ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore whether renal artery involvement is an independent risk factor of acute renal injury (AKI) KDIGO stage 3 after moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest in patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.Methods:From December 2015 to October 2017, 492 consecutive patients with acute Stanford A-type aortic dissection received surgical treatment, 486 of them were included in the study. All patients underwent aortic CTA to determine the extent of aortic dissection and renal artery involvement. According to the standard of Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), the renal function of patients after operation was graded. The risk factors of AKI KDIGO stage 3 were analyzed.Renal artery involvement and other risk factors were included in univariate analysis, and significant variables in univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:In 492 patients, 40 (8.13%) died in hospital, of which 6 died of severe bleeding during operation or failed to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass which lead to unable to leave the Weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass and these 6 patients were excluded in the research. Among 486 patients included in the study, 251 (51.64%) had AKI. Among them, 83 (17.08%) were in the KDIGO stage 1, 56 (11.52%) in stage 2 and 112 (23.05%) in stage 3.The results of univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in renal artery involvement, age, time from onset to operation, D-dimer, leukocytes and platelets in peripheral blood, creatinine clearance rate, time of cardiopulmonary bypass during operation and aortic cross-clamping time( P>0.05). The above risk factors were included in multivariate logistic regression. The results showed that preoperative renal artery involvement ( OR=1.94, P=0.02), age ( OR=1.03, P=0.02), creatinine clearance rate<85 ml/min ( OR=2.28, P=0.001), and intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time ( OR=1.01, P=0.02) were independent risk factors. The incidence of AKI in patients with renal artery involvement was 54.65%, significantly higher than 41.98% in patients without renal artery involvement ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Renal artery involvement is an independent risk factor of AKI KDIGO stage 3 after moderate deep hypothermic circulatory arrest of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the motor capacity of patients early after cardiac surgery using a cardiopulmonary exercise test.Methods:Patients who had performed a cardiopulmonary exercise test within 3 months after cardiac surgery were included in this retrospective study. Patients who took the test within 30 days of the operation formed a discharge group ( n=20), those within 30 to 60 days and 60 to 90 days formed the one month and two month groups ( n=10 for both). The discharge group was further divided into an aortic surgery group ( n=9), a bypass surgery group ( n=6) and a valve surgery group ( n=5) according to their procedure. The exercise capacity of each person was measured in terms of the changes in heart rate and systolic pressure from the resting to the anaerobic threshold stage. Anaerobic threshold, peak oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide ventilation equivalent were also recorded. Results:All of the patients completed the cardiopulmonary exercise test above the anaerobic threshold, and no adverse events such as exercise accidents occurred. At the anaerobic threshold the average heart rate of the discharge group was (8.8±7.1)bpm, significantly lower than the averages of the one month and two months groups: (17.0±5.9) and (18.3±10.5)bpm respectively. The average anaerobic thresholds and peak oxygen uptakes of the 1 month and 2 months groups were not significantly different, but they were all significantly higher than the discharge group′s averages. There were, however, no significant differences among the groups in the average changes in their systolic pressure and carbon dioxide ventilation equivalent. Moreover, the average anaerobic threshold and peak oxygen uptake of the aortic surgery group and the bypass surgery group were significantly lower than the valve surgery group′s averages.Conclusions:Postoperative motor ability after cardiac surgery improves significantly for at least 30 days. Patients who have received aortic or bypass surgery have significantly lower exercise capacity than those after valve surgery.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To verify the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on catheter related bladder discomfort after ureteroscopic lithotripsy.@*METHODS@#Sixty male patients with selective ureteroscopic lithotripsy under general anesthesia were randomly divided into a TEAS group (30 cases, one case dropped off) and a sham TEAS group (30 cases, 2 cases dropped off). Before anesthesia induction, the patients in the TEAS group were treated with TEAS at Guanyuan (CV 4), Zhongji (CV 3), Zusanli (ST 36) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) for 30 min, with disperse-dense wave, frequency of 2 Hz/ 15 Hz and current intensity of 6 to 10 mA. The patients in the sham TEAS group were treated with the same TEAS device at the same acupoints, but no electrical stimulation was given. After 30 min, anesthesia induction started. The total dosages of propofol and remifentanil in the two groups were recorded, and the time of operation and anesthesia, the time of wake-up and the time of stay in postanesthesia care unit (PACU) were recorded. The postoperative recovery was evaluated 5 min (T) after wake-up, 1 h (T), 2 h (T) and 6 h (T) after the operation, including the severity of urinary tract irritation and visual analogue scale (VAS) score. The occurrence of adverse reactions was observed, such as nausea and vomiting, dizziness and headache.@*RESULTS@#The dosage of remifentanil in the TEAS group was significantly lower than that in the sham TEAS group (0.05). Compared with the sham TEAS group, the incidence of more-than-moderate urinary tract irritation symptoms in the TEAS group was reduced (<0.05), and the VAS scores 1 and 2 h after operation were reduced (<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The 30-min TEAS at Guanyuan (CV 4), Zhongji (CV 3), Zusanli (ST 36) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) before anesthesia induction could significantly control the severity of postoperative urinary tract irritation in patients with ureteroscopic lithotripsy, reduce the dosage of anesthetic drugs and relieve postoperative pain.

