Objective:To investigate the feasibility, safety and reasonable operation of nasointestinal canal indwelling guided by miniature system in severe neurosurgery patients, and compare its advantages and disadvantages with traditional blind insertion.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial design was used to select 128 critically ill patients in need of enteral nutrition support at the Department of Neurosurgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2022 to October 2023 by convenient sampling method. They were divided into blind insertion group and visualization group by random number table method, with 64 cases in each group. Nasointestinal canal indwelling was performed in the blind insertion group by traditional blind insertion method, and in the visualization group, nasointestinal canal indwelling was performed by indentations guided by the miniature visualization system. The success rate of initial catheterization, the time of catheterization, complications, changes of vital signs during catheterization and changes of nutritional indexes after catheterization were evaluated in 2 groups.Results:In the blind insertion group, there were 35 males and 29 females, aged (59.44 ± 13.84) years old. In the visualization group, there were 41 males and 23 females, aged (58.28 ± 12.08) years old. The success rate of the first catheter placement in the visual group was 96.8% (62/64), higher than that in the blind group 82.8% (53/64), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.94, P<0.05). The catheter placement time of the visualization group was (20.08 ± 2.69) min, which was shorter than that of the blind insertion group (38.19 ± 3.79) min, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=29.99, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications, changes of vital signs during catheterization and the changes of nutritional indexes after catheterization between two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with traditional blind nasointestinal canal indwelling, nasointestinal canal indwelling guided by the miniature visualization system can improve the success rate of the first catheterization and shorten the catheterization time. Although there is no difference in the complication rate, changes in vital signs during catheterization and changes in nutritional indexes after catheterization, it is believed that with the continuous development and upgrading of this technology, it will further reflect the advantages of this technology, which is worthy of further clinical trials and application.

OBJECTIVE To explore the protective effect of marein against alcoholic fatty liver （AFL） and its potential mechanisms. METHODS AFL mice model was established with strong wine by gavage. The mice were randomly divided into normal control group （n＝9， 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution）， model group （n＝10， 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution） and marein 75 and 150 mg/kg groups （n＝9）. Mice were given relevant medicine intragastrically， once a day， for consecutive 30 days. After the last medication， the levels of triglyceride （TG）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， and superoxide dismutase （SOD） in liver tissue were determined， and hepatic histopathological changes of liver tissue were observed； the protein expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α （PPARα）， carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 （CPT-1）， and diacylglycerol acyltransferase （DGAT） were determined in liver tissue. BRL hepatocytes injury model was induced by ethanol combined with ferrous sulfate and oleic acid； after treatment with 3， 6 and 12 μmol/L of marein for 24 h， the distribution of lipid droplets， the levels of TG， MDA and SOD and protein expressions of PPARα， CPT-1 and DGAT in hepatocytes were examined. After pretreatment with MK886 （PPARα inhibitor， 10 μmol/L），modeled hepatocytes were treated with 12 μmol/L of marein for 24 h， and the protein expressions of PPARα， CPT-1 and DGAT were determined. RESULTS As the results showed in vivo， compared with the model group， after treatment with 75 and 150 mg/kg of marein， the degree of steatosis was significantly reduced， and the levels of TG and MDA and protein expression of DGAT were significantly decreased（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the levels of SOD， protein expressions of PPARα and CPT-1 were significantly increased（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. As the results showed in vitro， after treatment with 3， 6 and 12 μmol/L of marein， the lipid accumulation of hepatocytes was significantly inhibited， and the levels of TG and MDA， protein expression of DGAT were significantly decreased（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， while the levels of SOD， protein expressions of PPARα and CPT-1 were significantly increased（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After MK886 pretreatment， the effects of marein on the above protein expressions were abolished. CONCLUSIONS Marein might exert a protective effect against AFL. The mechanisms might be related to inhibiting oxidative stress-mediated injury and improving PPARα-mediated lipid metabolism signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic relationship between serum KL-6 level and rheumatoid arthritis(RA)combined with interstitial lung disease(RA-ILD).Methods:In Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January 2018 to January 2021,seventy patients with RA were selected and divided into RA-ILD group(34 cases)and RA(36 cases)accord-ing to whether they were complicated with ILD,clinicopathological characteristics of the two groups of patients were analyzed by uni-variate analysis,focusing on the comparison of the expression level of KL-6 in the serum of the two groups and the correlation analysis with laboratory indexes,lung function and imaging,multivariate Logistic regression analysis risk factors affecting RA-ILD.Results:There were significant differences in gender,smoking history,age,age of onset,course of disease,DAS28,KL-6,WBC,UA,RF,anti-CCP antibody,TLC%Pred and DLCO%Pred between the two groups(P<0.05).In RA-ILD group,the proportion of clinical symp-toms was more prominent,joint pain was more prominent,and the thickening of pleural adhesion was more prominent on HRCT;Spearson correlation analysis showed that the level of serum KL-6 in RA-ILD group was significantly negatively correlated with TLC%Pred,VC%Pred and DLCO%Pred(P<0.05);there was a significant positive correlation with RF and anti-CCP antibody levels(P<0.05);there was no significant correlation with FEV1%Pred and FEV1/FVC(P>0.05);expression level of KL-6 in RA-ILD group was significantly higher than that in RA group before treatment,and there was no significant difference after treatment(P>0.05);Fol-lowed up for one year,six patients died in RA-ILD group.The expression level of KL-6 in death group was significantly higher than that in non death group(P<0.05);multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that old age,male,smoking,increased anti CCP antibody and KL-6 were independent risk factors for RA-ILD(P<0.05);the maximum area under the ROC curve predicted by serum KL-6 was 0.802,the 95%CI was 0.743～0.866,the sensitivity was 0.853,the specificity was 0.827,and the maximum area under the ROC curve detected jointly was 0.854,indicating that the prediction ability of the model was strong.Conclusion:Serum KL-6 levels in RA-ILD patients are significantly increased.KL-6 can be used as a serological index for early detection of ILD,and combined with lung function detection can detect ILD earlier.Early diagnosis is of great significance for treatment and prognosis.

