RESUMO
Background/Aims@#Mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) is a new reflux metric for mucosal integrity. It remains unclear whether MNBI can help identify evidence against pathological reflux by the Lyon Consensus in patients with refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. @*Methods@#Three hundred and forty-nine patients with refractory GERD symptoms enrolled in this study were subjected to high-resolution manometry, 24-hour multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring, and endoscopy. Conventional indexes (ie, reflux events and acid exposure time) and the novel index (MNBI) of MII-pH monitoring were extracted and analyzed. The value of MNBI in diagnosing patients with evidence against pathologic reflux was evaluated by receiver-operating-characteristic analysis. @*Results@#There were 102 (29.2%) patients with evidence against pathologic reflux, 149 (42.7%) with inconclusive or borderline evidence and 98 (28.1%) with conclusive evidence for pathologic reflux. The MNBI was significantly higher while the proportion of pathological MNBI was significantly lower in subjects with evidence against pathologic reflux than in patients with inconclusive or borderline evidence and in patients with conclusive evidence for pathologic reflux (2444.3 [1977.9-2997.4] vs 1992.8 [1615.5-2253.6] and vs 1772.3 [758.6-2161.3], both P < 0.001; 42.2% vs 79.7% and vs 80.0%, both P < 0.05). When identifying evidence against pathologic reflux in patients with refractory GERD symptoms, the MNBI yielded an area under the curve of 0.749 (P < 0.001) at a cutoff value of 1941.8 Ω. @*Conclusions@#The MNBI has a good diagnostic value for evidence against pathological reflux in patients with refractory GERD symptoms. For its simplicity and reproducibility, we believe that MNBI should be referred to in reports of impedance-pH tracings by physicians.

RESUMO
Objective:To study the effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics and induced antibiotic-resistant bacteria on the efficacy of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy for mice with colon cancer and to investigate the underlying mechanisms associated with anti-tumor immune responses.Methods:BALB/c mice were subcutaneously injected with CT26 colon cancer cells and randomized into four groups: tumor-bearing control group, antibiotic group treated with ampicillin, streptomycin and colistin, 5-FU group and anitibiotic+ 5-FU group. Tumor volumes and body weights were measured and recorded. Seven days after the last 5-FU treatment, the percentages of splenic immune cell subpopulations and proliferated CD8 + T cells after co-culturing with CT26 were analyzed by flow cytometry. Gut microbiota composition was detected by 16S rRNA sequencing and the bacteria in mesenteric lymph nodes (mLN) were isolated and cultured. Bone marrow-derive macrophages were stimulated with identified bacteria and the expression of M1 and M2 polarization markers were assessed by quantitative PCR. The proliferation of CD8 + T cells co-cultured with bacteria-treated macrophages was analyzed by flow cytometry. In addition, tumor-bearing mice were treated with 5-FU and oral gavage of bacteria isolated from antibiotic+ 5-FU group or PBS. Tumor volumes, gut microbiota composition and the percentages of proliferated CD8 + T cells co-cultured with CT26 were assessed. Results:Tumor volumes were larger and body weights were lower in the antibiotic+ 5-FU group than in the 5-FU group. The percentages of CD4 + T cells, CD8 + T cells and neutrophils did not varied significantly after using antibiotics, however, the percentage of monocytes was increased in the antibiotic group. The percentage of proliferated tumor-specific CD8 + T cells in the antibiotic+ 5-FU group was decreased compared with that in the 5-FU group. Compared with the control group and 5-FU group, antibiotic usage was associated with the changes in gut microbiota composition with decreased α diversity indexes. