Protein synthesis and nitrogen equilibrium have been investigated in the early postoperative period in 21 patients with carcinoma of esophagus and cardia after resection. They received 17-L-crystalline amino acid (AAM) and glucose infusion through parenteral route and were compared with a series' of 11 patients taking similar volume and calorie with protein hydrolysate (PRH) and glucose.In AAM series, the plasma protein could be maintained in preoperatiye level but not in PRH series. In AAM series a nitrogen equilibrium was reached while in PRH series was a negative equilibrium. The cellular immunity and serum amino acid spectrum were improved or replaced in both series, but they were better in AAM series. The improvement in nitrogen balance was probably mainly due to an increase in protein synthesis.

Objective To summarize the experience of obtaining and maintaining grafting vessels correctly in order to prevent grafting vessels from occlusion and assure the success for myocardial revascularization.Methods The grafting vessels was obtained by the method of "no touch", active anticoagulant therapy and maintaining normal level of blood pressure and blood glucose after operation.Results Stable postoperative hemodynamic parameters and myocardial functional improvement without perioperative myocardial infarction and pectoris angina occurred in 15 patients with coronary heart disease.Conclusions Manipulating carefully and gently by the method of "no touch"and active anticoagulant therapy play an important role in the prevention of grafting vessels occlusion and the success of coronary artery bypass grafting.

Objective The incidence of post-operative hyperbilimbinemia, which is associated with poor outcomes in patients, was reported to be increased in recent years though it has been a rare complication for cardiac operations. Post-opera-tive impairment of liver function is highlighted. We evaluated the incidence and prognosis of post-operative hyperbiliruhinemia in adult patients who underwent cardiotomy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Methods Sixty-five adult patients who had received ECMO support after cardiac surgery from 2004 to 2008 were enrolled and evaluated retrospec-tively. Post-oporative hypethilirubinemia was defined as the serum level of the total bilirubin more than 51.3 μmol/L during postoperative period. Demographic and clinical data included gender, age, types of surgery, perioperative hemodynamic param-eters, biochemical variables, duration of the ventilation support, ICU stay and outcomes. Results The mean age of the pa-tients was (50.1 ± 13.9) years, forty-six patients(70.8%) were male. The main cardiac procedures were heart transplanta-tion for 9 patients, coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve operations for 47 patients, congenital heart disease correction for 4 patients and other operations for 5 patients. Among all patients, fifty-one patients(78.5%) were weaned from ECMO succeas-fully and thirty-thrce patients were discharged from hospital. The overall mortality rate was 49.2%. Overall incidence of post-operative hyperbilirubinemia was 55.4%. In patients with postoperative hyperbilirubinemia, the mean peak value for serum to-tal bilirubin was 104.8 (68.5-156.7) μmol/l. The hospital mortality in the hyperbilirubinemia group was significantly higher than that in the non-hyperbilirubinemia group(66.7% vs. 27.6%, P <0.01). Moreover, postoperative hypethilirubinemia (adds ratio = 3. 895, 95% confidence interval, 1.088 - 13.947 ; P = 0.037) and SOFA score (odds ratio = 1.214, 95% confidence interval, 0.987 - 1.494, P = 0.047) and APACHE Ⅲ score (odds ratio = 1.096, 95% confidence interval, 1.028 - 1.169 ; P = 0.004) were associated with hospital mortality after adjusting for preoperative levels of the total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, gender and age. Conclusion Postoperative hyperbilirubinemia is one of the complications in adult patients who undergo cardiotomy with ECMO support, and is associated with increased hospital mortality.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate of adilty of two acute renal failure-specific scoring systenms (the classification by Bellome et al and the AKIN criteria) for predicting hospital mortality after cardiac surgery in adult patients. Methods Between October 1 st 2006 to Decemjber 31 st 2006, 509 adult patients who ungerwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/ or valve operation were enrolled in this study. The medical data collection included gender, age, types of operation, perioperative he- modynamic parameters, urine output, biochemical parameters and outcome. Renal function was assessed daily according to the classi- ficatinn by Bellomo and the AKIN criteria, respectively. As references, Acure Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation(APACHE) Ⅱ and Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score were also calculated. Resuits Three hundred and forty-one patients were male (67.0%), and 168 were female (33.0%), mean age was (56.2±12.0) years old. Tnree hundred and nine patieats un- derwent CABG, 182 underwent valve operation and 18 underwent CABG plus valve operation, Mean duration of ventilation support was (20.4±17.7) houra, and the ICU stay was (1.4±1.0) days. Postoperative hospital stay was (13.8±9.1) days. According to the classification by Bellomo., the highest in-hospital mortality was 52.9% in ARFS group. Mahiplicatinn of in-hospital morality rate was abserved (X2 for trend, P<0.01) in 0.4% (non-ARF), 1.2% (stage 1), 12.0% (stal～ 2) and 32.4% (stage 3) of pa- tients based on the AKIN criteria. By applying the area under the receiver operating characteristic ourve, the classification by Bellomo and the AKIN criteria had good discriminative power. Furthering, multivariate logistic regression analysis verified that the Odds Ratio of the AKIN criteria was 5.478 (P =0.028, 95% Confidence Interval 1.027- 24.856), after adjusting for gender and age. Con- clusion Analytical data confinned good discriminative power of both the AKIN criteria and the classification by Bellomo for predicting hospital mortality of adult postoperative patient with ARF.

