Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of trans-anal ileus tube combined with laparoscopy for left-side acute malignant colorectal obstruction.Methods From March 2007 to April 2011,49 patients with left-side acute malignant colorectal obstruction were treated by trans-anal ileus tube.Curative effects were evaluated according to abdominal circumference,intra-abdominal pressure,drainage volume,patient's symptom relief and imaging examinations.After irrigation and drainage ranged from 9 - 11 d,the radical operations and anastomosis were performed by laparoscopy.Results The trans-anal ileus tube was successfully implanted in 45 patients.Abdominal circumference decreased from ( 101.0 ± 5.0) cm to (87.0 ± 3.0) cm (P=0.020) ; intra-abdominal pressure decreased from (26.5 ± 3.4) cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa) to ( 13.7 ± 2.8) cm H20 (P=0.015) ;drainage volume was 800 - 2500 ml/d.Estimated through X ray and CT,obstruction was relieved.Forty patients were performed radical resection and first stage anastomosis by laparoscopy after decompression,and there was no serious complication.Conclusion Decompression and drainage through trans-anal ileus tube combined with laparoscopic for left-side acute malignant colorectal obstruction were coincided with the principle of damage control surgery and fast track surgery.

Objective To investigate the aging-related changes in gap junction protein-connexin 43 (Cx 43) in rats and their effect on the high incidence rate of ventricular arrhythmia in aged rats. Methods The 64 healthy male Fischer 344 (F344) rats were randomly divided into four age groups (n=16,each): 3-6 months (juvenile), 9-12 months (young-adult), 18-21 months (middle-aged) and 24-26 months (aged). The incidence rate of ventricular arrhythmia was recorded by monitoring their limb-lead Electroa rdiogram(ECG). Morphological changes of ventricular myocardium were observed under optical microscope in Hematoxylin (HE) and Masson's stain. The distribution of connexins 43 (Cx43) and deophosphatase (NP) Cx43 was observed by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy and the Cx43 and NP-Cx43 protein expression was assessed by Western-Blot. Results The incidence rate of ventricular arrhythmia was much higher in aged group (75.0%) than in other three groups (0%,0%,12.5%), all P＜0.05, and the aged group showed that ventricular muscle cells were hypertrophy and arrayed sparsely and disorderly with hyperplasia of connective tissues. The distribution of Cx43 changed from end-to-end to disordered arrangement and the total expression amount of Cx43 decreased as age increased (P＜0.05). The expression amount of NP-Cx43 in middle-aged rats was notably decreased than in juvenile and aged rats (P＜0.05). Conclusions For aged rats, the high incidence rate of ventricular arrhythmia may be associated with ventricular myocardium reconstruction, disarrangement of ventricular muscle cells and gap junction proteins, decreased expression amount of Cx43 and relatively increased NP-Cx43.

Objective To investigate the effect of GDNF on pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and chemotaxis.Methods The cell counting, MTT and flow cytometry were employed to investigate whether the neurotrophic factor GDNF can stimulate the proliferation of pancreatic carcinoma cells.Meanwhile, the trans-well invasion chamber was used to observe the chemotactic effect of GDNF on pancreatic cancer cells.Results The cells were exposed to incremental concentrations of human re-combinant GDNF (0-120 ng/mL).We found that the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells was stim-ulated by GDNF in a dose-dependent manner and the number of cells in "S" phenotype was increased;The count of cells was increased by GDNF in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion GDNF can stimu-late the proliferation and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To investigate small intestinal absorption behavior of oral collagen peptides microspheres in rats. Methods The everted gut sac (EGS) and Single-pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) model were established in Wistar rats (250-350 g, 5 months).The absorption of collagen peptide in different segments of rat small intestines was detected by BCAmethod. Results The cumulative transmittance of different particle size of calcium alginate/ Chitosan (SA/ CTS) microspheresin EGS experiments was that 500 μm microspheres<200 μm microspheres<10 μm microspheres ( P<0.01, except the jejunumintestine).The cumulative transmittance of microspheres ( 10 μm) was: SA/ CTS rate ( Ka ) and permeability rate ( Peff )microspheres> SA microspheres(duodenum segment, jejunum segment P<0.05;ileum segment, P<0.01).The absorption rate ofSA/ CTS microspheres was evidently higher than that of SA microspheres in SPIP experiments. Conclusion Small intestineabsorption of collagen peptides microspheres is correlated with particle size, and the chitosan in SA/ CTS microspheres isbeneficial to the absorption of collagen peptide in small intestine segments.

