Establishment of a rapid method for quality assessment of cardiotonic effect of Shengfupian / 药学学报

Based on the similar structure of adrenaline shared by higenamine (HI), salsolinol (SA) and coryneine (CO), a photochemical colorimetric sensor based on the displacement reaction of o-diphenol hydroxyl group and alizarin red S-phenylboric acid system was constructed to quickly distinguish and identify the cardiac strength of Shengfupian. The results show that the optimal condition of the sensor is: the molar ratio of alizarin red S (ARS) to phenylboric acid (PA) is 1∶3, reaction temperature is 0 ℃; The preparation method of the sample solution is optimized as follows: 2.5 g of Shengfupian powder was taken, 10 times the amount of methanol was added, and 300 W, 40 kHz ultrasound was carried out for 15 min; methodological studies showed that the method had good precision, repeatability and stability. The |△G| value (G is green, |△G| = |G after - G before|) of each sample was obtained by response values determination of 14 batches of Shengfupian. LC-MS/MS was used to determine the contents of three cardiac components in Shengfupian. It was found that the order of the total contents of cardiotonic components was basically consistent with |△G|. Then the correlation was analyzed, and the correlation coefficient R2 was as high as 0.87, which proved the scientificity and accuracy of this method. This study fills the methodological gap of rapid evaluation of the quality of Shengfupian, and provides the key technical support for the high quality and good price of Shengfupian in the market circulation and clinical application.

Exploratory study of tracheal extubation in operating room after single-lung transplantation / 器官移植

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of tracheal extubation in operating room for patients with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after single-lung transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 57 recipients who underwent single-lung transplantation due to end-stage COPD were retrospectively analyzed. According to the evaluation indexes of tracheal extubation in operating room established by our hospital, 17 recipients eligible for tracheal extubation in operating room were assigned into the operating room extubation group (OR extubation group) and 40 recipients receiving tracheal extubation in intensive care unit (ICU) were allocated in the ICU extubation group. The evaluation results of intraoperative tracheal extubation and postoperative recovery were compared between two groups. Results Compared with the ICU extubation group, recipients in the OR extubation group had higher oxygenation index, lower arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), lower blood lactic acid level, less fluctuation range of blood pressure and fewer cases receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during operation (all P < 0.05). Two recipients in the OR extubation group received repeated tracheal intubation at 6 and 8 h after returning to ICU, and tracheal extubation at postoperative 6 and 9 d. In the OR extubation group, time of postoperative mechanical ventilation, length of postoperative ICU and hospital stay of the recipients were shorter than those in the ICU extubation group (all P < 0.05). The incidence of grade 3 primary graft dysfunction (PGD), atrial tachyarrhythmia, continuous renal replacement therapy and 1-year survival rate did not significantly differ between two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusions The tracheal extubation regimen in the operating room for COPD patients after single-lung transplantation established by our hospital is safe and feasible, which shortens the time of postoperative mechanical ventilation, the length of postoperative ICU and hospital stay, whereas does not increase the incidence of postoperative complications.

Screen time and sleep duration were evaluated through questionnaires, and depressive symptom was assessed by the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).@*Results@#The prevalence of depressive symptoms (CES-D≥16) was 27.71%(557). Logistic regression analysis showed that students with screen time >2 h/d( OR=1.90, 95%CI =1.53-2.37), sleep duration <7 h/d ( OR=2.54, 95%CI =1.88-3.42) were statistically associated with depressive symptoms. stratified analysis showed that, sleep duration of <7 h/d was associated with increased odds of depressive symptoms, the magnitude among students with screen time >2 h/d( OR=2.46, 95%CI =1.64-3.71) was higher than those with screen time ≤2 h/d( OR=2.35, 95%CI =1.51-3.65).@*Conclusion@#High prevalence of depressive symptoms was observed among middle school students in Nanjing. Prolonged screen time and insufficient sleep duration are associated with increased odds of depressive symptoms. Attention should be paid to the mental health of adolescents with the combined exposure of screen based activities and lack of sleep.

