Abstract: Objective To determine the incidence, course, potential risk factors and outcomes of postoperative noninfectious fever in aortic surgical patients. Methods We reviewed 549 patients who received operation for aortic aneurysm or dissection in Beijing FuWai Cardiovascular Disease Hospital from January 2006 to January 2008. After excluding patients with a known source of infection during hospitalization, patients who had preoperative oral temperature greater than or equal to 38.0℃, patients who underwent emergency surgery, patients who died of other reasons other than feverrelated factors, and patients with incomplete data, we finally enrolled a total of 463 patients for final analysis. Depending on whether the patients developed a noninfectious fever after operation, we classified them into the febrile group (n=345, highest oral temperature ranging from 38.0-39.3℃) and the afebrile group (n=118, without postoperative fever). Univariate analysis was performed between these two groups of patients, with respect to demographics, operative data and postoperative conditions. Risk factors for postoperative fever were considered for the multivariate logistic regression model if they had a P value≤0.001 in the univariate analysis. Results After operation, 74.5%(345/463) of the patients had noninfectious fever. The minimum temperature of febrile patients on the operation day and the first postoperative day were both higher than afebrile patients（P=0.000，0.000）. The maximum temperature of febrile patients on the operation day, the first, second，third and fourth postoperative days were also higher than afebrile patients（P=0.000，0.000, 0.047, 0.018）. Univariate analysis demonstrated that weight (P=0.000), surgical type (P=0.000), minimum intraoperative bladder temperature (P=0.000), temperature upon ICU admission (P=0.000) and blood transfusion (P=0.000) were all risk factors for noninfectious postoperative fever. The multivariate logistic regression showed that surgical sites of thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta (odds ratio: 4861; 95% confidence interval: 3.029，5.801; P=0.004), lower minimum intraoperative bladder temperature (odds ratio: 1.117; 95% confidence interval:1.013，1.244;P=0.040) and higher temperature on admission to the ICU (odds ratio: 2.570; 95% confidence interval:1.280，5.182;P=0.008) were significant predictors for postoperative noninfectious fever. Conclusion Noninfectious postoperative fever following aortic surgery is very common. Predictors of noninfectious postoperative fever following aortic surgery include surgical sites (thoracic or thoracoabdominal aorta), low intraoperative core temperature and temperature elevation in the immediate postoperative period.
During the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019, West China Hospital of Sichuan University urgently set up 4 medical tents to conduct centralized screening of fever patients, effectively avoiding cross-infection, and at the same time alleviating the pressure on the Department of Emergency Medicine and improving the efficiency of medical treatment for patients with fever. Later, in order to actively respond to China’s severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection policy, 5 tents were adjusted to carry out the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid detection. This article introduces the function setting, personnel arrangement and protective measures of medical tents in West China Hospital of Sichuan University during the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019. It aims to share the experience of urgently setting up medical tents in the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019, with a view to provide a reference for the construction of medical tents in other medical institutions.
Objective To highlight the characteristics of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia ( AFOP) . Methods The clinical, radiological and pathological data of two patients with AFOP were analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. Results Two male patients with the age of 48 years and 43 years presented with fever, cough, dyspnea and chest pain. The chest CT scan revealed multiple, bilateral, patchy consolidation distributing in peripheral areas in one case and consolidation in the middle lobe of the right lung and a little pleural effusion in another case. Two patients were diagnosed initially as community acquired pneumonia, but antibiotic treatment was ineffective. After the transbronchial lung biopsy and computed tomography guided percutaneous lung biopsy, pathological examination revealed there were numerous fibrin and organizing tissue in the alveoli without pulmonary hyaline membrane, which were consistent with AFOP. The patients showed significant clinical and radiological improvement after corticosteroid therapy. One patient was stable and the other one died of respiratory failure because of relapse during dose reduction of corticosteroids. Conclusions Patients of AFOP were misdiagnosed as pneumonia easily. Treatment with corticosteroids could be effective to some patients. If the antibiotic treatment was ineffective to the patient with fever and consolidation in the lungs, AFOP should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
ObjectiveTo explore the related factors for postoperative fever in patients with ovarian mature teratoma. MethodsA case-control study was conducted, and the subjects were patients with ovarian mature teratoma who had undergone surgical treatment in the hospital where the author works during September 2010 to August 2013. Eighty-eight cases diagnosed as ovarian mature teratoma with postoperative fever were included in the case group and 100 cases diagnosed as ovarian mature teratoma without postoperative fever were included in the control group. The medical records of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsHospital stay of the case group and the control group was (5.68±1.53) and (3.28±1.18) days, respectively. The laparotomy ratio was 38.64% (34/88) and 20.00% (20/100); the tumor diameter was (6.65±3.07) cm and (5.33±1.87) cm, respectively. The difference in the above indicators between the two groups was significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in age, body mass index, body temperature before surgery, preoperative CA199, preoperative tumor torsion, preoperative antibiotics, tumor characteristics (bone, multi-room, bilateral), operative time, blood loss, pelvic adhesions, placing drainage tubes between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionPostoperative fever of ovarian mature teratoma is related to surgical approach and tumor size. Hospital stay is associated with postoperative fever. We should strengthen the gynecological examination. Early detection and reasonable choice of surgical procedures can reduce the incidence of postoperative fever, thus shorten the hospital stay and save medical resources.

Methods The general information and Zung′s self rating anxiety scale (SAS) were taken to analyze 219 patients from early November to early December 2009. Results The average SAS score of the 219 patients was 33.70±8.60, in which there were 17 patients (7.76%) with total scores ≥ 50 and anxiety. Multiple regression analysis showed that the age and temperature were related factors among age, gender, urban-rural differences, and fever. Conclusion The survey suggests that the pafients at the H1N1 influenza peak of fever clinics are significantly more anxious than normal anxiety. Out-patient work should strengthen psychological care to reduce and try to eliminate the anxiety of patients, in order to avoid adverse impact which is not conducive to control influenza outbreaks.

Objective To explore the effect of epidural analgesia for labor on maternal temperature and the newborns. Methods This randomized trial was performed in West China Second Hospital between December 2015 and July 2016. Fifty puerperants were randomly divided into epidural analgesia (EA) group (natural labor under EA, n=25) or the control group (natural labor using Ramaze breathing method, n=25). Maternal tympanic temperature was recorded once per hour after treating with painless labor or blank control. The serum interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) level were measured from the blood of the umbilical cord after the delivery. Apgar scores of the newborns were also recorded. Results There was a significant difference in the temperature between EA and control group one hour after the treatment of painless labor [ (36.9±0.7) and (36.4±0.5)℃]. The level of serum IL-1β and HSP70 were significantly higher in EA group [IL-1β: (0.308±0.036) ng/mL; HSP70: 1.175±0.196] than those in the control group [IL-1β: (0.244±0.031) ng/mL; HSP70: 0.935±0.308] (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the neonatal Apgar score (P>0.05). Conclusions The increase of maternal temperature is greater in the EA labor puerperants compared with that in the controls, which may be related to the increase of IL-1β and HSP70. No adverse effect of labor analgesia on new borns is found
