Objective:To investigate the effects of anisodamine hydrobromide (654-1), 654-1+ norepinephrine and norepinephrine on early hemodynamic indexes of piglets with septic shock.Methods:A total of 38 healthy Bama pigs were selected as the study subjects, 32 of which were treated with lipopolysaccharide to create septic shock piglet model, and the other 6 were sham operation group. The animals were randomly divided into control group ( n=8), drug treatment group [654-1 group ( n=8), 654-1+ norepinephrine group ( n=8), norepinephrine group ( n=8)]. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded at T 0 (basic state), T 1 (successful shock modeling), T 2 (1 h after successful modeling), T 3 (2 h after successful modeling), T 4 (4 h after successful modeling), T 5 (6 h after successful modeling) and T 6 (8 h after successful modeling) respectively, including: Mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), whole-heart end-diastolic volume index (GEDI), lactic acid (LAC). Results:Except for the sham operation group, MAP of all treatment groups at T 1 was significantly lower than that at T 0 (all P<0.05). MAP of all treatment groups at T 2-T 6 was significantly higher than that at T 1 (all P<0.05). T 1 MAP of all treatment groups was significantly lower than that of the sham operation group (all P<0.05). MAP at T 2-T 6 in the norepinephrine group and the 654-1+ norepinephrine group was higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05), and MAP at T 2-T 4 in the 654-1 group was significantly lower than that in the 654-1+ norepinephrine group (all P<0.05). LAC of all treatment groups at T 1-T 3 was significantly higher than that at T 0 (all P<0.05) except the sham operation group. LAC in the group 654-1 at T 4 to T 6 was significantly lower than that at T 1 (all P<0.05). LAC in the group 654-1 at T 4-T 6 was significantly lower than that in the norepinephrine group and the control group (all P<0.05). The CI of norepinephrine group at T 2, T 5 and T 6 was lower than that at T 0 (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in CI between T 2 and T 6 compared with T 1 (all P>0.05). CI of the 654-1+ norepinephrine group at T 4 was significantly lower than that of T 0 ( P<0.05); The CI of the 654-1 group at T 2 was significantly higher than that of T 1 ( P<0.05). CI at T 1 in the 654-1+ norepinephrine group was significantly lower than that in the sham operation group (all P<0.05). The GEDI at T 1 to T 5 in the 654-1 group was significantly lower than that at T 0 in the 6541+ norepinephrine group (all P<0.05), and the GEDI at T 1 to T 2 was significantly lower than that at T 0 in the 6541+ norepinephrine group (all P<0.05), while the GEDI at T 2 and T 4 was higher than that at T 1 (all P<0.05). Conclusions:MAP decreased significantly in septic shock, LAC increased significantly in the early stage of shock. 654-1 can improve MAP in early stage of septic shock, and significantly reduce LAC level in early stage of septic shock.

