1.Recent advances in the pathogenesis and treatment of hypoproteinemia after surgical stress
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2017;29(3):284-288
After major operation,a series of complicated pathological and physiological changes will occur during the trauma and stress state.The protein synthesis is affected,which results in negative nitrogen balance.In addition,the release of inflammatory factors can damage the capillary endothelial cells and increase the permeability of micrangium,induce vascular colloidal albumin leakage to the extravascular tissue,decrease plasma albumin,make wound edema,eventually lead to postoperative hypoproteinemia.Except for albumin supplement,it should be aimed at the mechanism to control the stress response and reduce the leakage caused by the release of inflammatory factors to solve this problem radically in clinical work.The reports about the causes and treatment of hypoproteinemia after major surgery were reviewed to provide evidence for clinical treatment.
2.Prevention and treatment of carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae infection in neonates
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2021;28(2):92-97
Carbapenem-resistance is an emerging problem in Chinese neonatal intensive care units.Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae(CRE)can hydrolyze almost all β-lactam antibiotics including carbapenems by producing carbapenemase.There are three groups of carbapenemases, namely Amber A, B and D groups, which have different hydrolytic activities to specific β-lactam antibiotics.Currently, Chinese NICUs have been facing high colonization and infection rates of CRE, with high fatality rate and rapid transmission.The treatment of neonatal CRE infections is extremely difficult.The limited choice of antibiotics, the lack of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data and the uncertainty of the optimal dose and interval bring great challenges to the effective therapy of neonatal CRE infections.The main antimicrobial agents for CRE in adults and children include carbapenems, ceftazidime/averbactam, fosfomycin, polymyxin, aztreonam, etc., but there are few studies in neonates.Once infants are colonized or infected by CRE, decolonization and treatment are very difficult.Therefore, strict implementation of infection control and neonatal antimicrobial stewardship programs to reduce CRE production, transmission and infection, are the most important measures to cope with the prevalence of CRE.

Objective: To determine the relationship between serum omentin-1 concentration and bone mineral desity in postmenopausal women, and the adipose influence of tissue on bone mineral density (BMD). Methods: BMD values of 336 participants were measured by dual-energy-x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at various skeletal sites: the anteroposterior spine, femeral neck, total hip (T-hip) and total body BMD (TBMD). Body compositions including lean tissue mass (LTM) and body fat mass (FBM) were measured by DEXA. hTe plasma concentrations of adipocytokines (omentin-1, adiponectin,leptin,resistin,visfatin, andapelin) were measured by ELISA. Results: hTe overweight and obese groups had higher T-hip,femerol neck, intertrochanter BMDthan the nomal weight group. Plasma omentin-1 was negatively correlated with anteroposterior spine, femeral neck, trochanter, intertrochanter, T-hip and Ward’s BMD, after adjustment for age, BMI and fat body mass, and the correlation was not significant. Multiple stepwise regression anlysis revealed that lean body mass, menopause duration and estrogen level were the most important variables affecting the BMD and each explained 12.2%–13.7%, 6.9%–13.1%, 0.9%–1.7% of the variance. Serum adiponectin was independently associated with T-hip, lumbar spine and total BMD. Conclusion: Plasma omentin-1 is not significantly correlated with BMD in postmenopausal women. Lean body mass, menopause duration and estrogen level are the most important variables affecting the BMD. Serum adiponectin is an independent predictor of T-hip, lumbar spine and total BMD.

BACKGROUND:Previous study has proved that implantation of the tissue-engineering bone with vascular bundles or sensory nerve tracts can promote bone formation, which may be related to the expression of sensory neuropeptide receptors. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of implantation of tissue-engineered bone containing vascular bundles and sensory nerve tracts on the middle-and long-term expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide type Ⅰ receptor (CGRP1R) in the repair of rabbit large femoral defects. METHODS:Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were enrol ed and modeled into 1.5 cm femoral defects, and then randomized into three groups. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were subjected to osteoblastic induction for 7 days, and then seeded onto the β-calcium phosphate scaffold to construct the tissue-engineered scaffold.In sensory nerve group, the tissue-engineered scaffold was implanted into the defect region, and autologous sensory nerve bundles were implanted into the lateral groove of the tissue-engineered bone;in vascular bundle group, the tissue-engineered scaffold was implanted, and autologous femoral blood bundles were implanted into the lateral groove of the tissue-engineered bone;in blank control group, only the tissue-engineered scaffold was implanted. X-ray examination, immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR were performed at 24 and 48 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The X-ray scores in the sensory nerve and vascular bundle groups were significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between sensory nerve and vascular bundle groups. Real-time PCR found that the expression level of CGRP1R mRNA in the vascular bundle group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups (P<0.05), but showed no significant difference between sensory nerve and blank control groups.Immunohistochemistry findings showed that CGRP1R positive expression rate in the sensory nerve and vascular bundle groups was higher than that in the blank control group. These results reveal that implantation of the tissue-engineered bone containing vascular bundles can promote the CGRP1R expression.
