Background: The effects of perioperative ketamine and esketamine on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify their impact on PONV and related adverse events. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing ketamine or esketamine with control agents. The primary outcome was a pooled analysis of PONV and nausea-only data. PONV, postoperative nausea (PON), and postoperative vomiting (POV) were also analyzed separately. Subgroup analyses were conducted by comparator type (placebo, opioid, or non-opioid) and dose categories. Meta-regression was used to assess dose-response relationships. Results: Fifty-five studies (n = 6676) were included. Ketamine and esketamine did not significantly reduce the incidence of pooled PONV risk (risk ratio [RR]: 0.95, 95% CI [0.87–1.04], P = 0.274). No benefit was found versus placebo. Compared with opioids, PONV was reduced (RR = 0.50, 95% CI [0.32–0.77], P = 0.002), but not in the pooled analysis (RR = 0.69, 95% CI [0.43–1.08], P = 0.107). Conversely, compared with non-opioid controls, ketamine/esketamine increased the pooled PONV risk (RR = 1.46, 95% CI [1.03–2.05], P = 0.032). No significant dose-response relationship was found. Both agents increased hallucinations (RR = 1.73, 95% CI [1.35–2.20], P = 0.0002) and drowsiness (RR = 2.18, 95% CI [1.13–4.21], P = 0.024). Conclusions Ketamine and esketamine did not significantly reduce PONV overall. While they showed benefits compared with opioid-based regimens, they may be less effective than non-opioid adjuvants. However, their neuropsychiatric and sedative risks warrant cautious use.

Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

Objective To propose a brain electrical phase prediction method based on long short-term memory network(LSTM)to improve the accuracy and robustness of phase synchronization prediction in transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS).Methods First,an LSTM consisting of an input layer,an LSTM layer,an ReLU activation layer,a fully connected layer and a regression layer was constructed to capture the EEG signal features through the synergistic action of input gates,forgetting gates and output gates.Second,eye-open resting-state EEG data from 30 healthy subjects were trained using the LSTM to obtain a predictive model for EEG signal and EEG phase prediction.Finally,the LSTM method and the traditional autoregressive(AR)method were compared in terms of the phase prediction errors at the overall and individual levels and the prediction performance for peaks and troughs.A regression model was used to explore the relationships between instantaneous EEG amplitude,signal-to-noise ratio and phase prediction error with the LSTM method.Results The LSTM method achieved a total phase prediction error of 0.04°±5.69°,which was lower than that of the traditional AR method(-3.36°±51.13°).For each subject,the LSTM method demonstrated superior phase prediction accuracy compared to the traditional AR method(P＜0.001).The accuracy for predicting peaks(troughs)by the LSTM method(about 89％)was higher than that by the traditional AR method(about 10％).Unlike the traditional AR method,the LSTM method didnot result in linear relationships between instantaneous EEG amplitude,signal-to-noise ratio and phase prediction error,with Pvalues being 0.58 and 0.18,respectively.Conclusion The LSTM-based brain electrical phase prediction method shows high accuracy and robustness when used for EEG phase-synchronized TMS.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(3):1-8]

Objective To develop and validate a transgenic mouse model enabling specific and inducible optogenetic activation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells(OPCs).Methods A conditional allele for the photosensitive opsin chicken opsin 5(cOpn5)(Rosa26-LSL-cOpn5)was generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.These mice were subsequently crossed with NG2-CreERT transgenic mice to produce NG2-CreERT;cOpn5 animals.In this model,tamoxifen administration induces Cre-mediated recombination,leading to specific expression of cOpn5 in NG2-positive OPCs.The specificity and efficiency of cOpn5 expression in OPCs were confirmed by immunofluorescent staining.Functional validation of light-induced OPC activation was performed by using calcium imaging in acute brain slices after stimulation with 470 nm blue light.Results Immunofluorescence analysis confirmed robust and specific expression of cOpn5 within NG2-positive OPCs in the brains of tamoxifen-treated NG2-CreERT;cOpn5 mice.Crucially,calcium imaging of acute brain slices from these mice demonstrated a significant increase in intracellular calcium levels in cOpn5-expressing OPCs upon stimulation with 470 nm blue light,indicating successful optogenetic activation.Conclusion We have successfully generated and validated a novel transgenic mouse model(NG2-CreERT;cOpn5)that permits specific and inducible optogenetic activation of OPCs.This model provides a novel tool for subsequent in vivo studies of the role and regulating mechanisms of OPCs in the central nervous system.

