Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of IBI302 on experimental choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Methods Affinity of IBI302 to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family cytokines (including VEGF-A165, VEGF-A121 and placental growth factor PlGF) and complements (C3b, C4b) was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The antagonist effect of IBI302 on VEGF was measured by proliferation, migration and tube formation tests of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The anti-complement activity of IBI302 was measured by hemolysis test mediated by complement classical pathway and alternative pathway. Rhesus laser-induced CNV model was divided into 5 groups including model control group, bevacizumab group, IBI302 0.25 mg group, IBI302 0.50 mg group and IBI302 1.25 mg group. Fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography were performed on these monkeys at 14 and 28 days after drug delivery to observe the fluorescein leakage area and retinal thickness. The aqueous VEGF concentration was measured at 29 days after drug delivery. Results IBI302 showed good affinity to VEGF-A165, VEGF-A121 and PlGF, as well as C3b and C4b. IBI302 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and tube formation of HUVEC induced by VEGF-A165. IBI302 inhibited the hemolysis induced by complements obviously. At 14 and 28 days after drug delivery, the area of fluorescein leakage and retinal thickness in IBI302 0.25 mg group, IBI302 0.50 mg group, IBI302 1.25 mg group were reduced. The differences of the area of fluorescein leakage and retinal thickness in three IBI302 groups were not significant (P > 0.05). At 29 days after drug delivery, the VEGF concentration in the aqueous of rhesus monkey in bevacizumab group [(38.644±6.521) pg/ml] was decreased than that in model control group [(94.203±17.360) pg/ml], the difference was significant (P < 0.05). The VEGF concentration in the aqueous of rhesus monkey in three IBI302 groups were less than 31.300 pg/ml. Conclusion IBI302 inhibited experimental CNV through blocking the activity of VEGF and complement.
ObjectiveTo screen compounds or drugs can affect the hypoxia induced-gene expression of retinal vascular endothelial cell based on gene expression microarrays and connectivity map (CMAP) technology. MethodsTotally 326 up-regulated and down-regulated genes of hypoxic human embryonic retinal microvascular endothelial cells minduced by cobalt chloride in the previous study were converted into query signature format documents. Gene profile of the disease characteristics was then compared with that of control in CMAP website database, positive and negative compounds related to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) were finally screened out. Results44 and 18 compounds or drugs have positive and negative relationship with ROP respectively by searching CMAP database with differentially expressed genes. Ciclopirox, cobalt chloride, gossypol and withaferin A have positive relationship with ROP. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate, harmalol, naringin and probenecid have a negative effect on ROP. ConclusionsCiclopirox, cobalt chloride, gossypol and withaferin A have a positive effect on ROP. However, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, harmalol, naringin and probenecid have a negative effect.
As a global accidental injury, drowning has a huge spiritual and economic impact on patients, families and society. In order to improve the quality of pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency treatment of drowning, improve the prognosis, improve survival rate, and reduce the burden of drowning, in 2016, the Wilderness Medical Society drafted practice guidelines related to drowning. The first update of this guide was released in June 2019. The updated guide covers the terms of drowning, rescue and resuscitation, emergency treatment, preventive measures and other aspects. This article interprets the updated guidelines in order to provide recommendations for the first aid of drowning.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of intraoperative intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) treatment on coagulation and fibrinolysis, lower extremity venous blood flow velocity, and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with gastric cancer (GC) after radical gastrectomy. MethodsThe patients with GC who underwent radical gastrectomy at Hebei Provincial People’s Hospital from July 2021 to July 2024 were retrospectively enrolled, then the patients were assigned into control group (the patients who did not receive intraoperative IPC) and study group (the patients who received intraoperative IPC), and the propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to conduct 1∶1 matching based on the basic characteristics such as age, gender, body mass index, comorbidities to ensure baseline comparability between the two groups. The incidences of postoperative DVT and lower extremity swelling, and coagulations [prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)] and fibrinolysis [D-dimer (D-D), fibrinogen (FIB), and fibrin degradation products (FDP)], as well as lower extremity venous blood flow velocity were analyzed after PSM. The locally weighted regression was used to analyze the correlation between the coagulation and