Objective:To compare the effects of enhanced heat preservation strategies and conventional heat preservation strategies in the operation room on body temperature, coagulation function, and myocardial injury in patients with cervical spinal cord injuries.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 160 patients with cervical spinal cord injuries admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University and Affiliated Honghui Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from February to October 2022, including 82 males and 78 females, aged 38-64 years [(50.6±8.7)years]. Injured segments included C 3 in 19 patients, C 4 in 33, C 5 in 39, C 6 in 38, and C 7 in 31. According to American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification, 10 patients were classified into grade A, 83 grade B, 39 grade C, and 28 grade D. All the patients underwent cervical laminoplasty, decompression and bone graft fusion surgery. According to different heat preservation strategies intraoperatively, the patients were divided into conventional heat preservation group ( n=80) and enhanced heat preservation group ( n=80). The body temperature changes before surgery, at 2 hours during surgery, immediately after surgery, at 2 and 24 hours after surgery were compared between the two groups. The changes of coagulation function before surgery and at 4 hours after surgery were compared between the two groups, including the prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). The incidence of myocardial injury and the number of patients with myocardial injury measured by the indicators of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) at 48 hours after surgery. Before surgery and at 14 days after surgery, ASIA classification was used to evaluate the neurological functions, including sensory and motor functions between the two groups. The incidence of cardiovascular events at 12 months after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results:A total of 145 patients were followed up for 12-18 months [(15.7±1.6)months]. At 12 months after operation, there were 7 patients in the enhanced heat preservation group were lost to follow-up, compared to 8 patients in the conventional heat preserration group. There was no statistically significant difference in body temperature between the two groups before surgery or at 24 hours after surgery ( P>0.05). At 2 hours during surgery, immediately after surgery and at 2 hours after surgery, the body temperature was (36.90±0.12)℃, (37.00±0.06)℃, and (37.16±0.06)℃ in the enhanced heat preservation group, which were significantly higher than those in the conventional heat preservation group [(36.56±0.03)℃, (36.74±0.08)℃, and (36.84±0.08)℃] ( P<0.01). The serum levels of PT, TT and APTT were not significantly different between the two groups before surgery ( P>0.05), while they were (13.1±1.2)seconds, (19.2±1.1)seconds, and (36.2±3.3)seconds in the enhanced heat preservation group at 4 hours after surgery, which were significantly lower than those in the conventional heat preservation group [(14.3±1.0)seconds, (20.2±1.1)seconds, and (38.7±3.4)seconds] ( P<0.01). The incidence of myocardial injury in the enhanced heat preservation group was 5.0% (4/80) at 48 hours after surgery, which was lower than 12.5% (12/80) in the conventional heat preservation group ( P<0.05). With cTnI as the indicator of myocardial injury, there were 2 patients [2.6%(2/76)] with myocardial injury in the enhanced heat preservation group, which was much lower than 8 patients [11.8%(8/68)] in the conventional heat preservation group ( P<0.05). With hs-cTnT as the indicator of myocardial injury, 8 patients [10.5%(8/76)] in the enhanced heat preservation group experienced myocardial injury, similar with 10 patients [14.7%(10/68)] in the conventional heat preservation group ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the ASIA scores of the sensory and motor functions between the two groups before surgery and at 14 days after surgery ( P>0.05). The incidence of cardiovascular events at 12 months after surgery in the conventional heat preservation group was 27.8% (20/72), which was significantly higher than 9.6% (7/73) in the enhanced heat preservation group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For patients with cervical spinal cord injuries, compared with conventional heat preservation strategies, the enhanced heat preservation strategies in the operating room can improve the patients′ core body temperature and coagulation function, and significantly reduce the incidence of myocardial injury and cardiovascular events.

