Objective:To systematically evaluate and integrate the exercise experience of overweight or obese pregnant women during pregnancy, in order to provide basis for the formulation of standardized exercise programs for this population.Methods:We searched databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, Ovid, PsycINFO, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, VIP, Wanfang and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, from their inception to August 16, 2023, to collect qualitative studies on the exercise experience of overweight or obese pregnant women during pregnancy. The quality of included studies was evaluated according to Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies in Australia. The results were integrated by integrating methods.Results:A total of 11 studies were included. Sixty-one complete findings were grouped according to similarities to form 9 new categories. These categories resulted in 3 synthesized findings. Pregnant women with overweight or obesity were affected by promoting and hindering factors; careful balance of exercise risk and benefit for overweight or obese pregnant women during pregnancy; expectations and needs of overweight or obese pregnant women for exercise during pregnancy.Conclusions:Overweight or obese pregnant women highly rated the benefits and importance of exercise, but their participation and adherence to exercise is challenging. Medical staff should pay attention to the exercise experience of overweight or obese pregnant women during pregnancy, understand the driving factors and obstacles of exercise for overweight or obese pregnant women, in order to provide standardized and personalized exercise guidance programs for overweight or obese pregnant women.

Objective:To investigate the current status of maternal body image during pregnancy, mother-infant attachment and postpartum depression and explore the mediating effect of mother-infant attachment on maternal body image during pregnancy and postpartum depression, in order to effectively reduce the incidence of postpartum depression and provide reference and guidance for alleviating depressive symptoms.Methods:A total of 362 pregnant women admitted to obstetric wards in Women′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were selected for a cross-sectional investigation by applying the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, the Body Image in Pregnancy Scale and the Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale by convenient sampling from July to September 2022. Model 4 in the SPSS macro program PROCESS was used to test the mediating effect of maternal infant attachment between body image and postpartum depression.Results:Totally 362 valid questionnaires were retrieved including 194 individuals aged ≤30 years old and 168 individuals aged >30 years old. The scores of maternal body image during pregnancy, mother-infant attachment and postpartum depression were (89.24 ± 15.56), (71.40 ± 8.05), 7.50 (4.00, 11.00) points.Conclusions:Body image during pregnancy can not only directly predict postpartum depression, but also indirectly predict postpartum depression through the mediating effect of mother-infant attachment. In order to prevent or reduce the occurrence of postpartum depression, nursing staff should carry out intervention research based on influencing the path of postpartum depression from the perspective of positive psychology.

Objective:To analyze the antigenicity and genetic characteristics of two strains of Eurasian avian H1N1 swine influenza virus (EAS-H1N1) isolated from 2 human cases found in Gansu province to provide scientific reference for disease prevention and control.Methods:Two cases of human infection with EAS-H1N1 discovered in Gansu province since February 2021 were analyzed for antigenicity and genome comparison, and their genome characteristics were analyzed using software such as Mega7.0.Results:Two human infections with EAS-H1N1 had related environmental exposure history. Two strains were obtained: A/Gansu-Xifeng/1143/2021 and A/Gansu-Xifeng/1194/2021. The two strains of HA, NA genes were all from the Eurasian avian H1N1 swine influenza virus, and are closely related to the human infection EAS-H1N1 virus in Hebei and Tianjin and the EAS-H1N1 virus isolated from the mink in Shandong; the HA receptor binding sites of 2 strains E190D and D225E mutations occurred in all spots, and there were no H274Y and N294S mutations in NA protein.Conclusions:Some important molecular mutations occurred in the genome of people infected with EAS-H1N1 virus in Gansu province, which may lead to increased virulence and potential human-to-human transmission. Strengthening the research and analysis of EAS-H1N1 gene characteristics will help to monitor the mutation and mutation of the virus at the molecular level and scientifically prevent and control the epidemic.