Based on a letrozole-induced rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), serum metabolomics was employed to characterize metabolic abnormalities, identify potential biomarkers, and investigate their roles in the pathogenesis and progression of PCOS. Metabolomic analyses revealed significantly decreased levels of cholesterol, pregnenolone, leucine, and citrate in the serum of model rats, accompanied by elevated levels of androsterone glucuronide (ADTG) and linoleic acid, indicating dysregulation of key pathways including steroid biosynthesis, branched-chain amino acid metabolism, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and lipid metabolism. To elucidate the tissue origins and molecular mechanisms underlying these metabolic alterations, ovarian proteomics and qRT-PCR analyses were further integrated. The results confirmed the upregulation of key enzymes involved in the related metabolic pathways, such as 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD11B1), branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (BCAT2), fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2), and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH). These findings suggest that both “cholesterol precursor depletion-androgen accumulation” and “energy/lipid metabolic reprogramming” constitute core features of metabolic disturbances in PCOS. Through multi-omic cross-validation, six serum metabolites with high stability and clinical translational potential were identified as promising combinational biomarkers for the auxiliary diagnosis of PCOS. This study employed a metabolomics-guided strategy, supported by proteomic and transcriptomic validation, which has not only deepened our understanding of PCOS metabolic mechanisms but also provided us with a theoretical foundation for its auxiliary diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the overall efficacy of pediatric liver transplantation (LT) and the risk factors affecting the long-term outcomes.Methods:From October 2006 to December 2022, clinical profiles, intraoperative findings, perioperative managements and long-term follow-ups were retrospectively reviewed for 3004 cases (including 40 cases of retransplantation) of children with end-stage liver disease undergoing LT. Overall patient and graft survival rates after transplantation were explored by Kaplan-Meier survival curve. The survival rates of recipients receiving living donor liver transplantation and deceased donor liver transplantation, recipients with body weight ≤5 kg and >5 kg at the time of transplantation, recipients with age ≤5 months and >5 months, graft recipient weight ratio (GRWR) ≤5% and >5 %, and recipients with compatible and incompatible blood types were compared, as well as the survival rates of recipients from 2006 to 2011, 2012 to 2017, and 2018 to 2022. The occurrence of complications was analyzed. Cox regression was used to analyze the risk factors of long-term mortality, and those with <0.05 were included in the LASSO regression model to identify the independent risk factors.Results:As of December 2022, overall survivals at 1/5/10-year were 95.1 %(2 819/2 964), 93.1 % (2 759/2 964) and 91.8% (2 721/2 964) and 1/5/10-year graft survival rate 94.5 % (2 839/3 004), 92.0 % (2 764/3 004) and 86.2 % (2 589/3 004 ). The 5-year survival rate improved : Five-year survival rate at pediatric LT centers were 71.6 % (63/88, from 2006 to 2011), 91.6 % (1 009/1 101 ,from 2012 to 2017) and 95.5 % (1 695/1 775, from 2018 to 2022 ). Survival rates were lower in recipients with body weight ≤5 kg [83.7 % (41 /49) vs 94.4 % (2 746/2 915), P=0.001) ] and GRWR >5 % [90.0 % (378/420) vs 94.6 % (2 046/2 544), P=0.007 ] compared to those >5 kg and ≤5 %. Difference in surgical age and blood type compatibility were not statistically ( P=0.26 and 0.4 ). Infection [35.3 % (70/198) ]and surgical complications [24.2 % (48/198) ]were the main causes of mortality after transplantation. While infection [35.7% (25/70) ] ,portal vein complications [18.6%(13/70) ]and lung injury [15.7 % (11/70) ]were the main reasons of death within 1 month after transplantation. The incidence of postoperative infection and acute rejection decreased from 86.5 %(76/88) and 38.2% (34/88) in 2006-2011 to 75.5% (1 340/1 775) and 22.2% (394/1 775). Post-transplantation surgery-related complications included portal veinous complications (3.1 %, 92/3 004), hemorrhage (2.3 %, 68/3 004) ,hepatic arterial complications (1.7 %, 50/3 004) and hepatic venous complications (1.1 %, 33/3 004). Univariate analysis revealed that risk factors related to postoperative mortality included preoperative anemia ( P=0.012), high preoperative leucocyte count ( P=0.026), preoperative renal insufficiency ( P=0.008), hypoproteinemia ( P=0.001), coagulation dysfunction ( P= 0.005), low body weight ( P=0.007), GRWR>5% ( P=0.001), intraoperative volume of blood loss and transfusion ( P<0.001) ,postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) time ( P<0.001), hospital length post-LT ( P=0.045) ,postoperative lung infection ( P<0.001), abdominal infection ( P=0.029), postoperative hemorrhage ( P<0.001), intestinal perforation ( P<0.001), acute rejection ( P<0.001) Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection ( P<0.001) and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) ( P=0.018). Multivariable analysis revealed that preoperative creatinine ( HR=1.015, 95% CI: 1.002-1.028, P=0.024), GRWR ( HR=2.082, 95% CI: 0.473-9.157, P=0.031) ,pulmonary infection ( HR=4.389, 95% CI: 2.248-8.569, P<0.001) ,postoperative abdominal hemorrhage ( HR= 6.922, 95% CI:1.871-25.610, P=0.004), intestinal perforation ( HR=9.154, 95% CI: 2.307-36.323, P=0.002) and acute rejection ( HR=0.452, 95% CI: 0.210-0.971, P=0.042) were important influencing factors of long-term survival post-LT. Conclusions:LT is currently the most effective treatment for end-stage liver disease in children. Improving preoperative organ function, optimizing surgical techniques, minimizing intraoperative hemorrhage and preventing postoperative complications can effectively enhance the long-term outcomes of LT recipients.

