[EX Q]: Context: Preoperative anemia may affect postoperative mortality and morbidity following elective cranial operations.', 'The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was used to identify elective cranial neurosurgical cases (2006-2012). Morbidity was defined as wound infection, systemic infection, cardiac, respiratory, renal, neurologic, and thromboembolic events, and unplanned returns to the operating room. For 30-day postoperative mortality and morbidity, adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were estimated with multivariable logistic regression.', 'Of 8015 patients who underwent elective cranial neurosurgery, 1710 patients (21.4%) were anemic. Anemic patients had an increased 30-day mortality of 4.1% versus 1.3% in non-anemic patients (P < 0.001) and an increased 30-day morbidity rate of 25.9% versus 14.14% in non-anemic patients (P < 0.001). The 30-day morbidity rates for all patients undergoing cranial procedures were stratified by diagnosis: 26.5% aneurysm, 24.7% sellar tumor, 19.7% extra-axial tumor, 14.8% intra-axial tumor, 14.4% arteriovenous malformation, and 5.6% pain. Following multivariable regression, the 30-day mortality in anemic patients was threefold higher than in non-anemic patients (4.1% vs 1.3%; OR = 2.77; 95% CI: 1.65-4.66). The odds of postoperative morbidity in anemic patients were significantly higher than in non-anemic patients (OR = 1.29; 95% CI: 1.03-1.61). There was a significant difference in postoperative morbidity event odds with a hematocrit level above (OR = 1.07; 95% CI: 0.78-1.48) and below (OR = 2.30; 95% CI: 1.55-3.42) 33% [hemoglobin (Hgb) 11 g/dl].
Answer: Preoperative anemia in elective cranial neurosurgery was independently associated with an increased risk of 30-day postoperative mortality and morbidity when compared to non-anemic patients. A hematocrit level below 33% (Hgb 11 g/dl) was associated with a significant increase in postoperative morbidity.

[EX Q]: Context: To simultaneously study the effect of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor and that of a classic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) on the expression of pro-inflammatory genes in the cartilage of patients with severe knee osteoarthritis (OA) and in cultured human OA chondrocytes.', 'A 3-month clinical trial was carried out on 30 patients with severe knee OA scheduled for knee replacement surgery. Patients were randomized into two groups: patients treated with celecoxib (CBX) and patients treated with aceclofenac (ACF). OA patients who did not want to be treated served as the control group. After surgery, cartilage was processed for molecular biology studies. We also employed cultured chondrocytes from different OA patients to examine NSAID effects on pro-inflammatory gene expression in cells stimulated with interleukin (IL)-1beta.', 'Both CBX and ACF inhibited COX-2, microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) synthesis in the articular cartilage of OA patients. In cultured chondrocytes, both NSAID decreased COX-2 and mPGES-1 synthesis and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release induced by IL-1beta, while no effect was observed on nitric oxide or iNOS synthesis. In OA patients, only CBX decreased tumor necrosis factor alpha and IL-1beta expression in the cartilage, while both NSAID diminished IL-1beta induced cytokine synthesis in cultured OA chondrocytes.
Answer: Both NSAID diminished PGE2 release and induced a decrease in COX-2 and mPGES-1 synthesis in the cartilage from OA patients and in OA chondrocytes. These data suggest that prolonged therapy with PGE2 blocking agents decreases PGE2 production not only by direct inhibition of COX-2 activity, but also by down-regulating COX-2 and mPGES-1 synthesis in the cartilage. However, CBX and ACF seem to have a different anti-inflammatory profile in controlling pro-inflammatory gene expression in the cartilage.
[EX A]: Does long-term NSAID treatment directly decrease COX-2 and mPGES-1 production in the articular cartilage of patients with osteoarthritis?

[EX Q]: Context: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious complication that commonly confronted by diabetic patients. A common theory for the pathogenesis of this renal dysfunction in diabetes is cell injury, inflammation as well as oxidative stress. In this content, the detailed molecular mechanism underlying high glucose induced renal tubular epithelial injury was elaborated.', "An in vivo rat model of diabetes by injecting streptozotocin (STZ) and an in vitro high glucose incubated renal tubular epithelial cell (HK-2) model were used. Expression levels of Keap1, nuclear Nrf2 and p65 were determined by western blotting. Level of microR-29 (miR-29) was assessed using quantitative RT-PCR. Combination of p65 and miR-29 promotor was assessed using chromatin immunoprecipitation. Keap1 3'-UTR activity was detected using luciferase reporter gene assay. Cell viability was determined using MTT assay.", 'In diabetic rat, miR-29 was downregulated and its expression is negatively correlated with both of serum creatinine and creatinine clearance. In high glucose incubated HK-2 cell, deacetylases activity of Sirt1 was attenuated that leads to decreased activity of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). NF-κB was demonstrated to regulate miR-29 expression by directly binding to its promotor. The data of luciferase assay showed that miR-29 directly targets to Keap1 mRNA. While high glucose induced down regulation of miR-29 contributed to enhancement of Keap1 expression that finally reduced Nrf2 content by ubiquitinating Nrf2. Additionally, overexpression of miR-29 effectively relieved high glucose-reduced cell viability.
Answer: High glucose induces renal tubular epithelial injury via Sirt1/NF-κB/microR-29/Keap1 signal pathway.
