Abstract
Skeletal stem cells (SSC) have gained attentions as candidates for the treatment of osteoarthritis due to their osteochondrogenic capacity. However, the immunomodulatory properties of SSC, especially under delivery operations, have been largely ignored. In the study, we found that Pdpn+ and Grem1+ SSC subpopulations owned immunoregulatory potential, and the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data suggested that the mechanical activation of microgel carriers on SSC induced the generation of Pdpn+Grem1+Ptgs2+ SSC subpopulation, which was potent at suppressing macrophage inflammation. The microgel carriers promoted the YAP nuclear translocation, and the activated YAP protein was necessary for the increased expression of Ptgs2 and PGE2 in microgels-delivered SSC, which further suppressed the expression of TNF-ɑ, IL-1β and promoted the expression of IL-10 in macrophages. SSC delivered with microgels yielded better preventive effects on articular lesions and macrophage activation in osteoarthritic rats than SSC without microgels. Chemically blocking the YAP and Ptgs2 in microgels-delivered SSC partially abolished the enhanced protection on articular tissues and suppression on osteoarthritic macrophages. Moreover, microgel carriers significantly prolonged SSC retention time in vivo without increasing SSC implanting into osteoarthritic joints. Together, our study demonstrated that microgel carriers enhanced SSC reprogramming towards immunomodulatory phenotype to regulate macrophage phenotype transformation for effectively osteoarthritic therapy by promoting YAP protein translocation into nucleus. The study not only complement and perfect the immunological mechanisms of SSC-based therapy at the single-cell level, but also provide new insight for microgel carriers in stem cell-based therapy.

Abstract
The H9N2 subtype of avian influenza virus (H9N2 AIV) has caused significant losses in chicken flocks throughout China. At present, consensus has been reached that field isolates of H9N2 underwent antigenic drift to evolve into distinct groups with significant antigenic divergence from the commercially available vaccines in China. This project continues to monitor the evolution characteristics of H9N2 hemagglutinin (HA) genes in China over the past 3 yr. The results showed that the current circling H9N2 viruses were diversified into h9.4.2.5 subclade, which was genetically distant from commonly used commercial vaccine strains. Compared with vaccine strains or 2014 strains, more than 42.1% of the variable antigenic sites in recent 3 yr' strains have shown significant changes and these stacked changes have caused significant differences in antigenicity. We constructed a recombinant vaccine strain rCQY-GHHA, which uses A/Chicken/China/SichuanCQY/2014 as the framework and A/Chicken/China/SichuanGH/2020 strain, which meets the recent viral antigenic characteristics, as the HA gene donor. The recombinant strain was prepared as an oil-adjuvant inactivated vaccine following an industrial process. The results of the immune protection experiment showed that the rCQY-GHHA vaccine was better than the commercial vaccine strain SS in reducing the morbidity, pathological lesion, virus shedding, and viral load. These results provide a reference for the control of H9N2 AIV in China.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the ultrasound characteristics of small bowel volvulus among adults and to investigate the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of small bowel volvulus. Methods: Totally 34 adults with small bowel volvulus confirmed by clinical diagnosis or surgery and who underwent ultrasound examination at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from August 2017 to October 2022 were enrolled, including 19 males and 15 females, aged (55.0±21.8) years (range: 19 to 94 years). The clinical characteristics, CT images and ultrasound images of the patients were retrospectively reviewed, and the ultra, sound features of small bowel volvulus and its diagnostic efficacy were analyzed. Results: Abdominal pain was the typical clinical symptom of all patients. Other symptoms included 21 cases of abdominal distension, 19 cases of nausea and vomiting, and 13 cases of cessation of passage of stool or flatus. Eight patients had signs of peritonitis and 22 patients had abnormal bowel sounds. Twenty patients had a history of abdominal surgery. Twenty-seven patients underwent surgery for intestinal obstruction, and the remaining 7 patients improved after conservative treatment. All cases were evaluated by ultrasound, 11 cases showed a "whirl sign" and were diagnosed as small bowel volvulus, the diagnostic accuracy rate was 32.4% (11/34), ultrasound simultaneously diagnosed intestinal obstruction in 21 cases, 17 cases of abdominal effusion, 4 cases of intestinal wall thickening, 2 cases of abdominal mass, 1 case of intussusception, 1 case of right sided inguinal hernia. CT and ultrasound had a consistent positive discovery in 88.2% (30/34) of all the patients. Conclusion: Ultrasound is valuable in the diagnosis of small bowel volvulus and the evaluation of complications.

