Live streaming E-commerce platform characteristics: Influencing consumer value co-creation and co-destruction behavior.

Live streaming with goods is developing rapidly as an emerging platform economic model. Consumers can interact with the e-commerce platform in real-time and get a good shopping experience. This in turn generates value co-creation behaviors such as word-of-mouth communication. However, due to the lack of effective audit mechanisms on some platforms, the phenomenon of value co-destruction among them is becoming more and more common. This brings value loss to consumers, e-commerce platforms, and other multiple subjects. Based on the SOR model, this paper collects 212 sample data by using a questionnaire survey. The impact of live banding platform characteristics on consumers' value co-creation and value co-destruction behaviors is analyzed through multiple regression and other methods. The results show that platform information quality, functional quality, and interactive quality all positively affect consumers' value co-creation behavior and negatively affect value co-destruction behavior. Perceived value plays a mediating role, and promotional incentives enhance the positive relationship between platform features and perceived value. Therefore, if the live streaming bandwagon platform provides consumers with sufficiently rich, complete, and timely product information, responds quickly to consumer needs, and has high interaction quality. Consumers are more likely to exhibit value co-creation behavior. This study enriches the theoretical results of value co-creation and value co-destruction. It provides theoretical references for live streaming platforms to inhibit consumers' value co-destructive behaviors and promote value co-creation behaviors. In practice, it is pointed out that live streaming platforms should provide consumers with real information on all aspects of the products, update and improve the performance of the platform in a timely manner, and provide regular training to the staff.

Postoperative hypoxemia for patients undergoing Stanford type A aortic dissection.

Clinically, it is widely recognized that surgical treatment is the preferred and reliable option for Stanford type A aortic dissection. Stanford type A aortic dissection is an emergent and serious cardiovascular disease characterized with an acute onset, poor prognosis, and high mortality. However, the incidences of postoperative complications are relatively higher due to the complexity of the disease and its intricate procedure. It has been considered that hypoxemia, one of the most common postoperative complications, plays an important role in having a worse clinical prognosis. Therefore, the effective intervention of postoperative hypoxemia is significant for the improved prognosis of patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection.

The optimal diagnosis and treatment of intravenous leimyomatosis.

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare form of gynaecological- uterine leiomyoma. Clinically, the diagnosis and treatment are more difficult and challenging due to occult symptoms and clinical presentations, which can be similar to other common diseases. In this report, comprehensive management of a case of IVL is reported and discussed, with the aim of sharing our academic and clinical experience to improve the medical management of IVL.

CTBP1­AS2 inhibits proliferation and induces autophagy in ox­LDL­stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells by regulating miR­195­5p/ATG14.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic progressive disease caused by injury and functional changes in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Long non­coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pivotal regulators in AS development. The present study aimed to explore the roles and molecular mechanisms of lncRNA CTBP1­AS2 in AS progression. A dual­luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR­195­5p is a downstream target miRNA of lncRNA CTBP1­AS2 and miR­195­5p was increased in AS. The expression levels of miR­195­5p and CTBP1­AS2 in the serums of patients with AS and human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells was increased or decreased, respectively, following treatment with oxidized low­density lipoprotein (ox­LDL). Functional experiments showed that the overexpression of lncRNA CTBP1­AS2 inhibited the proliferation of HA­VSMCs and promoted their autophagy following ox­LDL treatment. This effect could be reversed by treatment with ROC­325, the inhibitor of autophagy, or miR­195­5p mimics. Autophagy related 14 (ATG14) was identified to be a target of miR­195­5p, and lncRNA CTBP1­AS2 promoted ATG14 expression by serving as a competing endogenous RNA of miR­195­5p. The present study revealed that lncRNA CTBP1­AS2 may serve a role in AS by inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the autophagy of VSMCs through ATG14 modulation via miR­195­5p. These data may provide a novel therapeutic target for AS.

A case of abdominal bleeding after mitral valvuloplasty assisted by da Vinci robotic surgery.

A 66-year-old female patient was admitted with abdominal bleeding as an unexpected complication of robotic surgery. Assessments included the patient's medical history, physical examination, laboratory data, and abdominal ultrasound scan results. In our case, laparotomy revealed an injury to the diaphragm and liver of the patient caused by the previous robotic surgery. In conclusion, although abdominal bleeding is a rare condition, it should be taken into consideration as a complication of robotic cardiac surgery.

[Protective role of MMP-9 inhibitor batimastat in acute lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect of exogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9), batimastat, in the lung injury induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in dogs. METHODS: Thirty healthy mongrel puppies were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, low-dose group [batimastat 10 mg/(kg.d) for 3 days before operation] and high-dose group [batimastat 30 mg/(kg.d) for 3 days before operation]. The off-pump puppies' model of acute lung injury was established, and hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were monitored. The preoperative and postoperative alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (A-aDO(2)) and respiratory index (RI) were calculated. From the beginning of surgery, blood samples were taken at the time 0, 60, 120, and 270 min. Plasma concentrations of MMP-9 were measured by ELISA, and blood MMP-9 mRNA expressions were determined by RT-PCR. The myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity of centrifugal bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were measured by Colorimetry. And MMP-9 activity was determined by Gelatin zymography. Light and electronic microscope were used to observe the morphological changes of lung tissue. A small piece of left lung tissue was taken, weighed and baked to calculate the wet weight (W/D) index. RESULTS: After cardiopulmonary bypass, the concentrations of MMP-9 and mRNA expressions of the control group were increased significantly, and lung injury was apparent. At 270 min, the MMP-9 plasma concentration of high-dose group (17.36 +/- 1.18) microg/L was significant reducing than control group (30.47 +/- 2.22) microg/L (P < 0.05). After operation, A-aDO(2) and RI of high-dose group were significantly improved than control group (P < 0.05). The W/D index of the high-dose group (2.8 +/- 0.48) was significantly lower than that of control group (4.7 +/- 0.6) (P < 0.05). And the pathological changes of lung tissue were significantly improved in the high-dose group. However, there was no significant difference in the MMP-9 mRNA expression in three groups. CONCLUSIONS: Batimastat plays a role in the protection of the lung injury of CBP by reducing the concentration and activity of MMP-9, the degradation of the cell membrane and pulmonary neutrophil infiltration and reduction of pulmonary edema.
