Objective To study the influence factors and prevention measures of complication of laparoscopic uter?ine surgery. Methods Patient who underwent laparoscopic uterine surgery were collected (n=415) and divided into hyster?ectomy group (n=310) and myomectomy group (n=105). Intraoperative and postoperative complications such as gastrointesti?nal injury, urinary injury and bleeding were recorded and compared between these two groups. Base on their uterine size, pa?tients were divided into Group A (uterine volume ≤300 cm3), Group B (300 cm3

Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is mostly single in basal ganglia, thalamus and pons. Simultaneous hemorrhage in other brain regions is relatively rare, accounting for only 5.6% of all hemorrhagic strokes, while bilateral symmetrical hemorrhage is extremely rare. A case of bilateral basal ganglia symmetrical hemorrhage is reported for clinical reference.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of intraarterial microguidewire electrocoagulation in arterial aneurysms.Methods:(1) SilverSpeed, a kind of microguidewire used in clinical intravascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms, was used to conduct in vitro electrolysis gas generation experiment with isolated arterial blood of anticoagulant New Zealand white rabbits as medium, and thrombus attachment on the surface of microguidewire was observed under scanning electron microscope. (2) Rabbit common carotid artery aneurysm models were established by using vein bag transplantation method, and divided into microguidewire electrocoagulation treatment groups ( n=40) and blank control group ( n=10). The number of closured tumor cavity and the quality of formed thrombus were observed after electrocoagulation simulation treatment with SilverSpeed microguidewire (charging at 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 V voltage, respectively for 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 min). DSA was used to observe whether there was ruptured aneurysms or thrombosis of parent artery. Twelve h later, head MRI diffusion weighted sequence scan was performed to detect whether there were new cerebral ischemia foci in the distal cerebral blood supply area of the parent artery. DSA was performed again 6 months after surgery to observe whether the aneurysms recurred. Results:(1) Electrolytic gas generation experiment results showed that bubbles were generated after electrification of SilverSpeed microguidewire; the higher the voltage, the more severe the reaction. Scanning electron microscope showed that thrombus attached to the surface of the microguidewire after electrification in isolated blood; and the higher the voltage, the denser the thrombus. (2) Under the same charging time, the higher the voltage, the larger the number of closured tumor cavity in rabbits of the microguidewire electrocoagulation treatment groups. Under the same voltage, the longer the charging time, the better the quality of thrombosis. Ischemic events occurred only in the microguidewire electrocoagulation treatment group with voltage>9 V, and the charging duration was not associated with the incidence of embolic events. When the voltage was 15 V, 2 experimental rabbits died due to aneurysm rupture 3 min after electrification. When the voltage was 18 V, 4 experimental rabbits died of cardiac arrest 9 min after electrification, and another 2 rabbits died of aneurysm rupture 6 min after electrification.Conclusions:High voltage is the main cause of adverse events in the microguidewire electrocoagulation treatment of aneurysms. After setting the appropriate voltage, prolonging the electrification time can improve the electrocoagulation effect without increasing the safety risk.

Purpose:
Accumulating evidence has suggested that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is critically involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of TLR4 in toluene diisocyanate (TDI)-induced allergic airway inflammation.
Methods:
TLR4−/− and wild-type (WT) C57BL/10J mice were sensitized and challenged with TDI to generate a TDI-induced asthma model. B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors, ABT-199 (4 mg/kg) and ABT-737 (4 mg/kg), were intranasally given to TDI-exposed TLR4−/− mice after each challenge.
Results:
TDI exposure led to increased airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), granulocyte flux, bronchial epithelial shedding and extensive submucosal collagen deposition, which were unexpectedly aggravated by TLR4 deficiency. Following TDI challenge, TLR4−/− mice exhibited down-regulated interleukin-17A and increased colony-stimulating factor 3 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), while WT mice did not. In addition, TLR4 deficiency robustly suppressed the expression of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 and NLR family CARD domain containing 4, decreased caspase-1 activity in TDI-exposed mice, but had no effect on the level of high mobility group box 1 in BALF. Flow cytometry revealed that TDI hampered both neutrophil and eosinophil apoptosis, of which neutrophil apoptosis was further inhibited in TDI-exposed TLR4−/− mice, with marked up-regulation of Bcl-2. Moreover, inhibition of Bcl-2 with either ABT-199 or ABT-737 significantly alleviated neutrophil recruitment by promoting apoptosis.
Conclusions
These data indicated that TLR4 deficiency promoted neutrophil infiltration by impairing its apoptosis via up-regulation of Bcl-2, thereby resulting in deteriorated AHR and airway inflammation, which suggests that TLR4 could be a negative regulator of TDI-induced neutrophilic inflammation.

AIM: To observe and compare the clinical efficacy and safety of remimazolam and propofol alone and in combination in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) anesthesia. METHODS: A total of 120 patients undergoing elective ERCP were divided into the propofol group (P group), the remimazolam group (R group), and the remimazolam combined with propofol group (RP group) according to a random number table, with 40 patients in each group, and the three groups completed anesthesia according to the designated drug regimen (propofol in group P; remimazolam in group R; and remimazolam combined with propofol in group RP). General information, operation time and awakening time of the patients in the three groups were compared, as well as oxygen saturation (SpO

Methods:
60 male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups on average, including normal group, model group and treatment group, with 20 rats in each group.Rats of model group and treatment group are given 6% (V/V) alcohol solution continuously for 28 d to establish the model of chronic alcoholism.Rats in the treatment group were given butylphthalide for 14 days from the fourteenth day after giving alcohol solution.The Y type electric maze was used to test the learning and memory ability of rats, the content of H2S in the hippocampus and the activity of mitochondrial ATP enzyme were measured by spectrophotometry, and the protein expression of F-actin was detected by Western blot.
Results:
Compared with the normal group, the learning and memory ability of the rats in the model group were decreased, the content of H2S in the hippocampus were increased, and the activity of mitochondrial ATP enzyme and the expression of F-actin protein were decreased, and most of the mitochondria were damaged under the electron microscope.The training times of the rats in treatment group(61.88±3.61)was lower than that of the model group(82.19±4.87), the ability of learning and memory was improved(
