Objective To investigate the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on stress hyperglycemia in patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods Patients matched inclusion and exclusion standards were divided into two groups. The patients after PD before the implementation of ERAS programme were named as the control group (40 cases). The patients after PD with the implementation of ERAS programme were named as the experimental group (52 cases). The fast blood glucose (FBG) in postoperative day (POD) 1, 3, 7 and the volatility of capillary blood glucose during postoperative 3 days were compared between the two groups. Results The FBG in POD1, POD3, POD7 were (8.27 ± 1.99), (6.78 ± 1.22), (5.97 ± 1.21) mmol/L in the experimental group respectively, and the FBG in POD1, POD3, POD7 were (10.46 ± 5.17), (7.88 ± 2.98), (7.29 ± 2.94) mmol/L in the control group respectively, there were significant differences between two groups (t=2.545, 2.219, 2.683, all P<0.05). The volatility of capillary blood glucose during postoperative 3 days in the experimental group were (3.47± 1.98), (3.16 ± 1.46), (2.74 ± 1.49) mmol/L respectively, and the volatility of capillary blood glucose during postoperative 3 days in the control group were (4.13±2.36), (3.26±1.59), (4.07±2.74) mmol/L respectively, no significant differences were found in the volatility of capillary blood glucose in POD1 and POD2 between the two groups (t=1.479, 0.308, all P > 0.05), while significant differences were found in the volatility of capillary blood glucose in POD3 between the two groups (t=2.739, P<0.05). Conclusions It can be concluded that ERAS may be useful to decrease stress hyperglycemia and the volatility of capillary blood glucosein patients after PD, and accelerate the recovery of patients after PD.

Objective To describe the public discrimination against patients with mental disorders,and to explore its influencing factors.Methods This study was a descriptive study.A total of 1 378 public received the survey.The survey instruments include general information questionnaire and assessment scale of discrimination against patients with mental disorders.Results The scores of the scale of discrimination against patients with mental disorders was (2.07± 0.61).The score of risk dimension was higher(2.17±0.87),and the ability dimension was lower(1.65±0.64).Multiple regression analysis showed that factors influencing the total score of the scale were type of investigation objects,age,gender,educational background,contact degree and life connection degree to the patients with mental disorders.Conclusion Because psychiatric patients had perceived stigma,and social demographic factors,clinical factors,social and psychological factors could influence their perceived stigma,so the nurse should pay more attention to discrimination against patients,and reduce or eliminate the discrimination toward the patients,then promote recovery of the patients.

RNA interference mediated by short interfering RNA is widely used to study functional genes and also being developed for therapeutic applications. However, recent study demonstrated that siRNA might activate innate immune system and induce huge production of inflammatory cytokines in mammals, and also randomly inhibit expression of undesired genes. Designing highly effective siRNAs or modifying the siRNA to retain or enhance the silence efficiency and meanwhile abolish the off-target effects associated with immunostimulation then become the key techniques in application of siRNAs as safe and effective therapeutic agents.

Objective To explore the effects of intraventricular administration of insulin on the expressions of Bcl-2,Bax mRNA and neuronal hippocampus apoptosis in rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods This experiment was implemented in the animal Laboratory center of Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University.Thirty male SD rats were randomly (random number)divided into three groups:control group (n=6),CPR group (n=12),insulin treated group ( n =12).CPR was performed at 6 minutes after ventricular fibrillation induced by transesophageal overdrive pacing.Resuscitation procedures lasted until restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).ROSC was defined as the recovery of the supraventricular heart rates and the increase of mean arterial pressure (MAP) ＞ 60mmHg for more than 10 minutes.Ten minutes after ROSC in rats,12.5 μL ( 1 U) regular insulin was injected into the left ventricle in the insulin group,and 12.5 μL isotonic saline was injected the control and CPR groups at least 10 minutes.Real-time PCR was used to observe the expressions of Bcl-2,Bax mRNA in hippocampus CAI after reperfusion 24 h and 72 h.TUNEL staining was used to observe the neuronal apoptosis in all groups after reperfusion 7 days.Blood glucose was monitored in rats before and after CPR.Results ① The Bcl-2mRNA in insulin groups were significantly higher than those in the CPR group after 24 h and 72 h (P ＜0.01 ).The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in 24 h insulin group were significantly higher than those in 72 h insulin group ( P ＜ 0.01 ) ; There were no significantly different in the Bax mRNA between insulin groups and the CPR and the control group after 24 h and 72 h ( P ＞ 0.05 ) ; ②After CPR 7 d,the apoptotic neurons of hippocampal CA1 area in the CPR group ( 124.75 ± 17.35 ) were significantly higher than those in the control group (5.12 ± 3.26) ( P ＜ 0.01 ) and the insulin group (92.79 ± 7.35 )(P ＜0.01 ); the apoptotic neurons in the insulin group were higher than those in the control group (P ＜0.0l ),and the differences were statistically significant.③There were no significant difference in venous blood glucose in the CPR and insulin groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Insulin may regulate Bcl-2mRNA expression in hippocampus,inhibit neuronal apoptosis and protect neurons after CPR in rats.

