Objective:Cardiac arrest (CA) represents a significant public health challenge, posing a substantial threat to individual health and survival. To enhance the survival rates of patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), Baoan District in Shenzhen City has undertaken exploratory initiatives and practical interventions, yielding promising preliminary outcomes.Methods:1.Innovate emergency medical services by developing a "four-circle integration" system that connects to the hospital. This system encompasses the social emergency medical system, the out-of-hospital emergency medical system, the in-hospital emergency medical service system, and the intensive care treatment system. 2.Develop a comprehensive model for the construction of a social emergency medical training system, characterized by party leadership, government oversight, departmental coordination, professional guidance, technological support, and community involvement, termed the "Baonan Model." Additionally, establish evaluation criteria to assess the effectiveness of the social emergency medical training system in Baonan District; 3. Develop a cardiac arrest registration system and a social emergency medical training management system for Baonan District; 4. Enhance the proficiency in treatment techniques and the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among emergency medical professionals; 5. Strengthen and advance the development of a "five-minute social rescue network" to address the critical "emergency window period." .Result:In Baonan District, 9.18% of the public is trained in emergency medical skills. The bystander CPR rate for OHCA is 26.11%, AED use is at 4.78%, the 30-day survival rate is 6.31%, and the discharge survival rate is 4.44%.Conclusion:The implementation of the aforementioned measures can substantially enhance the survival rate of patients experiencing OHCA at the time of discharge.

Objective To explore the automated identification and diameter measurement methods for inferior vena cava (IVC) based on clinical ultrasound images of IVC. Methods An automated identification and localization method based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm was proposed. Tracking algorithm was used for identifying and continuously locating to improve the efficiency and accuracy of measurement. Tests were conducted on 18 sets of ultrasound data collected from 18 patients in intensive care unit (ICU),with clinicians' measurements as the gold standard. Results The recognition accuracy of the automated method was 94.44% (17/18),and the measurement error of IVC diameter was within the range of±1.96s (s was the standard deviation). The automated method could replace the manual method. Conclusion The proposed IVC automated identification and localization algorithm based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm has high recognition success rate and IVC diameter measurement accuracy. It can assist clinicians in identifying and locating IVC,so as to improve the accuracy of IVC measurement.

Objective:To investigate the effect of sodium octanoate on renal-intestinal ischemia- reperfusion injury (IRI) after resuscitation from traumatic cardiac arrest in pigs.Methods:Twenty-two miniature piglets with a body weight of (37.6±2.5)kg were divided into three groups according to the random-number table method: normal group ( n=7), IRI group ( n=7) and IRI-treated group ( n=8). A renal-intestinal IRI model of the pig was established by allowing femoral artery to bleed through blood pump at a rate of 2 ml·kg -1·min -1 until cardiac arrest, followed by whole blood transfusion through the femoral vein at a rate of 5 ml·kg -1·min -1 after observation for 6 minutes, and 50% of total blood loss was reinfused before resuscitation. Both the IRI group and IRI-treated group were with IRI model, while normal group was just monitored without induction of IRI. Besides, IRI-treated group was injected intravenously with sodium octanoate (30 mg/kg) for 1 hour at 5 minutes after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). (1) The rate of resuscitation success, survival rate at 4, 24 hours after resuscitation, blood loss when reaching cardiac arrest criteria and resuscitation time when reaching the ROSC criteria were compared in the three groups. (2) Levels of serum creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen (BUN), intestinal fatty acid binding protein (iFABP) and diamine oxidase (DAO) were measured before resuscitation and at 1, 2, 4, 24 hours after resuscitation. (3) The animals were sacrificed at 24 hours post-resuscitation to harvest renal and intestinal tissues rapidly. TUNEL test was applied for the cellular apoptosis index. Prussian blue was used to detect the rate of iron deposition. Western blot analysis was used to measure levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member4 (ACSL4). Results:In three groups, all pigs survived. There was no significant difference in blood loss or resuscitation time between IRI group and IRI-treated group (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in levels of SCr, BUN, iFABP or DAO before resuscitation and at 1, 2, 4, 24 hours