OBJECTIVE: To observe the characteristics of changes in non-invasive hemodynamic parameters in neonates with septic shock so as to provide clinical reference for diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: A observational study was conducted. The neonates with sepsis complicated with septic shock or not admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College were enrolled as the study subjects, who were divided into preterm infant (< 37 weeks) and full-term infant (≥ 37 weeks) according to the gestational age. Healthy full-term infants and hemodynamically stable preterm infants transferring to NICU after birth were enrolled as controls. Electronic cardiometry (EC) was used to measure hemodynamic parameters, including heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), stroke volume (SV), stroke volume index (SVI), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), before treatment in the septic shock group, at the time of diagnosis of sepsis in the sepsis without shock group, and before the discharge from the obstetric department or on the day of transferring to NICU in the control group. RESULTS: Finally, 113 neonates with complete data and parental consent for non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring were enrolled, including 32 cases in the septic shock group, 25 cases in the sepsis without shock group and 56 cases in the control group. In the septic shock group, there were 17 cases at the compensated stage and 15 cases at the decompensated stage. There were 21 full-term infants (20 cured or improved and 1 died) and 11 premature infants (7 cured or improved and 4 died), with the mortality of 15.62% (5/32). There were 18 full-term infants and 7 premature infants in the sepsis without shock group and all cured or improved without death. The control group included 28 full-term infants and 28 premature infants transferring to NICU after birth. Non-invasive hemodynamic parameter analysis showed that SV, SVI, CO and CI of full-term infants in the septic shock group were significantly lower than those in the sepsis without shock group and control group [SV (mL): 3.52±0.99 vs. 5.79±1.32, 5.22±1.02, SVI (mL/m²): 16.80 (15.05, 19.65) vs. 27.00 (22.00, 32.00), 27.00 (23.00, 29.75), CO (L/min): 0.52±0.17 vs. 0.80±0.14, 0.72±0.12, CI (mL×s^-1×m^-2): 40.00 (36.67, 49.18) vs. 62.51 (56.34, 70.85), 60.01 (53.34, 69.68), all P < 0.05], while SVR and SVRI were significantly higher than those in the sepsis without shock group and control group [SVR (kPa×s×L^-1): 773.46±291.96 vs. 524.17±84.76, 549.38±72.36, SVRI (kPa×s×L^-1×m^-2): 149.27±51.76 vs. 108.12±12.66, 107.81±11.87, all P < 0.05]. MAP, SV, SVI, CO and CI of preterm infants in the septic shock group were significantly lower than those in the control group [MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg ≈ 0.133 kPa): 38.55±10.48 vs. 47.46±2.85, SV (mL): 2.45 (1.36, 3.58) vs. 3.96 (3.56, 4.49), SVI (mL/m²): 17.60 (14.20, 25.00) vs. 25.50 (24.00, 29.00), CO (L/min): 0.32 (0.24, 0.63) vs. 0.56 (0.49, 0.63), CI (mL×s^-1×m^-2): 40.01 (33.34, 53.34) vs. 61.68 (56.68, 63.35), all P < 0.05], while SVR and SVRI were similar to the control group [SVR (kPa×s×L^-1): 1 082.88±689.39 vs. 656.63±118.83, SVRI (kPa×s×L^-1×m^-2): 126.00±61.50 vs. 102.37±11.68, both P > 0.05]. Further analysis showed that SV, SVI and CI of neonates at the compensation stage in the septic shock group were significantly lower than those in the control group [SV (mL): 3.60±1.29 vs. 4.73±1.15, SVI (mL/m²): 19.20±8.33 vs. 26.34±3.91, CI (mL×s^-1×m^-2): 46.51±20.34 vs. 61.01±7.67, all P < 0.05], while MAP, SVR and SVRI were significantly higher than those in the control group [MAP (mmHg): 52.06±8.61 vs. 48.54±3.21, SVR (kPa×s×L^-1): 874.95±318.70 vs. 603.01±111.49, SVRI (kPa×s×L^-1×m^-2): 165.07±54.90 vs. 105.09±11.99, all P < 0.05]; MAP, SV, SVI, CO and CI of neonates at the decompensated stage in the septic shock group were significantly lower than those in the control group [MAP (mmHg): 35.13±6.08 vs. 48.54±3.21, SV (mL): 2.89±1.17 vs. 4.73±1.15, SVI (mL/m²): 18.50±4.99 vs. 26.34±3.91, CO (L/min): 0.41±0.19 vs. 0.65±0.15, CI (mL×s^-1×m^-2): 43.34±14.17 vs. 61.01±7.67, all P < 0.05], while SVR and SVRI were similar to the control group [SVR (kPa×s×L^-1): 885.49±628.04 vs. 603.01±111.49, SVRI (kPa×s×L^-1×m^-2): 114.29±43.54 vs. 105.09±11.99, both P > 0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Full-term infant with septic shock exhibit a low cardiac output, high vascular resistance hemodynamic pattern, while preterm infant with septic shock show low cardiac output and normal vascular resistance. At the compensated stage the hemodynamic change is low output and high resistance type, while at the decompensated stage it is low output and normal resistance type. Non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring can assist in the identification of neonatal