RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: After traumatic injury in pregnant women, providing timely and appropriate management for high-risk patients is crucial for both pregnant women and fetuses. This study aimed to identify risk factors that predict adverse pregnancy outcomes after traumatic injury. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study including 317 pregnant patients who experienced trauma was conducted. The collected data included general demographics, injury mechanisms and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Patients were divided into two subgroups based on the absence or presence of trauma-related adverse pregnancy outcomes. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to estimate the associations between clinical variables and adverse pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 41 (12.93%) patients experienced adverse pregnancy outcomes within the first 24 h post-trauma. This study revealed that age >35 years (OR=14.995, 95% CI: 5.024-44.755, P<0.001), third trimester trauma (OR=3.878, 95% CI: 1.343-11.204, P=0.012), abdominal pain (OR=3.032, 95% CI: 1.221-7.527, P=0.017), vaginal bleeding (OR=3.226, 95% CI: 1.093-9.523, P=0.034), positive scan in focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) positive (OR=8.496, 95% CI: 2.825-25.555, P<0.001), 9≤ injury severity score (ISS) <16 (OR=3.039, 95% CI: 1.046-8.835, P=0.041) and ISS≥16 (OR=5.553, 95% CI: 1.387-22.225, P=0.015) increased the probability of posttraumatic adverse pregnancy outcomes. Maternal age, gestational age at delivery, vaginal bleeding and positive FAST results were risk factors for abnormal delivery. CONCLUSION: Advanced maternal age, third trimester, and positive FAST results should alert multidisciplinary trauma teams to closely monitor patients to prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes.

RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of a retrograde pubic ramus intramedullary nail (RPRIN) in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 14 patients with anterior pelvic ring fracture who had been treated and followed up at Department of Traumatic Surgery, Tongji Hospital From June 2020 to February 2021. There were 10 males and 4 females with an age of (44.8±12.5) years. By the AO/OTA classification for pelvic fractures, 5 cases were type 61-A, 4 cases 61-B, and 5 cases type 61-C; by the Nakatani classification, 1 case belonged to unilateral zone Ⅰ fracture, 5 cases to unilateral zone Ⅱ fracture, 2 cases to unilateral zone Ⅲ fracture, 3 cases to right zone Ⅱ and left zone Ⅲ fracture, 2 cases to zone Ⅲ fracture on both left and right sides, and 1 case to zone Ⅱ fracture on both sides. The time from injury to operation was (7.8±1.8) days. All the anterior pelvic ring fractures were fixated with a RPRIN. The time and fluoroscopic frequency for placement of every single RPRIN, quality of fracture reduction, and pelvic function and incidence of postoperative complications at the last follow-up were recorded.Results:A total of 18 RPRINs were placed in the 14 patients. For placement of each RPRIN, the time was (35.9±8.6) min, and the fluoroscopic frequency (22.8±1.9) times. No complications such as infection occurred at any surgical incision after RPRIN placement. According to the Matta scoring, the quality of postoperative fracture reduction was assessed as excellent in 7 cases, as good in 5 cases and as fair in 2 cases. The 14 patients were followed up for (18.1+1.5) months. Their X-ray and CT images of the pelvis at the last follow-up showed that the fractures healed well and the intramedullary nails were placed in the cortical bone of the anterior ring of the pelvis. According to the Majeed scoring at the last follow-up, the pelvic function was assessed as excellent in 10 cases, as good in 3 cases and as fair in 1 case. One patient reported discomfort during squatting 2 months after operation but the symptom improved 3 months later without any special treatment. No patient experienced such complications as displacement or slippage of RPRIN, or pain at the insertion site.Conclusion:RPRIN is effective in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures, showing advantages of small surgical incision, limited intraoperative fluoroscopy and short operation time.