Objective:To explore the diagnosis, treatment and prognostic of pediatric intracranial atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor(AT/RT).Methods:A total of 15 pediatric patients with intracranial AT/RT were treated between January 2012 and June 2019 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Overall survival (OS) rate and progression free survival (PFS) rate were calculated by adopting Kaplan- Meier method.The differences between the 2 groups were tested by performing Log- rank method, and the prognostic factors were analyzed by COX regression. Results:There were 12 males and 3 females, with the median age of 5.5 years (ranging from 8 months to 17.1 years). All patients underwent surgical resection.Gross-total resection (GTR) was achieved in 10 cases and subtotal resection (STR) was carried out in 5 patients.The conducted treatments were as follows: surgery+ radiotherapy+ chemotherapy+ intrathecal injection in 6 cases, surgery+ chemotherapy+ intrathecal injection in 4 cases, surgery+ radiotherapy in 2 cases, and surgery alone in 3 cases.Until January 2020, the median survival time of all the 15 patients was 18 months (ranged 1-27 months), and the survival rate was 33.3%.The 1-year OS rate and PFS rate for all 15 cases were 71.5% and 49.7%, respectively.The 2-year OS rate and PFS rate were 17.9% and 0, respectively. Log- rank analyses revealed that the 1-year OS rates of children less than 3 years old and those older than 3 years were 87.5% and 57.1%, respectively ( χ2=6.057, P=0.014). The 1-year OS rates of children with GTR and those with STR were 90.0% and 40.0%, respectively ( χ2=6.057, P=0.014). The 1-year OS rates of children with tumor dissemination and those without tumor dissemination were 100.0% and 33.3%, respectively( χ2=9.865, P=0.002). The 1-year OS rates of children in the standard-risk group and those in the high-risk group were 88.9% and 41.7%, respectively ( χ2=5.111, P=0.024). COX regression analyses proved that age, the extent of tumor resection, tumor dissemination and risk stratification are independent risk factors for prognosis [hazard radio( HR)=3.411, 3.795, 5.245, 3.397; P=0.025, 0.011, 0.001, 0.017]. Conclusions:Pediatric intracranial AT/RT is rare.The preliminary diagnosis and prognosis are difficult and poor, respectively.The complete resection of tumors with maximal safety remains the primary treatment.Age, the extent of tumor resection, tumor dissemination and risk stratification are independent prognostic factors for AT/RT children.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficiency evaluation and prognostic factors of aspiration guided by neuronavigation in the treatment of pediatric brain abscess (PBA).Methods:A total of 47 patients with PBA were treated with aspiration guided by neuronavigation between January 2013 and January 2019 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.All clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.According to Glasgow Outcome Scale on discharge, all children were divided into 2 groups, namely good prognosis group and poor prognosis group.Prognostic factors were analyzed by using univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression multivariate analysis. Results:Among the 47 children, 38 children (80.9%) were assigned to the good prognosis group, and 9 children (19.1%) were assigned to the poor prognosis group.Univariate analysis proved that abscess volume>4 cm( χ2=5.650, P=0.017), multiple or multilocular abscess ( χ2=3.258, P=0.027), and abscess located in functional areas ( χ2=6.187, P=0.013) were correlated with poor prognosis.Multivariate analysis revealed that abscess volume>4 cm( OR=5.913, 95% CI: 2.241-25.917, P=0.023) and abscess located in functional areas ( OR=10.519, 95% CI: 3.918-62.513, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. Conclusion:The treatment of PBA with aspiration guided by neuronavigation is safe, effective and minimal invasive, and the clinical efficiency is satisfactory.Abscess volume>4 cm and abscess located in deepbrain/functional areas are independent risk factors for poor prognosis.

