Objective:
To assess whether carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning increases the incidence of dementia.
Methods:
We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and EMBASE from inception to 14 August 2022. Two authors independently selected studies, assessed the quality of included studies, and extracted data. Any disagreement was resolved by discussion with a third author. Only cohort study with an enough follow-up period was included for systematic reviews and meta-analysis.
Results:
Thirty-three full texts were initially searched, but only three studies met our inclusion criteria, and they were comprised of 134,563 participants who were initially free of dementia. The follow-up period ranged from 9 to 12 years. We found that CO poisoning increased the risk of dementia incidence (adjusted hazard ratio 2.61, 95% confidence interval 1.56 to 4.36, p=0.0003). Subgroup analysis showed that the increased dementia risk was significant in males but not in females, and the highest risk was in young age group, followed by in middle age group, but not in the old one.
Conclusion
Overall the evidence from prospective cohort studies supported a link between CO exposure and an increased dementia risk, although all the included studies were limited to Taiwanese population.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of betulinic acid (BA) on apoptosis and autophagy of human colorectal cancer SW620 cells and the regulatory role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. MethodCell viability was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetry to determine the optimal administration time and dosage for subsequent experiments. Four groups were designed, including blank group and low-, medium-, and high-dose BA groups. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was conducted for the observation of SW620 cell morphology, and annexin-V/propidium iodide double staining for the determination of apoptosis rate in SW620 cells. Hoechst33258 staining and MDC staining were used for the observation of apoptosis and autophagy, respectively. Western blotting was employed to determine the protein levels of B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2(Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax), aspartate proteolytic enzyme-9 (Caspase-9), activated aspartate proteolytic enzyme-3 (cleaved Caspase-3), microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), the mammalian homolog of yeast Atg6 (Beclin-1), p62, phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K), phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), and phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR) in SW620 cells. ResultBA inhibited the activity of SW620, HT29, and HCT116 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The cells treated with BA for 48 h had lower viability than those treated for 24 h (P<0.05, P<0.01). The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of BA at the time point of 48 h was also lower than that at the time point of 24 h (P<0.01), and that for SW620 cells was the minimum. BA induced the apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner and increased the autophagosomes. Compared with the blank group, BA increased the apoptosis rate (P<0.01), up-regulated the protein levels of Bax, Caspase-9, cleaved Caspase-3, and LC3 Ⅱ (P<0.05, P<0.01), and down-regulated the protein levels of p62, p-Akt, p-PI3K, and p-mTOR (P<0.01). Additionally, medium- and high-dose BA up-regulated the protein level of beclin-1 (P<0.01). ConclusionBA may inhibit the activity of SW620 cells by hindering the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway to induce cell apoptosis and autophagy.

The lesion features, en bloc resection rate, complete resection rate, complications, postoperative pathology and recurrence were assessed.Results:Among the 45 patients, 20 were males and 25 were females, with age of 52.0±11.8 years. Of the 46 lesions, 31 (67.4%) were located in the duodenal bulb, 12 (26.1%) in the descending part, and 3 (6.5%) at the junction of bulb and descending part. The diameter of the lesions was 2.4±1.9 cm. There were 14 (30.4%) lesions originated from mucosal layer, 29 (63.1%) from submucosal layer, and 3 (6.5%) from muscularis propria.Postoperative pathology showed 11 (23.9%) cases of Brunner gland tumors, 9 (19.6%) neuroendocrine tumors, 5 (10.9%) ectopic pancreas, 5 (10.9%) lipomas, and 16 (34.8%) other pathological patterns. All 45 patients with 46 lesions underwent ESD successfully, and the en bloc resection rate was 100.0% (46/46), complete resection rate was 91.3% (42/46). Intraoperative bleeding occurred in 1 case (2.2%), which was successfully treated by endoscopy. One (2.2%) delayed perforation occurred and was treated by surgical intervention. Electrocoagulation syndrome occurred in 1 case (2.2%), which was relieved after conservative medical therapy. Two cases received further surgery after ESD. The mean hospital stay was 6.2 days (ranged 2-21 days) and no death occurred. Forty-one cases were followed up for 1-78 months, with mean time of 30 months. During the follow-up period, local recurrence occurred in 1 patient (2.4%).Conclusion:ESD is an effective and safe treatment for duodenal lesions and has a good clinical practical value.