Objective:To investigate the effect of vitamin E, selenium and quercetin on the expression of zf-9 mRNA of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) during early acute liver injury in rats. Methods:90 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control, pathological control, VE 20 mg/(kg bw﹒d) + Se 16 ?g/(kgbw﹒d) supplement, and quercetin 50 mg/(kg bw﹒d) supplement through intragastric way for 15 d respectively. The normal control group was injected with normal saline, the others were given intraperitonal CCl4 once to induce acute liver injury model. The serum levels of MDA, SOD, ALT and AST were determined at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after CCl4 injection respectively. The pronase-collagenase perfusion of liver was used to isolate HSC, and the expression of zf-9 mRNA was examined by RT-PCR. Results: Serum levels of MDA were lower in VE+Se supplement group and quercetin supplement group than pathological group. Supplementation with VE+Se and quercetin could decrease the level of ALT and AST and down-regulate the expression of zf-9 mRNA. Conclusion:Dietary supplementation of VE,Se and quercetin could effectively down-regulate the expression of zf-9 mRNA in HSC during early acute liver injury in rats.

Objective To explore the related factors of diarrhea onset in critically ill patients during early enteral nutrition (EEN). Methods Thirty Zhejiang Provincial Emergency Intensive Care Units (EICU) and ICU to implement EEN support for critically ill patients from July 2016 to August were enrolled, and the incidence of diarrhea within 1 week after EEN administration was observed. The patients were divided into a diarrhea group and a non-diarrhea group according to whether diarrhea occurred or not during EEN. The basic status data [sex, age, body mass index (BMI), albumin, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ), nutritional risk screening (NRS2002), major disease diagnosis], and EN status (feeding route, infusion method, EN type, amount of EN on days 4 and 7), and clinical treatment (applying following treatments or not: mechanical ventilation and its duration, vasoactive drugs, gastrointestinal motility drugs, probiotics) and clinical outcomes (survival after discharge or not) were collected in two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed on the indexes with statistically significant differences obtained from the univariate analysis to screen out the relevant risk factors of occurrence of diarrhea in critically ill patients during EEN administration. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to analyze the predictive value of each risk factor for occurrence of diarrhea in critically ill patients with EN therapy. Results Of the 510 critically ill patients who underwent EEN, 156 had diarrhea, 70.5% (110/156) had diarrhea within 4 days of EEN, most diarrhea lasts for 3 days and most frequency of diarrhea was 3-4 times a day. The univariate analysis showed that the age of patients in the diarrhea group was significantly higher than that in the non-diarrhea group (years:69.42±17.94 vs. 65.76±17.69), the mechanical ventilation time and ICU hospitalization time were significantly longer than those of non-diarrhea group [mechanical ventilation time (days): 8 (5, 14) vs. 8 (4, 9), ICU hospitalization time (days): 11.5 (8.0, 19.0) vs. 9.0 (6.0, 14.0)], the proportion of probiotics used and the proportion of feeding by nasal tube were significantly higher than those of non-diarrhea group [proportion of probiotics: 26.9% (42/156) vs. 14.4% (51/354), proportion of nasal tube feeding: [26.9% (42/156) vs. 14.4% (51/354)]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the use of probiotics was a protective factor for diarrhea during EEN in critically ill patients [odds ratio (OR) = 0.447, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.273-0.730, P = 0.001]. ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of probiotics predicting diarrhea was 0.598 (95%CI = 0.554-0.640), P < 0.001, sensitivity was 35.9%, and because AUC was less than 0.7, the accuracy and sensitivity of predicting diarrhea with probiotics was considered to be relatively poor. Conclusion The incidence of diarrhea is high in EEN in critical illness patients and its occurrence is related to various factors. The addition of probiotics can reduce the incidence of diarrhea.

Objective To explore the effect of TCM external treatment on the patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands by meta-analysis.Methods Literatures about TCM external treatment on the patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands that were published on domestic or international magazines were extensively solicited and assessed with uniform effect criteria. The total number and valid number of patients in these literatures were counted, and the literatures were also assessed and chosen by meta-analysis with Review Manager 5.3.OR values and a 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated and consolidated.Results Finally, totally 11 literatures and 945 patients were included in our study, of which 464 received TCM external treatment, an effective rate of 89.22%, while the control group included a total of 481 patients, an effective rate of 82.33%. TCM external treatment showed the same effect on hyperplasia of mammary glands as the oral liquid of Chinese medicines, massage and acupuncture did [OR=1.91,95%CI (0.74-4.97)]. When comparing the effect of TCM external treatment and Rupixiao oral liquid on hyperplasia of mammary glands, totally 6 literatures and 509 patients were included in the study, of which 258 received TCM external treatment, an effective rate of 97.29%, while 251 patients took Rupixiao oral liquid, an effective rate of 88.45%. TCM external treatment had a significantly better effect than Rupixiao oral liquid [OR=4.52,95%CI (1.98-10.33)].Conclusions TCM external treatment has the same effect with oral liquid of Chinese medicines, massage and acupuncture, while TCM external treatment on hyperplasia of mammary glands which promotes the circulation of qi and blood and eliminates phlegm and frees channels has a significantly better effect than Rupixiao oral liquid. It suggests that in our clinical work we should treat patients based on whatever methods they can withstand so as to improve their satisfaction.