Abstract
In recent intelligent-robot-assisted surgery studies, an urgent issue is how to detect the motion of instruments and soft tissue accurately from intra-operative images. Although optical flow technology from computer vision is a powerful solution to the motion-tracking problem, it has difficulty obtaining the pixel-wise optical flow ground truth of real surgery videos for supervised learning. Thus, unsupervised learning methods are critical. However, current unsupervised methods face the challenge of heavy occlusion in the surgical scene. This paper proposes a novel unsupervised learning framework to estimate the motion from surgical images under occlusion. The framework consists of a Motion Decoupling Network to estimate the tissue and the instrument motion with different constraints. Notably, the network integrates a segmentation subnet that estimates the segmentation map of instruments in an unsupervised manner to obtain the occlusion region and improve the dual motion estimation. Additionally, a hybrid self-supervised strategy with occlusion completion is introduced to recover realistic vision clues. Extensive experiments on two surgical datasets show that the proposed method achieves accurate motion estimation for intra-operative scenes and outperforms other unsupervised methods, with a margin of 15% in accuracy. The average estimation error for tissue is less than 2.2 pixels on average for both surgical datasets.

Abstract
Surgical scene segmentation provides critical information for guidance in micro-neurosurgery. Segmentation of instruments and critical tissues contributes further to robot assisted surgery and surgical evaluation. However, due to the lack of relevant scene segmentation dataset, scale variation and local similarity, micro-neurosurgical segmentation faces many challenges. To address these issues, a high correlative non-local network (HCNNet), is proposed to aggregate multi-scale feature by optimized non-local mechanism. HCNNet adopts two-branch design to generate features of different scale efficiently, while the two branches share common weights in shallow layers. Several short-term dense concatenate (STDC) modules are combined as the backbone to capture both semantic and spatial information. Besides, a high correlative non-local module (HCNM) is designed to guide the upsampling process of the high-level feature by modeling global context generated from the low-level feature. It filters out confused pixels of different classes in the non-local correlation map. Meanwhile, a large segmentation dataset named NeuroSeg is constructed, which contains 15 types of instruments and 3 types of tissues that appear in meningioma resection surgery. The proposed HCNNet achieves the state-of-the-art performance on NeuroSeg, it reaches an inference speed of 54.85 FPS with the highest accuracy of 59.62% mIoU, 74.7% Dice, 70.55% mAcc and 87.12% aAcc.

Abstract
The H9N2 subtype of avian influenza virus (H9N2 AIV) has caused significant losses in chicken flocks throughout China. Our previous research has shown that field isolates of H9N2 underwent antigenic drift to evolve into distinct groups with significant antigenic divergence from the commercially available vaccines. The present study sought to identify which single mutations that have naturally appeared in isolates from the past 5 years have driven antigenic drift. Six high-frequency mutation sites in/near the receptor binding site region were screened by comparing amino acid alignments of the H9N2 AIVs isolated from China between 2014 and 2019. Two substitutions (A168N and D201G) were demonstrated to have a significant impact on the antigenicity but did not change the growth kinetics of the virus. It is worth noting that the D201G substitution not only significantly changed the antigenicity but also caused immune escape against the parental virus. In conclusion, A168N and D201G substitution are newly discovered determinants that can significantly change the antigenicity of H9N2 AIV, which should be tracked during outbreaks.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) for ostial/shaft lesions in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA). Method: A total of 271 patients with isolated ostial/midshaft lesions in unprotected left main coronary artery who received drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation between January 2003 and July 2009 in Beijing An Zhen Hospital were consecutively enrolled . The endpoints of the study were all-cause death, repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Cox regression was carried out to analyze the all-cause mortality. Meanwhile, multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent risk factors of all-cause death. Results: The mean age of the patients was (62±10) years, and 201 of them (74.2%) were male. The median follow-up was 12.5 years (interquartile range: 10.1-14.5 years). During the follow-up, 46 patients (17.0%) died, of whom 20 (7.4%) died of a cardiovascular cause. A total of 38 (14.0%) cases suffered a MI, and 15 (5.5%) cases suffered a stroke. Repeat revascularization was performed in 63 (23.2%) cases. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (HR=1.041, 95%CI: 1.003-1.081, P=0.033), creatinine (HR=1.028, 95%CI:1.014-1.042, P<0.001) and diabetes mellitus (HR=1.924,95%CI: 1.053-3.514, P=0.033) were independent risk factors of all-cause death, whereas left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HR=0.972, 95%CI:0.953-0.992, P=0.007) was a protective factor. Conclusions: During a median follow-up of 12.5 years, the prognosis of PCI for left main ostium/shaft lesion was good. Age, creatinine and diabetes mellitus are independent risk factors of all-cause death.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the current practice of preoperative bowel preparation in elective colorectal surgery in China. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted through wechat. The content of the questionnaire survey included professional title of the participants, the hospital class, dietary preparation and protocol, oral laxatives and specific types, oral antibiotics, gastric intubation, and mechanical enema before elective colorectal surgery. A stratified analysis based on hospital class was conducted to understand their current practice of preoperative bowel preparation in elective colorectal surgery. Result: A total of 600 questionnaires were issued, and 516 (86.00%) questionnaires of participants from different hospitals, engaged in colorectal surgery or general surgeons were recovered, of which 366 were from tertiary hospitals (70.93%) and 150 from secondary hospitals (29.07%). For diet preparation, the proportions of right hemicolic, left hemicolic and rectal surgery were 81.59% (421/516), 84.88% (438/516) and 84.88% (438/516) respectively. The average time of preoperative dietary preparation was 2.03 days. The study showed that 85.85% (443/516) of surgeons chose oral laxatives for bowel preparation in all colorectal surgery, while only 4.26% (22/516) of surgeons did not choose oral laxatives. For mechanical enema, the proportions of right hemicolic, left hemicolic and rectal surgery were 19.19% (99/516), 30.04% (155/516) and 32.75% (169/516) respectively. Preoperative oral antibiotics was used by 34.69% (179/516) of the respondents. 94.38% (487/516) of participants were satisfied with bowel preparation, and 55.43% (286/516) of participants believed that preoperative bowel preparation was well tolerated. In terms of preoperative oral laxatives, there was no statistically significant difference between different levels of hospitals [secondary hospitals vs. tertiary hospitals: 90.00% (135/150) vs. 84.15% (308/366), χ(2)=2.995, P=0.084]. Compared with the tertiary hospitals, the surgeons in the secondary hospitals accounted for higher proportions in diet preparation [87.33% (131/150) vs. 76.78% (281/366), χ(2)=7.369, P=0.007], gastric intubation [54.00% (81/150) vs. 36.33% (133/366), χ(2)=13.672, P<0.001], preoperative oral antibiotics [58.67% (88/150) vs. 24.86% (91/366), χ(2)=12.259, P<0.001] and enema [28.67% (43/150) vs. 15.30% (56/366), χ(2)=53.661, P<0.001]. Conclusion: Although the preoperative bowel preparation practice in elective colorectal surgery for most of surgeons in China is basically the same as the current international protocol, the proportions of mechanical enema and gastric intubation before surgery are still relatively high.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate long-term clinical outcomes of consecutive patients treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) with drug-eluting stents(DES) for ostial/shaft lesions in unprotected left main coronary artery(ULMCA). Method: A total of 259 patients with isolated ostial/midshaft lesions in unprotected left main coronary artery were enrolled consecutively who received DES implantation or underwent CABG between January 2003 and July 2009 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. The endpoints of the study were death, repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Time to the primary endpoint was evaluated according to the Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was applied to compare the incidence of the endpoint. Adjusted risks for adverse outcomes were compared by multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses. Results: A total of 259 patients were included, including 149 in PCI group and 110 in CABG group. And 193(74.5%) cases were males.The age was (61.4±9.8) years old. The median follow-up was 10.1 years (interquartile range 8.3 to 11.2 years) in the overall patients. There were no significant difference for the incidence of death [37.0% vs. 43.1% ,P=0.143] , MI [34.0% vs. 19.4% ,P=0.866], stroke [6.4% vs. 11.7% , P=0.732], repeart revascularization [33.6% vs. 39.9% ,P=0.522] between PCI group and CABG group before multivariate adjusting,according to the incidence calculated with Kaplan-Meier. After adjusting covariates such as age, left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and serum creatine with multivariate Cox hazard regression model, there was still no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions: PCI with DES is as effective and safe as CABG in patients with left main ostium/shaft lesion during a median follow-up of 10.1 years.

