ObjectiveTo compare the incidence of postoperative shivering between female patients undergoing gynecological and general surgery and to examine perioperative factors associated with postoperative shivering. MethodsThis retrospective study included 12 186 patients who underwent gynecological or general surgery between January 1, 2022, and March 15, 2024, of whom 10 884 female patients constituted the primary analysis population. Among the female patients, 1:1 nearest-neighbor propensity score matching was performed using a caliper of 0.02 on the raw propensity score scale, with exact matching on American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status. After matching, the incidence of postoperative shivering was compared using the McNemar test. Conditional logistic regression stratified by matched pair was used to assess the associations of surgical categories and perioperative factors with postoperative shivering. ResultsBefore propensity score matching, the incidences of postoperative shivering were 2.98% (28/940) in the general surgery group and 4.94% (491/9 944) in the gynecological surgery group (P=0.007). After matching, 881 matched pairs were obtained, and the absolute standardized mean differences (SMDs) for all covariates were < 0.10. The incidences of postoperative shivering were 3.06% (27/881) in the general surgery group and 4.99% (44/881) in the gynecological surgery group. The McNemar test without continuity correction yielded P=0.044, whereas the exact McNemar test showed a P value of 0.057. Unifactorial conditional logistic regression showed that gynecological surgery was associated with higher odds of postoperative shivering than general surgery [odds ratio (OR)=1.63, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-2.63, P=0.046]. However, the association was not statistically significant in the multifactorial conditional logistic regression [adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=1.62, 95%CI: 0.78-3.37, P=0.197]. Each 30-min increase in the duration of surgery was associated with 32% higher odds of postoperative shivering (aOR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.07-1.62, P=0.009). Each 1 °C increase in the minimum intraoperative body temperature was associated with lower odds of postoperative shivering, although the association did not reach statistical significance (aOR=0.32, 95%CI: 0.10-1.02, P=0.053). ConclusionAfter propensity score matching, the incidence of postoperative shivering was higher among female patients undergoing gynecological surgery than among those undergoing general surgery; however, neither the exact comparison nor the adjusted association reached statistical significance. A longer duration of surgery was associated with higher odds of postoperative shivering, whereas a higher minimum intraoperative body temperature may be associated with lower odds.

Objective:To investigate effects of Lidamycin (LDM,C-1027) on the proliferation and immunogenic transform of human Caski cervical cancer cells and to provide the basic experiment data and theoretical supports for establishment of the new immu-notherapy method mediated by LDM. Methods:MTT was used for the analysis of cell proliferation;apoptosis rate was analyzed by flow cytometry;Western blot was used to analyze the effect of LDM on the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in Caski cells;the Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of Calreticulin ( CRT ) on the cell surface. Results: Lidamycin inhibited proliferation of Caski cells significantly in the time-and dose-dependent manners;The apoptotic cell ratio induced by 5 μg/L Lidamycin was 11. 5% ,Comparing with the control group, Lidamycin treatment increased Bax but decreased Bcl-2 contents significantly within Caski cells, it also significantly increased the expression of CRT on the cell surface of Caski cells from 2. 31% to 67. 2%. Conclusion: Lidamycin has pharmacological activity in inhibiting proliferation of the human cervical Caski cells and the underlying mechanism is related with inducing the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. In the same time,Lidamycin can increase the expression of CRT on the cell surface,so it may have the ability to promote the immunogenic apoptosis of tumor cells.
