Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by impaired neuromuscular transmission. Thymectomy is one of the therapeutic options for acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive myasthenia gravis patients. The quality of perioperative care is directly associated with surgical safety and patient outcomes. However, there is currently a lack of specialized nursing consensus or guidelines specifically addressing the care of these patients domestically or internationally. To promote the standardization and normalization of perioperative nursing care for myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy and to ensure treatment efficacy, a panel of 57 experts from relevant fields was convened. Based on evidence-based medicine and clinical practice experience, discussions were held on various aspects including condition assessment, nutritional support, medication management, and airway care, resulting in a consensus with 18 final recommendations by using the Delphi method through two rounds of expert consultation. This consensus aims to provide a scientific reference for the perioperative nursing care of myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of subanesthetic dose of esketamine on postoperative anxiety and recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS A total of 200 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Suzhou Ninth Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from January 2023 to December 2024 were randomly assigned to control group (n=100) and observation group (n=100). One minute before the initiation of anesthesia, patients in the control group received intravenous injections of Propofol emulsion injection, Sufentanil citrate injection, and Succinylcholine chloride injection. On this basis, patients in the observation group received an intravenous injection of Esketamine hydrochloride injection. The anxiety status of patients in both groups was compared, along with their general intraoperative conditions (including sufentanil dosage, duration of pneumoperitoneum, operative time, anesthesia time, and extubation time), postoperative recovery, incidence of adverse reactions, and the need for dezocine rescue analgesia. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure, entropy index (state entropy and response entropy), inflammatory marker levels [interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP)], numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain intensity were compared between the two groups at different time points. RESULTS No significant differences were found between the two groups in pneumoperitoneum duration, operative time, anesthesia time,extubation time, incidence of postoperative dry mouth, entropy index or length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed significantly lower postoperative STAI-S scores, reduced intraoperative sufentanil consumption, decreased incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting, and shivering, the need for dezocine rescue analgesia, as well as lower plasma IL-6 and CRP levels at 24 h after surgery, and NRS (P<0.05). The heart rate and mean arterial pressure of patients in the observation group at the start of surgery, end of surgery, and during extubation were all significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Subanesthetic dose of esketamine can effectively alleviate postoperative anxiety, reduce intraoperative opioid consumption, suppress postoperative inflammatory response, relieve postoperative pain, and promote recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of metformin (Met) on liver injury in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) rats by regulating the PI3K/AKT/PDGF signaling pathway. METHODS NASH model was constructed by feeding rats with a high- glucose and high-fat diet, and assigned into Model group, Met low-dose group (Met-L group, 100 mg/kg), Met medium-dose group (Met-M group, 200 mg/kg), Met high-dose group (Met-H group, 400 mg/kg), and high dose of Met+PI3K activator group (Met-H+740 Y-P group, 400 mg/kg Met+50 mg/kg 740 Y-P), with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 rats were regarded as the Control group. Each group of rats was orally administered/injected with the corresponding medication once a day for 6 consecutive weeks. The changes in body weight and liver index of rats were recorded and analyzed. The pathological damage [evaluation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS)], lipid deposition (calculation of the proportion of oil red O-positive staining area), and fibrosis (calculation of collagen deposition score) were observed in liver tissue of rats. The levels of inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in serum and liver tissue, the levels of serum lipid metabolism indicators [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)] and liver function indicators [aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine Δ 基金项目 武汉市知识创新专项项目(No.2022020801010588); aminotransferase (ALT)] were measured. The expression levels of PI3K/AKT/PDGF signaling pathway-related proteins and Caspase-3 in liver tissue of rats were determined. RESULTS Compared with the Control group, body weight, liver index, the levels of serum lipid metabolism indicators and liver function indicators, the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and liver tissue, the NAS, the proportion of oil red O-positive staining area, the collagen deposition fraction, and the levels of phosphorylated PI3K and AKT proteins, as well as the expression levels of PDGF and Caspase-3 proteins in liver tissue, were all significantly increased (P<0.05). The liver tissue showed severe pathological damage, characterized by an abundance of lipid droplets and pronounced collagen deposition. After the intervention with Met, the aforementioned quantitative indicators and pathological changes in rats were significantly improved in a dose- dependent manner (P<0.05). 740 Y-P could reverse the improvement effects of high dose of Met on the above indexes of rats (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Met can improve liver damage, and alleviate inflammatory reactions and liver fibrosis of NASH rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting PI3K/AKT/PDGF signaling pathway.

