Objective: Data on syncopal donation-related vasovagal reaction (DRVR) collected from 74 blood centers between 2020 and 2023 was statistically analyzed to provide a reference for developing preventive strategies against syncopal DRVR. Methods: Data on blood donation adverse reactions and basic information of donors from 2020 to 2023 were collected through the information management system at monitoring sentinel sites. Statistical analysis was performed on the following aspects of syncopal DRVR: characteristics of donors who experienced syncope, reported incidence, triggers, duration, presence and occurrence time of syncope-related trauma, clinical management including outpatient and inpatient treatment, and severity grading. Results: From 2020 to 2023, 45 966 donation-related adverse reactions were recorded. Of these, 1 665 (3.72%) cases were syncopal DRVR. The incidence of syncopal DRVR decreased with age, being the highest in the 18-22 age group. Incidence was significantly higher in female donors than male donors, in first-time donors than repeat donors, and in university and individual donors than group donors (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among different blood donation locations (P>0.05). The top three triggers were tension, fatigue, and needle phobia or fear of blood. Among syncopal DRVR cases, 60.36% occurred during blood collection, 87.63% lasted for less than 60 seconds, and 5.05% were accompanied by trauma. Notably, 57.14% of these traumas occurred after donor had left the blood collection site. Syncope severity was graded based on required treatment: grade 1 (fully recovered without treatment, 95.50%); grade 2 (recovered after outpatient treatment, 4.02%); and grade 3 (recovered after inpatient treatment, 0.48%). Conclusion: By analyzing the data of syncopal DRVR cases, it is possible to provide a reference for formulating blood donor safety policies.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of vision loss in diabetic patients, its pathogenesis is complicated, and the clinical treatment is not good. DME is extremely harmful to vision. With the deepening of relevant studies, its related pathological mechanism has become more and more clear, and the treatment methods have also changed accordingly. In recent years, the rapid development of intracocular fluid cytokine detection technology has provided a more reasonable explanation of the mechanism of DME and made the choice of treatment more reasonable. However, the acquisition of intraocular fluid is an invasive operation with a certain risk of infection. If the level of relevant cytokines in intraocular fluid can be linked with the relevant imaging indicators, it will provide a better choice for the treatment and prognosis monitoring of DME and reduce the risk of invasive operation, and further clinical studies are needed to explore its correlation in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of remote follow-up based on knee scoring system after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 71 patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent TKA from July 2021 to September 2022 at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 12 patients included in the study, including 6 males and 6 females, aged 72.83±4.22 years (range, 68-78 years), who were followed up using an online approach (remote follow-up group). According to the sample size of 1:2, patients who received outpatient follow-up during the same period were selected as controls (outpatient follow-up group), including 12 males and 12 females, aged 72.16±4.50 years (range, 65-80 years). Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), and 2011 New Knee Society Score (KSS) were used to assess outcomes after TKA.Results:The follow-up completion rate in the remote follow-up group was 17% (12/71). There were statistically significant differences in WOMAC scores between the two groups before and after operation ( F=106.18, P<0.001; F=34.33, P<0.001). The WOMAC score of remote follow-up group at the last follow-up was 11.21±5.64, which was lower than 43.83±8.52 before operation and 33.96±9.19 at 2-4 weeks after operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001, P<0.001). The WOMAC scores of the outpatient follow-up group at the last follow-up was 13.33±5.36, which was lower than 42.00±7.21 before operation and 32.83±11.00 at 2-4 weeks after operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in OKS between the two groups before and after operation ( F=168.65, P<0.001; F=66.18, P<0.001). The OKS of remote follow-up group at the last follow-up was 15.13±4.92, which was lower than 44.50±5.84 before operation and 36.83±6.31 at 2-4 weeks after operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P< 0.001, P<0.001). The OKS of the outpatient follow-up group at the last follow-up was 16.58±3.63, which was lower than 41.42±5.05 before operation and 33.33±6.60 at 2-4 weeks after operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the 2011 new KSS between the two groups before and after operation ( F=164.21, P<0.001; F=51.78, P<0.001). The 2011 new KSS of remote follow-up group at the last follow-up was 83.67±6.27, which was higher than 41.33±10.33 before operation and 50.42±11.07 at 2-4 weeks after operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001, P<0.001). The 2011 new KSS of the outpatient follow-up group at the last follow-up was 83.17±6.28, which was higher than 40.08±8.91 before operation and 44.37±9.04 at 2-4 weeks after operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the three scores between the two groups before operation, 2-4 weeks, 6 weeks, 2-3 months or 4 months after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The effect of remote follow-up based on knee scoring scale after TKA is similar to that of outpatient follow-up, but the rate of loss to follow-up in both groups is high. The scoring scale should be continuously optimized to improve patient compliance.

