Objective:To evaluate the effect of intraoperative optimization of regional cerebral oxygen saturation(rSO 2C) intervention on postoperative delirium(POD) in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB). Methods:Two hundred and seventy-three pediatric patients of both sexes, aged 28 days-6 yr, with American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification ≤Ⅳ, scheduled for elective cardiac surgery under CPB, were divided into intervention group( n=136) and control group( n=137) based on the computer random coding. In intervention group, optimized intervention measures were given when rSO 2C was below 75% of the baseline value for more than 1 min. In control group, rSO 2C was not monitored during operation, and intraoperative management was performed according to the routine monitoring indicators of pediatric cardiac surgery under CPB. The occurrence of POD within 7 days after operation was evaluated, and the duration and first occurrence time of POD were recorded. Results:Compared with control group, no significant change was found in the incidence of POD( P>0.05), the first occurrence time of POD was significantly prolonged, and the duration of POD was shortened in intervention group( P<0.05). Conclusions:Intraoperative optimization of rSO 2C intervention can delay the time to the first occurrence of POD and shorten the duration in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery under CPB.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of limonin on renal lesions， glucose metabolism， inflammation， and oxidative stress in gestational diabetic rats and its possible mechanisms. METHODS The model of gestational diabetic rats was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The diabetic rats were divided into the model group （intragastrical administration and tail vein injection of equal volume of normal saline）， limonin low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （intragastrical administration of limonin， at doses of 12.5， 25.0 and 50.0 mg/kg， and equal volume of normal saline into the tail vein）， and combination group [intragastrical administration of limonin 50.0 mg/kg + tail vein injection of c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK） activator Anisomycin 2 mg/kg ]， with 12 rats in each group. In addition， 12 pregnant rats were selected as the control group （intragastrical administration and tail vein injection of equal volume of normal saline）. They were given relevant medicine， once a day， for 14 consecutive days. After the last administration， fasting blood glucose （FBG）， the levels of fasting insulin （FINS）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-6， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the serum were detected； the levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， and creatinine （Cr） in the renal tissue were detected； the pathological changes of renal tissue were observed； the expressions of proteins related to the JNK/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway in the renal tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with control group， in model group， the rats showed pathological injuries in the kidney tissue， such as glomerular atrophy， edema of renal tubular epithelial cells； the levels of FBG， FINS， IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， MDA， BUN and Cr， HOMA-IR， as well as the phosphorylation levels of JNK and NF-κB 0453-6602005。E-mail：mcvi45@163.com p65 proteins were increased significantly （P＜0.05）， while the levels of SOD and GSH-Px were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， in each dose group of limonin， the degree of renal tissue lesions in rats was alleviated， and the above-mentioned indicators were significantly improved （P＜0.05）， showing an obvious dose-effect relationship （P＜0.05）. Compared with high-dose limonin group， in the combination group， the degree of renal tissue lesions in rats was relatively aggravated， and the changes in the above-mentioned indicators were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Limonin has a certain improvement effect on renal lesions， glucose metabolism， inflammation， and oxidative stress in pregnant rats with gestational diabetes. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the JNK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Cerebral proliferative angiopathy(CPA)was initially regarded as a variant of arteriovenous malformation.However,its distinct histological,angiographic,and pathophysiological features have led to its reclassification as an independent entity.CPA is an exceptionally rare form of cerebral vascular malformation,its pathogenesis is primarily linked to diffuse vascular proliferation secondary to chronic hypoperfusion.Clinically,CPA presents with a heterogeneous spectrum of manifestations,most commonly severe headaches and epileptic seizures.Neuroimaging(MR)typically reveals a complex interplay of aberrant vessels within the brain parenchyma,which may complicate the clinical management and lead to a higher rate of poor prognosis.This article reviewed current knowledge on the pathogenesis,epidemiology,clinical features,diagnostic approaches,and treatment options for CPA,with the aim of enhancing understanding of its underlying mechanisms and guiding future therapeutic strategy optimizations.

