Objective:To compare the effects of erector spinae plane block at T 2 (T 2-ESPB) and nerve root block at C 5 (C 5-NRB) in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery with general anesthesia. Methods:This was a randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study. Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification I or Ⅱ patients, aged 45-75 yr, with body mass index ≤35 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery at Jining No. 1 People′s Hospital from April 2023 to February 2024, were included and divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: C 5-NRB group (group C) and T 2-ESPB group (group T). In group C, C 5-NRB was carried out by injecting 0.5% ropivacaine 5 ml. In group T, T 2-ESPB was performed by injecting 0.25% ropivacaine 30 ml. The efficacy of nerve block was assessed using a prick test at 30 min after administration, and then total intravenous anesthesia was performed in both groups. The time to first rescue analgesia (the non-inferiority boundary Δ =2 h), requirement for rescue analgesia within 24 h after operation and intraoperative consumption of anesthetics were recorded. The motor function of the affected limb during shoulder abduction, elbow flexion and elbow extension was assessed and scored using the modified Bromage scale (MBS) at 30 min and 4 and 12 h after nerve block. The diaphragmatic excursion was measured and recorded using M-mode ultrasound before nerve block and at 30 min after nerve block to evaluate the occurrence of diaphragmatic paralysis. Complications such as local anesthetic toxicity, recurrent laryngeal nerve block and pneumothorax were also recorded. Results:The mean difference (95% confidence interval) for the time to first rescue analgesia between the two groups was 5.551 (1.875-9.148) h, with the upper limit exceeding the non-inferiority boundary. Compared with group T, the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil was significantly reduced, the time to first rescue analgesia was prolonged, the consumption of morphine for rescue analgesia was decreased, MBS scores during shoulder abduction, elbow flexion and elbow extension were decreased at 30 min after block, and MBS scores during shoulder abduction and elbow flexion were decreased at 4 and 12 h after block in group C ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the diaphragmatic excursion, incidence of diaphragm paralysis and incidence of complications before and after block in the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:C 5-NRB provides superior efficacy compared to T 2-ESPB when used for arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia.

Endometrial injury disease is a kind of uterine disease of thin endometrium and intrauterine adhesion caused by endometrial basal layer damage.The current clinical use of drug therapy and hysteroscopy surgery can not have good curative effects.Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)and platelet-rich plasma(PRP)can secrete a variety of active factors to regulate the inflammatory response and immune response of endometrial,promote endometrial proliferation and repair,and there is a mutual promoting effect between the two.Combined use can provide a new idea for the clinical treatment of endometrial injury diseases.

Objective:To investigate risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes(APO) in women with hypertriglyceridemia(HTG) during late pregnancy despite normal thyroid function, focusing on thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor(TSHR) levels.Methods:A total of 242 pregnant women with normal thyroid function who delivered in General Hospital of Central Theater Command from October 2023 to June 2024 were divided into HTG( n=111) and non-HTG groups( n=131). Clinical data, lipid profiles, thyroid function, TSHR levels, and APO were compared, and the influencing factors of APO were analyzed. Results:Compared with non-HTG group, APO, adverse maternal outcomes, and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) were significantly more frequent in the HTG group( P<0.05). The HTG group also had higher triglyceride(TG), fasting plasma glucose(FPG), triglyceride glucose index(TyG), triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol(TG/HDL-C), thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) and TSHR, with lower free triiodothyronine (FT 3)( P<0.05). TSHR was an independent risk factor for APO, maternal adverse outcomes, and GDM in all pregnant women( OR=1.112, 95% CI 1.007-1.229; OR=1.126, 95% CI 1.020-1.243; OR=1.133, 95% CI 1.025-1.253) and was also an independent risk factor for APO in the HTG group( OR=1.165, 95% CI 1.005-1.351). Conclusion:Pregnant women with normal thyroid function and HTG in late pregnancy are more likely to have APO, manifested as maternal adverse outcomes and GDM. TSHR is an independent risk factor for APO.

