Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of Rasburicase therapy in critically ill children su-ffering from advanced Burkitt′s lymphoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis of children with advanced Burkitt′s lymphoma was admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, from January 2015 to May 2020 and accepted treatment.According to the uric acid-lowering therapies, patients were divided into 2 groups, namely Rasburicase group (Group R) and traditional treatment group (Group T), to compare the effects of hypouricemic treatment and the prognosis between the 2 groups.Results:Twenty-nine children with advanced Burkitt′s lymphoma were included in this study, with 13 cases (44.83%) of stage Ⅲ and 16 cases (55.17%) of stage Ⅳ.Abdominal mass/ abdominal distension (13 cases, 44.83%) and abdominal pain (7 cases, 24.14%) were the main reasons of initial medical visit attendance.The most common primary tumor site was abdominal/ pelvic cavity (21 cases, 72.41%), followed by head or neck (6 cases, 20.69%). There were 15 cases in Group R and 14 cases in group T. No significant differences in serum creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase and uric acid were detected between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The proportion of serum uric acid recovery rate of 24 hours and 72 hours after initial treatment in Group R were significantly higher than those in T group (85.71% vs.25.00%, 100.00% vs.25.00%, all P<0.01). Although there were no obvious differences in the incidence of tumor lysis syndrome between the 2 groups (33.33% vs.64.29%, P=0.096), the incidence of acute renal injury, renal replacement therapy requirement, serious complications and the 28 day mortality in Group R were remarkably lower than those in Group T (33.33% vs.85.71%, 13.33% vs.64.29%, 20.00% vs.78.57%, 0 vs.35.71%, all P< 0.05). Conclusions:Rasburicase can effectively reduce the serum uric acid level and decrease the incidence of acute kidney injury and other severe complications, thus improving the prognosis of children experiencing advanced Burkitt′s lymphoma.

The protective effect of carvedilol on abnormality of L-type calcium current induced by oxygen free radical in single guinea pig ventricular myocytes was studied. Whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to study the effect of H2O2 (0.5 mmol/L) on L-type calcium current in single guinea pig ventricular myocytes and the action of pretreatment with carvedilol (0.5 micromol/L). 0.5 micromol/L carvedilol had no significant effect on ICa,L and its channel dynamics. In the presence of 0.5 mmol/L H2O2, peak current of ICa,L was reduced significantly (P<0.001), the I-V curve of ICa,L was shifted upward, steady-state activation curve and steady-state deactivation curve of ICa,L were shifted left and recovery time of ICa,L was delayed significantly (P<0.001). 0.5 micromol/L carvedilol significantly alleviated the inhibitory effect of H2O2 on ICa,L as compared with that in H2O2 group (P<0.01). In addition, carvedilol reversed the changes of dynamics of ICa,L induced by H2O2. It was concluded that carvedilol could alleviate the abnormality of L-type calcium current induced by oxygen free radical in cardiomyocytes. It shows partly the possible mechanism of the special availability of carvedilol in chronic heart failure.

[Absract] Objective This paper was designed to reveal the new mechanism on ASI Ⅱ triggered CD4+T cells activation via regulating CD45 molecular and provide a basis for the theoretical foundation of antitumor immunotherapy of Astragalus.Methods The CD4+T cells were randomly divided into negative group,stimulated control group,ASI Ⅱ group,CD45 inhibitor group,and the combination of ASI Ⅱ and CD45 inhibitor group.Besides negative group,the cells from other groups were activated by anti-CD3/CD28 antibody.ASI Ⅱ group was treated with 10 nmol/L ASI Ⅱ,CD45 inhibitor group was treated with 0.8 μmol/L CD45 inhibitor,and the combination group were treated with 10 nmol/L ASI Ⅱ and 0.8 iμmol/L CD45 inhibitor.After 36h culture,the proliferation of CD4+T cells was detected by Ki-67 intracellular staining assay.Cytokine production of Th1 and Th2 were examined ELISA method.The proportion of surface marker (CD44 and CD25)and Th1 intracellular cytokines (IFN-γ) were detected by flow cytometry.Results Compared with stimulated group,Astragaloside Ⅱ group in CD4+Ki67+T positive proportion (5.37％ ± 0.92％ vs.1.19％ ± 0.23％),in CD4+CD25+ positive proportion (50.23％ ± 4.65 ％ vs.15.89％ ± 1.13％),in CD4+CD44+ positive proportion (33.16％ ± 6.08％ vs.15.36％ 4 1.45％),in CD4+IFN-γ+ positive proportion (1.42％ ± 0.44 ％ vs.0.38％ ± 0.06％) were significntly increased.And the secretion of IFN-γ,IL-4 and IL-2 in ASI Ⅱ group were higher than stimulated group.The anti-mouse CD45 Ab treatment markedly blocked the proliferation and Th1 cytokines production which induced by ASI Ⅱ.Furthermore,the anti-mouse CD45 Ab treatment significantly decreased the expression of surface marker (CD44 and CD25).Conclusions Activating CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase may be involved in ASI Ⅱ triggered CD4+T cells activation.This study will provide a basis for antitumor immunotherapy of Astragalus.

