Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a rare type of autoimmune inflammatory myopathy, which can be divided into anti-signal recognition particle antibody positive IMNM, anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase antibody positive IMNM and serum antibody negative IMNM according to different autoantibodies. The prognosis of IMNM is worse than that of most other types of myositis. At present, there are differences in the studies of prognostic factors of IMNM at home and abroad, and there is a lack of large-scale clinical studies. This article will review the prognostic factors of IMNM.
Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical features of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in intensive care unit (ICU), so as to improve the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods A total of 81 patients diagnosed as IPA from March, 2017 to March, 2022 in the ICU of The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China were selected as infection group. A total of 81 non-IPA patients with pulmonary infection and Aspergillus negative sputum culture were selected as the control group. The host factors, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Assessment Ⅱ score at admission, underlying diseases, clinical symptoms and signs, relevant laboratory test results, and lung CT findings were compared between the two groups. Univariate analysis and multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis were used to identify the risk factors for the occurrence of pulmonary aspergillosis in IPA patients in ICU. At the same time, the types of aspergillus in the IPA group and the outcomes of the two groups at 28 days after ICU admission were analyzed. Results Of the 81 IPA patients, 4 were proven diagnosed and 77 were putative diagnosed. IPA patients were mainly infected with Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus. Symptoms and signs such as fever, cough and expectoration, dyspnea and pulmonary rales occurred in both groups. The level of procalcitonin in IPA group was higher than that in non-IPA group, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.016). The positive rate of serum galactomannan antigen test (GM test) in the IPA group was higher than that in the non-IPA group, and the differences was statistically significant (P=0.000). The incidence of pulmonary imaging cavities in IPA group was higher than that in non-IPA group, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.022). Univariate analysis showed that central venous catheterization, septic shock, complete parenteral nutrition, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and immunosuppression were risk factors for IPA (P<0.05); Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed that complete parenteral nutrition, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and immunosuppression were independent risk factors for IPA (P<0.05). The 28-day fatality rate in IPA group was higher than that in non-IPA group (55.6% vs. 34.6%, P=0.007). Conclusions IPA patients have no specific clinical symptoms and signs, and are mainly infected with Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus; GM test has guiding significance for the diagnosis of IPA. Serum GM test and pulmonary imaging have cavity findings that are helpful for the diagnosis of IPA. Patients with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunosuppression, or complete parenteral nutrition need to be on high alert for the possibility of IPA during ICU stay.
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the correlation between interpersonal stress and suicidal ideation. MethodsThe PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were searched to collect studies on the correlation between interpersonal pressure and suicidal ideation from database inception to April 27, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 14.0 software. ResultsA total of 42 studies including 3 cohort studies, and 39 cross-sectional studies, with a total sample size of 193 810 participants were included. Meta-analysis showed that the risk of suicidal ideation was higher in people who had experienced interpersonal pressure than in people who had not (OR=2.11, 95%CI 1.99 to 2.23, P<0.01). Subgroup analysis showed that people in the Americas who had experienced interpersonal pressure were more strongly associated with suicidal ideation than people in other regions of the studied area. Young adults in the study who had experienced interpersonal pressure were more strongly associated with suicidal ideation than other studied age groups; People who had experienced partner pressure were more strongly associated with suicidal ideation than those who had experienced other types of interpersonal pressure. ConclusionThis study shows that people who have experienced interpersonal pressure are at greater risk of suicidal ideation, and there are certain differences among study areas, subjects and types of interpersonal pressure. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
