ABSTRACT
Objective A novel compound based on near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) probe was prepared to achieve dynamic monitoring of an inflammatory brain edema model in mice and real-time evaluation of therapeutic effects throughin vivo imaging.Methods The NIRF probe IR-783 was chemically linked with clinical brain edema therapeutic drug furosemide (FSM) to obtain the new compound, IR-783-FSM. The ultraviolet fluorescence properties of the compound were evaluated using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The uptake of the compound by mouse macrophage cells RAW 264.7 was detected with in vitro cellular experiments. Its cytotoxicity was evaluated through CCK8 assays. A brain edema model was established in BALB/c mice via intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), confirmed by HE staining and dry-wet weight methods for brain tissues. The mice in the brain edema model were divided into control group, IR-783, and IR-783-FSM treatment groups, receiving intraperitoneal injections of PBS, IR-783, and IR-783-FSM, respectively. Real-time in vivo fluorescence imaging was then performed. The mice in each group were euthanized after 10 hours. Ex vivo brain imaging and dry-wet weight measurements were performed to observe the NIRF imaging characteristics and therapeutic effects of IR-783-FSM on brain edema model.Results The newly synthesized compound, IR-783-FSM, retained the excellent near-infrared fluorescence characteristics of IR-783. It could target mouse macrophages with an IC50 of 48.82 µmol/L. A brain edema model could be successfully constructed with intraperitoneal injection of LPS, with significantly higher brain tissue water content compared to the control group (P<0.01). In vivo imaging showed that IR-783-FSM had a significantly stronger fluorescence signal in the brain edema model than IR-783. Compared to the control group, the brain water content was significantly reduced in the 2, 5, and 8 mmol/L IR-783-FSM treatment groups (P<0.01).Conclusion The newly synthesized NIRF probe IR-783-FSM facilitates dynamic monitoring of brain edema and real-time evaluation of therapeutic effects.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To compare the degree, efficacy and safety of testicular catch-up growth after inguinal and subinguinal surgery for adolescent varicocele. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 121 adolescent varicocele patients with secondary testicular atrophy treated during Sep.2014 and Jun.2021 at Huili People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 40 cases treated with the inguinal incision approach, and 81 with the subinguinal approach. The characteristics of intraoperative, efficacy, surgical complications and prognosis were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 The inguinal group had significantly shorter microscope usage time (P=0.006), fewer number of preserved internal spermatic arteries (P0.05). Two years after surgery, the bilateral testicular volume of both groups was significantly larger than that before surgery (P0.05). 【Conclusion】 In the treatment of adolescent varicocele patients with secondary testicular atrophy, the subinguinal approach significantly reduces the difficulty of microsurgical varicocele ligation, and has good efficacy and safety, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Among the surface modification technologies of metal implants,micro-arc oxidation has been widely concerned for its convenience,low cost and ability to effectively adjust the microstructure and elements of surface coatings. OBJECTIVE:To summarize research advances in physical and chemical properties and biological activities of oxidation coatings prepared by micro-arc oxidation on different materials. METHODS:The articles about the effects of micro-arc oxidation on the biological activity of medical metals were searched in PubMed and Web of Science based on the English search terms"MAO,micro-arc oxidation,osseointegration,mechanical property,biological activity,angiogenesis,fibrogenesis".The search time was from January 2016 to December 2022.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,82 articles were finally retained for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Micro-arc oxidation is a potential surface modification technology,which can greatly improve the success rate of implantation,and can be widely used in other fields.The specific reasons are as follows:(1)Micro-arc oxidation technology forms special porous morphology on the surface of materials,which can optimize the mechanical properties such as wear resistance and corrosion resistance,contributing to the reduction of the degradation rate of magnesium alloys.(2)Micro-arc oxidation technology can significantly enhance the bioactivity and improve the bioinertness of titanium and titanium alloys through the addition of strontium,hydroxyapatite and other metallic or nonmetallic substances to its porous morphology for helping elevate its osteogenic differentiation,angiogenesis,fibrogenesis and other biological activities.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Micro-arc oxidation can effectively add bioactive elements to the metal surface and improve the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of biomedical metal materials,so this technology has become one of the hotspots of biomedical materials. