Objective To explore the curative effects of acupuncture, ultrashort wave combined with kinesio taping in the treatment of chronic ankle sprain for clinical references. Methods All 80 patients with chronic ankle sprain were randomly assigned to the control group and the treatment group. The control group was given the treatment of acupunc-ture and ultrashort wave, and the treatment group was further given the treatment of kinesio taping on the basis of acupuncture and ultrashort wave. One course of treatment lasted for seven days,and the treatment lasted for two courses of 14 days in total. The differences of clinical efficacy were observed between the two groups of patients. VAS and A Modern Practical Handbook of Orthopedics were applied for evaluation before and after the treatment. Results VAS scores and curative effective rate in the two groups all improved,and the improvement in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion The application of acupuncture, ultrashort wave com-bined with kinesio taping in the treatment of chronic ankle sprain is effective in alleviating pain and improving ankle function.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on tourniquet-induced hypertension (TIH) in the patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Methods:Seventy-four patients of either sex, aged 18-60 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification I or II, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, undergoing elective anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction under general anesthesia combined with preoperative femoral nerve block, were divided into 2 groups ( n=37 each) using a random number table method: sham stimulation group (group SS) and group taVNS. Group SS received stimulation on the ear lobe and the tail of the helix of the left ear. Group taVNS received stimulation on the cymba concha and the earlobe of the left ear. Both groups received stimulation from 1 h before induction of anesthesia until the end of the procedure (frequency of 30 Hz, pulse width of 300 μs, and amplitude of the strongest current that could be tolerated by the patient in the absence of pain). The tourniquet inflation pressure was 280 mmHg, with an inflation time of 60-90 min. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were recorded before tourniquet inflation to assess the development of intraoperative TIH. The consumption of intraoperative propofol, remifentanil, nitroglycerin, esmolol, norepinephrine and atropine was recorded, and the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, skin itching and headache and dizziness was also recorded. Results:Compared with group SS, the incidence of TIH and the number of patients used nitroglycerin were significantly reduced ( P<0.05), and no significant changes were found in the other parameters in group taVNS ( P>0.05). Conclusions:taVNS can decrease the occurrence of TIH in the patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of esketamine on the efficacy of postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in the patients with moderate central sensitization undergoing high tibial osteotomy.Methods:Fifty-four patients of both sexes with moderate central sensitization, aged 45-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.0-32.5 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing elective high tibial osteotomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=27 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C) and esketamine group (group ES). Ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block was performed with 0.5% ropivacaine 30 ml on the operated side at 30 min before induction of anesthesia.In C and ES groups, midazolam 0.1 mg/kg, sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg, propofol 1.5 mg/kg, and cisatracurium besilate 0.15 mg/kg were intravenously injected in turn during induction of anesthesia, and in addition esketamine hydrochloride 0.5 mg/kg was injected in ES group, and the equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride was injected in C group, and then a laryngeal mask airway was placed.Anesthesia was maintained with intravenous infusion of remifentanil 0.1-0.3 μg·kg -1·min -1 and propofol 4-6 mg·kg -1·h -1.Esketamine hydrochloride 0.2 mg/kg was intravenously injected once every 20 min until 30 min before the end of operation in ES group, the equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride was injected according to the amount of esketamine hydrochloride injected for the same body weight at the same time point in C group, and additional cisatracurium besilate was administered intermittently according to the degree of muscle relaxation.Intraoperative BIS values were maintained at 40-60.Postoperative PCIA was performed, and the patient was admitted to the post-anesthesia care unit.When the efficacy of PCIA was not good, ketorolac tromethamine 30 mg was intravenously injected for rescue analgesia.The intraoperative consumption of remifentanil and propofol and emergence time in the anesthesia recovery room were recorded.The pressing times of PCA and the number of rescue analgesia in each group were recorded within 2 days after operation.The Chinese Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire was used to assess the nighttime sleep quality on the night of surgery and 1 and 2 days after surgery.The Chinese Quality of Recovery was used to assess the early recovery quality at 1 and 2 days after surgery.The first postoperative off-bed time and first walked distance were recorded.The adverse reactions were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the consumption of remifentanil and propofol was significantly reduced, the emergence time in the anesthesia recovery room was prolonged, the pressing times of PCA and the number of rescue analgesia were decreased within 2 days after operation, the quality of nighttime sleep was improved on the night of surgery and 1 and 2 days after operation, the quality of early recovery on 1 and 2 days after operation was increased, the first postoperative off-bed time was shortened, the first walked distance was prolonged, and the incidence of postoperative adverse effects was decreased in group ES ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Esketamine can enhance the efficacy of postoperative PCIA in the patients with moderate central sensitization undergoing high tibial osteotomy.

Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG)in patients of advanced age with left main coronary artery disease(LMCAD). Methods: From 2005 to 2014, 101 elderly patients(≥80 years)with LMCAD underwent off-pump CABG in our hospital.Among them, 82 were male and 19 were female, with an average age of(81.4±1.7)years.Seventy-six cases(75.2%)had significant left main stenosis(≥70%)and twenty-five cases had left main stenosis less than 70%.The average left ventricular end diastolic diameter was(48.2±8.3)cm; left ventricular ejection fraction was more than 50% in 89 cases and 30% to 50% in 12 cases.Fourteen cases had mitral insufficiency and one had ventricular aneurysm.In addition, 56 patients had New York Heart Association functional classification Ⅰ to Ⅱ, and 45 patients had classification Ⅲ to Ⅳ.Ninety-nine patients had Canadian Vascular Society(CCS)classification of angina pectoris Ⅰto Ⅲ, two had classification Ⅳ and thirteen had acute myocardial infarction.Six patients were implanted with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation before CABG. Results: The average operation time was(3.9±0.8)h, the average number of bridging vessels were(3.0±1.0)roots, ICU monitoring time was(50.2±46.0)h, and ventilator assisted breathing time was(42.9±68.5)h.Six patients(5.9%)had secondary thoracotomy hemostasis, five(4.9%)had secondary tracheal intubation, and four(4.0%)had continuous dialysis.Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation was implanted in 3cases(2.9%)during operation and in 11 cases(10.9%)after operation.Two cases(2.0%)had perioperative myocardial infarction and 8 cases(7.9%)died after operation during hospitalization.The median follow-up time was 6(1-11)years, and 17(16.8%)had all-cause mortality. Conclusions Although the two independent high-risk factors, old age and left main stenosis often coexist, off-pump CABG and perioperative management are still safe and effective treatments.

Objective:To summarize the experience of reoperation for 23 cases of cardiac myxoma recurrence.Methods:From January 2002 to December 2018, 1106 patients with cardiac myxoma underwent surgical treatment. Among them, 23 patients underwent reoperation after recurrence. 10 males and 13 females with an average age of (50.5±10.8) years old. There were 22 patients with secondary operation and 1 patient with four operations. 3 cases with mitral insufficiency and 1 case with tricuspid insufficiency. There were 20 patients with NYHA Ⅰ-Ⅱ and 3 patients with Ⅲ-Ⅳ. A total of 1 083 patients with cardiac myxoma undergoing primary operation were selected as the control group. The operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic clamping time, ICU monitoring time, ventilator assisted breathing time, postoperative hospital stay, in-hospital mortality and cardiac ejection fraction at discharge were compared between the two groups.Results:8 cases (34.8%) had the first onset in the left atrial septum, and 15 cases (65.2%) in other parts. Recurrence site: left atrium in 17 cases(73.9%), left ventricle in 2 cases (8.7%), right atrium in 3 cases (13.0%), right ventricle in 1 case (4.3%). Reoperation accounted for 2.1% of cardiac myxoma surgery in the same period. The median recurrence time of 13 patients was 24 months. During the same period, mitral valve replacement was performed in 2 cases, mitral valvuloplasty in 1 case and tricuspid valve plasty in 1 case. The average operation time was (3.9±2.8) h, cardiopulmonary bypass time was (107.6±33.8) min, aortic clamping time was (64.9±23.8) min, ICU monitoring time was (20.1±16.0) h, ventilator assisted breathing time was (16.9±8.5) h, cardiac ejection fraction at discharge was 0.51±0.10, postoperative hospital stay was (8.3±1.5) days. The median follow-up time was 5 (1-18) years. One case (4.3%) died of all causes. There was no significant difference in ICU monitoring time, ventilator assisted breathing time, discharge cardiac ejection fraction, postoperative hospital stay and hospital mortality between reoperation patients and one operation ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Atypical cardiac myxoma has a high recurrence tendency after operation. Regular follow-up after the first operation of cardiac myxoma is a necessary means to early detect recurrence and avoid complications. Reoperation after recurrence can still achieve satisfactory results.

