ABSTRACT
Oligoasthenospermia is the primary cause of infertility. However, there are still enormous challenges in the screening of critical candidates and targets of oligoasthenospermia owing to its complex mechanism. In this study, stem cell factor (SCF), c-kit, and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) biosensors were successfully established and applied to studying apoptosis and autophagy mechanisms. Interestingly, the detection limit reached 2.787 × 10-15 g/L, and the quantitative limit reached 1.0 × 10-13 g/L. Furthermore, biosensors were used to investigate the interplay between autophagy and apoptosis. Schisandrin A is an excellent candidate to form a system with c-kit similar to SCF/c-kit with a detection constant (KD) of 5.701 × 10-11 mol/L, whereas it had no affinity for SCF. In addition, it also inhibited autophagy in oligoasthenospermia through antagonizing TRPV1 with a KD of up to 4.181 × 10-10 mol/L. In addition, in vivo and in vitro experiments were highly consistent with the biosensor. In summary, high-potency schisandrin A and two potential targets were identified, through which schisandrin A could reverse the apoptosis caused by excessive autophagy during oligoasthenospermia. Our study provides promising insights into the discovery of effective compounds and potential targets via a well-established in vitro-in vivo strategy.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate the effect of physical therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating the syndrome of lung and spleen qi deficiency in children at asthma remission stage and the effect on serological indicators. 【Methods】 A total of 130 children with asthma in remission treated in our hospital from May 2018 to May 2020 were selected and randomly divided into combination group (n=65) and physical group (n=65). The physical group was treated with physical therapy and Montelukaste sodium chewable tablet, while the combination group was treated with Xiaoqinglong Decoction based on soil preparation and gold generation method. Both groups were treated for three months. The scores of chest tightness (attack), cough, asthma and laryngeal wheezing were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The average score of TCM syndrome was recorded before treatment (T0), 1, 2 and 3 months after treatment (T1, T2 and T3), and 6 and 9 months after treatment (T4 and T5). Serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), immunoglobulin (IgE) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) were detected before and after treatment. 【Results】 After treatment, the total effective rate in the combination group (86.15%) was higher than that in the physical group (73.85%) (χ2=4.333, P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores of asthma, laryngeal phlegm were significantly lower in the combination group than in the physical group (P<0.05). The average score of TCM syndrome in T3, T4 and T5 combination group was lower than that in the physical group (t=3.167, 3.317, 4.168, 4.267, P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of IL-6, IgE and TNF-α were decreased (P<0.05), and the levels of IgE and TNF-α in the combination group were lower than those in the physical group (t=12.164, 5.136, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Physical therapy combined with Xiaoqinglong Decoction can improve clinical symptoms and regulate immunity of children at asthma remission stage.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the degree of bronchial asthma (BA) in adults, and to analyze the potential relationship between the two. Methods A retrospective study was used to collect 90 patients with BA patients who were admitted to Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to June 2022. All patients received polysomnography (PSG) to calculate the apnea hypopnea index (AHI). Patients were divided into mild OSAS (AHI30) according to AHI value. In addition, BA related indicators of patients were measured, such as forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), FEV1%, FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC), exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), total airway resistance (R5), central airway resistance (R20) and peripheral elastic resistance (X5). Analysis of variance was used to compare the differences in BA related indicators in patients with different degrees of OSAS, and Pearson linear correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between AHI and the measured values of BA indicators. Results There was 1 case (1.11%) in AHI30. There was no difference in gender composition among different AHI groups, but the AHI value of BA patients aged 70 years and above was higher, and the age difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of different AHI groups showed that the patients with moderate to severe OSAS received higher step-up treatment for asthma, most of which were in step 3 and step 4, with a statistically significant difference (2=90.085，P<0.001). The variance analysis results showed that the more severe the OSAS, the lower the ratio of FEV1/FVC (%) (F=2.600, P=0.011), and the higher the FeNO and R5 measurements values (F=-6.454 , F=-3.291, P<0.001). Pearson linear correlation analysis showed that AHI was negatively correlated with FEV1% (r=-0.356, P<0.05) and FEV1/FVC% (r=-0.289, P<0.001), but AHI was positively correlated with R5 (r=0.447, P<0.05). Conclusion BA patients with OSAS have significantly abnormal respiratory function-related indicators, and with the aggravation of OSAS, BA will further deteriorate
