study.The PICUs of 6 tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province participated in this study.The data of 1 340 children admitted to these 6 PICUs from January 2016 to December 2018 were collected.The age, gender, the pediatric risk of mortality score Ⅲ at 24 hours after admission, whether they received mechanical ventilation, whether they received sedation and(or) analgesia, whether they were monitored sedation and(or) analgesia, and in-hospital mortality were analyzed.The children were divided into the simple sedation group( n=798), the sedation + analgesia group( n=120) and the non-sedation analgesia group( n=422) according to whether they received sedation and(or) analgesia.The diseases, proportion of mechanical ventilation, incidence of hypotension, average length of stay in PICU and in-hospital mortality were compared among the three groups. Results:The median age of the 1 340 children was (13.3±6.4) months, including 786 males(58.7%). Sedation therapy had been carried out in 6 PICUs, of which 5 PICUs had routine sedation assessment; 4 PICUs had carried out analgesic therapy, of which only 2 had routine pain assessment.A total of 918 children(68.5%)received sedation and(or) analgesia, midazolam was the most commonly used sedative drug, followed by dexmedetomidine, and 526 children(57.3%)were monitored for sedation assessment, the most commonly used assessment method was the Richmond agitation sedation score.One hundred and twenty(9.0%)cases received sedation combined with analgesia, fentanyl was the most commonly used analgesic, and 38 children(31.7%) underwent routine pain assessment.There was no significant difference in age and sex among the three groups.The proportion of surgical diseases and patients received mechanical ventilation(100.0%, 120/120) were the highest in the sedation + analgesia group.The proportion of mechanically ventilated patients was the lowest in the non-sedation analgesia group(11.4%, 48/422). The mean duration of mechanical ventilation in the sedation + analgesia group was slightly shorter than that in the simple sedation group( P>0.05). The incidence of hypotension was highest in the sedation + analgesia group, and lowest in the non-sedation analgesia group[21.7%(26/120) vs.2.1%(9/422), P<0.01]. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality and mean PICU stay among three groups. Conclusion:Benzodiazepines are still the main sedative drugs used in PICUs in Shandong Province.In recent years, the usage of dexmedetomidine has gradually increased, but the proportion of analgesic use is very low.At present, analgesic and sedative therapy is mainly used for children after surgery and receiving mechanical ventilation.Although analgesic and sedative therapy does not increase the in-hospital mortality and average length of stay in PICU, it increases the incidence of hypotension.The sedative and analgesic treatment and assessment in the PICU of Shandong Province are still not standardized, mainly reflected in infrequently analgesic treatment and the assessment of sedation and pain, which need to be further improved.

Objective:To analyze the causes of puncture wound infections induced by the high pressure resistant injectable PICC catheter in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and management measures.Methods:linical data of 75 patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation who were treated with the high pressure resistant injectable PICC catheter in our hospital from Nov.2017 to Nov.2019 were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether there were puncture wound infections, patients were divided into the infection group(n=26)and the non-infection group(n=49). Bacterial culture results of the infection group were recorded, and the related factors for puncture wound infections caused by the injectable PICC catheter were analyzed.Effective strategies to prevent high-risk factors, treatment frequency, treatment effect and healing time for patients with different degrees of puncture wound infections were discussed.Results:There were 26 patients in the infection group.The proportions of bacteria types associated with PICC catheter-related infections, in descending order, were as follows: Staphylococcus aureus(46.51%), Klebsiella pneumoniae(30.77%), Corynebacterium(15.38%)and others(7.69%). Significant differences were found in materials used, season of tube placement, timing of dressing changes, duration of catheterization, success rate of first tube placement and condition of dressing films between the non-infection and infection groups( t=5.5, 4.9, 5.0, 13.6, 9.4 and 6.2, all P<0.05). Logistic multi-factor analysis showed that non-U-shaped fixation, delay in dressing changes, long duration of tube placement, low success rate of first tube placement, and loose dressing films were the high-risk factors for PICC catheter-related infections( OR=2.78, 2.42, 3.16, 2.66 and 2.32, all P<0.05). Compared with patients with moderate and mild infections, patients with severe infections had a higher frequency of treatment, a lower total effectiveness rate and a longer healing time( F=10.353, 8.775 and 12.341, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Materials, timing of dressing changes, catheterization time, success rate of first tube placement and condition of dressing films are the high-risk factors for puncture wound infections caused by high pressure resistant injectable PICC catheters in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Developing effective intervention strategies can help control the incidence of wound infections.