Objective:To screen the time points of high survival rate and efferocytosis dysfunction of rat alveolar macrophages stimulated by cigarette smoke extract (CSE), establish an in vitro model of alveolar macrophage efferocytosis function, and study chronic respiratory diseases with chronic inflammatory reaction as the main pathological changes. Methods:① Time point screening experiment: rat alveolar macrophages (NR8383 cells) were cultured in vitro, and the cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into blank control group (100 μL complete medium) and 5% CSE group (90 μL complete medium + 10 μL 100% CSE). Alma blue method was used to detect the effect of 5% CSE on the activity of NR8383 cells at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. ② Apoptosis induction experiment: rat type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells (RLE-6TN cells) were cultured in vitro as phagocytic target cells of NR8383 cells, and the cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into blank control group and 10, 30 and 60 minutes groups after ultraviolet exposure (apoptosis was induced by 30 000 μJ/cm 2 ultraviolet irradiation for 15 minutes). Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of RLE-6TN cells cultured for 10, 30 and 60 minutes after ultraviolet exposure. ③ Cell efferocytosis experiment: NR8383 cells in logarithmic phase were divided into blank control group and 5% CSE group. Two hours before NR8383 cells were stimulated by CSE for 6, 12 and 24 hours, RLE-6TN cells were exposed to ultraviolet to induce apoptosis, and the RLE-6TN cell suspension was added to NR8383 cells (the ratio of RLE-6TN cells to NR8383 cells was 5∶1). Flow cytometry was used to detect the efferocytosis rate of NR8383 cells to RLE-6TN cells at different time points treated with 5% CSE. Results:① Compared with the blank control group, the activity of NR8383 cells significantly decreased after treatment with 5% CSE for 48 hours [cell reduction rate: (68.5±4.1)% vs. (73.6±2.3)%, P < 0.05]. However, there were no significant differences when the activities of NR8383 cells treated with 5% CSE for 6, 12 and 24 hours were compared with the blank control group, so these three time points were selected for the subsequent establishment of alveolar macrophage cell efferocytosis dysfunction in vitro model experiment. ② Compared with the blank control group, the apoptosis rate of RLE-6TN cells significantly increased at 10, 30 and 60 minutes after ultraviolet exposure [(66.87±8.63)%, (85.51±2.39)%, (96.13±2.74)% vs. (9.13±3.17)%, all P < 0.01] in a time-dependent manner. Considering that it taked about 50 minutes for RLE-6TN cells to be labeled with PKH26 membrane labeling probe, 10 minutes after ultraviolet exposure was selected to label RLE-6TN cells. ③ Compared with the blank control group, the efferocytosis function of NR8383 cells was significantly decreased after treatment with 5% CSE for 12 hours [cell efferocytosis rate: (33.64±1.30)% vs. (44.02±2.71)%, P < 0.01], but there was no significant effect on the efferocytosis function of NR8383 cells at 6 hours and 24 hours. Conclusions:CSE can induce alveolar macrophage cell efferocytosis dysfunction. Based on the test results of the effect of 5% CSE on NR8383 cell activity and cell efferocytosis function, 12 hours with high survival rate and weak efferocytosis effect of NR8383 cells can be selected as the in vitro model condition of alveolar macrophage cell efferocytosis dysfunction.