To study the effect of of lidocaine and amiodarone on the transmural heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization in isolated rabbit hearts model of sustained global ischemia and to explore the mechanisms underlying the antiarrhythmic activity of lidocaine and amiodarone, rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, ischemia group, lidocaine group and amiodarone group. By the monophasic action potential (MAP) recording technique, MAPs of recorded across the left ventricular free wall in rabbit hearts perfused transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR) and arrhythmic induced by ischemia. Our results showed that TDR of three myocardial layers in ischemia group were significantly lengthened after ischemia. TDR was increased from 17.5±3.9 ms to 31.2±4.6 ms at the time that concided with the onset of sustained ventricle arrhythmic. Amiodarone could decrease TDR, but lidocaine could increase TDR at initial ischemia, and no significant difference was found at other ischemia time points. 5 cases had ventriclar arrhythmia in ischemia group (62.5 %), but no case in lidocaine group (P<0.01) and only 1 case in amiodarone group had ventrilar arrhythmia (P< 0.01). No significant difference was found between amiodarone group and lidocaine group. It is concluded that TDR of of three myocardial layers increases significantly at ischemia and it is closely associated with development of ventricular arrhythmia, and amiodarone could decrease TDR, but lidocaine could increase TDR at initial ischemia and has no effects at other ischemia time points.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors for compliance to colonoscopy screening for colorectal cancer in outpatients.Methods:Patients aged 40-74 years who visited the outpatient gastroenterology department of 7 tertiary hospitals in 7 regions of Xinjiang from January 2022 to June 2022 were enrolled. Recommendations for colonoscopy screening were made according to the patient's medical conditions, and the questionnaire was used to collect information. The Chi-square test was used to compare the differences of compliant and non-compliant patients. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of compliance to colonoscopy screening.Results:A total of 463 valid questionnaires were obtained from 7 centers, in which, 427 outpatients (92.2%) followed the recommendation for colonoscopy screening, and 36 (7.8%) did not. Chi-square test results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, age, education, subjective cognition of intestinal polyps, personal history of colorectal polyps, family history of colorectal cancer, family history of colorectal polyps, abdominal pain or distension, and defecation habit or stool changes ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate regression analysis showed that the screening compliance of patients aged 40-49 years ( P=0.005, OR=0.141, 95% CI: 0.036-0.549) and 50-59 years ( P=0.039, OR=0.257, 95% CI: 0.071-0.932) was lower than that of patients aged 60-74 years. The screening compliance of patients with high school education ( P=0.011, OR=3.121, 95% CI: 1.304-7.473) and college education or above ( P=0.016, OR=3.544, 95% CI: 1.270-9.890) was higher than those with primary school education and below. Patients with personal history of colorectal polyps ( P=0.015, OR=12.288, 95% CI: 1.629-92.719), family history of colorectal cancer ( P=0.038, OR=8.506, 95% CI: 1.124-64.351) and changes in defecation habit or stool trait ( P=0.039, OR=4.794, 95% CI: 1.085-21.192) also had higher compliance. Conclusion:Age, educational level, personal history of colorectal polyps, and family history of colorectal cancer are related to colonoscopy screening compliance in outpatients of 7 tertiary hospitals in 7 regions of Xinjiang. The independent risk factors affecting compliance to colorectal cancer screening in outpatients are age of 40-59 years, lower educational level, no previous history of polyps or family history of colorectal cancer, and no defecation habit or stool changes.

Objective:To investigated the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with colorectal polyps in part of Xinjiang area and to explore the associated influencing factors related to psychological status, and to provide evidence and clues to promote the diagnosis and treatment of psychosomatic diseases in digestive system.Methods:From December 2021 to June 2022, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University, the Fourth Division Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Third Division Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (Kashgar Hospital), the Thirteenth Division Red Star Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Tenth Division Beitun Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Seventh Division Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Fifth Division Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, patients who underwent colonoscopy and colorectal polyps detected were enrolled. The generalized anxiety disorder scale-7 (GAD-7) was used to screen anxiety symptoms, and the patient health questionaire-8 (PHQ-8) was performed to screen depression symptoms, and the general situation questionnaire was used to collect clinical information of patients. The questionnairs were completed via the Questionnaire Star platform or paper questionnaire, and a database was established. The patients were divided into groups according to whether with anxiety and depression symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression models was performed to analyze the factors related to anxiety and depression.Results:A total of 516 questionnaires were distributed and collected, among which 9 questionnaires were incomplete and 507 questionnaires were valid, the effective rate of questionnaires was 98.26%. The detection rates of anxiety and depression symptoms in 507 patients with colorectal polyps were 21.50%(109/507) and 19.33%(98/507), respectively. The results of multivariable logistic analysis revealed that female ( OR=3.87, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.30 to 6.51, P<0.001), maximum diameter of polyp ( OR=1.74, 95% CI 1.14 to 2.67, P=0.011), perception of polyps as cancer ( OR=13.96, 95% CI 1.48 to 132.07, P=0.022), and the occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms after polyp detection ( OR=5.43, 95% CI 1.74 to 16.92, P=0.004) were independent risk factors of anxiety in patients with colorectal polyps. Female ( OR=2.42, 95% CI 1.47 to 4.00, P=0.001), the number of polyps ( OR=1.07, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.13, P=0.028) and the count of gastrointestinal symptoms ( OR=2.04, 95% CI 1.34 to 3.10, P=0.001) were independent risk factors of depression in patients with colorectal polyps. Conclusion:Gender, polyp size, number of polyps, disease perception, and concomitant gastrointestinal symptoms are associated with anxiety and depression in patients with colorectal polyps.