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the radiation protection effect of furosemide intervention on 18F-2-deoxy-D-glucose ( 18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. Methods:A total of 146 patients were randomly divided into two groups, with test group of 74 patients and control group of 72. The test group was administrated orally with furosemide of 40 mg for each one before injection, while the normal control group did not undergo special treatment. 60 and 120 min after 18F-FDG injection, the horizontal measurement of ambient dose equivalent rates was carried out at 0.5 m from the front of both chest and abdomen respectively. Results:For the test group, the ambient dose equivalent rates were measured to be (30.80±8.61) and (41.38±11.06) μSv/h 60 min after injection of 18F-FDG whereas (18.26±4.85) and (24.66±6.50) μSv/h 120 min after injection, respectively, both lower than in the control group and with statistically significant difference between the both ( t =15.36, 13.13, 18.73, 17.29, P<0.05) . No significant difference was found between mediastinal SUV max and liver SUV max in the experimental group and control group ( P>0.05) . Multivariate ANOVA showed that body surface area was a major factor influencing ambient dose equivalent rate regardless of furosemide injection ( t=-13.52, 2.96, P<0.05) , and no obvious effects of age and sex on ambient dose equivalence rate were found. Conclusions:Furosemide intervention can promote urination, effectively reduce the internal radiation exposure of the examinated patietns in the premise of not affecting the image quality, and therefore provide a better radiation protection effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of forkhead box protein A2(FOXA2) on cell proliferation, migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma and the potential molecular mechanism.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, 10 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma patients from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were collected for study, including 7 males and 3 females, with an average age of 53 years. FOXA2 expression was detected in human liver cancer cell line, and the highest expression of FOXA2 was found in HepG2 cells transfected with FOXA2 overexpression plasmid. Immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR were used to detect the expression of FOXA2. Western blot was used to detect the expression of FOXA2, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), B-cell lymphofactor-2 (Bcl-2), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 7, and glucose transporter (GLUT) 1. EdU assay was used to study cell proliferation, and Transwell chamber assay was used to study cell migration and invasion.Results:The relative expression of FOXA2 in liver cancer tissues were lower than those in adjacent tissues both at mRNA and protein levels, with statistical significance (both P<0.05). FOXA2 overexpression group showed lower cell proliferation rate (30.0±3.2)%, migration rate (10.6±1.1), and invasion rate (12.8±0.8) comparing with negative control group (67.0±3.6)%, (81.0±5.4), (74.8±4.5). The difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Expression of HIF-1α and its downstream targets VEGFA, MMP7, GLUT1 and Bcl-2 was decreased after over-expression of FOXA2 in HepG2 cells. Conclusion:FOXA2 inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating HIF-1α signaling pathway, suggesting that FOXA2 is a potential target for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To analyze the effect of blood component transfusion when the results of direct antiglobulin test (DAT) changed from negative to positive after blood transfusion. 【Methods】 The data of 215 surgical blood recipients, who were admitted in our hospital from January to October 2019 and presented negative results for both DAT and irregular antibody screening (Anti-screening), were collected via Ruimei Laboratory Management System. DAT and Anti-screening were performed again after blood transfusion, and DAT positive patients(re-test positive group) were then subject to antibody classification and polybrene cross-matching (referred to as cross-matching), and Anti-screening positive patients were tested for irregular antibodies. Patients were stratified by perioperative RBCs transfusion volume as ≤4 U (150 ± 10% mL/U), >4 to 8 U and > 8 U, and DAT-negative patients after blood transfusion were set as the controls, and the transfusion effect of DAT-positive patients after blood transfusion was compared with them. 