Objective To detect the levels of plasma soluble vascular cell adhesion molecular(sVCAM-1) and soluble intercellular mo-lecule-1(sICAM-1) in children with Henoch-Schoenlein purpura(HSP) and its clinical significance.Methods The plasma levels of sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in 53 children with HSP(37 cases in acute stage and 16 cases in recovery stage)and in 25 healthy subjects respectively,and the change that in acute stage and recovery stage was analyzed,at the same time,the 2 factors in children with renal injury and without injury were analyzed.Results The serum levels of sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 in acute stage HSP children were significantly higher than those in recovery stage and normal controls(Pa

Objective To explore the effect of exogenous adrenomedullin(ADM) on expressions of glutathion in plasma and brain tissue inneonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemia reperfusion brain damage(HIRBD) and the mechanism of action.Methods Fifty-six cases of 7 d SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups including normal control group(without any treatment),HIRBD group(the model with hypoxia for 2 h and ischemia for 1 h),primed group(abdomen infusion of ADM at 0.5 h before making model,the other was same to the HIRBD group)and treatment group(abdomen infusion of ADM at onces after making model,the other was same to the HIRBD group).The neonatal rats in 4 groups were derived blood and brain tissue after decapitation at either 4 h or 24 h after reperfusion.The levels of gtutathion(GSH) in plasma and brain tissue were determined by using chromatometry.Results In HIRBD group,the affection areas at 24 h after reperfusion enlarged compared with those at 4 h after reperfusion.Meanwhile,the affection of punctiform degeneration or necrosis at 4 h after reperfusion transformed into the affection of lamellar or diffuse degeneration or necrosis at 24 h after reperfusion.The levels of GSH in plasma and brain tissue in HIRBD group at either 4 h or 24 h after reperfusion were significantly lower than that in normal control group(Pa0.05).Meanwhile the pathology score of brain section in primed group and treatment group were significantly lower than that in HIRBD group at either 4 h or 24 h after reperfusion(Pa0.05).Conclusion Exogenous ADM can induce the neuroprotection in HIRBD by adjusting the expression of GSH.

Objective:To analyze the effects of proton pump inhibitors(PPIs)on the prevention of stress ulcers(SU)in elderly patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), and to analyze related factors for the risk of short-term death.Methods:This study was a multicenter retrospective cohort study.Two hundred elderly ARDS patients diagnosed and treated at Peking University International Hospital, Anzhen Hospital and Ezhou Central Hospital from November 2017 to December 2019 were continuously included.These patients were treated with PPIs(omeprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole, lansoprazole and esomeprazole)within 48 hours after ICU admission to prevent SU and were considered as the PPI group.According to the propensity score matching method, 200 elderly ARDS patients admitted to the hospitals with similar ages, medical history and sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)scores who did not use PPIs were selected as the control group.All patients were followed up for 30 days.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the log-rank test were used to compare the 30-day mortality risk between the two groups.Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the relevant factors affecting the 30-day mortality.The 30-day mortality risk and the incidence of clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding were evaluated among patients using different PPIs.Results:The average time of PPI use was 8.4±4.4 d in the PPI group.In the control group, 38.0% of patients were treated with H 2 receptor antagonists, and the average time of use was 8.1±5.2 days.There was no significant difference in the 30-day all-cause mortality risk between the two groups(20.5% or 41 cases vs.23.5% or 47 cases, P>0.05). The incidences of clinically significant upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding(2.5% or 5 cases vs.7.0% or 14, P<0.05), gastrointestinal bleeding(5.5% or 11 cases vs.12.5% or 25 cases, P<0.05)and hospital-acquired pneumonia(9.0% or 18 vs.4.0% or 8 cases, P<0.05)had significant differences between the PPI group and the control group.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age>70 years( HR=1.845, 95% CI: 1.131-3.010, P<0.05), arterial oxygen partial pressure <78.0 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa, HR=2.143, 95% CI: 1.317-3.487, P<0.01), SOFA score>14( HR=3.603, 95% CI: 1.741-7.456, P<0.01)and blood lactic acid>3.8 mmol/L( HR=2.725, 95% CI: 1.437-5.167, P<0.01)were related factors for the 30-day mortality.Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in 30-day mortality between the five subgroups taking different PPIs including omeprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole, lansoprazole and esomeprazole( P>0.05), and the incidence of clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding was significantly reduced( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the five PPIs subgroups( P>0.05). Conclusions:Although PPIs have no effect on short-term death in elderly ARDS patients, it can increase the risk of hospital acquired pneumonia while reducing the occurrence of gastrointestinal bleeding.With PPI use, advanced age, low arterial oxygen partial pressure, high SOFA score and high blood lactate are risk factors for the 30-day mortality.

