RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, the use of stent placement as a bridge to surgery (BTS) has emerged as an alternative to emergency surgery for patients with (OCRC). However, the optimal surgical approach remains indeterminate. This study seeks to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a combined treatment modality involving stent placement and laparoscopic surgery for OCRC presenting with malignant obstruction. METHODS: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov was conducted until June 2023 to identify studies that compared laparoscopic to open surgery in patients with OCBC following stent insertion. RESULTS: The meta-analysis incorporated 12 cohort studies, encompassing 933 patients. There was no statistically significant difference in the 30-day mortality rates between the two groups (relative risk [RR], 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.26 to 4.48; P = 0.95). Compared to the laparoscopic approach group, the open approach group had a higher rate of overall postoperative complications (POCs) (RR 0.52; 95% CI 0.37 to 0.72, P < 0.0001). There was no significant variance in lymph node (LN) dissection number between the groups (mean differences [MD], 1.64; 95% CI - 1.51 to 4.78; P = 0.31). Notably, laparoscopic surgery resulted in less intraoperative blood loss (MD, - 25.84 ml; 95% CI - 52.16 to 0.49; P = 0.05) and a longer operation time (MD, 20.99 mins; 95% CI 2.31 to 39.44; P = 0.03). The laparoscopic approach was associated with a shorter length of hospital stay (LOS) (MD - 3.29 days; 95% CI - 5.27 to 1.31; P = 0.001). Conversely, the open approach group had a higher rate of postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) (RR 0.47; 95% CI 0.23 to 0.96, P = 0.04). Although the number of included studies was insufficient to conduct a meta-analysis, several of them imply that laparoscopic surgery may yield more favorable outcomes in terms of the 3-year overall survival rate (OS), 3-year disease-free survival rate (DFS), 5-year OS, and 5-year DFS when compared to open surgery. It is worth noting that these differences lack statistical significance. CONCLUSION: In patients with OCRC subjected to stent insertion, laparoscopic surgery arguably presents a modest superiority over open surgery by diminishing the overall postoperative risk and potentially reducing the LOS.

Multisite chronic pain (MCP) and site-specific chronic pain (SSCP) may be influenced by circulating inflammatory proteins, but the causal relationship remains unknown. To overcome this limitation, two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to analyse data for 91 circulating inflammatory proteins, MCP and SSCP encompassing headache, back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, stomach abdominal pain and facial pain. The primary MR method used was inverse variance weighting, sensitivity analyses included weighted median, MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier and the Egger intercept method. Heterogeneity was also detected using Cochrane's Q test and leave-one-out analyses. Finally, a causal relationship between 29 circulating inflammatory proteins and chronic pain was identified. Among these proteins, 14 exhibited a protective effect, including MCP (T-cell surface glycoprotein cluster of differentiation 5), headache (4E-binding protein 1 [4EBP1], cluster of differentiation 40, cluster of differentiation 6 and C-X-C motif chemokine [CXCL] 11), back pain (leukaemia inhibitory factor), shoulder pain (fibroblast growth factor [FGF]-5 and interleukin [IL]-18R1), stomach abdominal pain (tumour necrosis factor [TNF]-α), hip pain (CXCL1, IL-20 and signalling lymphocytic activation molecule 1) and knee pain (IL-7 and TNF-ß). Additionally, 15 proteins were identified as risk factors for MCP and SSCP: MCP (colony-stimulating factor 1, human glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and IL-17C), headache (fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand, IL-20 receptor subunit α [IL-20RA], neurotrophin-3 and tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9), facial pain (CXCL1), back pain (TNF), shoulder pain (IL-17C and matrix metalloproteinase-10), stomach abdominal pain (IL-20RA), hip pain (C-C motif chemokine 11/eotaxin-1 and tumour necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12) and knee pain (4EBP1). Importantly, in the opposite direction, MCP and SSCP did not exhibit a significant causal impact on circulating inflammatory proteins. Our study identified potential causal influences of various circulating inflammatory proteins on MCP and SSCP and provided promising treatments for the clinical management of MCP and SSCP.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium (POD) is more prevalent among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Insulin resistance (IR) can be assessed using the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a novel biomarker. This study aims to investigate the predictive potential of the TyG index for POD in elderly patients with T2DM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Elderly patients (≥ 65) with T2DM who underwent non-neurosurgery and non-cardiac surgery were enrolled. