Objective To investigate the relationship between the protective mechanism of dexmedetomidine(Dex)against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury and cuproptosis.Methods The Langendorff models were con-structed using SD rats(I/R group),which were divided into 4 groups according to different interventions during reperfusion as:sham group,I/R group,Dex group and Dex+ES-Cu group.The left ventricular peak pressure(LVSP)of the rats in the above four groups were continuously monitored in the immediate pre-ischemic period(T0),30 min of reperfusion(T1),60 min reperfusion(T2),90 min reperfusion(T3),2 h of reperfusion(T4).Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP),heart rate(HR),maximum rate of rise of left ventricular pressure(+dp/dtmax)and maximum rate of drop.Subsequently,the extent of myocardial infarction was shown by 1%triphenyltetrazoliumchloride(TTC)staining,and the degree of myocardial fibrosis was assessed by Sirius red staining;Myocardial enzyme profiles,oxidative stress and inflammation indexes were detected by ELISA;Copper ions were detected by copper ion detection kit in myocardial tissues;ATF3,SPI1 and FDX1 protein level expres-sion was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the sham-operated group,the extent of myocardial in-farction and fibrosis increased in the I/R group(P＜0.05),the level of serum MDA,IL-6,IL-1β,and TNF-α was elevated(P＜0.05),and the activity of SOD and GSH-Px decreased(P＜0.05).The Dex group significantly alleviated the above changes in the I/R group,and compared with the Dex group,in the Dex+ES-Cu group myocardi-al tissue copper ion content at the end of perfusion was increased(P＜0.05).Both ATF3 and SPI1 protein were in-creased and FDX1 protein was decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusions Dex can regulate copper metabolism and improve myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MI/RI)resulted from oxidative stress and inflammation in rat model.

Objective This study aims to compare the efficacy of video stylets and video laryngoscopes in facilitating nasotracheal intubation during oral surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients,aged between 18 and 70 years old,with ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective oral surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly assigned to either the video stylet group(Group N)or the video laryngoscope group(Group C),with 40 patients in each group.In Group N,a video stylet was used to shape the tracheal tube at a 90-degree angle,with the shaping position being the vertical distance from the Adam's apple to the nostril.The tube was inserted from the nasal cavity into the throat under direct visualization,and positioned behind the glottis.In Group C,the tube was initially blindly inserted into the nasal cavity without a core.Upon reaching the throat,a video laryngoscope was employed to lift the epiglottis and expose the glottis from the mouth.The tube was then inserted with the aid of intubation forceps or cuff inflation.The primary outcome measure was the intubation time.Additional measures included the time taken for nasal passage,glottis exposure,and the number of intubation attempts and assistant interventions required.Vital signs,including MAP and HR,were recorded at five minutes of quiet rest upon entering the room(T0),during glottis exposure(T1),upon passage of the tube through the glottis(T2),and one minute after the tube entered the trachea(T3).Complications such as epistaxis,oral mucosal bleeding,loose incisors,and postop-erative sore throat were also documented.Results The intubation time and nasal passage time in Group N were significantly shorter than those in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cuff inflations and intubation forceps assisted cases in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of glottis exposure time,first successful intubation times,C-L glottis classification,and mandibular lift-assisted intubation(P>0.05).The increase in MAP and HR in Group N at T1 and T2 was signifi-cantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cases with mild epistaxis in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).Similarly,the number of cases with loose incisors and oral mucosal bleeding in Group N was significantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared to the video laryngoscope,the video stylet-guided nasotracheal intubation results in a shorter intubation time,less damage to the oronasopharynx,eliminates the need for intubation forceps,and reduces the patient's stress and vascular stress response during intubation.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical and prognostic differences in acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) children under different diagnostic criteria (World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 and WHO 2022 criteria).Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical characteristics and prognosis information of 260 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) children admitted to Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from August 2017 to August 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. According to WHO 2016 and WHO 2022 diagnostic criteria, patients were divided into AML-MRC group and non-AML-MRC group, the prognostic and genetic differences between two groups were compared respectively. Meanwhile, the characteristics of children with 8 MRC-related genes defined in WHO 2022 diagnostic criteria were described. Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test were used for comparison between groups. Survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier method, and comparison between groups was performed by Log-Rank method. Results:Among the 260 children, there were 148 males and 112 females. The follow-up time was 26 (16, 38) months. A total of 28 children (10.8%) were diagnosed with AML-MRC according to the WHO 2016 diagnostic criteria. Compared with non-AML-MRC children, the frequency of PTPN11, RUNX11, SH2B3, MPL and STAG2 mutations was higher in AML-MRC children (25.0% (7/28) vs. 4.3% (10/232), 14.3% (4/28) vs. 3.9% (9/232), 10.7% (3/28) vs. 2.2% (5/232), 10.7% (3/28) vs. 2.2% (5/232), 10.7% (3/28) vs. 0.9% (2/232), all P<0.05). The 2-year overall survival (OS) and events free survival (EFS) rate of 28 AML-MRC children under WHO 2016 diagnostic criteria were worse than those of 232 non-AML-MRC children ((62.1±10.8)% vs. (94.5±1.6)%, χ2=22.1 ,P<0.001;(48.0±10.6)% vs. (70.9±3.2)%, χ2=6.33, P=0.012). Twenty-seven children (10.4%) were eventually diagnosed with AML-MRC according to WHO 2022 criteria, their 2-year OS rate were worse than 233 non-AML-MRC children ((60.8±11.1)% vs. (94.5±1.6)%, χ2=24.49 ,P<0.001), and there was no statistically significant difference in EFS rate between two groups at 2 years ((55.1±10.8)% vs. (70.1±3.2)%, χ2=2.44 , P=0.119). Conclusions:Compared with the 2022 WHO diagnostic criteria, the survival rates of children with AML-MRC under the 2016 WHO diagnostic criteria were worse than that of children without MRC.The new version of the AML-MRC diagnostic criteria emphasizes the importance of genes.

Objective To evaluate the Nociception Index(NOX)combined with Bispectral Index(BIS)monitoring of anesthesia management during laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer.Methods A total of 80 patients,regardless of gender,aged 50 to 80 years old,and ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,chose to undergo elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery under total intravenous anesthesia.They were randomly divided into two groups:NOX combined with BIS group(Group N)and BIS alone group(Group C),with 40 cases in each group.Group N maintains an appropriate analgesia depth(NOX value is 30～50)and sedation depth(BIS value is 40～60),and group C maintains an appropriate sedation depth(BIS 40～60)and is covered with opaque cards Hide NOX and adjust the appropriate analgesia depth based on the experience of the anesthesiologist.The main observational indi-cator is the intraoperative remifentanil dosage,and the secondary observational indicators include the intraoperative propofol and cisatracurium dosage,vasoactive drug use,anesthesia recovery and extubation time,postoperative NRS pain score and sufen.The dosage of Titanyl,adverse reactions such as agitation in the postoperative recovery period,postoperative nausea and vomiting,dizziness,and intraoperative awareness.Results The amount of remi-fentanil used during the operation in group N was significantly less than that in group C(P＜0.05).The time of postoperative recovery and extubation in group N was significantly earlier than that in group C(P＜0.05).The number of cases of intraoperative use of vasoactive drugs,the incidence of postoperative agitation during recovery,postoperative nausea and vomiting,and dizziness in group N were significantly lower than those in group C(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the amount of propofol and cis-atracurium used during surgery and the incidence of awareness between the two groups(P＞0.05).The NRS scores of patients in group N were signifi-cantly lower than those in group C at 2,4,6,and 24 hours after surgery(P＜0.05),while there was no signifi-cant difference in the NRS scores between the two groups at 48 hours after surgery(P＞0.05).The consumption of sufentanil in group N was significantly lower than that in group C during the first 12 hours and 12 to 24 hours after surgery(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the consumption of sufentanil between the two groups during the second 24 to 48 hours after surgery(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with BIS monitoring alone,the use of NOX combined with BIS monitoring can maintain relatively stable intraoperative hemodynamics,reduce the amount of general anesthesia drugs,accelerate postoperative anesthesia recovery,improve the quality of anesthesia recovery,and reduce acute postoperative pain,which is beneficial to patients postoperative recovery.

