Objective:To explore the risk factors of chronic postoperative inguinal pain for laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair and establish a nomogram prediction model for it.Methods:The clinical data of 576 patients who underwent laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair for inguinal pain at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2015 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to different postoperative outcomes, patients were divided into chronic pain group ( n=54) and non-chronic pain group ( n=522), compared two groups of patients in the material, including gender, age, BMI, smoking history, history of drinking, hypertension, diabetes, chronic bronchitis, abdominal surgery history, history of inguinal hernia, hernia type, the hernial sac size, prophylactic use of antibiotics, VAS score, mesh fixation techniques, operation time, length of stay. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as ( ± s) and independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparision between groups. Chi-square test was used to compare the measurement data of counting data.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain. R software was used to establish the drawing of the nomogram prediction model, and the consistency index, calibration chart and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive ability of the nomogram prediction model. Results:According to the results of the Logistic regression analysis, age≤45 years ( OR=2.202, 95% CI: 1.080-4.491), BMI≥24 kg/m 2 ( OR=2.231, 95% CI: 1.204-4.134), hernial sac≤5 cm ( OR=2.623, 95% CI: 1.309-5.257), recurrent hernia ( OR=2.769, 95% CI: 1.118-6.860), preoperative pain ( OR=4.121, 95% CI: 2.004-8.476), suture fixation ( OR=2.204, 95% CI: 1.151-4.219)and Postoperative acute pain (VAS>3) ( OR=5.814, 95% CI: 2.532-13.350) were independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain ( P<0.05). Based upon the above independent risk factors, the nomogram prediction model was established and verified. The area under the curve of the nomogram prediction model was 0.779 (95% CI: 0.718-0.840, P<0.01). After internal verification, the concordance index value of the prediction model was 0.779. Conclusion:age≤45 years, BMI ≥24 kg/m 2, hernial sac≤5 cm, recurrent hernia, preoperative pain, suture fixation and Postoperative acute pain (VAS>3) are independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain for laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair, the nomogram prediction model has a good accuracy and discrimination with a high value of clinical application.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the efficacy and cognitive function of adolescents with depression. MethodsA total of sixty adolescent depression patients who met the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) and were admitted to the psychological outpatient clinic of the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Technology from September 2021 to March 2022 were selected for the study, and the random number table method was used to divide the study group (escitalopram oxalate combined with rTMS treatment) and a control group (escitalopram oxalate combined with rTMS pseudo-stimulation treatment) of 30 cases each, and both groups were treated for 4 weeks. Before treatment and at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks of treatment, patients' depressive symptoms were assessed using the scores and subtraction rates of the Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24), and before treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment, cognitive function was assessed using the Motion Screening Task (MOT), Rule Switch Task (RST) and Delayed Matching-to-Sample (DMS) task of the Zhiyun Neuropsychological Automated Test System assessment. Adverse effects during treatment were recorded in both groups. ResultsRepeated measures ANOVA results showed statistically significant time main effects, group main effects, and the interaction between the two groups for HAMD-24 scores before treatment and after 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks of treatment in patients (F=522.021, 39.905, 26.412, P<0.05). Individual effect analysis showed statistically significant differences in HAMD-24 scores between the two groups after 2, 3 and 4 weeks of treatment (t=-12.784~-2.776, P<0.01). After 4 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate of treatment in the study group was higher than that in the control group (93.33% vs. 73.33%, χ2=4.320, P<0.05), and the differences in each indicator of RST and DMS between the two groups were statistically significant compared with those before treatment (t=-5.616~9.135, P<0.05 or 0.01), and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t=-4.823~5.518, P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionrTMS may help improve depressive symptoms as well as cognitive function in adolescents with depression.