OBJECTIVES: Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) prosthetic vessel replacement is one of the most complex operations in the field of cardiovascular surgery. The key to success of this operation is to prevent and avoid ischemia of important organs while repairing TAAA. This study aims to summarize and analyze the effect of prosthetic vessel replacement under left heart bypass in the treatment of TAAA. METHODS: Data of 15 patients with TAAA who underwent prosthetic vessel replacement under left heart bypass in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were retrospectively analyzed. According to Crawford classification, there were 2 cases of type I, 8 cases of type II, 3 cases of type III, and 2 cases of type V. There were 14 cases of selective operation and 1 case of emergency operation. All operations were performed under left heart bypass, and cerebrospinal fluid drainage was performed before operation. Left heart bypass was established by intubation of left inferior pulmonary vein and distal abdominal aorta or left femoral artery. The thoracoabdominal aorta was replaced segment by segment. After aortic dissection, the kidneys were perfused with cold crystalloid renal protective solution, and the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery were perfused with warm blood. RESULTS: One patient with TAAA after aortic dissection of type A died. During the operation, straight blood vessels were used to repair TAAA, and the celiac artery branches were trimmed into island shape and anastomosed with prosthetic vessels. After the operation, massive bleeding occurred at the anastomotic stoma, then anaphylactic reaction occurred during massive blood transfusion, resulting in death. One patient suffered from paraplegia due to ischemic injury of spinal cord. The other patients recovered well and were discharged. The postoperative ventilation time was (16.5±13.8) h and the postoperative hospital stay was (10±4) d. The amount of red blood cell transfusion was (13±9) U. The patients were followed up for 2 months to 2 years, and the recovery was satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS The effect of prosthetic vessel replacement under left heart bypass in the treatment of TAAA is good, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To explore the regulation effects of baicalin on the behavior as well as extracellular regulated protein kinase(ERK)and cAMP-response element binding protein(CREB) in chronic unpredictable mild stimulus(CUMS) model mice.Methods:Thirty ICR mice were randomly assigned to control(CON) group, model(CUMS) group, fluoxetine(FLU) group, baicalin high-dose(BA-H) group and baicalin low-dose(BA-L) group with 6 mice in each group.In addition to the CON group, the mice in the other four groups were modeled by CUMS method.The modeling was carried out for 42 days, and intragastric administration was carried out according to groups from the 21st day to the completion of modeling.After administration, the depression like behavior of mice was measured by sugar water preference test and water maze test.Western blot (WB) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to detect the protein level and mRNA level of ERK and CREB in mouse hippocampus respectively.SPSS 21.0 was used for statistical analysis.After normal test and variance homogeneity test, one-way ANOVA was used for multi group comparison, and Tukey test was used for pairwise comparison.Results:Results from the sugar preference experiment showed that compared with CON group, the sugar preference rate of CUMS group was decreased ((82.88±2.00)%, (64.49±1.24)%, t=19.11, P<0.05). Compared with CUMS group, sugar preference rate in FLU group ((81.90±1.19) %), BA-H group (77.86±2.51)%) and BA-L group ((67.98±2.56)%) increased ( t=24.83, 11.68, 3.00, all P<0.05). The results of water maze test showed that compared with CON group, the number of crossing platform ((6.33±0.82), (1.83±0.75), t=9.93, P<0.05) and the target quadrant residence time ((46.83±4.78)s, (24.25±6.12)s, t=7.13, P<0.05) of mice in CUMS group were decreased, but the the escape latency was prolonged ((14.88±3.00) s, (70.70±4.77) s, t=24.26, P<0.05). Compared with CUMS group, the number of crossing platform ((5.00±0.89)times, (5.17±0.75)times and (3.33±0.82) times, t=6.64, 7.67, 3.31, all P<0.05), and the residence time in the target quadrant ((36.80±2.66) s, (36.82±5.62) s, (33.28±3.56) s, t=4.61, 3.71, 3.13, all P<0.05) in FLU group, BA-H group and BA-L group increased, but the escape latencies were shortened ((23.37±4.86) s, (34.83±4.72) s, (62.15±5.30) s, t=17.02, 13.10, 2.94, all P<0.05). WB results showed that compared with CON group, the expression of ERK protein ((1.00±0.15), (0.36±0.10), t= 6.26, P<0.05) and CREB protein((1.00±0.12), (0.29±0.03), t=10.32, P<0.05) in hippocampus of mice in CUMS group decreased.Compared with CUMS group, ERK protein in hippocampus of mice in FLU, BA-H and BA-L groups increased ((0.87±0.05), (0.77±0.08), (0.67±0.03), t=8.25, 5.7, 5.39, all P<0.05), and CREB protein in FLU, BA-H and BA-L groups were also increased ((0.90±0.12), (0.84±0.14), (0.62±0.04), t=8.94, 6.59, 12.25, all P<0.05). qPCR results showed that compared with CON group, ERK mRNA ((1.00±0.03), (0.41±0.10), t=9.78, P<0.05) and CREB mRNA ((1.00±0.08), (0.61±0.12), t=4.62, P<0.05) were decreased in CUMS group.Compared with CUMS group, ERK mRNA in hippocampus of mice in FLU, BA-H and BA-L groups were increased ((0.71±0.08), (0.69±0.03), (0.59±0.04), t=4.15, 4.65, 2.84, all P<0.05), CREB mRNA in FLU group and BA-H group were increased ((0.87±0.08), (0.86±0.07), t=3.14, 3.19, all P<0.05). Conclusion:BA can improve the depression-like behavior of CUMS model mice.The mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of ERK and CREB proteins.