Objective:To compare the application effects of electric impedance tomography (EIT)-guided positive end-expiratory pressure conventional PEEP and PEEP-fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2) table-guided PEEP in the mechanical ventilation of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on the clinical data of 80 TBI patients complicated with ARDS admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from July 2020 to December 2022, including 42 males and 38 females, aged 29-59 years [(42.4±7.8)years]. The Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores were 3-12 points [(7.7±2.2)points]. According to ARDS classification, 33 were mild, 26 moderate and 21 severe. All the patients were treated with mechanical ventilation according to lung protective ventilation strategy, including 42 patients treated with EIT-guided PEEP (EIT group) and 38 treated with conventional PEEP-FiO 2 table-guided PEEP (conventional group). At 12 hours, 1, 3 and 5 days after ventilation, the optimal PEEP, respiratory mechanics [driving pressure (ΔP), static compliance (C St), mechanical power (MP)], pulmonary gas exchange [arterial blood pH value, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), oxygenation index (P/F)], ventilation distribution [heterogeneity index (GI), regions of interest (ROI)1-4], hemodynamics [heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP), mean arterial pressure (MAP)], cerebral perfusion status [intracranial pressure (ICP), regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO 2) grading], and treatment outcomes (mechanical ventilation duration, incidence of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), length of ICU stay, 6-month survival rate) separately at their optimal PEEP were compared between the two groups. Results:All the patients were followed up for 6 months. The optimal PEEP of the EIT group was (7.4±1.0)cm, (8.2±1.2)cm, (9.8±0.8)cm and (8.4±0.7)cm respectively at 12 hours, 1, 3 and 5 days after mechanical ventilation, which were higher than (7.0±1.0)cm, (7.6±1.0)cm, (9.0±0.6)cm and (7.2±0.5)cm of the conventional group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At their optimal PEEP separately, at 12 hours, 1, 3 and 5 days after treatment, the ΔP of the EIT group was (7.1±1.3)cmH 2O, (7.7±1.3)cmH 2O, (9.5±1.1)cmH 2O and (6.1±1.3)cmH 2O respectively, which were all lower than (8.9±1.3)cmH 2O, (10.5±1.3)cmH 2O, (11.2±1.2)cmH 2O and (8.7±1.2)cmH 2O of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the C St of the EIT group was (51.5±4.2)ml/cmH 2O, (52.9±4.6)ml/cmH 2O, (55.1±4.3)ml/cmH 2O and (57.5±3.6)ml/cmH 2O, which were all higher than (46.8±3.9)ml/cmH 2O, (47.6±4.4)ml/cmH 2O, (49.9±4.3)ml/cmH 2O and (53.3±3.6)ml/cmH 2O of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05); the MP of the EIT group was (7.9±1.8)J/min, (8.8±1.3)J/min, (10.6±1.3)J/min and (7.8±0.9)J/min, which were lower than (8.6±1.5)J/min, (9.5±1.0)J/min, (12.2±1.8)J/min and (8.6±0.9)J/min of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the P/F of the EIT group was (207.1±7.1)mmHg, (213.1±6.9)mmHg, (239.3±13.1)mmHg and (255.5±11.8)mmHg, which were all higher than (179.6±7.2)mmHg, (187.8±9.6)mmHg, (212.8±9.6)mmHg and (228.1±12.3)mmHg of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the GI of the EIT group were 0.381±0.013, 0.387±0.012, 0.392±0.010 and 0.395±0.010, lower than 0.403±0.005, 0.406±0.005, 0.409±0.005 and 0.411±0.004 of traditional group respectively ( P<0.01); there were no significant differences in the arterial blood pH value, PaCO 2, ROI1-4, HR, CVP, MAP, ICP, or rScO 2 grading between the two groups (P>0.05). The ventilation duration of the EIT group was (78.5±9.0)hours, which was shorter than (83.1±7.4)hours of the conventional group ( P<0.05). The incidence of VILI was 0.0% (0/42) in the EIT group, which was lower than 7.8% (3/38) in the conventional group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the ICU stay or 6-month survival rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In mechanical ventilation treatment of TBI complicated with ARDS, the optimal PEEP guided by EIT was higher than that guided by PEEP-FiO 2 table. At this optimal PEEP, the respiratory mechanics and oxygen supply of the patients can be improved more effectively, making regional lung ventilation more uniform, reducing the mechanical ventilation time and decreasing the incidence of VILI without affecting their hemodynamics and brain perfusion.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features, treatment, and outcomes of fetal/neonatal atrial flutter (AFL) at the onset of the perinatal period to improve the management of this condition.