Objective:To investigate the nutritional status of elderly inpatients in China, and to assess its relationship with clinical outcomes.Methods:A prospective, multicenter, parallel investigation was organized and conducted by the Chinese Medical Association's Group of Geriatric Nutrition Support.Patients aged ≥65 years from 30 major hospitals of 14 cities in China were evaluated by the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS2002)and the Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form(MNA-SF), in order to understand the nutritional status and nutritional risk of elderly inpatients in China.The indicators of clinical outcomes were summarized, and the correlation between nutritional status and clinical outcomes was analyzed.Results:A total of 10 184 elderly patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study, aged 65-112(74.81±7.01)years, with a body mass index(BMI)of 17.80-35.50(23.32±3.83)kg/m 2.Grip strength of the dominant hand was(16.95±18.42)kg, upper arm circumference was(25.68±3.70)cm, and calf circumference was(32.07±3.89)cm.BMI, grip strength, upper arm circumference and calf circumference decreased significantly with age( F=13.74, 97.47, 28.31 and 88.68, all P<0.001). NRS2002 was conducted on 10 182 patients.Of them, 10.14%(895/10 182)suffered malnutrition(BMI≤18.5 kg/m 2), and 46.42%(4 726/10 182)were at nutritional risk(NRS2002 score≥3). Nutrition deficiency and nutritional risk showed upward trends with age( F=43.41 and 177.05, both P<0.001). A total of 9 755 patients(95.79%, 9 755/10 182)completed the MNA-SF.Of them, 14.67%(1 431/9 755)had malnutrition, 35.04%(3 418/9 755)were at risk of malnutrition, and 50.29%(4 906/9 755)had normal nutritional status.The incidence of malnutrition and the risk of malnutrition significantly increased with age( F=172.79, 12.10 and 152.42, all P<0.05). Nutritional risk(NRS2002 score≥3)was related to age, BMI, mortality, infectious complications, length of hospital stay and total hospital cost(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of malnutrition and the risk of malnutrition are high in elderly inpatients in China.Nutritional risk is an influencing factor for adverse clinical outcomes.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for early acute lung injury (ALI) after living-related liver transplantation in pediatric patients and evaluate the value of the risk factors in prediction of ALI.Methods:Perioperative data of patients were obtained through the electronic medical records system. Patients were divided into non-ALI group and ALI group according to whether ALI occurred within the first week after surgery. The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.05 would enter the multiple logistic regression analysis to stratify ALI-related risk factors. Area under the ROC curve was used to analyze the value of the risk factors in prediction of postoperative ALI. Results:A total of 67 patients were enrolled, including 45 cases in non-ALI group and 22 cases in ALI group. Increased intraoperative blood transfusion volume and up-regulated expression of miR-122 and miR-21 were independent risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative ALI ( P<0.05), and the area under the ROC curve (95% confidence interval) of serum miR-122 and miR-21 expression was 0.946 (0.875 to 1.00), with sensitivity and specificity of 95% and 90%, respectively. Conclusions:Increased intraoperative blood transfusion volume and up-regulated expression of serum miR-122 and miR-21 are independent risk factors for early postoperative ALI, and serum miR-122 and miR-21 levels have a high value in prediction of the development of postoperative ALI in pediatric patients undergoing living-related liver transplantation.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the hemostatic role of hemocoagulase in abdominal operation and its effects on coagulation.
METHODS180 patients receiving abdominal operation were studied prospectively by randomized, double-blind controlled and multicenter design. They were divided into Hemocoagulase group (60 patients), lizhixue group (60), and manitol hexanitrate group (60). The groups were, observed in terms of the effects on hemostatic time, hemorrhagic volume, hemorrhagic volume per square unit, and body coagulation (BT, CT, PT, APTT and PLT) parameters.
RESULTSThe groups received different drugs. The average hemostatic time in the hemocoagulase group was 121.6 s, hemorrhagic volume was 9.6 g, and hemorrhagic volume per square unit was 0.2 g. The similar results were observed in the lizhixue group (P > 0.05), but they were significantly different (P < 0.05) from those of the manitol hexanitrate group (159.2 s, 12.49 g, 0.3 g). In the hemocoagulase and lizhixue groups hemorrhagic and hemoagglution time decreased 30 minutes and 1 day after operation. This finding was significantly differenct from that in the manitol hexanitrate group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONHemocoagulase plays a good hemostatic role in the hemorrhagic capillary at abdominal incision.

From June 2015 to June 2020, 52 patients who underwent emergency gastroscopy and treatment for upper gastrointestinal bleeding after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were included and retrospectively analyzed. The etiologic diagnosis of bleeding, results of hemostatic treatment and occurrence of complications during the emergency gastroscopy were observed. Among the 52 patients, 47 cases (90.4%) were found to have lesions that could explain upper gastrointestinal bleeding under emergency gastroscopy, and the remaining 5 cases (9.6%) could not clearly diagnose the cause of bleeding. Twenty-six cases (50.0%) were treated with emergency endoscopic hemostasis, of which 25 cases (96.2%) were successful. The median time for emergency endoscopy was 18 min. Seven cases (13.5%) had transient slowing of heart rate and lowering of blood pressure without serious complications. This shows that emergency gastroscopy is safe and effective in the diagnosis and treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding combined with post-PCI.

Objective To investigate the influences of culture conditions on the in vitro induction and maturation of dendritic cells by using different combinations of cytokines. -ethods Mouse bone mar-row cells were isolated and cultured in media containing varying combinations of cytokines, including granu-locyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L). After cultured at 37℃ for seven days, the attached bone marrow cells were collected and stained by fluorescence-labeled monoclonal antibodies (McAb) against CD11c, MHCⅡ and CD86 for flow cytometry analysis. In the parallel group, LPS was added on day 5 to a final concentration of 1μg/ml for DC maturation analysis by flow cytometry. Results In group Flt3L (20 ng/ml)/GM-CSF (20 ng/ml)/IL-4 (10 ng/ml), 90% of bone marrow cells were CD11c-positive. Flt3L (100 ng/ml) could induce 88% of bone marrow cells to express CD11c. Bone marrow cells positive for MHCⅡ accounted for 35. 4% and 36. 1% in group Flt3L/GM-CSF/IL-4 and group Flt3L/GM-CSF, where both Flt3L and GM-CSF were used at a concentration of 20 ng/ml. After LPS stimulation, the positive rates of MHCⅡ in group Flt3L/GM-CSF/IL-4 and group Flt3L/GM-CSF were 58. 1% and 59. 6%, which increased by 22. 7% and 23. 5%, re-spectively. The percentages of CD86-positive bone marrow cells were 7. 1% and 5. 5% in group Flt3L/GM-CSF/IL-4 and group Flt3L/GM-CSF. Bone marrow cells positive for CD86 grew by 7. 1% and 6. 2% in group Flt3L (20 ng/ml) and group GM-CSF/IL-4 after LPS stimulation. Conclusions Flt3L and GM-CSF probably dominated the differentiation and maturation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells with a synergis-tic effect. Combined usage of Flt3L and GM-CSF at the concentration of 20 ng/ml would be an optimal proto-col for DC research.
