[Investigation on the current situation of the development of intensive care units in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in 2022].

Objective: To investigate the development present situation of the department of critical care medicine in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred to as Inner Mongolia), in order to promote the standardized and homogeneous development of critical care medicine in Inner Mongolia, and also provide a reference for discipline construction and resource allocation.

Methods: A survey study was conducted in comprehensive intensive care unit (ICU) of tertiary and secondary hospitals in Inner Mongolia by online questionnaire survey and telephone data verification. The questionnaire was based on the Guidelines for the Construction and Management of Intensive Care Units (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines) issued by the National Health Commission in 2009 and the development trend of the discipline.

A case of infection-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Background: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are a group of microvascular thrombohemorrhagic syndromes with low incidence and high mortality, which are characterized by thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, fever, neuropsychiatric disorders, and renal involvement. In addition, TTP has a high rate of misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis due to the lack of specific clinical manifestations.

Case Report: A male patient aged 47 years was admitted to our hospital with complaints of dizziness and nausea for 2 days and soy-colored urine for 1 day.

Identification of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks in circulating exosomes as potential biomarkers for systemic sclerosis.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze potential biomarkers for systemic sclerosis (SSc) by constructing lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks in circulating exosomes (cirexos).

Materials And Methods: Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) in SSc cirexos were screened using high-throughput sequencing and detected with real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed using the DisGeNET, GeneCards, GSEA4.

[Value of combined detection of biomarkers in early diagnosis and prognosis of patients with septic myocardial injury].

Objective: To investigate the value of combined detection of biomarkers in early diagnosis and prognosis of patients with septic myocardial injury.

Methods: The clinical data of 103 patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College of Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology from October 2018 to January 2021 were enrolled. According to the cardiac troponin I (cTnI) at admission of ICU, they were divided into septic myocardial injury group (cTnI ≥ 0.

Expression and Identification of a Novel Spore Wall Protein in Microsporidian Nosema bombycis.

Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular parasites causing significant disease in human beings and economically important animals. Though a few spore wall proteins (SWPs) have now been identified in these intriguing species, the information on SWPs remains too little to elucidate the spore wall formation mechanisms of microsporidia. It has been well described that numerous proteins with tandem repeats tend to be localized on the cell wall of fungi and parasites.

Effect of vitrification on development and imprinted gene in mouse embryos.

Vitrification of embryos is a routine procedure in IVF ( fertilization) laboratories. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of vitrification on mouse preimplantation embryo development , and effect on the epigenetic status of imprinted gene in mouse embryos. The blastocyst formation rate for vitrified 8-cell embryos was similar to the non-vitrified 8-cell embryos, whereas the blastocyst hatching rate was lower than that of the non-vitrified group.

[Administration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells attenuates inflammation of rats with sepsis].

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in rats with sepsis. Methods Forty-eight Wistar rats were divided into blank group, sham group, model group and treatment group. Sepsis model was made using cecum ligation and puncture (CLP).

[Evaluation of genetic diversity and population structure of Bletilla striata based on SRAP markers].

Bletilla striata has been used as traditional Chinese medicine for several centuries. In recent years, the quality and quantity of wild B. striata plants have declined sharply due to habitat deterioration and human over-exploitation.

[Adipose-derived stem cells promote the polarization from M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages].

Objective: To investigate the effects of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on M1/M2 macrophages and whether ADSCs are able to promote the polarization from M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages.

Methods: M1 macrophages were induced from J774.1 macrophages by 24-hour stimulation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon γ (IFN-γ), and M2 macrophages were induced from J774.

[The latest research advance in media involved in sepsis].

Sepsis and septic shock are the major causes of death in intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide. A large amount of studies on their pathophysiology have revealed an imbalance in the inflammatory network leading to tissue damage, organ failure, and ultimately, death. Cytokines, proteases, lipid mediators, vasoactive peptides, and cell stress markers play key roles in pathophysiology of sepsis.

[Applylication of new type combined fragments: nrDNA ITS+ nad 1-intron 2 for identification of Dendrobium species of Fengdous].

In this study, 17 kinds of Dendrobium species of Fengdous including 39 individuals were collected from 4 provinces. Mitochondrial gene sequences co I, nad 5, nad 1-intron 2 and chloroplast gene sequences rbcL, matK amd psbA-trnH were amplified from these materials, as well as nrDNA ITS. Furthermore, suitable sequences for identification of Dendrobium species of Fengdous were screened by K-2-P and P-distance.

Different evolutionary processes in shaping the genetic composition of Dendrobium nobile in southwest China.