To screen potential drugs for the treatment of acute Liver Injury(ALI)through network pharmacology and mitochondrial dynamics,and to investigate their actions and mechanisms.Based on the commonly utilized Liver Pure Tablets and Liver-Protecting Capsules in the market,a com-ponent library of liver disease drugs was screened and established.Pharmacological anchoring anal-ysis was carried out.Potential liver disease therapeutic drugs were screened out through molecular docking,and feedback verification was performed using animal experiments.Acute liver injury mouse models were established through excessive induction with acetaminophen(APAP),and the histopathological changes of liver tissues were examined.The protective effect of the drug on ALI was evaluated by detecting alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT),glutathione(GSH),and malondialdehyde(MDA)using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).qRT-PCR was employed to detect peroxi-some proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha(PPARG1A),mitofusin 1(MFN1),mitofusin 2(MFN2),dynamin-related protein 1(DRP1),optic atrophy 1 protein(OP A1),Steroid receptor coactivator(SRC),and advanced glycosylation end-product specific re-ceptor(AGER)to explore the protective mechanism of the drug on ALI.The result showed that Network pharmacology identified a total of 662 intersection targets of three types of prescription drugs and ALI.Eventually,72 core targets were screened out.Pathway enrichment analysis indi-cates that the potential mechanism might be associated with the lipid and atherosclerosis signaling pathways.The results of the relevant molecular docking indicate that the most likely optimal drug might be emodin(EMO).EMO ameliorated the pathological damage in mice with acute liver inju-ry,significantly decreased the contents of transferase factors ALT and AST,simultaneously in-creased the contents of antioxidant enzymes CAT,GSH and SOD,and reduced the content of oxi-dative metabolic end product MDA.It also upregulated the mRNA expression levels of MFN1、MFN2,OPA1,DRP1,SRC and PPARGC1A proteins in liver tissue,and inhibited the mRNA ex-pression level of AGER protein.The drug EMO,jointly screened out by network pharmacology through anchoring and molecular docking,might promote mitochondrial fusion metabolism,allevi-ate liver oxidative stress,and improve liver injury in ALI mice via the Lipid and atherosclerosis pathway.

Objective:To explore the standardized performance of a FISH probe before clinical detection.Methods:The probe sensitivity and specificity of ETV6/RUNX1 were analyzed via interphase and metaphase FISH in 20 discarded healthy bone marrow samples. The threshold system of the probe was established using an inverse beta distribution, and an interpretation standard was established. Finally, a parallel-controlled polymerase chain reaction detection study was conducted on 286 bone marrow samples from patients at our hospital. The clinical sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic coincidence rate of ETV6/RUNX1 FISH detection were analyzed, and the diagnostic consistency of the two methods was analyzed by the kappa test.Results:The probe sensitivity and specificity of the ETV6/RUNX1 probe were 98.47% and 100%, respectively. When 50, 100, and 200 cells were counted, the typical positive signal pattern cutoffs were 5.81%, 2.95%, and 1.49%, respectively, and the atypical positive signal pattern cutoffs were 13.98%, 9.75%, and 6.26%, respectively. The clinical sensitivity of FISH was 96.1%, clinical specificity was 99.6%, diagnostic coincidence rate was 99.00%, diagnostic consistency test kappa value was 0.964, and P value was <0.001.Conclusion:For FISH probes without a national medical device registration certificate, standardized performance verification and methodology performance verification can be performed using laboratory developed test verification standards to ensure a reliable and accurate reference basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the physicochemical and biological properties of different magnesium modified calcium phosphate bone cements.Methods:The different magnesium modified calcium phosphate bone cements were divided into magnesium citrate, magnesium lactate, magnesium malate, magnesium phosphate and magnesium glycinate groups, each of which was added with different magnesium agents in the proportion of 0%, 1%, 3% and 5% of the total weight of calcium phosphate bone cements. The initial and final setting time, injectability, anti-collapse performance and compressive strength of different magnesium modified calcium phosphate bone cements were tested. Furthermore, the screened bone cement extracts were used to culture with third generation osteoblasts. Bioactivity assays were performed using the Cell Proliferation and Toxicity Assay Kit (CCK-8). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining were performed on osteoblasts to observe the osteogenic activity of magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements.Results:The addition of different proportions of different magnesium agents led to the shortening of the initial and final setting time of modified calcium phosphate bone cements. Moreover, the final setting time of 5% magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements was the shortest (<40 minutes), which was significantly shorter compared with other magnesium agents in the same proportion (all P<0.05). With the addition of different magnesium agents in different proportions, the injectability of bone cements was gradually increased, and the injectability of 5% magnesium malate calcium phosphate bone cements reached the highest for (87.3±1.9)%, which was significantly increased compared with other magnesium agents in the same proportion (all P<0.05). The anti-collapse performance of bone cements was decreased with the addition of different magnesium agents in different proportions. Magnesium citrate, magnesium phosphate and magnesium glycinate modified calcium phosphate bone cements could not resist the flushing of deionized water. In particular, magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements had the best anti-collapse performance, with the maximum weight loss rate for only (9.8±2.3)% after 30 minutes of deionized water flushing, which was better than the rest of the groups (all P<0.05). The compressive strength of magnesium lactate and magnesium phosphate modified calcium phosphate bone cements showed a decrease compared with original calcium phosphate bone cements, while the compressive strength of magnesium citrate and magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements was significantly increased compared with original calcium phosphate bone cements, of which 3% magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements had the greatest compressive strength of (6.2±0.2)MPa, significantly higher than the rest of the groups (all P<0.05). The sieve test yielded magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cement, which had a weight loss of (27.0±0.9)% at 35 days in vitro. The release of magnesium ions was increased with increasing magnesium malate dose in the in vitro environment of magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements in different ratios. A stable magnesium ion release was achieved within 35 days.Also, the pro-proliferative and osteogenic effects of modified calcium phosphate bone cements on osteoblasts were more obvious with increase of magnesium malate dose. For 5% magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements, the cell number, ALP staining area ratio and calcium nodule area ratio were significantly increased compared with the groups in the proportion of 0% and 1% magnesium malate (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Among magnesium citrate, magnesium lactate, magnesium malate, magnesium phosphate and magnesium glycinate modified calcium phosphate bone cements, magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements have relatively suitable setting time, excellent anti-collapse performance and mechanical strength. Meanwhile, 5% magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements have better biological activity among different ratios of magnesium malate modified calcium phosphate bone cements, suggesting a potential value for clinical application.

