1.Absorbable Hemostatic Material with High Water Absorption Based on Polysaccharide.
Chinese Journal of Medical Instrumentation 2022;46(1):28-33
An absorbable hemostatic material based on polysaccharide was prepared. The concentration of blood cells and coagulation factors was increased by reducing the water content in the blood, so as to reduce the coagulation time and achieve the purpose of rapid hemostasis. The specific surface area of starch was increased by using hydrochloric acid to hydrolyze potato starch, which made it easier to combine with α-amylase and increased the degradation rate. Starch was crosslinked into microspheres by crosslinking agent, which made the particle size uniform and greatly improved the water absorption. The surface modification of crosslinked starch microspheres with carboxymethyl group can further improve the water absorption of hemostatic materials. The results showed that the water absorption rate of our hemostatic material was more than 800%, and the average hemostatic time in the animal model was 138.7s. Compared with the imported products on the market, our hemostatic material have better hemostatic performance.

This study was aimed to search for effective cryoprotectants and freezing methods used in cord blood bank (CBB) for cryopreservation of cord blood hematopoietic stem cells. The non-programmed group using 8% final concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 5% final concentration hydroxyethyl starch (HES) (molecular weight 120,000) as protectants and group of conventional of programmed controller method using 10% DMSO only as cryoprotectant in cryopreservation of cord blood hematopoietic stem cells were compared. In each of the two groups, 15 cord blood units were used. In non-programmed group, cord blood units put in -80 degrees C refrigerator for 24 hours as a transitional step before deep-freezing in liquid nitrogen, when both of DMSO and HES had been added. The recoveries of the nuclear cells number, the yield of granulocyto-macrophage colony forming units (CFU-GM) and the cells viability in cord blood units before preservation and after thawing were tested for both methods. The results showed that no significant difference was found in above assays between two groups. The clinical application results also showed that hematopoietic engraftment rates after infusion were similar in both groups. It is concluded that the non-programmed method by -80 degrees C refrigerator as a transitional step and using the combined two protectants seems simple in operation and effective in clinical transplantation as well as the conventional programmed method.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of resuscitation with different kinds of colloids on oxygen metabolism of swine during shock stage of burn injury.
METHODSEighteen Guangxi Bama miniature swine were inflicted with 40% TBSA full-thickness burn on the back. And then they were divided into succinylated gelatin group (S) , hydroxyethyl starch group (H), and allogeneic plasma group (A) according to the random number table, with 6 swine in each group. The fluid resuscitation was begun at post injury hour (PIH) 2. The colloids used in groups S, H, and A were respectively succinylated gelatin, 60 g/L hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4, and allogeneic plasma. The blood pressure, urine volume, heart rate, and central venous pressure (CVP) were recorded before injury and at the first and second PIH 24. The volume of resuscitation fluid was recorded at the first and second PIH 24. The changes in oxygen delivery., oxygen consumption, oxygen extraction ratio and D-lactate were determined and calculated before injury and at PIH 4, 8, 24, and 48. Data were processed with analysis of variance of repeated measurement, one-way analysis of variance and LSD test.
RESULTSThere were no statistically significant differences among the three groups in blood pressure, urine volume, heart rate, and CVP at each time point (with P values above 0. 05). There were no statistically significant differences in resuscitation fluid volume among the three groups at the first and second PIH 24 (with F values respectively 0. 239 and 2. 023, P values respectively 0. 790 and 0. 167). The oxygen consumption of swine in group S was (201 ± 38) L · min(-1) · m(-2) at PIH 48, which was significantly higher than that in group A [(150 ± 37) L · min(-1) · m(-2), P < 0.05], and the oxygen consumption was similar among the three groups at the rest time points (with P values above 0.05). The oxygen delivery of swine in group S was (484 ± 63) L · min(-1) · m(-2) at PIH 8, and it was significantly lower than that in group A [(652 ± 65) L(-1) min(-1) · m(-2), P < 0.01]. The oxygen delivery of swine in group S reached (903 ± 132) and (1,028 ± 98) L · min(-1) · m(-2) at PIH 24 and 48, respectively, and they were significantly higher than those in group A [(686 ± 72) and (720 ± 75) L · min(-1) · M(-2), with P values below 0.01]. Oxygen delivery in group H was similar to that of group A at each time point (with P values above 0.05). The oxygen extraction ratio in group S or group H was close to that of group A at each time point (with P values above 0.05). The D-lactate level in group S was (69 ± 9) mmol/L, and it was significantly higher than that in group A [(52 ± 4) mmol/L, P < 0.01] at PIH 48. The D-lactate level was similar among the three groups at the rest time points (with P values above 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSAccording to the changes in oxygen metabolism of swine during shock stage of burn injury resuscitated with different kinds of colloids, it is found that allogeneic plasma is better than artificial colloid, and 60 g/L hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 is superior to succinylated gelatin.

