Abstract
A 65-year-old male complained of persistent melena for 6 days, and displayed anemia symptoms without hematemesis, vomiting, and abdominal distention. He was diagnosed as ruptured aneurysm of aortic sinus Valsalva, and had received coronary artery occlusion 1 month ago. After the operation, he was continually prescribed clopidogrel 75 mg once daily. The laboratory examination showed blood hemoglobin concentration was 60 g/L without other conspicuous abnormality. Unfortunately, neither esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) nor colonoscopy found no obvious bleeding lesions. And abdominal computed tomography angiography (CTA) and enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed no obvious abnormal findings. Moreover, capsule endoscopy revealed small intestinal with mucosal erosion (Figure 1A). After discontinued clopidogrel, blood transfusion, and support therapy, his symptoms was resolved with negative fecal occult blood, continued clopidogrel 75 mg once daily, and uneventfully discharged 1 week later.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between the prenatal exposure of per-/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and the neonatal outcome. Methods: A total of 506 maternal infant cohort samples were collected in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province from 2020 to 2021. The exposure levels of seven PFASs in maternal serum before delivery were detected by solid-phase extraction-ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Multivariable linear regression model was used to analyze the influence of prenatal exposure of PFASs on birth weight, birth length and Apgar score. Results: The maternal age, prenatal body mass index and gestation age were (31.3±4.3) years old, (26.7±3.2) kg/m2 and (265.0±28.3) days, respectively. The birth weight, birth length and scores of Apgar-1 and Apgar-5 were (3.1±0.8) kg, (49.3±2.9) cm, (9.88±0.47) points and (9.99±0.13) points, respectively. PFASs were widely distributed in maternal serum, with the highest concentration of (18.453±19.557) ng/ml, (6.756±9.379) ng/ml and (5.057±8.555) ng/ml for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and 6∶2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (Cl-PFESA), respectively. Maternal age, parity and delivery mode were associated with the exposure level of PFASs (P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that PFOS had negative effects on birth weight (β=-0.958), birth length (β=-0.073) and Apgar-5 score (β=-0.288) for neonates in the low birth weight (LBW) group. 6∶2 Cl-PFESA and 8∶2 Cl-PFESA inhibited the birth weight (β=-0.926; β=-0.552) and length (β=-0.074; β=-0.045) of newborn in the LBW group. In addition, 4∶2 fluorotelomer sulfonate (FTS) was associated with increased birth weight (β=0.111) and decreased Apgar-5 score (β=-0.030) in the normal weight group. Conclusion: Prenatal exposure to PFASs is associated with birth weight, birth length and Apgar-5 score. It is necessary to continue to pay attention to the impact of PFASs on fetal growth and development through maternal-fetal transmission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal stenosis is one of the main complications of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the treatment of large-area superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and precancerous lesions (≥ 3/4 of the lumen). Oral prednisone is useful to prevent esophageal stenosis, but the curative effect remains controversial.
AIM To share our experience of the precautions against esophageal stenosis after ESD to remove large superficial esophageal lesions.
METHODS Between June 2019 and March 2022, we enrolled patients with large superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia experienced who underwent ESD. Prednisone (50 mg/d) was administered orally on the second morning after ESD for 1 mo, and tapered gradually (5 mg/wk) for 13 wk.
RESULTS In total, 14 patients met the inclusion criteria. All patients received ESD without operation-related bleeding or perforation. There were 11 patients with ≥ 3/4 and < 7/8 of lumen mucosal defects and 1 patient with ≥ 7/8 of lumen mucosal defect and 2 patients with the entire circumferential mucosal defects due to ESD. The longitudinal extension of the esophageal mucosal defect was < 50 mm in 3 patients and ≥ 50 mm in 11 patients. The esophageal stenosis rate after ESD was 0% (0/14). One patient developed esophageal candida infection on the 30th d after ESD, and completely recovered after 7 d of administration of oral fluconazole 100 mg/d. No other adverse events of oral steroids were found.
