Objective To investigate the effect of wire?reinforced epidural catheters on the success rate of epidural catheterization for labor analgesia. Methods A total of 200 nulliparous parturients who re?ceived labor analgesia voluntarily, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, aged 20-45 yr, with body mass index<35 kg∕m2, were divided into 2 groups (n=100 each) using a random number table: common catheter group ( group Ⅰ) and reinforced catheter group ( group Ⅱ) . After suc?cessful epidural puncture, the corresponding catheter was inserted inⅠandⅡgroups. The development of difficult insertion, intravascular catheter insertion or paresthesia during insertion was defined as a failure of epidural catheterization. The occurrence of the failure of epidural catheterization was recorded. Results Compared with group Ⅰ, the failure rate of epidural catheterization was significantly decreased in groupⅡ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Wire?reinforced epidural catheters can raise the success rate of epidural catheter?ization for labor analgesia.

Objective To explore the possible effect and mechanism of quercetin (QU) in inhibiting scar formation after the alkali burn of rat's cornea. Methods We established corneal alkali-burn model on right eyes of the SD rats. The rats were divided into five groups randomly. The control group received blank ophthalmic gel; the QU treatment groups received 2.5, 5, 10, or 20g/kg quercetin ophthalmic gel, respectively. The rats were checked by slit-lamp microscope every day for the degree of corneal opacity, then were killed on day 4, 7, 14, 21 and 28 after operation. The infiltration of the inflammatory cells was observed by histology, the arrangement and proliferation of the collagen fibers in the corneal stroma were observed by Masson trichrome staining. The expression of transforming growth factor-β_1 (TGF-β_1) and receptor of transforming growth factor-βⅠ(TGF-βRⅠ) in cornea was observed by immunohistochemical method. Results The corneal opacity was less severe in the QU treatment groups than in the control group (P<0.05). Corneal scar was inhibited better in 10g/kg QU and 20g/kg QU groups than in 2.5g/kg and 5g/kg QU groups, and 10g/kg and 20g/kg QU groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). HE and Masson staining showed that the density of corneal stroma collagen fibers in the QU treatment groups was lower than that in the control group. The expression of TGF-β_1 and TGF-βRⅠ reached the peak on day 7 after alkali burn, and then decreased slowly, which was close to the normal level. The expression of TGF-β_1 and TGF-βRⅠ was inhibited better in 10g/kg and 20g/kg QU groups than in 2.5g/kg and 5g/kg groups, and 10g/kg and 20g/kg QU groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusion QU ophthalmic gel can reduce formation of corneal scar to a certain extent, 10g/kg is the optimal concentration. QU may play its role by inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1 and TGF-βRⅠ.

Objective To optimize the method of combining azomethane oxide(AOM)and dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)to create a colitis-associated colon cancer(CAC)model,and to explore the pathogenesis of the intestinal flora in CAC.Methods Model groups A and B were established by one and two injections of AOM,respectively,combined with free drinking of DSS,and a normal control group was injected intraperitoneally with normal saline combined with purified water(n=10 mice per group).The better modeling scheme was selected by comprehensive evaluation of the disease activity index score,colon length,tumor rate,and mortality.Serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and tumor markers CA199,CEA,and CA724 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Colon lesions were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.Changes in the intestinal microbiota in CAC mice were detected by 16S rDNA high-throughput gene sequencing analysis of mouse feces.Results Both single and enhanced AOM injections combined with DSS induced CAC mice;however,colon growths were larger,more closely arranged,and their morphological size was more consistent in group B compared with group A,with a tumor-formation rate of 100％.IL-6 levels were increased in the model group compared with the normal group(P＜0.05).TNF-α levels were increased in the model group compared with the normal group(P＞0.05).The CA199 and CEA levels were also significantly increased(P＜0.05),but CA724 levels were not.Infiltration of inflammatory cells in the colon detected by HE pathology was accompanied by high-grade intraepithelial tumor-like changes on the surface of the lumen.The diversity and abundance of intestinal bacteria were decreased in CAC mice compared with normal mice:phyla Verrucomicrobiota and Actinobacteriota were significantly increased(P＜0.05),Bacteroidota and Campilobacterota were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Akkermansia,Prevotellaceae,Ruminococcus,and Bifidobacterium were significantly increased(P＜0.05),and Roseburia,Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group,Anaeroplasma,and Muribaculaceae were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusions Two injections of AOM combined with 1.5％(1.5 g/100 mL)DSS induced CAC model mice with a high colon-tumorigenesis rate,uniform tumor morphology,and low mortality,and may thus be the preferred modeling scheme for pharmacodynamic experiments.Disorders or dysfunction of the intestinal flora may lead to increased permeability,loss of intestinal mucosal barrier function,and the release of enterogenic endotoxins,Resultsing in a sustained inflammatory response,as an indirect or direct cause of CAC pathogenesis.

