Objective To investigate the relationship between bed rest time and development of prethrombotic state in the elderly patients with hip fracture.Methods One hundred and sixty-six patients who stayed in bed after hip fracture,aged ≥65 yr,were divided into 5 groups according to the bed rest time on admission to hospital:bed rest time ＜ 24 h (Ⅰ group,n =61),bed rest time 24-48 h (Ⅱ group,n =29),bed rest time 3-6days (Ⅲ group,n =29),bed rest time 7-14 days (Ⅳ group,n =34),and bed rest time ＞ 14 days (Ⅴ group,n =13).Venous blood samples were collected to measure the platelet count,coagulation function,and concentrations of plasma D-Dimer and serum α-granule membrane protein 140 (GMP-140).The development of abnormality in each index was recorded.The development of deep vein thrombosis in both lower extremities was diagnosed using color Doppler ultrasound in D-Dimer-positive patients.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,the abnormal rate of fibrinogen (Fib) and D-Dimer and serum GMP-140 concentrations were significantly increased in Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups,the abnormal rate of platelet count,Fib and D-Dimer and serum GMP-140 concentrations were increased in lⅣ group,and the abnormal rate of platelet count was increased,and no significant change was found in the serum GMP-140 concentrations and abnormal rate of Fib and D-Dimer in Ⅴ group.Compared with group Ⅱ,the serum GMP-140 concentrations were significantly increased in Ⅲ and Ⅳ groups,the abnormal rate of Fib and D-Dimer was increased in Ⅳ group,and no significant change was found in the abnormal rate of Fib and DDimer in Ⅲ group.The abnormal rate of platelet count was significantly lower in Ⅳ group than in Ⅲ group.Color Doppler Ultrasonography showed no sign of deep vein thrombosis.Conclusion For the elderly patients with hip fracture,the possibility of pre-thrombotic state developed is increased when the bed rest time is more than 24 h,and the patients were classified as high-risk patients when the bed rest time is more than 3 days.

The mechanism of biological actions of quercetin was studied by using metabolomic method and biomolecular network. HPLC-MS was used to analyze the serum metabolome in rats of blank group and quercetin administration group rats, and MS data were processed by MATLAB software. With multivariate statistical analysis of serum metabolite profiles, a clear separation among blank group and quercetin administration group was achieved, potential biomarkers were selected according to the parameters of variable importance in the projection (VIP) and identified according to MS information and database retrieval. Four compounds, related enzymes, action targets and metabolic pathways had been confirmed, namely retinoic acid and RARbeta, arachidonate and COX-2, 3, 5-diodotyrosine and TPO, uridine diphosphate glucose and PDEs. The mechanism of quercetin enhancing ability of retinoic acid on the induction of RARbeta, activating TPO, using as COX-2 and PDEs inhibitor was approved by biomolecular network and related literatures. In this study, a mechanism of multiple biological actions of quercetin was evaluated at the level of the biomolecular network, metabolomics and biomolecular network can be used to investigate the biological effects mechanism of quercetin, which provided a new method to further revealing mechanism of drug action.

Effectively assessing oxygen delivery and demand is one of the key targets for fluid resuscitation in sepsis. Clinical signs and symptoms, blood lactic acid levels, and mixed venous oxygen saturation (S O 2) or central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2) all have their limitations. In recent years, these limitations have been overcome through the use of derived indicators from carbon dioxide (CO 2) such as mixed veno-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (P -aCO 2, PCO 2 gap, or ΔPCO 2), the ratio of mixed veno-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference to arterial-mixed venous oxygen content difference (P -aCO 2/Ca- O 2). P -aCO 2, PCO 2 gap or ΔPCO 2 is not a purely anaerobic metabolism indicator as it is influenced by oxygen consumption. However, it reliably indicates whether blood flow is sufficient to carry CO 2 from peripheral tissues to the lungs for clearance, thus reflecting the adequacy of cardiac output and metabolism. The P -aCO 2/Ca- O 2 may serve as a marker of hypoxia. S O 2 and ScvO 2 represent venous oxygen saturation, reflecting tissue oxygen utilization. When oxygen delivery decreases but tissues still require more oxygen, oxygen extraction rate usually increases to meet tissue demands, resulting in decreased S O 2 and ScvO 2. But in some cases, even if the oxygen delivery rate and tissue utilization rate of oxygen are reduced, it may still lead to a decrease in S O 2 and ScvO 2. Sepsis is a classic example where tissue oxygen utilization decreases due to factors such as microcirculatory dysfunction, even when oxygen delivery is sufficient, leading to decrease in S O 2 and ScvO 2. Additionally, the solubility of CO 2 in plasma is approximately 20 times that of oxygen. Therefore, during sepsis or septic shock, derived variables of CO 2 may serve as sensitive markers for monitoring tissue perfusion and microcirculatory hemodynamics. Its main advantage over blood lactic acid is its ability to rapidly change and provide real-time monitoring of tissue hypoxia. This review aims to demonstrate the principles of CO 2-derived variables in sepsis, assess the available techniques for evaluating CO 2-derived variables during the sepsis process, and discuss their clinical relevance.

