ObjectiveNon-invasive magnetic stimulation technology has been widely used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but there is a lack of convenient and timely methods for evaluating and providing feedback on the effectiveness of the stimulation, which can be used to guide the adjustment of the stimulation protocol. This study aims to explore the possibility of heart rate variability (HRV) in diagnosing AD and guiding AD magnetic stimulation intervention techniques. MethodsIn this study, we used a 40 Hz, 10 mT pulsed magnetic field to expose AD mouse models to whole-body exposure for 18 d, and detected the behavioral and electroencephalographic signals before and after exposure, as well as the instant electrocardiographic signals after exposure every day. ResultsUsing one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, we found that some HRV indicators could identify AD mouse models as accurately as behavioral and electroencephalogram(EEG) changes (P<0.05) and significantly distinguish the severity of the disease (P<0.05), including rMSSD, pNN6, LF/HF, SD1/SD2, and entropy arrangement. These HRV indicators showed good correlation and statistical significance with behavioral and EEG changes (r>0.3, P<0.05); HRV indicators were significantly modulated by the magnetic field exposure before and after the exposure, both of which were observed in the continuous changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) (P<0.05), and the trend of the stimulation effect was more accurately observed in the continuous changes of ECG. ConclusionHRV can accurately reflect the pathophysiological changes and disease degree, quickly evaluate the effect of magnetic stimulation, and has the potential to guide the pattern of magnetic exposure, providing a new idea for the study of personalized electromagnetic neuroregulation technology for brain diseases.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of using indocyanine green combined with autologous blood and methylene blue for localization of small lung nodules during thoracoscopic wedge resection. Methods Patients who underwent CT-guided percutaneous lung puncture injection of localization agents to locate lung nodules at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from November 2023 to January 2024 were selected. Under thoracoscopy, lung nodules were located by white light mode, fluorescence mode, or near-infrared mode and wedge resection was performed. The feasibility of using indocyanine green combined with autologous blood and methylene blue for localization of small lung nodules was preliminarily verified by evaluating whether the localization agent concentrated around the nodules, and the safety of this method was verified by analyzing the incidence of adverse reactions during patient puncture and surgery. Results A total of 30 patients with lung nodules were included, including 10 males and 20 females, with an average age of (55.5±11.2) years. In 26 patients, the amount of localization agent used was moderate, the localization agent concentrated around the nodules, and successful precise localization of small lung nodules was achieved. In 4 patients, due to excessive use of localization agent, the marker was diffuse with pleural staining. The overall localization success rate was 86.7%, and when the injection volume of localization agent was 0.2-0.5 mL, the localization success rate was 100.0%. All patients successfully completed thoracoscopic wedge resection and found nodule lesions, with negative margins and a distance from the margin to the lesion that met the requirements. There were no complications. Conclusion Thoracoscopic surgery using indocyanine green combined with autologous blood and methylene blue for localization of small lung nodules is safe and feasible.

Objective To investigate the prognosis and satisfaction of the R2 intervention procedure and develop related predictive models. Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with primary craniofacial hyperhidrosis who underwent R2 intervention surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from November 2018 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. By statistically analyzing the risk factors for compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) and satisfaction, and conducting feature screening, a relevant prediction model was established. Results Finally, 51 patients were collected, including 43 (84.3%) males and 8 (15.7%) females, with an average age of (30.27±7.22) years. Overall postoperative satisfaction was high, with only 5.9% of patients expressing regret about the surgery. However, 92.2% of patients experienced CH. The onset of postoperative CH was most prominent within the first 3 months postoperatively, with the incidence rate stabilizing thereafter. Preoperative heart rate and R2 sympathetic nerve clipping were identified as independent risk factors for severe CH. The preoperative body mass index, the degree of sweating in the chest and abdomen, are significantly correlated with postoperative satisfaction. Conclusion The R2 intervention surgery effectively alleviates the symptoms of primary craniofacial hyperhidrosis, and patient satisfaction is high.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of endoscopic Delta large channel unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression(ULBD)in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis(LSS),and the postoperative complications was analyzed.Methods A total of 100 patients with LSS in our hospital from January 2021 to February 2023 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.Patient in the control group were treated with bilateral or unilateral decompression through the median incision adjacent to the lateral spinous process,and patients in the observation group were treated with endoscopic Delta large channel ULBD.The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)scores,Oswestry disability index(ODI)scores before surgery and 1 month,3 months,6 months after surgery,as well as clinical efficacy and incidence of postoperative complications of patients between the two groups were compared.Results Compared with preoperative results,the VAS scores of leg pain and low back pain and ODI scores of patients 1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgery in both groups were significantly lower(P<0.05),and JOA scores were significantly higher(P<0.05).Moreover,compared with the control group,the VAS scores of leg pain and low back pain and ODI scores of patients 1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgery in the observation group were lower(P<0.05),the JOA scores were higher(P<0.05).The total effective rate in the observation group was 98.00%,which was higher than 72.00%in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 4.00%,which was lower than 24.00%in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic Delta large channel ULBD in the treatment of LSS can effectively reduce postopera-tive leg pain and low back pain,improve lumbar function,improve clinical therapeutic effect,and reduce postoperative complications.

