The modified systemic inflammation score is a predictor of ICU admission of COVID-19 patients

Objective:To evaluate the effect of the modified systemic inflammation score(mSIS)on prognosis in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.Methods:In this retrospective cross-sectional study,181 patients were selected and divided into two groups:patients with and without admission to the intensive care unit(ICU).An albumin level of≥4.0 g/dL and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio(LMR)of≥3.4 was scored 0,an albumin level of<4.0 g/dL or LMR of<3.4 was scored 1,and an albumin level of<4.0 g/dL and LMR of<3.4 was scored 2.Results:A total of 242 COVID-19 positive patients were initially included in this study.Of these patients,61 were excluded and 181 patients remained.Among the 181 participants,94(51.9%)were female,and the median age was 61(51,75)years.The mSIS scale ranged from 0 to 2.After analysis,the median score was 0(0,0)in the non-ICU group and 2(0,2)in the ICU group(P<0.001).The median white blood cell,lymphocyte counts,and albumin levels were lower in the ICU group(P<0.001,P<0.001,and P<0.001,respectively).In logistic regression analysis lymphocytopenia(OR=5.158,95%CI=1.249-21.304,P=0.023),hypoalbuminemia(OR=49.921,95%CI=1.843-1352.114,P=0.020),AST elevation(OR=3.939,95%CI=1.017-15.261,P=0.047),and mSIS=2(OR=5.853,95%CI=1.338-25.604,P=0.019)were identified as independent predictors of ICU admission.Conclusion:The mSIS can be used as an independent parameter for establishing the intensive care needs of patients with COVID-19.

Poor performance of the modified early warning score for predicting mortality in critically ill patients presenting to an emergency department

BACKGROUND:This study was undertaken to validate the use of the modified early warning score(MEWS) as a predictor of patient mortality and intensive care unit(ICU)/ high dependency(HD)admission in an Asian population.METHODS:The MEWS was applied to a retrospective cohort of 1 024 critically ill patients presenting to a large Asian tertiary emergency department(ED) between November 2006 and December2007.Individual MEWS was calculated based on vital signs parameters on arrival at ED.Outcomes of mortality and ICU/HD admission were obtained from hospital records.The ability of the composite MEWS and its individual components to predict mortality within 30 days from ED visit was assessed.Sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive values were derived and compared with values from other cohorts.A MEWS of ≥4 was chosen as the cut-off value for poor prognosis based on previous studies.RESULTS:A total of 311(30.4%) critically ill patients were presented with a MEWS ≥4.Their mean age was 61.4 years(SD 18.1) with a male to female ratio of 1.10.Of the 311 patients,53(17%)died within 30 days,64(20.6%) were admitted to ICU and 86(27.7%) were admitted to HD.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.71 with a sensitivity of 53.0%and a specificity of 72.1%in addition to a positive predictive value(PPV) of 17.0%and a negative predictive value(NPV)of 93.4%(MEWS cut-off of ≥4) for predicting mortality.CONCLUSION:The composite MEWS did not perform well in predicting poor patient outcomes for critically ill patients presenting to an ED.

Selection of treatment modality for hepatocellular carcinoma according to the modified Japan Integrated Staging score

AIM: To compare the prognosis of patients who underwent hepatectomy and ablation using the modified Japan Integrated Staging score (mJIS).METHODS: We examined the clinicopathologic records and patient outcomes in 278 HCC patients including 226 undergoing hepatectomy and 52 undergoing ablation therapy.RESULTS: Cirrhosis was more frequent in the ablation group. Tumor size, number and presence of vascular invasion were significantly higher in the operation group compared to the ablation group. The local recurrence rate adjacent to treated lesions was significantly higher in the ablation group compared to the operation group (P < 0.05). The 3- and 5-year survival rates in the ablation and the operation group were 66% and 78%, and 50% and 63%, respectively, but not significantly different. Over 50% survival rates were observed in patients with a mJIS score of 0-2 in both groups. However, survival rates with a score of 3-5 in both groups were significantly lower.CONCLUSION: According to the mJIS system, both local treatments could be selected for patients with a score of 0-2. However, for patients with a score more than 3, liver transplantation might be a better option in patients with HCC.

