Objective To investigate the influence of double-effect activation of cholinergic antiinflammatory pathway on the liver injury and inflammatory response in obstructive jaundice rats by applying cholinesterase inhibitor and cholinergic M receptor blocker to activate alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.Methods 22 adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into three groups:sham operation (SO) group (n=6),bile duct ligation (BDL) induced obstructive jaundice with (BDL treatment group) or without treatment (BDL control group) (n=8 each).The medicine treatment group was given anisodamine (25 mg/kg) and neostigmine (25 μg/kg) daily via intraperitoneal injection after surgery,the control group was given equal amount of normal saline.The body weights of rats in each group were measured every other day.After 12 days,the rats were killed,and the pathological changes of liver injury,liver function and the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the serum and liver tissue were observed.Results The body weight of BDL rats was significantly lower than the SO group rats,and the growth rate of BDL treatment group rats was the same as the rats in BDL control group 3 days after the starting of treatment.The AST,ALT,bilirubin and gamma-GT levels of BDL control and treatment groups were significantly higher than the SO group (P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between BDL control and treatment groups.The serum albumin level of BDL treatment group was obviously higher than that of BDL control group,but the pathological liver injury was significantly slighter.The gene expression levels of TNF-alpha,IL-1 beta and IL-6 in the liver tissue were significantly higher in BDL groups than SO group (P＜0.05),but BDL treatment group was significantly lower than BDL control group (P＜0.05).In addition the serum TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta concentrations of BDL treatment group and control group were significantly higher than the SO group (P＜0.05),but the BDL treatment group was obviously lower than that BDL control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The combine application of cholinesterase inhibitor and cholinergic M receptor blocker to activate the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway can significantly inhibit the obstructive jaundice induced proinflammatory gene expression and liver injury.

Objective: To evaluate short-term effect and risk factors for the timing of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in high risk coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Methods: A total of 197 high risk CAD patients received IABP with CABG in our hospital from 2010-01 to 2015-12 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 91 (46.2%) male and the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was (70.3±8.2) mmHg. Based on IABP implantation time, the patients were divided into 2groups: Pre-operative IABP group,n=89 and Intra- , post-operative IABP group,n=108. Peri-operative condition, durations of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay were compared between 2 groups; survival condition was studied by Kaplan-Meier analysis; risk factors causing 30-day mortality was assessed by Logistic regression analysis and its sensitivity and specialty was measured by ROC curve. Results: The mean durations for aortic clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass were (86.7±37.3) min and (147.3±18.4) min in all 197 patients. The age, gender, blood levels of CK-MB c-TnI, creatinine, MAP and European cardiac surgery system scoring were similar between 2 groups, allP>0.05. Compared with Intra- , post-operative IABP group, Pre-operative IABP group had decreased CK-MB (130.6±25.4) mmol/L vs (149.7±18.2) mmol/L at 48h post-operation and mechanical ventilation time (81.5±10.3) h vs (107.9±11.5) h, less in-hospital stay (21.3±4.1) d vs (27.7±9.4) d, reduced acute kidney injury (3.4% vs 23.1%), brain complication (5.6% vs 19.4%) and 30-day mortality (4.5% vs 36.1%), allP<0.05. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the median survival time was longer in Pre-operative IABP group, (27.9±1.2 vs 16.5±2.2) dP<0.05; Logistic regression analysis and ROC curve demonstrated that IABP re-implantation (OR=2.37, 95% CI 1.42-5.72,P=0.01) was an important risk factor for 30-day mortality with the sensitivity of 75.3% and specialty of 67.4%. Conclusion: Pre-operative IABP implantation was helpful for decreasing post-operative level of CK-MB, reducing mechanical ventilation, in-hospital time and short-term mortality in high risk CAD patients; IABP re-implantation was the risk factor for short-term mortality.

