Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective To explore the impact of electrostimulation biofeedback therapy combined with pelvic floor muscle training on postpartum pelvic floor function in first vaginal birth women.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of in first vaginal birth women.The control group(n=49)received pelvic floor muscle training,while the observation group(n=49)received electrostimulation biofeedback therapy in addition to pelvic floor muscle training.Com-parisons were made between the two groups before treatment and 10 weeks after treatment in terms of uterine artery blood flow indicators[peak systolic velocity(PSV),resistance index(RI),and pulsa-tility index(PI)of uterine artery],serological indicators[C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6)],pelvic floor ultrasound indicators(bladder neck mobility,anteroposterior diameter of levator hi-atal area,levator hiatal volume),pelvic floor function[Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20(PFDI-20)],pelvic floor muscle strength,and quality of life[Short Form-36 Health Survey(SF-36)].The costs of the two treatments were compared at the end of treatment.Results Ten weeks after treatment,PSV,muscle potential values of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ muscles,and SF-36 scores were significantly increased in both groups compared with those before treatment,with the observation group showing higher values than the control group(P＜0.05).RI,PI,CRP,IL-6,bladder neck mobility,anteroposterior di-ameter of levator hiatal area,levator hiatal volume,and PFDI-20 scores were decreased in both groups compared with those before treatment,with the observation group showing lower values than the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the treatment cost in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Electrostimulation biofeedback ther-apy combined with pelvic floor muscle training can effectively improve postpartum uterine artery blood flow indicators,serological indicators,pelvic floor ultrasound indicators,pelvic floor muscle strength,and promote pelvic floor function recovery in first vaginal delivery women.

Objective:To explore the potent effects of denatonium benzoate(DB)on Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor-B2(MrgprB2)-mediated rat mast cell degranulation.Methods:RBL-2H3 cells were treated with DB overnight,before challenged with MrgprB2 ligands substance P(SP).The release of β-hex from MrgprB2-activated RBL-2H3 was detected by substrate method.Detec-tion of LTC4,IL-6,TNF-α and cPLA2 activity were performed by ELISA.The Ca2+influx and the expression of RBL-2H3 MrgprB2 re-ceptors were measured by fluorescence assay.Results:The results showed 10 μmol/L,50 μmol/L,80 μmol/L,100 μmol/L DB treat-ments promoted β-hex and LTC4 releases from activated RBL-2H3,accompanied by increased Ca2+mobilization and cPLA2 activa-tion.DB treatments did not affect IL-6 and TNF-α LTC4 releases in MrgprB2-activated RBL-2H3,as well as the levels of MrgprB2 ex-pression in mast cells.Conclusion:Taken together,DB enhanced the MrgprB2-mediated RBL-2H3 degranulation in vitro,probably by up-regulating Ca2+mobilization in activated cells.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound monitoring of inferior vena cava collapse index (IVC-CI) guiding fluid replacement on circulation in elderly patients during induction of general anesthesia.Methods:A total of 71 elderly patients who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia and tracheal intubation at Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital from April 2021 to September 2022 were randomly divided into control group (35 cases) and observation group (36 cases) using a random number table method. Before anesthesia, both groups of patients underwent IVC ultrasound examination and calculated the IVC-CI value. For patients with IVC-CI≥40%, the observation group was given 8 ml/kg of crystal solution before anesthesia induction, while the control group was not treated. The incidence of hypotension, the use of vasoactive drugs, and the total infusion volume from anesthesia induction to skin incision were recorded in two groups. Mean arterial blood pressure (MBP), heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO 2), cardiac index (CI), and cardiac volume variability (SVV) before anesthesia (T 0), 5 min after induction (T 1), 1 min after tracheal intubation (T 2), 5 min after tracheal intubation (T 3), 10 min after tracheal intubation (T 4), and 1 min before skin incision (T 5) were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results:The incidence of hypotension (27.8% vs 60.0%) and utilization rate of vasoactive drugs (25.0% vs 48.6%) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the total infusion volume during anesthesia induction was higher than that in the control group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). SVV, CI and MBP at T 1, T 3, T 4 and T 5 were significantly different from those at T 0 in the control group ( F=3.85, 14.66, 3.96, all P<0.05). SVV, CI and MBP at T 1, T 3, T 4 and T 5 in the observation group were significantly different from those at T 0 ( F=3.51, 13.20, 4.35, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in SVV, CI, MBP, HR and SpO 2 between 2 groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:For the elderly patients with preoperative IVC-CI≥40%, pre-filling with 8ml/kg crystal solution before anesthesia induction can significantly reduce the incidence of hypotension and the utilization rate of vasoactive drugs in the elderly patients during anesthesia induction.

