Objectives:To evaluate the impact of hemoglobin concentration on 5-year cardiovascular mortality in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy(HOCM).Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed 325 non-surgically treated HOCM patients hospitalized at Fuwai Hospital from October 2009 to December 2014.Baseline information was compared between patients with or without cardiac death.The impact of hemoglobin concentration on 5-year cardiovascular mortality in HOCM patients was analyzed.Results:The median follow-up time was(43.55±19.70)months.During the follow-up period,a total of 29 patients(8.9%)experienced cardiac death.Univariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that hemoglobin concentration was significantly associated with 5-year cardiac mortality in HOCM patients(P<0.001).After adjusting for potential cardiovascular risk factors in multivariate Cox regression analysis,hemoglobin concentration(P=0.011)remained negatively associated with 5-year cardiac mortality in HOCM patient.HOCM patients with decreased hemoglobin level faced a 3.118-fold increase in 5-year cardiac mortality(HR=4.118,95%CI:1.114-14.822,P=0.030).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that HOCM patients with decreased hemoglobin levels had a significantly higher risk of 5-year cardiac mortality(log-rank test,χ2=24.38,P<0.001).Conclusions:Lower hemoglobin concentration is an independent risk factor for 5-year cardiac mortality in patients with HOCM.Compared to patients with normal hemoglobin levels,HOCM patients with decreased hemoglobin level face a 3-fold increase in 5-year cardiac mortality.

Objective To investigate the effect of L4 transverse process erector spinae plane block(ESPB)before general anesthesia hip surgery in elderly patients on reducing perioperative pain and stress,thus reducing opioid consumption and improving postoperative recovery quality.Methods Sixty patients aged 65 years old and above who underwent unilateral hip surgery from January to December 2023 were randomly divided into two groups(n = 30)by using the random number table method.The ESPB group received ultrasound-guided ESPB at the L4 level with 0.3%ropivacaine(0.5 ml/kg)before induction of anesthesia,while the control group did not receive ESPB.Laryngeal mask anesthesia was administered in both groups.The induction and maintenance methods were consistent in both groups.The Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)was used to evaluate the degree of pain at 8 h and 24 h after surgery.The times of pressing analgesic pump within 24 h after surgery were recorded.The hemodynamic changes at each time point during the operation were observed.The time interval from the end of the operation to the complete recovery and to remove the laryngeal mask were recorded.Intraoperative and Postanesthesia Care Unit(PACU)opioid consumption were noted.The incidence of postoperative agitation,postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV),dizziness,and the recovery quality score were compared.Results The NRS scores of rest pain and motion pain at 8 h and 24 h after surgery were significantly lower in the ESPB group than those in the control group,and the times of pressing the analgesic pump within 24 h after surgery in the ESPB group was significantly less than that in the control group(P<0.05).The mean arterial pressure(MAP)of the ESPB group at 20 min after peeling was lower than that of the control group[(87.2±15.5)mm Hg vs.(96.7±16.9)mm Hg,P = 0.026].The sufentanil consumption,remifentanil consumption,and the number of cases using urapidil in the ESPB group were significantly lower than those in the control group[12.5(10.0,14.0)μg vs.12.5(12.5,17.5)μg,P =0.041;270(100,400)μg vs.600(448,800)μg,P<0.001;1 case vs.11 cases,P =0.001].The Steward score at30 min after entering PACU was significantly higher in the ESPB group than in the control group[6(5,6)points vs.5(4,5)points,P<0.001].There was no statistical significance in incidence of postoperative agitation,PONV,and dizziness between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Preoperative ESPB at the level of the L4 transverse process can reduce the pain score within 24 h after surgery,reduce the amount of opioid used during and after hip surgery,and improve the quality of postoperative recovery in the elderly.

Objective An exploratory study of the mechanisms for achieving successful aging at work of clinicians in public hospitals by applying grounded theory and proposing appropriate management recommendations.Methods 24 medical staff from 5 public hospitals in Hubei and Shandong Provinces were interviewed in semi-structured interviews by using purposive sampling methods from June to August in 2023.The interview records were coded,analyzed and integrated with grounded theory.Results Through open coding,spindle coding and selective coding,204 original concepts,47 categories,16 main categories and 5 core category related to model of the mechanism for achieving successful aging at work of clinicians.Conclusion Successful aging at work of senior clinicians encompasses five main areas:physical and mental health,work adaptation,relationships and legacy,internal and external compensation,and value realization.Organizational support factors,individual job crafting affect successful aging at work of senior clinicians by meeting the psychological needs,achieving effective resource management,and promoting person-job matching;individual characteristic factors play a moderating role;job crafting mediates the effect of organizational support factors on successful aging at work among clinicians.

In clinical practice, red blood cell infusion needs to be based on the patient′s hemoglobin level. However, different guidelines recommend different thresholds for red blood cell infusion and the timing of blood transfusion initiation is still controversial due to the presence of these different thresholds. Meanwhile, the use of allogeneic blood products carries a certain risk of transfusion-related infections or organ damage. Therefore, initiating red blood cell infusion requires more evidence. This review discusses some new methods, namely central venous oxygen saturation, arterial venous oxygen difference, near-infrared spectroscopy, and perioperative transfusion trigger score. It aims to help evaluate blood transfusion trigger and provide reference for doctors when making transfusion decisions.
