BACKGROUND: The anterior thoracolumbar internal fixation devices can be divided into two main categories: the stick system such as kaneda,and the plate system such as Z-plate. Both categories have satisfactory biomechanical properties, but the devices of these types are all imported and so expensive that they exceed the affordability of domestic patients:Based on various anterior throacolumbar internal fixation devices and the spinal characteristics of the Chinese people, the author designed a new brand of anterior thoracolumbar internal fixation device for Chinese people:New Ti-plate (NTP).OBJECTIVE: Biomechanical properties of three anterior thoracolumbar internal fixation devices were compared in an attempt to provide a scientific and theoretical basis for clinical applications.DESIGN: A sampling investigation.SETTING: The Department of Orthopaedics of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Department of Radiology of Nantong Hongqiao Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: This study was carried out at the Biomechanical Engineering Research Institute of Shanghai University between May and August 2003. Fifteen fresh spinal samples from the healthy adults (T12-S1) were used in this study.METHODS: Fifteen spinal (T12-S1) specimens were obtained from fresh bodies to induce injuries to anterior and middle columns, which were fixed with Dunn Ⅲ, NTP and Z-plate respectively to compare the strength, rigidity, and the stability of the spine.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of load-straining and loaddisplacement of the three groups of specimens under the conditions of axial decompression, anteflection, post-extention, and lateral flexion.RESULTS: Fifteen fresh adult spinal specimens were involved in this study and all entered the stage of result analysis. Under the maximal load of 500 N,the average straining for Z-plate, NTP and Dunn Ⅲ was 410 uε,430 uε, 477 uε respectively. The average longitude displacement for the above three devices was 2.23 mm, 2.38 mm and 2.85 mm respectively.The thoracolumbar fracture was fixed with three anterior internal fixation devices and it was proved that Z-plate and NTP fixations were better than fixation with Dunn Ⅲ in respect of spinal strength, rigidity and stability (P ＜ 0.05), but the difference between Z-plate and NTP had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: NTP and Z-plate devices are conformed to the spinal biomechanical principles and were capable of reconstructing spinal biomechanical stability effectively, and it is a preferable anterior spinal internal fixation device.

The success rates of ERCP assisted with colonoscope and balloon-assisted enterosocpe were 76.0% (19/25) and 75.0% (18/24), respectively. There were 3 adverse events, including 1 case of anastomotic mucosa tear during surgery, 1 case of cardiopulmonary arrest and 1 case of postoperative cholangitis.Conclusion:ERCP is effective and safe after pancreaticoduodenectomy in general. ERCP assisted with colonoscope and balloon-assisted colonoscope shows similar success rate after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective:To explore the risk factors and follow-up outcomes of pediatric heart transplantation(HT).Methods:Between January 2018 and June 2022, perioperative data are retrospectively reviewed for 41 pediatric HT recipients aged <18 years and donor-recipient weight data for infants aged under 3 years at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital.Perioperative survivors are followed up until August 31, 2022 through out patient visits and telephone calls.Postoperative survivals are examined by Kaplan-Meier method and possible risk factors for perioperative survival identify with Logistic regression.Results:There are 22 boys and 19 girls with a median age of 120(58~138)months.After preoperative adjuvant therapy of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO), 8 cases had a successful transition to HT and 2 children underwent ABO incompatible(ABOi)HT.Six children aged under 3 years had a donor-recipient weight ratio of 2.95.Among 17 children, there are one or more complications, including continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT, 9 cases, 21.95%), tracheotomy (3 cases, 7.32%), delayed chest closure or redo of sternotomy(6 cases, 14.63%)and acute graft dysfunction(4 cases, 9.76%). Five children died during perioperative period.The possible risk factors for perioperative mortality include preoperative ECMO assistance[ HR: 32.00, 95% CI: (2.83~361.79), P<0.05], preoperative CRRT[ HR: 11.33, 95% CI: (1.15~111.69), P<0.05] and total bilirubin [ HR: 1.02, 95% CI: (1.002~1.040), P<0.05]. During follow-ups, one child died from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease; another case of EBV-associated hepatic leiomyoma underwent transcatheter arterial embolization.With an overall survival