postoperative survival and 38 had tumor recurrence or metastasis.(3) Risk factors analysis of perioperative complications.① Results of univariate analysis showed that age,body mass index (BMI),preoperative hemoglobin,preoperative serum albumin and XAPD were related factors affecting perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (x2 =10.289,7.427,5.269,5.481,4.285,P＜ 0.05).② Results of multivariate analysis showed that age,BMI,preoperative serum albumin were independent related factors affecting perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (odds ratio =1.033,1.118,0.937,95％ interval confidence:1.011-1.057,1.025-1.219,0.887-0.990,P＜0.05).(4) Influence of body shape related indexes on intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery.① Results of Pearson univariate correlation analysis showed correlations between UAPD,XAPD,CAD,CATD and volume of intraoperative blood loss (r=0.107,0.169,0.179,0.106,P＜0.05),between UAPD,XAPD,CAD and the number of lymph nodes dissected (r=-0.137,-0.143,-0.173,P＜0.05),between USCF,XAPD and time to postoperative anal exsufflation (r =0.122,0.109,P＜0.05),between USCF,XAPD,CAD and time for initial fluid diet intake (r=0.132,0.108,0.132,P＜0.05),between USCF,XAPD and duration of postoperative hospital stay (r=0.116,0.100,P＜0.05).② Results of liner regression model analysis showed a positive correlation between CAD and volume of intraoperative blood loss (r =6.776),a negative correlation between CAD and the number of lymph nodes dissected (r =-0.841),with statistically significant differences (t =2.410,-1.992,P＜ 0.05);a positive correlation between USCF and time to postoperative anal exsufflation (r=0.170),between USCF and time for initial fluid diet intake (r=0.365),between USCF and duration of postoperative hospital stay (r=0.636) respectively,with statisticallysignificant differences (t =2.188,1.981,2.107,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Abdominal shape can influence intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy,but cannot increase risks ofperioperative complications.Age,BMI and preoperative serum albumin are independent related factors affecting perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.

Objective To study the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Zellweger syndrome caused by PEX1 gene mutation.Method The clinical data of 2 neonates with Zellweger syndrome admitted to the Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The databases of CNKI,Wipp and Wanfang were retrieved with “peroxisomal disease”,“Zellweger syndrome”,“Zellweger pedigree disorder”,and “PEX1 gene” as key words and the human gene mutation database (HGMD) was retrieved with “PEX1” as the gene name.The biomedical literature database (PubMed),Web of Science database and Embase database were retrieved with “Zellweger syndrome”,“Zellweger spectrum disorder PEX1 gene” as key words.All the databases were retrieved up to Nov 8,2018 to summarize the clinical phenotype and genotype characteristics of children with Zellweger syndrome.Result A total of 2 neonates with Zellweger syndrome were admitted to our Hospital,including 1 male and 1 female.Both the newborns presented with hypotonia,feeding difficulties clinically and showed dilated cerebral ventricles in neuroimaging.They were detected compound heterozygous for PEX1 mutations.Case 1 with the variants [NM_000466:exon 12:c.2050C＞T (p.Q684X);NM_000466:exon20:c.3043G＞T(p.E1015X)] have suffered from seizure at 2 months old.Case 2 with the variants [NM_000466.2:exon5:c.892_895dupTATA (p.Asn299IlefsTer2);NM_000466:exon19:c.2927-2delA] died in the neonatal period.No cases of newborn Zellweger syndrome caused by PEX1 gene mutation have been reported in China.There was a total of 6 articles and 13 cases were reported from foreign literature databases.All the cases presented as hypotonia,abnormal liver function,wide sutures (large fontanelle),hypertelorism and broad nasal bridge clinically.2 newborns carrying 2 missense variants were diagnosed as mild Zellweger spectrum disorder and atypical Zellweger syndrome the 10 newborns with 2 variants typed frameshift,nonsense or splice site were diagnosed as Zellweger syndrome.Conclusion Zellweger syndrome caused by defective gene PEX1 manifested as hypotonia,abnormal liver function,wide sutures (large fontanelle),hypertelorism and broad nasal bridge in neonatal period.Newborns with frameshift,nonsense or splice site variants in PEX1 have more severe clinical phenotypical features.

