Objective:To analyze functional changes in macrophages in mouse models of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) by modulating indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) .Methods:Forty specific-pathogen-free female ICR mice were randomly divided into 4 groups using a complete randomization method: a blank group, a VVC model group, a VVC model + 1-methyltryptophan (1-MT) group (referred to as the 1-MT group), a VVC model + interferon-γ (IFN-γ) group (referred to as the IFN-γ group), with 10 mice in each group. Except for the blank group, all the mice were injected subcutaneously with estradiol benzoate oil solution in the abdomen every other day for 6 days prior to modeling to induce pseudoestrus; after successful induction of pseudoestrus, the mice were inoculated vaginally with Candida albicans suspensions at a concentration of 2 × 10 9 CFU/ml once a day for 5 days to establish VVC mouse models, and subcutaneous injections of estradiol benzoate oil solution were continued simultaneously to maintain the pseudoestrus state; 1 day before inoculation with fungal suspensions, mice in the 1-MT group and IFN-γ group were pretreated with 1-MT and IFN-γ respectively, followed by once-daily same intervention for 6 consecutive days; mice in the blank group and VVC model group were intraperitoneally injected with physiological saline solution once a day for 6 consecutive days. On the 5th day of modeling, vaginal conditions in mice were observed and vaginal symptoms were scored; the vaginal lavage fluid was collected for smear microscopy and fungal colony counting; then, the mice were sacrificed, the vaginal tissues were collected and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining, and the expression of IDO1 and the macrophage surface marker F4/80 was determined in the vaginal tissues by an immunofluorescence method; real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to determine mRNA expression levels of IDO1, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and arginase 1 (Arg-1) in the vaginal tissues, and Western blot analysis to determine the IDO1 protein expression in the vaginal tissues. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the differences in indices among groups, and Tukey test was used for multiple comparisons. Results:Smear microscopic examination of the vaginal lavage fluid on the 5th day of modeling showed elongated hyphae with a few spores in the VVC model group, a large number of elongated hyphae aggregating in clusters with surrounding spores in the 1-MT group, and a few thin and short hyphae with a large number of spores in the IFN-γ group. Compared with the VVC model group (360.0 ± 15.9), the fungal colony counts in the vaginal lavage fluid significantly increased in the 1-MT group (523.7 ± 67.7, P = 0.002), but significantly decreased in the IFN-γ group (258.3 ± 27.57, P = 0.026). HE staining and PAS staining showed small abscess formation in the epidermis and predominant infiltration of neutrophils throughout the epidermal and dermal layers with a large number of spores and a few hyphae in the VVC model group; thickened epidermis and diffuse inflammatory infiltration predominated by neutrophils in the dermis were seen in the 1-MT group, with a large number of hyphae and spores aggregating into clusters, which were predominated by hyphae; in the IFN-γ group, spores aggregated in the epidermis without obvious hyphae, and a small amount of inflammatory cells predominated by neutrophils infiltrated the dermis. Immunofluorescence assay revealed that the relative fluorescence intensities of IDO1 and F4/80 were highest in the IFN-γ group and the 1-MT group, respectively. Western blot analysis revealed that the IDO1 protein expression in the VVC model group was significantly higher than that in the blank group ( P < 0.001) and the 1-MT group ( P < 0.05), but significantly lower than that in the IFN-γ group ( P < 0.05). qPCR showed that iNOS mRNA expression significantly increased in the VVC model group compared with the blank group ( P < 0.01), and increased in the IFN-γ group compared with the blank group, VVC model group and 1-MT group (all P < 0.001); Arg-1 mRNA expression significantly increased in the VVC model group compared with the blank group ( P < 0.001) and IFN-γ group ( P < 0.01), and increased in the 1-MT group compared with the blank group, VVC model group, and IFN-γ group (all P < 0.001) . Conclusion:In the VVC mouse models, upregulation of IDO1 may cause macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype, and inhibition of IDO1 may cause increased macrophage recruitment and exacerbate the inflammatory response.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) characteristics of heart involvement in patients with Fabry disease (AFD).Methods:From January 2018 to March 2021, eight AFD patients [3 males and 5 females, mean age (50±11) years old, range 26-60 years old] confirmed by genetic testing or pathology in Fuwai Hospital were retrospectively included in this study. At the same time, sixteen patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) [6 males and 10 females, mean age (46±15) years old] and 16 healthy individuals [6 males and 10 females, mean age (51±11) years old] were included as controls. The clinical baseline data and CMR data of the patients were collected and analyzed. The CMR data were analyzed using the software CVI42, with the corresponding parameters automatically generated. One-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the differences in the parameters among the three groups. Independent-samples t test, Fisher precise test or Mann-Whitney U test were used for the comparison between