rate of 85.37%, the cumulative survival rate is 96.97% for children without preoperative ECMO assistance( P<0.05). Postoperative mortality rate spiked markedly in children with preoperative ECMO assistance ( P=0.0013). However, follow-up results of perioperatively survivors indicate that preoperative usage of ECMO will not affect follow-up survival( P=0.53). In ABOi group or infants aged under 3 years, no mortality occurres postoperatively or during follow-ups. Conclusions:In infant aged under 3 years, the strategies of ABOi HT and large-weight donor HT are both safe and effective and it has no effect upon perioperative and follow-up survivals.Preoperative ECMO assistance, total bilirubin and preoperative use of CRRT are risk factors for perioperative survival.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of acute hypoxia on urine proteome in rats. In this study, rats were placed in a hypoxic chamber simulating a plateau environment at an altitude of 5 000 m for 24 hours. Urine samples were collected at 0, 12, and 24 h after hypoxia. Urinary proteins were profiled using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Compared with the control (before hypoxia), a total of 144 differentially expressed proteins were identified in the hypoxia 12 h group, and 129 differentially expressed proteins were identified in the hypoxia 24 h group. Functional annotation analysis revealed that these differentially expressed proteins were involved in a series of biological pathways related to hypoxic stress, such as anti-oxidative stress, glycolysis, complement and coagulation cascade. Our results suggest that the urinary proteome can reflect significant changes upon acute hypoxic stimulation. These findings may provide an approach to judge the hypoxia state of the body and help to assist the detection of hypoxia state.

Objective:To explore the effects of Zishui Qinggan Decoction on the PTEN-induced putative kinase protein 1 (PINK1)/Parkin and cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAS)/ stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathways; To reveal the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Zishui Qinggan Decoction in treating depression.Methods:Totally 60 rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, and Zishui Qinggan Decoction low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups using a random number table method ( n=12 in each group) . All rats except for the rats in control group were prepared with CUMS induced depression models. The rats in the Zishui Qinggan Decoction low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups were orally administered with 12, 24, and 48 g/kg of Zishui Qinggan Decoction for gavage, respectively. The control group and model group were orally administered with distilled water of equal volume for gavage, once a day for 4 weeks. Forced swimming test (FST), the open field test (OFT) and the sucrose preference test (SPT) were used to detect behavioral changes in rats in each group. Hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the cell structure of the medial prefrontal cortex. The levels of IL-1 β, IL-6, TNF-α and Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were detected using ELISA. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of Pink1, Parkin, cGAS and STING. Results:Behavioral testing results showed that, compared with the model group, the incubation period for rats in Zishui Qinggan Decoction low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups to enter the first immobility state in FST was significantly prolonged ( P<0.05), and the immobility time was significantly shortened ( P<0.05); the time spent in the central area was significantly increased ( P<0.05), and the incubation period for entering the central area was significantly shortened in ( P<0.05); the percentage of sugar water consumption significantly increased in ( P<0.05). HE staining revealed that the aggregation of prefrontal cortex nuclei decreased, the number of neurons increased, and the distribution of neurons was uniform in Zishui Qinggan Decoction low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups. Compared with the model group, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ in the Zishui Qinggan Decoction groups significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The protein expressions of PINK1 and Parkin in the prefrontal cortex in Zishui Qinggan Decoction groups significantly increased ( P<0.05), while the protein expression levels of cGAS and STING significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Zishui Qinggan Decoction can significantly improve the depressive behavior, neuronal damage, and neuroinflammatory response in CUMS rats. Its mechanism may be related to up-regulating the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway and inhibiting the cGAS/STING signaling pathway.
