ABSTRACT

  Objective  To evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of posterior spinal fusion surgery in the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 1(NF1)thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis, and to explore the mode of perioperative care for nurses provided to the patients.  Methods  We used the retrospective analysis on the 134 patients with NF1 thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis admitted to our department from March 2012 to April 2022 and analyzed the clinical outcomes and perioperative complications by using the related statistics. We evaluated the Perioperative care by the nurses in the treatment of NF1 to explore the mode of nursing to the patients with the NF1, by using specific observation points and evaluation indicators.  Results  NF1 kyphoscoliosis patients had poor preoperative nutritional status and lung function. NF1 kyphoscoliosis underwent longer operation time, lost more blood in operation, had higher osteotomy grade and more postoperative complications. All the patients successfully completed the operation in our group. The correction rate of scoliosis was (52.8±22.7)%, and the correction rate of kyphosis was (57.3±34.6)%. 25 patients had complications but no such serious complications as nerve damage.  Conclusions  The practice of the perioperative nursing to NF1 type scoliosis patients facilitates the shortening of the recovery period, the prevention or timely detection of complications, and improvement of the therapeutic effect.

ABSTRACT

The clinical tumor therapy was greatly challenged due to the complex characteristics of tumor microenvironment, however, which also provide arena for novel therapeutic strategies. In this study, poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-poly(lactic acid)-SS-poly(β-amino ester (PEOz-PLA-SS-PBAE) triblock copolymers with pH and GSH double response were synthesized, polymer micelles were prepared by thin film hydration method for loading of silybin to improve its antitumor activity. The critical micelle concentration was determined by pyrene fluorescence method as 1.8 μg·mL-1. The particle size was 155.30 ± 1.80 nm as determined by dynamic light scattering, with polydispersity index of 0.168 ± 0.004. The drug loading and entrapment efficiency of the micelles were determined by HPLC as (5.48 ± 0.04)% and (68.52 ± 0.48)%, respectively. The in vitro drug release profiles showed that the micelles have low pH sensitivity and high GSH responsiveness, and exhibited sustained release profiles. The good biocompatibility of the material was proved by measuring the hemolysis rate and cytotoxicity of the blank micelle. The cytotoxicity and apoptosis rate of tumor cells showed that the drug loaded PEOz-PLA-SS-PBAE micelles had significant inhibitory effect and apoptosis-inducing effect on MDA-MB-231 cells. The results of wounding healing assay and Transwell invasion test showed that the drug loaded PEOz-PLA-SS-PBAE micelles could significantly inhibit the metastasis of MDA-MB-231 cells. The PEOz-PLA-SS-PBAE drug-loaded micelles prepared in this study have good inhibitory effect on tumor growth and anti-tumor metastasis in vitro, which lays the foundation for the further application of silybin.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo screen the preparation technology of Baoyuan chewable tablets and to preliminarily elucidate its anti-fatigue effect and mechanism. MethodTaking encapsulation rate of volatile oil, extract rate and extraction rate of active ingredients as indexes, single factor test and orthogonal test were used to optimize the volatile oil inclusion, aqueous decoction and formulation molding processes of Baoyuan chewable tablets. ICR rats were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, Gaoshan Hongjingtian oral liquids group(6.01 mL·kg-1) and and Baoyuan chewable tablets low, medium, and high dose groups(2.1, 4.2, 8.4 g·kg-1), 8 mice in each group, and were administered by gastric gavage at the corresponding dose once a day, the blank and model groups were given equal volume of saline for 15 d. After the last administration for 30 min, the mice were loaded with 5% of the body mass of lead at the tail and swam until exhaustion to establish the fatigue model, and the weighted swimming time of the mice in each group was recorded, meanwhile, the muscle tissues of the mice were sliced, stained by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) and subjected to pathological observation, and the levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN), lactic acid(LA), liver glycogen(LG), activities of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) and creatine kinase(CK) in the serum were determined. ResultThe optimal inclusion process of cinnamon oil in Baoyuan chewable tablets was 10∶1 for β-cyclodextrin-volatile oil, and inclusion at 50 ℃ for 2 h with saturated aqueous solution method. The optimal