OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical value of analgesia and sedation under bispectral index (BIS) monitoring combined with hydraulic coupled intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring in severe craniocerebral injury (sTBI).
METHODS:
(1) A prospective self-controlled parallel control study was conducted. A total of 32 patients with sTBI after craniotomy admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First People's Hospital of Huzhou from December 2020 to July 2021 were selected as the research objects. ICP was monitored by Codman monitoring system and hydraulically coupled monitoring system, and the difference and correlation between them were compared. (2) A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. A total of 108 sTBI patients admitted to the ICU of the First People's Hospital of Huzhou from August 2021 to August 2022 were selected patients were divided into 3 groups according to the random number table method. All patients were given routine treatment after brain surgery. On this basis, the ICP values of the patients in group A (35 cases) were monitored by Codman monitoring system, the ICP values of the patients in group B (40 cases) were monitored by hydraulic coupling monitoring system, and the ICP values of the patients in group C (33 cases) were monitored combined with hydraulic coupling monitoring system, and the analgesia and sedation were guided by BIS. The ICP after treatment, cerebrospinal fluid drainage time, ICP monitoring time, ICU stay time, complications and Glasgow outcome score (GOS) at 6 months after surgery were compared among the 3 groups. In addition, patients in group B and group C were further grouped according to the waveforms. If P1 = P2 wave or P2 and P3 wave were low, they were classified as compensatory group. If the round wave or P2 > P1 wave was defined as decompensated group, the GOS scores of the two groups at 6 months after operation were compared.
RESULTS:
(1) There was no significant difference in ICP values measured by Codman monitoring system and hydraulic coupling monitoring system in the same patient (mmHg: 11.94±1.76 vs. 11.88±1.90, t = 0.150, P = 0.882; 1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa). Blan-altman analysis showed that the 95% consistency limit (95%LoA) of ICP values measured by the two methods was -4.55 to 4.68 mmHg, and all points fell within 95%LoA, indicating that the two methods had a good correlation. (2) There were no significant differences in cerebrospinal fluid drainage time, ICP monitoring time, ICU stay time, and incidence of complications such as intracranial infection, intracranial rebleeding, traumatic hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and accidental extubation among the 3 groups of sTBI patients (P > 0.05 or P > 0.017). The ICP value of group C after treatment was significantly lower than that of group A and group B (mmHg: 20.94±2.37 vs. 25.86±3.15, 26.40±3.09, all P < 0.05), the incidence of pulmonary infection (9.1% vs. 45.7%, 42.5%), seizure (3.0% vs. 31.4%, 30.0%), reoperation (3.0% vs. 31.4%, 40.0%), and poor prognosis 6 months after operation (33.3% vs. 65.7%, 65.0%) were significantly lower than those in group A and group B (all P < 0.017). According to the hydraulic coupling waveform, GOS scores of 35 patients in the compensated group were significantly higher than those of 38 patients in the decompensated group 6 months after operation (4.03±1.18 vs. 2.39±1.50, t = 5.153, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
The hydraulic coupled intracranial pressure monitoring system has good accuracy and consistency in measuring ICP value, and it can better display ICP waveform changes than the traditional ICP monitoring method, and has better prediction value for prognosis evaluation, which can replace Codman monitoring to accurately guide clinical work. In addition, analgesia and sedation under BIS monitoring combined with hydraulic coupled ICP monitoring can effectively reduce ICP, reduce the incidence of complications, and improve the prognosis, which has high clinical application value.

Objective :
To investigate the correlation between nocturnal sleep duration combined with snoring in the first trimester of pregnancyand small for gestational age(SGA) ,large for gestational age(LGA) .
Methods :
Multi- variate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between nocturnal sleep duration ,snoring, their combined effects and SGA,LGA.
Results :
Compared to nocturnal sleep duration 7 to 9 h in the first trimester of pregnancy,sleep duration<7 h was positively correlated with SGA in male newborn( OR = 4. 22,95% CI : 1. 69 - 10. 52) ; After stratified by snoring,the sleep duration of snoring women<7 h was positively correlated with SGA ( OR = 5. 68,95% CI : 1. 02-31. 51) ,and the sleep duration of non-snoring women<7 h was positively correlated with LGA ( OR = 2. 10,95% CI : 1. 16 -3. 81) .
Conclusion
Sleep duration<7 h in the first trimester of preg- nancy is a risk factor for SGA and LGA,and snoring may enhance the association between sleep duration<7 h in the first trimester of pregnancy and SGA.Pregnant women should keep adequate nocturnal sleep duration to reduce the risk of abnormal neonatal weight.

