[Serial changes in biomarkers in pulmonary and extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome].
Objective: To compare the serial changes of circulating angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), surfactant protein D (SP-D) and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end product (sRAGE) in patients with pulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and extrapulmonary ARDS. Methods: A total of 36 eligible patients with ARDS were included from the Department of Respiratory Intensive Care Unit(RCU) and Department of Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the Central Hospital of Wuhan, during April 2017 to February 2018, and divided into pulmonary ARDS group (n=20) and extrapulmonary ARDS group (n=16) according to primary causes. The levels of Ang-2, SP-D and sRAGE in serum of each group were measured on Day 1, 4 and 7 after diagnosis. ⋯ The serum level of sRAGE in each group declined gradually during the course. The serum level of sRAGE on Day 1 in each group was significantly higher than that on Day 7 [pulmonary ARDS group: 328(107, 595) vs 66 (50,171) ng/L, extrapulmonary ARDS group: 237 (98, 410) vs 81 (38, 154) ng/L, all P<0.05]. Conclusion: The serum level of Ang-2 in extrapulmonary ARDS declines significantly in the early stage of disease, while there is no significant difference in that of pulmonary ARDS.

[A functional magnetic resonance imaging study of exercise addiction].
Objective: To investigate the brain activities of exercise addiction (EA) group people with the task-functional magnetic resonance image (task-fMRI). Methods: A total of 29 exercise addicts (addiction group, average age 46±4 years) and 26 non-exercise addicts (control group, average age 46±6 years) matched by sex, age, average education level and sports dependence degree were selected by using exercise addiction index (EAI) through questionnaires to members of Jiangsu Local Fitness and Long-distance Running Association between January 2018 and June 2018. The participants were scanned with fMRI while watching sports pictures or non-sports pictures. ⋯ Results: Compared with the control group, while watching sports pictures, the right fusiform gyrus (MNI:x=30, y=-87, z=0), left posterior central gyrus (MNI:x=-51, y=-21, z=54), left medial superior frontal gyrus (MNI:x=-9, y=54, z=30), and right middle occipital gyrus (MNI:x=42, y=-72, z=36) were significantly inhibited in the addiction group (t-test, all P<0.05). When watching non-sports pictures, the addictive group showed the left superior frontal gyrus (MNI:x=-12, y=54, z=30), left middle frontal gyrus (MNI:x=-30, y=18, z=45), right inferior frontal gyrus (MNI:x=42, y=33, z=-12), right occipital gyrus (MNI:x=42, y=-72, z=36), and they were more significantly inhibited than the control group (t-test, all P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared to the control group, the EA group shows significant brain inhibition with visual stimulation, particularly with non-sports pictures.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Effect of intravenous granisetron combined and acupuncture point injection at PC6(Neiguan) with 0.9% sodium chlorideon postoperative nausea and vomiting after gynecological laparoscopy].
Objective: To observe the effects of intravenous granisetron and acupuncture point injection at PC6(Neiguan) with 0.9% sodium chloride on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods: Qualified cases were collected according to prospective randomized controlled clinical trial design. 94 cases patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery without postoperative intravenous analgesia were selected from February 2017 to November 2018 in Beijing Aerospace General Hospital and The Affiliated Hangzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. The patients were randomly divided into three groups: bilateral PC6 sham injection of 0.9% sodium chloride+ intravenous granisetron(group A, n=31); bilateral acupuncture point injection at PC6 of 0.9% sodium chloride+ intravenous 0.9% sodium chloride(group B, n=33); bilateral acupuncture point injection at PC6 of 0.9% sodium chloride+ intravenous granisetron(group C, n=30). ⋯ The time for the first anal exsufflation in group C was earlier than group A and B. Conclusion: Either intravenous granisetron or acupuncture point injection at PC6 of 0.9% sodium chloride can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Intravenous granisetron combined with acupuncture point injection at PC6 of 0.9% sodium chloride has better effect and promotes the first anal exsufflation time, which is conducive to the rapid postoperative recovery of patients.
