Objective To observe the protective effect of aprotinin on the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods Rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was created by the middle cerebral artery embolization. The changes of IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-8 content in the brain tissue were measured by ELISA. The neurological scores were made on Zea Longa 5-point scale. Results In model group, the IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-8 protein content began to increase slightly at 3 hours compared with sham group, reached the peal[at 12 hours. In the aprotinin treated group, aprotinin reduced the protein content. It showed no significant difference between model group and aprotinin treated group at 3 hours, however and there was greatly difference at 6,12 and 24 hours between these two groups. Conclusion The present study provides in vivo evidence that aprotinin protects brain against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The mechanism is related to the decrease of cerebral levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-8.

Objective To investigate the hemodynamic effects of naloxone in post-resuscitation dog from cardiac arrest. Methods Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was induced, and cardiac output(CO) was measured in 25 dogs before and 6 hours after successful resuscitation from 3 minutes VF. 25 dogs were randomly divided into control group(n=6), CPR group (n=12) and naloxone(NLX) group (n=7). Results Six dogs finished 6-hour experiment in both CPR and NLX groups, and the others did not finish the whole experiment. The time of restoration of spontaneous circulation was not significantly different between CPR group and NLX group. The mean artery pressure(MAP) of CPR group was lower than that of control group in 4, 6 hours after successful resuscitation. The MAP of NLX group was higher than that of CPR group in 2,4 and 6 hours after successful resuscitation, and no significantly different compared with that of normal group. CO in both CPR and NLX groups was lower than that in control group after successful resuscitation. CO in NLX group was higher than that in CPR group in 1 to 6 hours after resuscitation. Conclusion There is myocardial dysfunction in post-resuscitation dog from cardiac arrest. Naloxone can improve their hemodynamic status.

PURPOSE: Details of patients hospitalized for asthma exacerbation in mainland China are lacking. To improve disease control and reduce economic burden, a large sample survey among this patient population is indispensable. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of such patients.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on patients hospitalized for asthma exacerbation in 29 hospitals of 29 regions in mainland China during the period 2013 to 2014. Demographic features, pre-admission conditions, exacerbation details, and outcomes were summarized. Risk factors for exacerbation severity were analyzed.RESULTS: There were 3,240 asthmatic patients included in this study (57.7% females, 42.3% males). Only 28.0% used daily controller medications; 1,287 (39.7%) patients were not currently on inhaled corticosteroids. Acute upper airway infection was the most common trigger of exacerbation (42.3%). Patients with severe to life-threatening exacerbation tended to have a longer disease course, a smoking history, and had comorbidities such as hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and food allergy. The multivariate analysis showed that smoking history, comorbidities of hypertension, COPD, and food allergy were independent risk factors for more severe exacerbation. The number of patients hospitalized for asthma exacerbation varied with seasons, peaking in March and September. Eight patients died during the study period (mortality 0.25%).CONCLUSIONS: Despite enhanced education on asthma self-management in China during recent years, few patients were using daily controller medications before the onset of their exacerbation, indicating that more educational efforts and considerations are needed. The findings of this study may improve our understanding of hospital admission for asthma exacerbation in mainland China and provide evidence for decision-making.

BACKGROUND:
Anlotinib is a newly developed small molecule multiple receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that was approved for the treatment of patients with lung cancer in China. We aim to report 3 cases of rare complication of anlotinib-bronchial fistula (BF) during the treatment of lung cancer patients and summarize the possible causes.
METHODS:
We collected three patients who developed BF due to anlotinib treatment, and conducted a search of Medline and PubMed for medical literature published between 2018 and 2020 using the following search terms: "anlotinib," "lung cancer," and "fistula."
RESULTS:
Our literature search produced two case reports (three patients) which, in addition to our three patients. We collated the patients' clinical characteristics including demographic information, cancer type, imaging features, treatment received, risk factors for anlotinib related BF, and treatment-related outcomes. The six patients shared some common characteristics: advanced age, male, concurrent infection symptoms, diabetes mellitus (DM), advanced squamous cell and small cell lung cancers, centrally located tumors, tumor measuring ≥5 cm in longest diameter, and newly formed tumor cavitation after multi-line treatment especially after receiving radiotherapy. Fistula types included broncho-pericardial fistula, broncho-pleural fistula, and esophago-tracheobronchial fistula. Six patients all died within 6 months.
CONCLUSIONS
Although anlotinib is relatively safe, it is still necessary to pay attention to the occurrence of BF, a rare treatment side effect that threatens the quality of life and overall survival of patients. Anlotinib, therefore, requires selective use and close observation of high-risk patients.
