Objective To evaluate the effect of hypotension factor on endotracheal tube cuff-in-duced damage to tracheal mucous membrane of rabbits. Methods Eighty healthy rabbits of both sexes, aged 3.0-3.5 months, weighing 2.5-3.5 kg, were divided into 16 groups(n=5 each)according to the cuff pressure and mean arterial pressure(MAP): different cuff pressures when MAP did not decrease groups(C1M1group, C2M1group, C3M1group, C4M1group), different cuff pressures when MAP de-creased by 20% of the baseline value groups(C1M2group, C2M2group, C3M2group, C4M2group), dif-ferent cuff pressures when MAP decreased by 30% of the baseline value groups(C1M3group, C2M3group, C3M3group, C4M3group), and different cuff pressures when MAP decreased by 40% of the baseline value groups(C1M4group, C2M4group, C3M4group, C4M4group). Different cuff pressures were 0, 10, 20 and 30 cmH2O.At 2 h of tracheal intubation, the tracheas in the cuff-compressed area were harvested and sliced for examination of the pathological changes of tracheal mucous membrane after haematoxylin and eosin staining(with a light microscope), and the damage to tracheal mucous membrane was scored. Results When at the same low pressure(MAP decreased by 20%, 30% and 40% of the baseline value), the score of damage to tracheal mucous membrane increased with the increasing cuff pressures(P<0.05). When at the same cuff pressure(10, 20 and 30 cmH2O), the score of damage to tracheal mucous membrane in-creased with the increasing MAP(P<0.05). There was interaction between cuff pressure and MAP, F=2.034(P<0.05). Conclusion There is interaction between the effects of hypotension factor and endotra-cheal tube cuff factor on damage to tracheal mucous membrane; hypotension factor can aggravate endotra-cheal tube cuff-induced damage to tracheal mucous membrane of rabbits.

Objective: To explore the role of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB signaling pathway in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP)-associated lung injury and the intervention of lipoxin A4 (LXA4) analogue. Methods: Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly(random number)divided into the sham operation group, experimental group, and intervention group, each group containing 15 rats. ANP animal models were prepared by injecting sodium taurocholate into biliopancreatic tube in the experimental group. No sodium taurocholate was injected into biliopancreatic duct in the sham operation group. After the preparation of ANP animal models in the intervention group, LXA4 was injected through the tail vein. Rats in each group were randomly divided into 3 subgroups (n=5 each subgroup). The serum amylase, TNF- α, IL-1β, IL-6 and endotoxin levels were detected 6, 12 and 24 h after the operation. The lung injury scores were assessed and the lung wet/dry weight ratio was calculated. The expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 in lung tissues were detected by Western blot. Results: Serum levels of amylase, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and endotoxin in the experimental and intervention groups were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group, while the levels of the above indicators in the intervention group was significantly lower than those in the experimental group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Postoperative lung injury scores and lung wet/dry weight ratio in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Lung injury scores in the intervention group 6 h after operation had no significant difference compared with those in the sham operation group (P>0.05), while lung wet/dry weight ratio in the intervention group 6 h after operation, and lung injury scores and lung wet/dry weight ratio in the intervention group 12 h or 24 h respectively after operation were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Postoperative lung injury scores and lung wet/dry weight ratio in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the experimental group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The expressions of TLR4 and p65 in the lung tissues of the experimental and intervention groups were significantly higher than those of the sham operation group, and the expressions of TLR4 and p65 in the lung tissues of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the experimental group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusions LXA4 can reduce the severity of acute necrotizing pancreatitis-associated lung injury, and its mechanism is related to reducing the stimulation of endotoxin, thus inhibiting TLR4 signaling pathway and the activation of p65 to down-regulate the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of pioglitazone in reducing lung injury induced by acute pancreatitis.Methods:Thirty healthy male SD rats were randomly(random number) divided into the sham operation group, model group and pioglitazone group, with 10 rats in each group. After anesthesia, the rats in the sham operation group were injected with normal saline retrogradely through the pancreaticobiliary duct. In the model group, after anesthesia, the rats were retrogradely injected with sodium taurocholate into the pancreaticobiliary duct to construct the lung injury model of severe acute pancreatitis. In the pioglitazone group, the model was established after intraperitoneal injection of pioglitazone. Six rats in each group were randomly selected and killed 12 h after operation, and then lung tissue and venous blood were collected. The levels of serum amylase and TNF-α and NO in lung tissue homogenate were detected and compared among the three groups; the expression of TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA in lung tissue was detected by RT-PCR and compared among the three groups; the lung tissue pathological injury score and lung leakage index were calculated and compared among the three groups. The correlation of TLR2 and TLR4’s mRNA expression with lung tissue pathological injury score and lung leakage index was analyzed.Results:The levels of serum amylase and the levels of TNF-α and NO in lung tissue homogenate in the model group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group, and the above indexes in the pioglitazone group were significantly lower than those in the model group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA in lung tissue, the lung tissue pathological injury score and lung leakage index in the model group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group, and the above indexes in the pioglitazone group were significantly lower than those in the model group ( P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA in lung tissue were significantly positively correlated with the lung tissue pathological injury score ( rs=0.959, P<0.001; rs=0.924, P<0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA in lung tissue were significantly positively correlated with the lung leakage index ( r=0.957, P<0.001; r=0.958, P<0.001). Conclusions:Pioglitazone may reduce the severity of severe acute pancreatitis induced lung injury by inhibiting the expression of TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA in lung tissue.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of miR-494 negatively regulating ROCK1 and PTEN in inhibiting apoptosis of pancreatic cells and participating in the occurrence and development of acute pancreatitis.Methods:Pancreatic acinar cells AR42J from rats were treated by caerulein, and then the levels of amylase, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 (IL-1) and IL-6 in the supernatant of cell culture were detected by ELISA to verify the cell model of acute pancreatitis. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-494 in normal AR42J cells (control group) and acute pancreatitis cell model (model group). Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of the control group, negative control miRNA transfected acute pancreatitis cell model (negative control group) and miR-494 transfected acute pancreatitis cell model (miR-494 transfection group). Western blot was used to detect the expression of ROCK1 and PTEN in the control group, negative control group and miR-494 transfection group.Results:The levels of amylase, TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 in the supernatant of AR42J cells treated with caerulein for 8 h and 12 h were significantly higher than those at 0 h and the control group ( P<0.05), indicating that the model was successfully constructed. The expression levels of miR-494 at 8 h, 12 h and 24 h after the establishment of acute pancreatitis cell model were significantly higher than those at 4 h and the control group ( P < 0.05). The apoptosis rate of the model group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate of the miR-494 transfection group was significantly lower than that of the model group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of ROCK1 and PTEN in the miR-494 transfection group were significantly lower than those in the model group and negative control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:When acute pancreatitis occurs, overexpression of miR-494 can inhibit the expression of pro-apoptotic protein, thus inhibiting the apoptosis of pancreatic acinar cells and promoting the development of acute pancreatitis.