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of surface coatings prepared by the combination of micro-arc oxidation and other surface modification technologies. METHODS:Articles from January 1996 to December 2022 were searched on CNKI,WanFang and PubMed databases using Chinese and English search terms"micro-arc oxidation,antibacterial properties,anti-inflammatory properties,metal implants".After preliminary screening according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,89 articles were retained and summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The ceramic layer prepared by micro-arc oxidation can improve the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of titanium,magnesium and other alloys.Combination with other surface modification technologies can effectively solve the effect of pores on the surface properties of the alloy,and further improve the biological properties of the oxide film.It has a wide application prospect in orthopedics and dentistry.At present,most studies are limited to metal coatings,and most of them focus on metal elements with good antibacterial properties such as silver and copper,while only a few studies mention non-metallic coatings such as graphene oxide,hydroxyapatite and chitosan.In the future,extensive studies can be conducted on inorganic coatings and polymer coatings,and more combinations of different bioactive elements can also be adopted to improve antibacterial properties.Currently,studies on the inflammation of implant coatings prepared by micro-arc oxidation are mostly limited to the immune system and focused on macrophages,while studies on neutrophils and platelets are scarce.In the future,a variety of advanced technologies should be combined to explore the specific effects of micro-arc oxidation coating on other immune cells and inflammatory cells.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effects of peroneal osteotomy combined with arthroscopic knee debridement on perioperative indexes, X-ray indexes, Japanese Orthopaedic Association Assessment score (JOA score), American Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (HSS score) and complication rate of patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A prospective research method was adopted. A total of 110 patients with knee osteoarthritis who were admitted to Chengde Central Hospital from April 2016 to April 2021 were selected as the research objects and divided into the control group (55 cases), the combined group (55 cases) by random number table method. The control group underwent arthroscopic debridement of the knee joint. On the basis of the control group, the combined group was combined with fibula osteotomy. The control group and the combined group were followed up for 6 months after operation. The perioperative indicators, score of JOA before and after 1 month of treatment, X-ray indicators, score of HSS before and after 6 months of treatment, and the incidence of complications during the follow-up period were compared between the control group and the combined group.Results:The operation time of the combined group was longer than that of the control group: (84.36 ± 14.64) min vs. (75.88 ± 12.86) min; compared with before operation, 1 month after operation, the scores of swelling, pain while up and down stairs, walking pain, joint range of motion were increased in the control group and the combined group, and the combined group was higher than the control group: (8.35 ± 0.73) points vs. (6.74 ± 0.67) points, (15.05 ± 1.74) points vs. (13.96±1.66) points, (21.75 ± 2.07) points vs. (18.58 ± 1.73) points, (27.59 ± 3.25) points vs. (25.74 ± 2.83) points; the femoral tibial angle and the range of motion of the knee joint in the control group and the combined group were increased, and the combined group was greater than the control group: (1.94 ± 0.60)° vs. (3.02 ± 0.67)°; the scores of stability, flexion deformity, muscle strength, range of motion, function, and pain in the control group and the combined group increased, and the combined group was higher than the control group: (8.62 ± 0.86) points vs. (6.89 ± 0.78) points, (7.86 ± 0.96) points vs. (6.27 ± 0.68) points, (7.79 ± 0.62) points vs. (6.95 ± 0.57) points, (14.95 ± 2.60) points vs. (12.48 ± 2.33) points, (17.46 ± 2.21) points vs. (14.59 ± 1.76) points, (24.83 ± 3.25) points vs. (18.59 ± 2.57) points, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). During the following up period, there were no significant differences in the incidences of osteofascial compartment syndrome, neurovascular injury, intraarticular adhesion and incision infection between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The operation time of fibular osteotomy combined with arthroscopic debridement of knee joint in patients with knee osteoarthritis was longer, but fibular osteotomy combined with arthroscopic debridement of the knee joint can reduce the valgus of the patient and improve the range of motion of the joint. It could effectively reduce the degree of pain and improve the function of knee joint, and the safety was good, with good therapeutic effect.