ABSTRACT
The American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine collaborated to develop an evidence-based study about the safe and effective use of Ketamine in total joint arthroplasty(TJA). Based on the systematic review and Meta-analysis of several studies, the following conclusions are drawn: Ketamine can effectively relieve the postoperative pain of patients; Ketamine can effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting; Ketamine can reduce the use of postoperative opioids; intraoperative use of Ketamine does not increase the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions. The above conclusions are graded according to the strength of evidence support. This article interprets the guidelines to provide reference for addressing the effectiveness and safety of Ketamine use in TJA.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of endogenous metabolites in serum of ovariectomized rats and the effect of Erxiantang on them based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS). MethodTwenty-four healthy female SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, model group and Erxiantang group(7.5 g·kg-1), with 8 rats in each group. Bilateral ovarian tissues were excised in the model and Erxiantang groups, and small pieces of adipose tissues were excised in the abdominal cavity of the sham-operated group bilaterally, and gastric administration was started 2 weeks after surgery, and equal volumes of distilled water were gavaged in the sham-operated and model groups. After 12 weeks of administration, blood was collected from abdominal aorta, and non-targeted metabonomics was performed on rat serum by LC-MS, and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) was used to screen differential metabolites. Metabolic pathway analysis was performed based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG), and the levels of key enzymes of metabolic pathways were verified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). ResultThe results of metabonomics showed that 82 differential metabolites between the model group and the sham-operated group were glycerophospholipids, fatty acyls, steroids and steroid derivatives, of which the most significant difference was glycerophospholipids. At the same time, Erxiantang could call back 65 out of 82 differential metabolites, of which 11 were statistically significant, mainly phosphatidylcholine(PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine(LysoPC) in glycerophospholipids, followed by corticosterone and 11-deoxycortisol in steroids and steroid derivatives. Metabolic pathway analysis showed that the pathways of glycerophospholipid metabolism and steroid hormone biosynthesis in model group were changed, and were recovered after the administration of Erxiantang. ELISA results showed that compared with the sham-operated group, serum levels of cholinephosphate cytidylytransferase(CCT), secretory phospholipase A2(sPLA2) and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase(LPCAT), which were the key metabolic enzymes of glycerophospholipid metabolite PC and LysoPC, were significantly decreased in the model group(P<0.05, P<0.01), and choline phosphotransferase 1(CPT1) levels decreased but the difference was not statistically significant, compared with the model group, the levels of CCT, sPLA2 and CPT1 were significantly increased in Erxiantang group(P<0.01). In addition, compared with the sham-operated group, the levels of cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) were significantly increased in the model group(P<0.01), the high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) level was decreased(P<0.05), compared with the model group, the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C were significantly decreased and the level of HDL-C was significantly increased in Erxiantang group(P<0.01). ConclusionEndogenous metabolites and related metabolic pathways in ovariectomized rats were altered, and Erxiantang can reverse some of the different metabolites and related pathways, such as regulating glycerophospholipid metabolism by regulating metabolic enzymes CCT, sPLA2 and CPT1 to increase the levels of PC and LysoPC, and then improve the pathological changes such as lipid metabolism disorder in ovariectomized rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the microecological structure changes and correlation in blood, lung tissue and fecal intestine of mice with sepsis and acute lung injury.Methods:A total of 12 healthy male C57BL/6J mice were divided into the cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) group and sham operation (sham) group by random number table method, with six mice in each group. In the CLP group, acute lung injury model of sepsis mice was prepared by CLP method. In the sham group, only laparotomy but no perforation of cecal ligation was performed. Eye blood, lung tissue, and feces were collected from mice in each group 24 h after surgery. Lung tissue morphological changes were observed by HE staining, and 16s ribosome RNA sequencing was used to analyze the structural changes of microecology of the bacterial flora at each site in sepsis mice and find out the correlation.Results:(1) HE staining showed that mice in the CLP group had exudation into the alveolar cavity of the lung, disordered lung tissue structure, accompanied by a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration, and the lung histopathological score was significantly higher than that in the sham group ( P < 0.01). (2)α diversity analysis showed that there was no statistical significance in blood and fecal samples between the sham group and CLP group, while Ace index, Chao index and Simpson index in lung tissue samples were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). (3) β diversity analysis showed that the differences in blood and fecal samples were greater between the sham group and CLP group than that within the group, and analysis of Bray Curtis, weighted, and unweighted indexes were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). (4) At the phylum level, compared with the sham group, the abundance of Proteobacteria gradually increased, and the abundance of Firmicutes and actinobacteria was decreased in the CLP group. At the genus level, the sham group was dominated by Acinetobacter and Duchenne, while the CLP group was dominated by Escherichia coli and unclassified Enterobacter. Blood flora was more similar to lung tissue flora composition as compared with fecal flora. Conclusions:The distribution of bacterial flora in blood, lung tissue and intestine of sepsis mice with acute lung injury is partially overlapped.