Abstract
Abstract Objective To infer postmortem interval (PMI) based on spectral changes of the dorsal skin of rats within 15 days postmortem using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Methods The rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation after anesthesia, and then placed at 25 ℃ and relative humidity of 50%. The FTIR spectral data collected from the dorsal skin at PMI points were modeled with machine learning technique. Results There was no significant difference of absorption peak location among all the PMI groups but their peak intensities changed as a function of PMIs. The model for PMI estimation was constructed using partial least squares (PLS) regression, reaching a R2 of 0.92 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.30 d. As shown in variable importance for projection (VIP), four spectral bands including 1 760-1 700 cm-1, 1 660-1 640 cm-1, 1 580-1 540 cm-1 and 1 460-1 420 cm-1 were determined as important contributions to model prediction. Conclusion Application of the FTIR technique to detect postmortem spectral changes of the rat skin provides a novel proposal for PMI estimation.

Abstract
Abstract Objective To analyze the differences among electrical damage, burns and abrasions in pig skin using Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR-MSP) combined with machine learning algorithm, to construct three kinds of skin injury determination models and select characteristic markers of electric injuries, in order to provide a new method for skin electric mark identification. Methods Models of electrical damage, burns and abrasions in pig skin were established. Morphological changes of different injuries were examined using traditional HE staining. The FTIR-MSP was used to detect the epidermal cell spectrum. Principal component method and partial least squares method were used to analyze the injury classification. Linear discriminant and support vector machine were used to construct the classification model, and factor loading was used to select the characteristic markers. Results Compared with the control group, the epidermal cells of the electrical damage group, burn group and abrasion group showed polarization, which was more obvious in the electrical damage group and burn group. Different types of damage was distinguished by principal component and partial least squares method. Linear discriminant and support vector machine models could effectively diagnose different damages. The absorption peaks at 2 923 cm-1, 2 854 cm-1, 1 623 cm-1, and 1 535 cm-1 showed significant differences in different injury groups. The peak intensity of electrical injury's 2 923 cm-1 absorption peak was the highest. Conclusion FTIR-MSP combined with machine learning algorithm provides a new technique to diagnose skin electrical damage and identification electrocution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore infrared spectrum characteristics of different voltages induced electrical injuries on swine skin by using Fourier transform infrared-microspectroscopy (FTIR-MSP) combined with machine learning algorithms, thus to provide a reference to the identification of electrical skin injuries caused by different voltages. METHODS Electrical skin injury model was established on swines. The skin was exposed to 110 V, 220 V and 380 V electric shock for 30 s and then samples were took, with normal skin tissues around the injuries as the control. Combined with the results of continuous section HE staining, the FTIR-MSP spectral data of the corresponding skin tissues were acquired. With the combination of machine learning algorithms such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), different spectral bands were selected (full band 4 000-1 000 cm-1 and sub-bands 4 000-3 600 cm-1, 3 600-2 800 cm-1, 2 800-1 800 cm-1, and 1 800-1 000 cm-1), and various pretreatment methods were used such as orthogonal signal correction (OSC), standard normal variables (SNV), multivariate scatter correction (MSC), normalization, and smoothing. Thus, the model was optimized, and the classification effects were compared. RESULTS Compared with simple spectrum analysis, PCA seemed to be better at distinguishing electrical shock groups from the control, but was not able to distinguish different voltages induced groups. PLS-DA based on the 3 600-2 800 cm-1 band was used to identify the different voltages induced skin injuries. The OSC could further optimize the robustness of the 3 600-2 800 cm-1 band model. CONCLUSIONS It is feasible to identify electrical skin injuries caused by different voltages by using FTIR-MSP technique along with machine learning algorithms.

