Objective To analyze the influencing factors of substandard steady state blood trough concentration of meropenem in the first monitoring.Methods Patients who were treated with meropenem and monitored steady-state blood trough concentration from July 2021 to June 2023 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were selected as the study subjects,and the patient's age,gender,and other medical history data were recorded.The steady-state blood trough concentration of meropenem was determined and the target was identified.According to the monitoring results,the patients were categorized into the standard group(2.0-16.0 mg·L-1)and non-standard group(＜2.0 mg·L-1 in the low concentration group and＞16.0 mg·L-1 in the high concentration group).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses of relevant variables were performed for the low and high concentration groups,respectively,compared with the standard group to screen for risk factors for substandard steady-state trough concentration of meropenem.Results A total of 324 patients were included,there were 189 cases(58.33％)were reached the standard concentration,while 135 cases(41.67％)were failed to meet the standard(86 cases in low concentration group and 49 cases in high concentration group).The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that glomerular filtration rate(P＜0.05),abumin(P＜0.05)and craniocerebral diseases(P＜0.05)were risk factors in the low concentration group compared with the standard group,the glomerular filtration rate of patients with brain injury was significantly higher than patients without brain injury;cystatin-C(P＜0.05)was a protective factor for the concentration of meropenem in both groups.The daily dose of meropenem(P＜0.05)and procalcitonin(P＜0.05)were risk factors for high meropenem blood concentrations in the high-concentration group compared with the standard group,whereas glomerular filtration rate(P＜0.05)was ta protective factor for the concentration of meropenem in the two groups.Conclusion Glomerular filtration rate,albumin and brain injury were risk factors for low steady-state blood trough concentrations of meropenem,whereas daily dose of meropenem and procalcitonin of meropenem were risk factors of high steady-state blood trough concentrations of meropenem.

AIM:To investigate the impact of es-ketamine-mediated opioid-free anesthesia(OFA)on postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gas-tric cancer.METHODS:A total of 150 pa-tients,scheduled for elective laparoscopic distal gas-trectomy for gastric cancer and meeting the inclu-sion and exclusion criteria,were randomly assigned to either the OFA group or the opioid-based anes-thesia(OBA)group using a random number ta-ble,with 75 patients in each group.The OFA group was administered an anesthesia regimen pri-marily consisting of esketamine,while the OBA group received conventional opioid anesthesia,pri-marily consisting of sufentanil and remifentanil.The primary outcome measure was postoperative flatus time,defined as the interval from the end of sur-gery to the first passage of gas.RESULTS:The OFA group exhibited a shorter postoperative flatus time compared to the OBA group(P＜0.01).Intraopera-tive blood loss and norepinephrine consumption were significantly less in the OFA group compared to the OBA group(P＜0.05);the postoperative HADS-D score was better in the OFA group than in the OBA group,and both the OFA and OBA groups showed significantly lower postoperative HADS-A and HADS-D scores compared to their preoperative levels(P＜0.05);the incidence rate of abdominal distension was significantly lower in the OFA group compared to the OBA group(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The use of esketamine-mediated opioid-free anesthesia can expedite gastrointestinal function recovery,reduce hospital stay duration,and decrease postoperative adverse reactions in patients undergoing laparo-scopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Magnesium metabolism disorders are very common in patients with chronic kidney disease, and precise management of blood magnesium levels is crucial for improving patient prognosis. Current studies indicate that low serum magnesium levels may exacerbate vascular calcification and inflammatory responses in these patients, interfere with glucose metabolism, and increase the risks of cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality. It is also closely associated with the development of hypertension, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. Conversely, a certain degree of elevated serum magnesium levels may help reduce blood pressure, improve vascular calcification and inflammatory status, and decrease the risks of all-cause mortality and fracture incidence. However, whether high serum magnesium levels can reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease remains a controversial issue. This review aims to discuss the research progress on magnesium metabolism disorders in patients with chronic kidney disease from multiple perspectives.