OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of ropivacaine combined with oxycodone for the analgesia of iliac fascia nerve block in patients undergoing hip replacement. METHODS Sixty-six patients who underwent hip replacement at the Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture from October 2023 to April 2024 were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group， with 33 cases in each group. Before induction of anesthesia， ultrasound-guided iliac fascial nerve block was performed. Patients in the observation group were treated with 0.33% ropivacaine+0.1 mg/kg oxycodone injection mixture 30 mL， and patients in the control group were treated with 0.33% ropivacaine injection 30 mL. The time of first postoperative rescue analgesia， 24 h postoperative analgesic drug consumption， sensory block and motor block effective and maintenance time， satisfaction degree， numerical rating scale （NRS） pain score， Ramsay sedation score， muscle strength score， heart rate （HR）， mean arterial pressure （MAP）， oxygen saturation（SpO2）， sleep score， anxiety score， and the occurrence of adverse reactions in the two groups were all recorded. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the first rescue analgesia time after operation was significantly prolonged in the observation group， and 24 h postoperative analgesic drug consumption after operation decreased； the effective time of sensory block was significantly shortened， and the maintenance time of sensory block was significantly prolonged， and the satisfaction score was higher； the NRS pain score after iliac fascia nerve block was lower， HR and MAP were lower， and the anxiety score and sleep score 24 and 48 h after operation were lower （P＜0.05）. In terms of safety， patients in both groups had adverse reactions after operation， such as hypertension， nausea， vomiting， and dizziness， but there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Oxycodone combined with ropivacaine shows good efficacy and safety for iliac fascial nerve block analgesia in patients undergoing hip replacement， can significantly prolong the analgesic time of ropivacaine， reduce postoperative analgesic drug consumption， improve the sleep quality of patients， and promote the rapid recovery of patients.

This study aimed to comprehensively examine the association of gallstones, cholecystectomy, and cancer risk. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to estimate the observational associations of gallstones and cholecystectomy with cancer risk, using data from a nationwide cohort involving 239 799 participants. General and gender-specific two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was further conducted to assess the causalities of the observed associations. Observationally, a history of gallstones without cholecystectomy was associated with a high risk of stomach cancer (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=2.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50-4.28), liver and bile duct cancer (aOR=2.46, 95% CI 1.17-5.16), kidney cancer (aOR=2.04, 95% CI 1.05-3.94), and bladder cancer (aOR=2.23, 95% CI 1.01-5.13) in the general population, as well as cervical cancer (aOR=1.69, 95% CI 1.12-2.56) in women. Moreover, cholecystectomy was associated with high odds of stomach cancer (aOR=2.41, 95% CI 1.29-4.49), colorectal cancer (aOR=1.83, 95% CI 1.18-2.85), and cancer of liver and bile duct (aOR=2.58, 95% CI 1.11-6.02). MR analysis only supported the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer. This study added evidence to the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer, highlighting the importance of cancer screening in individuals with gallstones.

Background/Aims: Low educational attainment is a well-established risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in developed areas. However, the association between educational attainment and the risk of NAFLD is less clear in China. Methods: A cross-sectional study including over 200,000 Chinese adults across mainland China was conducted. Information on education level and lifestyle factors were obtained through standard questionnaires, while NAFLD and advanced fibrosis were diagnosed using validated formulas. Outcomes included the risk of NAFLD in the general population and high probability of fibrosis among patients with NAFLD. Logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the risk of NAFLD and fibrosis across education levels. A causal mediation model was used to explore the potential mediators. Results: Comparing with those receiving primary school education, the multi-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for NAFLD were 1.28 (1.16 to 1.41) for men and 0.94 (0.89 to 0.99) for women with college education after accounting for body mass index. When considering waist circumference, the odds ratios (95% CIs) were 0.94 (0.86 to 1.04) for men and 0.88 (0.80 to 0.97) for women, respectively. The proportions mediated by general and central obesity were 51.00% and 68.04% for men, while for women the proportions were 48.58% and 32.58%, respectively. Furthermore, NAFLD patients with lower educational attainment showed an incremental increased risk of advanced fibrosis in both genders. Conclusions In China, a low education level was associated with a higher risk of prevalent NAFLD in women, as well as high probability of fibrosis in both genders.

