Objective:To evaluate the effect of intraoperative optimization of regional cerebral oxygen saturation(rSO 2C) intervention on postoperative delirium(POD) in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB). Methods:Two hundred and seventy-three pediatric patients of both sexes, aged 28 days-6 yr, with American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification ≤Ⅳ, scheduled for elective cardiac surgery under CPB, were divided into intervention group( n=136) and control group( n=137) based on the computer random coding. In intervention group, optimized intervention measures were given when rSO 2C was below 75% of the baseline value for more than 1 min. In control group, rSO 2C was not monitored during operation, and intraoperative management was performed according to the routine monitoring indicators of pediatric cardiac surgery under CPB. The occurrence of POD within 7 days after operation was evaluated, and the duration and first occurrence time of POD were recorded. Results:Compared with control group, no significant change was found in the incidence of POD( P>0.05), the first occurrence time of POD was significantly prolonged, and the duration of POD was shortened in intervention group( P<0.05). Conclusions:Intraoperative optimization of rSO 2C intervention can delay the time to the first occurrence of POD and shorten the duration in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery under CPB.

Objective:To compare the changes in fracture displacement under different vertical loadings between the 2 different internal fixation modalities for vertically unstable femoral neck fractures of Pauwels type Ⅲ by a mechanical study and a finite element analysis.Methods:Twelve biomimic bones were transversely dissected from 10 cm below the lesser trochanter of the femur to create femoral neck fracture models with a Pauwels angle of 70° using a swing saw. The models were equally divided into 2 groups ( n=6): group A was fixed with 3 cannulated screws after fracture reduction (scheme A), and group B with 3 cannulated screws plus a self-designed anteromedial support plate after fracture reduction (scheme B). Continuous vertical force was applied using a mechanical testing machine. Changes in displacement were recorded and load-displacement curves were plotted. One volunteer (female, 28 years old, 168 cm in height and 65 kg in weight) was selected for finite element analysis of her CT images of both lower limbs to examine the maximum displacement and the maximum Mises stress in scheme A and scheme B respectively. Results:In groups A and B respectively: All the 6 biomimic mimetic bones had similar load and displacement curves, and similar fracture displacements (Dx) at different loading points (N X); the curves of 6 biomimic bones were highly fitted with S-shaped curve equation (the r-square value was close to 1). At the initial loading stage (0 N0.05). When the load was 100 N

Objective:To develope a titanium specimen with good osteogenic activity through fabrication of a composite hydroxyapatite coating on ordered micro-/nanotextured titanium surface.Methods:An ordered micro-/nanotextured structure was prepared on the surface of titanium (the control), and then hydroxyapatite was deposited on the as-prepared ordered micro-/nanotextured structure by alternative loop immersion method. The ordered micro-/nanotextured structures before and after hydroxyapatite deposition were denoted as HA and MN, respectively. Surface morphology was observed using a scanning electron microscope. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) were seeded on the surface of three different materials. Cell morphology was observed with a scanning electron microscope. Cell adhesion and cell proliferation were evaluated using 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining and cell counting kit-8 assay, respectively. Extracellular matrix mineralization and the expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes were evaluated by alizarin red staining and real-time quantitative PCR, respectively. Each group has three samples in every experiment.Results:After alternative loop immersing, the MN's original microholes (20 μm in diameter) were retained, and the uniform petal-like hydroxyapatite was deposited on the MN's original titania nanotubes (70 nm in diameter). Compared with the control, BMMSC on MN and HA elongated further and intersected along the micron structure with noticeable pseudopodia and pseudoplates, and the trend was more pronounced especially on HA. The number of early adherent cells on HA was remarkably larger than that on the control and MN at each time point ( P<0.05). On day 1, the A value of cell proliferation on HA was significantly higher than that on the control and MN ( P<0.05). The A value of cell proliferation on HA was significantly lower than that on the control and MN on day 3 ( P<0.05). On day 7, the A value of cell proliferation on HA was significantly lower than that on MN ( P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in the A value of cell proliferation between HA and the control on day 7 ( P>0.05). The Avalue of extracellular matrix mineralization on HA (0.607±0.011) was significantly higher than that on the control and MN (0.268±0.025 and 0.522±0.022, respectively) ( t=-0.25, P<0.001; t=-0.34, P<0.001). The expression levels of bone related genes on HA were significantly higher than those on the control and MN ( P<0.05). Conclusions:HA could promote the BMMSC adhesion and osteogenic differentiation, support BMMSC proliferation, and demonstrate good osteogenic activity.

