OBJECTIVE:To observe the effecacy and safety of using cefotaxime using different doses in perioprative period on the prevention of postoperative infection of lung cancer resection. METHODS:61 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who re-ceived lung cancer resection were retrospectively analyzed divided into cefotaxime 2 g group(26 cases) and cefotaxime 4 g group (35 cases)according to dosage. Cefotaxime 2 g group was treated with Cefotaxime for injetion 2 g 30 min before operation,add-ing into 0.9% sodium chloride injection 100 ml,by intravenous infusion,if the operation time was more than 3 h,cefotaxime 2 g was intravenously infused during operation and cefotaxime 2 g was intravenously infused after operation,interval of 12 h was re-quired for preoperative and postoperative medication time and the total medication time was no more than 48 h. Cefotaxime 4 g group was treated with Cefotaxime for injection 4 g(the usage was the same as cefotaxime 2 g group). Leukocyte,hemoglobin,al-bumin,infection rate and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups before and after operation were observed. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in the infection rates between 2 groups(P>0.05). Leukocyte,hemoglobin and albumin in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05),however,there was no significant dif-ference between 2 groups(P>0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Small dose of ce-fotaxime has good prevention effect on the postoperative infection of non-small cell lung cancer,with good safety,which meets the principles of rational use of antibiotics.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of T2 *mapping T2 *value combined with DWI ADC value in quantitative assessment of the activity of sacroiliitis.Methods 30 patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS)were divided into 2 groups as acute group (n=17)and chronic group (n=13)according to the BASDAI scores of the clinical severity of disease.And 20 healthy adults were recruited as control group.All groups were examined by MR with traditional sequence,T2 *mapping and DWI in the sacroiliac joint.The T2 *value and ADC value of the bone marrow edema region and normal region were measured.Furthermore,the imaging data and the clinical scores were statistical analysis and compared among three groups.Results T2 *values and ADC values in acute group of AS patients were higher than chronic group (P<0.05),as well as compared with healthy volunteers (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the chronic group of AS patients and control group (P>0.05).Positive correlation between ADC value and BASDAI was observed in patients group.Conclusion T2 *mapping combined with DWI imaging in AS is beneficial for early diagnosis and quantitative analysis of the activity of sacroiliitis.

BACKGROUND:With the development of tissue engineering, autologous chondrocyte implantation is often used to repair cartilage defects. And poor integration is one of the common reasons that lead to failure repairing. Many models in vitro are used for related studies.
OBJECTIVE:To develop an interface integrated model of tissue engineered cartilage repair in vitro and to evaluate the effect.
METHODS:Cartilage integration model in vitro was established in pigs. Total y 21 cartilaginous rings were obtained and divided into agarose gel group (n=18) and control group (n=3). In agarose gel group, cartilage rings were covered with agarose gel. Chondrocytes were separated and implanted into the ring. The leakage of cells around the cartilage rings was observed. The sections were stained for histological observation at 1, 2, 4 weeks. The average area of neochondrocytes was measured and compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results from the control group were not processed, because there was no chondrocyte aggregate formation in the center of the explant ring due to earlier chondrocyte leakage outside the explant. While no chondrocytes were found outside the explant ring in the agarose gel group. Tissue sections of the agarose gel group were stained by hematoxylin and eosin, alcian blue, Safranin-O and col agen type II immunohistochemistry at 1, 2, 4 weeks. Neochondrocytes proliferated within cartilage ring, and produced extracellular matrix. After 2 weeks of incubation, these inserted chondrocytes were significantly increased. There was no statistical y significant increment between 2 weeks and 4 weeks (P>0.05), although the area was further increased by 4 weeks. This model provides a convenient simulation of the cartilage integration process in vitro and has a potential application in studies of cartilage integration and cartilage tissue engineering.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and prognosis of acute kidney injury after heart transplantation.Methods:Clinical data of 180 recipients of heart transplantation at Zhengzhou Seventh People's Hospital from April 2018 to November 2022 are retrospectively analyzed. According to whether AKI occurred 7 days after surgery, the recipients are divided into a non AKI group(85 cases)and an AKI group(95 cases). The baseline data, general perioperative conditions, and clinical data of the two groups of recipients are compared using chi square test and rank sum test to identify possible influencing factors for AKI after heart transplantation.Determine independent risk factors through binary logistic regression.The Kaplan Meier method is used to draw survival curves to further clarify the impact of AKI on the survival and cumulative hospitalization of heart transplant recipients.Results:The incidence of postoperative AKI in 180 recipients of this study is 52.7%(95/180). Univariate analysis showed that there are statistically significant differences in recipient age, preoperative albumin, platelet count, graft cold ischemia time, and surgical time between the AKI group and the non AKI group(all P<0.05). Further multivariate analysis showes that recipient age( OR=1.021, 95% CI: 1.001~1.043, P=0.043), surgical time( OR=1.005, 95% CI: 1.001~1.008, P=0.005), platelet count( OR=0.995, 95% CI: 0.990~1.000, P=0.034), and donor cold ischemia time ( OR=0.996, 95% CI: 0.993~0.996, P=0.004)are independent risk factors for AKI after heart transplantation. Prognostic analysis showed that 35.7%(25 cases)of the AKI group received continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)after surgery, and 31.9%(23 cases) received aortic balloon counterpulsation(IABP)after surgery. Compared with 0 and 8.9%(7 cases)of the AKI group without AKI, the differences are statistically significant(all P<0.01). Compared with the non AKI group, the invasive mechanical ventilation time is 614 (504, 707) hours and 540 (460, 610) hours( P<0.01), the stay time in the intensive care unit is 12(8, 16)days and 10(6, 15)days( P=0.050), and the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)on the 7th day after surgery is 10(6, 15)ml/(min·1.73 m 2)and 68(57.5, 91.0)ml/(min·1.73 m 2)( P<0.01), with statistical significance. The cumulative survival rate of the AKI group after heart transplantation is lower than that of the non AKI group, and the cumulative hospitalization rate Is higher than the latter. The differences between the groups are statistically significant(all P<0.01). Conclusions:The incidence of AKI after heart transplantation is relatively high, and recipient age, platelet count, graft cold ischemia time, and surgical time are independent risk factors for AKI. Recipients with AKI after heart transplantation have a higher proportion of postoperative use of CRRT and IABP, longer invasive mechanical ventilation time and monitoring room stay time, and lower eGFR on the 7th day after surgery; at the same time, recipients with AKI after heart transplantation have a lower postoperative survival rate and a higher cumulative hospitalization rate.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for early mortality in heart transplant(HT)recipients and construct a nomogram prediction model.Methods:From 2018 to 2022, preoperative clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 163 consecutive HT recipients.Risk factor variables were shortlisted by univariate correlation analysis based upon early(90-day)postoperative patient survival.Lasso regression was then employed for screening all variables and common variables were combined.A nomogram was constructed for predicting the probability of early mortality after considering actual circumstance.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve, area under the ROC curve(AUC), Harrell's C-index and calibration curves were employed for evaluating and internally validate the performance of the model.Decision curve analysis was performed for assessing clinical utility of the model.Results:In survival and mortality groups, mechanical ventilation, nervous system lesions, use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, red blood cell count ≤3.52×10 12/L, mean pulmonary arterial pressure>27 mmHg, pulmonary vascular resistance>4.01 Wood Unit, albumin≤33 g/L, aspartate aminotransferase >50 U/L, hemoglobin ≤108 g/L, platelet count ≤109×10 9/L and total bilirubin>57 μmol/L demonstrated statistically significant differences( P<0.05). At the same time, according to actual situations and different variables, hemoglobin ≤108 g/L, albumin ≤33 g/L, platelet count ≤109×10 9/L, total bilirubin>57μmol/L, aspartate aminotransferase>50 U/L, nervous system lesions and average pulmonary arterial pressure >27 mmHg were seven variables.And a nomogram with relatively high reliability was constructed for predicting the probability of early mortality post-HT(nomogram model evaluation, AUC 0.917, C index 0.910 and good calibration curve). Decision curve analysis indicated that the nomogram could benefit HT recipients. Conclusions:Risk factors have been identified for early mortality in HT recipients.And the nomogram prediction model offers a simple and reliable tool for predicting early mortality post-HT.It has important implications for individualized treatment of HT candidates.

