BACKGROUND:Bone marrow stromal stem cels transplanted into infracted cardiac tissue can inhibit and reduce myocardial apoptosis, but whether this effect is correlated with improvement in cardiac function is stil unclear. OBJECTIVE:To study the early effect of bone marrow stromal stem cels transplanted into the ischemic myocardium on the cardiac function. METHODS: Models of acute myocardial infarction were established by ligation of the left anterior descending branch, while no ligation was done in the sham group. In the transplantation group, rat bone marrow stromal stem cels (0.1 mL, 2×106 RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 3 days after cel transplantation, myocardial apoptosis was more evident in the infarct and ischemic zones of the model group than the sham group; the number of apoptotic myocardial cels was significantly lower in the infarct and ischemic zones of the transplantation group than the model group. Compared with the sham group, the mean arterial blood pressure and left ventricular systolic pressure were ) were injected into five sites on the edge of infarcted myocardial tissues at 30 minutes after myocardial infarction. In the sham group and model group, the same volume of normal saline was injected into the myocardial tissues. Three days after cel transplantation, hemodynamic monitoring, echocardiography, TUNEL assay were employed to detect myocardial apoptosis. significantly reduced, the left ventricular end diastolic pressure was increased, and the left ventricular ejection fraction and shortened fraction were significantly lowered in the model and transplantation groups (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the model and transplantation groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that myocardial apoptosis can be reduced but the cardiac function cannot be improved in acute myocardial infarction rats at early stage after bone marrow stromal stem cels transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral flexible ureteroscopy combined with single channel minimally invasive percutaneous nephroscopy in the treatment of complex renal calculi.Methods:A total of 72 patients with complex renal calculi admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from November 2019 to April 2022 were prospective selected, which were randomly divided into study group and control group by the random number table method, with 36 cases in each group. The control group underwent single channel minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy, while the study group underwent transurethral flexible ureteroscopy combined with single channel minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The perioperative indexes (operation time, postoperative hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss), stone removal effect, renal function indicators [blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr)] and complication rate were compared between the two groups. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for inter-group comparison. The Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method were used to compare the count data of two groups. Results:The operation time [(101.05±11.34) min vs (107.84±10.28) min] and postoperative hospital stay [(8.54±3.15) d vs (12.36±4.08) d] in the study group were significantly shorter than those in the control group, and the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The amount of intraoperative bleeding was close to that in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The primary stone clearance rate and summary stone clearance rate in the study group were 91.67% (33/36) and 100.0% (36/36), respectively, which were significantly higher than 69.44% (25/36) and 83.33% (30/36) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The postoperative BUN and SCr levels in the study group were (5.24±0.31) mmol/L and (90.65±25.57) μmol/L, respectively, the control group was (7.69±0.78) mmol/L and (131.96±37.80) μmol/L, respectively. BUN and SCr levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (5.56% vs 16.67%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Transurethral flexible ureteroscopy combined with single channel minimally invasive percutaneous nephroscopy is an ideal method for the treatment of complex renal calculi, which has good removal effect, less complications and helps to improve renal function.

Objective:To investigate the common bacteria in the oropharynx of children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 134 children with MPP who were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatric Respiratory, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from December 2016 to June 2017 were selected as the research subjects, and 42 healthy children in the same hospital were selected retrospectively as the healthy control group during the same period.Fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction Taqman probe was used to detect common oropharyngeal bacteria[ Streptococcus pneumoniae(SP), Moraxella catarrhalis(CTA), Haemophilus influenza(HI)] for the enrolled children.Firstly, the bacterial detection rate of MPP children and healthy children was compared.Then, according to age(<1 years old, 1-<3 years old, 3-<6 years old and 6-14 years old), bacterial detection[Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP), MP+ bacteria]and bacterial species(MP+ SP, MP+ CTA, MP+ HI), 134 children with MPP were divided into groups to compare.Moreover, the relevant clinical datas were retrospectively analyzed by rank sum test and chi- square test. Results:Among 134 children with MPP, 79 (58.96%) children were detected bacteria, and 17 (40.48%) children were detected bacteria among 42 healthy children, with statistically significant differences( χ2=4.404, P<0.05). Compared with the MP group, the level of white blood cell (WBC)[8.5(6.7, 12.0)×10 9/L vs.7.8(5.8, 9.3)×10 9/L, Z=-2.232], C reactive protein(CRP)[19.2(7.2, 35.0) mg/L vs.8.4(3.4, 24.6) mg/L, Z=-2.810], lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)[286(244, 365) U/L vs.250(210, 302) U/L, Z=-2.474] and the incidence of lobar pneumonia[40.51%(32/79 cases) vs.18.18%(10/55 cases), χ2=7.510], pleural effusion[13.92%(11/79 cases) vs.3.64%(2/55 cases), χ2=3.917], refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP)[34.18%(27/79 cases) vs.18.18%(10/55 cases), χ2=4.151] in MP+ bacteria group were higher; the course of fever[10(7, 12) d vs.8(6, 10) d, Z=-2.706] and duration of antibiotic use[16(13, 19) d vs.12(9, 16) d, Z=-3.747] in MP+ bacteria group were longer (all P<0.05). The level of WBC in MP+ SP group[12.20(7.80, 17.30)×10 9/L] was higher than that in MP+ HI group [6.75(5.37, 9.44)×10 9/L], and the differences were statistically significant( Z=11.574, P<0.05), and the incidence of lobar pneumonia in MP+ SP group [56.67%(17/30 cases)]was higher than that in MP+ CTA group [0(0/3 cases)]and MP+ HI group[18.75%(3/16 cases)], and the differences were statistically significant( χ2=9.770, P<0.05). Conclusions:Bacterial colonization or infection is more likely to occur in the oropharynx of children with MPP.When WBC, CRP, and LDH are significantly increased and the image shows a large consolidation or pleural effusion, it may indicate mixed bacterial infection, longer course of fever and higher incidence of RMPP, and the common mixed bacteria is SP.

