Objective: To preliminarily investigate the effect of intraoperative goal-directed fluid management (GDFM) on pulmonary function and oxygen dynamics in patients with severe burns. Methods: From February 2017 to May 2018, 30 patients admitted to Burn Department of our hospital with severe burns who met the criteria for inclusion and needed escharectomy and skin grafting were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled trial. The patients were divided into group GDFM of 15 cases [14 males and 1 female, (45±14) years old] and conventional liquid management group of 15 cases [12 males and 3 females, (42±10) years old] according to the random number table. During escharectomy and skin grafting, volume of patients in group GDFM was managed according to the GDFM scheme, based on cardiac output index, stroke volume variation, stroke volume index, hemoglobin, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO₂), and other parameters; volume of patients in conventional liquid management group was managed according to clinical experience and conventional liquid management scheme, based on mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, urine output, hemoglobin, and other parameters. At post operation hour (POH) 1, 6, 12, and 24, arterial and venous blood was collected from patients of the two groups to determine the levels of extravascular lung water index (ELWI), global end-diastolic volume index (GEDI), oxygenation index, ScvO₂, central venous-to-arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (Pcv-aCO₂), lactic acid, pH value, bicarbonate ion, and base excess routinely. Data were processed with Fisher′s exact probability test, t test, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, and least significant difference test. Results: (1) The ELWI of patients in group GDFM was (4.3±1.1) mL/kg at POH 1, which was significantly lower than (6.5±3.6) mL/kg in conventional liquid management group (t=2.26, P<0.05). The ELWI levels of patients in group GDFM at POH 6, 12, and 24 were (6.8±2.2), (6.6±2.0), and (6.9±1.6) mL/kg, respectively, significantly higher than the level at POH 1 within the same group (P<0.01), and similar to (8.5±3.1), (7.8±2.3), and (8.0±3.5) mL/kg in conventional liquid management group (t=1.73, 1.53, 1.10, P>0.05). The GEDI levels between patients of the two groups were similar, and there was no significantly statistical difference between the two groups as a whole (treatment factor main effect F=2.35, time factor main effect F=0.44, interaction F=0.07, P>0.05). (2) The oxygenation index of patients in group GDFM was (350±78) mL/kg at POH 1, which was significantly higher than (259±109) mL/kg in conventional liquid management group (t=2.63, P<0.05). In conventional liquid management group, the oxygenation index of patients at POH 6 was significantly higher than that at POH 1, 12, or 24 (P<0.01). The ScvO₂ levels of patients in group GDFM at POH 1, 6, and 12 were 0.516±0.105, 0.679±0.121, and 0.713±0.104, respectively, which were significantly higher than 0.382±0.194, 0.545±0.194, and 0.595±0.191 in conventional liquid management group (t=2.35, 2.27, 2.10, P<0.05). The ScvO₂ levels of patients in the two groups at POH 6, 12, and 24 were significantly higher than those levels at POH 1 within the same group (P<0.01), and the ScvO₂ of patients in conventional liquid management group at POH 24 was significantly higher than that at POH 6 or 12 within the same group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The Pcv-aCO₂ levels of patients in group GDFM were significantly lower than those in conventional liquid management group at POH 1 and 6 (t=2.55, 2.71, P<0.05). The Pcv-aCO₂ of patients in group GDFM at POH 12 was significantly lower than that at POH 6 or 24 within the same group (P<0.05). (3) The blood lactic acid levels and pH values between patients of the two groups were similar at POH 1, 6, 12, and 24 (t=0.89, 0.19, 0.26, 0.23; 1.55, 0.71, 0.77, 0.77, P>0.05). In conventional liquid management group, the blood lactic acid levels of patients at POH 6, 12, and 24 were significantly lower than the level at POH 1 within the same group (P<0.05), and the pH values of patients at POH 6, 12, and 24 were significantly higher than the value at POH 1 within the same group (P<0.05). The levels of bicarbonate ion and base excess between patients of the two groups were similar, and there were no significantly statistical differences between the two groups as a whole (treatment factor main effect F=0.06, 0.11, time factor main effect F=2.07, 1.59, interaction F=1.45, 0.91, P>0.05). Conclusions GDFM is helpful to improve the pulmonary function and oxygen dynamics in patients with severe burns in the short term after escharectomy and skin grafting. It has certain significance in preventing and reducing pulmonary edema and pulmonary complications in patients with severe burn after operation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of edaravone, a free radical scavenger, on the regulation of retinal autophagy and the protection of photoreceptor cells at the early stage of experimental retinal detachment (RD) in rats.Methods:Fifty-one adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were used for RD model establishment, and another 24 rats were served as PBS injection group.The RD model was established via subretinal injection of 0.5% sodium hyaluronate into the right eye of the rats and the rats with successful modeling were randomly divided into RD model group and edaravone treatment group.The rats in the edaravone treatment group were given edaravone of 3 mg/kg intraperitoneally, twice a day after modeling, and the rats in the PBS injection group and RD model group were given equal volume of normal saline.Rats were sacrificed on the 1st day, 3rd day and 7th day following modeling.The T-superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the intraocular fluid was detected.The expression levels of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), autophagy related gene 4 (Atg4), microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B) and other proteins in retinal tissue were identified by Western blot analysis.TUNEL staining was performed on paraffin sections of the whole eyeball to analyze the apoptosis of photoreceptor cells.