OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for improving postoperative pain management outcomes， accelerating patient recovery， and ensuring the safe use of opioids. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted， in which patients undergoing elective hip or knee replacement in the Department of Orthopedics at Baoding No.1 Central Hospital （hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”） from November 2021 to November 2023 were randomly divided into control group and observation group using a random number table， with 178 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received postoperative pain management implemented by medical staff according to the clinical pathway for perioperative pain treatment. Patients in the observation group， under the enhanced recovery after surgery model， received postoperative pain management through a multidisciplinary collaborative team including clinical pharmacists. The occurrence and resolution of opioid-related drug-related problems （DRPs） were compared between the two groups， and the DRPs were classified and analyzed using the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe Classification System （V9.1）. Postoperative pain scores， sleep quality scores， length of hospital stay， and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 162 opioid-related DRPs were identified in 2 groups， with 58 in the observation group （identified 52 patients） and 104 in the control group （identified 91 patients）， showing a statistically significant difference （P＜0.05）. The primary issue involved in the DRPs for both groups was therapeutic effectiveness. Clinical pharmacists in the observation group conducted 88 interventions for the identified 58 opioid-related DRPs， achieving an overall intervention success rate of 84.5%. The pain scores and sleep quality scores from postoperative day 1 to 7， the length of hospitalization for hip replacement， the average hospitalization duration， and the total incidence of opioid-related adverse reactions were all significantly lower or shorter in the observation group compared to the control group （P＜0.05）. Furthermore， the main time effect， time-group interaction effect for pain scores and sleep quality scores were statistically significant in both groups （P＜0.05）， indicating that the control group exhibited greater reductions in these scores and observation group exhibited more rapid improvements. CONCLUSIONS The full involvement of clinical pharmacists in postoperative pain management and opioid medication administration in the orthopedics department enables timely identification and intervention of DRPs， enhance postoperative analgesia efficacy， decrease adverse drug reactions， shorten hospital stays， and accelerate patient recovery.

ObjectiveTo unearth novel circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network and potential drugs in ischemic stroke. MethodsData from the GEO database were utilized， focusing on three datasets （GSE115697， GSE51586， and GSE137482） that examine RNA expression levels in middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） mouse models. Differentially expressed mRNA （DEmRNA）， DEcircRNA， and DEmiRNA were identified using the Limma package in R. A comprehensive strategy combining bioinformatics tools such as MiRWalk and StarBase was employed to identify circRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks associated with ischemic stroke. Hub sub-networks were screened and visualized using Cytoscape software. Functional analyses of the ceRNA networks were performed using Gene Ontology （GO） enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomics （KEGG） pathway analysis， with pathways containing more than 10 enriched genes and an false discovery rate （FDR） ＜ 0.05 considered statistically significant. Lastly， the Connectivity Map （CMap） was applied to identify potential therapeutic drugs for ischemic stroke and the MCAO model was established in wild-type mice to verify the therapeutic effect. ResultsTotally， 1，249 DEmRNA， 294 DEmiRNA and 70 DEcircRNA were identified and it was found that 3 circRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks might be closely related to ischemic stroke. Based on these findings， Austricine， Metyrapone and Desoxypeganine were the most likely drugs that able to reverse the changes caused by stroke-related ceRNA networks. Metyrapone， taken as an example， was validated to improve neurological function damage on the first （P=0.001 4） and second （P=0.016 1） days post-surgery and reduce infarct volume （P=0.004 9）， thereby exerting a neuroprotective effect in ischemic stroke. ConclusionsOur study provides a novel insight into the pathogenesis and therapy of ischemic stroke from the perspective of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. The three drugs predicted in our research provide new clues for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

China is a high-incidence region for gastric cancer globally. The disease is characterized by a high morbidity rate, low early diagnostic rate, and poor long-term outcomes, imposing a significant burden on both patients and society. Therefore, exploring the pathogenesis of gastric cancer, developing novel therapeutic strategies, and identifying new drug targets is of great importance. Telomerase expression is broadly associated with cancer cell targeting, and its up-regulation is one of the key factors driving the initiation and progression of gastric cancer. Additionally, telomerase is intricately involved in the regulation of autophagy and autophagy-associated cell death. While autophagy can induce chemoresistance, excessive autophagy may lead to cell death, which also constitutes one of the mechanisms of chemotherapy. Telomerase not only directly contributes to gastric cancer pathogenesis but also indirectly influences its development and treatment by modulating autophagy and autophagic cell death. Therefore, telomerase holds promise as a novel therapeutic target in gastric cancer.