water extraction process was to extract twice, adding 10 times of water to extract for 50 min for the first time, and adding 9 times of water to extract for 40 min for the second time. The ratio of the extract of Baoyuan chewable tablets with microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, mannitol, citric acid, magnesium stearate was 63∶13∶8∶17∶17∶1∶1, the tablets were pressed by wet granulation, the each tablet weight was 1.2 g, and the hardness was 60-80 N. Compared with the model group, Baoyuan chewable tablets low, medium, and high dose groups could significantly prolong the exhaustion time of mice in weight bearing swimming(P<0.05, P<0.01), and improve the exercise endurance of the body, and the results of HE staining showed that all dose groups of Baoyuan chewable tablets could significantly improve the muscle tissue damage caused by exercise, significantly reduce the levels of BUN, LA and the activities of LDH and CK in serum(P<0.01), and significantly increase the content of LG(P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionThe optimized preparation process of Baoyuan chewable tablets is stable and feasible, and the preparation can improve exercise endurance by increasing the LG level in liver tissue, and relieve muscle soreness by accelerating the removal of LA from the body, and reduce CK and LDH activities to exert anti-fatigue effects.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the correlation between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and severe hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP), and to provide assistance for early evaluation and clinical decision-making of HTGP.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2021, the clinical data of 770 patients diagnosed with HTGP at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively collected. According to severity of pancreatitis, the patients were divided into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP), moderate severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) groups, and the differences in TyG index among the 3 groups was compared. According to the quartile range of the TyG index, the patients were divided into TyG Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups, and the distribution of severity of pancreatitis in each TyG index quartile group was calculated. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for statistical analysis. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between TyG index quartile range and the severity of pancreatitis. Linear trend chi-square test was used to analyze the trend of SAP incidence among groups. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between TyG index quartile range and the risk of SAP, and the trend test was also conducted. Results:A total of 770 patients with HTGP were included, among them 330 (42.9%), 268 (34.8%) and 172 (22.3%) were MAP, MSAP and SAP, respectively. The TyG indices of MAP, MSAP and SAP group were 11.8(11.3, 12.4), 12.5(11.9, 13.2) and 12.7(12.1, 13.4), respectively, and the differences among the 3 groups were statistically significant ( H=121.77, P<0.001). The TyG index was 12.21 (11.57, 12.94) in the 770 patients. There were 192, 193, 193 and 192 patients enrolled in TyG Q1(TyG index <11.57)、 Q2(TyG index ranged from 11.57 to <12.21)、 Q3(TyG index ranged from 12.21 to <12.94) and Q4(TyG index≥12.94) group, respectively.The correlation test showed that the difference between TyG quartile range and the severity of pancreatitis was statistically significant ( ρ=0.372, P<0.001). The incidence of SAP in TyG Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 group was 10.9%(21/192), 14.5%(28/193), 27.5%(53/193) and 36.5%(70/192), respectively. The trend test of SAP incidence among the TyG gruops was statistically significant ( χ2 =44.33, P<0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, taking the TyG Q1 group as a reference, the OR values of SAP risk (95% confidence interval) of the TyG Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups were 1.250 (0.619 to 2.524), 2.882 (1.506 to 5.514) and 6.660 (3.456 to 12.836), respectively, and the trend test of SAP risk showed a significant difference ( OR=2.508, 95%confidence interval 1.883 to 3.341, P<0.001). Conclusions:There is a correlation between TyG index and severity of pancreatitis in patients with HTGP. As the TyG index increases, the risk of SAP increases in HTGP patients. TyG index may be an early predictor of severe HTGP.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae ( Mp) in children undergoing physical examination. Methods:This study randomly enrolled 1 303 children at the age of 6-12 years who underwent physical examination in 2023. Their oral and pharyngeal swabs as well as venous blood samples were collected. The prevalence of Mp in these subjects was detected using isolation and culturing, nucleic acid detection and serological test. