Epidemiological and clinical features,treatment status,and economic burden of traumatic spinal cord injury in China:a hospital-based retrospective study

Traumatic spinal cord injury is potentially catastrophic and can lead to permanent disability or even death.China has the largest population of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury.Previous studies of traumatic spinal cord injury in China have mostly been regional in scope;national-level studies have been rare.To the best of our knowledge,no national-level study of treatment status and economic burden has been performed.This retrospective study aimed to examine the epidemiological and clinical features,treatment status,and economic burden of traumatic spinal cord injury in China at the national level.We included 13,465 traumatic spinal cord injury patients who were injured between January 2013 and December 2018 and treated in 30 hospitals in 11 provinces/municipalities representing all geographical divisions of China.Patient epidemiological and clinical features,treatment status,and total and daily costs were recorded.Trends in the percentage of traumatic spinal cord injuries among all hospitalized patients and among patients hospitalized in the orthopedic department and cost of care were assessed by annual percentage change using the Joinpoint Regression Program.The percentage of traumatic spinal cord injuries among all hospitalized patients and among patients hospitalized in the orthopedic department did not significantly change overall(annual percentage change,-0.5%and 2.1%,respectively).A total of 10,053(74.7%)patients underwent surgery.Only 2.8%of patients who underwent surgery did so within 24 hours of injury.A total of 2005(14.9%)patients were treated with high-dose(≥500 mg)methylprednisolone sodium succinate/methylprednisolone(MPSS/MP);615(4.6%)received it within 8 hours.The total cost for acute traumatic spinal cord injury decreased over the study period(-4.7%),while daily cost did not significantly change(1.0%increase).Our findings indicate that public health initiatives should aim at improving hospitals’ability to complete early surgery within 24 hours,which is associated with improved sensorimotor recovery,increasing the awareness rate of clinical guidelines related to high-dose MPSS/MP to reduce the use of the treatment with insufficient evidence.

Clinical characteristics and treatment compounds of obesity-related kidney injury

Disorders in energy homeostasis can lead to various metabolic diseases,particularly obesity.The obesity epidemic has led to an increased incidence of obesityrelated nephropathy(ORN),a distinct entity characterized by proteinuria,glomerulomegaly,progressive glomerulosclerosis,and renal function decline.Obesity and its associated renal damage are common in clinical practice,and their incidence is increasing and attracting great attention.There is a great need to identify safe and effective therapeutic modalities,and therapeutics using chemical compounds and natural products are receiving increasing attention.However,the summary is lacking about the specific effects and mechanisms of action of compounds in the treatment of ORN.In this review,we summarize the important clinical features and compound treatment strategies for obesity and obesityinduced kidney injury.We also summarize the pathologic and clinical features of ORN as well as its pathogenesis and potential therapeutics targeting renal inflammation,oxidative stress,insulin resistance,fibrosis,kidney lipid accumulation,and dysregulated autophagy.In addition,detailed information on natural and synthetic compounds used for the treatment of obesity-related kidney disease is summarized.The synthesis of detailed information aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the clinical treatment modalities for obesity-related kidney diseases,fostering the anticipation of novel insights in this domain.

Liver injury in COVID-19: Clinical features, potential mechanisms, risk factors and clinical treatments

The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic has been a serious threat to global health for nearly 3 years.In addition to pulmonary complications,liver injury is not uncommon in patients with novel COVID-19.Although the prevalence of liver injury varies widely among COVID-19 patients,its incidence is significantly increased in severe cases.Hence,there is an urgent need to understand liver injury caused by COVID-19.Clinical features of liver injury include detectable liver function abnormalities and liver imaging changes.Liver function tests,computed tomography scans,and ultrasound can help evaluate liver injury.Risk factors for liver injury in patients with COVID-19 include male sex,preexisting liver disease including liver transplantation and chronic liver disease,diabetes,obesity,and hypertension.To date,the mechanism of COVID-19-related liver injury is not fully understood.Its pathophysiological basis can generally be explained by systemic inflammatory response,hypoxic damage,ischemia-reperfusion injury,and drug side effects.In this review,we systematically summarize the existing literature on liver injury caused by COVID-19,including clinical features,underlying mechanisms,and potential risk factors.Finally,we discuss clinical management and provide recommendations for the care of patients with liver injury.