RESUMEN
Classic paired associative stimulation can improve synaptic plasticity, as demonstrated by animal experiments and human clinical trials in spinal cord injury patients. Paired associative magnetic stimulation (dual-target peripheral and central magnetic stimulation) has been shown to promote neurologic recovery after stroke. However, it remains unclear whether paired associative magnetic stimulation can promote recovery of lower limb motor dysfunction after spinal cord injury. We hypothesize that the current caused by central and peripheral magnetic stimulation will converge at the synapse, which will promote synapse function and improve the motor function of the relevant muscles. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of paired associative magnetic stimulation on neural circuit activation by measuring changes in motor evoked and somatosensory evoked potentials, motor and sensory function of the lower limbs, functional health and activities of daily living, and depression in patients with spinal cord injury. We will recruit 110 thoracic spinal trauma patients treated in the Department of Spinal Cord Injury, China Rehabilitation Hospital and randomly assign them to experimental and control groups in a 1:1 ratio. The trial group (n = 55) will be treated with paired associative magnetic stimulation and conventional rehabilitation treatment. The control group (n = 55) will be treated with sham stimulation and conventional rehabilitation treatment. Outcomes will be measured at four time points: baseline and 4, 12, and 24 weeks after the start of intervention (active or sham paired associative magnetic stimulation). The primary outcome measure of this trial is change in lower limb American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale motor function score from baseline to last follow-up. Secondary outcome measures include changes in lower limb American Spinal Injury Association sensory function score, motor evoked potentials, sensory evoked potentials, modified Ashworth scale score, Maslach Burnout Inventory score, and Hamilton Depression Scale score over time. Motor evoked potential latency reflects corticospinal tract transmission time, while amplitude reflects recruitment ability; both measures can help elucidate the mechanism underlying the effect of paired associative magnetic stimulation on synaptic efficiency. Adverse events will be recorded. Findings from this trial will help to indicate whether paired associative magnetic stimulation (1) promotes recovery of lower limb sensory and motor function, reduces spasticity, and improves quality of life; (2) promotes neurologic recovery by increasing excitability of spinal cord motor neurons and stimulating synaptic plasticity; and (3) improves rehabilitation outcome in patients with spinal cord injury. Recruitment for this trial began in April 2021 and is currently ongoing. It was approved by the Ethics Committee of Yangzhi Affiliated Rehabilitation Hospital of Tongji University, China (approval No. YZ2020-018) on May 18, 2020. The study protocol was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number: ChiCTR2100044794) on March 27, 2021 (protocol version 1.0). This trial will be completed in April 2022.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinical therapy of sacral osteotomy combined with lumbopelvic distraction triangular osteosynthesis for malunion and nonunion of type C longitudinally displaced sacral fracture.Methods:A retrospective study of 9 patients with malunion and nonunion of type C pelvic fractures who had been treated with sacral osteotomy combined with triangular osteosynthesis from April 2015 to January 2020 were analyzed. They were 5 men and 4 women, with an average age of 30.67±10.06 (range 14-45 years). AO/OTA classification at initial pelvic fracture, 8 cases were type C1.3 and one was type C3.3. The period from injury to surgery was 12.8±18.92 months (range 3-60 months). The cranial displacement of one side of the pelvis was 3.8±0.57 cm (range 2.5-4.1 cm). Sacral osteotomy and triangular osteosynthesis were used in all nine patients, combined with osteotomy or no osteotomy of the superior and inferior branches of the anterior ring pubis. The degree of longitudinal displacement of one side of the pelvis was assessed by making a vertical line gap between the acetabular apex on both sides and the central axis of the sacrum on the X-ray of the pelvis. The Majeed scoring and visual analogue scale (VAS) were evaluated preoperatively and at the last follow-up to assess the therapeutic effect of the patients.Results:In all 9 patients, except for 1 case of postoperative pelvic residual displacement 1.5 cm (preoperative 3.2 cm difference compared with the healthy side), the other 8 patients had a postoperative bilateral difference of 0.1-0.7 cm. All the patients were followed up for 12.00±9.95 months. At the last follow-up, the Majeed score of pelvic fracture increased from 44.0(33.5, 76.0) points preoperatively to 91.0(80.5, 92.5) points. The difference before and after operation was statistically significant ( Z=2.67, P<0.001), and the gait was significantly improved. And the VAS score for pain decreased from 6.00±1.41 points preoperatively to 1.22±0.97 points. The difference before and after operation was statistically significant ( t=8.73, P<0.001). None had complications like infection, plate broken, screw loosening, iatrogenic nerve or blood vessel injury, etc. Conclusion:Sacral osteotomy combined with lumbopelvic distraction triangular osteosynthesis for the treatment of pelvic malunion and nonunion caused by sacral fracture can correct pelvic deformity, prolong limb length, and reconstruct the stability of pelvic ring with good clinical results.