Objective To predict the severity of acute pancreatitis by detecting the changes of microRNA in the serum,and whether paracentesis catheter drainage (PCD) should be applied to the patients.Methods The peripheral blood of 120 patients with acute pancreatitis who were admitted to the General Hospital of Chengdu Military Command from October 2013 to March 2014 were collected.Thirty-five patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) or moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) were in the group A,and 85 patients with mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) were in the group B.The scores of the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ),RANSON and bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) were assessed.The expressions of the miR-146a,miR-10b,miR-21 and miR-26a in the serum were detected by the real-time quantitative PCR.The differences in the expressions of the 4 kinds of microRNAs in the 2 groups were compared,and the correlation between the 3 exaluation system was analyzed.Factors influencing the timing of the PCD for the PCD patients were analyzed.The measurement data were analyzed using the t test,and the relationship between the variables was analyzed using the linear correlation analysis or the rank correlation analysis.Univariate or multivariate analysis was done by the Logistic regression analysis.Results (1) The scores of the APACHE Ⅱ,RANSON and BISAP were 8.28 ±0.61,3.42 ±0.54 and 1.71 ±0.32 in the group A,and 3.18 ±0.52,1.43 ±0.25 and 0.37 ±0.06 in the group B,with significant differences between the 2 groups (t =4.266,7.809,4.113,P ＜ 0.05).(2) The expressions of the miR-146a,miR-10b,miR-21 and miR-26a were 1.41 ± 0.21,2.94 ± 0.49,1.62 ± 0.25,1.21 ± 0.20 in the group A,and 6.29 ± 0.91,0.52 ± 0.09,2.82 ± 0.33 and 3.57 ± 0.64 in the group B.There were significant differences in the expression of the miR-146a and miR-10b between the 2 groups (t＝-2.156,2.110,P ＜0.05),while no significant difference in the miR-21,miR-26a was detected between the 2 groups (t =-1.114,-1.571,P ＞ 0.05).(3) There was correlation between the expressions of the miR-146a,miR-10b and the APACHE Ⅱ,RANSON,BISAP in the group A (r =-0.826,0.837,-0.874,0.866,-0.833,0.899,P ＜ 0.05),while no correlation was detected between the expressions of the miR-21,miR-26a and the 3 exaluation systems in the group A (r =0.642,0.321,0.701,0.750,0.716,0.716,P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference between the miR-146a,miR-10b,miR-21,miR-26a and the APACHE Ⅱ (r =0.067,0.347,0.133,0.111,P＞0.05),RANSON (r=0.178,0.078,0.092,0.142,P ＞0.05) and BISAP (r =0.103,0.260,0.216,0.285,P ＞ 0.05) in the group B.(4) The results of univariate analysis showed that miR-10b,RANSON and BISAP were the factors influencing the timing of PCD (OR =4.170,5.612,2.500,95 ％ confidence interval:1.092-15.932,1.232-21.622,1.190-5.254,P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that miR-10b was the factor influencing the timing of PCD (OR =2.374,95％ confidence interval:1.115-5.056,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions miR-10b and miR-146a might be the predictors of severity of severe acute pancreatitis; miR-10b might be the indicator in judging whether PCD should be applied.

Objective To understand the effectiveness of peroral endoscopic myotomy(POEM)for achalasia and secondary severe malnutrition in children and the effectiveness of nutrition support before and after POEM.Method Treatment of POEM,nutrition support(tube feeding by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy three months before operation)in one case were recorded and analyzed.Results POEM was successful without any complication such as perforation,bleeding,and pneumoderm.The child suffered from fever after surgery,which was dissolved after symptomatic treatment three days later.Chest pain was relieved after changing position.The diet was changed from liquid to semifluid,and then to normal diet.The child did not have dysphagia.During the 6-month follow-up,the patient had normal diets by oral route.The weight was 32 kg before achalasia and decreased to 18 kg after 9 months(at admission);it then increased to 29 kg after short-time(12 days)parenteral nutrition and long-time(3 months)enteral nutrition by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy,and then the patient received POEM.His weight was 30,31,31,29,and 31 kg 1,4,6,9,and 13 months,respectively,after POEM.Conclusion POEM can effectively cure achalasia in pediatric patients and improve the quality of life.Rational enteral nutrition can improve nutrition status and facilitate a successful POEM.

BACKGROUND: A few devices have been reported to be used for studies on trauma, but these devices are unavailable for establishing the animal models of trauma because of their limited application range. OBJECTIVE: To develop a multifunctional impact system and evaluate its application effect, thus paying ways for establishing the animal models of trauma and basic experiments.METHODS: The multifunctional impact system was designed based on the theory of energy storage device, simple multifunctional impact device and impact parameter measuring equipment, and its effectiveness and stability were detected. The rat chest and different visceral organs were subjected to the closed impact experiment using a 5 cm2 impact at the predetermined parameter of 200, 300, 400, 500 kPa, respectively. Afterwards, the rats were sacrificed for morphological observation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The multifunctional impactor was successfully developed, of which the maximum impact stress could be adjusted from 0 to 200 kg and compressive and extrusion stress also could be continuously adjusted from 0 to 100 kg. The experimental results showed that the impactor made certain damage to the rat lung, liver and spleen suggesting its favorable effectiveness (P < 0.05) and repeatability (P > 0.05). These findings suggest that the impactor is easy to operate in various ways and holds good effectiveness and stability, and its impact parameters can be detected in real time. Therefore, the impactor is suitable for both establishing the animal model of trauma and basic experiments.

