Annexin A3（ANXA3）is a member of the membrane associated protein family. It has two subtypes of 36 kDa and 33 kDa. Its gene is located on the fourth chromosome of human. ANXA3, widely expressed in human bone marrow, lung, placenta, prostate and thyroid, is closely related to several biological processes such as exoplasmosis, vascular production, fat cell maturity, and white blood cell migration. Studies have found that ANXA3 is abnormally expressed in various diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease and inflammation. It can regulate multiple signaling pathways such as JNK, NF-κB, PI3K/AKT, and may become a potential drug target for treatment of related diseases. The structure, functions, the link with diseases and related mechanisms of ANXA3 were summarized in this paper, which could provide reference for ANXA3 related research.

Thoracic anesthesia with spontaneous respiration represents a form of precision anesthesia meticulously customized to individual patients.Considering the more stringent requirements this anesthesia approach imposes on the regulation of respiratory function,the writing group of the"Consensus of Experts on the Management of Thoracic Anesthesia with Spontaneous Respiration"has formulated elaborate guidelines regarding indications and contraindications,preoperative evaluation,anesthesia implementation,common complications,and treatment strategies.This was accomplished by referencing relevant domestic and international literature and integrating it with actual clinical requirements.The objective is to standardize the rational application of this anesthesia method.

Objective     To investigate the effect of intravenous analgesia with a wireless or traditional analgesia pump system in thoracoscopic lung resection. Methods     Patients who used the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia after thoracoscopic lung resection between June 2016 and June 2021 were enrolled in the study. They were allocated into a wireless pump group (a ZigBee-based wireless analgesia pump system collecting data automatically) and a traditional analgesia pump group. Perioperative analgesia management followed the routine standard operation protocol of Shanghai Chest Hospital. The patients’ numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) scores were collected for analysis from the Anesthesia Information Record System. The incidence of postoperative analgesia insufficiency (defined as NRS≥4 points) within 48 h, the incidence of PONV within 24 h, and the 48 h completion rate of analgesia pump infusion were compared. Results    A total of 59 431 patients were collected, including 24 855 males and 34 576 females, 17 209 patients in the wireless pump group, and 42 222 patients in the traditional analgesia pump group. The incidence of analgesia insufficiency within 48 h after operation (3.75% vs. 4.98%, P=0.007), the incidence of PONV within 24 h after operation (13.60% vs. 16.70%, P=0.030) in the wireless pump group were lower than those in the traditional analgesia pump group. The 48 h completion rate of analgesia pump infusion in the wireless pump group was higher than that in the traditional analgesia pump group (83.40% vs. 71.90%, P<0.001). The wireless pump group could monitor the pressing times and use of the analgesia pump, while the traditional analgesia pump group could not record the relevant data. Conclusion    Compared with the traditional analgesia pump, the wireless analgesia management system may be convenient for timely, accurate and individualized management, and has good analgesic effect and low incidence of adverse reactions, and may be more suitable for perioperative analgesia management.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between cognitive function and living ability of older adult patients living in a mining community.Methods:A total of 180 older adult patients living in a mining community who received treatment during July-October 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into the low-age group (< 68 years old, n = 94) and the high-age group (≥ 68 years old, n = 86). Cognitive function and living ability were evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and the Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL). The relationship between cognitive function and living ability was investigated using hierarchical analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:The proportions of older adult patients with abnormal cognitive function identified by the MMSE and MoCA were 39.4% and 66.0%, respectively in the low-age group, and they were 32.6% and 61.6%, respectively in the high-age group. The MoCA had a greater performance in identifying abnormal cognitive function in each group than the MMSE ( χ2 = 26.69, 10.18, both P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in proportions of older adult patients with abnormal cognitive function identified by the MMSE and MoCA between low-age and high-age groups ( χ2 = 0.90, 0.36, both P > 0.05). The proportion of older adult patients with abnormal living ability was not significantly different between low-age and high-age groups (4.3% vs. 10.5%, χ2 = 2.58, P > 0.05). Compared with patients negative for MMSE items, living ability and instrumental activity of daily living increased by 7.0% and 9.4% in low-age patients positive for MMSE items (both P < 0.05). Compared with patients negative for MoCA items, living ability increased by 3.5% in low-age patients positive for MoCA items ( P < 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed that total scores of MMSE and MoCA were significantly negatively correlated with ADL score ( r = -0.26, -0.27, both P < 0.001) and instrumental activity of daily living score ( r = -0.27, -0.27, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Cognitive function and living ability are correlated in older adult patients living in a mining community. We should pay attention to the screening results of cognitive disorder in older adult patients and improve their living ability by improving their cognitive function.

