Objective Acute gastrointestinal dysfunction (AGD) is a common problem in critically ill patients, for whomearly enteral nutrition ( EN) is widely used, but its application dosage remains controversial.This study aimed to observe the influence of dif-ferent doses of early EN on acute gastrointestinal tolerance, new infections and other complications, inflammation indexes, and prognosis in AGD patients. Methods We selected 120 critically ill patients that met thecriteria of class-ⅡAGD and needed EN support andequal-ly randomized them intoa standard-dose and a low-dose ENgroup.The former group received EN at 20 mL/h, with an addition of 10 mL/h every 12 hours according to the tolerance and supplemented byparenteral nutrition (PN) to achieve the target calories(60%) on the 3 rd day, while the latterat 20 mL/h for 7 days, supplemented by PN to achieve the target calories on the 3 rd day and from the 7 th day gradu-ally increased to the full volume.We recorded the patients′ICUdays, hospitaldays, mortality rate, organ function support days, incidence of feeding intolerance within 7 days, incidence of new infections within 7 and 28 days, and levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalci-tonin (PCT), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and compared these indexes between the two groups. Resulst There were no statistically significant differences between the low -and standardd-ose EN groups in the patients′ICU days, hospital days, mortality rate,organ function support days, or incidence of new infections within 7 and 28 days ( P>0.05) .The incidence of feeding intol-erance on the 7 th day was significantly lower in the low-dose than in the standard-dose EN group ( 13.3 vs 36.7%, P<0.05).On the 1st, 3rd, and 7 th day, the level of CRP was (5.90±0.72), (16.52± 3.09) , and ( 32.11 ±4.33 ) ng/L, respectively, in the low-dose groupversus(5.83±0.59), (15.83±1.19), and (33.16±4.51)ng/L in the standard-dose group, while that of PCTwas (4.71±1.25), (10.63± 2.21), and ( 16.89±3.39) ng/mL, respectively, in the former versus (4.55±0.67), (10.41±1.99), and (17.49±3.87)ng/mL in the latter, both increased in a time-dependent manner and with significant differ-ences among the three time points within the same group ( P<0.05) .The levels of TNF-αand IL-6 were elevated in the same manner and also with significant differences among the three time points within the same group ( P<0 .05) . Conc lusion Lowdose of early enteral nutrition can improve the feeding tolerance of AGDpatients, but does not influence the incidence of new infections and prognosis.

The tumor volumes of mice for 21 d in the NC+ empty vector group, miR-20a-5p+ empty vector group and miR-20a-5p+ KDM6B group were (1 667.50±250.40) mm 3, (129.20±21.00) mm 3 and (775.41±77.51) mm 3 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=77.651, P<0.001). The tumor weights of the 3 groups were (1.35±0.18) g, (0.12±0.01) g and (0.61±0.03) g respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=104.191, P<0.001). Conclusion:The expression of miR-20a-5p is significantly decreased in osteosarcoma tissues, and the expression of KDM6B is significantly increased in osteosarcoma tissues. Overexpression of miR-20a-5p may inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells and tumor growth by targeting to reduce the expression of KDM6B.

Objective:To observe the incidence of infection related complications after percutaneous nephrolithotripsy.Methods:One hundred and forty-two patients with renal calculi who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to December 2018 were divided into control group (71 cases) and experimental group (71 cases) by random number method. Among them, the control group was treated with common sheath, the experimental group was treated with negative pressure lithotomy, and the patients were followed up for 1 year after the operation to count the recurrence. The patients in the two groups were compared in terms of perioperative indexes, intraoperative complication rate, postoperative complication rate, recurrence rate in 1 year′s follow-up and quality of life in 1 year′s follow-up.Results:The operation time in two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). The amount of bleeding in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(12.15 ± 1.06) ml vs. (13.03 ± 1.17) ml], the length of hospitalization was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(5.13 ± 0.67) d vs. (6.02 ± 0.78) d], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The incidence of intraoperative complications in two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group [1.41%(1/71) vs. 11.27%(8/71)], the recurrence rate in the follow-up period of 1 year was significantly lower than that in the control group [1.14%(1/71) vs. 9.86%(7/71)], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The scores of postoperative World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionaire BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) of the two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). At 1 year′s follow-up, the scores of WHOQOL-BREF in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01).

