Objective To explore the correlation between exponential apparent diffusion coefficient(eADC)value before radical hysterectomy and postoperative clinical results in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)stageⅠ/Ⅱ cervical cancer,and to find MR quantitative indicators for predicting the prognosis of patients with early stage cervical cancer.Methods Patients with FIGO stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ cervical cancer who underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively collected.All patients underwent MRI plain scan and diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)scan before surgery.Baseline parameters included age,menopause,stage,tumor size,pathological differentiation and type,lymph node involvement,and postoperative adjuvant therapy.MR parameters included mean apparent diffusion coefficient(ADCmean),normalized apparent diffusion coefficient(nADC),eADC,SIDWI,and SIT2.Baseline and MRI parameters associated with recurrence were determined by Cox regression analysis.Results The progression-free survival(PFS)in the low eADC group was longer than that in the high eADC group(P=0.010).Univariate analysis showed that ADC,nADC and eADC were associated with recurrence(P<0.05).In multivariate analysis,only eADC[hazard ratio(HR)3.610;95%confidence interval(CI)1.467-8.886;P=0.005]was associated with recurrence.Conclusion Preoperative eADC is associated with PFS in patients with surgically treated FIGO stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ cervical cancer and is helpful in evaluating the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer.

Objective:To explore the correlation between grip strength promotion and improvement of body composition and metabolic disorders in health examination population of different genders.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical data of 600 people who received health examination and grip strength check-up two times or more in the Medical Examination Center of Peking University Third Hospital from January 2018 to November 2022 were selected. The general data, physical examination, biochemical parameters, body composition and grip strength results were collected. After the first physical examination, the grip strength test was conducted, appropriate resistance strength exercises were given based on individual evaluation results. A health lecture was held, and the information related to health exercise was pushed through WeChat official account every week. The grip strength test was completed at the same time at the second physical examination, and the difference between the two test results was calculated before and after the second physical examination. The generalized estimation equation was used to analyze the correlation between the improvement of grip strength and the improvement of body composition and metabolic disorders in different gender health-check population.Results:In man and women, the body mass index [(25.50±3.66) vs (25.33±3.74) kg/m 2, (22.41±3.55) vs (22.25±3.46) kg/m 2] and grip strength [(42.71±7.30) vs (41.77±7.36) kg, (25.28±5.30) vs (23.98±4.87) kg] at the second health check-up were all significantly higher than those at the first time, and the diastolic blood pressure [(72.79±10.30) vs (74.47±9.85) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (66.93±8.90) vs (68.92±9.42) mmHg] and serum homocysteine [(17.96±14.09) vs (19.27±14.26) μmol/L, (9.47±3.91) vs (10.26±3.90) μmol/L] were all significantly lower than those at the first time (all P<0.05). Among man, the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) at the second physical examination was significantly lower than that at the first time [(2.94±0.78) vs (3.00±0.69) mmol/L] (all P<0.05). Among women, the systolic blood pressure and uric acid at the second health check-up were both significantly lower than those at the first time [(109.34±12.85) vs (110.54±12.32) mmHg, (276.91±62.46) vs (287.16±68.78) μmol/L], and the waist-hip ratio was significant higher (85.8%±5.1% vs 85.4%±5.0%) (all P<0.05). In males, the decreased aspartate aminotransferase ( OR=0.932, 95% CI: 0.888-0.978) and the increased skeletal muscle index ( OR=75.370, 95% CI: 29.012-195.806) were both positively correlated with the elevation of grip strength (all P<0.05); and in females, the decreased homocysteine ( OR=0.876, 95% CI: 0.782-0.982) and glycosylated hemoglobin ( OR=0.423, 95% CI: 0.222-0.805) and increased skeletal muscle index ( OR=22.918, 95% CI: 11.114-47.256) were all positively correlated with the elevation of grip strength (all P<0.05). Conclusion:There is a positive correlation between the improvement of grip strength and the improvement trend of body composition and metabolic disorders in in health examination population of different genders.

