Objective To study the effect of high-flow oxygen insuffiation (HFOI) via nasal cannula in reduction in re-intubation rate,length of ICU stay and improvement of respiratory function in patients at high risk of re-intubation after weaning from mechanical ventilation assessed by lung ultrasound score (LUS).Methods Single center randomized(random number) clinical trial was carried out in one intensive care units in China from May 2016 to May 2017 including critically ill patients ready for planned extubation with high-risk factors for re-intubation assessed by LUS when the LUS ≥ 14 was considered to be high risk.The comparisons of the length of ICU stay,re-intubation rate in case of respiratory failure,respiratory rate pulse rate SaO2 PaO2/FiO2 of patients at 6 h,24 h and 48 hours after extubation were made between HFOI and conventional oxygen therapy (COT) group.Results During the study period,32 patients were enrolled in the study.Of them,15 were assigned in HFOI group and 17 in COT group.The length of ICU stay (8.0±2.4)days vs.(10.9±3.5) days and re-intubation rate (6.7％ vs.23.5％) were significantly different between two groups (P＜0.05).The respiratory rate pulse rate SaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 of patients at 6 h after ex-tubation in HFOI group were improved than those in COT group (P＜0.05);and the SaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 of patients 24 h and 48 h after ex-tubation in HFOI group had much more improvement than those in COT group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Among high-risk adults who assessed by lung ultrasound score,high-flow oxygen therapy could reduce re-intubation rate length of ICU stay and improve the respiratory function.High-flow oxygen therapy may offer advantages for these patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of mild hypothermia on inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) signaling pathway during myocardial injury after cardiac arrest and resuscitation in swine.Methods Twenty-one healthy male white swine,weighing 33-41 kg,were divided into 3 groups using a random number table method:sham operation group (group S,n =5),cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation group (group CA-CPR,n=8),and mild hypothermia group (group MH,n=8).The model of cardiac arrest and resuscitation was established based on the previously reported method.The catheters placed in the left femoral artery and right internal jugular vein were connected to the PiCCO Monitor system,and another pacing catheter was advanced from the right external jugular vein into the right ventricle.Ventricular fibrillation was induced by using a 1 mA alternating current through the pacing catheter.Once ventricular fibrillation was successfully induced,mechanical ventilation was discontinued for 8 min,and then cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated.Epinephrine 20 μg/kg was administered at 2.5 min of resuscitation followed by repetition every 3 min.Defibrillation was delivered at 5 min of resuscitation,and then spontaneous circulation was evaluated.If return of spontaneous circulation was not achieved,cardiopulmonary resuscitation was immediately resumed for 2 min and then defibrillation was delivered again.Mechanical ventilation was continued for 30 h after successful resuscitation.Animals in group S only underwent surgical preparation without experiencing cardiac arrest and resuscitation.At 5 min after successful resuscitation,body temperature was cooled down to 33 ℃ by using a cooling blanket,and then maintained at this level until 24 h after resuscitation,followed by 5 h of re-warming at a rate of 1 ℃/h in group MH.The temperature was maintained at 37.5-38.5 ℃ with the aid of surface cooling blanket in the other two groups.At 1,6,12,24 and 30 h after resuscitation (T1-5),the values of stroke volume (SV) and global ejection fraction (GEF) were recorded,and meanwhile 2 ml of blood samples was obtained via the femoral vein to measure the concentration of serum cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and activity of serum creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) (by immunosuppression).The swine were sacrificed at 30 h after resuscitation,and then myocardial specimens from the left ventricle were obtained for determination of the expression of caspase-3 (by immunohistochemistry),cell apoptosis (by TUNEL),and expression of IRE1 and casepase-12 (by Western blot).Apoptosis index was calculated.Results Compared with group S,SV and GEF were significantly decreased and the serum CK-MB activity was increased at T1-5,the concentration of serum cTnI was increased at T2-5,the expression of IRE1,caspase-12 and caspase-3 in myocardium was up-regulated,and apoptosis index was increased in CA-CPR and MH groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group CA-CPR,the SV and GEF were significantly increased and the concentration of serum cTnI was decreased at T2-5,the activity of serum CK-MB was decreased at T3-5,the expression of IRE1,caspase-12 and caspase-3 in myocardium was down-regulated,and apoptosis index was decreased in group MH (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which mild hypothermia mitigates myocardial injury after cardiac arrest and resuscitation may be related to inhibiting IRE1 signaling pathway in swine.