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data, treatment, and follow-up results of fetal/neonatal AFL cases transferred to Shanghai Children's Medical Center from November 2013 to August 2021. Clinical characteristics, cardioversion procedures, and outcomes were summarized. Descriptive method was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 21 fetuses/neonates presenting with AFL in the perinatal period were involved in this study, including 17 males and four females. Ten of them were born at full term, and 11 were preterms. All of the patients were delivered by cesarean section at 32 to 41 gestational weeks [ (36.6±1.9) weeks] with a birth weight of 2 130 to 4 450g [ (3 059±528) g]. Increased fetal heart rate was all detected after 32 weeks of gestation, and three of them were diagnosed with AFL by fetal echocardiography before being born. The heart rate remained elevated in all cases after birth. All were diagnosed as AFL based on an electrocardiogram on the day of birth, which showed a 2 to 6 over one ratio of atrioventricular conduction. Among the six cases of cardiac insufficiency and low blood pressure complicated by dyspnea and cyanosis, the symptoms were relieved in four cases after mask oxygenation and two cases after ventilation. Among the 21 cases, one was converted spontaneously to normal sinus rhythm and the other 20 recovered after medication or electrical cardioversion. Seven cases were initially treated by drug conversion with a success rate of 5/7 and hospitalized for 23 d (13-25 d). There was one with cardiac insufficiency before treatment and three newly developed cardiac insufficiency during treatment among the seven cases. Thirteen cases were offered electrical cardioversion initially, and the success rate of cardioversion was 12/13. There were five cases of cardiac insufficiency before treatment, while no new cases of cardiac insufficiency was reported during treatment. The duration of hospitalization was 11 d (9-14 d). Apart from one case, the rest 20 infants were followed up from one month to eight years old, and no recurrence was reported.Conclusions:For fetal/neonatal AFL with the onset during the perinatal period, the symptoms mainly manifest in late pregnancy. Its diagnosis depends on fetal echocardiography before birth or electrocardiogram after birth, and electrical cardioversion is a fast and effective measure. While the prognosis of perinatal-onset AFL is generally good.

Objective To observe the application effect of visual nasoenteric catheterization in severe neurosurgical patients.Methods A total of 107 patients who received nasoenteric tube im-plantation in the neurosurgical intensive care unit(ICU)were selected.According to the nasoenteric tube implantation method,they were divided into visual group(underwent nasoenteric tube implantation by visual technique,n=53)and blind group(inserted by traditional blind insertion,n=54).The success rate of first catheterization,catheterization time and complication rate were observed and com-pared.Results The success rate of first catheter placement in the visual group was higher than that in the blind group(96.23％versus 81.48％,P＜0.05).The catheter placement time in the visual group was(20.11±2.47)min,which was shorter than(38.00±3.59)min that in the blind group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in complication rate(nose bleeding,gastrointestinal bleed-ing,catheter straying into the airway)between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Visual naso-enteric catheterization has a higher success rate in the first catheterization and shorter catheterization time in severe neurosurgical patients,and it is a safer method.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and track probable imported sources of the local dengue outbreak in Zhangzhou city, Fujian province, 2019.Methods:Serum samples of patients with suspected dengue fever at acute phases were collected for virus detecting and serotyping by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. For the positive specimens of local cases, full-length fragments of E gene were amplified by RT-PCR, and were sequenced and analyzed.Result:In 2019, there were 98 local cases of dengue fever in Zhangzhou city, which were concentrated in Zhao’an county, Longhai district and Yunxiao county. In this study, fourteen dengue virus E gene sequences representing different sources in different districts and counties were selected. The amino acid sequence virulence site analysis showed that the local epidemic strains were relatively virulent strains. The gene sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis showed that all the local strains were classified as DENV-I subgenotype genotype I, divided into a, b and c three different branches. The evolutionary branch a contained all Zhao’an and Longhai sequences and was divided into three sub-branches, the b and c evolutionary branches were both the sequences of Yunxiao. There was a high correlation between the Shenqiao Town in Zhao’an and the Haicheng Town in Longhai. The other areas of the strains were limited to the towns, and the evolutionary branches were close to the other areas in China and countries in Southeast Asia.Conclusions:The indigenous dengue outbreaks in Zhangzhou, 2019 were caused by multiple sources of introduction and originated from other areas in China or from Southeast Asian countries and there was also the possibility of local cross-county transmission.
