Objective　To investigate the efficacy of combined use of apigenin and resveratrol in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods　Fifty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a normal group (n=10) and a model group (n=40). The NAFLD model was established in the model group using carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and a high-fat diet. After successful modeling, the model group was further divided into a model group, an apigenin group, a resveratrol group, and an apigenin and resveratrol combined group (combined administration group), with 10 mice in each group. The mice were administered once daily for four consecutive weeks. At the end of the administration, the mice in each group were weighed, the eyeballs were taken for blood samples, and the necks were dissected and sacrificed. The livers were dissected and weighed, and the liver index was calculated. The automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect the serum biochemical indicators of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) levels in mice. The ELISA method was used to detect the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in mouse 10% liver tissue homogenate. HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of liver tissue in mice. Results Compared with the normal group, the liver index and serum biochemical ALT, AST, TG, TC levels in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the liver homogenate MDA was significantly increased (P<0.01), while the levels of SOD, CAT, GSH- Px were decreased significantly (P<0.01). There were a large number of fatty vacuoles and hepatic cord disorders in the liver tissue. Compared with the apigenin group and the resveratrol group, the liver index, and serum biochemical ALT, AST, TG and TC levels in the combined administration group decreased (P<0.05), and the liver homogenate MDA level decreased (P<0.05), and the levels of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px were increased (P<0.05). The number of fatty vacuoles in liver tissues were reduced, hepatic cord disorders were improved. Conclusions The combined administration of apigenin and resveratrol has a protective effect on NAFLD model mice, possibly through the reduction of hepatic enzymes and blood lipid levels, as well as enhanced antioxidant activity. The combination treatment shows better efficacy compared to the apigenin and resveratrol groups.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the genotype of carbapenemase resistance genes and their genetic homology in multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and to provide a theoretical basis for guiding the rational use of antibiotics and controlling the prevalence of nosocomial infections. Methods A total of 83 multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and environmental specimens in the Sixth People's Hospital of Nantong from July 2020 to December 2021 were collected. The bacteria were identified and subjected to drug sensitivity tests using the BioMérieux DL96-Ⅱ automatic bacterial identification susceptibility system. The carbapenemase-related drug resistance gene types were detected using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, and clones were analyzed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Results The types of 83 ICU Acinetobacter baumannii specimens include sputum (43 strains), broncholavage fluid (20 strains), and surfaces of objects such as ventilators (20 strains). The resistance rates of all strains to imipenem, tetracycline, gentamicin, amikacin and ciprofloxacin were 100%, 32.5%, 38.6%, 41.0% and 77.1% respecitively, while the resistance rates to others such as ticarcillin and clavulanate were greater than 95%. All strains carried were detected to carry OXA-23 and OXA-51 genes, while OXA-24, OXA-58, IMP-1, VIM, IMP-4, SIM and NDM-1 resistance genes were all negative. PFGE homology analysis confirmed that 83 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, with counts of 12, 18, 12, 13, 10, 6, 7, 5 respectively, mainly A, B, C, D, E clones, the rest were sporadic clones. Conclusions The carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from our ICU are widely drug-resistant to commonly used antimicrobial drugs, with B clone strain being the major prevalent strain. Carrying OXA-23 and OXA-51 genes may be an important reason for the resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii to carbapenem antibiotics in our ICU. Rational use of antimicrobial drugs, enhanced monitoring of bacterial resistance, and effective control of the generation and further spread of drug-resistant strains should be emphasized.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of OLV anesthesia about infant lung resection of CCAM by video-assisted thoracicscopy. Methods Endo-tracheal intubation was performed after 43 CCAM infants had undergone rapid intravenous induction. One side of lungs was ventilated by injecting 4 ~ 6 mmHg CO2 for the construction of artificial pneumothorax, and the side lung was compressed forming OLV. SpO2, ECG, MAP, PETCO2, T, PaO2, PaCO2, bleeding volume and urine volume were monitored. The numerical value of SpO2, PaO2, HR, MAP, PETCO2, and PaCO2 were recorded at scheduled intervals. Results Compared with 5min after induction,the PaO2,HR and MAP of the infants significantly reduced; the PETCO2 and PaCO2 significantly increased at OLV at 10 min and 60 min. Compared with OLV at 10 min, the PaO2, PETCO2 significantly increased at OLV 60 min. Conclusion Appropriate respiratory management and drug usage are feasible and safe for infant surgery of CCAM by video-assisted thoracicscopy.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of 50 Hz power-frequency magnetic fields on signal transduction pathway of stress-activated protein kinase(SAPK), and explore the cellular signal transduction mechanism of the biological effects induced by power-frequency magnetic fields.

METHODSChinese hamster lung(CHL) cell line was exposed to power-frequency magnetic fields with two intensities for different exposure durations. The cytoplasmic protein was extracted and the phosphorylated portion of SAPK and SEK1/MKK4 was measured with Western blotting analysis. The SAPK enzymatic activity was measured by the solid-phase kinase assay in cells exposed to power-frequency magnetic fields for 15 min.