Objective:To investigate the possible mechanism of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) secreting hepatocyte growth factor (HGF).Methods:① C57BL/6 mouse mesenchymal stem cells (mMSC) were cultured in vitro, and mMSC with high expression of chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) were transduced by lentivirus plasmid. Blank control group and empty carrier control group were set at the same time. After 20 generations of cell culture, the transfection efficiency was identified by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The mRNA expression levels of CXCR7 in mMSC were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). ② mMSC with passage number 4-6 were divided into MSC control group [MSC-blank group, 100 μg/L lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was added to wild-type MSC], highly expressed CXCR7 group (MSC-OE-CXCR7 group, 100 μg/L LPS was added to mMSC transduced by lentivirus plasmid with high expression of CXCR7), highly expressed CXCR7 control group (MSC-OENC-CXCR7 group, 100 μg/L LPS was added to mMSC transduced by no load lentivirus plasmid), CXCR4 inhibitor group (MSC-IE-CXCR4 group, 100 μg/L LPS was added to mMSC after 0.1 mg/L CXCR4 inhibitor TC14012 pretreatment for 24 hours), and CXCR4 inhibitor control group (MSC-IENC-CXCR4 group, 100 μg/L LPS was added to mMSC after DMEM culture medium with equal amount of TC14012 pretreatment for 24 hours). Cells in each group were collected after treatment with LPS, and mRNA expression of inhibitor of differentiation-1 (ID-1) was detected by RT-PCR. The cell supernatant was collected, and the levels of HGF were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results:① The high expression of CXCR7 for mMSC which were transduced through lentivirus plasmid were successfully constructed detected by fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry. Compared with the blank control group, the expression of CXCR7 mRNA in the lentivirus with high expression of CXCR7 group was significantly increased (2 -ΔΔCt: 5.81±0.97 vs. 1.02±0.12, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in CXCR7 mRNA expression between the empty carrier control group and the blank control group (2 -ΔΔCt: 0.95±0.22 vs. 1.02±0.12, P > 0.05). ②Compared with the MSC-blank group, high expression of CXCR7 in MSC-OE-CXCR7 group or inhibition of CXCR4 in MSC-IE-CXCR4 group could induce high expression of ID-1 mRNA in mMSC (2 -ΔΔCt: 5.56±0.66, 2.47±0.58 vs. 1.00±0.10, both P < 0.05) and increase HGF exocrine level (ng/L: 632.02±149.98, 217.21±40.53 vs. 108.53±24.62, both P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in ID-1 mRNA expression and HGF exocrine level of mMSC among MSC-OENC-CXCR7 group, MSC-IENC-CXCR4 group and MSC-blank group [ID-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 1.01±0.27, 1.21±0.32 vs. 1.00±0.10, HGF (ng/L): 133.56±25.19, 107.11±25.30 vs. 108.53±24.62, both P > 0.05]. Conclusion:High expression of CXCR7 or inhibition of CXCR4 in MSC can increase the expression of ID-1 and promote the secretion of HGF, thus promoting pulmonary microvascular endothelial repair.

Theileria annulata is a tick-borne intracellular protozoan parasite that causes tropical theileriosis, a fatal bovine lymphoproliferative disease. The parasite predominantly invades bovine B lymphocytes and macrophages and induces host cell transformation by a mechanism that is not fully comprehended. Analysis of signaling pathways by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) could be a highly efficient means to understand this transformation mechanism. However, accurate analysis of qPCR data relies on selection of appropriate reference genes for normalization, yet few papers on T. annulata contain evidence of reference gene validation. We therefore used the geNorm and NormFinder programs to evaluate the stability of 5 candidate reference genes; 18S rRNA, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), ACTB (β-actin), PRKG1 (protein kinase cGMP-dependent, type I) and TATA box binding protein (TBP). The results showed that 18S rRNA was the reference gene most stably expressed in bovine PBMCs transformed and non-transformed with T. annulata, followed by GAPDH and TBP. While 18S rRNA and GAPDH were the best combination, these 2 genes were chosen as references to study signaling pathways involved in the transformation mechanism of T. annulata.

BACKGROUNDHigh-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) allows for small tidal volumes at mean airway pressures (mPaw) above that of conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV), but the effect of HFOV on hemodynamics, oxygen metabolism, and tissue perfusion in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains unclear. We investigated the effects of HFOV and CMV in sheep models with ARDS.

METHODSAfter inducing ARDS by repeated lavage, twelve adult sheep were randomly divided into a HFOV or CMV group. After stabilization, standard lung recruitments (40 cmH2O × 40 seconds) were performed. The optimal mPaw or positive end-expiratory pressure was obtained by lung recruitment and decremental positive end-expiratory pressure titration. The animals were then ventilated for 4 hours. The hemodynamics, tissue perfusion (superior mesenteric artery blood flow, pHi, and Pg-aCO2), oxygen metabolism and respiratory mechanics were examined at baseline before saline lavage, in the ARDS model, after model stabilization, and during hourly mechanical ventilation for up to 4 hours. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance was applied to evaluate differences between the groups.

