Objective:To investigate the relationship between the mechanism of clonidine preventing sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity and Tau phosphorylation in neonatal mice.Methods:Seventy-two SPF healthy newborn C57BL/6 wild-type mice, aged 6 days, were divided into 4 groups ( n=18 each) using a random number table method: normal control group (C group), clonidine control group (CC group), sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity group (S group) and prevention with clonidine group (SC group). Mice inhaled 3% sevoflurane for 2 h daily on postnatal days 6, 9 and 12, and normal saline or clonidine 1 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected before anesthesia in S group and SC group. Six mice were randomly selected from each group after the end of anesthesia on postnatal day 12, and the hippocampal tissues were removed for determination of the expression of the phosphorylated Tau protein (AT8) and total Tau protein (Tau46) at Tau-PS202 and Tau-PT205 sites by Western blot. The ratio of AT8 expression to Tau 46 expression (AT8/Tau46 ratio) was calculated. Another 12 mice in each group underwent novel object recognition test on postnatal days 29-30 (the discrimination ratio of novel objects was observed), and the Morris water maze test was performed on postnatal days 31-37 (the escape latency and the times of crossing the platform were observed). After the end of the behavioral testing, the hippocampal tissues were harvested under anesthesia to detect the expression of postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) by Western blot. Results:Compared with group C, the expression of AT8 was significantly up-regulated, the ratio of AT8/Tau46 was increased, the expression of PSD-95 was down-regulated, and the number of crossing platforms and novel object discrimination ratio were decreased in group S ( P<0.05). Compared with group S, the expression of AT8 was significantly down-regulated, the ratio of AT8/Tau46 was decreased, the expression of PSD-95 was up-regulated, and the number of crossing platforms and novel object discrimination ratio were significantly increased in group SC ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of Tau46 and escape latency among the four groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which clonidine prevents sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity in neonatal mice is related to the inhibition of Tau phosphorylation.

Objective To identify the risk factors for newly developed lower extremity deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in patients transferred to the anesthesia intensive care unit(AICU)after general anes-thesia.Methods A total of 192 patients who were transferred to AICU with tracheal intubation after elective general anesthesia from May 2022 to August 2022,105 males and 87 females,aged 18-85 years,BMI 18-31 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱor Ⅲ,were retrospectively collected.The patients'baseline da-ta,anesthesia surgery data and preoperative and postoperative laboratory examination data were obtained.The patients were divided into two groups according to the results of ultrasound within 6 hours after admission to the AICU:DVT group and non-DVT group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors and 95%confidence interval(CI)of DVT in AICU patients within 6 hours after sur-gery.ResultsNew DVT occurred in 64 patients(33.3%)in AICU after general anesthesia were calf inter-muscular venous thrombosis(CMVT).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative ar-rhythmia(OR = 2.236,95%CI 1.011-4.943,P = 0.047),high preoperative platelet count(OR = 1.006,95%CI 1.002-1.010,P = 0.007),high preoperative D-dimer concentration(OR=1.203,95%CI 1.046-1.383,P = 0.010),intraoperative hypotension(OR = 1.010,95%CI 1.002-1.019,P = 0.020),and intraoperative norepinephrine application(OR = 3.796,95%CI 1.697-8.492,P = 0.001)were risk factors for new DVT formation in AICU patients after general anesthesia.History of regular intake of aspirin(OR = 0.176,95%CI 0.060-0.518,P = 0.002)was protective factor.Conclusion Preoperative arrhythmia,high preoperative platelet count,high preoperative D-dimer concentration,intraop-erative hypotension,and administration of intraoperative norepinephrine are risk factors for new DVT within 6 hours after general anesthesia in AICU patients.

