Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP)is a member of the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein family, which can inhibit the metastasis of tumor cells and is closely associated with the occurrence and development of tumor. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)is a endopeptidase that can degrade extracellular matrix and plays an important role in invasion and metastasis of tumor.This article reviewed the advances in studies on RKIP and MMP-9 in colorectal cancer.

Objective To explore the relationship of sevoflurane neurotoxicity with the expres-sion of Bid,Bim,Puma.Methods The cortical neuron from newborn SD rat (within 24 h)were see-ded in 6 or 12 well plate,and then randomly divided into 4 groups.Rat culture cortical neurons in vitro exposed in 1%,2%,4% and 0% sevoflurane for 6h were divided into A,B,C and D group. The effect of neuron viability,death and apoptosis were assessed using CCK-8,LDH and caspase-3 cleavage 1 7kDa expression assay.The expressions of Bid,Bim and Puma were assessed by western blot.Results Compared with group D, there were significant increases of neuron death and apoptosis,but a decrease of neuron viability,and upregulated expressions of Bid,Bim and Puma in group B (P <0.05);Compared with group B,Group C had increased death and apoptosis and de-creased viability of neurons,as well as upregulated expressions of Bid,Bim and Puma (P <0.05 ). Conclusion Along with the increase of the concentration,sevoflurane neurotoxicity was increased by upregulation of Bid,Bim,Puma expression.

Objective To evaluate the role of hypoxia inducible factor?1α ( HIF?1α) in reduction of apoptosis in cortical neurons of rats by sevoflurane preconditioning and the relationship with Slit2∕Robo signaling pathway. Methods Primary cortical neurons obtained from neonatal Sprague?Dawley rats were seeded in 6?well (2 ml∕well) or 96?well plates (100 μl∕well) at a density of 1×106∕ml, and randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=24 each ) using a random number table: control group ( C group ) , anoxia?reoxygenation ( A∕R ) group, sevoflurane preconditioning group ( SP group ) and HIF?1α inhibitor 2?methoxyestradiol group ( H group ) . The neurons were subjected to O2?glucose deprivation for 90 min followed by restoration of O2?glucose supply for 24 h. In group SP, the neurons were exposed to 2%sevoflurane for 2 h followed by 5 min washout with phosphate buffered saline for 3 times, and then sevoflurane preconditioning was performed immediately. In group H, sevoflurane preconditioning was performed with 5μmol∕L 2?methoxyestradiol at 72 h of incubation. The apoptosis in neurons was assessed using AnnexinⅤ?FITC∕PI assay, and apoptosis rate ( AR) was calculated. The amount of lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH) released was measured using colorimetric method. The expression of Slit2, Robo1 and Robo4 mRNA and protein was detected by fluorescent quantitative real?time polymerase chain reaction or Western blot. Results Compared with group C, the amount of LDH released and AR were significantly increased, Silt2 and Robo1 mRNA and protein expression was up?regulated, and no significant change was found in Robo4 mRNA and protein expression in A∕R group. Compared with group A∕R, the amount of LDH released and AR were significantly decreased in SP and H groups, and Silt2 and Robo1 mRNA and protein expression was up?regulated, and no significant change was found in Robo4 mRNA and protein expression in SP group. Compared with group SP, the amount of LDH released and AR were significantly increased, and Silt2 and Robo1 mRNA and protein expression was down?regulated in H group. Conclusion HIF?1α mediates reduction of apoptosis in cortical neurons of rats by sevoflurane preconditioning, and the mechanism is associated with Slit2∕Robo1 signaling pathway, but not