Objective To analyze the effects of different anastomotic methods on flap survival rate and wound healing factors of patients with transplantation of superficial branch perforator flap of superficial circumflex iliac artery(SCIA).Methods A total of 100 patients with skin defects of limbs admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to August 2022 were selected and divided into end-to-end anastomosis group(56 cases)and end-to-side anastomosis group(44 cases)according to different anastomosis methods.In the end-to-end anastomosis group,the end of the flap artery was anastomosed with the end of the aortic branch in the affected area.In the end-to-side anastomosis group,the end of recipient flap artery was anastomosed with the side of aorta.Patients in both groups were followed up for 6 to 12 months,the arterial caliber,lateral caliber and anastomosis time were compared between the two groups.The survival of the flap,the occurrence of venous crisis,the shape and function of the flap and donor area were observed.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the arterial caliber or lateral caliber of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The anastomosis time of patients in the end-to-end anastomosis group was significantly shorter than that in the end-to-side anastomosis group(P<0.05).All 56 cases in the end-to-end anastomosis group survived.In the end-to-side anastomosis group,venous crisis occurred in 4 cases,with venous thrombosis,2 cases survived after re-anastomosis,2 cases were changed to abdominal pedicled flap when venous crisis occurred again,the appearance and function of the flap and donor area were satisfactory 6 months to 1 year after surgery(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in color,thickness,vascular distribution or flexibility of donor area of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in pain,appearance,vitality and recreation of recipient area of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The application of different arterial anastomosis methods in the transplantation of superficial branch perforator flap of SCIA for the treatment of skin and soft tissue defects of limbs is safe and reliable,the postoperative survival of the flap is good,the healing is not affected by the anastomosis method,and the appearance of the affected area is satisfactory,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To compare the efficacy of renal proximal renal artery denervation(pRDN)and full-length renal artery denervation(fRDN)for treatment of hypertension.Methods Fifty-six hypertensive patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to full-length renal artery denervation group(n=25)and proximal renal artery denervation group(n=31).After the procedure,24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(24 h-ABPM)at 6 months and office blood pressure at 12 months was recorded for statistical analysis.Results The blood pressure at follow-up reduced significantly in both groups,while there was no significant difference between groups.The baseline office blood pressure in fRDN group and pRDN group was(180±15)/(104±10)mmHg and(180±12)/(103±8)mmHg,respectively,which decreased to(142±9)/(82±7)mmHg and(143±10)/(83±6)mmHg at 12 months postoperatively(P＜0.001 within groups and P＞0.05 between groups).The baseline 24 h-ABPM in the two groups was(162±13)/(95±8)mmHg and(160±12)/(94±8)mmHg,respectively,which decreased to(142±11)/(83±7)mmHg and(141±8)/(81±7)mmHg at 6 months postoperatively(P＜0.001 within groups and P＞0.05 between groups).However,there was no significant difference in the reduction of office blood pressure and ambulatory blood pressure between the two groups.No treatment-related adverse events were observed.Conclusions pRDN has similar antihypertensive effect to fRDN.

The morbidity and mortality of hypertension have increased in recent years,threatening human cardiovascular health and increasing the global health burden.Renal sympathetic denervation(RDN),which reduces blood pressure by inhibiting renal sympathetic nerve activity,is a promising and novel treatment for hypertension.Among them,catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation has already been studied in several large-scale clinical studies,and the long-term follow-up results have been published,which has triggered a new thinking about the long-term efficacy of RDN.Therefore,this article focuses on the long-term efficacy of RSD and its potential influencing factors,aiming to provide a reference for the clinical application of RDN.
