RESUMEN
The human resource management of organ donation coordinators in China is still in its infancy stage, plagued by such problems as unclear career orientation, poor management and unclear career planning. In March 2010, a tertiary public hospital was approved as a medical institution in a national pilot province for organ donation. In recent years, the hospital had kept exploring human resource management of coordinators and established a relatively complete management mode for organ donation coordinators. This mode featured the establishment of full-time recruitment positions, development of human resource management plans, refinement of job descriptions, establishment of performance evaluation plans, optimization of assessment and incentive mechanisms, and innovation of talent cultivation modes. The management practice had achieved certain results, ensuring the sustainable development of hospital organ donation operation, and providing a reference for the scientific and standardized development of organ donation and transplantation in China.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effects of mild hypothermia on microglia polarization and janus kinase 2/signal transduction and transcriptional activation factor 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods:Forty-five clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, weighing 260-280 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=15 each) by the random number table method: sham operation group (S group), cerebral I/R group (I/R) and mild hypothermia group (H group). In I/R group and H group, cerebral I/R was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion using a nylon thread in anesthetized animals, the nylon thread was removed to restore the perfusion after 2 h of occlusion, and the rectal temperature was maintained at 36-37 ℃ during the period. Group H was wiped with 75% alcohol for 3 h starting from the time point immediately after reperfusion, and the rectal temperature was maintained at 32-33℃. Modified neurological severity score (mNSS) was evaluated at 24 h of reperfusion. Animals were then sacrificed for determination of the cerebral infarct size (using TTC staining), expression of M1 marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), M2 marker arginase 1(Arg-1), phosphorylated JAK2(p-JAK2)and phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)(by Western blot), expression of iNOS mRNA and Arg-1 mRNA (by quantitative polymerase chain reaction), and contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10 (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:Compared with group S, mNSS and cerebral infarct size were significantly increased, the expression of iNOS, Arg-1 protein and mRNA in cerebral ischemic penumbral zone was up-regulated, and the p-JAK2/JAK2 ratio, p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio, and contents of IL-6 and IL-10 were increased in the other two groups ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R group, mNSS and cerebral infarct size were significantly decreased, the expression of iNOS protein and mRNA in cerebral ischemic penumbral zone was down-regulated, the expression of Arg-1 and mRNA was up-regulated, and the p-JAK2/JAK2 ratio, p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio and IL-6 content were decreased, and the IL-10 content was increased in group H ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Mild hypothermia can promote the polarization shift of microglia from M1 to M2 phenotype during cerebral I/R and inhibit the central inflammatory responses, and the mechanism may be related to inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in rats.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between hippocampal miR-3065-5p and insulin-like growth factor-1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(IGF-1/PI3K/Akt)signaling pathway in a mouse model of perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND).Methods:Eighty clean-grade healthy male C75BL/6 mice, aged 12-14 weeks, weighing 20-30 g, were divided them into 4 groups ( n=20 each) using the random number table method: control group (C group), PND group, miR-3065-5p agonist group (Ag group) and miR-3065-5p agonist negative control group (Ag-NC group). PND model was prepared by internal fixation of tibial fracture under anesthesia with 1.5% isoflurane. Two days before developing the model, miR-3065-5p agomir 2 μl was injected into the lateral ventricle in Ag group, miR-3065-5p agomir negative control 2 μl was injected into the lateral ventricle in Ag-NC group. Morris water maze test and open field test were performed at 7 days after surgery. The mice were sacrificed after the end of test, and hippocampal tissues were obtained for determination of the expression of miR-3065-5p, IGF-1 mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA (by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) and expression of IGF-1, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β (p-GSK3β) and Bcl-2 (by Western blot). Results:There was no significant difference in each parameter in the open field test among the four groups ( P>0.05). Compared with group C, the postoperative escape latency was significantly prolonged, the percentage of time of stay at the target quadrant was decreased, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the expression of miR-3065-5p was up-regulated, and the expression of IGF-1 mRNA, Bcl-2 mRNA, IGF-1, p-Akt, p-GSK3β and Bcl-2 was down-regulated in the other three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with PND group and Ag-NC group, the postoperative escape latency was significantly prolonged, the percentage of time of stay at the target quadrant was decreased, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the expression of miR-3065-5p was up-regulated, and the expression of IGF-1 mRNA, Bcl-2 mRNA, IGF-1, p-Akt, p-GSK3β and Bcl-2 was down-regulated in Ag group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Up-regulation of miR-3065-5p can inhibit the activation of IGF-1/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which might be one of the mechanisms of PND developed in mice.

This study was a single-center large-sample case-control study.Data of 1 106 elderly patients who underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty from June 2013 to May 2019 were collected, including items such as patient′s baseline characteristics, comorbidities, perioperative medication, intraoperative blood pressure, and postoperative outcomes.Patients were divided into postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)group and non-PONV group according to whether nausea and vomiting occurred within 24 h after operation.Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for PONV.The incidence of PONV was 11.03%.Female, intraoperative use of dezocine, and intraoperative hypotension(duration>3 min or cumulative time>6 min)are independent risk factors for PONV, while femoral neck fractures and intraoperative use of dexamethasone are protective factors.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the effect of washing red cell suspension before transfusion in the prevention of hyperkalemia in children undergoing scoliosis orthomorphia.Methods:Thirty-two children who had underwent scoliosis orthomorphia from January 2018 to December 2019 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University, were selected. The children were divided into experiment group and control group by random digits table method with 16 cases each. In experiment group, the red cell suspension was washed by cell-saver before transfusion; in control group, the red cell suspension was infused routinely. Potassium concentration before operation, before blood transfusion, after blood transfusion and after operation was detected. The operation time, autologous blood transfusion, urine output, bleeding volume, allogeneic blood transfusion volume, intake and output, intraoperative blood potassium>5.0 mmol/L and blood transfusion related adverse reactions were recorded.Results:There were no statistical differences in operation time, autologous blood transfusion, urine output, bleeding volume, allogeneic blood transfusion volume, intake and output between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in blood potassium before operation and before blood transfusion between 2 groups ( P>0.05). In control group, the blood potassium after blood transfusion and after operation was significantly higher than that before blood transfusion: (4.5 ± 0.7) and (3.9 ± 0.3) mmol/L vs. (3.7 ± 0.2) mmol/L, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05); in experiment group, the blood potassium after blood transfusion was significantly higher than before blood transfusion: (3.9 ± 0.2) mmol/L vs. (3.8 ± 0.2) mmol/L, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05); the blood potassium after blood transfusion in experiment group was significantly lower than that in control group, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01); there was no statistical difference in blood potassium postoperative between 2 groups ( P>0.05). In control group, 3 cases had transient blood potassium>5.0 mmol/L, and 1 case had blood potassium>6.7 mmol/L and cardiac arrest occurred during the operation; there was no blood potassium>5.0 mmol/L in experiment group. No blood transfusion related adverse reactions occurred in 2 groups. Conclusions:The method of washing red cell suspension before transfusion used in pediatric scoliosis orthomorphia can significantly reduce blood potassium after blood transfusion and effectively avoid the occurrence of hyperkalemia during the operation.
