With the progression of liver cirrhosis， patients often develop sarcopenia and lipid metabolism disorders， and the complex interaction between p sarcopenia and lipid metabolism disorders not only promotes the progression of liver cirrhosis， but also affects the prognosis and quality of life of patients. As an effective intervention for alleviating complications associated with liver cirrhosis， transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt （TIPS） can improve sarcopenia to a certain degree by improving hepatic hemodynamics and reducing portal venous pressure. In addition， there might be varying degrees of changes in blood lipid levels after TIPS， which may be closely associated with the recovery of liver metabolic function and the alterations in hemodynamics. This article introduces the association between liver cirrhosis， sarcopenia， and lipid metabolism disorders， elaborates on the effect of TIPS on sarcopenia and abnormal lipid metabolism， and discusses related mechanism and clinical significance， in order to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment.

Objective To explore the application of the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model in predicting the number of reported hepatitis E cases in Yunnan Province，to use this model to predict the incidence trend of hepatitis E, and to provide reference for the scientific prevention and control of hepatitis E. Methods Monthly reported cases of hepatitis E in Yunnan Province from 2012 to 2021 were collected. The ARIMA model was established using SPSS 27.0, and the model was validated and parameters were optimized with data from January 2022 to December 2022. The optimal fitting model was used to predict the incidence of hepatitis E in 2023. Results Hepatitis E incidence in Yunnan Province showed a certain seasonal distribution, with most cases concentrated from March to August. All parameters of ARIMA(3,1,4)(1,1,1)₁₂ passed statistical tests. The Ljung-Box test showed statistic Q =10.050, P = 0.346, residual sequence was a white noise sequence, and goodness-of-fit index stationary R² was 0.591. The model extrapolation effect was verified with 2022 data, and MAPE was 14.747, indicating that the model extrapolation effect was effective. The number of hepatitis E cases in Yunnan Province in 2023 was expected to be 1,086. Conclusion The ARIMA (3,1,4)(1,1,1)₁₂ model shows good fitting performance for hepatitis E cases in Yunnan Province and can effectively predict short-term disease trends, providing a theoretical basis for formulating prevention and control measures for hepatitis E.

Objective: To investigate the association between dietary quality and overweight / obesity among primary school students, so as to provide a basis for the prevention and control of childhood obesity. Methods: In September 2022, third-grade students from six primary schools in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province were selected by a random cluster sampling method. Data on gender, age, height, and weight were collected through questionnaire surveys and physical examinations. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated, and overweight and obesity were determined using gender- and age-specific BMI cut-off points. The Chinese dietary quality questionnaires was administered to assess the intake of health-promoting and restricted foods over the past 24 hours, thereby evaluating overall dietary quality. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between dietary quality and overweight / obesity among primary school students. Results: A total of 1 375 primary school students were included, comprising 722 (52.51%) boys and 653 (47.49%) girls, with a mean age of (8.47±0.30) years. Among them, 165 (12.00%) were overweight and 171 (12.44%) were obese. The score for health-promoting foods was (4.29±2.27) points. The median score of restricted foods was 2.00 (interquartile range, 3.00) points. The total dietary quality score was (10.84±2.42) points. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that the restricted food score was positively associated with overweight (OR=1.073, 95%CI: 1.002-1.148), while the total dietary quality score was negatively associated with overweight (OR=0.911, 95%CI: 0.851-0.976). However, no statistically significant associations were observed between the health-promoting food score and overweight or obesity (both P>0.05), nor between the restricted food score or total dietary quality score and obesity (both P>0.05). Conclusion A higher intake of restricted foods was associated with an increased risk of overweight, while a better dietary quality was associated with a decreased risk of overweight among primary school students.

