Filter by:On February 11th, 2020, the International Classification of Viruses named the disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as novel coronavirus (COVID-19, Covid-19 for short). At present, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic. However, the persistent replication of HIV in PLWH and the cellular immunodeficiency and persistent inflammation caused by it may have different effects on the susceptibility, severity and course of Covid-19. Several large cohort studies have found evidence of increased risk of hospitalization and death in patients with HIV and Covid-19 co-infection. Meanwhile, a meta-analysis of 22 studies shows that HIV infection is still an important risk factor for acquiring Covid-19 infection, and it is associated with a higher risk of death in COVID-19. In order to further clarify the clinical features and prognosis of HIV co-infection with Covid-19 and explore its immune mechanism, so we will carry out the study.
To investigate the role of preoperative serum FGF19 level in the prognosis of biliary atresia.
The investigators propose a prospective, observational study to determine the impact of OSA and associated physiological parameters on clinical outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension. The prevalence, phenotypes, and predictors of OSA in the setting of pulmonary hypertension will also be investigated. Adult patients diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension by right heart catheterization are eligible. Recruited patients will undergo an overnight cardiorespiratory study using a Level III portable device before hospital discharge. The cardiorespiratory tracings during sleep will be analyzed and audited by a certified sleep physician. The patients will be divided into two groups based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): OSA (AHI ≥ 5) and non-OSA (AHI<5) groups. Hypoxemic parameters such as time percentage spent with oxygen saturation below 90% and nadir oxygen saturation were all collected. Baseline clinical characteristics, such as the Epworth sleepiness scales, were also obtained. The primary endpoint of this study was clinical worsening (CW), defined as the composite event of a reduction in exercise capacity, worsening in World Health Organization functional class, non-elective hospitalization for pulmonary hypertension, or all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints include individual outcomes of clinical worsening and all-cause mortality.
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) has an incidence of 46% in patients after breast cancer surgery, which seriously affects patients' physiological and psychological function, as well as quality of life. Acute pain is an independent risk factor for persistent pain after surgery. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) provided excellent perioperative analgesia in patients undergoing breast surgery. Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant of local anesthetics prolongs the duration of peripheral nerve block and decreases the requirements of postoperative analgesia. The investigators hypothesize that, for breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy, ESPB (with a combination of 0.5% ropivacaine 35 ml and dexmedetomidine 1 microgram/kg) can reduce the occurrence of CPSP. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the impact of ESPB with adjuvant dexmedetomidine on the incidence of CPSP in breast cancer patients after mastectomy. We will also observe the impact of ESPB on long-term survival in these patients.
The aim of this study is to assess the clinical value of 5 transcriptomic signatures prognostic of chemotherapeutic sensitivity to improve the Objective Response Rate (ORR) of first-line (L1). Chemotherapy regimen (FOLFIRINOX vs Gem-nabP) will be selected based on transcriptomic signatures applied to the pre-therapeutic liver biopsy of newly diagnosed PDAC patients.
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(SICH) is the most lethal and disabling stroke. Timely and accurate assessment of patient prognosis could facilitate clinical decision making and stratified management of patients and is important for improving patient clinical prognosis. However, current studies on the prediction of prognosis of patients with SICH are limited and only include a single variable, with less precise results and inconvenient clinical application, which may lead to delays in effective patient treatment. Our group's previous studies on SICH showed that hematoma heterogeneity and the degree of contrast extravasation within the hematoma are closely related to the clinical outcome of patients, but they are difficult to describe quantitatively based on imaging signs. Based on this, we propose to use radiomics to quantitatively extract hematoma features from NCCT and CTA images, combine them with patients' clinical information and laboratory tests, study their relationship with the prognosis of cerebral hemorrhage, and use artificial intelligence to establish a rapid and accurate prognostic prediction model for patients with SICH, which is of great significance to guide clinical individualized treatment.
Comparison of the progression-free survival, overall survival, local progression rates, complete ablation rates and the complications rate of MSA and traditional MWA in the treatment of single hepatocellular carcinoma with a diameter of ≤5cm.
Developing a deep learning model based on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to predict the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and aid choose operation decisions
Sepsis is a clinical syndrome with high morbidity and high fatality rate in emergency department. Patients with acute liver or kidney injury are more likely to develop Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome(MODS) secondary to the non-hepatic injury group, and the prognosis deteriorates significantly. At present, there is no unified diagnostic criteria for acute liver injury associated with sepsis, and the commonly used prognostic evaluation system is rarely included in liver injury indicators, which is not good for practicality.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly aggressive tumor with atypical clinical manifestations. Most patients with MPM are at an advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, and only a few patients can be cured by radical surgery and other treatment measures. Pemetrexed + cisplatin chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab is still the standard treatment for MPM. In recent years, multimodality therapy including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have shown certain advantages in improving patient overall survival time. Targeted and immunotherapy may bring breakthroughs in MPM therapy. However, there are still no high-quality evidence-based medical evidence reports on the treatment model and effects of MPM patients in China. Focusing on MPM, we plan to systematically review the relevant scientific literature, confirm relevant scientific research questions, and provide references for related treatments. On this basis, we will estimate MPM incidence and mortality rates from 2014 to 2025 based on the data published by the National Cancer Registry. Meanwhile, a retrospective study cohort was constructed based on the electronic medical record database, and according to the research demand, patients were followed up with their post-discharge survival status to comprehensively describe and analyze the incidence, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of MPM patients. Also, exploratory analysis of the therapeutic effects of existing clinical treatments was conducted.