OBJECTIVES To analyse the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectral data of renal tissue at different temperatures in rats after death, and to explore the effects of temperature on the FTIR spectral characteristics of renal tissue. METHODS The rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and placed at 4 ℃, 20 ℃ and 30 ℃. The FTIR spectral data of renal tissue were collected at different time points and analysed by data mining method. RESULTS The principal component analysis (PCA) results showed that there were significant trends of clustering in the samples of partial time point at 4 ℃, 20 ℃ and 30 ℃. Partial least square (PLS) regression models were established with the spectral data at three temperature groups. The performance of PLS regression models in 20 ℃ and 30 ℃ groups were more superior than that in 4 ℃ group, and the stability of the model in 20 ℃ group was better than that in 30 ℃ group. CONCLUSIONS There are differences in the FTIR spectral characteristics of renal tissue of rats after death at different temperatures. Temperature has a major impact on the performance of FTIR spectral PLS regression model. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of postmortem interval estimation, the effects of temperature on the model should be considered in the related study by spectral method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse the relationship between Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of rat's spleen tissue and postmortem interval (PMI) for PMI estimation using FTIR spectroscopy combined with data mining method. METHODS Rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and the cadavers were placed at 20 ℃. The FTIR spectrum data of rats' spleen tissues were taken and measured at different time points. After pretreatment, the data was analysed by data mining method. RESULTS The absorption peak intensity of rat's spleen tissue spectrum changed with the PMI, while the absorption peak position was unchanged. The results of principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the cumulative contribution rate of the first three principal components was 96%. There was an obvious clustering tendency for the spectrum sample at each time point. The methods of partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and support vector machine classification (SVMC) effectively divided the spectrum samples with different PMI into four categories (0-24 h, 48-72 h, 96-120 h and 144-168 h). The determination coefficient (R²) of the PMI estimation model established by PLS regression analysis was 0.96, and the root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) and root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV) were 9.90 h and 11.39 h respectively. In prediction set, the R² was 0.97, and the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) was 10.49 h. CONCLUSIONS The FTIR spectrum of the rat's spleen tissue can be effectively analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by the combination of FTIR spectroscopy and data mining method, and the classification and PLS regression models can be established for PMI estimation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the dynamic changes in the frequencies of Th17 (CD3+CD8-IL-17+) and regulatory T cells (Treg, CD4+CD25+CD127low) and Th17/Treg ratio in the peripheral blood in patients with acute hepatitis B (AHB), as well as their association with the outcome of AHB. Methods: A total of 10 AHB patients were enrolled as observation group, and according to the outcome of AHB, these patients were further divided into acute stage group, early recovery group, and full recovery group. Another 10 healthy subjects who underwent physical examination were enrolled as control group. Flow cytometry was used to measure the frequencies of Th17 and Treg in peripheral blood, and the Th17/Treg ratio was calculated. An automatic biochemical analyzer was used to measure liver function parameters, and RT-PCR was used to measure HBV DNA. An one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between groups, and the t-test was used for comparison between any two groups. Results: Compared with the control group, the acute stage group showed significant increases in the frequencies of Th17 and Treg (18.22%±4.13%/6.46%±2.46% vs 0.68%±0.29%/1.62%±0.18%,P< 0.01) and the Th17/Treg ratio (3.37±1.73 vs 0.42±0.20,P< 0.01). Compared with the acute stage group, the early recovery group showed a significant reduction in the frequency of Th17 (3.14%±1.90%,P< 0.01), a significant increase in the frequency of Treg (11.73%±1.76%,P< 0.01), and a significant reduction in the Th17/Treg ratio (0.27±0.19,P< 0.01). Compared with the early recovery group, the full recovery group showed a slight increase in the frequency of Th17 (3.31±0.95,P= 0.888), a significant reduction in the frequency of Treg (6.83%±1.85%,P< 0.01), but which was significantly higher than that in the control group (P< 0.01), and a slight increase in the Th17/Treg ratio (0.52±0.21,P< 0.05), which showed no significant difference between this group and the control group (P= 0.286). In the acute stage of AHB, HBsAg and HBeAg levels were positively correlated with Th17/Treg ratio (r= 0.639,P< 0.05;r= 0.633,P< 0.05). Conclusion: The dynamic changes in the frequencies of Th17 and Treg and the Th17/Treg ratio may be associated with the outcome of AHB.