Objective To explore the risk factors of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. Methods The clinic data of 1341 patients with colorectal cancer who had been admitted to our department from January 1989 to December 2004 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The incidence of the liver metastasis from colorectal cancer was 11.56% (155/1341). Univariate analysis showed that sex, location and size of the primary tumor site, regional lymph node metastasis, infiltration depth of the bowel wall, involvement of the adjacent viscera, complications and peritoneal implantation were relevant to liver metastasis (X2=6.517, 10.208, 11.173, 42.160, 80.731,6.593, 3.887, 14.352, P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that sex, regional lymph node metastasis, infiltration depth of the bowel wall, complications and primary tumor site were correlated with liver metastasis ( b = 0.655, -0.488, 1.355, -0.752, 0.273, P <0.05). Conclusions Male patients, patients with regional lymph node metastasis or with involvement of tissues out of the serosa have higher chance of liver metastasis from coloreetal cancer. Patients with colon cancer are apt to develop liver metastasis than those with rectal cancer. The incidence of liver metastasis in colorectal cancer patients complicated with other diseases is low.

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that the combined use of sufentanil and neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation can increase the number of newborn nerve fibers.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of sufentanil on the hind limb function of rats with spinal cord injury after neural stem cell transplantation.METHODS: (1) Eighty adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were used to build spine cord injury model according to the modified Allen's method and divided into model group, sufentanil group, NSCs transplantation group and sufentanil combined with NSCs transplantation group (combined group). Extra 20 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were not conducted any treatment as normal control group. (2) After 6 days of modeling, the model rats were subjected to subarachnoid injection of 10 μL of NSC culture medium and intraperitoneal injection of 100 μL of saline in the model group; subarachnoid injection of 10 μL of NSC culture medium and intraperitoneal injection of 100 μL of sufentanil (150 μg/kg) in the sufentanil group; subarachnoid injection of 10 μL of 1×1010/L NSCs suspension and intraperitoneal injection of 100 μL of saline in the NSCs transplantation group; and subarachnoid injection of 10 μL of 1×1010/L NSCs suspension and intraperitoneal injection of 100 μL of sufentanil (150 μg/kg) in the combined group. (3) After 72 hours of modeling, the AQP4 and MMP9 gene expression levels were detected by RT-PCR, and the cell apoptosis changes around the spine cord injury area were determined with TUNEL staining method. (4) The motor functions of rats were tested by Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan score and inclined plane test after 1, 3 days and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks of modeling. (5) After 4 weeks of modeling, the histopatholgical changes in the area of spine cord injury were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining method. The survival changes of NSCs labeled by CM-Dil were determined by fluorescence microscope. The regenerations and distributions of spinal nerve fibers were observed by fluorescein gold retrograde tagging.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) After 72 hours of modeling, the AQP4 and MMP9 gene expression levels as well as the cell apoptotic rate in the combined group were significantly lower than those in the model, sufentanil and NSCs transplantation groups (P < 0.05). (2) After 2 weeks of modeling, the combined treatment significantly improved the hind limb motor functions of rats compared with the sufentanil and NSCs transplantation groups (P < 0.05), and the recovery of motor function was better in the sufentanil and NSCs transplantation groups than in the model group (P < 0.05). (3) After 4 weeks of modeling, the results of hematoxylin-eosin staining manifested that the spinal cord tissues lost and the magnified syringomyelias occurred in the model group. The syringomyelias in the sufentanil and NSCs transplantation groups were significantly smaller than that in the model group, and the syringomyelias almost disappeared in the combined group. (4) The number of positive cells was the most in the combined group, more in the NSCs transplantation group, but there were no positive cells labeled by CM-Dil in the sufentanil and negative control groups. (5) The number of positive neural fibers in the combined group was the highest followed by the sufentanil and NSCs transplantation groups, and the number of positive neural fibers in negative control group was the lowest. To conclude, sufentanil can improve the recovery of hind limb motor function by reducing the AQP4 and MMP9 expression levels in the injury area, promoting the survival of transplanted NSCs, and decreasing the local NSCs apoptosis after spinal cord injury.

