Overexpression of Protein Phosphatase 2 Regulatory Subunit B"Alpha Promotes Glycolysis by Regulating Hexokinase 1 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

Objective@#To investigate the regulatory relationship of Protein Phosphatase 2 Regulatory Subunit B"Alpha ( PPP2R3A) and hexokinase 1 ( HK1) in glycolysis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).@*Methods@#In HepG2 and Huh7 cells, PPP2R3A expression was silenced by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and overexpression by plasmid transfection. The PPP2R3A-related genes were searched by RNA sequencing. Glycolysis levels were measured by glucose uptake and lactate production. QRT-PCR, ELISA, western blot and immunofluorescence assay were performed to detect the changes of PPP2R3A and HK1. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion assay were used to study the roles of HK1 regulation by PPP2R3A.@*Results@#RNA sequencing data revealed that PPP2R3A siRNA significantly downregulated the expression of HK1. PPP2R3A gene overexpression promotes, while gene silencing suppresses, the level of HK1 and glycolysis in HCC cells. In HCC tissue samples, PPP2R3A and HK1 were colocalized in the cytoplasm, and their expression showed a positive correlation. HK1 inhibition abrogated the promotion of glycolysis, proliferation, migration and invasion by PPP2R3A overexpression in liver cancer cells.@*Conclusion@#Our findings showed the correlation of PPP2R3A and HK1 in the glycolysis of HCC, which reveals a new mechanism for the oncogenic roles of PPP2R3A in cancer.

Research progress on the regulation of mammalian energy metabolism by the circadian clock system and gut microbiota / 生理学报

The mammalian internal circadian clock system has been evolved to adapt to the diurnal changes in the internal and external environment of the organism to regulate diverse physiological functions, such as the sleep-wake cycle and feeding rhythm, thereby coordinating the rhythmic changes of energy demand and nutrition supply in each diurnal cycle. The circadian clock regulates glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and hormones secretion in diverse tissues and organs, including the liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, heart, and vessels. As a special "organ" of the host, the gut microbiota, together with the intestinal microenvironment (tissues, cells, and metabolites) in a co-evolutionary process, constitutes a micro-ecosystem and plays an important role in the process of nutrient digestion and absorption in the intestine of the host. In recent years, accumulating evidence indicates that the compositions, quantities, colonization, and functional activities of the gut microbiota exhibit significant circadian variations, which are closely related to the changes of various physiological functions under the regulation of host circadian clock system. In addition, several studies have shown that the gut microbiota can produce many important metabolites such as the short-chain fatty acids through the degradation of indigestive dietary fibers. A portion of gut microbiota-derived metabolites can regulate the circadian clock system and metabolism of the host. This article mainly discusses the interaction between the host circadian clock system and the gut microbiota, and highlights its influence on energy metabolism of the host, providing a novel clues and thought for the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases.

Relationship between occupational noise exposure and renal function impairment in oil workers / 环境与职业医学

