Objective:To explore the function of MDM2 and its relationship with p53 at the cellular level during H 2O 2 induced oxidative damage. Methods:MLE-12 HALI cell models were established using 0.5 mmol/L H 2O 2, and were divided into three groups: normal control group, H 2O 2 injury group, H 2O 2+MDM2 overexpressed group, and H 2O 2+MDM2 shRNA group. Infection of MLE-12 cells with adenovirus vector overexpressing and silencing MDM2; Using immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) to analyze the interaction between MDM2 and p53; Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of MDM2, p53, Bcl-2, Bax, and cleared caspase-3 after HALI modeling; Measure the apoptosis rate of cells in each group. Results:After transcriptome sequencing,the p53 signaling pathway closely related to HALI. Compared with the normal group, the expression of MDM2 in the H 2O 2 injury group was lower ( P<0.05); Compared with the H 2O 2 injury group, overexpression of MDM2 resulted in a decrease in the apoptosis rate of MLE-12 cells ( P<0.05), a decrease in the expression levels of p53, Bax, and cleared caspase-3 proteins, and an upregulation of MDM2 and Bcl-2 protein expression ( P<0.05). Compared with the H 2O 2 injury group, when MDM2 was silenced, the cell apoptosis rate increased ( P<0.05), and the expression levels of p53, Bax, and cleared caspase-3 proteins were upregulated, while the expression levels of MDM2 and Bcl-2 proteins decreased ( P<0.05). Co-IP experiments showed that MDM2 binds to p53 protein. Conclusions:MDM2 can exert a protective effect on HALI by inhibiting MLE-12 cell apoptosis through the p53/Bcl-2/Bax axis.

Narrative medicine,as an emerging discipline,has rapidly developed in the context of the current era of emphasis on medical humanities.The parallel chart is an essential tool for implementing humanistic practice in narrative medicine,while medical records and medical conversations are the carriers of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)academic viewpoints and humanistic thoughts.Although there are differences in the textual content between them,the concept of"people-oriented"in TCM aligns with the spirit of narrative medicine.Medical records teaching is an important link for cultivating TCM clinical thinking and medical humanistic thought.Therefore,examining TCM medical records and humanistic education from the perspective of narrative medicine,sorting out the connections and differences between TCM medical records and parallel charts,and emphasizing the educational and guiding value of narrative medicine in the modern TCM diagnosis and treatment process,are of great significance for establishing and promoting TCM-featured parallel charts,thereby guiding the education and teaching of TCM,and cultivating new-era TCM talents with empathy and reflective capabilities.

Objective:To explore the clinical therapeutic effect and follow-up prognosis of preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) managed by less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) and traditional intubation-surfactant-extubation (INSURE) of pulmonary surfactant (PS).Methods:Data during hospitalization and follow-up period of 187 NRDS preterm infants (gestational age 24 weeks to 31 + 6 weeks, and birth weight <1 500 g) admitted to the Department of Neonatology, the Women and Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from March 2019 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.NRDS preterm infants who were injected with PS by LISA were included in the LISA group (144 cases), and those who were injected with PS by INSURE were included in the INSURE group (43 cases). The propensity score matching method was used to correct the confounding factors between groups, and the covariate equilibrium samples between groups were obtained (39 cases in each group). Clinical treatment effect and prognosis of physical development, hearing and vision development, nervous system development, respiratory system diseases and other conditions of the two groups of children were compared using the t test, Chi- square test and other statistical analysis methods as appropriate. Results:(1)Compared with that of the INSURE group, the incidence of BPD [12 cases (33.3%) vs.23 cases (63.9%), χ2=6.727, P=0.009] and ROP [13 cases (36.1%) vs.26 cases (72.2%), χ2=9.455, P=0.002] in the LISA group were significantly lower.The incidence of mild BPD [8 cases (22.2%) vs.16 cases (44.4%), χ2=4.000, P=0.046] and stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ ROP [11 cases (30.6%) vs.22 cases (61.1%), χ2=6.769, P=0.009] in the LISA group was significantly lower than that of the INSURE group.There was no significant difference in the incidence of moderate and severe BPD and stageⅢ ROP and above between groups (all P>0.05). (2)There were no statistical differences in the repeated use of PS, mechanical ventilation rate within 72 h, pneumothorax/pulmonary hemorrhage, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ periventricula-rintraventricular