Objective:To investigate the characteristic of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the adults aged 48 years and over in a coal mine community, and to analyze its associated risk factors.Methods:From July to October 2019, a questionnaire survey for basic information was conducted among 180 middle-aged and elderly adults who met the inclusion criteria in the Datong coal mine community. The cognitive function was evaluated by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The effects of gender, age, years of education, sleep, living alone, physical exercise, social activities, smoking and drinking status, body mass index and chronic diseases on cognitive level were analyzed by single factor stratification and multiple linear regression.Results:There was no significant difference in the positive rate of MCI screened by MMSE and MoCA in the age groups of 48-<64, 64-<72 and 72-90 (original and corrected P>0.05); The positive rate of MCI in MoCA screening (64.4%, 66.7%, 60.9%) was significantly higher than that in MMSE (35.6%, 45.6%, 28.1%) (all P<0.05); MMSE was positively correlated with MoCA score ( r=0.762, P<0.001). With the increase of age, the scores of memory, execution and visual space detected by MoCA decreased significantly (all P<0.05), while the scores of attention, language and orientation did not change significantly (all P>0.05). Univariate stratification showed that the significant influencing factors of MMSE or MoCA scores were gender, age, years of education and sleep status (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender ( βMMSE=-0.192; βMoCA=-0.140), years of education ( βMMSE=0.209; βMoCA=0.328) and sleep status( βMMSE=-0.162; βMoCA=-0.136) were risk factors affecting MMSE and MoCA scores ( P<0.05). Conclusions:More middle-aged and elderly adults with MCI might be observed in a coal mine community, and the main characteristics of MCI are impaired memory, executive function and visual space. To prevent and reduce the occurrence of dementia, early interventions of MCI should be carried out among the adults with female, old age, low years of education and poor sleep quality.

Objective:To investigate the dose of intravenously infused cisatracurium for the maintenance of deep neuromuscular blockade during thoracic surgery.Methods:Patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, aged 18-64 yr, scheduled for elective thoracic surgery under general anesthesia, were studied.The patients were connected to a muscle relaxation monitor after entering the operating room.After the completion of muscle relaxant calibration and anesthesia induction, cisatracurium was intravenously infused at a constant rate to maintain deep neuromuscular blockade (post-tetanic count [PTC]≤5 ). The infusion rate was calculated by modified Dixon up-and-down method.The first patient received cisatracurium at 0.12 mg·kg -1·h -1.If the PTC was 0 or was maintained≤5 continuously, the infusion rate was decreased 0.01 mg·kg -1·h -1 in the next patient, until PTC was >5 during operation.The mean dose for the patient was used as initial dose.Then the infusion rate was increased/decreased by 0.005 mg·kg -1·h -1.The 95% effective dose of cisatracurium (ED 95) was the median of 6 thresholds. Results:A total of 22 cases completed the study.The ED 95 of continuous intravenous infusion of cisatracurium for the maintenance of deep neuromuscular blockade was 0.108 mg·kg -1·h -1(95% confidence interval 0.105-0.125 mg·kg -1·h -1). Conclusion:The dose of intravenous infusion of cisatracurium for the maintenance of deep neuromuscular blockade during thoracic surgery is 0.108 mg·kg -1·h -1.