Objective:To compare improved microbial assay (IMA) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) for measuring serum folate, and to investigate the linear or non-linear correlation between the results of the two methods.Methods:This comparative study was conducted in National Health Commission Key Laboratory of Reproductive Health from October 2020 to February 2021, in which the folate concentration of 251 serum samples were measured by IMA and ECL. According to the serum folate concentration, the folate status was divided into sufficient (≥13.5 nmol/L), marginal deficiency (6.8≤serum folate<13.5 nmol/L), and deficiency (<6.8 nmol/L). Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate fractional polynomial (MFP) model were used to evaluate the correlation between the results measured by the two methods. The sensitivity of ECL for detecting folate status were calculated based on the IMA results as the golden standard.Results:The average folate concentrations in serum samples measured by ECL and IMA were (19.8±8.2) nmol/L and (23.0±9.7) nmol/L, respectively ( P<0.001). The Pearson correlation coefficient ( r) of the two methods was 0.894 ( P<0.001), yet the MFP model demonstrated non-linear correlation between the two methods. When the IMA results were≤9.1 nmol/L, the r was 0.070 ( P>0.05); when the IMA results were>9.1 nmol/L, the r was 0.867 ( P<0.001); for non-hemolytic serum samples ( n=221), the r was 0.902 ( P<0.001). Additionally, the sensitivity of ECL detecting folate deficiency was 27.78%, and the sensitivity of ECL detecting folate insufficiency (deficiency and marginal deficiency) was 93.33%. Conclusion:When folate concentrations was>9.1 nmol/L), the results of ECL and IMA were highly correlated; yet the correlation between the two methods was weak at lower folate concentrations, indicating that ECL was not applicable for serum folate measurement among folate insufficiency population.

Objective:To explore the potential application of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) in terms of quantification and evaluating left atrial function in normal fetuses and fetuses with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO).Methods:A total of 32 fetuses diagnosed with LVOTO, who underwent fetal echocardiography at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University College of Medicine between May 2020 to June 2022, were selected as the case group, and 100 pregnant women with normal singleton fetuses between January 2019 to October 2022 were chosen as the control group. The standard basal or apical four-chamber view clips were obtained and were quantitatively analyzed using TomTec-Arena off-line cardiac analysis software to obtain the left atrial strain parameters of the two groups of fetuses including left atrial reservoir phase longitudinal strain(LASr), left atrial ductal phase longitudinal strain(LAScd), left atrial systolic phase longitudinal strain (LASct), as well as the routine obstetric ultrasound measurements and fetal echocardiographic parameters of the two groups: biparietal diameter (BPD), femur length (FL), aortic annulus end-systolic inner diameter (AO), pulmonary annulus end-systolic inner diameter (PA), left atrial end-systolic long length (LAESL), left atrial end-systolic transverse diameter (LAESD), right atrial end-systolic long length (RAESL), right atrial end-systolic transverse diameter (RAESD), left ventricular end-diastolic transverse diameter (LVEDD) and right ventricular diastole end-diastolic transverse diameter (RVEDD). The ratio of right ventricular end-diastolic transverse diameter to left ventricular end-diastolic transverse diameter (RVd/LVd) and the ratio of pulmonary annulus diameter to aortic annulus diameter (PA/AO) were calculated. The differences of strain parameters between the two groups were compared, and the correlation between strain parameters and gestational age, RVd/LVd and other conventional measurement parameters were analyzed. ROC curve was used to compare the specificity and sensitivity of LASr and RVd/LVd in evaluating fetal cardiac dysfunction with LVOTO.Results:There were significant