Objective To evaluate the feasibility of histogram analysis of susceptible signal intensity in differentiating papillary (pRCC) from chromophobe renal cell carcinoma(ChRCC). Methods Thirteen cases with pRCC and 9 cases with ChRCC, who underwent susceptible-weighted imaging(SWI), MR common scanning and enhancement, were assessed retrospectively. The histogram parameters of susceptible signal intensity were measured, including maximum, minimum, mean, median, skewness and kurtosis. The independent samples t test(normal distribution) and Mann-Whitney rank sum test(skewed distribution) were used to compare the differences in SWI parameters between pRCCs and ChRCCs. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the efficiency of the whole-tumor SWI parameters in differentiating pRCCs from ChRCCs. Results The significant differences of the minimum, mean, median and skewness between pRCCs and ChRCCs were present(P<0.05), and there was no significant differences in maximum and kurtosis between between pRCCs and ChRCCs(P>0.05). In all the histogram parameters, the area of ROC curve of mean value was largest(0.80). The sensitivity of minimum value (84.62％) was the highest and and the specificity of skewness(100.00％) was the highest. Conclusion Histogram analysis of susceptible signal intensity can help differentiate pRCCs from ChRCCs.

Objective: To observe the relationship between the dynamic changes of plasma levels of urotensin II (UII) and the stability of coronary atherosclerotic plaque in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods: Our research included 2 groups: ACS group,n=135 consecutive patients treated in our hospital from 2013-03 to 2013-08 that including unstable angina pectoris (UAP) sub-group,n=7, non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) sub-group,n=22 and STEMI sub-group,n=106. In addition, there was a Control group,n=48 healthy subjects. Plasma levels of UII, hs-CRP and NT-proBNP were examined and compared among different groups at different time points.
Results: Compared with Control group at immediate admission, ACS group had increased plasma level of UII (39.82 ± 22.28) pg/ml vs (26.88 ± 6.09) pg/ml,P<0.001; UII level in STEMI sub-group was lower than NSTEMI sub-group (37.41 ± 22.74) pg/ml vs (48.07 ± 15.82) pg/ml,t=2.092,P <0.05. In ACS patients, UII had no correlation to hs-CRP (r=0.041, P=0.639) and NT-proBNP (r=0.112,P=0.261) at immediate admission. There were 58 ACS patients finished the 3 months follow-up study and their UII level was increased than immediate admission as (56.52 ± 20.70) pg/ml vs (51.58 ± 18.70) pg/ml,t=-2.366,P<0.05.
Conclusion: Plasma levels of UII have been changing in different type of ACS patients at immediate admission, UII presented decreasing trend from UAP to NSTEMI to STEMI, while it had increasing trend upon stabilized condition; the admission level of UII had no correlation to inflammatory marker hs-CRP and ventricular overload marker NT-proBNP. UII is not only related to the extent of atherosclerosis, but also related to the nature of atherosclerosis or the stability of plaques.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of alveolar lavage combined with montelukast in the treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and its effect on oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in patients.Methods:A prospective study was conducted involving 90 patients with AECOPD who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Shan County Central Hospital from December 2021 to December 2022. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 45 patients in each group, using the random number table method. The control group received conventional treatment, while the observation group was additionally treated with alveolar lavage combined with montelukast. Symptom score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, overall response rate, serum levels of oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, and superoxide dismutase), and serum levels of inflammatory factors (C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, the symptom scores for both groups decreased significantly compared with their respective scores before treatment ( t = 6.68, 11.32, both P < 0.05). After treatment, the symptom score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(8.69 ± 0.84) points vs. (15.39 ± 1.18) points, t = 8.75, P < 0.05]. After treatment, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 9.19, P < 0.05). The overall response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [93.33% (42/45) vs. 75.56% (34/45), t = 4.56, P < 0.05]. After treatment, serum levels of 4-hydroxynonenal and malondialdehyde in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 4.20, 5.15, both P < 0.05), while serum level of superoxide dismutase in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 5.23, P < 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 6.86, 5.60, 8.75, 4.89, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Alveolar lavage combined with montelukast can reduce clinical symptoms in patients with AECOPD, promote recovery, enhances clinical efficacy, decreases oxidative stress responses, increases the body's antioxidant capacity, lowers the expression of inflammatory factors, and reduces inflammatory responses.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and curative effect of extracorporeal liver perfusion (ECLP) in treatment of acute liver failure (ALF) in pigs. Methods The experiments were carried out in healthy pigs (weight 20-30 kg) under general anesthesia. All of the pigs were randomly divided into 3 groups. ALF model was established by liver blood supply obstructing and portal-systemic shunting. ALF group (n=5): ALF pigs were killed 8 h after establishing. ALF+ECLP group (n=5): ALF pigs were perfused with ECLP for 4 h and killed 8 h after establishing. Normal liver+ECLP group (n=4): normal pigs were dealt with just as ALF+ECLP group. The data of PT, AST, TNF, blood ammonia were collected in all groups. Pathologic changes in liver and brain were detected. Results The levels of PT, AST, TNF, blood ammonia, RBC and HCT in the ALF+ECLP group were lower than those in the ALF group (P