each two groups. Results:Statistically significant difference was found in renal insufficiency between the HCM group and the AFD group; No other significant difference was found in other clinical factors and ECG results (all P>0.05). CMR results showed that in the AFD group, there were 5 cases with symmetric or roughly symmetric hypertrophy, and 3 with asymmetric hypertrophy. The late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) showed myocardial enhancement in 5 patients, mainly presenting as multiple intermural enhancement, and partially as local subendocardial enhancement. In the HCM group, fourteen cases suffered mainly asymmetric ventricular septal thickening, with or without thickening of other parts of left ventricular wall; and 2 cases had thickening of middle and distal part of the left ventricle. The LGE showed myocardial enhancement in 14 patients, which manifested as focal or patchy enhancement in hypertrophic myocardium, including focal enhancement in the right ventricular insertion of ventricular septum (more common) and subendocardial enhancement in the middle and far segments of left ventricle. Statistically significant difference was found in the differences between the left atrial anterior posterior diameter, the maximum wall thickness of left ventricular, the left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI) and the native T 1 value among the three groups (all P<0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the left atrial anterior posterior diameter and the maximum wall thickness of left ventricular between AFD group and HCM group ( P>0.05). The LVMI in AFD group was higher than that in healthy group and HCM group (all P<0.05). Significant difference was found in the native T 1 value among the three groups, with the native T 1 value of the AFD group [(1 177.4±46.0) ms] was significantly lower than that of the healthy group [(1 244.5±34.3) ms] and the HCM group [(1 278.8±41.6) ms], with ( F=13.10, P<0.001). Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of AFD and HCM are quite similar. When AFD is suspected, CMR imaging should be the first choice for imaging examination. Especially, T 1 mapping imaging can provide important information for the diagnosis of AFD.

Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2022;42(7):836-840
Objective:To evalaute the efficacy of butorphanol mixed with different doses of hydromorphone in improving patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after secondary cesarean section.Methods:Two hundred American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱsingleton pregnant parturients, aged 18-45 yr, at 37-42 week gestation, with body mass index≤30 kg/m 2, undergoing elective secondary cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, were allocated to one of 4 groups ( n=50 each) using a random number table method: butorphanol (group B) and butorphanol mixed with different doses of hydromorphone groups (group BH 1, group BH 2 and group BH 3). Flurbiprofen 50 mg, butorphanol 1 mg and granisetron 3 mg were intravenously injected after delivery during operation.The analgesic pump was connected and turned on at the end of operation.The PCIA solution contained butorphanol 0.24 mg/kg and granisetron 6 mg in group B, butorphanol 0.24 mg/kg and hydromorphone 0.06 mg/kg and granisetron 6 mg in group BH 1, butorphanol 0.24 mg/kg and hydromorphone 0.09 mg/kg and granisetron 6 mg in group BH 2, butorphanol 0.24 mg/kg and hydromorphone 0.12 mg/kg and granisetron 6 mg in group BH 3.The PCIA solution was diluted with normal saline to 150 ml, and the patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump was set up to deliver a 3.0 ml bolus dose with a 15-min lockout interval and background infusion at 2.5 ml/h in all the four groups.The degree of pain was evaluated using the VAS score.When the VAS score>5 points after pressuring analgesia pump at rest, flurbiprofen axetil 50 mg was intravenously injected for rescue analgesia.VAS scores during movement, at rest and during uterine contraction and observer′s assessment of alertness/sedation scale score were recorded at 3, 6, 24 and 48 h after operation.The requirement for rescue analgesia, effective pressing times of PCA, overall satisfaction score, OAA/S score<5, adverse reactions and time to the first flatus were recorded within 48 h after operation. Results:Compared with group B, VAS scores in different states were significantly decreased after operation, the effective pressing times of PCA were decreased within 48 h after surgery, and the overall satisfaction score was increased in BH 1, BH 2 and BH 3 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group BH 1, no significant change was found in VAS score in different states after operation in group BH 2 ( P>0.05), and VAS score was significantly decreased at rest after operation in group BH 3 ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS scores between group BH 2 and group BH 3 ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the requirement for rescue analgesia, effective pressing times of PCA and overall satisfaction of the puerperae among BH 1, BH 2 and BH 3 groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the time to the first flatus after operation, requirement for rescue analgesia and incidence of observe′s assessment of alterness/sedation scale score<5 and adverse reactions among the four groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with butorphanol alone, butorphanol mixed with hydromorphone is helpful in reducing maternal pain and improving the overall satisfaction, with fewer adverse reactions.Butorphanol 0.24 mg/kg mixed with hydromorphone 0.09 mg/kg is recommended.

