Andexanet alfa after 4-factor PCC administration for intracranial hemorrhage: a case series

Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis - The ongoing controversy regarding optimal reversal agent for factor Xa-inhibitors is mainly due to lack of comparative data of andexanet alfa (AA) to...     

Pure laparoscopic living donor liver transplantation: Dreams come true

Minimally invasive approaches are increasingly being applied in surgeries and have recently been used in living donor hepatectomy. We have developed a safe and reproducible method for minimally invasive living donor liver transplantation, which consists of pure laparoscopic explant hepatectomy and pure laparoscopic implantation of the graft, which was inserted through a suprapubic incision. Pure laparoscopic explant hepatectomy without liver fragmentation was performed in a 60-year-old man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The explanted liver was retrieved through a suprapubic incision. A modified right liver graft, procured from his 24-year-old son using the pure laparoscopic method, was inserted through a suprapubic incision, and implantation was performed intracorporeally throughout the procedure. The time required to remove the liver was 369 min, and the total operative time was 960 min. No complications occurred during or after the surgery. The patient recovered well, and his hospital stay was of 11 days. Pure laparoscopic living donor liver transplantation from explant hepatectomy to implantation was performed successfully. It is a feasible procedure when performed by a highly experienced surgeon and transplantation team. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm its safety and feasibility.

     

Sinensetin attenuates oxygen–glucose deprivation/reperfusion-induced neurotoxicity by MAPK pathway in human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells

Sinensetin is a polymethoxylated flavone with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. This work aimed to explore the function and mechanism of sinensetin in oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R)-induced neurotoxicity. The overlapping target genes of cerebral stroke and sinensetin were determined according to GeneCards and ParmMapper tools and were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) annotations and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. Human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) were stimulated with OGD/R. Neurotoxicity was investigated by Cell Counting Kit-8, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, qRT-PCR, and TUNEL analysis. The proteins (p38, JNK, and ERK) in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling were measured using Western blotting. Total of 50 overlapping target genes of cerebral stroke and sinensetin were predicted. Pathway analysis showed they might be involved in the MAPK pathway. Sinensetin attenuated OGD/R-induced neurotoxicity by mitigating viability reduction, LDH release, ROS generation, inflammatory response, and apoptosis in HCMECs. Sinensetin weakened OGD/R-induced activation of the MAPK pathway via decreasing the phosphorylation of p38, JNK, and ERK. The pathway inhibitors mitigated the activation of the MAPK signaling, and sinensetin exacerbated this effect. The inhibitors reversed OGD/R-induced neurotoxicity in HCMECs, and sinensetin contributed to this role. Overall, sinensetin prevents OGD/R-induced neurotoxicity through decreasing the activation of MAPK pathway.     

多维价值框架推动思政教学——药事法规课程思政建设探索

目的： 探究药事法规课程思政建设的思路与实施路径，为高等学校药学相关专业本科药事法规课程思政建设提供参考方法： 基于《高等学校课程思政建设指导纲要》的文件要求，汇总分析药事法规课程思政建设要点与思政元素，结合课堂内外资源，提出课程思政建设多维价值框架，并应用于药事法规课程思政教学中。结果与结论： 在课程思政教学中，可遵循“三结合，两巩固，一推动”的多维价值框架，将社会主义核心价值观、职业使命感、民族自豪感、中医药文化自信、家国情怀等思政元素融入其中。专业课程需起到良好的思政教学作用，但应注意坚持以学生为中心，做到“润物细无声”，有效把握不同课程思政元素的应用，并重视任课教师的言传身教，还需要对课程思政建设效果进行评价与反思，以使课程建设不断完善。     

国内健康信息研究作者合著网络及研究主题分析

目的分析核心作者、作者合著网络特征,推测国内健康信息研究的发展阶段、主要研究力量及主要研究主题。方法以CNKI期刊库为数据源,以"健康信息"及相关词为主题词,检索2000—2018年的相关文献,基于普莱斯定律及综合指数法确定核心作者,使用数据统计软件Excel及社会网络分析软件Vcinet,利用综合指数以及社会网络分析法计算作者间联系合作紧密度,并离析高产合作子网。结果文献量以较快指数型速率增长。作者合作率较高且信息传输渠道较通畅,2000—2018年国内研究的合著率稳定在80%,但学者的合作关系较为单一,多集中在同一机构或同一师门,阻碍了跨机构学者的交流合作。主要合作团队活跃度较高且核心成员多为研究领域的核心作者,科研产出量较大且被引频次较高。结论国内研究正处于旺盛发展期,但未形成稳定的核心作者群体。学者间因同机构或师门关系产生固定合作,健康信息管理、公众健康行为、健康教育等为核心作者或活跃团队研究的主要主题。
