AIM: To explore the mechanism of myocardium protection after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by preconditioning with ischemia in human. METHODS: Thirty - six patients underwent valve replacement were divided into ischemic preconditioning group (IP group, 20 cases) and non -ischemic preconditioning group (control group, 16 cases) according to whether they were given single cycle reperfusion before cardioplegia or not. Serum levels of interleukin -8 and 10 were measured with ELISA. Expressions of myocardial Bel -2 and caspase -3 were analyzed. RESULTS: The inflammatory factors IL - 8 and IL - 10 increased to the highest level in serum at 6 h after declamping and recovered to normal level on 5 d after declamping. On 6 h, 1 d and 2 d after declamping, serum level of IL -8 was significantly lower in IP group than that in control group ( P < 0.05 ) , but serum level of IL -10 was higher in IP group (P < 0.05 ). Expression of myocardial Bel - 2 and caspase - 3 increased in both groups after reperfusion, and Bel - 2 was lower in the control group than that in IP group while the level of caspase - 3 was higher (P < 0.05). Expression of myocardial Bel - 2 had positive correlation with IL - 10 and negative correlation with IL - 8.CONCLUSION: Ischemic preconditioning has the effect of protection of human myocardial cells after ischemia/reperfusion injury through decreasing systemic inflammatory response following ischemia reperfusion injury.

Objective:
To investigate the factors affecting postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI) among lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older, so as to provide insights into PSUI prevention.
Methods:
Lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older receiving postpartum examinations were sampled using a convenient sampling method from Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital during the period from January 2021 to April 2022. Participants' demographic data, type of delivery, birth weight, diastasis recti abdominis, pelvic floor muscle strength injury, pelvic floor muscle training were collected, and the development of PSUI was evaluated using the International Consultation on Incontinence modular questionnaire. The factors affecting the development of PSUI were identified among lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 230 questionnaires were allocated, and 226 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.26%. The lying-in women had a mean age of (37.30±2.11) years, and 75.66% had a pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.0 kg/m2. There were 29 women with postpartum BMI of 24.0 kg/m2 and greater (12.83%), 201 women with gestational weeks of 37 weeks and greater at delivery (88.94%), 105 women with vaginal delivery (46.46%), 20 women with neonatal birth weights of 4 000 g and higher (8.85%), 149 women with diastasis recti abdominis (65.93%), 154 women with pelvic floor muscle strength injury (68.14%). The prevalence of PSUI was 25.22% among the study subjects. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that vaginal delivery (OR=4.061, 95%CI: 2.124-7.763), postpartum BMI of 24 kg/m2 and higher (OR=1.903, 95%CI: 1.275-3.288), neonatal birth weight of 4 000 g and higher (OR=2.108, 95%CI: 1.420-4.135), diastasis recti abdominis (OR=1.487, 95%CI: 1.110-2.169) and pelvic floor muscle strength injury (OR=2.924, 95%CI: 1.726-4.803) were risk factors for PSUI among lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older, and pelvic floor muscle training was a protective factor for PSUI among lying-in women at ages of 35 years and older (OR=0.410, 95%CI: 0.216-0.780).
Conclusions
The development of PSUI correlates with the type of delivery, postpartum BMI, neonatal birth weight, diastasis recti abdominis and pelvic floor muscle strength injury among lying-in women. Reasonable weight control and active pelvic floor muscle training may facilitate the prevention of PSUI.

Apoptosis is one of the important forms during cerebral ischemia.Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)/serine/threonine kinase (Akt) is the important cell survival signaling pathway,while c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is the important pro-apoptotic signaling pathway.The dynamic equilibrium of the two signal transduction pathways maintains cell survival and apoptosis under the physiological state.Stimulation during cerebral ischemia breaks this physiological balance and results in the apoptosis of massive neurons.A variety of proved neuroprotective factors are associated with the amplification of enhancement of cell survival signal or inhibition of apoptosis signal,and thrus maintain the balance between the two signal pathways.

Objective Both underuse and overuse of anticoagulant therapy may lead to severe adverse effects. Emerging portable monitering devices, which provides reliable and accurate measurements, were reported to be potential alternatives to tra-ditional monitering recta-analysis regimens. This study was intended to evaluate the effects of serf-monitoring or serf-management (self-testing and serf-dosing) of anticoagulant as compared with that of traditional monitoring. Methods Relevant trials reported before October 2008 were identified in a number of electronic database and analyzed with software RevMan 4.2. The primary out-comes included death from any cause, major bleeding event, thromboembolic event and the proportion of patients whose interna-tional normalized ratio (INR) were within the therapeutic range. Results Seventeen RCT of serf-monitoring were identified.Pooled estimates revealed significant reductions in the thromboembolic events (odds ratio 0.46, 95% CI0.33 -0.64), all-cause mortality (0.61,0.40 -0.93), and major haemorrhage (0.80, 0.58 - 1.10) with self-monitoring as comparing with traditional monitoring. No difference was noted in minor haemorrhage. 15 trials reported improvements in the mean proportion of patients whose INR were within target range. Conclusion Self-management regimen is superior to traditional monitoring in the outcomes of oral anticoagulation. Patients capable of self-monitoring and serf-adjusting have fewer thromboembolic events and lower mortali-ty than those undergoing self-monitoring alone. However, self-monitoring requires education and training for patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of crayfish associated rhabdomyolysis syndrome in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, and explore the related factors, and to provide evidence for the prevention of crayfish rhabdomyolysis syndrome. Methods The cases of crawfish associated rhabdomyolysis syndrome were found through the foodborne disease surveillance and reporting system, and a field epidemiological investigation was carried out to analyze the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the cases. Results A total of 25 cases of crayfish associated rhabdomyolysis syndrome occurred in 2020. The intake of crayfish of the cases ranged from 5 to 25, the incubation period was 1 to 9.5h, and the interval from onset to medical treatment was 0.17 to 9h. All the cases had muscle pain, and the content of creatine kinase (CK) in the cases increased to varying degrees (128-17851 U/L). Retrospective cohort analysis of 10 crayfish events found no correlation between the consumption of different parts of crayfish and the incidence of crayfish-related rhabdomyolysis syndrome. Conclusion The incidence of rhabdomyolysis syndrome reported in Baiyun District of Guangzhou is related to the consumption of crayfish, but the pathogenic factors need to be further studied. It is suggested to strengthen the supervision of crayfish breeding, transportation, sales, and processing to ensure the health of consumers.