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of the Da Vinci robotic single-port-plus-one technique in common urological surgeries in children.Methods:The data of 59 children who underwent robot-assisted single-port-plus-one laparoscopic surgery from May 2022 to November 2023 in Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 44 males and 15 females, aged 36 (6, 108)months. Among them, 27 cases had ureteropelvic junction obstruction, with a preoperative anterior-posterior diameter of the renal pelvis of (31.83±6.59) mm. The American Society of Fetal Urology (SFU) grading system revealed grade Ⅲ in 8 sides and grade Ⅳ in 19 sides. Bilateral renal function showed a difference of 13.50% (7.18%, 31.06%). Additionally, 17 cases presented with vesicoureteral reflux. Preoperative voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) indicated reflux grades Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ in 8, 14, and 4 sides, respectively, with a difference in bilateral renal function of 18.58% (6.04%, 28.30%). Ten cases had obstructive megaureter, with a preoperative renal pelvis diameter of (22.17±7.64)mm and a maximum ureteral diameter of (19.51±3.71)mm. The preoperative bilateral renal function difference was 18.02% (5.23%, 49.42%).Five cases involved duplicated kidney and ureter. Magnetic resonance urography (MRU) confirmed unilateral duplicated kidneys with associated dilatation of the upper renal pelvis and calyces, hydroureter, thin renal cortex in all 5 patients. Among them, 2 cases had ectopic ureteral opening and 1 case had terminal ureteral cyst. Patients with ureteropelvic junction stenosis underwent pyeloplasty, those with vesicoureteral reflux and obstructive megaureter underwent ureteral reimplantation, and patients with duplicated ureters underwent nephrectomy. The Da Vinci robotic surgical system was employed for all procedures. The port placement technique involved a 2-3 cm incision around the navel to insert a single-port four-channel device, followed by the placement of an additional 8 mm operating channel in the left or right abdomen under direct visualization based on the surgical site. Preoperative and postoperative parameters were compared.Results:All operations were successfully completed without conversion to open or laparoscopic surgery. The operation time of the ureteropelvic junction obstruction children was (141.52±22.93) min. The postoperative renal pelvis diameter and bilateral renal function difference were (12.54±4.05) mm and 5.60%(2.14%, 14.48%), respectively, both of which showed significant improvement compared to preoperative levels ( P<0.01). Postoperative hydronephrosis grades were as follows: 13 sides with grade Ⅰ, 13 sides with grade Ⅱ, and 1 side with grade Ⅲ. The operation time of vesicoureteral reflux children was (125.00±11.75) min in the unilateral group and (153.22±14.39) min in the bilateral group. Postoperatively, 2 sides demonstrated reflux grade Ⅰ, 1 side grade Ⅱ, and 1 side grade Ⅲ, indicating improvement compared to preoperative levels. Bilateral renal function difference post-surgery was 13.34% (1.85%, 20.54%), which was more balanced than preoperatively ( P=0.011). Postoperative renal pelvis anterior-posterior diameter and maximum ureteral diameter were reduced to (10.31±3.86) mm and (6.62±2.44) mm, respectively, which were significantly smaller than preoperative measurements ( P<0.01). The bilateral renal function difference post-surgery was 12.04% (4.85%, 47.53%), showing improvement, though not statistically significant ( P=0.508). The operation time of the repeated nephrectomy children was (140.00±12.75) min. No recurrence of preoperative symptoms was noted, and renal cortical function remained generally normal during follow-up. In this study, only 3 cases of obstructive megaureter developed febrile urinary tract infection within 1 month after surgery, and no complications were observed in the remaining cases. Conclusions:This study preliminarily confirmed that the Da Vinci robotic single-port-plus one-port technology can be used in the treatment of common diseases of the urinary system in children. The patients' symptoms were significantly relieved after surgery, and the indicators of hydronephrosis improved compared with those before surgery. The incidence of postoperative complications was low, and aesthetic outcomes of postoperative scars were enhanced. Further studies are needed to assess its long-term efficacy.

Objective:To address the inefficiency, safety hazards, and resource wastage in traditional medical laboratory management, this study proposes a digital laboratory information management system (LIMS) based on Total Quality Management (TQM) principles. The LIMS has been implemented at the National Center for Geriatric Medicine (Huashan) affiliated with Fudan University.Methods:Centered on the principles of " all-staff participation, whole-process control, and comprehensive management", a multidimensional management framework was developed to integrate personnel, equipment, reagents, and safety protocols. The system incorporated IoT, digital twin, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to achieve end-to-end digital control. A layered architecture (physical layer, data layer, model layer, etc.) was designed to integrate functional modules such as full lifecycle equipment management, dual-authentication for hazardous chemicals, and intelligent resource scheduling. A 3D digital twin model was deployed to visualize real-time laboratory operations.Results:Post-implementation, equipment reservation frequency and usage duration at the National Center increased by 114% and 124%, respectively, with no safety incidents reported. Equipment sharing utilization reached 85%, and reagent expiration waste decreased by 30%.Conclusions:The system transforms laboratory management from experience-driven to data-driven by breaking data silos and optimizing collaboration mechanisms. It provides a replicable technical pathway and practical insights for the healthcare industry′s digital transformation. However, further improvements are needed in mobile support and system scalability.

