Objective To investigate the role and action mechanism of chemokine (C-X-C motif)receptor 3 (CXCR3)in hepatic ische-mia-reperfusion injury (IRI).Methods Forty-eight mice were divided into operation group and sham-operation group.The operation group was treated to establish a mouse model of IRI.Liver tissues were obtained at 3,6,12,and 24 h after IRI,with 6 mice at each time point.The expression of chemokine (C-X-C motif)ligand 9-1 1 (CXCL9-1 1 )and their receptor CXCR3 were measured by real-time PCR and Western blot.The effect of CXCR3 was blocked by its specific antagonist C6.Hepatic injury was estimated based on the activity of hepatic transaminase and morphological indices.The distribution of subsets of infiltrating T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.All data were expressed as mean ±standard deviation.Comparison between groups was made by one-way analysis of variance.Results Compared with the sham-operation group,the operation group had significantly upregulated expression of CXCL9-1 1 and CXCR3 at all time points after IRI (P<0.05).Blocking CXCR3 significantly protected liver function and morphology (P<0.05).Antagonist C6 significantly re-duced Th1 cell infiltration (P<0.01),but significantly increased Treg infiltration (P<0.01).Conclusion CXCR3 is an ideal therapeu-tic target in IRI treatment due to its relationship with immunoregulation.

Objectives To observe the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)for the treatment of patients with acute cerebral infarction combined with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS)and to investigate the influence of CPAP therapy on the recovery of neurological function in patients. Methods From April 2014 to September 2015,68 consecutive patients with acute cerebral infarction combined with OSAS admitted to the Department of Neurology,General Hospital of Wanbei Coal and Electricity Group were enrolled retrospectively. According to whether received the CPAP therapy,they were divided into an observation group (n = 31)and a control group (n = 37). The control group was treated with conventional therapy,and on the basis of the treatment plan of the control group,the observation group was also treated with CPAP therapy. They were all the patients with cerebral infarction who were treated for 14 d. The oxygen desaturation index (ODI),lowest oxygen saturation (LS a O2 ),oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL),and superoxide dismutase (SOD)concentration,National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)scores and Barthel index (BI)scores,and the modified Rankin scale (mRS)scores after 3 months before and after the therapy in the patients of both groups were documented. The total effective rate was assessed. Results (1)The ODI and LS a O2 in the observation group and the control group after treatment were better than those before treatment. There were significant differences between the 2 groups (ODI:16 ± 6% vs. 35 ± 21%,26 ± 15% vs. 36 ± 21 %;LS a O2:88 ± 6% vs. 75 ± 11%,80 ± 8% vs. 75 ± 11%;all P < 0. 05). (2)After treatment,ox-LDL of the observation group was lower than that of the control group. There was significant differences between the 2 groups (ox-LDL:487 ± 90 μg/ L vs. 548 ± 77 μg/ L,SOD:111 ± 10 kU/ L vs. 94 ± 15 kU/ L,all P < 0. 01). (3)After treatment,the NIHSS and BI scores of the observation group and the control group were better than those before treatment. There were significant differences (the NHISS scores:5. 2 ± 2. 2 vs. 12. 9 ± 3. 9;7. 6 ± 3. 1 vs. 12. 5 ± 4. 2;the BI scores:88 ± 10 vs. 52 ± 30;81 ± 4 vs. 58 ± 30;all P < 0. 01). The NIHSS and BI scores of observation group were better than those of the control group. There were significant differences (all P < 0. 01). They were followed up for 3 months,the mRS score (1. 3 ± 0. 4)of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (2. 0 ± 1. 1). There was significant difference between the 2 groups (t = 3. 362,P <0. 01). (4)The total effective rate of the observation group and control group was 74. 2% (23 / 31)and 48. 6% (18 / 37)respectively. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 4. 598,P <0. 05). Conclusion The CPAP therapy can alleviate the oxidative stress levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction combined with OSAS in short term and improve the neurological function of patients.
8. A novel experience of deferential vessel-sparing microsurgical vasoepididymostomy
Asian Journal of Andrology 2018;20(6):576-580
Microsurgical longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy (LIVE) has been widely used to treat epididymal obstructive azoospermia since 2004. Although the deferential vasculature plays an important role in supplying blood to the testis and epididymis, little attention has been paid to the potential benefits of sparing the deferential vessels during the anastomosis in LIVE. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of deferential vessel-sparing LIVE in humans. From December 2013 to December 2015, 69 azoospermic men with epididymal obstruction due to a genital infection, trauma, or idiopathic factors underwent deferential vessel-sparing LIVE in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China. The outcomes of these patients were analyzed retrospectively. The mean age was 31.1 years for men and 28.3 years for their partners. Fifty-nine (85.5%, 59/69) men were followed up after surgery for approximately 16 months. Patency was noted and confirmed by semen analysis (>10 000 sperm/ml) in 83.1% (49/59) of men. The natural pregnancy rate was 40.7% (24/59) by the end of the study, with 87.5% (21/24) of these natural pregnancies achieved within 12 months after surgery. No severe adverse events or complications were observed. In this study, we present a novel technique for sparing the deferential vessels during LIVE. The preliminary outcomes show this technique to be safe with favorable patency and pregnancy rates.
