ObjectiveTo explore sensitivities and specificities of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 ( NRS 2002),Subjective Global Assessment (SGA),and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) in the detection of blood prealbumin level.MethodsTotal 126 patients were consecutively enrolled from the oncology departments of three hospitals from November,2010 to March,2011.Nutritional screenings or assessments were performed on the next morning of hospital admission by nutritionists and medical oncologists using NRS 2002,SGA,and MNA.Prealbumin ( < 180 g/L) was used as the reference standard of malnutrition (undernutrition) for assessing the sensitivities/specificities of these tools.ResultsAll 126 patients completed nutritional screening or assessment using the above three tools.The prevalence of malnutrition (undernutrition) determined by NRS 2002,SGA and MNA was 67.0%,46.2%,and 64.8%,respectively.With prealbumin in relation to clinical outcome as the reference standard,the sensitivities ofNRS 2002,SGA,and MNA were 78.2%,58.2% and 89.1%,and the specificities were 50.0%,72.2%,and 27.8%,respectively.ConclusionsAmong these three tolls,NRS 2002 detects the nutrition risks,whereas SGA and MNA detect malnutrition.Since prealbumin is not an appropriate reference standard,it can not be used for the comparison among the three tools.Nevertheless,NRS 2002 reflects the clinical outcomes,and therefore is suitable for inpatients.

Objectives:To investigate the effect of body mass index(BMI)on perioperative and long-term prognosis of patients with severe aortic stenosis(AS)after transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR). Methods:This retrospective study imcluded 180 patients with severe AS who received TAVR in Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2019 to January 2022.According to the BMI,patients were divided into four groups:low weight group(BMI<18.5 kg/m2,n=23),normal weight group(18.5 kg/m2≤BMI<24.0 kg/m2,n=65),overweight group(24.0 kg/m2≤BMI<28.0 kg/m2,n=57),obesity group(BMI≥28.0 kg/m2,n=35).The general clinical characteristics,imaging parameters,perioperative indexes,all-cause death and the incidence of other adverse cardiac events during(18.0±6.8)months follow-up were compared among different groups.Risk factors for the perioperative complications and long-term outcomes of TAVR were evaluated. Results:The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter,ventricular septal thickness and left ventricular posterior wall thickness were significantly higher in the obese group than in normal weight group(all P<0.05).The level of prealbumin in low weight group was lower than in normal weight group(P<0.05).The total perioperative complications in low weight group were higher than in normal weight group(60.9%vs.12.3%,P=0.042).During(18.0±6.8)months follow-up,the incidence of all-cause death in the low weight group was significantly higher than that in normal weight group,overweight group and obese group(17.4%vs.4.6%vs.3.5%vs.5.7%,P=0.003).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis evidenced higher mortality rate in low weight group at 18 months after TAVR(log-rank P<0.01).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of long-term adverse cardiovascular events was significantly higher in low weight group than in normal weight group(HR=7.633,95%CI:1.012-57.564,P=0.049). Conclusions:Low weight patients with severe AS have a higher incidence of perioperative complications and a poor long-term prognosis.Such patients should appropriately strengthen their nutritional intake and adjust their body weight to normal levels before performing TAVR.

Objective:To identify the differentially expressed proteins that caused hippocampal damage after liver ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods:Eighteen clean-grade healthy juvenile male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2 weeks, weighing 20-30 g, were divided into 2 groups ( n=9 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group) and liver I/R group (IR group). A rat model of liver I/R injury was prepared by restoring perfusion after 1 h of liver ischemia. The rats were sacrificed after being anesthetized at day 3 of reperfusion, and the hippocampal tissue was isolated and analyzed to obtain gene expression profiles. Differentially expressed genes were identified using the R software, and further protein interaction networks were constructed through Cytoscape and Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes and Genomes pathway analysis to determine the differentially expressed proteins. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used for validation. Results:A total of 45 differentially expressed proteins were identified by the proteomic analysis of hippocampal tissues, including 36 significantly up-regulated proteins and 9 significantly down-regulated proteins. The proteins with significant expression related to injury were identified from the PPI network complex using the CytoHubBA plug-in cystscape: Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate (RAC2), HRAS, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase inhibitor phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN), and N-methyl-D-aspartate ionotropic glutamate receptor 2b (GRIN2b). The results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot showed that the expression of RAC2, HRAS, PTEN, and GRIN2b in the hippocampal tissue was significantly up-regulated in IR group compared with S group ( P<0.05). The results of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that differentially expressed proteins were significantly enriched in the expression of PD-L1 and its checkpoint pathway, long-term potentiation, and regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway in cancer. Conclusions:The mechanism by which liver I/R induces hippocampal injury may be related to the up-regulation of the expression of RAC2, HRAS, PTEN and GRIN2b in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) heavy chain on neuron regeneration. Methods Cell culture, rats, immunofluorescence, SDS-PAGE and western blot, etc. were adopted in this study to explore the alterations of histone-3 acetylation (acetyl-H3 ) by local treatment of BoNT/A heavy chain to spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats (in vivo) or by adding it into cell culture (in vitro). Meanwhile, the relevance of acetyl-H3 to neurite out-growth based on SCI and cell culture with BoNT/A heavy chain application was approached as well. Results The application of BoNT/A heavy chain to cultured Neuro-2a cells increased the level of H3 acetylation. The increase of H3 acetylation was paralleled with the growth of neuritogenesis. Also, the neuronal treatment of BoNT/A heavy chain to SCI promoted the re-growth of neuronal processes surrounding the lesions. The growth of neuronal processes was positively correlated to the level of H3 acetylation. During the periods of BoNT/A heavy chain treatment in vivo or in vitro, the increase of H3 acetylation showed two peaks. Conclusions BoNT/A heavy chain increased the H3 acetylation, which might be one of its neuritogenic mechanisms.