Objective To examine whether Tim-3 plays a protective role in paraquat poisoning induced excessive immune response and tissue damage based on the critical roles of Tim-3 controlling inflammatory response.Methods A paraquat poisoning model was established in wild type and in Tim-3 transgenic C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal injection of paraquat (40 mg/kg) .In addition, C57BL/6 mice with paraquat poisoning were injected with Tim-3 soluble protein( sTim-3) or control protein to see the effect of Tim-3 blocking on the progression of paraquat poisoning.Samples were collected at 6 and 24 h after paraquat injection respectively and were examined for tissue damage, cytokine expression and paraquat metabolism.Results After paraquat poisoning, there was significantly attenuated tissue damage in the lungs and kidneys and decreased TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1 beta expression in the PBMCs or in the serum from Tim-3 transgenic mice compared to wild type mice.The serum concentration of paraquat in Tim-3 transgenic mice was also significantly decreased.However, in sTim-3 treated paraquat poisoning mice, there was significantly increased cytokine expression and tissue damage compared to control protein treated mice.The in vitro data showed that Tim-3 signaling negatively regulated macrophages mediated inflammatory response.Conclusion Tim-3 plays a critical role in maintaining the homeostasis after paraquat poisoning. Further investigation on the regulatory roles of Tim-3 in inflammation will shed new light on the pathogenesis of paraquat poisoning and provide new therapeutic strategies.

Objective Based on the gene expression omnibus(GEO)database,bioinformatics methods were employed to analyze the expression characteristics of hypoxia-related differentially expressed genes(HRDEGs)in ischemic stroke,and key genes were screened,to provide important support for a deeper understanding of ischemic stroke.Methods The GSE16561 and GSE58294 datasets were downloaded from the GEO database,and Python software was used for data integration.The Combat method was employed to eliminate batch effects while retaining disease grouping characteristics.Principal component analysis was conducted to reduce dimensionality of the data before and after batch effect removal,and intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)testing was performed on the ischemic stroke and normal control groups.Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)and single-sample GSEA were conducted on the merged and batch effects eliminated dataset,with a nominal P-value(NOM P-val)<0.05 and false discovery rate P-value(FDR P-val)<0.25 used as criteria to select significantly different gene sets.Differential expression genes between the ischemic stroke samples and normal control samples after merging and eliminating batch effects of the GSE16561 and GSE58294 datasets were identified using R software,with an absolute value of log2 gene expression fold change(FC)≥0.58 and adjusted P-value(Padj)<0.05 as selection criteria.Intersection with hypoxia-related genes obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI)in the United States yielded the HRDEGs.Gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses were performed on the HRDEGs,and the STRING database was used to construct a protein-protein interaction network of differentially expressed genes.The top 10 key genes were filtered using Cytoscape 3.8 software.Results The ICC analysis results showed excellent consistency in the ischemic stroke and normal control samples after batch effect removal,with ICC values of 0.94 and 0.98 for the GSE16561 and GSE58294datasets,respectively.GSEA results demonstrated significant enrichment of 34 gene sets in the stroke samples in the newly merged and batch effects removed dataset from GSE16561 and GSE58294,leading to the identification of 404 differentially expressed genes(all with Padj<0.05),including 354 upregulated genes and 50 downregulated genes.Intersection with hypoxia-related genes yielded 64 HRDEGs.GO enrichment analysis indicated significant enrichment of HRDEGs in vesicle lumen,cytoplasmic vesicle lumen,secretory granule lumen,with molecular functions such as amide binding,peptide binding,phospholipid binding,and enzyme inhibitor activity.These genes are primarily involved in the positive regulation of cytokine production,regulation of immune response,response to bacterium-derived molecules,and response to lipopolysaccharide,among other biological processes.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed enrichment of HRDEGs in pathways related to lipid and atherosclerosis,Salmonella infection,neutrophil extracellular trap formation,nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor signaling pathway,protein glycosylation in cancer,tuberculosis,and necroptosis.Based on the protein-protein interaction network,10 key genes were identified,including arginase1(ARG1),caspase1(CASP1),interleukin1 receptor type 1(IL-1R1),integrin subunit alpha M(ITGAM),matrix metalloproteinase9(MMP9),prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2(PTGS2),signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3),Toll-like receptor2(TLR2),TLR4,and TLR8.Conclusion This study has identified 10 key genes associated with ischemic stroke and hypoxia through bioinformatics mining,which maybe provid potential targets for subsequent research and diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
