BACKGROUND:It has been shown that in a mouse model of acute traumatic brain injury,the transcriptional and translational levels of silent information regulator 1(SIRT1)activated by drugs significantly elevates the expression of SIRT1 in brain tissue,reduces inflammatory and oxidative stress in brain tissue,and improves neurological function. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism of intraperitoneal injection of SRT1720,an activator of SIRT1,to alleviate acute traumatic brain injury in rats. METHODS:Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups(n=30 per group):a sham group(without modeling),a model group and an activator group.Animal models of acute traumatic brain injury were established in the latter two groups.At 6 hours after modeling,the sham,model and activator groups were injected intraperitoneally with dimethyl sulfoxide solution,methylsulfoxide solution and SRT1720 once a day for 28 days,respectively.The time points for sampling were set,and rats'neurological function,brain tissue water content,brain tissue oxidative stress and inflammatory response,brain tissue morphology,apoptosis and angiogenesis,and the protein expression of SIRT1 in brain tissue were detected and measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the sham group,the modified neurological deficit score,brain tissue water content and apoptosis rate of rats were increased in the model group at 7,14 and 28 days of injection(P<0.05);compared with the model group,the modified neurological deficit score,brain tissue water content and apoptosis rate of rats were decreased in the activator group(P<0.05).Compared with the sham group,the levels of reactive oxygen radicals and myeloperoxidase in the brain tissue were increased(P<0.05),the levels of malondialdehyde,tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6 in the serum were increased(P<0.05),and the levels of superoxide dismutase in the serum were decreased in the model group at 7,14 and 28 days of injection(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the levels of reactive oxygen radicals and myeloperoxidase in the brain tissue were decreased(P<0.05),the levels of malondialdehyde,tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6 in the serum were decreased(P<0.05),and the levels of superoxide dismutase in the serum were increased in the activator group at 7,14 and 28 days of injection(P<0.05).Immunohistochemical staining at 7,14 and 28 days of injection showed that the number of new vessels in the brain tissue was higher in the model group than the sham group(P<0.05)as well as higher in the activator group than the model group(P<0.05).Western blot assay indicated that at 7,14 and 28 days of injection,the expression of SIRT1 protein in the brain tissue was lower in the model group than the sham group(P<0.05)and higher in the activator group than the model group(P<0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that at 7,14 and 28 days of injection,the degree of brain injury in the activator group was less than that in the model group.To conclude,intraperitoneal injection of the SIRT1 signal activator SRT1720 can significantly reduce oxidative and inflammatory stress in the brain tissue,inhibit neuronal apoptosis,promote angiogenesis,and alleviate brain injury in rats with acute traumatic brain injury.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of the medical insurance balance of hospitalization expenses for gastric cancer surgery patients under DRG payment, for reference for promoting the reform of DRG payment in public hospitals and controlling hospitalization expenses reasonably.Methods:The gastric cancer patients enrolled in the gastroenterology department of a tertiary comprehensive hospital from January to July 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The indicators such as patient age, medical insurance balance, hospitalization expenses and their composition were extracted from the hospital information management system and the medical insurance settlement system a certain city. Descriptive analysis was conducted for all data, and stepwise multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of patients′ medical insurance balance. Monte Carlo simulation method was used to simulate different combination scenarios of various influencing factors to analyze the probability of medical insurance balance.Results:A total of 205 patients were contained, including 117 in the medical insurance balance group and 88 in the loss group. The difference in hospitalization expenses and medical insurance balance between the two groups of patients were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The intervention of medical insurance specialists, correct DRG enrollment, parenteral nutrition preparation costs, anti infective drug costs, examination costs, and consumables costs were the influencing factors of patient medical insurance balance ( P<0.05). Through Monte Carlo simulation verification, patients with different cost parenteral nutrition preparations, or different anti infective drug schemes had the higher probability of medical insurance balance in the scenario where the medical insurance commissioner intervenes and the DRG enrollment was correct. Conclusions:The hospital adopted interventions from medical insurance specialists to ensure the correct DRG enrollment of patients, accurate use of parenteral nutrition and anti infective drugs, and reasonable control the cost of examinations and consumables, which could increase the probability of medical insurance balance for gastric cancer surgery patients. In the future, hospitals should further promote the procurement of drug consumables in bulk, reduce unnecessary examinations, develop standardized perioperative nutritional interventions and anti infection treatment pathways, ensure the accuracy of DRG enrollment, optimize clinical diagnosis and treatment pathways to improve the efficiency of medical insurance fund utilization and provide high-quality medical services for patients.