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate clinical effects of lumbopelvic fixation and triangular osteosynthesis using sacral ala-iliac screws for the treatment of sacral fractures.Methods:The data of 12 patients with sacral fractures treated with lumbopelvic fixation and triangular osteosynthesis using sacral ala-iliac screws from December 2019 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 males and 9 females with an average age of 32.6±15.0 years (range, 13-52 years); causes of injury: 11 fall injuries and 1 traffic injury. The Denis classification of sacrum fracture: 4 cases of type II and 8 cases of type III. AO (Tile-Muller) classification: 4 cases of type C1.3, 8 cases of type C3.3; of the 8 cases of C3.3 fractures, Roy-Camille and Strange-Vognsen classification: 2 cases of type II, 6 cases of type III. According to the scoring system of Gibbons sacral nerve injury, there were 6 cases of scored 3 and 2 cases of scored 4; 4 cases of C1.3 fractures had no nerve injury. The time from injury to operation was 6 to 32 days, with an average of 19.3±9.2 days. After the vital signs were stabilized, laminectomy and decompression of sacral nerve roots, fracture reduction, lumbopelvic fixation and triangular osteosynthesis using sacral ala-ilac screws were performed. The fixation method of the anterior ring was determined according to the injury. The postoperative fracture reduction quality was evaluated according to Matta criteria. The clinical function and neurological function were evaluated according to the Majeed scoring system and Gibbons sacral nerve injury scoring system at the last follow-up.Results:Twelve patients were operated smoothly. 8 cases of C3.3 fractures were fixed by lumbopelvic fixation, of which 6 cases of U-shaped fractures were fixed by transverse rods due tolongitudinal separation displacement; Four cases of C1.3 used triangular osteosynthesis and transverse fixation in 3 cases with sacroiliac screws, and 1 case with sacral local plate. Six patients with anterior ring injury were fixed with steel plate in 4 cases, INFIX in 1 case and pubic branch screw in 1 case. All patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months, with an average of 7.3±1.7 months. Postoperative Matta standard evaluation: excellent in 7 cases; good in 4 cases; fair in 1 case. Majeed score at the last follow-up: excellent in 6 cases, good in 5 cases, and fair in 1 case. One of 2 cases of rectal and bladder dysfunction patients completely recovered, the other was found partial rupture of the nerve roots of sacrum 1 and 2 during operation, whose muscle strength below the calf was still reduced; 6 cases of preoperative muscle strength loss below the calf were significantly improved, among which 4 patients recovered completely, and 2 patients had lower limb sensory impairment; the Gibbons score improved by an average of 1.8±0.7 points (preoperative average 3.2 points, postoperative average 1.4 points). X-ray examinations were performed 3 to 6 months after the operation showed that the fractures were all healed. During the follow-up period, no complications such as fat liquefaction, infection, wound healing, and screw protrusion discomfort were found.1 case of S 2AI screw penetrated the outer plate of the ilium, and there was no pelvic tilt and unequal length deformity of the lower limbs. One patient took out the internal fixation 6 months after the operation due to lower back discomfort. At the last follow-up, all patients had no internal fractures or loss of fracture reduction. Conclusion:Lumbopelvic fixation and triangular osteosynthesis using sacral ala-iliac screws for the treatment of sacral fractures are reliable, with less trauma and lower incidence of complications; and the clinical results are satisfactory.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND@#Hypotension is a common complication caused by spinal anesthesia (SA), which may have adverse impacts on the condition of the parturient and fetus. Liquid infusion was found to be relatively effective for reducing the incidence of hypotension. However, the question of whether colloid preload can optimize hemodynamic variables in the cesarean section remains controversial. This study aims to determine the effects of colloid preload on the incidence of hypotension induced by SA in elective cesarean section.@*METHODS@#Related keywords were searched on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from inception dates to May 2020. Studies included were evaluated for eligibility and quality. The primary outcome was the intra-operative incidence of hypotension and severe hypotension. The secondary outcomes included the lowest intra-operative systolic blood pressure, the maximal intra-operative heart rate, the intra-operative needs of ephedrine and phenylephrine, the incidence of maternal nausea and/or vomiting, and neonatal outcomes (umbilical artery pH and Apgar scores). Apart from the above, RevMan 5.3 was used for the data analysis.@*RESULTS@#Altogether nine randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. There were no significant differences in the incidence of intra-operative hypotension, severe hypotension, or neonatal outcomes between the colloid preload group and control group, except for the umbilical artery pH.@*CONCLUSION@#This meta-analysis suggests that colloid preload does not significantly reduce the incidence of hypotension associated with SA in elective cesarean section.

