Objective To explore the feasibility and reference value of allogeneic lung transplantation and postoperative monitoring in miniature pigs for lung transplantation research. Methods Two miniature pigs (R1 and R2) underwent left lung allogeneic transplantation. Complement-dependent cytotoxicity tests and blood cross-matching were performed before surgery. The main operative times and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO₂) after opening the pulmonary artery were recorded during surgery. Postoperatively, routine blood tests, biochemical blood indicators and inflammatory factors were detected, and pathological examinations of multiple organs were conducted. Results The complement-dependent cytotoxicity test showed that the survival rate of lymphocytes between donors and recipients was 42.5%-47.3%, and no agglutination reaction occurred in the cross-matching. The first warm ischemia times of D1 and D2 were 17 min and 10 min, respectively, and the cold ischemia times were 246 min and 216 min, respectively. Ultimately, R1 and R2 survived for 1.5 h and 104 h, respectively. Postoperatively, in R1, albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLB) decreased, and alanine aminotransferase increased; in R2, ALB, GLB and aspartate aminotransferase all increased. Urea nitrogen and serum creatinine increased in both recipients. Pathological results showed that in R1, the transplanted lung had partial consolidation with inflammatory cell infiltration, and multiple organs were congested and damaged. In R2, the transplanted lung had severe necrosis with fibrosis, and multiple organs had mild to moderate damage. The expression levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 increased in the transplanted lungs. Conclusions The allogeneic lung transplantation model in miniature pigs may systematically evaluate immunological compatibility, intraoperative function and postoperative organ damage. The data obtained may provide technical references for subsequent lung transplantation research.

BACKGROUND: Biomarkers-based prediction of long-term risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is scarce. We aim to develop a risk score integrating clinical routine information (C) and plasma biomarkers (B) for predicting long-term risk of ACS patients. METHODS: We included 2729 ACS patients from the OCEA (Observation of cardiovascular events in ACS patients). The earlier admitted 1910 patients were enrolled as development cohort; and the subsequently admitted 819 subjects were treated as validation cohort. We investigated 10-year risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI) and all cause death in these patients. Potential variables contributing to risk of clinical events were assessed using Cox regression models and a score was derived using main part of these variables. RESULTS: During 16,110 person-years of follow-up, there were 238 CV death/MI in the development cohort. The 7 most important predictors including in the final model were NT-proBNP, D-dimer, GDF-15, peripheral artery disease (PAD), Fibrinogen, ST-segment elevated MI (STEMI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), termed as CB-ACS score. C-index of the score for predication of cardiovascular events was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.76-0.82) in development cohort and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.76-0.78) in the validation cohort (5832 person-years of follow-up), which outperformed GRACE 2.0 and ABC-ACS risk score. The CB-ACS score was also well calibrated in development and validation cohort (Greenwood-Nam-D'Agostino: P = 0.70 and P = 0.07, respectively). CONCLUSIONS CB-ACS risk score provides a useful tool for long-term prediction of CV events in patients with ACS. This model outperforms GRACE 2.0 and ABC-ACS ischemic risk score.

Objective To screen Cuproptosis genes and characteristic genes for differential prognosis in acute mye-loid leukemia(AML)and explore their prognosis in AML as well as their biological roles and correlations in the immune and tumor microenvironment.Methods AML clinical,transcriptome,genomic,and copy number data were downloaded from three major databases,TCGA,GEO,and UCSC,and Cuproptosis genes were collected from published studies.From the perspective of multiomics,the effects of Cuproptosis gene and characteristic gene on survival,immunity,tumor microenvironment,stem cell correlation and drug sensitivity were studied by various bioinformatics methods,meta-analysis and secondary typing.Results One Cuproptosis gene was identified as a differential prognostic gene in AML and five characteristic genes were identified as influencing the prognosis of AML patients by influencing Cuproptosis,and a prognostic model was established.The differential genes were mainly concentrated in mitochondrial activity,REDOX enzyme and energy metabolism.In terms of immunity,macrophage M0,neutrophils,activated memory CD4 T cells and Tregs were positively correlated with risk score,while macro-phage M2,resting mast cells,immature CD4 T cells,helper follicular T cells and memory B cells were negatively correlated with risk score.In terms of tumor microenvironment,the immune cell score of the low-risk group was lower than that of the high-risk group,and in the total score,the tumor microenvironment score of the low-risk group was also lower than that of the high-risk group,indicating that the tumor purity of the high-risk group was lower than that of the low-risk group.However,there was no significant association between stem cells in the high-risk and low-risk groups,and a total of 14 drugs were found to be sensitive to treat AML.Conclusion Cuproptosis gene and characteristic gene are closely related to immune and tumor microenvironment in AML by constructing a prognostic model of AML.

