[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the role of hydrogen sulfide ( H2 S) on impaired wound healing in ob/ob mice and the underlying mechanism.METHODS:The ob/ob mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, including vehicle, in-sulin and NaHS for treatment.C57BL/6 mice were treated with vehicle as control.Full-thickness punch biopsy wounds were created on the mice.Firstly, H2 S concentrations in the skins and granulation tissues were measured.The mRNA ex-pression of cystathionineγ-lyase ( CSE) was detected by RT-qPCR.The protein expression of CSE and MMP-9 were deter-mined by Western blot.The neutrophil and monocyte/macrophage infiltration was analyzed by immunohistochemistry me-thod.The levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-αand interleukin (IL)-6 were measured by ELISA.Collagen formation was measured by Masson staining.RESULTS:The H2 S levels in the skin and granulation were significantly decreased in ob/ob mice and increased in the NaHS-treated mice ( P<0.05 ) .CSE expression at mRNA and protein levels was significantly decreased in ob/ob mice compared with the control mice (P<0.05).The wound healing period was significantly shorter in NaHS group than that in vehicle-treated ob/ob mice group (P<0.05), in which the insulin group had no difference with vehicle ob/ob mice group.The neutrophil and monocyte/macrophage infiltration, and TNF-αand IL-6 levels were signifi-cantly increased in ob/ob groups, but were decreased in NaHS group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05 ) .Meanwhile, NaHS in-creased collagen formation in the granulation tissues of ob/ob mice.CONCLUSION:H2 S/CSE down-regulation contributes
to impaired wound healing in diabetes, which is alleviated by exogenous H2 S possibly through anti-inflammation.

Objective To explore the effects of diagnostic delay on early disease course of Crohn's disease (CD ), and to analyze the risk factors related with the progress of early disease course. Methods From December 2014 to July 2017,a total of 56 patients in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University initially diagnosed as CD were selected.The clinical manifestation,previous history,imaging examination, endoscopic examination and pathological results of the patients were collected after initial diagnosis of CD. CD-related surgery,CD-related rehospitalization and use of immunomodulators were followed.According to time interval between initial symptom onset and initial diagnosis,the patients were divided into diagnostic delay group (diagnostic delay time＞two years,14 cases)and non-diagnostic delay group (diagnostic delay time≤two years,42 cases).The clinical characteristics at initial diagnosis and early prognosis were compared between the two groups.The risk factors affecting early prognosis of CD patients were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier was used for prognosis analysis.Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model were performed to analyze factors affecting early prognosis.Results The results of imaging examination indicated that the proportion of intestinal injury of diagnostic delay group was significantly higher than that of non- diagnostic delay group (χ2＝ 4.49,P ＝ 0.03 ).During follow-up,the proportion of CD-related rehospitalization of diagnostic delay group was higher than that of non-diagnostic delay group,and the difference was statistically significant (χ2＝7.34,P＝0.01).During follow-up,the nine patients received surgery.The one-year and three-year cumulative incidence of surgery was 10.7% and 22.7%,respectively;one-year cumulative incidence of surgery in diagnostic delay group and non-diagnostic delay group was 38 .6%and 9 .6%,respectively.The results of Cox univariable and multivariable analyses both indicated that intestinal injury in imaging examination at diagnosis was the risk factor of surgery (both hazard ratio (HR)＝2.313,both P＜0.01).A total of 21 patients had CD-related rehospitalization during follow-up.And one-year and 31-month cumulative incidence of hospitalization was 27 .8% and 5 6 .3%,respectively;one-year cumulative incidence of CD-related rehospitalization in diagnostic delay group and non-diagnostic delay group was 43 .7% and 2 1 .6%,respectively;and the difference was statistically significant (χ2＝5 .88 ,P＝0.02).The results of Cox univariable analysis indicated that having systematic manifestation,intestinal inj ury in imaging examination and diagnostic delay were the risk factors of CD-related rehospitalization (HR＝2.972,2.313 and 1.403,all P＜0.05).The results of multivariable analysis indicated that having systematic manifestation and intestinal injury in imaging examination were independent risk factors of CD-related rehospitalization (HR＝3.891 and 2.541, P ＜ 0.01,respectively).Conclusions The proportion of intestinal injury of patients with diagnostic delay is high and the early prognosis is poor. Intestinal injury in imaging examination at initial diagnosis is independently risk factor of CD-related surgery and rehospitalization during follow-up.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of asymptomatic carriers with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), and to provide clinical guidance for the management of asymptomatic infection with 2019-nCoV.Methods:The clinical data of 663 patients with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 11 to February 6, 2020 were collected. Patients were divided into asymptomatic group (21 cases) and symptomatic group (642 cases) according to the diagnostic criteria. General conditions, clinical classification, death, chest computed tomograph (CT) and laboratory results of patients were retrospectively collected. Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test and Fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis. Results:All 663 patients were positive for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid tests. The age of patients in the asymptomatic group were significantly younger than those in symptomatic group (35.0 (31.5, 58.0) years old vs 58.5 (45.0, 69.0) years old, U=4 234.500, P=0.002). The proportion of patients <30 years old in the two groups was significantly different (19.0%(4/21) vs 6.1%(39/642), Fisher exact test, P=0.047). There were 15 women (71.4%) in the asymptomatic group and 327 women (50.9%) in the symptomatic group, while the difference of gender distributions was not statistically significant ( χ2=3.420, P=0.064). In addition, among patients with asymptomatic infection, the proportions of mild/ordinary, severe and critical patients were 10 cases (47.6%), 10 cases (47.6%), and one case (4.8%), respectively, which were not significantly different from those in symptomatic group (244 cases (38.0%), 305 cases (47.5%) and 93 cases (14.5%), respectively, χ2=1.847, P=0.397). As of February 9, one(4.8%) mild/ordinary patient in the asymptomatic group died who had malignant tumor. Twenty-four (3.7%) patients in the symptomatic group died including two mild/ordinary and 22 critical patients. There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups(Fisher exact test, P=0.560). CT examination was performed on 594 patients, and 591 cases (99.5%) showed unilateral or bilateral pneumonia, and three cases (0.5%) showed normal. Conclusions:Patients with asymptomatic infection with 2019-nCoV are younger than symptomatic patients, and there are more patients under 30 years old in the asymptomatic group. The absence of clinical symptoms is not significantly associated with clinical classifications and mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) accompanied with diarrhea.Methods:From January 11 to February 6 in 2020, the clinical data of 663 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were collected and divided into diarrhea group and non-diarrhea group according to whether they had diarrhea or not. The differences in baseline characteristics, basic disease history, clinical manifestations, chest computed tomography (CT), laboratory findings, disease severity and mortality between the two groups were compared. Chi-square test and Fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis.Results:Among 663 COVID-19 patients, 70 (10.6%) patients accompanied with diarrhea. The proportion of fatigue and increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels of diarrhea group were higher than those of non-diarrhea group (58.6%, 41/70 vs. 28.2%, 167/593; and 64.2%, 43/67 vs. 50.4%, 277/550), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=26.891 and 4.566, both P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of pneumonia in chest CT between diarrhea group and non-diarrhea group (100.0%, 62/62 vs. 99.4%, 529/532) ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the proportions of mild and normal type, severe type and critical type between diarrhea group and non-diarrhea group (35.7%, 25/70 vs. 38.6%, 229/593; 50.0%, 35/70 vs. 47.2%, 280/593; and 14.3%, 10/70 vs. 14.2%, 84/593, respectively) (all P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the mortality of mild and normal type, severe type and critical type between diarrhea group and non-diarrhea group (0 vs. 0.5%, 3/593; 0 vs. 0 and 1.4%, 1/70 vs. 3.5%, 21/593) (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Patients with COVID-19 accompanied with diarrhea are more likely to have fatigue and increased LDH level. Diarrhea is not significantly correlated with the disease severity of patients with COVID-19.

Objective To investigate the pharmacological effects of"Yajieshaba"on mice with alcohol-induced liver injury and to investigate the mechanism of the impact of"Yajieshaba"on the regulation of intestinal flora by 16S rDNA technology.Methods Healthy male KM mice were randomly divided into control,model,"Yajieshaba"low,medium,and high dose(0.39,1.17 and 3.51 g·kg-1)groups and Bifendatatum(2.93 mg·kg-1)groups,with eight mice in each group.After one week of pre-administration of"Yajieshaba",a mouse model of acute alcoholic liver injury was established by a single instillation of 56%alcohol,and the levels of AST and ALT in the serum of mice were measured,and the morphological changes of liver histology were observed by HE staining;secondly,faecal DNA was extracted from each group under aseptic operation,and 16S rDNA sequencing and differential analysis by alpha diversity and species composition at the phylum and genus levels were performed.Results The results showed that the biochemical indexes of liver function(ALT and AST)were significantly improved by"Yajieshaba",and the degree of liver damage was significantly reduced by HE staining.At the phylum level,it significantly decreased the abundance of Aspergillus and increased the quantity of Bacteroides;at the genus level,it significantly up-regulated the plenty of Bacteroides and Prevotella and downregulated a lot of Prevotella and Helicobacter.At the genus level,"Yajieshaba"significantly up-regulated the abundance of Bacillus spp.and Prevotella spp.and down-regulated the abundance of Prevotella spp.and Helicobacter spp.Conclusion"Yajieshaba"may play an anti-acute alcoholic liver injury effect by regulating the intestinal flora and metabolites.

