Objective To study the status of diabetic foot and its related factors in Hanzhong area in recent years, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and management of diabetic foot complicated by type 2 diabetes. Methods A stratified sampling method was used to select 528 patients with type 2 diabetes among permanent residents in Hanzhong from April 2016 to April 2022. Relevant medical history and laboratory examination data were collected, and the incidence of diabetic foot was calculated. The influence of related factors on the risk of diabetic foot was analyzed by regression model. Results Among 528 subjects in this study, the disease course and body type of T2DM showed that male patients had significantly longer disease, and the proportion of overweight and obesity was higher, P<0.05. The incidence of diabetic foot was 16.29% (86 cases). The proportion of male patients and female patients was 24.66% and 5.93%(χ2=27.516,P<0.05). The proportion of male patients complicated with diabetic foot was higher than that of female patients (P<0.05). At the same time, the incidence of Wagner Grade I was higher in males than in females (P<0.05). The effects of potential factors on the risk of diabetic foot were discussed by gender. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the risk factors of diabetic foot in male T2DM patients included: Increased course of disease, increased age, poor blood glucose control, increased total cholesterol level, increased BMI level and increased platelet to lymphocyte ratio . Potential risk factors in women include increased course of disease, age, poor blood sugar control (increased glycosylated hemoglobin levels) and increased platelet to lymphocyte ratios in all cases(P<0.05). Conclusion The current prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes patients complicated with diabetes foot in Hanzhong area is 16.29%, which is still high , and the prevalence rate of men is significantly higher than that of women. Older age, long duration of T2DM, poor blood glucose control, increased total cholesterol level, increased blood uric acid level, decreased urine pH value, and increased platelet lymphocyte ratio are potential risk factors for diabetes foot. Male patients should also pay attention to the occurrence of overweight and obesity tendency to reduce the risk of diabetes foot.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between long-term learning and memory impairment induced by sevoflurane anesthesia and postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95)/Kalirin-7/Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) signaling pathway in neonatal rats.Methods:Sixty SPF male Wistar rats, aged 7 days, weighing 12-18 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), 1% sevoflurane anesthesia for 2 h group (group S 1), 1% sevoflurane anesthesia for 4 h group (group S 2), 2% sevoflurane anesthesia for 2 h group (group S 3) and 2% sevoflurane anesthesia for 4 h group (group S 4). Morris water maze test was performed at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after anesthesia.The rats were sacrificed after the last Morris water maze test, and the hippocampal tissues were obtained for microscopic examination of the pathological changes (using HE staining), neuron apoptosis (by TUNEL staining), and expression of PSD-95, Kalirin-7 and Rac1 protein and mRNA (by Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). The apoptosis rate was calculated. Results:Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the time of stay in the target quadrant was shortened, and the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons was increased at 4th, 8th and 12th weeks after anesthesia, phosphorylated Rac1/Rac1 ratio was decreased, and the expression of PSD-95 and Kalirin-7 protein and mRNA was down-regulated in S 1, S 2, S 3 and S 4 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group S 4, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, the time of stay in the target quadrant was prolonged, and the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons was decreased, phosphorylated Rac1/Rac1 ratio was increased, the expression of PSD-95 and Kalirin-7 protein and mRNA was up-regulated, and the histopathological changes of hippocampal tissues were attenuated in S 1, S 2 and S 3 groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which sevoflurane anesthesia induces long-term learning and memory impairment may be related to inhibition of activity of PSD-95/Kalirin-7/Rac1 signaling pathway in hippocampi of neonatal rats.

Objective:Intensive physicians have relatively insufficient knowledge and experience in treating patients with decompensated schistosomiasis cirrhosis (DSC) admitted in intensive care unit (ICU), but are relatively familiar with patients with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis (DAC). For this purpose, the clinical characteristics and prognosis of these patients were compared and analyzed.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed from January 2013 to May 2019 in our hospital and Quzhou People’s hospital. The demographic data, laboratory examination, liver function, Child-Pugh classification, complications of cirrhosis, ultrasonic imaging gastroscopy manifestations were recorded and analyzed. In addition, the treatments and prognosis were also compared.Results:A total of 30 patients (12 males and 18 females) with DSC (aged 57-88) and 31 patients with DAC (aged 41-75) were collected. Compared with patients with DAC, DSC patients were more likely to have coronary heart disease, lower proportion of hyponatremia and lower need of ventilator support. Although the incidences of jaundice and hepatic encephalopathy were significantly reduced ( P<0.05), but parameters of liver function and coagulation were no significant differences in both groups ( P>0.05). B-mode ultrasound of liver in patients with DSC displayed more proportion of patchy and diffuse echo changes and liver volume reduction ( P<0.05), whereas the manifestations of gastroscope in both groups were similar. No significant difference in main treatment measures like uses of somatostatin and three-chamber and two-capsule tube was observed. After treatment, the stop time of gastrointestinal bleeding was similar between groups of DAC and DSC [1.25 (0.5-4.125) days vs. 1.75 (1-2.375) days] ( P>0.05). In addition, the length of ICU stay in DAC group was similar to DSC group [(4.96±3.58) days vs. (3.82±1.99) days], so did the 28-day mortality [14.29% (2/14) vs. 18.18% (2/11)] (both P>0.05). Conclusions:In genenal, patients with decompensated schistosomiasis cirrhosis have the similar clinical characteristics, major biochemical indicators and accessory examination results like ultrasound and gastroscopic examinations to patients with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis. After timely treatments, both of these patients could achieve a good prognosis.
