Objective: To analyze relative risk factors of hyperamylasemia after open-heart surgery, and provide basis for clinical prevention and treatment. Methods: A total of 521 adult patients, who received open-heart surgery under general anesthesia and low temperature in our hospital from Jan 1, 2013 to Jun 30, 2013, were selected. The 2ml peripheral venous blood was taken in each patient instant after ICU hospitalization, 24h, 48h and 72h after surgery, then serum was separated and measured for serum amylase level by Somogyi method. According to the measured results of serum amylase level, patients were divided into hyperamylasemia group (serum amylase≥500U/dl, n=76) and non- hyperamylasemia group (serum amylase<500 U/dl, n=445). Single factor and gradual Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze risk factors of hyperamylasemia in patients after open-heart surgery. Results: Gradual Logistic regression analysis indicated that cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and hypotension during operation, renal dysfunction and infection after operation were independent risk factors for postoperative hyperamylasemia (OR=1.02~4.12, P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusion: During perioperative treatment of open-heart surgery, shortening CPB time, avoiding hypotension during surgery, protecting renal function and preventing infection may reduce morbidity of postoperative hyperamylasemia and improve prognosis of patients.

Objective:To access the benefits and harms of remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods:An electronic and manual search of literature published before Mar 2020 was conducted using Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials(RCTs), CNKI, CBM, WanFang and VIP. 23 studies involving in 5 025 participants were included. Patients were randomly assigned to either remote ischemic preconditioning group(n=2 524) or control group(n=2 521). Remote ischemic preconditioning consisted of 3-4 cycles of lower limbs or upper limbs ischemia and reperfusion with an automated cuff inflator. Clinical data and the levels of injury biomarkers were collected. The main outcomes were the incidence of adverse events, mortality in the hospital, and the post-operative troponin concentration. The effective values of dichotomous variables or continuous variables were estimated by Relative risk( RR) or by mean differences( MD), standardized mean differences( SMD) with 95% confidence intervals( CI) respectively. Results:In general risk of bias varied from low to moderate risk of bias across included studies, and insufficient detail was provided to inform judgement in several cases. There were no significant differences between the two groups with regard to all-cause mortality in hospital( RR=1.27, 95% CI: 0.84-1.91, P=0.26), no-fatal myocardial infarction( RR=0.92, 95% CI: 0.79-1.07, P=0.27) , new stroke( RR=0.96, 95% CI: 0.61-1.50, P=0.84), new atrial fibrillation( RR=0.98, 95% CI: 0.83-1.15, P=0.77) and acute renal failure( RR=1.01, 95% CI: 0.90-1.14, P=0.83). Conclusion:There is no evidence that RIPC has a treatment effect on clinical outcomes(measured as all-cause mortality in hospital, no-fatal myocardial infarction, new stroke, new atrial fibrillation, and acute renal failure). More research should be designed to confirm the effect of RIPC on myocardial protection with cardiopulmonary bypass.

BACKGROUND:Research on rough-surfaced implants has demonstrated similar survival rates for short and conventional-length implants. It is not clear whether ultrashort implant in limited alveolar bone of the posterior maxila can achieve good clinical results. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical effect of ultrashort implants in limited alveolar bone of the posterior maxila. METHODS:Eighteen patients with 21 ultrashort implants in limited alveolar bone of posterior maxila (the mean residual alveolar height=3.19 mm) were included in the study, including 10 males and 8 females, aged 25-68 years. At 12 months after restoration, the patients were detected with cone-beam CT to evaluate the osseointegration and marginal bone level around the implant. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the 18 patients completed the 12-month folow-up, and the 21 pieces of implants had good osseointegration. No soft tissue inflammation was found. At 12 months after restoration, the marginal bone height in the mesial and distal was (-0.21±0.78) mm and (-0.16±0.55) mm, respectively. Implant marginal bone changes in the mesial and distal had no statistical difference (P > 0.05). Ultrashort implants in limited alveolar bone of the posterior maxila can have good osseointegration, maintain the marginal bone mass around the implant, but stil need long-term clinical observation.