Objective:To assess the effect of low-dose esketamine on postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods:One hundred and twenty-four patients, aged 65-80 yr, regardless of gender, with a body mass index of 18-35 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were assigned to either esketamine group (group E, n=64) or control group (group C, n=60) using a random number table method. Group E received intravenous esketamine at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg, while group C received an equal volume of normal saline intravenously. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous fentanyl, propofol and rocuronium and maintained using combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia in both groups. Patient-controlled analgesia was carried out postoperatively. Cognitive function tests including a simple mental state examination, auditory word learning test, tracking connection test A and B, number symbol replacement test, Boston naming test and complex graph test were performed at 1 day before surgery and 30 days after surgery, and postoperative cognitive dysfunction was determined using Z-score method. Delirium was assessed using Confusion Assessment Method from 1 to 7 days after operation. The operative hypotension, postoperative delayed emergence, nausea and vomiting, and hallucinations were recorded. The recovery time of spontaneous breathing, eye opening to verbal command and extubation time were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the incidence of cognitive dysfunction at 30 days after surgery and intraoperative hypotension was significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the recovery time of spontaneous breathing, eye opening to verbal command, extubation time, incidence of postoperative delayed emergence, delirium, nausea and vomiting, and hallucinations in group E ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Low-dose esketamine can improve postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Objective Dexmedetomidine(Dex)is a highly selective α2 adrenoceptor agonist that reduces blood pressure and heart rate.However,its ability to provide stable hemodynamics and a clinically significant reduction in blood loss in spine surgery is still a matter of debate.This study aimed to investigate the effects of Dex on intraoperative hemodynamics and blood loss in patients undergoing spine surgery. Methods The Web of Science,MEDLINE,EMBASE,and the Cochrane Library were searched up to February 2023 for randomized controlled trials(RCTs)including patients undergoing spine surgeries under general anaesthesia and comparing Dex and saline.A fixed-or random-effect model was used depending on heterogeneity. Results Twenty-one RCTs,including 1388 patients,were identified.Dex added the overall risk of intraoperative hypotension(odds ratio[OR]:2.11;95％confidence interval[CI]:1.24-3.58;P=0.006)and bradycardia(OR:2.48;95％CI:1.57-3.93;P=0.0001).The use of a loading dose of Dex led to significantly increased risks of intraoperative hypotension(OR:2.00;95％CI:1.06-3.79;P=0.03)and bradycardia(OR:2.28;95％CI:1.42-3.66;P=0.0007).For patients receiving total intravenous anesthesia,there was an increased risk of hypotension(OR:2.90;95％CI:1.24-6.82;P=0.01)and bradycardia(OR:2.66;95％CI:1.53-4.61;P=0.0005).For patients in the inhalation anesthesia group,only an increased risk of bradycardia(OR:4.95;95％CI:1.41-17.37;P=0.01)was observed.No significant increase in the risk of hypotension and bradycardia was found in the combined intravenous-inhalation anesthesia group.The incidence of severe hypotension(OR:2.57;95％CI:1.05-6.32;P=0.04),but not mild hypotension,was increased.Both mild(OR:2.55;95％CI:1.06-6.15;P=0.04)and severe(OR:2.45;95％CI:1.43-4.20;P=0.001)bradycardia were associated with a higher risk.The overall analyses did not reveal significant reduction in intraoperative blood loss.However,a significant decrease in blood loss was observed in total inhalation anesthesia subgroup(mean difference[MD]:-82.97;95％CI:-109.04--56.90;P＜0.001). Conclusions Dex increases the risks of intraoperative hypotension and bradycardia in major spine surgery.The administration of a loading dose of Dex and the utilization of various anesthesia maintenance methods may potentially impact hemodynamic stability and intraoperative blood loss.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of Glasgow coma scale-pupil (GCS-P) score combined with arterial lactate level on 30-day mortality in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).Methods:Patients with sICH attended to the emergency department of the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from January 2021 to September 2023 were respectively collected. The patients were divided into survival group and death group according to survival outcome at 30 d after the onset of the disease. The data of the patients between the two groups were compared, including basic data, vital signs on admission to the hospital, pupils status, laboratory indexes, emergency Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores, and other clinical data. The binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of sICH patients, and LASSO regression analysis was used for further validation. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to analyze the predictive value of the emergency GCS-P score combined with the lactate level score on the mortality rates of sICH patients.Results:A total of 512 patients were included, 235 in the survival group and 277 in the death group. The admission heart rate, blood glucose, arterial lactate level, and the proportion of patients with hypertension and stroke were significantly higher in the death group than in the survival group, and the GCS score and emergency GCS-P score were significantly lower than those in the survival group (all P<0.05). For the mortality analysis of sICH patients at different levels, the mortality rate of patients with very severe GCS-P was significantly higher than that of patients with severe disease ( P<0.05), However, there was no significant difference in GCS between the two groups ( P>0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that emergency GCS-P score ( OR=1.400, 95% CI: 1.297-1.512, P<0.001) and arterial lactate level ( OR=0.674, 95% CI: 0.567-0.800, P<0.001) were predicted factors for the prognosis of patients with sICH. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of GCS, GCS-P, arterial lactate, and GCS-P combined with arterial lactate to predict the prognosis of patients was 0.748, 0.783, 0.718, and 0.819, respectively. Among them, GCS-P score combined with arterial lactate had the best prediction effect. Conclusion:GCS-P combined with arterial lactate levels could be used to predict the prognosis of sICH patients

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of naringin on acute lung injury(ALI)in septic mice.Methods The acute lung injury mouse model of sepsis was established by intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg·kg-1 lipopolysaccharide.The mice were randomly divided into control group(injected with equal amounts of saline and phosphate buffer),model group(mouse model of sepsis acute lung injury),naringin group(50 mg·kg-1 naringin injected intraperitoneally 1 hour prior to lipopolysaccharide modeling)and BzATP group(50 mg·kg-1 naringin+5 mg·kg-1 BzATP injected intraperitoneally 1 hour prior to lipopolysaccharide modeling).After modeling,lung tissues were taken 24 h later,lung coefficients were calculated;lung tissue interleukin(-ILβ-1 β),interleukin-10(IL-10)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;the expression of purinergic 2X7 receptor(P2X7R),nucleotide-binding oligomerization structural domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)and nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)proteins were detected by Western blotting.Results The lung coefficients in the control,model,naringin and BzATP groups were(6.26±0.31),(9.09±1.02),(7.02±0.45)and(8.79±0.55)mg·g-1;the contents of TNF-α were(56.41±0.35),(174.68±1.58),(85.23±1.68)and(162.97±3.42)pg·mL-1;the contents of IL-1β were(44.18±7.37),(119.91±17.16),(85.41±2.14)and(104.57±3.39)pg·mL-1;the contents of IL-10 were(50.82±2.89),(28.31±1.86),(42.82±1.98)and(25.19±1.69)pg·mL-1;P2X7 protein expression levels were 0.45±0.16,1.33±0.10,0.64±0.09 and 1.05±0.18;NF-κB protein expression levels were 0.38±0.19,1.29±0.09,0.57±0.11 and 0.92±0.07;NLRP3 protein expression levels were 0.72±0.14,1.28±0.23,0.75±0.09 and 1.27±0.23.Compared with the model group in the control group and naringin group,compared with the naringin group in the BzATP group,the differences of the above indexes were statistically significant(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusion Naringin attenuates acute lung injury in septic mice by inhibiting the P2X7 receptor-mediated NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of Glasgow coma scale(GCS)-Full Out-line of UnResponsiveness(FOUR)scale(GCS-F)score and arterial lactate level for prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)in elderly patients.Methods A total of 278 elderly ICH patients admitted to Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit of the Affiliated Hospital of North China Universi-ty of Science and Technology from January 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively recruited.According score at 90 d after onset,95 of them were assigned into good prognosis group and 183 into poor prognosis group.Basic information,vital signs at admission,pupils,laboratory indica-tors,GCS score and other clinical data were compared between the two groups.Binary logistic re-gression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in