Objective To establish a rabbit model of acute lung injury induced by one-lung ventilation (OLV) .Methods Sixteen New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2.3-2.7 kg were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=8 each):conventional tidal volume(VT) group (group Ⅰ) and high VT group (group Ⅱ).All the rabbits were tracheostomized and a tracheal tube was inserted into the right bronchus for right lung ventilation in the two groups. VT was set at 6 ml/kg in group Ⅰ and at 12 ml/kg in group Ⅱ and the other ventilatory parameters were the same in the two groups (FiO2 50% , RR 40 bpm, I∶E=1∶2). Immediately before OLV(T0) and at 1, 2 and 3 h of OLV (T1-3), peak airway pressure was measured and arterial blood samples were taken for blood gas analysis and oxygenation index (OI) was calculated. The animals were sacrificed at 3 h of OLV and lung tissues obtained for microscopic examination.The lung injury was scored. W/D lung weight ratio was calculated. Bron-choalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for measurement of protein concentrations and neutrophil counts. Results The peak airway pressure was significantly higher at T1-3 in group Ⅱ and OI was significantly lower at T2,3 in the two groups than those at T0(P<0.05) .W/D lung weight ratio and lung injury scores of the right lung were significantly lower than those of the left lung in the two groups(P<0.05).The peak airway pressure was significantly higher at T1-3, OI was significantly lower at T3, and W/D lung weight ratio, protein concentrations and neutrophil counts in BALF and lung injury scores of the right lung were significantly higher in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ(P<0.05). Conclusion OLV with VT of 12 ml/kg for 3 h can successfully establish a rabbit model of acute lung injury.

Objective:To observe the presence or absence of necroptosis in PC12 cells after radiation injury, and to detect the expression of receptor-interacting protein 3(RIP3) and evaluate its regulatory effect on necroptosis.Methods:PC12 cells were treated with different doses of irradiation and their necroptosis was detected by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release at different time points. After pretreatment with necroptosis inhibitor Necrostatin-1(Nec-1), the changes of cell necroptosis were detected by LDH. The expression level of RIP3 after irradiation intervention was detected by Western blot (WB). After pretreatment with the RIP3-specific inhibitor GSK′872, the changes of cell necroptosis were detected by LDH. The best transfection sequence of RIP3 knockout was screened by WB. The cells were divided into the control group, irradiation group, solvent control group, no-load control group and pretreatment group. WB, immunofluorescence staining, MTT, LDH and Annex V-fluorescein Isothiocyanate/Propidium Iodide (AnnexV-FITC/PI) flow cytometry were used for detection and analysis.Results:After 4 Gy irradiation, the degree of cell necrosis was the highest after 3 hours of culture, and the expression level of RIP3 protein was up-regulated. The cell necrosis was decreased after Nec-1, GSK′872 and RIP3 gene knockdown pretreatment.Conclusions:The radiation injury of 4 Gy can induce the necroptosis of PC12 cells, and the most significant effect can be observed when cultured for 3 hours after irradiation. RIP3 is involved in the process of necroptosis of PC12 cells induced by radiation injury, and plays a pivotal positive regulatory role.

[Objective]To investigate the association between screen content and the frequency of screen exposure at the age of one and a half years and hyperactive behavior in preschool,and to explore how the association is affected by the interaction between outdoor activities and screen behaviors,which could provide theoretical basis and feasible solutions for the prevention and intervention of behavioral problems in childhoood.[Methods]The survey was conducted from June 2022 to June 2023 in Huicheng District,Huizhou (China) stratified by whole cluster sampling methods. Parents and teachers of 5648 children in 61 kindergartens were sampled for questionnaire surveys. The Conners Teacher Rating Scale (TRS) was used to investigate hyperactive behavior. A self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate basic demographic information of children,screen content,frequency of screen exposure and outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between video screen behavior and hyperactive behavior and its interaction with outdoor activities by controlling for covariates such as children's age,gender,and parental education.[Results]Result showed the overall prevalence of 3.2% for hyperactive behavior,2.1% for conduct problems,2.1% for hyperactivity problems,1.3% for inattention-passivity problems,and 0.9% for hyperactivity index. After adjusting for confounding factors,multiple logistic regression analysis showed that screen exposure of "two to four times a week" at one and a half years old was associated with an increased detection rate of hyperactive behaviors in preschool children,with an estimated ORs (95% CI) of 1.682 (1.141,2.480). Daily screen exposure was associated with increased detection rates of hyperactive behavior,conduct problems,hyperactivity issues,inattention-passivity problems,and hyperactivity index in pre-school age. The estimated ORs (95% CI) were 2.136 (1.218,3.746),2.321 (1.185,4.546),2.300 (1.208,4.380),2.776 (1.267,6.085) and 3.640 (1.525,8.687),respectively. But the above associations were not found in children who were engaged in daily outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years (P value for interaction<0.001). No association was found between screen content and hyperactive behavior (P>0.05).[Conclusions]Frequency of screen exposure in early childhood is significantly associated with hyperactive behavior problems in preschool,and outdoor activities could weaken the correlation between high-frequency screen exposure and hyperactive behavior,suggesting that parents and schools should prioritize scientifically guiding children's video viewing behavior and outdoor activities,ensuring a well-arranged daily life,to lay a good foundation for the healthy development of children's behavior.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a method to determine the contents of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in Uncaria rhynchophylla. METHODS: The separation degree of ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C4mimCl) as mobile phase additive was compared with that of mobile phase without additives and with traditional additive triethylamine (which damaged the chromatographic column). The optimum concentration of C4mimCl was screened and the contents of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in U. rhynchophylla from 4 habitats in Jiangxi province were determined by the newly established method. The determination was performed on Dikmatech Diamonsil Plus C18 column, the mobil phase was acetonitrile-buffer (0.1% phosphoric acid+3.0 mmol/L C4mimCl), gradient elution. UV detection wavelength was set at 245 nm and the flow rate was 1 mL/min. Sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS: When mobile phase had no additives or 3.0 mmol/L triethylamine and 3.0 mmol/L C4mimCl were added as additives, the separation of rhynchophylline from the front peak was 1.02, 1.23 and 1.72, and the separation from the back peak was 1.06, 6.00 and 4.25, respectively. The symmetry factors were 0.81, 0.86 and 1.13, respectively. The separation of isorhynchophylline from the front peak was 0.96, 3.89 and 4.05, and the separation from the back peak was 1.02, 2.34 and 2.36, respectively. The symmetry factors were 0.88, 0.81 and 0.96, respectively. The linear range of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline were 4.93-157.76 (r=0.999 9) and 4.98-159.50 μg/mL (r=1.000), respectively. The quantitative limits were 0.486 4, 0.793 6 μg/mL, respectively. RSDs of precision, repeatability, stability and durability tests were all less than 5% (n=6). The recovery rates were 102.9%-107.8% (RSD=1.7%,n=6) and 95.4%-106.3% (RSD=3.9%,n=6), respectively. The content of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in U. rhynchophylla from 4 habitats were 0.758-1.343 and 1.511-1.823 mg/g, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Addition of C4mimCl into mobile phase can enhance its separation. Established HPLC method is rapid, accurate and reproducible, which can be used for content determination of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in U. rhynchophylla.
