Investigation on status quo and subtypes of postoperative delirium in children with congenital heart disease / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To describe the status quo and subtypes of postoperative delirium (POD) in children with congenital heart disease in China.Methods:A total of 216 children with congenital heart disease who underwent surgery in Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from December 2020 to June 2021 were prospectively observed. The status quo and subtypes of POD in children with congenital heart disease was evaluated according to the results of the Cornell assessment of pediatric delirium (CAPD).Results:POD occurred in 114 children (52.78%) during the study period. The onset time of POD was most on the first postoperative day (50.88%). POD lasted only 1 day in 54.39% of the children who developed it. The incidence of POD subtypes (hyperactive delirium, hypoactive delirium, mixed delirium) were 35.09%, 29.82% and 35.09%, respectively, and there was no significant difference in the incidence distribution among them ( χ2=0.63, P>0.05). The onset time of mixed delirium was significantly later than that of hyperactive delirium ( χ2=7.07, P<0.05), and the duration of mixed delirium was significantly longer than that of hypoactive delirium ( χ2=16.81, P<0.001). The results showed that if the child had blood transfusion during operation or the operation was difficult, the probability of reduced activity delirium after operation was higher ( P<0.016 7). Children wieth moderate to severe postoperative pain or short duration of muscle relaxant use during the evaluation period were more likely to have a hyperactive postoperative delirium.( P<0.016 7). The time of tracheal intubation, the time of hospitalization after operation and the the postoperative time in PICU were the longest in the children with mixed type of postoperative delirium ( P<0.016 7). Conclusions:POD has a high incidence in children with congenital heart disease, and it is more likely to occur in the early postoperative stage. Therefore, early postoperative identification and intervention of POD is of great significance for children with congenital heart disease. Children with different characteristics are prone to different types of POD, which should be paid attention to.

Affinity transfer of nanobodies to a CDR3 only single-domain antibody fragment NBL42 / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Objective:To evaluate the potential of a previously identified CDR3 only single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) fragment, NBL42, as a general framework for affinity transfer.Methods:The H3 loops of VHH-A4(A4), VHH-H5(H5), cAb-Lys3(L3) and B6H12 which bind with alliinase, PD-1, lysozyme and CD47, respectively, were grafted into the corresponding loop of NBL42. The genes of the reconstituted CDR3 only sdAbs were synthesized, expressed in E. coliand purified with Ni 2+ column affinity chromatography. The antigen binding and stability of the recombinant CDR3 only sdAbs were assayed by ELISA. Results:The recombinant NBL42-A4CDR3, NBL42-H5CDR3, NBL42-L3CDR3 and NBL42-B6H12CDR3 ran as a single peak at 15, 15, 28 and 16 kDa, respectively, in SDS-PAGE as expected molecular weight. Grafted sdAbs NBL42-A4CDR3 and NBL42-H5CDR3 expressed in a soluble form and specifically bind with alliinase and PD-1, respectively, but lost about 50% of their binding activity. In contrast, the grafted sdAbs NBL42-Lys3CDR3 and NBL42-B6H12CDR3 completely lost their antigen binding capacity. NBL42 sdAbs and grafted sdAbs NBL42-A4CDR3 and NBL42-H5CDR3 retain roughly half of their binding activity after 90 ℃ heat treatment, indicating high stability. The C88Y mutation in NBL42 and the Swiss Mode 3D model predicted that the C88Y residue in FR3 may play a key role in NBL42 stability and CDR3 affinity transfer.Conclusions:The structure of NBL42 has potential as a framework for CDR3 transplantation and affinity transfer.

Association between carcinoembryonic antigen and metabolic syndrome in females / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective:To explore the relationship between carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in females.Methods:The study involved 11337 women who visited the health check-up system in Health Management Center of a general hospital in Shandong province between January 2014 and December 2015. By grouping CEA by quartiles, logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationship between CEA and MetS and its components.Results:The prevalence of MetS was 16.4 %, and abnormal levels of CEA accounted for 7.1% of patients with MetS which exceeded the general physical examination population (3.2%). The level of CEA increased with the increase of the number of metabolic components. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that people with high levels of carcinoembryonic antigen were at higher risk for metabolic syndrome( χ2=18.374, P<0.01). Compared with the level of CEA in Q1, CEA levels in Q2, Q3, and Q4 were statistically related to MetS. The OR values were 1.25(95% CI 1.03-1.52), 1.25(95% CI 1.03-1.51) and 1.42(95% CI 1.17-1.72), respectively. Conclusion:For females, the study suggests that there is a relationship between CEA and MetS. The increased CEA level in patients with MetS should be carefully explained in clinical practice.

Disruption of OsRhoGDI2 by CRISPR/Cas9 technology leads to semi-dwarf in rice / 生物工程学报

OsRhoGDI2 was isolated as a putative partner of Rho protein family member OsRacD from rice panicles by yeast two-hybrid, but its function remains unknown. In order to identify the function of OsRhoGDI2, OsRhoGDI2 knockout mutants were created by CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The results showed that two different homozygous mutants were obtained in T0 generation, and eight kinds homozygous mutants were identified in T1 generation. Sequence analysis revealed that the base substitution or base deletion occurred near the editing targets of the gene in knockout rice, and it could be expected that the truncated OsRhoGDI2 proteins lacking the RhoGDI conserved domain would be generated. Phenotype analysis showed that the OsRhoGDI2 knockout rice plants were significantly lower than the control plants. Statistical analysis confirmed that the significant decrease of plant height was due to the shortening of the second and third internodes, suggesting that OsRhoGDI2 gene may be related with rice height control.

