In the case of intracranial hemorrhage,coders tend to ignore the cause of intracranial hemorrhage in the cod-ing,whether it is spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage or intracranial hemorrhage caused by trauma,and the coding of the two is completely different in ICD-10.The former is classified as I60-I62 while the latter is classified as S06.Different etiology will also enter different DRG groups when DRG is included.When determining the cause,the site of intracranial hemorrhage should be determined whether it is subarachnoid hemorrhage,or epidural/subdural hemorrhage or cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage,be-cause different bleeding sites have different codes in ICD-9-CM-3 when performing blood removal in cranial swelling.The classifi-cation of epidural hematoma removal was on 01.24,subdural or subarachnoid hematoma removal was on 01.31,and intracerebral parenchymal hematoma removal was on 01.39.The removal of intracranial hematoma is usually divided into cone craniotomy,skull trepanation and drainage and traditional craniotomy according to different operation methods.The operation process of these three operations is obviously different,and coders need to understand the characteristics of the three operations to achieve accurate classification.In the DRG grouping,the disease code is different from the surgical code and the DRG group will be different.Through understanding the definition and etiology of intracranial hematoma removal,the coding ideas of intracranial hematoma re-moval were analyzed,so as to improve the professional ability of coders and ensure the accuracy of DRG data.

Objective To predict the prognosis of patients after cardiac surgery by implementing hemodynamic monitoring collective strategy—CHOLKIT protocol,and to explore the practical application value of CHOLKIT protocol,such as early intervention to improve tissue circulation and microcirculation,and predict the timing of extubation.Methods A prospective cohort study was used to analyse 88 patients who underwent cardiac surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from April to October 2020,and they were divided into the survival group (84 cases) and the death group (4 cases) with patient survival or death as the study endpoint.The CHOLKIT protocol was applied to score the central venous pressure (CVP),heart rate (HR),central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2),lactic acid (Lac),potassium (K+),perfusion index (PI),and toe temperature (T) of patients at different time periods.The correlation between CHOLKIT score and prognosis was predicted based on the scores.Results Some monitoring indexes in the CHOLKIT protocol were related to the mortality,renal injury and duration of mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery.Conclusion The CHOLKIT protocol can predict the timing of extubation and the change of the condition of patients after cardiac surgery,and early intervention can improve the prognosis of patients,duration of mechanical ventilation and number of days of stay in the intensive care unit.

Objective:To explore the effect of enriched environment on pain sensitivity, anxiety- and depressive-like behavior in selective nerve injury(SNI) rats model and its potential mechanism.Methods:A total of 36 male clean grade SD rats aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into three groups( n=12 in each group): sham operation+ standard environment group (sham group), SNI+ standard environment group (standard environment group), SNI+ enriched environment group (enriched environment group). The rat model of neuropathic pain was established by SNI.The rats in the enriched enviroment group were placed in an enriched enviroment 7 days before operation until 21 days after operation.The paw withdraw threshold(PWT) and paw withdraw latency (PWL) were performed to assess hyperalgesia.The open field test, elevated plus maze test, novelty suppressed feeding test and forced swimming test were used to assess anxiety and depression like behavior.The expressions of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB), p-CREB, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) and neuroligin 2 (NLGN2) were detected by Western blot.The expression of CREB and BDNF in contralateral ACC were measured by immunofluorescence.GraphPad prism 8.0 and SPSS 23.0 were used for data analysis.One way ANOVA was used for inter group comparison, repeated measurement ANOVA was used to analyze PWT and PWL results, and Tukey test was used for pairwise comparison. Results:(1) In PWT and PWL experiments, the interaction effect between group and time, group main effect and time main effect of PWT were significant ( F=13.4, 39.6, 369.6, all P<0.05), and the interaction effect between group and time, group main effect and time main effect of PWL were significant ( F=3.8, 10.3, 58.8, all P<0.05). Compared with sham group, PWT((8.0±3.5) g, (2.4±1.4) g, (2.3±1.1) g, (2.2±1.6) g, (1.6±0.5) g) and PWL((8.6±1.3) s, (7.3±1.5) s, (7.9±1.0) s, (6.6±1.1) s, (7.7±1.4) s) in standard environment group decreased at each time point (all P<0.05). (2) Compared with sham group, the number of entrying into the central area (1.3±1.7), the time of entrying into the central area((1.6±1.3) s), the proportion of entering open arms ((8.0±7.8) %) and the proportion of time in the open arms ((1.3±1.2) %) all significantly decreased in standard environment group ( t=4.585, 5.423, 4.682, 5.202, all P<0.05). The eating latency ((365.2±94.4) s) and immobility time ((127.6±24.3) s) dramatically increased ( t=6.008, 14.290, both P<0.05). The number and time of entrying into central area of enriched environment group were both higher than those of standard environment group(both P<0.05), while the eating latency and immobility time of enriched environment group were both lower than those of standard environment group(both P<0.05). (3) Compared with sham group(CREB: (1.6±0.2), (0.8±0.5); BDNF: (0.8±0.5), (1.0±0.4)), the expression of CREB ((1.8±0.1), (1.5±0.2)), BDNF ((0.9±0.6), (1.4±0.3)) in spinal cord and ACC of standard environment group increased (spinal: t=3.283, 4.989; ACC: t=5.502, 4.257, all P<0.05). The expression of PSD-95 ((1.6±0.2), (1.0±0.2) and NLGN2 ((1.5±0.5), (1.1±0.2)) also increased in ACC of standard enviroment group ( t=4.257, 2.214, both P<0.05). Compared with standard environment group, the expression of CREB (1.3±0.3), BDNF (0.7±0.4), PSD-95(1.0±0.3) and NLGN2(1.1±0.4) in spinal cord of enriched environment group decreased ( t=5.007, 2.166, 2.358, 2.322, all P<0.05). The expression of PSD-95(1.2±0.3) and NLGN2(1.1±0.2) also decreased in ACC of enriched environment group ( t=2.674, 2.944, both P<0.05). However, the expression of p-CREB (1.7±0.6) and BDNF (2.4±0.2) increased in ACC ( t=4.180, 7.610, P<0.05). Conclusion:Enriched environment can improve neuropathic pain and anxiety- and depressive-like behavior in SNI rats, which may be related to the change of synaptic plasticity in spinal cord and ACC.