Objective To assess the predictive value of bedside diaphragmatic ultrasound in predicting pulmonary complications(PPCs)after thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods The patients who had undergone elective thoracoscopic lobectomy in Henan Provincial People's Hospital were collected.General information and perioperative indicators were recorded.Diaphragmatic motility was detected by bedside ultrasound preoperatively and on postopera-tive days 1,3,and 5.The patients were divided into two groups(PPCs group and non-PPCs group).Statistically different parameters in univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen inde-pendent influencing factors of PPCs.Receiver operating curve(ROC)was drawn,and the performance of diaphragm ultrasound for predicting PPCs was evaluated by the area under the curve(AUC).Results 949 patients were included in this study.PPCs occurred in 537 patients(57.5% ).Univariate analysis showed that as compared with the non-PPCs group,the proportion of diabetic patients and postoperative VAS score in the PPCs group increased,time to chest tube removal and one-lung ventilation,and postoperative hospital stay were longer.PPCs group had a lower DE value on the operative side and healthy side on postoperative days 1 and 3 and on the operative side alone on day 5(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that prolonged one-lung ventilation time,diabetes mellitus,DE values on the operative side and unoperative side on postoperative days 1 and 3,and decreased DE value on the operative side on day 5 were independent risk factors for PPCs.The ROC curve shows that the efficacy of DE for pre-dicting PPCs on the operative and healthy sides on postoperative days 1 and 3 was relatively high(AUC of 0.797,0.821,0.933,and 0.929;respectively).The efficacy of DE for predicting PPCs on the operative side was poor on postoperative day 5(AUC of 0.703 and 0.512,respectively).Conclusions A decrease in postoperative DE,prolonged one-lung ventilation time,and diabetes are independent risk factors for PPCs after thoracoscopic lobectomy.Bedside ultrasound evaluation of DE has a higher value in predicting PPCs three days after surgery.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for prolonged length of stay in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU-LOS) and development of a prediction model in the patients undergoing radical esophagectomy.Methods:The medical records from patients of both sexes, aged 40-80 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠ-Ⅲ, transferred to PACU with tracheal intubation after radical esophagectomy under general anesthesia in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020, were retrospectively collected. The patient′s age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification, smoking history, drinking history, history of non-thoracic surgery, history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, preoperative anemia, respiratory diseases, doses of anesthetics, preoperative nerve block, intraoperative consumption of opioids and dexmedetomidine, operation method (thoracotomy and endoscopic surgery), operation time, usage of vascular drugs, bradycardia, hypotension, red blood cell infusion, plasma infusion, total infusion volume, blood loss and urine volume were collected. The extubation time in PACU, visual analog scale scores at rest at 10 min after extubation, consumption of rescue analgesics in PACU, hypoxemia after extubation, and occurrence of nausea and vomiting were also collected. Patients were divided into PACU-LOS normal group (PACU-LOS≤2 h) and PACU-LOS prolonged group (PACU-LOS>2 h) according to the PACU-LOS. Logistic regression analysis was used to identity the risk factors for prolonged PACU-LOS in the patients undergoing radical esophagectomy, and the predictive model was established and verified. The receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the model discrimination and Hosmer-Lemshow goodness-of-fit test was used to evaluate the consistency of the model.Results:A total of 943 patients were included in this study, and the incidence of prolonged PACU-LOS was 15.7%. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( OR=4.900, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 2.512-9.556), increasing age ( OR=22.154, 95% CI 6.736-73.003), prolonged time of extubation ( OR=1.214, 95% CI 1.174-1.256) and hypoxemia after extubation ( OR=4.891, 95% CI 2.167-11.039) were risk factors for prolonged PACU-LOS, and the preoperative use of nerve block ( OR=0.358, 95% CI 0.190-0.672) was a protective factor for prolonged PACU-LOS in the patients undergoing radical esophagectomy ( P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (95% CI) was 0.947 (0.925-0.963), the sensitivity was 0.878, and the specificity was 0.906. The internal validation of the prediction model was carried out using the receiver operating characteristic curve in the validation set, and the area under the curve (95% CI) was 0.942 (0.895-0.942, P<0.001) and the Youden index was 0.784. The line chart prediction model was developed. The prediction analysis model was verified by Hosmer-Lemshow test, P<0.001, and the C-index visualized line chart prediction model was 0.946. Conclusions:Preoperative chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, increasing age, prolonged time of extubation and hypoxemia after extubation are risk factors for prolonged PACU-LOS, and preoperative use of nerve block is a protective factor for prolonged PACU-LOS. The risk prediction model developed can effectively predict the occurrence of prolonged PACU-LOS in the patients undergoing radical esophagectomy.