Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a series of perioperative optimization measures based on evidence-based medicine aimed at achieving rapid recovery. Existing studies have shown that ERAS can effectively reduce surgical stress, decrease the incidence of complications, shorten hospital stays, save medical costs, and improve patient satisfaction. Although lung transplantation techniques have become increasingly mature, lung transplant recipients still have a high incidence of complications during perioperative period. To further improve the perioperative survival rate of lung transplant recipients, introducing ERAS concept into the perioperative management strategy of lung transplantation is of great significance for reducing incidence of perioperative complications, promoting rapid recovery and long-term survival of lung transplant recipients. This article discusses the advances in application of ERAS concept in the perioperative management of lung transplantation, aiming to provide references for optimizing the perioperative management of lung transplant recipients and reducing perioperative complications.

Objective This study utilized regadenoson stress D-SPECT to evaluate the impact of remote ischemic precondi-tioning combined with adenosine injection in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)using D-SPECT imaging.Methods Three hundred patients requiring coronary angiography and stent implantation were randomly assigned into two groups utilizing the random number table method.The conventional treatment group(150 patients)and the experimental group(150 patients)received standard treatment for coronary heart disease PCI.The experimental group underwent two sessions of remote ischemic precon-ditioning on the day of PCI,wherein the left and right upper arms were inflated to 200 mmHg with continuous pressure for 5 minutes using a blood pressure cuff.Additionally,during the PCI procedure,adenosine was administered to the experimental group at a rate of 50 μg/(kg·min)until the end of the procedure,with other treatments aligning with the conventional treatment group.Each patient received a coronary SYNTAXⅡscore.Resting D-SPECT and regadenoson stress D-SPECT were employed to evaluate total myocardial perfusion score,total myocardial ischemia segments,and left ventricular ejection fraction across 17 segment distributions before and 7 days after PCI.Results Before PCI,the differences in the number of myocardial ischemic segments,total myocardial perfusion score,and left ven-tricular ejection fraction between the two patient groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).However,7 days post-PCI,compared with the conventional treatment group,the experimental group exhibited significantly improved numbers of myocardial ischemic segments,total myocardial perfusion score,and left ventricular ejection fraction(P<0.05).Furthermore,the differences in adverse drug reactions between the two patient groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion The combined application of remote ischemic preconditioning and adenosine injection in patients undergoing PCI is deemed safe and effective.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis.Methods This study included 46 patients with severe aortic valve stenosis who underwent TAVR and completed a six-month follow-up at the Heart Center of the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University between May 2020 and May 2023.All patients underwent a preoperative examination,mini-mental state examination(MMSE),the Montreal cognitive assessment scale(MOCA),and the following safety indicators of surgery,including immediate success rate of valve implantation,valve displacement,death,heart conduction block,perivalve leakage,coronary occlusion,stroke,approach vessel rupture,cardiac tamponade,aortic dissection,and massive bleeding.Effec-tiveness indicators included clinical symptoms,BNP,sST2,and cardiac color Doppler ultrasound preoperatively and one day,seven days,three months,and six months postoperatively.Cognitive function indicators(MMSE and MOCA),were used preoperatively and three and six months postoperatively.The efficacy of transcatheter aortic was evaluated using these indicators.Results The immediate success rate of valve implantation was 100％,with one case of valve displacement,four cases of new bundle branch block,two cases of perivalve leakage,two cases of stroke,one case of inlet vessel rupture,one case of major bleeding,and no deaths,coronary artery occlusion,car-diac tamponade,or aortic dissection.Clinical symptoms improved significantly postoperatively,with 30 cases of NYHA grades Ⅰ to Ⅱbeing significantly higher than the 18 cases preoperatively.The indicators of cardiac function,BNP,and sST2 significantly decreased,and the maximum aortic valve cross-valve flow velocity,aortic valve systolic cross-valve pressure difference,average aortic valve cross-valve pressure difference,and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter significantly improved.The MMSE and MOCA showed significant improve-ments three and six months postoperatively.Conclusion TAVR is a safe and effective method to improve cognitive function in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