ABSTRACT

Ethylene-response factors, which are a subfamily of the AP2/ERF family, play an important role in ethylene signal transduction, plant growth and plant resistant. In this study, a full-length cDNA of the AsERF1 gene was cloned from Aquilaria sinensis. Sequence analysis, prokaryotic expression and purification, subcellular localization, tissue-specific analysis and expression analysis under different abiotic stresses was performed. The open reading frame (ORF) of the AsERF1 gene was 691 bp, encoding a protein of 229 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 25.36 kD. The AsERF1 protein contained the conserved AP2 sequence of ERF protein. A phylogenetic analysis indicated that the AsERF1 protein showed greatest sequence similarity with ERF2 from Populus trichocarpa. The recombinant AsERF1 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells using the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-AsERF1 and the recombinant AsERF1 protein was purified. Agrobacterium-mediated protein expression experiments demonstrated that AsERF1 mainly localized to the nucleus. Expression analysis indicated that AsERF1 was primarily observed in leaves. The AsERF1 expression level was induced by salt, drought, low temperature and CdCl2 treatment, while the abundance of AsERF1 was most significantly induced by drought stress. These results provide valuable insights into the role of AsERF1 in plant defense and the mechanism of agarwood formation.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the risk factors of renal replacement therapy for acute Stanford A aortic dissection patients with acute renal injury (AKI) after Sun's operation.Methods From January 2016 to October 2017,144 patients with Stanford A aortic dissection who underwent Sun's procedure were enrolled in the study.Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Variables with statistical difference from univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results 8 patients (5.55%)died in hospital.16 patients (11.11%) needed CRRT for AKI.5 of them (31.25%) died in hospital.Of the 11 surviving patients,5 had complete recovery of renal function within 2 weeks after operation and stopped renal replacement therapy.The remaining 6 patients recovered their renal function within 3 months and stopped renal replacement therapy.Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in preoperative age,creatinine clearance,peripheral white blood cell count,D-dimer,myoglobin,double renal arteries in false lumen,aortic cross clamp time and red blood cell transfusions between the two groups.The above risk factors were included in multivariate logistic regression.The results showed that double renal arteries in false lumen (OR =24.64,P =0.002),serum creatinine clearance < 85 ml/min (OR =4.99,P =0.02) and red blood cell transfusions (OR =1.17,P < 0.001) were independent risk factors.Conclusion Double renal arteries in false lumen,serum creatinine clearance < 85ml/min and red blood cell transfusions were independent risk factors for CRRT after Sun's procedure for acute Stanford A aortic dissection.For high-risk patients with double renal arteries in false lumen,and markedly decreased creatinine clearance before operation,red blood cell transfusions should be reduced as much as possible to reduce the risk of AKI after operation.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of SvO2-guided early goal directed fluid therapy on hemodynamic and oxygen dynamics in septic shock pig model. Methods Twelve Bama miniature pigs (male, 21-24 kg) were equally randomized into 2 groups, group C and group G. Septic shock was induced by intravenous infusion endotoxin. Group C received hemodynamic support aiming central venous pressure at 8 to 12 mmHg, urinary output 0.5 mL/kg per hour, and mean arterial pressure greater than 65 mmHg. Group G maintained SvO2 greater than 0.65 in addition to the above indicators. The interventions lasted 6 h and at T0-T8 (0, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420 and 480 min) recorded temperature, hemodynamic and oxygen dynamics indexes for each group, and recorded 6 hours for accumulated liquid volume, vascular active drug, and changes of urine. Results There were no significant differences in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) at each time point between group G and group C ( P>0.05). Values of CI and CVP were increased at T4-T8 in group G (P<0.05). Values of MPAP and PVRI were decreased at T8 in group G (P<0.05). Values of SvO2 were increased at T3-T8, O2ER were decreased at T3-T8 (P<0.05), DO2 were increased at T4-T8 (P<0.05), Lac were decreased at T5-T8, andΔp(CO2) was decreased at T8 in group G (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in values of VO2 at T1-T8 between two groups (P>0.05). The amount of intravenous infusion and urine volume were more and the amount of norepinephrine was less in animals of group G (P<0.05). The dosage of dobutamine was more in animals of group G, and which was not used in animals of group C. Conclusion SvO2 guided fluid therapy is more effective than conventional treatment to stabilize hemodynamics and oxygen kinetics, which is characterized by the increased cardiac output, increased oxygen supply, normal oxygen uptake rate and good tissue perfusion.

