Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) often leads to a high incidence of cardiac injury, posing significant challenges in the treatment of severe AP and contributing to increased mortality rates. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) release bioactive molecules that participate in various inflammatory diseases. Similarly, extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by MSCs have garnered extensive attention due to their comparable anti-inflammatory effects to MSCs and their potential to avoid risks associated with cell transplantation. Recently, the therapeutic potential of MSCs-EVs in various inflammatory diseases, including sepsis and AP, has gained increasing recognition. Although preclinical research on the utilization of MSCs-EVs in AP-induced cardiac injury is limited, several studies have demonstrated the positive effects of MSCs-EVs in regulating inflammation and immunity in sepsis-induced cardiac injury and cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, clinical studies have been conducted on the therapeutic application of MSCs-EVs for some other diseases, wherein the contents of these EVs could be deliberately modified through prior modulation of MSCs. Consequently, we hypothesize that MSCs-EVs hold promise as a potential therapy for AP-induced cardiac injury. This paper aims to discuss this topic. However, additional research is essential to comprehensively elucidate the underlying mechanisms of MSCs-EVs in treating AP-induced cardiac injury, as well as to ascertain their safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Background Cardiac arrest is still a global public health problem at present. The neurological outcome is the core indicator of the prognosis of cardiac arrest. However, there is no effective means or tools to predict the neurological outcome of patients with coma and survived 24 hours after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Hypothesis Therefore, we expect to construct a prediction model to predict the neurological outcome for patients with coma and survived 24 hours after successful CPR. Methods A retrospective cohort study was used to construct a prediction model of the neurological function for patients with coma and survived 24 hours after successful CPR. From January 2007 to December 2015, a total of 262 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results The predictive model was developed using preselected variables by a systematic review of the literature. Finally, we get five sets of models (three sets of construction models and two sets of internal verification models) which with similar predictive value. The stepwise model, which including seven variables (age, noncardiac etiology, nonshockable rhythm, bystander CPR, total epinephrine dose, APTT, and SOFA score), was the simplest model, so we choose it as our final predictive model. The area under the ROC curve (AUC), specificity, and sensitivity of the stepwise model were respectively 0.82 (0.77, 0.87), 0.72and 0.82. The AUC, specificity, and sensitivity of the bootstrap stepwise (BS stepwise) model were respectively 0.82 (0.77, 0.87), 0.71, and 0.82. Conclusion This new and validated predictive model may provide individualized estimates of neurological function for patients with coma and survived 24 hours after successful CPR using readily obtained clinical risk factors. External validation studies are required further to demonstrate the model's accuracy in diverse patient populations.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a global public health problem. Prediabetes may be reversed by weight loss, diet, and lifestyle changes. However, without intervention, between 30–50% of individuals with prediabetes develop type 2 diabetes. This retrospective population study was conducted to develop a predictive model of prediabetes and incident type 2 diabetes mellitus using data from 2004 to 2015 from the DRYAD Japanese hospital database. Material/Methods A retrospective longitudinal population study was conducted using the DRYAD database from Murakami Memorial Hospital, Gifu, Japan, to construct a predictive model for prediabetes and incident type 2 diabetes mellitus in the population. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were performed to identify the variables that were associated with prediabetes. These variables were used to construct (75% samples) and verify (25% samples) the predictive model. Results From 2004 to 2015, a total of 11,113 cases were identified. Multivariate logistic regression analysis included the six variables of age, waist circumference, smoking history, the presence of fatty liver, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level. Data were used to construct (75% samples) and verify (25% samples) in a predictive model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of the predictive model was 0.87 (0.85–0.89) in the training cohort and 0.87 (0.86–0.90) in the validation cohort. Conclusions A prognostic model based on six variables was predictive for incident type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes in a healthy population in Japan.

Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a fatal and common clinical disorder in critically ill patients. Recent studies have shown that the relationship between BMI and the outcome of patients with AKI undergoing CRRT is conflicting. Methods: A retrospective cohort study based on data reuse. Univariate analysis, multi-factor regression analysis and subgroup analyses were used to explore the association of the BMI with the 28-days mortality risk in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT. Results: From January 2009 to September 2016, a total of 1120 cases met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in this study. The univariate analysis showed that BMI was associated with 28-days mortality of patients with AKI undergoing CRRT, its HR value was 0.98 (0.96, 0.99). The multi-factor regression analysis showed that BMI was not associated with 28-days mortality of patients with AKI undergoing CRRT in the four models, the adjusted HR value of four models were 1.00 (0.96, 1.04), 1.01 (0.97, 1.04), 1.00 (0.96, 1.04) and 1.00 (0.96, 1.04), respectively. The subgroups analyses showed that the BMI was a risk factor of the 28-days mortality in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT when GFR ≥30 mL/min, its HR value was 1.04 (1.01, 1.09). Conclusion: Higher BMI was not a protective risk of 28-day mortality in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT. Especially, when GFR ≥30 mL/min, higher BMI increased the risk of the 28-day mortality rate in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT.

Abstract
Objective To analyse the role of anticoagulation therapy in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following an in-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods This single-centre retrospective cohort study enrolled patients treated with in-hospital CPR that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients were divided into a without anticoagulation group and an anticoagulation group. The main outcome measures were the restoration of spontaneous respiration, restoration of sinus rhythm (ROSR), restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and the hospital mortality. Results The study analysed 344 patients: 272 in the without anticoagulation group and 72 in the anticoagulation group. Multiple logistic regression analyses demonstrated that anticoagulation therapy improved ROSR (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23, 3.96) and ROSC (adjusted OR 1.91, 95% CI 1.08, 3.40), but it did not improve the restoration of spontaneous respiration (adjusted OR 1.64, 95% CI 0.72, 3.76) and hospital survival (adjusted OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.40, 1.99). Conclusion Anticoagulation therapy improved ROSR and ROSC, but did not decrease the mortality rate of hospitalized patients undergoing CPR following in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assess the efficacy of chlorhexidine with povidone solutions as a skin disinfectant for central venous catheter (CVC) care. BACKGROUND Central venous catheters are widely used for critically ill patients. Catheter maintenance can easily lead to a catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), which is the manifestation of a bloodstream infection (BSI) in a patient who carries a catheter or removes the catheter within 48 hours. There is no clear source of BSIs except for indwelling catheters in the blood vessels, and BSIs significantly increase the morbidity and mortality of patients. We assess the efficacy of chlorhexidine with povidone as a skin disinfectant for CVC care. METHODS In July 2018, we searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, OVID, CNKI, SinoMed, WanFangData, CqVip, and DuXiu for publications in English and Chinese. By searching articles published before July 2018, we were able to extract data on study design, participants, antiseptics compared, sample size, and main outcomes. We conducted meta-analyses of the efficacy of chlorhexidine vs povidone solutions as a skin disinfectant for CVC care. RESULTS We included 10 randomized controlled trial studies. After conducting subgroup analysis, the results indicated that chlorhexidine was significantly better than povidone in preventing CRBSIs (P = .12; I2 = 36%; risk ratio [RR] = 0.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.29-0.85). Compared with povidone, the chlorhexidine catheterization rate of CRBSIs was reduced (P = .16; I2 = 32%; RR = 0.54; 95% CI, 0.42-0.69). There was no clear difference in the rates of skin reaction between chlorhexidine and povidone (P = .006; I2 = 87%; RR = 1.92; 95% CI, 0.55-6.72). The comparison was underpowered for BSIs without a clear source. CONCLUSIONS Chlorhexidine solution for CVC care may significantly reduce rates of CRBSIs and catheter colonization compared with povidone solutions. The disinfection effect of chlorhexidine-alcohol is better than that of other solutions. Because the quality of the studies evaluated is relatively low, the true effects may be different, so more evidence is needed.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the association between serum phosphate levels and the risk of
28-day mortality in critically-ill patients with septic acute kidney injury
(AKI) undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Methods This retrospective cohort study analysed data from critically-ill patients
with septic AKI who underwent CRRT between January 2009 and September 2016.