Objective To explore the correlation between serum levels of miR-193a-3p,activated transcription factor 5(ATF5),clinicopathological characteristics and chemotherapy efficacy in patients with triple negative breast cancer(TNBC).Methods A total of 120 patients with TNBC admitted to our hospital were collected as the research group.In the same period,120 cases with benign breast disease in our hospital were selected as the control group.Serum levels of miR-193a-3p and ATF5 were detected,and the relationship between them and clinicopathological characteristics were detected in two groups.According to the therapeutic effect,TNBC patients were divided into the treatment ineffective group(n=50)and the treatment effective group(n=70).The expression levels of miR-193a-3p and ATF5 were compared between the two groups,and factors affecting the chemotherapy efficacy of TNBC patients were analyzed.Results Compared with before chemotherapy,the serum miR-193a-3p level increased and ATF5 level decreased in TNBC patients after chemotherapy(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the serum miR-193a-3p level of TNBC patients decreased in the research group before chemotherapy,and ATF5 level increased(P＜0.05).The expression level of miR-193a-3p was lower and the expression level of ATF5 was higher in patients with tumor diameter≥3 cm,lymph node metastasis,low histological grade,clinical stage Ⅲ and Ki-67＞30%(P＜0.05).In TNBC patients,compared with the treatment effective group,patients in the treatment ineffective group showed a decreased serum miR-193a-3p level and an increased ATF5 level(P＜0.05).Lower level of miR-193a-3p,higher level of ATF5,lymph node metastasis,tumor diameter≥3 cm,low histological grade,and TNM stage Ⅲ were risk factors affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy in TNBC patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Low level of miR-193a-3p and high level of ATF5 in the serum of TNBC patients are risk factors for chemotherapy efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of hemoperfusion in the treatment of severe organophosphorus poisoning and its effect on diaphragm function.Methods:Eighty-five patients with severe organophosphorus poisoning who received treatment in Affiliated Huxi Hospital of Jining Medical University (Shanxian Central Hospital), China between January 2018 and January 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into treatment ( n = 43)and control ( n = 42) groups. The control group was given conventional treatment including gastric lavage, catharsis, and application of reactivators and anticholinergic drugs. The treatment group was subjected to three times of hemoperfusion, with an interval of 24 hours between two hemoperfusion interventions based on the conventional treatment used in the control group. Before and after three times of hemoperfusion, serum levels of cholinesterase (CHE), interleukin-6 (IL-6), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) were measured. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score and oxygenation index (OI) in each group were calculated. Right diaphragmatic activity, diaphragmatic thickness at the end of inspiration (DTei) and diaphragmatic thickness at the end of expiration were measured by bedside ultrasound. The diaphragmatic thickening rate (DTF) and diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI) were calculated. Serum CHE and IL-6 levels, OI, diaphragmatic activity, DTF and D-RSBI were compared between the treatment and control groups. The incidence of intermediate syndrome, tracheal intubation rate, 28-day mortality rate, and hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Results:Before hemoperfusion, there were no significant differences in serum levels of CHE and IL-6, OI, right diaphragmatic activity, DTF, and D-RSBI between the treatment and control groups (all P > 0.05). After three times of hemoperfusion, serum IL-6 level and D-RSBI in the treatment group were (37.9 ± 6.2) ng/L and (0.77 ± 0.20) times /min/mm, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(45.9 ± 5.3) ng/L, (0.90 ± 0.16) times/min/mm ( t = -6.295, -3.382, P < 0.001, P = 0.001)]. Serum CHE level, OI, DE and DTF in the treatment group were (2.29 ± 0.52) kU/L, (264.5 ± 24.3) mmHg, (16.5 ± 1.9) mm, (27.2 ± 4.7) %, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(1.96 ± 0.39) kU/L, (252.6 ± 27.2) mmHg, (14.3 ± 1.6) mm, (23.5 ± 4.1) %, t = 3.258, 2.141, 5.598, 3.877, all P < 0.05]. The incidence of intermediate syndrome, tracheal intubation rate, hospital stay in the treatment group were [4.7% (2/43)], [2.3% (1/43)] and [(11.8 ± 1.8) days], respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [23.8% (10/42), 19.0% (8/42) and (12.9 ± 1.8) days, χ2 = 6.432, P = 0.011; χ2 = 6.276, P = 0.012; t = -2.932, P = 0.004]. There was no significant difference in 28-day mortality rate between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Hemoperfusion can improve diaphragmatic function, reduce inflammatory reaction and shorten hospital stay in patients with severe organophosphorus poisoning.
