Methods One hundred and twenty Pediatric Patients ( ASA I orIIleVel) with congenital heart diseases were randomly chosen for this study. They receiVed femoral artery and Vein cannulation to establish cardioPulmonary byPass and three small holes were obtained in the right chest for the PurPose of undergoing the whole Video_assisted thoracoscoPic surgery on rePairmen of atrial sePtal defect or simPle Ventricular sePtal defect. They were randomly diVided into two grouPs: Dex_assisted fast_track anesthesia grouP (D grouP,n=60) and general fast_track anesthesia grouP (C grouP,n=60). Each one in grouP D was injected with loading dose of Dex (1 μg·kg-1),then was intraoPeratiVely infused with maintenance dose of 0. 5 μg·kg-1·h-1. Children in grouP C were giVen the same dose of saline in the same way. Hemodynamic changes in the two grouPs at each time Point:before anesthesia ( t0 ) ,at the time of extubation ( t1 ) ,5 min Post_extubation ( t2 ) ,10 min Post_extubation ( t3 ) ,15 min Post_extubation ( t4 ) , 30 min Post_extubation (t5) and at the time of transferring out of CICU (t6),resPectiVely,were obserVed. Restlessness extent, incidence,time of eye oPening after calling, fully awaking time, extubation time, the time of transferring out of CICU and VAS scores,were also recorded. Results From t0 to t2-t5 ,SBP in D grouP was decreased from (114. 2±10. 5) mmHg to (107. 2±10. 3) -(105. 3±11. 3) mmHg,DBP decreased from (61. 3±9. 2) mmHg to (58. 8±7. 8) -(57. 3±6. 3) mmHg,and HR gradually decreased from (95. 2±15. 7) time·min-1 to (85. 7±13. 7)-(83. 3±12. 6) time·min-1,with significant differences (P<0. 05). ComPared with C grouP,SBP and DBP at t2-t5 were decreased significantly (P<0. 01),and HR at t1-t5 decreased significantly (P<0. 01). OVerall incidence of agitation was significantly higher in grouP C than in grouP D (48. 3%vs. 16. 7%,P<0. 01). Incidence of moderate and seVere agitation were significantly higher in grouP C than in grouP D (18. 3%vs. 6. 7%,and 20%vs. 1. 7%,resPectiVely,P<0. 01). In grouP D,time of eye oPening after calling,fully awaking time,extubation time,and the time of transferring out of CICU were Prolonged,without significant difference as comPared with grouP C (P>0. 05). VAS at 30 min after extubation was significantly higher in grouP C than in grouP D(4. 7±0. 7 vs. 2. 4±0. 6,P<0. 05). Conclusion Injection of Dex with loading dose (1 μg·kg-1) and intraoPeratiVe infusion of maintenance dose of 0. 5 μg·kg-1·h-1 in children with congenital heart disease undergoing fast_track anesthesia and whole Video_assisted thoracoscoPic surgery could be conduciVe to maintain hemodynamic stability, reduce restlessness occurrence, enhance security during awakening Process, and alleViate Post_oPeratiVe Pain.

Objective:To evaluate the role of ferroptosis in lung injury in a rat model of autologous orthotopic liver transplantation.Methods:Twenty-four healthy adult SPF-grade male rats, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 230-270 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=8 each) using the random number table method: sham operation group (S group), autologous in situ liver transplantation group (LT group) and ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostain-1 group (LT+ Fer-1 group). In LT group and LT+ Fer-1 group, an autologous in situ liver transplantation model was developed in anesthetized animals, and Ferrostain-1 5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before surgery in LT+ Fer-1 group. The inferior vena cava blood samples were obtained at 6 h of reperfusion, then animals were sacrificed, and lung tissues were obtained. The morphology of lung tissues was examined, and the lung injury was scored. The serum malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration and contents of MDA, reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase4 (GPX4), and Fe 2+ in lung tissues were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 recombinant protein (SLC7A11) was determined by Western blot. Results:Compared with S group, the lung injury, serum MDA concentration, and contents of MDA and Fe 2+ were significantly increased, the contents of GSH and GPX4 were decreased, and the expression of FTH1 and SLC7A11 was down-regulated in LT group ( P<0.05). Compared with LT group, the lung injury, serum MDA concentration, and contents of MDA and Fe 2+ were significantly decreased, the contents of GSH and GPX4 were increased, and the expression of FTH1 and SLC7A11 was up-regulated in LT+ Fer-1 group ( P< 0.05). Conclusions:Ferroptosis is involved in the pathophysiology of lung injury in a rat model of autologous orthotopic liver transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the role of IL-21/IL-21R-mediated CD4 + T cells in Chlamydia muridarum ( Cm) respiratory infection. Methods:C57BL/6 mice (WT mice) and IL-21R -/- mice were used to establish the models of Cm respiratory infection through intranasal inhalation of Cm. Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion, number, activity and function of CD4 + T cells in lung and spleen tissues at 0, 3, 7 and 14 d after Cm respiratory tract infection. IFN-γ and IL-4 levels in spleen cell culture supernatants were detected by ELISA. Na?ve WT mice were transferred with CD4 + T cells in the spleen tissues of IL-21R -/- mice or WT mice on 7 d after infection and given Cm intranasally 2 h later. Then the mice were weighed daily and sacrificed on 14 d after infection. The bacterial load and pathological changes in lung were analyzed. