Objective To observe the effect of ulinastatin on the expression of interleukin 15 (IL-15), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMCs) induced by high glucose. Methods RPMCs were isolated, cultured and passaged by trypsin, then identified. The third generation of cultured RPMCs were used in the experiment. RPMCs were divided into normal control group, high glucose (1.5%, 2.5%, 4.25%) for 6 hours and 12 hours, high glucose (2.5%) for 3, 6, 12, 24 hours or ulinastatin (160, 320, 640U/ml) for 12 hours. IL-15 mRNA was detected by real-time PCR. IL-15 and CTGF protein in supernatants was detected by ELISA. MDA protein was detected by TBAS. Results Compared with the control group, the expression of IL-15, CTGF and MDA was significantly increased in the groups stimulated by high glucose (P＜0.05) in dose- and time-dependent manner. Ulinastatin could significantly decrease the expression of IL-15, CTGF and MDA induced by high glucose in dosedependent manner both in protein and gene levels (P＜0.05). Conclusions High glucose can up-regulate the expression of IL-15, CTGF and MDA in RPMCs. Ulinastatin can reverse these changes.

Objective To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of channel-assisted spatium intermusculare approach interbody fusion for treating lumbar vertebra diseases.Methods A total of 81 patients with lumbar vertebra diseases were treated from June 2012 to December 2013,including 35 males and 46 females between 29 and 76 years old with an average age of 54.6.There were 36 cases of lumbar disc degeneration,10 cases of recurrence in situ after lumbar disc herniation surgery,6 cases of huge lumbar disc herniation,11 cases of lumbar disc herniation with spinal canal stenosis,5 cases of extreme lateral lumbar disc herniation and 13 cases of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis.There were 67 cases of single segment lesion and 14 cases of two segment lesions.Lesion sites contained L1,2 in 1 case,L3,4 in 4 cases,L4,5 in 50 cases,L5S1 in 12 cases,L3,4 and L4,5 in 8 cases,and L4,5 and L5S1 in 6 cases.Results The length of incision was 2.42±0.45 cm in cases of single segment lesion and 4.28±0.38 cm in cases of two segment lesions.The operation time was 96.00±21.53 minutes and intraoperative blood loss was 347.50± 241.62 ml.During the operation,one case suffered from dural laceration,cerebrospinal fluid leakage and ipsilateral nerve root injury.Two cases suffered from pedicle fractures.Eight cases experienced epidermal necrosis of the incision.One case had poor wound healing.Three cases suffered from nerve injury.A total of 76 patients were followed up for 12-30 months,averagely 20.5 months.Intervertebral height of lesion segments was apparently recovered after surgery,and maintained in good condition during the final follow-up.No significant difference in the changes of area and grade of multifidus was detected 12 months after surgery and before surgery.Except 4 cases,the remaining had interbody fusion with a fusion rate of 94.7％.The balance between the coronal plane and sagittal plane of the lumbar spine was evidently improved.Average Japanese Orthopaedic Association score increased from 12.66±1.88 points preoperatively to 26.4±1.92 points during the final follow-up,which showed significant differences.Conclusion The method of channel-assisted spatium intermusculare approach interbody fusion has some advantages for treating lumbar vertebra such as small incision,fewer traumas,less bleeding,fast recovery,and high fusion rate.However,there is a long time of operation in the early stage and high occurrence rate of complications.

Objective To explore the clinical features and treatment of skin ulcers.Methods A total of 185 skin ulcer patients with clinical data was analyzed retrospectively in our hospital from October 2014-October 2016.Results Of the 185 patients with skin ulcers,84(45.4％) were 51-70 years old,diabetic ulcers were most common,and most occurred in ankle (44.3％) and limbs (35.7％).After further statistical analysis,the healing rate of patients treated by surgery was significantly higher than non-surgical patients.Surgical procedures of local flap transfer after ulcer resection were most commonly used and of the highest healing rate.The number of ulcers,the largest diameter of ulcers,scar ulcers and blood barrier ulcers were four factors that were independent of the outcome of skin ulcers.Conclusions Skin ulcers hospitalized patients are more common in patients over 50 years of age,occur most in the lower limbs.Surgical therapy is the preferred treatment for most ulcers,of which local flap transfer after ulcer resection has the best effect.Ulcer patients should actively treat the primary disease,strengthen the care,early diagnosis,and early treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application and the effect of early recognition of deteriorating patient program in department of cardiac surgery. METHODS: We used the early recognition of deteriorating patient program in the cardiac surgery groups, including cardiac surgeons, nurses in ward, ICU and operation rooms of the cardiac surgery department, and compared the satisfaction of nurses and doctors, handover time, handover score of critical patients, and rate of unplanned ICU admission before and after the intervention. RESULTS: After using the early recognition of deteriorating patient program, the satisfaction of doctors and nurses was increased, the handover time was lowered 0.56 min/time (t=2.22, P<0.05), the handover score of critical patients enhanced by 19.59 points (t=30.57, P<0.001), the rate of unplanned ICU readmission after the operation reduced by 4.8% (χ2=4.14, P<0.05). CONCLUSION Early recognition of deteriorating patient program can improve the safety of cardiac patients, enhance the self-confidence of nurses and work efficiency.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of a systematic review/Meta-analysis of auricular acupressure on pain, and provide decision making basis for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing.Methods:PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM databases were searched to collect systematic reviews or Meta-analysis on auricular acupressure intervention pain from inception to October, 2020. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted the data, and used AMSTAR 2 and GRADE to evaluate methodological quality and evidence quality.Results:A total of 8 systematic reviews were included. The AMSTAT2 evaluation showed that all the studies were in low methodological quality; GRADE tool graded 26 outcome indicators, including 6 intermediate quality indicators, 16 low-level quality indicatorsand 4 extremely low-level quality indicators. The research results showed that auricular acupressure is safe and effective in chronic low back pain, primary dysmenorrhea and partial postoperative pain. Another study found that it has no significant effect, but it can reduce the rate of adverse reactions.Conclusions:These studies show that auricular acupressure is safe on pain and has certain advantages, but its methodological quality and evidence quality are not high, which requires further research to confirm.

