Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of total intravenous anesthesia and inhalational anesthesia on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection.Methods A comprehensive search was conducted in international biomedical databases including Ovid Medline,Embase,CINAHL(EBSCO),Cochrane Library,and Web of Science,from inception to July 4,2023.Additionally,ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform were searched for ongoing and completed trials.The randomized controlled trials(RCT)comparing total intravenous anesthesia and inhalational anesthesia in patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumors were included.The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated by the Cochrane Collaboration tool.Relevant data were extracted and synthesized for analysis.Results A total of 327 records were identified,of which eight RCTs met the inclusion criteria.Four studies showed that the patients receiving desflurane or sevoflurane anesthesia experienced faster emergence from anesthesia than those receiving propofol.Two studies indicated that patients in the propofol group had lower levels of emergence agitation and a lower incidence of early postoperative nausea and vomiting.The results on postoperative cognitive function were inconsistent across studies.No differences were found between the groups in terms of postoperative complications or overall recovery quality during hospitalization.Conclusions Inhalational anesthesia appears to provide an advantage in promoting faster emergence following transsphenoidal pituitary surgery,whereas total intravenous anesthesia may contribute to smoother and more stable recovery.Further high-quality studies are needed to clarify the effects of different anesthetic techniques on both short- and long-term postoperative recovery.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of frailty among older adults diagnosed with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome(NSTE-ACS).Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study involving patients aged 65 years and older with NSTE-ACS, who were admitted to the Cardiology Center and the Department of Geriatrics at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 2020 and November 2021.Patients were categorized into non-frail, pre-frail, and frail groups based on the FRAIL scale.We collected clinical data, including general health conditions, comorbidities, laboratory results, treatments, and comprehensive geriatric assessments.Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the influencing factors associated with frailty and pre-frailty in older adults with NSTE-ACS.Results:A total of 528 patients with NSTE-ACS were included in the study, comprising 308 males(58.3%)and 220 females(41.7%). The age range of participants was from 65 to 90 years, with a median age of 72(68, 76)years.The prevalence of frailty among older adults with NSTE-ACS was 11.4%(60/528), while pre-frailty was observed in 51.9%(274/528), and non-frailty in 36.7%(194/528). Compared to the non-frail and pre-frail groups, patients in the frail group were older, had a higher proportion of females, exhibited a greater prevalence of chronic diseases, and presented with elevated inflammatory markers.Additionally, frail patients demonstrated poorer nutritional status and reduced functional ability(all P<0.005). Risk factors for frailty in older adults with NSTE-ACS included older age( OR=1.110, 95% CI: 1.032-1.194, P=0.005), diabetes( OR=2.489, 95% CI: 1.091-5.679, P=0.030), cerebrovascular disease ( OR=4.151, 95% CI: 1.660-10.384, P=0.002), chronic kidney disease ( OR=42.874, 95% CI: 3.957-464.513, P=0.002), and elevated white blood cell levels( OR=1.424, 95% CI: 1.125-1.802, P=0.003). Conversely, being male( OR=0.252, 95% CI: 0.105-0.604, P=0.002)was identified as a protective factor against frailty in this patient population.For pre-frail older adults with NSTE-ACS, identified risk factors included diabetes( OR=1.882, 95% CI: 1.199-2.955, P=0.006), cerebrovascular disease( OR=1.938, 95% CI: 1.176-3.195, P=0.009), and chronic kidney disease ( OR=12.137, 95% CI: 1.536-95.934, P=0.018). Similarly, being male( OR=0.601, 95% CI: 0.376-0.961, P=0.033)was also a protective factor for pre-frailty in older adults with NSTE-ACS. Conclusions:The prevalence of frailty and pre-frailty among older adults with NSTE-ACS is notably high.Common risk factors for frailty and pre-frailty in this population include female gender, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease.

Objective To explore the curative effect of indobufen combined with clopidogrel and its influences on platelet activity and coagulation function in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods According to different treatment methods,patients with AMI were divided into treatment group and control group.The control group was given clopidogrel(75 mg,qd)and aspirin(0.1 g,qd),while treatment group was given clopidogrel(75 mg,qd)and indobufen tablets(0.1 g,bid).All were treated for 1 month.The curative effect,platelet count(PLT),mean platelet volume(MPV),prothrombin time(PT),fibrinogen(FIB)and D-dimer(D-D)before and after treatment,and adverse events within 1 month after medication were compared between the two groups.Results There were 38 cases in treatment group and 43 cases in control group.After treatment,curative effect in treatment group and control group were 97.37％and 86.05％,PLT were(167.89±43.62)× 109·L-1 and(183.73±49.81)× 109·L-1,MPV were(11.86±2.31)and(10.97±2.16)fl,FIB levels were(2.53±0.61)and(2.78±0.72)g·L-1,D-D levels were(0.20±0.06)and(0.22±0.07)mg·L-1,PT were(12.82±2.35)and(12.26±2.28)s,the difference was not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).The incidence of adverse drug reactions in treatment group and control group were 2.63％and 11.63％,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Conclusion Indobufen combined with clopidogrel has the comparable curative effect and good anti-platelet aggregation effect as aspirin,and indobufen has higher safety.So it is recommended as the medication regimen for AMI patients after PCI.

Objective To investigate the application of organoid technology in colorectal cancer research and analyze the factors influencing the success rate of organoid cultivation. Methods A total of 24 samples of colorectal cancer patients treated at Tianjin Fifth Central Hospital and cultured organoids using specific culture media and Matrigel. The samples were collected within 30 minutes post-excision and stored at 4℃ to minimize contamination and protein degradation. During the cultivation process,the authors recorded instances of bacterial or fungal contamination and the organoid growth,and test for their histological structure and expression of tumor markers. Additionally,by analyzing clinical information from the patients who provided the samples,explore potential factors that may affect the success rate of culturing colorectal cancer organoids. Results A success rate of 70.8％ (17/24) was achieved in the cultivation of organoid. The success rate of organoid culture was significantly different from that of tumor stage (all P<0.05),with significantly higher successful organoid cultivation rate for stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ tumor tissues than those for stageⅠand Ⅳ[83.3％ (5/6),90.9％ (10/11) vs. 33.4％ (1/3),25.0％ (1/4)]. Additionally,samples with a Ki-67 positive area proportion of 55％-70％ exhibited the highest success rate (100％). Phenotypic experiments on the organoids indicated that their pathological histological structure and the expression of tumor markers were consistent with those of the primary tissues,suggesting that the organoids retained the histological characteristics of the primary lesions. Conclusions This study successfully established a colorectal cancer organoid model revealing the impact of tumor staging and the proportion of Ki-67 positive areas on the success rate of culture. The organoid model effectively retains the histological characteristics of the primary lesion,providing a powerful in vitro tool for the research and treatment of colorectal cancer.
