Objective To summarize the experience of open heart operation on neonates with critical and complex congenital heart diseases and evaluate the methods of perioperative management. Methods From May 2001 to January 2003, 12 patients of neonates with congenital heart diseases underwent emergency operation. Their operating ages ranged from 6 to 30 days, the body weights were 2.8 to 4.5 kg. Their diagnoses included D-transposition of the great arteries in 4 cases, ventricular septal defect with atrial septal defect in 5 cases, complete atrioventricular septal defect, obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and cardiac rhabdomyomas in 1 case respectively. 12 cases were operated under moderate or deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Results All cases were observed in ICU for 2-11 days and discharged 7-19 days after operation. The postoperative complications included low cardiac output, mediastinal infection, respiratory distress syndrome, systemic capillary leak syndrome and acute renal failure. All cases were cured and the follow-up (from 6 months to 2 years) showed satisfactory outcome. Conclusion A particular cardiopulmonary bypass and proper perioperative management is very important to ensure the successful outcome. Peritoneal dialysis is an effective and safe method for treating acute renal failure after cardiac operation in neonates.
Most patients with end-stage renal disease choose maintenance hemodialysis to prolong survival. The clinical application of exercise therapy has a definite effect on maintenance hemodialysis patients, and can effectively improve their quality of life and promote rehabilitation. Individualized exercise therapy under the guidance of medical professionals has positive effects on patients’ physical and mental rehabilitation. This paper mainly summarizes the status of exercise, factors affecting exercise, exercise therapy, exercise and rehabilitation of maintenance hemodialysis patients, and reviews the impact of exercise therapy on the physical and mental health of maintenance hemodialysis patients, in order to provide some references for clinical intervention and prognosis studies.
ObjectiveTo study the clinical characteristics of elderly hemodialysis (HD) patients and discuss how to control their complications, in order to improve their quality of life and lower their mortality rate. MethodContrastive study and analysis were performed on the clinical data of 98 maintenance HD patients (between elderly and young HD patients) between January 2013 and January 2014. Complications, rate of hospitalization and mortality were analyzed during the follow-up of one year. ResultsThe ratio of hypertensive kidney disease and diabetic nephropathy, as primary disease of the elderly HD patients, gradually increased. More people chose to use semi-permanent jugular vein catheter for elderly HD patients. Compared with young HD patients, the levels of hemoglobin, albumin, serum creatinine, KT/v were lower in the elderly patients, and C-reactive protein was much higher (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in cholesterol, triglyceride, calcium, phosphorus, parathormone between the two groups (P>0.05). Dialysis-related hypotension and blocking of vascular access occurred more frequently in elderly HD patients. Hospitalization rate and mortality rate were higher in elderly HD patients (P<0.05). ConclusionsImproving nutritional status, keeping vascular access unobstructed for a long time and decreasing complications related to hemodialysis are helpful for elderly HD patients to enhance their quality of life and reduce the mortality rate.
ObjectiveTo compare the incidences of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis among HIV and non-HIV patients, and to analyze the risk factors of PD-associated peritonitis. MethodsEnd-stage renal disease patients with HIV infection who newly started PD in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2012 to 2020 were retrospectively included, and non-HIV PD patients in the same period were included as controls at a ratio of 1 to 4. The risk factors of PD-associated peritonitis were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and COX regression analysis were used to compare the peritonitis-free survival between HIV group and non-HIV group. ResultsA total of 60 PD patients were included. The average follow-up time was 31.2±21.3 months. Peritonitis occurred in 7 HIV patients (58.33%) and 8 non-HIV patients (16.67%). Logistic regression analysis showed that HIV infection (P=0.018) and high platelet (>150×109/L) (P=0.032) were independent risk factors for PD-associated peritonitis. The incidence of PD-associated peritonitis in HIV patients significantly increased (HR=10.944, 95%CI 1.503 to 79.707). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the 5-year peritonitis-free survival of non-HIV group was significantly higher than that of HIV group (75.7% vs. 31.1%) (P=0.003). Multivariate COX survival analysis showed that the 5-year accumulative risk of peritonitis in HIV PD patients was 5.896 times (95%CI 1.508 to 23.043, P=0.01) higher than that of the non-HIV PD patients. ConclusionHIV infection is an independent risk factor for PD-associated peritonitis.
