Effects of Different Tidal Volumes and PEEPs on Cardiac Output in Pigs Measured by Pulmonary Artery Catheter， Pulse Contour Analysis and Transpulmonary Thermodilution / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different tidal volumes and positive end expiratory pressures （PEEPs） during mechanical ventilation on the cardiac output of pigs measured by pulmonary artery catheter， transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis， and to explore their consistency in cardiac output determination. MethodsTwelve experimental pigs were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups， with 4 pigs in each. Cardiac output was measured by different methods， control group by pulmonary artery catheter， group A by transpulmonary thermodilution and group B by pulse contour analysis. Then we compared the effects of different tidal volumes and PEEPs on the cardiac output of pigs and to explore the consistency. The correlation coefficient between pulse contour analysis and pulmonary artery catheter was r=0.754， and they were positively correlated. The correlation coefficient between transpulmonary thermodilution and pulmonary artery catheter was r=0.771， and they were positively correlated. In determining cardiac output， pulse contour analysis was consistent with pulmonary artery catheter， with a relative error of 13.5% between them； transpulmonary thermodilution was consistent with pulmonary artery catheter， with a relative error of 12.9% between them. The cardiac output decreased significantly along with the increase of tidal volumes or PEEPs and the differences were statistically significant （P<0.05） ConclusionPulmonary artery catheter， transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis are well consistent with each other in measuring the cardiac output of pigs. The pigs’cardiac output gradually decreased along with the increase of tidal volumes or PEEPs during mechanical ventilation.

Oral anti-coagulants use in Chinese hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Oral anti-coagulants (OAC) are the intervention for the prevention of stroke, which consistently improve clinical outcomes and survival among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The main purpose of this study is to identify problems in OAC utilization among hospitalized patients with AF in China.@*METHODS@#Using data from the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Atrial Fibrillation (CCC-AF) registry, guideline-recommended OAC use in eligible patients was assessed.@*RESULTS@#A total of 52,530 patients with non-valvular AF were enrolled from February 2015 to December 2019, of whom 38,203 were at a high risk of stroke, 9717 were at a moderate risk, and 4610 were at a low risk. On admission, only 20.0% (6075/30,420) of patients with a diagnosed AF and a high risk of stroke were taking OAC. The use of pre-hospital OAC on admission was associated with a lower risk of new-onset ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack among the diagnosed AF population (adjusted odds ratio: 0.54, 95% confidence interval: 0.43-0.68; P  <0.001). At discharge, the prescription rate of OAC was 45.2% (16,757/37,087) in eligible patients with high stroke risk and 60.7% (2778/4578) in eligible patients with low stroke risk. OAC utilization in patients with high stroke risk on admission or at discharge both increased largely over time (all P  <0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that OAC utilization at discharge was positively associated with in-hospital rhythm control strategies, including catheter ablation (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 11.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 10.04-13.47; P <0.001), electronic cardioversion (adjusted OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.65-3.51; P <0.001), and anti-arrhythmic drug use (adjusted OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.38-1.53; P <0.001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#In hospitals participated in the CCC-AF project, >70% of AF patients were at a high risk of stroke. Although poor performance on guideline-recommended OAC use was found in this study, over time the CCC-AF project has made progress in stroke prevention in the Chinese AF population.Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02309398.

Genetic analysis of two children with Coffin-Siris syndrome due to variants of ARID1B gene / 中华医学遗传学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the genetic basis of two children with unexplained psychomotor developmental delay and facial dysmorphisms suggestive of Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS).@*METHODS@#A boy and a girl suspected for CSS at the 980th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army Joint Service Support Force respectively in July 2019 and January 2021, and seven members from their families, were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data and family history of the children were collected, and detailed physical examination was carried out, in addition with laboratory and related auxiliary examinations. Potential variants and copy number variations (CNVs) were detected by whole exome sequencing (WES) and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq).@*RESULTS@#Child 1, an 8-month-old female, had featured microcephaly, atrial septal defect, curving of fifth finger/toe, and low limb muscle tone. Child 2 was a 2.5-year-old male with language delay, social impairment, dense hair but no curving of the fifth fingers. Genetic testing revealed that child 1 had loss of heterozygosity for exons 8 to 21 of the ARID1B gene, which was unreported previously. Family verification showed that both of her parents were of the wild type. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and American Society of Molecular Pathology (AMP), the variant was rated as pathogenic (PVS1+PS2+PM2-supporting). Child 2 was found to harbor a heterozygous c.4263-6 (IVS17) T>G variant of the ARID1B gene. Transcriptome sequencing confirmed that the variant can affect the normal splicing, resulting in retention of a 5 bp sequence in intron 17. Family verification showed that both of his parents were of the wild type. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, the variant was rated as pathogenic (PS2+PM2-supporting+PP3+PS3).@*CONCLUSION@#WES and RNA-seq have confirmed the diagnosis of CSS in both children. Discovery of the novel variants has expanded the spectrum of pathogenic mutations underlying CSS, and provided a basis for the genetic counseling.

