Objective:To report 1 case of mushroom poisoning complicated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome treated by liver transplantation, so as to explore surgical effectiveness and prognosis of liver transplantation on children mushroom poisoning.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed a child with mushroom poisoning who was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in June 2017.Conventional treatment was not ideal, the child was conducted orthotopic liver transplantation.The effectiveness was evaluated and the feasibility of liver transplantation in treating children mushroom poisoning with literatures was reviewed.Results:A male 2-year old child obtained, preo-perative Child-pugh class for C. This child recovered well postoperatively, the jaundice disappeared, and liver enzyme and blood coagulation function improved significantly within 1 week after liver transplantation.However, the head magnetic resonance imaging presented brain atrophy and ventricular expansion, with intelligence and athletic ability being significantly behind his peers through postoperative regular follow-up for 2 years.Conclusion:Fulminant hepatic failure that was caused by mushroom poisoning is an indication for liver transplantation, and orthotopic liver transplantation is an effective method for the treatment of mushroom poisoning, which can effectively improve liver function, metabolic disorders and blood coagulation function for children with mushroom poisoning, but nervous system damage that was caused by mushroom poisoning is irreversible.Although liver transplantation technology successfully cured liver failure, it still left severe neurological sequelae.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Danggui Shaoyao San(DSS) on cognitive function and neuronal apoptosis in vascular dementia (VD) rats.Methods:Fifty SPF grade male SD rats aged 6-7 weeks were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, positive drug group (nimodipine group, 9.45 mg·kg -1), DSS low-dose group (1.6 g·kg -1), DSS high-dose group (6.4 g·kg -1) according to random number table, with 10 rats in each group. The VD rat model was established by permanent ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries. Seven days after modeling, the rats in different groups were administrated by gavage according to corresponding interventions, once a day, for 28 days. Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability of rats.The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in hippocampal area of rat brain were detected by ELISA.The protein expressions of apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved Caspase-3 and leptin receptor/glycogen synthase kinase 3β microtubule-associated protein tau(LEP-R/GSK-3β/tau) signaling pathway were detected by Western blot. GraphPad Prism 9 software was used for statistical analysis of data, repeated measure ANOVA and one-way ANOVA were used for comparison between multiple groups, and SNK- q test was used for further pairwise comparison. Results:The results of water maze experiment showed that the time and group interaction of escape latency of the five groups were not significant ( F=1.223, P>0.05), the main effect of group and time were significant ( F=74.65, 18.32, both P<0.05). On the 5th day, the escape latency of nimodipine group, DSS low-dose group and DSS high-dose group were lower than that of model group ( q=14.425, 7.477, 21.392, all P<0.05), and that of DSS high-dose group was lower than that of nimodipine group ((15.28±2.46)s, (22.78±3.31)s, q=6.966, P<0.05). There was statistically significant difference in the number of crossing platforms of rats in 5 groups ( F=17.331, P<0.05). The numbers of platform crossing in nimodipine group and DSS high-dose group were higher than that in model group ( q=6.789, 10.635, 5.270, all P<0.05), and the number of platform crossing in DSS high-dose group was higher than that in nimodipine group ((6.84±1.63), (5.22±1.75), q=3.846, P<0.05). ELISA results showed that the levels of MDA, ROS and SOD in hippocampal tissues of rats in 5 groups were significantly different ( F=49.338, 38.518, 15.440, all P<0.05). The levels of MDA and ROS in hippocampus of DSS high-dose group were lower than those of model group ( q=16.061, 13.541, both P<0.05) and nimodipine group ( q=4.317, 5.162, both P<0.05), SOD level of DSS high-dose group was higher than those of model group ( q=8.179, P<0.05) and nimodipine group ( q=4.135, P<0.05). Western blot results showed that the levels of apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2/Bax