differences in LASr, LAScd, LASct, MAPSE, AO, LAESL, LVEDD, RVd/LVd and PA/AO between the two groups (all P<0.05), there were no significant differences in other parameters (all P>0.05). Correlation analysis showed that LASr was negatively correlated with RVd/LVd in LVOTO group ( rs=-0.394, P=0.025), and LASct was negatively correlated with RVd/LVd ( rs=-0.626, P=0.004). In the control group, LASr was negatively correlated with gestational age, AO and PA ( r/ rs=-0.570, -0.440, -0.493; all P<0.001), and LASct was negatively correlated with gestational age, AO and PA ( r/ rs=-0.601, -0.532, -0.568; all P<0.001). LAScd was positively correlated with gestational age, AO and PA ( r/ rs=0.310, 0.370, 0.314; all P<0.05). There were no significant correlations between the other parameters (all P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC) in LASr evaluation of fetal cardiac dysfunction with LVOTO was 0.890 (0.826, 0.953) and the AUC in RVd/LVd evaluation of fetal cardiac dysfunction with LVOTO was 0.742 (0.637, 0.846), there were significant differences between them( P<0.05). Conclusions:2D-STE is highly feasible and reproducible in assessing fetal left atrial function. Evaluation of fetal left atrial function by 2D-STE provides a new reference index for quantitative analysis of fetal cardiac dysfunction.

Objective Hepatic artery (HA) reconstruction is one challenging procedure in pediatric liver transplantation (PLT).Here we review the first 115 microsurgical reconstructions of HA in PLT performed by a single surgeon,aiming to demonstrate the learning curve and the problems encountered.Methods From July 2016 to January 2017,a series of 115 microsurgical reconstructions of HA in PLT for end-stage liver disease were finished by one single surgeon with 4-year liver surgery experience and 2-week microsurgical training.HA reconstruction was performed with an operating microscope (Carl-Zeiss S88).Reconstruction was completed with interrupted sutures with 8-0 or 9-0 Prolene using the double clip for fixation.The blood flow was examined by Doppler scan daily after PLTs in first week and then once in 2nd week and first month for patency.A total of 143 artery anastomoses were performed in 115 PLTs.The age ranged from 3 months to 9 years.Indications for PLT included biliary atresia (105/115),Alagille syndrome (5/115),PFIC (3/115),Caroli disease (1/115),methylmalonicacidemia (1/115) and glycogen storage disease (1/115).Most of the PLTs were living donor liver transplantation (107/115),along with OLT (5/115) and split LT (3/115).Results The diameter of the arteries was mostly less than 2 mm (98/115).Up to date,one HA thrombosis (HAT) occurred at D8 after LT and 4 cases suspected as temporal HA stenosis (HAS) around 2 weeks after LT,which manifested as low velocity (<20 cm/s) and resistance index (<0.50) by Doppler.The HAT case failed in emergent re-anastomosis,but had a spontaneous recanalization at 3 weeks and is now in good condition without biliary problem.All the HAS children recovered to normal flows at first month.All children with HA complications started warfarin upon detection,with a targeted INR between 1.5-2.0.There were 6 deaths in this series including 5 cases of infections and 1 case of graft failure.Learning curve suggested a two phases growth (first 44 cases practicing phase vs.next 71 cases mature phase),which can be attributed to experience accumulation in terms of precise of manipulation,choice of inflow arteries for better match and stronger pulsation,avoidance of length redundant,prevention of kink.All the HAT and HASs happened in practicing phase while outcomes were excellent in mature phase.Moreover,time for each anastomosis was significantly shortened in second phase from 45-70 min to 30-55 min.Conclusion Microsurgical technique is highly safe in pediatric HA reconstruction,especially for very tiny arteries.It is possible to achieve low risk of complications for a new surgeon with adequate experience in liver surgery and microsurgical training.However,more surveillance and timing anticoagulation therapy is required before the mature of microsurgical technique.