elderly ICH patients.ROC curve was drawn to analyze the prognostic value of GCS-F score(including eye opening re-sponse and limb movement in GCS,and brainstem response in FOUR scale)combined with lac-tate level in elderly ICH patients.Results Significantly higher blood pressure,elevated levels of blood glucose,creatinine and arterial lactic acid,increased percentages of supratentorial and sub-tentorial bleeding,and larger blood loss,while obviously lower GCS score and GCS-F score were observed in the poor prognosis group than the good prognosis group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).In the analyses for poor prognosis rate of ICH patients at different levels,the poor prognosis rate of se-vere GCS-F patients was significantly higher than that of patients with same level of GCS score(P＜0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that GPS-F score(OR=1.762,95％CI:1.507-2.061,P=0.000)and arterial lactate level(OR=0.536,95％CI:0.385-0.746,P=0.000)were risk factors for 90-day poor prognosis in elderly ICH patients.ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC value of arterial lactate,GCS score and GCS-F score in predicting 90-day poor prog-nosis in elderly ICH patients was 0.713(95％CI:0.650-0.775),0.827(95％CI:0.774-0.880)and 0.876(95％CI:0.828-0.925),respectively,and the AUC value of GCS-F score combined with arterial lactic acid was 0.919(95％CI:0.886-0.953),which was significantly higher than that of GCS score,GCS-F score and arterial lactic acid alone(P＜0.01).Conclusion GCS-F score has better performance than GCS score in predicting 90-day poor prognosis in elderly ICH pa-tients,especially for severe patients.The GPS-F score combined with arterial lactate level shows the best predictive effectiveness for elderly ICH patients.

The mechanisms underlying autophagic defects in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remain largely unknown. We aimed to elucidate the roles of hepatic cyclooxygenase 1 (COX1) in autophagy and the pathogenesis of diet-induced steatohepatitis in mice. Human nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) liver samples were used to examine the protein expression of COX1 and the level of autophagy. Cox1^Δhepa mice and their wildtype littermates were generated and fed with 3 different NASH models. We found that hepatic COX1 expression was increased in patients with NASH and diet-induced NASH mice models accompanied by impaired autophagy. COX1 was required for basal autophagy in hepatocytes and liver specific COX1 deletion exacerbated steatohepatitis by inhibiting autophagy. Mechanistically, COX1 directly interacted with WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2 (WIPI2), which was crucial for autophagosome maturation. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated rescue of WIPI2 reversed the impaired autophagic flux and improved NASH phenotypes in Cox1^Δhepa mice, indicating that COX1 deletion-mediated steatohepatitis was partially dependent on WIPI2-mediated autophagy. In conclusion, we demonstrated a novel role of COX1 in hepatic autophagy that protected against NASH by interacting with WIPI2. Targeting the COX1-WIPI2 axis may be a novel therapeutic strategy for NASH.

Objective:To investigate the effect of centrosome protein 55 (CEP55) on the proliferation of bladder cancer cells and its related molecular mechanism.Methods:Western blot was used to detect the expression of CEP55 and H3K9me3 in normal bladder tissue cells (SV-HUC-1) and bladder cancer cells (T24) . The bladder cancer cells T24 were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group cells were transfected with siRNA-CEP55, and the control group cells were transfected with siRNA-MOCK. The expression levels of CEP55, H3K9 and H3K9me3 in each group of cells were detected by Western blot. The proliferation ability of each group of cells was detected by CCK8 assay.Results:Western blot assay showed that the expression of CEP55 and H3K9me3 in T24 cells was 0.83±0.15 and 1.01±0.19 respectively. The expressions of CEP55 and H3K9me3 in bladder epithelial SV-HUC-1 cells were 0.35±0.09 and 0.44±0.10 respectively. The expressions of CEP55 and H3K9me3 in bladder cancer cells were higher than those in normal bladder cells (all P<0.05) . siRNA-CEP55 successfully reduced the expression of T24 CEP55 in bladder cancer cells. The absorbance of T24 cells in the experimental group was 1.109±0.105, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (2.208±0.104) . Low expression of CEP55 reduced the proliferation ability of T24 cells ( P<0.05) . Western blot results showed that H3K9 was not significantly changed in T24 cells in the experimental group, and H3K9me3 expression decreased significantly ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:CEP55 can inhibit the proliferation of bladder cancer cells by reducing the trimethylation of H3K9.