Objective:To evaluate whether underdilated stent could reduce the occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation.Methods:A total of 197 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, who had underwent TIPS creation at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, were analyzed retrospectively, including 110 males and 87 females with age 25-79 (54±11) years old. Uncovered and covered stents with 8 mm diameter were implanted in all subjects, and then dilated by balloon catheters with 6 mm or 8 mm diameter. The patients were divided into two groups, including underdilated group (6 mm, n=105) and control group (8 mm, n=92).Kaplan-Meier curves were used to illustrate cumulative rate of HE, and the differences were assessed with the log-rank test. Multivariate analyses with a Cox regression model were conducted to explore the risk factors for HE. Results:During a median follow-up period of 29 (12-54) months, 16 (15.2%) patients developed HE in the underdilated group and 27 (29.3%) patients in the control group. There was a significant difference in the cumulative rate of HE ( P=0.014), but no statistical differences were found in terms of variceal rebleeding, shunt dysfunction and survival between the two groups ( P=0.608, P=0.659, P=0.968). In multivariated analysis, group assignment (underdilated vs. control, HR=0.291, 95% CI 0.125-0.674, P=0.004) was identified as an independent risk factor for HE after TIPS creation. Conclusion:Underdilated TIPS could reduced the risk of HE compared with completely dilated TIPS, with comparable risk of variceal rebleeding, shunt dysfunction and mortality. And it is worthy of applying this technique to a large sample of patients in clinical practice.

Microcystis aeruginosa, a type of algal bloom microalgae, is widely distributed in water, causing serious deteriorated effects on humans and the ecological environment. As a biocontrol microorganism, Bacillus subtilis can synthesize various bioactive substances through non-ribosomal peptide synthetase, to inhibit the growth of M. aeruginosa. Thus, it is imperative to investigate the non-ribosomal peptide (NRP) metabolites of B. subtilis fmb60. Three NRP metabolites from B. subtilis fmb60 including bacillibactin, surfactin and fengycin were extracted and identified by genome mining technology. The growth inhibition of M. aeruginosa was studied by adding various concentrations of NRP metabolites. The half-effect concentration value (EC50.4 d) of M. aeruginosa was 26.5 mg/L after incubation for 4 days. With the increasing concentration, the inhibitory effects of NRP metabolites of B. subtilis fmb60 on M. aeruginosa was enhanced significantly. Compared with the control group, with the addition of 50 mg/L NRP metabolites to the M. aeruginosa, the content of Fv/Fm, Fv/Fo and Yield parameter after cultured for 4 days were decreased by 2.8%, 1.7% and 2.0%, respectively. Those findings indicate that the NRP metabolites of B. subtilis fmb60 can significantly inhibit the photosynthesis and metabolism of M. aeruginosa, which provides a theoretical foundation for the development of biological algae inhibitor of B. subtilis.

