Objective To observe the injury of some chief organ induced by paraquat (PQ) poisoning in rats, and to explore the mechanism. Method A total of 60 inbred line SD rats were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30), and each group was further divided into 6 subgroups (n =5) as per the sacrifice of rats at different intervals. The rats of experimental group received the intra-abdominal injection of paraquat (1 mg/mL, 18 mg/kg), and the rats of control group were treated with the same amount of saline solution instead. The rats of each subgroup were sacrificed separately 2 h,6 h, 12 h,24 h,72 h and 120 h after administration of PQ or saline. Lungs, livers and kidneys were taken for histopathological study. Results There was noticeable exudate in lung tissue of rats in experimental group in the early stage. And then the cystic changes in the liver of rats in experimental group were found. A noticeable hemoglobin was found in the renal tubules 24 h after modeling. But the exudation in lung decreased 24 h later, and in the mean time, the disorganization of pulmonary alveoli was obvious and some remarkable collagen appeared in the interstitial tissue of lung, and it was significantly obvious 72 h after modeling. In the liver of rats in experimental group, the injured tissue had some extent of repair in 72 h after modeling, and recovered gradually. But the injury of kidney was exacerbated 72 h after modeling. In the control group, the lung, liver and kidney were not changed in all stages after modeling.Conclusions The paraquat could induce failure of some chief organs in SD rats. The injury was most remarkable in the lung in a progressive way. The kidney injury was not more severe than that of lung tissue, but the pathological changes of the kidney became worse and worse as time taken. The injury of liver induced by paraquat was slight, and the injury could heal up gradually.

Objective To study the impact of earthquake disasters on the mental health of military medical personnel during emergency rescue. Methods Three hundred military medical personnel who participated in the emergency rescue of earthquake disasters in five military hospitals in Shaanxi Province were selected as the study subjects, and their mental health levels were analyzed using the Mental Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90). Results In this survey, a total of 300 SCL-90 questionnaires were issued, 300 were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 100%. Only 30.67%(92/300) of people participated in emergency disaster rescue during investigation, 31.33% (94/300) had psychological problemsafter arriving in the earthquake-stricken area after one week, such as somatization, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and horror. SCL-90 scores were 0.45±0.03, 1.13±0.13, 0.79 ±0.08, 1.07±0.09, 1.01±0.14. The psychological stress response rates of the emergency response of military medical staff of different characteristics were different. Among them, the stress response rates of military personnel with different degrees (specialty, bachelor or above) and whether they have participated in rescue work were 74.07% (40/54), 21.95% (54/246), 15.22% (14/92), 38.46% (80/208).The difference was statistically significant (χ2=55.913,16.018, P<0.01). Conclusions The medical staff of the army participating in the earthquake disaster rescue has psychological pressure due to many injuries, environmental risks, lack of supplies, etc. The medical unit should provide adequate training in theory and practice to its personnel and focus on the mental health of rescue workers, give timely psychological counseling to ensure the successful completion of the rescue.

Objective:To investigate the role of heparin-binding protein (HBP) as a predictor of early bacterial infections in patients with traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods:Patients with traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Emergency Department of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from September 2021 to June 2022 were collected prospectively. Patients with bacterial infection diagnosed by pathogenic examination were classified as the infected group, and those with negative pathogenic examination were classified as the non-infected group. Peripheral blood HBP counts were measured within 48 h of admission, and general information and relevant laboratory tests were collected. The differences of the indicators between the two groups were compared, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, the predictive value of the indicators for patients with co-infection was assessed, and the valuable predictors were screened out using multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:Eighty-five patients [44 males and 41 females, aged (55.09±1.18) years] , were included in the study. Among the patients included in the study, 39 patients had bacterial infection and 46 were non-infected. Patients in the infected group were older , and had more surgeries, higher respiratory rate and injury severity score, and higher levels of HBP [(33.00±3.49) ng/mL vs. (16.27±1.61) ng/mL, P<0.001], leukocytes, and neutrophils [(15.32±3.19) ×10 9/L vs. (6.69±0.57) ×10 9/L, P=0.005] than in the non-infected group, while the Glasgow Coma Scale [(8.72±0.63) vs. (11.37±0.48), P=0.001] was lower than that in the non-infected group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). There was no significant differences in lymphocytes, red blood cells, platelets, calcium, procalcitonin and coagulation indexes between the two groups (all P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that neutrophils ( OR=1.252, 95% CI: 1.075-1.457, P=0.004) and HBP ( OR=1.081, 95% CI: 1.025-1.141, P=0.004) were independent risk factors for infection in patients with traumatic cerebral hemorrhage. The area under ROC curve for HBP of diagnosing early co-infection in patients with traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71-0.88), the sensitivity was 92.31%, and the specificity was 52.17%. Conclusions:HBP is a valuable predictor of early traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage complicated with bacterial infection in the emergency department, and has a good supplementary value to the existing test indicators.

Objective:To study clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes under anti-coagulation therapy of non-criteria obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome.Methods:Patients suspected of obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome(OAPS) were recruited through Chinese Rheumatism Data Center from 2015 to 2019 consecutively. Patients fulfilling 2006 Sydney revised antiphospholipid syndrome criteria were classified as OAPS. Patients fulfilling definition of non-criteria OAPS(NCOAPS) by expert consensus on diagnosis and management of obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome of China were classified as NCOAPS. Clinical characteristics and laboratory results of two groups were compared. Live birth rates and pregnancy outcomes under anti-coagulation therapy were studied.Results:A total of 88 patients were enrolled, including 56 patients (63.6%) as OAPS, 32(36.4%) as NCOAPS. Live births were only reached in 16.1% (9/56) in OAPS patients and 12.5%(4/32) in NCOAPS. Fetal losses after 10 weeks of gestation and pre-eclampsia before 34 weeks were more common in OAPS group compared to NCOAPS group [78.6%(44/56) vs. 18.8%(6/32), P<0.001; 25.0%(14/56) vs. 3.1%(1/32), P=0.020, respectively]. After enrollment, 15 pregnancies were recorded in OAPS, 10 in NCOAPS, all of whom were treated with low-dose aspirin (LDA) combined with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Live birth rates saw dramatic improvements compared to baseline levels in OAPS [16.1% (9/56) vs. 11/15] along with NCOAPS [12.5% (4/32) vs. 7/10]. Conclusion:Though NCOAPS and OAPS patients differ in antiphospholipid antibody spectrum and pattern of pregnancy morbidities, both groups benefit from LDA combined with LWMH treatment, as live birth rates improve. Non-criteria OAPS patients are recommended to receive anti-coagulation therapy during pregnancy.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with unclear etiology and limited treatment options. The median survival time for IPF patients is approximately 2-3 years and there is no effective intervention to treat IPF other than lung transplantation. As important components of lung tissue, endothelial cells (ECs) are associated with pulmonary diseases. However, the role of endothelial dysfunction in pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is incompletely understood. Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor highly expressed in lung ECs. Its expression is markedly reduced in patients with IPF. Herein, we generated an endothelial-conditional S1pr1 knockout mouse model which exhibited inflammation and fibrosis with or without bleomycin (BLM) challenge. Selective activation of S1PR1 with an S1PR1 agonist, IMMH002, exerted a potent therapeutic effect in mice with bleomycin-induced fibrosis by protecting the integrity of the endothelial barrier. These results suggest that S1PR1 might be a promising drug target for IPF therapy.