Background The current oil production determines oil workers’ occupational noise exposure. Without effective protection, noise will affect various aspects of worker’s body functions, including acting on the adrenal cortex system and resulting in renal function damage. Objective To evaluate the associations of noise exposure and its cumulative exposure level with renal function impairment of oil workers. Methods Oil workers from a collective medical examination in a hospital were selected as the study subjects. In accordance with the national standard Measurement of Physical Agents in the Workplace Part 8: Noise (GBZ/T 189.8—2007), noise exposure was measured three times at the oil workers' work site, and their average value was calculated to obtain the cumulative noise exposure (CNE). A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect general information such as socio-demographic characteristics, family history, lifestyles, and occupational history. All blood biochemical indicators were measured in the fasting state. Renal function impairment was judged based on the glomerular filtration rate. The relationship between CNE and renal function was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) for workers with noise exposure. Results A total of 2 917 subjects were included in the study and their prevalence of renal function impairment was 14.2%. The univariate analysis results suggested statistically significant differences in the prevalence of renal function impairment among the oil workers grouped by having hypertension or not, gender, age, marital status, marital status, smoking, and alcohol consumption (P＜0.05); the prevalence of renal impairment was significantly higher in those with abnormal values of uric acid, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, and fasting glucose than in those with normal values (P＜0.05); the oil workers with noise exposure [n=1565, 53.7%, equivalent sound level ≥80 dB(A)] showed a higher prevalence of renal function impairment than those without (P＜0.05). The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that being female (OR=2.811, 95%CI: 1.960-4.030), age at 31 years and above (OR31-40=3.502, 95%CI: 1.402-8.751; OR41-50=4.255, 95%CI: 1.759-10.291; OR≥51=7.179, 95%CI: 2.864-17.996), showing abnormal uric acid (OR=5.932, 95%CI: 4.486-7.843), having hypertension (OR=1.593, 95%CI: 1.230-2.063), alcohol consumption (OR=2.648, 95%CI: 1.346-5.212), and smoking (OR=1.816, 95%CI: 1.133-2.911) had higher risks of developing renal function impairment; besides, those exposed to noise had 1.351 times (95%CI: 1.073-1.702) higher risks of developing renal function impairment than non-exposed individuals. Noise-exposed oil workers in the renal impairment group had higher noise exposure intensity and CNE compared to the noise-exposed oil workers in the normal renal function group (P＜0.05), and the workers had an increased risk of renal function impairment when the CNE was >95.85 dB(A)·year versus CNE ≤ 95.85 dB(A)·year (OR=2.583, 95%CI: 1.956-3.411). Conclusion Exposure to noise, higher noise exposure intensity, and higher level of CNE may be associated with developing renal function impairment in oil workers. Oil workers with CNE above 95.85 dB(A)·year are at an increased risk of renal impairment.

Clinical significance of group A streptococcal infection in pediatric patients with enthesitis related arthritis / 中华风湿病学杂志

Objective:To demonstrate the clinical significance of group A streptococcal infection (GAS) in patients with enthesitis related arthritis (ERA).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on ERA (136) and PolyRF-/Oligo juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) (272) patients in Beijing Children's Hospital from 2016 to 2018. Anti-streptococcal hemolysin "O" (ASO) was tested and documented in all patients. The infection rate of GAS was compared between patients with ERA and PolyRF-/Oligo JIA. Patients with ERA were divided to two groups according to the result of ASO (ASO positive and ASO negative). All the clinical data were documented and compared within the two groups. The statistical methods used mainly include t test, rank sum test, chi-square test, and Spearman correlation analysis.Results:The GAS infection rate of patients with ERA was higher than patients with PolyRF-/Oligo JIA (17.6% vs 9.5%, χ2=5.52, P=0.019). In ERA patients, clinical data were analyzed, and a statistical significant difference was observed in the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 between ASO positive and ASO negative group [75.0%(18/24) vs 49.1%(55/112), χ2=5.329, P=0.021]. Statistical differences were found in Patrick's sign positive rate between the two groups [100%(24/24) vs 67.0%(75/112), χ2=10.61, P=0.001]. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding the radiogr-aphic grading at the sacroiliac joint. More patients with positive ASO had grade Ⅲ damage at the sacroiliac joint compare to patients with negative ASO [68.2%(15/22) vs 28.4%(29/102), χ2=12.49, P<0.001]. The logarithmic of the ASO was slightly correlated with the radiographic grade of sacroiliac joint ( r=0.26, P=0.005). Conclusion:Patients with ERA are prone to be infected by GAS. It's probably related to HLA-B27 postivity for antigen presentation. Patients who were infected by GAS fre-quently have sacroiliac joint involvement, and tend to be more sever. This indicates that GAS may play an important role in the pathogenesis of sacroiliac joint destruction.