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:Among the 1 303 children, the detection rate of Mp was 4.1% (53/1 303) by culturing, 7.3% (95/1 303) by nucleic acid detection and 13.6% (177/1 303) by serological test. Statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences in the the detection rates of Mp among children undergoing physical examination between the three methods ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The detection rate of Mp in children undergoing physical examination in 2023 was about 4.1%. Isolation and culturing was more accurate than nucleic acid detection and serological test in the detection of Mp in healthy population as the latter two methods would overestimate the rate.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate COVID-19 vaccination status and relevant adverse reactions in patients with psoriasis treated with biological agents, and to explore the effect of COVID-19 vaccination on psoriatic lesions.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 572 psoriasis patients aged 18 - 60 years, who were registered in the management system of psoriasis patients treated with biological agents in the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from May 2019 to June 2021. The COVID-19 vaccination status was investigated by telephone interviews, and the vaccination-related information was obtained by fixed healthcare workers during a fixed time period according to a predesigned questionnaire. Measurement data were compared between two groups by using t test, and enumeration data were compared by using chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. Results:The COVID-19 vaccination coverage rate was 43.13% (226 cases) among the 524 patients who completed the telephone interview, and was significantly lower in the biological agent treatment group (30.79%, 105/341) than in the traditional drug treatment group (66.12%, 121/183; χ2 = 60.60, P < 0.001) . The main reason for not being vaccinated was patients′ fear of vaccine safety (49.66%, 148/298) , followed by doctors′ not recommending (26.51%, 79/298) . In the biological agent treatment group after vaccination, the exacerbation of psoriatic lesions was more common in patients receiving prolonged-interval treatment (42.86%, 6/14) compared with those receiving regular treatment (4.40%, 4/91; Fisher′s exact test, P < 0.001) . Skin lesions were severely aggravated in two patients after COVID-19 vaccination, who ever experienced allergic reactions and whose skin lesions did not completely subside after the treatment with biological agents. Conclusions:The COVID-19 vaccination coverage rate was relatively low in the psoriasis patients treated with biological agents, and no serious adverse reaction was observed after vaccination. Prolonged-interval treatment due to COVID-19 vaccination ran the risk of exacerbation of skin lesions.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of paeoniflorin on toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear transcription factor(NF-κB) signaling pathway of streptozotocin combined with ovariectomized mice, and to explore whether it can improve the cognitive impairment of ovariectomized diabetic mice.Methods:Ninety female C57BL/6J mice were divided into SHAM group, ovariectomy group, diabetes group(intraperitoneal injection of STZ 50 mg·kg -1·d -1 for 5 consecutive days), dual model group(DM modeling and OVX operation), paeoniflorin low-dose intervention group(OVX+ STZ+ L-PF 50 mg·kg -1·d -1), paeoniflorin high-dose intervention group(OVX+ STZ+ H-PF 100 mg·kg -1·d -1; all groups n=15). After 8 weeks of paeoniflorin intervention, their cognitive function was tested by behavioral experiments(Morris water maze and Y maze). The pathological changes of hippocampal tissue were observed by HE and Nissl staining. The mRNA expressions of TLR4, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and interleukin-6(IL-6) in hippocampal tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The expression of TLR4, NF-κB P65, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, β-amyloid protein(Aβ), tau proteins, and p-tau proteins were detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with SHAM group, the learning and memory ability of ovariectomy group, diabetes group and dual model group decreased, hippocampal cells were damaged, and the expression of related gene mRNA and protein were increased, especially in dual model group; Compared with dual model group, paeoniflorin intervention could delayed the learning and memory impairment, improve cognitive function, reduce the degree of hippocampal injury, and decrease the expression levels of related gene mRNA and protein, The above changes were the most pronounced at paeoniflorin high-dose intervention group.Conclusion:Paeoniflorin improves cognitive dysfunction in ovariectomized diabetic mice by inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of autophagy related gene Atg101 