The neurophysiological mechanisms by which exercise improves cognitive function have not been fully elucidated. A comprehensive and systematic review of current domestic and international neurophysiological evidence on exercise improving cognitive function was conducted from multiple perspectives. At the molecular level, exercise promotes nerve cell regeneration and synaptogenesis and maintains cellular development and homeostasis through the modulation of a variety of neurotrophic factors, receptor activity, neuropeptides, and monoamine neurotransmitters, and by decreasing the levels of inflammatory factors and other modulators of neuroplasticity. At the cellular level, exercise enhances neural activation and control and improves brain structure through nerve regeneration, synaptogenesis, improved glial cell function and angiogenesis. At the structural level of the brain, exercise promotes cognitive function by affecting white and gray matter volumes, neural activation and brain region connectivity, as well as increasing cerebral blood flow. This review elucidates how exercise improves the internal environment at the molecular level, promotes cell regeneration and functional differentiation, and enhances the brain structure and neural efficiency. It provides a comprehensive, multi-dimensional explanation of the neurophysiological mechanisms through which exercise promotes cognitive function.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of transumbilical single-port robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for congenital choledochal cysts in children.Methods:Clinical data of 13 children with congenital choledochal cysts undergoing surgery at the Provincial Hospital of Fuzhou University from January 2024 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 4 males and 9 females, aged 48 (24, 60) months. All children underwent transumbilical single-port robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical resection of congenital choledochal cyst with common hepatic duct jejunum Roun-en-Y anastomosis by the same surgeon. The efficacy of this technique was evaluated by surgical safety indicators such as operation time and intra-operative blood loss, as well as indicators of the postoperative scar assessment scale (OSAS).Results:All surgeries were successfully performed without conversion to open surgery. The operation time was (200±22) min. The blood loss was (8.07±2.56) ml without intraoperative blood transfusion. The time to start water feeding was (2.76±0.83) d and the time to start liquid diet was (3.92±1.12) d. The postoperative hospital stay was (7.00±3.37) d and the postoperative follow-up time was (5.38±2.06) months. No postoperative complications such as bile reflux gastritis and cholangitis were seen in patients. No dilatation of the common hepatic duct or intrahepatic bile ducts were observed at three months postoperatively. There were good indicators of satisfaction with the appearance of wounds as assessed by OSAS.Conclusion:Transumbilical single-port robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery could be safe and effective for congenital choledochal cysts in children.

Objective To understand the current status of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among operating room doctors,thereby analyzing its effect on mental health. Methods A total of 1013 doctors in the operating rooms of 30 hospitals in 24 provinces from September to December 2022 were selected by cross-sectional survey method. The domestic musculoskeletal disease questionnaire was used to investigate the occurrence of WMSDs in operating room doctors,the symptom check list-90 (SCL-90) was used to evaluate the psychological status of operating room doctors,the relationship between WMSDs related items and SCL-90 scores was analyzed,the correla-tion between the rest time of each shift and SCL-90 factors was analyzed by Pearson method,and the influencing factors of mental health of operating room doctors were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results A total of 1100 questionnaires were distributed and 1013 valid questionnaires were recovered,with an effective rate of 92.10％. The incidence of WMSDs among operating room doctors in the past 1 year was 95.06％. The body parts with incidences of WMSDs from high to low were as follows:waist (36.92％),neck (35.54％),shoulder (33.56％),and upper back (32.77％). In the past 1 year,the SCL-90 scores and total scores of patients with musculoskeletal pain in various body parts,keeping the same back posture for a long time while work,bending the back at the same time of turning frequently while working,bowing the head for a long time while working,and bending the knee for a long time while working were significantly higher than those who were without the above conditions (P<0.05). Shorter rest time of each shift and longer periods of keeping the same back posture were the risk factors for the development of mental illness in operating room doctors. Conclusion The incidence of WMSDs in operating room doctors is high,which can influence the mental health of operating room doctors. Therefore,operating room doctors should avoid keeping the same back posture for a long time,bending the back at the same time of turning frequently,bowing the head for a long time,and bending the knee for a long time while working,and increase the rest time of each shift,in order to improve the mental condition of the operating room doctors.