Objective To explore the safety and management mode of hysteroscopy in three different modes:outpatient,daily and inpatient.Methods The quality control data of patients who underwent hysteroscopic surgery in Hysterscopy Centre,Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University from Jan 2019 to Dec 2021 were collected through the electronic information system of the hospital and the monthly quality control report of hysteroscopy center.The amount of surgery,the proportion of grade Ⅳsurgery,the analysis of operation types,the indicator including complications,and unanticipated secondary surgery were retrospectively analyzed.Results From 2019 to 2021,5 162 outpatient hysteroscopic patients,15 331 daily hysteroscopic patients and 5 942 inpatient hysteroscopic patients were admitted in our hospital.The age of inpatient hysteroscopic patients was significantly older than those of outpatient and daily patients(P<0.001).In the past three years,the proportion of daily hysteroscopy gradually increased,and the proportion of inpatient hysteroscopy gradually decreased(P<0.001).The total percentage of grade Ⅳ hysteroscopic surgery was 12.9%,in which inpatient was higher than daily,and daily was higher than outpatient(P<0.001).The incidence of complications and accidents during hysteroscopy was 0.117%(31/26 435),including 17 cases of uterine perforation,7 cases of hysteroscopy failure,3 cases of excessive intraoperative bleeding,2 cases of fluid overload,1 case of intestinal injury,and 1 case of anesthesia accident.The incidence of hysteroscopy in outpatient,daily and inpatient were 0.020%(1/5 162),0.137%(21/15 331)and 0.151%(9/5 942)respectively.Conclusion Hysteroscopy in outpatient,daily and inpatient are all safe and reliable.Outpatient and daily hysteroscopy can improve the efficiency of medical services,which has gradually become a trend.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Angelica Sinensis polysaccharide(ASP)promoting donor bone marrow transplantation(BMT)to reconstruct hematopoietic function of receptor mice by regulating bone marrow stromalcells(BMSCs).Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cells(BMMNCs)of male C57BL/6J mice aged 8-10 weeks were separated,purified and transplanted into female receptor mice of the same age.On the ninth day,receptor mice BMMNCs were separated,purified and transplanted again into female receptor mice.The transplanted receptor mice were divided into control group:sham irradiation;Irradiation(IR)group:a whole-body irradiation with a total dose of 8.0 Gy X-ray;BMT group:the receptor mice treated in the same way as the IR group and transplanted BMMNCs(5×106 cells)from male donor via the tail vein;BMT+ASP group:the receptor mice treated in the same way as the BMT group,and injected ASP[100 mg/(kg·d)×9]by intraperitoneal route from the first day of transplantation.Changes in body weight and survival rate of mice were recorded during modeling,receptor mice BMMNCs were collected to detect sex-determining region of Y(SRY)gene after building model,peripheral blood indexes,the number of BMMNCs in femur and histopathology of bone marrow were detected;BMSCs in receptor mice was separated and purified,BMSCs adhesion ability was observed,proliferation ability was detected by 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine(EdU);The level of reactive oxygen species(ROS),the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and the content of malondialdehyde(MDA)in BMSCs were detected;The levels of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF),stem cell factor(SCF),insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1)in culture supernatant of BMSCs were determined,CFU-Mix was counted after BMMNCs co-cultured with receptor BMSCs in each group for 48 hours;The expression of Notch signaling pathway related genes(Notch1,Jagged1,Hes1)in BMMNCs were measured by Real-time PCR.Results All mice in IR group were died,the body weight loss in BMT+ASP group was not obvious.The SRY gene was detected in the receptor female