The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation published the 2022 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science with Treatment Recommendations in Circulation, Resuscitation, and Pediatrics in November 2022. This consensus updates and recommends important aspects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation based on recently published resuscitation evidence. Herein, we interpret the consensus focusing on adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation including basic life support (ventilation techniques, compressions pause, transport strategies during resuscitation, and resuscitation procedures in drowning), advanced life support (target temperature management, point-of-care ultrasound as a diagnostic tool during cardiac arrest, vasopressin and corticosteroids for cardiac arrest, and post-cardiac arrest coronary angiography), cardiopulmonary resuscitation education/implementation/team (survival prediction after resuscitation of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest, basic life support training, advanced life support training, blended learning for life support education, and faculty development approaches for life support courses) and recovery positions on rescue scene. This consensus provides important guidance for clinical practice and clear hints for the development of clinical research.
Obiective lt;brgt;To investigate the change of the activity of proliferation in cultivated Muuml;ller cells treated by advanced glycation endoproducts (AGEs), and the effect of these changes on expression of occludin in bovine retinal vascular endothelial cells (BREC). lt;brgt;Methods lt;brgt;The cultivated Muuml;ller cells were devided into normal growth group and cultured with AGEs group. The cultured BREC were devided into 4 groups:group 1, without any medium; group 2, with normal growth Muuml;ller cell medium (MCM); group 3,MCM treated by AGEs; group 4, without cell as the control. Enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay was used to detect the content of occludin in the medium in the 4 groups. lt;brgt;Results lt;brgt;The content of expression of occludin was the most in group 2, less in group 1, and the least in group 3. lt;brgt;Conclusion lt;brgt;AGEs may promote the abnormal proliferation of Muuml;ller cells and inhibit the expression of occludin in BREC. lt;brgt;(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2006, 22: 28-30)
In November 2019, the American Heart Association updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care. This update is not a comprehensive revision of the 2015 version. The updates for children and newborns mainly include three aspects: ① Pediatric basic life support: A. It is recommended that emergency medical dispatch centers offer dispatcher-assisted CPR instructions for presumed pediatric cardiac arrest. B. It is recommended that emergency dispatchers provide CPR instructions for pediatric cardiac arrest when no bystander CPR is in progress. ② Pediatric advanced life support: A. The bag-mask ventilation is reasonable compared with advanced airway interventions (endotracheal intubation or supraglottic airway) in the management of children during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). B. The extracorporeal CPR may be considered for pediatric patients with cardiac diagnoses who have in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in settings with existing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation protocols, expertise, and equipment. C. Continuous measurement of core temperature during targeted temperature management is recommended; for infants or children between 24 hours and 18 years of age who remain comatose after OHCA or IHCA, targeted temperature management is recommened. ③ Neonatal resuscitation: A. In term and late-preterm newborns (≥35 weeks of gestation) receiving respiratory support at birth, the initial use of 21% oxygen is reasonable. B. One hundred percent oxygen should not be used to initiate resuscitation because it is associated with excess mortality. C. In preterm newborns (<35 weeks of gestation) receiving respiratory support at birth, it may be reasonable to begin with 21% to 30% oxygen.
Objective To determine the association of -429T/C and G1704T polymorphisms in the receptor for advanced glycation end products gene with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods Case-control study. From the Beijing Desheng Diabetic Eye Study cohort of 1467 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),atotal of 97 patients with PDR and 105 diabetic patients without retinopathy (DWR, duration of diabetes 15 years) were included for this study. Questionnaires were collected and general ophthalmologic examinations were performed. Biochemical analysis was conducted. DNA was extracted from peripheral venous blood. The -429T/C and G1704T single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected by the means of PCR-restrication fragment length polymorphisms. Results The frequency distribution of -429T/C in DWR group was 81.0% in TT, 16.1% in TC, 2.9% in CC. The frequency distribution of -429T/C in PDR group was 77.3% in TT, 20.6% in TC, 2.1% in CC. There was no significant statistical difference between the two groups (χ2=0.40, P > 0.05). Frequency of the -429T/C minor alleleCin the DWR and PDR group were 11.0% and 12.4%, respectively, with no significant statistical difference between the two groups (χ2=0.20，P > 0.05). The frequency distribution of G1704T in DWR group was 66.7% in GG, 29.5% in GT, 3.8% in TT. The frequency distribution of G1704T in PDR group was 78.4% in GG, 21.6% in GT. There was no significant statistical difference between the two groups (χ2=3.44, P > 0.05). Frequency of the G1704T minor alleleTin the DWR and PDR group were 18.6% and 10.8%, respectively, in which significant difference was found within the two groups (χ2=4.79, OR=1.88，95%CI: 1.06 - 3.33, P > 0.05). Conclusions G1704T polymorphism is associated with PDR presence and 1704G allele may increase the risk of PDR.
Objective To investigate the effects of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) on proliferation of pericytes of bovine retinal capillary vessels and expression of transforming growth factor beta;(TGF-beta;). Methods The proliferation of pericytes detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric assay, cellular cycle of pericytes was analyzed by flow cytometry was used to analyze cell, and TGF-beta; protein expression of pericytes was observed by immunofluorescent staining. Results AGEs inhibited the proliferation of pericytes of bovine retinal capillary vessels, stopped the cellular cycle of pericytes in synthesis phase (S phase), increased the number of apoptotic cells obviously (Plt;0.01), and promoted the expression of TGF-beta; proteinof perycytes. Conclusions AGEs may promote the apoptosis of pericytes by inhibiting the proliferation of pericytes to lead the decrease of pericytes number, and may accelerate diabetic retinopathy by promoting the expression of TGF-beta; protein of pericytes.

In November 2018, the American Heart Association (AHA) updated Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Rather than a comprehensive revision of the 2015 edition guidelines, the 2018 AHA guidelines update was updated again according to the rule " the update of the guideline is whenever new evidence is available”, providing the evidence review and treatment recommendation for antiarrhythmic drug therapy in pediatric shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia cardiac arrest. The Pediatric Task Force of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation updated the guideline, reaffirming the 2015 pediatric advanced life support guideline recommendation that either lidocaine or amiodarone may be used to treat pediatric patients with shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
