Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perioperative management of patients with recent myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods Twelve patients underwent general or thoracic surgery on the 72th to 175th day after acute MI. Their mean age was (67?4 ) years old. All patients received epidural block or epidural block combined with general anesthesia. Epidural catheter was left in place for postoperative analgesia.Results All patients underwent operation smoothly. During operation ECG monitoring showed no ischemic ST-T changes. Postoperative pain relif was satisfactory. No acute heart failure or myocardial reinfarction occurred during their stay in hospital.Conclusions In patients who had recent MI the time interval between the first MI and surgery should not be the only factor in the risk assessment. Other factors such as urgency of surgery, the severity of coronary artery disease, exercise tolerance and complexity of surgery should also be considered. Adequate preoperative evaluation and preparation and maintenance of cardiac function during perioperative period are crucial to the safety of surgery. Epidural block combined with general anesthesia is the anesthesia of choice for patient with recent MI undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of early enteral nutrition (EEN) on the immune function and outcome in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.MethodsTotally 131 patients with severe traumatic brain injury who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of our hospital between March 2010 and March 2011 were enrolled in this study.Among them,69 were in EEN group and 62 were in control group.On day 7,humoral immune function was measured using automatic biochemistry analyzer,and the peripheral blood lymphocyte subset proportions were measured using flow cytometry.The complications were recorded in the initial 7 days after trauma.ResultsCompared with the control group,the EEN group had significantly lower incidences of complications including glucose metabolism disorder,diarrhea/stomach intestine distend,infection,multiple organ dysfunction syndrome,and stress ulcer on day 7 ( P =0.000,0.002,0.001,0.004,and 0.002).Hospital mortality in the EEN group was also significantly lower than that in control group ( P =0.028).The serum levels of IgM and IgG in EEN group were significantly higher than in control group ( both P =0.000),whereas the serum levels of C3 and C4 in the EEN group were significantly lower ( both P =0.000).IgA showed no significant difference between these two groups (P =0.144).The serum levels of CD3 + CD4 + T lymphocytes,CD4 +/CD8 + T lymphocytes,and CD19 + lymphocytes in the EEN group were significantly higher than in control group (all P =0.000),while CD3 + CD8 + T lymphocytes showed no significant difference ( P =0.070 ),The serum level of CD16+ CD56+ T lymphocytes in the EEN group was significantly lower than that in control group (P =0.026).ConclusionPatients with severe traumatic brain injury have good tolerance of EEN,which may enhance the immune function and improve the outcome of the patients.
7. Research progress in prognostic factors of hepatitis B virus-associated end-stage liver disease
Chinese Journal of Hepatology 2018;26(8):626-629
Hepatitis B remains a worldwide health problem with a high mortality rate associated with end-stage liver diseases. The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease and Child-Pugh score is still widely used as the prognostic model for liver cirrhosis and inflammatory reaction, B-type natriuretic peptide and portal vein thrombosis are independent risk factors. Many new models have been proposed for liver failure, including a new model HINAT ACLF. HINAT ACLF is better than its preceding models and increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a single factor to promote thyroid hormone, cholinesterase, and antiviral treatment response in this model. HBV DNA is frequently involved in the predictive model of liver cancer, but with widespread use of antiviral drugs, the value of its long-term prognostication has gradually reduced. Therefore, liver stiffness value instead of HBV DNA shows apparent advantages in mREACH-B. ALBI has good median survival prediction value for hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Alpha-fetoprotein and staging method, which is based on tumor number and size, are still independent risk factors for liver cancer.