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of acute paraquat(PQ)poisoning in children in southwest Shandong, and the risk factors for pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Methods: This retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of children with acute PQ poisoning admitted from January 2013 to December 2017 in 12 hospitals in southwest Shandong.All participants were divided into pulmonary interstitial fibrosis group and no pulmonary interstitial fibrosis group on the basis of the chest CT 14 days after poisoning.The epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis were analyzed. Results: During the study period, a total of 307 children with acute PQ poisoning were admitted to 12 hospitals, of which 61 (19.87%) were suffering from acute PQ poisoning.Forty-nine cases with complete clinical data were analyzed, including 26 male and 23 female patients poisoned by oral.The age distribution ranged from 8 months to 14 years.Poisoning mainly occured from July to September of each year.The mortality of acute PQ poisoning was 8.2%(4/49), and the incidence of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in survival patients was 44.4%(20/45). Statistical differences (P<0.05) were found between the pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and no pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, with regard to the times of blood purification, the time from poison exposure to blood purification, the application rate of glucocorticoids, the concentration of PQ in urine, the pediatric critical illness score, the time from poison exposure to gastric lavage, the white blood count at admission, serum creatinine, arterial blood lactate, PaO₂, PaCO₂, and PaO₂/FiO₂; however, there was no significant difference in the proportion of blood purification treatment, the mode of blood purification treatment, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea nitrogen, creatine kinase and troponin.Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the time from exposure to poison to gastric lavage(OR=0.683, 95%CI 0.210-2.222)and to blood purification(OR=0.0133, 95%CI 0.004-0.042), the times of blood purification(OR=2.862, 95%CI 1.450-5.648), concentration of PQ in urine(OR=1.435, 95%CI 1.085-1.898), and the use of glucocorticoids(OR=0.190, 95%CI 0.048-0.757) were the risk factors for pulmonary interstitial fibrosis(P<0.05). Conclusion Early gastric lavage and blood purification, increasing the frequence of adminitrating purification appropriately, using low-dose glucocorticoids can reduce the incidence of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis of children with acute PQ poisoning.

Objective:To evaluate and share the novel method for recruiting participants in clinical trials of vaccines in emergency situations.Methods:To publish recruitment notice in local areas of Wuhan through websites and medium, and guide interested persons to log in to the“Clinical Trials of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Reservation and Health Declaration System”to appoint and register their health information. The "Health Declaration System" provides each volunteer evaluation and risk levels to preliminarily exclude those who do not meet the inclusion criteria. Researchers review the qualified volunteers by telephone, organize them to go to the vaccination site, and finally conduct a strict medical screening to determine the final subjects.Results:A total of 4 819 people and 5 132 people registered in the Phase Ⅰ and Phase Ⅱ recruitment system respectively, with men 2 912 (60.43%) and 2 887 (56.25%) more than women 1 907 (39.57%) and 2 245 (43.75%), mostly in the 20-39 age group, with 3 211 (66.63%) and 3 966 (77.28%). All 13 districts in Wuhan have interested residents to participate clinical research.The initial qualified rate of the Phase Ⅱ recruitment system was higher than that of Phase Ⅰ, with men 2 047 (70.28%) and 2 135(73.95%), higher than women 1 083 (56.80%) and 1 472 (65.57%); 440 and 689 people were reviewed by telephone in Phase Ⅰ and Phase Ⅱ respectively, and the number of verified volunteers was about 440 (35.00%) and 689 (67.20%); Of the 201 603 people who arrived at the vaccination site, 12 and 26 of them were positive for the SARS-CoV-2 antibody with an antibody positive rate of 6.00% and 4.31% respectively.Conclusion:The novel method for recruiting subjects in this clinical study is efficient and reliable, and the recruitment situation of Phase Ⅰ had set a good example for Phase Ⅱ but the medium-and long-term compliance of subjects and the separation of willingness and behaviors still need to be further studied.