Objective:To investigate the effect of right stellate ganglion block (RSGB)-serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) combined with general anesthesia in thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer.Methods:A total of 90 patients who planned to undergo thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer in Xiangya Changde Hospital from March 2020 to September 2021 were prospectively selected and divided into 3 groups by random number table method: general anesthesia group (G group), (SAPB)+ general anesthesia group (SG group), RSGB+ SAPB+ general anesthesia group (RSG group), 30 cases in each group. The SG group received SAPB on the operative side before general anesthesia, and the RSG group received RSGB+ SAPB on the operative side before general anesthesia. After the blocking effect was determined, all patients were given general anesthesia in the same scheme according to their weight, and patients were given patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after surgery. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded before anesthesia (T 0), before intubation (T 1), 1 min after intubation (T 2), 5 min after intubation (T 3), at extubation (T 4) and 5 min after extubation (T 5). The intraoperative dosage of remifentanil, incidence of nausea and vomiting (PONV) within 24 hours after surgery, number of additional PCIA within 24 hours, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of static and dynamic pain, the Bruggrmann Comfort Scale (BCS) and Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RSCQ) 24 hours after surgery were recorded. Results:Compared with T 0, the MAP and HR in 3 groups were increased 1 min after intubation (T 2) and at extubation (T 4), but the increases in RSG group were significantly less than those in G and SG groups (all P<0.05). The remifentanil dosage, PONV incidence and PCIA supplemental times in SG and RSG groups were less than those in G group, and the BCS score and RSCQ score were higher than those in G group (all P<0.05); the BCS score and RSCQ score in RSG group were higher than those in SG group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:RSGB+ SAPB combined with general anesthesia in thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer has little circulation fluctuation, good postoperative analgesia effect, less adverse reactions and high comfort level.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 2 650 MHz radiofrequency (RF) exposure on the behavior and neurotransmitter release of mice.Methods:Adult male C57BL/6N mice were divided into a normal control (CON) group and a radiofrequency radiation (RFR) group using the random number table method. The mice in the RFR group were subjected to single-dose whole-body exposure to a uniform 2 650 MHz RF electromagnetic field for 3 h. During the RF exposure, the field strength in the effective working area of the RF radiation platform was measured using an electromagnetic radiation analyzer, and the changes in the anal temperature of the mice were monitored using an optical fiber thermometer. Moreover, the changes in the cognition, social interaction, and emotion of the mice were determined through the new object recognition test, social preference test, and open field test. Finally, the changes in the hippocampal neurotransmitter release levels of the mice were detected using microdialysis sampling and mass spectrometry, and the changes in the hippocampal tissue structure and ultrastructure were observed via microscopy.Results:Under the test conditions, RF radiation improved the anal temperature of the mice, with a maximum increasing amplitude of 0.61℃, falling within the range of thermal safety. The mice in the RFR group experienced a significant decrease in the frequency and time for exploring new objects ( t=4.50, 2.53, P < 0.05) in the new object recognition test, a significant decrease in the frequency ( t=0.08, P<0.01) and time ( t=0.03, P<0.05) for exploring other mice in the social preference test, and no significant change in the frequency and time for exploring the central area ( P > 0.05) in the open field test. Compared to the CON group, the RFR group showed an increase in the release of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) ( t=-2.56, P < 0.05) and a decrease in the release of acetylcholine (ACh) ( t=2.21, P < 0.05), no significant difference in the release of glutamate (Glu) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ( P > 0.05), and no evident damage to the hippocampal tissue and structure and synaptic ultrastructure. Conclusions:2 650 MHz RF radiation may induce cognitive impairment and abnormal social preference in mice, which is attributed to neuronal dysfunctions and neurotransmitter release disorders under RF exposure.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between concurrent myocardial bridge at anterior descending branch and the formation of coronary atherosclerosis plaques by using transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG). Methods A total of 198 patients underwent coronary CTA in Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medcine from June 2017 to March 2018 and the results showed the anterior descending myocardial bridge. The data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients completed the coronary CTA with 320?row detector CT. According to the manifestations of myocardial bridge on CTA,the patients were divided into deep and superficial myocardial bridge groups. According to whether the patients were complicated with coronary atherosclerotic plaques, they were divided into isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group. The thickness and length of myocardial bridge, the volume of coronary atherosclerotic plaques at the site of myocardial bridge, the pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values, and the K ratio were recorded. Independent sample t test (normal distribution) or Mann?Whitney U test (skewed distribution) was used to compare the difference of measurement data among different groups. χ2 test was used to compare the difference of enumeration data among different groups. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the correlation among pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values,K ratio,thickness and length of myocardial bridge and plaque volume. The influence of above indexes on plaque occurrence was analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. The relationship between main influence indexes and plaque formation was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Ninety nine patients had isolated myocardial bridge,99 with myocardial bridge and coronary atherosclerotic plaques,27 with superficial myocardial bridge and 171 with deep myocardial bridge. All atherosclerotic plaques occurred in pre?bridge and the mean volume of plaques was (91.6±83.0)mm3. The differences in sex, age, height, body weight and body mass index werenot statistically significant between isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge TAG value was statistically significant between the isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P<0.05), but not statistically significant in post?bridge TAG value and K ratio (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values and K value was not statistically significant between the superficial group and the deep group (all P>0.05). There was a weak negative correlation (r=-0.205,-0.316,-0.339,respectively,P<0.05) between the plaque volume and pre?bridge&post?bridge TAG values and K ratio. The pre?bridge TAG value significantly affected the plaque formation (P=0.014) and the odds ratio was 0.884 (95% CI 0.801 to 0.976). While other factors had no significant effects on plaque formation (all P>0.05). The area under curveof plaque formation promoted by pre?bridge TAG value was 0.582. When the diagnostic critical value was －37.26 HU/mm, the sensitivity and specificity of pre?bridge TAG value in plaque formation were 31.31% and 81.82%, respectively. Conclusion The TAG value of anterior descending bridge is an independent risk factor for plaque occurrence. The abnormal TAG value of anterior descending myocardial bridge can be detected early by CTA.

