ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of oxycodone versus sufentanil for postoperative analgesia in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea （OSA） undergoing uvulopalatopharyngoplasty （UPPP）. MethodsWe enrolled 73 consecutive patients with moderate-to-severe OSA （confirmed by polysomnography） scheduled for elective UPPP under general anesthesia at our institution between August 2023 and August 2025. Patients were randomly assigned to receive oxycodone （n = 37） or sufentanil （n = 36） using a random number table . The sufentanil group received 1.5 μg per kilogram of body weight， and the oxycodone group received 0.9 mg per kilogram； both groups used patient-controlled intravenous analgesia （PCIA） pumps with a total volume of 100 mL. A 2 mL loading dose was administered 10 minutes before the end of surgery， followed by a background infusion of 2 mL per hour， 2 mL bolus doses on demand， an 8-minute lockout interval， and a maximum hourly volume of 10 mL. We assessed pain scores （Numerical Rating Scale） at rest and during swallowing， Ramsay sedation scores， morphine-equivalent opioid consumption， PCIA bolus demands， patient satisfaction， time to first oral intake， and adverse events （including respiratory depression， nausea， and vomiting） at 4， 12， 24， and 48 hours postoperatively. ResultsBaseline characteristics were well balanced between the two groups （all P＞0.05）. No significant between-group differences were observed in resting and swallowing NRS scores or Ramsay sedation scores at each postoperative time point， PCIA satisfaction， time to first oral intake， or adverse event incidence across all postoperative time points （all P＞0.05）. Morphine-equivalent opioid consumption was significantly lower in the oxycodone group at all time points， as were unsuccessful PCIA bolus demands at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively （both P＜0.05）. ConclusionsLow-dose oxycodone provided analgesic efficacy similar to that of sufentanil for PCIA after UPPP in patients with moderate-to-severe OSA， with no significant between-group differences in adverse events， time to first oral intake， or satisfaction .The oxycodone group had numerically lower adverse event rates and a shorter time to first oral intake， suggesting a favorable safety profile and potential benefits for reducing opioid-related events and facilitating earlier recovery in this patient population.

OBJECTIVE To establish a core competency evaluation system for drug clinical trial quality management personnel in China and validate its application. METHODS Based on the scope of work， responsibilities， and role positioning of quality management personnel in drug clinical trials， a preliminary draft of the core competency evaluation system was constructed through literature analysis and expert consultation. The draft was refined through a Delphi method involving 17 experts who provided feedback and revisions， ultimately forming a complete evaluation system. The developed system was applied to conduct electronic surveys from March to May 2024 among 110 quality management personnel from 38 drug clinical trial institutions， comparing their scores on indicator importance and self-assessed capabilities. RESULTS The response rate of both rounds of questionnaire survey was 100%， with Kendall’s W coefficients of 0.256 and 0.277 （P＜0.001 for both）， and an expert authority coefficient of 0.946. The finalized evaluation system for core competencies of clinical trial quality management personnel comprised 9 primary indicators， covering individual professional competence， communication skills， implementation condition verification， informed consent process review， clinical trial execution monitoring， adverse event disposal， reporting and documentation， trial record examination， trial report auditing， and inspection of other tasks， and 107 secondary indicators. Empirical research revealed significant discrepancies between importance scores and self-assessed competency scores across 70 indicators among 110 respondents （P＜0.05）. Indicators with relatively notable gaps between importance scores and self-assessed competency scores included in-depth understanding of Good Clinical Practice （GCP） requirements （0.34-point gap）， familiarity with national and institutional clinical trial inspection priorities （0.24-point gap），etc. CONCLUSIONS The indicator system constructed in this study has good scientificity and reliability. Clinical trial quality management personnel demonstrate deficiencies in multiple critical competencies， highlighting the urgent need for targeted training programs to enhance their overall professional capabilities.

