THE EFFECT OF PERCUTANEOUS CATHETER DRAINAGE COMBINED WITH SOMATOSTATIN ON INFLAMMATION AND PLASMA THROMBOXANE 2, PROSTACYCLIN I2 LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE PANCREATITIS.

Objective: Explore the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) combined with somatostatin in the treatment of severe pancreatitis (SAP) patients.

Methods: A retrospective study method was adopted to select 95 patients with SAP who were treated in our hospital from January 2018 to June 2022 for clinical research. Among them, 48 patients received routine treatment+somatostatin (control group), and other 47 patients received ultrasound guided PCD treatment on the basis of the control group (research group).

Genome-wide association study reveals genetic variations associated with ocean acidification resilience in Yesso scallop Patinopecten yessoensis.

Ocean acidification (OA), which refers to a gradual decrease in seawater pH due to the absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide, profoundly affects the growth, development and survival of bivalves. Relatively limited studies have assessed the resilience of bivalve to OA. In the present study, Patinopecten yessoensis, an economically and ecologically significant species, were exposed to low pH (pH = 7.

Structure and functional analysis reveal an important regulated role of arginine kinase in Patinopecten yessoensis under low pH stress.

Arginine kinase (AK), an important member of the phosphokinase family, is involved in temporal and spatial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) buffering systems. AK plays an important role in physiological function and metabolic regulations, in particular tissues with high and fluctuating energy demands. In present study, four AK genes were firstly identified from Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) genome, respectively named PyAK1-4.

Impact of Ocean Acidification on the Energy Metabolism and Antioxidant Responses of the Yesso Scallop ().

Ocean acidification (OA), which is caused by increasing levels of dissolved CO in the ocean, is a major threat to marine ecosystems. Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that marine bivalves, including scallops, are vulnerable to OA due to their poor capacities to regulate extracellular ions and acid-based status. However, the physiological mechanisms of scallops responding to OA are not well understood.
