Objective:To investigate the influence of perioperative oral nutritional supple-mentation on short-term efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for obesity patients.Methods:The prospective study was conducted. The clinical data of 218 obesity patients who underwent LSG in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021 were selected. Patients receiving perioperative oral nutritional supplementation were allocated into the experiment group, and patients receiving perioperative conventional treatment were allo-cated into the control group, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) grouping situations of the enrolled patients; (2) postoperative situations and follow-up; (3) nutrition related indicators; (4) dietary compliance; (5) weight loss related indicators. Follow-up was conducted using telephone interview, WeChat communication and outpatient examination to detect albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (HB), dietary compliance and weight loss related indicators of patients up to February 2022. Patients were followed up once every 30 days after discharge. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the indepen-dent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was performed using the chi-square test. Repeated measurement data were analyzed using the repeated ANOVA. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the rank sum test. Results:(1) Grouping situations of the enrolled patients. A total of 218 patients were selected for eligibility. There were 42 males and 176 females, aged (32±9)years with body mass index (BMI) as (39±7)kg/m 2. Of the 218 patients, there were 109 patients in the experiment group and 109 patients in the control group. Gender(male, female), age, BMI, preoperative albumin (Alb), preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) were 17, 92, (33±9)years, (39±7)kg/m 2, (40.6±4.8)g/L, (141.7±13.9)g/L in the experiment group, versus 25, 84, (31±8)years, (39±8)kg/m 2, (40.9±4.2)g/L, (142.9±9.7)g/L in the control group, showing no signifi-cant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=1.89, t=?1.52, 0.51, 0.40, 0.71, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations and follow-up.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of suramin(Sur)in acetaminophen(APAP)-induced acute liver injury in mice.Methods 8-10 weeks old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the APAP group and APAP+Sur group(20 mg/kg suramin was injected 1 h before).After 18 hrs of fasting,400 mg/kg APAP was injected intraperitoneally to establish a mouse model of acute liver failure and the survival rate was recorded.An acute liver injury model of mice was established via intraperitoneal injection of 300 mg/kg APAP(other conditions remained unchanged).A control group was also established,with liver tissues and serum collected at 0,2,and 12 hours post-APAP treatment.ELISA and CBA techniques were adopted to detect the release of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)in serum and the secretion of inflammatory factors.H&E staining and immunohistochemistry were used to detect liver tissue necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration.DCFA-DH and ELISA techniques were used to detect the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA)and glutathione(GSH)in liver tissues.Western blotting was employed to assess the activation of the JNK signaling pathway in liver tissues.Results Suramin treatment improved the survival rate of APAP-induced mice,reduced the release of transaminases and inflammatory factors in serum,and alleviated APAP-induced liver cell necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration in the liver.Suramin treatment delayed APAP-induced GSH depletion in the liver,reduced MDA and ROS levels,and inhibited JNK pathway activation.Conclusion This study has confirmed the protective effect of suramin against acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury in mice.The mechanism is potentially related to oxidative stress and inflammation.

Objective To establish a mouse model of liver aging induced by irradiation combined with hepatectomy.Methods A model was established via single irradiation combined with hepatectomy.The survival rate,body weight,liver index and liver function of the mice were detected.The expressions of senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors in serum were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and flow cytometry.The mRNA levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors and telomerase in liver tissue were detected by real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR).The expressions of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A(CDKN1A)and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A(CDKN2A)were determined by Western blotting.ELISA was used to calculate senescence-associated β-galactosidase(SA-β-Gal)and lipofuscin levels.Tissue malondialdehyde levels were measured using the thiobarbituric acid(TBA)method.The size of hepatocyte nuclei and lipid accumulation were detected by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)stainingand oil-red-O while triglyceride levels in the liver were studied with the weighing method.Results After irradiation combined with hepatectomy,the body weight of mice was significantly reduced,the liver index was not significantly affected,but the transaminase level was significantly increased.The levels of SA-β-Gal and lipofuscin increased while telomerase activity decreased significantly,and the nucleus size increased.The expressions of cyclin dependent protein kinase inhibitors CDKN1A and CDKN2A increased.The levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors were significantly increased.Hepatic lipid deposition and oxidative damage were aggravated.Conclusion A mouse model of liver aging induced by irradiation combined with hepatectomy has been established.
