Sepsis is a heterogeneous syndrome.It is caused by infections,attributing to immune dysfunction pathologically.The disease is characterized by macrophage-mediated inflammation and immune response throughout its development.During septic development,macrophages metabolize crucially with glycolysis remarkably enhanced.The glycolystic enhancement facilitates septic development by promoting the inflammatory response of macrophages and altering their phenotype.Therefore,direct or indirect inhibition of macrophagic glycolysis can alleviate sepsis and neutralize damages to organs functionally,promoting the polarization of anti-inflammatory phenotype.In this review,we aim to investigate the relationship between macrophagic glycolysis and sepsis,focusing on researching into relevant molecular mechanisms by which glycolysis is regulated for treating sepsis.It is concluded that interfer-ing with macrophagic glycolysis may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy for treating sepsis.

Background: SM-like (LSM) genes a family of RNA-binding proteins, are involved in mRNA regulation and can function as oncogenes by altering mRNA stability. However, their roles in B-cell progression and tumorigenesis remain poorly understood. Methods: We analyzed gene expression profiles and overall survival data of 123 patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The LSM index was developed to assess its potential as a prognostic marker of MCL survival. Results: Five of the eight LSM genes were identified as potential prognostic markers for survival in MCL, with particular emphasis on the LSM.index. The expression levels of these LSM genes demonstrated their potential utility as classifiers of MCL. The LSM.index-high group exhibited both poorer survival rates and lower RNA levels than did the overall transcript profile. Notably, LSM1 and LSM8 were overexpressed in the LSM.index-high group, with LSM1 showing 2.5-fold increase (p < 0.001) and LSM8 depicting 1.8-fold increase (p < 0.01) than those in the LSM.index-low group.Furthermore, elevated LSM gene expression was associated with increased cell division and RNA splicing pathway activity. Conclusions The LSM.index demonstrates potential as a prognostic marker for survival in patients with MCL. Elevated expression of LSM genes, particularly LSM1 and LSM8, may be linked to poor survival outcomes through their involvement in cell division and RNA splicing pathways. These findings suggest that LSM genes may contribute to the aggressive behavior of MCL and represent potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Lipid homeostasis is considered to be related to intestinal metabolic balance, while its role in the pathogenesis and treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) remains largely unexplored. The present study aimed to identify the target lipids related to the occurrence, development and treatment of UC by comparing the lipidomics of UC patients, mice and colonic organoids with the corresponding healthy controls. Here, multi-dimensional lipidomics based on LC-QTOF/MS, LC-MS/MS and iMScope systems were constructed and used to decipher the alteration of lipidomic profiles. The results indicated that UC patients and mice were often accompanied by dysregulation of lipid homeostasis, in which triglycerides and phosphatidylcholines were significantly reduced. Notably, phosphatidylcholine 34:1 (PC34:1) was characterized by high abundance and closely correlation with UC disease. Our results also revealed that down-regulation of PC synthase PCYT1α and Pemt caused by UC modeling was the main factor leading to the reduction of PC34:1, and exogenous PC34:1 could greatly enhance the fumarate level via inhibiting the transformation of glutamate to N-acetylglutamate, thus exerting an anti-UC effect. Collectively, our study not only supplies common technologies and strategies for exploring lipid metabolism in mammals, but also provides opportunities for the discovery of therapeutic agents and biomarkers of UC.

Objective To summarize the brain protection application experiences of combined internal and external blood shunt technologies for the in-situ three-fenestration revascularization of aortic arch.Methods From Feb 2017 to Jun 2018,8 patients with aortic arch leisons were treated by the in-situ three-fenestration techniques,including 3 aortic dissection,2 aortic aneurysm,3 postoperative TEVAR patients.We adopt the method of internal and external blood shunt technologies for brain protection using the vascular sheath for fenestration combined with carotid shunt tube skills,and using TCD to monitor the blood flow of brain.Results All operations completed successfully,and TCD showed no significant cerebral ischemia when aortic stent was used to cover the three branches of the aorta.The mean time of brain protection was (17.62 ± 6.87) minutes.One patient developed transient cerebral ischemia after surgery,and another one developed cerebral infarction.Conclusions The brain protection strategy of internal bypass combined with external converter technology maintain the brain blood flow,while is simple and feasible,it cannot completely avoid neurological complications.

