Role of NORAD in ketamine-induced neurotoxicity in mouse hippocampal neurons: association with endoplasmic reticulum stress / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NORAD in ketamine-induced neurotoxicity in mouse hippocampal neurons and the relationship with endoplasmic reticulum stress.Methods:Primary mouse hippocampal neurons were isolated and cultured and then divided into 5 groups ( n=36 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), ketamine group (group K), ketamine+ pcDNA3.1-NORAD plasmid group (group K+ NORAD), ketamine+ control plasmid group (group K+ NC), and ketamine+ NORAD+ tunicamycin group (group K+ NORAD+ TM). Group C was cultured with normal medium for 24 h. Group K was cultured with 40 μmol/L ketamine for 24 h. Group K+ NORAD was transfected with pcDNA3.1-NORAD overexpressing plasmid for 48 h, followed by treatment with 40 μmol/L ketamine for 24 h. Group K+ NC was transfected with pcDNA3.1 (+ ) plasmid for 48 h, followed by treatment with 40 μmol/L ketamine for 24 h. Group K+ NORAD+ TM was transfected with pcDNA3.1-NORAD overexpressing plasmid, 24 h later endoplasmic reticulum stress activator tunicamycin 1 μg/ml was added and the neurons were cultured for 24 h, and then ketamine 40 μmol/L was added and the neurons were cultured for another 24 h. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. The amount of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released was analyzed. Cell apoptosis was determined by TUNEL and flow cytometry methods. The NORAD expression was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK), phosphorylated PERK (p-PERK) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) was detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with group C, the cell viability was significantly decreased, the amount of LDH released, percentage of apoptotic neurons and apoptosis rate were increased, NORAD expression was down-regulated, CHOP expression was up-regulated, and p-PERK/PERK was increased in group K ( P<0.05). Compared with group K, the cell viability was significantly increased, the amount of LDH released, percentage of apoptotic neurons and apoptosis rate were decreased, NORAD expression was up-regulated, CHOP expression was down-regulated, and p-PERK/PERK was decreased in group K+ NORAD ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group K+ NC ( P>0.05). Compared with group K+ NORAD, the cell viability was significantly decreased, the amount of LDH released, percentage of apoptotic neurons and apoptosis rate were increased, CHOP expression was up-regulated, and p-PERK/PERK was increased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the NORAD expression in group K+ NORAD+ TM ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Over-expressed NORAD can alleviate ketamine-induced neurotoxicity in mouse hippocampal neurons via inhibition of the endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Clinical study on different breast milk enhancement strategies in premature infants / 中国新生儿科杂志

Objective To study the effect of different breast milk enhancement strategies and the incidence of complications in premature infants.Method Premature infants whose gestational age less than 34 weeks and birth weight less than 2 000 g were prospectively enrolled from January 2017 to February 2018 at the Department of Neonatology of Huangshi Maternal and Child Health-Care Hospital.According to the odd even number at the end of the hospitalization admission number,participants were assigned into 50～＜70 ml/(kg· d) group and 70～＜90 ml/(kg· d) group,When the children reached the corresponding amount of breast-feeding to be given breast milk fortifier.The demographic information,incidence of complications,rate of weight gain,percentage of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) and decrease of Z score at discharge were compared between groups.Result A total of 140 cases were included,with gestational age (31.4±1.9) weeks and birth weight (1 402±213) grams.Among the participants,67 infants were assigned to 50～＜70 ml/(kg·d) group,and 73 infants were assigned to 70～＜90 ml/(kg·d) group.There was no statistical difference between two groups in gender,gestational age,birth weight,length,head circumference,rates of asphyxia,ratio of intrauterine growth retardation,Z score of weight at birth,age at which breast milk fortifiers were added,full enteral feeding time,duration of parenteral nutrition,average length of hospital stay and the time of restoration of birth weight (P＞0.05).The proportion of feeding intolerance in 50～ ＜70 ml/(kg· d) group was higher than that in 70～＜90 ml/(kg· d) group (11.9％ vs.4.1％),the difference was statistical significant (P=0.013).There was no statistical difference in other complications between the two groups (P＞ 0.05).The body weight increase rate of premature infants in 50～＜70 ml/ (kg· d) group was higher than that in 70～＜90 ml/(kg· d) group,and decrease of Z score at discharge in 50～＜70 ml/(kg· d) group was lower than that of 70～＜90 ml/(kg· d),the difference was significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Adding breast milk fortifier earlier——when the breast feeding amount of 50～＜70 ml/(kg· d)——is more beneficial to the growth and development of premature infants,it also reduces the incidence of EUGR on discharge.However,during the feeding process,it was necessary to be aware of the complications.

A long-term survival model of 40-min deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in rats / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective To establish a long-term survival model of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in rats,which could contribute to the research of organ damage mechanism and clinical treatments related to DHCA.Methods Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly (random number) divided into the sham group (n=10) and DHCA group (n=10).After anesthesia,a 20 G catheter was cannulated in the tail artery for arterial inflow,a multiorificed catheter in the right jugular vein for venous drainage,and a 24G catheter in the branch of left femoral artery for artery blood pressure monitoring.Rats in the DHCA group underwent DHCA procedure for 40 min after brain temperature cooled to 18℃,then rewarmed for 40 min,till the brain temperature were above 34℃.Rats in the sham group were cannulated but did not undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Hemodynamic parameters and blood gas analysis were measured for 5 times (pre-CPB,15 min after CPB,10 min after rewarming,40 min after rewarming,and 30 min after CPB).Results One rat in the DHCA group died,and the rest rats survived.The lactate level in the DHCA group after rewarming during operation was significantly higher than that in the sham group (7.84 mmol/L vs 1.93 mmol/L,P＜0.05).Conclusions In this study,40-min DHCA model in rats is characterized by safe and long-term survival.

