ObjectiveTo explore the effects of hemofiltration on serum enzyme (SE),endotoxin (ET) and malonaldehyde (MDA) of dogs with heat stroke caused shock.MethodsSixteen healthy male hybrid dogs were randomly divided into 2 groups,8 for each:as heat stroke group (HS group ) and hemofiltration group (HF group).Severe heat stroke model was induced with high temperature.The dogs were taken out of the heating cabin when it reached heat stroke level,and then observed under normal temperature without treatment.The dogs in HF group was immediately treated with hemofiltration.The changes of SE,ET,MDA of two groups of dogs were observed and the survival time between two groups was compared,ResultsThe time from heat exposure to shock was ( 107.00 ± 28.52 ) and ( 111.38 ± 22.24 )minutes in HS group and HF group respectively ( t =- 0.354,P =0.729 ).The SE ( CK,LDH,ALT,AST) of the dogs were all higher after heat stroke,and the dogs of two groups showed no siginificant difference (P > 0.05).At three hours after heat stroke,the SE increased apparently in HS group and HF group,but the level was significantly lower in HF group. Before heat stroke,the serum ET showed no siginificant difference between two groups ( P > 0.05 ).After heat stroke,the serm ET was much higher than before ( P <0.01 ),but there was still no siginificant difference between two groups ( P >0.05 ).At three hours after heat stroke,the ET increased both in HF group and HS group,but the level was lower in HF group.Before heat stroke,the serm MDA had no siginificant difference between two groups ( P > 0.05 ).After heat stroke,the serm MDA was much higher than before ( P < 0.0l ),but there was still no siginificant difference between two groups (P > 0.05 ).After heat stroke in three hours,the MDA of HS group rose apparently while HF group slowly declined.The median survival time of HF group was 180 min while HS group was 75 min,the survival rate showed siginificant difference (P < 0.01 ).Conc4usions HF can improve the prognosis of dogs with heat stroke caused shock,prolong its survival time,reduce mortality.The mechanism is probably that HF clear serum MDA,partially clear serum ET and then eventually reduce cell and tissue injury and reduce SE.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of intrahepatic and extrahepatic organ failure at the onset of acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF), to explore the features of a new clinical classification system of ACLF, and to provide a basis for the diagnosis, treatment, prognostic analysis of the disease. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of the patients who were hospitalized Beijing YouAn Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2015 to October 2022 and were diagnosed with ACLF for the first time. According to the conditions of intrahepatic and extrahepatic organ failure at disease onset, they were classified into type Ⅰ ACLF and type Ⅱ ACLF. Type Ⅰ ACLF referred to liver failure on the basis of chronic liver diseases, and type Ⅱ ACLF referred to acute decompensation of chronic liver diseases combined with multiple organ failure. The clinical features of patients with type Ⅰ or type Ⅱ ACLF were analyzed, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the value of MELD, MELD-Na, and CLIF-C ACLF scoring system in predicting the 90-day prognosis of ACLF patients with type Ⅰ or type Ⅱ ACLF. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsA total of 582 patients with ACLF were enrolled, among whom there were 535 patients with type Ⅰ ACLF and 47 patients with type Ⅱ ACLF. Hepatitis B and alcoholic liver disease were the main causes in both groups, with no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Chronic non-cirrhotic liver disease (28.2%) and compensated liver cirrhosis (56.8%) were the main underlying liver diseases in type Ⅰ ACLF, while compensated liver cirrhosis (34.0%) and decompensated liver cirrhosis (61.7%) were the main underlying liver diseases in type Ⅱ ACLF, and there was no significant difference in underlying liver diseases between the patients with type Ⅰ ACLF and those with type Ⅱ ACLF (P<0.001). The patients with type Ⅱ ACLF had significantly higher median MELD score, MELD-Na score, and CLIF-C ACLF score than those with type Ⅰ ACLF (all P<0.001). The patients with type Ⅱ ACLF had significantly higher 28- and 90-day mortality rates than those with type Ⅰ ACLF (38.3%/53.2% vs 15.5%/27.5%, P<0.001). For the patients with type Ⅰ ACLF who did not progress to multiple organ failure, the patients with an increase in MELD score accounted for 63.7% in the death group and 10.1% in the survival group (P<0.001), while for the patients with type Ⅰ ACLF who progressed to multiple organ failure, there was no significant difference in the change in MELD score between the survival group and the death group (P>0.05). In the patients with type Ⅰ ACLF, MELD score, MELD-Na score, and CLIF-C ACLF score had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.735, 0.737, and 0.740, respectively, with no significant difference between any two scores (all P>0.05). In the patients with type Ⅱ ACLF, CLIF-C ACLF score had a significantly higher AUC than MELD score (0.880 vs 0.560, P<0.01) and MELD-Na score (0.880 vs 0.513, P<0.01). ConclusionThere are differences in underlying liver diseases, clinical features, and prognosis between type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ ACLF, and different prognosis scoring systems have different emphases, which provide a basis for the new clinical classification system of ACLF from the perspective of evidence-based medicine.

Malfunction of the ventral subiculum (vSub), the main subregion controlling the output connections from the hippocampus, is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD). Although the vSub receives cholinergic innervation from the medial septum and diagonal band of Broca (MSDB), whether and how the MSDB-to-vSub cholinergic circuit is involved in MDD is elusive. Here, we found that chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) induced depression-like behaviors with hyperactivation of vSub neurons, measured by c-fos staining and whole-cell patch-clamp recording. By retrograde and anterograde tracing, we confirmed the dense MSDB cholinergic innervation of the vSub. In addition, transient restraint stress in CUMS increased the level of ACh in the vSub. Furthermore, chemogenetic stimulation of this MSDB-vSub innervation in ChAT-Cre mice induced hyperactivation of vSub pyramidal neurons along with depression-like behaviors; and local infusion of atropine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, into the vSub attenuated the depression-like behaviors induced by chemogenetic stimulation of this pathway and CUMS. Together, these findings suggest that activating the MSDB-vSub cholinergic pathway induces hyperactivation of vSub pyramidal neurons and depression-like behaviors, revealing a novel circuit underlying vSub pyramidal neuronal hyperactivation and its associated depression.
