BACKGROUND:C-reactive protein has been shown to rapidly increase during the occurrence of inflammation and tissue injury, and can indicate the degree of inflammatory reaction.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation between survival time and C-reactive protein in rabbits after transplantation of polytetrafluoroethene artificial trachea with support ring.
METHODS:The cervical trachea of rabbits was replaced by polytetrafluoroethene artificial trachea with support ring. Survival time of the rabbit, and the changes in serum C-reactive protein at 1-7 days after transplantation were observed. Linear regression was used to assess the univariate association between serum C-reactive protein and survival time.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The linear correlation was observed between changes of serum C-reactive protein and survival time in rabbits with artificial trachea replacement operation. C-reactive protein levels in rabbits with<13 days of survival time were increased and positively associated with the number of days after transplantation. However, C-reactive protein levels in rabbits with>13 days were decreased and negatively associated with the number of days after transplantation. In rabbits with positive correlation and negative correlation, the median survival time and 95%confidence interval (CI) were respectively 10 days (95%CI 8.614-11.386 days) and 27 days (95%CI 23.970-30.030 days). The survival rate in negative correlation group was significantly higher than positive correlation group (x2=29.364, P<0.01). Results suggested that the prolonged survival time of rabbits after artificial trachea replacement operation was related to the decreased concentration of serum C-reactive protein.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies of our research group have confirmed that the texture of porcine reticular dermis at lateral ventral part is softer and has more extensibility than other parts. Therefore, it may serve as the raw material of xenogenic aceluar dermal matrix. However, its comparison with human and rat reticular dermis has not been reported systematicaly in aspects of histomorphology and material characterization. OBJECTIVE:To compare the reticular dermis from the lateral region of porcine abdomen and rat dorsal part with the reticular dermis from human in histology, biomechanics, molecular structure, thermal stability and other properties. METHODS:The reticular dermis samples were taken from adult human, the lateral region of porcine abdomen, the back of rats, for gross observation. Paraffin sections were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and sirius red staining under a light microscopy. The relevant data of micrograph were measured by imagine analysis software. These samples were also vacuum-freezing dried and rehydrated, and then their mechanical properties were tested with a electronic tensile machine to calculate the Young’s modulus. Some vacuum-freezing dried samples were powdered and detected by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and simultaneous thermal analyzer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no differences in colagen fiber bundle diameter of the reticular dermis from adult human and the lateral region of porcine abdomen, but the reticular dermis from the back of rats was thinner than that from adult human (P < 0.01). The gap between the reticular layer of the dermis of the lateral region of porcine abdomen was lower than that from adult human (P < 0.0.1); however, there was no difference in the gap between the reticular layers of the dermis of the rat back and adult human (P=0.17). Colagen fibers of porcine reticular dermis were arranged tightly in disorder; the content of type I colagen and ratio of type I/III colagen were higher than those in the reticular dermis from adult human (P < 0.05), but the content of type III colagen was less than that in the reticular dermis from adult human (P < 0.05). Contents of type I and III colagen and their ratio were similar between the reticular dermis of rats and adult human (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the Young’s modulus of the three kinds of reticular dermises. Hydrogen bonds involved in the reticular dermal colagen molecules ranged as folows: rats > swine > human. Rat reticular dermis has better thermal stability than that of swine and adult human.

Two kinds of β2-agonistresidues in sheep plasma and urine were disposed by enzymolysis and organic solvent extraction pretreatment methods, and UPLC-MS/MS was used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis. Detection results were compared to study the influences of two pretreatment methods. The experimental results showed that more than 95% of Ractopamine and 40% of Salbutamol exist in the conjugated form in sheep plasma. The detection results of 2 kinds of β2-agonist residues were significantly enhanced when adding β-glucuronidase/aryl sulfatase. The experimental repeatability is very poor ( RSD>40%) when the enzymolysis was not carried out. There were 57% of Ractopamine and less than 1% of Salbutamol exists in the conjugated form in sheep urine. Enzymolysis pretreatment method was useful for the Ractopamine residues determination in urine, and Enzymolysis pretreatment method was useless for Salbutamol determination in urine. Matrix effect of plasma was less than the effects of urine. The influence of organic solvent extraction pretreatment method on the detection results was unremarkable, and there was the possibility that organic solvent extraction could lead partial loss of target compound in extraction process. However, it did not influence the detection results by using internal standard calibration.

Objective To explore the efficacy of ultra-early stent-assisted coil (SAC) in the treatment of intracranial rupture of wide- necked aneurysms. Methods The angiographic and clinical data of 24 patients (including 8 male, 16 female, age ranged from 29 to 86 years, with a median age 59) with acutely ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms treated with SAC were retrospectively analyzed. The postoperative complications and clinical results were observed. The postoperative embolization was assessed according to the Raymond grading standard. The assessment of the follow-up results from 6 to 12 months after procedure was observed according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. Results Procedure-related complications occurred in 3 patients (12.5%). All of them were hemorrhagic events, of which 2 cases died. Perioperative death was found in 3 cases. Of the 19 surviving patients, 17 showed good recovery (mRS 0-2). After 6 to 12 months of DSA, no recurrence of aneurysm was found in 10 follow-up patients. Conclusion Ultra-early stent-assisted coil treatment for intracranial wide-neck rupture aneurysm can improve the success rate of embolization and reduce the recurrence.