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of interventional embolization of middle meningeal artery(MMA)for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH).Methods The clinical data of 14 patients with CSDH(17 lesions in total),who were treated with simple embolization of MMA at the Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College of China between July 2021 and July 2022,were retrospective analyzed.After superselective catheterization of MMA using a microcatheter was accomplished,Onyx-18 glue,a liquid embolization agent,was used to embolize the main trunk and the branches of MMA.Imaging follow-up was adopted at 30 days and 90 days after discharge from hospital to evaluate the absorption of hematoma,and the improvement of clinical symptoms was defined as the modified Rankin Scale score(mRS)being decreased≥1 point from the baseline value.Results Successful embolization of MMA was accomplished for all the 17 lesions in the 14 patients,and no procedure-related complications occurred.During the follow-up period,the clinical symptoms and signs were remarkably improved in all patients.The postoperative 90-day hematoma volume was reduced by more than 90%in 11 patients and by more than 40%in one patient,and in 2 patients the postoperative 30-day hematoma volume was reduced by more than 30%.Complete absorption of hematoma was seen in 11 patients,and partial absorption of hematoma was observed in 3 patients.Conclusion For the treatment of newly-developed or recurrent CSDH,interventional embolization of MMA is clinically safe and effective.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:12-16)

Objective:To examine the feasibility and clinical effect of all-inside endoscopic procedure through two portals combined with double-hemisection Achilles tendon lengthening for Achilles tendon contracture.Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. From February 2021 to February 2023, the clinical data of 24 patients (30 feet) with Achilles tendon contracture treated with all-inside endoscopic procedure through two portals combined with double-hemisection Achilles tendon lengthening were analyzed retrospectively. There were 10 males and 14 females, aged (32.8±16.1) years (range: 9 to 62 years). There were 8 cases of left side only, 10 cases of right side only and 6 cases of bilateral. There were 14 cases (16 feet) of foot varus, 4 cases (6 feet) of foot valgus, and 6 cases (8 feet) without deformity. All patients underwent all-inside endoscopic procedure through two portals combined with double-hemisection Achilles tendon lengthening. The surgical effects were evaluated using the maximum dorsal extension angle of ankle joint in knee extension position, the visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot score(AOFAS-AH). Paired sample t test was used to compare the scores before and after operation.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation, and the operation time of Achilles tendon lengthening was (22.0±5.7)minutes (range: 15 to 35 minutes) and the intraoperative blood loss was (6.5±2.7)ml (range: 2 to 15 ml). All patients primarily healing without any complications such as sural nerve injury, Achilles tendon rupture, important blood vessel injury, and obvious decrease of lift heel strength of achilles tendon. All 24 patients were followed up for (17.2±4.5) months (range: 12 to 28 months). One patient suffered from lift heel′s weakness in one foot after operation, and recovered after repeated lift heel functional exercises. The ankle dorsiflexion function of two patients with calf triceps spasm were not improved after operation, and it was obviously improved after botulinum toxin injection. At the last follow-up, the maximum dorsal extension angle of ankle joint in knee extension position increased from -9.2°±7.6°(range:-25° to 5°) preoperatively to 14.5°±7.0°(range:0° to 28°)( t=24.83, P<0.01); the VAS score was reduced from (4.5±1.7) points (range:1 to 8 points) preoperatively to (1.5±0.9) points (range:0 to 3 points) ( t=9.53, P<0.01), the AOFAS-AH was increased from (60.5±11.4)points (range:38 to 85 points) to (90.8±5.4) points (range:80-100 points)( t=14.21, P<0.01). Conclusions:All-inside endoscopic procedure through two portals combined with double-hemisection Achilles tendon lengthening for Achilles tendon contracture not only provides Achilles tendon lengthening, but also avoids complications such as Achilles tendon rupture and sural nerve injury. It is an effective method for the treatment of Achilles tendon contracture.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the current status， hotspots and development trends of research on the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD）， providing reference for subsequent research. METHODS Searching the Web of Science database， the literature related to the treatment of NAFLD from the establishment of the database to December 31， 2022 were collected. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 was used to construct a visual atlas， perform collaborative network analysis on authors， countries and institutions， and conduct keyword co-occurrence， clustering and emergence analysis to explore its research status and hotspots. RESULTS A total of 3 882 articles were included， and the number of publications had been increasing year by year. The top three countries in terms of publication volume were China， the United States， and Japan. The author with the highest volume of publications was Sanyal from the United States （37 articles）， while the institution with the highest volume of publications was the University of California， San Diego （75 articles）. A closely connected research team abroad mainly conducted large-scale randomized controlled trials （RCT） to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various interventions， including medication and lifestyle， in treating NAFLD. However， domestic