Objective For benign or tumor of borderline malignancy in the distal pancreas,a spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy can be carried out.This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of this operation.Methods Between June 2009 and March 2012,7 patients underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy assisted by the da Vinci Robotic System (RDP) for benign or pancreatic tumor with borderline malignancy.The clinical data were analyzed.Results Robotic-assisted spleen-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy was successfully carried out in 6 patients,with robotic assisted splenectomy and distal pancreatectomy on the remaining patient.Among them,to the 6 patients with distal pancreatectomy,one patient received right adrenal tumor resection and another patient received cholecystectomy.The average operation time was 368 minutes,and the blood loss was 200 ml.One patient developed postoperative bleeding,and was treated conservatively with hemostatic drugs (grade Ⅱ).There was no conversion to laparotomy.According to the international pancreatic fistula research team's classification of postoperative pancreatic fistula,1 patients were diagnosed to have pancreatic fistula (grade A).The mean postoperative hospital stay was 8.7 days.There were no other complications.Conclusions Robotic-assisted spleen-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy was safe and feasible.The Kimura operation was used in spleen-preserving operations because its 3D visual field and stability in control helped to preserve splenic blood supply and reduced the chance of postoperative regional portal hypertension.

Objective Aprotinin has been suspended in cardiac surgery since risks factors associated with mortality and other adverse events in western Literatures.This study was to investigate the effect of aprotinin on short-term outcomes in cardiac surgery in Chinese patients.Methods Two groups of patients who underwent cardiac surgery during equal period just before and after aprotinin was suspended in China.Aprotinin groupp(n=1699) was defined as operations from june 19,2007 to Dec 18,2007,when aprotinin was used in all the patients.Control group(n=2225)was defined as operations from Dec19,2007 to June 18,2008,when aprotinin was not umed.Postoperative outcomes between the two groups,including blood loes and transfusion requirement,in-hospital mortality and major adveme outcome events were compared,using univariate analysis and mulfivariable logistic regression analysis.Results Aprotinin group had less postoperative blood loes,transfusion requirement and reoperation for bleeching as compared with the control group.Application of aprotinin did not increase the risk of in-hospital mortality (0.5%vs.10%,P=0.08)and other major ad-verse events,including renal dysfunction,renal failure requiring dialysis,low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS),neurological and pulmonary complications.Aprltinin group also had and shorter mechanical ventilation time(P=0.04),a lowwer rate of delayed mechan-ical ventilation time(P=0.04)and a higher PaO2/FiO2 in the bolld gas analysis(P<0.001).which presented a better respiratory function.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis got identical results with univariate analysis.Conclusion The use of aprotinin in cardiac surgery could reduce blood loss and transfusion requirement significantly,and showed a protective effect on the lungs.In the mean time it did not increase the risk of mortality or major complications.We suggest further studies should be performed to make a decision of continuing or stopping the use of aprotinin in cardisc surgery in Chinese or Asian population.

Objective In order to improve the outcome of surgical treatment for atherosclerotic heart disease,we summarize our clinical experience of surgical treatment during the last four years and propose our therapeutic strategy.Methods A retrospective study was performed including consecutive 1052 patients receiving isolated or combined CABG surgery which was performed by a single surgical team from January 2006 through March 2010 at Fu Wai Hospital.Patients'characters were quantified by European score System for cardiac operative risk evaluation (EuroSCORE).Operative strategies were classified as candioplegic arrest,on-pump beating,isolated off-pump,and the hybrid procedures to treat the concomitnnt diseases,such as peripheral vascular disease,atrial fibrillation,congenital heart diseases,et al.Clinical data including the surgical indications,preoperative patient co-morbidity,postoperative clinical course,and perioperative outcomes were analyzed of.Results Patients showed a mean EuroSCORE of 3.4 ±2.6.There were 127 patients ( 12％ ) with a EuroSCORE ＞6.The mean age of the patients was(61.2 ± 9.5 ) years,ranging from 26 to 84 years.The overall in-hospital postoperative mortality rate was 0％,and all patients had an uneventful recovery course and discharged.The transfusion rate was 31.9％.950 patients (90.3％)were OPCAB and 102 (9.7％) were on-pump CABG.There were 87 patients underwent concomitant CABG and heart valvereplacement or repair.21 patients underwent hybrid procedure by simultaneous peripheral artery stenting and OPCAB,and 14patients underwent redo CABG.The Average number of distal anastomoses was 3.2 ±0.9,and the mean postoperative hospital stay was (7.7 ± 2.5 ) days.Fourteen patients had re-exploration for bleeding,8 with pneumonia,5 with acute renal insufficiency and 6 had intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) for cardiac dysfunction.All these patients recovered after proper treatment.Conulusion Surgical treatment for the coronary heart disease could achieve satisfactory curative effects by the individualized treatment,technological innovation and strengthen perioperative management.Excellent results and low major complications in the perioperative coupe could be expected through this strategy.

