The accumulation of uremic toxins such as urea nitrogen, blood creatinine, and uric acid of patients with renal failure in vivo would lead to aggravated kidney damage. In this study, coated aldehyde oxy-starch (CAO) was used as an adsorbent to investigate its in vitro adsorption performance on renal failure indexes for urea, indoxyl sulfate (INS), monomethylamine (MMA), dimethylamine (DMA), uric acid (UA), and creatinine (Cr). The effects of variables such as pH, temperature, concentration, dosage, and time on the adsorption capacity of CAO were systematically investigated, employing analytical techniques of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC). The results revealed that CAO exhibited a strong adsorption capacity for urea, INS, and MMA, alongside a moderate adsorption capacity for DMA, UA, and Cr. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption of urea and UA by CAO were fitted in pseudo-first-order kinetics, and the adsorption isotherm aligned with the Freundlich adsorption model. The enthalpy change ΔH of urea in adsorption was in the range of 40 to 60 kJ·mol^-1, which demonstrated the presence of strong adsorption force due to the interactions of coordinating groups. The ΔH of UA was greater than 80 kJ·mol^-1, indicating the generation of chemical bonds during the adsorption. Both of them, Gibbs free energy ΔG was less than 0, within the range of -20 to 0 kJ·mol^-1, suggested that the adsorption of urea and UA by CAO occurred spontaneously as physical adsorption process. The adsorption entropy ΔS of urea and UA was > 0, which indicated an increase in entropy throughout the adsorption. The infrared spectroscopygram showed the formation of a chemical bond, specifically the imine bond, following the adsorption of urea by CAO, thereby indicating a chemical reaction during the adsorption. This study elucidates the adsorption mechanism of CAO on various indexes of renal failure, providing a scientific basis for its clinical usage.

Frailty,a multisystem syndrome in which the decrease of physiological reserve leads to the decrease of anti-stress ability,is highly prevalent among the elderly and is closely associated with ad-verse outcomes in surgical patients.Therefore,it is necessary for anesthesiologists to evaluate frailty during perioperative period.However,how to quantify frailty quickly,accurately,and objectively remains a chal-lenge.As the importance of muscle changes in the pathophysiological changes of frailty has been gradually revealed,bedside muscle ultrasound has attracted widespread attention in the assessment of weakness.This article introduces the parameters of bedside muscle ultrasoundand,the selection of parameters,and muscles for the assessment of frailty in elderly patients,which is expected to provide reference for anesthesiologists in assessing frailty during the perioperative period.

Further evidence is needed to explore the impact of high-altitude environments on the neurologic function of neonates.Non-invasive techniques such as cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy and amplitude-integrated electroencephalography can provide data on cerebral oxygenation and brain electrical activity.This study will conduct multiple cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy and amplitude-integrated electroencephalography monitoring sessions at various time points within the first 3 days postpartum for healthy full-term neonates at different altitudes.The obtained data on cerebral oxygenation and brain electrical activity will be compared between different altitudes,and corresponding reference ranges will be established.The study involves 6 participating centers in the Chinese High Altitude Neonatal Medicine Alliance,with altitude gradients divided into 4 categories:800 m,1 900 m,2 400 m,and 3 500 m,with an anticipated sample size of 170 neonates per altitude gradient.This multicenter prospective cohort study aims to provide evidence supporting the impact of high-altitude environments on early brain function and metabolism in neonates.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(4):403-409]

Objectives:To investigate the expression and clinical implication of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1(MALAT1)in peripheral blood of patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Methods:A total of 159 patients diagnosed with ACS who were admitted to the heart center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2015 to December 2018 were selected as the ACS group,and 148 participants without coronary heart disease confirmed by physical examination and enhanced coronary CT examination in the physical examination center of our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients in two groups were extracted,and the expression level of MALAT1 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),and the correlation between the expression level of MALAT1 and ACS and the diagnostic and prognostic value of MALATI expression level for ACS were analyzed. Results:The expression level of MALAT1 in peripheral blood was significantly higher in the ACS group than in the control group(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the expression level of MALAT1 in peripheral blood was independently correlated with ACS(OR=1.193,95%CI:1.037-1.372,P=0.014).ROC curve showed that the expression level of MALAT1 in peripheral blood was of certain diagnostic value for ACS(AUC=0.664,95%CI:0.600-0.720).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that ACS patients with high expression level of MALAT1 in peripheral blood(≥0.816)had higher cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events than those with low expression level of MALAT1 in peripheral blood(<0.816)during(558±223)days follow-up(39.05%vs.30.61%,P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression level of MALAT1 in peripheral blood of patients with ACS is significantly increased,and the expression level of MALAT1 in peripheral blood has potential clinical value for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with ACS.

Objective: To establish and evaluate a method of enriching bacteriophages in natural water based on ferric trichloride-polyvinylidene fluoride (FeCl₃-PVDF)membrane filter. Methods: Based on the principle of flocculation concentration, the method of recovering bacteriophage from water sample was established by using iron ion flocculation combined with membrane filter. The titer of phage was determined by Agar double layer method. The recovery efficiency of phage was detected by phage fluorescence staining and real-time fluorescence PCR reaction. Water samples from different sources were collected for simulation experiment to evaluate the enrichment effect. At the same time, the sewage discharged from hospitals was taken as the actual water sample, and the common clinical drug-resistant bacteria were used as the host indicator bacteria to further analyze the enrichment effect of FeCl₃-PVDF membrane filter rapid enrichment method on the bacteriophage in natural water samples. Results: The method of enrichment of bacteriophages in natural water by iron ion concentration 50 mg/L and PVDF membrane filter was established. The recovery rate of this method for bacteriophage was 93%-100%. Under the multi-functional microscope, it was found that the bacteriophage of the enriched water sample increased significantly and the fluorescence value of the enriched water sample determined by the enzyme labeling instrument was about 13 times as high as that before enrichment. After concentration of the actual water samples from the hospital drainage, the positive rate of bacteriophage isolation in the concentrated group and the non-concentrated group was 23% and 4%, and the fluorescence value in the concentrated group was 2-24 times as high as that of the non-concentrated group. Conclusion: The method of FeCl₃-PVDF membrane filter is a simple, efficient and rapid method for enriching bacteriophages in different water samples.