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Proteus mirabilis were isolated from mLNs of the antibiotic group, 5-FU group and antibiotic+ 5-FU group, respectively. Bone marrow-derived macrophages stimulated with Proteus mirabilis expressed arginase at a high level, which was a M2 polarization marker of macrophage, and associated with the decreased percentage of proliferated CD8 + T cells after co-culturing. Bacteria of the genus Proteus were enriched in the gut microbiota of 5-FU-treated tumor-bearing mice with the oral gavage of Proteus mirabilis. Although no significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth was observed, the oral gavage of Proteus mirabilis was associated with the decreased percentage of proliferated tumor-specific CD8 + T cells in vitro. Conclusions:Broad-spectrum antibiotics inhibited the efficacy of chemotherapy and the proliferation of tumor-specific CD8 + T cells, in which antibiotic-resistant bacteria might be involved.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND@#Despite improvements in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, breast cancer is still a leading cause of cancer death for women. Compelling evidence suggests that targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) have a crucial impact on overcoming the current shortcomings of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In the present study, we aimed to study the effects of T cells and a critical anti-tumor cytokine, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), on breast cancer stem cells.@*METHODS@#BALB/c mice and BALB/c nude mice were subcutaneously injected with 4T1 tumor cells. Tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis were assessed. ALDEFLOUR™ assays were performed to identify aldehyde dehydrogenasebright (ALDHbr) tumor cells. ALDHbr cells as well as T cells from tumor-bearing BALB/c mice were analyzed using flow cytometry. The effects of CD8+ T cells on ALDHbr tumor cells were assessed in vitro and in vivo. The expression profiles of ALDHbr and ALDHdim 4T1 tumor cells were determined. The levels of plasma IFN-γ were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and their associations with the percentages of ALDHbr tumor cells were evaluated. The effects of IFN-γ on ALDH expression and the malignancy of 4T1 tumor cells were analyzed in vitro.@*RESULTS@#There were fewer metastatic nodules in tumor-bearing BALB/c mice than those in tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mice (25.40 vs. 54.67, P < 0.050). CD8+ T cells decreased the percentages of ALDHbr 4T1 tumor cells in vitro (control vs. effector to target ratio of 1:1, 10.15% vs. 5.76%, P < 0.050) and in vivo (control vs. CD8+ T cell depletion, 10.15% vs. 21.75%, P < 0.001). The functions of upregulated genes in ALDHbr 4T1 tumor cells were enriched in the pathway of response to IFN-γ. The levels of plasma IFN-γ decreased gradually in tumor-bearing BALB/c mice, while the percentages of ALDHbr tumor cells in primary tumors increased. IFN-γ at a concentration of 26.68 ng/mL decreased the percentages of ALDHbr 4T1 tumor cells (22.88% vs. 9.88%, P < 0.050) and the protein levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 in 4T1 tumor cells (0.86 vs. 0.49, P < 0.050) and inhibited the abilities of sphere formation (sphere diameter <200 μm, 159.50 vs. 72.0; ≥200 μm, 127.0 vs. 59.0; both P < 0.050) and invasion (89.67 vs. 67.67, P < 0.001) of 4T1 tumor cells.@*CONCLUSION@#CD8+ T cells and IFN-γ decreased CSC numbers in a 4T1 mouse model of breast cancer. The application of IFN-γ may be a potential strategy for reducing CSCs in breast cancer.