Objective To investigate the gestational weight gain and quality of life in women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) who used Free-Style Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System. Methods From August of 2017 to January of 2019, the GDM patients diagnosed in the Department of Endocrinology in 3 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Guangzhou were selected and divided into the observation group(n=39) and control group(n=43) according to their glucose monitoring willingness. The Free-Style Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System was used for the observation group(sensor changed every 14 days) combined with the fingertip blood glucose monitor, it was necessary to monitor fingertip blood glucose contrast when hypoglycemia was identified by sensors. Pregnant women at other monitoring points could selectively monitor fasting and postprandial blood glucose. In the control group, after assigned into the group patients only monitored their fingertip blood glucose(at lease 2 times/d, including fasting and 2h postprandial blood glucose). The two groups were all instructed by self-management on diet, exercise etc according to the result of blood glucose monitor, the Wechat management was included to instruct them of the daily life diary recording method. World Health Organization-5 Well-Being Index (WHO-5) was adopted at the beginning of the study and the second week of follow-up to investigate the well-being index score of the patients in the two groups; at the end of pregnancy, the average perinatal blood sugar level, incidence of hypoglycemia events and the eligible rate of weight gain in different BMI patients were recorded. Results At the 2nd week, the score of well-being index in the observation group was higher than that in the control group with statistical significance(P=0.037).There was no statistically significant difference in fasting and 2 h postprandial glucose between the two groups (P＞0.05). There was no significant difference in blood sugar control (fasting and 2 hours after meal) between the two groups (P＞0.05), but the detection rate of hypoglycemia in the group using Free-style Libre glucose monitoring system was higher than that in the control group (P=0.042). By the end of pregnancy, stratified analysis showed that the qualified rate of weight gain in the observation group with BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m2 before pregnancy was higher than that in the control group with statistical significance(P=0.035). Conclusions The use of Free- Style Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System in GDM patients makes gestational weight control more reasonable and painless, and improves the well-being index of patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of epidural block on postoperative long-term quality of life in patients undergoing radical operation for lung cancer under general anesthesia. Methods A total of 348 patients with primary non-small cell lung cancer of both sexes, aged 18-80 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ-Ⅲ, with body mass index of 18-30 kg∕m2, with International Associa-tion for the Study of Lung Cancer staging criteria stage 1-2, scheduled for elective radical operation for lung cancer under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n＝174 each) using a random number table method: general anesthesia plus patient-controlled intravenous analgesia ( PCIA) group ( group G) and general anesthesia plus epidural anesthesia plus patient-controlled epidural analgesia group ( group GE). Anesthesia was induced by target-controlled infusion of propofol and fentanyl and intravenous injection of rocuronium. The patients were tracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated to maintain the end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide at 30-40 mmHg. Anesthesia was maintained by target-controlled infusion of propofol and intravenous injection of remifentanil. An increment of fentanyl was given immediately after chest opening and closing, and cisatracurium besylate was injected intravenously. In group GE, 0. 375%ropivacaine was epidurally injected in a initial dose of 5-8 ml followed by continuous epidural infusion at 5 ml∕h, and infusion was stopped before closing the chest. Bispectral index value was maintained at 40-60 during operation. PCIA was performed at the end of operation with fentanyl, flurbiprofen, ramosetron or palonosetron hydrochloride, and the PCA pump was set up with a 0. 5 ml bolus dose, a 15-min lockout in-terval and background infusion at a rate of 2 ml∕h in group G. Patient-controlled epidural analgesia was per-formed with 0. 15%-0. 18% ropivacaine 250 ml, and the PCA pump was set up to deliver 2-3 ml bolus dose with a 20-min lockout interval and background infusion at 4-5 ml∕h in group GE. Postoperative analge-sia was performed until 48 h after operation in both groups. Patients were followed up by telephone at half a year and 1 and 2 yr after operation. The 12-item short-form scale was used to evaluate the quality of life. Physical component summary (PCS-12) and mental component summary (MCS-12) scores were calculated. Results PCS-12 and MCS-12 scores were significantly lower at 2 yr after operation than at half a year in both groups (P＜0. 05). Compared with group G, PCS-12 and MCS-12 scores were significantly increased at 2 yr after operation in group GE (P＜0. 05). Conclusion Compared with general anesthesia alone, epi-dural block provides better effect on postoperative long-term quality of life in patients undergoing radical op-eration for lung cancer under general anesthesia.

Objective To compare the development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgery using different anesthetic methods in a large sample clinical trial.Methods A total of 1 380 patients of both sexes,aged 60-80 yr,with body mass index of 16-33 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective radical operations for lung or esophageal cancer,were divided into 3 groups (n =460 each) using a random number table:general anesthesia group (group G),general anesthesia combined with paravertebral block group (group GP),and general anesthesia combined with epidural block group (group GE).After induction of anesthesia,an epidural catheter was placed at T4-7 interspace on the operated side,and 0.375％ ropivacaine 8 ml was administrated via the catheter in group GP.After induction of anesthesia,the patients were tracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated,and the end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide was maintained at 35-45 mmHg in the 3 groups.Maintenance of anesthesia was as follows:propofol was given by target-controlled infusion with the target plasma concentration of 2.5-4.0 μg/ml in the 3 groups;intermittent iv boluses of sufentanil 10 μg were given,and the total dosage was not expected to exceed 1.0 μg/kg in group G;sufentanil 10 μg was injected intravenously when necessary in group GP;0.25％ ropivacaine 5 ml was injected epidurally every 1.5 h in group GE;bispectral index value was maintained at 40-60;rocuronium was injected intravenously according to the condition in the 3 groups.The development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation was recorded.Results The incidence of intraoperative atrial fibrillation was 6.1％,3.7％ and 2.2％ in G,GP and GE groups,respectively.Compared with group G,the incidence of intraoperative atrial fibrillation was significantly decreased in group GE (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the incidence of intraoperative atrial fibrillation in group GP (P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with general anesthesia,general anesthesia combined with epidural block can decrease the development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation,it is more suitable for this type of patients,however,general anesthesia combined with paravertebral block produces no improvement in the development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