Objective: Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was used to predict the incidence of tuberculosis in China from 2018 to 2019, providing references for the prevention and control of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: The monthly incidence data of tuberculosis in China were collected from January 2005 to December 2017. R 3.4.4 software was used to establish the ARIMA model, based on the monthly incidence data of tuberculosis from January 2005 to June 2017. Both predicted and actual data from July to December 2017 were compared to verify the effectiveness of this model, and the number of tuberculosis cases in 2018-2019 also predicted. Results: From 2005 to 2017, a total of 13 022 675 cases of tuberculosis were reported, the number of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in 2017 was 33.68% lower than that in 2005, and the seasonal character was obvious, with the incidence in winter and spring was higher than that in other seasons. According to the incidence data from 2005 to 2017, we established the model of ARIMA (0,1,2)(0,1,0)₁₂. The relative error between the predicted and actual values of July to December 2017 fitted by the model ranged from 1.67% to 6.80%, and the predicted number of patients in 2018 and 2019 were 789 509 and 760 165 respectively. Conclusion The ARIMA (0, 1, 2)(0, 1, 0)₁₂ model well predicted the incidence of tuberculosis, thus can be used for short-term prediction and dynamic analysis of tuberculosis in China, with good application value.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of thoracic paravertebral nerve block on radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors. Methods A total of 40 patients underwent radiofrequency ablation of liver tumor, were ran-domly divided into target-controlled infusion group(group G,n=20)and paravertebral nerve block group (group P,n=20). The intraoperative vital signs, anesthesia effects,anesthesia work time, total operation time,postanesthesia care unit stay time, major adverse clinical events and postoperative VAS scores of two groups were recorded and compared. Results The anesthesia satisfactory rate of G group was 95% and P group was 100%. After anesthesia induction MAP,HR,SPO2 and R declined significantly in group G. Compared with group G,intraoperative vital signs were more stable in group P. Major adverse clinical events in group P were less than group G (P<0.05). The effecting time in group P was longer than group G. The postanesthesia care unit stay time was longer in group G than group P(P<0.05). The post-operative VAS scores in group P declined much more than those in group G before 24 hours postoperatively(P<0.05). Conclusion Thoracic paravertebral nerve block for anesthesia in liver tumors underwent radiofrequency ablation is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the effects of continuous wound infusion of ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia on local inflammation.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 45-64 yr,weighing 45-80 kg,undergoing simple nephrectomy,were randomized into either continusous wound infusion of local anesthetic group ( group CWI ) or control group ( group C),with 20 cases each.Group CWI were treated with continuous wound infusion of 0.25％ ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia,while group C were infused with the same volume of normal saline.All patients received patient-controlled analgesia with intravenous morphine.At 6,12,24 and 48 h after operation,the accumulated consumption of morphine was documented,and the concentration of prostaglandinE2 (PGE2) of drainage was determined using ELISA.Results Compared with group C,the accumulated consumption of morphine was decreased,and the PGE2 concentration was decreased in group CWI at each time points.Conclusion The mechanism of postoperative analgesic effect of continuous wound infusion of ropivacaine is related to the suppression of local inflammation in wound sites.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for postoperative delirium in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Methods From September-December 2009, 480 patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery were included in this study. The criteria for enrolment of the patients in this study were (1) age ≥ 65 yr,(2) age ＜ 65 yr if associated with coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, brain injury, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarct, emphysema, chronic bronchitis; duration of operation ≥ 3 h and intraoperative blood loss was expected to exceed 20% of blood volume. The diagnosis of delirium was based on Confusion Assessment Method (CAM). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for postoperative delirium.Results Postoperative delirium developed in 79 patients during the first three postoperative days. The incidence of postoperative delirium was 16.5%. The logistic stepwise regression analysis indicated that the risk factors for delirium included advanced age, method of anesthesia, long operation, postoperative pain, emphysema and alcholic. Conclusion Age, method of anesthesia, long operation, postoperative pain, emphysema and alcholic are risk factors for postoperative delirium in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