on white adipocyte senescence.Methods:An Atg101 knockdown model of 3T3-L1 mature adipocytes was constructed to probe the effect of Atg101 on autophagy-related proteins LC3 and p62 protein. The RNA-seq database of human subcutaneous adipose tissue was constructed and analyzed, and the co-expressed gene set was predicted based on the pearson correlation coefficient( R2>0.4, P<0.05) between FPKM values of Atg101 and other gene, followed by KEGG and Reactome enrichment analysis. Young mouse(8 weeks old) and old mouse(18 months old) models were established, and the expression levels of Atg101 in inguinal white adipose tissue and epididymal white adipose tissue were detected by quantitative real-time PCR(RT-qPCR) and Western blot. Furthermore, the differences in white adipocyte senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP), cell cycle and mitochondrial homeostasis-related genes were detected by RNA-seq, Western blot, and RT-qPCR to analyze the effects of Atg101 silencing on adipocyte senescence. Results:The autophagy-related protein LC3-Ⅱ expression was significantly decreased and p62 protein was induced after Atg101 was knockdowned in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, suggesting impaired cell autophagy. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that Atg101 co-expressed gene set was mainly enriched in autophagy and senescence-related pathways; Reactome enrichment analysis revealed that this gene set was associated with multiple cell cycle signaling pathways. RT-qPCR and Western blot confirmed that both mRNA and protein levels of Atg101 were down-regulated in inguinal white adipose tissue of aging mice, and protein levels in epididymal white adipose tissue were also significantly reduced. Finally, it was further confirmed that SASP-related genes were induced after Atg101 knockdown in white adipocytes, and cell cycle-specific gene expression was restricted and cytokine-dependent protein kinase inhibitors p16 and p21 expressions were significantly increased, while mitochondrial homeostasis regulatory genes were also suppressed.Conclusions:Knockdown of Atg101 may regulate white adipocyte senescence by inhibiting autophagic activity, presenting impaired mitochondrial homeostasis.

ABSTRACT

italic>Ardisia crispa (Thunb.) A. DC. is a traditional Miao medicinal herb with significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of sore throat, tonsillitis, edema of nephritis and bruising and rheumatism, etc. Ardisia crispa var. amplifolia and Ardisia crispa var. dielsii are varieties of A. crispa. A. crispa var. amplifolia and A. crispa var. dielsii are controversial in terms of species evolutionary relationships and taxonomic identification. In this study, we sequenced the whole genome sequences of A. crispa var. amplifolia and A. crispa var. dielsii chloroplasts using Illumina platform, assembled, annotated and characterized them, compared the structural features and degree of variation among chloroplast genomes using bioinformatics methods, and also downloaded constructing phylogenetic trees to analyze the phylogenetic relationships of chloroplasts in Primulaceae and Myrsinaceae using whole genome sequence information. The results showed that the complete chloroplast genome sequences of A. crispa var. amplifolia and A. crispa var. dielsii were 156 749 bp and 156 748 bp in length, with 132 genes annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes; the codon preference of A/U was greater than that of G/C; The differences in the coding regions of rps15 and rpoB genes in the comparative genome analysis can be used as loci for molecular identification of the two species; the differences in the coding regions of ycf1, ycf2, rpoC1, ycf3, petD and rpl16 genes in the chloroplast genome compared with those of the same genus can be used as loci for identification of the genus. In the phylogenetic results, A. crispa var. amplifolia and A. crispa var. dielsii were clustered together with 100% support, indicating that they are closely related. In this research, we analyzed the chloroplast genome structure and phylogenetic relationships of A. crispa var. amplifolia and A. crispa var. dielsii, providing an important theoretical basis for their molecular identification, genetic variation, breeding and phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To summarize the clinical features and pathogenic gene mutation of Galloway-Mowat syndrome (GAMOS).Methods:We retrospectively collected the medical history, physical signs, laboratory findings, imaging, and molecular data of GAMOS in an infant diagnosed at the department of Pediatrics of Women and Children's Hospital, School of Medicine, Xiamen university. Relevant literature up to December 2021, retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang and the Chinese Medical Journal Full Text database with the terms of "Galloway-Mowat syndrome", "infant", "WDR73", "LAGE3", "OSGEP", "TP53RK" and "TPRKB".Results:The male infant with dysmorphic facial features and microcephaly at birth gradually displayed growth restriction and developmental delay. He was admitted to hospital at 3 months and 1 day due to "tachypnea for a half day", and suffered from severe pneumonia, urinary tract infection, nephrotic syndrome, repetitive convulsion, septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, acute renal damage and multiple organ failure during hospitalization. He died when his family had given up treatment. Whole exome sequencing revealed a homozygous mutation c.740G>A (p.Arg247Gln) in the OSGEP gene and both of his parents were heterozygous variation carriers. In the total 14 publications (13 were in English and only 1 in Chinese) that were retrieved, with 78 patients from 58 pedigrees. Together with the index case, there were 79 patients in total. The main clinical manifestations were craniofacial and skeletal dysmorphism, as well as nervous system, renal and eye impairment. Obstetric problems were detected in 15 cases (19.0%), including intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, oligohydramnios and fetal distress in utero. 49 cases (62.0%) died when reported. The genetic cause of GAMOS had been reported in 79 patients: OSGEP in 36 (45.6%), WDR73 in 29 (36.7%), TP53RK in 7(8.9%), LAGE3 in 5 (6.3%), and TPRKB in 2(2.5%).Conclusions:The main clinical manifestations of GAMOS were craniofacial and skeletal dysmorphism, development delay, leukoencephalopathy, myelination defect, proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome, and associated with poor prognosis. Prenatal findings may be useful for an early diagnosis.

Objective:To study the clinical and genetic characteristics of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) in neonates.Methods:From January 2016 to August 2022, neonates with WAS admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital were studied.Their clinical features, laboratory findings, genetic characteristics and clinical outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 11 neonates(all male) were included. The mothers of 3 neonates had thrombocytopenia during pregnancy. The presenting symptoms included isolated bloody stool (4 cases), jaundice (3 cases), bloody stool with petechiae, bloody stool with hematemesis, cough and fever(1 case each). Eczema appeared from 6 d to 3 months after birth and in 6 cases during the neonatal period. None of the 11 cases had serious infection during the neonatal period. 9 cases had infection from 8 d to 5 months and 2 cases had not been infected until the last follow-up. Genetic sequencing showed four frameshift variants(c.30dupC, c.205dupT, c.1340_1343dupC and c.673_674delA), four nonsense variants(c.37C>T, c.295C>T, c.889C>T and c.823G>T) and three missense variants(c.134C>T, c.397G>A and c.341T>C). Pedigree verification of variants found 10 cases were inherited from their mothers and 1 case was de novo variant.Conclusions:WAS is characterized by bloody stool and eczema in the neonatal period, mostly without serious infections and lacking specific manifestations. Genetic screening for early identification of unexplained thrombocytopenia in male newborns should be performed as early as possible.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand the current state of financial toxicity and suicide risk in head and neck cancer patients, to investigate the correlation between the level of financial toxicity and suicide risk in head and neck cancer patients, and to provide a basis for reducing the level of financial toxicity and the risk of suicide in head and neck cancer patients.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted, from March 1 to July 31, 2022, 150 head and neck cancer patients were selected from Oncology Department of East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Universityby by convenient sampling method. The survey was carried out by means of the general questionnaire, Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity based on the Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (COST-PROM), Cancer Suicide Risk Scale (CSRS), and then analysis the datum.Results:The score of COST-PROM of 150 head and neck cancer patients was (18.00 ± 6.12) points, and the score of CSRS of head and neck cancer patients was (36.31 ± 8.51) points. The total score of economic toxicity was significantly negatively correlated with the total score of suicide risk and its dimensions ( r values were -0.446 to 0.235, all P<0.05). The total score of suicide risk was negatively correlated with the total score of economic toxicity and the scores of each dimension ( r values were -0.446 to -0.251, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with head and neck cancer were at higher risk of suicide, and financial toxicity was a significant contributing factor to suicide risk, with higher levels of financial toxicity associated with a higher risk of suicide. Reducing the level of financial toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer has important implications for reducing their risk of suicide.