Objective:
To investigate the effects of remifentanil combined with propofol on hemodynamics, inflammatory stress response and immune function in patients with acute abdomen complicated with septic shock.
Methods:
From June 2017 to August 2018, 112 patients with acute abdomen complicated with septic shock who admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University were enrolled in the study.They were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the digital table, with 56 cases in each group.The control group was anesthetized with sevoflurane combined with propofol.The observation group was anesthetized with remifentanil combined with propofol.The hemodynamic parameters of the patients entering the operating room(T0), 0.5h(T1), 1h(T2) and awake(T3) after anesthesia were recorded.The intraoperative norepinephrine dosage was recorded.The inflammatory response, stress response and immune function indicators at T0, T2 and T3 were recorded.
Results:
Compared with T0, T1 and T2, the MAP of the two groups was higher at T3, and the differences were statistically significant(

Objective To explore the viral pathogen spectrum characteristics of acute intestinal infection in Hanzhong from 2019 to 2022. Methods Fecal samples from patients with acute intestinal infection in the outpatient clinic of 3201 Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. Common enteroviruses such as enterovirus 71 (EV-A71), coxsackievirus 16 (CV-A16), CV-A10, CV-A6, CV-A2, CV-A4, and CV-B3 were detected and analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results A total of 5 194 fecal samples were collected, and the positive rate of nucleic acid detection was 23.95%. In terms of the enteroviruses, the highest detection rate was 9.82% for EV-A71, followed by 4.58% for CV-A16 and 3.37% for CV-A6. The positive detection rate of common enteroviruses showed statistical difference among different age groups (P<0.05), with the highest detection rate of 41.49% in 0-4 years old group. There was no significant difference in the positive virus detection rate between different genders (P>0.05). EV-A71 infection showed no seasonal characteristics, whereas the detection of CV-A16 and CV-A6 infections was concentrated in summer and autumn. There were 106 cases of mixed infection, and the prevalence rate was 2.04%, with EV-A71 and CV-A6 mixed infections accounting for the majority of cases. Conclusion The main pathogens of acute intestinal infections in the Hanzhong area from 2019 to 2022 are EV-A71, CV-A16, and CV-A6. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of acute intestinal infections in children aged 4 years and below.

Bioluminescence is a widespread phenomenon in nature, and luminescent organisms can be found both on land and in the ocean. Among them, luciferase based bioluminescence systems have been widely studied, inspiring the exploration of genetic and epigenetic aspects and the development of a series of related assays for in vivo and in vitro studies. This paper summarizes the recent developments of luciferase based bioluminescence assays in terms of bioluminescence systems, types of luciferases, and the development and application of luciferase bioluminescence assays.

Objective :
To investigate the protective effect of melatonin (MT) on formaldehyde (FA) inhalation-in- duced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats and its mechanism through the regulation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway.
Methods :
Fifty female Wistar rats were randomly divided into Control group ,FA group,FA + MT 5 mg / kg group,FA + MT 10 mg / kg group and FA + MT 20 mg / kg group,with 10 rats in each group.Except for the Control group,all other groups inhaled 3 mg / m3 FA daily for 21 d consecutively to construct the tainted model,and then treated with different MT doses for 14 d.The tainting was continued during the MT treatment.Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in lung tissue,lung water content and lung coefficient were weighed and measured,glutathione ( GSH) ,superoxide dismutase (SOD) and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine ( 8-OHdG) levels were measured by absorbance photometric method ,and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) ,in- terleukin (IL) -6,and IL-1 β concentrations,Western blot to detect the protein expression levels of Nrf2,heme ox- ygenase-1 (HO-1) ,nuclear factor-κB ( NF-κB) ,and phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB ( p-NF-κB) in lung tis- sues,and quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) to detect the Nrf2,HO-1,and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) mRNA expression levels.
Results :
Compared with the control group,lung injury was obvious in rats in the FA group ; lung tissue GSH and SOD levels were reduced ,and 8-OHdG levels were elevated ( P < 0. 05) ; alveolar lavage fluid TNF-α , IL-6,and IL-1 β levels were elevated (P<0. 05) ; Nrf 2 and HO-1 protein expression levels were reduced in the lung tissue (P<0. 05) ,and p-NF-κB protein expression levels were was ele- vated (P<0. 05) ; the relative mRNA expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in lung tissue was decreased,and the relative mRNA expression of Keap1 was elevated (P<0. 05) .Compared with the FA group,the lung injury of rats in the MT group was improved ; the levels of GSH and SOD in the lung tissue were increased (P<0. 05) ,and the level of 8-OHdG was decreased (P<0. 05) ; the levels of TNF-α , IL-6,and IL-1 β in the alveolar lavage fluid were de- creased (P<0. 05) ; and the expression levels of the Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins in the lung tissue were increased (P <0. 05) .p-NF-κB protein expression level was decreased (P <0. 05) ; the relative mRNA expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 in lung tissues were increased (P<0. 05) ,and the relative mRNA expression level of Keap1 was decreased (P<0. 05) in lung tissues,and all of them were in a dose-dependent manner.
Conclusion
MT can al- leviate oxidative stress and inflammatory responses and mitigate FA exposure-induced acute lung injury by regula- ting the Nrf2 / Keap1 / HO-1 signaling pathway.