Predictive value of D-dimer for deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity in adult burn patients / 中华烧伤杂志

Objective: To investigate the predictive value of D-dimer for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity in adult burn patients. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 3 861 adult burn patients who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the Department of Burns of Zhengzhou First People's Hospital from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019 were collected. The patients were divided into DVT group (n=77) and non-DVT group (n=3 784) according to whether DVT of lower extremity occurred during hospitalization or not. Data of patients in the two groups were collected and compared, including the gender, age, total burn area, D-dimer level, with lower limb burn and inhalation injury or not on admission, with sepsis/septic shock, femoral vein indwelling central venous catheter (CVC), history of surgery, and infusion of concentrated red blood cells or not during hospitalization. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square test. The indicators with statistically significant differences between the two groups were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen the independent risk factors for DVT of lower extremity in 3 861 adult burn patients. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the independent risk factors predicting DVT of lower extremity in 3 861 adult burn patients were drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC), the optimal threshold value, and the sensitivity and specificity under the optimal threshold value were calculated. The quality of the AUC was compared by Delong test, and the sensitivity and specificity under the optimal threshold value were compared using chi-square test. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in gender, occurrence of sepsis/septic shock or history of surgery during hospitalization between patients in the two groups (P>0.05), while there were statistically significant differences in age, total burn area, D-dimer level, lower limb burn and inhalation injury on admission, and femoral vein indwelling CVC and infusion of concentrated red blood cells during hospitalization between patients in the two groups (t=-8.17, with Z values of -5.04 and -10.83, respectively, χ2 values of 21.83, 5.37, 7.75, and 4.52, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, total burn area, and D-dimer level were the independent risk factors for DVT of lower extremity in 3 861 adult burn patients (with odds ratios of 1.05, 1.02, and 1.14, respectively, 95% confidence intervals of 1.04-1.06, 1.00-1.03, and 1.10-1.20, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The AUCs of ROC of age, total burn area, and D-dimer level for predicting DVT of lower extremity in 3 861 adult burn patients were 0.74, 0.67, and 0.86, respectively (with 95% confidence intervals of 0.68-0.80, 0.60-0.74, and 0.83-0.89, respectively, P values<0.01), the optimal threshold values were 50.5 years old, 10.5% total body surface area, and 1.845 mg/L, respectively, the sensitivity under the optimal threshold values were 71.4%, 70.1%, and 87.0%, respectively, and the specificity under the optimal threshold values were 66.8%, 67.2%, and 72.9%, respectively. The AUC quality and sensitivity and specificity under the optimal threshold value of D-dimer level were significantly better than those of age (z=3.29, with χ2 values of 284.91 and 34.25, respectively, P<0.01) and total burn area (z=4.98, with χ2 values of 326.79 and 29.88, respectively, P<0.01), while the AUC quality and sensitivity and specificity under the optimal threshold values were similar between age and total burn area (P>0.05). Conclusions: D-dimer level is an independent risk factor for DVT of lower extremity in adult burn patients, its AUC quality and sensitivity and specificity under the optimal threshold value are better than those of age and total burn area, and it has good predictive value for DVT of lower extremity in adult burn patients.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognostic value of liver function in a large samples of patients with anti-glycoprotein 210 (gp210 antibody) positive primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 931 PBC cases in Beijing You'an Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from 2010 to 2019. According to the detection of gp210 antibody, 318 cases were divided into gp210 antibody positive group (positive group) and 613 cases were divided into gp210 antibody negative group (negative group). The differences in demographic, medical history, clinical indicators, B-ultrasound and pathological indicators as well as the histopathological basis were compared between the two groups. SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Measurement data were analyzed by t-test or rank sum test, and enumeration data by χ2 test. Multivariate analysis was used for logistic test, and and survival analysis was used for prognosis. Results: The positive and the negative groups were compared. The ratio of male to female was significantly higher in positive than negative group (1:5.35 vs. 1:9.73, P＜0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. The proportion of hormone use in history of past diagnosed and treated was higher in positive than negative group (12.9% vs. 3.47%, P＜0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. The detection of biochemical indexes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) were higher in positive than the negative group (51.1 U/L vs. 41.1 U/L, 62.6 U/L vs. 49.6 U/L, 24.1 μmol/L vs. 17.9 μmol/L, 228.3 U/L vs. 169.6 U/L, 203.9 U/L vs. 147.6 U/L), (P＜0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. Antinuclear antibody (ANA)-positive rate, high titer ratio and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were higher in positive than negative group (95.2% vs. 81.6%, 69.7% vs. 48.8%, 17.2 g/L vs. 16.2 g/L), (P＜0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. The incidence of liver failure was higher in positive than negative group (P＜0.05). CK7 and inflammation score were higher in positive group than negative group in liver histopathological observations (0.83±0.53 vs. 0.28±0.47; 1.06±0.39 vs. 0.54±0.65), (P＜0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: The illness condition of patients with gp210 antibody positive PBC is more severe than patients with gp210 antibody negative PBC, and the incidence of liver failure is significantly increased. Cholangiocytes may be the histopathological basis of the clinical characteristics of gp210 antibody positive PBC patients.