after resuscitation in normal group (all P>0.05). But their levels were gradually increased at 1, 2, 4, 24 hours after resuscitation from that before resuscitation in IRI group and IRI-treated group (all P<0.01). Among three groups, levels of SCr, BUN, iFABP and DAO had no significant difference before resuscitation (all P>0.05), but showed obvious increase in IRI group and the IRI-treated group at 1, 2, 4, 24 hours after resuscitation compared with normal group, especially in IRI group (all P<0.01). In normal group, IRI group and IRI-treated group after 24 hours for resuscitation, the cellular apoptosis index of renal tissues was (2.3±0.8)%, (44.0±5.4)% and (13.8±4.3)%; the cellular apoptosis index of intestinal tissues was (2.6±0.9)%, (61.3±10.4)% and (20.8±3.7)%; the rate of iron deposition of renal tissues was (0.6±0.1)%, (3.9±1.0)% and (1.7±0.3)%; the rate of iron deposition of intestinal tissues was (0.8±0.1)%, (4.9±0.9)% and (2.1±0.5)% (all P<0.01). The cellular apoptosis index and rate of iron deposition of both renal and intestinal tissues were the highest in IRI group. The renal-intestinal expression of GPX4 in IRI group and IRI-treated group was lower than that in normal group at 24 hours after resuscitation (all P<0.05), with the lowest in IRI group. The renal-intestinal expression of ACSL4 in IRI group and IRI-treated group was higher than that in normal group at 24 hours after resuscitation (all P< 0.01), with the highest in IRI group. Conclusion:Sodium octanoate can reduce renal-intestinal IRI after resuscitation from traumatic cardiac arrest in pigs, the mechanism for which is probably due to that sodium octanoate can inhibit cellular apoptosis and reduce ferroptosis by regulating the expression levels of GPX4 and ACSL4.

Objective:To share the implementation experience of hierarchical first aid training scheme for elementary and middle school students in Baoan District of Shenzhen City and evaluate its effect of training. Methods:During August 2018 and August 2019, elementary and middle schools students who participated in the first aid training held by emergency rescue training center of Baoan District were enrolled. Baseline information including the number of students, the number of attending tutors, the number of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training models, automated external defibrillator (AED) models were recorded. According to hierarchical levels of three age, students received different courses with content from simple to hard: the course of elementary school students was consisting of dialing 120, smart animation on how to identify accidental damage, demonstration of AED and Hemlick techniques, CPR practise (40 minutes). The course of junior high school students was consisted of how to dial 120, how to identify accidental damage and simple disposal, application of CPR and AED, practice CPR and AED and Hemlick techniques (90 minutes). The course of high school students was consisted of how to dial 120, identify accidental damage and right disposal, identification of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the key-point of CPR and AED, practice CPR and AED, Hemlick techniques and hemostatic bandage (120 minutes). At the end of course, elementary school students were voluntary for skill assessment; junior high school students only were compulsory for skill assessment in small classes but not required in large classes, just for demonstration; additionally, the whole high school students were compulsory for skill assessment. The characteristics of first aid training students at different levels were collected in order to compare the differences on the usage of CPR training model and AED training model, the distribution of emergency resource, the ratio for passing examination.Results:A total of 12 896 students and 2 086 training instructors took parted in 200 lists of first aid training courses, 8 557 CPR models and 8 493 AED models were used. On average, there are 65.27±5.61 students in each session, and 10.52±10.43 training instructors. There are 43.09±19.06 CPR training models and 42.77±18.61 AED training models. The mean ratio of student to tutor was 6.07±1.47, student to CPR model was 1.54±1.02, and student to AED model was 1.54±1.03. In the end of course, 10 494 students participated in the examination with the participation rate of 81.37%; 10 114 students passed the examination with the passing rate of 96.38%. Hierarchical analysis showed: compare to elementary school students, the average number of junior high school students in every training session significantly increased (cases: 69.94±8.77 vs. 58.69±6.12, P < 0.05), but the average number of high school students in every training session significantly decreased (cases: 57.35±5.79 vs. 58.69±6.12, P < 0.05). The proportion of instructors in junior high school students' training significantly reduced (5.94±1.39 vs. 6.48±2.02, P < 0.05). The examination ratio of junior high school students and high school students was increased significantly [81.07% (6 667/8 224), 100% (2 313/2 313) vs. 64.18% (1 514/2 359), both P < 0.05], but the ratio of passing the examination was significantly reduced [95.47% (6 365/6 667), 96.88% (2 241/2 313) vs. 99.60%(1 508/1 514), both P < 0.01]. This might be related to the low difficulty of elementary school students' assessment and the low proportion of compulsory examination. Conclusions:Hierarchical scheme is feasible for first aid training in elementary and middle school students, the content of course should be desighed from easy to hard. Synchronously, sufficient training instructors and training models should be equipped to ensure the quality.