Objective:To evaluate the perioperative application effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) clinical pathway in percutaneous vertebro plasty (PVP).Methods:The clinical data of 274 patients who underwent PVP treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from May 2023 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the different numbers of surgical segments: the single-segment group ( n=211) and the multisegment group ( n=63). Patients in the single-segment group underwent single-segment surgery, while patients in the multisegment group underwent surgery on ≥2 segments. The core points of the ERAS clinical pathway adopted in this study include perioperative education, pain management, early mobilization, application of "outfast", and joint guidance from the departments of nutrition and rehabilitation. Comparison was made between the two groups of patients in terms of visual analog scale (VAS) scores for low back pain at preoperative, 2 h, 6 h, 24 h postoperatively, and on the day of discharge; Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores preoperatively and on the day of discharge; time to first ambulation postoperatively, total length of hospital stay, postoperative length of stay, perioperative complications, and perioperative application of Opioid consumption. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups; count data were expressed as cases and percentage, and the Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. The VAS pain scores at each stage of the perioperative period were evaluated using repeated measures analysis of variance or generalized estimating equations. Results:Compared with that before the operation [(6.17±0.93) points, (6.29±0.83) points], the VAS scores of low back pain of patients in the single-segment group and the multisegment group at 2 hours after surgery [(3.09±0.82) points, (3.27±0.65) points], 6 hours after surgery [(2.60±0.79) points, (2.62±0.55) points], and 24 hours after surgery [(1.89±0.77) points, (1.97±0.72) points] and on the day of discharge [(1.72±0.71) points, (1.81±0.64) points] were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the same stage, the VAS scores of low back pain in both groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The ODI scores of patients in the single-segment group and the multisegment group on the day of discharge [(24.21±2.35) points, (24.63±3.31) points] were significantly lower than those before the operation [(64.50±4.81) points, (65.52±4.08) points], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in perioperative complications and the proportion of Opioid drug application between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For patients with single-segment or multisegment OVCF, PVP surgical treatment under ERAS clinical pathway management can achieve immediate pain relief, early ambulation exercise, and satisfactory perioperative efficacy.

Objective:To evaluate preoperative malnutrition risk in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) based on mini nutritional assessment short form (MNA-SF) and analyze the related clinical risk factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted using clinical data from 129 OVCF patients who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, between May 2023 and December 2023. The cohort included 26 males and 103 females, aged (74.71±9.13) years(ranging from 48-98 years). According to MNA-SF scoring method, they were divided into three groups, the malnutrition group ( n=6), the nutritional risk group ( n=40), and the good nutrition group ( n=83). Nutritional risk and malnutrition rates were evaluated using the MNA-SF score. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s) and compared using one-way ANOVA. The comparison between groups of count data was conducted using chi-square test. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify independent risk factors for malnutrition and nutritional risk. Results:According to the MNA-SF score, among 129 patients, the malnutrition rate was 4.7%, the nutritional risk rate was 31.0%, and 64.3% exhibited adequate nutrition based on MNA-SF scores. The results of one-way ANOVA showed that gender ( P=0.023) and BMI ( P<0.001) were significantly correlated with malnutrition and nutritional risk; Logistic regression analysis suggested that the influencing factors of nutritional risk included gender ( P=0.002) and BMI ( P<0.001), while the only dangerous factor of malnutrition was BMI ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Bsed on MNA-SF, OVCF patients undergoing percutaneous vertebroplasty have a higher incidence of malnutrition and nutritional risk. The risk factors for nutritional risk in patients are gender and BMI, while the risk factor for malnutrition is only BMI.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)in reducing the consumption of analgesics after total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods Totally 124 patients undergoing unilateral TKA were included and divided into an intervention group and a control group according to random number table method,with 62 cases in each group.Both groups received routine postoperative analgesic protocols,with the intervention group additionally receiving TEAS treatment,30 min per time,twice a day.The additional doses of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia pumps and opioid analgesic consumption in two groups of patients after surgery were analyzed,as well as the adverse events and laboratory test results(WBC,PLT,SCr,BUN,ALT and AST)in both groups.Results The number of additional doses in the intervention group with the patient-controlled analgesia pump and the consumption of opioid analgesic were both lower than those in the control group(P<0.05);the incidence of postoperative nausea symptoms in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group,while other adverse reactions showed no significant difference(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in laboratory test results(WBC,PLT,SCr,BUN,ALT and AST)between the two groups on the day before surgery and on the 1st and 7th days after surgery(P>0.05).Conclusion TEAS can reduce the consumption of analgesics after TKA,decrease some adverse reactions associated with the use of analgesics,and has good safety.