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the construction and clinical practice of the training system for nurses in operating room subspecialty based on ORTCC model (including objectives, rules, training, assessment and culture), and to provide theoretical and practical guidance for the development of nursing subspecialty in operating room.Methods:This was a quasi-experimental study. The Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was convenient to select 23 operating room nurses who rotated in orthopedic surgery rooms from January 2019 to June 2020 as the control group, and the traditional training model for specialized nurses in operating rooms was adopted. From July 2020 to December 2021, the 24 operating room nurses rotating orthopedic surgery rooms were selected as the experimental group, and ORTCC teaching mode was adopted. The degree of mastery of theoretical knowledge, standardization of operation skills, correct rate of standard preventive implementation and satisfaction rate of doctors of operating room nurses under two different training methods were compared.Results:The theoretical score of operating room nurses increased from (84.71 ± 5.70) points in the control group to (92.68 ± 3.64) points in the experimental group, and the skill score increased from (90.17 ± 4.69) points in the control group to (95.43 ± 2.61) points in the experimental group, with statistical significance ( t = 13.76, 5.64, both P<0.01). The satisfaction rate of surgeons to nurses′ surgical cooperation ability communication, cooperation ability and emergency treatment ability increased from 82.61%(19/23), 73.91%(17/23) and 78.26%(18/23) in the control group to 100.00%(24/24), 95.83% (24/24) and 100.00% (24/24) in the experimental group, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t = 4.56, 4.45, 5.84, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The training system of operating room subspecialty nurses based on ORTCC model is conducive to improving the theoretical knowledge mastery, standard operation skills and doctor satisfaction rate of operating room nurses to the specialty and subspecialty, providing training basis for the development of operating room subspecialty, and worthy of clinical promotion.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish a risk prediction model of acute kidney injury in paraquat (PQ) poisoning patients.Methods:A retrospective observational cohort of adult patients with acute PQ poisoning between September 10, 2010 and January 16, 2020 from the Emergency Department of West China Hospital, Sichuan University were conducted. Data on demographics, clinical records, and laboratory results were collected from electronic medical record. The patients were divided into the AKI group and the non-AKI group according to whether AKI occurred during hospitalization. The patients were randomly divided into the training and validation groups (7:3). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk factors of AKI and the nomogram was used to establish a prediction model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were used to evaluate the differentiation and calibration of the prediction model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical validity of the prediction model.Results:A total of 718 patients were included in this study. AKI occurred in 323 (45%) patients in hospital and 378 (52.6%) patients died. The mortality rate of the AKI group was higher than that of the non-AKI group (72.8% vs. 36.2%, P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the time from poisoning to treatment ( OR=1.018, 95% CI:1.006-1.030), white blood cell count ( OR=1.128, 95% CI: 1.084-1.173), aspartate aminotransferase ( OR=1.017, 95% CI:1.006-1.027), cystatin C ( OR=516.753, 95% CI: 99.337-2688.172), and PQ concentration ( OR=1.064, 95% CI:1.044-1.085) in blood on admission were independent risk factors of AKI in patients with PQ poisoning ( P<0.01). The area under the ROC curve was 0.943 (95% CI: 0.923-0.962) in the training cohort, and the sensitivity and specificity were 82.4% and 93.6%, respectively. The calibration curve showed optimal agreement between prediction by nomogram and actual observation. Decision curve and clinical impact curve analysis indicated that the nomogram conferred high clinical net benefit. Conclusions:The time from poisoning to treatment, white blood cell count, aspartate aminotransferase, cystatin C, and PQ concentration in blood on admission were independent risk factors of AKI. The predictive model based on the above indicators has high sensitivity and specificity in evaluating AKI after PQ poisoning. Whether this prediction model can be applied to other PQ poisoning patients needs to be further expanded for verification.
