Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a series of perioperative optimization measures based on evidence-based medicine aimed at achieving rapid recovery. Existing studies have shown that ERAS can effectively reduce surgical stress, decrease the incidence of complications, shorten hospital stays, save medical costs, and improve patient satisfaction. Although lung transplantation techniques have become increasingly mature, lung transplant recipients still have a high incidence of complications during perioperative period. To further improve the perioperative survival rate of lung transplant recipients, introducing ERAS concept into the perioperative management strategy of lung transplantation is of great significance for reducing incidence of perioperative complications, promoting rapid recovery and long-term survival of lung transplant recipients. This article discusses the advances in application of ERAS concept in the perioperative management of lung transplantation, aiming to provide references for optimizing the perioperative management of lung transplant recipients and reducing perioperative complications.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the proliferation, apoptosis and colony-forming unit-megakaryocyte (CFU-MK) of Meg-01 cells and its possible mechanisms. METHODS: The uptake and metabolism of 5-HT in Meg-01 cells were analysed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with electrochemical detection. The expression of 5-HT2B receptor (5-HT2BR) in megakaryocytes was detected by immunofluorescence staining. The cell proliferation and viability were measured by MTT and Trypan blue staining after Meg-01 cells were single-cultured or co-cultured with different concentrations of 5-HT/5-HT2BR inhibitor Ketanserin for 48 h. Meg-01 cells were incubated with 5-HT/ Ketanserin for 72 h, then the flow cytometry was used to detect early apoptosis of the cells and the activity of caspase-3. Using CFU-MK assay to investigate the effect of 5-HT on the differentiation of megakaryocytes. RESULTS: 5-HT could be uptaken by Meg-01 cells, and metabolized into 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). The expression of 5-HT2BR on megakaryocytes could be detected after immunofluorescence staining. 5-HT could promote the proliferation of Meg-01 cells at a dose-dependent manner (r =0.82), with the most significant effect observed at a concentration of 200 nmol/L (P < 0.001). Trypan blue staining also indicated that 200 nmol/L 5-HT had the most significant effect on the viability of Meg-01 cells (P < 0.05). The proliferation of Meg-01 cells treated with 5-HT was increased compared with the untreated control (P < 0.001), while the combination of 5-HT with ketanserin downregulated this effect. 5-HT significantly reduced the early apoptosis rate (P < 0.001) and caspase-3 activity (P < 0.05) of Meg-01 cells, while addition of ketanserin significantly increased the early apoptosis rate of Meg-01 cells (P < 0.001) and caspase-3 activity also increased to some extent. 5-HT promoted the formation of CFU-MK in bone marrow cells in a dose-dependent manner (r =0.89). The addition of ketanserin reduced the promoting effect of 5-HT on CFU-MK formation (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION There may be monoamine oxidase present in megakaryocytes, which can metabolize and decompose 5-HT into 5-HIAA. 5-HT may promote the proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes through 5-HT2BR. Besides, 5-HT can also reduce the apoptosis of megakaryocytes, and its anti-apoptotic effect may be mediated by 5-HT2BR and caspase-3 pathways.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effectiveness and safety of stick-point sinew-soothing and bone-setting manipulation for scapulohumeral periarthritis. MethodsUsing prospective randomised controlled trial method， 60 cases of patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis were collected and randomly divided into 30 cases each in control group and trial group. Both groups of patients were orally treated with celecoxib， on the basis of which the control group was treated with traditional bonesetting manipulation once every other day for 14 days， while the trial group was treated with stick-point sinew-soothing and bone-setting manipulation once every 3~5 days for 14 days. Both groups were treated for 2 courses. The main observation indexes were pain visual analogue scale （VAS） score and shoulder pain and dysfunction index （SPADI）， which were evaluated once before treatment and after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment. The secondary effectiveness indicators included the university of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale （UCLA）， traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score （including symptom scores as joint pain， pain in a fixed place， activity limitation， local stiffness）， and serum interleukin （IL-6） and tumour necrosis factor α （TNF-α） levels before and after the treatment， in order to evaluate the clinical effectiveness， and to record the adverse reactions that occurred in the process of diagnosis and treatment. ResultsCompared with the groups before treatment， the pain VAS score， SPADI and scores of joint pain， pain with a fixed place， activity limitation and local stiffness were lower， UCLA score was higher， and serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were lower at 4 weeks of treatment in the two groups （P＜0.05）. When comparing the two groups between the groups at 2 and 4 weeks of treatment， the pain VAS score， SPADI and TCM scores of each symptom in the study group were lower than those in the control group， the UCLA score was higher than those in the control group （P＜0.01）， and the serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were lower than those in the control group at 4 weeks of treatment （P＜0.01）. The clinical effectiveness rate of the study group was 66.67%， which was significantly higher than that of the control group， which was 40.00% （P = 0.038）. No adverse reactions were seen in both groups during the study. ConclusionCompared with the traditional massage manipulation， the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis with stick-point sinew-soothing and bone-setting manipulation has more advantages in relieving pain symptoms， reducing inflammatory reaction， and promoting the recovery of shoulder joint function.

