Objective To evaluate DSA feature, the value, efficacy and side effect, survival time of microcathereter superselective catherization intervenetional treatment on liver metastases cancer. Methods 60 cases with liver metastases cancers were cannulated through common femoral artery by seldinger technique. If the artery was lack, second radiography was given through superselective hepatic artery. On the base of DSA feature of liver metastases, all the patients were divided into two groups: superselective- catherization group and nonsuperselective-catherization group. There were 30 patients in each group respectively. Microcathereter was used in the former to "embed" the tumor vessel and "siphonal" technique was used in the later. Compared the changes of the two groups in volume, the deposit of iodized oil in liver matastases after treating one month and the changes of ALT, ALB, TBIL in blood. The efficacy and side effect were compared in two groups. The survival time and DSA feature of using microcathereter were also analyzed. Results The DSA feature and efficacy of superselective-catherization group was better than that of non-superselective-catherization group, the side effect was mild and the survival time was longer than the former. Conclusion Microcathereter superselective catherization to treat liver metastases cancer has better efficacy, artery radiography, lighter side effect and can prolong the survival time.

Objective To explore the effect of topical application of sodium hyaluronate on preventing perivascular adhesion of the vein grafts in rabbits. Methods Thirty-six male New Zealand white rabbits, aged 5 months, were randomly and equally divided into 2 groups: groups A and B. Arterial defect model was established by cutting about 1cm artery from the middle part of the dissected left common carotid artery. A section about 3cm was cut from the right external jugular vein, and the harvested vein was inverted and anastomosed end-to-end to the artery defect. After the anastomosis, the adventitia and two anastomoses of the grafted veins in group A were coated locally with 0.2ml sodium hyaluronate. The grafted veins were obtained 1, 2 and 4 weeks after the operation, with the perivascular adhesion of the vein grafts being examined macroscopically before the resection. HE staining and Masson staining were preformed for histological changes of grafted vein wall and the perivascular adhesion of the vein grafts. At 2, 4 weeks postoperation, the perivascular adhesions of the vein grafts were graded by the grading criteria of adhesion in macroscopic evaluation and histological evaluation. Result At 1, 2 and 4 weeks postoperatively, the macroscopic and histological observation found that the perivascular adhesions in group A were looser than those in group B. The macroscopic grade and histological grade were lower in group A than in group B, there was a significant difference between the two groups at 2 and 4 weeks postoperation (P<0.05). Conclusion Topical application of sodium hyaluronate can reduce the perivascular adhesion and is an ideal treatment strategy for preventing perivascular adhesion of vein grafts.

Recombinant human interferon α2b(rhIFNα2b)is widely used as an antiviral therapy agent for the treatment of hepatitis B and hepatitis C.The current identification test for rhIFNα2b is complex.In this study,an anti-rhIFNα2b nanobody was discovered and used for the development of a rapid lateral flow strip for the identification of rhIFNα2b.RhIFNα2b was used to immunize an alpaca,which established a phage nanobody library.After five steps of enrichment,the nanobody I22,which specifically bound rhIFNα2b,was isolated and inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a.After subsequent purification,the physicochemical properties of the nanobody were determined.A semiquantitative detection and rapid identification assay of rhIFNα2b was developed using this novel nanobody.To develop a rapid test,the nanobody I22 was coupled with a colloidal gold to produce lateral-flow test strips.The developed rhIFNα2b detection assay had a limit of detection of 1 μg/mL.The isolation of I22 and successful construction of a lateral-flow immunochromatographic test strip demonstrated the feasibility of performing ligand-binding assays on a lateral-flow test strip using recombinant protein products.The principle of this novel assay is generally applicable for the rapid testing of other com-mercial products,with a great potential for routine use in detecting counterfeit recombinant protein products.

