The Value of Different Systemic Inflammatory Response Indicators in the Long-term Prognosis of Type B Aortic Dissection Patients Undergoing Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair.

Background: The aim of this study is to explore the value of different systemic inflammatory response indicators in the long-term prognosis of type B aortic dissection (TBAD) patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the case data of 540 patients with TBAD at our center from January 2013 to January 2019. Based on the occurrence of aorta-related adverse events (ARAEs) during follow-up, patients were divided into two groups: the ARAEs group and the non-ARAEs group.

Lactobacillus gasseri LGV03 isolated from the cervico-vagina of HPV-cleared women modulates epithelial innate immune responses and suppresses the growth of HPV-positive human cervical cancer cells.

Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections is necessary for the development of cervical cancers. An increasing number of retrospective studies have found the depletion of Lactobacillus microbiota in the cervico-vagina facilitate HPV infection and might be involved in viral persistence and cancer development. However, there have been no reports confirming the immunomodulatory effects of Lactobacillus microbiota isolated from cervico-vaginal samples of HPV clearance in women.

Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block for Quality of Recovery Following Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Erector spinae plane block, a novel ultrasound-guided fascial plane block, has become popular for perioperative pain management. This randomized controlled trial tested the hypothesis that preoperative bilateral erector spinae plane block improves the quality of recovery in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion.

Methods: Eighty-four patients scheduled for elective posterior lumbar interbody fusion were enrolled.

The alteration and potential relationship of vaginal microbiota and chemokines for unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion.

The diagnosis and treatment of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) is an important and hot topic in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. During our clinical investigation (observation), we have found that URSA patients usually experience recurrent vaginitis or vaginal dysbacteriosis during periods of non-pregnancy, pregnancy, and post-abortion. However, there is no research on vaginal dysbacteriosis's influence on URSA.

Prognostic role of time to positivity of blood culture in children with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia.

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major Gram-negative pathogen, which has been reported to result in high mortality. We aim to investigate the prognostic value and optimum cut-off point of time-to-positivity (TTP) of blood culture in children with P.

Correction to: Time to positivity of Klebsiella pneumoniae in blood culture as prognostic indicator for pediatric bloodstream infections.

The authors regrets that there is a typo error on the Abbreviation section of their published paper. "Area under the curve" should have been abbreviated to "AUC" instead of "A". The authors have requested that this be noted.

Time to positivity of Klebsiella pneumoniae in blood culture as prognostic indicator for pediatric bloodstream infections.

The aim of this study is to explore the prognostic values and optimal cutoff point of time to positivity (TTP) of blood culture in children with Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) bloodstream infection. Ninety-four children with K.

[Predictive factors for failure of continuous positive airway pressure treatment in infants with bronchiolitis].

Objective: To study the predictive factors for the failure of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in infants with bronchiolitis.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 310 hospitalized children (aged 1-12 months) with bronchiolitis treated with CPAP. Their clinical features were compared between the successful treatment group (270 cases) and the failed treatment group (40 cases).

Effects of Delayed Antibiotic Therapy on Outcomes in Children with Sepsis.

Delayed antimicrobial therapy is associated with poor outcomes in sepsis, but the optimal antibiotic administration time remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of the time of antimicrobial administration on outcomes and evaluate an optimal empirical antibiotic administration time window for children with sepsis. This retrospective study enrolled children with sepsis who presented to the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2011 to December 2018.

Prognostic roles of time to positivity of blood culture in children with Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia.

We aimed to investigate the relationship between time to positivity (TTP) of blood cultures and clinical outcomes in children with S. pneumoniae bacteremia. Children with S.

Influence of Ultrafine Particles Exposure on Asthma Exacerbation in Children: A Meta-Analysis.

Background: Air pollution is a major cause of asthma exacerbation. Most studies have shown that exposure to coarse and fine particulate matter is associated with asthma exacerbation. Ultrafine particles (UFPs, aerodynamic diameter ≤ 0.
