Preoperative blood markers and intra-abdominal infection after colorectal cancer resection

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer(CRC)has one of the highest morbidity and mortality rates among digestive tract tumors.Intra-abdominal infection(IAI)is a common postoperative complication that affects the clinical outcomes of patients with CRC and hinders their rehabilitation process.However,the factors influencing abdominal infection after CRC surgery remain unclear;further,prediction models are rarely used to analyze preoperative laboratory indicators and postoperative complications.AIM To explore the predictive value of preoperative blood markers for IAI after radical resection of CRC.METHODS The data of 80 patients who underwent radical resection of CRC in the Anorectal Surgery Department of Suzhou Hospital affiliated with Anhui Medical University were analyzed.These patients were categorized into IAI(n=15)and non-IAI groups(n=65)based on whether IAI occurred.Influencing factors were compared;general data and laboratory indices of both groups were identified.The relationship between the indicators was assessed.Further,a nomogram prediction model was developed and evaluated;its utility and clinical applic-ability were assessed.RESULTS The risk factors for IAI after radical resection of CRC were neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),systemic immune-inflammation index(SII),and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)levels.NLR was correlated with PLR and SII(r=0.604,0.925,and 0.305,respectively),while PLR was correlated with SII(r=0.787).The nomogram prediction model demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.968[95%confidence interval(CI):0.948-0.988]in the training set(n=60)and 0.926(95%CI:0.906-0.980)in the validation set(n=20).The average absolute errors of the calibration curves for the training and validation sets were 0.032 and 0.048,respectively,indicating a good model fit.The decision curve analysis curves demonstrated high net income above the 5%threshold,indicating the clinical practicality of the model.CONCLUSION The nomogram model constructed using NLR,PLR,SII,and CEA levels had good accuracy and reliability in predicting IAI after radical resection of CRC,potentially aiding clinical treatment decision-making.

Severe acute pancreatitis complicated with intra-abdominal infection secondary to trauma:A case report

BACKGROUND Pancreatic trauma(PT)is rare among traumatic injuries and has a low incidence,but it can still lead to severe infectious complications,resulting in a high mortality rate.Acute pancreatitis(AP)is a common complication after PT,and when combined with organ dysfunction and sepsis,it will result in a poorer prognosis.CASE SUMMARY We report a 25-year-old patient with multiple organ injuries,including the pancreas,due to abdominal trauma,who developed necrotising pancreatitis secondary to emergency caesarean section,combined with intra-abdominal infection(IAI).The patient underwent performed percutaneous drainage,pancreatic necrotic tissue debridement,and abdominal infection foci debridement on the patient.CONCLUSION We report a case of severe AP and IAI secondary to trauma.This patient was managed by a combination of conservative treatment such as antibiotic therapy and fluid support with surgery,and a better outcome was obtained.

Causative Microorganisms Isolated from Patients with Intra-Abdominal Infections and Their Drug Resistance Profiles:An 11-Year(2011–2021)Single-Center Retrospective Study

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of causative microorganisms recovered from patients with intra-abdominal infections(IAIs).Methods A total of 2,926 bacterial and fungal strains were identified in samples collected from 1,679 patients with IAIs at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 2011 and 2021.Pathogenic bacteria and fungi were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing(AST)was performed using the VITEK 2 compact system and the Kirby–Bauer method.AST results were interpreted based on the M100-Ed31 clinical breakpoints of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.Results Of the 2,926 strains identified,49.2%,40.8%,and 9.5%were gram-negative bacteria,gram-positive bacteria,and fungi,respectively.Escherichia coli was the most prevalent pathogen in intensive care unit(ICU)and non-ICU patients;however,a significant decrease was observed in the isolation of E.coli between 2011 and 2021.Specifically,significant decreases were observed between 2011 and 2021 in the levels of extended-spectrumβ-lactamase(ESBL)-producing E.coli(from 76.9%to 14.3%)and Klebsiella pneumoniae(from 45.8%to 4.8%).Polymicrobial infections,particularly those involving co-infection with gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria,were commonly observed in IAI patients.Moreover,Candida albicans was more commonly isolated from hospital-associated IAI samples,while Staphylococcus epidermidis had a higher ratio in community-associated IAIs.Additionally,AST results revealed that most antimicrobial agents performed better in non-ESBL-producers than in ESBL-producers,while the overall resistance rates(56.9%–76.8%)of Acinetobacter baumanmii were higher against all antimicrobial agents than those of other common gram-negative bacteria.Indeed,Enterococcus faecium,Enterococcus faecalis,S.epidermidis,and S.aureus were consistently found to be susceptible to vancomycin,teicoplanin,and linezolid.Similarly,C.albicans exhibited high susceptibility to all the tested antifungal drugs.Conclusion The distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of the causative microorganisms from patients with IAls were altered between 2011 and 2021.This finding is valuable for the implementation of evidence-based antimicrobial therapy and provides guidance for the control of hospital infections.