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Xi'an Fourth Hospital (No. 2016016). The use and care of animals complied with the Regulations on the Administration of Experimental Animals.Results:The RD area was more than 60% in rat eyes of RD model.There were significant differences in MDA content and T-SOD activity among different groups at various time points (MDA: Fgroup=385.513, P<0.01; Ftime=13.021, P<0.01.T-SOD: Fgroup=48.865, P<0.01; Ftime=7.700, P=0.003). Compared with the PBS injection group, the MDA concentration was significantly increased and the T-SOD activity was significantly decreased in the RD group and edaravone treatment group on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after modeling (all at P<0.05). The MDA concentration was significantly reduced and the T-SOD activity was significantly elevated in the edaravone treatment group on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after modeling in comparison with those of the RD group (all at P<0.05). Compared with the PBS injection group, the relative expression levels of SOD2 and Nrf2 proteins were significantly increased in the RD group and edaravone treatment group on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after modeling (all at P<0.05), and Atg4 and LC3B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ were significantly increased on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after modeling (all at P<0.05). The expression level of SOD2 in the edaravone treatment group was significantly higher than that in the RD group on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after modeling (all at P<0.05), and the expression level of Nrf2 was significantly increased in the edaravone treatment group on the 1st and 3rd day after modeling compared with that of the RD group (both at P<0.05), and the expression levels of Atg4 and LC3B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ were significantly increased in the edaravone treatment group on the 3rd day after modeling in comparison with those of the RD group (both at P<0.05). No significant TUNEL positive cells were observed in PBS injection group at all time points, and TUNEL positive cells were observed on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after modeling in the RD group, and the expression level of caspase-3 in the RD group was significantly increased in comparison with that of the PBS injection group ( P<0.05). The apoptosis of photoreceptor cells and the expression level of caspase-3 in edaravone treatment group were significantly decreased in comparison with those of the RD group on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after modeling (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:The intraperitoneal injection of edaravone, twice a day, can significantly improve the antioxidant capacity of the retina after experimental RD in rats, regulate retinal autophagy and reduce the apoptosis of photoreceptor cells in early-stage RD.

Objective:To investigate the consistency of myocardial extracellular volume between systole and diastole using dual-layer detector spectral CT.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. Thirty-five patients who underwent cardiac spectral CT examination in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April 2022 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected. Hematocrit was collected within 3 days before the CT scan. The delayed phases holographic spectral images in systole (45%) and diastole (75%) were obtained using dual-layer spectral CT. CT data were processed using a spectral post-processing workstation, and the extracellular volume (ECV) based on iodine density images, referred as CT-ECV, in systolic and diastolic phases were calculated, respectively. According to the American Heart Association′s 16-segment model of left ventricular, the standard short-axis images were constructed, and the myocardium was standardized into 16 segments at the basal, mid-cavity, and apical levels of the left ventricle. Two radiologists performed a subjective evaluation in the image quality of the CT-ECV images of the whole heart and the three sections in systole and diastole using a "five-point" scale. The ECV of the 16 segments and the whole heart in systole and diastole was calculated. The consistency of subjective evaluations between systole and diastole was assessed using Kappa statistics. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to compare the differences in scores between systole and diastole. Paired sample t-test was used to compare the differences in CT-ECV scores between systole and diastole. The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to test the intra-and inter-observer consistency of CT-ECV measurements between two radiologists. P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results:There was good agreement between the two radiologists on subjective scores of CT-ECV image quality between systole and diastole ( Kappa>0.80), and there was no statistical difference in image quality among the basal, mid-cavity, and apical levels of the left ventricle and whole heart between systole and diastole ( P>0.05). The systolic and diastolic CT-ECV for the entire heart obtained through the delay phase were (33.29±3.46)% and (33.50±3.39)%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t=-0.78, P=0.442). CT-ECV in systole and diastole were (34.15±3.94)% and (35.30±3.99)% for segment 8, (34.03±3.76)% and (35.46±3.74)% for segment 9, and (33.98±3.32)% and (35.05±3.98)% for segment 14, respectively. The mean values of the systolic CT-ECV of segments 8, 9 and 14 were significantly lower than those of diastolic CT-ECV ( t=-2.65, -3.26, -2.42, P=0.012, 0.003, 0.022, respectively). The ICCs for CT-ECV measurements of 16 segments by the two radiologists were greater than 0.90 in both systolic and diastolic, indicating good agreement. Conclusions:There is no significant difference in whole heart CT-ECV values between systolic and diastolic myocardial ECV based on dual-layer spectral CT. However, minor differences (less than 2%) are found between systolic and diastolic myocardial CT-ECV for some segments. Myocardial CT-ECV measurement should be performed on the same segment during the same phase to obtain stable and accurate ECV values.

Aging, a process of functional decline with the increase of chronological age, is a major risk factor for chronic diseases. Aging shows significant individual differences, which is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Accurate measurement of physiological age helps identify individuals with accelerated aging and those at high risk for chronic diseases and mortality, which would promote individual health management and precision medicine for healthy aging. In this paper, we summarize the omics-based aging clocks and discuss their current and future applications.