Objective:To document any correlation between eye-tracking test results and cognitive impairment after a stroke.Methods:Forty stroke survivors made up the stroke group, while 20 healthy subjects without a history of stroke formed the normal group. Everyone was given an eye-tracking test, the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The eye-tracking test results were then tested for any correlation with age, level of education, and the MMSE and MoCA scores.Results:In the static image test and the prosaccade test, the total number of fixations was significantly higher in the stroke group than in the normal group. In the dynamic path test, the ocular motor test and the anti-saccade test, significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the duration of total fixation, the fixation duration ratio, and the total number of fixations. In the static image test, the total number of fixations was weakly negatively correlated with the MMSE scores. Total fixation duration and fixation duration ratio were weakly positively correlated with the MoCA scores, while total number of fixations, total saccade distance and average saccade velocity were weakly negatively correlated with the MoCA scores. In the dynamic path test, total fixation duration was weakly positively correlated with the MMSE and MoCA scores. Fixation duration ratio was weakly positively correlated with the MMSE scores and weakly negatively correlated with the MoCA scores. First fixation duration was weakly positively correlated with the MoCA scores. The total number of fixations was weakly positively correlated with age and weakly negatively correlated with the MoCA scores. Total saccade distance was weakly negatively correlated with age and the MoCA scores, and average saccade velocity was weakly negatively correlated with the MMSE and MoCA scores. In the ocular motor test, total fixation duration and fixation duration ratio were weakly positively correlated with the MoCA scores. Total number of fixations, total saccade distance, and average saccade velocity were weakly negatively correlated with the MoCA scores. In the prosaccade test, total fixation duration and fixation duration ratio were weakly positively correlated with the MoCA scores. Total number of fixations was weakly positively correlated with age and weakly negatively correlated with the MoCA scores. Total saccade distance and average saccade velocity were weakly negatively correlated with both the MMSE and MoCA scores. In the anti-saccade test, total fixation duration was weakly and positively correlated with age and the MoCA scores. Fixation duration ratio was weakly and positively correlated with age and the MoCA scores. The total number of fixations was weakly positively correlated with age and weakly negatively correlated with the MoCA scores, and total saccade distance and average saccade velocity were weakly negatively correlated with the MoCA scores.Conclusions:Eye-tracking test results are significantly correlated with post-stroke cognitive impairment, suggesting that such tests can be used in the assessment of post-stroke cognitive dysfunction.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).Methods:In this multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial, 92 preterm infants with gestation age ≤30 weeks and diagnosed with NRDS were enrolled in 8 level Ⅲ neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region from 1 st July 2017 to 31 st December 2018. They were randomly assigned to minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) group or endotracheal intubation surfactant administration (EISA) group according to random number generated by computer. Infants in both groups received calf pulmonary surfactant preparation at a dose of 70-100 mg/kg. The data of demography, perinatal situation, medication administration, complications, clinical outcomes in the two groups were compared with Chi-square test, Student′s t-test, Mann-Whitney U test or Fisher′s exact test. Results:Among the 92 preterm infants, 53 were males, 39 were females; 47 were in the MISA group (25 males), and 45 were in the EISA group (28 males). The gestational age and birth weight were (29.5±1.2) weeks and (1 271±242) g in all patients, (29.5±1.4) weeks and (1 285±256) g in the MISA group, and (29.6±0.9) weeks and (1 255±227) g in the EISA group. The duration of surfactant infusion and the length of whole procedure in the MISA group were significantly longer than that in the EISA group (60 (18, 270) s vs. 50 (30, 60) s, Z=3.009, P=0.003; 90 (60, 300) s vs. 60 (44, 270) s, Z=3.365, P=0.001). For the outcomes, the incidence of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) were lower in the MISA group than in the EISA group (36% (17/47) vs. 67% (30/45), χ 2=8.556, P=0.003; 26% (12/47) vs. 47% (21/45), χ 2=4.464, P=0.035). Conclusions:Minimally invasive surfactant administration is applicable in preterm infants ≤30 weeks gestational age with NRDS. Although the length of whole procedure is longer than route endotracheal administration, the benefit of decreasing the incidences of hsPDA and BPD outweighs this demerit.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of whole-brain low-dose radiotherapy(LDRT)combined with PD-1 inhibitor sin-tilimab and intrathecal pemetrexed(IP)for the treatment of refractory non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)with leptomeningeal metastases(LM).Methods:Retrospective analysies were was performed on eight NSCLC patients with LM at the West China Hospital of Sichuan Uni-versity from December 2022 to May 2024.Among the eight patients,there were four were males and four were females,with a median age of 49 years(rangeing,between 34 to 58 years).All patients were treated with whole-brain LDRT combined with immune checkpoint inhibit-or(ICI)and intrathecal chemotherapy regimens,and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology(RANO)criteria and the Karnofsky physical status(KPS)score.Adverse reactions were assessed according to the Common Criteria for the Evaluation of Adverse Events(CTCAE version 5.0).Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.The classification proportion of cerebrospinal fluid subsets before and after treatment was analyzed using by single-cell sequencing,and the differential ana-lysis of gene expression in parallel cells was performed.Results:The best clinical treatment effects in eight patients were were evaluated us-ing the RANO criteria:five patients(62.5%)were evaluated as improved and three(37.5%)as stable.The median KPS score of the eight pa-tients was 30(20-50)before treatment,which was significantly improved to 60(40-90)after treatment(P=0.000 9).The remission rate of neurological symptoms was 100%(8/8)in eight patients.The median neurological progression-free survival(NPFS)was 12 months.The res-ults of single-cell sequencing in CSF of patientss(P1)showed that the proportion of T cells in the patient samples after whole-brain LDRT treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment(6.08%vs.68.87%),and the proportion of tumor cells was significantly lower(12.92%vs.0.6%).The differential analysis of gene expression showed that CCL5 and CXCL13 were significantly upregulated in T cells of CSF after WB-LDRT treatment.Conclusions:The combination of whole-brain LDRT with ICI and IP in the treatment of NSCLC with LM can signific-antly alleviate neurological symptoms,improve quality of life and prolong the NPFS of patients,which is a safe and effective treatment.
