AIM:To study pentoxifylline(PTX) prevention against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits. METHODS: 50 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham operation groups, ischemia-reperfusion injury group(I/R), I/R+hypothermia group, I/R+PTX group and I/R +PTX+hypothermia group. Except the sham operation group, the rabbit left renal arteriae were blocked with bulldog clamps for 60 min. The left kidney was removed after 24 h. The activity of SOD, the content of MDA of kidney tissue homogenate, BUN and SCr in the blood were detected, meanwhile the pathological structure were observed. RESULTS: In I/R group, the renal tubule showed hydropic degeneration, hemorrhage and necrosis. A large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated in the hemorrhage and necrotic tissue. The mitochondria of the proximal convoluted tubule epithelium were shown to be swollen highly, and the crisallia extremely confused, vague, disappeared. The injury was reduced in I/R+PTX group and I/R+hypothermia group. It was normal in the I/R+PTX+hypothermia group and sham group. The BUN, SCr, MDA in I/R group rised obviously and the activity of SOD was reduced significantly 24 h after reperfusion( P 0.05). CONCLUSION: PTX has a protective effect against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate the injury caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on human renal tubular epithelial cell (HKC) and its effect on calcium oxalate (CaOxa) crystal crystallization time before and after the injury. Methods The injury degree of HKC by H2O2 was measured by detecting the cell survival rate and the concentration change of malonaldehyde (MDA). CaOxa crystallization was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results Control cells induced only a small amount of calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) crystals, while the injured cells not only induced calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals, but also increased the number and aggregation of CaOxa crystals. After incubating with CaOxa supersaturated solution, the control group HKC cells could be injured as well. Conclusions H2O2 can cause oxidative damage on HKC. The injured HKC promotes the nucleation and aggregation of COM crystals. In the body environment, the long-term presence of crystals in urinary tract is a risk factor for stone formation.

Objective To explore the toxicity and safety of 32P-CP-PLLA seeds interstitial implantation. Methods 30 beagle dogs were randomly divided into 10 groups according to different drugs (32P-CP-PLLA and 32P-CP),different doses (185, 370 and 740 MBq) and different sites (gluteus and liver). At different time-points after surgery, the weights of dogs were measured. The blood routine and blood biochemical indexes,PC Ⅲ ,HA,CG,PCⅣ and LN were examined. ECT imaging was performed and histology was observed dynamically. Blood, urine and faeces were measured continuously for 12 weeks and 30 days, respectively. Results ECT imaging demonstrated in seed groups and 32P-CP muscle groups radioactivity concentrated continuously in the area of implantation, without liver imaging. 471.67 MBq/m2 of 32 P-CP was injected in liver,while the absorbed dose was 31 Gy,without significant liver damage. When the dose was 794. 28 MBq/m2 , the absorbed dose was 56 Gy,with strong liver and systemic toxicity. But implanting seeds at the same or higher dose, the absorbed dose was 89.83-178.68 Gy in the area of implantation, and the rest liver was 1.09-2. 18 Gy,without liver damage. Dogs in liver group died at 23, 29 and 45 d, respectively, and the inspections of liver fibrosis were higher than the means of the other groups.Blood routine and blood biochemistry indexes between the other groups showed no significant differences.Effective half-life of 32P-CP-PLLA was 11.78 d, while that of 32P-CP was 6. 82 d in liver, and 8. 73 d in gluteus. Mild to moderate injury were found in liver group at 4 weeks. Moderate to serious injury were found. Liver cell necrosis and proliferation were found at 4-6 weeks in other liver groups. In muscle groups,only cellular edema was found in muscle groups at 2 week. The radioactivity count rate in blood for seed groups showed slowly jagged decreasing over time, and decreased exponentially for 32PCP groups. The radioactivity count rate in urine and faeces were multi-peak descending in seed groups. Conclusions 32P-CP-PLLA seeds have the advantages of suitable target location, degradable, non-migration and easy to protection, and it could be used in treatment for different blood supply types of solid tumors. Liver of beagle dog could endure the dose from 32 P-CP-PLLA seed twice as 32P-CP lethal dose.