Objective To summarize the gene mutation,treatment and prognosis of neonatal congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) cases.Method The gene mutation and treatment of newborn infants who were admitted to the neonatal center of Beijing Children's Hospital between February 2015 and February 2018 with confirmed CHI diagnosis and whole exome sequencing (WES) results were retrospectively summarized.Result Totally 8 infants (5 boys and 3girls) were included.The onset age was (13.2±6.1) h (2 h ~ 2 d).The main clinical presentations were inactivity,seizures and poor feeding.Among the 8 patients,3 were positively responded to diazoxide,5 were negative and then been treated by octreotide.Among these 5 cases,3 were positively responded to octreotide (with stable blood glucose level after discharged home and till 6 months of age) and 2 were negative to both diazoxide and octreotide (1 had partial pancreatectomy afterwards but still had 1~2 episodes pf hypoglycemia till 6 months post-operational periods,another 1 died with unknown detail information soon after the parents quit further medical intervention).All 8 cases had heterozygous gene mutations.7 out of the 8 cases were ABCC8 gene (encoding islet beta-cell potassium channel protein sulfonylurea receptor protein SUR1) mutation on different sites including c.4414G>A,c.221G>A,c.1773C>G,c.4352T>C,c.2924-9C>T,c.4198+ 1G>T,c.2509C>T,c.2331G>A,c.4316A>G and c.47G>C.Among these 7 cases,3 were complicated heterozygous mutations with completely no response to diazoxide (2 out of the 3 were positively responded to octreotide,1 out of the 3 was negative to octreotide)and the other 4 were simple heterozygous mutations (2 out of the 4 were positively responded to diazoxide,1 out of the 4 was negative to diazoxide but positive to octreotide,and 1 out of the 4 was negative to both diazoxide and octreotide).1 out of the 8 cases was heterozygous GLUD1 gene mutation at c.1388A>T site and had positive therapeutic responses to diazoxide.All 5 out of the 8 cases with negative therapeutic response to diazoxide had ABCC8 gene mutation.Conclusion ABCC8 gene encoding islet beta-cellpotassium channel protein sulfonylurea receptor protein SUR1 is the most common gene to have mutation io CHI.Mutations at multiple sites of this gene may cause CHI.Various therapeutic responses to medications might be related to different types of gene mutation.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to evaluate the contributions of levator ani muscle (LAM) injury, vesical neck movement, urethral length and mobility, and urethral sphincter dysfunction observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) towards stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after vaginal delivery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty primiparous women after 6 months of delivery (15 with SUI and 35 without) and 35 nulliparous as continent controls underwent MRI at rest and Valsalva maneuver. A published levator ani scoring system was used to characterize morphological changes of LAM. The severity of the injury was divided into three categories as none, minor, and major. A series of common parameters including levator plate angle, iliococcygeal angle, and levator hiatus were used to describe the functional conditions of LAM. Urethral mobility was defined based on the rotation of the urethra between Valsalva and rest status. Vesical neck movement was evaluated by its distance to the pubococcygeal line. Urethral sphincter dysfunction was defined as the widening of the proximal urethra and/or funneling at the urethrovesical junction during Valsalva. RESULTS: Primiparous incontinent (PI) women had additional major levator ani defects (33.3% vs. 17.1%) while less minor defects (0.7% vs. 31.4%) than primiparous continent (PC) women. Vesical neck downward movement in PI women was more obvious than PC women (28.5 mm vs. 24.2 mm, p = 0.006). Urethral mobility was more active in primiparous women than in nulliparous continent controls (57.4 vs. 52.4), whereas no difference was observed on urethral mobility in the primiparous group (p = 0.25). Urethral sphincter dysfunction and funneling were present in 80% of PI women versus 22.9% in PC women (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The MRI findings revealed that de novo SUI was associated with major LAM injury, vesical neck downward movement as well as urethral sphincter dysfunction. Vesical neck funneling on sagittal images can be treated as a valuable predictor for SUI. The intervention for the PI should focus on the elevation of vesical neck, rehabilitation of LAM as well as recovery of the urethral sphincter muscle.