Objective:To investigate the effects of microwave radiation on associative learning and memory function and hippocampal structure of mice.Methods:C57BL/6N mice were ramdomly divided into sham-radiated group ( n=27) and radiation group ( n=2). The radiation group was exposed to microwave at 2.856 GHz, 8 mW/cm 2 for 15 min, then their spatial and associative learning and memory function were examined with the morris water maze and shuttle box behavior experiment. The pathological changes of hippocampal tissue were observed by HE staining and light microscope, the ultrastructural changes of hippocampal tissue were observed by transmission electron microscope. Results:After microwave radiation, the times of mice crossing the platform for the reverse space exploration decreased from(3.60±0.79) times to (2.55±0.47) times( t=2.21, P=0.046), the average active escape rate decreased significantly ( t = 2.70, P<0.05), and the average active latency and the total shock time was significantly prolonged ( t = -3.09, -3.02, P < 0.05). At 8 d after microwave radiation, the nuclei of some neurons in the CA3 and DG regions of the hippocampus were pyknosis. The neurons were apoptotic, the synaptic spaces blurred, the glial cells swollen, and the perivascular spaces widened in the CA3 region of the hippocampus. Conclusions:Microwave radiation can decline the spatial reference memory ability and associative learning and memory ability of mice. The morphological and pathological changes of hippocampus are the structural basis of this dysfunction.

Objective:To clarify the effects of microwave radiation on anxiety-like behavior, the histomorphology of the secondary visual cortex, and calcium activity in neurons.Methods:36 C57BL/6N mice were selected and divided into control group and microwave radiation group according to the random number table method. In the simple behavioral testing, there were 8 mice in the control group and 7 mice in the radiation group. Combining fiber optic recording with behavioral experiments, there were 8 mice in the control group and 7 mice in the radiation group. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was conducted with 3 mice in each group. A high-power microwave simulated source in the X-band with a center frequency of 9.875 GHz and an average power density of 12 mW/cm 2 was used to irradiate the mice for 15 minutes, establishing a microwave radiation animal model. Then, anxiety-like behavior changes in the radiation group were identified using the open-field and elevated plus maze (EPM) tests. The effects of microwave radiation on the histomorphology of the secondary visual cortex were investigated using HE staining and optical microscopy. Based on the genetically encoded calcium imaging technique, as well as optical fiber recording combined with behavioral paradigms in the open field and the EPM, the changes of calcium activity in neurons in the V2M region of the secondary visual cortex were detected. Results:Compared to the control group, the radiation group showed a significant decrease in the frequency of exploring the central region of the open field and the open arm of the EPM ( t = 2.24, 3.10, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the radiation group exhibited the degeneration and apoptosis of some neurons in the secondary visual cortex, primarily manifested as pyknosis and deep staining, cell body shrinkage, and the slightly widening of perivascular space. Fiber optic recordings and behavioral experiments indicated that compared to the control group, mice in the radiation group exhibited significantly increased calcium activities in neurons of the secondary visual cortex when exploring the central region of the open field ( t = -2.75, P < 0.05) or the open arm of the EPM ( t = -2.77, -3.41, P < 0.05) compared to those before radiation after microwave exposure. Conclusions:Microwave radiation can induce anxiety-like behaviors and histopathological changes in the secondary visual cortex. Increased calcium activity in neurons of the secondary visual cortex is proved to be an important mechanism underlying the changes in anxiety-like behavior due to microwave radiation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of N-acetylserotonin (NAS) on the retinal microglia polarization in retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) rats and explore its mechanism via nucleotide-bound oligomeric domain 1 (NOD1)/receptor interacting protein 2 (Rip2) pathway.Methods:Healthy male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into Sham ( n=21), RIRI ( n=21) and NAS (injected intraperitoneally 30 min before and after modeling with NAS, 10 mg/kg, n=18) groups, using random number table. And the right eye was used experimental eye. The RIRI model of rats in RIRI group and NAS group was established by anterior chamber high intraocular pressure method. Rats in NAS group were intraperitoneally injected with 10 mg/kg NAS before and 30 min after modeling, respectively. The retinal morphology and the number of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) in each group were detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining. The effect of NAS on polarization of retinal microglia was detected by immunofluorescence staining. Transcriptome sequencing technology was used to screen out the differentially expressed genes between Sham and RIRI groups. Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to examine the differentially expressed genes. Immunohistochemical staining, Western blot and RT-PCR were used to investigate the effect of NAS on the expression of NOD1 and Rip2 protein and mRNA in retinal tissue and microglia of rats. General linear regression analysis was performed to determine the correlation between the number difference of NOD1 + cells and the number difference of M1 and M2 microglia in retinal tissues of rats in NAS group and RIRI group. Results:A large number of RGC were observed in the retina of rats in Sham group. 24 h after modeling, compared with Sham group, the inner retinal thickness of rats in RIRI group was significantly increased and the number of RGC was significantly decreased. The thickness of inner retina in NAS group was significantly thinner and the number of RGC was significantly increased. Compared with Sham group, the number of retinal microglia of M1 and M2 in RIRI group was significantly increased. Compared with RIRI group, the number of M1 microglia decreased significantly and the number of M2 microglia increased significantly in NAS group. There was statistical significance in the number of M1 and M2 microglia in the retina of the three groups ( P<0.05). Transcriptome sequencing results showed that retinal NOD1 and Rip2 were important differential genes 24 h after modeling. The mRNA and protein relative expressions of NOD1 and Rip2 in retina of RIRI group were significantly higher than those of Sham group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The number of NOD1 + and Rip2 + cells and the relative expression of mRNA and protein in retinal microglia in RIRI group were significantly higher than those in Sham group, and NAS group was also significantly higher than that in Sham group, but lower than that in RIRI group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The number of Iba-1 +/NOD1 + and Iba-1 +/Rip2 + cells in retinal microglia in RIRI group was significantly increased compared with that in Sham group, and the number of Iba-1 +/Rip2 + cells in NAS group was significantly decreased compared with that in RIRI group, but still significantly higher than that in Sham group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis results showed that the difference of retinal NOD1 + and Rip2 + cells in NAS group and RIRI group was positively correlated with that of M1 microglia ( r=0.851, 0.895), and negatively correlated with that of M2 microglia ( r=-0.797, -0.819). The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:NAS can regulate the microglial polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype, the mechanism is correlated with the NOD1/Rip2 pathway.

OBJECTIVE： To introduce Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe （PCNE） classification system to develop medication therapy management （MTM）， and to investigate the application of PCNE classification system in solving drug-related problems （DRPs） in type 2 diabetic patients and the effect of it on clinical outcomes. METHODS： The patients with type 2 diabetes diagnosed in endocrinology department of our hospital from Jul. 10， 2018 to Oct. 31， 2018 were randomly divided into clinical pharmacist-led intervention （“physician-pharmacist-nurse” mode） group and control group receiving only traditional medical services （“physician-nurse” mode）. According to PCNE classification， the number of DRPs found in the pharmaceutical intervention group， the types of problems， causes， the types of interventions， acceptance for interventions and outcomes were analyzed and evaluated. Drug compliance （the highest score is 8） and HbA1c compliance （＜7％） were compared between 2 groups during hospitalization （or at the discharge） and 3 months after discharge. RESULTS： Totally 76 cases were included （40 cases in pharmaceutical intervention group and 36 cases in control group）. During hospitalization， 51 DRPs were found in the pharmaceutical intervention group， among which 42 problems were related to the effectiveness of treatment， mainly due to improper usage and dosage （23 problems）； the types of intervention was mainly aimed at the patient level （24 problems）. 38 problems received intervention （acceptance rate was 74.51％） and 32 problems （62.75％） were completely solved. Compared with those at admission， after following up for 3 months patients with low score （6 points） in the drug compliance of the pharmaceutical intervention group decreased from 26 to 8 （P＜0.000 1）， patients with medium score （6-8 points） increased from 10 to 22 （P＝0.006 2）， patients with high score （8 points） increased from 4 to 10， and drug compliance improved significantly， while there was no significant change in drug compliance in the control group. Compared with those at the discharge， after 3 months’ follow-up， the HbA1c compliance rate of the pharmaceutical intervention group increased from 25.00％ to 77.50％， and that of the control group increased from 25.00％ to 55.56％. There were statistical differences （P＜0.000 1）， and HbA1c compliance rate of the pharmaceutical intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group. CONCLUSIONS： In the practice of MTM service， clinical pharmacists use PCNE classification system to collect， analyze， intervene， solve and evaluate DRPs systematically. The service mode can provide reference for standardizing pharmaceutical care mode.