Self-injury and changes of hormone level / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Self-injury has become a significant public health problem, especially happens in adolescents. Previous studies have suggested that self-injury is related to numerous factors. At present, the occurrence mechanism of self-injury is still unclear, and there is a lack of reliable biological markers in its diagnosis and therapeutic target so far. Previous studies have suggested that self-injury may be related to hypothalamic pituitary adrenal(HPA) axis, β-endorphins, opioids and other hormones. Hypothalamic pituitary thyroid(HPT) axis and hypothalamic pituitary gonadal(HPG) axis are endocrine systems connecting nerves and hormones. Many studies suggested that various hormones in HPT axis and HPG axis of self-injury patients with other mental disorders (such as major depression and bipolar disorder) were abnormal. At present, there are few studies on the relationship between self-injury and HPT axis and HPG axis. There are differences in results even among studies on the same hormones, and some studies involve suicide attempts and even behaviors. Some studies have confirmed that self-injury is related to suicide, expanding the possibility of exploring the correlation between self-injury and hormones. This study will review the relationship between self-injury and hormonal changes.

Diagnostic value of the new optical staining technology for domestic endoscope: a multicenter clinical study / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective:A prospective, multicenter randomized controlled clinical research was conducted to explore the diagnostic value of the new optical staining technology for domestic endoscope, spectral focused imaging (SFI) and variable intelligent staining technology (VIST), for gastric precancerous lesions.Methods:Patients who intended to undergo gastroscopy between August 2020 and May 2021 were randomly divided into the white light group and the new optical staining group at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. A sequential examination method was applied (white light to new optical staining or new optical staining to white light). The endoscopic diagnostic results and the detection results of Helicobacter pylori ( HP) of the two groups were recorded. At the same time, such five variables as gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, fold enlargement, nodular gastritis and diffuse redness were evaluated for the risk of gastric cancer in the two groups. Results:A total of 419 cases were enrolled, including 208 cases in the white light group and 211 cases in the new optical staining group. Compared with pathological findings, the detection rates of gastric inflammation, atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and advanced cancer lesions in the white light group were 28.9%, 40.4%, 64.9%, 17.8%, 0.5% and 0.5% respectively; while those in the new optical staining group were 30.8%, 42.7%, 62.6%, 15.2%, 2.8% and 0.5%. There were no significant differences in the detection rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with pathology, the sensitivity, the specificity, the accuracy, the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value for gastric mucosal atrophy in the white light group were 92.9%, 61.3%, 74.0%, 61.9% and 92.7% respectively and those in the new optical staining group (SFI mode) were 94.4%, 64.5%, 77.3%, 66.4% and 94.0% respectively. The above 5 measures for gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia were 68.1%, 72.6%, 69.7%, 82.1% and 55.2% in the white light group, and 87.1%, 89.9%, 88.2%, 93.5% and 80.7% in the new optical staining group (VIST mode), with significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). In terms of HP infection with 13C-urea breath test ( 13C-UBT) results as the gold standard, the above 5 measures were 90.2%, 84.3%, 87.4%, 86.8% and 88.2% in the white light group and 92.6%, 77.1%, 85.4%, 82.2% and 90.1% in the new optical staining group respectively. The proportion of high-risk gastric lesions in the new optical staining group was higher in cases of a gastric cancer risk score≥ 4 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The new optical staining technology of domestic endoscopy has higher diagnostic value for gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia. Gastroscopy is helpful for the detection of precancerous lesions with gastric cancer risk score as a tool. The new optical staining technology of domestic endoscopy is similar to imported endoscopy in diagnosing gastric precancerous lesions and HP infection, which is an effective means to detect gastric mucosal precancerous lesions.