Demographic, clinical and routine biochemical data were retrieved from a
database and analysed to identify risk factors for 28-day mortality. Results A total of 796 patients were included in the analyses. Multivariate
regression analyses showed that phosphate (0 h), phosphate (24 h) and delta
phosphate were associated with the 28-day mortality in patients with septic
AKI undergoing CRRT. The adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) were
1.12 (1.03, 1.22), 1.22 (1.14, 1.30) and 1.12 (1.04, 1.20) for phosphate
(0 h), phosphate (24 h) and delta phosphate, respectively. Curve fitting and
threshold analyses showed that when phosphate (0 h) was between 5.6 mg/dl
and 8.7 mg/dl, phosphate (24 h) was >3.8 mg/dl and delta phosphate was
>–1, the 28-day mortality risk increased significantly. Conclusion In patients with septic AKI undergoing CRRT, serum phosphate level was
associated with the prognosis of patients in terms of 28-day mortality.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces macrophage/monocyte activation and pro-inflammatory cytokines production by activating Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) signaling. Rab GTPase 21 (Rab21) is a member of the Rab GTPase subfamily. In the present study, we show that LPS induced TLR4 and Rab21 association and endosomal translocation in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In BMDMs, shRNA-mediated stable knockdown of Rab21 inhibited LPS-induced expression and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α). Conversely, forced overexpression of Rab21 by an adenovirus construct potentiated LPS-induced IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α production in BMDMs. Further studies show that LPS-induced TLR4 endosomal traffic and downstream c-Jun and NFκB (nuclear factor-kappa B) activation were significantly inhibited by Rab21 shRNA, but intensified with Rab21 overexpression in BMDMs. Finally, in the primary human PBMCs, siRNA-induced knockdown of Rab21 significantly inhibited LPS-induced IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α production. Taken together, we suggest that Rab21 regulates LPS-induced pro-inflammatory responses by promoting TLR4 endosomal traffic and downstream signaling activation.

Abstract
This research aimed to explore the effect of augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) in acute pancreatitis (AP) of mice and the underlying mechanism. Caerulein were given to mice to get AP models. AP mice were given saline, ALR plasmids or negative control plasmids. Then, pancreas tissues were fixed and stained for histological examination. The levels of serum amylase, serum lipase, MPO, HMGB1, TNF-α, IL-1β as well as MCP-1 were detected by ELISA assay. The mRNA levels of TLR4, p65, IκBα, iNOS, COX-2 and GAPDH were examined by RT-qPCR. The protein levels of HMGB1, TLR4, MD2, MyD88, IκBα and GAPDH were detected by western blotting. ALR decreased serum amylase as well as lipase levels and alleviated the histopathological alterations of the pancreas in AP mice. ALR decreased the MPO activity of pancreas in AP Mice. ALR decreased the HMGB1/TLR4 signaling pathway in AP Mice. ALR decreased pancreas IL-1β and MCP-1 in AP mice, and also decreased plasma TNF-α and IL-1β in AP mice. ALR attenuated the cerulein-caused increase in p65 mRNA and protein levels, but had no effects on mRNA and protein levels of IκBα. The AP mice significantly promoted the mRNA levels of iNOS and COX-2 that was inhibited by ALR. HNE formation was also increased in AP mice, but it was decreased by ALR. ALR alleviates acute pancreatitis by inhibiting HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. It is promising to alleviate the syndromes of patients with acute via targeting ALR.

Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive disease characterized by irreversible morphological changes to the pancreas, typically causing pain and permanent loss of function. It is a poorly understood disease with the pathogenesis remaining unclear. The authors' previous data demonstrated that the inhibition of Toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4) using TLR4 antagonist kinase (TAK)‑242 attenuates taurocholate‑induced oxidative stress via the regulation of mitochondrial function in the pancreatic acinar cells of mice. In the present study, the effect of TAK‑242 on trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)‑induced chronic pancreatitis was investigated in rats. The results revealed that TAK‑242 attenuated the severity of chronic pancreatic injury, and regulated extracellular matrix secretion and cellular immunity. In addition, TAK‑242 treatment significantly decreased cell apoptosis, as evidenced by the reduction in Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling‑positive cells in pancreas tissue sections, and also promoted cell proliferation in TNBS‑treated animals. Furthermore, the results of the calibrated von Frey filament assay demonstrated that TAK‑242 could prevent the pancreatitis‑induced referred abdominal hypersensitivity. In summary, TAK‑242 exhibits protective effects against TNBS‑induced chronic pancreatitis and may be a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of patients with chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Pregnancy is a complicated physiological process. Physiological leukocytosis often takes place and it is primarily related to the increased circulation of neutrophils, especially during the last trimester of pregnancy. Noncongenital agranulocytosis during pregnancy is rare and reported only occasionally, while in most of the cases, the agranulocytosis has already occurred prior to pregnancy or induced by identified factors such as antibiotics, antithyroid agents, or cytotoxic agents. Gestation-induced agranulocytosis has not been reported, so we present a case of gestation-induced agranulocytosis in this article. PATIENTS CONCERN In this case, we present a Chinese woman (aged 25) in her 38th week of the first gestation who had the complication of agranulocytosis. No abnormality was detected in regular examinations before pregnancy and in the first trimester. Since the last trimester of pregnancy, the patient began to suffer from agranulocytosis and intermittent fever, the maximum being temperature 38.8°C. At admission, the neutrophil granulocytes were 0.17 × 10 L and the bone marrow biopsy showed that agranulocytosis was detected, but the levels of red blood cell and megalokaryocyte were normal. In addition, antinuclear antibodies were detected at a dilution of 1:40, but anti-dsDNA, antiphospholipid antibody, and neutrophil granulocyte antibody were negative. DIAGNOSES The patient was empirically treated as having pneumonia. INTERVENTIONS We tried to use granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, γ-globulin, glucocorticoids, antibiotics, and antifungi agents to treat the patient, but her symptoms were not alleviated until the patient had a cesarean section. OUTCOMES After 24 hours of cesarean section, the temperature and neutrophil granulocyte returned to normal. After a year of follow-up, we found that the patient and the baby were healthy. LESSONS Agranulocytosis during pregnancy seems to be associated with immunosuppression induced by immunoregulations and termination of pregnancy may be effective for refractory pregnancy complicated with agranulocytosis, but further studies are needed to confirm this.

Abstract
Preoxygenation can rapidly improve oxygenation and enhance the security of endotracheal intubation, so it is very essential before endotracheal intubation. The conventional preoxygenation method self-inflating bag (SIB) is not very effective in case of emergency. So our study aims to find a more effective method of preoxygenation in a critical situation.We retrospectively analyzed data of 105 patients in this study. A total of 49 patients with preoxygenation with invasive ventilator in volume control mode (VCM) and 56 patients with preoxygenation with SIB were included. No significant differences were detected in the baseline data of the 2 groups (P > 0.05). Time of preoxygenation (95%) was 174 (168-180) seconds in group VCM and 205 (199-212) seconds in group SIB (P < 0.05), and multifactor linear regression showed that its main risk factors were the methods of preoxygenation and PO2 before preoxygenation (P < 0.05). Immediate SPO2 after preoxygenation was 91 (89-92)% in group VCM and 85 (83-86)% in group SIB (P < 0.05). Total time of preoxygenation and intubation was 266 (252-280) seconds in group VCM and 318 (298-338) seconds in group SIB (P < 0.05). The 24-hour and overall survival rate in group SIB were lower than in group VCM (P > 0.05). Cox regression showed that SaO2 at 5 minutes after intubation was the major risk factor for the survival rate.Invasive ventilator with volume control mode can shorten the time of preoxygenation and improve the quality of preoxygenation in patients with emergency intubation and may be a better method of preoxygenation in a critical situation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a commonly