Objective:To estimate in-hospital mortality after knee replacement (KR) and to assess its trend and risk factors in China.Methods:We included patients undergoing KR in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System in China (2013-2019) to estimate in-hospital mortality after KR and assessed relation of patient's and hospital's characteristics (year of surgery, age, gender, marital status, primary indication, Charlson comorbidity index, geographic location, hospital type, hospital volume of KR, and surgery type) to in-hospital mortality using multivariable Poisson regression.Results:The annual amount of KR has increased from 20 307 in 2013 to 35 757 in 2019, and has maintained an upward trend for 7 years. The mean age of patients having KR increased from 64.9 years in 2013 to 66.6 years in 2019. Of the total 218 923 KRs, 63 deaths (0.29‰) occurred within 30 days before discharging. Older age was associated with higher in-hospital mortality ( P for trend <0.001). Male gender had higher incidence of in-hospital mortality compared with female [relative risk (RR), 2.5; 95% CI: 1.5, 4.1]. Single marital status was associated with higher, albeit non-statistically significant, in-hospital mortality than married patients (RR, 2.1; 95% CI: 0.9, 4.6). Higher Charlson comorbidity index was associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality ( P for trend <0.001). Risk of in-hospital mortality decreased with more hospital-year knee replacement surgeries ( P for trend <0.001). In-hospital mortality varied by geographic regions, with the lowest mortality in East region (0.16‰), followed by South-West (0.31‰), South-Central (0.31‰), North region (0.33‰), North-West (0.54‰) and North-East (0.59‰). Conclusion:In-hospital mortality after KR in China was relatively low. Older age, male gender, higher Charlson comorbidity index and lower hospital-year knee replacement surgeries were risk factors for in-hospital mortality. The mortality varied greatly according to the geographic location of hospital.

Objective To investigate the antibacterial effect of Fusidic acid on Mycoplasma pneumoniae and antibiotic resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae in vitro.Methods Twenty-eight clinical strains of Mycoplasma pneumoniae isolated from patients with respiratory tract infection at Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to the Capital University of Medical Sciences from January to December 2016 and 2 Mycoplasma pneumoniae reference strains were enrolled.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Fusidic acid and Azithromycin were determined by using micro-dilution ration method.The chessboard method was used to check the antibacterial effect of combination between Fusidic acid and Azithromycin.The antibacterial activity of the Fusidic acid was evaluated by measuring the antibacterial rate of different concentrations.Results One isolate showed no mutation in 23SrRNA,26 isolates had one point mutation in loci 2063 and 1 isolate had one point mutation in loci 2064 among the 28 clinical isolates.The findings by micro-dilution method results showed that the MIC values of all the clinical isolates with mutations associated with macrolide resistance to Azithromycin were > 1.000 0 mg/L,and the MIC values of all the clinical isolates with no mutations to azithromycin were < 0.500 0 mg/L.The findings by micro-dilution method results showed that the MIC value of Fusidic acid for Mycoplasma pneumonia and drug resistance Mycoplasma pneumoniae was 1.000 0 mg/L.The Fractional Inhibitory Concentration index of Fusidic acid and Azithromycin combination was ≤0.500 0 mg/L.When the concentration of the Fusidic acid was lower than or equal to 32 MIC,the antibacterial effect of Fusidic acid against Mycoplasma pneumoniae increased with its higher concentration.When the concentration of the Fusidic acid was lower than or equal to 8 MIC,the longer the strain was exposed to the drug,the stronger antibacterial effect was against Mycoplasma pneumoniae.Conclusion If the treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is not effective or the infection of patient is combined with bacteria,the application or combination of Fusidic acid may inhibit pathogenic bacteria effectively.Of course,how to use Fusidic acid in clinical treatment needs further study and discussion.