Objective To investigate the viability and safety of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG)based on the TJ point at the junction of the posterior gastric wall and the apex of the medial edge of the left diaphragm.Methods A retrospective analysis of 135 patients with obesity or obesity with metabolic syndrome who underwent LSG from January 2019 to January 2022 were divided into two groups according to the different free modes of fundogastric body.68 patients underwent surgery using the TPOL model LSG.A control group of 67 patients was treated with conventional LSG surgery.To analyze and compare the duration of operation,gastric fundus free time,intraoperative blood loss time,hospital stay time,postoperative gastric fistula,bleeding rate,and occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)between the two groups.Results All patients successfully completed LSG surgery and were safely discharged.They were followed for a period of 12 to 36 months.the duration of operation for the study group was(56.13±10.56)minutes,while for the control group it was(62.45±12.74)minutes.The gastric fundus was freed in(6.34±4.16)minutes for the study group and(12.58±6.37)minutes for the control group.The duration of hospitalization was(3.84±0.42)days for the study group and(4.06±0.69)days for the control group.The intraoperative blood loss was(10.87±1.28)ml for the study group and(15.56±3.39)ml for the control group.The incidence of postoperative GERD was 5(7.35％)for the study group and 13(19.40％)for the control group.The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The decrease in excess weight at 12 months after surgery,as well as complications such as bleeding and gastric fistula,were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion LSG(TPOL model)extends from the TJ point(the Tri-junction point where the gastric left mesangium,gastric posterior mesangium,and pancreatic mesangium meet)to the apex of the medial foot edge of the left diaphragm.LSG(TPOL model)can be efficiently and safely achieve tension-free anastomosis,resulting in a complete free gastric fundus.This method is feasible,and has clinical value for the standardized free gastric fundus of LSG.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for gastric cancer and gastric microecology.Methods:This was a retrospective observational study using fresh frozen operative specimens. The specimens had been stored in the tumor sample bank of the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2017 to January 2023 after having been collected from 31 patients with pathologically diagnosed gastric cancer who had no metastases and had received only neoadjuvant chemotherapy preoperatively. The study patients had all successfully undergone radical gastric cancer surgery. Patients with metastases or other primary tumor foci and/or had received other therapies within 1 month prior to surgery, including immunotherapy, targeted therapies and probiotics, were excluded. The tumors were graded and grouped in accordance with the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system and the Tumor Regression Grading System (TRG) of the College of American Pathologists. Those with TRG Grades 0-1, ypT0-1 and ypN0 were classified as responsive (Group R, 12 cases), whereas those with TRG Grades 2-3 and ypT2-4 or ypN+ were classified as non-responsive (Group NR, 19 cases). The fresh frozen samples were processed and analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Alpha and beta diversity analyses were performed using the Q2-diversity plug-in for QIIME2 and STAMP was used to determine the default parameters and differentially enriched bacterial taxa in the two groups. High-dimensional class comparisons were performed by effect size linear discriminant analysis, and potential functional distributions of microbiomes were predicted using PICRUST2 (v2.3.0-b) software.Results:Groups R and NR did not differ significantly in sex, age, body mass index, smoking history, tumor location, cTNM stage before NACT, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (all P>0.05), whereas tumor size and ypTNM stage after NACT differed significantly between the two groups (both P=0.001). Alpha and beta diversity analysis of the gastric microbiota did not reveal a statistically significant difference in alpha diversity between the two groups ( P>0.05), whereas there was a statistically significant difference in beta diversity between the two groups ( P=0.004). Four family-level bacterial taxa, namely Coriobacteriaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Veillonellaceae, and Lachnospiraceae, were enriched in the R group, whereas four bacterial taxa dominated by phylum Proteobacteria were enriched in the NR group. Metabolic pathways of various amino acids, including citric acid cycle and alanine, were found to be potentially predictive. Conclusions:There are significant differences in the abundance and composition of gastric microecology in gastric cancer patients with different responses to NACT.