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Yudian Decoction (愈癫汤) in the treatment of schizophrenia. MethodTwenty male offspring from 5 normal female 17-day-pregnant SD rats were selected as blank group. Fifteen female 17-day-pregnant SD rats were injected intraperitoneally with methyl azomethine acetate (MAM) 25 mg/kg, and the male offspring simulated the neurodevelopmental abnormality to establish a rat model of schizophrenia. Sixty successfully-modeled rats were randomly divided into 20 rats in the model group, 20 rats in the Yudian Decoction group and 20 risperidone group. After 3 days of adaptive cage feeding, the rats in the Yudian Decoction group were gavaged with 1.54 g/(kg·d) of Yudian Decoction, the risperidone group was gavaged with 0.24 mg/(kg·d) of risperidone capsule, while the blank group and the model group were gavaged with 6.7 ml/(kg·d) of distilled water, once a day, for 14 consecutive days. Sample was collected on the day after the last gavage. The expression of glutamate receptor (GluR) and γ-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit α1 (GABAARα1)-positive neurons in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were detected by immunofluorescence, and the positive rate was calculated; the expression of small clear proteins (PVs) in the hippocampal CA1 region and the medial prefrontal cortex was detected by immunohistochemistry; The expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) and glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 (GAD67) proteins and mRNAs in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were detected by immunoblotting and reverse transcription PCR. ResultCompared with the blank group, the positive rate of GluR in hippocampal area and prefrontal cortex of rats in the model group increased, the positive rate of GABAARα1 in hippocampal area decreased, the PV optical density value in hippocampal CA1 area and medial prefrontal cortex decreased, and the expression of GAD65, GAD67 proteins and mRNA in hippocampal area and prefrontal cortex decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, GluR positivity rate in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of risperidone group and Yudian Decoction decreased, GABAARα1 positivity rate in hippocampus increased, PV optical density value in hippocampus CA1 area and medial prefrontal cortex increased, and GAD65, GAD67 proteins and mRNA expression in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the risperidone group, the positive rate of GluR in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex and GABAARα1 in hippocampus in the Yudian Decoction group was reduced, the PV optical density value of hippocampal CA1 area was increased, the protein and mRNA expression of GAD67 in hippocampus area was elevated, and the protein expression of GAD65 in prefrontal cortex was reduced (P<0.05). ConclusionYudian Decoction may improve the pathological process of schizophrenia by regulating key regulators of glutamate/γ-aminobutyric acid (Glu/GABA) metabolic balance in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex and maintaining the balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition.

Periodontal diseases are inflammatory diseases caused by oral pathogens around the periodontal supporting tissues, leading to systemic and chronic inflammatory conditions. The continuous chronic systemic inflammation may be a trigger of neuroinflammation, which is the prominent feature of a variety of neurological disorders. It implies that there may be a causal link between periodontal diseases and neurological disorders. This article presents epidemiological and biological evidences that periodontal diseases can induce or exacerbate neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and major depressive disorder, and analyzes the possible mechanisms. The importance of maintaining oral health as well as preventing and treating periodontal diseases are emphasized. At the same time, this may provide novel approaches to study the relationship between periodontal diseases and neurological disorders in the prevention and treatment strategies of neurological disorders.

Background@#Tigecycline, eravacycline, and omadacycline are recently developed tetracyclines. Susceptibility of microbes to these tetracyclines and their molecular mechanisms have not been well elucidated. We investigated the susceptibility of Moraxella catarrhalis to tigecycline, eravacycline, and omadacycline and its resistance mechanisms against these tetracyclines. @*Methods@#A total of 207 non-duplicate M. catarrhalis isolates were collected from different inpatients. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the tetracyclines were determined by broth microdilution. Tigecycline-, eravacycline-, or omadacycline-resistant isolates were induced under In Vitro pressure. The tet genes and mutations in the 16S rRNA was detected by PCR and sequencing. @*Results@#Eravacycline had a lower MIC50 (0.06 mg/L) than tigecycline (0.125 mg/L) or omadacycline (0.125 mg/L) against M. catarrhalis isolates. We found that 136 isolates (65.7%) had the tetB gene, and 15 (7.2%) isolates were positive for tetL; however, their presence was not correlated with high tigecycline, eravacycline, or omadacycline ( ≥ 1 mg/L) MICs.Compared with the initial MIC after 160 days of induction, the MICs of tigecycline or eravacycline against three M. catarrhalis isolates increased ≥ eight-fold, while those of omadacycline against two M. catarrhalis isolates increased 64-fold. Mutations in the 16S rRNA genes (C1036T and/or G460A) were observed in omadacycline-induced resistant isolates, and increased RR (the genes encoding 16SrRNA (four copies, RR1-RR4) copy number of 16S rRNA genes with mutations was associated with increased resistance to omadacycline. @*Conclusions@#Tigecycline, eravacycline, and omadacycline exhibited robust antimicrobial effects against M. catarrhalis. Mutations in the 16S rRNA genes contributed to omadacycline resistance in M. catarrhalis.
