Objective To analyze the influencing factors of delirium after endovascular aortic repair, and to provide a basis for clinical nursing and prevention of this condition. Methods Patients who underwent endovascular aortic repair at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2018 to 2019 were selected. The Chinese version of the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC) was used to assess whether postoperative delirium occurred. Patients with a Nu-DESC score≥ 3 were assigned to the delirium group. Non-delirium patients who had the same surgeon and adjacent surgical order were selected at a 1 : 4 ratio to form the non-delirium group. Univariate analysis was performed on the clinical data of the two groups. Factors with P<0.1 in the univariate analysis and those considered clinically significant were included in a multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the influencing factors of postoperative delirium. Stratified analysis was conducted based on thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR). Results A total of 213 patients were included, comprising 46 in the delirium group and 167 in the non-delirium group. The overall mean age was (60.3±12.0) years, and 183 (85.9%) were male. Univariate analysis showed that emergency admission, preoperative neutrophil percentage, aortic dissection, surgical duration, intubation time, and ICU stay may be associated with postoperative delirium. Multivariate analysis revealed that longer operative and intubation times were associated with a higher likelihood of delirium. In the stratified analysis, the results for the TEVAR group were consistent with the overall findings, whereas no significant differences were observed in the EVAR group. Conclusion Longer surgical and intubation times are associated with an increased risk of delirium in patients undergoing TEVAR. No significant factors influencing delirium are identified in patients undergoing EVAR.

ObjectiveTo unveil the mechanism of Jianpi Huogu prescription (JPHGP) in ameliorating the dyslipidemia of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femur head (SONFH) by oxylipidomics combined with transcriptomics. MethodsSixty SD rats were assigned into normal, model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.5, 5, 10 g·kg-1, respectively) JPHGP, and Jiangushengwan (1.53 g·kg-1) groups. Lipopolysaccharide was injected into the tail vein at a dose of 20 μg·kg-1 on days 1 and 2, and methylprednisolone sodium succinate was injected at a dose of 40 mg·kg-1 into the buttock muscle on days 3 to 5. The normal group received an equal volume of normal saline. Drug administration by gavage began 4 weeks after the last injection, and samples were taken after administration for 8 weeks. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted to reveal the histopathological changes of the femoral head, and the number of adipocytes, the rate of empty bone lacunae, and the trabecular area were calculated. Micro-computed tomography was used for revealing the histological and histomorphometrical changes of the femoral head. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), and apolipoprotein B (ApoB). At the same time, the femoral head was collected for oxylipidomic and transcriptomic detection. The differential metabolites and differential genes were enriched and analyzed, and the target genes regulating lipid metabolism were predicted. The predicted target proteins were further verified by molecular docking, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showcased thinning of the femoral head, trabecular fracture, karyopyknosis, subchondral cystic degeneration, increases in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae (P<0.01), a reduction in the trabecular area (P<0.01), decreases in BMD, Tb.Th, Tb.N, and BV/TV, and increases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the JPHGP groups showed no obvious thinning of the femoral head or subchondroidal cystic degeneration. The high- and medium-dose JPHGP groups presented declines in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae, an increase in the trabecular area (P<0.05, P<0.01), rises in BMD, Tb.Th, Tb.N, and BV/TV, and decreases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the normal group, the model group showcased raised serum levels of TG, TC, LDL, and ApoB and lowered serum levels of HDL and ApoA1 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the JPHGP groups had lowered serum levels of TG, TC, LDL, and ApoB (P<0.05, P<0.01) and a risen serum level of ApoA1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, the serum level of HDL in the high-dose JPHGP group increased (P<0.01). A total of 19 different metabolites of disease set and drug set were screened out by oxylipidomics of the femoral head, and 119 core genes with restored expression were detected by transcriptomics. The enriched pathways were mainly concentrated in inflammation, lipids, apoptosis, and osteoclast differentiation. Molecular docking, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot results showed that compared with the normal group, the model group displayed increased content of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in the femoral head (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, medium- and high-dose JPHGP reduced the content of 5-LO and PPARγ (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionJPHGP can restore the levels of oxidized lipid metabolites by regulating the 5-LO-PPARγ axis to treat SONFH in rats. Relevant studies provide experimental evidence for the efficacy mechanism of JPHGP in the treatment of SONFH.

This study aims to compare the vaccination rates and incidence of adverse reaction rates following administration of two domestically produced human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines in individuals aged 9-30 years,investigate the impact of distinct manufacturing processes and vaccination schedules on adverse reaction rates. From November 2023 to June 2024, the Immunization Planning Department of Liuzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a single-center, randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial using community-based recruitment of eligible participants aged 9 to 30 years. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either of two domestically produced HPV vaccines (Walrinvax or Cecolin). As specified in the vaccine package inserts, subjects were stratified into a two-dose regimen group (aged 9-14 years) and a three-dose regimen group (aged 15-30 years). Vaccination rates were recorded, and adverse reactions within 0-30 days post-vaccination were monitored. The results showed that a total of 400 participants were enrolled. Both the full vaccination rate and the timely completion rate were significantly higher in the two-dose regimen group compared to the three-dose regimen group (Fisher′s exact test, P<0.01; χ2=7.06, P<0.01). A total of 985 doses were administered. The overall adverse reaction rate was 18.78% (185/985), with local and systemic reactions occurring at 8.02% (79/985) and 10.76% (106/985), respectively. The most frequent adverse reactions were injection site pain (4.97%, 49/985) and fever (4.47%, 44/985). No grade 4 or special-interest adverse events were reported.The incidence of adverse reactions for the two domestic HPV vaccines with different production processes (at 0/6 months) was 13.96% (55/394) and 17.46% (69/395) respectively, with no statistically significant difference (χ2=1.83, P>0.05).The adverse reaction rate was significantly lower in the 9-14 years group (9.77%) compared the 15-30 years group (24.91%)(χ 2=35.67, P<0.01). In conclusion, both domestic HPV vaccines demonstrated a favorable safety profile in the 9-30 years age group, with mostly mild adverse reactions. Compared to the three-dose schedule (15-30 years group), the two-dose HPV vaccination schedule (9-14 years group) significantly reduced the incidence of adverse reactions and improved vaccination compliance.