septic shock and provide basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Key UDS parameters recorded included maximum bladder capacity，maximum detrusor pressure during filling phase，changes in maximum systolic blood pressure（SBP）relative to baseline（ΔSBP）during UDS examination，and the frequency of 24-hour blood pressure exceeding baseline by 20 mmHg. After general anesthesia or epidural anesthesia，BTX-A（200 U）was injected into the bladder at 30 points（including the triangle）under the cystoscope using a special injection needle，6.7 U per injection，and then the catheter was kept for 3-5 days after treatment. Three months later，relevant indicators were collected and compared with pre-treatment data. Results:A total of 43 patients were included in this study，including 34 males and 9 females. The age was（39.23±13.17）years old and the disease course was（2.69±3.27）years old. There were 33 cervical and 10 thoracic cases. The American Spinal Injury Association Injury Scale score distribution was as follows：26（60%）A，4（9%）B，9（21%）C，and 4（9%）D. The presence of AD was confirmed in all patients during urodynamic examination（UDS），that was the systolic blood pressure（SBP）suddenly increased and exceeded 20 mmHg（1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa）. Before treatment，The AD symptoms severity score（consist of headache，sweating，goose bumps，anxiety and palpitation）were（14.53±2.51），Bladder-related AD frequency was 10.67 episodes/day. Baseline SBP was（103.51±9.64）mmHg，the maximum SBP was（150.40±22.75）mmHg，and the change in SBP（ΔSBP）from maximum to baseline SBP during UDS examination was（43.83±21.01）mmHg. The UDS indicated that the maximum detrusor pressure during storage phase was（54.95±24.68）cmH 2O，and the bladder capacity was（131.70±75.29）ml. Bladder diary showed the volume of catheterization each time from was（181.16±49.86）ml，and The I-QOL score was（44.07±8.60）. Three months after treatment，the AD symptoms severity score（consist of headache，sweating，goose bumps，anxiety and palpitation）were（11.37±2.39）. The frequency of bladder-related AD episodes was（7.51±2.37）episodes/day，showing statistically significant differences compared to pre-treatment（ P<0.05）.The SBP before UDS examination was（102.12±10.28）mmHg，with no statistically significant difference from baseline（ P = 0.518）. The maximum SBP in perfusion phase and the ΔSBP were（132.84±16.30）mmHg and（28.72 ± 14.02）mmHg，respectively，both demonstrating statistically significant differences（ P < 0.05）. The UDS examination revealed that the maximum detrusor pressure during the storage phase was（29.77±13.72）cmH 2O，showed a significant decrease，and the bladder capacity was（272.63±79.75）ml，which were both statistically different before and after surgery. Bladder diary showed the volume of catheterization each time was（326.74±63.71）ml；I-QOL score was（71.86±11.45），both were significant different after treatment（ P < 0.01）. Conclusion:BTX-A intravesical injection in the treatment of NDO can also alleviate the severity and frequency of bladder related AD.

AIM:To evaluate the value of ultra-sound-guided erector spinae plane block(ESPB)combined with opioid-sparing anaesthesia in extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL)for pancre-atic stones.METHODS:A total of 96 patients(60 males and 36 females,aged 20-65 years,ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ,BMI 16-30 kg/m2)undergoing elective extracorpo-real shock wave lithotripsy for pancreatic duct stones were selected in our hospital from March 2022 to April 2023.The patients were randomly di-vided into conventional intravenous anesthesia group(group C,48 cases)and ESPB+opioid-sparing group(group E,48 cases).Patients in group C un-derwent general anesthesia with target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil with sponta-neous breathing.Patients in group E underwent ul-trasound-guided bilateral ESPB before intravenous general anesthesia.The changes of hemodynamic indexes(HR,MAP)in the two groups were ob-served and recorded.The anesthetic effect,dosage of remifentanil,quality of anesthesia recovery,postoperative analgesic effect and incidence of perioperative adverse reactions(respiratory depres-sion,nausea and vomiting,pruritus,etc.)were ob-served in the two groups.RESULTS:Compared with group C,the incidence of intraoperative respiratory depression was significantly decreased,the intraop-erative consumption of remifentanil was de-creased,and the postoperative recovery time was shortened in group E(P＜0.05).The VAS scores of rest and cough pain and the incidence of postoper-ative nausea and vomiting were significantly de-creased in group E(P＜0.05).There was no signifi-cant difference in HR and MAP between the two groups(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION:Ultrasound-guided ESPB in ESWL for pancreatic duct stones is satisfac-tory and can save opioids with few complications.