with Slit2∕Robo4 signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze the clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics as well as its evolutionary process of Dravet syndrome (DS) in order to improve early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.Methods Fifty patients with DS were studied including onset age, trigger factors, seizure types on different age stages and relationship with EEG characteristics and its evolution process.Results The average age of seizure onset was ( 5.5 ± 1.9 ) months.The fever sensitivity continuously existed in the entire course of disease.In the early stage, generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) and focal or unilateral seizures were main types.Multi seizure types included myoclonic seizures (MS) and atypical absence occurred later.The onset ages of MS were average (M50) of 16 months.MS never occurred in 26% of the patients.During the first year of life, EEGs were normal in 76% of these patients.The epileptiform discharges only recorded in about 50% of the patients in spite of multi seizure types had presented.After three years ago, both EEG background abnormalities and discharges occurred in more 90% of the all patients.Photosensitivity response with MS occurred in the 28% of 18 patients.Conclusions The clinical and EEG are not parallel progressively process in early stage of DS.The children often express more severe clinical seizures than EEG abnormalities until 2 years of age.Various abnormal EEG manifestation obviously display gradually after 3 years age.Precise recognizing with the clinical and EEG characteristics of DS will help get correct early diagnosis and screen the candidate cases to test SCN1A gene.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the mechanism underlying methylprednisolone-induced alleviation of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK)/nucleotide binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway in lung tissues of rats.Methods:Sixty clean-grade male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 270-320 g, aged 4-5 months, were divided into 3 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), mechanical ventilation group (group V), and methylprednisolone group (group M). Group C breathed air spontaneously for 4 h without mechanical ventilation.Group V was mechanically ventilated (RR 40 times/min, V T 40 ml/kg, I∶E 1∶1, PEEP 0, FiO 2 21%) for 4 h. Group M received intravenous methylprednisolone 10 mg/kg at 20 min before mechanical ventilation.At 4 h of mechanical ventilation, broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected to measure the concentrations of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio), and lung tissues were obtained for microscopic examination of the histopathological changes and for detection of the expression of p38MAPK, phosphorylated p38MAPK (p-p38MAPK), NLRP3, apoptosis-related speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), and cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-1 (caspase-1) (using Western blot). Results:Compared with group C, the W/D ratio of lung tissues and concentrations IL-1β, IL-18 and TNF-α in BALF were significantly increased, and the expression of p-p38MAPK, NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 was up-regulated in group V ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in group M ( P>0.05). Compared with group V, the W/D ratio of lung tissues and concentrations of IL-1β, IL-18 and TNF-α in BALF were significantly decreased, and the expression of p-p38MAPK, NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 was down-regulated in group M ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism by which methylprednisolone alleviates VILI may be related to inhibition of p38MAPK/NLRP3 pathway activity and reduction of inflammatory responses in lung tissues of rats.