CONCLUSION Oral prednisone (50 mg/d) and prolonged prednisone usage time may effectively prevent esophageal stricture after ESD without increasing the incidence of glucocorticoid-related adverse events. However, further investigation of larger samples is required to warrant feasibility and safety.

Abstract
Background
A disposable upper gastrointestinal endoscope can effectively decrease infectious outbreaks associated with endoscope reuse. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a disposable endoscope for upper gastrointestinal examination.
Methods
In a prospective, randomized trial, 144 upper endoscopic procedures were allocated to either the disposable endoscope group or the conventional endoscope group. The primary outcomes were rates of excellent and good image qualities and maneuverability satisfaction. The second outcome included procedure duration, endoscopic diagnosis, and adverse events.
Results
A total of 144 subjects were enrolled in the present analysis and prospectively randomized to 2 study groups. Finally, 70 and 69 subjects were enrolled in the novel disposable endoscope group and the conventional endoscope group, respectively, due to the schedule cancellation of 5 subjects. The baseline characteristics of the patients were similar in both groups. The excellent and good image quality rates and maneuverability satisfaction of the novel disposable endoscope were not inferior to the conventional endoscope (p = 0.99 and p = 0.99, respectively). Moreover, no significant between-group difference was observed in the endoscopic results and adverse events (p = 0.30 and p = 1, respectively). However, the procedure duration in the novel disposable endoscope was longer compared with the conventional endoscope (8.40 ± 4.28 min
vs.
5.12 ± 2.65 min, p < 0.001).
Conclusions
The novel disposable endoscope was as safe, effective, and maneuverable as a conventional endoscope. However, the novel disposable endoscope was associated with a longer procedure duration.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) on resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods: Patients with MDD from Anhui Mental Health Center from October 2017 to May 2019 were included. Using bilateral nucleus accumbens (NAcc) as seed points, changes of RSFC were investigated before and after MECT through resting-state functional magnetic imaging (fMRI). Antidepressant effects were measured by 17 items of Hamilton Depressive Rating Scale (HDRS-17). Correlation analysis was performed between changed HRSD-17 scores and changes of functional connectivity. Results: A total of 40 MDD patients (10 males and 30 females), aged (38±11) years, who received MECT were included in the study. After MECT, patients showed increased RSFC in the right NAcc (rNAcc) and superior frontal gyrus (P<0.001), right supramarginal gyrus (P<0.001), right angular gyrus (rAG) (P= 0.017), right inferior parietal lobule (P= 0.017), left superior frontal gyrus (LSFG) (P<0.001), left middle temporal gyrus (P=0.017) and left angular gyrus (LAG) (P=0.012), respectively. The RSFC changes of rNAcc-LSFG (r=-0.454, P = 0.003), rNAcc-rAG (r=-0.437, P=0.005) and rNAcc-lAG (r=-0.383, P=0.015) were negatively correlated with the changes of HRSD-17 scores. Conclusions: MECT may alleviate major depression by regulating the functional connectivity between the rNAcc and bilateral angular gyrus and left superior frontal gyrus.