RESULTSThe titrated mPaw was higher and the tidal volumes lower in the HFOV group than the positive end-expiratory pressure in the CMV group. There was no significant difference in hemodynamic parameters between the HFOV and CMV groups. There was no difference in the mean alveolar pressure between the two groups. After lung recruitment, both groups showed an improvement in the oxygenation, oxygen delivery, and DO2. Lactate levels increased in both groups after inducing the ARDS model. Compared with the CMV group, the superior mesenteric artery blood flow and pHi were significantly higher in the HFOV group, but the Pg-aCO2 decreased in the HFOV group.

CONCLUSIONCompared with CMV, HFOV with optimal mPaw has no significant side effect on hemodynamics or oxygen metabolism, and increases gastric tissue blood perfusion.

ObjectiveTo compare the outcomes of 3 modes of weaning,e.g.SmartCare (a computerdriven knowledge-based system),spontaneous breathing trials (SBBT) and empirical methods,used in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) weaned off mechanical ventilation.MethodsSixty-eight COPD patients were enrolled and randomly (random number) assigned to receive SmartCare (SC group,n =24),SBT (SBT group,n=24) or empirical methods (EM group,n =20).The following data were recorded including beginning of weaning:time consumed for weaning,duration of mechanical ventilation,length of ICU stay,success rate of weaning,survival rate during hospitalization and the complications of mechanical ventilation.The patients were considered as successfully weaned when they were able to tolerate at least 48 consecutive hours of spontaneous breathing.ResultsTime required for weaning and total time for mechanical ventilation in SC group were greatly shorter than those in EM group (P =0.002,0.002),but there were no differences between SC group and SBT group (P =0.540,0.573).Though the length of ICU stay (7.5 d) in SBT group was notably shorter than that in EM group (82.5 d) (P=0.015),there was no difference between SBT group and SC group (8.0 d).Weaning success rate was greater in the SC group (88.3％) than that in EM group (50.0％),but there was no difference between SBT group (66.7％ ) and SC group.No significant differences in survival rate during hospitalization,rate of re-intubation,self-extubation and need for noninvasive ventilation were found among three groups.ConclusionsCompared to empirical methods for weaning,SmartCare could greatly increase the success rate of weaning,but it was not superior to SBT.

Objective To assess the value of central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference [ P( cv-a) CO2 ] in evaluation of disease severity and prognosis in patients with septic shock.Methods There were 45 consecutive resuscitated septic shock patients from April 2009 to October 2010 included immediately after their admission into our ICU.The patients were divided into low P(cv-a) CO2 group and high P(cv-a) CO2 group according to a threshold of 6 mm Hg ( 1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa).All patients were treated by early goal directed therapy (EGDT).The parameters of hemodynamics,lactate clearance rate,the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ ) score,the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA)score,6 h rate of EGDT achievement,the ICU mortality and 28 days in-hospital mortality were recorded for all patients.Results There were 30 patients in the low P(cv-a) CO2 group,and 15 in the high P(cv-a)CO2group.There were no significant differences between low P(cv-a) CO2 and high P(cv-a) CO2 patients in age,APACHE Ⅱ score and SOFA score (all P ＞ 0.05 ).Compared with the high P(cv-a)CO2 group,the low P(cv-a) CO2 group had higher cardiac index ( CI ) and 24 h CI,higher delivery O2 ( DO2 ) and 24 h DO2,higher central venous oxygen saturation ( ScvO2 ) [ (74 ± 9) ％ vs (67 ± 8) ％ ],lower lactate [ ( 3.4 ± 2.1 )mmol/L vs (5.7 ± 4.5 ) mmol/L] and higher △SOFA score [ (0.7 ± 1.8 ) vs ( - 0.4 ± 1.1 ) ],lower 24 h SOFA score [ (7.8 ± 2.0) vs (9.8 ± 2.0 ) ],higher 6 h rate of EGDT achievement ( 83.3％ vs 53.3 ％ )(P ＜ 0.05 ),however,there were no differences in 28 days mortality and ICU mortality between the two groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion P(cv-a) CO2 might be an indicator for predicting the severity of patients with septic shock and evaluating tissue perfusion.
