[Objective] To investigate the differences in metabolomics between apheresis platelets stored at 4℃ and at 22℃ with agitation, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the cold storage of apheresis platelets. [Methods] Samples were collected at four time points (d1, d5, d10, d15) for platelets stored at 4℃ (experimental group) and two time points (d1, d5) for platelets stored at 22℃ with agitation (control group). Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology was used to detect changes in platelet metabolome levels under different storage conditions. Platelet functional activity was assessed by thromboelastography (TEG) for maximum amplitude (MA) values and flow cytometry for CD62P activation rates. [Results] Metabolites in the glycolytic pathway, key metabolites in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (citrate, α-ketoglutarate), metabolites in the purine metabolism pathway (adenine, inosine monophosphate, guanine, etc.) and amino acid metabolites significantly decreased by d5 in the control group, whereas they remained stable in the experimental group. The content of fatty acid metabolites, such as prostaglandin G2, 13(S)-HOTrE, and linoleic acid, significantly increased in the control group. Statistically significant differences in MA values were observed between the two groups at d1 and d5 (P<0.05). However, in the experimental group, as the storage time extended, the MA values at d10 and d15 showed no significant difference compared to the control group at d5 (P>0.05). The CD62P activation rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Additionally, the CD62P activation rate of platelets in the 22℃ group increased rapidly from d1, while it rose gradually in the 4 ℃ group. [Conclusion] Platelets stored at 4 ℃ exhibit more stable metabolic activity and slower functional deterioration, which is beneficial for extending the effective storage period of platelets.

Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an irreversible sensorineural hearing loss that severely endangers workers’ health, making early screening crucial. This article reviewed the research progress on early screening methods for occupational NIHL, introduced the testing mechanisms of three core screening methods—tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry —and summarized their clinical application advantages and limitations. It is proposed that multimodal combined detection (e.g., the combination of tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry) can significantly improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of early screening. Meanwhile, future studies with prospective cohort design are encouraged to verify the long-term monitoring value of each method and to strengthen the joint development of screening technologies with cutting-edge approaches such as machine learning, in order to further improve screening efficiency and provide stronger protection for workers’ hearing health.

Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment effect and prognostic factors of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is an ambispective cohort study. From August 2005 to December 2022,data of 510 patients who diagnosed with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and underwent surgical resection at the Hepatobiliary Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively collected. In the cohort,there were 324 males and 186 females,with an age of ( M (IQR)) 63(13)years (range:25 to 85 years). The liver function at admission was Child-Pugh A (343 cases,67.3%) and Child-Pugh B (167 cases,32.7%). Three hundred and seventy-two(72.9%) patients had jaundice symptoms and the median total bilirubin was 126.3(197.6) μmol/L(range: 5.4 to 722.8 μmol/L) at admission. Two hundred and fourty-seven cases (48.4%) were treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage or endoscopic nasobiliary drainage before operation. The median bilirubin level in the drainage group decreased from 186.4 μmol/L to 85.5 μmol/L before operation. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to identify the influencing factors for R0 resection,and Cox regression was used to construct multivariate prediction models for overall survival(OS) and disease-free survival(DFS). Results:Among 510 patients who underwent surgical resection,Bismuth-Corlett type Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients accounted for 71.8%,among which 86.1% (315/366) underwent hemi-hepatectomy,while 81.9% (118/144) underwent extrahepatic biliary duct resection alone in Bismuch-Corlett type Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients. The median OS time was 22.8 months, and the OS rates at 1-,3-,5-and 10-year were 72.2%,35.6%,24.8% and 11.0%,respectively. The median DFS time was 15.2 months,and the DFS rates was 66.0%,32.4%,20.9% and 11.0%,respectively. The R0 resection rate was 64.5% (329/510), and the OS rates of patients with R0 resection at 1-,3-,5-and 10-year were 82.5%, 48.6%, 34.4%, 15.2%,respectively. The morbidity of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ-Ⅴ complications was 26.1%(133/510) and the 30-day mortality was 4.3% (22/510). Multivariate Logistic regression indicated that Bismuth-Corlett type Ⅰ-Ⅲ ( P=0.009), hemi-hepatectomy and extended resection ( P=0.001),T1 and T2 patients without vascular invasion (T2 vs. T1: OR=1.43 (0.61-3.35), P=0.413;T3 vs. T1: OR=2.57 (1.03-6.41), P=0.010;T4 vs. T1, OR=3.77 (1.37-10.38), P<0.01) were more likely to obtain R0 resection. Preoperative bilirubin,Child-Pugh grade,tumor size,surgical margin,T stage,N stage,nerve infiltration and Edmondson grade were independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS of hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients without distant metastasis. Conclusions:Radical surgical resection is necessary to prolong the long-term survival of hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients. Hemi-hepatectomy and extended resection,regional lymph node dissection and combined vascular resection if necessary,can improve R0 resection rate.