Objective:To explore the effects of childhood trauma on resting blood pressure, heart rate, and heart rate variability in patients with depression.Methods:A cross-sectional study was designed to prospectively collect clinical data on a total of 163 patients with depression, including 47 males and 116 females, aged 18-50 years,with mean[ M( Q1, Q3)] [29.0, (21.0, 37.0)]years, who were either the outpatients or the inpatients in the Mental Health Center of the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from September 2022 to June 2024. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short form (CTQ-SF) was used to assess the experience of abuse and neglect during childhood. According to the CTQ-SF score, the subjects were divided into a trauma group ( n=80) and a non-trauma group ( n=83). The 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD 17) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were used to assess depressive and anxiety symptoms in the participants, respectively. A digital blood pressure monitor and an autonomic nervous system response detector were employed to measure resting blood pressure, heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV). Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between childhood trauma and resting blood pressure, heart rate, and HRV. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to analyze factors influencing these parameters. The Bootstrap method was employed to test the potential mediating role of parasympathetic nervous system activity in the relationships between childhood trauma and resting blood pressure, and heart rate. Results:No significant difference was observed in resting heart rate between the trauma and non-trauma groups ( P>0.05). However, the trauma group exhibited higher resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure [(123.3±9.1) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs(116.9±10.8) mmHg, (80.0±8.6) mmHg vs (77.0±8.0) mmHg; Z=4.08, 2.24, all P<0.05]. HRV indices, including the standard deviation of normal to normal interval (SDNN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), total power (TP), low frequency (LF), and high frequency (HF), were significantly lower in the trauma group [25.3 (19.4, 30.4) me vs 36.3 (27.4, 49.0) ms, 18.3 (12.9, 27.2) me vs 26.2 (19.0, 38.5) ms, 6.0(5.4, 6.5)ms 2vs 7.0(6.3, 7.4)ms 2,4.4(3.7,5.3)ms 2vs 5.8(4.9,6.3)ms 2, 4.2(3.4, 5.2)ms 2vs 5.2(4.6, 6.1)ms 2, respectively; all P<0.001]. Spearman correlation analysis showed that childhood trauma experiences in patients with depression were positively correlated with resting systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure ( r=0.309, 0.236; P<0.01), childhood trauma was negatively correlated with HRV (SDNN, RMSSD, TP, LF, HF) ( r=-0.264, -0.274, -0.271, -0.235, -0.279; all P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that childhood trauma was positively correlated with resting-state systolic blood pressure and resting-state diastolic blood pressure ( β=0.305, 0.291; all P<0.001). Childhood trauma was negatively correlated with RMSSD, TP, LF, and HF( β=-0.244, -0.249, -0.233, -0.263; all P<0.01). Mediation effect analysis showed that parasympathetic activity partially mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and resting systolic blood pressure (effect size 0.04, standard error 0.02, 95% CI=0.01-0.09), accounting for 14.29% (0.04/0.28) of the total effect. Conclusion:Childhood trauma experiences are associated with elevated resting blood pressure and reduced HRV in patients with depression. Decreased parasympathetic activity partially mediates the relationship between childhood trauma and elevated resting systolic blood pressure in these patients.
