Variabilidad del uso intraoperatorio de cristaloides y asociación con los resultados postoperatorios: análisis post hoc de dos estudios prospectivos y multicéntricos de cohortes

BackgroundThe optimal regimen for intravenous administration of intraoperative fluids remains unclear. Our goal was to analyze intraoperative crystalloid volume administration practices and their association with postoperative outcomes.MethodsWe extracted clinical data from two multicenter observational studies including adult patients undergoing colorectal surgery and total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA). We analyzed the distribution of intraoperative fluid administration. Regression was performed using a general linear model to determine factors predictive of fluid administration. Patient outcomes and intraoperative crystalloid utilization were summarized for each surgical cohort. Regression models were developed to evaluate associations of high or low intraoperative crystalloid with the likelihood of increased postoperative complications, mainly acute kidney injury (AKI) and hospital length of stay (LOS).Results7,580 patients were included. The average adjusted intraoperative crystalloid infusion rate across all surgeries was to 7.9 (SD 4) mL/kg/h. The regression model strongly favored the type of surgery over other patient predictors. We found that high fluid volume was associated with 40% greater odds ratio (OR 1.40; 95% confidence interval1.01-1.95, p = 0.044) of postoperative complications in patients undergoing THA, while we found no associations for the other types of surgeries, AKI and LOSConclusionsA wide variability was observed in intraoperative crystalloid volume administration; however, this did not affect postoperative outcomes.     

纳米技术在嵌合抗原受体T细胞肿瘤免疫治疗中的应用进展

肿瘤免疫治疗主要通过解除免疫抑制作用与增强免疫应答反应来实现对其有效治疗.纳米技术能够提高免疫刺激分子的聚集度与作用力,在完成局部免疫调节的基础上有效治疗癌症.嵌合抗原受体T细胞(CAR-T)是肿瘤免疫治疗中的一种有力手段,能够对肿瘤患者的T细胞进行转化处理,令其成为可表达嵌合肿瘤细胞表面抗原受体的CAR-T细胞,随后将相应的CAR-T细胞回输至肿瘤患者体内,并通过特异性识别、杀伤肿瘤细胞的方式,有效杀灭肿瘤病毒.将纳米技术应用至CAR-T肿瘤免疫治疗中,有望提高肿瘤免疫治疗的疗效与安全性.本文就纳米技术在CAR-T肿瘤免疫治疗中的应用进展进行综述.     

术前控制营养状态评分与肝细胞癌肝切除术后预后的研究进展

肝细胞癌(HCC)是最常见的恶性肿瘤之一。尽管在早期诊断和个体化治疗方面取得了进展,但经根治性切除等治疗后,HCC患者的临床预后仍不佳,复发率高。因此,在HCC患者中识别准确可靠的预后标志物是必要的。作为一种新的免疫营养生物标志物,控制营养状态(CONUT)评分已被报道用于预测癌症患者的预后。本文将对术前CONUT评分与HCC肝切除术后预后的研究进展进行综述。     

Characteristics and outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest in adults hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome in China

AimsThis retrospective study aims to analyze and explore the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and in-hospital outcomes - including return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to discharge - of hospitalized patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) suffering cardiac arrest.MethodsACS patients admitted to three tertiary hospitals in Fujian, China, were evaluated retrospectively from January 1, 2012 to December 30, 2016. Data were collected, based on the Utstein Style, for all cases of attempted resuscitation for IHCA. We analyzed patient characteristics, pre-event variables, event variables, and the main outcomes, including ROSC and survival to discharge, and identified the influencing factors on the outcomes.ResultsThe total number of ACS admissions across the three hospitals during this study period was 21,337. Among these admissions, 320 ACS patients experienced IHCA (incidence: 1.50%); 134 (41.9%) patients experienced ROSC; and 68 (21.2%) survived to discharge. The findings indicated that four factors were associated with ROSC, including age <70 years-old, shockable rhythm, duration of resuscitation (≤15 min and 16–30 min), and PCI. Five factors were associated with survival to discharge, including age <70 years-old, shockable rhythm, the duration of resuscitation (≤15 min and 16–30 min), Killip ≤ II, and CCI ≤ 2.ConclusionYounger age, shockable rhythm, and shorter duration of resuscitation were all factors demonstrated to be a predictor of ROSC and survival to hospital discharge.
