Objective To analyze the law of the mid﹣term hepatic hemodynamics after liver transplantation and to investigate its relationship with liver function. Methods A total of 56 recipients underwent liver transplantation in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from February 2014 to October 2015 were studied,and divided into normal group (n =24)and abnormal group (n =32)according to the liver function.General information and liver function of both groups were recorded.Furthermore,hepatic artery peak velocity (HAP),portal vein peak velocity (PVP)and portal vein flow (PVF)before the liver transplantation and on postoperative day 1,30 and 90 were measured through ultrasonic detection;hepatic arterial buffer capacity (BC)and adjustment BC were calculated.The univariable and multivariable analysis were performed to analyze the relationship between hepatic hemodynamics and liver function in two groups,and the receiver operating curve (ROC)was drawn. Results The PVP and PVF on postoperative day 30 in abnormal group were significantly higher than those of normal group (P =0.014,0.049).The BC and adjustment BC in normal group were significantly higher than those of abnormal group (P =0.048,0.011).The multivariable analysis showed that adjustment BC was the independent risk factor (P =0.047),with the area under the curve (AUC)of ROC of 0.705,sensitivity of 0.652 and specificity of 0.750. Conclusions PVP,PVF,BC and adjustment BC on postoperative day 30 may be related to abnormal liver function,of which adjustment BC can be used as one of the indicators for diagnosis and intervention of abnormal liver function.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuro developmental disorders in childhood.The main symptoms of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, etc.ADHD causes lots of adverse effects on patients, families and the society.Currently, medication is a common treatment for ADHD.However, due to a series of adverse effects caused by drug treatment, and some concomitant problems, the effect of drug treatment alone is not ideal.Therefore, non-drug treatment of ADHD is becoming popular.This study aims to review the common non-drug treatment methods and efficacy of ADHD at home and abroad.

The main measures included: fluid volume management and dynamic adjustment; assessment of intake, output and urine volume, and dynamic adjustment of infusion volume and speed; monitoring of pulmonary oxygenation and timely adjustment of fluid resuscitation strategies; monitoring indexes and providing nursing care strategies for fluid management.Results:Finally, among 6 patients with severe blast injury, 5 patients were discharged from the hospital with follow-up treatment after they suffered from the shock and infection phases and refined fluid management, 1 patient died due to severe injury and ineffective rescue.Conclusions:Adopting individualized, phased, and refined liquid management strategy has clinical significance for patients with severe blast injury to smoothly pass the risk period.

OBJECTIVE To establish a mouse model of diabetes mellitus(DM)combined with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)infection to investigate the important pathophysiological changes in the development of DM combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection.METHODS Wild-type(WT)mice and transgenic mice expressing the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor driven by the cytokeratin-18 gene promoter(K18-hACE2)were randomly divided into the control group,DM group,SARS-CoV-2 spike protein(S)infection group and DM combined with S protein infection group,with 10 to 12 mice in each group.All the mice were induced by 10 weeks of high-fat diet combined with 40 mg·kg-1 streptozotocin(STZ)for 3 days by ip,except those in the control group or S protein infection group.The control group was given the same volume of 0.1 mol·L-1 sodium citrate buffer.Mice in the S protein infection group and DM+S protein infection group were additionally given 50 μL mixture of 15 μg SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and 1 g·L-1 polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid(poly[I:C])via intranasal drops,while the control group was given an equal volume of sterile water.The glucose tolerance level and pancreatic islet β cell function of mice were evaluated via oral glucose tolerance test at the 6th week of high-fat feeding and 1 week after the administration of STZ by ip.From the 6th week of high-fat feeding to 2 weeks after the administration of STZ,the random blood glucose and fasting blood glucose of mice were measured by a blood glucose meter.Blood samples were taken from subman-dibular veins of 3 mice in each group at 24,48 and 120 h after S protein infection,and lung tissues were taken after euthanization.The pathological changes of lungs of DM mice before and after S protein infection were observed by HE staining.Except for the DM group,blood samples were collected before S protein infection and at 6,24,48,72 and 120 h after infection.The levels of plasma interleukin 1β(IL-1β),IL-2,IL-6,IL-10,IL-17,interferon gamma-induced protein 10(IP-10),interferon γ(IFN-γ),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1)and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor(G-CSF)were detected by Luminex.The plasma levels of heparan sulfate(HS)were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The levels of cytokines and HS were correlated with the degree of pathological damage by Spearman correlation analysis.RESULTS