Objective To confirm the effects of statin therapy on mortality of patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). Methods PubMed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science andCochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for articles using the terms acute lung injury, ALI,acute respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS, statin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin updated to November 17,2015. Randomized controlled trial (RCT) or observational cohort studies investigating the effects of statin therapy onmortality in patients with ALI or ARDS were all identified, without date or language restriction. The control group wasgiven conventional treatment, while the experimental group was treated with statins additionally. The primary outcomewas in-hospital mortality. Meanwhile, ventilator-free day, intensive care unit (ICU)-free day, ICU length of stay (LOS)and ICU mortality were also analyzed. RevMan 5.2 and STATA 13 software were used for systematic review and Metaanalysis, and funnel plot was used to analyze the publication bias. Results A total of five trials including threerandomized controlled trials and two observational studies were included. Among 1636 patients enrolled in the study,there were 739 patients in experimental group, and 897 in control group. It was shown by Meta analysis that there was nosignificant difference in in-hospital mortality between experimental group and control group [relative risk (RR) = 0.96,95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.79-1.15, P = 0.63]. The subgroup analysis based on RCT and cohort study, or thesubgroup analysis of different statins showed that there was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality betweenthe experimental group and the control group (both P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in ventilator-freedays [mean difference (MD) = 1.41, 95%CI = -0.32-3.13, P = 0.11], ICU-free days (MD = -0.23, 95%CI = -1.61-1.15,P = 0.75), ICU length of stay (MD = -1.03, 95%CI = -6.55-4.50, P = 0.72), or ICU mortality (RR = 0.88, 95%CI =0.68-1.14, P = 0.33) between the experimental group and the control group. It was shown by funnel plot that there was nopublication bias in in-hospital mortality. Conclusion The systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that statin may not be associated with a significant reduction in mortality, ventilator-free day, ICU-free day and ICU length of stayin patients with ALI/ARDS.

Background The incidence of dry eye is gradually increased,and researches showed that inflammation participated in the pathogenesis and development of dry eye.The current therapy for dry eye can only relieve symptom but not achieve final cure.Stem cell therapy has been used in the treatment of limbal stem cell deficiency.However,whether it is feasible for the stem cell treating dry eye is still unclear.Objective This study attempted to investigate a new approach to treat dry eye syndrom by using human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs).Methods The use and care of experimental animals complied with the Tsinghua University School of Medicine Laboratory Animal Care Details.HUCMSCs were cultured and cell suspension was prepared with the cell density of 5×105/ml.Twenty 24-week-old male NOD/Ltj mice were randomized into 4 groups.0.1 ml PBSHUCMSCs suspension was injected via tail vein or lacrimal respectively in the caudal vein injection group and lacrimal injection group,and 10 μ1 PBS-HUCMSCs suspension was topically administed in the eye drops group.The NOD/Ltj mice without any treatment served as the model group.Five male ICR mice were used as the normal control group.Tear secretion was quantitatively detected with phenol red cotton thread in 1,2,3 weeks after injection,and corneal epithelial defect was scored by fluorescein staining.The serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6,IL-17a,tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-αt) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were assayed by ELISA.The relative expression levels of p65,Stat3,Stat5 and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (Erk)-1 in lacrimal gland were detected by Western blot.Results The tear secretion amount was significantly different among the model group,caudal vein injection group,lacrimal injection group and eye drops group in various time points (1 week:F =3.700,P =0.040;2 weeks:F =5.150,P =0.008;3 weeks:F=10.130,P<0.001).The tear secretion amount was increased in the caudal vein injection group and lacrimal injection group compared with the model group in different time points (all at P<0.05),and no significant difference was seen in tear secretion amount between eye drops group and model group among various time points (all at P>0.05).The fluorescein staining score was 3.00±0.63,9.40±1.62,5.20±1.17,4.20±1.17 and 7.20±0.98 in the ICR mouse control group,model group,caudal vein injection group,lacrimal injection group and eye drops group 1 week after injection respectively,and the scores were significantly lower in the caudal vein injection group,lacrimal injection group and eye drops group than those in the model group (P =0.001,0.000,0.033).The serum levels of IL-6,IL-17a and TNF-α in the caudal vein injection group were evidently lower than those in the model group (t =4.70,3.46,11.0,all at P<0.01),but no significant difference was displayed in the serum IFN-γ level among the five groups (F=1.740,P=0.170).The expressions of STAT5 were significantly decreased in the mice treated with tail vein injection and lacrimal injection compared with mice without treatment (both at P<0.05).Conclusions Administration of HUCMSCs via intravenous and lacrimal injection can alleviate the inflammatory response during progression of dry eye syndrome by down-regulating the serum level and expression of inflammation-related factors in NOD/Ltj mice.The topical administration of HUCMSCs eye drops can attenuate the symptom of dry eyes by lubricating the cornea and suppling nutrition.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2022;29(1):106-110
Objective:To investigate the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma.Methods:100 patients with inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma who received treatment in the Department of Oncology, Zhejiang Quhua Hospital, between March 2018 and March 2021, were included in this study. These patients were divided into < 5 cm group (control group, n = 65) and ≥ 5 cm group (observation group, n = 35) according to maximum tumor diameter. Routine ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography findings were compared between the two groups. Results:Pathological findings and immunohistochemical staining results confirmed all patients had inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma. There were 65 patients with maximum tumor diameter < 5 cm in the control group and 35 patients with maximum tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm in the observation group. Routine ultrasonography findings revealed there were no significant differences in internal echo, border, shape, and blood flow distribution between control and observation groups ( χ2 = 0.45, 0.08, 3.12, 3.54, all P > 0.05). In the control group, 56 (86.15%) patients had a uniform echo and 9 (13.85%) patients had an uneven echo. In the observation group, 19 (54.29%) patients had a uniform echo and 16 (45.71%) patients had an uneven echo. There were significant differences in the number of patients having a uniform echo or an uneven echo between the two groups ( χ2 = 12.32, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in contrast-enhanced ultrasonography results in terms of arterial phase enhancement mode, portal phase enhancement performance, delayed phase enhancement performance, and presence of a vessel sign under the capsule between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.65, 0.40, 1.75, 2.07, all P > 0.05). In the control group, 55 (84.62%) patients had a uniformly contrast-enhanced area, and 10 (15.38%) patients had a non-uniformly contrast-enhanced area, in the arterial phase at the peak intensity. In the observation group, 16 (45.71%) patients had a uniformly contrast-enhanced area, and 19 (54.29%) patients had a non-uniformly contrast-enhanced area, in the arterial phase at the peak intensity. There was a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 16.52, P < 0.05). No patients from the control group had an internal perfusion defect, and 12 (34.29%) patients from the observation group had an internal perfusion defect. There was significant difference in the number of patients having an internal perfusion defect ( χ2 = 25.32, P < 0.05). High contrast enhancement in the arterial phase appeared in two groups. Conclusion:Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography can display the imaging features of inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma, which reflects the hemodynamic differences among foci of different sizes and helps diagnose and treat inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma.