Objective:To screen and identify differentially expressed long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) in peripheral blood of children with sepsis, and to explore the role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of sepsis in children.Methods:The peripheral blood samples of 3 children with sepsis admitted to the ICU of Children′s Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January to December 2016 and 3 healthy children who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were selected, and the differential expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs were screened by lncRNAs sequencing technology.The target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs were predicted and the relationship pairs of lncRNA-mRNA related to F 1F O-ATPase activity were constructed according to the results of GO analysis.Further increasing the sample size, we verified the expression of some F 1F O-ATPase activity-related mRNAs and lncRNAs which were differentially expressed in the screening results by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR). Results:Sequencing results showed that there were 252 lncRNAs with significant differential expression in peripheral blood of children with sepsis compared with healthy children, of which 86 were up-regulated and 166 were down-regulated; meanwhile, there were 2 652 mRNAs with significant differential expression, of which 955 were up-regulated and 1 697 were down-regulated.The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression of lncRNA ENST00000621933.1, ENST00000616950.1 and ENST00000595748.1 in peripheral blood of children with sepsis increased( P<0.05), while the expression of MT-ATP8, ATP5E and ENST00000624705.1, ENST00000615535.1 in peripheral blood of children with sepsis decreased( P<0.05), which was consistent with the sequencing results. Conclusion:lncRNAs are differentially expressed in peripheral blood of children with sepsis compared with healthy children.The expression levels of lncRNA ENST00000621933.1, ENST00000616950.1, ENST00000595748.1, ENST00000624705.1 and ENST00000615535.1 which their target genes are MT-ATP8 and ATP5E may be related to the development of sepsis in children.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) in the perioperative period of congenital choledochal cysts in children.Methods:This is a multicenter prospective randomized controlled study. The clinical data of 273 pediatric congenital choledochal cysts(CCC) patients who underwent surgery at 14 medical centers with complete follow-up data were collected through the medical data analysis platform. Among them, 123 cases in ERAS group were managed perioperatively in strict accordance with ERAS mode, and 150 cases in conventional group were managed according to traditional mode. The length of hospital stay,time to first farting, time to complete feeding, the incidence of complications, cost and readmission rate within 30 days,stress indexes and liver function were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with the conventional group, median time to start farting (2.0 d vs. 3.0 d, P<0.001), median time to complete feeding (5.0 d vs. 7.0 d, P<0.001), median postoperative hospitalization time (6.0 d vs. 9.0 d, P<0.001),the median total length of stay(13.0 d vs. 15.0 d, P<0.001) were shorter,the median hospitalization cost (37,000 yuan vs.43,000 yuan P<0.001) was lower, and stress indexes recovered quickly. The incidence of postoperative hospital stay and readimission rate within 30 d were not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to implement ERAS for children with CCC in the perioperative period, which can reduce stress response, speed up recovery,and save medical costs.

ObjectiveTo investigate the social support status and influencing factors of schizophrenics in remission in Northeast Sichuan， and to provide ideas for improving their social support. MethodsFrom May to September 2020， a total of 533 patients who met the diagnosis criteria of the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） for schizophrenics in remission at the mental health institutions in Guangyuan， Bazhong and Dazhou cities were selected for the survey， and patients were assessed by self-made demographic and clinical data inventory and Social Support Rating Scale （SSRS）. Then the social support status of schizophrenic in remission and influencing factors were analyzed， meantime， the impact of the second round reimbursement policy of medical insurance benefits on their social support was addressed particularly. Results①The SSRS total score， objective support， subjective support， and utilization of support scores of schizophrenics in remission were lower than those of the national norm （t=5.065~30.382， P<0.01）. ②Univariate analysis showed that SSRS score was relatively high among patients with female gender （t=-3.632）， retired status （F=5.951）， married status （F=5.951）， spouse as primary caregiver （F=23.841）， annual household income >5 000 yuan （F=15.892）， patient's economic income （t=4.083）， and outpatient or online follow-up （F=3.954）， with statistically significant differences （P<0.05 or 0.01）. ③The total and dimensional scores of SSRS in patients with access to the second round medical insurance reimbursement were significantly higher than those without （t=10.195~25.103， P<0.01）. ④Multiple linear regression analysis denoted that gender， work status， marital status， primary caregivers， annual family income， economic income， follow-up visits and the second round medical insurance reimbursement were the factors influencing social support status of schizophrenics in remission （β=0.201~2.115， P<0.05 or 0.01）. ConclusionThe social support of schizophrenics in remission in Northeast Sichuan is below the national average， furthermore， their social support levels are affected by the gender， work status， marital status， primary caregivers， annual family income， economic income， follow-up visits and the second round medical insurance reimbursement， and the second round medical insurance reimbursement may ameliorate the social support status of patients.