Objective:To investigate the effects of mild SARS-CoV-2 infection on hematological parameters of adult blood donors and the suitability of apheresis platelet donation,the changes of the hematological parameters in blood donors with mild infection of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant strain were evaluated.Methods:Seventy-two blood donors with mild COVID-19 symptoms who donated consecutive apheresis platelets for 3 times from December 2022 to January 2023,42 cases among which were included in the infection-positive group,and 30 cases in the suspected infection group.Forty-two donors un-vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2,un-infected,and donated three consecutive apheresis platelets from October to November 2022 were included in the control group.The changes of blood routine testing in the positive group and the suspected infection group were retrospectively compared before(Time1)and after(Time2 and Time3)the onset of symptoms,three consecutive times(Time1,Time2,Time3)in the control group by repeated measures analysis of variance.The Bayesian discriminant method was used to establish a discriminant equation to determine whether the recent infection of SARS-CoV-2 occurred or not.Results:Simple effect of the number times of tests in the positive and suspected infection groups was significant(Finfection-positive group=6.98,P＜0.001,partial η2=0.79,Fsuspected infection group=4.31,P＜0.001,partial η2=0.70).The positive group and the suspected infection group had lower RBC,HCT,and HGB,and higher PLT and PCT at Time2 compared to Time1 and Time3(P＜0.05).The positive group and the suspected infection group showes RDW-CV and RDW-SD at Time3 higher than Time1 and Time2(P＜0.001).The simple effect of the number times of tests in the control group was not significant(F=0.96,P=0.55,partial η2=0.34).The difference of the whole blood count parameters in the control group for three times was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).We established a discriminant equation to determine whether the recent infection of SARS-CoV-2 occurred or not.The equation had an eigenvalue of 0.22,a canonical correlation of 0.43(x2=27.81,P＜0.001),and an analysis accuracy of 72.9％.Conclusion:The hematological indicators of RBC,HCT,HGB,PLT,PCT,RDW-CV and RDW-SD in blood donors who had infected with mild COVID-19 showed dynamic changes.The discriminant equation for whether they are infected recently with COVID-19 has a high accuracy rate.

Objective:To investigate the effects of sperm DNA fragmentation index(DFI)on embryonic development and live birth outcomes of in vitro fertilization-fresh embryo transfer(IVF-ET).Methods:We selected 947 cases of IVF-ET due to female factors from June 2015 to December 2020 and,according to the DFI,divided them into a low-(DFI＜15％),a medium-(15≤DFI≤30％)and a high-DFI(30％＜DFI)group.We obtained the female factors(including age,body mass index[BMI],and base-line levels of sexual hormones and anti-Müllerian hormone[AMH]),male factors(including age,BMI,and semen parameters),pa-rameters of superovulation induction,semen parameters before and after IVF treatment,outcome of ovulation induction,embryo quality and pregnancy outcome,and compared them among the three groups.Results:The patients in the medium-and high-DFI groups had a significantly older age than those in the low-DFI group.There were statistically significant differences among the three groups in the baseline percentages of progressively motile sperm,non-progressively motile sperm and immotile sperm,and total sperm motility and progressive sperm motility before IVF(P＜0.01).The baseline percentage of morphologically normal sperm,sperm concentration and total sperm count before IVF treatment,and sperm concentration after IVF treatment were significantly lower in the medium-and high-DFI groups than in the low-DFI group,and so was the total sperm count in the high-DFI than in the low-and medium-DFI groups either before or after semen treatment(P＜0.01).The fertilization rate was also markedly lower in the medium-and high-DFI than in the low-DFI group,but no statistically significant differences were observed in ovulation induction parameters,embryo quality and pregnan-cy outcome among the three groups.Conclusion:High DFI significantly affects sperm motility.The DFI level after semen treatment is negatively correlated with sperm concentration,total sperm count and fertilization rate,but does not affect embryo quality and preg-nancy outcome.