OBJECTIVE To establish an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous determination of 30 compounds(including antianginal drugs, anticoagulant, anti-platelet aggregators and anti-inflammatory analgesics) illegally added in Chinese patent medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. METHODS The sample was extracted by ultrasonication with 60% methanol. The analysis was performed on Phenomenex Kinetex C18 column (2.1 mm×100 mm, 2.6 μm) with gradient elution using 0.1% formic acid solution and acetonitrile as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 0.3 mL·min–1, and the column temperature was 40 ℃. Mass spectrometry was collected using electrospray ionization (ESI), simultaneous scanning of positive and negative ions, and multiple reaction monitoring mode. RESULTS The linearity of the 30 compounds was good in the mass range examined, with the correlation coefficients all >0.999. The limits of detection of each compound ranged from 1.3 to 238.4 ng·g–1 and the average recoveries ranged from 63.7% to 108.2% with the RSDs of 1.0% to 6.7%. The method was used to test 90 batches of Shujin Huoxue tablets. Paracetamol was detected in 3 batches, while the rest of the compounds were not detected. The amount of paracetamol detected ranged from 0.16 to 0.93 μg per tablet, which was much lower than the minimum daily dose of the corresponding drug, excluding intentional addition. The probable explanation was the residues caused by incomplete cleaning validation of the enterprise’s collinear production. CONCLUSION This method is rapid, accurate, highly sensitive, and highly selective, and can be used for qualitative screening and quantitative determination of 30 chemical compounds illegally added in Chinese patent medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of buccal acupuncture on analgesia after tonsilloadenoidectomy in pediatric patients.Methods:This was a randomized controlled study. One hundred and twenty-six American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ pediatric patients, aged 3-12 yr, weighing 12-34 kg, with body mass index <30 kg/m 2, undergoing elective tonsilloadenoidectomy with general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=63 each) by the random number table method: buccal acupuncture group (group B) and control group (group C). All pediatric patients received the same anesthesia induction and intraoperative anesthesia maintenance. The concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted to keep the fluctuation amplitude of vital sign parameters within 20% of the baseline value. After surgery, the drug was immediately stopped and the children were transferred to the postanesthesia care unit for resuscitation under general anesthesia. In group B, the bilateral neck points, upper neck points, hologram points on the head and Zhongjiao points were selected before removal of the tracheal catheter, and disposable acupuncture needles were inserted directly into the acupoints and remained for 20-30 min. Group C received no buccal acupuncture. The pain Assessment Scale (FLACC) was used to assess the severity of postoperative pain. The postoperative agitation score was evaluated by Aono four-point rating method to evaluate the occurrence of agitation. The effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia, rescue analgesia and occurrence of nausea and vomiting within 48 h after operation were recorded. The occurrence of bleeding, infection and broken needle at acupuncture sites was recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and incidence of nausea and vomiting were significantly decreased in group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of rescue analgesia and incidence of postoperative agitation between the two groups ( P>0.05). No infection or broken needle was found at acupuncture sites after buccal acupuncture, only 2 cases had slight bleeding at the puncture site, and there was no abnormality after pressing in group B. Conclusions:Buccal acupuncture can enhance the analgesic effect after tonsilloadenoidectomy in pediatric patients.

Objective:To investigate the pharmacokinetics of sugammadex in reversal of rocuronium-induced muscle relaxant residual in infants and young children undergoing daytime surgery.Methods:One hundred and four pediatric patients of either sex, aged 3-36 months, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ, with body mass index of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, diagnosed with oblique inguinal hernia and/or hydrocele, scheduled for laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac and/or high ligation of sphingoid surgery, were included in the study. Intraoperative neuromuscle relaxation was assessed by transdermal stimulation of the ulnar nerve in the wrist using a TOF Guard monitor. Rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg, propofol 3 mg/kg, and sufentanyl 0.5 μg/kg were intravenously injected for anesthesia induction, and propofol 6-8 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused to maintain anesthesia. The pediatric patients were divided into Ⅰgroup and Ⅱ group according to the degree of postoperative neuromuscular block. In group Ⅰ, sugammadex 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected when TOF returned to T 2 recurrence. In group Ⅱ, sugammadex 4 mg/kg was intravenously injected when the single stimulation count was 1 or 2 after tetanic stimulation. At 2 and 10 min after rocuronium administration, at the end of operation, 2 and 10 min after sugammadex administration, and when the children met the standard of leaving the resuscitation room, venous blood samples were collected for determination of plasma concentrations of rocuronium and sugammadex using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using the Pheonix WinNonlin software. The onset of rocuronium and time for recovery of TOF ratio to 90% were recorded. Results:The pharmacokinetics of sugammadex was fitted to the nonlinear mixed-effect satrioventricular model.There was no significant difference in the peak concentration, area under the drug concentration-time curve, elimination half-life, apparent clearance, apparent volume of distribution, mean retention time, and time for TOF ratio returning to 90% between the two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:The pharmacokinetics of sugammadex in reversal of rocuronium-induced muscle relaxant residual is fitted to a nonlinear mixed-effect satrioventricular model, and sugammadex 2 and 4 mg/kg have similar pharmacokinetics in infants and young children undergoing daytime surgery.

