Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on perioperative cell immune function in patients undergoing hepatoma surgery. Methods Sixty patients (40-65 y/o, 50-80 kg body weight, ASA grad-ing I-II) with hepatoma were allocated into two groups each containing 30 patients:control group (group C) and dex-medetomidine group (group D). 15 minutes before anesthesia induction, a loading dose of dexmedetomidine 0.5μg/kg was injected intravenously, followed by infusion at 0.4μg/(kg · h)until the end of operation in group D. The equal volume of normal saline was administered in group C.Blood samples were obtained from jugular vein before induc-tion of anesthesia (T0), the end of operation(T1) and 24 h after the end of surgery (T2) for detections of the levels of T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+) and NK cells by flow cytometry. CIM+/CD8+ratio was calculated. Serum IL-2 and IL-10 were detected by ELISA methods. Results When compared with the baseline value (T0), the levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ratio and NK cells significantly decreased at T1 and T2 in group C, and the levels of CD3+and CD4+also significantly decreased at T1 and T2 in group D (P<0.05). Compared with group C, the levels of CD3+, CD4+, NK cells and IL-2 at T1 and T2 were significantly higher in group D, and level of IL-10 at T1 and T2 were significantly lower in group D (P < 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine could improve the postoperative suppression of immune function in patients undergoing hepatoma surgery.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) in the diagnosis of residual or recurrent lesion after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsPubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang Data were searched for studies on CECT and/or CEMRI in the diagnosis of residual or recurrent lesion after TACE published up to April 2019. After two reviewers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, and assessment of the risk of bias using the QUADAS-2 tool, Stata 12.0 and RevMan 5.3 were used to analyze pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC). ResultsA total of 13 studies on CECT and 13 studies on CEMRI in the diagnosis of residual or recurrent HCC lesion after TACE were included, with 934 lesions from 748 patients and 847 lesions from 557 patients, respectively. High heterogeneity was observed in the 13 studies on CECT in the diagnosis of residual or recurrent HCC lesion after TACE (P=0.001, Q=12.56, I2=84.08%), while no significant heterogeneity was observed in the 13 studies on CEMRI (P=0.473, Q=0.11, I2=0). In the diagnosis of residual or recurrent HCC lesion after TACE, CECT had a sensitivity of 72% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 66%-78%), a specificity of 99% (95% CI: 93%-100%), and an AUC of 0.87 (95% CI: 0.83-0.89), and CEMRI had a sensitivity of 88% (95% CI: 82%-93%), a specificity of 96% (95% CI: 91%-98%), and an AUC of 0.98 (95% CI: 0.96-0.99). CECT had a significantly lower sensitivity than CEMRI in the diagnosis of residual or recurrent HCC lesion after TACE (Z=2.12, P=0.03). ConclusionIn comparison with CECT, CEMRI has an extremely higher diagnostic efficiency in the diagnosis of residual or recurrent HCC lesion after TACE and is thus an effective method for diagnosis.

Objective:
To investigate the association between maternal parenting styles and quality of life among preschools,to provide a scientific theoretical basis for interventions targeting at prmoting early life health.
Methods:
From May to July, 2021, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to enroll 4 233 child mother dyads from 14 preschools in Chengdu. An online questionnaire survey was administered to collect socio demographic information, maternal parenting styles, and children s quality of life.
Results:
The overall score of quality of life was (80.17±9.81) among preschool children in Chengdu. In the multivariate linear regression models, maternal emotional warmth were significantly associated with higher scores in emotional functioning, social functioning, school functioning, psychosocial health summary score, and total scores ( β coefficients in the high level group were 2.63 , 4.95 , 12.05, 6.54,4.88, P <0.05). In contrast, both maternal rejection and overprotection were significantly associated with lower scores in physical functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning, school functioning, psychosocial health summary score, and the total scores of children s quality of life (for rejection: β coefficients in the high level group were -9.39, -10.82, -7.12 , -6.04 , -8.00, and -8.35 , respectively; for overprotection: β coefficients in the high level group were -6.71, -5.85, -3.08 , -2.39 , -3.77, and - 4.51 , respectively, P <0.05). The associations between high level of maternal rejection and children s emotional functioning showed significant gender differences( β =-3.23, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Maternal parenting style has a significant impact on children s quality of life. Interventions targeting at maternal parenting styles may be beneficial to improve the quality of life in preschool children.