BACKGROUND:Many experiments and clinical studies have reported that venous blood, absorbable colagen sponge and rich fibrin clot, without the use of bone graft material, can al promote new bone formation; therefore, whether only transplanting concentrated growth factor in the maxilary sinus lift could effectively promote bone regeneration? OBJECTIVE: To conduct the maxilary sinus lift with concentrated growth factor as the graft material, and to observe the peri-implant bone level change. METHODS: Totaly 26 patients were involved, including 14 males and 12 females, aged 35-73 years. Maxilary sinus lift was conducted and autologous concentrated growth factor was taken as the graft material. Astra Tech implants were implanted simultaneously. Patients were divided into 6-12 months, 13-18 months and > 18 months groups according to the folow-up time. Patients were divided into≤ 5 mm, 5-7 mm, and≥ 7 mm groups according to the preoperative alveolar bone height. Patients were divided into≤ 2 mm, 2.0-3.0 mm, and≥3 mm groups according to the postoperative maxilary sinus lift height. The survival rate of implants and marginal bone level changes were observed during the folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totaly 44 implants were implanted, of which 43 implants were considered as successful repair during the 6-18 months of postoperative folow-up. The survival rate of implants was 98%. There were no significant differences in the changes of mesial, distal and middle marginal bone levels between different folow-up time groups. The maxilary sinus lift with transplantation of concentrated growth factor resulted in a good osseointegration within 6-18 months post-operation. In addition, no significant differences were found in the changes of mesial, distal and middle marginal bone levels between different residual alveolar bone height groups, as wel as between different maxilary sinus lift height groups. It showed that the residual alveolar bone height and maxilary sinus lifting height had no significant effect on the peri-implant bone formation. Briefly, these findings demonstrate that the maxilary sinus lift with concentrated growth factor transplantation can result in a high survival rate of implants that are simultaneous implanted, and the alveolar bone around the implant is stable. But the long-term effect needs further observation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of Biejia Decoction Pill on the proliferation, migration, and aerobic glycolysis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using cell experiments, as well as related mechanisms. MethodsHuman liver cancer cell line Huh7 was selected, and Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank serum group, inhibitor group, and high-, middle-, and low-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups. Rat serum containing the drug was prepared for the incubation of Huh7 cells. CCK8 assay and scratch assay were used to explore the effect of Biejia Decoction Pill on the proliferation and migration of HCC cells; glycolytic rate-limiting enzymes and metabolites were measured to explore the effect of Biejia Decoction Pill on aerobic glycolysis of liver cancer cells; RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to explore the effect of Biejia Decoction Pill on the mRNA expression, related proteins, and phosphorylation of the protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test or the Dunnett’s T3 test were used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the blank serum group, the Biejia Decoction Pill groups had significant reductions in OD value, migration rate during different periods of time, glycolytic rate-limiting enzymes (hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase), and glycolytic metabolites (pyruvate, lactic acid, ATP) (all P<0.05). RT-qPCR results showed that compared with the blank serum group, the high-, middle-, and low-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups had a significant reduction in the mRNA expression level of mTOR, and the high- and low-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups had a significant reduction in the mRNA expression level of AKT (all P<0.05). Western blot results showed that compared with the blank serum group, the high-, middle-, and low-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups had significant reductions in the expression levels of mTOR-related proteins and phosphorylated proteins, and the high- and middle-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups had significant reductions in the expression levels of AKT-related proteins and phosphorylated proteins (all P<0.05). ConclusionThis study preliminarily verifies that the serum containing Bijia Decoction Pill can inhibit the aerobic glycolysis of human hepatoma Huh7 cells, thereby inhibiting their proliferation and migration, possibly by inhibiting the expression of the proteins related to the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of rhubarb decoction (RD) retention enema on a rat model of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) and its mechanism of action based on bile acid (BA) metabolomics. MethodsA total of 55 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank group (NC group with 10 rats), hepatic encephalopathy group (HE group with 15 rats), MHE group with 15 rats, and MHE+rhubarb decoction treatment group (MHEY group with 15 rats). Intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and thioacetamide (TAA) was performed to establish a rat model of MHE or HE, and the rats were sacrificed after 2 weeks of administration. The serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBil), and total bile acid (TBA) and the concentration of blood ammonia were measured; the colonic contents were collected to measure pH value; liver and brain tissue samples were collected, and HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the liver; the bile was collected, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to perform BA-targeted metabolomics analysis. Continuous data were expressed as mean±standard deviation; a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the NC group, the HE group and the MHE group had a significant increase in searching platform latency (after modelling and after administration) and a significant reduction in the number of platform crossings (all P<0.05); compared with the MHE group, the MHEY group had a significant reduction in searching platform latency (after administration) and a significant increase in the number of platform crossings, and the HE group had a significant increase in searching platform latency and a significant reduction in the number of platform crossings (all P<0.05). Compared with the NC group, the HE group and the MHE group had significant increases in AST, ALT, ALP, TBil, TBA, blood ammonia, and colon pH value (all P<0.05); compared with the MHE group, the MHEY group had significant reductions in AST, ALT, ALP, TBil, TBA, blood ammonia, and colon pH value (all P<0.05), and the HE group had significant increases in AST, ALT, ALP, TBil, TBA, blood ammonia, and colon pH value (all P<0.05). The MHE group had significantly lower TBA, primary BA, and secondary BA than the NC group (all P<0.05); compared with the MHE group, the HE group had significantly lower TBA and primary BA (all P<0.05), and the MHEY group had significantly higher TBA and primary BA (all P<0.05). Compared with the NC group, the MHE group had significant reductions in GCDCA, GUDCA, GHDCA, TCDCA, TUDCA, GLCA, and TLCA (all P<0.05) and significant increases in γ-MCA, THCA, 7-KDCA, AlloLCA, and α-MCA (all P<0.05), and compared with the MHE group, the MHEY group had significant increases in THDCA, TMCA, TCDCA, TUDCA, and TLCA (all P<0.05). ConclusionRD retention enema can improve liver injury and cognitive function in a rat model of MHE induced by CCl4 and TAA by regulating the enterohepatic circulation of BA, possibly by increasing the synthesis of taurine-binding BA.
