简介:AbstractBackground:Intensive phototherapy (IPT) and exchange transfusion (ET) are the main treatments for extreme hyperbilirubinemia. However, there is no reliable evidence on determining the thresholds for these treatments. This multicenter study compared the effectiveness and complications of IPT and ET in the treatment of extreme hyperbilirubinemia.Methods:This retrospective cohort study was conducted in seven centers from January 2015 to January 2018. Patients with extreme hyperbilirubinemia that met the criteria of ET were included. Patients were divided into three subgroups (low-, medium-, and high-risk) according to gestational week and risk factors. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance the data before treatment. Study outcomes included the development of bilirubin encephalopathy, duration of hospitalization, expenses, and complications. Mortality, auditory complications, seizures, enamel dysplasia, ocular motility disorders, athetosis, motor, and language development were evaluated during follow-up at age of 3 years.Results:A total of 1164 patients were included in this study. After PSM, 296 patients in the IPT only group and 296 patients in the IPT plus ET group were further divided into the low-, medium-, and high-risk subgroups with 188, 364, and 40 matched patients, respectively. No significant differences were found between the IPT only and IPT plus ET groups in terms of morbidity, complications, and sequelae. Hospitalization duration and expenses were lower in the low- and medium-risk subgroups in the IPT only group.Conclusions:In this study, our results suggest that IPT is a safe and effective treatment for extreme hyperbilirubinemia. The indication of ET for patients with hyperbilirubinemia could be stricter. However, it is necessary to have a contingency plan for emergency ET as soon as IPT is commenced especially for infants with risk factors. If IPT can be guaranteed and proved to be therapeutic, ET should be avoided as much as possible.

简介:AbstractBackground:Although existing mycological tests (bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL] galactomannan [GM], serum GM, serum (1,3)-β-D-glucan [BDG], and fungal culture) are widely used for diagnosing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in non-hematological patients with respiratory diseases, their clinical utility in this large population is actually unclear. We aimed to resolve this clinical uncertainty by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy and utility of existing tests and explore the efficacy of novel sputum-based Aspergillus assays.Methods:Existing tests were assessed in a prospective and consecutive cohort of patients with respiratory diseases in West China Hospital between 2016 and 2019 while novel sputum assays (especially sputum GM and Aspergillus-specific lateral-flow device [LFD]) in a case-controlled subcohort. IPA was defined according to the modified European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Mycoses Study Group criteria. Sensitivity and specificity were computed for each test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed.Results:The entire cohort included 3530 admissions (proven/probable IPA = 66, no IPA = 3464) and the subcohort included 127 admissions (proven/probable IPA = 38, no IPA = 89). Sensitivity of BAL GM (≥1.0 optical density index [ODI]: 86% [24/28]) was substantially higher than that of serum GM (≥0.5 ODI: 38% [39/102]) (χ2 = 19.83, P < 0.001), serum BDG (≥70 pg/mL: 33% [31/95]) (χ2 = 24.65, P < 0.001), and fungal culture (33% [84/253]) (χ2 = 29.38, P < 0.001). Specificity varied between BAL GM (≥1.0 ODI: 94% [377/402]), serum GM (≥0.5 ODI: 95% [2130/2248]), BDG (89% [1878/2106]), and culture (98% [4936/5055]). Sputum GM (≥2.0 ODI) had similar sensitivity (84% [32/38]) (Fisher’s exact P = 1.000) to and slightly lower specificity (87% [77/89]) (χ2 = 5.52, P = 0.019) than BAL GM (≥1.0 ODI). Area under the ROC curve values were comparable between sputum GM (0.883 [0.812-0.953]) and BAL GM (0.901 [0.824-0.977]) (P = 0.734). Sputum LFD had similar specificity (91% [81/89]) (χ2 = 0.89, P = 0.345) to and lower sensitivity (63% [24/38]) (χ2 = 4.14, P = 0.042) than BAL GM (≥1.0 ODI), but significantly higher sensitivity than serum GM (≥0.5 ODI) (χ2 = 6.95, P = 0.008), BDG (χ2 = 10.43, P = 0.001), and fungal culture (χ2 = 12.70, P < 0.001).Conclusions:Serum GM, serum BDG, and fungal culture lack sufficient sensitivity for diagnosing IPA in respiratory patients. Sputum GM and LFD assays hold promise as rapid, sensitive, and non-invasive alternatives to the BAL GM test.
简介:随着社会公众对环境问题关注度的提升,越来越多的企业在营销活动中采用绿色广告。随之而来的问题是,与非绿色广告相比,绿色广告在什么条件下能发挥更大的有效性?已有文献从产品类型、动机以及环保关注度角度进行了相关研究,但忽视了消费者认知对绿色广告有效性的影响。本文基于消费者解释水平理论,探讨解释水平对绿色广告有效性的影响以及这种影响的中介机制。研究采用情景模拟实验法,实验一探讨了解释水平与绿色广告/非绿色广告对说服效果的交互作用,实验二探讨了加工流畅性的中介作用。结果表明,解释水平与绿色广告/非绿色广告对说服效果具有交互作用,当消费者倾向于高解释水平时,绿色广告的说服效果好于非绿色广告,而当消费者倾向于低解释水平时,非绿色广告的说服效果好于绿色广告,并且加工流畅性在这一交互作用中具有中介效应。
简介:AbstractBackground:The neoadjuvant chemotherapy is increasingly used in advanced gastric cancer, but the effects on safety and survival are still controversial. The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the overall survival and short-term surgical outcomes between neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery (NACS) and surgery alone (SA) for locally advanced gastric cancer.Methods:Databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar) were explored for relative studies from January 2000 to January 2021. The quality of randomized controlled trials and cohort studies was evaluated using the modified Jadad scoring system and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, respectively. The Review Manager software (version 5.3) was used to perform this meta-analysis. The overall survival was evaluated as the primary outcome, while perioperative indicators and post-operative complications were evaluated as the secondary outcomes.Results:Twenty studies, including 1420 NACS cases and 1942 SA cases, were enrolled. The results showed that there were no significant differences in overall survival (P = 0.240), harvested lymph nodes (P = 0.200), total complications (P = 0.080), and 30-day post-operative mortality (P = 0.490) between the NACS and SA groups. However, the NACS group was associated with a longer operation time (P < 0.0001), a higher R0 resection rate (P = 0.003), less reoperation (P = 0.030), and less anastomotic leakage (P = 0.007) compared with SA group.Conclusions:Compared with SA, NACS was considered safe and feasible for improved R0 resection rate as well as decreased reoperation and anastomotic leakage. While unbenefited overall survival indicated a less important effect of NACS on long-term oncological outcomes.
简介:基因同样源自赛道基因向经典致敬保时捷718BoxsterS与上一代最明显的差异,自然是在车尾首次挂上了“718”的头衔.相比保时捷911,可能大家对“718”有点陌生,这是一款以保时捷经典车型550Spyder为基础衍生出的赛车专用车型,采用了中置双座敞篷设定,且发动机盖下搭载了一台1.5升四缸发动机.所以全新718BoxsterS也传承了718经典的中置敞篷搭配四缸动力的设计.718在1957~1962年间活跃于各大赛场,并且多次夺得优异的成绩.其中,亮相第二年便拿下了勒芒24小时耐力赛的冠军与季军.1959年,718还斩获了TargaFlorio赛事的总冠军,此后的911Targa车型之名便来源于此.最后甚至被改装为单座配置,并代表保时捷出战二级方程式大赛.因此对于保时捷来说“718”并不仅仅是一串数字或一部车款,“718”所代表的是保时捷勇往直前的运动精神.
