Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of artificial liver support therapy with an Evanure-4A selective membrane plasma separator and its influence on platelet count in the treatment of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)patients with different platelet counts.Methods A total of 302 patients with ACLF who were hospitalized in Department of Hepatology,Chengdu Public Health Clinical Medical Center,from January 2021 to May 2023,were enrolled,and according to the platelet count(PLT),they were divided into group A(25×109/L—50×109/L)with 101 patients,group B(51×109/L—80×109/L)with 98 patients,and group C(81×109/L—100×109/L)with 103 patients.In addition to medical treatment,all patients received different modes of artificial liver support therapy based on their conditions,including plasma perfusion combined with plasma exchange,double plasma molecular adsorption combined with plasma exchange,and bilirubin system adsorption combined with plasma exchange.The paired t-test was used for comparison of continuous data before and after treatment in each group;an analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups,and the SNK-q test was used for further comparison between two groups;the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between multiple groups.Results Of all 302 patients,268(88.74%)achieved varying degrees of improvement in clinical symptoms after artificial liver support therapy.After treatment,all three groups had varying degrees of reductions in alanine aminotransferase(t=14.755,21.614,and 15.965,all P＜0.001),aspartate aminotransferase(t=11.491,19.301,and 13.919,all P＜0.001),total bilirubin(t=19.182,17.486,and 21.75,all P＜0.001),and international normalized ratio(INR)(t=3.497,3.327,and 4.358,all P＜0.05).After artificial liver support therapy with an Evanure-4A selective membrane plasma separator,PLT in group A decreased from(37.73±6.27)×109/L before treatment to(36.59±7.96)×109/L after treatment,PLT in group B decreased from(66.97±7.64)×109/L before treatment to(62.59±7.37)×109/L after treatment,and PLT in group C decreased from(93.82±5.38)×109/L before treatment to(85.99±12.49)×109/L after treatment;groups B and C had significant reductions in PLT after treatment(t=12.993 and 8.240,both P＜0.001),but there was no significant difference in group A(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of adverse reactions during artificial liver support therapy between the three groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Artificial liver support therapy can improve liver function and INR in patients with ACLF.The use of Evaure-4A selective membrane plasma separator during artificial liver support therapy has little influence on platelets,and it is safe in the treatment of ACLF patients with a significantly lower level of platelets.

OBJECTIVE: In the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the subject was designed to develop a new tracheal intubation device based on magnetic navigation technology to improve the success rate of tracheal intubation and reduce the risk of occupational exposure of medical staff. METHODS: The new tracheal intubation device was designed with the uniqueness of the magnetic field environment and magnetic steering of magnetic navigation technology. And preliminary magnetic navigation tracheal intubation experiments were performed on the tracheal intubation simulator. RESULTS: Magnetic navigation tracheal intubation can successfully implement tracheal intubation, and the time required is lower than that of traditional laryngoscopy. CONCLUSIONS The tracheal intubation based on magnetic navigation technology is feasible, with high efficiency and easy operation. That is expected to be widely used for tracheal intubation during treatment of patients outside the hospital in the future. At the same time, magnetic navigation endotracheal intubation technology will be the key technology for the development of endotracheal intubation robots.

Objective To identify the specific microRNA (miRNA) that can be taken as a molecular marker for human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods MSCs were isolated and cultured from bone marrow through density centrifugation and then were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts and chondrocytes. Samples of MSCs, osteoblasts and chondrocytes were detected by miRNA microarrays single channel fluorescence chip to determine the expression levels of miRNAs. Significance Analysis of Microarrays ( SAM, version 2.1 ) software was used to analyze the raw data to determine the miRNAs overexpressed in MSCs, which was validated in the same sample using real time reserve transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results MSCs were successfully isolated from bone marrow and induced to differentiate into osteoblasts and chondrocytes in vitro. Microarrays showed that eight miRNAs (has-miR-424, has-miR-34a, has-miR-593, has-miR-10a, has-miR-148a,has-miR-602, mmu-miR-709 and mmu-miR-665) were overexpressed in MSCs but underexpressed in osteoblasts. Three miRNAs including has-miR-424, PREDICTED_MIR189 and mmu-miR-665, were overexpressed in MSCs but underexpressed in chondrocytes. The has-miR-424 expression in MSCs was 6.6times higher than in osteoblasts and 4.4 times higher than in chondrocytes. The results of real time RTPCR showed that the miR-424 was overexpressed in MSCs, 3.6 times higher than that in osteoblasts and 3.1 times higher than that in chondrocytes, which was coincident with the results of microarray. Conclusions The screened MSCs express more miRNAs in comparison with osteoblasts and chondrocytes,play important roles in maintaining self renewal and undifferentiation of MSCs and is a promising specific molecule marker for MSCs.