Aim To study the active ingredients and mechanism of action of Xinkeshu tablets against myo-cardial ischemia by network pharmacology and ze-brafish model.Methods The anti-myocardial ische-mia activity of Xinkeshu tablets was evaluated by iso-prenaline hydrochloride(ISO)-induced zebrafish myo-cardial ischemia model and H2O2-induced H9c2 dam-age model.The active ingredients of Xinkeshu tablets were retrieved using databases such as TCMSP.The potential targets were predicted by PharmaMapper data-base.Myocardial ischemic disease targets were searched by OMIM database.The potential therapeutic targets of Xinkeshu tablets against myocardial ischemia were analyzed.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted on core targets.The active ingredients were verified by zebrafish and cell model.qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of key targets.Re-sults Xinkeshu tablets could significantly alleviate ISO-induced pericardial edema and bradycardia.It al-so could increase sinus venous-bulb aortic(SV-BA)distance and improve the cell viability.The 30 poten-tial active ingredients of Xinkeshu tables mainly acted on 30 core targets,including ALB,AKT1 and MAPK1,to regulate 627 GO items,including protein phosphorylation,negative regulation of apoptosis and positive regulation of PI3K signal transduction.KEGG results showed that 117 signaling pathways,including PI3K/Akt,FOXO and Ras,exerted anti-myocardial ischemia effect.Salvianolic acid A,lithospermic acid,rosmarinic acid,salvianolic acid D,salvianolic acid B,ginsenoside Rg2,hyperoside,3'-methoxypuerarin,3'-hydroxypuerarin and ginsenoside Rg1 could alleviate ISO-induced zebrafish myocardial ischemia and im-prove the cell viability.Xinkeshu tablets could upregu-late the expression of genes such as ras and akt1,and downregulate the expression of genes such as mapk1 and mapk8.Conclusion The active ingredients,in-cluding salvianolic acid A in Xinkeshu tablets,exert anti-myocardial ischemia effects by targeting targets,such as AKT1,MAPK1,and regulating signaling path-ways,such as PI3K/Akt,MAPK and Ras.

Objectives:To investigate the clinical feasibility of three-dimensional(3D)high-resolution late gadolinium enhancement(LGE)MRI in accessing left atrial myocardial fibrosis in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF). Methods:A total of 34 AF patients referred for hybrid surgical ablation were retrospectively enrolled in this study.3D-LGE-MRI images were acquired by Siemens 3.0 T machine and analyzed by ADAS post-processing software by two experienced radiologists to obtain parameters such as the area and the area percentage of LGE.Regional analysis was performed by one of the two radiologists at ten left atrial segments.The Kappa test was used to assess the agreement for scoring image quality,and the interclass correlation coefficient(ICC)was used to evaluate the interobserver agreement of LGE parameters.The parameters of left atrial morphology,area(and area percentage)of LGE,and location of LGE were compared between patients with persistent AF and paroxysmal AF. Results:Images of all 34 patients were considered to have diagnostic value.The scores of the overall image quality and the clarity of the left atrial wall evaluated by two radiologists were(2.88±0.64)points and(3.26±0.75)points(radiologist 1),(2.97±0.58)points and(3.24±0.70)points(radiologist 2),respectively.The corresponding Kappa values were 0.724 and 0.859.Both the area and the area percentage of LGE showed good consistency among observers,and the ICCs were 0.969 and 0.950,respectively.The difference in the area of LGE and the area percentage of LGE between patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation was similar(both P＞0.05).Compared with patients with paroxysmal AF,patients with persistent AF had a higher Utah stage and more severe myocardial fibrosis in the right inferior pulmonary vein antrum and the left atrial septum(all P＜0.05). Conclusions:3D high-resolution LGE-MRI provides a non-invasive way to visualize and quantify left atrial myocardial fibrosis.The extent of left atrial fibrosis in patients with persistent AF is more severe than that in patients with paroxysmal AF,with a preferential distribution in the right inferior pulmonary vein antrum and the left atrial septum.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 2 endoscopic spine surgeries on the biomechanical properties of normal and osteoporotic spines. Methods: Based on computed tomography images of a healthy adult volunteer, 6 finite element models were created. After validating the normal intact model, a concentrated force of 400 N and a moment of 7.5 Nm were exerted on the upper surface of L3 to simulate 6 physiological activities of the spine. Five types of indices were used to assess the biomechanical properties of the 6 models, range of motion (ROM), maximum displacement value, intervertebral disc stress, maximum stress value, and articular protrusion stress, and by combining them with finite element stress cloud. Results: In normal and osteoporotic spines, there was no meaningful change in ROM or disc stress in the 2 surgical models for the 6 motion states. Model N1 (osteoporotic percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy model) showed a decrease in maximum displacement value of 20.28% in right lateral bending. Model M2 (unilateral biportal endoscopic model) increased maximum displacement values of 16.88% and 17.82% during left and right lateral bending, respectively. The maximum stress value of L4–5 increased by 11.72% for model M2 during left rotation. In addition, using the same surgical approach, ROM, maximum displacement values, disc stress, and maximum stress values were more significant in the osteoporotic model than in the normal model. Conclusion In both normal and osteoporotic spines, both surgical approaches were less disruptive to the physiologic structure of the spine. Furthermore, using the same endoscopic spine surgery, normal spine biomechanical properties are superior to osteoporotic spines.