ObjectiveTo describe the incidence and distribution characteristics of congenital heart disease in newborns, and to analyze the trend of the notification rate from 2009 to 2018 in Chongming District, Shanghai. MethodsBased on the shanghai birth defects surveillance system, newborns delivered in all medical institutions in Chongming District from 2009 to 2018 were examined for congenital heart disease at birth and followed up to 42 days. The notification rate and trends of various congenital heart diseases were described. ResultsThere were 548 cases of neonatal congenital heart disease in Chongming District from 2009 to 2018, and the notification rate was 20.11‰ (95%CI: 18.47‰-21.85‰), with statistically significant differences between years during the study period (Z=10.616, P<0.001). The four most common types of congenital heart disease were patent ductus arteriosus (313, 11.49%), patent foramen ovale (312, 11.45%), atrial septal defect (88, 3.64%) and ventricular septal defect (73, 2.68%). Majority of the congenital heart disease cases were patent ductus arteriosus and patent foramen ovale that could be further closed during growth and development. Isolated patent ductus arteriosus and isolated patent foramen ovale accounted for 18.61% and 23.18% respectively of the total cases. ConclusionThe notification rate of congenital heart disease in Chongming District shows a trend of fluctuating decline followed by an increase. Community follow-up and outcome tracking should be strengthened for children with congenital heart disease, especially those with patent ductus arteriosus or patent foramen ovale.

Objective:To evaluate changes in urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL)levels in elderly coronary artery disease(CAD)patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI), and to explore the role of NGAL and its value in the early diagnosis of contrast-induced nephropathy(CIN).Methods:This was a retrospective case-control study.A total of 68 patients undergone PCI were consecutively enrolled between October 2012 and October 2013.Serum creatinine(SCr)was measured before and at 24, 48 and 72h after PCI.Urinary NGAL was measured before and at 2, 12 and 24 h after PCI.The value of urinary NGAL for early diagnosis of CIN was analyzed.Results:The overall incidence of CIN was 8.82%.Urinary NGAL levels at 2 h, 12 h and 24 h after PCI were higher than pre-surgery levels(all P<0.05). Compared with the non-CIN group, urinary NGAL levels were increased in the CIN group at 2 h, 12 h and 24 h after PCI(all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that urinary NGAL levels at 2 h, 12 h and 24 h after PCI were positively correlated with peak SCr within 72 h after PCI( r=0.625、0.493, and 0.226, all P<0.05), and were negatively correlated with peak eGFR within 72 h after PCI( r=-0.732、-0.603 and -0.449, all P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)showed that urinary NGAL was 0.740(95% CI: 0.481-0.998, P=0.029)at 2 h post-operation, and the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of CIN were 62.5% and 73.3%, respectively, when the cut-off level was 17.52 ng/ml.The AUC of urinary NGAL was 0.948(95% CI: 0.895-1.001, P<0.001)at 12 h post-operation, and the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of CIN were 87.7% and 88.3%, respectively, when the cut-off level was 44.30 ng/ml.The AUC of urinary NGAL was 0.931(95% CI: 0.869-0.994, P<0.001)at 24 h post-operation, and the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of CIN were 86.2% and 73.3%, respectively, when the cut-off level was 48.65 ng/ml. Conclusions:Urinary NGAL can reflect acute kidney injury within 24 h of administration of contrast agents in coronary interventional therapy, and has a certain predictive value in the early diagnosis of CIN.

Objective:
To understand the epidemiological characteristics and differences of HIV-positive cases among 15-24 years old in Jiaxing city and provide evidence for the development of targeted prevention and control measures.
Methods:
A descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the data of HIV cases aged 15-24 reported in Jiaxing from 1999 to 2018.
Results:
A total of 375 cases of young HIV were reported in 1999-2018, with an average age of 21.29±1.90 years, of which 42 were students. The ratio of male to female was 2.47∶1. The proportion of foreign household registration was higher (76%, 285 cases). The proportion of off-campus youth cases in total cases showed a downward trend(χ2=8.26, P=0.00), but the proportion of student cases showed an upward trend(χ2=15.73, P<0.01). Off-campus youth cases were mainly heterosexual transmission(59.16%, 197 cases), and the students’ cases were mainly homosexual transmission(88.10%, 37 cases). There were significant differences in gender, age, household registration, education level, route of transmission, late detection, CD4 level and source of detection among students and off-campus adolescents(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The prevalence of AIDS in adolescents and students is worthy of attention. The characteristics of adolescents inside and outside the school are different. Targeted prevention measures should be taken to reduce the harm of AIDS to young people.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of IABP SHOCK Ⅱ risk score in in-hospital mortality of patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock (CS). Methods From August 2011 to August 2013, the clinical data of 89 patients with cardiogenic shock after STEMI treated with primary PCI and then supported by using IABP were retrospectively analyzed. The IABP SHOCK Ⅱ risk score were calculated from the data at admission and primary PCI. Comparisons of general information, medication and intervention, pre/post IABP vital life signs and in-hospital death were carried out among patients with different risk stratifications. Results The area under ROC curve of risk stratification was 0.723. The patients were categorized into low risk group (score 0-2, n=71) and intermediate-high risk group (score 3-9, n=18).The patients in intermediate-high risk group were with advanced age, high rate of diabetes mellitus, history of stroke, renal insufficiency, higher serum lactate and glucose at admission compared with low risk group. And more patients in intermediate-high risk group had impaired post-PCI coronary flow (TIMI flow grade<3). Conclusions The IABP SHOCK Ⅱ risk score is a simple and useful risk score for predicting in-hospital mortality of STEMIpatients complicated with CS. Though the patietns are treated with primary PCI and then supported by IABP, the in-hospital mortality of patients with IABP SHOCK Ⅱ risk score ≥ 3 increases significantly.