We reported a case of polyglandular syndrome induced by programmed death-1(PD-1) inhibitors. The patient was a 51-years-old male with non-small cell lung cancer, treated with PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab/pembrolizumab because of postoperative subcarinal lymph node metastasis indicated by PET-CT. During 14 cycles of PD-1 inhibitor treatment, the patient successively developed primary hypothyroidism, and type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM). More than five months after the withdrawal of pembrolizumab, the patient experienced recurrentce. Laboratory examinations showed mild hyponatremia and hypopituitarism including ACTH and growth hormone(GH)/insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) insufficiency. This is the first report of a patient diagnosed as polyglandular syndrome caused by PD-1 inhibitor. In particularly, the hypothyroidism and T1DM did not improve after drug withdrawal, while hypopituitarism was further aggravated. This case reminds us that we should pay more attention to the changes of endocrine function during and after the treatment of PD-1 inhibitor, so that we can make the correct diagnosis and take proper medical measures timely, to avoide missed diagnosis, and improper treatment.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of oxidative stress injury and possible pathways in glutaryl CoA dehydrogenase deficient (GCDH -/-) rats with high lysine diet (Lys). Methods:Four-week-old rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: wild type+standard diet group (WT, n=6), GCDH -/-+standard diet group (GCDH -/-, n=11), WT+Lys group ( n=8), GCDH -/-+Lys group ( n=13), WT+Lys+vitamin (V) E group ( n=7), and GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group ( n=12); rats in the WT group and GCDH -/- group were given standard diet, and rats in the WT+Lys group, GCDH -/-+Lys group, WT+Lys+VE group and GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group were given high lysine diet (4.7% Lys); rats in the WT+Lys+VE and GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group were given VE (100 mg/[kg·d]) by intragastric administration once per d, and rats in other groups were given normal saline by intragastric administration once per d. The body mass and survival of rats in each group were observed. Twenty-eight d after intervention, rats were injected intraperitoneally with 10% chloral hydrate and anesthetized; their brains were severed to obtain hippocampal tissues; and pathomorphological changes were observed by HE staining; the content/activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in the hippocampus were detected by ELISA; the protein expressions of P38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and extra-celluar regulated protein kinase (ERK) in the hippocampus were detected by Western blotting. Results:(1) The survival ratio of rats in the GCDH -/-+Lys group was 9/13, and that in the GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group was 11/12. From the 7 th d of intervention, the body mass of rats in the GCDH -/-+Lys group and GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group was significantly lower than that in the WT group ( P<0.05). (2) As compared with that in the WT group, MDA content in hippocampal tissues of rats in the GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group and GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group was significantly increased ( P<0.05). As compared with WT group, GCDH -/-+Lys group had significantly decreased GPx activity, CAT activity and SOD activity, and statistically decreased GSH content ( P<0.05). As compared with those in the GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group, the GPx activity, CAT activity, SOD activity, and GSH content in the GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group were significantly increased ( P<0.05). (3) Western blotting showed that as compared with that in the WT group, the P38 protein expression in the hippocampus of rats in GCDH -/-+Lys group and GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group was significantly increased ( P<0.05); as compared with GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group, the P38 protein expression in the GCDH -/-+Lys+VE group was statistically decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:There is oxidative stress injury in the hippocampus of GCDH -/- rats with Lys, whose possible mechanism is to activate P38 and initiate MAPK signaling pathway; VE protects GCDH -/- hippocampal cells from oxidative stress by decreasing P38 expression.

Objective:To investigate the effect of decompression of optic nerve canal for traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) via lateral supraorbital approach.Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed to analyze clinical data of 23 TON patients admitted to First People's Hospital of Huzhou from December 2013 to June 2019. There were 16 males and 7 females, aged 17-51 years [(34.3±2.2)years]. Degree of visual impairment included count fingers in 4 patients, hand motion in 4, light perception in 9 and loss of light perception in 6. Visual evoked potential examination (VEP) was performed in 15 patients before surgery. The amplitude of P100 completely disappeared in 5 patients, and the amplitude of P100 was lower than the lower limit of normal value and the latency prolonged in 10 patients. The time from injury to operation was 3 h-14 days [(3.3±0.6)days]. All patients underwent decompression of optic nerve canal via supralateral orbital approach, and dural repair was performed simultaneously in 11 patients with dural rupture. Intraoperative fractures and meningeal tears, duration of operation, blood loss, and hospitalization duration were recorded. Combined with the classical visual acuity improvement assessment method and the World Health Organization (WHO) low vision and blind grading standard, visual acuity was compared before operation, at 10 days and 3 months after operation. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was used to evaluate patients' state of consciousness in the course of the disease. Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) was used to evaluate the prognosis. Incidence of complications was observed as well.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-16 weeks [(13.5±2.4)weeks]. Intraoperative microscopic exploration revealed that all patients had optic nerve canal fracture, 3 patients had frontal fracture with dural rupture, and 8 patients had ethmoid bone fragment with anterior skull base dural rupture. The duration of operation was 108.5-224.3 minutes [(151.8±30.2)minutes], including (32.5±8.4)minutes for craniotomy. The intraoperative blood loss was 90.5-165.3 ml [(121.3±15.5)ml]. The hospitalization was 14-26 days [(19.7±3.4)days]. The visual acuity of 13 patients (57%) improved and 5 patients (39%) relieved from blindness 10 days after operation, showing significant difference compared with the preoperation ( P<0.05). The visual acuity of 17 patients (74%) improved and 9 patients (39%) relieved from blindness at 3 months after operation. There was significant difference in visual acuity examined between 10 days and 3 months after operation ( P<0.05). Six patients were invalid, and 4 of them had no light perception before operation and the amplitude of VEP examination completely disappeared. All patients had GCS of 15 when left the hospital and GOS of 5 at 3 months after operation. One patient had cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and healed after 7 days of supine position. No secondary hematoma, epilepsy or intracranial infection occurred during follow-up. Conclusion:Optic canal decompression via the lateral supraorbital approach can improve visual acuity in early stage and increase the rate of out of blindness, with low postoperative complications and satisfactory functional recovery, which is worthy of clinical application.