hemorrhage, stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, abnormal amplitude integrated electroencephalogram, mortality in 36 weeks of corrected gestational age, total oxygen inhalation duration and hospitalization duration between the two groups (all P>0.05). (3)Follow-up within 1 year of corrected age after discharge.There were no significant differences in extrauterine body mass, body length and head circumference development, visual development, hearing development, Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment score at corrected gestational age of 40 weeks, Bayley Scales of Infants Development score at corrected gestational age of 6 months and age of 1 year, pneumonia and re-hospitalization due to respiratory diseases between groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:PS administration with LISA technology can reduce the incidence of mild BPD and stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ ROP in premature infants with NRDS who had the gestational age of 24-31 + 6 weeks and birth weight<1 500 g, without increasing the risk of other complications.The long-term prognosis of them treated with PS administration with LISA and INSURE is similar.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound monitoring of inferior vena cava collapse index (IVC-CI) guiding fluid replacement on circulation in elderly patients during induction of general anesthesia.Methods:A total of 71 elderly patients who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia and tracheal intubation at Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital from April 2021 to September 2022 were randomly divided into control group (35 cases) and observation group (36 cases) using a random number table method. Before anesthesia, both groups of patients underwent IVC ultrasound examination and calculated the IVC-CI value. For patients with IVC-CI≥40%, the observation group was given 8 ml/kg of crystal solution before anesthesia induction, while the control group was not treated. The incidence of hypotension, the use of vasoactive drugs, and the total infusion volume from anesthesia induction to skin incision were recorded in two groups. Mean arterial blood pressure (MBP), heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO 2), cardiac index (CI), and cardiac volume variability (SVV) before anesthesia (T 0), 5 min after induction (T 1), 1 min after tracheal intubation (T 2), 5 min after tracheal intubation (T 3), 10 min after tracheal intubation (T 4), and 1 min before skin incision (T 5) were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results:The incidence of hypotension (27.8% vs 60.0%) and utilization rate of vasoactive drugs (25.0% vs 48.6%) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the total infusion volume during anesthesia induction was higher than that in the control group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). SVV, CI and MBP at T 1, T 3, T 4 and T 5 were significantly different from those at T 0 in the control group ( F=3.85, 14.66, 3.96, all P<0.05). SVV, CI and MBP at T 1, T 3, T 4 and T 5 in the observation group were significantly different from those at T 0 ( F=3.51, 13.20, 4.35, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in SVV, CI, MBP, HR and SpO 2 between 2 groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:For the elderly patients with preoperative IVC-CI≥40%, pre-filling with 8ml/kg crystal solution before anesthesia induction can significantly reduce the incidence of hypotension and the utilization rate of vasoactive drugs in the elderly patients during anesthesia induction.

Objective:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) .Methods:An ambispective study was conducted on 123 AD patients treated with dupilumab in Department of Dermatology, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from July 2020 to March 2022, clinical data were collected, and efficacy and safety of dupilumab were evaluated. Primary outcomes included scores of eczema area and severity index (EASI) , patient-oriented eczema measure (POEM) , peak pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS) and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) before and after 4-, 8-, 12- and 16-week treatment, and adverse reactions and events were recorded. Comparison of scores before and after treatment was performed using paired t test or repeated measures analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparison of efficacy among patients with different types of skin lesions or different IgE levels, and multiple regression model based on robust standard errors was used to analyze factors influencing the efficacy. Results:Among the 123 AD patients, 107 were enolled into the efficacy analysis, and 85 (79.44%) completed at least 4 weeks of treatment, including 6 (7.06%) achieving EASI75 and 23 (27.06%) achieving EASI50, and the EASI, NRS, POEM, DLQI scores (10.41 ± 6.72, 4.12 ± 1.74, 8.60 ± 4.29, 7.81 ± 4.38, respectively) significantly decreased compared with those before treatment (18.08 ± 