Lymphovenous anastomosis and complex decongestive therapy for severe deformed lymphedema with recurrent infection:A case report

BACKGROUND Lower extremity lymphedema is a common complication following treatment for gynecological malignancies.Its incidence rate can reach up to 70%,affecting~20 million people worldwide.However,specialized treatment centers are scarce,and there is a lack of consensus on treatment approaches.Furthermore,there are even fewer reports on the systematic and effective treatment of severe lymphedema with malformations.Effective management of this condition remains a significant challenge for clinicians.CASE SUMMARY A 40-year-old woman developed bilateral leg swelling 6 years after receiving treatment for endometrial cancer.Since August 2018,she experienced>30 episodes of lymphangitis.Upon presentation,she exhibited bilateral leg swelling and deformation,with four large swellings in the posterior thigh that impeded movement,and pain in the limbs.Skin manifestations included lichenoid lesions and features of deep sclerosis.Radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy confirmed the diagnosis of lower limb lymphedema.After 6 mo of complex decongestive therapy(CDT)and three lymphaticovenous anastomosis(LVA)treatments,the patient lost 49 kg in weight.She also experienced a maximum circumference reduction of 35.2 cm in the left lower limb and 37.5 cm in the right lower limb.The leg pain disappeared,her swelling significantly decreased,and she regained the ability to walk,cycle,and run normally.CONCLUSION The combined application of CDT and LVA therapy demonstrates significant positive effects in the treatment of severe,deformed stage III lymphedema.

Timing of surgical operation for patients with intra-abdominal infection:A systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND Intra-abdominal infections(IAIs)is the most common type of surgical infection,with high associated morbidity and mortality rates.In recent years,due to the use of antibiotics,various drug-resistant bacteria have emerged,making the treatment of abdominal infections more challenging.Early surgical exploration can reduce the mortality of patients with abdominal infection and the occurrence of complications.However,available evidence regarding the optimal timing of IAI surgery is still weak.In study,we compared the effects of operation time on patients with abdominal cavity infection and tried to confirm the best timing of surgery.AIM To assess the efficacy of early vs delayed surgical exploration in the treatment of IAI,in terms of overall mortality.METHODS A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed,EMBASE,Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials,Ovid,and ScienceDirect.The systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses method.Based on the timing of the surgical operation,we divided the literature into two groups:Early surgery and delayed surgery.For the early and delayed surgery groups,the intervention was performed with and after 12 h of the initial surgical intervention,respectively.The main outcome measure was the mortality rate.The literature search was performed from May 5 to 20,2021.We also searched the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform search portal and ClinicalTrials.gov on May 20,2021,for ongoing trials.This study was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews.RESULTS We identified nine eligible trial comparisons.Early surgical exploration of patients with IAIs(performed within 12 h)has significantly reduced the mortality and complications of patients,improved the survival rate,and shortened the hospital stay.CONCLUSION Early surgical exploration within 12 h may be more effective for the treatment of IAIs relative to a delayed operation.

Antimicrobial management of intra-abdominal infections:Literature's guidelines

Antimicrobial management of severe intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) involves a delicate balance of optimizing empirical therapy,which has been shown to improve clinical outcomes,while simultaneously reducing unnecessary antimicrobial use.Two sets of guidelines for the management of intra-abdominal infections were recently published.In 2010,the Surgical Infection Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (SIS-IDSA) created guidelines for the diagnosis and management of complicated IAIs.The new SIS-IDSA guidelines replace those previously published in 2002 and 2003.The World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) guidelines represent additional contributions,made by specialists worldwide,to the debate regarding proper antimicrobial drug methodology.These guidelines represent the conclusions of the consensus conference held in Bologna,Italy,in July 2010 during the first congress of the WSES.

