Objective To evaluate the effects of inhaled iloprost on pulmonary hypertension after cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with congenital heart disease undergoing surgical correction of anomaly. Methods Fifty-eight patients with congenital heart disease aged 14-60 yr undergoing surgical correction of anomaly under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were enrolled in this study. Radial artery was cannulated before induction of anesthesia. A 6-lumen pulmonary catheter was placed via right internal jugular vein after tracheal intubation. Their mean pulmonary arterial pressure was still > 25 mm Hg after operation. ECG, HR, BP, CO, PAP and SpO_2 were continuously monitored. Aerosolized iloprost 10 fig was inhaled via nebulizer after CPB. Hemodynamics were measured before iloprost inhalation (baseline) and at 0, 5, 15, 30 and 60 min after the end of iloprost inhalation. Results There were 28 patients with pulmonary hypertension after CPB among the 58 patients with congenital heart disease. Inhalation of iloprost 10μg significantly decreased mPAP, pulmonary vascular resistance and intrapulmonary shunt as compared with the baseline. Iloprost inhalation could also improve significantly CO and the mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO_2 ). Conclusion Iloprost inhaled after CPB can effectively reduce pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with congenital heart disease undergoing surgical correction of anomaly and help them wean from CPB.

Objective To investigate the protective role of dexmedetomidine in rats with endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI).Methods Forty-eight adult male SD rats were divided into four groups (n=12 each) according to the random number table: control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, dexmedetomidine (DEX) treatment group and DEX pretreatment group.ALI was induced in rats by femoral intravenous injection of LPS (8 mg/kg).Rats in DEX treatment group was given DEX (50 μg/kg) for 2 minutes via the femoral intravenous injection 0.5 hour after LPS injection, followed by maintenance pump injection of DEX (5 μg·kg-1·h-1).Analogously, rats in DEX pretreatment group was given DEX (50 μg/kg) for 2 min via the femoral intravenous injection 0.5 hour before LPS injection, followed by maintenance pump injection of DEX (5 μg·kg-1·h-1).By contrast, control group received the same amount of normal saline intravenously.All rats were sentenced to death and their carotid blood samples were collected6 hours after all injections.Superior lobe of the right lung was examined under light microscope and the histologic findings were tested using the difusse alveolar damage (DAD) score.Middle lobe of the right lung was used to calculate the lung tissue wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio.Samples of collected carotid blood were taken to measure levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage was collected to measure levels of TNF-α and IL-6.Results Lung tissue injury was obvious after LPS injection and DAS score was improved as well.However DEX therapy reduced the lung damage as well as the DAD score, especially obvious in DEX pretreatment group (P<0.05).W/D ratio was obviously increased in other three groups compared to control group, but further comparison showed that W/D ratio was lowered in DEX treatment and pretreatment groups compared to LPS group, especially obvious in DEX pretreatment group (P<0.05).Levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were higher in other three groups than control group, but further comparison showed that levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased in DEX treatment and pretreatment groups compared to LPS group, especially obvious in DEX pretreatment group (P<0.05).Levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF were higher in LPS and DEX treatment groups than control group and were higher in LPS group than DEX treatment(P<0.05).Further comparison showed level of TNF-α in BALF similar between DEX treatment and pretreatment groups (P>0.05), but IL-6 in BALF was significantly lower in DEX pretreatment group than DEX treatment group (P<0.05).Level of total protein in BALF was increased in LPS group compared to control group and was decreased in DEX treatment and pretreatment groups compared to LPS group, but there were no significant differences between DEX treatment and pretreatment groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Either preoperative injection of DEX or DEX treatment has protective effect in rats with LPS-induced ALI, while preoperative injection of DEX has been proved to be more effective.

