Objective To investigate the effects of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia on blood glucose and cortisol in spinal neurosurgery.Methods Forty-four spinal neurosurgery patients were divided into propofol combined with remifentanil group (PR group) and sevoflurane combined with remifentanil group (SR group ), 22 cases in each group,they were induced with propofol, sufentanil and rocuronium. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane in SR group while propofol in PR group. Depth of anesthesia adaption according to bispectral index (BIS)(45 -55). Blood glucose, cortisol, haemodynamics were observed at different time points. Results The mean arterial pressure(MAP) was higher after induction in PR group than that in SR group(P < 0.05 ). Sixty minutes after induction, MAP was lower than that before induction in PR group (P < 0.05 ). Heart rate ( HR )in both SR group and PR group were lower at 60 and 120 minutes after induction than those before induction (P < 0.05). HR was lower at 5 minutes after induction in PR group than that in SR group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was showed in blood glucose and cortisol between the two groups (P > 0.05 ). Cortisol level was significantly lower at 120 minutes after induction than that before induction [(40.6 ± 18.3) μg/L vs. ( 129.7 ± 36.7 ) μg/L, P < 0.05 ] and at 24 hours postoperative [ (93.6 ± 19.8 ) μg/L ] recovered to the level before induction in PR group. Cortisol level was significantly higher before induction than 120 minutes after induction [ ( 130.5 ± 32.1 ) μg/L vs. (51.6 ± 16.8 ) μg/L, P < 0.05 ] and 24 hours postoperative was (75.9 ± 18.2) μg/L in SR group. Conclusions Two anesthetic regimens are compatible during spinal neurosurgery, with no apparent fluctuations of perioperative blood glucose. However, longer cortisol inhibition is probably happened when using sevoflurane.

Objective:To analyze the factors influencing pH value in umbilical arterial blood gas (UABG) analysis in preterm infants.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on live singleton preterm infants ( n=573) who received UABG analysis in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2017 to February 2019. Analysis of variance, independent sample t-test, Spearman's or Pearson's correlation analysis, or linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results:There was no significant difference in UABG pH value between preterm infants of different gestational ages (F=1.74, P=0.077). Spearman's correlation analysis found no correlation between gestational age and UABG pH value in premature infants ( r=0.003, P=0.940), and neither did Pearson's correlation between birth weight and pH value ( r=0.025, P=0.548). UABG pH value in preterm infants was linearly correlated with vaginal delivery ( t=-5.72, P<0.001), gestational hypertension ( t=-3.99, P<0.001) and placental abruption ( t=-4.52, P<0.001). Conclusions:Preterm infants at different gestational ages show a similar pH value in UABG. For those born to mothers with gestational hypertension or placental abruption, when vaginal delivery is pending, close monitoring and full preparation for resuscitation are necessary.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of umbilical arterial blood pH with Apgar score and its perinatal influencing factors as well as effects on short-term neonatal outcomes.Methods:This study retrospectively collected the clinical data of 7 183 singleton newborns who were born at ≥35 gestational weeks with umbilical artery blood gas analysis in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2017 to February 2019. All cases were divided into two groups according to their Apgar scores at 1 min: low Apgar group (≤7 scores, n=42) and normal Apgar group (>7 scores, n=7 141). Moreover, according to the pH value of umbilical artery blood they were also allocated into acidosis group (pH<7.2, n=379 ) and normal pH group (pH≥7.2, n=6 804). Independent sample t test, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Pearson's correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the correlation between umbilical arterial blood pH and Apgar score, effects of perinatal complications on umbilical arterial blood pH, and influences of acidosis on early neonatal outcomes. Results:The umbilical arterial blood pH in the low Apgar group was significantly lower than that in the normal Apgar group (7.19±0.13 vs 7.32±0.07, t=-6.011, P<0.001). There was a positive correlation between the umbilical arterial blood pH and Apgar score at 1 min ( r=0.217, P<0.001). Fetal distress was an independent risk factor for low Apgar score ( OR=20.553, 95% CI: 4.380-96.443, P<0.001). Premature rupture of membranes was an independent risk factor for acidosis ( OR=1.316, 95% CI: 1.035-1.673, P=0.025). The incidence of low Apgar score [6.33% (24/379) vs 0.26% (18/6 804), χ2=217.075], respiratory distress [6.60% (25/379) vs 2.62% (178/6 804), χ2=21.205] and intracranial hemorrhage [1.06% (4/379) vs 0.04% (3/6 804), Fisher's exact test] was significantly higher in the acidosis group than in the normal pH group (all P<0.001). Conclusions:Neonates with lower umbilical arterial blood pH value should be closely monitored after birth as they are more likely to have respiratory distress and intracranial hemorrhage. Umbilical arterial blood pH value may be effective and is recommended in predicting neonatal early outcome.