RESULTSBoth 0.4 mT and 0.8 mT power-frequency magnetic fields could enhance the phosphorylation of SAPK in a time-relative course manner, and reached the maximum extent at 15 min, with an increase of 20% and 17% respectively. The solid-phase kinase assay showed that the enzymatic activities of SAPK were also increased, which were 2.9 +/- 0.4 and 2.1 +/- 0.9 times of control respectively. However, the duration of SAPK phosphorylation induced by 0.8 mT was longer than that of 0.4 mT, while the duration and extent of SAPK dephosphorylation was remarkably shorter than that of 0.4 mT. The power-frequency magnetic fields under equal conditions could not phosphorylate(activate) the SEK1/MKK4.

CONCLUSIONPower-frequency magnetic fields could activate the SAPK, but not SEK1/MKK4. It is suggested that power-frequency magnetic fields may activate SAPK signal transduction pathway through a kinase other than SEK1/MKK4. The activation mechanism of SAPK of power-frequency magnetic fields needs to be identified in more detail.

Objective To investigate the effect of thymosin ?1 (T?1) on cellular immune function in gastric cancer patients through observing its treatment on the differentiation of T-lymphocyte subsets from screened peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Methods PBMCs were obtained by centrifugation of blood samples from 18 healthy subjects and 32 patients with gastric cancer,and then cultured in the presence of culture medium with addition of T?1 at 50,10 and 1 ?g/ml for 2 d. T lymphocyte subsets (such as CD4+,CD8+ and CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ T cells) and Th1/Th2 multiplex cytokines were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). Results After PBMCs isolated from healthy people and patients were incubated with or without T?1,there was no significant change in percentage of CD4+,CD8+ peripheral lymphocyte subsets and ratio of CD4+/CD8+. There was no obvious change in the percentage of CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ T lymphocyte subsets in the normal control,but a significant increase was observed in the cells from patients with gastric cancer after treatment (P

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of surgical thrombectomy with those of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in treating acute lower limb ischemia (ALLI) . Methods The clinical data of 107 patients with ALLI, who underwent CDT or surgical thrombectomy at authors' hospital during the period from January 2012 to December 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of complications, mortality, re-intervention rate and amputation rate within 30 days after operation were calculated. Cooley standard of efficacy score was used to assess the clinical curative effect of patients with grade Ⅱ of American Society of Vascular Surgeons (SVS) and International Society of Cardiovascular Surgery (ISCVS) classification of acute limb ischemia. Results A total of 107 patients with ALLI were enrolled in this study. Among them, 59 patients received CDT therapy and 48 patients received surgical thrombectomy. The technical success rate of both groups was 100％. Within 30 days after operation, the incidence of complications in CDT group and surgical thrombectomy group was 11.9％ and 14.6％ respectively, the mortality was 5.1％ and 6.3％respectively, and the re-intervention rate was 17.0％ and 22.9％ respectively, all the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05) . The amputation rate of patients with grade Ⅱ of SVS/ISCVS ischemia classification in CDT group was 8.9％, which was higher than 2.3％ in surgical thrombectomy group, but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05) . In patients with grade Ⅱ of ischemia assessed by the ca uses and Cooley curative effect standard at the time of discharge, the cure percentage of embolism-caused ALLI patients in surgical thrombectomy group was 82.5％, which was remarkably higher than 62.8％ in CDT group (P <0.05) . The cure percentage of thrombosis-caused ALLI patients in CDT group was 92.3％, which was strikingly higher than 25.0％ in surgical thrombectomy group (P <0.05) . The difference in the improvement of ischemia, which was assessed by the duration of ischemia and Cooley therapeutic criteria at the time of discharge, between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05) . Conclusion In treating ALLI, no significant differences in curative effect, incidence of postoperative complications and mortality exist between surgical thrombectomy and CDT. The formulation of therapeutic regimen should be based on ischemia grade of SVS/ISCVS, etiology and coexisting underlying diseases.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcome of Ellman grade Ⅲ bursal-side partial-thickness rotator cuff tears(b-PT-RCT)treated by the arthroscopic single-row technique with articular tendon fibers reservation.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 31 patients with Ellman grade Ⅲ (b-PT-RCT) who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) with the single-row technique in our hospital between January 2014 and October 2016.The intact articular side tissue of the rotator cuff was reserved in 17 patients of group A,and was resected to convert to a full-thickness cuff tear in 14 patients of group B.The visual analog pain scale(VAS)score,Constant-Murley score and shoulder active range of motion(ROM),and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)results were compared between the two groups during the last follow-up.Results Among the 31 patients,25 were followed,with 14 in group A followed for an average of 16.29(12～25)months and 11 of group B followed for an average of 15.37(12～27)months.There were no significant differences between the two groups in all measurements before the intervention and at the last follow-up.After the operation,significant improvement was observed in all planes of the active ROM for both groups(P＜0.05).The VAS score of group A and B decreased significantly from 6.50 ± 1.16 and 6.63 ± 1.80 before the operation to 0.86 ± 0.57 and 0.91 ± 0.63 at the last follow-up(P＜0.05 for both).However,the average Constant-Murley score improved significantly from 55.21 ± 6.40 to 86.85 ± 4.85 in Group A(P＜0.05),while from 54.37 ± 6.30 to 85.73 ± 5.36 in group B(P＜0.05).During the last follow-up,no retear occurred in both groups according to the MRI examination.Conclusion The outcome of single-row repair for grade Ⅲ bursal-sided partial-thickness rotator cuff tears with either articular tendon preservation or converting of the lesion to a full-thickness tear is satisfying.No significant differences were found in their clinical outcomes.