ObjectiveTo provide a basis for human enteroviruses prevention and control by monitoring the enterovirus （EV） and its main virus types. MethodsSamples of hand-foot-and-mouth disease， herpetic angina and fever clinic patients in Dapeng New District of Shenzhen from 2016 to 2022 were tested for EV with real-time polymerase chain reaction （PCR）. To identify the isolates of EV， VP1 genes of EV were amplified with nested reverse transcription PCR， and then sequenced.A geneticphylogenetic tree was constructed based on the VP1 gene. ResultsAmong the 1 124 suspected hand-foot-and-mouth disease cases， 740 （65.84%） tested EV positive. Coxsackievirus A6 （CVA6） and Coxsackievirus A16 （CVA16） were the main two serotypes with regular cycle trends. Of the 137 suspected herpetic angina cases， 88 （64.23%） were EV positive， with Coxsackievirus A4 （CVA4） and CVA16 as the dominant serotypes. Among 428 respiratory infection specimens， 71 （16.59%） were EV positive. Coxsackievirus A4 （CVA4） was the predominant serotype which caused herpetic angina and respiratory infection. The epidemic EV isolates CVA6 from Shenzhen had a close genetic relationship with isolates in China’s mainland. ConclusionThe main serotypes EV CVA6 and CVA16 which caused hand-foot-and-mouth disease exhibit cyclical trends . The risk of EV transmitted from abroad is low， but their genetic variation and virulence change should be monitored continuously. In addition， the monitoring of dominant isolates CVA4 which cause herpetic angina and respiratory infection should be strengthened.

ObjectiveTo determine the pathogenic characteristics and genotype of two outbreaks of herpangina in children in Dapeng New District， Shenzhen， in May 2021. MethodsA total of five throat swabs from children in the two outbreaks of herpangina were collected and examined for common enteroviruses by real-time PCR. The VP1 region was further amplified by nested RT-PCR. The CLUSTAL W program in MEGA7 software was used to conduct the alignment and reconstruct a phylogenetic tree. ResultsThe pathogen causing the 2 cluster outbreaks of herpangina was coxsackievirus A4 （CVA4）. The sequences of CVA4 VP1 genes revealed that a nucleotide identity of 92% between the strains in the two outbreaks. The three CVA4 strains isolated in kindergarten A had the closest phylogenetic relationship with that isolated in Shenzhen in 2018（MN840533）， with the nucleotide identity of 98.11%. The two strains in kindergarten B had the closest phylogenetic relationship with CVA4 strain isolated in Sichuan in 2018（MW178763）， with the nucleotide identity of 97.88%. The phylogenetic tree showed that all five CVA4 strains in this study belonged to the C2 genotype. ConclusionThe C2 genotype of CVA4 is the causative agent in both outbreaks of herpangina.

Objective     To analyze the results of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support in patients receiving coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and the risk factors of postoperative death. Methods     The clinical data of 334 patients undergoing CABG procedure and receiving IABP support in Fuwai Hospital from January 1999 to April 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the IABP insertion timing, the patients were divided into three groups: pre-, intra- and postoperative IABP groups. There were 45 males and 11 females aged 60.5±10.7 years in the preoperative IABP group, 84 males and 23 females aged 61.1±8.4 years in the intraoperative IABP group and 119 males and 52 females aged 61.4±8.5 years in the postoperative IABP group. Outcomes of the three groups were compared, including mortality, major complications, ICU stay, hospital stay and total costs. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to predict independent risk factors for postoperative in-hospital death. Results     The total in-hospital mortality was 16.8% (56/334). Mortality was significantly different among the pre-, intra- and postoperative IABP groups (3.6% vs. 23.4% vs. 17.0%, P=0.006). There was no significant difference in complications among the three groups (P=0.960). Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that independent risk factors for postoperative mortality included old age (OR=1.05, P=0.040), female (OR=3.34, P<0.001) and increasing left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD, OR=1.06, P=0.040). Preoperative IABP support was protective factor (OR=0.10, P=0.050). Conclusion     The results of IABP support in CABG   patients are satisfactory, and patients with preoperative IABP have a lower mortality. Risk factors for postoperative death include old age, female and increasing LVEDD. Preoperative IABP support is a protective factor.
