Objective To observe the effect of scalp nerve block ( SNB ) with ropivacaine hydrochloride at different time points on pain management after craniotomy. Methods Ninety patients undergoing craniotomy were randomly divided into 3 groups:group A, SNB conducted before surgery;group B, SNB conducted after surgery;group C, SNB conducted both before and after surgery, with 0. 5% of ropivacaine hydrochloride in each group. All patients received the same general anesthesia and diclofenac sodium were administered rectally as rescue analgesics. Sites and duration of surgeries, end-tidal sevoflurane concentration during incision, HR and SBP levels during the course of surgery and postoperative period, the VAS scores, GCS and Ramsay scores at 0. 5, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 h postoperatively, time of the first rescue appication analgesics and total consumption of rescue analgesics, the adverse effects, awareness under anesthesia were analyzed respectively, as well as local anesthesia relevant adverse events and time of wound healing. Results The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was significantly decreased in group B (3. 19±0. 36)% as compared with group A (1. 81±0. 24)% and C (1. 77±0. 33)% (P<0. 05);The VAS scores of group A (3. 77±2. 27, 4. 20±2. 09) at 2 and 4 h were higher than those in group B (2. 77±1. 98, 3. 20±2. 20) and C (2. 97±1. 77,2. 27±1. 93) (P<0. 05), while at other time points the differences were not significant (P>0. 05);Compared with group A (600 mg), the consumption of rescue analgesics of group B (300 mg) and C (250 mg) were statistically lower (P<0. 05);Vital signs, GCS, Ramsay scores, time of the first rescue analgesics postoperatively used, and time of wound healing among the three groups were not various significantly (P>0. 05);The relevant side effects were not different statistically, and there were no patients suffering from obvious awareness under anesthesia, pruritus, respiratory depression or local anesthesia relevant adverse effects. Conclusion SNB conducted before surgery can decrease the consumption of sevoflurane during incision, but has limited analgesic effects postoperatively. SNB conducted after surgery may provide transitional analgesia for neurosurgical patients undergoing craniotomy, while SNB conducted both before and after surgery does not show significantly longer analgesic time in postoperative pain management.

Objective:To analyze the intellectual property risk of international cooperative scientific research involving human genetic resources, explore possible risk control measures regarding to intellectual property.Methods:By means of literature review, this paper analyzes the special attributes and strategic position of human genetic resources, reviews the policies and systems involving human genetic resources in international cooperative scientific research, identifies the intellectual property risk points, and puts forward suggestions on risk management and control from the perspective of intellectual property protection.Results:The management of human genetic resources in China is evolving quickly. However, there is still a lack of practical guidelines on intellectual property protection and development, more substantial engagement and contribution of Chinese investigators in the international collaborative research should be promoted, and the perception and awareness of the significance of human genetic resources should be enhanced.Conclusions:In the international cooperative scientific research involving human genetic resources, we should clarify the operating rules at the level of intellectual property protection, improve the substantive participation of Chinese investigators, enhance the strategic awareness and risk awareness of human genetic resources, and provide support at the level of executive management institutions.

Eukaryotic organisms constantly face a wide range of internal and external factors that cause damage to their DNA. Failure to accurately and efficiently repair these DNA lesions can result in genomic instability and the development of tumors (Canela et al., 2017). Among the various forms of DNA damage, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are particularly harmful. Two major pathways, non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR), are primarily responsible for repairing DSBs (Katsuki et al., 2020; Li and Yuan, 2021; Zhang and Gong, 2021; Xiang et al., 2023). NHEJ is an error-prone repair mechanism that simply joins the broken ends together (Blunt et al., 1995; Hartley et al., 1995). In contrast, HR is a precise repair process. It involves multiple proteins in eukaryotic cells, with the RAD51 recombinase being the key player, which is analogous to bacterial recombinase A (RecA) (Shinohara et al., 1992). The central event in HR is the formation of RAD51-single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) nucleoprotein filaments that facilitate homology search and DNA strand invasion, ultimately leading to the initiation of repair synthesis (Miné et al., 2007; Hilario et al., 2009; Ma et al., 2017).
