Objective To observe the influence of combined spinal and epidural anesthesia( CSEA) of different po-sitions on the anesthesia effect, anesthesia operation and hemodynamic index during cesarean section of obese par-turients. Methods Eighty obese parturients[BMI≥30] undergoing cesarean section were randomly divided into two groups, that was group A and B, with 40 cases each. In group A, the parturients were required to undergo lat-eral decubitus position with 0.5% ropivacaine hydrochloride of 2. 4 ml. In group B, the parturients were required to undergo sitting position with the same ropivacaine hydrochloride as group A. The following data was recorded, which were the percentage of one-attempt's successful epidural needle placement, the anesthesia level,the anesthe-sia effect and the hemodynamic change. All the complications were also observed,such as the supine hypotension syndrome during operation,headache after spinal anesthesia and postoperative spinal nerve stimulation. ResultsThe difference of anesthetic effect between the two groups was insignificant in statistics while group B's rate of one-attempt successful puncture was higher than gruop A ( P <0.05 ) . The difference of hemodynamic index between them was significant in statistics ( P<0.05 ) with group B's rate of supine hypotension syndrome lower than group A. Conclusion Both body positions have the same anesthtic effect for obese parturients during cesarean section while the puncture operation of sitting positon is easier than lateral decubitus position and the hemodynamic change is also more stable.

[Abstract] [Objective] To assess the effect of a centrifugal haemocyte separator on platelet counts in patients with neurological immune-mediated disorders during/after therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). [Methods] This study included 189 patients (108 females and 81 males) who were treated in the department of neurology at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, from March 2021 to March 2022. A total of 820 TPE treatments were carried out. Each patient received 2 to 5 TPEs, with each TPE amounting to the patient's plasma volume. The peripheral blood cell counts of the patients were evaluated before TPE and after 2 to 5 TPEs. [Results] The duration of a single TPE in this study was 94(84,107) minutes, and the actual volume of a single TPE replacement was 2 456(2 142, 2 785) mL. The number of patients who underwent TPE for 2, 3, 4, and 5 sessions was 17, 28, 18, and 126, respectively. The platelet (PLT) counts of the patients before and after the TPE were 195×109/L (range:150 to 245) and 220×109/L (range:170 to 270), respectively (P<0.05). Consequently, the overall PLT counts exhibited a significant decrease from baseline following TPE, yet the PLT counts remained within the normal range after TPE. Spearman's correlation analysis indicated that platelet loss did not correlate with the duration of TPE (ρ=0.037), the age of the patient (ρ=0.015), or the volume of the single replacement fluid (ρ=0.034), P>0.05, weakly correlated with the number of TPE sessions (ρ=0.017), and moderately correlated with the PLT counts before TPEs (ρ=0.446). [Conclusion] The TPE procedure exhibited a measurable impact on the patients' platelet levels, but the platelet counts remained within the normal range, therefore did not interfere with the patients' subsequent treatment protocols. The decrease in platelet level was correlated with the baseline platelet level before treatment and the number of TPE sessions.

BACKGROUND:
Existing evidence suggests that fruit consumption is a significant influencing factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but this is unclear in the Chinese population. We examined the association of fresh fruit consumption with the risk of COPD-related hospitalization and death in a nationwide, population-based prospective cohort from China.
METHODS:
Between 2004 and 2008, the China Kadoorie Biobank recruited >0.5 million adults aged 30 to 79 years from ten diverse regions across China. After excluding individuals diagnosed with major chronic diseases and prevalent COPD, the prospective analysis included 421,428 participants. Cox regression was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) for the association between fresh fruit consumption and risk of COPD-related hospitalization and death, with adjustment for established and potential confounders.
RESULTS:
During a mean follow-up of 10.9 years, 11,292 COPD hospitalization events and deaths were documented, with an overall incidence rate of 2.47/1000 person-years. Participants who consumed fresh fruit daily had a 22% lower risk of COPD-related hospitalization and death compared with non-consumers (HR = 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.71-0.87). The inverse association between fresh fruit consumption and COPD-related hospitalization and death was stronger among non-current smokers and participants with normal body mass index (BMI) (18.5 kg/m 2 ≤ BMI < 24.0 kg/m 2 ); the corresponding HRs for daily fresh fruit consumption were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.68-0.89) and 0.69 (95% CI: 0.59-0.79) compared with their counterparts, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
High-frequency fruit consumption was associated with a lower risk of COPD in Chinese adults. Increasing fruit consumption, together with cigarette cessation and weight control, should be considered in the prevention and management of COPD.
