OBJECTIVE To explore the efficacy and safety of different doses of bupivacaine liposome （referred to as “LB”） in posterior quadratus lumborum block （QLB） for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing cesarean section （CS）. METHODS In prospective research method， a total of 168 patients undergoing CS admitted to Chongzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from June to December 2024 were randomly divided into LB1 group， LB2 group， and LB3 group （LB of 199， 133 and 67 mg， respectively） according to the random number sorting method， with 56 cases in each group. All patients underwent CS after combined spinal-epidural anesthesia， and received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia and bilateral posterior QLB with different doses of LB after the operation. Visual analogue scale score， Ramsay sedation score， the presence of postoperative block planes and muscle strength classification were observed in the three groups of patients at 6， 12， 24， 48 and 72 hours after the operation. The time of the first compression of the analgesic pump， the dosage of sufentanil and butorphanol within 72 hours after surgery， the number of compressions of the analgesic pump， the analgesic rescue rate， the time of initiating lactation， the score of neonatal behavioral neurological assessment （NBNA）， the time of postoperative exhaust， the indwelling time of urinary catheter， the length of hospital stay， and the total satisfaction at 72 hours after surgery were compared. The occurrence of adverse reactions within 72 hours after the operation was recorded. RESULTS The resting and motor pain scores， the dosage of sufentanil and butorphanol within 72 hours after surgery， the number of compressions of the analgesic pump， the analgesic rescue rate， and the time of initiating lactation at 6， 12， 24， 48 and 72 hours after surgery in the LB1 group and the LB2 group were significantly lower or shorter than those in the LB3 group（P＜0.05）. The proportion of postoperative block planes at 24， 48 and 72 hours after surgery， the time of the first compression of the analgesic pump and the total satisfaction in the LB1 group and the LB2 group were significantly higher or longer than those in the LB3 group（P＜0.05）. The proportion of patients with muscle strength≤grade 3 at 6 hours after surgery in the LB1 group was significantly higher than that in the LB2 and the LB3 groups （P＜0.05）. There were no statistically significant differences in the Ramsay sedation scores at each time point after surgery， NBNA scores， postoperative exhaust time， urinary catheter indwelling time， the length of hospital stay， as well as the occurrence of adverse reactions among the 3 groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compared with 67 mg of LB， 199 mg and 133 mg of LB can improve the postoperative analgesic effect and total satisfaction of CS patients undergoing posterior QLB， reduce the use of postoperative analgesic drugs， and shorten the time to start lactation. Compared with 199 mg and 133 mg of LB， 67 mg of LB has a smaller impact on the motor function of CS patients. All three doses of LB had no significant effect on the neurobehavioral abilities of newborns, and demonstrated comparable sedative efficacy and safety.

Background::Psychological stress has been reported to be a potential risk factor for hypertension among females, but it remains unclear whether spousal chronic stress levels alter the risk of hypertension among women. We examined the associations between stress within the family and hypertension among married women.Methods::Reproductive-aged women who were planning for pregnancy and their husbands were recruited from the National Free Pre-pregnancy Checkup Projects (NFPCP) across 31 provinces in China in 2016 and 2017. Perceived stress of wives or husbands was measured with a 5-point Likert-type scale, and assessed from three domains: work/life-related stress, economic stress, and overall stress. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between stress status and the prevalence of hypertension.Results::Of 10,027,644 couples, 261,098 (2.60%) women had hypertension. The results showed that higher stress levels among themselves or their husbands were associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension in women ( Pfor trend <0.001). Compared with non-stressed participants, female participants with the highest stress themselves were at a greater risk of hypertension, with adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-1.37); and compared with participants whose husbands had no stress, those whose husbands had the highest stress level were at a higher risk of hypertension with adjusted OR of 1.24 (95% CI: 1.20-1.29). Moreover, compared with non-stressed status for both couples, only-wife-stressed, only-husband-stressed, and both-stressed couples were found to be significantly associated with increased risks of wives’ hypertension, with adjusted ORs of 1.28 (95% CI: 1.25-1.31), 1.19 (95% CI: 1.17-1.21), and 1.28 (95% CI: 1.26-1.31), respectively. Conclusion::Moderate to severe stress in both spouses might be associated with female hypertension prevalence, which highlights the importance of paying attention to the psychological stresses of couples within the family.