5. Progress in microenvironment and chemoresistance of Ovarian cancer
Tumor 2020;40(1):68-75
Among all gynecological tumors, ovarian cancer is the third most common cancer but the most lethal one. Currently, the standard first-line treatment for ovarian cancer is cytoreductive surgery combined with platinum and paclitaxel chemotherapy. Although the patients with ovarian cancer respond to the standard therapeutic approach and gain a high remission rate, the most patients relapse after about 2 years of complete remission, the recurrence rate is as high as 80%. The patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer are resistant to almost all chemotherapy drugs due to the acquired resistance. Multidrug resistance to chemotherapy is a major cause of treatment failure. Therefore, it is an urgent problem to reveal the molecular mechanism of ovarian cancer resistance. In recent years, tumor microenvironment as an emerge concept has provided a new perspective for the study of tumorigenesis, progression and drug-resistance. Ovarian cancer is characterized by a unique tumor microenvironment that impairs immune surveillance and mediates therapy resistance. Explaining the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance from the perspective of ovarian cancer microenvironment is helpful to find effective targets reversing the drug resistance of ovarian cancer. This review first introduces the general situation of drug resistance and microenvironment of ovarian cancer, and then focuses on the research progress in the relationship of various components of ovarian cancer microenvironment with drug resistance, in order to explain the occurrence mechanisms of ovarian cancer resistance and find effective targets in the microenvironment to solve the problem of clinical drug resistance. In the end, the forward research directions in this field are prospected in this review.

Objective To explore the clinical value of pulse indicates continuous cardiac output (PICCO) in fluid resuscitation of patients with ARDS complicated with septic shock caused by severe pneumonia. Methods Thirty-nine ARDS patients complicated with septic shock caused by severe pneumonia were divided into two groups, namely PICCO group and control group. The data of demographics and clinical findings of both groups were collected. At the same time, the data of serum lactic acid, Pa02/Fi02, MAP, the volume of fluid input, the amount of vasoactive agent, APACHE Ⅱ Scores of both groups at 6 hours and 24 hours after admission were collected, and the data of EVLWI, PVPI, CI, SVRI, GEDVI in PICCO group were documented at admission and 24 hours later, as well as the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the respiratory ICU and 30-day mortality were recorded. SPSS software of version 21.0 was used to statistically analyze the data. Results ① There were no statistically significant differences in in age, gender, APACHEII score and other relevant physiological parameters between two groups.② Compared with control group at 6 h and 24 h, the PICCO-guided treatment significantly reduced the level of Lac, elevated the MAP value and decreased the volume of fluid input (all P<0.05) At the same time, this approach improved 24 h-Pa02/ Fi02(P=0.001).More importantly, the PICCO-guided treatment significantly reduced the duration of mechanical ventilation[(8.83 ± 3.57) vs (13.54 ± 4.06)d, P=0.000],shortened the stay in the respiratory ICU[(10.12 ± 4.46) vs (14.10 ± 5.65)d,P=0.020]and decreased the 30d mortality 15.79% vs 50%,p=0.041. ③ In PICCO group, EVLWI and PVPI were significantly decreased[(12.27 ± 4.42) vs (16.11 ± 5.99) mL/ kg,P=0.028; (3.66 ± 1.71) vs (6.88 ± 2.93) mL/m2, P=0.000]; respectively and SVRI and GEDVI were significantly increased[(1212.70 ± 304.10) vs (958.50 ± 192.40)kPa·s/(min·m2),P=0.004; (676.57 ± 77.86) vs (616.33 ± 57.49)mL/(min · M2),P=0.010]; respectively at 24h compared those at admission. Conclusions Compared with conventional fluid resuscitation, PICCO-oriented treatment can quickly improve the relevant physiological parameters, direct the fluid resuscitation more accurately, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation as well as the stay in ICU, and decrease the 30d mortality in patients with ARDS complicated with septic shock caused by severe pneumonia. Therefore, PICCO-oriented fluid resuscitation has noticeable clinical value, and be worthy of further clinical application especially in this kind of patients.