【Results】 8.84% (19/215) of DAT-negative patients turned positive after RBCs transfusion, among which IgG type accounted for 84.21% (16/19) and IgG+ C3 15.79% ( 3/19); two patients(anti-E and-M, 10.53%) were positive in anti-screening re-test and the rest were negative (89.47%, 17/19). As for cross matching, incompatibility of both primary and secondary side, primary side and secondary side accounted for 5.26% (1/19), 5.26% (1/19) and 10.52 (2/19), respectively, while 78.95% (15/19) showed compatibility of both primary and secondary side. The Hb, RBC and Hct values of the re-test positive group, received RBC transfusion volume (U)≤4 and >4~8, were effectively elevated compared with the controls (P8 U(P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The conversion of DAT negative results to positive after RBC transfusion indicates the patient has developed antibodies or the incidence of blood transfusion reaction, which can provide references for the clinical choice of appropriate blood components to ensure the safety and effectiveness of blood transfusion.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the multivariate logistic regression analysis and imaging characteristics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.Methods:From February 2017 to February 2019, 73 patients with COPD complicated with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis admitted to the Hangzhou Dajiangdong Hospital were selected as observation group, and 81 COPD patients without invasive pulmonary aspergillosis admitted to the Hangzhou Dajiangdong Hospital from February 2017 to February 2019 were selected as control group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of COPD with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, and to observe the imaging characteristics of COPD with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.Results:Univariate analysis showed that there were no statistically significant differences in sex, age, course of disease, combined with underlying diseases and smoking history between the two groups (all P>0.05); there were statistically significant differences in long-term hormone use, hypoproteinemia, long-term antibiotics use and invasive operation between the two groups (χ 2=32.372, 16.593, 36.671, 21.566, all P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that long-term use of hormones, hypoproteinemia, antibiotics and invasive manipulation were independent risk factors for COPD complicated with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis ( OR=1.685, 95% CI: 1.208-2.142, OR=2.546, 95% CI: 1.682-3.981, OR=2.984, 95% CI: 1.982-4.653, OR=2.109, 95% CI: 1.462-3.241, all P<0.05). The main clinical manifestations of COPD with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis were cough, sputum, chest pain and dyspnea.The main imaging manifestation of COPD with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis was non-specific infiltration, accounting for 50.68%(37/73). Conclusion:COPD complicated with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is affected by many factors.The main clinical manifestations are cough, sputum, chest pain and dyspnea, and the main imaging manifestation is non-specific infiltration shadow.
ABSTRACT
2019-nCoV has spread rapidly around the world, posing a major threat to global public health systems. This is the third time that a highly pathogenic coronavirus has emerged in the human population during the past 20 years. Researchers have conducted a number of studies since the coronavirus epidemic broke out, but there are no specific drugs or vaccines for coronavirus. Therefore, further systematic research on coronavirus is still needed. This review focused on the structure, life cycle and pathogenesis of coronavirus and summarized the current progress in detection approaches, treatment strategies and vaccines for COVID-19 with a view to provide references for further research.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical features and risk factors of feeding intolerance in premature infants.Methods:This is a retrospective study involving premature infants who were hospitalized in Peking University Third Hospital from January to December 2017. Those in the feeding intolerance group (FI group) were further divided into subgroups of gestational age (GA) < 31 weeks group and GA ≥ 31 weeks group, as well as birth weight (BW)<1 250 g group and BW≥1 250 g group. Medical records of all subjects were reviewed to retrieve relevant clinical information. Independent-samples t-test, Chi-square test, and logistic regression tests were used for statistical analysis. Results:There were 612 eligible subjects with 182 (29.7%) in the FI group and 430 (70.3%) in the feeding tolerance (FT) group. (1) In the FI group, there were 103 (56.6%) males and 79 (43.4%) females with an average GA of (30.6±2.3) weeks and BW of (1 298±417) g, and 134 (73.6%) were very low birth weight premature infants. Among the patients with FI, there were 93 in the GA<31 weeks group and 89 in the GA≥31 weeks group, and 93 in the BW<1 250 g group and 89 in the BW≥1 250 g group. The FI infants accounted for 63.2% of very low birth weight premature infants in the same period. (2) The age at diagnosis was (2.7±0.9) d and (13.2±6.9) d at recovery. And the duration of FI was (10.5±6.7) d. The main symptoms were gastric retention (100.0%, 182/182), abdominal distention (54.4%, 98/182) and vomiting (17.0%, 31/182). (3) FI in preterm infants with GA <31 weeks or BW <1 250 g occurred and disappeared later [GA subgroups: (2.4±0.8) vs (2.9±0.9) d, t=3.977 and (10.4±5.2) vs (16.0±7.3) d, t=5.935; BW subgroups: (2.5±0.9) vs (2.8±0.9) d, t=2.540 and (10.0±4.5) vs (16.3±7.4) d, t=6.951; all P<0.05] and had a longer duration than those with GA≥31 weeks or BW≥1 250 g [GA subgroups: (8.0±5.0) vs (13.0±7.3) d, t=5.450; BW subgroups: (7.5±4.3) vs (13.5±7.3) d, t=6.690; both P<0.05]. Premature infants with smaller GA took longer time to regain their birth weight [(9.4±4.1) vs (12.0±5.1) d, t=3.672, P<0.05] and those with lower BW were less likely to have symptom of vomiting [23.6% (21/89) vs 10.8% (10/93), χ2=5.308, P<0.05]. (4) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BW was a protective factor for FI in premature infants ( OR=0.998, 95% CI: 0.997-0.998, P<0.001) and the independent risk factors for FI were neonatal respiratory distress syndrome ( OR=2.129, 95% CI: 1.163-3.897, P=0.014), multifetation ( OR=1.812, 95% CI: 1.116-2.941, P=0.016), caffeine citrate exposure within 48 h after birth ( OR=2.663, 95% CI: 1.619-4.381, P<0.001), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment within 48 h after birth ( OR=5.211, 95% CI: 2.861-9.489, P<0.001) and intrauterine infection ( OR=1.988, 95% CI: 1.060-3.728, P=0.032). Conclusions:The incidence of feeding intolerance in premature infants is high. Premature infants with GA <31 weeks or BW <1 250 g may develop FI and recover at an older age, and suffer longer. Low BW, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, multifetation, caffeine citrate exposure, or CPAP treatment within 48 h after birth and intrauterine infection are risk factors for FI in premature infants.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the influence of levosimendan on cardiac function, pulmonary hypertensions, renal function of the patients after severe heart surgery. METHODS: A total of 320 cases of patients with severe disease who underwent surgery in cardiac surgery department in our hospital from January 2014 to June 2019 were selected and divided into experiment group and control group using random number table method, 160 cases in each group. The prosthetic heart valve replacement or non-extracorporeal bypass surgery were underwent based on the specific condition of patient, the experiment group received levosimendan during the perioperation at the same time. The changes of cardiac, renal function parameters and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) at different times before and after operation were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in HR, MAP and CVP between the two groups 24 h after operation. LAC of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group 12 h and 24 h after operation (P0.05), the levels of serum BUN, 24Upro and Scr increased first and then decreased in the control group, and the experiment group was significantly lower than the control group at the same time point (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the postoperative mortality, ICU stay, ventilator and IABP support time in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Levosimendan after cardiac surgery can effectively improve the postoperative cardiac function of severe patients, protect renal injury caused by low perfusion, and reduce the incidence of early postoperative pulmonary hypertension, which is worthy of clinical reference.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To assess the cognitive level of first aid knowledge regarding the small area burn among the child caregivers in Shanghai and improve the level of first aid for small area burn in children.@*Methods@#From November 2017 to March 2018, 7 municipal districts in Shanghai were selected according to the random number table, from which 2 750 students of 4 nurseries, 5 kindergartens, 6 primary schools, and 2 junior middle schools were selected by adopting the convenience sampling method. Each student was limited to one caregiver as the research object. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on the cognitive level of first aid knowledge regarding small area burn among the caregivers with self-designed questionnaire through WeChat and Tencent QQ. The age, burn experience, and scarring after burns in children, the prevalence rate of burn in children of different age groups, the educational background of caregivers and their social relationship with their children, and the measures taken by caregivers firstly after small area burn occurred among their children were recorded. The choices of applying the folk prescription drugs to the wounds of their children made by caregivers and those with different educational backgrounds were recorded. The choices of applying daily necessities to the wound of their children made by caregivers were recorded. The caregivers′ knowledge of standard first aid measures for small area burn, and the knowledge of caregivers with different educational backgrounds of all standard first aid measures for small area burn were recorded. The caregivers′ choices of hospitals for treatment the first time, and the choices of going to the Grade Ⅲ Level A hospital with burn specialty for treatment made by caregivers with different knowledge levels about first aid measures for small area burn and those by caregivers whose children did or didn′t have burn experience were recorded. The caregivers′ choices of different types of medical institutions with burn specialty or specialized in burn treatment, and choices of going to burn department of comprehensive Grade Ⅲ Level A hospital for treatment made by caregivers with different knowledge levels about first aid measures for small area burn were recorded. Data were processed with Pearson chi-square test and partitions of chi-square test.