occurring and potentially life-threatening disease. Recently, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has been considered as a new clue for studying the pathogenesis of AP due to its important role in inflammatory response cascade. MATERIALS AND METHODS The aim of this study was to investigate the potential protective effect of transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase (TAK)-242, a novel TLR4 antagonist, in taurocholate-treated mice pancreatic acinar cells. The protective effects were measured by cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase release and apoptosis, and oxidative stress was assayed by lipid peroxidation and oxidative enzyme activities. To determine the potential underlying mechanisms, mitochondrial cytochrome c release, swelling, and calcium buffering capacity were measured in isolated mitochondria, and mitochondrial biogenesis and expression of mitochondrial dynamic proteins were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. RESULTS Treatment with 6-mM taurocholate significantly increased the expression of TLR4 at both mRNA and protein levels. TAK-242 markedly increased cell viability, decreased lactate dehydrogenase release, and inhibited apoptotic cell death as measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining in pancreatic acinar cells. These protective effects were accompanied by the suppressed lipid peroxidation and enhanced endogenous antioxidative enzyme activity. Using isolated and purified mitochondria from pancreatic acinar cells, we found that TAK-242 treatment also inhibited cytochrome c release into the cytoplasm, mitochondrial swelling, and decrease in mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering capacity after taurocholate exposure. In addition, TAK-242 significantly promoted mitochondrial biogenesis, as evidenced by increased mtDNA and upregulated mitochondrial transcription factors. The results of Western blot analysis showed that TAK-242 also differently regulated the expression of mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins. CONCLUSIONS All these data strongly indicated that blocking TLR4 activity via TAK-242 exerts protective effects in an in vitro AP model, and it could be a possible strategy to improve clinical outcome in AP patients.

Abstract
AIM Aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape obturator and single-incision tension-free transvaginal tape Secur, hammock approach, in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. METHODS Clinical data of patients who received anti-incontinence surgery between June 2008 and July 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Efficacy and early failure rate of the tension-free vaginal tape obturator and tension-free vaginal tape-Secur hammock approach were assessed by cough test and criteria of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were also computed. RESULTS There were 28 patients in the tension-free vaginal tape obturator group while 32 patients in the tension-free vaginal tape-Secur group. The mean operation time, intraoperative blood loss and inpatient days after surgery between the two groups showed no significant difference. The catheter retention time of the tension-free vaginal tape obturator group was longer than in the tension-free vaginal tape-Secur group. The cure rate of the tension-free vaginal tape obturator and tension-free vaginal tape-Secur groups were respectively 84% and 80%, and the recurrence rates were 14.3% and 16.7%, without significant difference. The scores of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form in two groups both decreased after surgery, but there was no difference between the two groups. There were no serious complications in the two groups. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that both tension-free vaginal tape obturator and tension-free vaginal tape-Secur can achieve a cure rate over 80% while with little complications, showing both methods are reliable to treat stress urinary incontinence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) on the function of the vital organs in rats with pancreatitis. METHODS Acute pancreatitis (AP) was induced in 30 male SD rats by ductal injection of 4% sodium taurocholate at 1.0 ml/kg. The rats received subsequent intravenously injection of 0.3 mg/kg of PPARgamma ligand (rosiglitazone, n=10), PPARgamma antagonist (GW9662, n=10) followed 10 min later by rosiglitazone administration at 0.3 mg/kg, or left untreated (AP model group, n=10). Another 10 male SD rats receiving no particular treatment served as the control group. The rats were sacrificed 6 h after the operation, and blood samples were collected for measurement of the biochemical indices of the vital organs. The histological changes of the pancreas and portal vein blood endotoxin content were examined. RESULTS The rats in AP group and GW9662 group showed significantly higher level of the biochemical indices for the vital organs, pathological scores of the pancreas and portal vein blood endotoxin content were significantly higher in the control group and roglitazone-treated groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSION PPARgamma ligand roglitazone can significantly ameliorate multiple organ injuries and effectively protect the functions of the organs in rats with experimental pancreatitis.