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the predictive value of serial platelet function testing (PFT) on outcome in patients undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Six hundred and two consecutive patients undergoing complex PCI in Anzhen hospital were enrolled during October 2011 to June 2012.Adenosine diphosphate(ADP)-induced platelet aggregation was measured by light transmission aggregometry on the first, sixth and twelfth month after PCI and the mean value was calculated.The cut-off value of high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) was defined as 40%.The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral event (MACCE). Clinical outcomes were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and differences were compared using the log-rank test.Multivariate analyses by Cox proportion hazards regression were applied to identify variables independently associated with the adverse outcomes. Results: Five hundred and eighty-five patients (HTPR, n=285; non-HTPR, n=280) finished the follow-up ((28.47±7.45) months). A total of 33 cases of MACCE were observed during the follow-up, among which 29 cases(8.42%) were in HTPR group and 9 cases (3.21%) in the non-HTPR group.Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested that HTPR was associated with an increased incidence of MACCE (log-rank test, P=0.01). The Cox multivariate analysis indicated that HTPR was an independent risk factor of MACCE (HR=2.69, 95%CI 1.23-5.85, P=0.01) in patients undergoing complex PCI.Incidence of MACCE was similar between HTRP patients receiving standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) or prolonged DAPT (>12 months). Conclusion: Serial PFT could predict the long-term prognosis of patients underwent complex PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cycle ergometer training (CET) has been shown to improve exercise performance of the quadriceps muscles in patients with COPD, and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) may improve the pressure-generating capacity of the inspiratory muscles. However, the effects of combined CET and IMT remain unclear and there is a lack of comprehensive assessment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-one patients with COPD were randomly allocated to three groups: 28 received 8 weeks of CET + IMT (combined training group), 27 received 8 weeks of CET alone (CET group), and 26 only received 8 weeks of free walking (control group). Comprehensive assessment including respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, pulmonary function, dyspnea, quality of life, emotional status, nutritional status, and body mass index, airflow obstruction, and exercise capacity index were measured before and after the pulmonary rehabilitation program. RESULTS Respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, inspiratory capacity, dyspnea, quality of life, depression and anxiety, and nutritional status were all improved in the combined training and CET groups when compared with that in the control group (P<0.05) after pulmonary rehabilitation program. Inspiratory muscle strength increased significantly in the combined training group when compared with that in the CET group (ΔPImax [maximal inspiratory pressure] 5.20±0.89 cmH2O vs 1.32±0.91 cmH2O; P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the other indices between the two groups (P>0.05). Patients with weakened respiratory muscles in the combined training group derived no greater benefit than those without respiratory muscle weakness (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in these indices between the patients with malnutrition and normal nutrition after pulmonary rehabilitation program (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Combined training is more effective than CET alone for increasing inspiratory muscle strength. IMT may not be useful when combined with CET in patients with weakened inspiratory muscles. Nutritional status had slight impact on the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation. A comprehensive assessment approach can be more objective to evaluate the effects of combined CET and IMT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training followed by non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS This investigator-initiated randomized, controlled trial recruited 88 patients with stable GOLD stage IV COPD, who were randomized into 4 equal groups to continue oxygen therapy (control group) or to receive inspiratory muscle training followed by non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (IMT-NPPV group), inspiratory muscle training only (IMT group), or noninvasive positive pressure ventilation only (NPPV group) for at least 8 weeks. The outcomes of the patients were assessed including the quality of life (SRI scores), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), dyspnea (MRC scores), 6-min walking distance (6MWD) and lung function. RESULTS s Compared to baseline values, SRI scores, 6MWT and MRC scores increased significantly after 8 weeks in IMT-NPPV, IMT and NPPV groups, and the improvements were significantly greater in IMT-NPPV group than in IMT and NPPV groups (P<0.05 for all). In IMT-NPPV and IMT groups, MIP and MEP increased significantly after the training (P<0.05), and the improvement was more prominent in IMT-NPPV group (P<0.05). No significant changes were found in pulmonary functions in the groups after 8 weeks of treatment (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Inspiratory muscle training followed by non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, compared with inspiratory muscle training or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation alone, can better enhance the quality of life, strengthen the respiratory muscles, improve exercise tolerance and relieve the dyspnea in patients with COPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the clinical characteristics and prognosis of unprotected left main (ULM) coronary artery disease patients with chronic kidney disease after drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation. METHODS 267 ULM coronary artery disease patients who has implanted