Objective: To explore the association between greenness surrounding school and aggression among primary school students, and to explore the potential mediating roles of social support, loneliness, particulate matter (PM2.5) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) in this association, in order to provide a scientific reference for preventing and ameliorating aggressive behaviors of primary school students. Methods: The data was used from a survey of children and adolescents conducted in 2015. The Chinese version of the Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire was used to assess total and subtypes of aggression, and the mean values of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of 100 m, 500 m, 1 000 m circular buffers surrounding school were used to indicate the participants greenness exposure. PM2.5 and NO2 datas were obtained from the China High Air Pollutants Dataset.Generalized Linear Mixed Models were used to assess the associations of greenness surrounding school with total and subtypes of aggression. Results: Per IQR increment of NDVI-500 m [OR(95%CI)=1.09(1.03-1.15)] and NDVI-1 000 m[OR(95%CI)=1.07(1.02-1.13)] were positively correlated with physical aggression among primary school children, and per IQR increment of NDVI-100 m [OR(95%CI)=0.94(0.90-0.99)], NDVI-500 m [OR(95%CI)=0.93(0.89-0.98)] and NDVI-1 000 m [OR(95%CI)=0.95(0.91-1.00)] were negatively associated with verbal aggression (P<0.05). Mediation analyses revealed that social support partially mediated the association between the NDVI-500 m and physical aggression (mediation ratio:18.0%) and verbal aggression (mediation ratio:-8.3%) among primary school students, and loneliness partially mediated the association between the NDVI-500 m and physical aggression and verbal aggression among elementary school students effects, with proportion mediated ratios of -10.0% and 21.0%, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusions Exposure to school surrounding greenness is likely to associated with physical aggression and verbal aggression in primary school students, and social support and loneliness may partially mediate these associations.

Objective To summarize and analyze the preliminary clinical outcomes of the KokaclipTM transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair system for severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR). Methods This study was a single-arm, prospective, single-group target value clinical trial that enrolled patients who underwent the KokaclipTM transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system for DMR in the Department of Heart Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute from June 2022 to January 2023. Differences in the grade of mitral regurgitation (MR) during the perioperative and follow-up periods were compared, and the incidences of adverse events such as all-cause death, thoracotomy conversion, reoperation, and severe recurrence of MR during the study period were investigated. Results The enrolled patient population consisted of 14 (50.0%) females with a mean age of 70.9±5.4 years. Twenty-eight (100.0%) patients were preoperatively diagnosed with typeⅡ DMR, with a prolapse width of 12.5 (11.0, 16.1) mm, a degree of regurgitation 4+ leading to pulmonary venous reflux, and a New York Heart Association cardiac function class≥Ⅲ. All patients completed the TEER procedure successfully, with immediate postoperative improvement of MR to 0, 1+, and 2+ grade in 2 (7.1%), 21 (75.0%), and 5 (17.9%) patients, respectively. Mitral valve gradient was 2.5 (2.0, 3.0) mm Hg. Deaths, thoracotomy conversion, or device complications such as unileaflet clamping, clip dislodgement, or leaflet injury were negative. Twenty-eight (100.0%) patients completed at least 3-month postoperative follow-up with a median follow-up time of 5.9 (3.6, 6.8) months, during which patients had a mean MR grade of 1.0+ (1.0+, 2.0+) grade and a significant improvement from preoperative values (P<0.001). There was no recurrence of ≥3+ regurgitation, pulmonary venous reflux, reoperation, new-onset mitral stenosis, or major adverse cardiovascular events. Twenty-two (78.6%) patients’ cardiac function improved to classⅠorⅡ. Conclusion The domestic KokaclipTM TEER system has shown excellent preliminary clinical results in selected DMR patients with a high safety profile and significant improvement in MR. Additional large sample volume, prospective, multicenter studies, and long-term follow-up are expected to validate the effectiveness of this system in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of novel erythrocyte preservation solution on the quality of erythrocytes in stored blood of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats.Methods:Forty SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, weighing 180-220 g, were used in this study. Ten rats randomly selected served as conventional erythrocyte preservation solution group (group A). T2DM model was prepared in the remaining 30 rats. Twenty T2DM rats were divided into 2 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: T2DM conventional erythrocyte preservation solution control group (group C) and T2DM novel erythrocyte preservation solution observation group (group Y). Erythrocyte preservation solution was prepared to simulate the preoperative autologous blood donation process, and blood was