Objective To study the protective effects of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ucMSCs)against severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in rats.Methods A total of 135 Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into Sham group,SAP group and SAP+ucMSCs group (45 each).SAP+ucMSCs group:Severe acute pancreatitis was induced by injecting 5％ sodium taurocholate (0.1ml/100g) into the common bilio-pancreatic duct and then CM-DiI-labeled ucMSCs at 1 × 107cells/kg were injected via the tail vein.All the rats were sacrificed 12,24 and 72 hours after SAP.The 72h death rate was counted.Pathological changes in the pancrease were detected by HE staining and pathological score was graded,ucMSCs colonization was observed by fluorescence microscopy.The serum levels of amylase,lipase,TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-4 and IL-10 were determined by ELISA.Results ucMSCs colonize the injured area of pancreatic tissue,the 72h death rate was reduced,and the serum amylase and lipase were also reduced significantly.Moreover,ucMSCs significantly reduced the pathological score of the pancrea and the level of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β),but the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines were increased (IL-4 and IL-10).Conclusion Transplantation of ucMSCs can reduce the severity of pancreatic injury and inflammation in SAP rats.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of glutamine on intestinal barrier function by examining the changes of plasma D-lactic levels and diamine oxidase (DAO) levels in plasma and intestinal tissue after glutamine intervention in young rats with endotoxemia.

METHODSEighty 18-day-old rats were randomly divided into endotoxemia and glutamine intervention groups (n=40 each). Endotoxemia was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. Plasma and small intestine homogenate were collected 1.5, 6, 24 and 72 hrs and 7 days after LPS injection. The glutamine intervention group was immediately administered with oral glutamine (2 g/kg) after LPS injection. Afterwards, glutamine was administered once daily. Plasma D-lactic and DAO levels and intestinal DAO levels were measured.

RESULTSPlasma DAO activity in the glutamine intervention group was significantly lower than that in the endotoxemia group 6 and 72 hrs after LPS injection (P<0.05). In contrast, the intestinal DAO activity in the glutamine intervention group was significantly higher than that in the endotoxemia group 6, 24 and 72 hrs and 7 days after LPS injection (P<0.05 or 0.01). Plasma D-lactic levels in the glutamine intervention group were significantly lower than those in the endotoxemia group 6, 24 and 72 hrs and 7 days after LPS injection (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSGlutamine may reduce the permeability of intestinal mucosa, and thus provides protective effects on intestinal barrier function in rats with endotoxemia.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)_AK096792 as a clinical predictor of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Methods: All the cord blood(2-5 mL) of very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants born in Huai′an First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were collected from December 1, 2015 to December 1, 2017.Moreover, the peripheral blood(2 mL) of those VLBW infants diagnosed with BPD was also collected.A total of 36 infants with BPD were collected.Another 36 cases of premature children with VLBW were chosen as control group according to random number table.The relative content of lncRNA_AK096792 in cord blood and peripheral blood was detected by using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Additionally, the correlation of lncRNA_AK096792 levels between cord and peripheral blood of BPD infants was analyzed.The sensitivity and specificity of lncRNA_AK096792 for BPD were analyzed by using receiver operating curve test. Results: (1)LncRNA_AK096792 was a common, evolutionarily conserved, non-coding RNA present in both mouse and human.(2) The expression level of lncRNA_AK096792 in peripheral blood was significantly higher than that in cord blood in BPD group[(463.3±352.0)% vs.(50.0±37.5)%], and the difference was significant(P<0.001), and they were highly correlated (r=0.825, P<0.001). (3) The level of lncRNA_AK096792 in cord blood in BPD group was signi-ficantly higher than that in non-BPD group [(484.3±280.5)% vs.(101.2±28.6)%], and the difference was significant(P<0.001). (4)When lncRNA_AK096792 served as a clinical predictor for BPD, the specificity was 83.3%, the sensitivity was 75.6%, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.88(P<0.001). Conclusions LncRNA_AK096792 is highly correlated with the development of BPD.The level of lncRNA_AK096792 in umbilical cord blood of premature infants can be used as an early predictive marker for BPD, it calls for further study.

OBJECTIVES: Shelter hospital was an alternative way to provide large-scale medical isolation and treatment for people with mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to various reasons, patients admitted to the large shelter hospital was reported high level of psychological distress, so did the healthcare workers. This study aims to introduce a comprehensive and multifaceted psychosocial crisis intervention model. METHODS: The psychosocial crisis intervention model was provided to 200 patients and 240 healthcare workers in Wuhan Wuchang shelter hospital. Patient volunteers and organized peer support, client-centered culturally sensitive supportive care, timely delivery of scientific information about COVID-19 and its complications, mental health knowledge acquisition of non-psychiatric healthcare workers, group activities, counseling and education, virtualization of psychological intervention, consultation and liaison were exhibited respectively in the model. Pre-service survey was done in 38 patients and 49 healthcare workers using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire 2-item (PHQ-2) scale, and the Primary Care PTSD screen for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (PC-PTSD-5). Forty-eight healthcare workers gave feedback after the intervention. RESULTS: The psychosocial crisis intervention model was successfully implemented by 10 mental health professionals and was well-accepted by both patients and healthcare workers in the shelter hospital. In pre-service survey, 15.8% of 38 patients were with anxiety, 55.3% were with stress, and 15.8% were with depression; 16.3% of 49 healthcare workers were with anxiety, 26.5% were with stress, and 22.4% were with depression. In post-service survey, 62.5% of 48 healthcare workers thought it was very practical, 37.5% thought more practical; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to relief anxiety and insomnia, and 27.1% thought much helpful; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to recognize patients with anxiety and insomnia, and 29.2% thought much helpful; 35.4% of them thought it was very helpful to deal with patients' anxiety and insomnia, and 37.5% thought much helpful. CONCLUSIONS Psychological crisis intervention is feasible, acceptable, and associated with positive outcomes. Future tastings of this model in larger population and different settings are warranted.