Objective:To investigate the effects of biologics on psychological status and quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 42 hospitals in 22 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) from September 2021 to May 2022. General clinical information and the use of biologics were obtained from adult patients diagnosed with IBD who voluntarily participated in the study. Psychological status was evaluated using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) assessment tools. Counts were analyzed via the Chi-square test, and datasets that were not normally distributed were analyzed via nonparametric tests. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 2 478 valid questionnaires were collected. The GAD-7 score of the biologics group was significantly lower than that of the non-use group [6 (2, 9) vs. 7 (3, 10), Z=-3.49, P<0.001]. IBDQ scores [183 (158, 204) vs. 178 (152, 198), Z=-4.11, P<0.001], intestinal symptom scores [61 (52, 67) vs. 58 (49, 65), Z=-5.41, P<0.001], systemic symptom scores [28 (24, 32) vs. 27 (23, 31), Z=-2.37, P=0.018], emotional ability scores [69 (58, 77) vs. 67 (56, 75), Z=-3.58, P<0.001] and social ability scores [26 (22, 29) vs. 25 (22, 29), Z=-2.52, P=0.012] in the biologics group were significantly higher than in the non-use group. GAD-7 scores [5 (2, 9) vs. 6 (3, 10), Z=-3.50, P<0.001] and PSQI scores [6 (4, 9) vs. 6 (4, 9), Z=-2.55, P=0.011] were significantly lower in the group using infliximab than in the group not using it. IBDQ scores were significantly higher in patients using vedolizumab than in those not using it [186 (159, 205) vs. 181 (155, 201), Z=-2.32, P=0.021] and were also significantly higher in the group treated with adalimumab than in the group not treated with adalimumab [187 (159, 209) vs. 181 (155, 201), Z=-2.16, P=0.030]. However, ustekinumab had no significant effect on any of the scores. Conclusion:The use of biologics is strongly associated with improvements in anxiety status and quality of life in IBD patients.

Purpose: The unique chromosomal rearrangements of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) make it possible to distinguish high-grade ESS (HGESS) and low-grade ESS (LGESS) from the molecular perspective. Analysis of ESS at the genomic and transcriptomic levels can help us achieve accurate diagnosis of ESS and provide potential therapy options for ESS patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 36 ESS patients who conducted DNA- and/or RNA-based next-generation sequencing were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The molecular characteristics of ESS at genomic and transcriptomic levels, including mutational spectrum, fusion profiles, gene expression and pathway enrichment analysis and features about immune microenvironment were comprehensively explored. Results: TP53 and DNMT3A mutations were the most frequent mutations. The classical fusions frequently found in HGESS (ZC3H7B-BCOR and NUTM2B-YWHAE) and LGESS (JAZF1-SUZ12) were detected in our cohort. CCND1 was significantly up-regulated in HGESS, while the expression of GPER1 and PGR encoding estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) did not differ significantly between HGESS and LGESS. Actionable mutations enriched in homologous recombination repair, cell cycle, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin pathways were detected in 60% of HGESS patients. Genes with up-regulated expression in HGESS were significantly enriched in five immune-related pathways. Most HGESS patients (85.7%) had positive predictors of immunotherapy efficacy. Moreover, immune microenvironment analysis showed that HGESS had relatively high immune infiltration. The degree of immune infiltration in HGESS patients with ZC3H7B-BCOR fusion was relatively higher than that of those with NUTM2B-YWHAE fusion. Conclusion This study investigated the molecular characteristics of ESS patients at the genomic and transcriptomic levels and revealed the potentially high sensitivity of targeted therapy and immunotherapy in a subset of HGESS with specific molecular features, providing a basis for guiding decision-making of treatment and the design of future clinical trials on precision therapy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based integrated deep learning model for predicting the times of linear staplers used in double stapling technique for middle-low rectal cancer resection.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 263 patients who underwent low anterior resection (LAR) for middle-low rectal cancer in Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2022 were collected as training dataset. There were 183 males and 80 females, aged 63(55,68)years. The clinicopathological data of 128 patients with middle-low rectal cancer were collected as validation dataset, including 83 males and 45 females, with age as 65(57,70)years. The training dataset was used to construct the prediction model, and the validation dataset was used to validate the prediction model. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological features of patients in the training dataset; (2) influencing factors for ≥3 times using of linear staplers in the operation; (3) prediction model construction; (4) efficiency evaluation of prediction model; (5) validation of prediction model. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for non-parametric data analysis. Univariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model, and multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic stepwise regression model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was draw and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The AUC of the ROC curve >0.75 indicated the prediction model as acceptable. Comparison of AUC was conducted using the Delong test. Results:(1) Clinicopathological features of patients in the training dataset. Of the 263 patients, there were 48 cases with linear staplers used in the operation ≥3 times and 215 cases with linear staplers used in the operation ≤2 times. Cases with preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) >5 μg/L, cases with anastomotic leakage, cases with tumor diameter ≥5 cm were 20, 12, 13 in the 48 cases with linear staplers used ≥3 times in the operation, versus 56, 26, 21 in the 215 cases with linear staplers used ≤2 times in the operation, showing significant differences in the above indicators between them ( χ2=4.66, 5.29, 10.45, P<0.05). (2) Influencing factors for ≥3 times using of linear staplers in the operation. Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative serum CEA >5 μg/L and tumor diameter ≥5 cm were independent risk factors for ≥3 times using of linear staplers in the operation ( odds ratio=2.26, 3.39, 95% confidence interval as 1.15-4.43, 1.50-7.65, P<0.05). (3) Prediction model construction. According to the results of multivariate analysis, the clinical prediction model was established as Logit(P)=-2.018+0.814×preoperative serum CEA (>5 μg/L as 1, ≤5 μg/L as 0)+ 1.222×tumor diameter (≥5 cm as 1, <5 cm as 0). The image data segmented by the Mask region convolutional neural network (MASK R-CNN) was input into the three-dimensional convolutional neural network (C3D), and the image prediction model was constructed by training. The image data segmented by the MASK R-CNN and the clinical independent risk factors were input into the C3D, and the integrated prediction model was constructed by training. (4) Efficiency evaluation of prediction model. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the clinical prediction model was 70.0%, 81.0% and 79.4%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.51. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the image prediction model was 50.0%, 98.3% and 91.2%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.48. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the integrated prediction model was 70.0%, 98.3% and 94.1%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.68. The AUC of clinical prediction model, image prediction model and integrated prediction model was 0.72(95% confidence interval as 0.61-0.83), 0.81(95% confidence interval as 0.71-0.91) and 0.88(95% confidence interval as 0.81-0.95), respectively. There were significant differences in the efficacy between the integrated prediction model and the image prediction model or the clinical prediction model ( Z=2.98, 2.48, P<0.05). (5) Validation of prediction model. The three prediction models were externally validated by validation dataset. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the clinical prediction model was 62.5%, 66.1% and 65.6%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.29. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the image prediction model was 58.8%, 95.5% and 92.1%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.64. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the integrated prediction model was 68.8%, 97.3% and 93.8%, respectively, with the Yoden index as 0.66. The AUC of clinical prediction model, image prediction model and integrated prediction model was 0.65(95% confidence interval as 0.55-0.75), 0.75(95% confidence interval as 0.66-0.84) and 0.84(95% confidence interval as 0.74-0.93), respec-tively. There was significant differences in the efficacy between the clinical prediction model and the integrated prediction model ( Z=3.24, P<0.05). Conclusion:The MRI-based deep-learning model can help predicting the high-risk population with ≥3 times using of linear staplers in resection of middle-low rectal cancer with double stapling technique.