Objective To investigate the effects of rapid hypothermia induced via esophagus on intestinal mucous injury in early stage after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a swine model of cardiac arrest.Methods Twenty-seven male domestic pigs weighing (36±2)kg were utilized.The animals were randomly crandom number divided into 3 groups (n=9 in each):normothermia group (NT group),surface cooling group (SC group),and esophageal cooling group (EC group).The pig model was established by 8 mins of untreated ventricular fibrillation and then 5 mins of CPR.At 5 mins after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC),therapeutic hypothermia was applied by either an esophageal cooling device in the EC group or a surface cooling blanket in the SC group to reach a targeted temperature of 33 ℃ maintained for 24 h after ROSC,and then followed by warming up in a rate of 1 ℃ / hr for 5 hrs.A normal temperature of (38.0±0.5)℃ was maintained throughout the experiment in the NT group.The core temperature was continuously monitored during a period of 30 h after ROSC.At 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h and 30 h after ROSC,intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) content and diamine oxidase (DAO) activity in serum were measured by ELISA.At 30 h after ROSC,the pigs were sacrificed,and then intestinal tissue was rapidly obtained for the determination of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) contents by ELISA,cell apoptosis by TUNEL,and caspase-3 expression by immunohistochemistry.Results The rate of temperature decrease was 2.8 ℃/h and the time required for target temperature was 102 min in the EC group,while the rate of temperature decrease was 1.5 /h and the time consumed for target temperature was 185 mins in the SC group,which suggested the efficacy of cooling was significantly better in the EC group than that in the SC group (both P＜0.05).Compared with the NT group,serum IFABP content and DAO activity were significantly decreased at 3 hrs after ROSC in the EC group and at 6 hrs after ROSC in the SC group.Compared with the SC group,serum IFABP content at 6 hrs after ROSC and DAO activity at 12 h after ROSC were significantly decreased in the EC group IFABP (pg/mL):(710±32) vs.(777±52) at 6 h,(870±49) vs.(960±64) at 12 h,(1 022±65)vs.(1 143±63) at 24 h,(882±71) vs.(1 006±45) at 30 h DAO (U/mL):(39.9±1.9) vs.(43.4±3.2) at 12 h,(30.6±2.4) vs.(34.0±3.1) at 24 h,(26.1±2.7) vs.(29.4±2.2) at 30 h,all P＜0.05.In the intestinal tissue,TNF-α and IL-6 contents were significantly reduced,and cell apoptosis index and caspase-3 expression were significantly decreased in the SC and EC groups compared with the NT group.Additionally,inflammatory response and cell apoptosis in intestinal tissue were further significantly lesser in the EC group compared with the SC group TNF-α (pg/mL):(721±94) vs.(922±125);IL-6(pg/mL):(454±69) vs.(697±132);Apoptotic index(％):(6.2±2.6)vs.(12.8±3.0);caspase-3 expression (IOD):(8.9±1.6) vs.(15.9±1.9),all P＜0.05.Conclusions In a swine model of cardiac arrest,rapid hypothermia could be successfully induced via esophagus and consequently produced a greater protective effect on post-resuscitation intestinal injury compared with the conventional surface cooling.The protective mechanisms are associated with the inhibition of inflammatory response and cell apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE：To investigate the reversal effects and potential mechanism of levoshikonin （L-SHK）on cisplatin （DDP）resistance of human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells. METHODS ：Human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells were used as research objects ，and drug-resistant HeLa/DDP cells were induced by DDP. CCK- 8 assay was used to determine drug resistance index of HeLa/DDP cells ，the inhibition rate of different doses of L-SHK （0.125，0.25，0.5，1，2，4，8，16 μmol/L）on cell proliferation，IC50 and the reversion index of L-SHK on HeLa/DDP cells. Effects of low ，medium and high doses of L-SHK （0.3， 0.6，1.2 μmol/L）combined with DDP on cell cycle and apoptosis rate were determined by flow cytometry. Western blotting assay was used to detect the effects of low ，medium and high doses of L-SHK （0.3，0.6，1.2 μmol/L）combined with DDP on the expression of apoptosis-related protein （Cleaved caspase- 3，Bcl-2 and Bax ）. RESULTS ：The drug resistance index of HeLa/DDP cells was 11.8. The inhibition rate of L-SHK on HeLa/DDP cells increased with the increase of dose. Compared with DDP alone ， IC50 of DDP+low-dose ，medium-dose and high-dose L-SHK groups were decreased significantly ，with a dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. The reversion indexes were 1.38，2.80，6.71 in DDP+low-dose ，medium-dose and high-dose L-SHK groups. Compared with blank control group ，the proportion of cells at phase G 0/G1 and phase S in administration groups ，as well as early and late apoptosis rate and total apoptosis rate of cells ，the protein expression of Bax and Cleaved caspase- 3 in L-SHK combination groups were increased significantly ；the proportion of cells at phase G 2/M in administration group as well as the protein expression of Bcl-2 in L-SHK combination groups were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with DDP group ，the proportion of cells at phase S and G 2/M and the protein expression of Bcl- 2 in L-SHK combination groups were significantly decreased ；the proportion of cells at phase G 0/G1，early and late apoptosis rate and total apoptosis rate ，the protein expression of Bax and Cleaved caspase- 3 in L-SHK combination groups were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：HeLa/DDP cells are resistant to DDP ，and L-SHK can reverse the drug resistance. L-SHK combined with DDP can promote the apoptosis of HeLa/DDP cells ，which is better than DDP alone. Its mechanism may be related to the influence of cell cycle and the regulation of apoptosis-related protein expression.