Objective The rate of post -operative complications has been increased with the changes in patients' age,prolonged duration, more severe and diffused lesions, and more patients with complications in recent years. We try to identify the risk factors associated with prolonged stay in the intensive care unit ( ICU ) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods 1623 patients who received CABG surgery in Beijing Anzhen Hospital Between June 1, 2006 and December 31,2007 were divided into two groups based on their stay duration in the ICU. Prolonged stay in ICU was defined as 5days or more. Univariate and multivariate analysis ( logistic regression) were used to identify the risk factors. The discrimination and calibration of the result were tested after the risk factors were determined. Results Fifty one patients had prolonged ICU stay, accounting for 3.14% of total cases. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the age of patients, peripheral vascular diseases, critical status before operation, LVEF, operative status, mitral regurgitation, postoperative respiratory failure,postoperative renal failure, secondary thoracotomy for postoperative bleeding were associated risk factors. Conclusion Prolonged ICU stay after CABG surgery can be predicted based on the above factors. For patients with these risk factors, more pre-and postoperative care strategies are needed.

Objective To evaluate the value of acute kidney injury network (AKIN) criteria for predicting hospital mortality in post-cardiosurgery elderly patients. Methods From October 2006 to January 2007, the elderly patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting or valve replacement operation were enrolled in this study. The medical data included gender, age, operation type, perioperative hemodynamic parameters, urine output, biochemical parameters and outcome. Renal function was assessed according to the AKIN criteria, and severity of illness was determined after surgery by calculating Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ ) score. Results A total of 225 patients underwent cardiac surgery during this period, 169 patients were male (75. 1%), while 56 were female (24. 9%), mean age was (66. 7±5. 0) years old. The overall hospital mortality rate was 5.8% (13/225). According to AKIN criteria, there were 125 patients with acute kidney injury (55.6%), and the hospital mortality of stage 1, 2 and 3 patients were 2. l%(2/96), 9. 1% (1/11) and 50. 0% (9/18) respectively. A significant increase was observed in mortality based on AKIN criteria (P<0. 01). By applying the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, the AKIN criteria had a good discriminative power. Conclusions Both the incidence and mortality rate of acute kidney injury in the post-cardiosurgery elderly patients are high, the AKIN criteria is a simple and valuable method with a good prognostic capability for evaluating acute kidney injury.

