Thirty-six critical cases of emergency helicopter transferring between hospitals / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective:To summarize critical cases of emergency helicopter transferring between hospitals and improve the quality and safety of critical care.Methods:The task records of Guangxi Aviation Medical Rescue Training Base from September 2017 to September 2020 were retrieved. The mission acceptance, implementation results, disease spectrum composition, pre-transfer preparation and medical intervention on board were summarized.Results:① General information: a total of 168 patients of helicopter transfer requests were registered, of which 36 patients were transferred, 35 patients were successful, 1 patient had cardiac arrest during the landing phase, and died several hours after continuous resuscitation. Of the 36 patients 30 were males and 6 were females, with median age of 50.5 (29.8, 66.0) years old, the average transfer time was (54.95±17.89) minutes, and the average transfer distance was (205.74±74.68) km. ② Disease spectrum included 11 cases of stroke (30.55%), 7 cases of trauma (19.45%), 5 cases of severe pneumonia (13.89%), 5 cases of heart and macro-vascular diseases (13.89%), 5 cases of abdominal emergency (13.89%), and 3 other conditions (8.33%).③ Severity: 31 patients (86.11%) were severe (≥15) according to acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score; 19 patients (52.78%) were high-risk emergency transport (≥6) according to Hamilton early warning score (HEWS); 6 patients (85.71% of trauma patients) were severe trauma (≥16) according to injury severity score (ISS). ④ Preparation before transfer: remote consultation was carried out to evaluate the latest state of the patient's condition, especially the respiratory and circulatory conditions. Relevant items were reviewed and emergency treatments were implemented when necessary. Targeted preparation was made for accidents that might occur during transfer, such as electrocardiogram (94.44%), blood gas analysis (94.44%), brain CT (36.11%) and other auxiliary examinations, endotracheal intubation or tracheotomy (72.22%), deep vein catheterization (91.67%), placement of gastric tube (86.11%) and urinary tube (88.89%), adjustment of sedative (38.89%), vasoactive drugs (58.33%) and drugs for dehydration and lowering intracranial pressure (33.33%), and fixation of fracture (11.11%), etc. ⑤ On-board medical intervention: cardiac monitoring, blood pressure, respiration and blood oxygen monitoring were carried out in all patients. The parameters of patients using ventilator were adjusted in time (66.67%). The dosage of patients using micropump was adjusted in time (91.67%). Other aspects included the use of sedative and analgesics (38.89%), sputum suction nursing (75.00%), all kinds of catheter nursing (endotracheal intubation/incision nursing of 72.22%, indwelling catheter nursing of 88.89%), and cardiopulmonary resuscitation for patient with cardiac arrest (2.78%).Conclusion:As the patients transferred by helicopter are mainly those of critically ill at this stage, the requirements for airborne medical equipment and rescue technology are high, and there is an urgent need to establish technical specifications and personnel training standards.

Salivary exosomal PSMA7: a promising biomarker of inflammatory bowel disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an intestinal immune-dysfunctional disease worldwide whose prevalence increasing in Asia including China. It is a chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract with unknown cause. Exosomes are small vesicles in various body fluids. They have diameters of 40-120 nm, and one of their functions is long-distance transfer of various substances. In this study, we investigated the contents of salivary exosomes in patients with IBD and in healthy controls to explore a new biomarker in patients with IBD. In this study, whole saliva was obtained from patients with IBD (ulcerative colitis (UC), n = 37; Crohn's disease (CD), n = 11) and apparently healthy individuals (HC, n = 10). Salivary exosomes were extracted from samples, and the proteins within the exosomes were identified by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). The results showed that more than 2000 proteins were detected in salivary exosomes from patients with IBD. Through gene ontology analysis, we found that proteasome subunit alpha type 7 (PSMA7) showed especially marked differences between patients with IBD and the healthy controls, in that its expression level was much higher in the CD and UC groups. This exosomal protein is related to proteasome activity and inflammatory responses. So we conclude that in this research, salivary exosomal PSMA7 was present at high levels in salivary exosomes from subjects with IBD. It can be a very promising biomarker to release the patients from the pain of colonoscopy.

Overview of molecular diagnosis and targeted treatment of tumor / 国际肿瘤学杂志

The occurrence and outcome of cancer is related to the involved gene;Detecting the expres-sion of gene in body by the real-time PCR technology can diagnose and evaluate the prognosis of patients early. Through analyzing the abnormal genes and molecular,designing and studying the targeted drugs can achieve the therapeutic effect of steady,accurate,relentless,at the same time to reduce side effects and to improve the quality of life.

Study of Cinnamic aldehyde effects on expression of E-cadherin and MMP-9 through SHH signaling pathway in lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells / 中国免疫学杂志

Objective:To investigate Cinnamic aldehyde effects on expression of E-cadherin and MMP-9 and proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells,and explore the possible mechanism of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling transduction.Methods:After co-cultured with Cinnamic aldehyde at the concentration of 0,10,20 and 40 μg/ml for 24 h,48 h and 72 h respectively,A549 cells were tested for their proliferation by MTT assay;E-cadherin and MMP-9 level in the supernatant by ELISA;expression of E-cadherin and MMP-9 mRNA by realtime-PCR with SYBR GreenⅠ;and protein expression by Western blot.Results: ①Cinnamic adehyde with concentration at 10 μg/ml would inhibited proliferation of A 549 cells after 24 hours′treatment;with concentration at 10, 20 and 40μg/ml can affect the proliferation significantly ( P<0.05 );with concentration of 40μg/ml cinnamic adehyde for 72 h,the re-markably inhibition of proliferation in A 549 cells was observed , the highest inhibitory rate was ( 93.782 ±5.036 )%.②Cinnamic aldehyde also increased migration rate of A 549 cells.③Expression of components on Hedgehog signaling pathway in A 549 was higher than that in human HBE cells.Cinnamic aldehyde could increase further upregulate of components expression in Hedgehog signaling pathway of A549 cells.④Secretion level of E-cadherin,mRNA and protein were decreased in A549 cells co-cultured with Cinnamic al-dehyde,while secretion level of MMP-9,mRNA and protein level in A549 cells co-cultured with cinnamic aldehyde were increased.Pre-treatment with 2 nmol/ml cyclopamine,an increasing of secretion level of E-cadherin ,mRNA and protein level in A549 cells was observed,decreasing of secretion level of E-cadhein,mRNA and protein level was also observed in A 549 cells.Conclusion:Cinnamic aldehyde inhibits the proliferation in a time-and dose-dependent manner and effected expression of E-cadherin and MMP-9 through sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in lung adenocarcinoma A 549 cells.