Primary biliary cholangitis is a chronic intrahepatic cholestatic liver disease and has increasing incidence and prevalence rates, as is reported in the literature. Examination of specific antibodies including serum anti-mitochondrial antibody subtype M2 and liver histopathological examination help to make a definite diagnosis of this disease. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is often used for the treatment of this disease, but patients with an unsatisfactory biochemical response to UDCA tend to have rapid disease progression. At present, there are no effective treatment methods for such patients. The addition of budesonide, fenofibrate, bezafibrate, or obeticholic acid may be effective in these patients, but this needs to be verified by further clinical studies.

Objective To study the mechanism of ferulic acid(FA)on hepatic fibrosis(HF)based on network pharmacology,and establish an in vitro model of rat hepatic stellate Cell-T6(HSC-T6)according to the results.Methods The potential targets of FA were screened through PubChem,swisstargetprediction and pharmmapper,and overlapped with the FA targets screened in disgenet,genecards and OMIM.Then,protein protein interaction(PPI)was analyzed by using string platform.Gene ontology(go)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis were carried out for key targets by using R64 4.0.3,and the"component target disease"network diagram was constructed by Cytoscape 3.7.2 software.Based on this,the proliferation of HSC-T6 was detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)method,and the grouping was determined:blank group and low-dose group(100 μg·mL-1 FA),medium dose group(200 μg·mL-1 FA),high dose group(400 μg·mL-1 FA)and positive control group(200 μg·mL-1 colchicine),the migration ability of HSC-T6 was detected by scratch test,and the content of HSC-T6 was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)α-Alpha smooth muscle actin,α-Flow cytometry was used to detect the changes of HSC-T6 cycle,quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the relative expression of JAK2 and STAT3 mRNA,and Western Blot was used to detect the molecular expression of JAK2 and STAT3 protein.Results 254 intersection targets of FA and HF were obtained.The core targets were signal transducer and activvator of Transcription(STAT3),albumin(ALB),protein kinase B(AKT1),tumor suppressor protein p53(TP53),epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)and caspase-3(CASP3).KEGG analysis showed that the action pathway of FA on HF mainly involved phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase protein kinase B(PI3K-Akt),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription(JAK/STAT)Tumor necrosis factor(TNF)and other pathways.The experimental results showed that in CCK-8 experiment,scratch experiment and ELISA experiment,compared with the blank group,the cell proliferation rate,migration ability and the expression of α-SMA protein decreased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with the blank group,the cycle arrest rate of low,medium and high dose groups and positive control group increased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with the blank group,the molecular weight and mRNA expression of JAK2 and STAT3 protein in low,medium and high dose groups and positive control group decreased gradually(P<0.05).Conclusion FA has the characteristics of multi-channel and multi-target.FA may inhibit the apoptosis of hepatic stellate cell(HSC)by down regulating JAK2 and STAT3 targets.