【Objective】 To investigate the feasibility of using surface electromyography （SEMG） for the detection of abnormal muscle response （AMR） in patients with hemifacial spasm （HFS）. 【Methods】 We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of HFS patients who underwent microvascular decompression （MVD） in our hospital between June 2019 and December 2020. Patients who received both surface electrode （preoperative） and needle electrode （intraoperative） detection of AMR were included. SEMG recorded from two stimulation-recording sites， namely， zygomatic-mentalis and mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi， was selected for analyzing the characteristics of AMR. The positive rates of AMR detected by these two kinds of electrodes were comprehensively compared. 【Results】 Totally 77 patients were included in this study. When detected with surface electrodes， the positive rate， latency and amplitude of AMR recorded at zygomatic-mentalis oculi were 90.9% （70/77）， （10.87±1.86） ms and （202.8±47.4） μV， and at mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi were 92.2% （71/77）， （10.41±1.83） ms and （211.1±54.1） μV， respectively. AMR was detected in 74 patients （96.1%） with surface electrodes. There was no significant difference in positive rate， latency and amplitude of AMR between these two stimulation-recording methods. When detected with needle electrodes， the positive rate of AMR recorded at zygomatic-mentalis oculi was 98.7% （76/77）， which was significantly higher than the rate 89.6% （69/77） recorded at mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi （P=0.016）. The latency and amplitude of AMR recorded at zygomatic-mentalis were （10.63±1.39） ms and （83.5±27.2） μV， and at mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi were （10.31±1.18） ms and （58.6±21.4） μV. There was no significant difference in latency between the two stimulation-recording methods， but the amplitude recorded at mandibular marginal-orbicularis oculi was significantly lower （P=0.041）. AMR was detected in 76 patients （98.7%） with needle electrodes. There was no significant difference in the detection rate of AMR between surface electrodes and needle electrodes （P=0.500）， the results were moderately consistent （Kappa=0.490， P<0.001）. 【Conclusion】 The detection efficiency of surface electrodes for AMR is similar to that of needle electrode. With its non-invasive characteristic， the surface electrode can be routinely used for electrophysiological evaluation of HFS.
