Objective To determine the dose-effect curve of fentanyl with respect to the suppression of somatic or hemodynamic responses to skin incision when plasma propofol concentration was maintained at 3 ?g?ml-1 by target-controlled infusion (TCI) .Methods Twenty-four ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients aged 31-65 yrs undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study. Anesthesia was induced with TCIs of fentanyl and propofol. The patients were randomized to receive fentanyl by TCI at a target plasma concentration of 1.0, 1.5, 2.25 or3.38 ng?ml-1 . The target plasma propofol concentration was set at 3 ?g?ml-1 in all patients. The patients were intubated when the patients failed to respond to verbal command and eyelash reflex was lost. Tracheal intubation was facilitated with succinylcholine 1 mg?kg-1. MAP, HR, ECG and SpO2 were monitored before and during anesthesia. The duration between the start of TCIs and skin incision was longer than 30 min for fentanyl and 15 min for propofol to ensure that the effect-site drug concentrations reached the steady-state. The changes in BP and HR and body / limb movement and other signs of inadequate depth of anesthesia like lacrimation, flushing and sweating during and immediately after skin incision were recorded. The fentanyl plasma concentrations (predicted target concentration) at which 50% of the patients did not respond to skin incision (Cp50) were calculated. Results The Cp50 of fentanyl based on somatic response was 1.84 ng?ml-1 . Its 95% confidince interval ranged from 1.46 ng?ml-1 to 2.33 ng?ml-1 . The Cp50 of fentanyl based on hemodynamic response was 2.67 ng?ml-1 with a 95% confidence interval from 1.96 ng?ml-1 to3.62 ng?ml-1. Conclusion When anesthesia is induced with TCIs of propofol and fentanyl, if target plasma propofol is set at 3 ?g?ml-1 , target fentanyl plasma concentration should be set at least at 5.12 ng?ml-1 to ensure adequate depth of anesthesia for skin incision.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of diffusion weighted imaging and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods:37 cases of patients with neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy admitted in our hospital were selected as the study group,another 40 healthy neonates were selected as the control group,both groups of neonates underwent diffusion-weighted imaging and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy,ordinary MR1 and diffusion weighted imaging findings of neonates in the study group were observed,the neonatal cerebral metabolic compounds relative concentration were observed and compared between two groups.Results:The detection rate of diffusion-weighted imaging was significantly higher compared with the ordinary MRI (P<0.05).The relative ratio of brain metabolic compounds NAA/Cr of study group were obviously lower than those of the control group,while the Cho/Cr,MI/Cr,Glu-Glr/Cr,Lac/Cr were significantly higher (P<0.05).Conclusion:Diffusion weighted imaging combined with 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy could improve the diagnostic accuracy of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy,the analysis of the concentrations of brain metabolic compounds could contribute to evaluate the severity of HIE.

Objective To investigate the influence of early growth response gene-1 (EGR1) on the autophagy of host cells following infection with human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1).MethodsA HTLV-1-positive cell line MT2 was co-cultured with HeLa cells for 24 h to construct the virus early infection model.Immunoblotting assay was used to detect the expression of HTLV-1 core protein p19 and EGR1.Luciferase reporter gene analysis was used to detect the transcriptional activity of 5′-regulatory sequence of EGR1 at different time points after co-culturing.An effective small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting EGR1 was screened out and transfected into HeLa cells by Lipofectamine 2000.Then the transfected HeLa cells were co-cultured with the HTLV-1-positive cell line MT2 for 24 h.Immunoblotting assay was used to detect HTLV-1 core protein p19, EGR1 and autophagy-related protein LC3.Real-time PCR was performed to detect viral load.Autophagosome was analyzed by immunofluorescence after co-culturing.Results The expression of EGR1 and the transcriptional activity of pEGR1-luc gradually increased after co-culturing HeLa cells with MT2 cells for 8 h (P<0.01).The expression of EGR1 was positively correlated with host cell autophagy following HTLV-1 infection.The effective siRNA for silencing the expression of EGR1 was obtained and named as siE2.The viral load, the expression of HTLV-1 core protein p19 and the proportion of LC3B/LC3A in the co-culture model were markedly down-regulated by RNA interference with siE2, which was concomitant with a persistent decrease of intracellular autophagosome (P<0.01).Conclusion EGR1 is associated with host cell autophagy and viral replication in HTLV-1 infection.

China prospective multicenter birth cohort (Prospective Omics Health Atlas birth cohort, POHA birth cohort) study was officially launched in 2022. This study, in collaboration with 12 participating units, aims to establish a high-quality, multidimensional cohort comprising 20 000 naturally conceived families and assisted reproductive families. The study involves long-term follow-up of parents and offspring, with corresponding biological samples collected at key time points. Through multi-omics testing and analysis, the study aims to conduct multi-omics big data research across the entire maternal and infant life cycle. The goal is to identify new biomarkers for maternal and infant diseases and provide scientific evidence for risk prediction related to maternal diseases and neonatal health.