Intravenous route to choroidal neovascularization by macrophage-disguised nanocarriers for mTOR modulation

Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) is primarily impaired in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), leading to progressive loss of photoreceptors and sometimes choroidal neovascularization (CNV). mTOR has been proposed as a promising therapeutic target, while the usage of its specific inhibitor, rapamycin, was greatly limited. To mediate the mTOR pathway in the retina by a noninvasive approach, we developed novel biomimetic nanocomplexes where rapamycin-loaded nanoparticles were coated with cell membrane derived from macrophages (termed as MRaNPs). Taking advantage of the macrophage-inherited property, intravenous injection of MRaNPs exhibited significantly enhanced accumulation in the CNV lesions, thereby increasing the local concentration of rapamycin. Consequently, MRaNPs effectively downregulated the mTOR pathway and attenuate angiogenesis in the eye. Particularly, MRaNPs also efficiently activated autophagy in the RPE, which was acknowledged to rescue RPE in response to deleterious stimuli. Overall, we design and prepare macrophage-disguised rapamycin nanocarriers and demonstrate the therapeutic advantages of employing biomimetic cell membrane materials for treatment of AMD.

Sperm-specific protein ACTL7A as a biomarker for fertilization outcomes of assisted reproductive technology / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

Obtaining high-quality embryos is one of the key factors to improve the clinical pregnancy rate of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). So far, the clinical evaluation of embryo quality depends on embryo morphology. However, the clinical pregnancy rate is still low. Therefore, new indicators are needed to further improve the evaluation of embryo quality. Several studies have shown that the decrease of sperm-specific protein actin-like 7A (ACTL7A) leaded to low fertilization rate, poor embryo development, and even infertility. The aim of this study was to study whether the different expression levels of ACTL7A on sperm can be used as a biomarker for predicting embryo quality. In this study, excluding the factors of severe female infertility, a total of 281 sperm samples were collected to compare the ACTL7A expression levels of sperms with high and low effective embryo rates and analyze the correlation between protein levels and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory outcomes. Our results indicated that the ACTL7A levels were significantly reduced in sperm samples presenting poor embryo quality. Furthermore, the protein levels showed a significant correlation with fertilization outcomes of ART. ACTL7A has the potential to be a biomarker for predicting success rate of fertilization and effective embryo and the possibility of embryo arrest. In conclusion, sperm-specific protein ACTL7A has a strong correlation with IVF laboratory outcomes and plays important roles in fertilization and embryo development.

Efficacy of percutaneous short segment fixation in the treatment of Magerl A3 thoracolumbar fractures with low bone mineral density:a retrospective study / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the clinical efficacy of percutaneous pedicle screw short segment internal fixation with or without the intermediate screw in the treatment of Magerl A3 thoracolumbar fractures with low bone mineral density.@*METHODS@#Patients with Magerl A3 thoracolumbar fracture underwent percutaneous pedicle screw short segment internal fixation from January 2017 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, 93 cases met the diagnosis and inclusion criteria, 9 cases were excluded according to the exclusion criteria, and the remaining 84 cases obtained complete imaging follow-up data. There were 38 males and 46 females, the age ranged from 56 to 73 years old with an average of (64.78±7.12) years old, bone mineral density (BMD) ranged from 0.61 to 0.89 g/cm3 with an average of (0.73±0.14) g/cm3, the follow-up time was 11 to 25 months with an average of (17.58±6.12) months. There were 45 cases in group A with intermediate screw and 39 cases in group B without intermediate screw. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used for clinical evaluation. The Cobb angle, vertebral wedge angle (VWA) and anterior vertebral body height (AVBH) were measured by X-ray after the operation. The corrected loss of the above parameters was calculated.@*RESULTS@#There were 5 cases of screw loosening in 84 patients (2 cases in group A and 3 cases in group B, P>0.05). There were significant differences in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between two groups(P<0.01). Clinical effects of two groups were good, postoperative VAS and ODI after operation obviously improved, there was no significant difference between two groups during all follow-up periods (3 days, 1 month after operation and the final follow-up) (P>0.05). Three days after the operation, the image evaluations (Cobb angle, VWA and AVBH) were significantly improved (P<0.05), but significant reduction loss was observed in both groups at 1 month after the operation and at the final follow-up (P<0.05). At the final follow-up, the loss of Cobb angle, VWA and AVBH in group A were (5.26±4.18) °, (4.63±3.80) ° and (9.54±8.71)%, respectively;group B was (6.01±4.34) °, (6.55±6.21) ° and (11.67± 9.95)%, respectively;however, there was no significant difference in reduction loss between the two groups(P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Although the curative effect of the patients is satisfactory, the stability of the patients can not be improved by increasing the middle injured vertebra screw placement, the two groups of percutaneous short segment internal fixation can not resist the reduction loss of Magerl-A3 thoracolumbar fracture with low bone mineral density. Because the injured vertebra screw increases the operation time and intraoperative blood loss, it is not significant to use the intermediate screw for the elderly Magerl A3 thoracolumbar fractures with low bone mineral density.

