OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided high fascia iliaca compartment block (HFICB) in managing tourniquet-related pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 84 patients with severe knee osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis who underwent unilateral TKA between March 2024 and December 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups ( n=42) using a random number table. In the trial group, ultrasound-guided HFICB was performed preoperatively, with 0.2% ropivacaine injected into the fascia iliaca compartment. No intervention was administered in the control group. Baseline characteristics, including gender, age, surgical side, body mass index, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at rest and during movement, showed no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). In both groups, a tourniquet was applied after osteotomy and before pulsed lavage, and removed after the closure of the first layer of the joint capsule. Postoperative assessments were conducted at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours, including VAS scores at the tourniquet site (at rest and during movement), Bromage motor block scores, Ramsay sedation scores, and Bruggrmann comfort scale (BCS) scores to evaluate patient comfort. Additionally, the average tramadol consumption and incidence of nausea and vomiting within 48 hours postoperatively were recorded and compared. RESULTS: In the trial group and control group, VAS scores during movement at the tourniquet site significantly improved at all postoperative time points compared to preoperative levels ( P<0.05). VAS scores at rest increased transiently at 6 hours after operation in both groups, and then gradually decreased to the preoperative level. Except that there was no significant difference at 48 hours after operation in the trial group ( P>0.05), there were significant differences at other time points of two groups compared to preoperative score ( P<0.05). Except for VAS score at rest at 6 hours, VAS score during movement at 48 hours, and BCS comfort score at 48 hours ( P>0.05), the trial group showed significantly better outcomes than the control group in terms of VAS score at rest, VAS score during movement, Ramsay sedation scores, and BCS comfort scores at all other time points ( P<0.05). No significant difference was found in Bromage motor block scores between the groups ( P>0.05). Tramadol was used in 3 patients in the trial group and 7 patients in the control group within 48 hours after operation, the dosage was (133.30±14.19) mg and (172.40±22.29) mg, showing significant difference ( P<0.05). Nausea and vomiting occurred in 4 patients (9.5%) in the trial group and 3 patients (7.1%) in the control group, with no significant difference in incidence between groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Ultrasound-guided HFICB provides effective analgesia for tourniquet-related pain following TKA, facilitates early postoperative functional recovery of the knee joint, and may serve as a valuable clinical option for postoperative pain management in TKA patients.

Dendrobium moniliforme (D. moniliforme) is a traditional medicinal herb widely cultivated in Asia. Flavonoids, one of the largest groups of secondary metabolites in plants, are significant medicinal components in Dendrobium species. Several subgroups of R2R3-MYB proteins have been validated to directly regulate flavonoid biosynthesis. Using PacBio sequencing technology, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-level D. moniliforme genome with a total length of 1.20 Gb and a contig N50 of 3.97 Mb. The BUSCO assessment of genome annotation was 91.4%. By integrating the genome and transcriptome, we identified biosynthesis pathway enzyme genes related to flavonoids, polysaccharides, carotenoids, and alkaloids. A total of 90 R2R3-MYBs were identified in D. moniliforme and classified into 21 subgroups. Studies on the functions of R2R3-MYB transcription factors revealed that R2R3-MYB in SG6 can up-regulate flavonoid biosynthesis. Various validation experiments, including subcellular localization, transient overexpression, UPLC-MS/MS, HPLC, yeast one-hybrid, and dual-luciferase assays, demonstrated that DMYB69 directly up-regulates the expression of enzyme genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, increasing the content of flavonoids such as anthocyanin, flavone, and flavonol. Additionally, DMYB44 was shown to directly up-regulate the expression of carotenoid biosynthesis enzyme genes, thereby increasing carotenoid content. This study provides an essential genome resource and theoretical basis for molecular breeding research in D. moniliforme.

Eight previously undescribed lanostane triterpenoids, including five nortriterpenoids with 26 carbons, ganothenoids A-E (1-5), and three lanostanoids, ganothenoids F-H (6-8), along with 24 known ones (9-32), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganodrma theaecolum. The structures of the novel compounds were elucidated using comprehensive spectroscopic methods, including electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) calculations. Compounds 1-32 were assessed for their neuroprotective effects against H₂O₂-induced damage in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, as well as their inhibitory activities against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and α-glucosidase. Compound 4 demonstrated the most potent neuroprotective activity against H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress by suppressing G₀/G₁ phase cell cycle arrest, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and inhibiting cell apoptosis through modulation of B-cell lymphoma 2 protein (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X-protein (Bax) protein expression. Compounds 26, 12, and 28 exhibited PTP1B inhibitory activities with IC₅₀ values ranging from 13.92 to 56.94 μmol·L^-1, while compound 12 alone displayed significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase with an IC₅₀ value of 43.56 μmol·L^-1. Additionally, enzyme kinetic analyses and molecular docking simulations were conducted for compounds 26 and 12 with PTP1B and α-glucosidase, respectively.

