Correlations between Clinical Features and Mortality in Patients with Vibrio vulnificus Infection

Vibrio vulnificus is a common gram-negative bacterium, which might cause morbidity and mortality in patients following consumption of seafood or exposure to seawater in Southeast China. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of patients with laboratory confirmed V. vulnificus infection. Twenty one patients were divided into a survival group and a non-surviving (or death) group according to their clinical outcome. Clinical data and measurements were statistically analyzed. Four patients (19.05%) died and five patients gave positive cultures from bile fluid, and 16 other patients gave positive culture from blood or blisters. Ten patients (47.62%) had an underlying liver disease and marine-related events were found in sixteen patients (76.2%). Patients with heavy drinking habits might be at increased mortality (p = 0.028). Clinical manifestations of cellulitis (47.6%), septic shock (42.9%) and multiple organ failure (28.6%) were statistically significant when comparing survivors and non-survivors (p = 0.035, p = 0.021 and p = 0.003, respectively). The laboratory results, including hemoglobin < 9.0 g/L (p = 0.012), platelets < 2.0×10⁹ /L, prothrombin time activity (PTA) <20%, decreased serum creatinine and increased urea nitrogen were statistically significant (p = 0.012, p = 0.003, p = 0.028 and p = 0.028, respectively). Patients may be at a higher risk of mortality under situations where they have a history of habitual heavy alcoholic drink consumption (p = 0.028, OR = 22.5, 95%CI 1.5–335.3), accompanied with cellulitis, shock, multiple organ failure, and laboratory examinations that are complicated by decreased platelets, hemoglobin and significantly prolonged prothrombin time (PT).

目的:探讨喉癌患者手术部位发生感染(Surgical site infection,SSI)的相关危险因素及干预对策,为临床预防提供参考。方法:回顾性分析2012年7月-2013年11月因喉癌而在我院行喉切除术的83例患者的临床资料,根据术后是否发生SSI将患者分为感染组(n=12例)和非感染组(n=71例)。分析两组患者术后SSI的危险因素,并提出相应护理对策。结果:83例患者中,12例术后发生SSI,发生率为14.46%;单因素分析显示,感染组和非感染组在临床III期以上、术前气管切开、手术时间4 h、全喉切除等方面存在显著差异性(P0.05);多因素回归分析显示:患者的临床分期、术前气管是否切开、手术时间及手术切除方式是术后发生SSI的独立危险因素(P0.05)。结论:喉癌术后感染与临床分期、手术时间及切除方式等因素有关,采取有效的干预对策可减少术后SSI的发生率。     

Overcoming Clinical Inertia in the Management of Postoperative Patients with Diabetes

ObjectiveTo assess the impact of an intervention designed to increase basal-bolus insulin therapy administration in postoperative patients with diabetes mellitus.MethodsEducational sessions and direct support for surgical services were provided by a nurse practitioner (NP). Outcome data from the intervention were compared to data from a historical (control) period. Changes in basalbolus insulin use were assessed according to hyperglycemia severity as defined by the percentage of glucose measurements > 180 mg/dL.ResultsPatient characteristics were comparable for the control and intervention periods (all P ≥ .15). Overall, administration of basal-bolus insulin occurred in 9% (8/93) of control and in 32% (94/293) of intervention cases (P < .01). During the control period, administration of basal-bolus insulin did not increase with more frequent hyperglycemia (P = .22). During the intervention period, administration increased from 8% (8/96) in patients with the fewest number of hyperglycemic measurements to 60% (57/95) in those with the highest frequency of hyperglycemia (P < .01). The mean glucose level was lower during the intervention period compared to the control period (149 mg/dL vs. 163 mg/dL, P < .01). The proportion of glucose values > 180 mg/dL was lower during the intervention period than in the control period (21% vs. 31% of measurements, respectively, P < .01), whereas the hypoglycemia (glucose < 70 mg/dL) frequencies were comparable (P = .21).ConclusionAn intervention to overcome clinical inertia in the management of postoperative patients with diabetes led to greater utilization of basal-bolus insulin therapy and improved glucose control without increasing hypoglycemia. These efforts are ongoing to ensure the delivery of effective inpatient diabetes care by all surgical services. (Endocr Pract. 2014;20:320-328)

Analysis on the Clinical Features of 507 HDV-Infected Patients

The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical feature of hepatitis delta virus (HDV)-infected patients and to discuss the pathological mechanism of hepatitis D. A total of 507 patients with hepatitis due to the infection of HDV were included. The incidence rates of various hepatitis subtypes, the sequelae, the clinical manifestation, the hepatic function, and the hepatic virus makers for all the 507 patients were analyzed statistically. A cohort of 213 patients with hepatitis B, who were also HDV free, served as the control. HDV infection significantly contributed to the increased incidence rate and mortality of severe hepatitis (SH) and cirrhosis (P < 0.01). HDV was also associated with higher incidence rates of hemorrhage in the gastrointestinal tract, abdominal ascites and hepatic encephalopathy, repetitive augmentation of alanine transaminase, and its enhanced magnitude (P < 0.01 or 0.05). The major liver function changes in patients with SH or chronic serious hepatitis was significant compared to the control (P < 0.01). Within the HDV(+) category, HBeAg(?) expression was significantly higher in the HBV DNA(?) group than the HBV DNA(+) group (P < 0.01). The expression of HDAg(+) HBeAg(?) in acute hepatitis, SH, and cirrhosis was significantly higher than that of HDAg(+) HBeAg(+) (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). The HDV infection was closely associated with the development and prognosis of chronic serious hepatitis, SH, and cirrhosis. HDV infection could inhibit the HBV DNA replication or the HBcAg expression. The direct cytotoxicity of HDV might be the leading pathological factor in AH. HDV might play a major role in the deterioration and chronicization of HDV-co-infected hepatitis B and was responsible for the increased mortality of HBV/HDV patients.