Clinical features and treatment options for mitral regurgitation in elderly inpatients

Objective To summarize clinical characteristics and treatment strategy of Chinese elderly mitral regurgitation （MR） inpatients under the current guidelines, and to identify factors related to treatment options in them. Methods A single center retrospective study was conducted in which patients hospitalized in Fuwai hospital from May ist of 2014 to April 30 of 2015 with moderate to severe MR assessed by transthoraeic echocardiography were enrolled consecutively （n = 1741）. Patients 〉 60 years old were grouped as elderly group （n = 680） and patients 〈 60 years were grouped as control group （n = 1061）. The elderly group was categorized into two subgroups based on surgical status. Results The mean age of the elderly group was 66.98 i 5.94 years. The most common reason of MR in elderly group was degenerative MR （41.18%）. Atherosclerotic risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes or hyperlipidaemia were more commonly observed in elderly group than the control group （45.44% vs. 25.17%, P 〈 0.001; 19.56% vs. 8.48%, P 〈 0.001; 35.29% vs. 19.51%, P 〈 0.001）. Elderly group had higher Enroscore Ⅱ score （5.54 ± 2.42 vs. 3.15 ± 1.66）, greater left ventricular end diastolic diameter （LVEDD） （57.72±12.3 vs. 57.33 ± 10.19 ram） and a lower surgery rate （54.71% vs. 63.91%）; P 〈 0.05. Age, left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）, regurgitation grade, Eu- roScore-Ⅱ high risk stratification and having diabetes were identified as factors associated with therapy decisions in elderly MR patients. Conclusions Valve surgery was denied in 45.29% of elderly MR inpatients. Older age, impaired LVEF, lower regurgitation grade, Euro- Score-Ⅱ high risk stratification, and having diabetes were factors most significantly associated with surgery denial among elderly Chinese inpatients with MR.

Gallbladder neuroendocrine carcinoma diagnosis, treatment and prognosis based on the SEER database: A literature review

BACKGROUND Gallbladder neuroendocrine carcinoma(GB-NEC)has a low incidence rate;therefore,its clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis are not well explored.AIM To review recent research and analyze corresponding data in the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results(SEER)database.METHODS Data of GB-NEC(n=287)and gallbladder adenocarcinoma(GB-ADC)(n=19484)patients from 1975 to 2016 were extracted from the SEER database.Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan–Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression.P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.We also reviewed 108 studies retrieved from PubMed and Reference Citation Analysis(https://www.referencecitationanalysis.com/).The keywords used for the search were:"(Carcinoma,Neuroendocrine)AND(Gallbladder Neoplasms)".RESULTS The GB-NEC incidence rate was 1.6%(of all gallbladder carcinomas),male to female ratio was 1:2 and the median survival time was 7 mo.The 1-,2-,3-and 5-year overall survival(OS)was 36.6%,17.8%,13.2%and 7.3%respectively.Serum chromogranin A levels may be a specific tumor marker for the diagnosis of GBNEC.Elevated carcinoembryonic antigen,carbohydrate antigen(CA)-19-9 and CA-125 levels were associated with poor prognosis.Age[hazard ratio(HR)=1.027,95%confidence interval(CI):1.006–1.047,P=0.01]and liver metastasis(HR=3.055,95%CI:1.839–5.075,P<0.001)are independent prognostic risk factors for OS.Patients with advanced GB-NEC treated with surgical resection combined with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy may have a better prognosis than those treated with surgical resection alone.There was no significant difference in OS between GB-NEC and GB-ADC.CONCLUSION The clinical manifestations and prognosis of GB-NEC are similar to GB-ADC,but the treatment is completely different.Early diagnosis and treatment are the top priorities.

Comparison of clinical features and outcomes of proliferative,fibrotic,and mixed subtypes of IgG4-related disease:A retrospective cohort study

Background:Immunoglobulin G4-related disease(IgG4-RD)is a recently recognized immune-mediated disorder that can affect almost any organ in the human body.IgG4-RD can be categorized into proliferative and fibrotic subtypes based on patients’clinicopathological characteristics.This study aimed to compare the clinical manifestations,laboratory findings,and treatment outcomes of IgG4-RD among different subtypes.Methods:We prospectively enrolled 622 patients with newly diagnosed IgG4-RD at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from March 2011 to August 2021.The patients were divided into three groups according to their clinicopathological characteristics:proliferative,fibrotic,and mixed subtypes.We compared demographic features,clinical manifestations,organ involvement,laboratory tests,and treatment agents across three subtypes.We then assessed the differences in treatment outcomes among 448 patients receiving glucocorticoids alone or in combination with immunosuppressants.Moreover,risk factors of relapse were revealed by applying the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.Results:We classified the 622 patients into three groups consisting of 470 proliferative patients,55 fibrotic patients,and 97 mixed patients,respectively.We found that gender distribution,age,disease duration,and frequency of allergy history were significantly different among subgroups.In terms of organ involvement,submandibular and lacrimal glands were frequently involved in the proliferative subtype,while retroperitoneum was the most commonly involved site in both fibrotic subtype and mixed subtype.The comparison of laboratory tests revealed that eosinophils(P=0.010),total IgE(P=0.006),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(P<0.001),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(P<0.001),complement C4(P<0.001),IgG(P=0.001),IgG1(P<0.001),IgG4(P<0.001),and IgA(P<0.001),at baseline were significantly different among three subtypes.Compared with proliferative and mixed subtypes,the fibrotic subtype showed the lowest rate of relapse(log-rank P=0.014).Conclusions:Our study revealed the differences in demographic characteristics,clinical manifestations,organ involvement,laboratory tests,treatment agents,and outcomes across proliferative,fibrotic,and mixed subtypes in the retrospective cohort study.Given significant differences in relapse-free survival among the three subtypes,treatment regimens,and follow-up frequency should be considered separately according to different subtypes.Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov,NCT01670695.

