Objective To investigate the protective effects of antitumor necrosis factor-α antibody (TNF-αAb) on lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and their mechanisms. Methods Forty healthy New Zealand white rabbits,weighting 2.0-2.5 kg,male or female,were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 rabbits in each group. In groupⅠ,the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion. In group Ⅱ,the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion with TNF-αAb. In group Ⅲ,the rabbits received CPB only. In group Ⅳ,the rabbits only received sham surgery. Neutrophils count,TNF-α and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations of the blood samples from the left and right atrium as well as oxygenation index were examined before and after CPB in the 4 groups. Pathological and ultrastructural changes of the lung tissues were observed under light and electron microscopes. Lung water content,TNF-α mRNA and apoptoticindex of the lung tissues were measured at different time points. Results Compared with group Ⅳ,after CPB,the rabbitsin group Ⅰ to group Ⅲ showed significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count,TNF-α and MDA(P<0.05),higherTNF-α mRNA expression,apoptosis index and water content of the lung tissues (P<0.05),and significantly lower oxyg-enation index (P<0.05) as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with group Ⅱ,after CPB,the rabbits in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ had significantly higher blood concentrations of TNF-α (5 minutes after aortic declamping,220.43±16.44 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml,P<0.05;249.99±14.09 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml,P<0.05),significantly higher apoptosis index (at the time of CPB termination,60.7‰±13.09‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰,P<0.05;59.6‰±7.74‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰,P<0.05),significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count and MDA (P<0.05),significantly higher TNF-α mRNA expression and water content of the lung tissues (P<0.05),and significantly loweroxygenation index (P<0.05) as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with groupⅠ,rabbits in group Ⅲ had significantly higher above parameters (P<0.05) but lower oxygenation index (P<0.05) only at 30 minutes after the start of CPB. Conclusion Pulmonary artery perfusion with TNF-αAb can significantly attenuate inflammatory lung injury and apoptosis of the lung tissues during CPB.

ObjectiveTo analyze the influencing factors of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in comprehensive intensive care units (ICUs) in a certain district of Shanghai, and to provide evidence for developing targeted measures to prevent and reduce the occurrence of VAP.MethodsThe target surveillance data of 1 567 inpatients with mechanical ventilation over 48 hours in comprehensive ICUs of 5 hospitals in the district from January 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed to determine whether VAP occurred. The data were analyzed with SPSS 21.0 software to describe the occurrence of VAP in patients and to screen the influencing factors of VAP.ResultsThere were 133 cases of VAP in the 1 567 patients, with the incidence of 8.49% and the daily incidence of 6.01‰; the incidence of VAP decreased year by year from 2015 to 2017 (χ2trend=11.111, P=0.001). The mortality rate was 12.78% in VAP patients while was 7.25% in non-VAP patients; the difference was significant (χ2=5.223, P=0.022). A total of 203 pathogenic bacteria were detected in patients with VAP, mainly Gram-negative bacteria (153 strains, accounting for 75.37%). The most common pathogen was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The single factor analysis showed that gender, age, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score, the length of ICU stay, and the length of mechanical ventilation were the influencing factors of VAP (χ2=9.572, 5.237, 34.759, 48.558, 44.960, P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis found that women [odds ratio (OR)=1.608, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.104, 2.340), P=0.013], APACHE Ⅱ score >15 [OR=4.704, 95%CI (2.655, 8.335), P<0.001], the length of ICU stay >14 days [OR=2.012, 95%CI (1.188, 3.407), P=0.009], and the length of mechanical ventilation >7 days [OR=2.646, 95%CI (1.439, 4.863), P=0.002] were independent risk factors of VAP.ConclusionsNosocomial infection caused by mechanical ventilation in this area has a downward trend, and the mortality rate of patients with VAP is higher. For the patients treated with mechanical ventilation in ICU, we should actively treat the primary disease, shorten the length of ICU stay and the length of mechanical ventilation, and strictly control the indication of withdrawal, thereby reduce the occurrence of VAP.