Clinical and Microbiological Characteristics of Patients with Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections in Intensive Care Unit

In order to investigate the clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections(cIAIs)in intensive care unit(ICU),the clinical data of 612 cIAIs patients from January 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively collected.Clinical characteristics,distribution of pathogens and drug resistance were statistically analyzed.It was found that patients with community-acquired intra-abdominal infections(CA-IAIs)made up a majority of cIAIs patients.The positive rate of abdominal drainage fluid culture was 55.56%.Gramnegative bacteria accounted for the majority,the most commonly isolated bacteria of which were Escherichia coli(20.96%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(10.20%)and Pseudomonas aeruginosa(5.57%).The most commonly isolated gram-positive bacteria were Enterococcus(16.88%)and Methicillinresistant staphylococcus aureus(MRSA,3.90%).Enterobacter isolates showed high resistance rate to most cephalosporins and low resistance rate to piperacillin/tazobactam and carbapenems.Extended spectrum beta-lactamase(ESBL)screen positive isolates from CA-IAIs patients showed an increasing trend in past three years.Enterococcus and MRSA showed high resistance rate to clindamycin,quinolone,erythromycin and tetracycline,while they showed high sensitivity rate to linezolid,tegacycline,teicoplanin and vancomycin.Our results indicate that isolated bacteria from abdominal drainage fluid show high resistance rates to commonly used antibiotics in ICU patients with cIAIs.The curative effects on diseases should be monitored continuously when antibiotics are used.Meanwhile,we should always keep eyes on drug-resistant bacteria,especially when the treatment efficacy is not good.

Tigecycline Use in Surgical Intensive Care Unit for the Treatment of Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections: A Real-World Study

OBJECTIVES: To describe real-world use of tigecycline in cIAIs patients. METHODS: A retrospective, observational study enrolled cIAIs patients hospitalized in The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2017 was conducted. Patients’ data were collected and matched based on age, gender, and Acute Physiologic Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score according to receiving first-line, later-line, or no tigecycline during hospitalization. RESULTS: Data were collected for 52 patients. 82.6% were male. Mean age was 57.8 years and APACHE II score was 14.8. The incidence of both extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing and carbapenem-resistant pathogens was high on initial culture;however, few patients received first-line tigecycline. No significant difference in mortality rate was identified among first-line, later-line and no tigecycline users. Of surviving patients, shorter hospital length of stay was observed for patients receiving first- vs later-line or no tigecycline, respectively. ICU length-of-stay was shorter in patients receiving first- vs later-line or no tigecycline. CONCLUSIONS: First-line tigecycline use was rare in our surgical intensive care unit. Resistant organisms were commonly cultured from initial specimens. Although these results are limited by small patient numbers and single center, our results suggest that early tigecycline use may have significant benefits with similar mortality. Further research is warranted to demonstrate the values of early tigecycline use in cIAIs patients.

Poor oncologic outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with intra-abdominal infection after hepatectomy

AIM: To evaluate the impact of postoperative infectious complications on hepatocellular carcinoma following curative hepatectomy.METHODS:We performed a retrospective analysis of200 hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent hepatectomy at our institution between September2003 and June 2011.The patients’demographics,clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative infectious complications were analyzed.The ClavienDindo classification was adopted to assess the severity of complications.The dynamic change in the neutrophilto-lymphocyte ratio,defined as the absolute neutrophil count divided by the absolute lymphocyte count,after surgery was also investigated.The observation endpoints for this study were recurrence-free survival and overall survival of the patients.Statistical analysis of the survival curves was performed using the KaplanMeier method and the log-rank test.The prognosticvalue of each variable for predicting prognosis was assessed via multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.The cutoff score for each variable was selected based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.All statistical tests were two-sided,and significance was set at P<0.05.RESULTS:The median age of the patients was 49years,and the majority of patients were male(86%)and had been infected with hepatitis B virus(86%).The 30-d postoperative infectious complication rate was34.0%(n=68).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that postoperative infection was significantly correlated with tumor recurrence(P<0.001).The postoperative intra-abdominal infection group exhibited a worse prognosis than the non-intra-abdominal infection group(P<0.001).A significantly increased incidence of postoperative intra-abdominal infection was observed in the patients with hepatic cirrhosis(P=0.028),concomitant splenectomy(P=0.007)or vascular invasion(P=0.026).The patients who had an elevated postoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio change(>1.643)clearly exhibited poorer recurrence-free survival than those who did not(P=0.009),although no significant correlation was observed between overall survival and the change in the postoperative neutrophilto-lymphocyte ratio.Based on multivariate analysis,hepatitis B surface antigen positivity,Child-TurcottePugh class B,an elevated postoperative neutrophilto-lymphocyte ratio change and intra-abdominal infection were significant predictors of poor recurrencefree survival.Hepatic cirrhosis,the maximal tumor diameter and intra-abdominal infection were significant predictors of overall survival.CONCLUSION:Postoperative intra-abdominal infection adversely affected oncologic outcomes,and the change in postoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was a good indicator of tumor recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma patients after curative hepatectomy.