RESUMO
Objective To examine the effect of endothelial colony-forming cells conditioned medium(ECFCs-CM)on biological function of human dermal fibroblasts(HDFs). Methods Human cord blood derived-ECFCs were isolated and identified based on the previous studies. The cytokines in ECFCs-CM were detected using a cytokines antibody array. HDFs were cultured with ECFCs-CM,using serum free EBM-2 as control. The proliferation of HDFs was examined by Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8)and the migration was assessed by scratch test assay. The apoptosis of HDFs was detected by flow cytometry. Results The cells isolated from human cord blood demonstrated typical characteristics of ECFCs. The cytokines antibody array indicated that ECFCs-CM contained large amounts of secreted cytokines such as PDGF-BBand EGF. Compared with the control group,the HDFs cultured with ECFCs-CM showed improved proliferation and migration ability. The number of apoptotic cells was smaller than that of the control group under the environment of serum starvation. Conclusion ECFCs-CM can promote the proliferation and migration of HDFs and inhibit the apoptosis of HDFs under the environment of serum starvation.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the correlation between acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) scores and delirium probability of senile severe pneumonia patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (MV).Methods A retrospective study was conducted. Eighty-nine senile severe pneumonia patients undergoing invasive MV admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2015 to March 2017 were enrolled. APACHE Ⅱ scores were collected 24 hours before invasive MV. Consciousness assessment method-ICU (CAM-ICU) was used to diagnose delirium, and the patients were divided into delirium group and non-delirium group. The first delirium occurrence time, duration of MV and the length of ICU stay were recorded. The patients were divided into ≤15, 16-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40 groups according to APACHEⅡ score, and the incidence of delirium in all groups were observed. The linear regression and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the correlation between APACHE Ⅱ scores and delirium probability. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the predictive effect of APACHEⅡ score on delirium.Results Eighty-nine patients were enrolled in the final analysis, of which 35 had delirium, and 54 had no delirium, with delirium incidence of 39.33%, and the first delirium occurrence time of (1.85±1.30) days. The duration of MV and the length of ICU stay of delirium group were significantly higher than those of non-delirium group [duration of MV (days): 9.43±4.77 vs. 6.08±3.30, length of ICU stay (days): 14.60±6.59 vs. 9.69±4.61, bothP < 0.01]. The APACHE Ⅱ score in delirium group was significantly higher than that in non-delirium group (29.89±5.45 vs. 21.48±4.76,P < 0.01). With the increase in APACHE Ⅱ scores, the delirium incidence was gradually increased. Correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between APACHE Ⅱ scores and first delirium occurrence time (r = -0.411,P = 0.014), and a significant linear positive correlation between APACHE Ⅱ scores and delirium incidence in all patients was found (r = 0.982, P = 0.000), which indicated the higher APACHE Ⅱ scores, the higher delirium incidences and the earlier first delirium occurrence time was. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of APACHE Ⅱ scores on predicting delirium occurrence was 0.877, when the cut-off value of APACHE Ⅱ score was over 27, the sensitivity was 92.59%, the specificity was 71.43%, the positive predictive value was 83.33%, and the negative predictive value was 86.21%.Conclusions With the increase in APACHE Ⅱ score, the incidence of delirium was increased gradually in senile severe pneumonia patients receiving invasive MV. APACHE Ⅱ score played an important clinical value in evaluating the delirium probability of these patients
RESUMO
Objective To study the correlation between radial artery graft patency and the degree of native coronary stenosis in coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods The clinical data of 290 patients who had underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting were retrospectively analyzed. The left internal mammary artery, radial artery and saphenous veins were as grafts. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the stenosis of right coronary artery before operation:group Ⅰ(right coronary artery stenosis 50%-75%, 85 cases), groupⅡ(right coronary artery stenosis 76%-89%, 95 cases) and group Ⅲ (right coronary artery stenosis 90%-100%, 110 cases). The patients were followed up for 2 to 5 years, and the graft patency was assessed using CT coronary angiography. Results There was no death and serious complications in 3 groups. Among the 3 groups, the total graft patency rate of left internal mammary artery grafts was 93.3% (270/290), the total graft patency rate of saphenous veins grafts was 70.2%(433/617), and the total graft patency rate of radial artery grafts was 69.7%(202/290). There was no statistical difference in the graft patency rate of radial artery grafts between group Ⅱ and group Ⅰ(P>0.05). The graft patency rate of radial artery grafts in group Ⅲwas significantly higher than that in groupⅡand group Ⅰ:85.5%(94/110) vs. 68.4%(65/95) and 50.6%(43/85), and there was statistical difference (P0.05). Conclusions The correlation between radial artery graft patency and the degree of native coronary stenosis is significant in coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients with severe proximal right coronary artery stenosis (≥90%) may have better patency rates at mid-term follow up after using radial artery grafts.