Objective To investigate the expression of NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase family member 2(NSUN2)and protein arginine methyltransferase 5(PRMT5)in retinoblastoma(Rb)tissue and their correlation with the survival prognosis of Rb patients.Methods From February 2019 to February 2021,84 patients with Rb(Rb group)were selected from Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University Nanchong Hospital,and 50 normal retinal tissues were used as control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the levels of NSUN2 mRNA and PRMT5 mRNA in retinal tissues.Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the effect of NSUN2 mRNA and PRMT5 mRNA on the prognosis of Rb patients.COX regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of Rb.Results The expression of NSUN2 mRNA(3.11±0.42)and PRMT5 mRNA(2.84±0.39)in Rb cancer tissues were higher than that in the control group(0.80±0.23,0.76±0.20),and the differences were statistically significant(t=35.935,35.033,all P<0.001).The expression of NSUN2 mRNA and PRMT5 mRNA in Rb cancer tissues with tumor diameter≥20mm,undifferentiated and ⅡRC stage D～E were higher than that in tumor diameter<20mm,differentiated tissues and ⅡRC stage A～C cancer tissues,and the differences were statistically significant(t=18.297,141.770,16.693;18.663,139.144,39.947,均P<0.001).The 3-year progression-free survival rate in the high expression group of NSUN2 mRNA was lower than that in the low expression group(60.00%vs 88.64%).The 3-year progression-free survival rate in the high expression group of PRMT5 mRNA was lower than that in the low expression group(56.10%vs 93.02%)(Log rank χ2=13.440,19.501,all P<0.001).Undifferentiated type,ⅡRC stage D-E stage,NSUN2 mRNA high,PRMT5 mRNA high were risk factors affecting the prognosis of Rb patients(Waldχ2=5.923～7.161,all P<0.001).Conclusion The expression of NSUN2 mRNA and PRMT5 mRNA in Rb tissues is increased,which is related to the maximum diameter of tumor,pathological classification and ⅡRC stage,and can be used as a tumor marker to evaluate the survival prognosis of Rb.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical efficacy of Suyin Jiedu Prescription in the treatment of Stage 3-5 non-dialysis chronic kidney disease of kidney deficiency and turbid toxin type and its effect on serum Klotho and inflammation levels.METHODS A total of 102 patients with Stage 3-5 non-dialysis chronic kidney disease of kidney deficiency and turbid toxin type who met the inclu-sion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,51 cases in each group;a total of 84 cases were comple-ted,including 44 cases in the control group and 40 cases in the treatment group.The control group was given conventional Western medicine basic treatment,and the treatment group was given Suyin Jiedu Prescription on the basis of the control group treatment.The treatment course of both groups was 16 weeks.The levels of renal function indexes[hemoglobin(Hb),serum albumin(Alb),urea ni-trogen(BUN),serum creatinine(Scr),estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),24 h urine protein(UTP)]and TCM syndrome scores were observed in the two groups before and after treatment.The levels of serum Klotho,tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)and interleukin 18(IL-18)were detected by ELISA.The clinical efficacy between the two groups after treatment was compared.RE-SULTS After treatment,BUN and Scr levels of the two groups of patients were significantly decreased(P<0.05),eGFR was signifi-cantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),the treatment group was better than the control group(P<0.05);the TCM syndrome scores of the two groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the treatment group was better than the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01);the serum Klotho level in the treatment group was significantly increased(P<0.05),the IL-18 level was significantly de-creased(P<0.01),and the serum Klotho,TNF-α,and IL-18 levels in the treatment group were better than those in the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).The total clinical effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.01).CONCLUSION Suyin Jiedu Prescription can effectively improve renal function and relieve clinical symptoms in patients with Stage 3-5 non-dialysis chronic kidney disease of kidney deficiency and turbid toxin type,which may be related to increasing Klotho level and reducing inflammation in the body.