Comparison of transvaginal cervical length and modified Bishop's score as predictors for labor induction in nulliparous women

Objective: To compare the transvaginal cervical length (TVCL) to the modified Bishop's score for prediction of successful labor induction in nulliparous women. Methods: A total of 210 nulliparous women who were diagnosed as premature rupture of membranes were recruited in this comparative prospective study, which was carried out in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Ain Shams University, Egypt over two years for labor induction. The studied women were examined by trans-vaginal ultrasound for measurement of the cervical length (CL) and vaginally to calculate the modified Bishop's score, followed by induction of labor. Collected data were analyzed to compare the TVCL to the modified Bishop's score for prediction of successful labor induction in nulliparous women. The success of induction process was defined as vaginal birth after the induction of labor. Results: One hundred and forty-three women of studied women had CL <28 mm;122 of them delivered vaginally (P=0.030). One hundred and forty-six women of studied women had modified Bishop's score >4;128 of them delivered vaginally (P=0.006). The CL <28 mm was significantly more specific with more positive predictive value as predictor of successful labor induction compared to modified Bishop's score. Induction to delivery time was significantly shorter in women with CL <28 mm than women with CL ≥28 mm (P=0.02;95% confidence interval: 4.9-8.4). In addition, induction to delivery time was significantly shorter in women with Bishop's score >4 than women with Bishop's score of 曑4 (P=0.01;95% confidence interval: 1.6-4.5). Conclusions: Both TVCL and the modified Bishop's score are complementary tools in pre-induction cervical assessment before induction of labor, while the TVCL at <28 mm is significantly more specific with more positive predictive value as predictor of successful induction than the modified Bishop's score.

Modified Xiaochaihu Decoction for gastroesophageal reflux disease:A randomized double-simulation controlled trial

BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)has a high prevalence worldwide,and its incidence is increasing annually.Modified Xiaochaihu Decoction(MXD)could relieve the symptoms of GERD,but the effects of MXD on GERD manifestations and relapse prevention need to be further explained.Therefore,we performed a prospective,double-blind,and double-simulation study.AIM To verify the efficacy of MXD for GERD and its effect on esophageal motility.METHODS Using randomization,double-blinding,and a simulation design,288 participants with GERD were randomized to the treatment group and control group and received herbs(MXD)plus omeprazole simulation and omeprazole plus herbs simulation,respectively,for 4 wk.The GERD-Q scale score and esophageal manometry were measured at baseline,after treatment,and at 1 mo and 3 mo follow-up visits when medication was complete to evaluate recurrence indicators.RESULTS The GERD-Q scale score in both groups decreased significantly compared to those before treatment(P<0.01).However,no significant difference was observed between the two groups(P>0.05).Esophageal manometry showed that participants with lower esophageal sphincter pressure reduction and the proportion of ineffective swallowing(more than 50%)improved in both groups from baseline(P<0.01),especially in the treatment group(P<0.05).The percentage of small intermittent contractions,large intermittent contractions,and increased pre-phase contractions in the treatment group significantly improved compared with baseline(P<0.05)but did not improve in the control group(P>0.05).There was no significant difference between the groups after treatment(P>0.05).The percentage of weak esophageal contractility(distal contractile integral<450 mmHg·s·cm),improved in both groups(P<0.01),but no significant difference was observed between the groups after treatment(P>0.05).The relapse rate in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group at the 1 mo(P<0.01)and 3 mo follow-up(P<0.05).CONCLUSION MXD has a similar therapeutic effect to omeprazole in mild-to-moderate GERD.The therapeutic effect may be related to increased pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter and reduced ineffective swallowing.

