Objective To evaluate the effects and side effects of three different recruitment maneuvers (RM) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by extrapulmonary disease.Methods Forty-four patients of extrapulmonary ARDS, according to crossover design methods, were undergone three RM in different periods, including sustained inflation (SI), increase progressively positive end expiratory pressure (IP), pressure control ventilation (PCV). Heart rate (HR), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), oxygenation index, lung compliance were recorded before and after RM, and were analyzed for statistical analysis. Results Oxygenation index and lung compliance were increased obviously in a short time after RM, improvement of IP method were better more obviously than the other two methods [1 h oxygenation index after RM:227 ± 42 vs 190 ± 19,186 ± 21; lung compliance:(59.4±12.5 ) ml/cm H2O(1 cm H2O = 0.098 kPa) vs (50.1 ± 9.3 ), (49.7 ± 10.6) ml/cm H2O;P< 0.05], 2h after RM,there were no statistical difference among the three methods (P>0.05). After RM,HR and CVPwere increased, MAP was decreased in a short time, changes of SI method were smaller than the other two inethods [10 min HR after RM: (94.0±10.3 ) beats/min vs (116.0 ± 14.8 ), ( 107.0 ± 5.7 ) beats/min; CVP:(13.7±3.1 )cm H2O vs ( 18.4 ± 6.7 ), ( 15.4 ± 2.7 )cm H2O; MAP: ( 87.0 ± 12.1 ) mm Hg( 1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) vs (73.0 ± 4.8), (81.0 ± 6.6) mm Hg;P< 0.05), 20 min after RM, there were no statistical difference among the three methods (P> 0.05). Conclusion When extrapulmonary ARDS undergo RM ,IP method is the most effective on increasing oxygenation index and lung compliance, SI method has the smallest side effect on hemodynamics.

A method of direct injection and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS / MS) was developed for simultaneous determination of 5 aniline compounds including aniline, 3-nitroaniline, 4-nitroaniline, 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline and hexanitrodiphenylamine in drinking water and source water. The samples were filtered using a 0. 22-μm polyethersulfone membrane prior to HPLC analysis. Five target compounds were chromatographically separated on an HSS T3 column with gradient elution. Chromatographic data were acquired by tandem mass spectrometric detection in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, and thus favorable resolutions of all target compounds were achieved within 4 min. Under the optimal analytical conditions, the peak area of each analyte and its concentration had a good correlation within the linear range (R≥0. 995). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the method were 0. 773-1. 88 μg / L (S / N=3) and 2. 58-6. 27 μg / L (S / N=10), respectively. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations ( RSDs) of the mix standard solution were 0. 8% -1. 9% and 3. 3% -4. 9% , respectively. The spiked recoveries of the analytes were 84. 1% -105% and the RSDs of the spiked samples were 1. 0% -3. 1% . This proposed method was applied in the analysis of 35 samples from drinking water, source water and surface water, which indicated that the novel LC-MS / MS method could detect 5 aniline compounds in water without any complicated sample pretreatment in an accurate, sensitive and rapid way, and it also could provide technique support for evaluation of the contamination caused by aniline compounds.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the physiological and biochemical effects of intermittent fasting combined with hunger-resistant food on mice, and to evaluate the safety and beneficial effects of this regimen. METHODS: One hundred and forty-four adult ICR mice were divided into 4 groups: standard feed AL group (ad libitum intake of standard feed), hunger-resistant food AL group (ad libitum intake of hunger-resistant food), standard feed IF group (feeding standard feed and fasting on alternate days), and hunger-resistant food IF group (feeding hunger-resistant food and fasting on alternate days). The experiment lasted for 4-8 weeks and all mice drank water freely. The quality of life, body weight, fasting blood glucose, serum lipid, blood routine test, liver and kidney functions as well as the viscera indexes were examined. RESULTS: Compared to the standard feed AL group, the caloric taking and the increment of body-weight were reduced (P<0.01), and the viscera indexes of the liver and kidney were elevated (P<0.05) in the hunger-resistant food AL group and the hunger-resistant food IF group, the values of fasting blood glucose were reduced in standard feed IF group and hunger-resistant food IF group (P<0.01), the value of triglycerides was reduced in hunger-resistant food IF group (P<0.05), while the quality of life, blood routine test as well as the liver and kidney functions were not obviously affected in the hunger-resistant food AL group, standard feed IF group and hunger-resistant food IF group. CONCLUSION: The regimen of intermittent fasting combined with hunger-resistant food is safe and beneficial to metabolic regulation, such as controlling body-weight and adjusting blood glucose and serum lipid. It is expected that development of this regimen will be helpful to the control of obesity and diabetes, etc.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of different reduced caloric intake on mice transplanted with S180 ascitic tumor. METHODS: The institute for cancer research (ICR) mice were randomly divided into control group, 3.0 standard feed (SF) group, 2.0 SF group and 1.3 SF group. The mice in control group were fed enough (about 5 g/d) dietary intake, while the amounts of dietary intake in the latter three groups were scaled down in the proportion of 65%, which were 3.0 g, 2.0 g and 1.3 g standard feed respectively. Meanwhile the essential vitamins were added to the latter three groups to keep the amount of intake the same as that of the control's. RESULTS: For most of the mice, the caloric intake obviously prolonged the mean survival days and improved the life quality was 7.14 kcal/d, and the fasting blood glucose level was 2-3 mmol/L. CONCLUSION: Properly reduced caloric intake and keeping lower blood glucose level is beneficial to prolonging the survival time of mice transplanted with S180 ascitic cancer.

