Objective To observe the effects of mechanical stretch on cytokines release from alveolar macrophages( AMs) and the expression of macrophage inflammatory protein-2( MIP-2) induced by lipopolysaccharide( LPS) . Methods AMs were divided into the following groups: ①AMs were subjected to 20% elongation by Flexercell 4000T cell stress system for 24 hours and the supernatant was collected to detect the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IFN-γ, macrophage inflammatory protein-1α( MIP-1α) , MIP-2, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1( MCP-1) , granulocyte /macrophage colony stimulating factors( GM-CSF) , interferon inducible protein-10( IP-10) , regulated on activation in normal T-cell expressed and secreted( Rantes) and keratinocyte chemoattractant( KC) , by using LiquiChip system. ② AMs were subjected to 5% , 10% , 15% and 20% elongation for 24 hours and the supernatant was collected to detect the levels of MIP-2. ③AMs were subjected to 20% elongation and MIP-2 in supernatant was detected 1, 3,6, 12, and 24 hours later. ④ AMs were subjected to 20% elongation and/ or LPS at a concentration of 10 ng/mL, and MIP-2 in supernatant was detected 24 hours later. Unstretched AMs were used as control in all kind of test. Results ①The levels of IL-1β, IL-6,MIP-2, MCP-1, IFN-γand IP-10 secreted by stretched AMs were 8. 7, 4. 3, 38. 6, 4. 8, 14. 2 and 5. 0 times those of the control group( all P lt; 0. 001) . ② The levels of MIP-2 secreted by AMs subjected to 10% , 15% and 20% elongation were ( 480. 5 ±93. 1) pg /mL,( 806. 3 ±225. 9) pg/mL and ( 1335. 7 ±18. 5) pg/mL respectively, all significantly higher than those oft he control group [ ( 34. 6 ±11. 4) pg/mL, all P lt;0. 001] . ③ Three hours after the stimulation of stretch the level of MIP-2 began to increase gradually. And 6, 12, and 24 hours after the stimulation the levels of MIP-2 secreted by the AMs were ( 819. 4 ±147. 5) pg/mL, ( 1287. 6 ±380 ±3 ) pg/mL and ( 1455. 9 ±436. 7) pg/mLrespectively, all significantly higher than those of the control group[ ( 33. 4 ±10. 2) pg/mL, all P lt; 0. 001] . ④When the AMs were stimulated individually by LPS( 10 ng /mL) or mechanical stretch ( 20% ) , the levels of MIP-2 increased to ( 1026. 3 ±339. 5 ) pg/mL and ( 1335. 7 ±318. 5 ) pg/mL respectively( both P lt; 0. 001) . When the AMs were costimulated by LPS and mechanical stretch, the level of MIP-2 increased to ( 2275. 3 ±492. 1) pg/mL, implicating a synergistic effect between mechanical stretch and LPS ( F = 121. 983, P lt; 0. 001) . Conclusions Mechanical stretch activates AMs to produce multiple inflammatory cytokines and induce AMs to secret MIP-2 in a strength- and time-dependent manner.Mechanical stretch also has synergistic effect with LPS in inducing MIP-2 release, which might play an important role in the development of ventilator-induced lung injury.
ObjectiveTo analyze the disease burden and development trend of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in China from 1990 to 2019. MethodsThe changes of incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and their corresponding age-normalization rates for NHL were analyzed by using the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Database. Regression analysis was performed by Joinpoint software to calculate annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) of standardized morbidity, standardized mortality, standardized DALY rate to reflect the change trend of disease burden. And the results were compared with global data. ResultsFrom 1990 to 2019, the disease burden of NHL in China showed an overall increasing trend. Compared with 2019, the standard incidence rate, standard mortality rate and standard DALY rate of NHL in China increased by 144.72%, 27.17% and 15.61%, respectively. The annual rates of change were 3.12%, 0.80% and 0.51%, respectively. There were gender and age differences in disease burden. The burden of disease increased with age, and the burden of disease was higher in males than in females. ConclusionThe disease burden of NHL in China shows an increasing trend from 1990 to 2019. With the development of diagnosis and treatment options, the disease burden has decreased in recent years, but it is still higher than the global level. There is still a need to strengthen research on its pathogenesis and treatment options, and to actively intervene in high-risk groups to reduce the disease burden of NHL.
Traditionally, adequate tidal volume is considered to be a necessary condition to support respiratory patient breathing. But the high frequency ventilation (HFV) with a small tidal volume can still support the respiratory patient breathing well. In order to further explore the mechanisms of HFV, the pendelluft ventilation between left and right lungs was proposed in this paper. And a test platform by using two fresh sheep lungs was developed for investigating the pendelluft ventilation between the left and right lungs. Furthermore, considering the viscous resistance (R), inertance (I) and lung compliance (C) in the lung, a second-order lung ventilation model was designed to inspect and evaluate the pendelluft ventilation between left lung and right lungs. On referring to both results of experiments in practice and simulation in MATLAB Simulink, between the left and right lungs, the phase difference in their airflow happens during HFV at some frequencies. And the pendelluft ventilation between the left and right lungs is resulted by the phase difference, even if the total airflow entering a whole lung is 0. Under HFV, the pendelluft ventilation between left and right lungs will benefit the lungs being more adequately ventilated, and will be improve the utilization rate of oxygen in the lungs.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of different stimulation modalities of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with SSRI in improving depressed mood after stroke using network meta-analysis. MethodsThe PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, CBM and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to the objectives from inception to October 1, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Network meta-analysis was then performed by using R 4.2.1software. ResultsA total of 25 RCTs involving 2 152 patients were included. Four types of rTMS stimulation combined with SSRIs were included: high-frequency stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal (l-DLPFC), low-frequency stimulation of l-DLPFC, low-frequency stimulation of the right dorsolateral prefrontal (r-DLPFC), and low-frequency stimulation of the bilateral DLPFC. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that the effect of combining four stimulation methods with SSRI in treating depression was better than that of SSRI alone (P<0.05). Probability sorting results showed that low-frequency stimulated bilateral DLPFC (88.9%) > low-frequency stimulated l-DLPFC (63.1%) > high-frequency stimulation l-DLPFC (57.1%) > low-frequency stimulation r-DLPFC (40.4%). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the four stimulation methods combined with SSRI and the use of SSRI alone (P>0.05). Conclusion rTMS combined with SSRIs is better than SSRIs alone in improving depressed mood after stroke. Low-frequency rTMS stimulation of bilateral DLPFC may be the best. Meanwhile, the safety of different stimulation methods is good.
