Objective To evaluate the efficacy of topical anesthesia with inhaled aerosolized lidocaine during tracheal intubation under the guidance of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in patients with cervical cord injury complicated with high paraplegia. Methods Sixty-four patients with cervical cord injury complicated with high paraplegia were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 32 each): group Ⅰ aerosol inhalation and group Ⅱ spray and cricothyroid membrane puncture. In group Ⅰ aerosolized 2% lidocaine was inhaled. In group Ⅱ after the pharynx and larynx was sprayed with 2% lidocaine, cricothyroid membrane puncture was performed and then 2% lidocaine 2 ml was injected. Midazolam 0.01 mg/kg and fentanyl 1 μg/kg were injected iv in both groups 15 min before tracheal intubation guided by FOB. During tracheal intubation guided by FOB, the intubation condition was assessed, and MAP, HR, ECG and SpO2 were monitored. Results The satisfactory rate of intubation condition and success rate of intubation under the guidance of FOB were significantly higher, and the incidences of arrhythmia and bad memory lower in group Ⅰ than in group Ⅱ ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The topical anesthesia with inhaled aerosolized 2% lidocaine is helpful for improving the FOB-guided tracheal intubation condition, and can reduce the occurrence of adverse effects in patients with cervical cord injury complicated with high paraplegia.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of cutaneous delayed-type hypersensitivity caused by injection of equine tetanus antitoxin (TAT) or equine anti-tetanus immunoglobulin F (ab′) 2. Methods:Clinical data were collected from 181 outpatients or inpatients with cutaneous delayed-type hypersensitivity caused by injection of equine TAT or anti-tetanus immunoglobulin from 2008 to 2020, and retrospectively analyzed.Results:Before the injection of equine TAT or anti-tetanus immunoglobulin, skin test was negative in 171 (94.47%) of the 181 patients, and the 10 (5.53%) patients with positive skin test responses received desensitization injection. Among the 181 patients, there were 118 males and 63 females aged from 11 to 68 years, with the disease duration of 1 to 7 days and alatency period of 4 to 14 days. There was no significant difference in the clinical manifestations between the patients receiving injection of TAT (130 cases) and those receiving injection of equine anti-tetanus immunoglobulin (51 cases) . Urticaria-like rashes were the main clinical manifestation, and infiltrative erythema occurred at the injection site in 12 patients, of whom 10 developed generalized urticaria all over the body. Of the 181 patients, 163 (90.06%) presented with generalized skin rashes, and 56 (30.94%) had systemic symptoms such as chest tightness, fever, etc, of whom 15 (26.79%) had a history of allergies and 6 with severe symptoms had no history of allergies. Thirty-four (18.78%) patients had single or multiple laboratory abnormalities, such as increased white blood cell counts, elevated C-reactive protein level and urinary glucose, and presence of occult blood in urine. All cases responded well to the treatment with antihistamines and glucocorticoids. The treatment duration ranged from 3 to 10 days, and the outcome was good.Conclusion:TAT-or anti-tetanus immunoglobulin-induced cutaneous delayed-type hypersensitivity may still occur in patients with a negative skin test or after desensitization treatment, and mainly manifests as urticaria-like rashes.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of ulinastatin on plasma thromboxane B(2) and deep vein thrombosis(DVT) in elderly patients after hip joint replacement. METHODS: Eighty ASAI-IIpatients aged 65-81 years undergoing hip joint replacement were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=20): Group U1 (ulinastatin 5 000 U/kg);Group U2 (ulinastatin 10 000 U/kg); Group U3 (ulinastatin 20 000 U/kg); and Group C (the same volume of saline as control).The blood samples were collected at 5 time points: preoperation (T(1)), immediately after the operation (T(2)), 1 d (T(3)), 2 d (T(4)) and 3 d after the operation (T(5)), respectively. Thromboxane B(2) was detected, and DVT was also examined through color Doppler ultrasonography 3 d after the operation. RESULTS: Compared with T(1), the level of thromboxane B(2) significantly increased in Group C at T(2)-5, in Group U1 at T(2-4), in Group U2 and U3 at T(2) (P<0.01). Compared with Group C, the concentration of thromboxane B(2) decreased in Group U1 at T(2-3), in Group U2 and U3 at T(2-4) (P<0.01). Compared with Group U1, thromboxane B(2) significantly decreased in Group U2 and U3 at T(2-4) (P<0.01).The incidence rate of DVT was 40% in Group C, 10% in Group U1. There was no incidence of DVT in the Group U2 and U3 (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Ulinastatin can inhibit blood thromboxane B(2) level in dose dependent manner and prevent DVT in elderly patients after hip joint replacement.

