Objective To reveal the changes of catecholamine and lactate levels in myocardial interstitial fluid during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in order to prove the protective effects of sildenafil pretreatment on post-resuscitation myocardial function in swine model of ventricular fibrillation (VF).Methods Twenty-four swine were randomly (random number) divided into three groups:saline group,sildenafil group and shame operation group.Sildenafil in dose of 0.5 mg/kg dissolved in 40 mL of saline was given to swine once intraperitoneally 40 min prior to VF in sildenafil group.The equivalent volume of saline (0.9% NaC1) alone was administered instead in saline groups.There was no treatment in shame operation group.After ventricular fibrillation untreated for 8 min,open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated.The hemodynamic variables were recorded at baseline,4 min,1 h and 6 h after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).The interstitial fluid from the left ventricle wall was collected by using the microdialysis tubes at given intervals,in which the levels of dopamine,norepinephrine,epinephrine,and lactate were measured.The samples for pathological examination were taken at 24 hours after ROSC.Results The levels of catecholamine and lactate in the sildenafil group were lower than those in saline group at all different intervals (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).The cumulative defibrillation energy was lower in the sildenafil group than that in the saline group (P < 0.05).The hemodynamic changes and myocardial histological damage in sildenafil group were milder than those in saline group (P < 0.05).The pathologic changes of myocardium and mitochondria in saline group were more severe than those in sildenafil group.Conclusions Sildenafil pretreatment prior to VF can effectively reduce endogenous catecholamine secretion and lactate levels in myocardial tissue,protecting the myocardium and improving post-resuscitation myocardial function.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic outcomes and adverse effects of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (hd-IVIg) in the treatment of some severe skin diseases (toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug hypersensitivity syndrome, connective tissue disease, autoimmune bullous disease, acute graft-versus-host disease). Methods Twenty-five cases of severe skin diseases were treated with hd-IVIg (0.4 g/kg/day for a course of 5 days). Results The therapeutic outcomes were different from each other. Of all the cases, 21 improved, especially those of acute onset of toxic epidermal necrolysis and drug hypersensitivity syndrome; 1 adult dermatomyositis and 2 elder bullous pemphigoid were not relieved. A patient with acute graft-versus-host disease died. Three patients presented with minor adverse effects (headache and blood pressure rising). Conclusions hd-IVIg is effective and safe in the treatment of some severe skin diseases. More importantly, it has a substantial effect on shortening disease course and decreasing the dosage of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants as well as on preventing infections.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of lenalidomide combined with anti-B-cell maturation antigen chimeric antigen receptor T cell (anti-BCMA CAR-T) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).Methods:The clinical data of a patient with RRMM who underwent lenalidomide combined with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy in Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in January 2020 were analyzed. Clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment were also analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 51-year-old man who was diagnosed as IgD-λ multiple myeloma (MM) in October 2015. The patient achieved remission after 10 courses of chemotherapy regimens including immunomodulators and proteasome inhibitors, followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. MM relapsed after 14 months of transplantation. His disease continued to progress after multiple chemotherapy regimens and mouse or human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy. After a conditioning chemotherapy regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, the patient took lenalidomide on day 1 and was infused human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T cells on the next day. Grade 3 cytokine releasing syndrome (CRS) appeared after infusion, and was resolved after symptomatic treatment. Very good partial response (VGPR) was achieved on day 14 after anti-BCMA CAR-T treatment. VGPR had been maintained for more than 3 months by press time.Conclusion:Lenalidomide combined with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy is feasible and effective in the treatment of RRMM.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between microRNA-497 (miR-497) expression and invasion and metastasis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:The expression of miR-497 in 93 CRC patients (CRC group), 30 colorectal adenoma polyps (colorectal adenomatous polyp group) and 30 healthy patients (normal control group)were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR); meanwhile, the content of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was detected by chemiluminescence; After 3 years follow-up, the expression of miR-497 was measured again; the correlation between the expression of miR-497 and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of CRC was analyzed.Results:The expression of miR-497 in CRC group was significantly lower than that at the end of postoperative treatment, adenomatous polyps group and normal control group ( P<0.01), and the content of CEA in CRC group was significantly higher than that at the end of postoperative treatment, adenomatous polyps group and normal control group ( P<0.01); At the end of postoperative treatment, the expression of serum miR-497 in CRC group was lower than that in normal control group ( P<0.05), and the content of serum CEA was higher than that in normal control group ( P<0.05). The diagnosis positive rate of serum miR497 expression in CRC group was significantly higher than that of serum CEA ( P<0.01), and they showed no correlation ( r=0.232, P>0.05). The pre-and post-operative serum miR-497 expression levels in the recurred and metastasis group were significantly lower than those in the no postoperative recurrence and metastasis group ( P<0.01). The preoperative expression of miR-497 was related to the differentiation degree of CRC, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and survival period ( P<0.01), but not with the age, sex, tumor size and location of the patients ( P>0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that tumor differentiation, TNM stage, preoperative miR-497 expression, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were all independent risk factors influencing prognosis of CRC patients ( P<0.05); The survival rate of 1, 2, 3 years in the miR-497 low expression group was lower than that in the miR-497 high expression group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The preoperative low serum miR-497 expression levels are closely relative with invasion and metastasis and poor prognosis of CRC, and can be a prognostic indicator of CRC. The reduced postoperative serum miR-497 expression levels may be a predictor of the postoperative recurrence and metastasis of CRC.