Objective:To construct an integrated early rehabilitation program for healthcare and rehabilitation system based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model and evaluate its application effect in patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods:Construction of the rehabilitation program: An integrated research team was established, composed of head burse of orthopedics, orthopedic nursing specialists, orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and rehabilitation therapists. Considering the key points of perioperative early rehabilitation of THA patients, an integrated early rehabilitation program was constructed based on the IMB model through literature review and expert panel method. Clinical application of the rehabilitation program: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 100 THA patients admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital from March to December 2023, including 47 males and 53 females, aged 60-85 years [(69.8±5.5)years]. Patients were divided into two groups according to their admission time: 50 patients admitted from March to July 2023, receiving routine care (routine care group) and 50 admitted from August to December 2023, receiving intervention through an early rehabilitation program of an integrated healthcare and rehabilitation system based on routine care (integrated care group). The first postoperative ambulation time and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The Harris hip function score was used to assess hip function in both groups at 3 days, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively; the Barthel index was used to assess the daily living self-care capacity in both groups preoperatively, at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. The incidence of complications within 6 months after surgery was compared between the two groups.Results:An early integrated rehabilitation program based on the IMB model comprised 25 specific measures of three domains: information support, motivational intervention, and behavioral skills. All the patients were followed up for 6 months. The first postoperative ambulation time and length of hospital stay in the integrated care group were (1.3±0.5)days and (7.4±2.3)days, shorter than (1.5±0.5)days and (8.5±2.3)days in the routine care group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the Harris hip function scores at 3 days postoperatively or preoperative Barthel index between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, the Harris hip function scores in the integrated care group were (80.3±6.0)points, (88.6±5.2)points, and (92.5±4.1)points, respectively, higher than (75.1±6.3)points, (84.2±5.7)points, and (88.0±5.2)points in the routine care group ( P<0.01); the Barthel index in the integrated care group were (79.2±8.7)points, (87.7±5.7)points, and (92.3±4.9)points, respectively, higher than (72.1±9.0)points, (83.5±6.6)points, and (88.6±5.0)points in the routine care group ( P<0.01). At 6 months postoperatively, the incidence of complications in the integrated care group was 4% (2/50), lower than 16% (8/50) in the routine care group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the routine care, an integrated early rehabilitation program for medical care and health based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills model for THA patients can shorten the first postoperative ambulation time and length of hospital stay, restore hip joint function, improve daily living self-care capacity and reduce the incidence of complications.

To better promote the development of film-coated formulations and membrane agents, the present study was carried out to investigate the critical material attributes (CMAs) of different sources and models of HPMC in terms of film-coating performance and the correlation between each of the CMAs and the film-coating-related properties, using 2910 HPMC as the research target. Firstly, various analytical techniques were used to characterize the CMAs and film coating-related properties of HPMC. Secondly, the CMAs and film coating-related properties of HPMC were systematically evaluated by principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA). The CMAs and film-coating-related properties of HPMC were systematically evaluated to elucidate the intrinsic relationship between the CMAs and film-coating-related properties of HPMC. The results showed that there were significant differences in viscosity, weight-average molecular weight, film tensile strength, elongation, elastic modulus, dissolution time, and flexibility of HPMCs from different manufacturers. The results of PCA and OPLS-DA analyses indicated that these 11 variables showed some correlations with each other. Both mathematical models showed better differentiation and classification of HPMC samples, and the OPLS-DA model had a better classification effect than the PCA model. Therefore, in this study, the physicochemical properties and the film-forming characteristic of HPMC were comprehensively evaluated, and the correlation between them was further established using PCA and OPLS-DA. The impact degree of different CMAs on the film coating performance of HPMC was clarified, which can be used as an important reference for the selection of excipient quality control programs in excipient production and formulation research and development.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcome of Robot-assisted sacroiliac screw fixation in the treatment of fragility fracture of the sacrum in the elderly.Methods:From March 2016 to June 2022, a retrospective analysis was performed on 30 patients with fragility fractures of the sacrum in the elderly who accepted robot-assisted sacroiliac screw to treat fragility fractures of the sacrum in our hospital. There were 12 males and 18 females with average age 71.03±8.25 years (range, 60-89 years). According to the classification of fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) in the elderly, there were 22 patients with FFP II, 2 patients with FFP III, and 6 patients with FFP IV. Surgical planning was based on the average CT value of S 1 channel and whether there is a transsacral screw channel. Robot-assisted sacroiliac screw fixation was performed during surgery. The pain of pre-operation and post-operation was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS), the position of sacroiliac screws was evaluated by Gras grading, and the degree of functional recovery after surgery was evaluated using the Majeed function score. Results:All 30 patients successfully completed the operation. The mean operation time was 27.00±6.68 min (range, 18-35 min), the mean fluoroscopy times were 27.13±5.16 (range, 18-34), and the mean blood loss was 30.53±6.61 ml (range, 23-38 ml). All patients were followed up, and the mean follow-up time was 19.03±7.8 months (range, 8-25 months). The VAS was 5(5, 6), 4(3, 4), 3(2, 3), 0(0, 1) points before surgery, 1 week, 2 months and 6 months after surgery, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( H=103.26, P<0.001). After the surgery of 2 months, 6 months and the last follow-up time, the Majeed function scores were 88(83, 90), 91(87, 92), 92(90, 93) points, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( H=19.59, P<0.001). Screw position was evaluated according to Gras grading at 3 days after surgery, including 28 cases of level I, 2 cases of level II, and no screw penetrated the cortical bone or entered the sacral canal or sacral foramen. No vascular or nerve injury occured during the operation. 28 patients with FFS met the fracture healing criteria, and the healing time was 4.54±1.57 months (range, 3-7 months). Two patients had bone nonunion, one of whom underwent anterior ring plate removal due to infection of the pelvic anterior wound, and one month later, pelvic CT scan revealed loosening of the sacroiliac screw; the other one is considered to be related to too early weight bearing. Conclusion:For fragility fractures of the sacrum in elderly, Robot-assisted sacroiliac screw is an effective minimally invasive treatment, with high accuracy of screw placement, effective pain reduction, improved fracture healing rate, and achieve the satisfactory clinical efficacy.