@*Results@#The effective recovery rate of questionnaire was 99.0% (2 723/2 750). The ages of children were mainly 6-11 years [64.7% (1 762/2 723)]The prevalence of burn in children was 19.4% (527/2 723). There was no statistically significant difference in the overall comparison of burn prevalence of children among the age groups (χ2=1.424, P>0.05). The percentage of scar formation after burn in children was 27.3% (144/527). The education backgrounds of caregivers were mainly undergraduate [40.2% (1 094/2 723)], and their social relationships with children were mainly children′s mothers [74.6% (2 030/2 723)]. Assuming that their children suffered from minor burns, the measures firstly taken by 74.0% (2 016/2 723) of the caregivers was to immediately access cool running water and remove clothing on the wound of children. Totally 19.2% (523/2 723) of the caregivers chose to apply folk prescription drugs for their burn children by themselves, and the percentage of caregivers with education background of junior middle school choosing to apply folk prescription drugs for their burn children by themselves was significantly higher than that of caregivers with education background of junior college, undergraduate, or graduate (χ2=18.502, 20.642, 13.319, P<0.05). Totally 49.2% (1 340/2 723) of caregivers chose to daub many kinds of daily necessities for their burn children by themselves. Totally 39.2% (1 068/2 723) of caregivers knew all standard first aid measures for small area burn, the percentage of caregivers with education background of undergraduate knowing all standard first aid measures for small area burn was significantly higher than that of caregivers with education background of senior high school and secondary specialized school (χ2=11.234, P<0.05). Assuming that their children suffered from minor burns, 39.0% (1 063/2 723) of the caregivers chose to go to the nearest hospital for treatment the first time, the percentage of caregivers who knew all standard first aid measures for small area burn choosing to go to Grade Ⅲ Level A hospital with burn specialty for treatment the first time was similar with that of caregivers who did not know/did not fully know (χ2=3.528, P>0.05), and the percentage of caregivers whose children had burn experience choosing to go to Grade Ⅲ Level A hospital with burn specialty for treatment in the first time was similar with that of caregivers whose children didn′t have burn experience (χ2=3.521, P>0.05). Among all medical institutions with burn specialty or specialized in burn treatment, 28.0% (762/2 723) of the caregivers chose to go to comprehensive Grade Ⅲ Level A hospital for treatment, and the percentage of caregivers who knew all standard first aid measures for small area burn choosing to go to comprehensive Grade Ⅲ Level A hospital for treatment was significantly higher than that of caregivers who did not know/did not fully know (χ2=4.890, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#The caregivers of children are mainly children′s mothers with education background of undergraduate in Shanghai, and caregivers′ cognitive levels of first aid knowledge regarding the small area burn are low. Only a few caregivers know all standard first aid measures for small area burn, and there are still some caregivers who have the wrong idea of applying folk prescription drugs or daily necessities for children by themselves. The publicity and education of basic first aid knowledge of burn should be strengthened through various channels such as burn simulation exercise and network, and caregivers should be guided to take their children to hospitals with burn specialty for treatment after occurrence of burn in children, so as to obtain more professional medical treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To preliminarily observe the effects of application of micro-negative pressure in children with small-area deep partial-thickness burn.