Under the background of efficiency medical reform, the authors introduced the nursing efficiency management system of a large public hospital, which was divided into two dimensions: nursing resource allocation efficiency and nursing service efficiency. The specific four measures included the establishment of multi-campus unified management organization structure based on nursing management committee, nursing performance reform based on structured big data information platform, the construction of nurse-led patient whole process management model and the accelerated rehabilitation nursing practice from surgery to the whole hospital, so as to provide reference for the nursing efficiency management of large general public hospitals under the medical reform.

BACKGROUND:The anterior cruciate ligament has unique nonlinear mechanical properties under a complex physiological loading environment.Elastin is an important contributor to the mechanical properties of the anterior cruciate ligament,but its mechanical response to the anterior cruciate ligament under axial tension is not clear. OBJECTIVE:To quantitatively analyze the effect of elastin on the tensile mechanical response of the anterior cruciate ligament. METHODS:Elastase solution and control buffer were prepared.The porcine anterior cruciate ligament samples were prepared into small-size samples and randomly soaked in 0,0.1,1.0,2.0,5.0,and 10.0 U/mL elastase solution for 6 hours,and other small samples of the same size were soaked in 2 U/mL elastase solution for 0,1,3,6,9,and 12 hours.To determine suitable soaking conditions for elastin-targeted enzymes and verify the digestive effect,histological staining was used to compare the effects of enzyme treatment on tissue structure and composition.The ligament samples were randomly divided into elastase-treated group and PBS group,and immersed in 2 U/mL elastase solution and PBS buffer for 6 hours,respectively.A mechanical tensile test was performed before and after immersion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The biochemical results showed that being treated in 2 U/mL elastase solution for 6 hours could reduce the elastin content by 31.1%,and had no significant effect on other mechanical-related components in the tissue.(2)The histological results showed that elastase was able to penetrate the tissue,and the loose degree of tissue increased after treatment.(3)In the mechanical results before and after treatment,the mechanical properties of the PBS group decreased significantly,only the low-tension elastic modulus increased significantly and the initial length increased significantly in the elastase-treated group.(4)The intergroup comparison results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in pre-treatment,but the low-tension elastic modulus,initial slopes,saturated slopes,and initial length of the elastase-treated group after treatment were significantly higher than those in the PBS group.(5)These results suggest that elastin degradation significantly affects the biomechanical properties of the anterior cruciate ligament and further complements our understanding of the structure-function relationship of the anterior cruciate ligament.

BACKGROUND: Post-operative pneumonia (POP) is a common complication of lung cancer surgery, and muscular tissue oxygenation is a root cause of post-operative complications. However, the association between muscular tissue desaturation and POP in patients receiving lung cancer surgery has not been specifically studied. This study aimed to investigate the potential use of intra-operative muscular tissue desaturation as a predictor of POP in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. METHODS: This cohort study enrolled patients (≥55 years) who had undergone lobectomy with one-lung ventilation. Muscular tissue oxygen saturation (SmtO 2 ) was monitored in the forearm (over the brachioradialis muscle) and upper thigh (over the quadriceps) using a tissue oximeter. The minimum SmtO 2 was the lowest intra-operative measurement at any time point. Muscular tissue desaturation was defined as a minimum baseline SmtO 2 of <80% for >15 s. The area under or above the threshold was the product of the magnitude and time of desaturation. The primary outcome was the association between intra-operative muscular tissue desaturation and POP within seven post-operative days using multivariable logistic regression. The secondary outcome was the correlation between SmtO 2 in the forearm and that in the thigh. RESULTS: We enrolled 174 patients. The overall incidence of muscular desaturation (defined as SmtO 2 < 80% in the forearm at baseline) was approximately 47.1% (82/174). The patients with muscular desaturation had a higher incidence of pneumonia than those without desaturation (28.0% [23/82] vs. 12.0% [11/92]; P  = 0.008). The multivariable analysis revealed that muscular desaturation was associated with an increased risk of pneumonia (odds ratio: 2.995, 95% confidence interval: 1.080-8.310, P  = 0.035) after adjusting for age, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia score, smoking, use of peripheral nerve block, propofol, and study center. CONCLUSION: Muscular tissue desaturation, defined as a baseline SmtO 2 < 80% in the forearm, may be associated with an increased risk of POP. TRIAL REGISTRATION No. ChiCTR-ROC-17012627.