Objective:To screen out the potential key genes of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI), and provide theoretical and experimental evidence for the treatment of sepsis-associated AKI.Methods:① Bioinformatics analysis: two gene expression datasets (GSE30718 and GSE53773) were downloaded for bioinformatics analysis from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). These two datasets recorded mRNA microarray data from kidney biopsies before and after kidney transplantation, and a subset of patients developed AKI after kidney transplantation. Differential analysis was conducted, and the genes with the same differential expression and a higher area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) in both databases were used as the target gene for subsequent cell experiments. ② Cell validation experiment: human proximal renal tubular cells HK2 were cultured in vitro, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used for establishing LPS-HK2 cell model (LPS 10 mg/L for 6 hours, LPS model group), and the blank control group was set. Then, small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology was used to knock down the target gene obtained by bioinformatics analysis in LPS-HK2 cells (gene knockdown group), and a gene negative control group was set. The real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) technique was used to detect the expression of the target gene in HK2 cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors in the cell supernatants. Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of key apoptosis proteins. Results:① Results of bioinformatics analysis: 325 genes in the two datasets showed the same expression trend, of which 144 were significantly down-regulated and 181 were significantly up-regulated, while the expression difference of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) in the two datasets was both statistically significant. Further receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis confirmed that the SLPI expression in GSE30718 and GSE53773 datasets had a high diagnostic efficiency for AKI, with AUC of 0.83 and 0.92, respectively. Therefore, SLPI was selected as the target gene for subsequent cell validation experiment. ② Cell validation experiment: the RT-qPCR analysis showed that the expression of SLPI in LPS-HK2 cells of the LPS model group was significantly higher than that of the blank control group (2 -ΔΔCT: 1.80±0.14 vs. 1.00±0.11, P < 0.01), and the change trend was the same with the results of bioinformatics analysis. Furthermore, knockdown SLPI gene analysis showed that the levels of inflammatory factors in LPS-HK2 cells supernatants in the gene knockdown group were significantly higher than those in the negative control group [Interleukin-6 (IL-6, ng/L): 509.58±27.08 vs. 253.87±75.83, IL-1β (ng/L): 490.99±49.52 vs. 239.67±26.97, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α, ng/L): 755.22±48.66 vs. 502.06±10.92, all P < 0.01]. The above results indicated that SLPI could inhibit the inflammatory response of HK2 cells induced by LPS. The expressions of key apoptosis proteins Bax and caspase-3 in LPS-HK2 cells in the gene knockdown group were significantly higher than those in the negative control group [Bax protein (Bax/GAPDH): 1.38±0.12 vs. 1.00±0.10, caspase-3 protein (caspase-3/GAPDH): 1.44±0.15 vs. 1.00±0.11, both P < 0.05], and Bcl-2 expression was significantly decreased (Bcl-2/GAPDH: 0.83±0.08 vs. 1.00±0.05, P < 0.05), the above results indicated that SLPI could inhibit the apoptosis of cells in the inflammatory response. Conclusion:SLPI can inhibit the inflammatory response and apoptosis of HK2 cells induced by LPS, which may be involved in the protective mechanism of renal tubular cells in the response to sepsis, and is a potential target for the treatment of sepsis-associated AKI.

OBJECTIVE To understand the safety of Ilaprazole sodium for injection in clinical practice. METHODS From Jan. 1st 2019 to Feb. 29th 2020， the data of 3 926 valid hospitalized patients receiving Ilaprazole sodium for injection were collected prospectively from 5 third-level hospitals through CHPS， and the post-marketing safety analysis was performed by using retrospective multicenter single cohort study. At the same time， a nested case-control study （the ratio of trial group and control group was 1∶4） was used to confirm the baseline stability of this study cohort and the correlation between adverse reactions and Ilaprazole sodium for injection. RESULTS Among 3 926 patients， 3 patients experienced 5 adverse drug events after using Ilaprazole sodium for injection， with the incidence of 0.076%. There was no serious adverse event， and the occurrence time was 2 days after medication； adverse drug events mainly include elevated liver function indicators （alanine transaminase， aspartate transaminase， total bilirubin）， which were mild and untreated， and all adverse drug events were improved. The results of the nested case-control study showed that the trial group and the control group belonged to the same background baseline， and the occurrence of adverse drug events was more closely related to Ilaprazole sodium for injection. CONCLUSIONS The overall safety of Ilaprazole sodium for injection is relatively high， and the occurrence of adverse events is more related to it.