@*Methods@#From January 2016 to August 2018, 64 children with small-area deep partial-thickness burn who were admitted to the Department of Burn Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University were recruited in this prospective randomized controlled study. According to the random number table, they were divided into negative pressure group [18 boys and 14 girls, aged (3.9±1.6) years with total burn area of (5.5±2.2)% total body surface area (TBSA)] and conventional group [20 boys and 12 girls, aged (3.8±1.7) years with total burn area of (5.8±1.6)% TBSA], with 32 patients in each group. After admission, simple debridement was performed in the patients of 2 groups. After that, the children in negative pressure group were treated with micro-negative pressure with negative pressure material replaced every 3 to 5 days. Children in conventional group were treated with silver sulfadiazine cream with dressing change every other day. On post injury day (PID) 14 and 21, general wound observation was performed, the wound healing rate was calculated, the exudates from the wounds were cultured and the positive detection rate was calculated. The number of patients requiring surgical skin grafting was recorded and the rate of surgical skin grafting was calculated, and the complete wound healing time was recorded in the patients of 2 groups. Scar formation was evaluated by the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) in 3, 6, and 12 months after wound healing. Data were processed with chi-square test, t test, Bonferroni correction, and analysis of variance for repeated measurement.@*Results@#(1) On PID 14, all the necrotic tissue in the wounds of patients in negative pressure group was removed, with few exudates, and most of the wounds had been epithelialized; most of necrotic tissue in the wounds of patients in conventional group was removed, with more exudates and smaller wound healing area than those in negative pressure group. On PID 21, most of the wounds of patients in negative pressure group were healed, and the exudates were rare, while the wound healing area of patients in conventional group was significantly smaller than that in negative pressure group with more exudates. (2) On PID 14 and 21, the wound healing rates [(49.8±3.3)% and (95.8±2.4)%] of patients in negative pressure group were significantly higher than those in conventional group [(40.0±3.2)% and (75.3±2.5)%, t=11.899, 33.461, P<0.01]. (3) On PID 14 and 21, the positive detection rates of wound bacteria of patients in negative pressure group were significantly lower than those in conventional group (χ2=6.275, 5.741, P<0.05). (4) The rate of surgical skin grafting of patients in negative pressure group was significantly lower than that in conventional group (χ2=5.333, P<0.05). (5) The complete wound healing time of patients in negative pressure group [(23.9±2.3) d] was significantly shorter than that in conventional group [(27.9±1.8) d, t=-7.806, P<0.01]. (6) In 3, 6, and 12 months after wound healing, the VSS scores [(6.9±1.8), (5.6±1.4), (3.4±1.5) points] of patients in negative pressure group were significantly lower than those in conventional group [(9.0±1.5), (7.4±2.0), (5.7±1.6) points, t=-4.987, -4.127, -5.988, P<0.01].@*Conclusions@#In comparison with routine dressing change, the treatment of application of micro-negative pressure in children with small-area deep partial-thickness burn can significantly improve the wound healing rate and rate of surgical skin grafting, decrease the wound infection rate, shorten the wound healing time, and improve the wound healing quality.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the antiseptic effect of compound lysostaphin disinfectant and its preventive effect on infection of artificial dermis after graft on full-thickness skin defect wound in rats.@*Methods@#(1) Each one standard strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus aureus were selected. Each 20 clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus aureus were collected from those isolated from wound exudates of burn patients hospitalized in our wards from January 2014 to December 2016 according to the random number table. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of compound lysostaphin disinfectant to above-mentioned strains were detected. The experiment was repeated 3 times. Compared with the corresponding standard strain, the clinical strain with higher MIC and/or MBC was considered as having decreased sensitivity to the disinfectant. The percentage of strains of each of the three kinds of bacteria with decreased sensitivity was calculated. (2) Artificial dermis pieces were soaked in compound lysostaphin disinfectant for 5 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h, respectively, with 21 pieces at each time point. After standing for 0 (immediately), 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 h (with 3 pieces at each time point), respectively, the diameters of their inhibition zones to standard strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus aureus were measured. The experiment was repeated 3 times. The shortest soaking time corresponding to the longest standing time, after which the disinfectant-soaked artificial dermis could form an effective inhibition zone (with diameter more than 7 mm), was the sufficient soaking time of the disinfectant to the artificial dermis. (3) Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into post injury day (PID) 3, 7, 14, and 21 sampling groups according to the random number table, with 10 rats in each group. A full-thickness skin defect wound with a diameter of 20 mm was made on both sides of the spine on the back of each