Objective To explore the current status of electronic health (eHealth) literacy and online health information seeking behavior of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and to explore the relationship between them. Methods MHD patients in the Hemodialysis Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January and April 2022 were selected by convenient sampling method. The patients were investigated with general condition questionnaire, eHealth Literacy Scale and internet health information retrieval behavior questionnaire. According to the score of eHealth literacy, patients were divided into high eHealth literacy group and low eHealth literacy group, to compare the differences between the two groups, and analyze the factors that affected the internet health information retrieval behavior. Results A total of 194 MHD patients were included. Among them, 112 were male and 82 were female. The average score of eHealth literacy was 24.84±9.24. There were 136 cases in low eHealth literacy group, and the average score of eHealth literacy was 20.76±7.91. There were 58 cases in high eHealth literacy group, and the average score of eHealth literacy was 34.36±3.01. Multivariate analysis showed that eHealth literacy and education level were the influencing factors of health information search behavior (P<0.05). Conclusions The overall eHealth literacy of MHD patients is low, and the online health information search means is single and behaviorally inconsistent. It is necessary to improve the eHealth literacy of hemodialysis patients, and at the same time, provide various health information publicity and education for patients with different levels of eHealth literacy, which will help them better carry out disease management.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) after bee sting. Methods A prospective observational analysis was made on patients with AKI after bee sting treated in Jianyang People’s Hospital or West China Hospital of Sichuan University between July 2015 and December 2020. According to different initial renal replacement therapy modes, the patients were divided into IHD group and CRRT group. The IHD group received hemodialysis for 4 hours each time, once a day or 3-5 times a week; the CRRT group used Prismaflex machine for continuous veno-venous hemofiltration or continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration within 72 hours after admission, for at least 12 hours a day, followed by CRRT or IHD, depending on the patient’s condition. Both groups could be treated with hemoperfusion (HP) and symptomatic support such as glucocorticoid, blood transfusion and fluid rehydration. The IHD group was divided into IHD subgroup and IHD+HP subgroup, and the CRRT group was divided into CRRT subgroup and CRRT+HP subgroup according to whether renal replacement therapy was combined with HP. The basic information of patients and clinical laboratory examination results were collected, and the renal function recovery and mortality rates of patients in the two groups were compared, as well as the changes of laboratory indicators. Results A total of 106 patients were enrolled, 50 in the IHD group and 56 in the CRRT group. There was no statistical difference in the rate of complete renal function recovery 30, 60, or 90 days after treatment between the two groups (28.2% vs. 31.2%, P=0.758; 46.2% vs. 50.0%, P=0.721; 82.1% vs. 81.2%, P=0.924). But in the CRRT subgroup analysis, there was a statistical difference in the 30-day renal function recovery rate of CRRT+HP patients compared with CRRT alone (47.6% vs. 18.5%, P=0.031), while no statistical difference was found in the IHD subgroup analysis. After 3 days of treatment, the levels of creatine kinase of the IHD+HP subgroup and the CRRT+HP subgroup were lower than those in the IHD and CRRT subgroups, and the differences were statistically significant [(7875±6871) vs. (15157±8546) U/L, P=0.026; (10002±8256) vs. (14498±10362) U/L, P=0.032]. There was no statistical difference in 30-day mortality or incidence of serious adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions There is no obvious difference in improving renal prognosis or reducing mortality between CRRT and IHD for patients with AKI after bee sting. However, CRRT combined with HP therapy could shorten the recovery time of renal function and increase the 30-day kidney recovery rate. HP may contribute to early renal function recovery in patients with AKI after bee sting, but more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to further confirm this.

Objective To investigate the correlation between grip strength and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients of different genders. Methods Patients who underwent outpatient MHD in the Wenjiang Hemodialysis Unit, Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between March and June 2024 were selected as the research subjects. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between grip strength and SCD in MHD patients of different genders. Results A total of 171 patients were investigated, with 76 in the non-SCD group and 95 in the SCD group. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational level (P=0.039), nutritional status (P=0.026), and grip strength (P=0.042) were the influencing factors of SCD in male MHD patients. Work status (P=0.001) and nutritional status (P=0.011) were the influencing factors of SCD in female MHD patients. Conclusions Educational level, nutritional status, and grip strength are influencing factors of SCD in male MHD patients. Work status and nutritional status are influencing factors of SCD in female MHD patients. Grip strength may serve as an indicator for evaluating SCD in male MHD patients.