Influence of automated flexible endoscope channel brushing system on endoscopic cleaning quality / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective:To evaluate the effect of automated flexible endoscope channel brushing system (AFECBS) on endoscope reprocessing.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. The used endoscopes were divided into automatic group and manual group by random number table method, 200 in each group. In the automatic group, the AFECBS was used to scrub each tube 3 times during endoscope cleaning; and in the manual group, scrubbing and disinfection personnel routinely brushed each pipeline for 3 times. The primary end point was the qualified rate of endoscopic cleaning quality in the two groups, and the secondary end point was the time spent by the scrubbing and disinfection personnel on the two groups.Results:The qualified rate of overall cleaning in the automatic group was 90.0% (180/200), and in the manual group was 81.0% (162/200). The qualified rate of the automatic group was higher than that of the manual group ( χ2=6.534, P=0.011). The qualified rate of gastroscope cleaning in the automatic group was higher than that in the manual group [92.0% (127/138) VS 81.6% (120/147), χ2=6.658, P=0.010]. There was no significant difference in the qualified rate of colonoscope cleaning between the automatic group and the manual group [85.5% (53/62) VS 79.2% (42/53), χ2=0.774, P=0.379]. When the cleaning personnel scoured 5 endoscopes in each of the two groups, the time of the automatic group (5.17±0.42 min) was shorter than that of the manual group (9.60±0.53 min) ( t=92.644, P<0.001). Conclusion:Compared with manual scrubbing, AFECBS can improve the qualified rate of endoscope cleaning and the work efficiency of scrubbing and disinfection personnel, which is worthy of clinical application.

Research progress on the mechanism of metachronous gastric cancer after endoscopic submucosal dissection and Helicobacter pylori eradication in early gastric cancer / 解放军医学杂志

Helicobacter pylori(HP)infection is a Class Ⅰ carcinogen in gastric cancer,closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer.Many studies have shown that HP eradication has a preventive effect on gastric cancer.However,2.7%-6.1%of patients with early gastric cancer who have been eradicated after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)can still develop metachronous gastric cancer(MGC),and the mechanism of its occurrence is still unclear.In this review,the atrophy of gastric mucosa and intestinal metaplasia cannot be completely reversed after HP eradication,the excessive proliferation of gastric mucosa epithelial cells,the accumulation of genetic abnormalities,the homeostasis imbalance of the epigenetic group,changes in immune microenvironment,the abnormality of stem cells in gastric mucosa,chromatin accessibility,and changes in chromosome remodeling were discussed in the mechanism of carcinogenesis caused by the above molecular changes after ESD and HP eradication in early gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the role of protective function of Sestrin2(Sesn2)to mitochondria in alleviating cognitive dysfunction in mice with sepsis-associated encephalopathy(SAE).Methods 6-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups:sham group,CLP group and CLP plus eupatilin group,40 mice in each group.A sepsis model was induced by cecal ligation and perforation(CLP).The CLP plus eupatilin group was treated with eupatilin.Neurobehavioral test and Morris water maze(MWM)were used to deter-mine neurobehavior and spatial learning and memory function in mice.The number of neurons in hippocampal CA1 area was counted by Nissl staining.HT22 cells were randomly divided into a control group(Con),lipopolysaccha-ride group(LPS),LPS plus eupatilin treatment group(LPS plus eupatilin)and LPS plus eupatilin and Nrf2 siRNA treatment group(LPS plus eupatilin and si-Nrf2).Apoptosis was analyzed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling(TUNEL)staining,Mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)was used to analyze mitochondrial damage.Results Seven days after CLP,as compared with sham mice,Sesn2 in hippocampus and cortex decreased significantly in CLP mice(P<0.01).As compared with CLP group,the survival rate in CLP plus eupatilin group increased significantly(P<0.05).As compared with sham group,the mice in CLP group showed a relatively high nerve injury score(P<0.05),and had fewer platform crossings and shorter target stay time,while the mice in CLP plus eupatilin group exhibited a lower injury score(P<0.05),and stayed in the target area for a longer time(P<0.05).As compared with sham group,the co-localization rate of neurons,Sesn2 and Nrf2 in CLP group decreased significantly(P<0.05),and the number of CD68/Iba-1 positive microglia increased significantly(P<0.05),while CLP plus eupatilin group reversed these changes.As compared with Con group,apoptosis and MMP level in LPS group increased significantly(P<0.01),while apoptosis and MMP level in LPS plus eupatilin group were lower than those in LPS group(P<0.05).However,Nrf2 knockdown(LPS plus eupatilin and si-Nrf2 group)reversed the anti-apoptosis and mitochondrial protection of eupatilin.Conclusions Eupatilin can alleviate cognitive dysfunction and neurological deficit in SAE mice by activating Sesn2-Nrf2 pathway,and improve inflammatory microenvironment by alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction.