rat. Immediately after injury, the artificial dermis without any treatment was grafted on the wound on left side of the spine (hereinafter referred to as control wound), while the sufficiently soaked artificial dermis with compound lysostaphin disinfectant was grafted on the wound on right side of the spine (hereinafter referred to as disinfectant wound). On PID 3, 7, 14, and 21, the gross condition of wounds of all the surviving rats was observed, and the new infection rates of control wounds and disinfectant wounds were calculated. Then, the rats in the sampling group with corresponding time were killed, and the full-thickness wound tissue containing artificial dermis was collected for quantitative analysis of bacteria. Bacteria content of the uninfected control wounds and that of the uninfected disinfectant wounds were compared. Data were processed with chi-square test and Wilcoxon rank sum test.@*Results@#(1) The MIC of compound lysostaphin disinfectant to standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter baumannii were 1/32, 1/32, and 1/512 of the original concentration of the disinfectant, respectively, and the MBC were 1/32, 1/16, and 1/512 of the original concentration of the disinfectant, respectively. The percentages of clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus with decreased sensitivity to compound lysostaphin disinfectant were 15% (3/20), 20% (4/20), and 10% (2/20), respectively. (2) After being soaked in compound lysostaphin disinfectant for 2 and 4 h, the longest standing time, after which the artificial dermis could form an effective inhibition zone against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus aureus, were 24, 36, and 48 h respectively, longer than 12, 24, and 24 h of soaking for 5 min and 24, 24, and 36 h of soaking for 1 h. The sufficient soaking time of compound lysostaphin disinfectant to artificial dermis was 2 h. (3) On PID 3, no infection symptom was observed in all the wounds, and so both the new infection rate of control wounds and that of disinfectant wounds were 0. The artificial dermis was transparent but not well connected with the wound. On PID 7, the new infection rate of control wounds was 20.00% (6/30), which was obviously higher than 3.33% (1/30) of disinfectant wounds, χ2=4.043, P<0.05. On the infected wound, a large amount of purulent exudates were observed, and the artificial dermis was not connected with the wound and degraded partially. On the uninfected wound, artificial dermis was transparent and had a partial connection with the wound. On PID 14 and 21, no new infected wound was observed, and so both the new infection rate of control wounds and that of disinfectant wounds were 0. There was no obvious improvement on the infected wounds. The collagen layers of artificial dermis in the uninfected wound established a good connection with the wound and were separating from the silica gel layer gradually. Infection occurred in 2, 3, 1 control wound (s) in PID 7, 14, and 21 sampling groups, respectively, and in 1 disinfectant wound in PID 14 sampling group. The bacteria content of the infected wounds tissue was 0.79×106 to 7.22×109 colony-forming unit (CFU)/g. The bacteria content of uninfected control wounds tissue in PID 3, 7, and 14 sampling groups were (3.43±1.88)×102, (2.37±0.43)×103, and (8.40±1.03)×103 CFU/g, respectively, which were significantly higher than (0.33±0.12)×102, (0.43±0.17)×103, (2.16±0.52)×103 CFU/g of uninfected disinfectant wounds tissue (Z=-3.780, -3.554, -3.334, P<0.05). The bacteria content of uninfected control wounds tissue and that of uninfected disinfectant wounds tissue in PID 21 sampling group were similar (Z=-0.490, P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#Compound lysostaphin disinfectant has quite strong antibacterial ability against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus aureus. Clinical strains of the three kinds of bacteria were highly sensitive to compound lysostaphin disinfectant. Saturation of absorption of compound lysostaphin disinfectant achieves in artificial dermis after 2 hours′ soaking. After 24, 36, and 48 hours′ standing, the soaked artificial dermis still has the antibacterial effect on Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. The infection rate and the bacteria content of full-thickness skin defect wound in rats are all decreased when grafted with soaked artificial dermis.
ABSTRACT
Hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) is the most frequent vascular complication following with liver transplantation,whichis the foremost cause of primary graft nonfunction,graft loss and recipient's death.Hepatic artery thrombosis after liver transplantation wasdivided into early hepatic artery thrombosis (E-HAT) and late hepatic artery thrombosis (L-HAT).And the etiologywascomplex,clinical presentations were diversity,treatment effects were controversial,therefore,the early detection,early diagnosis and early treatment of hepatic artery thrombosis after liver transplantation are very important.In this paper,the progress in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic artery thrombosis after liver transplantation were reviewed.
