Objective To investigate the changes in ATPase activity of diaphragm in rats with acute organophosphorus poisoning (AOPP) and to explore the effect of Xuebijing injection on the ATPase activity. Methods 24 clean healthy Spraue-Dawley(SD)rats were divided into control group,model group and Xuebijing treatment group by means of random number table,with 8 rats in each group. AOPP model was established by intra-gastrical administration of 50 mg/kg oxide dimethoate. In Xuebijing treatment group,after oxide dimethoate administration,intraperitoneal injection of Xuebijing(10 mL/kg)was given at the same time,while in control group and model group,equal amount of normal saline(NS)was injected via the same route. The rats were sacrificed at 6 hours after model formation,and their diaphragms were taken sterilely. The activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPsae of diaphragms were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The histopathological changes in diaphragms of rats were observed with light microscopy. Results 6 hours after intoxication,the diaphragm Na+-K+-ATPase activity of rats in model group was markedly lower than that in control group(mmol?h-1?g-1:5.22±0.74 vs. 9.98±0.37,P<0.01),while the Na+-K+-ATPase activity in Xuebijing treatment group(6.93±1.14) was markedly higher than that in model group(P<0.05). The diaphragm Ca2+-ATPase activity of rats in model group was markedly lower than that in control group(mmol?h-1?g-1:7.45±0.74 vs. 12.08±0.74,P<0.01),while the Ca2+-ATPase activity in Xuebijing treatment group(9.35±1.67)was obviously higher than that in model group(P<0.05)after intoxication for 6 hours. Light microscope observation indicated that there were swelling and necrosis in diaphragm in model group,while in Xuebijing treatment group no necrosis was found. Conclusion The diaphragm was degenerated and necrotic in AOPP rats,Xuebijing injection can lessen the injury in such rats,and the curative effect may be related to the improvement of the Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPsae activities of diaphragm.

Objective To study the value of SCCAg,CYFRA21-1 and TPS in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of patients with cell cervical cancer (SCC).Methods The levels of serum SCCAg,CYFRA21-1and TPS from 160 SCC patients and 60 health women were detected by means of ELISA.Results ( 1 ) The levels of serum SCCAg,CYFRA21-1and TPS in SCC were significantly higher than those of normal group ( P ＜0.001 ).The median values of normal group:0.43 μg/L,0.43 μg/L,26 U/L,the median values of cervical cancer group:1.96 μg/L,2.29 μg/L,149.1 U/L ( 2 ) The specificity of SCCAg,CYFRA21-1 and TPS in diagnosing SCC were both 100％.The sensitivity of SCCAg,CYFRA21-1 and TPS in diagnosing SCC was 53.42％,40.68％ and 83.95％,respectively.The sensitivity of TPS was obviously different from SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 ( P ＜0.001 ).The sensitivity of SCCAg plus CYFRA21-1 and three markers together were 69.23％and 92.31％,respectively.(3)The expressing of SCCAg,CYFRA21 -1 and TPS in FIGO stages Ⅲ plus Ⅳ was significantly higher than in stages Ⅰ plus Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.05 ),and all markers were not related to the degree of histological differentiation.SCCAg was correlated strongly with tumor size,growth type,lymph node metastasis and age( P ＜ 0.05 ),but CYFRA21-1 was not correlated with all these factors.TPS level was significantly associated with tumor size and lymph node metastasis( P ＜0.05 ),but not with growth type and age.(4)A total of 78 patients were followed up.The pretreatmental serum levels of SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 in patients with recurrence were significantly higher than those without recurrence( P ＜0.05 ).The same trend was not found for TPS.Compared with the normal control,the patients with elevated SCCAg before treatment has shorter intervals before recurrence and metastasis occurred.Also,the survival of patients with elevated SCCAg before treatment was shorter than the normal control ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion SCCAg,CYFRA21-1 and TPS serum levels are valuable markers for the diagnosis of SCC.Meanwhile,SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 are chnically significant pridictors for the prognosis of SCC.

Objective To investigate the value of the hippocampal subfield's MRI T2 signal intensity in evaluating the effect of the hydrochloric donepezil for mild cognitive impairment(MCI).Methods 20 MCI patients with hydrochloric donepezil (treatment group) and 20 patients with placebo (control group) were scanned by MRI using FSE-T2 sequence.The margin of hippocampal subfields was outlined manually for each side to measure the MRI T2 signal intensity.The relationship between hippocampal MRI T2 signal intensity and MMSE scores was analyzed in the treatment group.Results Before the treatment, there was no significant difference of the MRI T2 signal intensity between groups.After the treatment, the MRI T2 signal intensity in the bilateral head of the treatment group was significantly decreased compared with the control group(P<0.05).There was an inverse relationship between the MRI T2 signal intensity of the bilateral hippocampal head and MMSE scores in the treatment group(P<0.05).Conclusion The MRI T2 signal intensity in the bilateral hippocampal head could be regarded as a valuable marker in making clinical diagnosis and evaluating the effect of the treatment for MCI in its early stage.