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and pathological data of 34 newly diagnosed PTL patients admitted to Beijing Tongren Hospital from September 2010 to February 2023. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis, and the Cox regression model was applied for univariate analysis of prognostic factors.Results:All 34 PTL patients presented with cervical mass as the initial clinical manifestation. There were 9 males and 25 females. The pathological diagnosis was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in 29 patients and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in 5 patients. Among the DLBCL patients, 6 had B symptoms, 17 had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of ≥2, the Ann Arbor staging was stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ in 21 cases and stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ in 8 cases, the tumor diameter was ≥10 cm in 4 cases, and 14 had concurrent Hashimoto thyroiditis; 27 cases received chemotherapy, with 21 cases achieving complete remission (CR), 2 cases partial remission (PR), and 6 cases of disease progression; the 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 78.9% and 77.4%, respectively; univariate survival analysis showed that B symptoms, tumor diameter ≥10 cm, and Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ were significant factors affecting patient prognosis ( P<0.05). MALT lymphoma patients were all in stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ, had an ECOG score of 0-1, and were without B symptoms. All patients underwent surgical resection, with 4 cases achieving CR and 1 case PR. Conclusion:PTL is more common in females with concurrent Hashimoto thyroiditis, with the majority of pathological types being B-cell lymphoma. The main treatment is chemotherapy, supplemented by radiotherapy and surgery, and the prognosis is relatively favorable.

AIM: To understand the current status and differences in visual acuity of children of the same age from different regions of Xi'an, and to take an effective basis for the prevention of children's myopia.METHODS: Random stratified sampling was used to select the uncorrected distance visual acuity and computed dioptric data of 41 285 children aged 6-12 from 6 towns, 10 urban and rural areas and 112 country schools screened by Xi'an Central Hospital in December 2022.RESULTS: The myopia detection rate in different regions of Xi'an is 47.16% in towns, 38.59% in urban and rural areas, and 32.29% in the country, and the total myopia rate is 37.50%. The myopia rate of 6-12 years old in towns is higher than that in urban and rural areas, and that of urban and rural areas is higher than that of country; the myopia rate of girls is higher than that of boys; myopia rate increases with age; mild myopia: the myopia rate in towns is significantly higher than that of the urban and rural areas and the country; high myopia: the myopia rate in the country is significantly higher than that of the towns and the urban and rural areas. The total rate of deficient hyperopia reserves in different regions of Xi'an is 92.08% in towns, 93.67% in urban and rural areas, and 90.92% in the country, and the total rate of deficient hyperopia reserves is 92.09%. The rate of deficient hyperopia reserves at the age of 6-12 is higher in the urban and rural areas than in the towns, and higher in the towns than in the country; the total rate of deficient hyperopia reserve is higher in girls than in boys; it is the peak period of the development of hyperopia reserve rate before the age of 8.CONCLUSION: The total myopia rate and the total vision reserve deficiency rate of 6-12 years old in different regions of Xi'an are different, and 8-9 years old is the accelerated period of myopia development, and the peak of deficient hyperopia reserve is before the age of 8 years old. With the growth of age, the myopia rate shows a certain growth trend, and the rate of deficient hyperopia reserve shows a decreasing trend after reaching the peak. The total myopia rate and insufficient acuity reserve rate of girls are higher than those of boys.