Objective To study the ability of standard strain and clinical isolates of Ureaplasma spp. to form biofilms in vitro and to compare the antibiotic susceptibility of sessile cells and their planktonic counterparts. Methods A total of 21 Ureaplasma wealyticum(Uu) isolates recovered from female patients diagnosed with cervicitis and Uu serovar 3 and Uu serovar 8( Uu3, Uu8) were included. Scanning electron microscope and confocal scanning laser microscopy were used to identify biofilm formation. Conventional antibiotic susceptibility tests and biofilm susceptibility assays for tetracycline, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin were carried out. The paired rank sum test and was applied to analyze the statistical differences between the MIC and the minimal biofilm inhibitory concentration. The x2 test was applied to analyze the statistical differences of global resistance percentages between planktonic cells and sessile cells. Results Uu3, Uu8 and 21 Uu isolates all can form biofilms in vitro. Minimal inhibitory concentration of sessile cells compared with planktonic cells were obviously higher for tetracycline, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin (P <0.001). Global resistance percentages between planktonic cells and sessile cells were different for erythromycin (9.52% vs 61.90% , P < 0. 001), ciprofloxacin ( 80. 95% vs 100% , P = 0. 035 ) and tetracycline (4. 76% vs 14.29% , P =0.293). Conclusion Uu isolates and Uu1, Uu8 all can form biofilms in vitro, and biofilm formation can strengthen resistance of Uu to antibiotics, even multidrug resistance was observed.

Objective To detect the msr gene which confers resistance to erythromycin, and ana-lyze its distributing difference between the two biovars of Ureaplasma urealyticum. Methods Broth dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) to erythromycin among 72 U. urealyticum clinical isolates. The msrA, msrB, msrC and msrD genes detection and biotyping of U. urea-lyticum were conducted using PCR. Results The MICs of 72 U. urealyticum isolates to erythromycin ranged from ≤0. 125 μg/ml to ≥128 μg/ml. MIC_(50) was 32 μg/ml and MIC_(50) was ≥128 μg/ml. Biotyping showed that biovar Parvo had 51 strains (51/72, 70.83%) and biovar T960 had 21 (21/72, 29.17%) strains.The msrA, msrB, msrC and msrD genes were obtained in 1, 12, 0 and 24 strains, respectively, with five strains carrying the msrB and msrD genes, and one strain carrying the msrA, msrB and msrD genes. There was no resistance difference to erythromycin between the two biovars when the MIC≥8 μg/ml was considered resistance to eryt hromycin. But the msrB gene was predominantly detected in biovar T960. Conclusion U. urealyticum clinical isolates harbeur the msrA, msrB and msrD genes, and the predominantly detected msrB gene is of biovar T960.

Objective To study the relationship between erythromyein sensitivity and ermB gene in 143 Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) clinical isolates. Methods We detected the minimum inhabit concen-trations (MICs) of Uu to erythromycin by broth dilution method and MIC≥8 μg/ml was used as standard concentration of resistance to erythromycin. Polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the ermB gene and biotype Uu with primers based on multi-band antigen gene. Results The MICs, MIC50 MIC90 of Uu to erythromycin were ≤0. 125 μg/ml to ≥128 μg/ml, 16 μg/ml, and ≥128 μg/ml, respectively, with a high resistance rate of 64.38%. ermB gene, which was mainly detected in Uu with MIC≥8 μg/ml, was positively detected in 40 out of 143 Uu strains (27.97%). No significant differences of the resistance to erythromycin and positive rate of ermB gene were found between the two biovars in the study . Conclusion ermB gene may probably be one of the important genes conferring resistance to erythromycin in Uu. Further studies are needed to discover the difference of resistance and mechanism of erythromycin between the two bi-ovars.