ABSTRACT

Allene oxide cyclase (AOC), a key enzyme in biosynthesis of jasmonic acid, plays an essential role in the plant defense system. In present study, a full length cDNA of AsAOC gene was cloned by the reverse transcription PCR from Aquilaria sinensis calli. Meanwhile, the bioinformatics, prokaryotic expression, purification, tissue-specific expression analysis, and expression analysis under different abiotic stresses and hormone treatments were performed. The open reading frame (ORF) of AsAOC1 gene was 753 bp, encoding a protein of 251 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass (MW) of 27.46 kD. Bioinformatic analysis showed that AsAOC1 protein contains a conserved allene_ox_cyc domain in C-terminus. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that AsAOC1 protein had the highest level of homology with the AOC protein from Morus notabilis. The recombinant AsAOC1 protein was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells using the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-AsAOC1 and was purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography. Expression analysis in different tissues indicated that AsAOC1 was primarily observed in stems, and then stem tips and roots, following by leaves. The transcript level of AsAOC1 was induced by various abiotic stresses including salt, drought, cold, and heavy metal stress. Furthermore, AsAOC1 expression level was enhanced upon methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA), gibberellin (GA3), and abscisic acid (ABA) treatments. These results provide valuable insights into the role of JA in the mechanism of agarwood formation and plant defense system.