DES were included in the study from January 2005 to March 2010. Patients were divided into two groups according to their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): eGFR <60 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) (77 patients), and eGFR≥ 60 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) (190 patients) . The clinical parameters and prognosis of ULM patients treated with DES in different eGFR groups were retrospectively compared. RESULTS In higher eGFR group, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and morbidity of coronary ostial lesions were higher than the other group. Cerebrovascular diseases (13.0% vs 5.3%), chronic total occlusion (CTO, 28.6% vs 12.1%), hypertension (70.1% vs 53.2%) were more common in lower eGFR patients(all P<0.05). Total mortality and cardiac mortality were higher in eGFR<60 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2) group (P=0.016, 0.006, respectively). Low eGFR level was an independent risk factor after adjusting multiple factors. CONCLUSION For the ULM disease patients with reduction in kidney function (eGFR<60 ml·min(-1)·1.73 m(-2)), DES should be selected with a careful study considering its increasing risk of death. Chronic renal insufficiency is a risk factor and may predict poor prognosis for patients with ULM after DES implantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of retroperitoneoscopic donor nephrectomy in elderly donors for renal transplantation. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted with 123 cases of retroperitoneoscopic living donor kidney transplantation in 309th Hospital of PLA from March 2011 to March 2014, including 44 elderly donors (age≥55 years) and 79 young to middle-aged donors (age <55 years). Comparisons were made in terms of postoperative complications in both donors and recipients, renal function recovery in the donors and function of graft in the recipients. RESULTS The clinical baseline data of the two groups shows that glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of donors in the elderly donor group was lower than the young donor group (P=0.04). The 123 donors all underwent retroperitoneoscopic donor nephrectomy successfully. Postoperative complications in donors and recipients of both groups had no significant differences (P=0.60; P=1.00). In the elderly donor group, the mean serum creatinine level of donors was significantly higher than that in the young donors group [(115.8±22.3) vs (102.5±16.3) μmol/L, P<0.01] 3 days after operation; and estimated GFR (eGFR) was lower [(53.0±9.1)vs(59.6±8.3)ml·min(-1)·(1.73 m(2))(-1,) P<0.01]. Serum creatinine and eGFR of the two groups showed no significant differences one week and six months after surgery (all P>0.05). Four recipients in the elderly donor group had delayed graft function (DGF), 3 had acute rejection; 8 recipients in the young donor group had DGF, 5 had acute rejection; no statistically significant differences were observed between the 2 groups (both P=1.00). Recipients' eGFR were higher in the young donor group than in the elderly donor group at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery, but with no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05). After (27.8±12.6) months follow-up, 1 recipient in the elderly donor group died from pulmonary infection; two recipients in the young donor group had kidney dysfunction. Graft survival in the two groups showed no significant difference(P=0.95). CONCLUSIONS Retroperitoneoscopic donor nephrectomy is safe and feasible for elderly donors. With careful preoperative evaluation, precise operation, and close postoperative monitoring and follow-up, it could provide satisfactory clinical outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional lung function parameters, such as forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and inspiratory capacity (IC) are often used to assess the therapeutic outcomes of bronchodilators, but they lack sensitivity. A novel indicator, namely efficiency of neural respiratory drive (NRD), may objectively evaluate the physiological changes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We investigated whether this indicator could be used to more accurately assess the responsiveness to inhaled bronchodilators. METHODS Thirty-six subjects with moderate-to-severe COPD were randomized into group A (n=18) and group B (n=18). Participants in group A inhaled 400 µg placebo, 400 µg salbutamol and 80 µg ipratropium in sequence whereas those in group B had the salbutamol and ipratropium reversed. At different time points after administration of placebo or bronchodilators, evaluated indices included FEV1, FVC, IC, root mean square (RMS) of diaphragm electromyogram (EMGdi), and efficiency of NRD [herein defined as the ratio of minute ventilation (VE) to RMS, or VE/RMS]. RESULTS FEV1, FVC, IC, RMS, and VE/RMS significantly improved after inhaled bronchodilators and VE/RMS had the largest improvement among five indices. The detection efficiency of VE/RMS was greater than FEV1, FVC, IC (all P<0.05), but not different from RMS. The accuracy and sensitivity of VE/RMS were significantly higher than FEV1, FVC, IC, and RMS (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Efficiency of NRD may be a sensitive tool to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled bronchodilators in COPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of inhaled short-acting bronchodilators on diaphragm function and neural respiratory drive in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during maximal isocapnic ventilation (MIV). METHODS Forty-seven patient with moderate to severe COPD were randomized into 4 groups: placebo group (n=12), salbutamol group (n=13), ipratropium group (n=10), and combined group (salbutamol and