Objective:To describe the trends of loss of muscle fiber thickness of the arm and calf.Methods:From April 2019 to July 2019, 58 patients admitted to ICU of Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled. During ICU stay, the muscle fiber thickness in bilateral upper arm (biceps brachii) and bilateral calf (gastrocephus muscle) were measured by bedside color ultrasound every day.Results:The muscle fiber thickness of biceps and gastrocnemius on the left and right were (1.52 ± 0.37), (1.50 ± 0.34), (1.53±0.39), (1.51 ± 0.37) mm, respectively. The thickness of muscle fibers were (1.45 ± 0.35), (1.46 ± 0.37), (1.44±0.33), (1.41 ± 0.32) mm, which were significantly decreased in 48 h admitted to ICU ( t values were 2.106-4.711, P<0.05 or 0.01); and (1.43 ± 0.36), (1.44 ± 0.36), (1.44±0.32), (1.39 ± 0.32) mm in 72 h, which were significantly decreased than 24 h admitted to ICU ( t values were2.029-4.504, P<0.05 or 0.01). During 1 week admission to ICU , the muscle fiber thickness showed a continuous trend of decline, and the muscle fiber thickness of the left biceps, right biceps, left gastrocnemius and right gastrocnemius decreased by 8.38% (0.13/1.55), 10.19% (0.16/1.57), 9.87% (0.15/1.52), 11.11% (0.17/1.53), respectively compared with the ICU admission. The muscle fiber thickness of the left biceps, right biceps, left gastrocnemius and right gastrocnemius decreased by 9.87% (0.15/1.52), 9.33% (0.14/1.50), 9.15% (0.14/1.53), 11.26% (0.17/1.51), respectively. Conclusion:Muscle attenuation can be observed within 48h after ICU entry, and it tends to decrease with the extension of the length of hospital stay.

Our previous works disclosed the contributing role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and dopaminergic inhibition by lysine dimethyltransferase G9a/Glp complex in peripheral nerve injury-induced hypersensitivity. We herein propose that the proinflammatory cytokine MIF participates in the regulation of neuropathic hypersensitivity by interacting with and suppressing the descending dopaminergic system. The lumbar spinal cord (L-SC) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) are two major locations with significant upregulation of MIF after chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve, and they display time-dependent changes, along with a behavioral trajectory. Correspondingly, dopamine (DA) content shows the reverse characteristic change to MIF with a time-dependent curve in post-surgical behavior. The levels of both MIF and DA are reversed by the MIF tautomerase inhibitor ISO-1, and a negative relationship exists between MIF and DA. The reversed role of ISO-1 also affects tyrosine hydroxylase expression. Furthermore, CCI induces Th promoter CpG site methylation in the L-SC and VTA areas, and this effect could be abated by ISO-1 administration. G9a/SUV39H1 and H3K9me2/H3K9me3 enrichment within the Th promoter region following CCI in the L-SC and VTA was also decreased by ISO-1. In cultured dopaminergic neurons, rMIF enhanced the recruitment of G9a and SUV39H1, followed by an increase in H3K9me2/H3K9me3. These molecular changes correspondingly exhibited alterations in Th promoter CpG site methylation and pain behaviors. In summary, MIF functions as a braking factor in curbing dopaminergic descending inhibition in peripheral nerve injury-induced hypersensitivity by mediating Th gene methylation through G9a/SUV39H1-associated H3K9 methylation.

Objective To observe the analgesic efficacy of epidural morphine for postpartum perineal pain in patients undergoing episiotomy.Methods After institutional reviewing board approval and patient consent,a total of 145 parturients requesting epidural labor analgesia and under-going episiotomy were randomized into three groups:M1,M2,and C,where in morphine 1 mg dis-solved in saline 10 ml,morphine 2 mg dissolved in saline 10 ml,or sole saline 10 ml was epidurally given immediately after umbilical cord clamp,respectively.Perineal pain at rest and movement within 24 hours after vaginal delivery were evaluated with present pain intensity (PPI).Further,the time in-terval between a moderate or severe PPI and epidural drug treatment were recorded.Besides,epidural morphine related side effects including nausea,vomiting,pruritus,and urinary retention were ob-served as well.Results The proportion of patients with moderate or severe pain at rest was signifi-cantly lower in group M2 (2.1%)compared to group M1 (15.7)and group C (19.1%)(P <0.05). Further,the time interval between a moderate or severe PPI and epidural drug treatment was signifi-cantly longer in group M2 (15.7±1.4 h)compared to group M1 (11.0±0.9 h)and group C (11.0 ±1.0 h)(P <0.05).No significant difference was found between groups M1 and group C with regard to morphine efficacy.However,the accumulated side effects including nausea,vomiting,pruritus, and urinary retention prominently increased in group M2 (102.1%)compared to group M1 (43.1%) and group C (12.8%)(P <0.05).Conclusion Although epidural morphine 2 mg may significantly decrease and postpone the occurrence of moderate or severe postpartum perineal pain,however,it de-serves consideration before clinical use owing to the increased side effects.