BACKGROUND:Surface electromyography has been extensively utilized for monitoring muscle fatigue. However,traditional electromyographic metrics typically focus on individual muscles and fail to assess the variations in a muscle group during the fatigue process. OBJECTIVE:To establish a muscle functional network to extract complex network parameters and investigate the topological property changes of the muscle functional network under different levels of fatigue,aiming to provide theoretical and methodological foundations for fatigue monitoring and prevention. METHODS:Eleven participants performed single-leg leg press exercise at 50％ of one-repetition maximum until exhaustion. Simultaneously,electromyographic signals of seven muscles (rectus femoris,vastus lateralis,vastus medialis,biceps femoris,tibialis anterior,lateral gastrocnemius,and medial gastrocnemius),electrocardiographic signals,and Borg CR-10 scale scores were collected. The Borg CR-10 scale was used to categorize three fatigue stages:mild,moderate,and severe. Heart rate and heart rate variability were calculated to validate the effective division of fatigue stages. Using the coherence of muscle signals,a muscle functional network was constructed with the seven muscles as nodes,and four complex network parameters (clustering coefficient,average weighted degree,global efficiency,and eigenvector centrality) were extracted. Additionally,four electromyographic indices (root mean square,median frequency,instantaneous mean frequency,and co-activation ratio) were extracted and compared under the three levels of fatigue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Differences in heart rate and heart rate variability were observed across three fatigue stages,indicating the effectiveness of fatigue stage delineation. (2) Electromyographic indicators for different muscles under three levels of fatigue:root mean square and co-activation ratio showed no differences;however,median frequency exhibited robust fatigue trends in vastus lateralis,vastus medialis,and biceps femoris,while instantaneous mean frequency demonstrated robust fatigue trends in rectus femoris,vastus lateralis,vastus medialis,and biceps femoris. Instantaneous mean frequency outperformed median frequency and root mean square,yet all three indicators showed robust trends only for the major working muscle groups,unaffected by fatigue factors,unlike the co-activation ratio. (3) The connectivity strength between vastus lateralis and vastus medialis,vastus lateralis and biceps femoris,vastus lateralis and gastrocnemius medialis,and vastus medialis and biceps femoris gradually increased,showing significant differences in average weighted degree,clustering coefficient,and global efficiency post-fatigue,significantly correlated with fatigue levels. To conclude,changes in connectivity strength reflect the synergy and complementarity among muscles during fatigue. Clustering coefficient,average weighted degree,and global efficiency serve as fatigue markers reflecting overall muscle changes.

Objective:To propose a functional method for locating the shoulder joint center of rotation aimed at rapid estimation of the upper limb reachable domain envelope, thereby informing ergonomic design and task optimization.Methods:In March 2024, shoulder kinematics during gait were recorded from ten adults using a three-dimensional motion-capture system. Assuming the existence of a point near the glenohumeral joint that maintains a fixed spatial relationship to the humerus and the acromion, we estimated both static and dynamic centers of rotation. Localization accuracy was quantified by the standard deviation of distance residuals to upper-arm markers. Upper-limb joint angles and anthropometric parameters were modeled via regression; combined with maximal joint ranges of motion, these were used to infer the reachable domain envelope.Results:The static center of rotation was located approximately twenty-two millimeters medial to the acromial landmark in the coronal plane and thirty-seven millimeters inferior to it. The standard deviation of the residuals for the distances from the dynamic shoulder joint center of rotation to upper-arm markers averaged 1.02 mm, which was 47.42% lower than that of the static center of rotation and 66.56% lower than that of the acromion. Moreover, the trajectory of this dynamic center showed a strong correlation with upper-limb joint angles ( R2>0.7) . Conclusion:The proposed method enables rapid and accurate estimation of the upper limb reachable domain envelope to support ergonomic design and may help reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