Copper-catalyzed multicomponent borylacylation of imines with acid chlorides and bis(pinacolato)diboron was developed for the preparation of synthetically useful and pharmacologically relevant α-amino boronic acid derivatives. Starting from a range of acid chlorides and imines with aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl substituents, most of these ligand-free reactions proceeded smoothly at room temperature in moderate to good yields. Furthermore, a facile and convenient one-pot, multistep access to the direct synthesis of α-amino boronic acid derivatives from available aldehydes and amines was also developed.
RESUMEN
Mobilized peripheral blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PB-MSCs) mainly derived from bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) exert a similar anti-inflammatory effect. However, the mechanism of anti-inflammatory effect of mobilized PB-MSCs by a combination of G-CSF and AMD3100 remains unclear. Cultured rat PB-MSCs mobilized by G-CSF/AMD3100 have shown typical surface markers and potential for multiple differentiations, similar to non-mobilized BM-MSCs. In a co-culture system, rat M0-type macrophages co-cultured with PB-MSCs have shown higher expression of M2 markers including CD206, Arg-1, IL-10, and CCL-22 than BM-MSCs, indicating that PB-MSCs induced greater M0 polarization to M2. Furthermore, compared with BM-MSCs, PB-MSCs in a co-culture system with lipopolysaccharide-induced M1-type macrophages more efficiently promoted M1 polarization to M2, accompanied by increasing expression of CD206, Arg-1, IL-10, and CCL-22 while decreasing expression of M1 markers including iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1ß and IL-6, indicating that PB-MSCs triggered greater M1 polarization to M2. Subsequently, polymerase chain reaction arrays showed higher expressions of both IL1rn and Tnfrsf11b in PB-MSCs versus BM-MSCs. In response to an inflammatory niche, such as TNF-α, PB-MSCs have shown higher expression and release of IL1RA, causing greater M2 polarization of macrophages, and the special effects may be almost entirely abolished through the neutralization antibody of IL1RA. Mechanistic studies determined that PB-MSCs showed higher levels NF-κBp65 and NF-κBp-p65 than BM-MSCs, which could be obviously enhanced by TNF-α. And the increased IL1RA expression by TNF-α in PB-MSCs could be markedly canceled by an NF-κB inhibitor PDTC. Interestingly, mimicking the mobilized PB-MSCs by a combination of G-CSF and AMD3100 in vivo, BM-MSCs were treated with G-CSF and/or AMD3100 in vitro, showing the increased expressions of NF-κBp65 and IL1RA, which could be prominently abolished by PDTC. Therefore, targeting IL1rn, gene modification or drug intervention for MSCs may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for human diseases, especially inflammatory diseases.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of a monomer purified from Paris Polyphylla (PP-22) on proliferation, apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma MGC803 cells and to study the sensitizing effect of PP-22 on the proliferation of MGC803 cells to chemo-therapeutic drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) or lobaplatin. METHODS: MTT assay and cell colone formation inhibitory assay were used to determine the inhibitory effect of PP-22 on human gastric carcinoma MGC803 cells. The sensitizing effects of PP-22 on MGC803 cells to chemotherapeutic drugs 5-Fu, lobaplatin were determined by MTT assay. The percentage of apoptotic cells and cell cycle distribution were determined by flow cytometry. The expression of cell apoptosis associated proteins were analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: MTT assay showed that PP-22 inhibited gastric carcinoma MGC803 cells proliferation in dose-dependent manner (r=0.90, P<0.05), but did not inhibit the growth of normal liver L02 cells at the same concentration. Cell colony formation inhibitory assay demonstrated that cell clones decreased with the increase of drug concentrations. The chemosensitivity of 5-Fu, or lobaplatin combined with PP-22 was improved compared with PP-22 group, respectively. PI staining analysis showed that the cell cycle was arrested at S phase. Western blotting detecting showed that the expression of Caspase-9, Caspase-3 were downregulated, the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 is downregulated and pro-apoptotic protein Bak upregulated. CONCLUSION: PP-22 inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of MGC803 cells effectively and also sensitizes MGC803 cells to chemotherapeutic drugs.