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between the TyG index and POD. Additionally, subgroup analyses were performed to compare the sex-specific differences in the predictive ability of the TyG index for POD. RESULTS: A total of 4566 patients were included in this retrospective cohort. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis determined the optimal cut-off value for the TyG index to be 8.678. In the univariate model, a TyG index > 8.678 exhibited an odds ratio (OR) of 1.668 (95% CI: 1.210-2.324, P = 0.002) for predicting POD. In the multivariate regression models, the ORs were 1.590 (95% CI: 1.133-2.252, P < 0.008), 1.661 (95% CI: 1.199-2.325, P < 0.003), and 1.603 (95% CI: 1.137-2.283, P = 0.008) for different models. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that the predictive ability of the TyG index was more pronounced in females compared to males. CONCLUSION: The TyG index shows promise as a novel biomarker for predicting the occurrence of POD in elderly surgical patients with T2DM.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to determine whether systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) combined with prealbumin can provide better predictive power for postoperative pneumonia in patients undergoing lung resection surgery. METHODS: We identified eligible patients undergoing lung resection surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from March 2021 to March 2022. Demographic characteristics, clinical data, and laboratory information were collected and reviewed from the electronic medical records of the patients. To test the effect of the combined detection of SII and prealbumin, we made an equation using logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted to evaluate the predictive powers, sensitivity, and specificity of prealbumin, SII, and SII combined with prealbumin. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to determine the clinical validity and net benefit of different methods of detection. RESULTS: Totally 386 eligible patients were included with a median age of 62.0 years (IQR: 55.0, 68.0), and 57 (14.8%) patients presented with postoperative pneumonia within 7 days after surgery. The multivariate regression analysis showed that preoperative SII as continuous variable was associated with an increased risk of postoperative pneumonia (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.19-2.83, P = 0.011), whereas the prealbumin as continuous variable remained as an independent protective predictor of postoperative pneumonia in the adjusted analysis (OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.37-0.89, P = 0.023). Compared to SII or prealbumin, the combined detection of preoperative SII and prealbumin showed a higher predictive power with area under curve of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.71-0.86, P < 0.05 for all). Additionally, DCA indicated that the combined detection was superior over preoperative SII or prealbumin alone in clinical validity and net benefit. CONCLUSION: Both preoperative SII and prealbumin are independent influencing factors for postoperative pneumonia after lung resection surgery. The combined detection of preoperative SII and prealbumin can significantly improve prediction capability to identify potential postoperative pneumonia-susceptible patients, facilitating early interventions to improve postoperative quality of life for surgical lung resection patients.

PURPOSE: The potential of uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (U-VATS) to reduce chronic pain after thoracic surgery (CPTS) compared to open thoracotomy (OT) remains unexplored. This prospective study aims to assess the incidence of CPTS following U-VATS or OT and identify associated risk factors. METHODS: Patients undergoing thoracic surgery were recruited from March 2021 to March 2022, categorized by surgical approach (U-VATS vs. OT). Standard clinical protocols for surgery, anesthesia, and analgesia were followed. Pain symptoms were assessed using the Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire, with follow-ups up to 6 months. Perioperative factors influencing CPTS at 3 months were analyzed through univariate and multivariate methods. RESULTS: A total of 694 patients were analyzed. Acute pain after thoracic surgery (APTS) was significantly less severe in the U-VATS group (p < 0.001). U-VATS patients exhibited a lower incidence of CPTS at 3 months (63.4% vs. 80.1%, p < 0.001), with reduced severity among those experiencing CPTS (p = 0.007) and a decreased occurrence of neuropathic pain (p = 0.014). Multivariate analysis identified OT incision, moderate to severe APTS (excluding moderate static pain at 24 h postoperative), nocturnal surgery, and lung surgery as risk factors for CPTS. CONCLUSION: This study underscores the potential of U-VATS to reduce both the incidence and severity of CPTS at 3 months compared to OT. Furthermore, it highlights risk factors for CPTS, including OT incision, inadequately managed APTS, lung surgery, and nocturnal surgery. These findings emphasize the importance of considering surgical approach and perioperative pain management strategies to mitigate the burden of CPTS.

