胰岛素强化治疗在2型糖尿病骨折患者围手术期的应用

Objective To investigate the best way to control the blood sugar level during the perioperation of bone fracture patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM).Methods Bone fracture patients with T2DM were randomly divided into three groups:continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion group(insulin aspart,group CSII,n=20),glargine treatment group(insulin aspart+insulin glargine,group GA,n=20),and NPH treatment(insulin aspart+rh-insulin,group NA,n=20).The levels of fasting plasma glucose(FPG)and the 2 hours postprandial glucose(2h PG),blood glucose fluctuation(BGF),insulin dosage(ID),good effective time(GET),incidence of hypoglycemia,dawn phenomenon and infection,average time of stitches removal(ATSR),average hospitalized length(AHL)of three groups were compared.Results FPG and 2hPG,ID in group CSII[(6.32±1.18)mmol/L,(7.72±1.53)mmol/L,(35.40±1.60)IU]and group GA [(6.25±0.88)mmol/L,(7.32±1.17)mmol/L,(36.20±0.80)IU]were significantly lower than those of group NA [(7.44±1.36)mmol/L,(8.52±0.76)mmol/L,(40.50±2.40)IU,all P<0.05],simulaneously,BGF,GET incidence of complications,ATSR,AHL of group CSII and GA were significantly lower than those of group NA(all P<0.05).There were not significant difference between group CSII and group GA.Compared with group CSII,group GA had less costs in-hospital and better practicability.Conclusion Both CSII and insulin glargine combined with insulin aspart can effectively,safely,rapidly and stablely control hyperglycemia.and might be the first choice to control blood sugar for bone fracture patients with T2DM in perioperation.     

Kidney transplant monitoring by anti donor specific antibodies

Donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies were studied by cytotoxicity crossmatching (CTXM) and flow cytometry crossmatching (FCXM) in 117 kidney transplant candidates; the same study was carried out in 33 cadaver-donor kidney recipients, during the first 3 post-transplant months, for which donor cells were available. Pre-transport evaluation showed that 82.9 % of subjects were CTXM negative/FCXM negative, 6.8 % of patients were positive in both tests, and 10.3 % were CTXM negative/FCCM positive. Post-transplant monitoring for donor-specific antibodies (Abs-DS) showed that nine recipients (27.3 %) were FCXM positive; six of them were IgG + and three IgM +. In comparing these results with the clinical course, a significant association between FCXM IgG + and rejection episodes was observed (P < 0.01).     

Sequence-Based analysis of the HLA-DRB1 polymorphism in Metalsa Berber and Chaouya Arabic-speaking groups from Morocco

To examine the genetic diversity in Morocco, the polymorphism at the HLA-DRB1 locus was investigated in two populations: the Metalsa group consisting of Berbers from north Morocco (who speak the Tarifit language and live in the Nador area), and the Chaouya group who are Arabic-speaking people from west Morocco (Atlantic coast) living in the Settat area. The DRB1 alleles of 197 healthy unrelated individuals were identified by direct DNA sequencing of exon 2 using fluorescently-labeled primers. A total of 28 and 29 alleles at DRB1 locus were identified in the Metalsa and Chaouya groups, respectively. The most frequent alleles in the Metalsa group are DRB1*03011 (20.2%), DRB1*0701 (12.12%), and DRB1*1302 (11.11%). In the Chaouya group, DRB1*0701 (16.33%), DRB1*15011 (12.76%), and DRB1*03011 (11.73%) are most common. Each population exhibits some specific variants and some uncommon alleles. The frequency of the DRB1*03011 allele differs significantly between the two populations (p = 0.0311). The DRB1 frequency distributions in the two groups suggest the effects of balancing selection. The interpopulation analysis highlighted a strong relatedness, based on genetic distances, between the two Moroccan groups and the other north Africans (the Moroccans from El Jadida area, Moroccan Souss Berbers, Algerians, and Tunisians), and to a lesser extent with the Iberians, French, and Ethiopians.