overall survival,tumor recurrence and metastasis were respectively 85,3,8 in the anterior approach group and 109,3,11 in the posterior approach group,with no statistically significant difference between groups (x2=0.032,0.089,0.119,P＞0.05).Conclusions Both of anterior approach and posterior approach are safe and feasible in LADG,with equivalent short-term efficacies.The anterior approach in LADG has an advantage of the lymph node dissection in the upper region of pylorus compared with posterior approach,and it also is better for patients with later tumor staging,higher BMI and bigger tumor.

Objective To explore efficacy and safety of simulated artificial pancreas in modulating stress hyperglycemia in critically ill patients. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was performed. Seventy-two critically ill patients with stress hyperglycemia, aged 18-85 years, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score over 15, two consecutive random blood glucose 11.1 mmol/L or higher, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) below 0.065, unable to eat food for 3 days after inclusion, or only accepting parenteral nutrition, admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) in Shanghai Punan Hospital of Pudong New District from January 1st, 2015 to June 30th, 2017 were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups according to the random number table method, high-intensity group and low-intensity group were injected Novolin R (high-intensity group 2/3 dosage, low-intensity group 1/3 dosage) to modulate stress hyperglycemia by simulated artificial pancreas. Simulated artificial pancreas consisted of Guardian real time glucose monitoring system (GRT system), close-circle control algorithm and micro-pump;subcutaneous injection of Humulin 70/30 was applied to modulate stress hyperglycemia in humulin group. Real-time glucose levels of interstitial fluid in abdominal wall, equivalent to blood glucose levels, 10 minutes each time, were monitored by using of GRT system for all patients in three groups. Fasting serum levels of stress hormones including epinephrine and cortisol and insulin resistance index (IRI) were recorded within 24 hours after inclusion. Mean blood glucose, blood glucose variation coefficient, blood glucose target-reaching rate, blood glucose target-reaching time, hypoglycemia rate and 6-month mortality were measured. Twenty healthy adults from health administration department of the hospital were recruited as healthy control group. Results A total of 60 eligible critically ill patients were included in this study, each group with 20 patients. There was no significant difference in gender, age, APACHE Ⅱ scores among three groups. The levels of serum epinephrine, cortisol and IRI within 24 hours after inclusion in the three groups were significantly higher than those in healthy control group. The mean blood glucose levels of humulin group, low-intensity group, high-intensity group were decreased (mmol/L: 10.2±3.2, 8.4±2.6, 8.1±2.2), the blood glucose target-reaching rate were increased [40.2% (3 295/8 196), 71.1% (5 393/7 585), 80.4% (6 286/7 818)], the blood glucose target-reaching time were shortened (hours: 49.1±5.8, 24.6±4.6, 17.5±4.2), the hypoglycemia rates were increased respectively [1.3% (108/8 196), 2.8% (211/7 585), 4.0% (313/7 818)], with statistically significant differences (all 1 = 0.000). There was no significant difference in blood glucose variation coefficient and 6-month mortality among three groups [blood glucose variation coefficient: (29.4±3.7)%, (28.5±5.3)%, (26.1±4.6)%, 6-month mortality: 55.0%, 45.0%, 40.0%, all 1 > 0.05]. Conclusions Simulated artificial pancreas could effectively and safely modulate stress hyperglycemia in critically ill patients, high-intensity modulation could bring about better efficacy in the regulation of hyperglycemia. High-frequency blood glucose monitoring by using GRT system could promptly identify hypoglycemia and help it to be corrected.

Objective To explore the way to optimize nursing human resources and analysis the effects of setting up the nurse part-time position in emergency department. Methods The nurses were recruited in the hospital of other departments, and these nurses worked in the rescue unite during the rush hour, the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) was used to measure the effects of the alleviation nurse shortage, and the statistical methods was t test. Results The Part-time nurse is significantly to alleviate the pressure of the nurse shortage in emergency department, especially the cooperation ability between doctors and nurses were significantly improved. Conclusions Part-time nurses as a way to alleviate the shortage of nurse human resources is acceptable,which also could help promote the care quality.
