OBJECTIVETo assess patients' knowledge, attitudes, and concerns regarding anesthetic management.

METHODA survey of 55 items was developed and administered preoperatively to 500 patients including 190 men and 310 women in our hospital. Patients were interviewed on their knowledge of the role of anesthesiologists, their preferences regarding anesthetic management, and also their concern about potential anesthetic complications.

RESULTSPatients' perceptions of anesthesiologists' training and role have reached a certain level. Most significant preoperative concerns regarding the anesthesiologists focused on experience, qualifications, and presence or absence during the anesthesia. Patients' concerns also included the possibility of not being waken up following anesthesia, experiencing postoperative pain, and becoming paralyzed. The variations of concerns depended partially on patients' sex, type of anesthesia, and proposed surgical procedure, partially on their education and living environments.

CONCLUSIONIt is suggested that anesthesiologist address significant patient concerns during the preoperative visit to enhance their effectiveness in patient care. Efforts to educate the public on the anesthesiologists' role in preoperative care would improve patients' confidence.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of the free fibula flap transplantation in repair of the defect of tibia and soft tissue with the help of augmented reality (AR) technology.Methods:From May, 2017 to May, 2019, 9 patients with tibial and soft tissue defects were treated. Before operation, CTA scan was performed on both shanks to obtain DICOM data of tibial bone defect. Images of the designed fibular flap and its blood supply model were imported into Sina software through computer virtual surgery assistant technology. With the AR technology, information of virtual fibula flap were projected onto the body surface at the donor site, and the operation was carried out under the precise positioning. In this group, the free fibular flap was harvested with an area of 6.0 cm×4.0 cm-12.0 cm×6.0 cm and the length of fibula was 6.0-13.5 cm. The free fibula flap were used to repair the tibial defect with 5.0-12.0 cm in length and soft tissue defect area at 5.0 cm×3.0 cm-10.0 cm×4.5 cm. Patients were followed-up to observe the survival of fibular flap and the functional recovery of the repaired lower limb, and evaluate the clinical effect.Results:All the fibular flaps survived without vascular crisis and without serious complications occurred at both of donor and recipient sites. After 8-12 months of follow-up, the flap was soft in texture and good in blood supply. The appearance of the repair site was not bloated. Callus began to form at the junction of fibula and tibia at 3-5 months and healed well in 8-12 months. No bone resorption, nonunion, loosening or falling off of screws were found. There was no pain in the shank of the recipient area. Patients could stand and walk freely, and the weight-bearing function was close to normal. According to Enneking system, the average score was 27 points; 7 cases were excellent and 2 cases were good.Conclusion:Application of AR technology in the repair of tibial bone defect with fibular flap transplantation has good clinical effect and has certain practical value.

Objective To evaluate the effect of mild hypothermia on the renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and the expression profile of RNA-binding motif protein 3(RBM3) and its downstream effector molecules during this process. Methods Eighteen healthy SD male rats were randomly divided into the normal control (NC) group, IRI group and mild hypothermia pretreat (MHP) group, with 6 rats in each group. Serum creatinine level was measured to evaluate the renal function. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to assess the renal tissue injury. Western blot was used to determine the relative expression levels of RBM3, Yes-associated protein 1(YAP1), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf2), B cell-lymphoma-2(Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) in the kidney tissues. Immunohistochemical staining was employed to further detect the expression levels of RBM3 and YAP1 proteins. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay was adopted to detect the cell apoptosis of kidney tissues. Malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were evaluated to determine the oxidative stress level of kidney tissues. Results Compared with the NC group, the serum creatinine level, the pathological injury score of kidney tissues and the expression levels of RBM3, YAP1 and Nrf2 proteins were significantly up-regulated, the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was considerably lower, the apoptosis rate was remarkably elevated, the MDA content was significantly increased and the SOD activity was dramatically reduced in the IRI and MHP groups (all P < 0.05). Compared with the IRI group, the serum creatinine level and the pathological injury score of kidney tissues were significantly decreased, the expression levels of RBM3, YAP1 and Nrf2 proteins were significantly up-regulated, the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was considerably higher, the apoptosis rate was significantly decreased, the MDA content was significantly decreased and the SOD activity was considerably elevated in the MHP group (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Mild hypothermia may exert protective effect upon renal IRI and it could alleviate cell apoptosis and oxidative stress injury induced by IRI, probably by up-regulating the expression level of RBM3 and its downstream effector molecules of YAP1 and Nrf2.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for the detection of fetal chromosome copy number variations (CNVs). METHODS: Clinical data of 18 661 pregnant women who underwent NIPT were collected. For fetuses suspected for carrying CNVs, amniotic fluid samples were collected for chromosomal karyotyping and/or chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). RESULTS: Among all samples, NIPT suggested that 58 fetuses carried trisomy 21, 18 carried trisomy 18, 19 carried trisomy 13, 1 carried trisomies 18 and 21. Eighty eight women accepted invasive prenatal diagnosis. The results of CMA in 59 cases were consistent with those of NIPT, which yielded a consistency rate of 67.05%. In addition, 37 cases of fetal CNVs were detected by NIPT, of which 19 (15 microdeletions and 4 microduplications) have accepted invasive prenatal diagnosis. In 14 cases, the results were consistency with those of NIPT, with a consistent rate of 73.68%. CONCLUSION NIPT features high sensitivity and accuracy. Invasive prenatal diagnosis should be considered for CNVs detected by NIPT, and by tracing its parental origin, it can provide guidance for clinical practice.