Statistical Analysis of Thunderstorms on the Eastern Tibetan Plateau Based on Modified Thunderstorm Indices

The Tibetan Plateau, with an average altitude above 4000 m, is the highest and largest plateau in the world. The frequency of thunderstorms in this region is extremely high. Many indices are used in operational forecasting to assess the stability of the atmosphere and predict the probability of severe thunderstorm development. One of the disadvantages of many of these indices is that they are mainly based on observations from plains. However, considering the Plateau＇s high elevation, most convective parameters cannot be applied directly, or their application is ineffective. The pre-convective environment on thunderstorm days in this region is investigated based on sounding data obtained throughout a five-year period（2006–10）.Thunderstorms occur over the Tibetan Plateau under conditions that differ strikingly from those in plains. On this basis,stability indices, such as the Showalter index（including SI and SICCL）, and the K index are improved to better assess the thunderstorm environments on the Plateau. Verification parameters, such as the true-skill statistic（TSS） and Heidke skill score（HSS）, are adopted to evaluate the optimal thresholds and relative forecast skill for each modified index. Lastly, the modified indices are verified with a two-year independent dataset（2011–12）, showing satisfactory results for the modified indices. For determining whether or not a thunderstorm day is likely to occur, we recommend the modified SICCLindex.

Functional and clinical outcome with modified lateral approach total hip arthroplasty in stiff hips with ankylosing spondylitis

BACKGROUND Ankylosing spondylitis at total hip arthroplasty(THA)has significant hip stiffness with flexion deformity,restricted mobility,and function.Range of movement(ROM)improvement with good functional outcome is seen following THA in these hips.The modified Hardinge approach without abductor compromise is helpful in these stiff hips with associated flexion deformity.AIM To assess improvement in ROM and functional outcomes with a modified lateral approach THA in ankylosing spondylitis with stiff hips.METHODS A total of 69 hips that underwent THA with a modified Hardinge approach in 40 patients were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 38.33 mo.All individuals ambulated with weight-bearing as tolerated and ROM exercises from the 1st postoperative day.Modified Harris hip score and ROM were assessed during follow-up.Quality of life assessments using the 36-item and 12-item short form health surveys were done along with clinical and functional outcomes at followup.SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis.The correlation of ROM and functional score change was performed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.RESULTS Sixty-nine hips with a significant decrease in ROM preoperatively with 32 clinically fused hips showed significant improvement in flexion range.The mean flexion in 69 hips improved from 29.35±31.38 degrees to 102.17±10.48 degrees.The mean difference of 72.82 with a P value<0.0001 was significant.In total,45 out of 69 hips had flexion deformity,with 13 hips having a deformity above 30 degrees.The flexion during the follow-up was below 90 degrees in 3 hips.Eleven hips had flexion of 90 degrees at follow-up,while the remaining 55 hips had flexion above 100 degrees.Modified Harris hip score improved from 17.03±6.02 to 90.66±7.23(P value<0.0001).The 36-item short form health survey at the follow-up indicated health status in 40 patients as excellent in 11,very good in 20,good in 5,fair in 3,and poor in 1.The mean mental health score was 84.10±11.58.Pain relief was good in all 69 hips.Altogether,28/40 patients(70%)had no pain,9 patients(22%)had occasional pain,and 3 patients(8%)had mild to moderate pain with unusual activity.Heterotopic ossification was seen in 21 hips with Brooker class 1 in 14 hips.CONCLUSION Modified Hardinge approach THA in ankylosing spondylitis with stiff hips with flexion deformity significantly improved ROM,Harris hip score,and quality of life indicated by the 36-item and 12-item short form health surveys.

