Objective To investigate the predictors of chronic pain after inguinal hernia surgery.Methods A total of 400 patients with inguinal hernia surgery in our hospital from August 2018 to May 2023 were selected as the study objects.Visual analog scoring(VSA)was used to evaluate postoperative acute pain within 24 h after surgery.The patients were divided into chronic pain group and non-chronic pain group according to whether chronic pain occurred after surgery.Thirty-seven patients with postoperative pain lasting more than 3 months were in the chronic pain group,and the remaining 363 patients were in the non-chronic pain group.Lasso-Logistic regression was used to analyze the predictors of acute and chronic pain after inguinal hernia surgery.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age,BMI,smoking history,preoperative groin pain,intraoperative nerve tension or injury,wound infection and postoperative acute pain between the chronic pain group and the non-chronic pain group(P＜0.05).The data were regularized by Lasso regression,and three representative risk factors of chronic postoperative pain,namely preoperative groin pain,intraoperative nerve pulling or injury,and postoperative acute pain,were selected.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that:Preoperative groin pain(OR=2.548,95％CI1.150-5.647),intraoperative nerve tension OR injury(OR=4.435,95％CI2.084-9.436)and postoperative acute pain(OR=2.242,95％CI1.041-4.829)was the factor of chronic pain after operation(P＜0.05).Conclusion Preoperative groin pain,intraoperative nerve pulling or injury,and postoperative acute pain are the factors affecting chronic pain after inguinal hernia.Identifying high-risk groups and taking targeted measures are helpful to prevent and treat chronic pain after inguinal hernia.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of new-type stereotaxic apparatus-assisted transfrontal puncture and drainage in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in the basal ganglia.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 60 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in the basal ganglia who received disposable new-type stereotaxic apparatus-assisted transfrontal insertion with soft tunnels for hematoma aspiration drainage in our hospital from August 2017 to September 2019. The treatment efficacy was analyzed.Results:All patients were successfully punctured at one time; the puncture surface was 5-6.5 cm on the basement plane, where the hematoma surface was the largest; the puncture angle was 10-14°, and the puncture depth was 9-11.5 cm. Fifteen patients were operated within 6 h of hemorrhage, and the intraoperative hematoma clearance rate was about 25%; 40 patients were operated 6-24 h after hemorrhage, and the hematoma clearance rate was about 20%; 5 patients were operated one-3 d after hemorrhage, and the hematoma clearance rate was as high as 30%. The first postoperative re-check CT showed that 51 patients had ideal position of the drainage tube, 2 were too deep, one was too shallow, 2 were below the position, 2 were above the position, one was inside the position, and one was outside the position. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GOS) scores of the patients on 3 rd d of operation (9.88±3.998) were significantly higher than those of the patients before operation (6.24±3.159, P<0.05). One month after the operation, GOS showed that 20 patients (33.3%) had good recovery, 28 (46.7%) had mild disability, 7 (11.7%) had severe disability, 3 (5.0%) had plant survival, and 2 (3.3%) died. Conclusion:The disposable new-type stereotaxic apparatus-assisted transfrontal puncture drainage is easy to be conducted and practicable with a reasonable design, accurate positioning, minimal surgical traumas and satisfactory curative effect.

Objective To investigate the application value of combined detection of enterovirus 71 type(EV71) nucleic acid and antibody in diagnosis of hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD).Methods From Jan.to Nov.2015,a total of 180 children with suspected HFMD were divided into nucleic acid detection group,antibody detection group and combined detection group,with 36 subjects for each group.Viral nucleic acid was detected by using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.Antibody was detected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.All detected results were analyzed.Results The positive rate of nucleic acid detection group was the highest(80.55%),while that of antibody detection group was the lowest(47.22%).Among various symptoms,the positive rates of nucleic acid,antibody and combined detection in subjects with skin rash were the highest.Conclusion Combined detection of EV71 nucleic acid and antibody could avoid the false positive result of nucleic acid detection and false negative result of antibody detection,thus could be helpful for increasing diagnostic accuracy rate of HFMD.

Deregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays an important role in the development of multiple cardiovascular diseases. Our recent study demonstrated that genistein supplementation attenuates pulmonary arterial hypertension in broilers by restoration of endothelial function. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism by using broiler pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs). Our results showed that genistein stimulated a rapid phosphorylation of eNOS at Ser(1179) which was associated with activation of eNOS/NO axis. Further study indicated that the activation of eNOS was not mediated through estrogen receptors or tyrosine kinase inhibition, but via a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt-dependent signaling pathway, as the eNOS activity and related NO release were largely abolished by pharmacological inhibitors of PI3K or Akt. Thus, our findings revealed a critical function of Akt in mediating genistein-stimulated eNOS activity in PAECs, partially accounting for the beneficial effects of genistein on the development of cardiovascular diseases observed in animal models.
