The receptor-interacting protein (RIP) has been identified to play a critical role in necroptosis, which is an inflammatory form of programmed necrosis in trauma, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Ripoptosome, a newly defined intracellular signaling complex with essential molecule of RIP1, can switch cell death mode between apoptosis and necroptosis. Based on molecular mechanism of RIP-dependent cell death and inflammation, with the understanding of the mechanisms of RIP-dependent apoptosis/necroptosis and its role in inflammation was summed up, and it was found that RIP plays a crucial role in regulating programmed cell death and inflammation. Therefore, further advances in understanding the mechanisms of necroptosis would be important in order to manipulate programmed cell death for therapeutic purposes in I/R injury, trauma, SIRS, and tumor.

Objective To analyze prognostic factors of surgical treatment for elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer,in order to provide a theoretic basis for improving the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Methods Clinical data of 145 elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer who had received surgical treatment at our hospital from January 2012 to September 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The survival rates of patients were investigated.Results The median survival time was 31.5 months,and 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates were 61.4％,45.5％ and 40％,respectively.Single factor analysis showed that lesion size,number of metastatic lymph nodes,clinical stage,pathological type and radiotherapy were among the factors affecting prognosis.Multiple COX regression analysis showed that a lesion size ＞3cm,number of lymph nodes with metastasis ＞ 2 and pathological type were independent risk factors for patient prognosis,and radiotherapy was a protective factor for prognosis.Conclusions Surgical treatment has good curative effects on non-small cell lung cancer in elderly patients.Lesion size,number of lymph nodes with metastasis,pathological type and radiotherapy are important factors affecting prognosis,and can be used for prognosis assessment.

Objective To compare the incidence of cardiopulmonary complications between treatment of video assisted thoracoscopic operation and traditional thoracotomy operation in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Methods 122 cases of elderly patients with non small cell lung cancer were treated in our hospital from Mar 2010 to Jun 2014,and randomly divided into observation group (therapeutic lobectomy by video assisted thoracoscopic operation) and control group (therapeutic lobectomy by traditional thoracotomy operation) (n=61,each).The postoperative cardiopulmonary complications and relevant indexes of cardiopulmonary function were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results Before operation,there was no significant difference in the relevant indexes of cardiopulmonary function between the two groups (P＞0.05).After operation,the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and maximal ventilatory volume (MMV) were higher and the heart rate was lower in observation group than in control group (t=3.682,2.243,5.677,all P＜0.05).The incidence of cardiopulmonary complication was lower in observation group than in control group (13.1％ vs.27.9％,x2 =4.075,P=0.044).Conclusions Video assisted thoracoscopic operation is better for the recovery of cardiopulmonary function,and can reduce cardiopulmonary complication in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective To assess the effects of eszopiclone (ESZ) on the pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping time and spontaneous activity in mice exposed to acute hypobaric hypoxia.Methods 120 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups by using two factors 2×3 levels factorial design,in which two factors were interventions (ESZ and 0.9％ sodium chloride,2 levels) and altitudes (800 m,3500 m and 6000 m,3 levels).The pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping test and the open field test were engaged to assess the effects of ESZ on sleeping time and spontaneous activity.Results (1) The drug and altitude had no interaction in the results of both the pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping test and the open field test(P＞0.05).(2)The time of pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping of mice in the groups of ESZ at each altitudes were (37.77± 18.22) min,(37.02± 13.67) min,(95.67±47.68)min and in the groups of NS were(17.78± 14.10) min,(15.09± 12.46) min,(39.54±28.24) min respectively,and the sleep time in ESZ groups were significantly longer than those in the groups of NS (P＜0.05).The time of pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping were longer in group of 6000 m than those in the other two groups,both the ESZ and NS groups (P＜0.05).(3)No significant difference was found in the open field test between the ESZ and NS groups in the same altitude(P＞0.05) ; while the mice at the altitude of 6000 m in groups of ESZ and NS decreased compared with the groups at the altitude of 800 m after the relevant drugs intra-perineally for 6 h (P＜0.05).Conclusion ESZ may prolong pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping time especially at the altitude of 6000 m and with no influence on the spontaneous activity in mice exposed to acute hypobaric hypoxia.High altitude at 6000 m may prolong the sleep time induced by pentobarbital sodium and reduce the spontaneous activities.

Objective To evaluate the early emergency management process for severe pelvic fractures combined with multiple trauma. Methods The study involved 113 patients with severe pelvic fractures combined with multiple trauma treated from January 2007 to May 2011.The patients were divided into two groups,ie,before trauma team establishment (26 patients treated from January 2007 to May 2008) and after trauma team establishment (87 patients treated from June 2008 to May 2011 ) in accordance with the establishment period of trauma team in June 2008.The mortality was compared before and after application of trauma-team-based algorithm with damage control resuscitation,external fixation and angiographic embolization.Variables including age and gender distribution,ISS score,injury type and mechanism,transportation time,associated injury number,initial systolic pressure hemoglobin and blood transfusion were analyzed for study of their relation with mortality. Results After trauma team establishment,the mortality (23％) was significantly lower than before trauma team establishment (46％).The mortality showed significant relation to ISSN score and over two regions of associated injury,but showed no correlation with age and gender distribution,injury type and mechanism,transportation time initial systolic pressure hemoglobin,and blood transfusion. Conclusion The application of trauma team is effective in treatment of severe pelvic fractures combined with multiple trauma and can decrease the mortality.