No significant differences were found in the quantitative analysis of the components with ESM and HPLC-QAMS method. Conclusion:The HPLC-QAMS method could provide the reference for themulti-index component evaluation for Huaiqin Salve.

Objective:To assess the association between the different prehospital transfer pathways to the hospital and reperfusion delay in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods:We retrospective collected 320 STEMI patients aged 18 years or older who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) from June 1, 2016 to July 31, 2018. They were divided into three groups according to different prehospital transfer pathways: patients directly transferred from the field by ambulance to PCI-capable center hospital (field transfer group, n=29); patients transferred by ambulance from PCI-incapable hospitals to PCI-capable center hospital (inerhospital transfer group, n=111); patients transferred by friends or relatives to PCI-capable center hospital (self-transfer group, n=180). The basic characteristic attributes, reperfusion time and fatal complications such as acute left heart failure cases (ALHF) cases, ventricular fibrillation (VF) cases, and in hospital death were collected and compared. In addition, logistic regression analysis was used to analyze uni- and multivariate of door-to-balloon (D2B) time less than 90 min. Results:The S2FMC interval were 118 min (50, 377) min , FMC-to-balloon interval were 87 min (66, 120.5) min and the onset-to-balloon time were 221 min (135, 482.5) min. The above three interval in the interhospital transfer group were longer than those in the field transfer and self-transfer groups ( P<0.05). S2FMC accounted for 51.14% of onset-to-balloon time in the field transfer group, 63.29% in the interhospital transfer group and 55.26% in the self transfer group. The door-to-catheter room interval were 33 min (9, 53.5) min. The interval in the interhospital transfer group were shorter than those in the field transfer and self-transfer groups ( P<0.05). The interval in the self-transfer group were longer than those in the interhospital transfer and field transfer groups ( P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that the interhospital transfer group ( OR=15.251, 95% CI: 5.328-43.657, P<0.01), field transfer group ( OR=8.219, 95% CI: 1.861-36.307, P=0.005), FMC2ECG time ( OR=0.975, 95% CI: 0.962-0.989, P<0.01), and smoking ( OR=2.099, 95% CI: 1.015-4.341, P=0.045) were independent predictor of goal time less than 90 min ( P<0.05 for all variables). Adverse events in STEMI patients mainly occurred within 6 h of the initial symptoms. The incidence of VF was 3.75% (95% CI: 3.73%-3.77%), ALHF was 10.94% (95% CI: 7.52%-14.36%) and in-hospital mortality was 2.5% (95% CI: 0.79%-4.21%). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The symptoms of STEMI patients are at risk in the early stage. Ambulances can shorten the reperfusion time, but the ambulance system is less used by patients. It is necessary to further optimize the treatment process of non-PCI hospitals and strengthen the popularity of emergency knowledge related to chest pain among residents, so as to shorten the reperfusion time.

With the increasing incidence rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Western developed countries and rich regions of China year by year, the treatment methods for NAFLD have been constantly improved and NAFLD has become a research hotspot. As an important physiological structure of the liver, liver sinus endothelial cells (LSECs) play an important role in the development and progression of NAFLD. This article summarizes the mechanism of action of LSECs in the pathogenesis of NAFLD, which included the following aspects: LSEC capillarization occurs in nonalcoholic fatty liver and promotes steatosis; meanwhile, LSECs contribute to oxidative stress in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and is a major effector of liver inflammation in NASH, thus promoting liver fibrosis; in addition, angiogenesis is highly stimulated and promotes NAFLD-related hepatocellular carcinoma in NAFLD. However, the role of LSECs in NASH-associated liver cirrhosis has not been validated, which needs to be further clarified to provide new ideas and directions for treatment.

Objective:To observe the effect of Xueniaoan tablets on the expression of complement regulatory protein CR1 in IgA nephropathy rats. Methods:Totally 36 SD rats were randomized into the normal group,the model group and Xueniaoan group after 4-day adaptive feeding. Complex method was used to establish IgA nephropathy model,and Xueniaoan group was given Xueniaoan at the dose of 7.0 g·kg-1during the 10thweek and the 12thweek,while the normal group and the model group were fed with normal saline, and the administration course was 3 weeks. The 24-h urine protein was detected,CR1 in red blood cells was detected by ELISA,the renal pathological changes were observed under a light microscope after HE staining,and the expression of CR1 was detected by immu-nohistochemistry.