Objective To summarize the experience and effect of applying 3D printing to repair thoraco-abdominal aortic disease with fenestrated stent-graft or branch stent-graft technique.Methods From Oct 2017 to Sep 2018,22 patients with thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases,including aortic arterial dissection (9 patients) and aortic aneurysm (13 patients) were admitted.There were 19 males and 3 females,with mean age of (60 ± 13) years.Before the surgery 3D printing model guide plate was made according to CT,and then the pre-fenestrated stent-graft technique,branch stent-graft technique and other techniques were adopted in the surgery to perform endovascular repair.Resuits All of the operations were completed in one stage without open surgery.The average operation time was (5.67 ± l.23) hours without renal insufficiency and paraplegia,1 branch artery was lost during operation (1.4％) and 1 patient died (4.5％).Conclusion The application of 3D printing in the treatment of thoraco-abdominal aortic disease involving branches is more accurate than traditional measurement and localization.It had a safe and reliable short-term result.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (fEVAR) using physician-modified stent grafts(PMSGs) to repair aortic dissection aneurysm.Methods Nine consecutive patients who underwent fEVAR using PMSGs from Jan 2018 to Jun 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.Results Nine PMSGs (6 Ankura stent grafts,3 COOK Zenith stent grafts) were deployed.Initial technical success rate was 97.0％ (32 of 33).Mean operative time was (303 ± 51) min.There were no in-hospital death and no perioperative neurology complications.All the patients survived at a median follow-up of 6.1 mouths (ranging 3-10 months).During follow up,no postoperative complications occurred,all target vessels remained patent and no fenestration-related type Ⅰ endoleak were observed.There are 3 cases of type Ⅱ and 2 cases of type Ⅲ endoleaks respectively.Conclusions FEVAR using PMSGs may be a viable alternative for patients with post aortic dissection aneurysm.

Objective To evaluate the effects of curcumin on the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-related kinase (p-ERK) and phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein (p-CREB) in the spinal dorsal horn and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in type 2 diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) in rats.Methods Type 2 diabetes mellitus was induced by high-fat and high-sucrose diet and intraperitoneal streptozotocin (STZ) 35mg/kg,and confirmed by fasting blood glucose level≥ 16.7 mmol/L in male Sprague-Dawley rats.Type 2 DNP was confirmed by the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdraw latency (TWL) measured on day 14 after STZ administration ＜ 80％ of the baseline value,and the rats with type 2 DNP were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =27 each):type 2 DNP group (group DNP),curcumin group (group Cur) and solvent control group (group SC).Curcumin and corn oil 100 mg/kg (25 mg/ml) were injected intraperitoneally once a day for 14consecutive days starting from 14 days after administration of streptozocin in Cur and SC groups,respectively.Another 27 normal rats were served as control group (group C) and were fed with common forage.MWT and TWL were measured at 3,7 and 14 days after curcumin injection (T1 3),and the lumbar segment 4-6 of the spinal cord and DRGs were removed at the same time for determination of the expression of p-ERK and p-CREB (by Western blot).Results Compared with group C,MWT was significantly decreased,TWL was shortened,and the expression of p-ERK and p-CREB in spinal dorsal horn and DRGs was up-regulated at T1-3 in DNP and SC groups,and at T1 in Cur group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group DNP,MWT was significantly increased,TWL was prolonged,and the expression of p-ERK and p-CREB in spinal dorsal horn and DRGs was down-regulated at T2,3 in Cur group (P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the MWT,TWL and expression of p-ERK and p-CREB between DNP and SC groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Curcumin can attenuate type 2 diabetic DNP by inhibiting up-regulation of the expression of p-ERK and p-CREB in the spinal dorsal horn and DRG in rats.

Objective To determine the median effective target effect-site concentration (EC50) of sufentanil inhibiting cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation when combined with propofol in patients of Uygur nationality.Methods Thirty-one ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ Uighurs of both sexes,aged 21-59 yr,with body mass index 18-28 kg/m2,undergoing elective surgery,were enrolled in this study.Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol and sufentanil target-controlled infusion and iv injection of cisatracurium 0.2 mg/kg.The target effect-site concentration (Ce) of propofol was set at 3.0 μg/ml.Tracheal intubation was performed after the target Ce and plasma concentrations were balanced.The target Ce was set at 0.8 ng/ml in the first patient.Each time Ce increased/decreased by 10％ in the next patient depending on whether or not the cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation occurred.The positive cardiovascular response was defined as increase in systolic blood pressure by 15％ and/or HR＞ 90 bpm lasting for ＞ 15 s.The EC50(95％ confidence interval) of sufentanil blunting cardiovascular responses to trancheal intubation was calculated by Probit analysis.Results EC50 (95 ％ confidence interval) of sufentanil inhibiting cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation when combined with 3.0 μg/ml propofol was 0.46 (0.43-0.49) ng/ml.Conclusion EC50 of sufentanil inhibiting cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation is 0.46 ng/ml in patients of Uygur nationality when combined with propofol.