Objective:To discuss the clinical efficacy of treating lumbar muscle strain(LMS)with Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)plus Chinese medication hot compress. Methods:A total of 147 LMS patients were randomized into a Tuina group,a Chinese medication hot compress group,and a combined group,each consisting of 49 cases.The Tuina group received Tuina treatment;the Chinese medication hot compress group received Chinese medication hot compress treatment;and the combined group received the forementioned two therapies alternately.The three groups of patients were assessed using the visual analog scale(VAS)and Oswestry disability index(ODI)before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment.A 2-month follow-up was also conducted to observe the relapse rate. Results:The VAS and ODI scores dropped significantly after treatment in all three groups compared with their baseline(P<0.05),and the combined group surpassed the other two groups in comparing the ODI score(P<0.05).The 2-month follow-up showed that the combined group had the lowest relapse rate among the three groups(P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared to each therapy used alone,Tuina plus Chinese medication hot compress can relieve pain,improve daily living function,and reduce the short-term relapse rate better in treating LMS patients.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of neck Gongfa exercise in intervening people at high risk for cervical spondylosis. Methods:A total of 212 participants from 8 companies at high risk for cervical spondylosis were divided into two groups using the random number table method,with 105 participants in the control group receiving health education and 107 participants in the trial group receiving an additional neck Gongfa exercise.After successive 3-month interventions,the two groups were compared in terms of cervical soft tissue tension and neck disability index(NDI)score.The incidence of cervical spondylosis was observed 3 months later. Results:During the process,10 cases dropped out in the trial group,and the control group had 9 dropout cases.After the intervention,the cervical soft tissue tension value and NDI score improved in both groups(P<0.05)and showed significant differences between the two groups(P<0.05).At the 3-month follow-up,the trial group had a lower incidence rate of cervical spondylosis than the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:For people at high risk for cervical spondylosis,neck Gongfa exercise can effectively improve cervical soft tissue tension and motor dysfunction and lower the incidence of cervical spondylosis in the short run.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in patients with extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing enterobacterales(ESBL-E)bloodstream infection,and establish a nomogram prediction model to provide help for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A total of 235 patients with ESBL-E bloodstream infection were collected from the First People's Hospital of Jiande City.According to their prognosis,the patients were divided into survival group(n=211)and death group(n=224).The clinical data of the patients were collected,and the independent risk factors of poor prognosis were screened by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.The nomogram was established and verified.Results The mortality of ESBL-E bloodstream infection patients with shock,respiratory failure,diabetes and leukemia,ICU admission,hypoproteinemia,increased or decreased white blood cells,and thrombocytopenia was higher(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combined shock,respiratory failure and leukemia were independent risk factors for death from ESBL-E bloodstream infection.Conclusion The nomogram prediction model of adverse prognostic risk factors in patients with ESBL-E bloodstream infection can provide help for clinicians to judge the poor prognosis in the early stage,and it is of reference significance to take early intervention measures to reduce the mortality of patients.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism by which gastrodin improves renal hyperten-sion in rats.METHODS A rat model of renal hypertension was established by ligating the renal artery.seventy-five rats were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=15):control group(sham operation group),model group,model+ramipril 1 mg·kg-1,model+gastrodin 100 and 200 mg·kg-1.The systolic blood pressure of the tail artery after modeling>18.12 kPa was regarded as the success of modeling.After the model was established,rats in the model+ramipril group were ig given ramipril 1 mg·kg-1 while the model+gastrodin group was ig given gastrodin 100 and 200 mg·kg-1 respectively for 4 weeks.Colori-metric assay kit was used to detect the serum superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and malondialde-hyde(MDA)content in rats.ELISA was used to detect serum angiotensin-2(Ang-2)and aldosterone(ALD)contents,as well as serum and thoracic aortic tissue interleukin-1β(IL-1β),IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)content.HE staining was performed to detect pathological changes in thoracic aorta tissue of rats.The expressions of autophagy protein miceotubule associated protein light chain 3(LC3)-Ⅱand LC3-Ⅰwere detected by Western blotting.RESULTS The systolic pressure of the tail artery of rats after modeling exceeded 18.12 kPa,indicating that the modeling was successful.Compared with the control group,the contens of Ang-2(P<0.01)and ALD(P<0.01)in the model group were significantly increased,the activity of SOD(P<0.01)in serum and thoracic aorta tissue was significantly decreased,the content of MDA(P<0.01)was significantly increased,the contents of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and thoracic aorta tissue were significantly decreased(P<0.01)and the ratio of LC-32/LC-31 in thoracic aorta tissue was significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,gastrodin significantly increased the systolic pressure of the tail artery(P<0.01),the contents of Ang-2(P<0.01)and ALD(P<0.01)and the activity of SOD(P<0.01)in serum,as well as decreased the contents of MDA,IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α(P<0.01)in serum and thoracic aorta tissue.Meanwhile,gastrodin signifi-cantly decreased the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ in rat thoracic aorta(P<0.01).CONCLUSION Gastrodin can improve the blood pressure of renal hypertensive rats,and the mechanism is possibly related to the reduction of autophagy protein LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰratio.