Comparing the Surgical Outcomes of Modified Quad and Triangle Tilt Surgeries to other Procedures Performed in Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury

Purpose: To compare results from our surgical treatment experiences in children with obstetric brachial plexus injuries (OBPI), to those who have had other surgical treatments. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in our medical records consisting of two groups of OBPI patients. Group 1: 26 OBPI children (16 girls and 10 boys), age range between 2.0 and 12.0 (mean age 6.9), who have undergone surgical treatments at other institutions between 2005 and 2010. Group 2: 45 OBPI children (20 boys and 25 girls), age between 0.7 and 12.9 (mean age 3.7), who have had modified Quad and triangle tilt surgical treatment between 2005 and 2010 at our institution. In both groups Mean modified Mallet scores and radiological scores were measured and compared. All measurements were made at least one year post surgery in both groups. Results: Post-operative mean modified Mallet score was 11.8 ± 2.4 in group 1 patients, whereas post-mean modified Mallet score was 20 ± 2.7 (P 0.0001) following modified Quad and triangle tilt surgeries in group 2 patients. Further, their radiological scores such as posterior subluxation, and glenoid version were 13.4 ± 21.3 and ﹣30.2 ± 19.1 in group 1, whereas 32.1 ±13.5 (P 0.0004), and ﹣16.3 ± 11.5 (P 0.008) in group 2 patients, when compared to normal values of 50, and 0 respectively. Conclusion: Patients who have had mod Quad and triangle tilt for OBPI obtained significantly better functional outcomes in modified total Mallet score as well as in radiological scores, when compared to those OBPI children, who underwent other procedures such as posterior glenohumeral capsulorrhaphy, biceps tendon lengthening, humeral osteotomy, anterior capsule release, nerve transfer/graft, botox and muscle/tendon transfer and release.

Growth of the Pulmonary Valve Annulus after the Modified Blalock-Taussig Shunt in Patients with Tetralogy of Fallot

Background:The surgical outcomes of tetralogy of Fallot(TOF)have evolved dramatically and have resulted in lower mortality rate.Currently,the many cardiac centers have a trend to early single-stage complete repair more than a staged repair.However,the patients who have an early primary repair were required transannular patch augmentation of a pulmonary valve frequently.This effect has been developed a chronic pulmonary insufficiency may lead to right ventricular dilation,dysfunction.In this era,the aim of treatment of TOF is attempted to preserve pulmonary valve annulus for prevent right ventricular dysfunction in the future.The systemic to pulmonary artery shunt is a palliative procedure or known as staged repair for symptomatic patients with TOF.The modified Blalock-Taussig shunt(mBTS)is the most useful systemic to pulmonary shunt and perform as an initial procedure before complete repair.The mBTS can provide increase pulmonary blood flow as well as improve oxygenation and also promote pulmonary artery(PA)growth.However,the effect of this procedure to promote growth of a pulmonary valve annulus is still debate.Objectives:To compare a growth of pulmonary valve annulus between after staged repair and primary repair in patients with TOF(without pulmonary atresia).Methods:A retrospective case-control study,review of patients with TOF underwent total repair at our hospitals from January 2005 and December 2017 was performed,a total number of 112 patients underwent TOF repair.Twenty-nine patients(26%)underwent a staged repair(mBTS group)and 83(74%)underwent total repair only or primary repair(PR group).We evaluated diameter of pulmonary valve annulus by using echocardiography at the time of first diagnosis and before complete repair on both groups.Results:The age of diagnosis of mBTS group were younger than PR group(p=0.011).Therefore,pulmonary valve annuls were smaller in mBTS group.(Z-score,−2.93±1.42 vs.−1.89±0.97;p=0.001).However,the growth potential of pulmonary valve annulus was increase more than PR group significantly(Z-score,−1.46±1.02 vs.−2.11±1.19;p=0.009)Even though a patent ductus arteriosus was found commonly in PR group(p=0.018).Conclusions:Our results suggest the systemic to pulmonary shunt or mBTS can promote growth of pulmonary valve annulus in patients with TOF.