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the proportions and numbers of neutrophils (CD45 + CD11b + Gr-1 high) and alveolar macrophages (CD45 + F4/80 + CD11c high)as well as the proportions of Th1 (IFN-γ + CD4 + ) and Th2 (IL-4 + CD4 + ) cells. ELISA was also performed to measure IFN-γ and IL-4 levels in spleen cell culture supernatants. Results:Compared with WT mice, IL-21R -/- mice showed elevated numbers and enhanced activation of CD4 + T cells, increased proportion of Th1 cells and decreased proportion of Th2 cells in spleen and lung tissues after Cm respiratory infection. Besides, IFN-γ levels increased, while IL-4 levels decreased in spleen cell culture supernatants of IL-21R -/- mice. After Cm infection, the na?ve WT transferred with CD4 + T cells from IL-21R -/- mice showed less body weight loss, reduced bacterial load and alleviated pathological changes in lung tissues, increased proportion of Th1 cells in lung tissue and higher IFN-γ level in spleen cell culture supernatants. Conclusions:IL-21/IL-21R-mediated CD4 + T cells could aggravate Cm respiratory infection by suppressing Th1 cell immune responses.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang on cardiac function and myocardial histopathological changes in rats with ischemic myocardial injury， and to observe the effect of myocardial microvascular density （MVD）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）， mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha （HIF-1α）， and vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） signaling pathways on myocardial microangiogenesis. MethodSeventy male SD rats were randomly selected， with six rats in the normal group. The remaining rats were fed a high-fat diet and injected with isoproterenol hydrochloride （ISO，80 mg·kg^-1·d^-1， 2 d） to induce a hyperlipidemia-based ischemic heart disease model. After successful modeling， the rats were randomly divided into the model group， high， medium， and low dose groups of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang， and the metoprolol group. The high， medium， and low dose groups of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang were given Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang at 10.42， 5.21， 2.61 g·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively， while the metoprolol group was given metoprolol at 2.6 mg·kg^-1·d^-1. Both the normal and model groups were given an equivalent volume of physiological saline for 28 days. After the intervention， relevant tests were conducted， and serum was collected to measure heart function-related indicators. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and Masson staining were performed on ventricular tissue to observe pathological changes under a light microscope. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was used to detect the positive expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule （CD31）. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the expression of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide （NT-proBNP） and VEGF. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of PI3K/mTOR/HIF-1α/VEGF. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed significantly increased serum levels of LDH， CK， CK-MB， NT-proBNP， and VEGF （P<0.01）， significantly increased collagen volume fraction （CVF） （P<0.01）， significantly decreased MVD （P<0.01）， and elevated protein expression levels of PI3K， mTOR， HIF-1α， and VEGF （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the metoprolol group had significantly lower serum levels of LDH， CK， CK-MB， and NT-proBNP （P<0.01）， significantly higher VEGF levels （P<0.01）， significantly decreased CVF （P<0.01）， significantly increased MVD （P<0.01）， and significantly increased protein expression levels of PI3K， mTOR， and VEGF （P<0.01）， with no statistically significant change in HIF-1α protein expression. Compared with the model group， the high and medium dose groups of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang had decreased serum levels of LDH， CK， CK-MB， and NT-proBNP （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased VEGF levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）， significantly reduced CVF （P<0.01）， increased MVD （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and significantly increased protein levels of PI3K， mTOR， HIF-1α， and VEGF （P<0.01）. In the low dose group of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang， compared with the model group， serum levels of LDH and NT-proBNP were decreased （P<0.05）， VEGF was increased （P<0.05）. Moreover， CVF was decreased （P<0.05）， and the protein expression levels of PI3K， mTOR， HIF-1α， and VEGF were significantly increased （P<0.01）. ConclusionGualou Xiebai Banxiatang can improve cardiac function， reduce myocardial pathological damage， enhance endothelial cell function， promote myocardial microvascular formation， and upregulate the expression of PI3K， mTOR， HIF-1α， and VEGF proteins in myocardial tissue in rats with ischemic myocardial injury.