Objective:To investigate the application of endoscopic ultrasound-guided liver biopsy (EUS-LB) to liver transplant recipients.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 12 liver transplant recipients who underwent EUS-LB by the same endoscopist and specimens were diagnosed and reported by the same pathologist due to abnormal liver function or need to be evaluated for graft fibrosis in the Organ Transplantation Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were enrolled into the EUS-LB group from December 2021 to March 2022, meanwhile, a total of 23 patients whose PLB was completed by the same hepatologist and specimens were diagnosed by the same pathologist during the same period were enrolled in the PLB group. Acquisition of liver specimens and postoperative adverse events of the two groups were compared.Results:Patients in both groups were punctured 1-2 times on average, and the median total length of liver specimens in the EUS-LB group was significantly longer than that in the PLB group (61 mm VS 17 mm, Z=11.362, P=0.002). There was no significant difference in the length of the longest liver specimens between the two groups (17.6±6.9 mm VS 13.7±3.5 mm, t=2.382, P=0.086), while the number of liver specimens in the EUS-LB group was more than that in the PLB group (4.8±2.1 VS 2.3±1.2, t=9.271, P=0.001). The number of complete portal tracts was 11.3±4.6 in the EUS-LB group and 6.2±3.3 in the PLB group ( t=8.457, P=0.003). Abdominal pain was the only postoperative adverse event, and only 1 patient in the EUS-LB group had postoperative abdominal pain, which was fewer than that in the PLB group [8.3% (1/12) VS 43.5% (10/23), χ2=4.893, P=0.036]. Conclusion:Compared with PLB, EUS-LB delivers longer liver biopsy specimens with more complete portal tracts in liver transplant recipients, and fewer recipients complain about postoperative pain in EUS-LB group. Therefore, EUS-LB is a safer, more effective and more comfortable liver biopsy method.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with de-novo non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (de-novo NAFLD) and patients with de-novo NAFLD combined with metabolic syndrome (MS) after liver transplantation (LT) , and to determine the related risk factors.Methods:Patients who underwent LT at the Organ Transplantation Center, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, from Jan. 2016 to Oc. 2020 and were monitored until Oct. 2021 were gathered. The recipients were divided into the group with/without de-novo NAFLD, and LT recipients with de-novo NAFLD were divided into the group with/without combined MS. Clinical characteristics of the LT recipients with de-novo NAFLD combined with MS were analyzed. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for LT recipients with de-novo NAFLD and those with combined MS.Results:A total of 324 LT recipients with a median follow-up of 2.9 years (range: 2.0-4.3 years) were included in the study. De-novo NAFLD was diagnosed in 21.0% (68/324) of the LT recipients, and MS was diagnosed in 44.1% (30/68) of these patients. Compared with LT recipients without de-novo NAFLD, those with de-novo NAFLD had higher preoperative body mass index (BMI) , blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin levels and lower platelet levels, and longer postoperative follow-up, higher BMI, waist circumference, albumin, triglycerides (TG) , low-density lipoprotein (LDL) , blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin levels, and the incidence of MS (all P<0.05) . Preoperative platelets, glucose, postoperative albumin, LDL and BMI were independent risk factors for predicting de-novo NAFLD after LT (all P<0.05) . Preoperative glucose performed well in predicting the occurrence of de-novo NAFLD (threshold: 5.5mmol/L, P<0.001, AUC=0.678) . The differences in Pre-LT blood glucose, post-LT BMI, waist circumference, prevalence of prediabetes or diabetes, fatty liver index (FLI) , and NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) between de-novo NAFLD LT recipients with and without combined MS were significantly different (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of de-novo NAFLD after LT is noteworthy, and LT recipients with de-novo NAFLD are more likely to have a combination with MS. In preoperative treatment, keeping blood glucose to 5.5 mmol/L or below trends helps to lower the risk of de-novo NAFLD following LT. LT recipients’ nutritional state and lipid levels require prompt care. High albumin levels might not be a desirable thing. De-novo NAFLD LT recipients with concomitant prediabetes or diabetes may imply an increased risk of developing comorbid MS during the post-LT follow-up. Controlling FLI levels in LT recipients with de-novo NAFLD may reduce the risk of developing comorbid MS.