NLR在急性缺血性脑卒中患者早期神经功能损伤、预后及复发风险评估中的价值

目的探讨中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比值(NLR)在急性缺血性脑卒中(AIS)患者早期神经功能损伤、预后及复发风险评估中的价值。方法选取2022年4月至2023年10月宁波市医疗中心李惠利医院收治的经临床和影像学检查证实为AIS的患者236例为研究对象,根据TOAST分型标准分为大动脉粥样硬化型151例、心源性栓塞型30例、小动脉闭塞型55例。比较不同TOAST分型AIS患者性别、年龄、高血压史、糖尿病史、吸烟史、饮酒史、入院时美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)、改良Rankin量表(mRS)、Essen卒中风险评分量表(ESRS)评分、中性粒细胞绝对值(N)、NLR、红细胞分布宽度(RDW)、超敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)、D-二聚体、同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)、IL-6、IL-10的差异。根据入院时NIHSS、mRS、ESRS评分结果,采用单因素及多因素二元logistic回归分析影响AIS患者神经功能损伤程度、预后状况及复发风险的因素。ROC曲线评估实验室指标判断AIS患者神经功能损伤程度、预后状况及复发风险的效能。采用Spearman秩相关分析AIS患者NLR与NIHSS评分、mRS评分、ESRS评分的相关性。结果不同TOAST分型AIS患者年龄、NIHSS评分、mRS评分、ESRS评分、N、NLR、RDW、hs-CRP、D-二聚体、Hcy、IL-6、IL-10水平比较,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。多因素分析显示,NLR是AIS患者神经功能损伤程度的独立影响因素(P<0.05)。NLR、hs-CRP、D-二聚体是AIS患者神经功能预后状况的独立影响因素(均P<0.05)。NLR、D-二聚体是AIS患者复发风险的独立影响因素(均P<0.05)。NLR判断AIS患者神经功能损伤程度的最佳截断值为2.52,灵敏度为0.734,特异度为0.528,AUC为0.670。NLR联合hs-CRP、D-二聚体判断AIS患者神经功能预后状况的最佳截断值为0.40,灵敏度为0.718,特异度为0.730,AUC为0.781。NLR联合D-二聚体判断AIS患者复发风险的最佳截断值为0.42,灵敏度为0.736,特异度为0.661,AUC为0.736。Spearman秩相关分析显示,NLR与NIHSS评分、mRS评分、ESRS评分均呈正相关(rs=0.291、0.358、0.277,均P<0.001)。结论NLR在AIS患者早期神经功能损伤、预后及复发风险评估中具有一定临床价值,NLR联合hs-CRP、D-二聚体等指标可有效提高AIS患者神经功能预后评估的效能。

改良CT严重指数评分联合血清学指标评估急性胰腺炎患者预后的价值

目的探讨改良CT严重指数评分(MCTSI)联合血清学指标评估急性胰腺炎(AP)患者预后的价值。方法选择2018年1月至2022年1月南通市第一人民医院收治的248例AP患者为研究对象,根据病情将患者分为轻症组(n=152)与中重症组(n=96)。所有患者均接受胰腺增强CT检查、血常规及血钙、血清淀粉酶、血清脂肪酶、降钙素原(PCT)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、IL-17、C-反应蛋白(CRP)水平检测,统计28 d内死亡率,比较病情不同严重程度、不同预后AP患者MCTSI评分及实验室指标水平差异。结果多因素Logistic分析显示,MCTSI及血清淀粉酶、血清脂肪酶、PCT水平是影响AP患者严重程度的独立性危险因素(P<0.05)。发病后28 d内,248例患者中196例存活、52例死亡,总体生存率为79.03%。轻症组、中重症组的生存率分别为91.4%(139/152)、59.4%(57/96),中重症组患者的生存率显著较低(χ2=12.94,P<0.001)。ROC曲线分析显示,MCTSI、PCT、血钙单独预测患者28 d内死亡的AUC分别为0.870、0.785、0.679,敏感性分别为72.6%、68.4%、69.3%,特异性分别为75.9%、69.7%、64.4%。当三者联合检测时,可将AUC提高至0.913。多因素Cox生存分析显示,MCTSI及血清淀粉酶、血清脂肪酶、PCT水平是影响AP患者预后的独立性危险因素。结论MCTSI评分联合血清学指标检测,可提高AP病情严重程度及预后的预测效能。