This paper is to explore changes of intestinal mucosal barrier, intestinal flora, and bacterial translocation in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Twenty four male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group (n = 10) and the experimental group (n = 14). The model of severe acute pancreatitis of rats was induced by the method of injecting adversely 5% sodium taurocholate into the common biliary-pancreatic duct. All of the rats were killed after 24 hours and the level of the serum amylase and the plasma endotoxin was determined after that. The pathological changes of pancreas and small intestine were observed through hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE staining) and the abdominal viscera bacterial translocation rates were tested. With the method of real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) the quantity of the intestinal flora was analyzed. In the control group, the level of Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium were 2.08 ± 1.29, 11.04 ± 7.55 and 12.21 ± 4.95, respectively. On the contrast, the level of Escherichia coli in the cecum contents was much higher (9.72 ± 3.58, P < 0.01), while the Lactobacillus number was decreased significantly (0.67 ± 0.34, P < 0.01), and the Bifidobacterium number was also decreased (4.59 ± 3.42, P < 0.05) in the experimental group, so the ratio of Bifidobacterium/Escherichia coli was reversed. Besides, in the experimental group, the plasma endotoxin positive rates and the bacterial translocation rates were much higher (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05) and the pathology scores of pancreas and small intestines were also significantly higher (P < 0.01) than those in the control group. These results indicated that in severe acute pancreatitis rats, the intestinal mucosal barrier was severely damaged and the dysbacteriosis occurs in the intestinal canal. And these might relate to the occurrence and development of multiple organ infection.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), and to explore the risk factors leading to poor prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 95 patients with ECPR admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the survival status at the time of discharge, the patients were divided into the survival group and death group. The difference of clinical data between the two groups was compared to explore the risk factors related to death and poor prognosis. Risk factors associated with death were identified by Binary Logistic regression analysis. Results:A total of 95 patients with ECPR were included in this study, 62 (65.3%) died and 33 (34.7%) survived at discharge. Patients in the death group had longer low blood flow time [40 (30, 52.5) min vs. 30 (24.5, 40) min ] and total cardiac arrest time[40 (30, 52.5) min vs. 30(24.5, 40) min], shorter total hospital stay [3 (2, 7.25) d vs. 19 (13.5, 31) d] and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assisted time [26.5 (17, 50) h vs. 62 (44, 80.5) h], and more IHCA patients (56.5% vs. 33.3%) and less had spontaneous rhythm recovery before ECMO (37.1% vs. 84.8%). Initial lactate value [(14.008 ± 5.188) mmol/L vs.(11.23 ± 4.718) mmol/L], APACHEⅡ score [(30.10 ± 7.45) vs. (25.88 ± 7.68)] and SOFA score [12 (10.75, 16) vs. 10 (9.5, 13)] were higher ( P< 0.05). Conclusions:No spontaneous rhythm recovery before ECMO, high initial lactic acid and high SOFA score are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ECPR patients.

Objective To investigate the target blood pressure level of restrictive fluid resuscitation in patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Methods Sixty patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2016 to December 2018 were enrolled. All patients were resuscitated with sodium acetate ringer solution after admission. According to the difference of mean arterial pressure (MAP) target, the patients were divided into low MAP (60 mmHg ≤ MAP < 65 mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), middle MAP (65 mmHg ≤ MAP < 70 mmHg) and high MAP (70 mmHg ≤ MAP < 75 mmHg) groups by random number table using the admission order with 20 patients in each group. Those who failed to reach the target MAP after 30-minute resuscitation were excluded and supplementary cases were deferred. The restrictive fluid resuscitation phase was divided into three phases: before fluid resuscitation, liquid resuscitation for 30 minutes and 60 minutes. The most suitable resuscitation blood pressure level was further speculated by monitoring the inflammatory markers and hemodynamics in different periods in each group of patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to detect the correlation of variables. Results Before fluid resuscitation, there was no significant difference in hemodynamics or expressions of serum cytokines among the three groups. Three groups of patients were resuscitated for 30 minutes to achieve the target blood pressure level and maintain 30 minutes. With the prolongation of fluid resuscitation time, the central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI) were increased slowly in the three groups, and reached a steady state at about 30 minutes after resuscitation, especially in the high MAP group and the middle MAP group. The expressions of serum inflammatory factors in the three groups were gradually increased with the prolongation of fluid resuscitation time. Compared with the low MAP group and the high MAP group, after 30 minutes of resuscitation the middle MAP group was superior to the other two groups in inhibiting the expressions of pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and promoting anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 [TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCt):0.21±0.13 vs. 0.69±0.34, 0.57±0.35; IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 0.35±0.31 vs. 0.72±0.39, 0.59±0.42; IL-10 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.25±0.81 vs. 0.61±0.46, 0.82±0.53; all P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference in promoting the expression of IL-4 mRNA among three groups. At 60 minutes of resuscitation, compared with the low MAP group and the high MAP group, the middle MAP group could significantly inhibit the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6 and promote IL-10 [TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 0.72±0.35 vs. 1.05±0.54, 1.03±0.49; IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 0.57±0.50 vs. 1.27±0.72, 1.01±0.64; IL-10 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.41±0.90 vs. 0.81±0.48, 0.94±0.61; all P < 0.05]. Compared with the high MAP group, the middle MAP group had significant differences in promoting the expression of IL-4 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt: 1.32±0.62 vs. 0.91±0.60, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in serum cytokine expressions at different time points of resuscitation between the low MAP group and the high MAP group (all P > 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that there was a strong linear correlation between MAP and mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 in the middle MAP group (r value was 0.766, 0.719, 0.692, respectively, all P < 0.01), but had no correlation with IL-4 (r = 0.361, P = 0.059). Fitting linear regression analysis showed an increase in 1 mmHg per MAP, the expression of TNF-α mRNA increased by 0.027 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.023-0.031, P < 0.001], IL-6 mRNA increased by 0.021 (95%CI = 0.017-0.024, P < 0.001), and IL-10 mRNA increased by 0.049 (95%CI = 0.041-0.058, P < 0.001). Conclusions When patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock received restrict fluid resuscitation at MAP of 65-70 mmHg, the effect of reducing systemic inflammatory response and improving hemodynamics is better than the target MAP at 60-65 mmHg or 70-75 mmHg. It is suggested that 65-70 mmHg may be an ideal target MAP level for restrictive fluid resuscitation.