Circular RNA (CircRNA) is an endogenous closed circular noncoding RNA widely existing in organisms. It has a variety of biological functions and the characteristics of stable structure, high conservation, tissue and developmental stage specificity. Studies have confirmed that CircRNA plays an important role in regulating tumor gene expression, including participating in the occurrence, development and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). It has the potential to become a new biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of OSCC, and can be used as a potential target for the treatment of OSCC. This paper reviews the biological characteristics of CircRNA and its latest research status in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of OSCC.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between pre- and post-treatment changing trends in peripheral blood inflammatory markers and efficacy and their predictive value for prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with the first-line immunotherapy plus chemotherapy.Methods:The clinical data of NSCLC patients admitted to the Department of Radiation and Chemotherapy for Lung Oncology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from October 2018 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The χ2 test was used to analyze the correlation between the changing trend of peripheral blood inflammatory markers and the efficacy of immunotherapy plus chemotherapy. The influencing factors of objective response rate (ORR) were assessed using binary logistic regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox proportional hazards model were used to analyze the prognostic value of the changing trend of peripheral blood inflammation markers on patients' prognosis. Results:A total of 102 NSCLC patients treated with first-line immunotherapy plus chemotherapy were included. The proportion of patients with bone metastases was higher in the lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) decreased group ( n=50) than that in the increased group ( n=52) ( χ2=4.28, P=0.039), whereas the pathological type of patients in the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) decreased group ( n=51) was more common in squamous carcinoma compared to patients in the increased group ( n=51) ( χ2=18.99, P<0.001), and a higher proportion of patients in the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) decreased group ( n=46) was female than that in the increased group ( n=56) ( χ2=4.29, P=0.038), with statistically significant differences. The 2-cycle objective response rate (ORR) of patients in the LMR increased and decreased groups was 63.5% (33/52) and 44.0% (22/50) ( χ2=3.89, P=0.049), the 2-cycle ORR of patients in the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) increased ( n=24) and decreased ( n=78) groups was 29.2% (7/24) and 61.5% (48/78) ( χ2=7.74, P=0.005), and the 2-cycle ORR for patients in the systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) increased group ( n=27) and decreased group ( n=75) was 33.3% (9/27) and 61.3% (46/75) ( χ2=6.26, P=0.012), with statistically significant differences. Multivariate analysis showed that the changing trend of inflammatory markers in peripheral blood were not related to ORR. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve indicated that patients in the group with SII decreased had longer median progression-free survival (PFS) (not reached vs. 7.1 months, χ2=9.35, P=0.002) and median overall survival (OS) (not reached vs. 16.6 months, χ2=11.08, P<0.001) than those in the SII increased group, and patients in the NLR decreased group had longer median OS (not reached vs. 22.2 months, χ2=4.56, P=0.033) than that in the NLR increased group. Univariate analysis suggested that both brain and bone metastasis ( HR=4.04, 95% CI: 1.23-13.35, P=0.022), increased SII ( HR=2.83, 95% CI: 1.41-5.66, P=0.003) were found to be significant factors affecting the PFS of NSCLC patients, both brain and bone metastasis ( HR=3.47, 95% CI: 1.05-11.45, P=0.041), increased NLR ( HR=2.17, 95% CI: 1.05-4.51, P=0.037) and increased SII ( HR=3.12, 95% CI: 1.54-6.30, P=0.002) were found to be significant factors affecting the OS of NSCLC patients. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that both brain and bone metastasis ( HR=4.32, 95% CI: 1.30-14.40, P=0.017) and increased SII ( HR=2.89, 95% CI: 1.44-5.81, P=0.003) were independent risk factors for PFS in NSCLC patients, both brain and bone metastasis ( HR=3.76, 95% CI: 1.13-12.50, P=0.031) and increased SII ( HR=3.47, 95% CI: 1.28-9.41, P=0.014) remained independent risk factors for OS in patients with NSCLC. Conclusion:The changing trend of peripheral blood inflammatory markers of NSCLC patients cannot independently predict the efficacy of 2-cycle immunotherapy plus chemotherapy. Both brain and bone metastasis, as well as the changing trend of SII can be used as important indicators to predict PFS and OS in advanced NSCLC patients treated with first-line immunotherapy plus chemotherapy. The simultaneous occurrence of brain and bone metastasis and SII increased suggest poor prognosis of NSCLC patients.

BACKGROUND:Lower limb peri-knee muscle strength training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation are generally safe and effective rehabilitation methods for patellofemoral joint pain,but the mechanism of their intervention is still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To determine the effect of muscle strength training combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on pain,lower extremity function and biomechanical characteristics in patients with patellofemoral pain. METHODS:Thirty-seven patients with patellofemoral pain were randomly divided into muscle strength training combined with electrical stimulation group(trial group,n=19)and muscle strength training group(control group,n=18).Both groups underwent intervention training for 6 weeks,three times a week.The visual analog scale and anterior knee pain scale were used to evaluate the pain level and functional level of the knee.Kinematic and kinetics data during running were collected by using an infrared motion capture system and a three-dimensional force platform simultaneously.A two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures(group*time)was applied to analyze the data. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)After the intervention,the visual analog scale scores of the trial group and the control group were significantly decreased(P<0.001),and the anterior knee pain scale scores were significantly increased(Ptrial group<0.001,Pcontrol group=0.001)in the trial group and control group.The anterior knee pain scale scores of the trial group were significantly higher compared to the control group after the intervention(P=0.001).(2)The peak knee flexion angle(P=0.011),peak knee extension moment(P<0.001),the peak knee internal rotation moment(P=0.008),the peak patellofemoral stress(P<0.001)and the peak patellofemoral contact force(P<0.001)were significantly decreased in the trial and control groups during running after the intervention compared with those before the intervention.(3)In conclusion,both muscle strength training and muscle strength training combined with electrical stimulation training are helpful to improve the subjective pain and lower limb function of patellofemoral pain patients,enhance the movement pattern during running and reduce the stress of the patellofemoral joint.Compared with muscle strength training alone,muscle strength training combined with electrical stimulation can improve lower limb function more significantly.

Objective To explore the effect of muscle energy technique(MET)on dynamic posture control and lumbar neuromuscu-lar function in patients with non-specific low back pain. Methods From March to June,2022,30 college students with non-specific low back pain from Shandong Sport Universi-ty were randomly divided into control group(n=15)and intervention group(n=15).The control group received health education,and the intervention group received MET,for four weeks.They were assessed with Visual Ana-logue Scale(VAS)of pain,Oswestry Disability Index(ODI),Y-balance test and trunk flexion-relaxation test be-fore and after intervention. Results VAS scores decreased in both groups after intervention(|t|>2.449,P<0.05),and it was less in the intervention group than in the control group(t=-5.068,P<0.001);while ODI score decreased in the intervention group(t=4.785,P<0.001),and it was less in the intervention group than in the control group(t=-2.895,P=0.007);the performance of Y-balance test increased(t=-3.662,P=0.003)in the intervention group,as well as flexion-re-laxation ratio of multifidus(t=-2.460,P=0.029). Conclusion MET is effective on alleviating pain and lumbar dysfunction,improving dynamic posture control and en-hancing the function of the multifidus during flexion in patients with non-specific low back pain.