When senescence induction is based on DNA damage, senescent cells display a unique phenotype, which has been termed “senescence-associated secretory phenotype”( SASP ) . SASP, including proinflammatory cytokines, growth factors, chemokines, matrix remodeling enzymes and other cytokines, may be an important driver of chronic inflammation and therefore may be part of a vicious cycle of inflammation, DNA damage and senescence. Senescence-associated secretory products released by such cells can affect the neighboring cells and further exacer-bate their regenerative capacity. SASP is associated with many chronic age-related diseases.

Non-coding RNAs ( ncRNA ), including ribosomal RNA( rRNA), transfer RNA( tRNA), MicroRNA ( miRNA), long noncoding RNA(lncRNA) and small nucleolar RNA(snoR-NA), are a class of RNA that have multiple functions and are not translated to proteins. MicroRNA and lncRNA are involved in the injury, remodeling and aging of blood vessels, and it is necessary to understand the regulatory roles of MicroRNA and lncRNA in these processes. It is reported that MicroRNA and lncRNA are not only participated in the regulation of oxidative response, inflammation, cell proliferation and migration, and phenotype transition, they are also involved in the regulation of gene expression by conducting different mechanisms, including transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional modification and chromatin remodeling. These aspects of regulation by MicroRNA and lncRNA are related to cardiovascular diseases, such as ath-erosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, pul-monary hypertension and diabetes, and thus provide a new way for genetic diagnosis and therapy of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To investigate the comprehensive prevention strategy in the prevention of oral mucositis (OM) during allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods A total of 721 patients who received HSCT from January 2010 to December 2011 at the Institute of Hematology, Peking University were enrolled. All the patients received the comprehensive prevention strategy of OM. Results A total of 315 patients (43.7 percents) suffered from OM during HSCT, the median time from HSCT to OM occurrence was 5 days. There were 173 (54.9 percents), 91(28.9 percents), 37(11.7 percents), and 14(4.4 percents) patients suffered from gradeⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, and IV OM, respectively. Tongue OM was most common. A total of 111 patients suffered from multiple OM (≥2 locations). Multiplicity showed that duration of agranulocytosis≥15 days was the only independent risk factor of OM in HSCT [ hazard ratio (HR) value 1.5, P<0.05 ]. Neutrophil engraftment time≥12 days was significantly associated with prolonged OM (≥8 days) (HR=2.1, P<0.05). Patient age ≥20 was independent risk factor for occurrance of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ OM (HR=2.7, P<0.05). Conclusions Comprehensive prevention strategy can overcome the risk factors of OM and prevent the occurrence of OM during HSCT.

Objective To investigate the application value of time-spatial labeling inversion pulse (T-SLIP) in renal corticomedullary differentiaton and the best black blood inversion time (BBTI) value.Methods Totally 60 volunteers were included,who underwent abdominal MR scan with noncontrast-enhanced SSFP sequence combined with T-SLIP.All subjects were scanned with different BBTI (800,1 000,1 200,1 400,1 600,1 800 ms) using coronary T-SLIP SSFP sequence.The images quality was evaluated using a four-point scale method.The region of renal cortex and medulla was devised automatically based on the image training algorithm.The signal intensity ratio with the different BBTI was calculated through measuring the signal intensity of the renal cortex and medulla.And the best BBTI values were analyzed.Results When BBTI was 1 200 ms,the image score was the highest.The signal intensity ratio (SIR) had statistical difference among different BBTI groups (all P＜0.05),when BBTI was 1 200 ms,the SIR was the highest,and the contrast between the renal cortex and medulla was obvious.Conclusion T-SLIP technology can improve the visibility of renal corticomedullary without contrast agents.The optimal BBTI for the best corticomedullary differentiation is 1 200 ms.

Objective To explore the relationship of the ratio of plasma adrenomedullin(AM)and endothelin-1(ET-1)with serum concentration of neuron-specific enolase(NSE)in full-term neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods Plasma concentrations of AM,ET-1 and serum NSE from 32 full-term neonates with HIE were detected by radioimmunoassay(RIA)on the 1,3 and 7 d after parturition,30 neonates in the corresponding periods in our hospital were employed as controls.The infants with HIE were divided into mild,moderate or severe group in terms of diagnostic standard of HIE.Results 1.Plasma concentrations of AM and ET-1 in newborns with mild,moderate or severe HIE were significantly higher than that of control group at 1 d after life with a decline from 3-7 d(Pa