Impact of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy on neonatal mortality and major complications in preterm infants / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective@#To investigate the effect of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP) on the mortality and early complications of premature infants.@*Methods@#The general clinical data of preterm infants with gestational age 24-36+ 6 weeks were collected from the cooperative units in the task group from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014.According to the severity of HDCP, the infants were divided into 4 groups: HDCP group, preeclampsia group, eclampsia group and non HDCP group, the mortality and major complications of preterm infants were compared, and the influencing factors were analyzed.@*Results@#The mortality rate of preterm in the HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ2=9.970, P=0.019). Eclampsia had a highest fatality rate (4.8%) in the early stage, compared with non HDCP group (2.2%), and the difference was statistically significant.Comparison of HDCP group (1.8%) and eclampsia group (3.2%) suggested that there was no statistically significant difference.The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ2=13.241, P=0.004). Eclampsia group showed the highest incidence (35.4%), compared with non HDCP group (16.2%), the difference was statistically significant, but compared with HDCP group (19.9%), preeclampsia group (17.1%), there was no significant diffe-rence.The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group (χ2=9.592, P=0.022), the highest incidence showed up in eclampsia group (9.7%), compared with non HDCP group (2.0%) and HDCP group (1.7%), the difference was statistically significant.But there was no statistically significant difference, compared with preeclampsia group.As the degree of HDCP aggravated, the incidence of BPD gradually rose.There was no significant impact on necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and sepsis of HDCP (χ2=7.054, 7.214, 0.358, 3.852; P=0.070, 0.065, 0.949, 0.278). Considering the overall outcome of the child, that was, whether the child died or survived, he had at least one complication, and HDCP had an effect on it (χ2=15.697, P=0.001), so the incidence increased while the degree of HDCP rose gradually.After adjusting gestational age, birth weight, sex, way of delivery, placental abruption and front placenta, prenatal hormonal, gestational diabetes, neonatal asphyxia and other factors, the results displayed that HDCP was the factor leading to the death of premature baby (OR=2.159, 95%CI: 1.093-4.266), and comparison between preeclampsia and eclampsia showed no statistical difference (P=0.714, 0.389); HDCP had no significant influence on RDS, BDP, ICH, NEC, ROP and sepsis.@*Conclusions@#HDCP leads to increased risk of premature death, but also leads to the increased incidence of RDS and BPD, but it had no obvious effect on NEC, ROP, IVH, sepsis and other complications.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of gallbladder neoplastic polyps,to determine the proper surgical indications,and to understand more about the clinical characteristics of gallbladder adenoma.Methods The clinical data of 748 patients diagnosed to have polypoid lesion of gallbladder (PLG) and underwent cholecystectomy from January 1998 to December 2012 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively reviewed.Results Among 748 patients,340 had abdominal symptoms.Postoperative histopathology showed non-neoplastic polyps (n =659),gallbladder adenoma (n =68),gallbladder cancer (n =15) and no polyps (n =6).The mean diameters of the nonneoplastic lesions and the neoplastic polyps were (9.38 ± 3.44) mm and (14.55 ± 5.71) mm,respectively (P ＜ 0.01).The average age of the patients with non-neoplastic lesions was (44.14 ± 11.42) years and (47.39 ± 12.82) years in those with neoplastic polyps (P ＜ 0.05).The proportion of solitary PLG was 41.4％ (253/611) and 59.59％ (47/79) for the non-neoplastic lesions and the neoplastic polyps respec tively (P ＜ 0.01).The size of PLG (13.34 ± 4.18 mm vs.20.07 ± 8.19 mm,P ＜ 0.05) and the age of the patient (45.78 ± 11.66 years vs.54.13 ± 15.82 years,P ＜0.05) between the gallbladder adenoma and gallbladder cancer groups were significantly different.Gallbladder adenoma or dysplasia was identified in 66.7％ (10/15) of gal1bladder cancer specimens.Conclusions Patients with PLG and with abdominal symptoms,large size (≥ 10 mm),old age (≥50 y) and solitary polyp are indications for cholecystectomy.Gallbladder adenoma may develop to gallbladder cancer within 10 years.

Gene mutation and targeted therapy development of gastrointestinal stromal tumors / 国际外科学杂志

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The constitutive activation of KIT is one of the earlies ttransforming events in GISTs and occurs mainly through activating mutations in the kit gene. PDGFRa is associated with the pathogenesis of GISTs too. The main mutative site of KIT gene are exon11, exon9, exon13 and exon17 and those of PDGFRA are exon18, exon12 and exon14.The clinical parameter and the response to imatinib of GISTs are associated with the site and type of gene mutation. Imatinib mesylate is a small-molecule inhibitor that selectively inhibit the tyrosine kinase and the clinical use of it is one milestone of the targeted therapy of GISTs. We review the gene mutation and targeted therapy development of gastrointestinal stromal tumors in this article.