Objective To evaluate long-term outcomes of surgical repair for pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs).?Methods?We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 29 patients with PA-VSD and MAPCAs who underwent surgical repair in Shanghai Children’s Medical Center from February 2001 to February 2010. There were 13 patients in the one-stage operation group and 16 patients in the staged operation group. There were 8 males and 5 females in the one-stage operation group with their age ranging from 8 to 168 (26.0±17.0)months. There were 9 males and 7 females in the staged operation group with their age ranging from 4 to 149 (26.5±15.8)months. Eight patients underwent their second operation with the time interval between the two operations ranging from 14 to 40 (28.3±11.7) months. For MAPCAs, 9 patients underwent unifocalization, 16 patients underwent ligation or occlusion via cardiac catheterization, and the other 4 patients left them open or unrepaired. We compared postoperative mortality, complications, long-term outcomes, and quality of life between the two groups. Quality of life of the 29 PA-VSD patients was measured according to Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory version 4.0 and compared with 100 children from a kindergarten as a control group.?Results?Postoperative mortality of one-stage operation group was significantly higher than that of staged operation group at 15.4% (2/13) vs. 0.0% with χ2=4.12 and P=0.04. There was no statistical difference in the rate of postoperative complications between the two groups at 75.0% (9/12) vs. 56.2% (9/16) with χ2=0.51 and P=0.47. Patients were followed up for 3 to 88 months, and the follow-up mortality of one-stage operation group was not significantly higher than that of staged operation group at 27.3% (3/11) vs. 6.2% (1/16) with χ2= 2.28 and P=0.13. There was no statistical difference in overall quality of life score between one-stage operation group and staged operation group (66.7±8.6 vs 70.2±13.0, t?=?-0.71, P=0.48) . The overall quality of life score of PA-VSD patients was significantly lower than that of control group (68.7±11.2 vs. 77.8±15.7, t?= 3.14, P=0.01), mainly because the physical functioning score of PA-VSD patients was significantly lower than that of control group (57.7±11.7 vs. 83.0±19.6, t?=5.67, P=0.00), but there was no statistical difference in emotional well-being score, social functioning score, and school functioning score between PA-VSD patients and the control group.?Conclusion It is the key to analyze different pulmonary artery conformation, choose individualized surgical procedure and properly manage MAPCAs so as to reduce postoperative mortality and complications of surgical repair for patients with PA-VSD and MAPCAs.
Objectives To analyze the risk factors of secondary infections in breast cancer or lung cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced degree Ⅳ neutropenia, so as to provide reference for clinical treatment. Methods The case-control study design was used. Thirty-seven in-patients of breast cancer or lung cancer with secondary infections and 87 in-patients without secondary infection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January to December 2014 were enrolled as study population. We collected the retrospective information and analyzed the risk factors of secondary infection with chemotherapy-induced degree Ⅳ neutropenia using factors under univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis. Results Single factor analysis showed that the patients whose MASCC<21 the had higher infection risks (P<0.05). For breast cancer patients with degree Ⅳ neutropenia, secondary infection risk of first two chemotherapy cycles was 2.87 times of subsequent cycles of chemotherapy. For lung cancer patients with degree Ⅳ neutropenia, invasive procedures and preventive use of antibiotics increased risk of infection (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed MASCC score and chemotherapy cycles were significantly associated with secondary infection in breast cancer degree Ⅳ neutropenia patients (P<0.05). Invasive procedures were significantly correlated to secondary infection of patients with lung cancer degree Ⅳ neutropenia (P<0.05). Conclusions MASCC score and chemotherapy cycles are the risk factors of infection in breast cancer patients with degree Ⅳ neutropenia, and invasive procedures are the independent risk factors of infection in lung cancer patients with degree Ⅳ neutropenia.

Objective To improve the awareness of acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( AEIPF) and discuss its clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and outcome. Methods The clinical data of patients with AEIPF from June 2006 to June 2011 in 11 hospitals in Jiangsu were collected and analyzed. Resluts There were 18 males and 3 females in the AEIPF patients with mean age of ( 67.4 ± 8.1) years. The duration from IPF diagnosis was ( 7.4 ±8.2) months. The duration of acute symptom before admission was ( 7.0 ±5.3) days. The distribution pattern of new groud-glass opacity was peripheral in 3 patients,multifocal in 5 patients, and diffuse in13 patients. All patients were treated with corticosteroid pulse therapy. Nine patients survived and 12 patients died. The mortality rate was 57.1% . Conclusions AEIPF progresses quickly and the mortality rate is very high. Corticosteroid pulse therapy is the mainstay of therapy in AEIPF patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical risk factors of preterm infants and its severity in premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).MethodsRetrospective clinical study was performed. A total of 126 preterm infants with BPD in the Neonatal Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2016 to December 2018 were enrolled in the study. Among them, 69 were males and 57 were females, whose gestational age<32 weeks and birth weight<1500 g. BPD grades Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ were 63, 40, and 23 cases respectively. According to the presence or absence of ROP, children were divided into ROP group and non-ROP group, with 48 (38.1%) and 78 (61.9%) cases respectively. The differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Quantitative data comparison between groups was performed by t test, and count data comparison was performed by χ2 test. The risk factors of ROP in BPD premature infants were analyzed by multi-factor logistics regression. The correlation between BPD severity and ROP severity was tested by Spearman rank correlation test.ResultsCompared with the non-ROP group, the ROP group had a smaller gestational age (t=5.988), lower birth weight (t=7.371), higher the application rate of oxygen concentration>30% (duration of service>24 h), high rate (χ2=17.244) and longer noninvasive ventilation time (t=-7.139), the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). In the logistic regression model, the noninvasive ventilation time was the risk factor for ROP in preterm infants with BPD (OR≈1.054, P<0.05), while gestational age and birth weight were importantly protective factors for ROP in preterm infants with BPD (OR≈0.938, 0.996; P<0.05). The results of the correlation analysis found that the severity of BPD was significantly positively correlated with the severity of ROP. As the severity of BPD increased, the severity of ROP increased, and the difference was statistically significant (rs=0.306, P<0.035).ConclusionsFetal gestational age, low birth weight, hyperoxia, and long-term non-invasive mechanical ventilation are the main risk factors for ROP in preterm infants with BPD. The severity of BPD is positively correlated with the incidence and severity of ROP.