Objective:To investigate the effects of preoperative administration of parecoxib sodium on stress reaction and postoperative nausea and vomiting score in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods:A total of 112 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Lishui City People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 56 patients per group. The observation group was intravenously administered 40 mg parecoxib sodium 30 minutes before surgery, and the control group was identically administered equal amount of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. At 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone levels and postoperative nausea and vomiting score were compared between the two groups.Results:At 1, 6 and 12 hours after surgery, VAS score in the observation group was (3.23 ± 0.85) points, (2.44 ± 0.76) points, (2.37 ± 0.69) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than (4.06 ± 1.12) points, (3.24 ± 0.95) points, (3.10 ± 1.07) points in the control group ( t = 4.41, 4.92, 4.29, all P < 0.001). At 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery, cortisol level in the observation group was (287.79 ± 35.46) ng/L, (303.55 ± 34.77) ng/L, (368.58 ± 31.22) ng/L, (397.16 ± 32.60) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (337.64 ± 39.52) ng/L, (364.18 ± 36.90) ng/L, (405.56 ± 37.29) ng/L, (455.51 ± 37.81) ng/L in the control group ( t = 7.02, 8.94, 5.69, 8.74, all P < 0.05). At 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery, adrenocorticotropic hormone level in the observation group was (59.25 ± 7.63) ng/L, (65.27 ± 8.23) ng/L, (72.29 ± 7.49) ng/L, (83.63 ± 8.57) ng/L, which were significantly lower than (64.48 ± 8.06) ng/L, (71.44 ± 8.59) ng/L, (79.79 ± 8.15) ng/L, (90.08 ± 8.26) ng/L in the control group ( t = 3.52, 3.88, 5.07, 4.05, all P < 0.05). Within 24 hours after surgery, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [12.50% (7/56) vs. 28.57% (16/56), χ2 = 4.43, P < 0.05). Within 2 hours, 2-6 hours, and > 6-24 hours, postoperative nausea and vomiting score in the observation group was (1.31 ± 0.26) points, (1.43 ± 0.32) points, and (1.46 ± 0.41) points, respectively, which was significantly lower than (1.67 ± 0.41) points, (1.83 ± 0.39) points, (1.88 ± 0.44) points in the control group ( t = 2.12, 2.37, 2.14, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Preoperative administration of parecoxib sodium exhibits a good postoperative analgesic effect in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It can effectively reduce postoperative stress reactions, decrease the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and lower the severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and thereby can be widely used in clinical practice.

AlM: To analyze the prescribing of different antiplatelet drugs and clinical conditions of patients with coronary heart disease in department of Geriatrics. METHODS: This study was a single center and cross-sectional study. Patients with coronary heart disease were recruited when hospitalized in the department of Geriatrics department, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University between December 2021 and June 2022. We investigated and analyzed the clinical conditions of patients including the prescribing of the antiplatelet drugs. RESULTS: A total of 347 coronary heart disease patients with a mean age of (65.2 ± 10.1) years were included. The antiplatelet drug clopidogrel was the most commonly prescribed. Among the different dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), aspirin combined with clopidogrel was the most widely used. With the increasing of the numbers of target coronary lesions, the prescribing rate of clopidogrel increased significantly (P < 0.05). In three groups with different degrees of target coronary lesions, the prescribing rate of aspirin was higher than that of indobufene (P < 0.05). Compared with patients taking aspirin, the patients taking indobufene were older with a higher blood creatinine level, a higher proportion of chronic gastropathy and the higher level of platelet aggregation rates (P < 0.05). CONCLUSlON: Clopidogrel is the most commonly prescribed antiplatelet drugs in patients with coronary heart disease. Aspirin combined with clopidogrel is the most widely used in DAPT. Compared with aspirin, indobufene is more commonly used in elderly patients with the chronic gastritis and a higher serum creatinine level.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of auricular acupoint pressure therapy combined with intranasal dexmedetomidine for transthoracic echocardiography in pediatric patients.Methods:A total of 117 pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, aged 3-36 months, weighing 5-20 kg, scheduled for elective transthoracic echocardiography under outpatient sedation, were selected.Transthoracic echocardiography was performed under sedation using intranasally administered dexmedetomidine or using auricular acupoint pressure therapy combined with intranasal dexmedetomidine.The interval between the two sedation methods was at least 1 week.Intranasal dexmedetomidine: Dexmedetomidine 3 μg/kg was administered to both nostrils via a nebulizer, with 1/2 dose in each nostril.Intranasal dexmedetomidine combined with auricular acupoint pressure: auricular acupressure with Wang Bu Liu Xing (semen vaccariae) seeds was used at the auricular acupoints.After each acupoint was rubbed for about 1 min, dexmedetomidine 3 μg/kg was administered to both nostrils via a nebulizer, with 1/2 dose in each nostril.After the examination, auricular acupoint pressure therapy was continued at home, and pressing-rubbing at the acupoints was manipulated for 3 times daily, one of which was performed at 30 min before going to bed, for 3 consecutive days.When the University of Michigan Sedation Scale score≥2 and body movement score ≥2 within 30 min after giving dexmedetomidine, sedation was considered to be successful.The onset time of sedation, examination time, waiting time, recovery time and the success of sedation were recorded.The incidence of adverse reactions such as bradycardia, hypotension, hypertension, hypoxemia, nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, restlessness, hyperactivity, action imbalances and allergic reaction were recorded within 24 h after administration of dexmedetomidine.Time to recovery and improvement of sleep quality at night were recorded.Results:Compared with intranasal dexmedetomidine, the successful rate of sedation and incidence of improvement of sleep quality at night were significantly increased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in adverse reactions using intranasal dexmedetomidine combined with auricular acupoint pressure ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Intranasal dexmedetomidine combined with auricular acupoint pressure therapy can increase the successful rate of sedation and improve the sleep quality at night in pediatric patients undergoing transthoracic echocardiography when compared to intranasal dexmedetomidine.
