Objective:To compare the application effects of electric impedance tomography (EIT)-guided positive end-expiratory pressure conventional PEEP and PEEP-fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2) table-guided PEEP in the mechanical ventilation of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on the clinical data of 80 TBI patients complicated with ARDS admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from July 2020 to December 2022, including 42 males and 38 females, aged 29-59 years [(42.4±7.8)years]. The Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores were 3-12 points [(7.7±2.2)points]. According to ARDS classification, 33 were mild, 26 moderate and 21 severe. All the patients were treated with mechanical ventilation according to lung protective ventilation strategy, including 42 patients treated with EIT-guided PEEP (EIT group) and 38 treated with conventional PEEP-FiO 2 table-guided PEEP (conventional group). At 12 hours, 1, 3 and 5 days after ventilation, the optimal PEEP, respiratory mechanics [driving pressure (ΔP), static compliance (C St), mechanical power (MP)], pulmonary gas exchange [arterial blood pH value, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), oxygenation index (P/F)], ventilation distribution [heterogeneity index (GI), regions of interest (ROI)1-4], hemodynamics [heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP), mean arterial pressure (MAP)], cerebral perfusion status [intracranial pressure (ICP), regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO 2) grading], and treatment outcomes (mechanical ventilation duration, incidence of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), length of ICU stay, 6-month survival rate) separately at their optimal PEEP were compared between the two groups. Results:All the patients were followed up for 6 months. The optimal PEEP of the EIT group was (7.4±1.0)cm, (8.2±1.2)cm, (9.8±0.8)cm and (8.4±0.7)cm respectively at 12 hours, 1, 3 and 5 days after mechanical ventilation, which were higher than (7.0±1.0)cm, (7.6±1.0)cm, (9.0±0.6)cm and (7.2±0.5)cm of the conventional group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At their optimal PEEP separately, at 12 hours, 1, 3 and 5 days after treatment, the ΔP of the EIT group was (7.1±1.3)cmH 2O, (7.7±1.3)cmH 2O, (9.5±1.1)cmH 2O and (6.1±1.3)cmH 2O respectively, which were all lower than (8.9±1.3)cmH 2O, (10.5±1.3)cmH 2O, (11.2±1.2)cmH 2O and (8.7±1.2)cmH 2O of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the C St of the EIT group was (51.5±4.2)ml/cmH 2O, (52.9±4.6)ml/cmH 2O, (55.1±4.3)ml/cmH 2O and (57.5±3.6)ml/cmH 2O, which were all higher than (46.8±3.9)ml/cmH 2O, (47.6±4.4)ml/cmH 2O, (49.9±4.3)ml/cmH 2O and (53.3±3.6)ml/cmH 2O of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05); the MP of the EIT group was (7.9±1.8)J/min, (8.8±1.3)J/min, (10.6±1.3)J/min and (7.8±0.9)J/min, which were lower than (8.6±1.5)J/min, (9.5±1.0)J/min, (12.2±1.8)J/min and (8.6±0.9)J/min of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the P/F of the EIT group was (207.1±7.1)mmHg, (213.1±6.9)mmHg, (239.3±13.1)mmHg and (255.5±11.8)mmHg, which were all higher than (179.6±7.2)mmHg, (187.8±9.6)mmHg, (212.8±9.6)mmHg and (228.1±12.3)mmHg of the conventional group respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the GI of the EIT group were 0.381±0.013, 0.387±0.012, 0.392±0.010 and 0.395±0.010, lower than 0.403±0.005, 0.406±0.005, 0.409±0.005 and 0.411±0.004 of traditional group respectively ( P<0.01); there were no significant differences in the arterial blood pH value, PaCO 2, ROI1-4, HR, CVP, MAP, ICP, or rScO 2 grading between the two groups (P>0.05). The ventilation duration of the EIT group was (78.5±9.0)hours, which was shorter than (83.1±7.4)hours of the conventional group ( P<0.05). The incidence of VILI was 0.0% (0/42) in the EIT group, which was lower than 7.8% (3/38) in the conventional group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the ICU stay or 6-month survival rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In mechanical ventilation treatment of TBI complicated with ARDS, the optimal PEEP guided by EIT was higher than that guided by PEEP-FiO 2 table. At this optimal PEEP, the respiratory mechanics and oxygen supply of the patients can be improved more effectively, making regional lung ventilation more uniform, reducing the mechanical ventilation time and decreasing the incidence of VILI without affecting their hemodynamics and brain perfusion.