Objective To investigate the causes of severe H1N1 Flu with multiple organ dysfunction, and measures to reduce mortality. Method The data of the patient, who was diagnosed as severe H1N1 Flu and mul-tiple organ dysfunction syndrome in First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University in September 2009, were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was male, 35 year-old, obese, high fever, sore throat, cough, progressive dyspnea, severe hypoxemia and hypotension. Effective measures were carried out, including protective lung ventilation, recruitment maneuver, vasopressor support, limited fluid resuscitation, appropriate corticosteroid, anfiviral plasma, anticoagulafion and antiviral medicine (Oseltamivir)in early stage and full dose. Results After one-month intensive care, clinical symptoms was improved obviously, oxygen pressure reached 74 mmHg without oxygen supply, CT scan showed diffused interstitial ehange. Neuromyopathy developed at approximately 3 weeks after the onset of H1N1. Conclusions H1N1 Flu can develop in healthy adults, and obesity is one of the inde-pendent risk factors. Effective measures should be taken as soon as possible to reduce the mortality.

Objective To analysis the immunological characteristics of patients with severe H1N1 influenza A, and to provide theoretical basis for predicting the prognosis of the disease. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted. The clinical data of 15 patients diagnosed with severe H1N1 influenza A and admitted to Shanghai General Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from October 2015 to December 2016 were collected. All the patients were divided into survival and death groups according to 28-day survival. Clinical characteristics, treatment algorithm, organ function, inflammatory reaction and immune cell status were compared, and Cox regression was used to decide the risk factors of 28-day death in patients with severe H1N1 infection A. Results All 15 patients with severe H1N1 infection A were enrolled, most of who presented with cough (93.3%), fever (86.7%), sputum production (80.0%), shortness of breath (73.3%), myalgia (40.0%) and fatigue (40.0%). All had been received anti-virus, antibiotics, mechanical ventilation and anti-coagulation therapy; some were treated with prone position, neuromuscular blocker and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The incidences of acute myocardial and kidney injury were high, and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score (14.1±6.1) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score (9.6±4.1) implicated the critical condition. Of 15 patients, 4 patients died in 28 days, while 11 were cured and discharged. Compared with survival group, the patients in death group had higher levels of APACHE Ⅱscore (22.7±3.8 vs. 11.8±3.8), troponin [cTn (μg/L): 0.52 (0.07, 2.02) vs. 0.15 (0.10, 0.45)] and blood urea nitrogen [BUN (mmol/L): 11.9 (6.7, 29.1) vs. 3.9 (2.7, 6.8)] and a lower level of blood platelets count [PLT (×109/L): 76±33 vs. 146±49, all P < 0.05]. The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) within 24 hours of admission in death group were significantly higher than those of survival group [CRP (mg/L): 172.2±88.5 vs. 74.8±33.1, IL-6 (ng/L):283.3 (140.1, 711.0) vs. 18.5 (12.7, 71.4), both P < 0.01]. Compared with survival group, the expressions of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ T cells and natural killer cell (NK cell) in death group were significantly decreased (CD3+ T cell: 0.348±0.119 vs. 0.573±0.106, CD4+ T cell: 0.135±0.046 vs. 0.344±0.098, CD8+ T cell: 0.089±0.057 vs. 0.208±0.054, NK cell: 0.124±0.057 vs. 0.252±0.182, all P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences in CD4+/CD8+ ratio and human leucocyte antigen-DR positive (HLA-DR+) T cell between death group and survival group (CD4+/CD8+ ratio:1.57±0.26 vs. 1.83±0.54, HLA-DR+ T cell: 0.035±0.022 vs. 0.062±0.036, both P > 0.05). B lymphocyte in death group was significantly higher than that of survival group (0.477±0.136 vs. 0.229±0.121, P < 0.01). Cox regression analysis revealed that APACHE Ⅱ score [risk ratio (RR) = 20.4, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 5.3-31.2, P = 0.017], CD4+ T cell (RR = 11.1, 95%CI = 5.1-20.0, P = 0.048) and CD8+ T cell (RR = 9.1, 95%CI = 4.3-16.7, P = 0.049) were independently risk factors of 28-day survival of patients with severe H1N1 influenza A. Conclusion Immunological paralysis and severe inflammatory response were early complicated with severe H1N1 influenza A, and these were significantly associated with prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic effect of different ratios of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to packed red blood cells (PRBC) in massively transfused trauma patients.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted for 210 trauma patients who received more than 10 units of PRBC during the initial 24 hours from January 2007 to June 2015.The patients were divided into four groups:Group A(PRBC:FFP ≤1,n=41),GroupB (1 ＜PRBC:FFP≤1.5,n=63),GroupC(1.5＜PRBC:FFP≤2,n=30) and Group D (PRBC:FFP ＞2,n =76).At 24 hours after admission,blood transfusion amount,blood transfusion ratios,post-transfusion adverse reactions (allergy,non-hemolytic febrile transfusion reaction,hemolysis,congestive heart failure,pulmonary edema,etc) and coagulation changes [hemoglobin (Hb),platelet count (PC),prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),international normalized ratio (INR),etc] were compared among groups.Prognostic markers including sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA),hospital stay,ICU stay,30-day mortality and causes of death were also evaluated.Results Use of PRBC was decreased significantly in Group A than in other groups (P ＜ 0.01),and there were no differences in blood transfusion adverse reactions among all groups (P ＞ 0.05).The coagulation indices (PT,APTT and INR) in Groups A and B were significantly decreased compared to Group D after transfusion (P ＜ 0.05).There were no differences in length of hospital stay and ICU stay among all groups (P ＞ 0.05).Group D was associated with higher SOFA and higher 30-day mortality than other groups(P ＜0.01),but no differences were found in Group A,B and C (P ＞0.05).Meanwhile,ratio of patients died of massive hemorrhage in Group D was also higher than other groups (P ＜0.01).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the survival interval was the shortest in Group D,while the longest in Group B and C.Conclusions Modest transfusion ratios (1.5 ＜ PRBC:FFP ≤2)within 24 hours can substantially improve outcomes in trauma patients.Aggressive ratios may improve coagulation indices and reduce use of PRBC,with no more benefit to the outcomes.