This study was aimed to develop a new generation of ideal hemostatic powder which can be safely, effectively and easily used mainly to first aid anterior to hospital by the synergistic effect of physical and chemical hemostatic mechanisms. The tranexamic acid(TA)-loaded porous starch(PS) (TAPS) was prepared by using PS as carrier and TA as loaded drug component. The absorption property of TAPS was evaluated by water absorption; the hemostatic ability of TAPS was evaluated by test in vitro and in vivo, the blood coagulation time of TAPS was detected by using Lee-white method. The experiment was divided into 3 groups: blank control group, Yunnan Baiyao group and TAPS group, each group with 10 blood samples in vitro test; the 27 SD rats were used to test in vivo, and randomly were divided into 3 groups: PS,Yunnan Baiyao and TAPS, each group consisted of 9 rats for establishing the animal model of liver trauma and detecting the complete hemostasis time. The results showed that the water absorption of PS did not be affected by TA when dose of TA loaded in PS was <0.02 g/g PS. There was no statistic difference in blood coagulation time between TAPS and PS groups(P > 0.05). The complete hemostatic time of TAPS for trauma of left lobe liver was 236.67 ± 55.00 seconds, which was shorter than that of Yunnan Baiyao (340.00 ± 73.48 seconds) and PS (396.67 ± 68.37 seconds) (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). It is concluded that PS can load TA and play the hemostatic effect through releasing TA; the TA loading <0.02 g/g PS did not affect the water absorption and pro-coagulation properties. The TA can enhance the hemostatic efficacy of PS, the hemostatic property of TAPS is derived from synergism of physical and chemical hemostatic mechanisms.

OBJECTIVETo observe the biochemical characters and antibiotic susceptibility of isolated Staphylococcus aureus (S. auerus) strains against some conventional and traditional antibiotics.
METHODSThirty post operative pathogenic isolated S. aureus strains were used in this study. Bacterial culture was done in Mueller-Hinton broth at 37 °C. Characters of these strains were determined by traditional biochemical tests such as hydrolysis test of gelatin, urea, galactose, starch and protein, and fermentation of lactose and sucrose. Antibiotic susceptibility were carried out by minimum inhibitory concentration test, minium bactericidal concentration test, disc agar diffusion test and brain heart infusion oxacillin screening agar.
RESULTSFrom this study, it was observed that 100% S. aureus isolates showed positive results in gelatin, urea and galactose hydrolysis test, 50% isolates were positive in starch hydrolysis test, 35% in protein hydrolysis test, 100% isolates in lactose fermenting test, but no isolate was positive in sucrose fermenting test. Antibiotic susceptibility testing suggested that 20% of isolates were resistant to kanamycin and 46.67% were resistant to oxacillin.
CONCLUSIONSThese findings show that all these isolates have gelatin, urea, galactose hydrolysis and lactose fermenting activity. 20% of these isolates were resistant to kanamycin and 46.67% were resistant to oxacillin.

A system coupling ethanol fermentation with microalgae culture was developed, in which CO2 produced during ethanol fermentation was used as carbon source for the growth of Tetraselmis subcordiformis, a microalgae accumulating starch intracellularly. The biomass concentration about 2.0 g DCW/L was achieved within the photobioreactor for the batch culture of 7 days, and intracellular starch accumulation was about 45%. Furthermore, ultrasonic pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis were applied to the microalgae biomass, and 71.1% of the intracellular starch was converted into glucose that was fermented sequentially to ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae with an ethanol yield of 87.6% of the theoretical value, indicating that the microalgae biomass could be an alternative feedstock for ethanol production to save grain consumption, and in the meantime mitigate the CO2 emission.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of two fluid resuscitations on the bacterial translocation and the inflammatory factors of small intestine in rats with hemorrhagic shock.
METHODSFifty SD healthy male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n equal to 10 per group): Group A (Sham group), Group B (Ringer's solution for 1 h), Group C (Ringer's solution for 24 h), Group D (hydroxyethyl starch for 1 h) and Group E ((hydroxyethyl starch for 24 h). A model of rats with hemorrhagic shock was established. The bacterial translocation in liver, content of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and changes of myeloperoxidase enzyme (MPO) activities in small intestine were pathologically investigated after these two fluid resuscitations, respectively.
RESULTSThe bacterial translocation and the expression of TNF-alpha in the small intestine were detected at 1 h and 24 h after fluid resuscitation. There were significant increase in the number of translocated bacteria, TNF-alpha and MPO activities in Group C compared with Group B, significant decrease in Group E compared with Group D and in Group B compared with Group D. The number of translocated bacteria and TNF-alpha expression significantly decreased in Group E as compared with Group C.
CONCLUSIONSThe bacterial translocation and the expression of TNF-alpha in the small intestine exist 24 h after fluid resuscitation. 6% hydroxyethyl starch can improve the intestinal mucosa barrier function better than the Ringer's solution.