ABSTRACT

YfiBNR is a recently identified bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) signaling system in opportunistic pathogens. It is a key regulator of biofilm formation, which is correlated with prolonged persistence of infection and antibiotic drug resistance. In response to cell stress, YfiB in the outer membrane can sequester the periplasmic protein YfiR, releasing its inhibition of YfiN on the inner membrane and thus provoking the diguanylate cyclase activity of YfiN to induce c-di-GMP production. However, the detailed regulatory mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report the crystal structures of YfiB alone and of an active mutant YfiB(L43P) complexed with YfiR with 2:2 stoichiometry. Structural analyses revealed that in contrast to the compact conformation of the dimeric YfiB alone, YfiB(L43P) adopts a stretched conformation allowing activated YfiB to penetrate the peptidoglycan (PG) layer and access YfiR. YfiB(L43P) shows a more compact PG-binding pocket and much higher PG binding affinity than wild-type YfiB, suggesting a tight correlation between PG binding and YfiB activation. In addition, our crystallographic analyses revealed that YfiR binds Vitamin B6 (VB6) or L-Trp at a YfiB-binding site and that both VB6 and L-Trp are able to reduce YfiB(L43P)-induced biofilm formation. Based on the structural and biochemical data, we propose an updated regulatory model of the YfiBNR system.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate a new strategy of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for donor-specific tolerance induction after heart transplantation. Methods Donor bone marrow cells (BMCs)were harvested simultaneously with donor cardiac graft using modified perfusion method (PM) ,then stored in a -80 ℃ refrigerator after filtration and centrifugation. Whole BMCs (IBM-BMT) (monocytes 1.2 ×107/kg,CD34+ cells 2.38× 105/kg) in host iliac bones were injected into the bone marrow cavity 40 days after heart transplantation. Preconditoning regimens that consisted of fludarabine, antithymoctye globin and total lymphoid irradiation were performed 3 days before BMT. Tacrolimus (Tac) was administrated intravenously after BMT or orally in conjunction with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 3 weeks later.Cyclosporine and MMF were orally administrated 6 weeks later. Donor chimerism was detected using short tandem repeats-polymerase chain reaction in monocytes from peripheral blood at the 2nd,4th, 8th or 12th week after BMT or BMCs at the 4th, 8th or 12th week after BMT. Intramyocardium electrocardiography examination or endomyocardial biopsy was performed weekly or monthly respectively. Mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) were performed 3 months after BMT. Results Donor chimerism in monocytes in peripheral blood or BMCs in iliac bones measured at the 1 st,2nd and 3rd month after BMT was 26.3%, 19.1%,4.8% ,and 46.3%, 24.4%, 7.6%, respectively. After 3-month follow-up, there was no rejection confirmed by endomyocardial biopsy or intramyocardium electrocardiography. Echocardiography revealed that the diastolic and systolic function of the cardiac graft was maintained well 3 months after BMT. MLR revealed donor-specific hyporesponsiveness while immunocompetence was preserved to third-party antigens. Conclusion These findings indicate that the two-stage BMT strategy is a safe and feasible method for the induction of donor-specific tolerance via stable mixed chimerism and needs to be further confirmed after a long-term observation.

The rates of sperm vitality were (6.86 +/- 5.46)%, (65.43 +/- 5.16)%, (60.86 +/- 4.26)% and (46.86 +/- 2.73)% in the exposed groups, significantly lower than in the control (P < 0.01); the rates of abnormal sperm were (39.00 +/- 10.95)%, (35.43 +/- 7.54)%, (45.71 +/- 13.28)% and (56.71 +/- 17.01)%, significantly increased in the 10 and 18 mg/(kg x d) groups (P < 0.05); ACP activities were (82.93 +/- 11.05), (73.52 +/- 8.77), (77.67 +/- 3.04) and (68.56 +/- 3.09) U/g prot, showing a decreasing tendency, while ALP activities were (0.96 +/- 0.15), (1.07 +/- 0.22), (1.12 +/- 0.22) and (0.74 +/- 0.10) U/g prot, displaying a tendency of first increasing and then decreasing. Both ACP and ALP activities were inhibited significantly in the 18 mg/(kg x d) group as compared with the control (P < 0.05). A marked reduction was noted in T levels in the serum, (13.44 +/- 4.76), (7.69 +/- 3.84), (5.23 +/- 1.42) and (1.36 +/- 0.86) ng/ml, as well as in the testis homogenate, (4.95 +/- 1.64), (3.01 +/- 0.76), (2.44 +/- 0.91) and (0.85 +/- 0.49) ng/mg prot, (P < 0.01), but no significant changes were observed in 17beta-E2 levels. After 24 hours exposure to acrylamide, the optical densities were 0.82 +/- 0.06, 0.56 +/- 0.07, 0.44 +/- 0.06, 0.26 +/- 0.03 and 0.45 +/- 0.21, showing an evident inhibition of the activity of Leydig cells at the dose of 0.1, 0.75, 4 and 8 mmol/L (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Subchronic exposure to acrylamide could affect the normal development of sperm, cause changes of the activity of some enzymes in the testis and significantly influence hindlimb motor coordination. Acrylamide directly damages Leydig cells and affects the endocrine function of the testis.</p>