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE:To compare the effectiveness and economics of peramivir and oseltamivir in the treatment of influenza complicated with febrile seizures in children. METHODS:In retrospective study,152 children with influenza complicated with febrile seizures were collected from our hospital during Dec. 2018 to Mar. 2019.They were divided into peramivir group(81 cases) and oseltamivir group (71 cases). Fever remission time, medication duration, hospital duration, clinical efficacy (determined by convulsion,cough,nasal obstruction,runny nose,sore throat,etc.),the incidence of rash,the number of children with combined antibiotic and TCM were compared between 2 groups. Cost-effectiveness analysis was used to evaluate cost-effectiveness ratio(CER)and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)of medication regimen in 2 groups. The sensitivity analysis of the effect and total cost were carried out with Logistic regression and multiple linear regression respectively through CER and ICER calculated by reducing 15% drug price. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in fever remission time, medication duration,hospitalization duration,the incidence of rash and proportion of children with combined antibiotics between 2 groups(P>0.05). There was statistical significance in proportion of children with combined TCM and clinical effect,and the proportion of children with combined TCM in peramivir group was significantly lower than oseltamivir group(P<0.001). Clinical effect of peramivir group was significantly better than that of oseltamivir group(P=0.021). Total cost of peramivir group and oseltamivir group were 5 442.84 yuan/person and 5 571.71 yuan/person(P=0.795);CER of them were 54.47 and 56.51;ICER of peramivir group was - 89.38. The results of sensitivity analysis were consistent with those of basic analysis.CONCLUSIONS: Compared with oseltamivir,peramivir is more effective and less costly for children with influenza and febrile seizures.

Objective To investigate the influence of portal hypertension (PHT) on the postoperative complications after hepatectomy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Clinical data of 152 HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from March 2003 to October 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the PHT and non-PHT groups. There were 76 patients in the PHT group including 62 males and 14 females, with a mean age of (49±11) years. There were 76 patients in the non-PHT group including 66 males and 10 females, with a mean age of (49±12) years. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. After hospitalization, all patients received routine examination. The incidence of postoperative complications in two groups was observed and the independent risk factors for postoperative complications were evaluated. Normally distributed data were compared using t test. Non-normally distributed data were compared using Z test. The comparison of rate was conducted using Chi-square test. Independent risk factors for the incidence of postoperative complications were analyzed by Logistic multivariate regression test. Results The incidence of postoperative complications was 42%(32/76) and the liver function-related complications was 36% (27/76) in the PHT group, and were 20% (15/76), 16% (12/76) respectively in the non-PHT group, significant difference was observed between two groups (χ2=8.901, 7.760;P<0.05). No signiifcant difference was observed in the percentage of patients with grade I-II complications between PHT group [75%(24/32)] and non-PHT group [73%(11/15)] (χ2=0.015, P>0.05). No significant difference was observed in the 90-day mortality between PHT group [7%(5/76)] and non-PHT group [3%(2/76)] (χ2=0.599, P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that PHT complication (OR=3.376, 95%CI:1.564-7.287, P<0.05) and number of tumors>2 (OR=1.984, 95%CI:1.248-3.154, P<0.05) were the independent risk factors for postoperative complications. PHT complication (OR=3.231, 95%CI:1.431-7.298, P<0.05), number of tumors>2 (OR=1.832, 95%CI:1.137-2.952, P<0.05) and intraoperative transfusion > 400 ml (OR=2.776, 95%CI: 1.123-6.864, P<0.05) were the independent risk factors for liver function-related complications. Conclusions PHT can increase the incidences of postoperative complications and liver function-related complications after hepatectomy in HCC patients and is the independent risk factor for both complications. However, PHT will not increase the severity of postoperative complications or postoperative mortality.