ABSTRACT
Disease anthropology takes disease as the research object and uses anthropological methods to study disease. In the 1970s, a French anthropologist named Francois Laplantine foundedetiology and the therapeutic method to study disease using"opposite mode". Based on Francois Laplantine' s mode of disease etiology:ontologi-cal mode and relevance theory mode, this paper discussed the formulation process and relationship between ontolog-ical mode and relevance theory mode of western medicine and argued that moral trauma can be accepted for and can be attributed to the pathogenic factors in the relevance theory mode of disease etiology.
ABSTRACT
By quoting the learning process proposed in The Book of Rites·The Doctrine of the Mean:"studying extensively,enquiring accurately,reflecting carefully,discriminating clearly,practicing earnestly",this paper con-structed the "Five - step" model in the moral and values education of college students,and also applied it to medi-cal students' professional values education. This method can guide students to study extensively and accumulate knowledge,ask in detail and explore carefully,think thoughtfully and accept actively,embed knowledge and judge rationally,devote oneself to practice and make the unity of knowing and doing,so as to achieve the purpose of "em-bedding within the heart and practicing outside the action in line" in the values education during the process of gradual progress and continuous circulation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the value of new 16S rRNA gene chip in pathogen detection of neonatal sepsis.Method Newborns with suspected sepsis hospitalized in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were chosen as the subjects.Blood culture and gene chip were both used to detect the pathogens of these infants.The positive rate,the detection time,and the blood volume needed for detection were compared between the two methods.Result A total of 306 cases of suspected neonatal sepsis were included in the study.Among them,34 (11.1％) were positive for blood culture and 54 (17.6％) were positive for gene chip.98 cases were diagnosed as neonatal sepsis,34 (34.7％) were positive for blood culture,and 52 (53.1％) were positive for gene chip.The positive rate of gene chip was higher than that of blood culture (P ＜ 0.05).For the 5 common pathogens of neonatal sepsis,the positive rate of gene chip was higher than that of blood culture.Time to positivity (TTP) and pathogen identification time of blood culture were (14.6 ± 5.5) h and (72.9 ± 19.0) h,respectively.TTP and pathogen identification time of gene chip were both 3 h.The detection time of gene chip was significantly less than that of blood culture (P ＜ 0.001).The blood volume needed for detection of blood culture and gene chip was 1 ～ 2 ml and 0.5 ml.Gene chip needs less blood volume than blood culture.Conclusion Compared with the traditional blood culture,gene chip can quickly detect the pathogens in the blood with higher positive rate and less blood volume.Gene chip is of great value in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the protective effects and the possible mechanisms of mild hypothermia against liver L02 cells hypoxic-ischernia reperfusion injury by using mild hypothermia pretreatment.Methods L02 cells were randomly divided into three groups:normal control group (N group),hypoxic-ischemia reperfusion group (control group) and hypoxic-ischemia reperfusion with mild hypothermia pretreatment group (experimental group).Before hypoxic-ischemia reperfusion,cells in experimental group were pretreated with mild hypothermia for 6 h,while the other groups were given the normal culture.Thereafter,the hypoxic-ischemia reperfusion models of L02 cells were performed by a tri-gas incubator to hypoxic-ischemia culture for 12 h,followed by reperfusion with normal conditions for 4 hours.Cells in N group were cultured in normal conditions.The temperature of experimental groups was set to 32 C.The samples were collected,and the cell injury,the cell vitality,the cell apoptosis and the expression of JNK in different groups were detected.Results Compared to N group,the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were significantly increased,the cell vitality was significantly decreased,the cell apoptosis and the expression of p-JNK were significantly increased in control and experimental groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared to control group,all these changes were significantly ameliorated in experimental group.The levels of ALT,AST and LDH in control group were (30.0 ± 4.6),(26.3 ± 3.8) and (1129.0 ± 134.3) U/L,and those in the experimental group were (21.0 ± 2.7),(18.7 ± 2.1)and (898.3 ± 79.2),respectively.The cell vitality in control group and experimental group was (64.33 ± 2.32)％ and (78.17± 3.01)％ respectively.The cell apoptosis in control group and experimental group was (32.4 ± 2.3) ％ and (18.8 ± 1.4) ％ respectively.The expression of p-JNK in experimental group was significantly decreased.All these differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Mild hypothermia pretreatment could significantly attenuate liver L02 cells hypoxicischemia reperfusion injury probably by inhibiting JNK activation.
