Objective:To investigate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block combined with laryngeal mask general anesthesia and internal fixation of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) under ERAS concept in elderly patients.Methods:A total of 50 elderly patients with femoral trochanteric fractures treated with PFNA internal fixation who were admitted to Changsha Central Hospital from January 2021 to March 2022 were selected and according to the random number table method, they were divided into groups P and F, with 26 cases in group P (ultrasound-guided PENG block combined with laryngeal mask general anesthesia group) and 24 cases in group F [ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB)] combined with laryngeal mask general anesthesia group]. The bispectral index (BIS) of the two groups of patients was maintained within the range of 40-60, and the dosage of cyclopofol and remifentanil was adjusted according to the BIS and hemodynamic changes. Postoperative oxycodone was used for patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA). When the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score ≥4, 1 mg intravenous oxycodone was administered as rescue analgesia. The VAS score was observed and recorded before nerve block (T 0), 10 minutes after nerve block (T 1), 20 minutes after nerve block (T 2), when the patients were placed in body position after bed (T 3), after laryngeal mask removal (T 4), 12 h after operation (T 5), 24 h after operation (T 6) and 48 h after operation (T 7). The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2) at each time point from T 0 to T 4 were observed and recorded; the intraoperative dose of remifentanil, the rescue dose of oxycodone at postoperative T 6 and T 7, Lovett muscle strength score, anesthesia operation time, anesthesia recovery time and postoperative anesthesia-related complications were recorded. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in VAS scores at T 0, T 4, T 5 and T 6, MAP, HR and SpO 2 at T 0, T 1, T 2 and T 4, the dosage of remifentanil during operation, the remedial dosage of oxycodone at T 6 after operation, anesthesia operation time and anesthesia recovery time (all P>0.05). Compared with group F, the VAS scores of group P at T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 7 were lower than those of group F (all P<0.05); At T 3, there was no significant difference in SpO 2 between the two groups ( P>0.05), but the MAP and HR in group P was lower than that in group F (all P<0.05); The remedial dose of oxycodone at T 7 in group P was lower than that in group F ( P<0.05), and the analgesic effect was longer; Lovett muscle strength score at T 6 and T 7 in group P was better than that in group F (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with FICB, ultrasound-guided PENG block used in PFNA internal fixation in elderly patients has faster effect, lower dosage of opioid analgesics, longer duration of analgesia, and less impact on postoperative lower limb muscle strength.

Cordycepin exerts neuroprotective effects against excitotoxic neuronal death. However, its direct electrophysiological evidence in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the electrophysiological mechanisms underlying the protective effect of cordycepin against the excitotoxic neuronal insult in AD using whole-cell patch clamp techniques. β-Amyloid (Aβ) and ibotenic acid (IBO)-induced injury model in cultured hippocampal neurons was used for the purpose. The results revealed that cordycepin significantly delayed Aβ + IBO-induced excessive neuronal membrane depolarization. It increased the onset time/latency, extended the duration, and reduced the slope in both slow and rapid depolarization. Additionally, cordycepin reversed the neuronal hyperactivity in Aβ + IBO-induced evoked action potential (AP) firing, including increase in repetitive firing frequency, shortening of evoked AP latency, decrease in the amplitude of fast afterhyperpolarization, and increase in membrane depolarization. Further, the suppressive effect of cordycepin against Aβ + IBO-induced excessive neuronal membrane depolarization and neuronal hyperactivity was blocked by DPCPX (8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, an adenosine A₁ receptor-specific blocker). Collectively, these results revealed the suppressive effect of cordycepin against the Aβ + IBO-induced excitotoxic neuronal insult by attenuating excessive neuronal activity and membrane depolarization, and the mechanism through the activation of A₁R is strongly recommended, thus highlighting the therapeutic potential of cordycepin in AD.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided lumbar quadratus muscle plane block combined with general anesthesia on the analgesic effect during and after laparoscopic colon cancer radical surgery in elderly patients.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 61 elderly patients who underwent radical colon cancer surgery at the Changsha Central Hospital Affiliated to South China University from May 2022 to February 2023, with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) grades Ⅱ to Ⅲ. They were randomly divided into SA and GA groups using a random number table method, with 31 patients in the SA group and 30 patients in the GA group. The SA group received ultrasound-guided plane block of the upper lumbar quadratus muscle in the arcuate ligament combined with general anesthesia, while the GA group received simple general anesthesia. Record the mean artery pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of two groups of patients at the time of entering the operating room (T 0), 5 minutes before skin incision (T 1), at skin incision (T 2), 30 minutes after surgery (T 3), at surgery end (T 4), and during anesthesia resuscitation and extubation (T 5); The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of two groups of patients at T 5, upon returning to the ward (T 6), 6 hours (T 7), 12 hours (T 8), 24 hours (T 9), and 48 hours (T 10) after surgery were recorded; The dosage of sufentanil, remifentanil, and propofol used during surgery, anesthesia recovery time, total number of analgesic pump presses within 48 hours after surgery, Lovett muscle strength score, early postoperative recovery, and adverse reactions within 48 hours after surgery were also recorded. Resultsl:The MAP and HR of the SA group were lower than those of the GA group at T 1-5 (all P<0.05); The VAS score of the SA group was lower than that of the GA group at T 5-10 (all P<0.05); The intraoperative dosage of propofol, remifentanil, and sufentanil in the SA group was lower than that in the GA group (all P<0.05); The anesthesia recovery time and first time out of bed in the SA group were earlier than those in the GA group (all P<0.05); The total number of times the analgesic pump was pressed within 48 hours after surgery was less than that of the GA group ( P<0.05); The incidence of nausea and vomiting within 48 hours after surgery in the SA group was lower than that in the GA group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative Lovett muscle strength score, hospital stay, and dizziness incidence between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided lumbar quadratus muscle plane block on the arcuate ligament can significantly reduce the dosage of intraoperative general anesthesia drugs and postoperative analgesics in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colon cancer surgery, reduce postoperative pain scores, effectively alleviate postoperative pain, and thus advance the patient′s first time out of bed activity, reduce postoperative complications, and promote rapid recovery.