Risk factors of intra-abdominal bacterial infection after liver transplantation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Objective： To explore the risk factors of intra-abdominal bacterial infection （IAI） after liver transplantation （LT） in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. Methods： A series of 82 HCC patients who received LT surgeries in our department between March 2004 and April 2010 was recruited in this study. Then we collected and analyzed the clinical data retrospectively. Statistical analysis system （SPSS） software was adopted to perform statistical analysis. Chi-square test, t-test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to analyze the clinical data and compute the significance of the incidences of early-stage IAI after LT for HCC patients. Binary logistic regression was performed to screen out the risk factors, and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to compute the independent risk factors. Results： A series of 13 patients （13/82, 15.9%） had postoperative IAI. The independent risk factors of postoperative intra-abdominal bacterial infections after LT for HCC patients were preoperative anemia [Hemoglobin （HGB） 〈90 g/L] and postoperative abdominal hemorrhage （72 hours 〉400 mL）, with the odds ratios at 8.121 （95% CI, 1.417 to 46.550, P=0.019） and 5.911 （95% CI, 1.112 to 31.432, P=0.037）. Conclusions： Postoperative IAI after LT in patients with HCC was a common complication. Preoperative moderate to severe anemia, as well as postoperative intra-abdominal hemorrhage more than 400 mL within the first 72 hours might independently indicate high risk of IAI for these patients.

Evaluation of preoperative blood markers for predicting intraabdominal infection during colorectal cancer resection:A commentary on recent findings

This commentary evaluates the study by Liu et al.This study investigates the predictive utility of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio,platelet-lymphocyte ratio,systemic immune-inflammation index,and carcinoembryonic antigen levels for post-operative intra-abdominal infection following colorectal cancer(CRC)surge-ry.The study highlights the critical need for analyzing diverse patient demogra-phics and delves into the potential impact of various confounding factors on the predictive accuracy of these markers.Additionally,the commentary advocates for the initiation of prospective studies aimed at validating and enhancing the clinical utility of these biomarkers in the context of CRC treatment.The commentary aims to underscore the importance of broadening the research framework to include a wider patient demographic and more comprehensive factor analyses,thereby enriching the predictive model's applicability and relevance in clinical settings.

CHANGES OF PLASMA AMINO ACID IN TPN SUPPORTED PATIENTS WITH INTRA-ABDOMINAL INFECTION

The changes of plasma aminogram were observed prospectively on 95 cases of enteric fistula associated with intra-abdominal infection under the supplement of TPN(total parenteral nutrition) with a conventional balanced nutritional amino acid solution Anfumine 14s (8.5% Tianjin, China). Plasma levels of amino acid and albumin were determined on the day of initiation of TPN and weekly through the Course of nutritional support and the day of termination of TPN or 2-5 days within death. Initial plasma aminograms obtained on the day before the TPN support were of characterics of aminogram of both sepsis and starvation. The initial total amount of plasma free amino acid was lower than normal and gradually elevated to normal range after two weeks TPN supplement in survivors. While in nonsurvivors, the total free amino acid was increased rapidly and reached the peak value at preterminal stage, significantly higher than the normal range. The level of phenylalanine was constantly high through the course of investigation, either in survivors or nonsurvivors. Proline also elevated proportional to the severity of infection, but to a lesser degree In contrast, the plasma ratio of BCAA/AAA (branched-chain amino acids /aromatic amino acids) was lower than normal and the level of arginine was decreased proportional to the severity of infectionAuthors considered that (1) the amino acid solution specific for starved septic patients should contain lower content of phenylalnine and higher amount of BCAA and arginine as compared with the conventional nutritional amino acid solution; (2) constant elevation of plasma phenylalanine and proline associated with progressive decrease of arginine is one of the meaningful predictive criteria for prognosis of septic patients; (3) inappropriate administration of exogeneous amino acids in metabolic decompensated septic patients might do more harm rather than benefit.

High complex anal fistula managed by the modified transanal opening of the intersphincteric space via the inter-sphincteric approach:A case report

BACKGROUND High complex anal fistulas are epithelialized tunnels,with the main fistula piercing above the deep external sphincter and the internal opening approaching the dentate line.Conventional surgical procedures for high complex anal fistulas remove most of the external sphincter and damage the anorectal ring.Postoperative loss of anal function can cause physical and mental damage.Transanal opening of the intersphincteric space(TROPIS)is an effective procedure that completely preserves the external anal sphincter.However,its clinical application is limited by challenges in the localization of the internal opening of a fistula and the high risk of complications.On the basis of our clinical experience,we modified the TROPIS procedure for the treatment of treating high complex anal fistulas.CASE SUMMARY A patient with a high complex anal fistula located above the anorectal ring underwent modified TROPIS,which involved sepsis drainage and identification of the internal opening in the intersphincteric space.The patient with the high complex anal fistula recovered well postoperatively,without any postoperative complications or anal dysfunction.Anal function returned to normal after 17 months of follow-up.CONCLUSION The modified TROPIS procedure is the most minimally invasive surgery for anal fistulas that minimally impairs anal function.It allows the complete removal of infected anal glands and reduces the risk of postoperative complications.Modified TROPIS via the intersphincteric approach is an alternative sphincter-preserving treatment for high complex anal fistulas.

