Objective To explore the effect of miRNA-222-3p in endothelial progenitor cell-derived exosomes(EPCs-Exo)on skin wound healing in diabetic mice.Methods Endothelial progenitor cell(EPCs)derived from C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow were identified by fluorescence staining.Subsequently,EPCs-Exo isolated from the media of EPCs were identified,and high-throughput sequencing of EPCs-Exo miRNA was completed.The skin injury model of diabetic mice was established.According to different groups,the wounds were treated with externally ap-plied phosphate buffer solution(PBS)and EPCs-Exo;Subcutaneous injection of PBS,agomiR-222-3p,and an-tagomiR-222-3p at the edge of the wound was performed continuously for 14 days,and the wound healing rate was observed.Meanwhile,immunofluorescence methods were used to investigate the changes in the expression levels of ROS,CD31,and VEGF in the wound margin tissue before and after treatment.Results EPCs-Exo significantly ac-celerated skin wound healing in diabetic mice,reduced the level of ROS,and increased the expression level of VEGF and CD31 in the wound margin tissue(P＜0.05).High-throughput sequencing showed that miRNA-222-3p was highly expressed in EPCs-Exo.Local subcutaneous injection of miRNA-222-3p into wound margin tissue signifi-cantly promoted the skin wound healing of diabetic mice,reduced the level of ROS,and increased the expression level of VEGF and CD31 in the wound margin tissue(P＜0.05).Conclusion MiRNA-222-3p promotes wound healing in diabetic mice and plays an important role in EPCs-Exo promoting wound healing.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of intraarticular vancomycin on early periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in knee arthroplasty and the incidence of postoperative complications.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 1 867 patients who underwent primary knee arthroplasty at Department of Joint Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from April 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively analysed, including total knee arthroplasty (TKA), robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) and unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). There were 687 males and 1 180 females, aged (68.0±11.2)years(range:45 to 87 years). Patients were divided into the vancomycin group and the control group according to whether or not intra-articular injection of 1 g of vancomycin powder dissolved in 30 ml of saline was performed after intraoperative joint capsule closure. In the vancomycin group, 925 patients were included, including 782 TKA, 27 RA-TKA and 116 UKA.In the control group, 942 patients were included, including 767 TKA, 99 RA-TKA and 76 UKA. Early PJI, wound complications, and vancomycin-related toxicity including acute renal collapse, ototoxicity, and allergic reactions were assessed within 3 months postoperatively. The data were compared using the independent sample t test, χ2 test, and Fisher's exact probability method, as appropriate. Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium (METRC). Results:No PJI was found in all patients in the vancomycin group.Five cases (0.7%,5/767) of early PJI were found in TKA patients in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.030); 1 case of early PJI was found in each RA-TKA and UKA patients, with non-significant difference compared with vancomycin group (all P>0.05). Two cases (0.3%,2/782) of incisional complications were found in TKA patients in the vancomycin group, and 4 cases (0.5%, 4/767) of incisional complications were found in TKA patients in the control group, with non-significant difference( P=0.449); no incisional complication was found in RA-TKA patients in the vancomycin group, and 1 case (1.0%,1/99) of incisional complications were found in RA-TKA patients in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05); no incisional complication was found in both groups of UKA patients.No vancomycin-related acute kidney injury, ototoxicity, or allergic reactions was observed in all patients. Conclusion:Intra-articular injection of 1 g of vancomycin suspension after arthrotomy closure during TKA maybe lower the risk of early PJI without increasing the risk of wound complication and vancomycin-associated systemic toxicity.

Objective:To investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on delayed extubation of patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).Methods:A total of 400 ATAAD patients who were admitted to our hospital from October 2021 to October 2023 and underwent surgical treatment were selected as the research objects. According to BMI, they were divided into obese group (BMI≥28 kg/m 2, 119 cases) and non-obese group (BMI<28 kg/m 2, 281 cases). The differences of preoperative clinical characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative data between the two groups were compared. Starting from transferring to the ICU and ending with the first successful extubation, The risk factors of postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation time ≥ 48 h in ATAAD patients were analyzed, and the predictive efficacy of related factors for postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation time ≥ 48 h in ATAAD patients was evaluated. Results:Compared with the non-obese group, the proportion of hypertension, diabetes, admission heart rate, admission systolic blood pressure, admission diastolic blood pressure and preoperative white blood cell count in the obese group were significantly increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamp time, operation time, red blood cell transfusion volume, invasive mechanical ventilation time, secondary operation rate and total hospitalization cost in the obese group were significantly higher than those in the non-obese group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, cardiopulmonary bypass time, ascending aortic cross-clamp time, operation time, age, hypertension, and red blood cell transfusion were related factors for postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation time ≥48 h in ATAAD patients ( P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that increased BMI ( OR=1.213, P<0.05) and increased age ( OR=1.020, P<0.05) were independent risk predictors of postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation time≥48 h in ATAAD patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve ( ROC) analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve ( AUC) of BMI for predicting the duration of postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation in ATAAD patients≥48 h was 0.682 ( P<0.05), and the best predictive cut-off value was 25.64 kg/m 2. Conclusion:BMI≥28kg/m 2 increases the difficulty of surgery and the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in ATAAD patients. BMI has a high predictive value for the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in ATAAD patients after surgery ≥48 h, and effective intervention measures can be formulated to improve the treatment effect of patients.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between positive asthma prediction index (API) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin (IL-13), IL-4, β 2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2), and type I Fc ε receptor β (FcER1B) genes in asthmatic children.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 102 asthmatic children under 5 years old admitted to Zhongshan Boai Hospital and Foshan First People′s Hospital (51 cases were API positive and 51 cases were API negative) from January 2020 to August 2023. Oral and buccal mucosal exfoliated cells were collected from the children, and genomic DNA was extracted using magnetic bead method. Four gene loci (IL-13 rs20541, IL-4 rs2243250, ADRB2 rs1042713, FcER1B rs569108) were genotyped using a matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between SNP typing at these four gene loci and API positivity in asthmatic children.Results:There was a statistically significant difference in the SNP typing and allele distribution frequency of IL-13 rs20541, IL-4 rs2243250, ADRB2 rs1042713, FcER1B rs569108 between the API positive and API negative groups of wheezing children (all P<0.05). Among API positive children, the proportion of IL-13 rs20541 site was higher in GG type, the proportion of IL-4 rs2243250 site was higher in TT type, the proportion of ADRB2 rs1042713 site was higher in AG type, and the proportion of FcER1B rs569108 site was higher in AA type; The results of logistic regression analysis showed that IL-13 rs20541 GG type, IL-4 rs2243250 TT type, FcER1B rs569108 AA type were associated with the risk of API positivity in asthmatic children (all P<0.05). Conclusions:IL-13, IL-4, and FcER1B genes are risk genes for the development of API positive wheezing in children under 5 years old. SNP typing of these genes can be used to evaluate the risk of API positivity in clinical practice.