Thoracic dorsal artery perforating flap transplantation under high-frequency ultrasound guidance / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:The most advanced and representative diagnosis techniques for perforating branch of blood vessels include digital subtraction angiography, CT, MRI and other imaging techniques. These methods can visualize blood vessels clearly and have a high precision, but there are some trauma and less popular. OBJECTIVE:To apply high-frequency ultrasound for detection of thoracic dorsal artery and perforating branch, and provide a reference for preoperative design of thoracic dorsal artery perforating flap. METHODFifteen patients candidate for thoracic dorsal artery perforating flap were included in this study. Before surgery, we used high-frequency ultrasound to detect the perforating branch, including vascular contorts, diameter, the location of the perforators and surface markers. The thick, superficial, paral el perforating branch was selected as the main blood vessels, to design and cur the skin flap. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the involved 15 cases, thoracic dorsal artery were derived from the subscapular artery, thoracic dorsal artery and its main branches, as wel as more than 1 mm main perforating branch in 13 cases were clearly visible. It was consistent with intraoperative measurement results. The perforating branch less than 1 mm only showed strip-like blood flow signal or no blood flow and spectrum signal, and there was an unclear boundary to surrounding tissue. One case appeared distortion and variation of blood vessels before surgery, thus changed to other surgery. Two cases had no perforating branch by preoperative detection, which was then confirmed by intraoperative anatomy. High-frequency ultrasound has a significant effect on preoperative position of perforating branch, and the combination with computer tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography can support a more comprehensive and reliable reference.

The incidence of premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, postpartum hemorrhage, fetal distress of satisfactory group were lower than those of unsatisfactory group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion GDM can cause great harm to maternal and child health, and satisfactory blood glucose control during pregnancy may reduce maternal and child complications.

Effect of calcitonin on bone mineral density and biomechanics around the artificial prosthesis in the rabbit of diabetic osteoporosis model / 中国医师杂志

Objective To investigate the influence of calcitonin on bone mineral density and biomechanics around the artificial pros-thesis in ovariectomized diabetic rabbit model. Methods Fourteen femina New Zealand white rabbits at the age of 5 months old were select-ed, which weight 2.24 -2.65kg, averaging 2.26kg. First, the model of rabbit with diabetic osteoporosis was successfully established by the compound method of ovariectomy plus streptozotocin. Osteotomy in the middle part of femur was performed in both groups, fixation of artifi-cial prosthesis was done with 3.0 kirschner wire. After that, Rabbit models with diabetic osteoporosis were randomly divided into experimen-tal group and control group. Rabbits in the experimental group were treated with calcitonin 6U intramuscular injection once every other day. In control group, intramuscular injection of normal saline solution 1.5ml once every three days. Rabbit models of two groups were sacrificed in the 24th week. The BMD of the region of interest (ROI) around the prosthesis were detected before experiment and 8, 16 and 24 weeks after injection. After rabbits were killed, experimental femurs in both groups were complete removal and soft tissues were rejected. Determi-nation of the pull-out and torsion bone biomechanics experiments of prosthesis was done in both groups respectively. Results The BMD of ROI in the experimental group before operation was (0.1863±0.004)g/cm2 and (0.1753±0.005)g/cm2 in 24 weeks after operation, in control group before operation was (0.1865±0.002)g/cm2 and (0.1638±0.005)g/cm2 in 24 weeks after operation. There were significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.05). Biomechanical show that the pull-out strength in the experimental group was (312.68±8.73 )N/cm2 and (205.43±12.45 ) N/cm2 in control group. There were significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.05). The tor-sion strength in experimental group was (80.47±2.51) N/cm2 and (38.52±0.64) N/cm2 in control group. There were significant differ-ence between the two groups(P < 0.05). Conclusion Salmon calcitonin can reduce the bone turnover rate around prosthesis and decrease bone absorption in the rabbit of diabetic osteoporosis models, accelerate the bone formation around prosthesis, and increase the BMD. It can ameliorate the quality of bone around prosthesis, improve its biomechanics property, and increase the holding power between prosthesis and body mass. It is of clinical significance for the prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening artificial prosthesis.

Study on the relationship between the resting heart rate and target organ damage in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship between the resting heart rate (RHR) and target organ damage (TOD) in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome(MS). Methods 264 elderly patients with MS were divided into four groups according to the level of RHR: RHR1 group, RHR<65 beats/minute (bpm) (46 cases) ;RHR2 group, 65≤RHR<75 bpm (77 cases);RHR3 group, 75 bpm≤RHR<85 bpm (89 cases);RHR4 group, RHR≥85 bpm (52 cases).Electrocardiography, echocardiography, carotid uhrasonography, crcatinine clearance rate (Ccr) and quantitative assay of 24 hours' albuminuria were performed. Results (1) Compared with RHR1, RHR2 and RHR3 groups, RHR4 group showed higher levels of carotid intima-medial thickness (IMT), carotid arterial diameter (CAD), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and albuminuria(P< 0.05 or P<0.01), and lower levels of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and Ccr (all P< 0.01). (2) The IMT, CAD, LVMI and albuminuria were positively correlated with RHR (r=0.33, 0.23, 0.61, 0.58, respectively, all P<0.01). However, the LVEF and Ccr were negatively correlated with RHR (r=-0.59, -0.51, all P<0.01). (3) Logistic multivariate analysis showed that RHR and pulse pressure (PP) had effects on myocardial hypertrophy, coronary heart disease, heart failure, cerebral stroke and renal dysfunction(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Except heart failure, PP played a more important role than RHR. Coneinsions RHR may be an independent risk factors for TOD in elderly patients with MS,and RHR regulation is important for the development of MS in the elderly.
