Development and Validation Nomogram for Predicting the Survival of Patients with Thrombocytopenia in Intensive Care Units.

Background: The number of patients with thrombocytopenia (TCP) is relatively high in intensive care units (ICUs). It is therefore necessary to evaluate the prognostic risk of such patients.

Aim: This study investigated the risk factors affecting the survival of patients with TCP in the ICU.

Daily point-of-care ultrasound-assessment of central venous catheter-related thrombosis in critically ill patients: a prospective multicenter study.

Purpose: Central venous catheter (CVC)-related thrombosis (CRT) is a known complication in critically ill patients. However, its clinical significance remains unclear. The objective of the study was to evaluate the occurrence and evolution of CRT from CVC insertion to removal.

Establishment of risk nomogram prediction model for venous catheter thrombosis.

Background: Venous catheters are widely used in clinical practice, but a drawback of their usage is the increased risk of thrombosis.

Aims: The current study explored the risk factors affecting the formation of thrombosis following venous catheterization and establishes a risk nomogram prediction model for catheter-related thrombosis.

Methods: Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out to identify the independent factors involved in venous catheter thrombosis.

A Survey of the Relationship Between Trait Anxiety and Mental Resilience of Marathoners in China.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between trait anxiety and mental resilience in marathoners and the general population. The study recruited 135 marathoners and 140 members of the general population. Trait anxiety and mental resilience were measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Scale and the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.

Early use of high-dose vitamin C is beneficial in treatment of sepsis.

Purpose: Vitamin C has shown benefits in patients with sepsis in addition to standard therapy recently. However, further evidence is required to verify the efficacy of vitamin C in clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate the effect of adjunctive intravenous high-dose vitamin C treatment on hospital mortality in patients with sepsis.

The global effects of PmRunt co-located and co-expressed with a lincRNA lncRunt in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii.

Runt related transcription factors as trans-acting elements play critical roles in the developmental control of cell fate, hematopoiesis, bone formation and cancers. In previous study, the homologue of runt related transcription factor PmRunt has been identified from pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii and considered to play an important role in nacre formation. In this study, we used the same samples to perform RNA-seq to detect the global effects after the decrease of PmRunt expression.
