Esketamine is an antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and exerts antianxiety, hypnotic, sedative, and analgesic effects by interacting with NMDA receptors, opioid receptors, M - choline receptors, monoamine receptors, adenosine receptors, and other purine receptors. As the more potents isomer of ketamine, it is about twice as potent as ketamine. Compared with ketamine, esketamine has the characteristics of rapid onset and metabolism, strong analgesia, slight respiratory depression, rapid recovery of cognitive function, and low incidence of psychiatric side effects. It has become a new choice of pediatric anesthesia drugs. This article reviews the pharmacological properties of esketamine and its recent application in pediatric anesthesia, and provides reference for the safe use of esketamine in pediatric perioperative period.

Objective:To investigate the prospective association of sleep duration with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults in Suzhou.Methods:The study used the data of 53 269 participants aged 30-79 years recruited in the baseline survey from 2004 to 2008 and the follow-up until December 31, 2017 of China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) conducted in Wuzhong District, Suzhou. After excluding participants with airflow limitation, self-reported chronic bronchitis/emphysema/coronary heart disease history at the baseline survey and abnormal or incomplete data, a total of 45 336 participants were included in the final analysis. The association between daily sleep duration and the risk for developing COPD was analyzed by using a Cox proportional hazard regression model, and the hazard ratio ( HR) values and their 95% CI were calculated. The analysis was stratified by age, gender and lifestyle factors, and cross-analysis was conducted according to smoking status and daily sleep duration. Results:The median follow-up time was 11.12 years, with a total of 515 COPD diagnoses in the follow-up. After adjusting for potential confounders, multifactorial Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that daily sleep duration ≥10 hours was associated with higher risk for developing COPD ( HR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.03-1.97). The cross analysis showed that excessive daily sleep duration increased the risk for COPD in smokers ( HR=2.49, 95% CI: 1.35-4.59, interaction P<0.001). Conclusion:Longer daily sleep duration (≥10 hours) might increase the risk for COPD in adults in Suzhou, especially in smokers.

Propofol,as a widely used intravenous anesthetic,has been found to have the potential of anti-tumor growth and metastasis in recent years.At present,the research on the mechanism of pro-pofol inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis is still relatively limited.In this paper,we summarize the recent studies on the role of propofol in inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis and its possible mo-lecular mechanisms,such as regulating specific sig-naling pathways or key molecules,and interacting with other molecules.At the same time,the appli-cation of propofol,including the optimization of ad-ministration route and dose,as well as the possibili-ty of being an adjunct therapy to radiotherapy and chemotherapy,was analyzed,and the recent stud-ies on the mechanism of propofol inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis were reviewed,providing a reference for further exploration of the application and research direction of propofol in clinical anti-tu-mor growth and metastasis therapy.

Objective:To investigate a time series deep learning model for respiratory motion prediction.Methods:Eighty pieces of respiratory motion data from lung cancer patients were used in this study. They were divided into a training set and a test set at a ratio of 8∶2. The Informer deep learning network was employed to predict the respiratory motions with a latency of about 600 ms. The model performance was evaluated based on normalized root mean square errors (nRMSEs) and relative root mean square errors (rRMSEs).Results:The Informer model outperformed the conventional multilayer perceptron (MLP) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models. The Informer model yielded an average nRMSE and rRMSE of 0.270 and 0.365, respectively, at a prediction time of 423 ms, and 0.380 and 0.379, respectively, at a prediction time of 615 ms.Conclusions:The Informer model performs well in the case of a longer prediction time and has potential application value for improving the effects of the real-time tracking technology.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of nontuberculous mycobacteria(NTM),and to provide guidance for the selection of targeted agents in clinical treatment. Methods The clinical data of inpatients in our hospital from April 2019 to February 2021 were collected,the culture and strain identification of non tuberculosis mycobacteria were carried out,the drug sensitivity test of anti tuberculosis drugs was carried out,and the drug resistance of non tuberculosis mycobacteria to first-line anti tuberculosis drugs was analyzed. Results A total of 1 326 strains of mycobacterium were isolated,including 1 154(87.03%)strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis and 172(12.97%)strains of non-mycobacterium tuberculosis.Nine species of nontuberculous mycobacteria were detected,including slow-growing mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex,belonging to Groups I-III,and fast-growing mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium chelonae and Mycobacterium smegmatis,belonging to Group IV. Among them , Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex and Mycobacterium chelonae were dominant,accounting for 26.16%and 36.63%,respectively.Drug susceptibility tests showed that the resistance rate of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex to streptomycin was 100.00%,the drug resistance rate of Mycobacterium chelonae to isoniazid,rifampicin and streptomycin was 100.00%,and the drug resistance rate of Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium abscessus to most antibacterial drugs was 100.00%.The resistance rate of major NTM bacteria to clarithromycin was relatively low.There was no statistically significant difference in the susceptibility rates of slow and fast-growing mycobacteria to isoniazid and clarithromycin(P>0.05) ; The susceptibility rates of slow-growing mycobacteria to amikacin,clarithromycin and rifambutin were 62.86%,92.86%and 72.86%,all above 50.00%.The susceptibility rate of the fast-growing mycobacteria to clarithromycin was also more than 50.00%,being 87.25%.The susceptibility rate of slow-growing mycobacteria to other antibiotics was higher than that of fast-growing mycobacteria(P<0.05).The drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to first-line anti tuberculosis drugs was significantly lower than that of non Mycobacterium tuberculosis(P<0.05). Conclusion Non-tuberculous mycobacteria have high drug resistance,especially fast-growing mycobacteria,so drug susceptibility tests are of great value in clinical treatment.

Objective:To analyze the phenotype and genotype of two propositi with inherited hypodysfibrinogenaemia caused by compound heterozygous mutations, and investigate the molecular mechanism.Metheds:Two propositi and their family members(7 person in 3 generations and 10 person in 3 generations,respectively) were investigated. The activity of plasma fibrinogen (Fg:C) and thrombin time (TT) were analyzed by coagulation method, the antigen of plasma fibrinogen (Fg:Ag) was detected by immunoturbidimetry. All of the exons and flanking sequences of FGA,FGB,FGG of two propositi were amplified by PCR, followed by direct sequencing. The ClustalX-2, 1-win software was used to analyze the conservatism of mutated gene locus. PROVEAN and Mutation Taster were applied to analyze the pathogenicity of mutated amino acid. The changes of the protein spatial structure and intermolecular interaction were analyzed by Pymol.Results:Fg:C and Fg:Ag of proposita A and B were both significantly decreased (0.74 and 0.78 g/L, 0.96 and 0.94 g/L, respectively). Gene analysis revealed that proposita A and B both carried a heterozygous mutation c.2185G>A(p.AαGlu710Lys) in exon 6 of FGA. Furthermore, proposita A also carried a heterozygous mutation c.701G>T(p.γTrp208Leu) in exon 7 of FGG, and proposita B carried a heterozygous mutation c.1015A>C(p.γSer313Arg) in exon 8 of FGG. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that p.AαGlu710,p.γTrp208 and p.γSer313 were highly conserved among homologous species. All variants were predicted to be deleterious by two online bioinformatic softwares. The protein model analysis indicated that protein spatial structure and intermolecular hydrogen bonds were changed by these variants, which destroyed the stability of Fg.Conclusion:The compound heterozygous mutations of p.AαGlu710Lys and p.γTrp208Leu,p.AαGlu710Lys and p.γSer313Arg might account for the hypodysfibrinogenemia in two propositi.