RESUMO
Objective To analyze the reasons and treatment methods of high transprothetic pressure gradient after aortic valve replacement. Methods The clinical data of 45 patients with high transprothetic pressure gradient after aortic valve replacement were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed up for average 24.6 (12 - 40) months. The postoperative effective orifice area (EOA) of artificial valve was measured by transthoracic color Doppler ultrasound. Compared with published referred EOA of different artificial valve, there were 2 kinds results:measured EOA=referred EOA and measured EOA0.85 cm2/m2 and EOAI<0.85 cm2/m2. The reasons of high transprothetic pressure gradient were analyzed according to the above different standard. Results In the 45 patients with high transprothetic pressure gradient after aortic valve replacement, prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) was in 33 cases, and prosthetic dysfunction was in 10 cases, among whom 5 cases were because of thrombus (3 cases improved after increasing the dosage of warfarin, 2 cases underwent re-aortic valve replacement), 3 cases were because of severe bioprosthetic calcification (underwent re-aortic valve replacement), and 2 cases were because of prosthetic ring pannus and influenced movement of the leaflets (underwent re-aortic valve replacement). High flow in the left ventricular outflow tract occurred in 2 cases. The patients had no obvious discomfort, and did not receive special treatment. Four cases died, among whom 2 cases were because of severe PPM, and the other 2 cases were because of noncardiac. Conclusions Many reasons can result to the high transprothetic pressure gradient, and the PMM is the most common reason. Choosing the right treatment plan can improve the survival rate of patients.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of expanded deltopectoral perforator flap as a free skin flap for distant transfer to aesthetically repair large facial scars via microsurgical technique.Methods 20 cases of large facial scars were treated with free expanded deltopectoral skin flaps via microsurgical technique.At the first stage,24 large volume expanders were inserted into the subcutaneous pockets in the deltopectoral zone.4 to 6 months later,the second stage operation was performed when the flaps were expanded fully and facial scars removed;deltopectoral perforator flaps harvested choosing the second or the third thoracic artery perforating branches as the pedicle;the surface of the wound was covered with the flaps.Results All of the 24 flaps survived completely and the wounds healed well after transplantation.The 6 months to 2 years' follow-up results showed that the color and texture of the flaps matched the recipient place well without swelling.The superficial and deep sensation recovered very fast.Conclusions It is safe,practical and effective that the delto-pectoral perforator flaps are used to repair large facial scars avoiding the shortcomings of traditional pedicle transfer such as more procedures,longer fixed time,or more wasted expanded skin.Free transfer of expanded delto-pectoral perforator flaps can achieve ideal function and aesthetic effects.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the differences in the therapeutic efficacies of macrolides,minocycline,and tosufloxacin against macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MRMP).Methods A total of 188 children with M.pneumoniae pneumonia confirmed by culture and PCR were analyzed.Of these,150 patients had a strain with an MR gene and 134 had one with an A-to-G mutation at position 2063 of M.pneumoniae 23S rRNA domain V.Azithromycin(n=27),clarithromycin(n=23),tosufloxacin(n=62),or minocycline(n=38)was used for definitive treatment of patients with MR M.pneumoniae.Among the 188 patients,the other 38 patients with macrolide-sensitive Mycoplasma pneumonia (MSMP)were grouped into azithromycin(n =16)and clarithromycin groups(n =22)for observing whether there is differences with respect to efficacy under parallel treatment between patients with MRMP and MSMP. Results Defervescence within 48 h after the initiation of antibiotic therapy was observed in 41%of the patients in the azithromycin group,48% of those in the clarithromycin group,69% of those in the tosufloxacin group,and 87% of those in the minocycline group.The average number of days of fever after the administration of antibiotic treatment was lower in the minocycline and tosufloxacin groups than in the macrolide groups(azithromycin and clarithromycin groups).The decrease in the M.pneumoniae burden,as estimated by the number of DNA copies,after 48 to 96 h of treatment was more rapid in patients receiving minocycline(P=0.016)than in those receiving tosufloxacin(P=0.049),azithromycin(P=0.273),or clarithromycin(P=0.107).Conclusion We found that the clinical and bacteriological efficacies of macrolides against MR M.pneumoniae pneumonia was low.Our results indicated that minocycline rather than tosufloxacin can be considered the first-choice drug for the treatment of M.pneumoniae pneumonia in children aged >8 years.