Objective To investigate the effects of remazolam on melatonin secretion,sleep rhythm and postoperative delirium(POD)in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery.Methods A total of 160 elderly patients,76 males and 84 females,aged 65-80 years,BMI 18.5-24.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,from November 2023 to January 2024 undergoing spinal surgery(lumbar interbody fusion,posterior approach)under general anesthesia were selected.The patients were divided into two groups by random number table method:the remazolam group(group R)and the propofol group(group P),80 pa-tients in each group.Group R was given remazolam 0.3 mg/kg for anesthesia induction,and then continued to pump remazolam 0.3-0.8 mg·kg-1·h-1 for anesthesia maintenance.Group P was given propofol 2.0 mg/kg for anesthesia induction,and then continued to pump propofol 4-6 mg·kg-1·h-1 for anesthesia maintenance.The levels of melatonin and cortisol were recorded at 04:00 a.m.on the day of surgery,1 day,2 and 3 days after surgery.Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)and VAS pain scores at rest were recorded 1 day before surgery,1 day and 2 days after surgery and before discharge.The occurrence of POD and post-operative sleep disorder(POSD)were recorded.The duration of extubation,PACU stay time,total analgesia pump compressions,effective analgesia pump compressions,number of remedial analgesia cases,intraoperative hypotension,postoperative nausea and vomiting,dizziness,respiratory depression and other adverse events were recorded.Results Compared with group P,the extubation time and PACU residence time in group R were significantly shortened(P＜0.05),the level of melatonin was significantly increased while the level of cortisol was significantly decreased at 4:00 a.m.,and the PSQI was significantly decreased 1 day after surgery(P＜0.05),the incidence of POD,POSD,and intraoperative hypotension were signifi-cantly decreased(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in extubation time,total and effective times of analgesic pump,rate of remedial analgesia,intraoperative hypotension,postoperative nausea,vom-iting,dizziness and respiratory depression between the two groups.Conclusion Remazolam has little effect on the secretion rhythm of melatonin and cortisol and the sleep rhythm after spinal surgery in elderly pa-tients,and the recovery is faster,which can reduce the incidence of POD and alleviate the sleep disorder af-ter spinal surgery.

Ankylosing spondylitis(AS)is a typical spinal arthritis characterised by inflammatory back pain,which seriously affects the health and quality of life of patients.The clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis is clear,but the mechanism is not clear,and the existing animal models cannot be well applied to the evaluation of Chinese medicine in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.Therefore,this paper summarizes the existing animal models based on Chinese and Western medicine clinical diagnosis,disease characteristics,etiology and Chinese medicine evidence,and finds that among the existing animal models,the proteoglycan-induced arthritis mouse model has a higher Chinese and Western medicine clinical fit than the other models,but lacks the corresponding Chinese medicine evidence model evaluation.The other animal models had a higher Western clinical match,but lacked the characteristics of the Traditional Chinee Medicine(TCM)syndrome.As ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease with complex pathogenic factors,the existing animal models cannot better simulate the clinical symptoms.Therefore,the establishment of animal models of ankylosing spondylitis with the characteristics of Chinese and Western clinical evidence is a future research priority for AS TCM.

Objective:To analyze the relevant factors affecting postnatal glucose metabolism in pregnant women with gestational diabetes and construct a nomogram prediction model.Methods:Using a retrospective study method, 210 cases of gestational diabetes patients admitted to Danyang People′s Hospital from March 2019 to November 2021 were selected as the study subjects, and they were divided into 125 cases of normal group and 85 cases of abnormal group according to the postnatal glucose metabolism. The predictive value was analyzed using the subject work characteristics (ROC) curve experiment; the risk factors affecting abnormal postpartum glucose metabolism in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus were analyzed using Logistic regression experiment; and the clinical efficacy of the column-line diagram model was verified using internal data.Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups when comparing the general information such as age ( P>0.05); compared with the normal group, the abnormal group had higher values of total cholesterol (TG), postprandial 2 h blood glucose (OGTT 2 h), glycosylated hemoglobin, and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI): (4.23 ± 1.35) mmol/L vs. (3.65 ± 1.50) mmol/L, (9.36 ± 1.25) mmol/L vs. (8.20 ± 1.51) mmol/L, (8.31 ± 2.96)% vs. (6.73 ± 2.23)%, (24.96 ± 4.21) kg/m 2 vs. (23.20 ± 3.25) kg/m 2, and those with a family history of diabetes mellitus were higher: 47.06%(40/85) vs. 20.80%(26/125), there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); the area under the curve (AUC) of TG, OGTT 2 h, glycated hemoglobin, and pre-pregnancy BMI were 0.605, 0.720, 0.670, and 0.616, with optimal cut off values of 4.65 mmol/L, 8.33 mmol/L, 8.06%, and 25.27 kg/m 2; TG (>4.65 mmol/L), OGTT 2 h (>8.33 mmol/L), glycated hemoglobin (>8.06%), and preconception BMI (>25.27 kg/m 2), and family history of diabetes mellitus (yes) were risk factors for abnormal glucose metabolism in pregnant women ( P<0.05); the C-index of the risk of postpartum glucose metabolism in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus predicted by the column chart model was 0.750 (95% CI 0.672 - 0.864). The model predicted that the threshold of the risk of postnatal glucose metabolism in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus was >0.07. Conclusions:TG (>4.65 mmol/L ), OGTT 2 h (>8.33 mmol/L ), glycated haemoglobin (>8.06%), pre-pregnancy BMI (>25.27 kg/m 2), and family history of diabetes (yes) are risk factors for abnormal glucose metabolism in pregnant women, and the model constructed based on the variables have good predictive power.