AIM: Diabetes mellitus affects the pharmacokinetics of cytochrome P450 3A4 / 5 (CYP3A4/5) substrates. We evaluated the relationship between haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and the pharmacokinetics of controlled-release tacrolimus. METHODS: This retrospective observational cohort study included kidney transplant recipients (>18 years) receiving controlled-release tacrolimus orally. CYP3A5 genotypes were categorized as expressers (*1/*1 or *1/*3) and non-expressers (*3/*3). Multiple linear regression analysis determined the predictors for trough concentration / dose-normalized by body weight (C/D) ratio of tacrolimus at 7 days, 6 months and 12 months after administration. Correlations between the C/D ratio and HbA1c levels at baseline, 6 and 12 months after tacrolimus initiation were evaluated with Bonferroni correction. RESULTS: Out of 42 patients (CYP3A5 expressers, n=56, and non-expressers, n= 83), the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the C/D ratio on Day 7 was marginally higher in CYP3A5 non-expressers than in CYP3A5 expressers. Factors affecting the elevation of tacrolimus C/ D ratio after 6 and 12 months of treatment were male sex and CYP3A5 non-expressers and increased HbA1c levels and CYP3A5 non-expressers, respectively. The C/D ratio and HbA1c levels after 12 months was positively correlated in CYP3A5 non-expressers (y=54.6x+194.6, R=0.63, P=0.004, Bonferroni correction). Furthermore, intra-individual changes in the C/D ratio and HbA1c levels from 6 to 12 months were nearly correlated (y=54.5x + 20.2, R=0.41, P=0.036, Bonferroni correction). CONCLUSION: HbA1c and CYP3A5 genotypes might be considered to understand the inter- and intra-individual variability in blood tacrolimus concentrations after 6 months post-kidney transplantation.

In order to improve the wearing comfort and bearing effectiveness of the exoskeleton, based on the prototype and working mechanism analysis of a relaxation wearable system for knee exoskeleton robot, the static optimization synthesis and its method are studied. Firstly, based on the construction of the virtual prototype model of the system, a comprehensive wearable comfort evaluation index considering the factors such as stress, deformation and the proportion of stress nodes was constructed. Secondly, based on the static simulation and evaluation index of system virtual prototype, multi-objective genetic optimization and local optimization synthesis of armor layer topology were carried out. Finally, the model reconstruction simulation data confirmed that the system had good wearing comfort. Our study provides a theoretical basis for the bearing performance and prototype construction of the subsequent wearable system.