Clinical features of children with post-primary tuberculosis / 中华儿科杂志

Objective: The aim of this study was to summarize the clinical and imaging characteristics of post-primary tuberculosis in children, so as to improve the early identification and diagnosis of post-primary tuberculosis. Methods: This was a retrospective study which enrolled children who were admitted to the Department No.2 of Respiratory Medicine, Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University between January 2015 to December 2020 and with a diagnosis of post-primary tuberculosis. Results: A total of 30 patients were enrolled, including 10 males and 20 females. The age on admission were 13.0 (12.0, 13.3) years. Their common symptoms were cough and fever, there were 26 cases (87%) with cough and 23 cases (77%) with fever, but only 4 cases (13%) had other toxic symptoms (night sweat, weakness or weight loss) of tuberculosis other than fever. Blood examination showed that the white blood cell count was (10±3)×109/L, accompanied by elevated proportion of neutrophils (0.69±0.11) and increased level of C-reactive protein (31 (15,81) mg/L). The common radiographic findings of CT were nodular or mass shadow with cavitation (19 cases (63%)), consolidation (13 cases (43%)), bronchogenic spread (12 cases (40%)), hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy (5 cases (17%)) in this cohort. The affected locations included the right upper lobe (21 cases (70%)), the left lower lobe (17 cases (57%)) and the right lower lobe (15 cases (50%)). Acid-fast bacillus smears and mycobacterial cultures were attempted for all cases, resulting in 33% (10/30) with smear positivity and 50% (15/30) with culture positivity. Conclusions: Post-primary tuberculosis in children has no specific clinical manifestations. Imaging of chest CT is mainly manifested as nodular shadow with cavitation, consolidation or bronchogenic spread. Accurate identification of post-primary tuberculosis is crucial for preventing the spread and early treatment of tuberculosis.

Analysis on epidemiological characteristics of dengue fever and E gene evolution of dengue virus in Guangzhou, 2020 / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective: To assess the incidence of dengue fever and E gene evolution of dengue virus in Guangzhou in 2020 and understand the local epidemiological characteristics of dengue fever and spreading of dengue virus. Methods: The information of dengue fever cases in Guangzhou in 2020 was collected from Notifiable Infectious Disease System of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Information System. Serum samples from the cases were detected by real-time PCR. The E gene was sequenced and analyzed. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees were constructed using software MEGA 5.05. The statistical analysis was conducted using software SPSS 20.0. Results: A total of 33 dengue fever cases were reported in Guangzhou in 2020, including 31 (93.94%) imported cases and 2 (6.06%) local cases. Compared with the data during 2016 to 2019, the number of cases, overall incidence and local incidence all decreased with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The imported cases from Southeast Asia constituted 90.32% (28/31) of imported cases. The E gene sequences and the phylogenetic trees of imported and local cases demonstrated close relationship with the virus sequences from Southeast Asian, and they were less homologous with the sequences of dengue virus isolated in Guangzhou in previous years. Conclusions: The incidence of dengue in Guangzhou in 2020 was significantly affected by the imported cases, especially those from Southeast Asian countries. The study result demonstrated that dengue fever was not endemic in Guangzhou and it was caused by imported ones.