The restoration of right ventricle dysfunction is essential to the maintenance of systemic circulation in patients after cardiac surgery.It also plays a significant part in planning surgical repair following the last stage of surgical palliation.Nevertheless,the complex geometry and wall motion of the right ventricle make it difficult to evaluate the right ventricle function with the noninvasive tools.Cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)is the gold standard of the most commonly used technology for cardiac imaging,which is necessary to be involved in regular surveillance for patients undergoing complicated cardiac surgery.The application of new CMR technology mainly includes 4D flow hemodynamic measurement,MR1 mapping and tracking technology to evaluate the right ventricular function by detecting the myocardial injury.Echocardiography is the first-line method of postoperative assessment and appropriate for all kinds of congenital heart disease.Speckle-tracking echocardiography has been further development in recent years.Cardiac computed tomography has prominent advantages in detecting the vessels and pulmonary lesions,which is often used as an alternative to MRI.The development of artificial intelligence in image processing technology has greatly improved the diagnostic and predictive value of imaging examination.By comparing the characteristics of CMR,echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography,this paper reviews the research progress of these three imaging methods in the evaluation of the postoperative right ventricle function in congenital heart disease.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Under the background of high-intensity fattening,probiotics have gradually become wide-ly used feed additives.It can inhibit the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria,maintain the microeco-logical balance in the digestive tract,and improve the host immune function.In order to screen lac-tic acid bacteria strains with potential probiotic effects,23 acid-producing strains were isolated from rumen fluid of healthy Duolang sheep by CaCO3-MRS solid medium.Safe strains were re-screened through primary screening and hemolysis tests.Acid tolerance tests and bile salt tests were used to screen the strains that were relatively adapted to the rumen environment.The survival rate of the strain M2 was 93.80％under pH3.0 and 59.72％under bile salt concentration of 0.30％and the survival rate is higher than other strains under high temperature conditions.Subsequently,morphological observation,molecular biological identification,testing of pathogen antagonism,antibiotic tolerance analysis,growth characteristics detection and other methods were used to fur-ther explore the characteristics of the strain.The results showed that the strain to be tested was Gram-positive bacillus.After 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison,the strain was identified as Lactobac illus salivus,which could be used as a candidate strain to develop probiotics.The research results laid a foundation for its application in Duolang sheep breeding.

Objective To investigate the correlation between thyroid function,neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet/lymphocyte ratio(PLR)and diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA).Methods A total of 272 diabetic patients admitted to the Department of Endocrinology,Anhui No.2 Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled in this study from January 2021 to March 2024 and divided into DKA group(n=74),diabetic ketosis group(DK group,n=100)and simple DM group(n=98)according to their disease conditions.Serum free triiodothyronine(FT3),free tetraiodothyronine(FT4),thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),FPG,HbA1c,anion gap(AG),white blood cells(WBC),neutrophils(N),platelets(PLT)and lymphocytes(L)were detected in each group,and NLR and PLR were calculated.The influence factors of DKA were analyzed by logistic regression,and the diagnostic value of FT3,NLR and PLR in DKA was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Hospitalization days,FPG,HbA1c,incidence of LT3S,AG,WBC,N,PLT,NLR,PLR were higher in DKA group than in DM and DK groups(P<0.05),Age,FT3,FT4,TSH,L were lower in DKA group than in DM and DK groups(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that FT3,AG,NLR and PLR were the influencing factors for DKA.ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of FT3,NLR,PLR and combined detection to predict DKA were 0.961,0.938,0.810 and 0.980,the sensitivity was 87.8%,90.5%,75.7%and 98.6%,the specificity was 95.5%,92.9%,76.3%,92.4%,and the combined detection was superior to the single detection.Conclusions FT3,NLR,PLR have a certain diagnostic value for DKA,and the combined detection of the three has a high diagnostic value,which can provide a reference for clinical diagnosis of DKA.