collected from the tail vein to isolate the red blood cells, and then the corresponding preservation solution was added. Immediately after blood collection (T 0) and at 7, 14 and 21 days of preservation (T 1-3), the morphological structure of erythrocytes was observed with a light microscope, and the concentrations of 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate (2, 3-DPG) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were also determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at T 0-T 3 and 28 days of preservation (T 4). PKH26 was used to label the erythrocytes stored in vitro for 28 days, and then the erythrocytes were transfused back into rats. The survival rate of erythrocytes was detected by flow cytometry at 1, 7, 13 and 18 h after retransfusion. Results:The erythrocyte damage was aggravated at different time points of preservation in group C when compared with group A. Compared with group C, the damage to erythrocytes was significantly alleviated at different time points of preservation in group Y. Compared with group A, the concentration of 2, 3-DPG in erythrocytes was significantly decreased at T 0 and T 2-T 4, the concentration of ROS was increased at T 0-T 4, and the survival rate of erythrocytes was decreased at 1, 7 and 18 h after retransfusion in group C ( P<0.05). Compared with group C, the concentration of 2, 3-DPG in erythrocytes was significantly increased at T 0-T 4, the content of ROS was decreased at T 1, T 3 and T 4, and the survival rate of erythrocytes was increased at 1, 7 and 18 h after retransfusion in group Y ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The novel erythrocyte preservation solution can improve the quality of stored erythrocytes and increase the survival rate of erythrocytes in vivo after retransfusion in T2DM rats.

Sesquiterpenoids are natural compounds composed of 15 carbon atoms， which can be divided into sesquiterpene alcohols， ketones， lactones， aldehydes， and carboxylic acids according to oxygen groups. These compounds are widely distributed in nature， and their physiological activities are diverse. For example， many sesquiterpenes with potential anticancer effects have been found for anti-tumor effects， including cytotoxicity， antioxidant， immune regulation， cell proliferation， and so on. In addition， some sesquiterpenoids have good application prospects in antibacterial， anti-inflammatory， and anti-cardiovascular diseases. Malignant tumors， inflammation， bacterial diseases， and cardiovascular diseases are the main diseases that cause human death， and natural products have unique advantages in the treatment of these diseases. Therefore， the development of new drugs that are easy to promote has become a new research hotspot. In this paper， the sesquiterpenes extracted from the natural components of Chinese herbs and plants with anti-tumor， anti-inflammatory， antibacterial， and anti-cardiovascular activities， such as Xanthium， Atractylodes， Convolvulus， Acanthium， Ligularia， Artemisia， Ligularia， Ligularia， Labiaceae Mint， Acanthophyllum， Turmeria， Ginger， and other Chinese herbs and plants， were discussed. The biological activities and related mechanisms of this compound were reviewed， which provided a reference for further research and clinical application of sesquiterpenes.

AIM: To observe the effect of RBC preservation solution with sodium pyruvate on the morphology, structure and function of RBC stored in vitro in type 2 diabetes rats. METHODS: Thirty SPF male SD rats, were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=10): non-T2DM conventional RBC preservation solution (group A), T2DM conventional RBC preservation solution (group B) and T2DM sodium pyruvate RBC preservation solution (group C). The leukoreduced RBC from the tail vein and stored for 0 d (T0), 7 d (T1), 14 d (T2), 21 d (T3) and 28 d (T4) to detect the morphology, structure and the contents of 2, 3-DPG, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and lactic acid (LA) of RBC in group A, B and C. The RBC stored for 14 days in vitro were labeled with PKH26, and its survival rate were tested in vivo at 1, 4, 10 and 16 hours after intravenous infusion. RESULTS: At T0, the RBC morphology of group A was intact, which was better than that of group B and group C. With the extension of storage time, the morphology of RBC in each group gradually transformed into a spindle-spherical shape. Compared with group A, the incidence of acanthocytes in group B and group C was higher, and the incidence of acanthocytes in group C was lower than that in group B. Compared with group A, the content of 2, 3-DPG in group B and group C decreased, while ROS and MDA increased at different time points (P<0.05). The content of 2,3-DPG in group C was higher than that in group B (P<0.05), and the contents of ROS and MDA were lower than those in group B (P<0.05). LA content in group B was higher than that in group A and group C (P<0.05). At T2-T4, the LA content in group C was lower than that in group A (P<0.05). The survival rate of RBC in group A was higher than that in group B and C, and the survival rate of RBC in group B was lower than that in group C (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Sodium pyruvate added RBC preservation solution has a certain protective effect on RBC stored in vitro in type 2 diabetic rats, and its mechanism may be related to its antioxidant effect.
