The kidney is vulnerable to ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury that can be fatal after major surgery. Currently, there are no effective treatments for I/R-induced kidney injury. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut-derived metabolite linked to many diseases, but its role in I/R-induced kidney injury remains unclear. Here, our clinical data reveals an association between preoperative systemic TMAO levels and postoperative kidney injury in patients after post-cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. By genetic deletion of TMAO-producing enzyme flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) and dietary supplementation of choline to modulate TMAO levels, we found that TMAO aggravated acute kidney injury through the triggering of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and worsened subsequent renal fibrosis through TGFβ/Smad signaling activation. Together, our study underscores the negative role of TMAO in I/R-induced kidney injury and highlights the therapeutic potential through the modulation of TMAO levels by targeting FMO3, thereby mitigating acute kidney injury and preventing subsequent renal fibrosis. This study elucidates the potential of targeting FMO3 to modulate TMAO levels as a therapeutic approach for mitigating acute kidney injury and subsequent renal fibrosis.
Objective To assess sound source recognition benefits in the horizontal plane in patients with bimodal fitting and daily use settings. Methods A total of 24 patients with bimodal fitting were enrolled in the study and performed sound source recognition tasks in the horizontal plane presented via 37 loudspeakers in a semicircular array in front of the participant at 5° intervals. Stimuli were 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 kHz warbles 30 dB above the aided thresholds. Root-mean-square error(RMSE) was used as the assessment index. Results Average performance score was81.95±11.33° when using unilateral cochlear implant(CI) and 78.98±8.12° for bimodal fitting, respectively(t=1.232, P=0.230). Fourteen subjects performed better when using bimodal fitting, while the other 10 subjects performed worse, as compared to using CI only. Their aided interaural threshold differences were not significantly different(z=0.147, P=0.886). Age, duration of deafness and duration of bimodal use showed no correlation with sound localization performance(r=-0.102, P=0.636; r=-0.312, P=0.137; r=0.360, P=0.867; repectively). Conclusion Bimodal fitting did not significantly improve sound source localization ability in these patients. Aided interaural threshold difference, age, duration of deafness and duration of bimodal use do not appear to affect sound localization ability. Sound source localization may depend more on matching the bimodal devices used.

目的 分析足月儿颅内出血的发生情况及危险因素,并探讨其对患儿远期生命质量的影响.方法 纳入152例颅内出血足月儿(观察组),以及304例同期无颅内出血的健康足月儿(对照组).收集两组新生儿及其母亲的临床资料.以电话随访的方式,采用儿童生命质量测定量表4.0中文版普适性核心量表对两组儿童的远期生命质量进行评定.分析足月儿发生脑室周围-脑室内出血(PV-IVH)或硬膜下出血(SDH)的危险因素.结果 足月儿颅内出血的发生率为1.3%(152/12089),以PV-IVH为主要类型(占48.0%),SDH占35.5%.小于胎龄儿、宫内窘迫、产钳助产是足月儿发生PV-IVH的独立危险因素(均P<0.05);阴道分娩、产钳助产是足月儿发生SDH的独立危险因素(均P<0.05).新生儿期合并颅内出血的儿童生命质量测定量表总均分、生理功能维度均分、情感功能维度均分及社交功能维度均分均低于正常儿童(均P<0.05).结论 足月儿颅内出血的发生率为1.3%,以PV-IVH为主要类型.小于胎龄儿、阴道分娩、产钳助产与宫内窘迫可增加足月儿颅内出血的发生风险.新生儿期合并颅内出血的儿童的远期生命质量差于正常儿童,生理功能、情感功能和社交功能均有受损.
Objective:To investigate the effect of dapagliflozin on aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with hypertension.Methods:Patients with T2DM and hypertension who were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Huairou Hospital from September 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled. Body weight, fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c), uric acid, plasma renin concentration, aldosterone level and other indicators were measured and recorded before treatment, and ARR was calculated. Patients were treated with dapagliflozin for 12 weeks, and hematologic indicators were collected again while ARR was also calculated. Paired t test or Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the ARR and related indexes before and after treatment of dapagliflozin. Results:A total of 20 patients were enrolled. ARR before and after treatment were 0.86 (0.73, 1.20) and 0.95 (0.72, 1.32), respectively. However, there was no significant difference between them ( Z=1.12, P=0.263). After 12 weeks of dapagliflozin, FPG ( Z=-3.62, P<0.001), HbA 1c ( Z=-3.76, P<0.001), body weight ( Z=-3.19, P=0.001) and uric acid ( Z=-2.71, P=0.014) decreased significantly compared with baseline. Conclusions:Dapagliflozin has no effect on ARR in patients with T2DM complicated with hypertension, but it has good effects on reducing FPG, uric acid and weight loss.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是痴呆的主要原因之一,是一种以进行性认知功能损伤为主要症状的神经退行性疾病,多发生于老年前期、老年期,病理改变以脑内β-淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)沉积、过度磷酸化微管相关蛋白异常缠结为特征[1].2020年一项研究显示,我国AD发病率居高不下,在中国60岁以上人群中患病率为3.9% [2].AD的症状可以分为A、B、C三大类:A(activity)——生活功能改变,B(behavior)——行为精神症状,C(cognition)——认知功能损害[3].