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and the correlation between T helper 17 cell (Th17)/regulatory T cells (Treg) cell imbalance and cytokines.Methods:A total of 31 patients with IgG4-RD who were admitted to the Rheumatology and Immunology Department of the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2016 to June 2020 were included. We collected their clinical and laboratory data, and selected 30 age and sex matched healthy people as the control group. Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage and absolute number of lymphocyte subsets [T, B, natural killer cell (NK), CD4 +T, CD8 +T] and CD4 +T subsets [Th1, Th2, Th17, CD4 +CD25 +forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) +Treg] in peripheral blood of IgG4-RD patients and healthy controls. The serum interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interferon (IFN)-γ levels in the IgG4-RD patients were measured by cytometric bead array (CBA). Correlation between Th17/Treg ratio and disease-related indicators was also analyzed. We used χ2 test, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation analysis for statistical analysis. Results:① The percentage of CD4 +T cells in the peripheral blood of IgG4-RD patients was higher than that of healthy controls [45.00%(33.97%, 51.48%) vs 39.36%(33.78%, 43.30%), Z=-2.142, P<0.05]. ② The percentage and absolute number of Th17 cells was increased in IgG4-RD patients [1.13%(0.70%, 1.55%) vs 0.77%(0.43%, 1.07%), Z=-2.229, P<0.05; 7.90(5.20, 12.23) cells/μl vs 5.60(3.12, 8.47) cells/μl, Z=-2.568, P<0.05], while the percentage of Treg cells was decreased [3.37%(2.82%, 5.65%) vs 4.96%(4.18%, 6.34%), Z=-2.986, P<0.01]. But the number of Treg cells showed no difference between the two groups. ③ Th17/Treg ratio was significantly increased in IgG4-RD patients [0.29(0.16, 0.46) vs 0.15(0.08, 0.23), Z=-3.119, P<0.01], and it was positively correlated with IgG4-RD response index score ( r=0.491, P<0.01). ④ Serum IL-6 [13.72(9.29, 26.06) pg/ml vs 2.23(1.94, 3.10) pg/ml, Z=-4.815, P<0.01], IL-10 [5.46(4.28, 15.38) pg/ml vs 1.81(1.59, 2.02) pg/ml, Z=-5.298, P<0.01], TNF-α [4.25(1.47, 7.26) pg/ml vs 1.15(1.05, 1.45) pg/ml, Z=-3.146, P<0.01] and IFN-γ [3.89(1.76, 6.61) pg/ml vs 1.41(1.24, 1.65) pg/ml, Z=-3.172, P<0.01] in IgG4-RD group were significantly higher than those in healthy control group. Moreover, Th17/Treg ratio was negatively correlated with IL-2 level ( r=-0.554, P<0.05). Conclusion:Th17/Treg disorder exists in IgG4-RD patients, and it is related to disease activity, indicating that Th17/Treg imbalance may be an important mechanism in IgG4-RD. IL-2 plays an important role in regulating Th17/Treg balance and may be a potential immunotherapy target in future.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate feasibility and effectiveness of pedicle screw bi-cortical fixation in lumbar spondylolisthesis or destabilization of aged people. METHODS: The statistical significance of the distance between the anterior edge of vertebral body and the anterior major blood vessels at the level of pediculus arcus vertebrae by CT scan at random were measured and analyzed. 82 cases of lumbar spondylolisthesis or destabilization, aged 65 years (range 51 to 75 years), including 35 males and 47 females, were treated pedicle screw bi-cortical fixation, with the anterior edge of the vertebral body penetrated by one screw thread. The function was evaluated by Macnab backleg pain scale standards. RESULTS: There was significant difference in the distance of the anterior edge and the major vessels between the old and the young (P< 0.05). All the 82 cases were operated successfully, and the mean time was 145 minutes and the mean amount of bleeding was 530 mL. The 43 cases including 15 males and 28 females were followed up for 18 months (range 3 to 53 months). There was one case of rupture of the spinal dura mater with no sequela after the suture. There were 3 cases of transient paralysis and pain of lower limbs, which were alleviated after 2 months' treatment. No complications of nerve root or vessel injuries were found. All incisions healed well at the primary stage. The lumbocrural pain of all 43 cases was alleviated to a certain content. There were 31 cases of excellent, 10 of good, and 2 of fair; the excellent and good rate was 97%. CONCLUSION: It is feasible and safe to treat the lumbar spondylolisthesis or destabilization in the old with the pedicle screw bi-cortical fixation.