researches mainly focused on basic researches about the treatment of NAFLD with effective medicinal ingredients， and were characterized by traditional Chinese medicine. There were relatively few high-quality large-scale RCT studies related to it. Keyword analysis showed that researches in various countries mainly focused on regulating liver oxidative stress and inflammation， improving the overall balance of glucose and lipid metabolism. Except for hypoglycemic drugs， drugs that act on various comprehensive metabolic homeostasis targets in the body had entered clinical research， and had enormous therapeutic potential. CONCLUSIONS The research on NAFLD treatment continues to grow in popularity and tends to research targets and drugs for regulating systemic metabolic homeostasis. As the main force of research， China should strengthen communication with the international community， grasp the trends and directions of basic research， attach importance to clinical research， and continuously tap the therapeutic potential of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To compare the effects of the modified lytic cocktail and the classic lytic cocktail on organ function of severely scalded rats.Methods:The experimental study method was applied. Twenty-four about 10-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned into sham injury group, scald alone group, classic lytic cocktail group, and modified lytic cocktail group according to the random number table, with 6 rats in each group. In scald alone group, classic lytic cocktail group, and modified lytic cocktail group, rats were subjected to a 30% total body surface area (TBSA) full-thickness scald on the back. Rats in sham injury group underwent a simulated injury process to mimic a sham injury. Immediately after injury, rats in classic lytic cocktail group were intraperitoneally injected with a classic lytic cocktail (12 mL/kg) consisting of pethidine, chlorpromazine, and promethazine, supplemented with gavage using normal saline; and rats in modified lytic cocktail group were intraperitoneally injected with a mixed drug (2 mL/kg) consisting of midazolam and fentanyl, supplemented with gavage using cetirizine. Subsequently, rats in four groups were all intraperitoneally injected with lactated Ringer's solution for fluid resuscitation, with a total fluid and administration volume of 2 mL·kg -1·TBSA -1. On the following day, rats in the two lytic cocktail groups were administered medication once again as above. On post injury day (PID) 3, the abdominal aortic blood, liver, small intestine, and lung tissue were collected from rats in each group. The plasma levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-10, and IL-6 were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), LDH isoenzyme 1 (LDH-1), creatine kinase (CK), CK isoenzyme (CK-MB), urea, creatinine, and uric acid were detected using an automated biochemical analyzer. The histological changes of liver, small intestine, and lung tissue were observed after performing hematoxylin and eosin staining. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test. Results:On PID 3, the plasma level of IL-10 of rats in classic lytic cocktail group was (44±16) pg/mL, which was significantly higher than (20±9) pg/mL in modified lytic cocktail group and (21±6) pg/mL in scald alone group (with P values all <0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in the plasma levels of IL-1β or IL-6 of rats among the four groups ( P>0.05). On PID 3, the plasma levels of ALT and AST of rats in scald alone group were (77±14) and (213±65) U/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than (59±5) and (108±10) U/L in sham injury group ( P<0.05); the plasma levels of ALT and AST in modified lytic cocktail group were (61±3) and (116±11) U/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (81±13) and (207±54) U/L in classic lytic cocktail group ( P<0.05); the plasma level of AST of rats in modified lytic cocktail group was significantly lower than that in scald alone group ( P<0.05). On PID 3, there was no statistically significant difference in the plasma levels of γ-GT, ALP, LDH, LDH-1, CK, CK-MB, creatinine, or uric acid of rats among the four groups ( P>0.05); although there was a statistically significant overall difference in the plasma level of urea of rats among the four groups ( P<0.05), the comparisons between scald alone group and each of sham injury group, classic lytic cocktail group, and modified lytic cocktail group, and the comparison between classic lytic cocktail group and modified lytic cocktail group showed no statistically significant differences ( P>0.05). On PID 3, compared with those in sham injury group, rats in scald alone group exhibited diffuse microvesicular and vacuolar degeneration of hepatocytes in liver tissue, noticeable loose edema in the villous stroma in small intestine tissue, and significantly widened alveolar septa in large area of lung tissue. Compared with those in scald alone group, rats in the two lytic cocktail groups showed alleviated hepatocellular steatosis and vacuolar degeneration, relieved thickening of alveolar walls and edema in the villous stroma of the intestine. The histopathological manifestations of organs in rats of modified lytic cocktail group were closer to those in sham injury group. Conclusions:The classic lytic cocktail may have a stronger anti-inflammatory effect, while the modified lytic cocktail exhibits better protection of liver function, but both of the two lytic cocktails can alleviate the histopathological injury of the liver, lungs, and small intestine in severely scalded rats. For the liver, lungs, and small intestine, the modified lytic cocktail provides organ protection comparable to that of the classic lytic cocktail.