Objective The current manipulator with double parallel quadrilateral mechanism should be connected in series with a flexible degree of freedom (DOF) mechanism, which increases the volume of the manipulator, decreases the motion flexibility and creates the interference between the mechanical arms that hold the mirror and the device. Aimed at solving this problem, a novel mechanical arm was put forward to enhance the motion flexibility and reduce the volume of the manipulator. Methods The mechanical arm was designed by using the mechanism of five-link, slider and slide rail lower pair and wire transmission to realize the telescopic movement of the end effector. The kinematics model of the manipulator was established, and the MATLAB was used as the simulation tool to verify the correctness of the D-H parameters under the specific zero joint angle, and the motion equation of the manipulator was solved. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional workspace of the end effector was obtained by using Monte Carlo algorithm, and the preoperative plan of animal experiment for 3 arms was performed. Finally, cholecystectomy and other operations were acted in pigs, to verify the rationality and maneuverability of the design of double 5-link 2-DOF manipulator. Results The working space of Monte Carlo algorithm under MATLAB environment was -650.4 mm＜x＜649 mm, 163.8 mm＜y＜1 202 mm and -254.6 mm＜z＜829.8 mm. Sixteen cases of pig cholecystectomy were successfully completed, with an average operation time of 51 minutes. Conclusions The novel double 5-link 2-DOF manipulator could successfully complete cholecystectomy and other operations in pigs, which had no other symptoms after the operation. There was no interference between the mechanical arms, which fully verified the feasibility of the design scheme of the robot manipulator for minimally invasive surgery.

Objective:To explore the consistency of peripheral whole blood and venous serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels, and the value of peripheral whole blood PCT in evaluating pediatric bacterial infection.Methods:This multicenter cross-sectional parallel control study was conducted in 11 children′s hospital. All the 1 898 patients older than 28 days admitted to these hospitals from March 2018 to February 2019 had their peripheral whole blood and venous serum PCT detected simultaneously with unified equipment, reagent and method. According to the venous serum PCT level, the patients were stratified to subgroups. Analysis of variance and chi-square test were used to compare the demographic characteristics among groups. And the correlation between the peripheral blood and venous serum PCT level was investigated by quantitative Pearson correlation analysis.The PCT resultes were also converted into ranked data to further test the consistency between the two sampling methods by Spearman′s rank correlation test. Furthermore, the ranked data were converted into binary data to evaluate the consistency and investigate the best cut-off of peripheral blood PCT level in predicting bacterial infection.Results:A total of 1 898 valid samples were included (1 098 males, 800 females),age 27.4(12.2,56.7) months. There was a good correlation between PCT values of peripheral whole blood and venous serum ( r=0.97 , P<0.01). The linear regression equation was PCT?venous serum=0.135+0.929×PCT peripheral whole blood. However, when stratified to 5 levels, PCT results showed diverse and unsatisfied consistency between the two sampling methods ( r=0.51-0.92, all P<0.01). But after PCT was converted to ordinal categorical variables, the stratified analysis showed that the coincidence rate of the measured values by the two sampling methods in each boundary area was 84.9%-97.1%. The dichotomous variables also showed a good consistency (coincidence rate 96.8%-99.3%, Youden index 0.82-0.89). According to the severity of disease, the serum PCT value was classified into 4 intervals（<0.5、0.5-<2.0、2.0-<10.0、≥10.0 μg/L）, and the peripheral blood PCT value also showed a good predictive value (AUC value was 0.991 2-0.997 9). The optimal cut points of peripheral whole blood PCT value 0.5、1.0、2.0、10.0 μg/L corresponding to venous serum PCT values were 0.395, 0.595, 1.175 and 3.545 μg/L, respectively. Conclusions:There is a good correlation between peripheral whole blood PCT value and the venous serum PCT value, which means that the peripheral whole blood PCT could facilitate the identification of infection and clinical severity. Besides, the sampling of peripheral whole blood is simple and easy to repeat.