Objective To explore the risk factors of supplementary injection after foam sclerotherapy for varicose veins of lower extremities and its impact on blood coagulation function.Methods A total of 185 patients with varicose veins of lower limbs diagnosed in the First People's Hospital of Zunyi from January 2018 to December 2021 were selected.The corresponding pathological data were collected,and the D-dimer,thrombin time,and fibrinogen level of patients were detected 1 d before and 1 d after the surgery.The postoperative video phone follow-up lasted until 6 months after the surgery.The patients were divided into single treatment group and supple-mentary treatment group according to whether supplementary injection of foam sclerosing agent was needed during the follow-up.Propensity matching on the data between the two groups was conducted,and the correlation between disease course data,coagulation factors,and the occurrence of supplementary injection was analyzed.A time series model for the incidence of supplementary injection was established,and the therapeutic effect and complica-tions were observed.Results After propensity matching,there was still significant difference in the degree of lesion between the two groups(P<0.05).On the first day after surgery,there was significant difference in the D-dimer and fibrinogen groups between the two groups(P<0.05),and but no significant difference in thrombin time(P>0.05).The occurrence of supplementary injection was significantly correlated with D-dimer,fibrinogen,thrombin time,and first-time injection dose(P<0.05),and the incidence of supplementary injection was higher in patients who received first-time injection in January,August,September,and December.Both groups achieved successful treatment 6 months after surgery,and there was no significant difference in the incidence of compli-cations.Conclusion Patients with lower limb varicose veins of C3/C4 are more likely to require supplementary injection compared to patients with other levels.The level of D-dimer and fibrinogen at 1 d after surgery is positively correlated with the occurrence of supplementary injection,while the dose of the first injection is negatively corre-lated with the occurrence of supplementary injection.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupoint pressing acupuncture combined with moxibustion at Baihui acupoint on infantile cold and nasal obstruction caused by exogenous wind and cold. Methods:This study included a total of 120 children with exogenous wind and cold-induced infantile cold and nasal obstruction who were treated at the Jinhua Maternal & Child Health Care Hospital from February 2021 to May 2022. They were divided into three groups using a random number table method, namely the acupoint pressing acupuncture group, the moxibustion group, and the combined therapy group, each containing 40 children. Based on routine treatment, children in the acupoint pressing acupuncture group received acupoint ( Yintang, Shuangyingxiang, Shuangbitong) pressing acupuncture treatment, while those in the moxibustion group underwent mild moxibustion at Baihui acupoint, and those in the combined therapy group underwent acupoint ( Yintang, Shuangyingxiang, Shuangbitong) pressing acupuncture Baihui combined with mild moxibustion at Baihui acupoint. The clinical efficacy of each group was evaluated. At 2, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment, differences in nasal congestion symptom scores were compared among the three groups. Sleep quality was also compared among the three groups before and after treatment. Results:The response rate in the combined therapy group was 92.5% (37/40), which was significantly higher than 75% (30/40) in the acupoint pressing acupuncture group and 65% (26/40) in the moxibustion group ( χ2 = 4.50, 9.04, both P < 0.05). At 2, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment, the nasal congestion symptom score in the combined therapy group was (2.05 ± 0.55) points, (1.80 ± 0.64) points, (1.33 ± 0.59) points, and (0.90 ± 0.18) points, respectively, while it was (2.43 ± 0.59) points, (2.15 ± 0.57) points, (1.73 ± 0.84) points, and (1.18 ± 0.80) points, respectively, in the acupoint pressing acupuncture group, and (2.50 ± 0.59) points, (2.13 ± 0.78) points, (1.88 ± 0.81) points, and (1.45 ± 0.81) points, respectively, in the moxibustion group. At the above-mentioned time points, the nasal congestion symptom score was statistically significant among the three groups ( F = 3.15, 9.27, 16.17, 20.22, all P < 0.05). After treatment, daytime sleep duration and nocturnal sleep duration in the combined therapy group were (3.41 ± 0.31) hours and (12.36 ± 1.17) hours, respectively, which were significantly longer than (2.95 ± 1.07) hours and (11.33 ± 1.38) hours in the acupoint pressing acupuncture group and (2.93 ± 0.98) hours and (11.21 ± 1.93) hours in the moxibustion group ( F = 6.37, 12.31, both P < 0.05). Nocturnal wake time, the number of night wakings, and sleep onset time in the combined therapy group were (18.74 ± 2.21) minutes, (1.64 ± 0.18) times, and (15.43 ± 2.03) minutes, respectively, which were significantly shorter or less than (21.13 ± 3.78) minutes, (2.15 ± 0.66) times, and (17.63 ± 5.24) minutes in the acupoint pressing acupuncture group, and (20.53 ± 2.90) minutes, (2.11 ± 0.32) times, and (17.22 ± 2.88) minutes in the moxibustion group ( F = 15.93, 15.36, 10.11, all P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in sleep quality score among the three groups ( F = 23.45, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The combination of acupoint pressing acupuncture and moxibustion at Baihui acupoint is highly effective against infantile cold and nasal obstruction caused by exogenous wind and cold. The combined therapy can alleviate the symptoms of nasal congestion in children and improve sleep quality.