Objective:To investigate the association between C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin (ALB) ratio (CAR) and mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods:Clinical data of 791 PD patients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2019 were retrospectively collected. According to the baseline quartiles of CAR, patients were divided into three groups: low-level CAR group (CAR≤0.161 mg/g, n=264), medium-level CAR group (CAR 0.162-0.214 mg/g, n=263) and high-level CAR group (CAR≥0.215 mg/g, n=264). The clinical data among the three groups were compared. Follow-up was ended on March 31, 2020, or when the patients stopped PD due to death, shift to hemodialysis, renal transplantation or recovery of renal function. Kaplan-Meier survival curve, multivariate Cox proportional hazard model and Fine-Gray competing risk model were used to assess the relationship between CAR and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality. The association between CAR, CRP, ALB, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), or platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mortality in PD patients was compared by receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis. Results:The age of the patients was (59.8±15.7) years old, and 447(56.5%) patients were males. 714(90.3%) patients had hypertension. 233(29.5%) patients had diabetes. 182(23.0%) patients had cardiovascular diseases. The median follow-up time was 55(31, 88) months. By the end of the follow-up, 236 deaths (29.8%) happened, and 95 patients (12.0%) died from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis results showed that the overall survival rate of the high-level CAR group was lower than those of the low-level CAR group and medium-level CAR group (Log-rank test χ2=109.50, P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis and Fine-Gray competing risk model revealed that CAR was independently correlated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality after adjusting for confounding factors ( HR=2.891, 95% CI 1.921-4.351, P<0.001; SHR=1.297, 95% CI 1.128-1.490, P<0.001). ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve ( AUC) of CAR for predicting the risk of all-cause mortality in PD patients was 0.737(95% CI 0.700-0.774), which was superior to those of CRP ( AUC=0.643, 95% CI 0.599-0.687), NLR( AUC=0.608, 95% CI 0.563-0.653) and PLR ( AUC=0.554, 95% CI 0.508-0.601), and slightly lower than ALB ( AUC=0.752, 95% CI 0.716-0.788). The optimal cutoff value of CAR for death was 0.19 mg/g, with the sensitivity and specificity of 70.8% and 68.3%, respectively. Conclusions:Increasing CAR level is an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality in PD patients, and its correlation with mortality is higher than those of inflammatory parameters such as CRP, NLR and PLR.

Objective:To evaluate the role of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxidase-1 (HO-1) in reduction of renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs)-derived exosomes (hucMSCs-exo) in mice.Methods:The hucMSCs were cultured, and exosomes were extracted and identified by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis and Western blot. Thirty-six male SPF-grade C57BL/6 mice, weighing 20-25 g, were used. Thirty mice were selected and divided into 5 groups ( n=6 each) by a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), sham operation + Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 group (Sham + ML385 group), renal I/R group (I/R group), renal I/R + exosome group (I/R+ EXO group), and renal I/R + exosome + Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 group (I/R+ EXO+ ML385 group). A model of renal I/R injury was prepared by clamping the bilateral renal pedicles for 45 min followed by perfusion in anesthetized animals. ML385 30 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 45 min before preparing the model in Sham+ ML385 group and I/R+ EXO+ ML385 group, and hucMSCs-exo 100 μg was injected via the tail vein at 15 min before reperfusion in I/R+ EXO group and I/R+ EXO+ ML385 group. Serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) concentrations were detected at 24 h of reperfusion. The renal tissues were obtained for examination of the pathological changes and for determination of contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein and mRNA (by Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). The left 6 mice were allocated to sham operation group (Sham-IM group, n=3) and renal I/R group (I/R-IM group, n=3) by a random number table method for VISQUE in living imaging observation. Results:The exosomes showed a typical cup-shaped morphology with a transmission electron microscope, the nanoparticles tracked and analyzed the average diameter of the exosome, with an average diameter of 96.7 nm, and the positive expression of surface markers CD9, CD63 and TSG101 was detected using Western blot. The renal fluorescence intensity value was significantly increased in I/R-IM group as compared with Sham-IM group ( P<0.05). Compared with Sham group, the serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly increased, the contents of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA and ROS levels were increased, the activity of SOD was decreased, the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein and mRNA was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of renal tissues were aggravated in I/R group, and no significant change was found in serum BUN and Cr concentrations in Sham+ ML385 group ( P>0.05). Compared with I/R group, the serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly decreased, the contents of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA and ROS levels were decreased, the activity of SOD was increased, the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein and mRNA was up-regulated ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of renal tissues were significantly attenuated in I/R+ EXO group. Compared with I/R+ EXO group, the serum BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly increased, the contents of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA and ROS levels were increased, the activity of SOD was decreased, the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein and mRNA was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of renal tissues were aggravated in I/R+ EXO+ ML385 group. Conclusions:The mechanism by which hucMSCs-exo reduces renal I/R injury may be related to activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in mice.