Objective:To explore the application effect of quantitative evaluation nursing in Operating Room in patients undergoing radical resection of rectal cancer.Methods:A total of 114 patients who received radical resection of rectal cancer in Xi'an Daxing Hospital from December 2019 to December 2021 were selected by the convenient sampling method. According to the order of admission, they were divided into the observation group and the conventional group, with 57 cases in each group. The observation group received quantitative evaluation nursing in the Operating Room, while the conventional group received routine Operating Room nursing. The differences in physiological indexes and mood state scores were compared between the two groups.Results:The postoperative diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and heart rate in the observation group were lower than those in the conventional group ( P<0.05). The scores of depression-frustration, tension-anxiety, fatigue-dullness, anger-hostility and confusion-chaos dimensions of postoperative mood state in the observation group were lower than those in the conventional group, and the energy-vitality score was higher than that in the conventional group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Quantitative evaluation nursing in the Operating Room can reduce the psychosomatic stress response in patients undergoing radical resection of rectal cancer.

Objective To create the new type critical illness score scale based on logistic regression pre-diction model,and to evaluate its predictive value for the patient transferring to intensive care unit (ICU) and death.Methods The clinical data in 1000 patients were retrospectively collected from the HIS system of this hospital from October 2022 to October 2023.The new critical illness score scale was created based on the model in predicting the ICU transfer rate created by the previous studies.The modified early warning score (MEWS) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APCHEⅡ) score served as reference respec-tively,the predictive value of the new type critical illness score scale for patient transferring to ICU and death was evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC).Results The ICU transfer rate of the patients was 29.8％,and the mortality rate was 8.10％.The new type critical illness score scale,MEWS and APCHEⅡ scores of the patients who were transferred to ICU or died were significant-ly higher than those of the patients who were not transferred to ICU or died (P<0.05).The predictive value of the new critical illness scale,MEWS,and APCHEⅡ scores for ICU transfer was high (P<0.05).AUC was 0.917,0.922 and 0.934 respectively,the sensitivity was 82.26％,84.22％ and 90.57％ respectively,the speci-ficity was 80.36％,73.50％ and 83.45％ respectively and the Youden index was 62.62％,57.72％ and 74.02％,respectively.The predictive value of the new type critical illness score scale,MEWS and APCHEⅡ scores for the death was high (P<0.05).AUC was 0.924,0.914 and 0.933 respectively,the sensitivity was 93.48％,86.38％ and 84.67％ respectively,the specificity was 73.46％,79.38％ and 88.69％ respectively,and the Youden index was 66.94％,65.76％ and 73.36％ respectively.Conclusion The predictive value of the new type critical illness score scale for the patients transferring to ICU and death is basically consistent with that of the traditional scales,which could serve as a new evaluation tool for ICU patients.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of nutritional and fluid status measured by bioelectrical impedance methods for the prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Methods Patients with severe AKI received CRRT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2016 to September 2018 were enrolled, and divided into death group and survival group according to 28-day survival. Cox regression was used to analyze the association between 28-day survival and lean tissue index (LTI), fat tissue index (FTI), the ratio of extracellular water (ECW) and body cell mass (BCM) (ECW/BCM), and overhydration (OH), respectively. Results A total of 156 patients were included, including 101 males and 55 females. The age was (62.7 ± 15.4) years, with sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score of 9.9±3.9. The 28-day mortality rate was 46.2％. The pre-CRRT OH values in the 28-day survival group and death group were 2.95(1.80, 5.50) L and 4.20(2.95, 5.70) L(P=0.016), and ECW/BCM values were 1.00(0.76, 1.18) and 1.07(0.88, 1.25) (P=0.033), respectively. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that pre-CRRT high OH values (HR=1.08, 95％CI 1.00-1.17, P=0.040) and high ECW/BCM values (HR=3.02, 95％CI 1.46-6.22, P=0.003) were associated with 28-day death. The changes of OH values (HR=0.83, 95％CI 0.72-0.95, P=0.008) and ECW/BCM values (HR=6.79, 95％CI 1.72-26.82, P=0.006) between pre - CRRT and the 7th day after CRRT initiation were significantly associated with 28-day mortality in patients who survived 7 days after CRRT initiation. After adjusting for age, gender, and SOFA scores, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the high OH value (HR=1.16, 95％CI 1.06-1.27, P=0.002) and the high ECW/BCM value (HR=2.80, 95％CI 1.30-6.06, P=0.003) before CRRT, the change of OH value (HR=0.82, 95％CI 0.72-0.95, P=0.008) and ECW/BCM value (HR=2.79, 95％CI 1.30-5.98, P=0.009) between the 7th day after CRRT initiation and pre-CRRT, were independently associated with 28-day death, while LTI (HR=0.93, 95％CI 0.86-1.02, P=0.113) and FTI (HR=0.98, 95％ CI 0.92-1.04, P=0.475) before CRRT were uncorrelated with 28-day death. Conclusions In bioelectrical impedance analysis, the high OH value and high ECW/BCM value before CRRT are associated with 28-day mortality in patients with AKI, while the nutritional indicators LTI and FTI before CRRT are not significantly related. The correction of fluid overload by CRRT within 7 days may reduce the risk of 28-day mortality.