Objective:To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the blood-brain barrier via the silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1)/Forkhead box O1(FoxO1) signaling pathway after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion using a rat model.Methods:Forty Wistar rats were randomly assigned into sham, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CIR), CIR+ HBO and CIR+ HBO+ EX527 groups, each of 10. The cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was established in all groups except the sham group by right middle cerebral artery occlusion using the modified thread-occlusion method. The sham group was not ligated. Both the CIR+ HBO and CIR+ HBO+ EX527 groups were given HBO 1, 9, 21, 45 and 69 hours after the reperfusion. The CIR+ HBO+ EX527 group was additionally injected with 5mg/kg of EX527(a SIRT1inhibitor) peritoneally 4, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the reperfusion. Then 2% Evens blue (EB) was injected into the tail vein an hour before the rats were sacrificed. The content of EB and the expression of SIRT1, FoxO1, ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-5 mRNA and their proteins were determined using spectrophotometry, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions and Western blotting.Results:The average EB content of the hippocampal brain tissue from the CIR, CIR+ HBO and CIR+ HBO+ EX527 rats was significantly greater than the Sham group′s average 72h after reperfusion. The average expression of SIRT1, FoxO1, ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-5 mRNA and their proteins was significantly lower, with the CIR + HBO + EX 527 group′s average significantly lower than that of the CIR+ HBO group.Conclusions:HBO can increase the expression of tight junction protein via the SIRT1/FoxO1 pathway. It helps to protect the blood-brain barrier in CIR injury situations.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects and influence factors of intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs in the treatment of idiopathic choroidal neovascularization (ICNV).Methods:This retrospective study involved 27 patients (27 eyes) with ICNV from July 2012 to July 2015. Patients received intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg), ranibizumab (0.05 mg), additional injection was provided if it was needed. The average follow-up time was 168 weeks. The recovery of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central foveal retinal thickness (CRT) of the affected eye was observed. Follow up once a month after the initial treatment until the lesion was completely absorbed or scarred (the first follow-up period). Follow up every 12 weeks was performed to observe the recurrence of the lesions (the second stage of long-term follow-up). One month after the last injection of the first follow-up period, according to the regression of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), the affected eyes were divided into a significant improvement group (significant improvement group) and an insignificant improvement group (non-significant improvement group)), to analyze the effects of age, course of disease, type of drugs, number of injections, baseline BCVA and CRT on the regression of CNV lesions. According to the results of long-term follow-up, the eyes were divided into recurrence group and non-recurrence group, and the factors affecting the recurrence of CNV lesions were analyzed. Measurement data between groups was compared by using independent sample t test or non-parametric test; count data was compared by using χ2 test. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the regression and recurrence of the lesion. Results:At baseline and 1 month after the last injection in the first stage, the average BCVA of the eyes were 55.70±15.21 and 73.59±12.08 letters; CRT was 338.3±89.32 and 264.5±47.47 μm, respectively. The BCVA and CRT of the affected eyes were compared at the two time points, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z= -3.886, -4.061; P<0.001). The BCVA of the eyes in the significant improvement group and the insignificant improvement group were 65.38±17.27 and 51.63±12.61 letters, respectively; the difference between the two groups of BCVA was statistically significant ( t=-2.316, P=0.029). The results of long-term follow-up showed that of the 27 eyes, 6 eyes had recurrence; the average recurrence time was 90.83±49.02 weeks. After another intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs, the CNV lesions was resolved. The average injection times of the relapsed group and the non-relapsed group were 3.67±0.816 and 2.24±0.768, respectively. The average injection times of the relapsed group was significantly higher than that of the non-relapsed group, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.253, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of eyes at baseline and CRT at the last follow-up ( Z=-1.342,-1.313; P=0.195, 0.195). Conclusion:Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs can effectively increase the regression rate of BCVA and CNV lesions in ICNV eyes; high baseline visual acuity indicates better CNV lesion regression after treatment. Relapsed patients can be effectively improved after re-treatment with anti-VEGF drugs, and CNV recurrence has no significant effect on the final prognosis.

Medical record information is the core data source for diagnosis related groups(DRG)payment, and high-quality of medical record information is the foundation for DRG payment. The development of medical record management towards medical record information management, pushes up the demand for high-quality medical record information management professionals in hospitals. The conventional practice of professional training had resulted in such setbacks as professionals mismatch, long pre-employment training period, and large demand for continuing education. Based on the triple helix model theory, the study established a production-education integration training mode of university-government-hospital for medical record information management professionals. Capacity development was set as the goal and job demand as the guidance, for effectively integrating the educational resources, and promoting the model of " posts linked to training, employment following graduation" production-education integration training. The aim is to expand the quantity of talent team and improve the quality of talent training, thus effectively easing the shortage of medical record information management professionals.
