Objectives To observe the expression of CCL1/CCR8 mRNA in murine lung tissue of bronchial asthma and effects of glucocorticoids on their expression. Methods Thirthy healthy mice were randomly divided into a control group, an asthma group, and a dexamethasone group, with 10 mice in each group. The sensitized murine asthma model was induced by ovalbumin sensitization and challenge, and the dexamethasone group were peritoneally injected with dexamethasone( 2 mg/ kg) . Total and differential cell counts in BALF were measured. IL-4 Level in BALF was evaluated by ELISA. The expression of CCL1 and CCR8 mRNA in the lungs were measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results The percentage of eosinophils, lymphocyte and IL-4 level in the asthma group increased significantly compared with the controlgroup, and which in the dexamethasone group decreased significantly compared with the asthma group and still higher than the control group( all P lt; 0. 01) . The expression of CCL1 and CCR8 mRNA had the same tendency ( all P lt;0. 01) . Conclusions The gene expression of CCL1/CCR8 is up-regulated in allergic asthma mice.Glucocorticoids can relieve airway inflammation of asthma probably by inhibiting CCL1/CCR8 expression.

ObjectiveBased on the current version of Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA), we aimed to analyze the comorbidities and preoperative physical status of colorectal cancer patients.MethodsThe DACCA version selected for this data analysis was updated on May 9, 2019. The data items included: surgical comorbidities and classified by systems, surgical history, pelvic disease history, medical comorbidities, and some important subdivision types, infectious disease status, allergic history, nutrition risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) score, amount of weight loss after illness, anemia, low protein status, preoperative ascites status, preoperative pleural effusion status, immune system disease and immunocompromised status, and preoperative nutritional support. Characteristic analysis was performed on each selected data item.ResultsA total of 6 166 admitted data were filtered from the DACCA database. Among them, surgical comorbidities, surgical history, medical comorbidities, and allergy history had 6 166 admitted data, and weight loss had admitted 4 703. There were 2 923 (47.4%) with surgical comorbidities. According to the system, the most common one was digestive system (2 005, 68.6%), and the least one was skin tissue system (24, 0.8%). There were 4 361 (70.7%) patients without surgical history and 1 805 (29.3%) patients had surgical history. There were 2 397 (38.9%) patients without medical comorbidities and 3 769 (61.1%) had medical comorbidities, of which pneumonia/pulmonary infection/chronic bronchopneumonia/lung indeterminate nodules were the most common(2 330, 37.8%), the least was cerebral infarction (unspecified type, 63, 1.0%). There were 5 813 (94.3%) without allergy history and 353 (5.7%) had allergy history. According to the NRS2002 nutrition screening criteria, the scores ranged from 1 to 7 points, with an average of 1.22 points, which could be classified as non-nutrition risk (5 279, 85.6%, included 1 point of 4 310, 2 points of 969), nutritional risk (887, 14.4%, included 3 points of 415, 4 points of 358, 5 points of 100, 6 points of 12, and 7 points of 2), the result of linear regression analysis of NRS2002 scores with the trend of the year showed that: ŷ=0.000 2x–6.275 8, R2=0.716 2, P<0.001. A total of 2 840 (60.4%) had no weight loss while 1 863 (39.6%) had, and weight loss with the trend of year were analyzed by linear regression analysis: ŷ=0.000 2x–3.956, R2=0.685 7, P<0.001. The number of cases of other physical status and the proportion of valid data were anemia (1 194, 33.1%), preoperative ascites (1829, 51.7%), preoperative pleural effusion (171, 5.7%), hypoproteinemia (1 206, 33.6%), immune system disease and immunocompromised status (495, 56.6%), and nutritional support (824, 25.0%).ConclusionsThrough the analysis of the DACCA database, nearly 1/2 of colorectal cancer surgery patients have surgical comorbidities before surgery, more than 1/2 of the patients have medical comorbidities, and the types of diseases are various. Preoperative nutritional status in patients with colorectal cancer also shows certain characteristics, suggesting the state of preoperative risk. These data will provide a detailed big data basis for future preoperative risk assessment of colorectal cancer.

ObjectiveTo analyze the risks and complications after operation of colorectal cancer in the current version of Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA).MethodsThe DACCA version selected for this data analysis was the updated version on July 28th, 2020. The data items included surgery reaction, body temperature, flatus, pain and mental status; preoperative complication, postoperative complication, short-term and long-term complication. The selected data items were statistically analyzed.ResultsThe total number of medical records (data rows) that met the criteria was 6 422, including 4 185 (65.2%) valid data on surgery reaction, 3 833 (59.7%) valid data on body temperature, 3 835 (59.7%) valid data on flatus, 3 597 (56.0%) valid data on pain, 3 551 (55.3%) valid data on mental status, 6 422 (100%) valid data on preoperative complications, postoperative complications, short-term complications and long-term complications. In the surgical response, 1 517 (36.2%) lines of data showed “normal” structure were the most. Among the days with elevated body temperature, the number of 0-day data lines with the structure of “body temperature >37.5 ℃” was the highest, with 1 980 (51.7%). In postoperative flatus, there were 1 675 (43.7%) data lines with the structure showing “3 days”. The largest number of rows (2 755, 76.6%) showed a structure that was “not obvious” in the pain scale. The mental status showed the highest number of “better” rows (2 976, 83.8%). There were 50 preoperative complications (0.8%). And 595 postoperative complications (9.3%), including anastomotic leakage (80, 13.4%), inflammatory ileus (62, 10.4%), pulmonary infection (57, 9.6%), and anastomotic bleeding (56, 9.4%), etc. There were 6 169 (96.1%) without short-term complication in structural form. There were 6 283 (97.8%) without long-term complications.ConclusionsThe changes in complications shown in the real world data from DACCA suggest that the focus of postoperative risks must be changed with the over the follow-up time. As for the complication evaluation system, it is necessary to establish a complete evaluation system combining the corresponding types and risks, to carry out valuable complication researches.