Objective To investigate the expression of FBXO43in various cancers and its relationship with immune cell infiltration and prognosis using bioinformatics.Methods Gene expression data for 33 cancers were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx)databases to analyze FBXO43expression.Clinical and survival data were sourced from the TCGA database.Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis(GEPIA)was used to assess the correlation between FBXO43expression and the clinical stage.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between FBXO43expression and prognosis.R lan-guage was used to analyze the associations between FBXO43expression and clinical stages,immune cell infiltration,immune checkpoint genes,tumor mutation burden(TMB),microsatellite instability(MSI),and mismatch repair(MMR)genes.The potential biological mech-anisms of FBXO43were explored using gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA).Moreover,qRT-PCR was performed to measure FBXO43 expression in normal gastric mucosal cells(GES-1),gastric cancer cells(HGC-27,MGC-803,and MKN-45),normal liver cells(LO-2),and liver cancer cells(SMMC-7721,HEPG2,HuH7,and MHCC97-H).Results Combined TCGA and GTEx database statistics revealed higher FBXO43expression in 26 types of cancer tissues,including adrenocortical carcinoma(ACC),bladder urothelial carcinoma,breast invasive carcinoma,cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma,cholangiocarcinoma,colon adenocarcinoma,and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,than in normal tissues(P<0.05).However,FBXO43expression was lower in three types of cancer tissues:kidney chromophobe(KICH),testicular germ cell tumor(TGCT),and thyroid carcinoma(P<0.05).GEPIA data analysis showed that FBXO43expression positively correlated with the clinical stages of ACC,KICH,kidney renal clear cell carcinoma(KIRC),and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma(KIRP)and negatively correlated with the clinical stages of ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma(OV)and TGCT(P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that abnormal FBXO43expression was associated with the prognosis of various cancers(P<0.05).Specifically,high FBXO43expression was a risk factor for ACC,KICH,KIRC,KIRP,low-grade glioma,liver hepato-cellular carcinoma,mesothelioma,and sarcoma,but protective in thymoma(THYM).The XCELL algorithm found that FBXO43expres-sion was negatively correlated with immune scores in nine types of cancer tissues,including glioblastoma multiforme,KIRP,acute myeloid leukemia,lung squamous cell carcinoma,and OV,and closely related to immune cell infiltration levels in 24 types of cancer tissues,espe-cially showing a significant negative correlation with most immune cells in SARC(P<0.01).Correlation analysis revealed a significant association between FBXO43and TMB,MSI,and MMR in all cancers.GSEA analysis indicated that FBXO43is involved in the cell cycle and immune-related functions in various tumors.qRT-PCR results showed that FBXO43expression was upregulated in liver cancer cells and downregulated in gastric cancer cells(all P<0.05).Conclusion Abnormal FBXO43expression is closely associated with the occur-rence and progression of multiple cancers.Thus,FBXO43may serve as a novel marker of immune cell infiltration and prognosis,thereby offering new directions for targeted cancer therapy.

Objective To screen long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)associated with disulfidptosis and investigate the immune landscape between lncRNA and pancreatic cancer,for effective guidance in clinical practice.Methods The normal and pancreatic cancer tissue samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database,and the lncRNA associated with disulfidptosis was identified based on the Cox and LASSO regression analyses.A risk prognosis model was constructed,and its predictive performance was verified using comprehensive methods.An accurate nomogram was construted to predict the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer.The biological differences were analyzed via Gene Ontology,Gene Set Enrichment Analysis,and an immunoassay.The immunotherapy response was estimated using the tumor mutational burden(TMB)score.Results A total of 251 disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs were successfully identified,and three groups of lncRNAs were selected as the reference for the risk model.Pathway analysis showed that immune-related pathways were associated with disulfidptosis-related lncRNA risk models.The risk score was significantly correlated with immune cell infiltration and the ESTIMATE score.Patients with higher risk scores had elevated TMB,indicating that high-risk patients exhibited a better immune checkpoint blockade response.Conclusion The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of disulfidpto-sis-related lncRNA and provide a potential therapeutic strategy for pancreatic cancer.