Objective:To study a deep learning-based dual-modality fundus camera which was used to study retinal blood oxygen saturation and vascular morphology changes in eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).Methods:A prospective study. From May to October 2020, 31 patients (31 eyes) of BRVO (BRVO group) and 20 healthy volunteers (20 eyes) with matched gender and age (control group) were included in the study. Among 31 patients (31 eyes) in BRVO group, 20 patients (20 eyes) received one intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs before, and 11 patients (11 eyes) did not receive any treatment. They were divided into treatment group and untreated group accordingly. Retinal images were collected with a dual-modality fundus camera; arterial and vein segments were segmented in the macular region of interest (MROI) using deep learning; the optical density ratio was used to calculate retinal blood oxygen saturation (SO 2) on the affected and non-involved sides of the eyes in the control group and patients in the BRVO group, and calculated the diameter, curvature, fractal dimension and density of arteriovenous in MROI. Quantitative data were compared between groups using one-way analysis of variance. Results:There was a statistically significant difference in arterial SO 2 (SO 2 -A) in the MROI between the affected eyes, the fellow eyes in the BRVO group and the control group ( F=4.925, P<0.001), but there was no difference in the venous SO 2 (SO 2-V) ( F=0.607, P=0.178). Compared with the control group, the SO 2-A in the MROI of the affected side and the non-involved side of the untreated group was increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=4.925, P=0.012); there was no significant difference in SO 2-V ( F=0.607, P=0.550). There was no significant difference in SO 2-A and SO 2-V in the MROI between the affected side, the non-involved side in the treatment group and the control group ( F=0.159, 1.701; P=0.854, 0.197). There was no significant difference in SO 2-A and SO 2-V in MROI between the affected side of the treatment group, the untreated group and the control group ( F=2.553, 0.265; P=0.088, 0.546). The ophthalmic artery diameter, arterial curvature, arterial fractal dimension, vein fractal dimension, arterial density, and vein density were compared in the untreated group, the treatment group, and the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=3.527, 3.322, 7.251, 26.128, 4.782, 5.612; P=0.047, 0.044, 0.002, <0.001, 0.013, 0.006); there was no significant difference in vein diameter and vein curvature ( F=2.132, 1.199; P=0.143, 0.321). Conclusion:Arterial SO 2 in BRVO patients is higher than that in healthy eyes, it decreases after anti-anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs treatment, SO 2-V is unchanged.

Effect of acute hypoxemia on central venous pressure in patients with respiratory failure / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To examine the influence of acute hypoxemia on central venous pressure (CVP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in critical patients assisted by mechanical ventilation.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of critical patients assisted by mechanical ventilation in Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Ⅲ (MIMIC-Ⅲ) database. Influence of acute hypoxemia on CVP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were evaluated. Hypoxemia was defined according to oxygenation index (OI) (OI≤100 as severe, 100<OI≤200 as moderate). Two cutoff values were set at OI=100 and OI=200. The primary outcomes were the difference between mean CVP, mean DBP 6 hours after the onset of hypoxemia and 6 hours before the event.Results:Among all critical patients assisted by mechanical ventilation, 508 patients met criteria of severe hypoxemia, and 1 117 patients met criteria of moderate hypoxemia. After adjusting positive expiratory end pressure (PEEP) and heart rate by multiple linear regression, CVP in patients with moderate and severe hypoxia increased significantly during the observation window of acute hypoxemia ( P=0.04, 0.02), but DBP did not change significantly ( P=0.29, 0.31). Conclusions:Acute hypoxemia could increase CVP and probably pulmonary circulation resistance in respiratory failure patients.

Clinical characteristics of lung cancer associated acute ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation associated acute ischemic stroke / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of lung cancer associated acute ischemic stroke (LCA-AIS) and atrial fibrillation associated acute ischemic stroke (AFA-AIS).Methods:From January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018, 46 patients diagnosed with LCA-AIS (LCA-AIS group)in Hainan Hospital of Chinese PLA General Hospital were selected, and 46 patients diagnosed with AFA-AIS (AFA-AIS group) were matched according to age and sex.The general situation, laboratory test results and imaging results of the two groups were analyzed.Results:(1) The neurological deficit symptoms in AFA-AIS group were more serious than those in LCA-AIS group; there was significant difference in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and the Modified Rankin Scale (mRs) score between the two groups ( P=0.001, P=0.003). (2)The D-D polymer concentration in LCA-AIS group was significantly higher than that in AFA-AIS group ( P<0.001), but the hemoglobin, erythrocyte count and hematocrit were significantly lower than those in AFA-AIS group (all P<0.001). (3)There was no significant difference in imaging classification and the number of infarct basins between LCA-AIS group and AFA-AIS group ( P>0.05). LCA-AIS patients was more likely to have poly-period acute ischemic lesions ( P=0.015), while AFA-AIS had significantly larger infarct diameter and more likely to be complicated with acute hemorrhagic stroke or bleeding ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of LCA-AIS and AFA-AIS are similar, so it is necessary to distinguish LCA-AIS from AFA-AIS in combination with neurological impairment, laboratory tests and imaging findings to avoid misdiagnosis.