STZ and high-fat diet could induce DM-like expression in mice,and the random blood glucose(P<0.01)and fasting blood glucose(P<0.05)after 1 week in the hACE2-DM group were significantly higher than in the WT-DM group,and the degree of islet function damage in hACE2-DM mice was significantly higher than that of WT-DM mice(P<0.05).Compared with the DM group,the DM+S group showed more severe pulmonary pathological changes after S protein infection,accompanied by a large number of inflammatory infiltrations and thickening of lung interstitial.Compared with the control group,the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines G-CSF,IL-6 and IP-10 in the plasma of the WT-S group were significantly increased at 6 h after S pro-tein infection(P<0.01),and those of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17 and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 were significantly increased at 24 h after S protein infection(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1,G-CSF and IP-10 in the hACE2-S group were significantly increased at 6 h after S protein infection(P<0.05,P<0.01).IL-17 was significantly increased at 24 h and 6 h after S protein infection in the WT-DM+S group and hACE2-DM+S group,respectively(P<0.01,P<0.05).In the hACE2-DM+S group,IFN-γ and IL-1β were signifi-cantly increased in delay to 48 h(P<0.05,P<0.01),and MCP-1 was significantly increased in delay to 72h(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the level of HS in the plasma of the WT-S group increased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01)at 6 h and 24 h after S protein infection,but began to decrease at 48 h.At the same time,compared with the WT-S group,the HS level in the WT-DM+S group was slightly increased at 6 h after infection and decreased at 24 h.Compared with the control group,the HS level in the hACE2-S group was significantly increased at 24 h(P<0.01),as was the case with the WT-S group 24 h,48 h and 120 h after S protein infection.At 6 h,24 h and 48 h after S protein infection,the plasma HS level of the hACE2-DM+S group was significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05),and the duration of the increase was longer than in the hACE2-S group.Moreover,the levels of IL-1β,IL-10,MCP-1,IP-10,G-CSF and HS in plasma were positively correlated with the degree of lung dam-age in the DM+S group.CONCLUSION In this study,the mouse model of diabetes combined with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein infection has mimicked part of the pathophysiological features of clinical patients,mainly manifested as blunted immune response and elevated HS levels with longer duration to infection alone.IL-1β,IL-10,MCP-1,IP-10,G-CSF and HS may keep track of the course of disease in patients with diabetes combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Objective:To investigate the molecular testing of liquid-based cytology (LBC) specimens from advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and the reliability of guiding targeted therapy.Methods:The LBC specimens and clinical data of 412 advanced NSCLC patients from March 2015 to April 2017 in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were collected, of which 32 patients had postoperative or biopsy specimens. The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect mutations of EGFR, KRAS and BRAF, and analyze the correlation between gene mutations and clinicopathological characteristics. The results of genetic testing of LBC specimens and histology specimens were examined for concordance. Clinical efficacy was evaluated in 142 patients treated with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) drugs, and survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Of the 412 LBC specimens, 216 (52.4%) had EGFR mutations, 36 (8.7%) had KRAS gene mutations, and 3 (0.7%) had BRAF gene mutations. EGFR mutation was associated with gender, pathology type, and specimen source, with a higher EGFR mutation rate in female patients (63.0%) than in male patients (40.8%, P<0.001) and a higher EGFR mutation rate in adenocarcinoma (54.3%) than in non-adenocarcinoma (0.0%, P<0.001). KRAS mutation was related to gender, with a higher EGFR mutation rate in male patients (12.2%) than in female patients (5.6%, P=0.016). The three cases with multiple co-mutations were all stage Ⅳ male adenocarcinoma patients. Thirty-two patients with both LBC specimens and histology specimens had concordant genetic results between LBC specimens and histology specimens in 30 patients ( Kappa=0.91). Twelve patients with both histology and LBC specimens from metastases had identical genetic results ( Kappa=1.00). Nineteen patients with histology specimens from primary foci in lungs and LBC specimens from metastases had concordant genetic results between two specimens in 18 patients ( Kappa=0.92). The disease control rate (DCR) for EGFR mutation-positive patients treated with EGFR-TKI was 89.0% (89/100) and the progression-free survival time (PFS) was 13.8 months, both higher than those of EGFR mutation-negative patients [DCR of 30.8% (4/13) and median PFS of 1.4 months, P<0.01]. Conclusions:The results of molecular testing of LBC specimens and histological specimens are highly consistent, which demonstrates LBC specimens can be a crucial source of gene testing for advanced NSCLC. Molecular typing of advanced NSCLC based on the results of genetic testing of LBC specimens and guiding EGFR-TKI drug-targeted therapy can achieve high DCR and PFS, which has important clinical value.