Precise Clinical Positioning of Chinese Patent Medicine in Paradigm of "Target Spectral Effect of Prescription"： A Case Study of Qizhi Tongluo Capsules / 中国实验方剂学杂志

The clinical value of Chinese patent medicine is the core direction of the development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry. The precise clinical positioning determines the way to prove the value of the drug， and is a key link to highlight the clinical value. This paper presented a case study of clinical positioning for Chinese patent medicine， namely Qizhi Tongluo capsules， and the key technical framework of precise clinical positioning of Chinese patent medicine， which was manifested as a comparison of prescription target spectral effect， discovery of core value of prescription， and confirmation of clinical positioning trial. The technical framework was designed to address a range of issues in the realm of precise clinical positioning. Before the clinical positioning trial， based on the multi-component， multi-target， and multi-phenotype data of prescription and clinical indication， the multi-omics network analysis technology was used to identify the core value of the traditional Chinese medicine varieties and predict the potential clinical advantages. Then， based on the predicted clinical advantages， reasonable efficacy indicators were selected， and the clinical efficacy was judged and verified by dynamic and flexible innovative clinical trials to improve the success rate of clinical positioning. This research paradigm integrates "omics technology" with "evidence-based" principles and follows the "precise evidence-based" concept. This research aims to provide a new strategy and method for the precise medication and positioning of Chinese patent medicine with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics after being put into the market and provide more technical thinking for traditional Chinese medicine to move towards precise medicine.

Analysis on comprehensive noise control effects in an automobile engine manufacturing enterprise / 中国职业医学

ObjectiveTo analyze the measures and effects of comprehensive noise control in an automobile engine manufacturing enterprise. Methods An automobile engine manufacturing enterprise with noise exposure work-sites was selected as the research subject. The noise hazard status of the enterprise was investigated. The noise hazard exceeded the national standard in work-sites was comprehensively treated. The treatment effect was analyzed. Results A total of 395 work-sites exposed to noise were detected. Among them, 16 work-sites exceeded the national noise standard, with the rate of 4.1%. The work-sites with noise exceeding the national standard were mainly in the machine workshop and the casting workshop, with normalization of equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level to a nominal eight hours working day (LEX,8h) ranging from 86.8 to 89.2 and 85.2 to 90.2 dB(A), respectively. In addition, the classification of occupational noise exposure of the mold protection group in the casting workshop was level Ⅱ, and classification of occupational noise exposure of other work-sites with excessive national standard was grade Ⅰ. After the enterprise implemented noise control measures such as process reform, equipment replacement, sound insulation, noise reduction, sound absorption, and vibration isolation, the LEX,8h of nine positions were lower than those before rectification ［(86.7±1.1) vs (83.3±1.3) dB(A), P<0.01］. Conclusion The use of comprehensive control measures can achieve the purpose of reducing noise from the sources, and can be used for reference by relevant enterprises with noise hazards.