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the changes ofintegrin α4β7 and L-selectin levels and the possible relationship between the changes and intestinal mucosal immune function in critical children with gastrointestinal dysfunction.Methods Forty-eight admitted critical children were divided into non-gastrointestinal dysfunction group (29 cases) and gastrointestinal dysfunction group (19 cases),and also compared with 25 healthy people (control group).The expression of integrin α 4β 7 and L-selectin was measured by flow cytometry.Results The expression of integrin α 4β 7 in gastrointestinal dysfunction group [(11.11 ± 1.15)%] was lower than that in non-gastrointestinal dysfunction group [(15.36 ± 1.26)%]and control group [(19.62 ±0.89)%] (P <0.05),but there was no significant difference between nongastrointestinal dysfunction group and control group(P > 0.05).The expression of L-selectin in gastrointestinal dysfunction group [(60.68 ±3.72)%] was lower than that in non-gastrointestinal dysfunction group [(69.43 ± 1.52)%] and control group [(88.65 ± 2.41)%] (P < 0.05),and there was significant difference between non-gastrointestinal dysfunction group and control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion The expression of integrin α 4β 7 and L-selectin is decreased at the early stage of gastrointestinal dysfunction in critical childern,and integrin α 4 β 7 is decreased sharply.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the application value of the modified hypotonic method of intestinal system contrast ultra-sonography in elder patients with small intestinal diseases .Methods Group A were 28 patients with small intestine disease and 8 patients who was found abdominal mass suspected source of intestinal tumors by routine abdominal ultrasound inspection .We con-trast the mannitol intestinal system contrast ultrasound with modified hypotonic method of intestinal system ultrasound contrast , and compare with gastrointestinal ,gastrointestinal barium meal contrast ,then contrast the results of pathology .Group B were 37 patients ,with definite diagnosis with duodenal ulcers ,polyps ,the descending part of the diverticulum ,who respectively treated with drinking water method and modified hypotonic method of intestinal system ultrasound contrast ,then carry the two methods into comparison .Results The nidus detection increase from 9 to 12 in group A ;the nidus detection increase from 13 to 33 in group B . The modified hypotonic method of intestinal system contrast ultrasonography ,which eliminate intestinal gas more obvious and relax the intestinal lumen more sufficient than conventional contrast ,can improve the nidus detection rate .Conclusion The modified hy-potonic method of intestinal system contrast ultrasonography could be as a routine inspection method for elder small intestinal dis-ease paitents .
RESUMO
Objective To explore whether brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) can be used as a predictor of recurrent cardiovascular events in elderly male patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods The baPWV and biochemical indicators were measured in 118 elderly men with ACS, aged 61-92 years (mean age 76.6±6.7 years). During the follow-up period (617±297 days), all cardiovascular events (unstable angina, heart failure, cardiac death and stroke, etc.)were recorded. Results The baPWV was (17.48±3.54)m/s in non-event group(n=90),(21.91±4.86) m/s in event group and (24.48±4.39) m/s in major endpoint event group, respectively (both P<0. 05). There were 30 cardiovascular events that occurred in 28 patients, including 12 major endpoint events. The receiver operating characteristic curve demonstrated that the cut-off point of baPWV for predicting a cardiovascular event was 19.51 m/s and that for predicting a major endpoint event was 20.52m/s. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model demonstrated that the above cut-off points had significantly relative risk for cardiovascular event: 1.37(95% CI: 1.16-1.63)and for major event:1.71(95% CI: 1.23-2.36). Conclusions The baPWV can be used as a predictor of recurrent cardiovascular events in elderly men with ACS.