Objective To isolate the secondary metabolites of endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. J218 from Anectochilus roxburhii. Methods Different chromatographic methods, including Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel chromatography as well as HPLC, were used to isolate compounds from the EtOAc fraction of the solid fermentation of J218, and their structures were identified by spectral methods. Results Ten compounds were isolated from the fermentation of J218 and their structures were individually identified as kotanin（1）, flavasperone（2）, aurasperone B（3）, fonsecinone B（4）, fonsecinone D（5）, ensidol A（6）, fonsecinone A（7）, fonsecinone C（8）, aurasperone A（9）, and fonsecinone F（10）. Conclusion Most compounds isolated from endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. J218 in Anectochilus roxburhii were identified as dimeric naphthopyrones. These results suggest that this strain contains rich dimerization synthase, which could provide clues for the further exploration of the rational biosynthesis pathway of dimeric naphthopyrones in this strain.

Objective To investigate the change of biological characteristics after stable knockdown of the coding gene of 3-methylcrotonyl-coenzyme A carboxylase β subunit (MCCC2) expression in DU145 by lentivirus shRNA. Methods Three groups were included in this study. shNC was the control group in which MCCC2 was negatively knocked down in DU145. shMCCC2 was the experimental group in which MCCC2 was knocked down. DU145 was the blank group without any treatment. The expression of MCCC2 was assessed by Western blot and qPCR. The proliferation of DU145 cells was detected by CCK8 assay. The migration ability of DU145 was detected by transwell. The apoptosis of DU145 cells was detected by flow cytometry. Results The expression level of MCCC2 in shMCCC2 group was significantly lower than that in shNC group (0.22 ± 0.02 vs 0.61 ± 0.06, P < 0.001). The proliferation (2.24 ± 0.04 vs 3.13 ± 0.15) and migration (23.96 ± 1.85 vs 49.73 ± 0.63) of DU145 cells in shMCCC2 group was significantly lower than that in shNC group, whereas the apoptosis (12.64 ± 0.30 vs 3.68 ± 0.02) of DU145 cells in shMCCC2 was significantly higher than that in shNC group. Conclusion MCCC2 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis of DU145 cells, which indicated that the down-regulation of MCCC2 is correlated with the change of tumor biological characteristics of DU145 cell line and can be a potential target for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Objective To identify the crude drugs of Anoectochilus burmannicus, and clarify its original plant pharmacognostical and microscopic characteristics. Methods The pharmacognostical identification method was used to observe the original plant, tissue structure and microscopic characteristics of A. burmannicus. Results Leaves were ovate or ovate elliptic with golden-red veins. Non-inverted yellow flowers had Y-shaped and yellow labellum, which were anteriorly enlarged and 2-lobed. The lobes were narrowly oblong or narrowly oblanceolate. The middle part of labellum was narrow to form a 10 mm long structure with margin narrowly winged. In the microscopic structure, the cortex is obvious in the cross sections of root and stem, together with needle crystals of calcium oxalate and mucous cells. The upper epidermal cells on the cross section of the leaves were papilloid in shape, whereas diverse stomas existed among the lower epidermal cells, with anomocytic stomas as the major type. Needle crystals of calcium oxalate and conduits can be found in the powder. Conclusion These data provide a reference for the identification and resource development and utilization of A. burmannicus.