Objective:To analyze the cost difference between bilateral surgery and unilateral surgery in the same diagnosis-related group(DRG), and to explore the necessity of coefficient adjustment in DRG payment for bilateral surgery.Methods:The medical record frontpage information of all discharged patients who were divided into FJ25(complicated operation of venous system, without complications and accompanying diseases)by DRG in a tertiary hospital from 2017 to 2019 was selected, and the cost difference between unilateral operation and bilateral operation was compared.Results:A total of 359 patients were included, including 230 patients(64.07%) in unilateral operation group and 129 patients(35.93%) in bilateral operation group. There was no significant difference in gender, age and length of hospital stay between unilateral operation group and bilateral operation group( P>0.05). The hospitalization expenses of the bilateral operation group were higher than those of the unilateral operation group( P<0.05), and the differences mainly came from the expenses of consumables, operation, anesthesia and drugs. There was no significant difference in the expenses of diagnosis and treatment, and the cost of inspection between the two groups( P>0.05). The individual burden of patients with medical insurance in bilateral operation group was higher than that in unilateral operation group. Conclusions:In the same DRG group, the adjustment coefficient can be used to adjust the medical insurance payment for bilateral surgery, so as to avoid the occurrence of clinical decomposition hospitalization behavior.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Methods The clinical data of 815 late preterm infants (449 males and 366 females) from 25 hospitals in Beijing were collected from October 2015 to April 2016, including 340 cases(41.7%) with hyperbilirubinemia (hyperbilirubinemia group), and 475 cases without hyperbilirubinemia (control group). The clinical data of two groups were compared, and the maternal factors influencing hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants were analyzed with logistic regression. Results There were no significant differences in gender ratio (M:F 1.39 vs. 1.12, t=1.811,P=0.172)and birth weight[(2502.6±439.6)g vs. (2470.2±402.9)g,χ2=2.330,P=0.127)]between two groups. The incidence rates of hyperbilirubinemia in infants of 34 wks, 35 wks and 36 wks of gestational age were 22.9%(87/174), 35%(119/300) and 42.1%(143/341) respectively (χ2=1.218,P=0.544). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the maternal age(OR=1.044,95% CI:1.010-1.080,P=0.011)was independent risk factor and multiple births(OR=1.365,95%CI:0.989-1.883,P=0.048), premature rupture of membranes(OR=2.350,95% CI:1.440-3.833,P=0.001), cesarean section(OR=1.540,95%CI:0.588-4.031,P=0.014)were risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Conclusions The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants is relatively high. Maternal age, multiple births, premature rupture of membranes and cesarean section are risk maternal factors related to hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants.