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the dynamic changes of soluble programmed cell death protein 1 (sPD-1) and cellular immunity and humoral immunity in patients with sepsis and septic shock, and to explore the relationship between sPD-1 and immunosuppression in sepsis.Methods:This study was a prospective cohort study. Patients with sepsis and septic shock admitted to the ICU of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from June 2018 to December 2018 were included as the study subjects, ordinary postoperative patients admitted to the ICU during the same period were included as the non-sepsis group, and healthy volunteers matched in age and sex were included as healthy controls. The sPD-1, lymphocyte count, serum immunoglobulin and lymphocyte subsets of peripheral blood on the first, third and seventh days after admission to the ICU were detected. The changes of sPD-1 and various immune indices in each group were compared, and the correlation between the indices was analyzed. For healthy controls and non-sepsis patients, only blood samples were tested on the day of inclusion.Results:A total of 90 patients [58 males and 32 females, aged (58.36±17.46) years] were included in this study, including 29 cases of sepsis, 31 cases of septic shock, 15 cases of non-sepsis, and 15 volunteers were recruited as healthy control group. The 28-day fatality rate of patients in the sepsis and septic shock groups was 28.3%. On the first day of ICU admission, the sPD-1 concentration were significantly higher in the septic shock group and sepsis group than those in the non-sepsis group and healthy control group [512.64 (216.85, 1039.41) pg/mL vs. 261.90 (191.96, 421.99) pg/mL vs. 191.56 (151.26, 232.66) pg/mL vs. 200.51 (162.14, 241.26) pg/mL, all P<0.05]. The sPD-1 concentration in the septic shock group was significantly higher than that in the sepsis group, and this phenomenon persisted for at least one week ( P<0.05). The lymphocyte count on the first day in the sepsis and septic shock groups were significantly lower than those in the healthy control and non-sepsis groups (all P<0.05), and the lymphocyte count in the septic shock group remained lower levels until the seventh day of ICU admission (all P<0.05). The percentage of lymphocytes and total T lymphocytes in the sepsis and septic shock groups were significantly lower than those in the healthy control and non-sepsis groups (all P<0.05), while the percentage of total B lymphocytes did not differ between groups (all P>0.05). The percentage of CD8+ T lymphocytes on the seventh day of ICU admission in the septic shock group was still significantly lower than that in the sepsis group [(18.36±2.23)% vs. (28.28±2.97)%, P<0.05]. The levels of serum immunoglobulin IgG and IgM were significantly lower in the sepsis and septic shock group than those in the healthy control and non-sepsis groups (all P<0.05), and the IgG and IgM in the sepsis and septic shock groups returned to normal on the seventh day of ICU admission. The area under the ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of sPD-1 on poor prognosis, and the results showed that sPD-1 on the seventh day of ICU had a good predictive value for 28-day prognosis in patients with sepsis and septic shock, and the best cut-off value was 286.52 pg/mL, with a sensitivity of 100.00% and specificity of 56.25%. Conclusions:Immunosuppression occurs in patients with sepsis and septic shock in the early stage, and the duration of immunosuppression in patients with septic shock is prolonged, but humoral immunosuppression plays a major defense in the early stage, and cellular immunosuppression is dominant in the later stage.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the immune infiltration cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial lesions, and to provide new research directions and therapeutic targets for the pathogenesis and treatment of RA.Methods:The three gene expression data sets GSE77298, GSE55457 and GSE1919 were downloaded from gene expression omnibus (GEO) (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo), and the data were merged with Perl. The "limma" package was used to adjust batch differences. In R, "CIBERSORT" software was used to obtain the expression matrix of 22 kinds of immune cells corresponding to RA synovial tissue samples and normal synovial tissue samples were analyzed with the three packages of "e1071", "parallel" and "preprocessCore". Perl was used to screen samples with P<0.05 in the immune cell matrix. R's "barplot" function was analyzed by the percentage of 22 immune cells in samples with P<0.05. The "pheatmap" package of R was used to visualize heatmaps, and "corrplot" package was used to draw correlation heatmaps. The "vioplot" package of R was used to draw violin plots of differences via the wilcox test. Results:The results of immune cell infiltration analysis showed that in RA synovial tissue samples and normal synovial tissue samples at P<0.05, B cells naive and natural killer cells resting were under-expressed in RA synovial tissue, and plasma cells, mast cells resting, macrophages M1, B cells memory and T cells regulatory were highly expressed in RA synovial tissue. This study also found that in the same sample, the correlation coefficient between natural killer cells resting and neutrophils ( r=0.91) was the highest, indicating synergistic effect between the two. In the same sample, the correlation coefficient between macrophages M0 and plasma cells ( r=-0.88) was the lowest, indicating antagonistic effect between the two. Conclusion:The immune infiltrating cells in RA synovial lesions discovered in this study provide a certain theoretical basis and research direction for the research on the disease mechanism and treatment of RA.

