Objective To explore the effect of etomidate-propofol mixture anaesthesia in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.Methods Eighty-two patients who underwent painless gastrointestinal endoscopy from September 2023 to November 2023 were divided into etomidate-propofol mixture group(observation group,n=41)and propofol group(control group,n=41)by using the random number table method.Morphine-benzedrine group(MBG)scores were recorded 30 min before the examination and before leaving the recovery room in both groups.Percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation(SpO2),heart rate(HR)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)were noted at anesthesia induction(T0),before entering the endoscope(T1),5 min after anesthesia induction(T2),and awakening(T3).Gastrointestinal endoscopy time,awakening time,recovery room stay time,total propofol consumption,and adverse reactions were also documented.Results MBG scores in both groups significantly increased before leaving the recovery room compared to 30 min before the examination,the observation group had lower MBG scores before leaving the recovery room in comparison with the control group,there were statistically significant(P＜0.05).From T1 to T3,MAP,SpO2,HR were higher in the observation group than those in the control group,there were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The observation group had shorter awakening time and recovery room stay time,there were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The observation group had lower total propofol consumption,there was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The observation group also exhibited a lower incidence of hypotension,hypoxemia,and injection pain,there were statistically significant(P＜0.05),with no statistically significant difference in the incidence of other adverse reactions(P＞0.05).Conclusion Etomidate-propofol combination anesthesia can reduce postoperative MBG scores in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy,contributing to a decreased risk of potential propofol addiction and abuse.Additionally,it stabilizes circulatory and respiratory functions,reduces adverse reactions rate,and shortens awakening time and recovery room stay time.Its application is worthy of further promotion.

Nowadays, engineered Komagataella phaffii plays an important role in the biosynthesis of small molecule metabolites and protein products, showing great potential and value in industrial productions. With the development and application of new editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9, it has become possible to engineer K. phaffii into a cell factory with high polygenic efficiency. Here, the genetic manipulation techniques and objectives for engineering K. phaffii are first summarized. Secondly, the applications of engineered K. phaffii as a cell factory are introduced. Meanwhile, the advantages as well as disadvantages of using engineered K. phaffii as a cell factory are discussed and future engineering directions are prospected. This review aims to provide a reference for further engineering K. phaffii cell factory, which is supposed to facilitate its application in bioindustry.

UiO-66 (University of Oslo 66) is a kind of promising material that can improve the release and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble bioactive compounds of traditional Chinese medicine. However, the loading of quercetin in raw UiO-66 was not ideal. In this study, UiO-66-BH (UiO-66-blend-heating) was obtained by heating UiO-66 and KOH solution following blended them. UiO-66-BH maintained the outline of octahedral structure of UiO-66 but with obvious rough and uneven pores on the surface. UiO-66-BH had good adsorption of quercetin with saturation adsorption was 138.92 mg·g^-1, the adsorption process belonged to single molecular layer adsorption and was controlled by chemisorption. UiO-66-BH can control the release of quercetin in simulated gastrointestinal fluid, and the drug concentration was significantly higher than that of free quercetin after long-term release (36% vs 9%). Compared with quercetin, the ABTS (2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) ammonium salt) radical scavenging activity of UiO-66-BH@quercetin drug delivery system decreased, while the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity remained almost unchanged. The drug delivery system showed a strong antioxidant effect similar to quercetin. The findings indicated that UiO-66-BH could control release of quercetin and was expected to be used as a drug carrier material for some insoluble active components of traditional Chinese medicine such as quercetin.