Primary gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma: Clinical data predicted treatment outcome

AIM: To determine clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of gastric lymphoma after chemotherapy and immuno-chemotherapy. METHODS: Thirty four patients with primary gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma (Ann Arbor stages Ⅰ to Ⅳ) were enrolled. All had upper gastric endoscopy, abdominal ultrasonography, CT and H pylori status assessment (histology and serology). After anti-H pylori treatment and initial chemotherapy, patients were re-examined every 4 mo. RESULTS: Histological regression of the lymphoma was complete in 22/34 (64.7%) and partial in 9 (26.5%) patients. Median follow up time for these 31 responders was 60 mo (range 48-120). No regression was noted in 3 patients. Among the 25 (73.5%) H pylori positive patients, the eradication rate was 100%.CONCLUSION: Using univariate analysis, predictive factors for overall survival were international prognostic index (IPI) score, hemoglobin level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and platelet numbers (P < 0.005). In addition to this, Cox proportion hazard model differentiate IPI score, ESR, and platelets as predictors of survival.

In the early December 2019,a novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was first reported in Wuhan,China,followed by an outbreak that spread around the world.Numerous studies have shown that liver injury is common in patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19),and may aggravate the severity of the disease.However,the exact cause and specific mechanism of COVID-associated liver injury needs to be elucidated further.In this review,we present an analysis of the clinical features,potential mechanisms,and treatment strategies for liver injury associated with COVID-19.We hope that this review would benefit clinicians in devising better strategies for management of such patients.

Relevance on the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma of the salivary gland

Malignant lymphoma originates from the lymphohematopoietic system.It can occur in any lymphoid tissue.Malignant lymphoma of the salivary gland is rare,but its incidence has increased in recent years.Its clinical-presentations are nonspecific,and it is often manifested as a painless mass in a salivary gland,which can be accompanied by multiple swollen cervical lymph nodes.Confirmation of the diagnosis before an invasive procedure is difficult.Clinically,malignant lymphoma of the salivary gland tends to be misdiagnosed,leading to an inappropriate treatment plan and the ultimate delay in the optimal treatment of the disease.This article reviews the pathogenesis,clinical features,imaging findings,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of malignant lymphoma of the salivary gland.

Clinical features of elderly patients with COVID-19 in Wuhan,China

BACKGROUND Elderly patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)who have comorbidities,frailty or profound disabilities experience poor outcomes.We analyzed the clinical characteristics of elderly patients from Wuhan who had COVID-19 during the early stages of the pandemic.AIM To identify factors affecting the early mortality of elderly patients with COVID-19.METHODS The records of 234 patients who were 65-years-old or more and were hospitalized in Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital from February 4 to March 4,2020 were reviewed.All patients had confirmed COVID-19 and the final date of follow-up was April 4,2020.RESULTS There were 163 cases of mild disease(69.66%),39 cases of severe disease(16.67%)and 32 cases of critical disease(13.68%).Twenty-nine patients died within 1 mo(12.40%),all of whom had critical disease.Surviving patients and deceased patients had no significant differences in age or chronic diseases.Overall,the most common symptoms were fever(65.4%),dry cough(57.3%),fatigue(47.4%)and shortness of breath(41%).The deceased patients had higher levels of multiple disease markers(C-reactive protein,D-dimer,lactate dehydrogenase,alanine amino transferase,aspartate aminotransferase,creatinine kinase and creatinine kinase-MB)and higher incidences of lymphocytopenia and hypoproteinemia.CONCLUSION This single-center study of elderly patients from Wuhan,China who were hospitalized with COVID-19 indicated that age and chronic diseases were not associated with mortality.Hypertension,diabetes and cardiovascular disease were the most common comorbidities and the most common symptoms were fever,dry cough,fatigue and shortness of breath.Lymphocytopenia,increased levels of D-dimer and other markers indicative of damage to the heart,kidneys or liver were associated with an increased risk of death.