Objective:To study the respiratory morbidity and the risk factors of respiratory complications in late-preterm infants.Methods:The data of 959 late-preterm infants in 21 hospitals in Beijing from October 2015 to April 2016 were collected.These infants were divided into the respiratory morbidity group (237 cases) and the control group (722 cases) according to whether they had short-term respiratory morbidity after birth.Clinical data of the two groups were compared.Results:Among the 959 late-preterm babies, 530 were male and 429 were female.Two hundred and thirty-seven cases (24.7%) developed short-term respiratory morbidity after birth.Infectious pneumonia developed in the most cases (81 cases, 8.4%), followed by transient tachypnea (65 cases, 6.8%), amniotic fluid aspiration (51 cases, 5.3%), and respiratory distress syndrome (24 cases, 2.5%) successively.All the infants recovered and discharged.There were no differences between gender and maternal age between 2 groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the control group, more late-preterm infants were delivered by cesarean section (73.4% vs.59.7%, χ2=14.43, P<0.001) and the 1-minute Apgar score was lower [(9.41±1.66) scores vs.(9.83±0.53) scores, t=5.40, P<0.001] in the respiratory morbidity group.The differences were statistically significant.There were more cases with maternal complications in the respiratory morbidity group that in the control group (66.7% vs.58.6%, χ2=4.877, P=0.027), but no difference in various complications between 2 groups was observed ( P>0.05). In the respiratory morbidity group, the most frequent complications were maternal hypertension and preeclampsia (27.8% vs.22.6%, χ2=2.728, P=0.099). There were no differences between 2 groups in gestational age, birth weight and birth length (all P>0.05). There were more infants small for gestational age and large for gestational age in the respiratory morbidity group than in the control group (18.8% vs.14.1%, 6.3% vs.2.4%, χ2=8.960, P=0.011). The duration of hospitalization of the respiratory morbidity group was significantly longer than that of the control group [(9.00±4.42) d vs.(6.82±4.19) d, t=6.676, P<0.001] since the infants with respiratory morbidity needed to be hospita-lized. Conclusions:Respiratory diseases occur in about 1/4 of late-preterm infants.Infants who are delivered by cesarean section and whose mothers are complicated with the maternal hypertension and preeclampsia should be monitored closely.Respiratory support should be provided for infants not appropriate for gestational age who are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases, so that they can successfully pass through the transition period.

BACKGROUND:
In China, lung cancer remains the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality rate. Among early-stage lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD), the micropapillary (MPP) component is prevalent and typically exhibits high aggressiveness, significantly correlating with early metastasis, lymphatic infiltration, and reduced five-year survival rates. Therefore, the study is to explore the similarities and differences between MPP and non-micropapillary (non-MPP) components in malignant pulmonary nodules characterized by GGOs in early-stage LUAD, identify unique mutational features of the MPP component and analyze the relationship between the ZNF469 gene, a member of the zinc-finger protein family, and the prognosis of early-stage LUAD, as well as its correlation with immune infiltration.
METHODS:
A total of 31 malignant pulmonary nodules of LUAD were collected and dissected into paired MPP and non-MPP components using microdissection. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the components of early-stage malignant pulmonary nodules. Mutational signatures analysis was conducted using R packages such as maftools, Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF), and Sigminer to unveil the genomic mutational characteristics unique to MPP components in invasive LUAD compared to other tumor tissues. Furthermore, we explored the expression of the ZNF469 gene in LUAD using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to investigate its potential association with the prognosis. We also investigated gene interaction networks and signaling pathways related to ZNF469 in LUAD using the GeneMANIA database and conducted Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. Lastly, we analyzed the correlation between ZNF469 gene expression and levels of immune cell infiltration in LUAD using the TIMER and TISIDB databases.
RESULTS:
MPP components exhibited a higher number of genomic variations, particularly the 13th COSMIC (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer) mutational signature characterized by the activity of the cytidine deaminase APOBEC family, which was unique to MPP components compared to non-MPP components in tumor tissues. This suggests the potential involvement of APOBEC in the progression of MPP components in early-stage LUAD. Additionally, MPP samples with high similarity to APOBEC signature displayed a higher tumor mutational burden (TMB), indicating that these patients may be more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. The expression of ZNF469 was significantly upregulated in LUAD compared to normal tissue, and was associated with poor prognosis in LUAD patients (P<0.05). Gene interaction network analysis and GO/KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that COL6A1, COL1A1, COL1A2, TGFB2, MMP2, COL8A2 and C2CD4C interacted with ZNF469 and were mainly involved in encoding collagen proteins and participating in the constitution of extracellular matrix. ZNF469 expression was positively correlated with immune cell infiltration in LUAD (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The study has unveiled distinctive mutational signatures in the MPP components of early-stage invasive LUAD in the Asian population. Furthermore, we have identified that the elevated expression of mutated ZNF469 impacts the prognosis and immune infiltration in LUAD, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in LUAD.