Overturning M2 phenotype macrophage polarization is a promising therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer (GC). Diosmetin (DIO) is a natural flavonoid with antitumor effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of DIO on polarization of M2 phenotype macrophages in GC. THP-1 cells were induced to M2 phenotype macrophages and co-cultured with AGS cells. The effects of DIO were determined by flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, CCK-8, Transwell, and western blot. To explore the mechanisms, THP-1 cells were transfected with adenoviral vectors containing tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) or si-TRAF2. DIO (0, 5, 10, and 20 µM) restrained the M2 phenotype macrophage polarization. In addition, DIO (20 µM) reversed the increased viability and invasion of AGS cells induced by the co-culture of M2 macrophages. Mechanistically, TRAF2 knockdown inhibited the effect of M2 phenotype macrophages on AGS cells' growth and invasion. Furthermore, DIO (20 µM) was found to decrease TRAF2/NF-κB activity in GC cells. However, TRAF2 overexpressed reversed the inhibitory effect of DIO on the co-culture system. The in vivo study confirmed that DIO treatment (50 mg/kg) could repress the growth of GC. DIO treatment markedly reduced the expressions of Ki-67 and N-cadherin, and decreased the protein levels of TRAF2 and p-NF-κB/NF-κB. In conclusion, DIO inhibited the growth and invasion of GC cells by interfering with M2 phenotype macrophage polarization through repression of the TRAF2/NF-κB signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: Myocardial injury post-stroke is a common sequela of acute stroke. Triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), a valuable surrogate indicator of insulin resistance, has been suggested to be closely related to cardiovascular outcomes. However, it is unknown whether the TyG index is independently associated with a higher risk of myocardial injury post-stroke. We therefore investigated the longitudinal association between TyG index and risk of myocardial injury post-stroke in older patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and no prior cardiovascular comorbidities. METHODS: We included older patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and no prior cardiovascular comorbidities between January 2021 to December 2021. The individuals were stratified into low and high TyG index groups according to the optimal cutoff value with TyG index. We performed logistic regression analysis, propensity score matching (PSM) analysis, restricted cubic spline analysis, and subgroup analyses to explore the longitudinal association between TyG index and risk of myocardial injury post-stroke. RESULTS: We included 386 individuals with a median age of 69.8 years (interquartile range: 66.6, 75.3). The optimal TyG index cut-off for predicting myocardial injury post-stroke was 8.9 (sensitivity 67.8%; specificity 75.5%; area under curve 0.701). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk of genesis of myocardial injury post-stroke increased with elevated TyG index (odds ratio [OR], 2.333; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.201-4.585; P = 0.013). Furthermore, all covariates were well balanced between the two groups. The longitudinal association between TyG index and myocardial injury post-stroke remained significantly robust (OR: 2.196; 95% CI: 1.416-3.478; P < 0.001) after PSM adjustment. CONCLUSION: Individuals with an elevated TyG index were more susceptible to having an increased risk of myocardial injury post-stroke. TyG index thus might be served as a complementary approach for optimized-for-risk stratification in older patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and no prior cardiovascular comorbidities.