Objective:To investigate and evaluate if pulse oxygen saturation/fraction of inhaled oxygen (SpO 2/FiO 2) can be used, as replacement of arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inhaled oxygen (PaO 2/FiO 2), to assess oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients at different high altitudes in Yunnan Province, and to find a rapid and non-invasive method for the diagnosis of ARDS at different altitudes. Methods:Patients with ARDS at different high altitudes in Yunnan Province from January 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups according to different altitudes, and received different oxygen therapies according to their respective medical conditions. Group 1 consisted of patients with moderate to severe ARDS from the department of critical care medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University (average altitude approximately 1 800 m), and received mechanical ventilation to maintain SpO 2 of 0.90-0.96 with a low FiO 2 for more than 30 minutes, and SpO 2, FiO 2, PaO 2 were recorded. Group 2 consisted of patients with moderate to severe ARDS at the department of critical care medicine of People's Hospital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (mean altitude about 3 200 m), and received oxygen with an attached reservoir mask to maintain SpO 2 of 0.90-0.96 for 10 minutes, and then SpO 2, FiO 2, and PaO 2 were recorded. Group 3 consisted of patients with mild to moderate-severe ARDS who admitted to the emergency department of the People's Hospital of Lijiang (average altitude approximately 2 200 m); when SpO 2 < 0.90, patients received oxygen with the oxygen storage mask, and the FiO 2 required to maintain SpO 2 ≥ 0.90 was recorded, and SpO 2, FiO 2, PaO 2 were recorded after oxygen inhalation for 10 minutes. Spearman coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between SpO 2/FiO 2 and PaO 2/FiO 2 in each group. Linear analysis was used to derive the linear equation between SpO 2/FiO 2 and PaO 2/FiO 2, and to evaluate arterial pH, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), FiO 2, tidal volume (VT), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and other related factors which would change the correlation between SpO 2/FiO 2 and PaO 2/FiO 2. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of using SpO 2/FiO 2 instead of PaO 2/FiO 2 to assess oxygenation of ARDS patients. Results:Group 1 consisted of 24 ARDS patients from whom 271 blood gas analysis results were collected; group 2 consisted of 14 ARDS patients from whom a total of 47 blood gas analysis results were collected; group 3 consisted of 76 ARDS patients, and a total of 76 blood gas analysis results were collected. The PaO 2/FiO 2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) in groups 1, 2 and 3 were 103 (79, 130), 168 (98, 195) and 232 (146, 271) respectively, while SpO 2/FiO 2 were 157 (128, 190), 419 (190, 445) and 319 (228, 446) respectively. Among the three groups, patients in group 1 had the lowest PaO 2/FiO 2 and SpO 2/FiO 2, while patients in group 3 had the highest. Spearman correlation analysis showed that PaO 2/FiO 2 was highly correlated with SpO 2/FiO 2 in groups 1, 2 and 3 ( r values were 0.830, 0.951, 0.828, all P < 0.05). Regression equation was fitted according to linear analysis: in group 1 SpO 2/FiO 2 = 58+0.97×PaO 2/FiO 2 ( R2 = 0.548, P < 0.001) ; in group 2 SpO 2/FiO 2 = 6+2.13×PaO 2/FiO 2 ( R2 = 0.938, P < 0.001); in group 3 SpO 2/FiO 2 = 53+1.33×PaO 2/FiO 2 ( R2 = 0.828, P < 0.001). Further analysis revealed that PEEP, FiO 2, and arterial blood pH could affect the correlation between SpO 2/FiO 2 and PaO 2/FiO 2. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.848 and 0.916 in group 1 with moderate to severe ARDS; based on the regression equation, the corresponding SpO 2/FiO 2 cut-off values at a PaO 2/FiO 2 of 100 mmHg and 200 mmHg were 155, 252 with a sensitivity of 84.9% and 100%, specificity of 87.2% and 70.6%, respectively. Patients with moderate to severe ARDS in group 2 (AUC was 0.945 and 0.977), the corresponding SpO 2/FiO 2 cut-off values at PaO 2/FiO 2 of 100 mmHg and 200 mmHg were 219 and 432 with the sensitivity of 100% and 85.2%, specificity of 82.5% and 100%, respectively. Patients with mild to moderate-severe ARDS in group 3 (AUC was 0.903 and 0.936), the corresponding SpO 2/FiO 2 cut-off values at a PaO 2/FiO 2 of 200 mmHg and 300 mmHg were 319 and 452 with the sensitivity of 100% and 100%, specificity of 80.9% and 86.2%, respectively. Conclusion:SpO 2/FiO 2 and PaO 2/FiO 2 in ARDS patients at different high altitudes in Yunnan Province have a good correlation, and non-invasive SpO 2/FiO 2 can be used to replace PaO 2/FiO 2 to assess the oxygenation in ARDS patients.