Distribution Characteristics of Drug Susceptibility Test Results of Tuberculosis and Non-Tuberculous Bacilli in Patients with Opportunistic Infections of AIDS

Objective: To understand the distribution of drug susceptibility test results of opportunistic infections of tuberculosis and non-tuberculous bacilli in AIDS patients. Methods: The AIDS patients who were hospitalized in our hospital from January 2016 to June 2019 were collected as the research objects, and patients with opportunistic tuberculosis and non-tuberculous bacilli from AIDS patients were screened for drug susceptibility tests, and the distribution characteristics of drug susceptibility were analyzed. Results: 179 strains of tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria were isolated from the specimens of AIDS patients, including 135 cases of tuberculosis mycobacteria and 44 cases of non-tuberculous mycobacteria. In the results of the drug susceptibility test, most strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis showed sensitivity to commonly used drugs, and a few strains showed resistance;most strains of non-tuberculous mycobacteria showed resistance, and a few strains showed sensitivity. Conclusion: AIDS opportunistic infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria have significant differences in drug sensitivity test results. Timely detection and analysis are of great significance to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Study on Distribution of Acinetobacter baumannii Complex in Dental Hospital Using Multiplex PCR

Purpose: In recent years, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has appeared and caused outbreaks of hospital infections all over the world. Close monitoring of this pathogen and other A. baumanii complex species is considered of critical importance to public health organizations. The reliable identification method able to distinguish A. baumannii from genetically close Acinetobacter species is needed, because these species are unable to be differentiated by phenotypic or biochemical methods. The purpose of the present study was to design species-specific primers in order to identify and detect A. baumanii complex species, and Acinetobacter lwoffii which is frequently detected from the human specimens, and to investigate the distribution of these organisms in dental hospital using a multiplex PCR. Methods: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers were designed based on partial sequences of the 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene and DNA gyrase subunit B (gyrB) of each species of A. baumanii complex species. Swab samples were collected from ten dental spittoon units in dental hospital, and the distribution of A. baumanii complex species was investigated using a multiplex PCR. Results: These primers were able to distinguish each species of A. baumanii complex species clearly. A. baumanii and A. calcoaceticus were detected at 20.0% and 10.0% in ten swab samples, respectively. On the other hand, A. nosocomialis, A. lowffii, and A. pittii were detected from no sample. Conclusion: Our developed one-step multiplex PCR method is accurate, specific, cost-effective, time-saving, and worked without requiring DNA extraction.

基于邻域K-shell分布的关键节点识别方法

复杂网络中关键节点的精准识别对于网络结构稳定和信息传播起着至关重要的作用。传统K-shell方法仅通过节点在网络中所处位置对节点的重要性进行评估,导致区分度不高。基于此,综合考虑了节点的全局信息和局部信息对节点重要性的影响,提出一种基于邻域K-shell分布的关键节点识别方法。该方法通过节点邻域Ks值定义节点的熵,从而反映邻居节点的K-shell分布特征。通过11个网络数据集上的仿真实验,验证了所提方法能够更准确地识别并区分复杂网络中的关键节点。

复杂网络下船舶碰撞风险传播演化分析

为提高海运业的安全水平,针对船舶碰撞风险事件链中的风险传播演化过程,利用事件树分析法(ETA),构造有向赋权复杂网络(CN),分析网络的拓扑结构;改进传统K-壳分解算法的适应性,提出网络节点绝对重要度计算方法;利用易感-感染-恢复(SIR)模型动态模拟风险在CN中的传播演化过程,研究在不同感染率与恢复率组合的情况下,复杂网络中目标节点的动态敏感性。结果表明:大约25%的风险事件在CN中相对不活跃,绝对重要度排前10%的风险事件均与事故直接原因无关;风险事件的敏感度与重要度并不完全保持一致,部分风险事件,即使不采用针对性措施,也难以触发严重后果或碰撞事故;船舶碰撞风险管控工作应认可直接致因的客观存在,重点关注碰撞风险的传播演化过程,在碰撞风险实施管控的过程中应采用差异化管控策略。
