Surgery All patients included in this study underwent UPPP under general anesthesia with a low-temperature plasma ablation apparatus (PLA-600; Zhongyuan Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.; Shandong, China). Briefly, the surgery was carried out under general anesthesia using a nasal cannula. A 70# low-temperature plasma cutter head was used to perform bilateral epicapsular ablation of the tonsils. Inverted "U" incisions were made on the bilateral soft palate respectively, and the 70# cutter head progressively melted the adipose tissue and other soft tissues in the the veli palatine region. Subsequently, a 55# low-temperature plasma cutter head was used to perform perforation and ablation from between the two mucosal layers of the soft palate to the direction of the hard palate, with 2-3 holes on each side, and each ablation time was 8-12 s. Treatments Patients in both the 2 groups received amoxicillin sodium suspension every 8 hours for 7 days after UPPP. Except for these drugs, patients in the treatment group were instructed to gargle the suspension solution containing honeysuckle and semen oroxyli (25 mL) for 5 minutes. The solution was given 4 times a day for 2 weeks. The patients in the control group were instructed to gargle normal saline (25 mL) at the same schedule. No NSAIDs were administered unless requested by the patient. Data collection The post-operative resting throat pain and swallowing throat pain were evaluated at 0 week (12 hours after surgery), 1 week and 2 weeks after UPPP by the patients themselves using a visual analog scale (VAS) based on a linear scale from 0 to 10, where 0 represented an absence of pain and 10 represented maximal pain. Then, the changes of scores from week 0 to week 2 between the 2 groups were compared. The VAS scores related to patient comfort level were also evaluated by patients themselves, with 0 representing very much worse and 10 very much comfort. Furthermore, the researchers who were blinded to the therapeutic regimens evaluated the improvement in postoperative pain of patients within the 2-week postoperative period based on the clinical global impression of improvement (CGI-I score) questionnaire. In this questionnaire, the researchers used a seven-point scale from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse) to rate the improvement of body pain of the patients (10). The post-operative complications, such as wound infection and wound bleeding, were collected and analyzed. The baseline characteristics of the patients in 2 groups including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), OSA severity, American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) classification and pre-operative complications were also collected. The venous blood was collected at 12 h and 1 week after operation to detect the levels of hs-CRP, hemoglobin, neutrophil% and white blood cell count (WBC). Statistical analysis The data in this study were analyzed by the SPSS software (version 22.0). Normal distribution quantitative data were described as mean ± SD. The difference between groups were compared by the Student's t test. Non-normal distribution quantitative data were described as median with range and compared with Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical data were described as numbers and percentages and compared using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. P < 0.05 was considered as statistical significance.
Total knee replacement (TKR) is among the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures, and a six-fold increase in the number of TKR cases world-wide is projected within a decade as the aging of the populations . As the number of the TKR procedures increases, various approaches increasing the satisfaction and comfort of the patient and the surgeon are of interest in order to provide improved pain management, in-hospital stay, and recovery with the development of modern anesthesiology and pain management techniques.This study aimed to investigate the clinical effect of ultrasound-guided high fascia iliaca compartment block(H-FICB) in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy and to compare it with the normal method which is femoral nerve block combined with a sciatic nerve block to choose the better way. A double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted with 44 patients, aged 18-65 years, ASA I-III, who were scheduled to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery in our hospital were selected, the patients were divided into Group A and Group B by random number table method, with 22 patients in each group. Group A was subjected to the H-FICB under ultrasound guidance before general anesthesia, given 0.375% ropivacaine+0.5ug/kg Dexmedetomidine 30 ml. Group B was subjected to the H-FICB under ultrasound guidance before general anesthesia, given 0.375% ropivacaine+1ug/kg Dexmedetomidine 30 ml. The mini-mental State Examination was used to assess all the patients' primary cognitive status one day before surgery. The initial acting time and the degrees of sensory block and motor block were recorded after the nerve block was completed. Perioperative variables were recorded to be compared. The investigators used the visual analog scale to assess patients' pain degree with postoperative, recorded the occurrence of adverse events such as postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV), delayed emergence from anesthesia, and respiratory depression. The confusion assessment method was used to assess whether patients experienced delirium.
Recent evidence concerns acute kidney injury (AKI) following proton pump inhibitor (PPI) application. Few actual studies have compared the incidence, risk factors, and predictive models of AKI associated with PPI. The present study was a single-center retrospective study. The researchers retrospectively analyzed data from patients who received PPI medications between January 2018 and December 2020. PPI drugs included omeprazole, esomeprazole, rabeprazole, and pantoprazole. The primary outcome of the study was AKI, as defined by kidney disease: improving global outcomes (KDIGO). Secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay, hospital costs, and continuous renal replacement therapy. Independent risk factors associated with AKI were identified by univariate analysis and multifactorial logistic regression analysis (P < 0.05). Logistic regression models were constructed based on the variables obtained from the analysis. Internal validation of the model was performed by the ten-fold cross-validation method. Model discriminatory power was assessed by the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The study aims to develop a PPI-related AKI prediction model based on an electronic medical record system that can be used to predict AKI in hospitalized patients and contribute to the early prevention, diagnosis and treatment of AKI, ultimately reducing morbidity and improving prognosis.
Acute kidney injury (AKI), also known as acute kidney failure (ARF), is a common and complex kidney disease in clinic and an important factor related to poor prognosis of patients in clinic. In the present study, a single-center retrospective study was conducted in our center. The clinical data of hospitalized patients received β-Lactam drugs from January 2018 to December 2020 was retrospectively analyzed. The multiple logistic regression analysis suggested that complicated with hypertension, anemia, pneumonia, shock, sepsis, heart failure, combined use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), angiotensin Ⅱ receptor antagonist (ARB) were independent risk factors for AKI related to β-Lactam drugs. In clinical practice, patients with acute kidney injury risk factors should be closely monitored for changes in their blood creatinine and urine output to avoid acute kidney injury. For patients who have suffered from acute kidney injury, the cause should be removed in time and corresponding symptomatic treatment should be given.
Drug-induced acute kidney injury (D-AKI) can occur after treatment with aminoglycosides. Predicting the risk of D-AKI is important for a tailored prevention and palliation strategy. There are currently no studies to construct a model for predicting the risk of D-AKI associated with aminoglycosides. Therefore, the study aimed to develop a model to predict the risk of D-AKI that could be used in clinical practice. Clinical data of inpatients treated with aminoglycosides at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020, were collected. The primary endpoint was D-AKI, defined according to the 2012 Global Outcomes for Kidney Disease Improvement (KDIGO). Patient clinical information, including demographic information, admission and discharge information, disease history, medication information, and laboratory tests, was obtained through an in-hospital electronic medical record system. Independent risk factors associated with D-AKI will be screened by univariate and multifactorial analyses. Covariates with significant differences (P < 0.05) were included in logistic regression models. The models were evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) obtained by ten-fold cross-validation. Future studies are needed to test the application of this model in clinical practice to determine whether D-AKI in this setting can be predicted and mitigated.