Objective:To investigate the optimal emergency endoscopy timing in patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB).Methods:The clinical data of patients with EGVB emergency endoscopy in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 2018 to November 2020 were collected and analyzed. According to the time interval from admission to the start of emergency endoscopy, they were divided into emergency endoscopy group (<6 h, n=115) and early endoscopy group (6-24 h, n=57). The baseline data, clinical efficacy and postoperative situation of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors of 6-week mortality of EGVB emergency endoscopy were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results:In terms of baseline characteristics, there were no significant differences in age, gender, causes, shock index, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, charlson complication index (CCI) score, portal hypertension related complications between the two groups ( P<0.05). However, the albumin (ALB) in emergency endoscopy group was significantly lower than that in early endoscopy group ( P<0.001). There were significant differences in Child Pugh grading and Child Pugh score between the two groups ( P=0.002, P=0.001). In terms of endoscopic efficacy, the detection rate of bleeding site in emergency endoscopy group was significantly higher than that in early endoscopy group (90.4% and 73.7%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in operation duration, immediate hemostasis success rate, 5-day rebleeding rate, rescue treatment demand and 6-week mortality between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in bleeding related death between the two groups ( P>0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in blood product consumption, intensive care unit (ICU) stay and total hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that Child Pugh grade C ( P=0.018), MELD score ( P=0.005) and CCI score ( P=0.001) were independent risk factors for 6-week death outcome of EGVB patients, while emergency endoscopic intervention time was not related to 6-week death outcome ( P=0.5). Conclusions:The efficacy of early endoscopic intervention is no worse than that of emergency endoscopic intervention, except for the identification of bleeding site. Child-Pugh grade C, MELD score, and CCI score are the independent risk factors for 6-week mortality, while the timing of emergency endoscopy is not associate with 6-week mortality in EGVB patients.

Objective:To obtain hepatitis B virus capsid-like particles (CLPs) displaying B-cell linear epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and evaluate their immunogenicity.Methods:Four recombinant plasmids expressing fusion proteins (M1-HBc, S1-57-HBc, S14P5-HBc and S21P2-HBc) were constructed by separately replacing codon of alanine at position 80 of hepatitis B virus core protein (HBc) with four genes coding for four B-cell linear epitopes (M1, S1-57, S14P5 and S21P2). These four recombinant proteins were expressed in E. coli BL21 Star (DE3) strains. The expression products were identified using SDS-PAGE, Western blot and native agarose gel electrophoresis (NAGE). CLPs were purified by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation, verified for antigenicity by Western blot and used to immunize BALB/c mice. Serum antibody titers were detected by ELISA. Results:The recombinant fusion proteins M1-HBc and S1-57-HBc self-assembled into M1-CLP and S1-57-CLP. The titer of antibody against S1-57 polypeptide in S1-57-CLP-immunized mouse serum approached 1∶1 000 000.Conclusions:Hepatitis B virus CLPs displaying SARS-CoV-2 M1 or S1-57 linear epitopes are successfully expressed in a prokaryotic system and purified. S1-57-CLP has good immunogenicity. This study provides a new idea for the development of novel diagnostic reagents and vaccines for SARS-CoV-2.

Objective: To investigate the current status of myopia in children and adolescents in Qamdo, Tibet, and analyze related influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for the prevention and control of adolescents in plateau areas. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 959 children and adolescents randomly selected from one district and two counties in Qamdo (from the fourth grade of elementary school to the second grade of high school) for visual acuity and refraction tests and filled out a vision related behavior questionnaire to analyze the incidence of myopia among adolescents in the region and its associated factors. Results: The myopia rate of adolescents in grades 4-11 was 54.43%, the rate of undercorrection of refractive errors was 85.25%, and the percentage of students wearing eyeglasses was 34.67%,fully vision correction rate was 42.54%. The myopia rate of students in grades 4-6 was 35.14%, 64.71% in grades 7-9, and 73.48% in grades 10-11. The myopia rate increased with grades( χ 2= 101.18 , P <0.01). The myopia rate (70.40%) of urban students (grades 4-9) was higher than that of county level(41.45%), and the myopia rate of students with myopia from either parent (68.24%) was higher than that of students without myopia (51.91%) , the myopia rate of girls (59.96%) was higher than that of boys (48.36%)( χ 2=53.19，13.46，12.98， P <0.01). Use electronic products for more than 2.5 hours per day, electronic devices usage after bedtime, the light low indoor brightness when studying on a sunny day, and only use one of the table lamps or roof lights when studying at night, preference for fried food, poor sleep quality, in the morning the students who still feel tired are at higher risk of myopia( χ 2=10.35, 10.91, 6.87, 4.25, 4.97, 5.71, 12.11, P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the occurrence of myopia was related to region, grade, gender, parental myopia, time spent on electronic products every day in the past 5 months, and sleep quality( P <0.05). Conclusion The high rate of myopia in children and adolescents in Qamdo may be related to the quality of sleep, the length of time electronic products are used, the eye environment, and the frequency of eating fried foods. Outdoor activities do not show significant differences.

Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.