To investigate the phenotype and genomic characterization of a mucoid-type Salmonella Saintpaul ST50 isolate from a urinary tract infection patient,promoting clinical diagnosis and treatment for urinary tract infections caused by Salmo-nella spp.Culture-based quantitative counts of midstream urine sample from the patient were conducted,and further biochemi-cal identification,mass spectrometry detection,serum agglutination test and antimicrobial susceptibility test(AST)were con-ducted on Salmonella isolate(2024JD5).Whole-genome sequencing(WGS)was performed on isolate 2024JD5 to predict sero-type,multilocus sequence type(MLST),resistance genes,and virulence genes.Two smooth-type of Salmonella Saintpaul ST50 were selected as comparative genomic reference strains from the Chinese local Salmonella genome database.The literature reviews of global Salmonella serotype of urinary tract infection were summarized.Specific serum agglutination confir-mation of isolate 2024JD5 failed due to characterization of the mucus type.The strain 2024JD5 was predicted as Salmonella Saintpaul(4,5,12:e,h:1,2)ST50 using WGS,and was resistant to ciprofloxacin,nalidixic acid,chloramphenicol and tetracy-cline with carrying aminoglycoside resistance genes aac(6')-Ⅰaa and aph(3)-Ⅱa,chloramphenicol resistance gene floR,tetra-cycline resistance gene tet,quinolone resistance gene qnrS1,and S83Y substitution in the gyrA gene was found in the quinolo-ne resistance determination region(QRDR).In addition,the strain 2024JD4 carried six types of non-plasmid-based mobile ge-netic elements and 144 virulence genes,including 71 secretion transporter genes and 58 fimbriae adhesion genes,respectively.Four types of fimbriae regulatory genes(csgB,csgC,fimW,fimY)were absent in comparison with smooth-type Salmonella Saintpaul.The literature reviews showed Salmonella Saintpaul was currently a rare Salmonella serotype in cases of urinary tract infections worldwide.Salmonella Saintpaul ST50 with mucoid-type is the pathogen of urinary tract infection with multi-drug resistant phenotypic and genotypic characteristics,and the high mucoid expression may be related to the compensatory mechanism of fimbriae regulatory genes absence in urinary tract colonization and adaptation.WGS combined with the Chinese local Salmonella genome database can effectively solve the diagnosis and biosafety assessments of rare Salmonella phenotypes.

[Purpose]To analyze the compliance of liver cancer clinical screening and related in-fluencing factors in Inner Mongolia from 2016 to 2018.[Methods]The liver cancer screening pro-gram was conducted among permanent residents aged 40～74 years old in Inner Mongolia from 2016 to 2018.The risk factor assessment questionnaire was used for primary screening,and the identified high-risk subjects of liver cancer were subject to undergo clinical screening including ul-trasound examination and serum AFP test.The clinical screening rate of high-risk subjects and de-tection rate were calculated and compared among different groups.Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze influencing factors related to the clinical screening rate of liver cancer.[Results]A total of 70 109 residents completed questionnaires risk assessments from 2016 to 2018,and 11 211 subjects were identified as high-risk of liver cancer with the high-risk rate of 15.99％.Among 11 211 high-risk subjects,4 998 underwent clinical screening with a screening rate of 44.58％.There were 125 cases of AFP positive(2.50％),11 cases of occupying lesions in the liver(0.22％),6 cases of cirrhosis(0.12％),and 2 303 cases of fatty liver(46.08％).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female,age of 45～54 years old,Mongolians and other ethnic minorities,individuals with vegetables intake＜2.5 kg/week and ≥2.5 kg/week,high-fat diet,history of smoking,smoking,alcohol drinking,history of tea-drinking,history of psychologi-cal trauma and stress in recent years,diseases of hepatobiliary system,and chronic hepatitis B were more likely to participate in clinical screening(all P＜0.05).[Conclusion]The screening com-pliance of high-risk population for liver cancer is low but the detection rate is high in Inner Mongo-lia from 2016 to 2018.The program mechanism should be improved to increase the liver cancer screening compliance.