Abstract
Duodenal subepithelial lesions (SELs) are increasingly detected during an endoscopic examination. However, no feasible and safe methods are available for removing duodenal SELs. In the present study, we aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of endoscopic resection in combination with ligation (ER-L) in removing the duodenal SELs. A total of 101 patients with duodenal SELs received ER-L from February 2010 to February 2020. The primary outcomes were complete resection, en bloc resection, and R0 resection. The secondary outcomes included procedure duration, bleeding, perforation, and residual lesions. A total of 101 patients with 101 duodenal SELs (ranged from 8.4 mm to 20.2 mm in size) were included in this study. Most of the SELs (95.1%) originated from the submucosal layer and were successfully removed using ER-L. The rates of complete resection, en bloc resection, and R0 resection were 100%, 96.0%, and 88.1%, respectively. The median procedure duration was 8 min. There was no severe complication, except for four patients who developed post-procedure bleeding (4.0%) and recovered after conservative treatment. Furthermore, no residual lesions were detected during the follow-up period (median of 36 months). Indeed, logistic regression analysis showed that the size of duodenal SELs was an independent factor for R0 resection during the ER-L procedure. Conclusively, ER-L was feasible and safe to remove the duodenal SELs that originated from the submucosal layer and were less than 20 mm. However, the feasibility and safety of the ER-L should be further confirmed when removing the duodenal SELs that originated from the muscularis propria (MP) layer and were larger than 20 mm in diameter.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical features of classical and non-classical paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS). Methods: From 2015 to 2020, 48 cases of definite PNS admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China were retrospectively collected, and classification, clinical characteristics, onconeural antibodies and primary tumors were analyzed. The included cases were divided into classical and non-classical groups according to Graus criteria, and the differences of clinical characteristics, onconeural antibodies, combined tumors, time of diagnosis and mortality were compared between the two groups. Results: Among the 48 confirmed patients, 21 (43.8%) were positive for well-characterized onconeural antibodies. There were 28 cases (58.3%) and 20 cases (41.7%) in classic and non-classical PNS groups, respectively. No significant differences of age, sex, clinical involvement site, characteristic positive antibody type, tumor diagnosis rate and follow-up mortality were found between the two groups (all P>0.05). The time of diagnosis in the non-classical PNS group was 3.0 (2.0, 6.5) months, which was significantly longer than that in the classical PNS group 1.0(0.6, 3.0) months (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the combination rate of non-characteristic antibodies in the classical PNS group (10 cases, 35.7%) was significantly higher than that in the non-classical PNS group (1 case, 5.0%) (P=0.016). During the follow-up, 39 patients (81.3%) with tumor were confirmed, and 29 patients (60.4%) were diagnosed with PNS before the tumor was found. Conclusions: The"non-classical"PNSs are common in clinical settings. Diagnosis may be delayed due to the nonclassical symptoms of the patients. When patients have clinical symptoms related to PNS, onconeural antibodies should be detected and the relevant tumors should also be screened. Patients have positive antibodies but with no tumors should be closely followed up for more than 5 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Additional simethicone (SIM) can improve adequate bowel preparation and adenoma detection rate (ADR). However, there is no consensus on the optimal dose of SIM. In this study, we compared the adequate bowel preparation rate with supplementation of split-dose 2 L polyethylene glycol (PEG) with low-dose SIM (200 mg) versus high-dose SIM (1200 mg). METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, observer-blinded trial involving consecutive subjects undergoing colonoscopy. The primary outcome was adequate bowel preparation as assessed by Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) score. RESULTS Four hundred subjects were randomly allocated to low-dose SIM or high-dose SIM group. Baseline characteristics were comparable in the two groups (P > 0.05). No significant between-group differences were observed with respect to total bubble scale (BS) (8.49 ± 1.00 vs 8.39 ± 1.10, P = 0.07), total BBPS score (8.70 ± 0.81 vs 8.29 ± 1.18, P = 0.98), ADR (33.68% vs 31.79%, P = 0.69) or withdrawal time (13 [range, 10-16] min vs 13 [10-15] min, P = 0.96). The intubation time in low-dose SIM group was significantly shorter than that in high-dose SIM group (8 (4-16) min vs 10 [6-17] min, P = 0.04). In addition, BS scores as well as diminutive ADR in right colon were superior in the low-dose SIM group (2.68 ± 0.59 vs 2.52 ± 0.73, P = 0.03 and 54.29% vs 30.30%, P = 0.046, respectively). CONCLUSION Addition of low-dose SIM to split-dose 2 L PEG was as effective as addition of high-dose SIM with respect to adequate bowel preparation, ADR and patient tolerance. However, low-dose SIM was superior with respect to intubation time, right colon BS scores, right colon diminutive ADR and cost savings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a promising therapeutic modality for esophageal achalasia worldwide. However, clinical failure and adverse events of POEM have still been concerned.