fibrinolytic functions indexes and the lower extremity venous blood flow velocity. ResultsA total of 120 patients were matched (60 cases per group). The baseline characteristics of both groups were comparable (P>0.05). The incidences of DVT on day 7 and lower extremity swelling on day 1, 3, and 7 after surgery in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The results of repeated-measures analysis of variance showed that there were statistically significant differences in the inter-group, time-related, and group-by-time interaction effects of coagulation and fibrinolysis indexes as well as lower extrimety venous blood flow velocities (P<0.05). The impact of the time factor on coagulation and fibrinolysis indexes and lower extrimety venous blood flow velocities varied with intraoperative IPC intervention measures. After surgery, the PT, TT, APTT, and lower extrimety venous blood flow velocities in the study group first decreased and then increased as compared with those before surgery, and the decrease degree was smaller and the increase degree was larger than those in the control group. After surgery, the D-D, FIB, and FDP in the study group first increased and then decreased as compared with those before surgery, and the increase degree was smaller and the decrease degree was larger than those in the control group. Both PT and TT were significantly positively correlated with femoral vein blood flow velocity (r=0.21, P=0.042; r=0.22, P=0.040), and both also showed significant positive correlations with popliteal vein blood flow velocity (r=0.25, P＜0.001; r=0.20, P=0.032). APTT was only significantly positively correlated with popliteal vein blood flow velocity (r=0.33, P＜0.001). D-D was negatively correlated with the flow velocities of the femoral vein, external iliac vein, and popliteal vein (r=–0.23, P=0.012; r=–0.22, P=0.047; r=–0.37, P<0.001). Both FIB and FDP were negatively correlated with the flow velocity of the femoral vein (r=–0.23, P=0.036; r=–0.27, P=0.002). FIB was also negatively correlated with the flow velocity of the popliteal vein (r=–0.26, P=0.038), and FDP was negatively correlated with the flow velocity of the external iliac vein (r=–0.31, P<0.001). ConclusionBased on the results of this study, intraoperative IPC treatment could improve coagulation and fibrinolytic functions of patients with GC after surgery, and has a certain preventive effect on occurrence DVT of lower extremity.
ObjectiveTo evaluate efficacy and safety of early anticoagulation therapy with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).MethodsThe patients who received PD in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were collected retrospectively, then were divided into the anticoagulant group and the non-anticoagulant group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, tumor property, coagulation function indexes such as prothrombin time (PT), PT activity (PTA), fibrinogen (FIB), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and D-dimer (DD), platelet (PLT), VTE, bleeding related complications etc. were compared between the two groups.ResultsA total of 103 patients underwent PD were included in this study, including 52 patients in the anticoagulant group and 51 patients in the non-anticoagulant group. There were no significant differences in the baseline data such as the gender, age, and preoperative coagulation function indexes, etc. between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of VTE in the anticoagulant group was lower than that in the non-anticoagulant group (13.5% versus 47.1%, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of bleeding between the anticoagulant group and the non-anticoagulant group (9.6% versus 7.8%, P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the coagulation indexes between the two groups before operation and day 1 after operation (P>0.05). On day 8 after operation, the FIB and DD values of the anticoagulant group were significantly lower than those of the non-anticoagulant group (P values were 0.040 and 0.002, respectively). A comparison of different phases in the same group on coagulation indexes between day 8 and day 1 after surgery showed that there were statistically significant differences (P<0.05), the changes of all indexes were within the normal range.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that LMWH administered at 24 h after PD could decrease incidence of VTE and don’t increase risk of bleeding.
ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical characteristics, treatment and prevention of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). MethodsA retrospective analysis of 295 cases of AWE from February 2007 to August 2011 in our hospital was performed. ResultsAll of the patients had abdominal operations before and 99% of them had a history of caesarean section. The mean age of the patients was (31.55±4.52) years old. The average size of the mass was (2.66±1.12) cm, significantly larger than the estimation of ultrasonography before operation which was (1.91±0.83) cm (P<0.001). No relapse was discovered five months to three years after the operation. ConclusionIt is easy to diagnose abdominal wall endometriosis through medical history, clinical characteristics, physical signs and ultrasonic assessment. The prevention of AWE is very important. Operation is still the best treatment for AWE.