10.69, 7.21 ± 2.01, 16.88 ± 5.74, 12.95 ± 5.95, respectively; all P < 0.001) in the 85 patients. Among the 107 patients, 47 (43.93%) completed at least 16 weeks of treatment. Among the 47 patients, 23 (82.14%) of 28 adults and 17 (89.47%) of 19 adolescents and children achieved 75% or greater improvement in EASI score; the EASI, NRS, POEM and DLQI scores before the treatment all significantly differred from those 4, 8, 12, 16 weeks after the treatment (all P < 0.001) , and all the scores were significantly lower at weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16 than at the previous adjacent time points (all P < 0.05) . At week 4 during the treatment, the EASI improvement rate was significantly lower in the AD patients with prurigo nodularis than in those without ( U = 151.00, P = 0.006) , while there was no significant difference in the EASI improvement rate between the AD patients with xeroderma and those without ( P > 0.05) ; at week 16 during the treatment, there was no significant difference in the EASI improvement rate between patients with prurigo nodularis or xeroderma and those without (both P > 0.05) . Multiple regression analysis based on robust standard errors at week 16 showed that the improvement degree in the EASI score was not correlated with the type of skin lesions ( β = 3.20, P = 0.075) , but correlated with age ( β = -0.22, P = 0.030) , whether patients were in adulthood ( β = 9.54, P = 0.049) , immediate family history ( β = 7.46, P = 0.017) ; the improvement degree in the NRS score was correlated with the type of skin lesions ( β = 0.55, P = 0.032) , age ( β = -0.04, P = 0.033) , weight ( β = -0.05, P = 0.020) , whether patients were in adulthood ( β = 2.06, P = 0.003) and whether patients received combined treatment with antihistamines ( β = -1.91, P = 0.001) . Adverse reactions: among the 123 patients, 6 (4.88%) developed conjunctivitis, and 2 (1.63%) developed facial erythema. Adverse events: vitiligo-like changes occurred on the right forehead of 1 patient, and 3 patients discontinued the treatment with dupilumab due to Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura, distal axonal damage in peripheral nerves in both upper limbs, and epilepsy, respectively. The causal relationship between these adverse events and dupilumab was unclear. Conclusion:Dupilumab is effective in the treatment of AD with high overall safety, and can serve as a new treatment option for AD patients with an unsatisfactory response to traditional treatment.

Objective:To observe the effect of esketamine on cardiac index in patients undergoing lumbar surgery in prone position under general anesthesia.Methods:Forty-five patients with prone lumbar surgery after general anesthesia in Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital from March to July 2021 were divided into observation group (24 cases, group A) and control group (21 cases, group B) according to random number table method. Group A received 0.5 mg/kg esketamine intravenously during induction, and 0.15 mg/(kg·h) esketamine intravenously for 2 h after prone position. Group B received the same amount of normal saline. Both groups were given sevoflurane and remifentanil during operation to maintain anesthesia, and sufentanil was given intermittently during operation. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic pressure (DBP), cardiac index (CI), and heart rate (HR) before induction (T 0), during endotracheal intubation (T 1), 5 minutes after intubation (T 2), 5 minutes after prone position (T 3), 10 minutes after prone position (T 4), 30 minutes after prone position (T 5), 45 minutes after prone position (T 6), 60 minutes after prone position (T 7), 90 minutes after prone position (T 8), and 120 minutes after prone position (T 9) were recorded; The total dosage of norepinephrine 2 hours after anesthesia to prone position and extubation time after operation were also recorded. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was performed 15 minutes after extubation, 6 and 24 hours after operation. Results:There was no significant difference in CI between T 3-T 9 and T 2 in group A ( P>0.05); the CI of group B at T 3-T 7 was significantly lower than that at T 2 (all P<0.05); there was no significant difference in CI between T 8-T 9 and T 2 in group B (all P>0.05); There was no significant difference in CI between group A and group B at T 0-T 2 (all P>0.05). The CI of group A at T 3-T 9 was significantly higher than that of group B (all P<0.05); The dosage of norepinephrine in group A was significantly lower than that in group B ( P<0.05); There was no significant difference in HR, MAP, SBP and DBP between the two groups at different time points (all P>0.05); there was also no significant difference in extubation time and VAS scores at 15 minutes, 6 hours and 24 hours after extubation between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Intraoperative application of esketamine can increase CI after prone position and reduce the amount of norepinephrine during lumbar surgery.