Based on the "Qi-blood-meridians" system, it is proposed that recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for arrhythmia originates from damage to the heart and injury to the meridians caused by thermal burns. Disorder of qi movement, blood obstruction and heat constraint are the prerequisites for recurrence, while internal consumption of deficient qi, yin damage and scarce blood are key factors in frequent episodes. Latent pathogen of both phlegm and stasis, along with condensation of pathogenic yin, is the main cause of disease progression. Accordingly, self-made Tong Xin Beverage (通心饮) with 18 herbs is used throughout the postoperative intervention process to nourish the heart, unblock the meridians, restore vessels in balance of yin and yang. Self-made Qingxin Dingji Decoction (清心定悸汤) can be used to promote qi movement, diffuse stagnation, relieve heat and activate blood circulation so as to facilitate early recovery. Self-made Peiben Yangxin Decoction (培本养心汤) can boost qi and nourish yin, harmonize the ying (营) level and nourish blood, thereby improving long-term prognosis. In addition, Shiwei Wendan Decoction combined (十味温胆汤) with Taoren Honghua Decoction (桃仁红花煎) resolves phlegm, dissipates masses, removes stasis, and softens hardness, which can be used to prevent disease aggravation. These approaches aim to provide ideas and references for clinical practice.

To investigate the efficacy of amiodarone and lidocaine in cardiac arrest patients. We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases through to January 1, 2024. All studies comparing lidocaine, amiodarone, and placebo for cardiac arrest were included. Meta-analysis was performed, and the primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes was survival to 24 h or hospital admission. Three RCTs and seven non-randomized intervention studies were included. Compared with placebo, amiodarone can improve the likelihood of survival to 24 h/hospital admission ( Limited RCTs directly compared amiodarone and lidocaine. No significant difference was found between amiodarone and lidocaine in improving 24 h/admission survival rate in RCTs. While compared to amiodarone and placebo, lidocaine can improve 24 h/admission survival rate and discharge survival rate in non-randomized intervention studies.

ObjectiveThis study leverages structural data from antigen-antibody complexes of the influenza A virus neuraminidase (NA) protein to investigate the spatial recognition relationship between the antigenic epitopes and antibody paratopes. MethodsStructural data on NA protein antigen-antibody complexes were comprehensively collected from the SAbDab database, and processed to obtain the amino acid sequences and spatial distribution information on antigenic epitopes and corresponding antibody paratopes. Statistical analysis was conducted on the antibody sequences, frequency of use of genes, amino acid preferences, and the lengths of complementarity determining regions (CDR). Epitope hotspots for antibody binding were analyzed, and the spatial structural similarity of antibody paratopes was calculated and subjected to clustering, which allowed for a comprehensively exploration of the spatial recognition relationship between antigenic epitopes and antibodies. The specificity of antibodies targeting different antigenic epitope clusters was further validated through bio-layer interferometry (BLI) experiments. ResultsThe collected data revealed that the antigen-antibody complex structure data of influenza A virus NA protein in SAbDab database were mainly from H3N2, H7N9 and H1N1 subtypes. The hotspot regions of antigen epitopes were primarily located around the catalytic active site. The antibodies used for structural analysis were primarily derived from human and murine sources. Among murine antibodies, the most frequently used V-J gene combination was IGHV1-12*01/IGHJ2*01, while for human antibodies, the most common combination was IGHV1-69*01/IGHJ6*01. There were significant differences in the lengths and usage preferences of heavy chain CDR amino acids between antibodies that bind within the catalytic active site and those that bind to regions outside the catalytic active site. The results revealed that structurally similar antibodies could recognize the same epitopes, indicating a specific spatial recognition between antibody and antigen epitopes. Structural overlap in the binding regions was observed for antibodies with similar paratope