Varieties and standards of Corydalis medicinal plants / 中国中药杂志

Through literature research and standard retrieval, Corydalis-derived medicinal materials, the origins, and related standards were summarized. Finally, 27 medicinal materials were screened out, involving 71 species(varieties). Among them, only 11 are recorded in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020), National Standard for Chinese Patent Drugs·Tibetan Medicine, Tibetan Medicine Standards, and other local standards, including Corydalis Bungeanae Herba and Corydalis Herba. The names and original plants of the medicinal materials are different in different standards, and the phenomena of "same medicinal material with different names" and "same name for different medicinal materials" are prominent. Most standards only include the traits, microscopic identification, and physico-chemical property identification, with unsound quality criteria. Thus, efforts should be made to strengthen the sorting of Corydalis medicinal plants, herbal textual research, and investigation of the resources and utilization. Moreover, via modern techniques, the chemical components and medicinal material basis of different original plants should be explored and sound quality standards should be established to improve the safety and quality of Corydalis-derived medicinal materials. Summarizing Corydalis medicinal plants, Corydalis-derived medicinal materials, and related standards, this study is expected to provide a reference for the standard formulation, quality evaluation, expansion of drug sources, and rational development and utilization of Corydalis resources.

Analysis and reflection on the filing management of traditional Chinese medicine preparations in medical institu- tions / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To compare and study the supporting policies for the filing man agement system of traditional Chinese medicine preparation prepared by traditional technology （hereinafter referred to as “TCM preparation ”）in medical institutions issued by the state and various provinces ，and their development ，so as to provide reference for the improvement of the follow-up supervision and management of the filing works. METHODS According to Announcement on the Filing Management of TCM Preparations Prepared by Medical Institutions Using Traditional Processes issued by former National Food and Drug Administration （hereinafter referred to as the Announcement）as well as notices and specific implementation rules issued by provincial bureaus ，the filing work data of 10 provinces in recent 3 years were selected for comparison ，sorting，statistics，classification and induction. The policy characteristics and progress of filing work were studied. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS According to the local actual situation，some provinces had refined or expanded the contents of several parts of the Announcement，such as the scope of TCM preparations，the situation not allowed to record ，the filing process and working time requirements ，the disclosure ，change and cancellation of filing information ，and the implementation of supervision and management. The statistical results of filing data in 10 provinces showed that compared with 2019，the number of TCM preparation declared for filing and medical institutions declared for filing had increased with growth rate of 91.0％ and 48.8％ respectively in 2020. There is still room for improvement in the supporting policies for the filing of TCM preparations ，which can be optimized by referring to the features of some provinces ’ implementation policies ，refining the construction of norms and standards ，and strengthening the construction of regulatory system platform. It is necessary to optimize policy and strengthen the capacity building of reporting institutions in advance ；carry out daily supervision and control risk based on risk during the filing management ；emphasize follow-up supervision ，strengthen the construction of ADR monitoring system in medical institutions ，and carry out life cycle supervision and management constructively afterwards，in order to promote the further development of TCM preparations in medical institutions.