OBJECTIVETo identify the mutation of the GABA(A)-receptor gamma 2 subunit gene (GABRG2) in a Chinese family with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+ ) and analyze the genotype-phenotype correlations and its inheritance.

METHODSGenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes of the proband and other available members in the GEFS+ family. The coding regions and flanking intronic regions of the GABRG2 gene were screened for mutations using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct DNA sequencing.

RESULTSThere were 7 affected members in the three-generation family, in which one with febrile seizures (FS) and six with febrile seizures plus (FS+ ). This family was consistent with the diagnostic criteria of GEFS+ . The nonsense mutation c.1287G to A (p.W390X) in the GABRG2 gene was initially identified in the proband. Seven affected members (6 FS+ and 1 FS) and one unaffected member carried the mutation. The nonsense mutation c.1287G to A/p.W390X in the GABRG2 gene was co-segregated with the GEFS+ family. The penetrance rate was about 87.5%(7/8).

CONCLUSIONThis GEFS+ family was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. GABRG2 mutation is also a disease-causing mutation in Chinese GEFS+ patients. The p.W390X mutation has not been reported previously.

Objective:To evaluate the improved efficacy of transversus abdominal plane (TAP)-rectus sheath (RS) block combined with general anesthesia in the patients undergoing laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:Fifty-six American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 45-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=28 each) using a random number table method: general anesthesia group (group G) and TAP-RS block plus general anesthesia group (group TRG). In group TRG, after induction of general anesthesia, bilateral TAP-RS block was performed with 0.375% ropivacaine mixed with 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine under ultrasound guidance, 20 ml was injected into the plane of bilateral transverse abdominis, and 10 ml was injected into the posterior sheath of the bilateral rectus abdominis, and the tube was placed on the plane of the transverse abdominis, and 5 ml/h was continuously pumped after operation.In both groups, anesthesia was induced with IV midazolam, sufentanil, etomiddate and cisatracurium besylate and maintained using combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia, and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was performed after operation.Pulmonary function indexes were measured before induction of anesthesia (T 0) and at 6, 12 and 24 h after removal of the tracheal tube (T 1-3). Blood gas analysis was performed at T 0, T 2 and T 3.The occurrence of high/low blood pressure, tachycardia/bradycardia, consumption of opioids, PACU stay time, pressing times of PCIA within 24 h after surgery, rescue analgesia, time of passing the first flatus, the first postoperative off-bed time, length of postoperative hospital stay, and 48 h quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40) were recorded.The occurrence of adverse reactions and nerve block-related complications were recorded within 48 h after operation. Results:Conversion to laparotomy during operation was found in 4 patients, changing the scope of resection in 2 patients, and a total of 50 patients were enrolled in this study.Compared with group G, the pressing times of PCIA was significantly reduced, the requirement for postoperative rescue analgesia was decreased, the intraoperative consumption of sufentanil and remifentanil was reduced, the incidence of intraoperative hypertension and tachycardia was decreased, the FEV1, FVC and PEFR were increased at T 2, 3, the 48 h QoR-40 score was increased, the time of passing the first flatus, the first postoperative off-bed time, and length of postoperative hospital stay were shortened, the incidence of nausea, agitation, somnolence, and hypoxemia was decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the indicators of blood gas analysis at each time point in group TRG ( P>0.05). Nerve block-related complications were not found in group TRG. Conclusion:Compared with general anesthesia alone, TAP-RS block combined with general anesthesia is helpful in carrying out anesthetic model of low-consumption opioids and improving the quality of early postoperative recovery when used in the patients undergoing laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block(SLNB) combined with intravenous anesthesia for improving pediatric fiberoptic bronchoscopy.Methods:Forty pediatric patients of either sex, aged 3-6 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠor Ⅱ, with body mass index of 18-24 kg/m 2, undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy in Cangzhou Central Hospital in 2022, were divided into 2 groups ( n=20 each) by a random number table method: ultrasound-guided SLNB plus intravenous anesthesia group (group A) and topical anesthesia plus intravenous anesthesia group (group B). After sedation with dexmedetomidine and esketamine, ultrasound-guided bilateral SLNB was performed with 1% lidocaine 0.5 ml (for each side)in group A, and topical anesthesia was performed with 1% lidocaine in nasal and pharyngeal cavities in group B. After completion of the surgery procedure, propofol was continuously infused at 5 mg·kg -1·h -1 until completion of diagnosis and treatment. An increment of propofol 1 mg/kg was intravenously given if severe bucking or body movement occurred during operation. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and SpO 2 were recorded on admission to the operating room (T 0), immediately after sedation (T 1), immediately after bronchoscopy entering the glottis (T 2), 5 min after start of treatment (T 3) and at the end of examination (T 4). The occurrence of intraoperative hypoxemia, HR <60 bpm, and MAP <50 mmHg were recorded, and the additional dose of propofol was recorded. The venous blood samples were collected at T 0 and T 4 to determine plasma cortisol concentrations by chemiluminescence.The surgeon′s satisfaction score was recorded. The complications of SLNB were also recorded within 2 h after operation in group A. Results:Compared with group B, HR was significantly decreased at T 2 and T 3, SpO 2 was increased, the intraoperative additional dosage of propofol and incidence of hypoxemia were decreased, and the surgeon′s satisfaction score was increased, and the concentrations of cortisol were decreased at T 4 in group A ( P<0.05). No HR<60 bpm and MAP<50 mmHg were found in two groups. No SLNB-related complications were observed after operation in group A. Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided SLNB combined with intravenous anesthesia is safer for pediatric fiberoptic bronchoscopy and can improve the analgesic effect and is more helpful in inhibiting intraoperative stress responses when compared with conventional anesthesia.