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the current situation, screening, clinical characteristics, prevention and treatment of bleeding esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension in Tibet region.Methods:Clinical data of cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension through March 2017 to February 2020 from Tibet region were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Results:511 cases with liver cirrhosis were included in the study, of which 185 cases (36.20%) had compensated cirrhosis and 326 cases (63.80%) had decompensated cirrhosis. Further analysis of the etiological data of liver cirrhosis showed that 306 cases (59.88%) were of chronic hepatitis B, 113 cases (22.11%) of alcoholic liver disease, and 68 cases (13.31%) of chronic hepatitis B combined with alcoholic liver disease. Among patients with compensated liver cirrhosis, 48 cases (25.95%) underwent endoscopic examination of which 33 diagnosed as high-risk variceal bleeding. However, none of these 33 cases had received non-selective β-blocker therapy, and only four patients had received endoscopic variceal banding therapy. Among patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, 83 cases (25.46%) had a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 297 cases (91.10%) had ascites, 23 cases (7.05%) had hepatic encephalopathy, and 3 cases (0.92%) had hepatorenal syndrome. Among the patients with a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 42 cases (50.60%) had received secondary preventive treatment for bleeding esophageal varices, including 39 cases of endoscopic treatment, 1 case of endoscopic combined drug treatment, 3 cases of interventional treatment, and 2 cases of surgical treatment.Conclusion:Chronic hepatitis B and alcoholic liver diseases are the main causes of liver cirrhosis in Tibet region. Moreover, this region lacks screening, prevention and treatment for bleeding esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the screening of high-risk groups to prevent and improve the first-time bleeding, and promote multidisciplinary team to prevent and treat re-bleeding.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an important pathological stage of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characterized by hepatocyte fatty degeneration, liver injury, and liver inflammation and can further develop into liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a multi-protein complex in cells and can induce cell apoptosis and expand inflammatory response by activating caspase-1 and releasing mature inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β and interleukin-18. Recent studies have found that NLRP3 inflammasome may participate in the development and progression of NASH. Therefore, this article summarizes the role of NLRP3 inflammasome in NASH, so as to provide a theoretical basis for future research and treatment.

[Objectives]To investigate the protective effects of recombinant Trichinella spiralis excretory-secretory 53ku pro-tein(rTsP53)on acute lung injuries in mice.[Methods]Thirty Balb/c mice were randomly divided into normal group. ALI group and rTsP53 group(n=10,respectively). Macrophages were harvested by bronchoalveolar lavage. Mortality in 72 hours was counted and compared. Pathological damage of lung tissues was observed by HE staining and graded by Smith score. Wet/dry ratio was measured. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid concertration of IL-6 and IL-4 was measured by ELISA. The mRNA expression of TNF-α,iNOS, IL-10 and Arg-1 in alveolar lavage macrophages was detected by RT-PCR.[Results]72 h mortality of ALI mice was 70%,which was reduced to 30% in mice received rTsP53 treatment. Compared with ALI mice,the pathological damage of in rTsP53 treated-mice was improved and Smith score was declined ,combined with descending W/D ratio. IL-6 level of alveolar lavage fluid was elevated in ALI mice compared with normal group. And alveolar lavage macrophage was polarized to M2 sub-type,appeared as higher mRNA expression of TNF-α and iNOS and lower level of IL-10 and Arg-1. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid concentration of IL-6 was declined and IL-4 was elevated in rTsP53-treated mice compared with ALI group. The macrophages of alveolar wash had higher mRNA expression of IL-10 and Arg-1,while lower level of TNF-α and iNOS,manifesting M2 polarization characteristics.[Conclusion]Recombinant T.spiralis P53 protein could protect mice from acute lung injuries induced by LPS via modulating M2 macrophage polarization,which play a role in depression of inflammatory reaction and tissue repairment.