The Influence of Skull Thickness on Intracranial Biomechanical Response / 医用生物力学

Objective To study the influence of skull thickness on intracranial biomechanical parameters by finite element method. Methods The female head at 5th percentile was selected for CT scanning to construct finite element model of the head with high biofidelity,and the model was verified by reconstructed cadaver test. The finite element model of the head with different skull thickness was established, and multiple groups of tests were carried out to compare the intracranial mechanical parameters. Results The negative value of intracranial pressure was significantly affected by the decrease in skull thickness under the same head size, while the negative value of intracranial pressure was slightly affected, with an increasing trend. The shear stress and von Mises stress of brain tissues were significantly increased with skull thickness increasing. Conclusions Under the same head size, the skull thickness will affect head injury to a certain extent, and people with small skull thickness are more likely to be injured than those with large skull thickness.

Design and Analysis of a New Cerebrospinal Fluid Drainage Separation Device / 医用生物力学

Objective Based on the existing clinical drainage device, two novel mechanisms were designed for the connection between the drainage tube of the patient and the drainage tube of the drainage bag, so as to compare such two mechanisms and validate whether the mechanisms can meet the design requirements for clinical use. Methods Mechanism 1 used the method of electromagnetic drive to pull in and Mechanism 2 used the magnetization method of permanent magnet to pull in. The finite element model of static electromagnetic field was established. The force of the two mechanisms under different currents was compared, and the distribution of magnetic field lines and magnetic induction intensity was analyzed. Simulation experiments were designed for preliminary experimental research. Results Under the pull-in state, the maximum magnetic induction of Mechanism 1 and Mechanism 2 at the closed end surface was found in contact area of the two iron cores. The suction force of Mechanism 1 could be adjusted by the current. When the current was 1 A, the maximum magnetic induction intensity at the closed end was 0.76 T, the electromagnetic force measured by the experiment was 6.08 N, the magnetic force of Mechanism 2 was 6.68 N, which was smaller than the 8 N suture tension. Mechanism 2 was separated by supplying the driving coil with a reverse magnetic field. Conclusions When the current was 1 A, Mechanism 1 could meet the magnetic attraction requirements, and Mechanism 2 could be separated when the current reached 1.8 A. Both mechanisms met the requirements of clinical design, but Mechanism 2 was more secure in the process of application. The feasibility of the mechanism structure was verified by finite element analysis and experimental test.

Among them ，the similarity of 39 batches of samples was all higher than 0.900. Results of principal component analysis showed that the quality of T. officinale from Shaanxi province was better，followed by medicinal materials from Hebei province. CONCLUSIONS ：Tentatively，the contents of alcohol-soluble extract，water-soluble extract ，total flavonoids ，chlorogenic acid ，caffeic acid ，cichoric acid and isochlorogenic acid A shall not be less than 17.0％，27.0％，1.383％，0.024％，0.021％，0.450％，0.021％ for Taraxaci Herba. In addition to the low content of caffeic acid in T. officinale from Shaanxi province ，the other indexes were better ；the content of caffeic acid in T. officinale from Hebei province was higher than that from Shaanxi province ，and other indicators were slightly lower than that from Shaanxi province. The quality of comprehensive evaluation of T. officinale from other origins was relatively poor ，and the quality of different batches of medicinal materials from the same origin was unstable.

The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Ohkuma questionnaire for dysphagia screening / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Ohkuma questionnaire.Methods:The Ohkuma questionnaire was translated and revised, before it was used to investigate 70 elderly patients. Cronbach′s alpha coefficient, Cohen′s kappa coefficient and Pearson correlation were used to evaluate the scale′s internal reliability, sub-item retest reliability and total score retest reliability. KMO and Bartlett tests were used to evaluate the validity. The correlation between the Chinese version of the Ohkuma questionnaire and ratings from video fluoroscopy before and after treatment was used to evaluate the scale′s discrimination ability.Results:The Cronbach′s alpha of the Chinese version of Ohkuma questionnaire was 0.831, with 0.814 in the initial evaluation and 0.808 in a second evaluation. The Cohen′s kappas of the 15 sub-items ranged from 0.728 to 1.000. The Pearson correlation coefficient of the total score was 0.914. The scale′s KMO value was 0.701. A t-test of the Ohkuma scores before and after treatment showed a statistically significant difference.Conclusion:The revised Chinese Ohkuma questionnaire has good reliability, validity and discriminatory power. It can be used to screen for dysphagia among the elderly.