BACKGROUND: Herein, the effect of pre-use of Dexmedetomidine(Dex) on the half-effective dose (ED50) and 95%-effective dose (ED95) of Remimazolam tosilate(RT) in inhibiting the positive cardiovascular response(CR) which means blood pressure or heart rate rises above a critical threshold induced by double-lumen bronchial intubation was evaluated. METHODS: Patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery were divided into groups A (0), B (0.5 µg/kg), and C (1 µg/kg) based on different Dex doses. Group A included subgroups comprising young (A-Y) and elderly (A-O) patients. Neither groups B nor C included elderly patients due of the sedative effect of Dex. Based on the previous subject's CR, the dose of RT was increased or decreased in the next patient using the sequential method. This trial would be terminated when the seventh crossover occurred, at which point the sample size met the stable estimate of the target dose. Heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were monitored throughout the trial, and sedation was assessed using the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) scale. HR and MAP were recorded at baseline (T1), the end of Dex (T2), and the end of RT (T3), the maximum HR and MAP were recorded within 3 min of intubation from beginning to end (T4). There was a positive CR when the T4 levels rose above 15% of the baseline. The ED50/ED95 and corresponding confidence interval were calculated using probability regression. RESULTS: In total, 114 patients completed the trial. Without the use of Dex, the ED50/ED95 of TR inhibiting the positive CR caused by double-lumen bronchial intubation was 0.198/0.227 and 0.155/0.181 mg/kg in groups A-Y and A-O, respectively. The changes in vital signs from T1 to T3 were similar in the subgroups, indicating that the elderly patients were more sensitive to the dose of RT. The ED50/ED95 of RT inhibiting the positive CR caused by double-lumen endobronchial intubation was 0.122/0.150 and 0.068/0.084 mg/kg in groups B and C, respectively. And, the fluctuation of blood pressure from T3 to T4 was reduced by using Dex. RT was 100% effective in sedation with no significant inhibition of circulation. Apart from one case of hypotension occurred in group A-Y, two cases of low HR in group B, and one case of low HR in group C, no other adverse events were noted. CONCLUSIONS: The optimal dose of RT to inhibit positive CR induced by double-lumen bronchial intubation in elderly patients was 0.18 mg/kg and 0.23 mg/kg in younger patients. When the pre-use dose of Dex was 0.5 µg/kg, the optimal dose to inhibit positive CR of RT was 0.15 mg/kg. And, when the pre-use dose of Dex was 1 µg/kg, the optimal dose of RT was 0.9 mg/kg.

Context: Early gastric cancer is a common, malignant, tumor disease. Compared with traditional surgical methods, endoscopic mucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive surgery; however, in practice, it still carries some surgical risks. Teprenone is a common drug that protects the gastric mucosa and promotes the recovery of gastric mucosal and gastrointestinal function. Objective: The study intended to investigate the clinical efficacy of endoscopic mucosal dissection combined with teprenone for early gastric cancer, including an evaluation of the combined treatment using the eCura scoring system, with a view to providing the results as a reference for the choice of treatment modality for early gastric cancer. Design: The research team performed a prospective controlled study. Setting: The study took place in the Department of General Surgery, Huidong, at Zigong Fourth People's Hospital in Zigong, China. Participants: Participants were patients with early gastric cancer, 58 who were admitted to the hospital between January 2019 and June 2020 and 58 who were admitted between July 2020 and December 2021. Intervention: The research team assigned: (1) the 58 patients in the earlier group to the control group, and they received treatment using endoscopic mucosal dissection; and (2) the 58 patients in the latter group to be the intervention group, and they received treatment using endoscopic mucosal dissection combined with teprenone. Outcome Measures: The research team examined participants' postoperative: (1) abdominal pain scores; (2) size of ulcer wound area, (3) complications-delayed bleeding, ulcer perforation, fever, or abdominal pain; (4) risk as measured by the eCura scoring system-low, medium, or high risk; and (5) survival rates of those assessed at different risks under the eCura scoring systems. Results: Postoperatively, the intervention group's abdominal pain scores on days 3 and 5 and the size of the groups' ulcer areas at days 7 and 14 were significantly lower than those of the control group (all P < .001). The intervention group's total incidence of postoperative complications, at 3.45%, was significantly lower than that in the control group, at 20.69% (P = .004). The number of participants low risk was 39 (67.25%), as assessed by eCura scoring system, which was significantly higher than that of the control group, at 22 participants (37.93%). The intervention groups' overall survival rate, at 98.28%, was significantly higher than that of the control group, at 69.49% (P < .001). Conclusions: Endoscopic mucosal dissection combined with teprenone as a treatment for early gastric cancer can achieve a significantly better therapeutic effect than can endoscopic mucosal dissection only. It can reduce the risk of postoperative complications and improve the assessment of risk found with the eCura scoring system. It can have an important role in improving the postoperative survival rate of patients with early gastric cancer and is worthy of clinical application.

BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysregulation and disruption of immune homeostasis have been widely associated with perioperative complications including perioperative ischemic stroke. Although immunometabolite S-2-hydroxyglutarate (S-2HG) is an emerging regulator of immune cells and thus triggers the immune response, it is unclear whether and how S-2HG elicits perioperative ischemic brain injury and exacerbates post-stroke cognitive dysfunction. METHODS: Perioperative ischemic stroke was induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion for 60 min in C57BL/6 mice 1 day after ileocecal resection. CD8+ T lymphocyte activation and invasion of the cerebrovascular compartment were measured using flow cytometry. Untargeted metabolomic profiling was performed to detect metabolic changes in sorted CD8+ T lymphocytes after ischemia. CD8+ T lymphocytes were transfected with lentivirus ex vivo to mobilize cell proliferation and differentiation before being transferred into recombination activating gene 1 (Rag1-/-) stroke mice. RESULTS: The perioperative stroke mice exhibit more severe cerebral ischemic injury and neurological dysfunction than the stroke-only mice. CD8+ T lymphocyte invasion of brain parenchyma and neurotoxicity augment cerebral ischemic injury in the perioperative stroke mice. CD8+ T lymphocyte depletion reverses exacerbated immune-mediated cerebral ischemic brain injury in perioperative stroke mice. Perioperative ischemic stroke triggers aberrant metabolic alterations in peripheral CD8+ T cells, in which S-2HG is more abundant. S-2HG alters CD8+ T lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation ex vivo and modulates the immune-mediated ischemic brain injury and post-stroke cognitive dysfunction by enhancing CD8+ T lymphocyte-mediated neurotoxicity. CONCLUSION: Our study establishes that S-2HG signaling-mediated activation and neurotoxicity of CD8+ T lymphocytes might exacerbate perioperative ischemic brain injury and may represent a promising immunotherapy target in perioperative ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication among elderly patients after surgery. It is unclear whether the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) can be a predictor of POD. We explored the prognostic value of the SII in predicting POD in elderly patients undergoing non-neurosurgery and non-cardiac surgery in a large retrospective cohort. METHODS: We enrolled elderly patients undergoing non-neurosurgery and non-cardiac surgery between January 2014 and August 2019. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the correlation between POD and the SII value as both a continuous and categorical variable. Then, propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was applied to eliminate the confounding effect of covariates and prove our results. Subgroup analyses were then performed to discover the association between the SII and POD in different subgroups. RESULTS: A total of 29,608 patients with a median age of 70 years (IQR: 67-74) were enrolled in the retrospective cohort. The cut-off value of the SII was 650, which was determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The ORs of an SII value > 650 was 2.709 (95% CI:2.373-3.092, P < 0.001), 1.615 (95% CI:1.384-1.882, P < 0.001), 1.855 (95% CI:1.602-2.146, P < 0.001), and 1.302 (95% CI:1.106-1.531, P = 0.001) for prediction of POD in univariate model and three multivariate regression models. After PSM, the OR of an SII value > 650 was 1.301 (95% CI: 1.062-1.598, P = 0.011). The subgroup analysis indicated that the SII indicates a significantly increased risk of POD in patients with Hb < 130 g/L, 4*109/L < WBC ≤ 10*109/L, albumin < 39 g/L, or duration of MAP < 60 mmHg ≥ 5 min. The SII was found to be a useful prognostic predictor of POD for patients of different ages, sexes, and ASA classifications. CONCLUSIONS: The SII had a predictive value for POD in patients undergoing non-neurosurgery and non-cardiac surgery. As an index generated from routine blood tests, the SII has advantages regarding cost and time. After further validation, the SII may provide a new option for POD prediction.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Early identification of high-risk patients of developing postoperative AKI can optimize perioperative renal management and facilitate patient survival. The present study aims to develop and validate a nomogram to predict postoperative AKI after liver resection in older patients. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was conducted involving data from 843 older patients scheduled for liver resection at a single tertiary high caseload general hospital between 2012 and 2019. The data were randomly divided into training (70%, n = 599) and validation (30%, n = 244) datasets. The training cohort was used to construct a predictive nomogram for postoperative AKI with the logistic regression model which was confirmed by a validation cohort. The model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration plot, and decision curve analysis in the validation cohort. A summary risk score was also constructed for identifying postoperative AKI patients. RESULTS: Postoperative AKI occurred in 155 (18.4%) patients and was highly associated with in-hospital mortality (5.2% vs. 0.7%, P < 0.001). The six predictors selected and assembled into the nomogram included age, preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) usage, intraoperative hepatic inflow occlusion, blood loss, and transfusion. The predictive nomogram performed well in terms of discrimination with area under ROC curve (AUC) in training (0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.68-0.78) and validation (0.71, 95% CI: 0.63-0.80) datasets. The nomogram was well-calibrated with the Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square value of 9.68 (P = 0.47). Decision curve analysis demonstrated a significant clinical benefit. The summary risk score calculated as the sum of points from the six variables (one point for each variable) performed as well as the nomogram in identifying the risk of AKI (AUC 0.71, 95% CI: 0.66-0.76). CONCLUSION: This nomogram and summary risk score accurately predicted postoperative AKI using six clinically accessible variables, with potential application in facilitating the optimized perioperative renal management in older patients undergoing liver resection. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT04922866 , retrospectively registered on clinicaltrials.gov on June 11, 2021.

AIM: To assess the efficacy of extraperitoneal colostomy (EPC) in preventing stoma-related complications. BACKGROUND: Transperitoneal colostomy (TPC) is a widely used surgical approach. However, TPCs have been reported to have increased risks of stoma-related complications, such as parastomal hernias, stomal retraction, and stomal prolapse. The purpose of EPC is to reduce these complications. However, there is still a lack of evidence-based studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, MOOSE, PubMed, Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar, and the Cochrane Library were searched to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis with RCTs. The meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS: This study included 5 eligible RCTs. Compared with the TPC group, the EPC group had lower incidence rates of parastomal hernias (RR, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.04-0.52, P = 0.003, I2 = 0%) and stomatal prolapse (RR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.08-0.95, P = 0.04, I2 = 0%), but a higher rate of defecation sensation (RR, 3.51; 95% CI, 2.47-5.0, P < 0.00001, I2 = 37%). No statistically significant differences were observed in stoma retraction, colostomy construction time, stoma ischemia, or stoma necrosis. CONCLUSION: Extraperitoneal colostomies are associated with lower rates of postoperative complications than transperitoneal colostomies. A randomized controlled trial meta-analysis found that permanent colostomies after abdominoperineal resection resulted in better outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate the role of miR-744 and its target genes in ISO protection against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) induced myocardial injury. METHODS: Rat cardiomyocytes H9c2 was used to establish an H/R model in vitro, and the level of miR-744 mRNA was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. CCK-8 and flow cytometry was used to detected cell viability and apoptosis. Myocardial injury markers CK-MB, cTnI, and LDH were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Online bioinformatics software miRDB and miRWalk predicts miR-744 target and its potential binding site, and verifies the target by luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS: After H/R induction, miR-744 mRNA level was remarkedly increased, cell viability was deceased, and apoptosis was increased (p < 0.05). Myocardial injury markers CK-MB, cTnI, and LDH expressions were also increased (p < 0.05). However, ISO pretreatment can significantly alleviate the decrease in cell viability induced by H/R, the increase of cell apoptosis, and the increase of myocardial injury markers, and it play a cardioprotective effect (p < 0.05). More importantly, elevated miR-744 remarkedly weakened the protective effect of ISO on H/R-induced myocardial injury, resulting in decreased cell viability, increased apoptosis, and elevated concentration of myocardial injury indicators (p < 0.05). Luciferase reporter assay confirmed that Sirtuins6 (SIRT6) is a potential target of miR-744 and decreased in H/R-induced myocardial injury, and ISO exposure can reverse its level (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our findings provide new insights that ISO pretreatment can remarkedly regulate miR-744 and its downstream target SIRT6 to mitigate myocardial injury induced by H/R.