ipratropium, n=12). Each subject received an initial MIV for 3 min at baseline and inhaled placebo (400 µg), salbutamol (400 µg), ipratropium (80 µg), or both salbutamol and ipratropium, followed 30 min later by another 3 min of MIV. The parameters of diaphragm function and neural respiratory drive were monitored continuously and calculated during MIV. RESULTS During the initial MIV, all the patients experienced a linear increase in root mean square (RMS) of diaphragm electromyogram with a gradual decrease in transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi), minute ventilation (VE), and VE/RMS, and these parameters all improved significantly after inhalation of the bronchodilators. Compared with the placebo group at the same time point, the 3 bronchodilator-treated groups showed significantly decreased RMS and Borg score and increased Pdi, VE and VE/RMS; VE/RMS was the highest in the combined treatment group (P<0.05). The Delta Borg was significantly correlated with Delta Pdi, Delta VE, Delta RMS, and Delta VE/RMS (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In COPD patients, inhaled short-acting bronchodilators can alleviate diaphragm fatigue during MIV, increase lung ventilation, reduce neural respiratory drive, and improve neuro-ventilatory coupling to relieve dyspnoea, and the combination of β-2 agonists and anti-muscarinic antagonists produces a stronger efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are widely used in combination with second controller medications in the management of asthma in adults and children. There lacks a systematic comparison between addition of leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) and theophylline to ICS. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the difference of the efficacy and safety profile of adding either LTRAs or theophylline to ICS in adults and children with symptomatic asthma. METHODS Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published prior to November 2014 were acquired through systematically searching and selected based on the established inclusion criteria for publications. The data extracted from the included studies were further analyzed by a meta-analysis. RESULTS We included eight RCTs, of which six recruited adults and two recruited children aged 5 to 14 years. The primary outcomes were changes in lung function from baseline, including forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF). Overall, addition of LTRAs led to significantly better morning PEF {mean difference (MD) 16.94 [95% confidence interval (CI): 11.49-22.39] L/min, P<0.01} and FEV1 [MD 0.09 (95% CI: 0.03-0.15) L, P=0.005] as compared to addition of theophylline. There were no differences between the two treatments in terms of evening PEF, adverse events, rescue medication use and asthma exacerbation. CONCLUSIONS The combination of LTRA and ICS leads to modestly greater improvement in lung function than the combination of theophylline and ICS in the treatment of symptomatic asthma. Long-term trials are required to assess the efficacy and safety of these two therapies.

Abstract
A bench scale system integrated with a non-thermal plasma (NTP) and a biotricking filtration (BTF) unit for the treatment of gases containing dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was investigated. DMS removal efficiency in the integrated system was up to 96%. Bacterial communities in the BTF were assessed by PCR-DGGE, which play the dominant role in the biological processes of metabolism, sulfur oxidation, sulfate-reducing and carbon oxidation. The addition of ozone from NTP made microbial community in BTF more complicated and active for DMS removal. The NTP oxidize DMS to simple compounds such as methanol and carbonyl sulfide; the intermediate organic products and DMS are further oxidized to sulfate, carbon dioxide, water vapors by biological degradation. These results show that NTP-BTF is achievable and open new possibilities for applying the integrated with NTP and BTF to odour gas treatment.

OBJECTIVE To analyse and compare the results obtained from acute mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) patients before and after the change of the clinical management principle, to assess the factors responsible for the recent better outcome and determine the best management for this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 41 patients treated for acute MVT admitted in our hospital between 1978 and 2003. Before 1995 (Group I), our policy was to perform surgery in patients with suspected acute MVT. After 1995 (Group II), we changed our policy to a medical approach when achievable. Each patient in this study was assessed for diagnosis, initial management (operative or non-operative), mortality, duration of hospitalisation, and outcome. RESULTS There were 13 in Group I, 28 in Group II. The mean duration of diagnoses made after admission was 7.3 S.D. 2.6 days for patients in Group I, and 1.5 S.D. 1.2 days for those in Group II (p<0.01, Student's t-test). Eleven patients underwent operations and two patients received non-operative treatment initially in group I, the mortality was 39%; while nine patients underwent operations and 19 patients received non-operative management in group II, the mortality was 11% (p<0.05). No death occurred in the patients with initial non-operative management. The mean duration of hospitalisation was 26 S.D. 6.8 days in Group I and 12.6 S.D. 4.6 days in Group II (p<0.01, Student's t-test). No significant difference in 2-year survival rate between the two groups. CONCLUSION Recent improvements in imaging techniques and better understanding of the aetiology have led to a dramatic change in the principle and policy of clinical management for acute MVT, which leads to a more favourable outcome of acute MVT.