Objective:To further improve socket shield technique. The treatment outcome and the key related factors in Asian population are evaluated by measuring the root fragment and alveolar crest parameters in immediate implant placement cases with socket shield.Methods:A total of 18 patients, with 21 implants placed using socket shield technique were included in this retrospective study. Fourteen implants of 11 cases were recruited from West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, 7 implants of 7 cases were recruited from Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. The relationship between the thickness of the root fragment, the vertical height of the root fragment and the dimensional changes of buccal alveolar bone in 6 months was analyzed respectively. The pink-white esthetic scores were evaluated. The complications were recorded, analyzed and preventive measures were put forward.Results:There is a negative correlation between the vertical height of tooth fragment and the buccal crest height reduction ( r=-0.458, P=0.037). There were negative correlations between the thickness of the tooth fragment with the vertical dimensional changes ( r=-0.574, P=0.007) and horizontal dimensional changes ( r=-0.619, P=0.003) of buccal alveolar bone. Three cases with internal exposure were recorded during the treatment. No severe complications were observed. Every case achieved a satisfying pink-white esthetic outcome according to the existing treatment protocols. Conclusions:Rigorous case screening, delicate surgical procedures, and maintaining adequate thickness of the root are the key to achieve a good esthetic outcome of implant treatment with socket shield technique.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of gracillin from Reineckia carnea on autophagy in non- small cell lung cancer A549 cells. METHODS Using A549 cells as subjects， the effects of different concentrations of gracillin （0.25， 0.5， 1， 2， 4 μmol/L） on the proliferation of cells were detected by CCK-8 after being treated for different time （12， 24， 48 h）. Compared with the control group without medication， the effect of gracillin （2 μmol/L） on the formation of autophagosomes in cells was observed by transmission electron microscope after 24 h of exposure. The aggregation of GFP-LC3 on autophagosome membrane was detected by GFP-LC3 plasmid transfection after being treated with gracillin （0.25， 0.5， 1， 2 μmol/L） for 24 h. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of family with sequence similarity 102 member A（FAM102A）， the expressions of autophagy-related proteins [p62， Beclin-1， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B （LC3B）]， and the expressions of phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway-related proteins in A549 cells after being treated with gracillin （0.25， 0.5， 1 and 2 μmol/L） for 24 h. RESULTS Gracillin significantly inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The IC50 was 2.55 μmol/L at 24 h. After 24 h of gracillin treatment， autophagosomes with bilayer membrane structure were found in the cell cytoplasm， and GFP-LC3 green fluorescent spots on autophagosome membrane were obvious， representing an increasing trend as drug concentration. Compared with the control group， mRNA and protein expressions of FAM102A （0.5， 1， 2 μmol/L groups）， protein expression of Beclin-1 （1， 2 μmol/L groups） and LC3B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ ratio （2 μmol/L group） were significantly increased in different concentrations of gracillin groups， while the protein expression of p62 （1， 2 μmol/L groups）， and the protein phosphorylations of Akt （1， 2 μmol/L groups） and PI3K （2 μmol/L group） were all decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Gracillin can promote excessive autophagy in A549 cells by up-regulating mRNA and protein expressions of FAM102A and inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， thus inhibiting cell proliferation.