Background::The goal of the assisted reproductive treatment is to transfer one euploid blastocyst and to help infertile women giving birth one healthy neonate. Some algorithms have been used to assess the ploidy status of embryos derived from couples with normal chromosome, who subjected to preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) treatment. However, it is currently unknown whether artificial intelligence model can be used to assess the euploidy status of blastocyst derived from populations with chromosomal rearrangement.Methods::From February 2020 to May 2021, we collected the whole raw time-lapse videos at multiple focal planes from in vitro cultured embryos, the clinical information of couples, and the comprehensive chromosome screening results of those blastocysts that had received PGT treatment. Initially, we developed a novel deep learning model called the Attentive Multi-Focus Selection Network (AMSNet) to analyze time-lapse videos in real time and predict blastocyst formation. Building upon AMSNet, we integrated additional clinically predictive variables and created a second deep learning model, the Attentive Multi-Focus Video and Clinical Information Fusion Network (AMCFNet), to assess the euploidy status of embryos. The efficacy of the AMCFNet was further tested in embryos with parental chromosomal rearrangements. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the superiority of the model. Results::A total of 4112 embryos with complete time-lapse videos were enrolled for the blastocyst formation prediction task, and 1422 qualified blastocysts received PGT-A ( n = 589) or PGT for chromosomal structural rearrangement (PGT-SR, n = 833) were enrolled for the euploidy assessment task in this study. The AMSNet model using seven focal raw time-lapse videos has the best real-time accuracy. The real-time accuracy for AMSNet to predict blastocyst formation reached above 70% on the day 2 of embryo culture, and then increased to 80% on the day 4 of embryo culture. Combing with 4 clinical features of couples, the AUC of AMCFNet with 7 focal points increased to 0.729 in blastocysts derived from couples with chromosomal rearrangement. Conclusion::Integrating seven focal raw time-lapse images of embryos and parental clinical information, AMCFNet model have the capability of assessing euploidy status in blastocysts derived from couples with chromosomal rearrangement.

Objective To investigate the effect of balloon bionic midwifery combined with epidural analgesia on pelvic floor function in vaginal birth after cesarean section(VBAC).Methods From January 2020 to December 2021 in Nanning Maternal and Child Health Hospital,120 cases of successful vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean section were selected as study objects,and they were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.The observation group received balloon bionic midwifery combined with epidural anesthesia during labor,while the control group received only epidural anesthesia during labor.The visual analog scale(VAS)scores,degree of perineal tear,total duration of labor,postpartum blood loss,and neonatal asphyxia rate,the incidence of urinary incontinence,vaginal or uterine prolapse,and pelvic floor muscle strength and functional status of two groups were compared.Results The total duration of labor in observation group was significantly shorter than that in control group,the amount of postpartum blood loss was significantly lower than that in control group,and the incidence of urinary incontinence was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).The strength,fatigue and dynamic pressure of pelvic floor muscle in observation group were significantly better than those in control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of perineal laceration or lateral incision,vaginal and uterine prolapse between two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The use of balloon bionic midwifery combined with epidural analgesia during vaginal trial of labor after cesarean section can shorten labor duration,reduce postpartum blood loss,and improve postpartum pelvic floor function.

Objective:To discusses the variations of 7Be, 137Cs and 210Pb activity concentrations in the air in Beijing from March 16, 2021 to March 31, 2023, and their correlation with temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, barometric pressure, PM10 (only limited to 137Cs) and other meteorological parameters. Methods:A total of 60 aerosol samples were collected using the HRHA01-SFS1000/A ultra-large flowair sampler in the automatic radiation monitoring station. The activity concentrations of 7Be, 137Cs and 210Pb in the aerosol samples were measured by GMX-60 low background anti-Compton high purity germanium gamma spectrometer. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to show the correlation of the relevant parameters. Results:The seasonal mean values of 7Be activity concentration were spring 4.31 mBq/m 3, summer 3.53 mBq/m 3, autumn 3.09 mBq/m 3 and winter 2.45 mBq/m 3, respectively, ranging from 1.17 to 7.79 mBq/m 3, with the overall mean of (3.36±1.33) mBq/m 3. The activity concentration of 137Cs ranged from 0.39 to 8.49 μBq/m 3, with an average of (0.59±1.47) μBq/m 3. The average activity concentrations of 210Pb were spring 0.53 mBq/m 3, summer 0.44 mBq/m 3, autumn 0.72 mBq/m 3 and winter 0.75 mBq/m 3, respectively, ranging from 0.21 to 1.36 mBq/m 3, with an average of (0.56±0.26) mBq/m 3. The activity concentration of 7Be was correlated with temperature and pressure ( r=0.38, -0.40), the activity concentration of 137Cs was correlated with precipitation ( r=-0.41), and the activity concentration of 210Pb was correlated with temperature and pressure ( r=-0.31, 0.37). The variation of 137Cs activity concentration in the air showed an obvious seasonal pattern, and the peak value generally appears in spring of each year (March to May), which was related to the frequent spring dust in Beijing. The activity concentration of 210Pb in the air was affected by coal combustion heating in winter, and has a peak value during November to March. Conclusions:The activity concentrations of 7Be, 137Cs and 210Pb in the air in Beijing are within the normal range, showing a seasonal trend.