Objective : To investigate the effects of glycated low density lipoprotein (Gly⁃LDL) on the growth of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the expression of toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) and hypoxia inducible factor⁃1α (HIF⁃1α), and to explore its possible mechanism . Methods : HUVECs were cultured in vitro and divided into control group, positive control group[50 mg/L normal low density lipoprotein(n⁃LDL)], low concentration, medium concentration and high concentration Gly⁃LDL(50, 75, 100 mg/L) groups . Respectively, the effects of different concentrations of Gly⁃LDL on survival rate of HUVECs were detected by CCK⁃8; The motility of HUVECs under different treatments were detected by wound healing assays; The level of inflammatory cytokine, such as tumor inducing factor⁃α(TNF⁃α), interleukin⁃6(IL⁃6), intercellular adhesion molecule⁃1(ICAM⁃1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule⁃1(VCAM⁃1) were detected by ELISA; The mRNA levels of TLR4, HIF⁃1α, TNF⁃α and IL⁃6 were detected by qRT⁃PCR; Protein expressions of TLR4, HIF⁃1α, TNF⁃α and IL⁃6 were detected by Western blot; Respectively, si⁃RNA of TLR4 and HIF⁃1α was used to intervene the effects of Gly⁃LDL on HUVECs . The experiment was divided into control group, model group (Gly⁃LDL 100 mg/L), si⁃TLR4 group (Gly⁃LDL 100 mg/L + si⁃TLR4), TLR4 unloading group( Gly⁃LDL 100 mg/L + si⁃NC1), si⁃HIF⁃1α group ( Gly⁃LDL 100 mg/L + si⁃HIF⁃1α) and HIF⁃1α unloading group ( Gly⁃LDL 100 mg/L + si⁃NC2) . Protein expressions of TLR4 and HIF⁃1α were detected by Western blot to verify the interaction between TLR4 and HIF⁃1α . Results: The survival rate and migration rate of HUVECs were inhibited in Gly⁃LDL(50 mg/L, 75 mg/L, 100 mg/L) group (P < 0. 01), the inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF⁃α, IL⁃6, ICAM⁃1,VCAM⁃1 increased by Gly⁃LDL function on HUVECs(P < 0. 001), and the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4, HIF⁃1α, TNF⁃α and IL⁃6 increased by Gly⁃LDL in a dose dependent manner. After TLR4 was knocked out, the proteins expression of TLR4 and HIF⁃1α were down⁃regulated compared with model group(P < 0. 05),but after HIF⁃1α was knockout, only the protein expression of HIF⁃1α was down⁃regulated compared with model group( P < 0. 01),while the protein expression of TLR4 was up⁃regulated under the influence of Gly⁃LDL. Conclusion Gly⁃LDL may inhibit the proliferation and migration of HUVECs by up⁃regulating TLR4/HIF⁃1α inflammatory signaling pathway, and promote the expression of inflamma⁃tory cytokines, leading to vascular endothelial injury .

Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a proband with Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome (SGS).Methods:Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect potential variants associated with the relevant phenotypes. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing of the patient and her family.Results:DNA sequencing revealed that that the proband has carried a de novo heterozygous missense c. 94C>G (p.Leu32Val) variant in exon 1 of the SKI gene (NM_003036), which has been reported previously. The same variant was not detected in either parent. Based on the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variant was predicted to be pathogenic (PS1+ PS2+ PM1+ PM2+ PP2+ PP3). Conclusion:The SKI c. 94C>G (p. Leu32Val) variant probably underlay the autosomal dominant SGS in this patient.