Objective By means of animal study,investigated the gut barrier function in severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP),and role of inflammatory factors releasing,gut mucosa oxidative stress,cell apoptosis in it.Methods The animal experiment was done in the animal center of first people' s hospital,shanghai jiaotong university.Twenty four BALB/c mice were randomized ( random number) divided into two groups with twelve mice each group.The SAP group,mice received six intraperitoneal injections of cerulein at 1-hour intervals, the dose was 50μg/kg, then given one intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide ( LPS from E.Coli) for the induction of severe acute pancreatitis.The control ( sham operation) group,the mice received intraperitoneal injection of 2 ml normal saline for six times at 1-hour intervals.All the animals of each group were averaged to two batches,4 h and 8h after being operated respectively,to be anesthetized and adopted blood and tissue specimen.Then we observed the pathological change of pancreas and gut,scored it.We measured the blood value of diamine oxidase ( DAO),amylase and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).We detected content of malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione (GSH) and activity of xanthine oxidase (XO) in gut mucosa.We detected the casepase-3 activity and cell apopotosis by means of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) in gut mucosa,and conculated the apopotosis index (AI).Then using the PASW 18.0 software,we analyzed the data by anova and t-test,to make sure if the values were statistically different between the two groups and the mechanism of gut barrier dysfunction in panreatitis.Results At 4 h and 8 h after operation,the SAP-group-mice had significantly higher pancreas pathological score (P ＜0.01 ),blood amylase value ( P ＜ 0.05 ),gut pathological score and blood DAO and TNF-α value ( P ＜0.01 ),compared with the contral-group-mice.The gut mucosa MDA content and XO activity of mice in SAP group were significantly higher than which in control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ). The SAP-group-mice had significantly lower gut mucosa SOD content ( P ＜ 0.01 ) and GSH content ( P ＜ 0.05 ),compared with the contral-group-mice.The gut mucosa cells of mice in SAP group had significantly higher caspase-3 activity and apoptosis index than which in control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions In severe acute pancreatitis,inflammatory factors such as TNF-αwere waterfall-style released,induced gut mucosa suffer from ischemia-reperfusion injury,then serious oxidative stress developed in mucosa and activated caspase-3 pathway,inducing gut mucosa cells apoptose seriously,which was an important mechanism of gut barrier dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the role of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) in early diagnosis of acute traumatic intestinal rupture. Methods The patients with suspected acute traumatic intestinal rupture admitted in our emergency department from July 2010 to June 2011 were involved in the study.Their blood samples were taken on admission,1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24 and 48 hours after admission.All the patients were given closely medical observation and therapy,and were followed up in aspects of their clinical signs and imageology according to the present diagnosis and treatment routine.Surgical procedures would be carried out as soon as the diagnosis of intestinal rupture was confirmed and the duration between the admission and the final diagnosis was recorded.All the blood samples were determined for the IFABP concentration by means of ELISA.According to the final diagnosis results,the patients were divided into the intestinal rupture group and non-intestinal rupture group.The changes of IFABP concentration and its concentration difference between the two groups at different time points were compared. Results The study involved 33 patients,including 11 patients with confirmed intestinal rupture (intestinal rapture group) and 22 without intestinal rupture (non-intestinal rupture group).The average duration from hospitalization to the final diagnosis in the intestinal rapture group was (7.0 ±2.0) hours.At all the given time points,the IFABP concentration in the intestinal rupture group was significantly higher than that in the non-intestinal rupture group (P ＜ 0.05 ).The IFABP concentration in the intestinal rupture group was ascended on admission,reached the peak one hour later and maintained the level till the surgery,while the IFABP concentration was relatively stable in the non-intestinal rupture group within 24 hours after admission. Conclusion IFABP is the index for early diagnosis of acute traumatic intestinal rupture.