Objective To study the effects of dynamic,support-inducing exercise on the support,balance and gait ability of patients with moderate-to-severe hemiplegia after stroke.Methods Fourteen stroke patients were randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group (7 cases to each).The patients in the experimental group received both dynamic,support-inducing exercise and routine exercises,while the patients in the control group received routine exercises only.Before training and after 40 and 60 days of training,their functional capacity was evaluated with the Chinese stroke scale (CSS) for neurological deficits,Berg's balance scale (BBS) and using functional ambulation categories (FACs).Results Before training there was no inter-group difference in average CSS or BBS scores or in FACs.For the experimental group there were significant intra-group differences compared with 0th day in all three items at both time points.At days 40 and 60 there were also significant intra-group differences in BBS scores and FACs in the control group,and CSS scores improved significantly only in the experimental group.At day 40 there were significant inter-group differences in average CSS,BBS and FAC results.However,by day 60 a significant difference persisted only in average CSS scores.Conclusions Dynamic,support-inducing exercise can improve support,balance and gait in patients with moderate-to-severe hemiplegia after stroke.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of superior trunk block (STB) versus interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) in the patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery with general anesthesia.Methods:Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 18-70 yr, undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery, were divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: ISB plus general anesthesia group (group IG) and STB plus general anesthesia group (group SG). In group IG and group SG, 0.375% ropiacaine 15 ml was injected around C 5-C 6 nerve roots and superior trunk, respectively.SpO 2, diaphragmatic excursion, diaphragmatic paralysis, dyspnea and Horner syndrome were recorded at 30 min after injection.General anesthesia with tracheal intubation was then performed in all the patients, and remifentanil or phenylephrine was used to maintain hemodynamics stable.The use of remifentanil was recorded at the end of operation, the visual analogue scale score was performed after patients regained consciousness, and the duration of sensory and motor blockade was recorded at 24 h after operation. Results:Compared with group IG, the decrease in the amplitude of SpO 2 was significantly decreased, and diaphragmatic excursion was increased, the incidence and degree of diaphragmatic paralysis were decreased, duration of sensory blockade was prolonged, the incidence of Horner syndrome and dyspnea was decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the requirement for remifentanil, postoperative visual analogue scale score, and duration of motor blockade in group SG ( P>0.05). Conclusion:STB not only provides better perioperative analgesia, but also reduces the incidence of diaphragmatic paralysis when compared with ISB in the patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery with general anesthesia.

Objective To explore the antioxidant mechanism ofhistone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) regulating Nrf 2 acetylation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cell injury.Methods The experiment was divided into two parts.The first part was the routine culture of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells of mice.The cells were stimulated with different concentrations of LPS (10 ng/ mL,100 ng/mL and 1 000 ng/mL).CCK-8 was used to detect the cell activity at 0 h,6 h,12 h,24 h and 48 h,respectively.The second part:Alveolar epithelial cells of type Ⅱ were cultured and divided into the normal control group (control group),LPS group,HDAC2 lentivirus interference group (siRNA-HDAC2 group) and HDAC2 lentivirus overexpression group (LV-HDAC2 group).The expression of HDAC2 and Nrf2 were detected by Western blot,the acetylation of Nrf2 was detected by immunoprecipitation,and the stability of nrf2 was detected after actinidone action.The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by chemical colorimetry.SPSS 23.0 statistical software was used.LSD-t test was used for comparison between two groups,and one-way ANOVA test was used for comparison among multiple groups.Results Compared with the control group,the expression of HDAC2 protein in the LPS group increased (t=5.974,P=0.027),the acetylation level of Nrf2 decreased (t=7.223,P=0.002),the Nrf2 protein level increased (t=2.929,P=0.043),the protein stability of Nrf2 increased,the SOD activity decreased (t=121,P＜0.01),and the MDA content increased (t=10.45,P=0.000 5).Compared with the LPS group,Nrf2 acetylation level decreased in the LV-HDAC2 group (t=1 1.29,P=0.000 4),Nrf2 protein expression increased (t=3.194,P=0.033),Nrf2 protein stability increased,SOD activity increased (t=4.678,P=0.009),and MDA content decreased in the LV-HDAC2 group (t=5.417,P=0.005 6).While the opposite trend was observed in the siRNA-HDAC2 group.Conclusion After LPS stimulation,oxidative stress of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells was aggravated.HDAC2 could decrease the level of Nrf2 acetylation,increase the expression of Nrf2 protein,and alleviate LPS-induced oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the correlation between preoperative N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptidogen(NT-proBNP)levels and early postoperative outcomes in elderly and critically ill pa-tients with hip fractures.Methods A total of 593 elderly and critically ill patients with hip fractures from January 2018 to April 2021 were selected,including 189 males and 404 females,aged≥65 years,BMI 12.0-35.5 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ-Ⅳ.General preoperative information,intraoperative and post-operative discharge outcomes of patients were retrospectively obtained by the electrical clinical medical record system or telephone follow-up.The receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curve of preoperative plas-ma NT-proBNP and postoperative 30-day death was plotted,and the corresponding optimal cut-off value was 1 765.0 pg/ml.According to NT-proBNP values,the patients were divided into two groups:low-ratio group(NT-proBNP≤1 765.0 pg/ml,group L,n = 463)and high-ratio group(NT-proBNP＞1 765.0 pg/ml,group H,n = 130).The correlation between different plasma concentrations of NT-proBNP before surgery and ICU length of stay,total length of stay,postoperative complications,and 30-day mortality rate were an-alyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results Compared with group L,age,preoperative comorbidities with coronary heart disease,arrhythmia,chronic heart failure,lung disease,and chronic kidney disease,as well as mortality within 30 days after surgery were significantly increased in group H(P＜0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high preoperative plasma NT-proBNP concentration was positive correlation with postoperative ICU length of stay(OR = 1.215,95%CI 1.073-1.375,P = 0.020)and 30-day mortality rate(OR = 32.696,95%CI 7.158-149.338,P＜0.001).Conclusion High preoperative plasma NT-proBNP concentration is positive correlation with postoperative ICU hospitalization timeand 30-day mortality.
