Objective To analyze the curative effect of blood transfusion on 100 patients undergoing liver transplantation,to efficiently enhance hemostasis and coagulation function of the patients,to lower the incidence of the operative complications,and to put forward the guideline of blood transfusion to the patients undergoing liver transplantation.Methods The volumes of red blood cells concentrates(RCCs),fresh frozen plasma(FFP),cryopreserved platelets,and cryoprecipitate transfused to the patients undergoing liver transplantation were measured before,during and after the operation respectively.The volumes of blood components transfused to the 50 patients in the former stage and 50 patients in the later stage of liver transplantation in our hospital were also measured respectively.Results The mean volume of the blood components transfused to each patient was 3 334ml.The ratios of the transfused blood volumes to 100 patients were 4.3%,53.4% and 42.3% before,during and after operation respectively.The rate of blood components transfusion was 100% and the ratio of transfused blood volumes to the patients between RCCs and FFP was 1.45:1.The mean volumes of the transfused blood and the operative complications of 50 patients in the former stage of liver transplantation of our hospital were significantly higher than those of the 50 patients in the later stage.Conclusion It is very vital in the scientific,safe and reasonable blood transfusion for the success of liver transplantation,which significantly lowers the incidence of operative complications,such as massive haemorrhage during and after operation,and thrombosis at inosculation of liver artery and portal vein.

Objective: To compare the short-term clinical efficacy and feasibilities between complete mesocolic excision (CME) and tra-ditional radical resection in emergency surgery for patients with colon cancer. Methods: Clinical data for 53 cases of colon cancer treat-ed by emergency surgery between January 2011 and December 2017 in Civil Aviation General Hospital were analyzed. On the basis of the entry time and various operation procedures, the 53 patients were assigned into two groups: the CME group (n=25) that under-went CME in May 2014 or later and the traditional operative group (n=28) that underwent traditional radical resection before May 2014. Distal and proximal colonic and intestinal lavage were performed in all patients. The short-term clinical effects of these different methods were analyzed. Results: The number of excised lymph nodes in the CME group and traditional group was 31.7±2.9 and 19.5± 4.2, respectively, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The operation time of the two groups was (176.0±42.3) min and (157.5±33.5) min and the blood loss was (148.7±74.0) mL and (128.9±50.0) mL, respectively. The length of hospital stay of the two groups was (27.2±10.4) days and (23.1±6.3) days and the first flatus time was (75.0±3.3) h and (75.3±3.7) h, re-spectively. The difference between the two groups in these parameters was not statistically significant (P>0.05). In addition, there was no significant differences in pathological staging, postoperative complications, or mortality between the CME group and traditional op-erative group (P>0.05). Conclusions: The short-term clinical efficacy of CME is similar to that of traditional radical cancer surgery with the advantage of more extensive lymph node dissection. CME can be used safely in patients with colon cancer undergoing an emergen-cy operation.

Objective:To investigate the impact of elevated glucose-induced RNA oxidation on pancreatic β-cell function, activity, and underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods:Rat pancreatic islet β-cell tumour INS-1 cells were cultured in vitro and subjected to nucleic acid oxidation assessment using isotope dilution ultra-high performance liquid tandem mass spectrometry(ID LC MS/MS)following high glucose exposure.In vitro simulation of increased RNA oxidation in INS-1 cells was achieved using 8-oxoguanosine-5'-triphosphate(8-oxoGTP).Cell proliferation was evaluated through CCK-8 assay, apoptosis was measured via flow cytometry, and gene expression of insulin(INS), pancreatic-duodenal homologous cassette 1(PDX1), cysteine-aspartate proteinase 3(Casp3), and cysteine aspartate protease 6(Casp6)was analyzed at the mRNA level.Additionally, whole transcriptome sequencing was performed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of RNA oxidation on INS-1 cells.Results:Elevated glucose levels induced an increase in RNA oxidation within INS-1 cells.This heightened RNA oxidation led to the inhibition of INS-1 cell proliferation, a reduction in mRNA levels of INS and PDX1 genes, and the promotion of apoptosis-related casp3 and casp6 gene mRNA synthesis.Transcriptome sequencing analysis unveiled that the elevated RNA oxidation caused differential expression of mRNA, lncRNA, miRNA, and circRNA in INS-1 cells.This included a significant down-regulation of transcription factors such as Mafa, Pdx1, Pax6, and Mnx1, alongside an up-regulation of various miRNAs like rno-miR-124-3p, rno-miR-133a-3p, rno-miR-3120, rno-miR-212-3p, and rno-miR-7a-2-3p.These molecular changes contributed to the altered expression of associated lncRNAs, ultimately hindering insulin synthesis and secretion, as well as β-cell proliferation.Conclusions:Increased RNA oxidation down-regulates the levels of key β-cell transcription factor mRNAs, contributes to the differential expression of related non-coding RNAs(ncRNAs), particularly lncRNAs, impacts β-cell insulin synthesis and secretion, hinders cell proliferation, and serves as a significant factor in β-cell dysfunction and decreased activity in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).