Hyperbilirubinemia induced oxidative stress resulting in glomerular injury in rats / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective:To observe the effect of hyperbilirubinemia on glomerulus of rats, and to explore its dose-response and mechanism.Methods:Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into four groups according to the random number table method, with 6 rats in each group. Hyperbilirubinemia rat model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of bilirubin once every 12 hours for 4 times, at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg in low, medium, and high dose bilirubin group (LB group, MB group, HB group), respectively. The rats in negative control group (NC group) were given the same solvent without bilirubin powder. Urine was collected 24 hours after administration, and total protein (TP) level was detected. Then the rats were sacrificed, the blood was collected by cardiac puncture, and the total bilirubin (TBil) and direct bilirubin (DBil) levels were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. The renal tissue was collected and stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staine, the glomerular morphology was observed under light microscope, and the glomerular injury score was performed. Podocyte morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy after uranium acetate and lead citrate double staining. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by colorimetric method. The expression level of podocyte specific marker Wilms tumor protein-1 (WT-1) was determined by Western blotting.Results:With the increase of bilirubin dose, the contents of 24-hour urine TP, blood TBil, blood DBil and MDA content in kidney tissue were gradually increased, and the SOD activity and WT-1 expression in kidney tissue were gradually decreased. The differences between LB group, MB group, HB group and NC group were statistically significant [24-hour urine TP (mg): 24.85±2.22, 52.57±3.66, 56.84±3.49 vs. 7.50±1.33; blood TBil (μmol/L): 37.75±2.19, 81.37±2.13, 125.13±9.96 vs. 5.53±0.41; blood DBil (μmol/L): 15.50±1.96, 37.88±1.05, 64.53±2.89 vs. 2.38±0.35; kidney MDA (μmol/g): 3.14±0.65, 5.01±0.28, 7.50±1.08 vs. 2.30±0.20; kidney SOD (kU/g): 95.91±10.43, 57.06±15.90, 37.12±11.72 vs. 113.91±12.16; kidney WT-1 protein (WT-1/GAPDH): 0.280±0.006, 0.239±0.006, 0.198±0.001 vs. 0.361±0.005; all P < 0.05]. It was shown under light microscope that uneven thickness of mesangial membrane and basement membrane of the glomerulus, and some of them were accompanied by hyperplasia and widening. The glomerular injury score increased with the increase in bilirubin dose. The differences between LB group, MB group, HB group and NC group were statistically significant (17.50±1.05, 25.00±1.41, 34.00±1.41 vs. 11.67±0.82, all P < 0.05). Transmission electron microscopy showed that with the increase of bilirubin dose, the damage of glomerular podocytes was aggravated. Conclusions:Hyperbilirubinemia induced damage to glomerulus in a dose-dependent manner. In the lethal dose range, the higher the dose, the stronger the damage, which might be related to the oxidative stress promoted by bilirubin and the damage of glomerular podocytes.

Mechanism of rebalanced hemostasis in liver cirrhosis and the timing of blood transfusion and anticoagulation / 临床肝胆病杂志

Reconstructed rebalanced hemostasis exists in patients with liver cirrhosis, while such balance is unstable and can be easily broken by stress factors, which may lead to bleeding or thrombosis. There is a lack of effective strategies to prevent and solve the disrupted balance in clinic due to the complex pathogenesis of rebalanced hemostasis, limited testing methods, and insufficient awareness among clinicians. With reference to the articles in recent years, this article summarizes the mechanism of rebalanced hemostasis in liver cirrhosis and the causes of bleeding and thrombosis and discuss the association between blood transfusion and rebalanced hemostasis and the selection of anticoagulant drugs during thrombosis, in order to provide a theoretical basis and new ideas for solving related issues in clinical practice.