AIM To compare the efficacy and safety of a novel mark-guided POEM with standard POEM.
METHODS A total of 133 patients with esophageal achalasia who underwent POEM from May 2013 to May 2019 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Of the 133 patients, there were 64 patients in the mark-guided POEM group and 69 patients in the standard POEM group. The clinical success, procedural duration and adverse events were compared between the two groups at 3 mo, 12 mo and 24 mo postoperatively.
RESULTS Characteristic baseline was similar in the mark-guided POEM group and standard POEM group. The clinical success was comparable between the two groups, ranging from 92% to 98%, at 3 mo, 12 mo and 24 mo postoperatively (all P > 0.5). Eckart score, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire score and SF-36 score were not different between the two groups after treatment (all P > 0.05). No severe adverse events occurred in the two groups. However, mark-guided POEM required shorter procedural duration, and less use of proton pump inhibitors and lower incidence of reflux symptoms than the standard POEM (all P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION Mark-guided POEM and standard POEM were both effective and safe for the treatment of esophageal achalasia. However, the mark-guided POEM was characterized by shorter procedural duration, less use of proton pump inhibitors and lower incidence of reflux symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence is increasing that pathways of antihypertensives may have a role in the pathogenesis of depression. However, how the class of antihypertensives affects depression risk remains unclear. METHODS The effects of different classes of antihypertensives on depression were explored using an insurance database in Beijing, China. Antihypertensives in our study included calcium channel blockers (CCBs), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), beta-blockers (BBs), and diuretics (DIUs). Those initially treated with only one class of antihypertensives were included. Stratified analysis was conducted for demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and statin prescriptions. RESULTS In total, 181,709 newly detected hypertension patients were included. The median follow-up period was 4.33 years and 19,030 participants were with depression by the end. After adjusting for covariates, the incidence density (95% confidence interval, CI) of depression in the BB, ACEI, DIU, CCB, and ARB groups was 3.16 (2.98-3.33), 3.10 (2.91-3.29), 2.70 (2.45-2.94), 2.67 (2.53-2.81), and 2.30 (2.16-2.43) per 100 person-years, respectively. Compared with ARB group, the hazard ratio (95% CI) of depression for BB, ACEI, DIU, and CCB group was 1.37 (1.32-1.43), 1.35 (1.28-1.42), 1.17 (1.08-1.27), and 1.16 (1.12-1.21), respectively. Stratified analysis suggested the highest depression ID remained within the BB or ACEI group. LIMITATIONS Detailed clinical information was unavailable, which may introduce bias. Patients on monotherapy as initial treatment were included and caution is needed for extrapolation. CONCLUSIONS Compared with ARBs, there may be a class effect of other antihypertensives on the risk of depression.

Abstract
Objective: To carry out a quantitative estimate that related to the effects of short-term exposure to PM(2.5) on all-cause mortality and emergency visits in China by using the systematic review and Meta-analysis. Methods: We selected all the studies published before March 2018 from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, PubMed and EMBASE and data on relative risk (RR), excess risk (ER) and their 95%CIs: appeared in these papers were extracted. According to the differences in the size or direction (heterogeneity) of the results, we computed summary estimates of the effect values using a random-effect or fixed effect model. We also conducted the subgroup analysis and Meta-analysis to have assessed the selected studies for the evidence of study bias. Results: A total of 33 original studies, indexed in databases, were identified. Among those studies, 39 sets of data on mortality and 4 sets of data on emergency were valid to show that within the daily concentration range from 47.7 to 176.7 μg/m(3), for 10 μg/m(3) increases in PM(2.5) concentrations, it would increase the daily numbers of deaths by 0.49% (95%CI: 0.39%-0.59%) and 0.30% (95%CI: 0.10%-0.51%) for all-cause deaths and all-cause emergency-room visits, respectively. For subgroup analysis, the combined effect of PM(2.5) in causing short-term all-cause deaths in the northern areas (ER=0.42%, 95%CI: 0.30%-0.54%) seemed lower than that in the southern areas (ER=0.63%, 95%CI: 0.44%-0.82%). The combined effect of PM(2.5) concentration below 75 μg/m(3) (ER=0.50%, 95%CI: 0.37%-0.62%) was higher than that of PM(2.5) concentration ≥75 μg/m(3) (ER=0.39%, 95%CI: 0.26%-0.52%). Conclusion: Within the concentration range from 47.7 to 176.7 μg/m(3), short-term exposure to current level of PM(2.5) might increase both the all-cause daily mortality and daily emergency visits in China.