structures, and the competitive binding of these antibodies to the epitope was confirmed through BLI experiments. ConclusionThe antigen epitopes of NA protein mainly ditributed around the catalytic active site and its surrounding loops. Spatial complementarity and electrostatic interactions play crucial roles in the recognition and binding of antibodies to antigenic epitopes in the catalytic region. There existed a spatial recognition relationship between antigens and antibodies that was independent of the uniqueness of antibody sequences, which means that antibodies with different sequences could potentially form similar local spatial structures and recognize the same epitopes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) on the occurrence, development of psoriasis-like inflammation in mice, and the relative immune mechanisms. MethodsHealthy C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (Control), psoriasis model group (IMQ), and HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966-treated psoriasis model group (IMQ+RGFP966). One day prior to the experiment, the back hair of the mice was shaved. After a one-day stabilization period, the mice in Control group was treated with an equal amount of vaseline, while the mice in IMQ group was treated with imiquimod (62.5 mg/d) applied topically on the back to establish a psoriasis-like inflammation model. The mice in IMQ+RGFP966 group received intervention with a high dose of the HDAC3-selective inhibitor RGFP966 (30 mg/kg) based on the psoriasis-like model. All groups were treated continuously for 5 d, during which psoriasis-like inflammation symptoms (scaling, erythema, skin thickness), body weight, and mental status were observed and recorded, with photographs taken for documentation. After euthanasia, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess the effect of RGFP966 on the skin tissue structure of the mice, and skin thickness was measured. The mRNA and protein expression levels of HDAC3 in skin tissues were detected using reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot (WB), respectively. Flow cytometry was employed to analyze neutrophils in peripheral blood and lymph nodes, CD4+ T lymphocytes, CD8+ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood, and IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphocytes. Additionally, spleen CD4+ T lymphocyte expression of HDAC3, CCR6, CCR8, and IL-17A secretion levels were analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the localization and expression levels of HDAC3, IL-17A, and IL-10 in skin tissues. ResultsCompared with the Control group, the IMQ group exhibited significant psoriasis-like inflammation, characterized by erythema, scaling, and skin wrinkling. Compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 exacerbated psoriasis-like inflammatory symptoms, leading to increased hyperkeratosis. The psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) skin symptom scores were higher in the IMQ group than those in the Control group, and the scores were further elevated in the IMQ+RGFP966 group compared to the IMQ group. Skin thickness measurements showed a trend of IMQ+RGFP966>IMQ>Control. The numbers of neutrophils in the blood and lymph nodes increased sequentially in the Control, IMQ, and IMQ+RGFP966 groups, with a similar trend observed for CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in the blood. In skin tissues, compared with the Control group, the mRNA and protein levels of HDAC3 decreased in the IMQ group, but RGFP966 did not further reduce these expressions. HDAC3 was primarily located in the nucleus. Compared with the Control group, the nuclear HDAC3 content decreased in the skin tissues of the IMQ group, and RGFP966 further reduced nuclear HDAC3. Compared with the Control and IMQ groups, RGFP966 treatment decreased HDAC3 expression in splenic CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. RGFP966 treatment increased the expression of CCR6 and CCR8 in splenic CD4+ T cells and enhanced IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood and splenic CD4+ T lymphocytes. Additionally, compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 reduced IL-10 protein levels and upregulated IL-17A expression in skin tissues. ConclusionRGFP966 exacerbates psoriatic-like inflammatory responses by inhibiting HDAC3, increasing the secretion of the cytokine IL-17A, and upregulating the expression of chemokines CCR8 and CCR6.
