0.05). In both RLC and CLC Group, postoperative levels of CRP, IL-1, IL-6, and TNF were significantly elevated as compared with preoperative levels (P

Objective To compare the postoperative changes in immune function of patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy(RLC) and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy(CLC).Methods The clinical data of 52 cases of gallbladder stones and gallbladder polyps treated with RLC(23 cases),and with LC(29 cases) was compared.Blood samples from both groups were taken to measure immune markers(T cells,IgA,IgM,IgG,C3,C4) before operation and in the first postoperative morning.Results The postoperative levels of CD4/CD8 and IgM decreased from 1.56?0.67,1.42 ?0.58 to 1.30?0.53,1.26?0.46 respectively after RLC(all P0.05).Conclusions RLC and CLC showed no significant postoperative effect on cellular immune function,but both had some effect on humoral immune function.

Objective To observe the effect of intermedin(IMD) on microvascular injury of renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) rat model.Methods Seventy-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups:the sham-operation group (n=24) underwent the left ureteral dissection,the other 48 rats were made as unilateral ureteral obstruction models and subdivided into model group(UUO,n=24) and IMD group (n=24).At the 7,14,21,28 day after the operation,6 randomly-selected rats from each of the three groups respectively were blooded by abdominal arotic and their obstructive kidneys were taken out.The renal histopathological changes were observed through HE and Masson staining,the contents of BUN,Scr and cystatin C (CysC) of the obstructive kidneys were determined,the expressions of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1),α-SMA,bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7),E-cadherin,thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the sham-operated group,the pathological changes of kidney in the model group showed that the degree of fibrosis was obvious,tubular interstitial damage aggravated,the levels of BUN,Scr,CysC in the model group increased (P ＜ 0.05),the mRNA expression and protein content of TGF-β1,oα-SMA,TSP-1 increased (P ＜ 0.05),while the levels of BMP-7,E-cadherin and VEGF decreased (P ＜0.05).Compared with the UUO group,renal tubular damage,interstitial fibrosis in the IMD group were lighter,the levels of BUN,Scr,CysC in the IMD group were lower (P ＜ 0.05),the mRNA expression and protein content of TGF-β1,α-SMA,TSP-1 were down-regulated (P ＜ 0.05),while the levels of BMP-7,E-cadherin and VEGF were up-regulated (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion IMD can ameliorate the renal interstitial fibrosis,and the mechanism may be related to the fact that VEGF mediated by IMD can reduce vascular injury.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status and high-risk factors of chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes （PBL） of radiation workers in Hainan Province. MethodsA total of 200 radiological workers who underwent occupational health examination in Hainan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to December 2021 were selected to collect the occupational health examination data and the rate of PBL chromosomal aberrations. The influencing factors of PBL chromosomal aberrations were analyzed by logistic regression model. The predictive value of logistic regression prediction model on PBL chromosomal aberrations were determined by using the reciver operator characteristic （ROC） curve. ResultsA total of 20 000 cells （100 cells/person） were tested. The chromosomal aberration rate was 0.37% （74/20 000） and the PBL chromosomal aberration rate in the subjects was 6.00% （12/200）. Univariate analysis showed that PBL chromosomal aberrations in radiological workers were related to age， length of service， type of work and education （all P<0.05）， but not to gender （P>0.05）. The logistic regression prediction model was constructed based on the influencing factors， with χ²=9.413， df=9， P=0.852， suggesting a good model fit. The logistic regression prediction model predicted the area under the curve （AUC） for the occurrence of PBL chromosomal aberrations in radiation workers was 0.914 （95%CI： 0.866‒0.949）， with a cut-off value of 3.05， corresponding to a prediction sensitivity and specificity of 100.00% and 75.98%， respectively. ConclusionThe incidence of PBL chromosomal aberrations in radiological workers in Hainan Province was 6.00%， with age， working age and job type as high-risk factors and education level as a protective factor. The prediction model constructed by the above factors can provide a reliable basis for clinical prediction of PBL chromosomal aberrations in radiological workers.

Objective To compare the analgesic effect, duration and incidence of adverse reactions of liposome bupivacaine (LB) and bupivacaine hydrochloride after intercostal nerve block in single-port thoracoscopic lung surgery. Methods In Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University between September 2023 and March 2024, 228 patients who needed to undergo thoracoscopic lung surgery were selected and divided into two groups by random number table method: a group B with bupivacaine hydrochloride (n=118), and a group LB with LB (n=110). Intraoperative intercostal nerve block was performed under endoscopy, and the time of first use of analgesic drugs after surgery, cumulative use of opioids 72 h after surgery, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, length of stay and other indicators were evaluated and recorded. Results Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h in the LB group were significantly lower than those in the group B (P<0.05). The total number of activities within 48 h after surgery in the group B was significantly lower than that in the LB group (P<0.05), and the postoperative hospitalization stay in the LB group was shorter than that in the group B, but the difference was not statistically significant. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in postoperative adverse reactions. Conclusion Intercostal nerve block with LB during single-port thoracoscopic lung surgery can significantly reduce postoperative pain, improve quality of life, and promote recovery of the patients. It is worthy of clinical application.

Microglial surveillance plays an essential role in clearing misfolded proteins such as amyloid-beta, tau, and α-synuclein aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases. However, due to the complex structure and ambiguous pathogenic species of the misfolded proteins, a universal approach to remove the misfolded proteins remains unavailable. Here, we found that a polyphenol, α-mangostin, reprogrammed metabolism in the disease-associated microglia through shifting glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation, which holistically rejuvenated microglial surveillance capacity to enhance microglial phagocytosis and autophagy-mediated degradation of multiple misfolded proteins. Nanoformulation of α-mangostin efficiently delivered α-mangostin to microglia, relieved the reactive status and rejuvenated the misfolded-proteins clearance capacity of microglia, which thus impressively relieved the neuropathological changes in both Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease model mice. These findings provide direct evidences for the concept of rejuvenating microglial surveillance of multiple misfolded proteins through metabolic reprogramming, and demonstrate nanoformulated α-mangostin as a potential and universal therapy against neurodegenerative diseases.