血液净化技术是终末期肾病患者肾脏替代治疗的重要方式.良好的血管通路是血液净化技术的先决条件.目前,临床中主要使用的血管通路类型有自体动静脉内瘘(native arteriovenous fistulas,AVF)、人造血管(synthetic arteriovenous grafts,AVG)和中心静脉导管(central venous catheter,CVC)[1].虽然,在肾脏病预后质量指南(kidney disease outcome quality initiative,K-DOQI)指南中认为自体动静脉内瘘是透析患者的优先选择,但是中心静脉导管在临床中仍具有不可替代的地位[2].因此,中心静脉导管的安全与通畅尤为重要,封管液的合理应用是保证中心静脉导管正常使用的保障.肝素是目前临床中应用最为广泛的一种封管液,它具有带强负电荷的理化特性,能干扰血凝过程的许多环节,在体内外都有抗凝作用[3].本文针对不同种类肝素封管液对中心静脉置管患者凝血功能的影响研究进行综述.
Objective:To explore the effects and safety of intraoperative application of peripheral venous indwelling needles of different parts in aged patients with acoustic neuroma.Methods:Totally 260 aged patients undergoing acoustic neuroma surgery in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2017 to October 2019 were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table, with 130 cases in each group. Patients in the observation group had a 20G indwelling needle in the saphenous vein of the lower extremities, while patients in the control group had a 20G indwelling needle in the vein of the upper extremities. The operation time of intravenous indwelling needle and the success rate of single puncture were compared between the two groups of patients. The incidence of phlebitis, local exudation and microthrombosis within 48 hours after operation was observed.Results:The operation time of the intravenous indwelling needle in the observation group was (3.58±0.06) min, while that in the control group was (5.42±0.05) min, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=2.35, P< 0.05) . The success rate of single puncture in the observation group was 93.8% (122/130) , while that in the control group was 81.5% (106/130) , and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2=9.12, P< 0.05) . At 48 hours after catheterization, 17 cases of local exudation and 20 cases of phlebitis occurred in the observation group, and 14 cases of microthrombus were found by color doppler ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus, which were less than those in the control group, but the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant (χ 2=1.82, 2.04, 0.54; P>0.05) . Conclusions:The intraoperative application of peripheral venous indwelling needles in lower limbs in aged patients with acoustic neuroma shows better effects than that of peripheral venous catheters in upper limbs. It is clinically easy to operate, safe and practical.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of catheter ablation in patients with new-onset atrial arrhythmia after surgical excision of left atrial myxoma. Methods: Nine patients with new onset atrial arrhythmia and a prior history of left atrial myxoma, who received surgical myxoma excision and catheter ablation between September 2014 and November 2019, were included in the present study. Baseline characteristics, procedural parameters during catheter ablation, severe perioperative adverse events, recurrence rate of arrhythmia and clinical prognosis were analyzed. Kaplan Meier survival analysis was used to define the maintenance rate of sinus rhythm after catheter ablation in this patient cohort. Results: Nine patients were included. The average age was (55.8 ± 9.1) years old (3 male), there were 3 patients (3/9) with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and 6 patients (6/9) with atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia (AFL or AT). Ablation was successful in all patients, there were no perioperative complications such as stroke, pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, vascular complications or massive hemorrhage. During a mean follow-up time of 40.0 (27.5, 55.5) months, sinus rhythm was maintained in six patients (6/9) after the initial catheter ablation. The overall sinus rhythm maintenance rate was 2/3. In addition, 1 out of the 3 AF patients (1/3) developed recurrence of AF at 3 month after ablation, and 2 out of the 6 AFL or AT patients (2/6) developed late recurrence of AF or AFL (19 months and 29 months after ablation), two out of three patients with recurrent AFs or AFL received repeated catheter ablation and one patient remained sinus rhythm post repeat ablation. Meanwhile, there was no recurrence of atrial myxoma, no death, stroke, acute myocardial infarction and other events during the entire follow-up period. Conclusions: Catheter ablation is a safe and feasible therapeutic option for patients with new-onset atrial arrhythmia after surgical excision of left atrial myxoma.