Objective:To observe the effects of nutritional status on the surgical outcomes, nutritional indicators, and renal anemia of maintenance hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism undergoing parathyroidectomy.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 35 patients who underwent maintenance hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism at Huadu District People′s Hospital of Guangzhou from January 2016 to January 2021. All patients underwent total parathyroidectomy with autologous forearm transplantation due to ineffective drug treatment. Before surgery, patients were divided into three groups based on their nutritional status scores: no malnutrition group (0-1 points), mild malnutrition group (2-4 points), and moderate to severe malnutrition group (5-12 points). The changes in serum parathyroid hormone, blood calcium, blood phosphorus, blood albumin, and other indicators were observed at different time points before and after surgery in different groups of patients.Results:The serum parathyroid hormone, blood phosphorus, and calcium phosphorus product of maintenance hemodialysis patients with different nutritional status who underwent parathyroidectomy at 3, 6, and 12 months were significantly decreased compared with preoperative levels, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no significant changes in albumin, lymphocyte count, and total cholesterol levels in patients without malnutrition at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P>0.05); The lymphocyte count of patients with mild malnutrition increased significantly at 6 and 12 months after surgery compared to preoperative levels (all P<0.05). The levels of albumin and total cholesterol in patients with moderate to severe malnutrition increased significantly at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P<0.05). The Hb levels of patients without malnutrition and those with mild malnutrition increased significantly at 6 and 12 months after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P<0.05); The Hb levels of patients with moderate to severe malnutrition increased significantly at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Nutritional status affects the long-term outcomes of parathyroidectomy in hemodialysis patients, and parathyroidectomy can significantly improve the nutritional and anemia status of hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. This effect is more pronounced in patients with moderate to severe malnutrition before surgery.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of frailty among elders aged ≥60 years in the Beijing community and analyze the risk factors of frailty.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 1936 older persons in Baizhifang Community in Beijing were included between May and September 2023. Their frailty was evaluated by Fried Frailty Phenotype Scale. Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were used to evaluate nutritional status, physical function, and depression, respectively. The prevalence and risk factors of frailty among the elderly in the community were analyzed.Results:A total of 168 individuals met the criteria for frailty, and the prevalence of frailty was 8.7%. Compared to the non-frail group, the frail group was predominantly female (71.4% vs 62.2%; χ 2=5.59, P=0.018), older [(72.1±6.6) vs (69.9±6.0) ages; t=-5.25, P<0.001], unmarried (1.8% vs 0.8%; χ 2=8.60, P=0.014), with lower education levels (10.7% vs 3.5%; χ 2=23.38, P<0.001), poorer self-assessed health (22.6% vs 6.5%; χ 2=69.80, P<0.001), lower MNA-SF scores [(12.2±2.2) vs (13.0±1.4) scores; t=6.29, P<0.001], lower SPPB scores [(8.4±1.9) vs (10.2±1.6) scores; t=14.62, P<0.001], higher GDS scores [(4.0±3.8) vs (1.9±2.1) scores; t=-11.48, P<0.001], and worse vision, hearing, and olfactory functions (48.2% vs 34.1%, 36.9% vs 23.0%, 9.5% vs 3.0%; χ 2=13.37, 16.11, 40.58, all P<0.001). They were also more likely to suffer from hypertension (70.8% vs 56.7%; χ 2=12.52, P<0.001), diabetes (42.3% vs 29.4%; χ 2=12.06, P<0.001), osteoarthritis (46.4% vs 30.3%; χ 2=18.39, P<0.001) and stroke (19.0% vs 13.3%; χ 2=4.28, P=0.039). Logistic regression analysis showed that frailty was independently associated with nutritional status ( OR=0.8, 95% CI: 0.7-0.9, P<0.001), depressive symptoms ( OR=1.1, 95% CI: 1.1-1.2, P<0.001), olfactory function ( OR=2.1, 95% CI: 1.4-3.0, P<0.001; OR=2.9, 95% CI: 1.4-5.9, P=0.003), and physical function ( OR=0.6, 95% CI: 0.6-0.7, P<0.001) after adjusting for covariates. Conclusions:The prevalence of frailty among elderly people in community is relatively high. Frailty in community elders is associated with physical function, psychological function, nutritional status, and olfactory function decline.