Objective To identify the expression of transcription factor Sp1 in NK/T-cell lymphoma (NK/TCL) cell lines and to investigate the role of Sp1 in regulation of cell invasion. Methods Real-time PCR, immunofluorescence and Western blot were performed to detect the expression of Sp1 in NK/TCL cell lines SNK-1 and SNK-6 and normal NK cells. Expression levels of IGF-1R and MMP-2 were measured by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. Transwell assay was applied to observe the effects of mythramycin A(MIT) on cell invasion. Results Sp1 expression in mRNA and protein were over-expression in NK/TCL cell lines SNK-1 and SNK-6 when compared with normal NK cells. Inhibition of Sp1 by MIT remarkably reduced expression of IGF-1R and MMP-2 in SNK-1, SNK-6 and as a result, or significantly suppressed cell invasion. Expression levels of Sp1 mRNA in SNK-1 and SNK-6 were (9.4±0.3) and (10.6±0.3) foldsincrease as compared with that of control group, respectively (P=0.005 2, P=0.003 7). Levels of Sp1 protein were (5.4±0.3) and (8.6±0.5) foldsincrease times than control groups, respectively (P=0.008 3, P=0.006 9). Inhibition of Sp1 by MIT (100 nmol/L) remarkably reduced expression levels of IGF-1R mRNA by (83.9±3.7) % and (65.8±4.2) % (P = 0.008 2, P = 0.009 7) as compared with controls. Meanwhile, levels of IGF-1R protein were reduced by (51.5±7.1) % and (49.6±9.1) % (P = 0.017 8, P = 0.015 5) as compared with control group. Inhibition of Sp1 by MIT (100 nmol/L) significantly reduced cell invasion and MMP-2 expression in the two cell lines,the cell invasion rates were reduced by (29.6±6.4) % and (37.2±7.6) % (P =0.041 8, P = 0.037 2) in SNK-1 and SNK-6 as compared with control group. The MMP-2 protein levels were found to be (52.7±4.7) % and (29.7±5.6) % (P = 0.028 6, P = 0.020 2) of control group. Conclusion Sp1 is over-expressed in NK/TCL cell lines, and it promotes NK/TCL cell invasion by up-regulating IGF-1R and further increasing MMP-2 expression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyse the relationship between cytochrome C release and the opening degree of the permeability transition pore (PTP) during in post cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) rats. Method Adult male Sprague Dawley (SD)rats were randomly (random number ) divided into a surgical sham group (no CA/CPR) ( n = 8) and CA/CPR group ( n = 48). Animals in CA/CPR group was induced by asphyxiation and icecold 0.5 mmol/L KCI and killed by decapitation and processed for isolation of brain cortex mitochondria at 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,72 h after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). MPTP opening degree was based on the absorbance changes of the mitochondrial suspension at 540 nm. Western blot analysed the release of CytC from mitochondrial to cytoplast. Results Neural cells MPTP always remained opening post ROSC. The opening degree of MPTP was not reaching the peak instantly. While its' change depended on time: remaining low level within 6 h post ROSC,then rapidly opening, till 12 h reaching the largest degree,and at 24 h post ROSC slightly shrunken. All these suggested that mitochondria started to shink. While at 48 h the opening degree largen again, shrunken once more at 72 h,but not reaching the normal level ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Cytochrome C could not be detected in the cytosol in the earlier phases of the sham-operated brain samples but appeared in the mitochondria.The amount of cytochrome C released was proportional after restoration of spontaneous circulation 3 h and 24 h,failed to detect the enzyme in the mitochondria fraction. Conclusions We draw the conclusion MPTP plays a key role in neurocyte apoptosis after CA/CPR, which leads to mitochondria release CytC.