and Caspase-3 were significantly different in the 5 groups ( F=30.692, 43.384, both P<0.01). The level of Bcl-2/Bax in DSS high-dose group was higher than that in model group ( q=10.562, P<0.05) and nimodipine group ( q=3.820, P<0.05), the level of Caspase-3 was lower than those of model group ( q=12.139, P<0.05) and nimodipine group ( q=7.734, P<0.05). The levels of LEP-R, p-GSK-3β, p-S404 tau and p-S202 tau expression level in hippocampal tissues of the 5 group were significantly different ( F=80.927, 59.230, 159.784, 105.923, all P<0.01). The levels of LEP-R and p-GSK-3β protein in nimodpine group and DSS high-dose group were higher than those in model group ( q=16.275, 20.104, both P<0.05; q=12.942, 17.257, both P<0.05), the levels of p-S404 Tau and p-S202 Tau in the two groups were lower than those in model group ( q=19.121, 27.456, both P<0.05; q=17.559, 22.780, both P<0.05). The levels of LEP-R(0.98±0.15), (0.86±0.14)) and p-GSK-3β((0.95±0.16)s, (0.82±0.13)) in DSS high-dose group were higher than those in nimodipine group ( q=3.829, 4.314, both P<0.05), the levels of p-S404 Tau((0.41±0.03)s, (0.58±0.07)) and p-S202 Tau((0.48±0.05)s, (0.59±0.06)) in DSS high-dose group were lower than those of nimodipine group ( q=8.335, 5.220, both P<0.05). Conclusion:DSS can improve the cognitive function of VD rats, and the mechanism may be related with reducing oxidative stress level, inhibiting neuronal apoptosis, and upregulating LEP-R/GSK-3β/Tau signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of inflammatory cells and clinical features in the prognosis of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The data of 163 cases of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ NSCLC patients treated with the ICIs in this hospital from January 1,2017 to December 31,2022 were collected.The CT examination was conducted after 6-8 weeks treatment.The pa-tients were divided into the objective remission group[complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR)]and non-objective remission group[stable disease (SD)+progressed disease (PD)],disease control group (CR+PR+SD) and non-disease control group (PD),persistent clinical benefit group (DCB) and non-DCB group.The differences in clinical features and inflammatory cells indicators were compared among the differ-ent groups.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was adopted to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the inflammatory cells indicators for DCB.The influencing factors analysis of progression free survival (PFS) time and overall survival (OS) time adopted the Cox regression analysis.Results The lymphocyte count (ALC) in the disease control group was higher than that in the non-disease control group.The neutro-phil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR),platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mononuclear lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were lower than those in the non-disease control group.The proportions of squamous cell carcinoma,stage Ⅲ,ECOG score 0-1 point,adverse reactions in the DCB group were higher than those in the non-DCB group (P<0.05),the PLT count,NLR,PLR and MLR were lower than those in the non-DCB group (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis results showed that PLT,NLR,PLR and MLR could serve as the indicators for pre-dicting DCB,the area under of ROC curve (AUC) was 0.633,0.602,0.635 and 0.604 respectively,the opti-mal cut off values were 187×109/L (P=0.004),5.0 (P=0.026),235 (P=0.003) and 0.35 (P=0.024) re-spectively.The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that non-squamous carcinoma including adenocar-cinoma (HR=1.565,95％CI:1.057-2.316) and other pathologic types (HR=2.285,95％CI:1.326-3.936),ECOG score 2-3 points (HR=2.375,95％CI:1.652-3.415),AMC≥0.65×109/L (HR=1.847,95％CI:1.160-2.938) and PLR≥235 (HR=1.557,95％CI:1.016-2.386) were the independent risk factors for short PFS.The ECOG score 2-3 points (HR=4.615,95％CI:2.882-7.391),AMC≥0.65×109/L (HR=5.161,95％CI:2.984-8.925) and PLR ≥235 (HR=1.732,95％CI:1.059-2.833) were the independent risk fac-tors for short OS (P<0.05),and having adverse reactions (HR=0.472,95％CI:0.294-0.757) was the independ-ent protective factor for short OS (P<0.05).Conclusion Lower PLT,AMC,NLR,MLR and PLR,higher ALC,squamous cell carcinoma,TNM stage Ⅲ,ECOG score 0-1 point and immunotherapy related adverse reactions could prompt that the prognosis is good in ICIs treating advanced NSCLC.PLT,NLR,PLR and MLR could serve as the indicators for predicting DCB.