ABSTRACT
Purpose@#Systemic inflammatory response is a critical factor that promotes the initiation and metastasis of malignancies including pancreatic cancer (PC). This study was designed to determine and compare the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) in resectable PC and locally advanced or metastatic PC. @*Materials and Methods@#Three hundred fifty-three patients with resectable PC and 807 patients with locally advan-ced or metastatic PC were recruited in this study. These patients were classified into a training set (n=758) and a validation set (n=402). Kaplan-Meier survival plots and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze prognosis. @*Results@#Overall survival (OS) was significantly better for patients with resectable PC with low preoperative PLR (p=0.048) and MLR (p=0.027). Low FAR, MLR, NLR (p < 0.001), and PLR (p=0.003) were significantly associated with decreased risk of death for locally advanced or metastatic PC patients. FAR (hazard ratio [HR], 1.522; 95% confidential interval [CI], 1.261 to 1.837; p < 0.001) and MLR (HR, 1.248; 95% CI, 1.017 to 1.532; p=0.034) were independent prognostic factors for locally advanced or metastatic PC. @*Conclusion@#The prognostic roles of FAR, MLR, NLR, and PLR in resectable PC and locally advanced or metastatic PC were different. FAR showed the most prognostic power in locally advanced or metastatic PC. Low FAR was positively correlated with OS in locally advanced or metastatic PC, which could be used to predict the prognosis.
ABSTRACT
To identify the possible factors that may influence the success and the complications of ultrasound-guided out-of-plane radial arterial cannulation. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the clinical data of 131 patients undergoing elective surgery and ultrasound-guided out-of-plane radial artery cannulation,dynamic needle tip positioning(DNTP) technique or angular distance(AD) technique and to find out the factors associated with the one-attempt success rate,overall success rate,posterior arterial wall perforation,and local hematoma. The depth of the anterior arterial wall≥3 mm was the factor associated with posterior arterial wall perforation(=0.314,95%:0.143-0.691,=0.004) and local hematoma(=0.250,95%:0.107-0.585,=0.001).The use of DNTP method was significantly associated with posterior arterial wall perforation(=0.303,95%:0.138-0.667,=0.003). During ultrasound-guided out-of-plane radial cannulation,puncture at the arterial anterior wall sites with a depth of≥3 mm can reduce the incidence of posterior arterial wall perforation and local hematoma.Compared with AD,DNTP can lower the incidence of posterior arterial wall perforation.
ABSTRACT
With the expansion of aging population, Alzheimer′s disease (AD) is increasingly imposing a substantial burden on the society. Because of irreversible neuronal death in the brain, effective control of AD relies on early diagnosis for timely therapeutic intervention, and this requires efficient laboratory tests and molecular imaging. Current laboratory tests for AD includes measurements of Aβ peptides, Tau, and a number of other recently discovered molecules in the cerebrospinal fluid and the peripheral blood. PET-based imaging of glucose metabolism, amyloid Aβ, Tau neurofibrillary tangles, TSPO protein, and neuronal receptors, has also proven to be useful in clinical finding of AD. This review will focus on the progress in studies of these biomarkers and methodologies for ADdiagnosis.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the value of clinical monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (SctO2) for severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). Methods:From December, 2017 to January, 2019, 33 patients with sTBI within 24 hours were monitored SctO2, intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) with near-infrared spectroscopyonce per six hours for seven days. They were assessed with Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) at admission and Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) six months after injury. Results:SctO2 was the lowest on the third day of monitoring, and then increased gradually. SctO2 negatevely correlated with ICP (r < -0.857, P < 0.001), and positively correlated with GCS, CPP and GOS (r > 0.697, P < 0.05). Conclusion:SctO2 monitoring is valuable after sTBI to identify the secondary injuries and severity of injuries, and predict the outcome partly.

Objective Identification of the risk factors for extraordinary hidden blood loss (HBL) could clarify the underlying causes and provide more appropriate management. This study aims to identify the predictors of HBL in spinal surgery.Methods Medical records were retrospectively retrieved to collect the data of patients who undergoing posterior thoracic and lumbar fusion surgery or scoliosis surgery. Demographic information, perioperative visible blood loss volume, as well as laboratory results were recorded. The patients receiving fusion surgery or scoliosis surgery were further divided into the HBL positive subgroup and the HBL negative subgroup. Differences in the variables between the groups were then analyzed. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent risk factors associated with HBL.Results For patients undergoing posterior spinal surgery, the independent risk factors associated with HBL were autologous transfusion (for fusion surgery P=0.011, OR: 2.627, 95%CI: 1.574-2.782; for scoliosis surgery P<0.001, OR: 2.268, 95%CI: 2.143-2.504) and allogeneic transfusion (for fusion surgeryP<0.001, OR: 6.487, 95%CI: 2.349-17.915; for scoliosis surgery P<0.001, OR: 3.636, 95%CI: 2.389-5.231).Conclusions Intraoperative blood transfusion might be an early-warning indicator for perioperative HBL.