Abstract
MuDR exhibits the highest transposition activity and insertional mutagenesis frequency in Mutator (Mu) family. If we isolate the MuDRinsertionspecific flanking sequences (MuDRFs), it will be crucial for using Mu elementmediated mutants. The MuDRTAILPCR system was constructed and optimized using a combination of MuDRTIRnested specific primers and 12 arbitrary degenerate (AD) primers, modified reaction system and procedure and mutant DNA templates of 87 genotypes from M2 or M2:3 families created by crossing the W22::Mu line (active MuDR donor parent) from the UniformMu population with the Zong31 (Z31) line (recipient parent). Here 129 different MuDRFs were acquired by MuDRTAILPCR, accounting for 86.60 % of the total mutantspecific agarose gel bands. In addition, we confirmed the authenticity of the nonredundant flanking sequence amplifications. The amplified nonredundant flanking sequences accounted for 65.12 % of the total MuDRFs, and 88.00 % of the nonredundant MuDRFs were inserted inside the genes. These results show that the MuDRTAILPCR system that we developed can be used for specifically isolating MuDRFs.

Abstract
Neandertal is our closest known relative and also an archaic hominid reserving the richest fossils. Whether the Neandertals exchanged their DNA with modern human or not is a matter of debate on the modern human origin. The progresses on the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes of Neandertals in recent years were reviewed in this paper. Recent study has revealed possible genetic contribution of Neandertals to the modern human to some extent, which arose the rethinking of modern human origin. The experiences gained in the research on Neandertals will benefit the study on archaic hominids, unravel the mystery of modern human origin, and enrich the relative theoretical systems in evolutionary biological field.

Abstract
Transient sublethal hyperthermia followed by recovery from heat stress, referred to as heat shock preconditioning, exerts a protective effect on ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury in many systems. This effect is considered to be correlated to heat shock proteins (HSPs) and might be a critical factor in kidney graft function and survival. This study was designed to examine the impact of heat shock preconditioning on kidney isograft function and survival in a model utilizing non-heart-beating (NHB) donors. Four groups of male Lewis rats (n = 10/group) subjected either to whole body hyperthermia (groups A and C) or to sham anesthesia (groups B and D) were allowed 24 h recovery. Thereafter, 20 min of warm ischemia (A/B), and in a separate set of experiments 40 min of warm ischemia (C/D), were induced by suprarenal aortic cross clamping before renal procurement. After 24-h preservation with University of Wisconsin solution at 4 degrees C, orthotopic kidney transplantations were performed to syngeneic bilaterally nephrectomized recipients. Tissue specimens were taken to determine HO-1/HSP32, 72, and 90 induction by Western blot analysis. Renal function was measured by means of serum creatinine and creatinine clearance on days 0, 3, and 7 as well as urine volume, protein content, and creatinine levels daily. HO-1/HSP32 and HSP72 were found to be expressed constitutively. Moreover, heat shock strongly induced renal HSP72 and HSP32/HO-1, and to a lesser extent HSP90, expression. For recipients of group A grafts, the graft survival rate was 10/10, whereas it was 7/10 (70 %) in recipients of group B grafts (log rank p < 0.05). Following 40 min of warm ischemia, 6/10 (60 %) recipients survived, whereas all sham treated animals died with anuria within 6 days (log rank p = 0.01). Heat shock preconditioning strongly improved graft viability and reduced functional impairment. Creatinine clearance (CRC) on day 3 post Tx was 0.43 +/- 0.24 ml/min in preconditioned animals (group A) and 0.07 +/- 0.09 ml/min (p < 0.001) in sham preconditioned (group B), whereas it was 0.91 +/- 0.33 ml/min and 0.03 +/- 0.02 ml/min (p < 0.00 001) on day 7 post Tx. Following 40 min NHB time, CRC in survivors of preconditioned graft recipients (group C) was 0.32 +/- 0.2 ml/min (day 3 post Tx) and 0.23 +/- 0.08 ml/min (day 7 post Tx) and was significantly better than CRC of group B (p < 0.01 and p < 0.00001, respectively). CRCs prior to NHB procedures were comparable in all animals ranging between 1.31 and 1.72 ml/min. Serum creatinine as well as proteinuria were significantly increased after transplantation in both groups but recovered within 5 days in recipients of preconditioned grafts, whereas kidneys from donors without HP did not recover function. Histological alterations were also diminished following HP. Hyperthermic preconditioning induces strong and long lasting HO-1/HSP32, HSP72, and HSP90 expression in rat kidneys. HP increases survival following transplantation and improves renal graft function including proteinuria, volume output, and creatinine clearance. HSP induction might be used to develop novel approaches in clinical transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low flow or no flow is a prefinal step after reperfusion of hepatic allografts. Adenosine is an intrinsic key regulator of physiological and pathological hepatic blood flow. METHODS In a model of rat liver transplantation, the effect of donor pretreatment with adenosine deaminase inhibitors (0, 0.1, 1, 10 micromol erythro-9-[2-hydroxy-3-nonyl]adenine) was studied on hepatic interstitial adenosine concentrations, microcirculatory flow, leukocyte adhesion, and graft survival by means of microdialysis sampling, intravital video microscopy, and laser Doppler flowmetry. RESULTS Donor pretreatment with 1 micromol erythro-9-[2-hydroxy-3-nonyl]adenine increased interstitial adenosine concentrations 5- to 10-fold, for more than 24 hr of cold storage. In LDF studies, mean donor blood flow was increased from 420 +/- 42 perfusion units (PU) to 832 +/- 52 PU and from 475 +/- 79 to 720 +/- 81 PU after reperfusion, and in intravital video microscopy studies from 247 +/- 24 to 281 +/- 39 pl/sec. There was no difference in the number of leukocytes sticking, but a significantly lower percentage of leukocytes rolling (26.1 +/- 1.9 vs. 36.5 +/- 7.5%) along the endothelial wall in the treatment group. Transplant survival after 44 hr cold storage in UW solution was 8/10 in the treatment group and 1/13 in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Donor pretreatment with erythro-9-[2-hydroxy-3-nonyl]adenine increases survival of critically injured liver grafts. Donor or recipient treatment rather than addition of protectants to cold storage solutions are successful strategies to overcome preservation injury and possibly adverse donor factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinically, intracellular type solutions are the most widely used solutions to preserve organs. The optimal ion composition of preservation solutions, however, is still unknown and extracellular-type solutions have frequently been superior to intracellular solutions in various experimental studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we measured extracellular (interstitial) electrolyte concentrations in rat livers, kidneys, hearts and lungs at 4 degrees C by means of microdialysis sampling. RESULTS After 24 h cold ischaemia, [Na+]int and [K+]int were 104 +/- 25 mmol/l and 6.5 +/- 0.7 mmol/l in hearts, 92 +/- 12 mmol/l and 6.9 +/- 1.0 mmol/l in livers, 115 +/- 22 mmol/l and 6.3 +/- 0.9 mmol/l in kidneys and 87 +/- 17 mmol/l and 6.4 +/- 0.6 mmol/l in lungs. After preservation of organs in intracellular-type solutions, [Na+]int was significantly lower for each organ (range from 69 +/- 8 mmol/l to 73 +/- 20 mmol/l) and [K+]int was significantly higher (range from 8.0 +/- 1.7 mmol/l to 9.8 +/- 1.0 mmol/l). In no instance did the interstitial electrolyte concentration equilibrate with the intracellular electrolyte concentration. When the diffusion gradient from the vascular space to the interstitial space was calculated for Na+ and K+, a significantly higher barrier was found for K+ than for Na+ (P<0.001 and P<0.01 for hearts). CONCLUSIONS These studies indicate that during cold storage of rat hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys, intra- and extracellular electrolytes do not equilibrate. Ion exchange stabilises at extracellular Na+ concentrations between 87 mmol/l and 115 mmol/l and K+ concentrations between 6.3 mmol/l and 6.9 mmol/l. Storage of organs in solutions with extracellular-type ion compositions might improve graft function and survival not only after lung and liver but also after heart and renal preservation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal transplantation in infants is frequently complicated by graft thrombosis and accelerated rejection reactions. We herein tested the hypothesis that the amount of blood required to sustain normal perfusion of an adult renal allograft transplanted into a pediatric recipient would surpass the cardiac output and aortic blood flow of the recipient and that the ensuing low flow in full-size grafts (FSG) would induce a release of thrombogenic substances. METHODS In a porcine renal transplant model, adult FSG were transplanted into pediatric recipients. Macro- and microhemodynamic as well as metabolic data were recorded. Surgically size-reduced grafts (RSG) served as controls. RESULTS Donor weight was 55.1+/-4.8 kg and 9.6+/-0.9 kg for recipients. FSG weight was 122+/-16 g and 65+/-14 g for RSG. Blood flow in donor kidneys was 20% higher than the infrarenal aortic blood flow of recipients. After reperfusion, mean arterial pressure in recipients of FSG but not RSG dropped to 64 mmHg, despite an increase in cardiac output by 60%. FSG but not RSG were polyuric and proteinuric. The release of endothelin and thromboxane B2 into the circulation was higher from FSG when compared with RSG (P<0.05 for endothelin after 60 min; NS for thromboxane B2). CONCLUSIONS After transplantation of FSG into pediatric recipients, the macrohemodynamic limitations of the recipient cause microcirculatory disturbances in the graft, which contribute to the release of vasoconstrictive and prothrombotic substances and an impaired early graft function. Some of those effects can be ameliorated by surgically size reducing the renal graft.

Abstract
In rat liver and kidney preservation, hepatic and renal uptake of 3H-adenosine, 3H-glutathione, and 3H-raffinose from University of Wisconsin solution and diffusion to the interstitial space were measured. At 4 degrees C only 0.38+/-0.47% and 2+/-0.92% of the total 3H-adenosine remained in the kidney and in the liver, respectively, but at 37 degrees C the amount remaining was 1+/-1% and 12+/-3% (P<0.001). Hepatic and renal uptake of the impermeant 3H-raffinose was unaffected by temperature. During flush out, interstitial accumulation of adenosine was significantly higher in livers than in kidneys and decreased during 24-h cold storage. Glutathione accumulation in the interstitial space was two orders of magnitude lower than 3H-adenosine accumulation and comparable to the impermeant raffinose. In summary, the bioavailability of components of preservation solutions at 4 degrees C is lower than at physiological temperatures, so that the application of cytoprotectants at 37 degrees C to organ donors, rather than simple addition to the cold storage solution, might improve cold storage preservation of livers and kidneys.

Abstract
The Intoxication of Pesticide Use (IPU) in a county since 1984-1988 was studied 1,345 cases of intoxication were found and two of them died among 732,128 persons investigated during those five years. The incidence rates of IPU were 0.410 8%, 0.166 7%, 0.052 1%, 0.205 7% and 0.090 5% respectively. Analysis on the relationship between the IPU and air temperature showed that they had a positive correlation (r = 0.886, P less than 0.01), indication that air temperature was one of important factors that affected the occurrence of IPU. Suggestions were made for the prevention of IPU.