RESUMEN
With the purpose of extending our efforts on the search and synthesis of new insecticides with novel acting modes, a series of novel 4-(2-(4-(pyridin-2-yl)piperazin-1-yl)ethoxy)aniline derivatives were designed based on classical serotonin receptor ligands and synthesized through the rapid ionic liquid-supported parallel synthesis with yields up to 88 %. These products were purified through the convenient washing with appropriate solvents and isolated in good yield. In addition, 27 amide or urea derivatives of anilines were also prepared. Bioassay data showed that some of the synthesized compounds displayed selective insecticidal bioactivities against tested pests.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>It has been proved that sevoflurane postconditioning (SpostC) could protect the heart against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, however, there has been few research focused on the electrophysiological effects of SpostC. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of SpostC on action potential duration (APD) and L-type calcium current (I(Ca, L)) in isolated cardiomyocytes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Langendorff perfused SD rat hearts were randomly assigned to one of the time control (TC), ischemia/reperfusion (I/R, 25 minutes of ischemia followed by 30 minutes of reperfusion), and SpostC (postconditioned with 3% sevoflurane) groups. At the end of reperfusion, epicardial myocytes were dissociated enzymatically for patch clamp studies.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Sevoflurane directly prolonged APD and decreased peak I(Ca, L) densities in epicardial myocytes of the TC group (P < 0.05). I/R injury shortened APD and decreased peak I(Ca, L) densities in epicardial myocytes of the I/R group (P < 0.05). SpostC prolonged APD and increased peak I(Ca, L) densities in epicardial myocytes exposed to I/R injury (P < 0.05). SpostC decreased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, reduced the incidence of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and decreased reperfusion arrhythmia scores compared with the I/R group (all P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>SpostC attenuates APD shortening and I(Ca, L) suppression induced by I/R injury. The regulation of APD and I(Ca, L) by SpostC might be related with intracellular ROS modulation, which contributes to the alleviation of reperfusion ventricular arrhythmia.</p>

The methodology of using a silica gel-supported functionalized ionic liquid as a scavenger in the purification of parallel synthesis products was demonstrated. Silica-supported sulfonic acid-functional ionic liquid was synthesized by etherification, aminate, and quaternary aminate from activated silica gel and 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane, imidazole, and 1,4-butanesultone, which was followed by acidification using trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and anion exchange with potassium hexafluorophosphate. A conventional ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate was then used to coat the surface of the silica gel. The silica-supported functionalized ionic liquid was used as a scavenger in the removal of excess amine in the parallel synthesis of amides. Desired products were obtained in excellent yields and purity with a sequestration time of less than 100 min at room temperature. After scavenging, the scavenger was easily filtered out and regenerated.

The microphase adsorption-spectral correction (MPASC) technique was described and applied to the study of the interactions of sodium octanesulfonate (SOS) with human serum albumin (HSA). The aggregation SOS obeys the Langmuir monolayer adsorption. The results show the adsorption ratio of sodium octanesulfonate to HSA is SOS:HSA=18:1.The adsorption constant is K(SOS-HSA)=4.03 × 10(2). The detection limit is 0.036µmol/L. FT-IR spectra proved the binding changed the conformation of HSA.

A novel cationic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanoparticle (cationic POSS) was synthesized and successfully used as a new probe for the detection of DNA by resonance light scattering technique (RLS). It was found that the electrostatic interaction of cationic POSS and DNA could obviously enhance the RLS signal, the enhanced RLS intensity at 360 nm was proportional to the concentration of nucleic acids within the range of 0.35-42.82 microg ml-1 for calf thymus DNA, the determination limit (3sigma) was 0.32 ng ml-1. The results showed this method was very sensitive, convenient, rapid and reproducible.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To search for and verify some common B cell epitopes in the core proteins of woodchuck hepatitis virus and human hepatitis B virus.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Monoclonal antibodies against both core proteins of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) and human hepatitis B virus (HBV) were prepared by inoculating Balb/c mice with denatured recombination WHV and HBV core proteins. ELISA and immunoblotting assays for WHcAg and HBcAg were carried out by using these antibodies. Immunohistochemistry was carried out with liver tissue sections of both WHV-infected woodchucks and chronic HBV-infected patients. The epitopes were mapped with the mouse mAbs (6D1 and 1H4) by using a panel of 24 16mer overlapping peptides covering the entire WHcAg. The amino acid sequences of WHcAg and HBcAg were compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Cross-reactions were observed between mAbs (6D1 and 1H4) and WHcAg and between Mabs and HBcAg/HBcAg in ELISA and immunoblotting assay. Liver tissue sections of both WHV-infected woodchucks and chronic HBV-infected patients could be stained specifically by mAbs. The epitopes were mapped at aa1-8 (6D1) and aa125-140 (1H4) of the core proteins of both WHV and HBV by using ELISA assay. WHcAg and HBcAg share similar amino acids sequences at aa1-8 and aa125-140 respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The core proteins of woodchuck hepatitis virus and human hepatitis B virus share common linear B cell epitopes which span aa1-8 and aa125-140 respectively.</p>