Purpose: Tumor recurrence is the principal cause of poor outcomes in remnant gastric cancer (RGC) after resection. We sought to elucidate the recurrent patterns according to tumor locations in RGC. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from the Shanghai Cancer Center between January 2006 and December 2020. A total of 129 patients with RGC were included in this study, of whom 62 had carcinomas at the anastomotic site (group A) and 67 at the non-anastomotic site (group N). The clinicopathological characteristics, surgical results, recurrent diseases, and survival were investigated according to tumor location. Results: The time interval from the previous gastrectomy to the current diagnosis was 32.0±13.0 and 21.0±13.4 years in groups A and N, respectively. The previous disease was benign in 51/62 cases (82.3%) in group A and 37/67 cases (55.2%) in group N (P=0.002). Thirty-three patients had documented sites of tumor recurrence through imaging or pathological examinations. The median time to recurrence was 11.0 months (range, 1.0–35.1 months). Peritoneal recurrence occurred in 11.3% (7/62) of the patients in group A versus 1.5% (1/67) of the patients in group N (P=0.006). Hepatic recurrence occurred in 3.2% (2/62) of the patients in group A versus 13.4% (9/67) of the patients in group N (P=0.038). Patients in group A had significantly better overall survival than those in group N (P=0.046). Conclusions The tumor location of RGC is an essential factor for predicting recurrence patterns and overall survival. When selecting an optimal postoperative follow-up program for RGC, physicians should consider recurrent features according to the tumor location.

Objective To investigate the effects of different concentrations and adsorption methods of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant produced by different manufacturers on the immunogenicity of the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis and inactivated poliovirus combined vaccine ( DTaP-sIPV) . Methods Five anti-gens of DTaP were adsorbed onto different concentrations (0. 42 mg/ml, 0. 47 mg/ml and 0. 52 mg/ml) of aluminum hydroxide from different manufacturers through sequential and separate adsorption. Adsorbability, anti-pertussis toxin ( PT)/filamentous hemagglutinin ( FHA)/pertactin ( PRN)/diphtheria toxoid ( DT)/tet-anus toxoid ( TT) antibodies and the potency of vaccines were detected. Results The adsorbability of alu-minum hydroxide adjuvant slightly decreased with the reduction of concentration. No significant difference in potency and antibody level was observed between sequential and separate adsorption. Moreover, no signifi-cant difference in antibody level was observed between vaccines prepared with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant produced by General Chemical Corp and our institute. Conclusion Aluminum hydroxide adjuvant produced by our institute at the concentration of 0. 52 mg/ml and separate adsorption method are suitable for prepara-tion of DTaP-sIPV.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and effect of visualization teaching method using HC visual laryngoscope for the standardized training of endotracheal intubation in emergency department.Methods Forty standard-trainee doctors were divided into two groups randomly.20 standard-trainee doctors in team N were taught using the conventional teaching method of emergency medicine for the standardized training of endotracheal intubation,and the other 20 standard-trainee doctors in team HC were taught by visualization teaching method using HC visual laryngoscope.After 1 month training,comparisons of the success rate of tracheal intubation in airway management simulator,the time consumed for intubation and the number of attempt on successful intubation cases,and the satisfaction score with the teaching mode scored by standard-trainee doctors between the two groups were done.Results The one-attempt success rate and the success rate of tracheal intubation in airway management simulator by the standard-trainee doctors in group HC were significantly higher than those in group N (40％ vs.10％,85％ vs.55％),while the number of attempt and the time consumed for successful intubation were significantly less than those in group N[(1.65±0.61) vs.(2.27±0.66),(79.00±8.35) s vs.(89.36±12.03) s).The satisfaction score with this teaching mode and teaching effect of standard-trainee doctors in group HC were significantly higher than those in group N (8.10±0.74 vs.6.55±1.05,8.15±0.80 vs.6.85±0.91).Conclusions The visualization teaching method with application of HC visual laryngoscope for standardized training of endotracheal intubation in emergency department could improve the success rate and efficiency of tracheal intubation in airway management simulator for standard-trainee doctors,and this teaching method may be better than the conventional teaching method on teaching mode presenting some feasibility.
