  • Therapeutic effect of photodynamic therapy and transpupillary thermotherapy on circumscribed choroid hemangioma

    Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) on circumscribed choroid hemangioma (CCH).Methods Clinical data of 32 patients (33 eyes) with CCH diagnosed by ocular fundus examination, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA),indocyanine green angiography (ICGA),optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Bultrasound examination were retrospectively analyzed.Before the therapy the selected cases had best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of fingercounting/15 cm-0.2,the sizes of 2-10 disc diameter (DD) and serous retinal detachment.Twentyone patients (22 eyes) whose tumor located at the posterior pole except for the papillomacular bundle and arch ring area underwent TTT.The parameters of TTT included: Iris 810 nm infra red diode laser,7001200 mW,60 s,and 1-3 spots. Eleven patients (11 eyes) with tumor located at the posterior pole except for the papillomacular bundle and arch ring area underwent. After 15 minutes of intravenous injection with Visudyne, laser irradiation with the wavelength of 689 nm was performed with the time of 83-123 s. The followup period was 12-48 months with the mean of 25.6 months.BCVA and results of indirect ophthalmoscopy,fundus photogrphy,FFA,ICGA,OCT and B ultrasound examination were exanmined and anlyzed.Results In the 22 eyes in TTT group, the BCVA improved in 15 and kept unchanged in 7;the results of fundus examinations showed healed retina and atrophy tumor with greywhite organized scar;the results of FFA revealed no fluorescence leakage and scar fluorescence dyeing of the lesion in later period;the results of OCT indicated disappeared retinal detachment, completely absorbed subretinal liquid and increased reflection of choroid tumor with scar;the results of Bultrasound examination showed no retinal detachment and atrophy tumor.In 11 eyes in PDT group,the BCVA improved in 9, unchanged in 2;the results of fundus examinations showed atrophy tumor with pigmentation;the results of FFA revealed disappeared fluorescence leakage;the results of OCT indicated completely absorbed subretinal liquid;the results of B-ultrasound examination showed atrophy tumor.Conclusions Both TTT and PDT can make the tumor atrophy,improve BCVA or keep it still;but apply to different area.

  • Risk Factors Analysis of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Adult Patients Undergoing Heart Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass

    Objective To analyze the risk factors for ventilator-associated pneumonia( VAP) in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB) . Methods A total of 127 consecutive adult patients who received postoperative ventilation for more than 48 hours between January 2002 and June 2008 in the cardiac surgical intensive care unit( CSICU) were included in this study. The patients were assigned into a VAPgroup( n =64) and a control group( n = 63) . Pre-, intra-, and postoperative factors were collected and analyzed between two groups, and the multivariate analysis( logistic regression)were used to identify the risk factors of VAP. Results The overall incidence of VAP was 5.1%. The mortality of VAP was 28. 1% . Compared to the control group, the patients in the VAP group had longer duration of cardiopulmonary bypass time, ventilation time, more blood products usage and the duration of stay in CSICU( P lt; 0. 001) , higher morbidity of low cardiac output syndrome and tracheotomy( P lt; 0. 01) and higher rate of aortic surgery and mortality( P lt; 0. 05) . The preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) and postoperative oxygenation index( PaO2 /FiO2 ) were lower in the VAP group than those of the control group( P lt; 0. 001) . Five variables were found to be significantly related to the development of VAP by multivariate analysis: CPB time gt; 120 min( OR = 6. 352, P = 0. 000) ; PaO2 /FiO2 lt; 300 mm Hg( OR =3. 642, P = 0. 017) , transfusion of blood products ≥1500 mL( OR = 5. 083, P = 0. 039) , ventilation time≥5 days( OR = 9. 074, P = 0. 047) and tracheotomy( OR = 19. 899, P = 0. 021) . A total of 102 pathogens were obtained by sputum culture in 64 VAP patients. There were 62( 60. 8% ) cases of gram negative bacilli, 19 cases( 18. 6% ) of gram positive cocci and 21( 20. 6% ) cases of eumycetes. Conclusion This study shows that the cardiopulmonary bypass time, ventilation time, hypoxemia, blood products transfusion and tracheotomy are risk factors most likely associated with VAP development.

  • Research progess in effect of novel coronavirus on cardiovascular system

    In addition to the typical respiratory symptoms, COVID-19 patients present with clinical manifestations of cardiovascular system damage, and they are at higher risk of intensive care or mortality. The mechanism of COVID-19's impact on the cardiovascular system is still unclear, therefore we need to pay close attention to it. Based on the existing research, this paper focused on the concurrent characteristics of the cardiovascular system diseases, summarized the possible mechanisms of cardiovascular system damage, including the coronavirus invaders directly into cardiomyocytes and its conduction system, with complications or accompanying conditions such as cytokine storm, imbalance of oxygen supply and demand, drug influence, stress and other damage to cardiovascular system. Meanwhile, current clinical manifestations and treatment methods of COVID-19 were summarized.

  • The risk factors for mortality in children with tuberculous meningitis: a meta-analysis

    Objective To systematically review the risk factors for death in children with tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Methods The CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, CBM, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, EMbase and CINAHL databases were electronically searched to collect studies on the risk factors for death in children with TBM from inception to October 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 15 studies involving 2 597 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that male (OR=2.41, 95%CI 1.61 to 3.61, P<0.01), no history of BCG vaccination (OR=3.74, 95%CI 1.96 to 7.12, P<0.01), TBM stage (stage Ⅲ) (OR=2.04, 95%CI 1.26 to 3.28, P<0.01), HIV infection (OR=3.28, 95%CI 1.20 to 8.93, P=0.02), convulsion (OR=3.61, 95%CI 3.31 to 3.94, P<0.01), disturbance of consciousness (OR=3.58, 95%CI 2.40 to 5.34, P<0.01), cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration increased (OR=1.87, 95%CI 1.39 to 2.51, P<0.01), hydrocephalus (OR=2.44, 95%CI 1.60 to 3.71, P<0.01) and short hospitalization (OR=2.89, 95%CI 2.05 to 4.06, P<0.01) were risk factors for death in children with TBM. Under 5 years old, negative PPD skin test, positive meningeal irritation sign, malnutrition and history of contact with TB may not be associated with the death of TBM in children. Conclusion Male, no history of BCG vaccination, TBM stage (stage Ⅲ), HIV infection, convulsions, disturbance of consciousness, cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration increased, hydrocephalus and short hospitalization are risk factors for death in children with TBM. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