Changes of Clinical Features of Aortic Dissection Over Ten Years

Objectives To investigate changes of clinical features of aortic dissection （AD） in recent years in Guangzhou. Methods Retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with AD over 10 years in Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute. Demographic features and outcomes in cases presenting with acute dissection were compared between patients admitted in two five-year periods. Results 339 patients with AD were admitted during the recent ten years. Their mean age was 55.7 ± 11.2 years. Male verse female ratio was 4.8. Surgery was performed in 37 % of cases with acute type A and 7 % with acute type B dissection. Apart from a fast increase in number of patients admitted each year, there were no significant changes in demographic characteristics over these ten years. Survival of patients with acute dissection showed a trend of improvement, though it had not been statistically confirmed. Conclusions The number of admitted patients with AD has been fast increasing in Guangzhou. These patients were about ten years younger than previously reported by foreign researchers. Surgery was much less frequently performed than it was in western countries. Survival in acute cases showed a trend of improvement. These data support urgent improvement in prevention and management of aortic dissection.

Analysis of Etiology and Clinical Characteristics of 1170 Patients with Symptomatic Epilepsy in Jianghan Plain

Objective: The etiology, clinical manifestations and treatment of 1170 patients with symptomatic epilepsy were retrospectively analyzed and provided guidance for further treatment of symptomatic epilepsy. Method: A retrospective analysis of 1170 cases of symptomatic epilepsy admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Yangtze University from January 2013 to June 2018 was conducted to analyze the etiology, clinical manifestations and treatment of different age groups. Results: Symptomatic epilepsy is high in the elderly, and men are more than women. Among the 1170 patients with symptomatic epilepsy, there were 81 (6.9%) cases of brain injury, 721 (61.6%) cases of cerebrovascular disease, 223 (19.0%) cases of tumor, 59 (5.0%) cases of central nervous system infection, 33 (2.8%) cases of immune metabolic disease, 11 (0.9%) cases of drugs, 6 (0.5%) cases of cortical dysplasia, 6 (0.5%) cases of neurodegenerative disease, 4 (0.3%) cases of parasites, 4 (0.3%) cases of poisons, and 22 (1.9%) cases of other diseases. Among them, central nervous system infection and cerebrovascular disease ranked first among the patients aged 0 - 18 years, followed by immune metabolic diseases;cerebrovascular disease ranked first among the patients aged 19 - 39 years, followed by tumors and brain trauma;cerebrovascular disease ranked first among the patients aged 40 - 65 years, followed by tumors and brain trauma;cerebrovascular disease ranked first among the patients aged over 65 years, followed by tumors, among the types of seizures, 74 (6.3%) cases of tonic seizures, 68 (5.8%) cases of clonic seizures, 856 (73.2%) cases of tonic-clonic seizures, 27 (2.3%) cases of myoclonic seizures, 12 (1.0%) cases of absence seizures, 116 (9.9%) cases of complicated partial seizures, and 17 (1.5%) cases of partial seizures, in addition to the etiology, 795 (67.9%) cases of sodium valproate, 152 (13.0%) cases of carbamazepine, 56 (4.8%) cases of topiramate, 117 (10.0%) cases of levetiracetam, 23 (2.0%) cases of lamotrigine, and 27 (2.3%) cases of others were taken. Conclusion: In symptomatic epilepsy, different age groups have different causes. Among them, cerebrovascular disease, central nervous system infection, brain trauma, and brain tumor are the main causes. The most common type of seizures is the occurrence of tonic-clonic seizures. The most common drugs are sodium valproate and carbamazepine.

Clinical analysis of Wernicke encephalopathy after liver transplantation

Background:Wernicke encephalopathy(WE)is an acute neurological disease resulting from vitamin B1 deficiency,and there are only very few case reports of WE after liver transplantation.The present study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics,etiology,magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)features,treatment and prognosis of patients with WE after liver transplantation.Methods:Twenty-three patients with WE after liver transplantation from the First Affiliated Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Jiangxi Provincial People’s Hospital between January 2011 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 23 patients diagnosed with WE after liver transplantation,6(26%)had a classic triad of impaired consciousness,oculomotor palsy and ataxia,and 17(74%)had two features.The misdiagno-sis rate was 65%.After treatment with high-dose vitamin B1,19(83%)patients showed improvement,whereas 4(17%)showed no improvement,including 3 with residual short-term memory impairments and 1 with residual spatial and temporal disorientation and ataxia.Conclusions:The misdiagnosis rate is high in the early stage of WE,and the prognosis is closely asso-ciated with whether WE is diagnosed early and treated timely.High-dose glucose or glucocorticoids can trigger WE and cannot be administered before vitamin B1 treatment.Vitamin B1 is suggested to be used as a prophylactic treatment for patients with WE after liver transplantation.