Opioid analgesics are currently known as the best analgesics. However， toxicity and side effects such as constipation， tolerance and addiction severely limit their clinical application. With the in-depth understanding of the signal transduction mechanism of opioid receptors and the continuous advancement of drug design technology， researchers have managed to develop many promising new methods to get low-toxic and more efficient opioid analgesics， which are different from the traditional morphine skeleton structure modifications. This article focuses on three new research strategies of G-protein biased activation，“ one drug-multiple targets” and peripheral activation. The basic principles of relative separation of analgesic activity and adverse drug reaction by each strategy are introduced， and the latest research progress of representative drugs is briefly reviewed. Among them， the recently approved novel opioid analgesics oliceridine and tegileridine are G-protein biased μ-opioid receptor agonists， Cebranopadol is a typical “one drug-multiple targets” analgesic， and NFEPP is a representative drug of peripheral opioid receptor agonists. The above several strategies complement each other and provide reference for the development of new opioid analgesic drugs.

RESULTS Seventy-eight compounds were identified including 20 phenylpropanoids, 33 terpenes, 19 flavonoids, 6 oxylipins, two of which might be new compounds. CONCLUSION The method can be used for rapid identification of chemical compositions in Xitong preparations, which provides basis for quality control and elucidation of phamarcodynamic material basis of Xitong pills and capsules .

BACKGROUND:Trauma-induced coagulopathy(TIC)due to serious injuries significantly leads to increased mortality and morbidity among elderly patients.However,the risk factors of TIC are not well elucidated.This study aimed to explore the risk factors of TIC in elderly patients who have major trauma. METHODS:In this retrospective study,the risk factors for TIC in elderly trauma patients at a single trauma center were investigated between January 2015 and September 2020.The demographic information including gender,age,trauma parts,injury severity,use of blood products,use of vasopressors,need of emergency surgery,duration of mechanical ventilation,length of stay in the intensive care unit(ICU)and hospital,and clinical outcomes were extracted from electric medical records.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to differentiate risk factors,and the performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curves. RESULTS:Among the 371 elderly trauma patients,248(66.8%)were male,with the age of 72.5±6.8 years,median injury severity score(ISS)of 24(IQR:17-29),and Glasgow coma score(GCS)of 14(IQR:7-15).Of these patients,129(34.8%)were diagnosed with TIC,whereas 242(65.2%)were diagnosed with non-TIC.The severity scores such as ISS(25[20-34]vs.21[16-29],P<0.001)and shock index(SI),(0.90±0.66 vs.0.58±0.18,P<0.001)was significantly higher in the TIC group than in the non-TIC group.Serum calcium levels(1.97±0.19 mmol/L vs.2.15±0.16 mmol/L,P<0.001),fibrinogen levels(1.7±0.8 g/L vs.2.8±0.9 g/L,P<0.001),and base excess(BE,-4.9±4.6 mmol/L vs.-1.2±3.1 mmol/L,P<0.001)were significantly lower in the TIC group than in the non-TIC group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that ISS>16(OR:3.404,95%CI:1.471-7.880;P=0.004),SI>1(OR:5.641,95%CI:1.700-18.719;P=0.005),low BE(OR:0.868,95%CI:0.760-0.991;P=0.037),hypocalcemia(OR:0.060,95%CI:0.009-0.392;P=0.003),and hypofibrinogenemia(OR:0.266,95%CI:0.168-0.419;P<0.001)were independent risk factors for TIC in elderly trauma patients.The AUC of the prediction model included all these risk factors was 0.887(95%CI:0.851-0.923)with a sensitivity and specificity of 83.6%and 82.6%,respectively. CONCLUSION:Higher ISS(more than 16),higher SI(more than 1),acidosis,hypocalcemia,and hypofibrinogenemia emerged as independent risk factors for TIC in elderly trauma patients.