mice BMMNCs.Peripheral blood indexes and the number of BMMNCs were not significantly decreased in BMT+ASP group receptor mice,and bone marrow histopathological injury was reduced.ASP promoted the proliferation of BMSCs,decreased the contents of ROS and MDA,and increased the activity of SOD in BMSCs.ASP promoted the secretion of SCF,GM-CSF and IGF-1 in BMSCs,and increased CFU-Mix yield of BMMNCs co-cultured with receptor BMSCs.ASP increased the expression of Notch1,Jagged1 and Hes1 mRNA in BMMNCs.Conclusion The mechanism of ASP promoting receptor hematopoietic function reconstruction is related to reducing the oxidative stress damage of hematopoietic microenvironment,improving the secretion of hematopoietic growth factors in BMSCs,and regulating Notch signaling pathway.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 22 G fine needle aspiration (FNA) needles and 22 G end-cutting fine needle biopsy (FNB) needles for solid pancreatic lesion using both cytological and histological examination.Methods:Clinical data of 116 patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/FNB) at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from June 2022 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Sixty-three patients sampled with 22 G FNA needles were the FNA group, and 53 sampled with 22 G FNB needles were the FNB group. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and cytological and histological diagnostic yield of FNA needles and FNB needles for solid pancreatic lesions were compared.Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, lesion location, lesion size, or the number of passes between the FNA group and the FNB group ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the diagnostic accuracy [93.7% (59/63) VS 90.6% (48/53), P=0.730], sensitivity [93.0% (53/57) VS 90.2% (46/51), P=0.732], specificity [100.0% (6/6) VS 100.0% (2/2), P=1.000], positive predictive value [100.0% (53/53) VS 100.0% (46/46), P=1.000] and negative predictive value [60.0% (6/10) VS 28.6% (2/7), P=0.335] of combined cytology and histology in distinguishing benign and malignant lesions between the two groups. In the FNA group, the diagnostic accuracy of combined cytology and histology was higher than cytology alone [93.7% (59/63) VS 81.0% (51/63), P=0.008], and was higher than histology alone without statistical significance [93.7% (59/63) VS 87.3% (55/63), P=0.125]. In the FNB group, the diagnostic accuracy of combined cytology and histology was higher than cytology alone [90.6% (48/53) VS 69.8% (37/53), P=0.001], but not than histology alone [90.6% (48/53) VS 90.6% (48/53)， P=1.000]. For solid masses located in pancreatic body/tail, the diagnostic accuracy for malignancy by histology using FNB needles tended to be higher than that of FNA needles [100.0% (17/17) VS 81.3% (26/32), P=0.080]. Conclusion:Both FNA needles and FNB needles exhibit adequate diagnostic yield for solid pancreatic masses when combining cytology and histology. FNB needles may offer a higher histological diagnostic yield.

Conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) by ten-eleven translocation (TET) family proteins leads to the accumulation of 5hmC in the central nervous system; however, the role of 5hmC in the postnatal brain and how its levels and target genes are regulated by TETs remain elusive. We have generated mice that lack all three Tet genes specifically in postnatal excitatory neurons. These mice exhibit significantly reduced 5hmC levels, altered dendritic spine morphology within brain regions crucial for cognition, and substantially impaired spatial and associative memories. Transcriptome profiling combined with epigenetic mapping reveals that a subset of genes, which display changes in both 5hmC/5mC levels and expression patterns, are involved in synapse-related functions. Our findings provide insight into the role of postnatally accumulated 5hmC in the mouse brain and underscore the impact of 5hmC modification on the expression of genes essential for synapse development and function.