In this work, we report a passive wireless eddy current proximity sensor based on inductive-capacitive (LC) resonance using a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The operation principle of the LC proximity sensor to the metal targets was comprehensively discussed through electromagnetic simulation and circuit model. Copper and aluminum were selected as the metal target materials for the measurements. Circular copper plates with different diameters and thickness were used to investigate the influence of the surface area and thickness of the target on the sensitivity. The decreases of the sensitivity with the decrease of the surface area and thickness were observed. The LC proximity sensor showed a high sensitivity of 11.2 MHz/mm for the proximity distance of 1â»3 mm, and large detection range up to 10 mm. The developed LC proximity sensor is promising for passive wireless metal detections and proximity measurements under harsh environments.
RESUMO
This work reports a novel wireless microfluidic biosensor based on low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The wireless biosensor consists of a planar spiral inductor and parallel plate capacitor (LC) resonant antenna, which integrates with microchannel bends in the LTCC substrate. The wireless response of the biosensor was associated to the changes of its resonant frequency due to the alteration in the permittivity of the liquid flow in the microchannel. The wireless sensing performance to different organic liquids with permittivity from 3 to 78.5 was presented. The measured results are in good agreement with the theoretical calculation. The wireless detection for the concentration of glucose in water solution was investigated, and an excellent linear response and repeatability were obtained. This kind of LC wireless microfluidic sensor is very promising in establishing wireless lab-on-a-chip for biomedical and chemical applications.
RESUMO
Tin(II) monosulfide (SnS) nanosheets were synthesized using SnCl4â¢5H2O and S powders as raw materials in the presence of H2O via a facile chemical bath method. Orthorhombic phase SnS nanosheets with a thickness of ~100 nm and lateral dimensions of 2~10 µm were obtained by controlling the synthesis parameters. The formation of a SnO2 intermediate is key to the valence reduction of Sn ions (from IV to II) and the formation of SnS. The gas sensors fabricated from SnS nanosheets exhibited an excellent response of 14.86 to 100 ppm ethanol vapor when operating at 160 °C, as well as fast response and recovery times of 23 s and 26 s, respectively. The sensors showed excellent selectivity for the detection of ethanol over acetone, methanol, and ammonia gases, which indicates the SnS nanosheets are promising for high-performance ethanol gas sensing applications.
RESUMO
This paper presents a kind of passive wireless pressure sensor comprised of a planar spiral inductor and a cavity parallel plate capacitor fabricated through low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The LTCC material with a low Young's modulus of ~65 GPa prepared by our laboratory was used to obtain high sensitivity. A three-step lamination process was applied to construct a high quality cavity structure without using any sacrificial materials. The effects of the thickness of the sensing membranes on the sensitivity and detection range of the pressure sensors were investigated. The sensor with a 148 µm sensing membrane showed the highest sensitivity of 3.76 kHz/kPa, and the sensor with a 432 µm sensing membrane presented a high detection limit of 2660 kPa. The tunable sensitivity and detection limit of the wireless pressure sensors can meet the requirements of different scenes.