Objective:
To investigate and compare the changes and associated factors of knowledge, attitude and practice of college students in Shanghai between the early 2020 and the end of 2021 stages of the COVID 19 epidemic and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide reference for epidemic prevention and health education of college students.
Methods:
A retrospective cross sectional survey was conducted among 913 college students in 12 colleges and universities in Shanghai in 2021 from November to December with a self designed questionnaire by multi stage stratified cluster sampling, so as to investigate the changes of college students health literacy related to COVID 19 and the changes of knowledge, attitude and practice between the early 2020 and the end of 2021 stages of the COVID 19 epidemic.
Results:
In the early stage of the epidemic, the average score of understanding of epidemic prevention and control policies was(2.93±0.94), information judgment was(3.10±0.89), satisfaction degree was(4.11± 1.09 ), cooperation degree was(4.31±0.96), communication intention was (3.91±1.15). By the end of 2021, the understanding of prevention and control policies was (2.95±0.98); Information judgment was (3.77±0.94), satisfaction degree was (4.22±1.10), cooperation degree was (4.36±0.99), communication intention was (3.97±1.20), there were significant changes at different stages ( P <0.01). The results of binary Logistic regression showed that majors of social sciences (OR=0.62), majors of natural sciences ( OR =0.62), self rated good health ( OR =0.62) and self rated relatively good health ( OR =0.28) were negatively correlated with college students cognition and attitude changes to the COVID 19 epidemic ( P <0.05), while the choice of "relatively consistent"( OR =3.31) in "change in health behavior according to reasonable health information" was positively correlated with knowledge and attitude changes ( P <0.05). Shanghai college students health literacy about epidemic prevention was generally high. 79.4% of them had a "relatively high" score (>80), and 82.6% of the students rated themselves "very well" and "relatively well" knew epidemic prevention.
Conclusion
Relatively high level of health literacy on epidemic prevention is observed among college students in Shanghai. There had been significant changes in their knowledge, attitude, and practice of the epidemic since the early stage. It is necessary to carry out more accurate and effective health education and dissemination according to different characteristics, so as to build the prevention and control barrier of epidemic among college students.

We describe a rare case of fetal mediastinal capillary hemangioma presenting as pleural effusion and a huge pleural occupying lesion during late pregnancy. The patient was admitted at 36 +3 weeks of gestation, with a fetal chest occupying lesion for 11 days. Routine prenatal ultrasound and MRI indicated right pleural effusion and a huge chest occupying lesion in the fetus. The woman was administered oxytocin and delivered a live baby boy at 36 +5 weeks of gestation. The baby was diagnosed as mediastinal hemangioma by postnatal CT, angiography and 3D reconstruction and was discharged after oral propranolol treatment. However, he was readmitted one month after birth due to "pneumonia and tachypnea". After multidisciplinary consultation, the baby underwent a right-side thoracic mediastinal mass resection, and a mediastinal capillary hemangioma was confirmed by pathology. The child continued taking propranolol orally and received regular follow-up and rehabilitation after the operation up to 7 months old, by which time no obvious abnormalities were found.

We describe a case of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma detected by ultrasound at 14 gestational weeks. The tumor was classified as "type Ⅰ" by ultrasonography combined with MRI. The cystic part accounted for over 60% of the mass before 26 weeks and ruptured spontaneously at 28 weeks. The size of the tumor was 12.8 cm×9.7 cm×12.3 cm at 36 +5 gestational weeks. A female newborn was born through cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation and had the tumor removed surgically on the postnatal day 4. Postoperative follow-up showed that the neonate had a good prognosis without physiological dysfunction.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) combined with drug on social function and efficacy in patients with depressive episodes, so as to provide references for the treatment of depressive episodes. MethodsA total of 66 hospitalized patients who was in hospital at department of psychiatry of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, met the criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,fifth edition(DSM-5) diagnosis of depressive episode or bipolar disorder depressive episode from May 2019 to March 2020 were included by simple random sampling. The participants were divided into study group (n=36) and control group (n=30) according to the random number table method. Both groups received conventional drug treatment, and the study group recieved the EECP intervention at same time. The Depression symptoms and social function were assessed before and after treatment by using Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24) and Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS). Treatment efficacy of the two groups was compared. ResultsAfter the intervention, the HAMD-24 and SDS scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (t=8.149, 5.791, 8.016, 3.488, P˂0.01). And the SDS score of the study group was siginficantly lower than that of the control group (t=-3.008, P<0.05). The total effective rate of treatment in the study group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (90.63% vs. 63.33%, χ²=8.725, P˂0.05). ConclusionEECP therapy combined with drug has better efficacy on the patients with depressive episodes, and it can improve social function effectively.