Effect of driving pressure-guided individualized PEEP titration on atelectasis in elderly patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the effect of driving pressure-guided individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration on atelectasis in elderly patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.Methods:Fifty elderly patients, aged 65-80 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, with body mass index of 19-28 kg/m 2, undergoing elective robot-assisted radical prostatectomy under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=25 each) according to the random number table method: traditional lung-protective ventilation group (group C) and driving pressure-guided individualized PEEP group (group D). The method for setting PEEP was as follows: PEEP 5 cmH 2O was used throughout operation in group C. In group D, the optimal PEEP was titrated after intubation and mechanical ventilation and Trendelenburg position-pneumoperitoneum construction, the initial value was the lowest PEEP allowed by the anesthesia machine, the PEEP was increased by 1 cmH 2O (PEEP≤12 cmH 2O) every 4 min, the plateau pressure and PEEP were simultaneously recorded to calculate the driving pressure, and the corresponding PEEP was considered as the optimal PEEP for the individual when the driving pressure reached the minimum.Ultrasound examination was performed after catheterization of radial artery (T 0), after anesthesia induction (T 1), 4 min after developing optimal PEEP ventilation (T 2, 4 min after developing ventilation in group C), after restoration of body position (T 3), before extubation (T 4), and at 2 h after admission to postanesthesia care unit (T 5). Atelectatic aeration loss scores were recorded at T 0, T 1, T 4 and T 5.Bilateral optic nerve sheath diameter was measured at T 0-4.Arterial blood gas analysis was performed at T 0, T 2, T 3 and T 5, PaO 2 and PaCO 2 were recorded, and oxygenation index was calculated.The postoperative pulmonary complications within 3 days after operation were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, atelectasis aeration loss scores at T 4, 5 and PaCO 2 at T 2, 3 were significantly decreased, and PaO 2 and oxygenation index were increased at T 2, 3, 5 in group D ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the bilateral optic nerve sheath diameter and incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Driving pressure-guided individualized PEEP can increase intraoperative oxygenation and decrease the development of atelectasis in elderly patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Diagnosis and treatment of postoperative malignant hyperthermia in a pediatric patient with congenital myopathy due to RyR1 gene mutations / 中华麻醉学杂志

A 14-year-old male pediatric patient was admitted to the hospital mainly because of neck and back deformity, with limited activity for 7 yr, dysphagia and short of breath for more than 10 months.He was diagnosed with cervical lordosis deformity, RyR1 gene-related myopathy, high possibility of multi-minicore disease and being susceptible to malignant hyperthermia.Posterior cervical orthopedic internal fixation surgery was successfully performed under total intravenous anesthesia with propofol.The vital signs were stable during anesthesia and operation which lasted for 10 h. The patient was admitted to intensive care unit after the uneventful operation.When emerging from general anesthesia, the patient suddenly presented with symptoms of muscular fasciculation in the head, face, trunk and limbs, along with elevated body temperature as high as 39.4℃, severe acidosis and hypercapnia, meanwhile, the blood creatine kinase, blood myoglobin and urinary myoglobin gradually increased.The patient was diagnosed with malignant hyperthermia based on the clinical grading scale score of 63.Dantrolene sodium was infused intravenously, combined with multiple treatments such as physical cooling, correction of acidosis and electrolyte disturbance, alkalization of urine, intermittent hemofiltration and plasma exchange.The arrhythmia and delirium were treated symptomatically.The pediatric patient was fully recovered and discharged with good outcomes.
