After ischemic stroke, the key to reduce the mortality and disability rate is to restore the blood supply of brain tissue as soon as possible. However, the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) caused by blood flow restoration is also an important cause of brain tissue structural damage and dysfunction. Studies in recent years have shown that the activation of mitophagy at CIRI stage can reduce the volume of cerebral infarction and protect neurons from CIRI, while excessive or insufficient mitophagy can aggravate CIRI. This suggests that inducing moderate mitophagy may be a potential therapeutic target for neuroprotection after stroke. However, the neuroprotective mechanism of mitophagy has not yet been fully elucidated. This article reviews the neuroprotective mechanism and potential application of mitophagy in stroke, and discusses some problems of mitophagy as a therapeutic target for stroke.

Lymphoplasmapheresis(LPE) is a combination of plasma exchange and lymphocyte separation technology. It can not only remove autoimmune antibodies, but also remove the immune active cells producing these antibodies. At the same time, it can inhibit cellular and humoral immune responses, and improve the efficiency and reliability of treatment. This technology is safe, reliable, and easy to operate. In recent years, it has been widely used in the treatment of various autoimmune diseases and the suppression of immune rejection after organ transplantation, especially in the treatment of critically ill patients. This paper summarizes the clinical application status of LPE in immune-related diseases at home and abroad, analyzes the problems existing in the clinical promotion of LPE, and makes a prospect of its application value.

Objective To establish a detection system of ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for everolimus concentration in whole blood of liver transplant recipients. Methods The proteins of samples were precipitated with methanol and zinc sulfate, and everolimus-D4 was used as the internal standard. Phenomenex Kinetex PFP column was used. The mobile phase A was water (containing 2 mmol/Lammonium formate and 0.1% formic acid), and the mobile phase B was methanol (containing 2 mmol/L ammonium formate and 0.1% formic acid). The gradient elution was performed with the flow rate of 1 mL/min, the column temperature of 50 ℃ and the injection volume of 1 μL. The multi-reaction monitoring mode was used to quantitatively analyze with electrospray positive ionization. The UPLC-MS/MS detection system required only 100 μL of whole blood, and could achieve a sufficient lower limit of quantification without complicated sample preparation. The total running time was within 4.5 min. Linear regression (1/

Objective:To analyze the effect of the multipoint tiny incision with continuous buried suture method in double eyelidplasty for patients with mild or moderate dermatolysis.Methods:Totally, 1 161 patients from May 2008 to February 2019 underwent the double-eyelid surgical procedure with the multipoint tiny incision with continuous buried suture method. 1 148 patients were female and 13 patients were male, ranging from 25 to 50 years old. All the patients had normal single-eyelid or inborn narrow double-eyelid without blepharoptosis and they were performed double eyelidplasty for the first time. During the operation, moderate orbicularis oculi muscle and orbital septum fat were cut down from the four or five tiny incisions which were all 2 mm long. Skin levator fixation was performed through continuous buring suture between subcutaneous and the levator aponeurosis. Postoperative follow-up time points were 3 months, 1 year and 5 years.Results:There were 10 patients that showed slight asymmetry, 8 patients' eyes showed shallow creases and 5 patients' double eyelids narrowed. These 23 patients were operated for the second time. Besides that, all the creases were symmetry, parallel and natural. Notched scars did not occur, and patients' satisfaction was achieved in the rest of the cases.Conclusions:Our double eyelid procedure creates natural and beautiful double eyelids without depressed scars. The blepharoplasty of multipoint tiny incision with continuous buried suture method can produce a desired aesthetic effect and it lasts for a long time.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of perioperative fluid therapy on early postoperative pulmonary complication (PPC) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).
Methods:
The clinical data of 132 patients who underwent OLT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from April 2016 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. These patients included 96 males and 36 females, aged (47.3±9.6) years (range: 24-69 years). Based on the clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging findings of patients in ICU and PPC occurrence within 7 days after OLT surgery, the patients were divided into 2 groups: non-PPC group and PPC group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between perioperative variables and PPC. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate cumulative survival of recipients with or without PPC within 2-years.
Results:
During the follow-up, 11 patients (8.3%) died and 72 patients (54.5%) developed PPC after operation. There were 34 cases, 6 cases, 3 cases, 4 cases, 15 cases, 6 cases and 4 cases of only pleural effusion, only pulmonary edema, only pneumonia, pleural effusion with pneumonia, pleural effusion with pulmonary edema, pleural effusion with atelectasis, and pleural effusion with pneumonia and pneumonia in PPC, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the preoperative factors (model for end-stage liver disease score), the intra-operative factors (duration of surgery, total infusion volume, total blood products) and the postoperative cumulative fluid balance within the first 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h were the prognosis factors of PPC (

"Good doctor" plus "good patient" do not necessarily mean "good doctor-patient relationship", but both are the basis for building a harmonious doctor -patient relationship and neither of the two can be dis-pensed. This paper conducted a comparative study on ideal and realistic doctor-patient relationship, digged and refined the characteristics of"good doctor" and"good patients", and agreed that it was possible to construct a har-monious doctor-patient relationship when doctors pursued professional excellence and moral integrity, and patients had good "patient literacy".

Objective To study the mechanism of platelet aggregation induced by Streptococcus suis serotype 2 muramidase-released protein (MRP) and to provide scientific proof and theoretical basis for clinical treatment of patients with Streptococcus suis infection. Methods Nickel column affinity chromatogra-phy was used to purify recombinant proteins of MRP-N and MRP-C. Platelet aggregometer, thromboelastog-raphy (TEG) and scanning electron microscope were used to observe the platelet aggregation induced by MRP. Results Streptococcus suis 2 wild type strain,but not the mutant strain ΔMRP,could induce platelet aggregation. It was MRP-N but not MRP-C that induced platelet aggregation. GPRP,an inhibitor of β2inte-grin receptor,could significantly inhibit the platelet aggregation induced by MRP. Conclusion Streptococ-cus suis 2 MRP induces platelet aggregation through β2integrin receptor pathway.