Objective :
To systematically evaluate the incidence of suicide ideation among HIV/AIDS patients in China, so as to provide insights into prevention of suicidal behaviors among HIV/AIDS patients.
Methods :
All publications pertaining to suicide ideation were jointly retrieved in electronic databases from database creation to May 22, 2022, including CNKI, CMB, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed and Web of Science. The quality of literatures was evaluated using the 11 quality indicators for cross-sectional studies recommended by the United States Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and a meta-analysis was performed using the software Stata 16.0. The stability of the study results was evaluated using sensitivity analysis, and the publication bias was evaluated using Begg's test.
Results :
A total of 1 557 publications were screened and 32 literatures covering 12 917 HIV/AIDS patients were included in the final analysis, including 21 Chinese publications and 11 English publications, and 19 high-quality publications and 13 moderate-quality publications. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of suicide ideation was 30.3% (95%CI: 23.2%-37.4%) among HIV/AIDS patients in China, and subgroup analysis showed higher incidence of suicide ideation in unemployed HIV/AIDS patients than in employed patients (P<0.05). Sensitivity analysis showed stable study results, and Begg's test revealed no significant publication bias.
Conclusions
The incidence of suicide ideation is 23.2% to 37.4% among HIV/AIDS patients in China. High attention paid to psychological health and early psychological interventions are required to prevent the development of suicide ideation.

OBJECTIVETo establish the differential templates of the skeletal profiles for Shanghainese with normal occlusion in early permanent dentition.
METHODS71 lateral cephalometric radiographs of subjects with normal occlusion in early permanent dentition, aged from 11 - 15 years (37 females and 34 males) were traced. 23 skeletal landmarks were identified on the tracings, which afterwards were scanned on the computer. An x-y coordinate system was established: the tracing superimposed on sella rotated 7 degrees down from the sella-nasion line as the x axis and the vertical line through sella perpendicular to the x axis as the y axis. A special length/depth ratio was designed. The length/depth ratio of each graph were calculated. Steiner analysis was applied to check the difference between genders.
RESULTSThere was no difference between genders. The tracings were divided into three categories: short face, normal face and long face according to the mean and standard deviation of the ratio. The three types of tracings were superimposed on the x axis with sella registered. Three templates were created.
CONCLUSIONSThe differences were apparent when the three templates were superimposed.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, and their combination on slow transit constipation via PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy. MethodFifty-six male SD rats were randomly assigned into normal group, model group, natural recovery group, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus group, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma group, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus combined with Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma group, and mosapride group, with 8 rats in each group. Slow transit constipation model was established by gavage with loperamide (3 mg·kg-1·d-1) for 14 days in other groups except the normal group. After successful modeling, except that the model group was continuously induced by loperamide, the normal group and the natural recovery group were administrated with 0.9% normal saline by gavage, and the rats in the Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (1.35 g·kg-1·d-1) group, the Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (2.7 g·kg-1·d-1) group, the Aurantii Fructus Immaturus combined with Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (4.05 g·kg-1·d-1) group, and the mosapride (1.56 mg·kg-1·d-1) group were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage for 7 days. The amount of feces, fecal water content, and intestinal propulsion rate of rats were determined. The pathological changes of the colon were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff (AB-PAS) staining. The activity of respiratory chain complex and the ultrastructure of the colon tissue were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry and observed by transmission electron microscopy, respectively. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) was employed to determine the mRNA levels of PINK1, Parkin, and p62, and Western blot to determine the protein levels of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), PINK1, and Parkin. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group and the natural recovery group showed decreases in the amount of feces, fecal water content, intestinal propulsion rate (P<0.05,P<0.01), and activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ in the colon tissue (P<0.05,P<0.01). Further, the mRNA levels of PINK1 and Parkin and the protein levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3 were up-regulated (P<0.01) and the mRNA level of p62 was down-regulated in the model group (P<0.05) and the natural recovery group. Compared with the model group and the natural recovery group, the Aurantii Fructus Immaturus combined with Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma group showed increased amount of feces, fecal water content, intestinal propulsion rate, and activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ (P<0.05,P<0.01). Moreover, the combination meliorated the degree of mitochondrial swelling in the colon tissue, down-regulated the mRNA levels of PINK1 and Parkin and the protein levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3 (P<0.05,P<0.01), and up-regulated the mRNA level of p62 (P<0.05). ConclusionAurantii Fructus Immaturus and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, and their combination may remedy the colonic motility disorders in rats with slow transit constipation by blocking PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway to inhibit the excessive mitophagy in interstitial cells of Cajal in the colon tissue.
