Objective:To systematically evaluate the incidence and influencing factors of emergence agitation (EA) after general anesthesia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods:Literature on EA after general anesthesia in adult patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery was electronically retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The search period was from the establishment of the database to June 1, 2024. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, conducted quality assessments, and used RevMan 5.3 to perform the Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 22 studies were included, involving 16 853 patients. Meta-analysis indicated that the incidence of EA after general anesthesia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery was 18.00%. Advanced age, male, high anesthesia grade, obesity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, preoperative anxiety, preoperative benzodiazepine use, high preoperative leukocyte, low preoperative serum albumin, prolonged operative time, intraoperative hypothermia, type of surgery, inhalation anesthesia, hypoxemia during emergence, pain during emergence, indwelling urinary catheter, and indwelling drainage tube were risk factors for EA ( P<0.05). The use of dexmedetomidine during surgery and analgesic pump after surgery were protective factors for EA ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The EA in patients undergoing general anesthesia for non-cardiac surgery is the result of multiple factors acting together. Clinical healthcare providers should enhance their ability to identify risk factors for EA and implement targeted interventions at an early stage to improve the quality of patient awakening and clinical outcomes.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) combined with rehabilitation training in recovery of upper limb function in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) through Meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized controlled trials on upper limb motor dysfunction in IS patients accepted VNS published in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were retrieved. The retrieval period was from establishment of the databases to April 2025. Quality of the trials was assessed according to Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews of interventions (version 5.1). Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the risk of bias of the included articles; and then, Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.4 software.Results:Eleven articles of randomized controlled trails were chosen, including 495 patients. Three articles were rated as A-level in terms of quality, and 8 were rated as B-level. Overall bias risk of the included studies was low. Results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group (rehabilitation training alone), the intervention group (VNS combined with rehabilitation training) had significantly improved upper limb motor function (Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper limb motor function: standardized mean difference [ SMD]=0.77, 95% CI: 0.24-1.30, P<0.001) and activities of daily living (modified Barthel index: SMD=0.86, 95% CI: 0.56-1.16, P<0.001). Meanwhile, compared with those in the control group, incidence of adverse events ( RR=1.12, 95% CI: 0.95-1.33, P=0.170) and incidence of severe adverse events ( RR=1.67, 95% CI: 0.51-5.50, P=0.400) in the intervention group did not significantly increase. Results of subgroup analysis showed that compared with that in the control group, more significantly improved upper limb motor function was noted in patients from the non-invasive VNS intervention sub-group ( SMD=1.09, 95% CI: 0.46-1.72, P<0.001), intervention sub-group with a frequency of 5 times per week ( SMD=1.73, 95% CI: 0.58-2.87, P<0.001), and intervention sub-group with a duration of 4 weeks ( SMD=1.09, 95%CI: 0.72-1.47, P<0.001). Conclusion:VNS combined with rehabilitation training has good safety and efficacy in upper limb motor dysfunction after IS.

Objective To explore the mechanism of TubA in the treatment of ulcerative colitis in mice,and to lay a foundation for the treatment strategy of ulcerative colitis.Methods Twenty C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=5):the control group drank pure water every day,the model group and the treatment groups drank 3％dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)every day,and the treatment groups were injected with 10 mg/kg TubA and 20 mg/kg TubA every day from the third day,respectively.The weight changes of mice in all groups were recorded.Nine days later,the serum of mice was collected,and the expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-10 in serum were detected by ELISA.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the mouse colon.The expression of myeloperoxidase(MPO)was detected by immunohistochemistry,the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-10 were detected by RT-qPCR,and the expressions of GPX4 and FTH were detected by immunohistochemistry.The mRNA and protein expression levels of GPX4,GCLM,FTH,Nrf2,Keap1 and HO-1 in colon tissues were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Results Compared with the control group,the body weight and colon length of the model group decreased significantly.HE staining showed that inflammatory cells infiltrated the mucosa and submucosa of colon tissue,goblet cells were lost and crypt structure disordered and disappeared.Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of MPO and FTH proteins were significantly increased,while the expression of GPX4 protein was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly increased,while the mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-10 were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The mRNA and protein expression levels of FTH,Nrf2 and HO-1 were significantly increased,while the mRNA and protein expression levels of GPX4,GCLM and Keap1 were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).After TubA treatment,compared with the model group,all these changes mentioned above suppressed(P＜0.05).Conclusion TubA may reduce ulcerative colitis symptoms by inhibiting ferroptosis,providing new ideas for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

The clinical features,imaging data and prognosis of 2 patients with spinal cord infarction were summarized.Both patients presented with acute onset paraplegia and urinary retention.Spinal MRI showed high T2 signal and limited diffusion in the spinal cord.Patient 1 had spinal inflammatory changes and disc calcification and herniation at the T6 level.Cervical disc herniation was found in case 2 and the spinal lesions were all adjacent to the spinal infarct plane,but could not directly cause acute or chronic spinal cord compression.The clinical manifestations of two patients were acute stroke events.After the diagnosis of spinal cord infarction was confirmed,anti-platelet aggregation or anticoagulation and rehabilitation therapy were given,and the limb function of the patients gradually recovered to close to normal.The incidence of fibrocartilage embolism(FCE)associated with spinal disc disease is rare,and there is no consensus on treatment.This case provides experience and broadens thinking for the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of spinal cord infarction.

An 87-year-old female patient with hypertension was given 3 Suhuang Zhike capsules (0.45 g/capsule) for cough. Half an hour after medication, the patient suddenly developed limbs tremor, accompanied by palpitation and sweating. The symptoms lasted for about 10 minutes and relieved spontaneously. Her blood pressure was 145/79 mmHg. Her nervous system examination showed no abnormality; blood glucose, electrolyte, thyroid function, and liver and kidney function were all normal; and electroencephalogram and cranial computed tomography showed no obvious abnormality. Ephedrine in Suhuang Zhike capsules was considered to be related to her symptoms. The drug was stopped and oral alprazolam 0.4 mg was given twice daily. The symptoms of limbs tremor did not recur in the patient.
