05), and the lung lesions in the patients with severe disease had partially improved, especially in patients with multi-lobe involvement (χ 2 =3.956, P<0.05). At reexamination, the lung lesions of patients with severe disease did not show significant changes (P>0.05).

The pulmonary CT manifestations of cured COVID-19 patients had certain characteristics and variation patterns, providing a reference for the clinical evaluation of treatment efficacy and prognosis of patients.

To identify risk factors by developing a nomogram for predicting surgical outcomes for female patients who underwent tension free vaginal tape (TVT) for stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Data on 365 patients with pure SUI who underwent TVT at the Shanghai General Hospital between February, 2017 and July, 2018, were retrospectively collected. Within this group, symptoms of patients who were found to have disappeared or have been improved (subjective success group) were compared with symptoms of those patients who were found to have no change or recurrence (subjective failure group). We evaluated the effect of treatment after TVT surgery on SUI patients based upon patient prognosis.

During the study period, 327 women underwent TVT surgery and met the qualifications for inclusion in six-month follow-up consultations and 38 patients were lost. Multivariable logistic regression analysis of risk factors that were important in relation to the failure of surgery indicated two independent predictors total cholesterol (TC) (P=0.005) and maximal urethral closure pressure (MUCP) (P=0.028). We developed a nomogram to predict prognosis after TVT in female patients with SUI using these parameters.

We developed a predictive model for preoperative estimation of prognosis in female patients who underwent TVT based treatment for SUI. This model could select patients who were found to have successful postoperative outcomes, which can lead to a rational therapeutic choice.

As the use of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) in the international market increases, the number of clinical studies including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of CHM which published in international journals has also increased. Using bibliometrics, we systematically and comprehensively analyzed the research status of CHM RCTs published in English during the period of 2010 to 2019.

Electronic searches in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were undertaken. CHM RCTs published in English between January 2010 and December 2019 were included. We randomly selected 20% from the eligible articles. Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out by extracting information on general information, characteristics of the study participants, interventions, outcomes, and risk of bias assessment of included RCTs.

Two hundred and twenty-seven CHM RCTs published in English were included in our study. Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine was the journal which published most of the relevant papers (22.0%).r results provided insight into the research status regarding CHM RCTs published in English during the past decade, this study may be helpful in understanding research trends in this field.

To investigate the duration of antibiotic therapy and its influencing factors in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP).

Clinical data of SLE patients with HABP from January 2015 to December 2019 were collected. Selleckchem alpha-Naphthoflavone Duration of antibiotic treatment and its correlations with the severity of pneumonia, status of SLE and the time to clinical stability (TCS) were analysed. A logistic regression model was performed to screen the risk factors influencing the total antibiotic treatment course >7 days.

Three hundred and forty-four patients were finally enrolled in the study and the mean duration of total antibiotic therapy was 9.5 days. The TCS was related to the duration of antibiotic therapy (R2 =0.76, P<0.0001). More patients with multidrug-resistant pathogen infection and Candida colonization were found in the total duration >7 days group. SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) [odds ratio (OR) =5.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.59-7.28], taking immunosuppressants during HABP treatment (OR =5.29, 95% CI 3.93-7.09) and multidrug-resistant pathogen infection (OR =4.91, 95% CI 1.45-6.87) were greatly impacted risk factors (P<0.05, respectively).

The duration of antibiotic therapy in SLE patients with HABP was longer than the course recommended by practice guidelines. The severity of the disease and the host's immune status might influence the duration of treatment.

Ophthalmic surgery is invasive, and treatment efficacy is affected by a variety of factors. We aimed to analyze perioperative treatment compliance, anxiety and depression of elderly patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery and the influential factors.

The study group comprised 119 elderly patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery between March 2018 and March 2020. Clinical and treatment compliance data of all patients were collected. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were administered to all patients, and logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis.

During the perioperative period the 119 elderly patients had a mean SAS score of 65.13±14.36, and SDS score of 61.94±17.39. Treatment compliance was as follows 76 cases of complete compliance, 25 of incomplete compliance, and 18 of complete non-compliance. Economic status, complications, treatment options and levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 are independent risk factors that affected the compliance of elderly patients undergoing ophthalmology surgery (P<0.
