Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance and there are currently no approved drugs for its treatment. Hyperactivation of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and subsequent impairment of the transcription factor EB (TFEB)-mediated autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) are implicated in the development of NAFLD. Accordingly, agents that augment hepatic TFEB transcriptional activity may have therapeutic potential against NAFLD. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of nuciferine, a major active component from lotus leaf, on NAFLD and its underlying mechanism of action. Here we show that nuciferine activated ALP and alleviated steatosis, insulin resistance in the livers of NAFLD mice and palmitic acid-challenged hepatocytes in a TFEB-dependent manner. Mechanistic investigation revealed that nuciferine interacts with the Ragulator subunit hepatitis B X-interacting protein and impairs the interaction of the Ragulator complex with Rag GTPases, thereby suppressing lysosomal localization and activity of mTORC1, which activates TFEB-mediated ALP and further ameliorates hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. Our present results indicate that nuciferine may be a potential agent for treating NAFLD and that regulation of the mTORC1-TFEB-ALP axis could represent a novel pharmacological strategy to combat NAFLD.

Background: The benefits and risks of eradicating Helicobacter pylori (Hp) should be balanced in aged people. Aims: To investigate the efficacy, safety and antibiotic resistance status of Hp eradication treatment in the elderly. Methods: Four cohorts of subjects who received Hp eradication treatment in randomized controlled trials conducted in Chongqing Daping Hospital were reviewed; the demographic and clinical data were extracted and recorded. Propensity score matching was performed to select comparable elderly group (≥60 years old) and non-elderly group (<60 years old). The eradication rate, compliance, adverse events, antibiotic resistance, and the influencing factors of eradication were analyzed in these two groups. Results: A total of 994 subjects receiving Hp eradication treatment were enrolled initially, among them, 224 were categorized as elderly group and non-elderly group by propensity score matching, with 122 subjects in each group. The Hp eradication rates were higher than 90% in both elderly and non-elderly groups, and no significant differences were observed in compliance, drug-related adverse events, and antibiotic resistance rates between these two groups (all P>0.05). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the Hp eradication rates in terms of gender, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, surgical history, and inflammation), compliance, etc. in the elderly group (all P> 0.05). But in retreated elderly subjects, the resistance rate of clarithromycin was higher than that in naïve elderly subjects (P<0.05). Smoking and poor compliance were identified as independent risk factors for Hp eradication by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: Hp eradication in the elderly demonstrates comparable efficacy and safety with non-elderly subjects. Clarithromycin-containing regimens are not recommended for empirical retreatment in aged people.

Objective:To establish training system for postoperative delirium (POD) assessment and evaluate the efficacy of training for anesthesia nurses.Methods:Sixteen nurse anesthetists of both sexes in our hospital were selected and received the systemic training for POD assessment.The training system included questionnaire survey, theoretical teaching, simulated visit, clinical observation, independent evaluation, centralized question-answering, evaluation of efficacy and random inspection.The level of POD knowledge tests were performed before the training and at the end of the fourth week of independent evaluation, respectively.At week 1 and 4 of independent evaluation, the diagnostic rate of POD and sensitivity and specificity of the assessment were calculated, and Kappa consistency analysis was used to assess the consistency between anesthesia nurses and training group in diagnosis of POD.In the first week of the third month after the end of training, the evaluation results were randomly inspected, the POD diagnosis rate was calculated between the anesthesia nurses and the training group, and the consistency analysis was conducted.Results:Compared with the scores of POD knowledge questionnaire and sensitivity of the assessment of the anesthesia nurses in the first week of training, the scores were significantly increased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the POD diagnosis rate in the fourth week of training ( P>0.05). Compared with the training group, the diagnosis rate of POD of anesthesia nurses was significantly decreased in the first week of training ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found at the fourth week of training ( P>0.05). In the first and fourth weeks of training, the Kappa value of anesthesia nurses and the training group was 0.676 and 0.954 ( P<0.001), respectively.In the first week of the third month after the end of training, the Kappa value between anesthesia nurses and the training group in diagnosis of POD was 0.862 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The training system of POD assessment has been successfully established, and the standardized anesthesia nurses training of POD has been achieved with good results.

Objective:
To investigate the safety and efficacy of rotational atherectomy in the interventional treatment of coronary chronic total occlusion lesions.
Methods:
In this retrospective study,a total of 31 consecutive patients with coronary chronic total occlusion(CTO) lesions underwent rotational atherectomy in our hospital from February 2004 to December 2016 were enrolled,and the clinical features were analyzed. Coronary atherectomy was performed if balloon failed to cross the CTO lesions or balloon could not be fully dilated in the CTO lesions after wire crossing. The definition of procedure success was defined as residual stenosis less than 20% after implantation of drug eluting stent and rotational atherectomy. After the procedure, the patients were followed up to observe major adverse cardiac and cerebral vascular events which including cardiogenic death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and target lesion revascularization.
Results:
The 1.25 mm diameter burr was firstly selected in 80.6% (25/31) patients,and 96.8%(30/31) patients used only 1 burr to complete the rotational atherectomy procedure. The complication rate was 9.8% (3/31) including 1 patient with coronary dissection and 3 patients with slow flow or no flow. There was 1 patent with both coronary dissection and slow flow. The procedure success rate was 96.8%(30/31). Interventional treatment related myocardial infarction occurred in 3 patients during hospitalization.The 30 patients with procedure success were followed up 36(11, 96) months. The incidence rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebral vascular events was 13.3% (4/30), of which the cardiogenic death rate was 3.3% (1/30), the myocardial infarction rate was 6.7% (2/30), cerebrovascular accident rate was 3.3%(1/30),and the target lesion revascularization rate was 6.7% (2/30).
Conclusion
Rotational atherectomy is safe and effective in the interventional treatment of coronary CTO lesions.

BACKGROUND:Transverse acetabular fracture often involves the damage of anterior and posterior columns of acetabulum. The most popular fixation of the anterior and posterior columns needs the combined anterior and posterior approach. Big trauma is not conducive to patient’s recovery after surgery. Limited incision or percutaneous minimaly invasive lag screw placement can reduce soft tissue injuries, but the strength of the fixation lacks of biomechanical verification. OBJECTIVE: To compare different types of fixations for transverse acetabular fracture, explore the appropriate fixation options that can achieve effective fixation and reduce tissue injury by combing with repair approach and the condition of soft tissue. METHODS: The fourth generation of synthetic semi-pelvic sawbones was set as a template to establish a model of acetabular transverse fracture using finite element analysis. Five different fixation options were used to fix the transverse acetabular fracture. The magnitudes of anterior and posterior displacement of transverse fracture were compared to assess the stability of different options under a simulated condition of incomplete weight bearing stand. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The motion at anterior column was minimal when fixed by anterior column locking plate + posterior column screw and the minimum displacement at posterior column was the fixation of anterior column screw + posterior column locking plate. Both of the motions of these two fixations were less than the reconstruction plate fixation respectively. The worst fixation was the anterior column and posterior column lag screw fixation with the largest displacement. The anterior column locking plate + posterior column screw, accomplished by single approach, could not only reduce surgical trauma, but also has a stronger stability. Moreover, this fixation option is effective method to place posterior column lag screw under direct vision and reduce the difficulty of screw implantation.