Mechanism of action, clinical research and development, and application prospect of hepatitis B virus core protein allosteric modulators / 临床肝胆病杂志

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the main pathogenic factor for chronic hepatitis, and if it is not treated timely and effectively, it may have the risk of developing into end-stage liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Neither of the two types of antiviral drugs currently used in clinical practice can completely inhibit viral replication or eliminate viral transcriptional template, which means that covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) exists in infected liver cells for a long time, and thus patients with chronic hepatitis B require long-term or even lifelong medication. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop novel anti-HBV drugs. Core protein allosteric modulators (CpAM) are a type of novel anti-HBV drugs and can interfere with HBV nucleocapsid assembly and inhibit the depolymerization of mature nucleocapsid, the formation of cccDNA, and the biogenesis and secretion of HBeAg. CpAM have a great potential in clinical application since they act on various links of viral replication. This article reviews the function of CpAM target protein-core protein, the classification, action targets, and anti-HBV mechanism of CpAM, and the current research status, further development, and application prospect of CpAM.

Childhood blood pressure trajectory and its association with overweight and obesity / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To analyze the childhood blood pressure (BP) trajectory and its relationship with overweight and obesity, to provide evidence regarding prevention and control of childhood elevated BP.@*Methods@#A total of 1 177 children who participated in five surveys of Zigong school based cardiometabolic risks survey. Elevated BP was defined by using National BP reference for Chinese children. Groupbased trajectory model was used to identify distinct BP trajectories. Logistic models were conducted to investigate the association of number of overweight/obesity across surveys with BP trajectory.@*Results@#In the five consecutive waves, the corresponding prevalence of elevated BP was 1.9%, 6.6%, 7.0%, 12.5% and 11.2%. Childhood BP trajectory were classified into constant low and high increasing risk of elevated BP groups. The risk of elevated BP increased at a steady rate with age in constant low risk of elevated BP groups, while the risk of elevated BP increased dramatically with age in high increasing risk of elevated BP groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that those with increasing number of occurrence of overweight/obesity tended to be classified into high increasing risk of elevated BP group( OR=1.34, 95%CI=1.17-1.53, P <0.01).@*Conclusion@#Blood pressure trajectory during childhood varies. The risk of elevated BP increased dramatically with age in overweight and obese children. Attention should be paid to the BP trajectory of overweight and obese children to prevent elevated BP.

Is pre-oxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygen safe? randomized control trial of 56 cases of elderly patients during induction of general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the safety of preoxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygenation in elderly patients during induction of general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation.@*METHODS@#Fifty-six elderly patients without difficult airway were randomized equally into high-flow nasal oxygen group (HF group) and conventional mask oxygen group (M group). Preoxygenation was performed for 5 min before induction of general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. Oxygenation was maintained during laryngoscopy in HF group, and ventilation lasted until laryngoscopy in M group. For all the patients, the general data, cross-sectional area (CSA) of the gastric antrum measured by ultrasonography, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and arterial oxygen saturation (cSO2) were recorded before preoxygenation (T1), at 5 min of preoxygenation (T2) and immediately after intubation (T3). The safety time of asphyxia, intubation time, times of mask ventilation and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#The general data were comparable between the two groups. After 5 min of preoxygenation, PaO2 and cSO2 were significantly increased in both groups, and PaO2 was significantly higher in HF group than in M group (F=118.108 vs 9.511, P < 0.05). Both PaO2 and cSO2 decreased after intubation, but PaO2 decreased more slowly in HF group and still remained higher than that at T1; cSO2 decreased significantly in M group to a lower level than that at T1. Compared with those in M group, the patients in HF group showed a significantly longer safety time of asphyxia (t=5.305, P < 0.05) with fewer times of mask ventilation (χ2= 6.720, P < 0.05). PaCO2 increased after intubation in both groups but was comparable between the two groups (F=3.138, P > 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#High-flow nasal oxygen is safe, simple and effective for pre-oxygenation, which, as compared with the conventional oxygen mask, improves arterial oxygen partial pressure and prolongs the safety time of asphyxia to ensure the safety of airway management during induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients with endotracheal intubation.