Objective:To explore the prognostic effect and safety of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) mode on the patients with severe neurological cerebrovascular disease undergoing mechanical ventilation.Methods:A prospective study was conducted. Fifty-four patients with cerebrovascular disease undergoing mechanical ventilation admitted to the neurosurgery intensive care unit (NSICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College (Yijishan Hospital) from December 2020 to May 2022 were enrolled. They were divided into NAVA group and pressure support ventilation (PSV) group by computer random number generator with 27 patients in each group. The ventilation time of the two groups was ≥72 hours. The general basic data of the two groups were recorded. The time without mechanical ventilation 28 days after enrollment, total length of mechanical ventilation, survival rate of 90 days after enrollment, length of NSICU stay, total length of hospital stay, NSICU mortality, in-hospital mortality, Glasgow outcome score (GOS), complications related to mechanical ventilation, and changes of respiratory mechanics indexes, arterial blood gases, vital signs, and diaphragm function indexes were observed.Results:The time without mechanical ventilation 28 days after enrollment in the NAVA group was significantly longer than that in the PSV group [days: 22 (15, 26) vs. 6 (0, 23), P < 0.05]. However, there were no significant differences in the total length of mechanical ventilation, 90-day survival rate, length of NSICU stay, total length of hospital stay, NSICU mortality, in-hospital mortality, GOS score, and incidence of mechanical ventilator-related complications between the two groups. In terms of respiratory mechanics parameters, the expiratory tidal volume (VTe) on 3 days after mechanical ventilation of patients in the NAVA group was significantly lower than that on 1 day and 2 days, and significantly lower than that in the PSV group [mL: 411.0 (385.2, 492.6) vs. 489.0 (451.8, 529.4), P < 0.01]. Minute ventilation (MV) at 2 days and 3 days in the NAVA group was significantly higher than that at 1 day, and significantly higher than that in the PSV group at 2 days [L/min: 9.8 (8.4, 10.9) vs. 7.8 (6.5, 9.8), P < 0.01], while there was no significant change of MV in the PSV group. At 1 day, peak airway pressure (Ppeak) and mean airway pressure (Pmean) in the NAVA group were significantly lower than those in the PSV group [Ppeak (cmH 2O, 1 cmH 2O≈0.098 kPa): 14.0 (12.2, 17.0) vs. 16.6 (15.0, 17.4), Pmean (cmH 2O): 7.0 (6.2, 7.9) vs. 8.0 (7.0, 8.2), both P < 0.05]. However, there was no significant difference in the Ppeak or Pmean at 2 days and 3 days between the two groups. In terms of arterial blood gas, there was no significant difference in pH value between the two groups, but with the extension of mechanical ventilation time, the pH value at 3 days of the two groups was significantly higher than that at 1 day. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2) at 1 day in the NAVA group was significantly lower than that in the PSV group [mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa): 122.01±37.77 vs. 144.10±40.39, P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference in PaO 2 at 2 days and 3 days between the two groups. There was no significant difference in arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) or oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2) between the two groups. In terms of vital signs, the respiratory rate (RR) at 1, 2, and 3 days of the NAVA group was significantly higher than that of the PSV group [times/min: 19.2 (16.0, 25.2) vs. 15.0 (14.4, 17.0) at 1 day, 21.4 (16.4, 26.0) vs. 15.8 (14.0, 18.6) at 2 days, 20.6 (17.0, 23.0) vs. 16.7 (15.0, 19.0) at 3 days, all P < 0.01]. In terms of diaphragm function, end-inspiratory diaphragm thickness (DTei) at 3 days in the NAVA group was significantly higher than that in the PSV group [cm: 0.26 (0.22, 0.29) vs. 0.22 (0.19, 0.26), P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in end-expiratory diaphragm thickness (DTee) between the two groups. The diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) at 2 days and 3 days in the NAVA group was significantly higher than that in the PSV group [(35.18±12.09)% vs. (26.88±8.33)% at 2 days, (35.54±13.40)% vs. (24.39±9.16)% at 3 days, both P < 0.05]. Conclusions:NAVA mode can be applied in patients with neuro-severe cerebrovascular disease, which can prolong the time without mechanical ventilation support and make patients obtain better lung protective ventilation. At the same time, it has certain advantages in avoiding ventilator-associated diaphragm dysfunction and improving diaphragm function.