At present， there are still some problems in China’s clinical comprehensive drug evaluation， such as the unscientific design of the evaluation content， the nonstandard evaluation method and organizational process， and the evaluation results not meeting the decision-making needs. It is urgent to carry out quality control over the whole process of the clinical comprehensive drug evaluation project. From the technical point of view， the quality control methods of clinical comprehensive drug evaluation are discussed through three links of the evaluation content and design （giving the quality control key points of the theme selection process and scheme design）， the evaluation method （discussing the quality control elements of two common evaluation methods， i. e. documentary evidence method and real-world research） and result application transformation （giving suggestions on quality control from the comprehensive analysis of evaluation results， transformation of evaluation results and decision-making）， so as to promote the quality improvement of clinical comprehensive drug evaluation.

OBJECTIVE To construct the drug clinical comprehensive evaluation index system and quantitative grading in China， and to provide a reference for scientifically carrying out comprehensive clinical evaluation of drugs. METHODS The analytic hierarchy model was used to establish the drug clinical comprehensive evaluation index system， the weight of the evaluation index and the quantitative grading of each index were determined through expert consultation and model calculation. RESULTS The results of expert consultation were integrated by using the analytic hierarchy model， and the drug clinical comprehensive evaluation index system was obtained： including six first-level indicators of effectiveness， safety， economy， suitability， accessibility and innovation， as well as twenty-three second-level indicators of recommended status， medication for special populations， and drug treatment costs； the weight of each indicator was calculated through estimation-matrix method. CONCLUSIONS The analytic hierarchy model can construct the drug clinical comprehensive evaluation index system and quantitative grading in China， which can provide methodological references for comprehensive analysis and decision-making， thus making the clinical comprehensive evaluation of drugs completer and more scientific.

【Objective】 To investigate the feasibility of prostatic exosomal protein (PSEP) detection kit in the diagnosis of histological prostatitis (HP) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and to explore the correlation between PSEP and other clinical parameters. 【Methods】 A total of 104 patients with BPH or BPH plus HP treated during Nov.2021 and Nov.2022 were involved. The patients were instructed to fill out the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) scale independently before surgery. Clinical data such as prostate volume, residual urine volume, free prostate specific antigen (fPSA), total prostate specific antigen (tPSA), and fPSA/tPSA were collected. Preoperative midstream morning urine was collected for PSEP detection. 【Results】 The sensitivity and specificity of PSEP in the diagnosis of BPH were 93.51% and 70.37%, respectively, which were highly consistent with the postoperative pathological diagnosis results (Kappa=0.663). Serum PSEP level was positively correlated with tPSA level (r=0.242, P=0.040). 【Conclusion】 PSEP has a high clinical diagnostic value in the diagnosis of HP, which can provide a reliable basis for the diagnosis of HP in BPH patients and improve the diagnosis rate.

Objective     To summarize the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment experience of 1 106 patients with cardiac myxoma. Methods     Clinical data of 1 106 patients with cardiac myxoma who underwent surgical treatment in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from 2002 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 749 (67.7%) females and 357 (32.3%) males. Results     The highest incidence rate was at the age of 51-70 years. The location of the disease was: left atrium in 987 (89.2%) patients, right atrium in 99 (9.0%) patients, left ventricle in 10 (0.9%) patients, right ventricle in 8 (0.7%) patients. There were 1 013 patients of heart classification (NYHA) Ⅰ-Ⅱ and 93 patients of Ⅲ-Ⅳ. There were 301 patients with cerebral infarction and 57 patients with peripheral arterial embolism. Tumor size was closely related to hemodynamic symptoms (P≤0.05), but not to peripheral vascular embolism (P>0.05). Two (0.2%) patients died in hospital and 306 patients were followed up, with a follow-up rate of 27.7%. The median follow-up time was 7 years (range, 1-18 years). One patient died of all causes, and 23 patients recurred, with a recurrence rate of 2.1%. Among 23 recurrent patients, 15 (65.2%) patients were atypical myxoma and 8 (34.8%) patients were typical myxoma. There was no statistical difference in aortic clamping time, ICU stay time, ventilator-assisted breathing time, postoperative hospital stay time, postoperative mortality, or cardiac ejection fraction at discharge between the reoperation in 23 recurrent patients and the first operation in 1 083 non-recurrentpatients. Conclusion     Cardiac myxoma is more common in middle-aged and elderly women, and it often occurs in the left atrium. The size of cardiac myxoma can affect the hemodynamic changes. Surgical treatment is effective. Atypical myxoma is more common in recurrent patients, and the effect is still satisfactory through surgical treatment.