ABSTRACT

Acrylamide is a common chemical material, extensively used in industry and scientific experiments. Recently, it has been reported that starchy food cooked at high temperature can produce acrylamide. Acrylamide monomer has several toxic effects and the extensive concern for its toxicity has arisen with the finding of acrylamide formation in some processed foods. Researches have shown that acrylamide monomer can cause reproductive toxicity, including toxic effects on male reproductive behavior, male reproductive endocrine function and spermatogenesis. The mechanisms may include the effects of acrylamide on Leydig cells, the formation of motor protein/ chromosomal/DNA alkylation and damage by oxidative stress.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the clinical results and perioperative management of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in hemophilic patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From February 1997 to February 2006, the data of 6 total knee arthroplasty performed in 4 hemophilic patients was reviewed retrospectively. The values of coagulation factor were maintained at suitable level by monitoring the activity of the factors and their inhibitors during perioperative period. The mean follow-up time was 4.4 years, knee society score and the last postoperative radiographs were recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After TKA, the hemophilic patients felt pain of knee relieved, the knee function was improved, but the range of motion increased limitedly. At the early post-operative stage, 3 knees in 2 patients with hemarthrosis or muscle bleeding, 1 of the 2 patients complicated with formation of inhibitor of factor VIII and healing problem in 1 knee after TKA, 1 patient with transient paralysis of the common peroneal nerve, 1 patient with venous circulation insufficiency crisis, but no compartment syndrome. In the late stage after TKA, 1 patient with hemarthrosis of both elbows, but no late infection, loosening, displacement and fracture of the prosthesis in the 6 knees.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Total knee arthroplasty could alleviate knee pain and improve joint function in advanced severe hemophilic arthritic patients. It is important to monitor the activity and inhibitors of coagulation factor VIII or IX, which could decrease the early and late postoperative complications.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To discuss the outcomes and complications of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for extension ankylosing deformity of the knee.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 1996 to June 2006, total knee arthroplasty was performed on 8 patients (9 knees) with extension ankylosing deformity. The preoperative ROM of all patients was 0 degrees . Preoperative knee and function score of KSS were 44 points (from 10 to 68) and 17 points (from -10 to 55) respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The complications of all TKAs included patellar tendon avulsion in 1 knee, partial fracture of inferior patella in 1 knee, hematoma in 1, superficial infection in 1. All patients were followed up for an average of 40.4 months (from 7.0 to 120.0). The average postoperative ROM was 89 degrees (from 50 degrees to 120 degrees ). Postoperative knee and function score of KSS were 81 points (from 55 to 93) and 79 points (from 50 to 90) respectively. Extension lag occurred in 2 knees, one was 10 degrees and the other was 25 degrees . One knee had undergone re-revision of changing the thicker tibial spacer for the reason of instability of joint 1 year after revision.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>TKA performed in extension ankylosing deformity can get less satisfactory clinical results comparing with fixed flexion deformity. Exposure of the knee joint and separation of the fused bones, providing a mobile joint space plays crucial procedure for the next step of surgery. Preservation of sufficient bone stock of patella, protection of patellar tendon and blood supply of the knee and proper soft tissue balance are the key to TKA for extension ankylosing deformity.</p>