Extraction and determination of oxybutynin in human bladder samples by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method is described for the determination of oxybutynin (OXB) in human bladder samples. Following homogenization, tissue samples underwent double extraction with hexane and eventually were concentrated by freeze-drying before analysis. Chromatographic separation was performed with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water-1 M ammonium acetate, pH 7.0 (85:13:2, v/v/v) at a flow-rate of 0.5 ml/min and double (electrochemical and UV) detection was applied. The retention time of oxybutynin eluting peak was around 18 min. Using a standard curve range of 10 to 500 ng/ml the quantification limit with electrochemical detection was 5 ng/ml with an injection volume of 100 microl. Within-day and day-to-day relative standard deviation values were 4.9 and 9.81%, respectively, while a 94% accuracy and a 72% recovery was attained. We applied this method to compare the OXB levels into bladder wall tissue samples after passive diffusion and after electromotive drug administration (EMDA), using a two-chambered poly(vinyl chloride) diffusion cell designed and developed in our laboratory. The results obtained show that EMDA enhanced OXB penetration into bladder wall and that this novel way of local drug administration can be potentially used in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction or urinary incontinence.     

Surgeon experience contributes to improved outcomes in pancreatoduodenectomies at high risk for fistula development

BackgroundPancreatoduodenectomies at high risk for clinically relevant pancreatic fistula are uncommon, yet intimidating, situations. In such scenarios, the impact of individual surgeon experience on outcomes is poorly understood.MethodsThe fistula risk score was applied to identify high-risk patients (fistula risk score 7–10) from 7,706 pancreatoduodenectomies performed at 18 international institutions (2003–2020). For each case, surgeon pancreatoduodenectomy career volume and years of practice were linked to intraoperative fistula mitigation strategy adoption and outcomes. Consequently, best operative approaches for clinically relevant pancreatic fistula prevention and best performer profiles were identified through multivariable analysis models.ResultsEight hundred and thirty high-risk pancreatoduodenectomies, performed by 64 surgeons, displayed an overall clinically relevant pancreatic fistula rate of 33.7%. Clinically relevant pancreatic fistula rates decreased with escalating surgeon career pancreatoduodenectomy (–49.7%) and career length (–41.2%; both P < .001), as did transfusion and reoperation rates, postoperative morbidity index, and duration of stay. Great experience (≥400 pancreatoduodenectomies performed or ≥21-year-long career) was a significant predictor of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula prevention (odds ratio 0.52, 95% confidence interval 0.35–0.76) and was more often associated with pancreatojejunostomy reconstruction and prophylactic octreotide omission, which were both independently associated with clinically relevant pancreatic fistula reduction. A risk-adjusted performance analysis also correlated with experience. Moreover, minimizing blood loss (≤400 mL) significantly contributed to clinically relevant pancreatic fistula prevention (odds ratio 0.40, 95% confidence interval 0.22–0.74).ConclusionSurgeon experience is a key contributor to achieve better outcomes after high-risk pancreatoduodenectomy. Surgeons can improve their performance in these challenging situations by employing pancreatojejunostomy reconstruction, omitting prophylactic octreotide, and minimizing blood loss.     

The sCEA molecule suppressive role in NK and TH1 cell functions in colorectal cancer

The soluble form of carcinoembryonic antigen (sCEA), an oncofetal glycoprotein, is frequently produced by human epithelial-tumor cells, particularly of colorectal origin, and evaluated as a prognostic index of tumor progression and patient survival. sCEA molecules are often present at high concentrations in the peripheral blood of colorectal cancer patients, but the function and significance of this are not well understood. Reported data have demonstrated that sCEA can interfere in NK-cell/tumor-cell interaction by drastically reducing the lysis of tumor cells in a dose-dependent manner and can also suppress T and B cell functions. The aim of our study was to evaluate this situation in colorectal cancer by determining peripheral blood immunological parameters in a group of patients and healthy subjects. We evaluated the interleukin (IL)-2, interferon (IFN) gamma, IL-4, sIL-2R and IL-10 levels in the serum and the release of IFN gamma, IL-4 and IL-10 from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC); the PBMC expression of CD3, CD16 and CD19 phenotypic antigens; the PBMC proliferative responses to IL-2, IL-2 + anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mCD3) and mCD3. The statistical evaluation of our overall results strongly indicates that the high level of the sCEA molecules in the patient's serum might act as a suppressive factor for NK and TH1 immunocompetent cells. This may be the cause of sCEA involvement in tumor progression, and indicates the possibility of an improvement in cancer treatment through its manipulation.
