Objective To investigate whether gut microbiome dysbiosis and translocation occurred in experimental uremia,and whether they consequently contribute to microinflammation.Methods Health male SD rats were randomly divided into uremic group and sham group.Uremic group were operated for 5/6 nephrectomy to establish uremic models,while sham group were only operated for nephrocapsulotomy.Postoperative blood,livers,spleens,and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) were subjected to bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA amplification to determine if bacteria were present.Bacterial genomic DNA samples from the MLNs and colon were amplified with specific primers designed by the 16SrRNA sequence of the species obtained from blood,livers and spleens.Pyrosequencing was used to analyze the ileum and colonic microbio.me of each subject.Intestinal permeability to 99mTc-DTPA,plasma hs-CRP,and IL-6 were measured.Results Bacterial DNA in extraiutestinal sites and altered colonic microbiomes at the phylum,family,and genus levels were detected in some rats in the uremic group.Bacterial genomic DNA in MLNs and colon were obtained by primers specific for bacterial species observed from blood,livers,and spleens of identical individuals.Intestinal permeability,plasma hs-CRP,and IL-6 levels were statistically higher in the uremic group compared with that in sham group(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Gut microbiome dysbiosis occurs and presumably bacteria translocate to the systemic and lymph circulation,thereby contributing to microinflammation in experimental uremia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect on ultrasound-guided vascular access-interventional therapy of hemodialysis in day surgery mode.Methods:Hemodialysis patients with vascular access dysfunction who underwent ultrasound-guided interventional therapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from September 1, 2018 to October 31, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and clinical data were collected by electronic medical record system and telephone follow-up. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the patency rate of vascular access.Results:A total of 421 cases of ultrasound-guided vascular access intervention were performed in 269 patients. The technical success rates of stenosis, chronic occlusion and acute occlusion lesion were 98.8%, 90.6% and 86.4%, respectively, and 406 cases (96.4%) of 246 patients were clinically successful. The postoperative brachial artery blood flow was 821(627, 1 029) ml/min, which was significantly higher than 309(202, 453) ml/min before the operation ( Z=-13.547, P<0.001). No serious complications occurred during and after the operation. At 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after operation, the primary patency rate was 74%, 59%, 48% and 45%, respectively, the assisted primary patency rate was 94%, 91%, 88% and 82%, and the secondary patency rate was 96%, 93%, 91% and 86%. Compared with the conventional inpatient surgery mode, the total cost of the day surgery mode was significantly reduced [12 067(10 051, 13 198) yuan vs 14 986(12 411, 20 643) yuan, Z=-13.185, P<0.001], and the hospital stay was significantly shortened [5.1(3.5, 6.9) h vs 73.4(31.6, 146.6) h, Z=-13.348, P<0.001]. Conclusion:It is safe and effective to perform interventional therapy for vascular access malfunction under ultrasound in day surgery mode, which can save cost and time of hospitalization, and can be carried out in hospitals with relevant conditions.

Surgical operation is the main treatment method for pancreatic cancer, and in clinical practice, radical surgery for pancreatic cancer is often combined with superior mesenteric-portal vein confluence pancreaticoduodenectomy to achieve R0 resection. However, severe left-sided portal hypertension (LSPH) may occur after splenic vein dissection, resulting in a series of pathological changes such as congestive splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, backflow obstruction of splenic vein, and gastrointestinal varices, and in some cases, it can lead to fatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage and hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, in order to better manage LSPH in clinical practice, this article systematically analyzes and reviews the pathogenesis, treatment regimens, and control strategies of LSPH after combined superior mesenteric-portal vein confluence pancreaticoduodenectomy and put forward corresponding suggestions based on current studies.

【Objective】 To explore the mechanism of macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) and microinflammatory state in uremia. 【Methods】 SD rats were randomly divided into uremia group and sham operation group. The morphology and permeability of intestinal tissue, the morphology of intestinal tissue and macrophages were observed by transmission electron microscope, the expression of Mincle was detected in intestinal tissue sections, and the expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) and NF-kappa B (NF-κB) protein on the surface of macrophages were detected by Western blotting. After the plasma was separated, the levels of endotoxin, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleulin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by Limulus lysate dynamic turbidimetric assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS19.0 software. 【Results】 The expression of Mincle in the jejunum, ileum, and colon in uremia group was higher than that in sham-operation group (P<0.05). The expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB protein significantly differed in the ileum, jejunum and colon in uremia group (P<0.001). The levels of endotoxin, CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly increased in uremia group compared with sham-operation group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 In uremia, Mincle on the surface of intestinal macrophages increases and further through TLR4/NF-κB pathway mediates the transformation of intestinal macrophages to M1 type, releasing inflammatory products and causing systemic microinflammation.