Objective: To compare the safety between cervical conization (CC) alone and hysterectomy for patients with adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the cervix. Methods: Patients diagnosed with AIS after CC during 2007–2021 were identified by computerized databases at Women’s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. A total of 453 AIS patients were divided into 2 groups according to uterus preservation: hysterectomy group (n=300) and CC(s) alone group (n=153). The prevalence of residual disease and disease recurrence was compared between patients treated by CC(s) alone and hysterectomy. The prevalence of residual disease in specimens from women who had a hysterectomy and repeat CC were compared between positive and negative margins of CC. The factors influencing residual disease and disease recurrence were assessed. Results: Among 310 specimens from women who had a hysterectomy or repeat CC, the prevalence of residual disease was 50.6% (45/89) for a positive margin and 2.3% (5/221) for a negative margin (p=0.000). Four patients had recurrence of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia in those treated by hysterectomy and one had recurrence of cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia in those treated by CC(s) alone. The prevalence of recurrence was 0.7% (1/153) for CC(s) alone and 1.3% (4/300) for hysterectomy (p=0.431). Hysterectomy did not influence residual disease or disease recurrence. Conclusion CC is an efficacious and safe option for patients with AIS of the cervix provided the margin is negative.

Objective:To observe the effect of esketamine on cardiac index in patients undergoing lumbar surgery in prone position under general anesthesia.Methods:Forty-five patients with prone lumbar surgery after general anesthesia in Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital from March to July 2021 were divided into observation group (24 cases, group A) and control group (21 cases, group B) according to random number table method. Group A received 0.5 mg/kg esketamine intravenously during induction, and 0.15 mg/(kg·h) esketamine intravenously for 2 h after prone position. Group B received the same amount of normal saline. Both groups were given sevoflurane and remifentanil during operation to maintain anesthesia, and sufentanil was given intermittently during operation. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic pressure (DBP), cardiac index (CI), and heart rate (HR) before induction (T 0), during endotracheal intubation (T 1), 5 minutes after intubation (T 2), 5 minutes after prone position (T 3), 10 minutes after prone position (T 4), 30 minutes after prone position (T 5), 45 minutes after prone position (T 6), 60 minutes after prone position (T 7), 90 minutes after prone position (T 8), and 120 minutes after prone position (T 9) were recorded; The total dosage of norepinephrine 2 hours after anesthesia to prone position and extubation time after operation were also recorded. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was performed 15 minutes after extubation, 6 and 24 hours after operation. Results:There was no significant difference in CI between T 3-T 9 and T 2 in group A ( P>0.05); the CI of group B at T 3-T 7 was significantly lower than that at T 2 (all P<0.05); there was no significant difference in CI between T 8-T 9 and T 2 in group B (all P>0.05); There was no significant difference in CI between group A and group B at T 0-T 2 (all P>0.05). The CI of group A at T 3-T 9 was significantly higher than that of group B (all P<0.05); The dosage of norepinephrine in group A was significantly lower than that in group B ( P<0.05); There was no significant difference in HR, MAP, SBP and DBP between the two groups at different time points (all P>0.05); there was also no significant difference in extubation time and VAS scores at 15 minutes, 6 hours and 24 hours after extubation between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Intraoperative application of esketamine can increase CI after prone position and reduce the amount of norepinephrine during lumbar surgery.

AIM: To analyze the chemical ingredients of Qingxin-zishen prescription decoction (QZPD) and predict its main pharmacodynamic substances and mechanism in the prevention and treatment of menopause syndrome (MPS) with the help of high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF/MS) combined with network pharmacology. METHODS: The chemical ingredients of QZPD were identified after analyzing the retention time, exact mass, secondary mass spectrometry fragmentation and other information obtained from HPLC-Q-TOF/MS and comparing them with the established chemical ingredients database and the literatures. The targets of ingredients in QZPD were predicted by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and SwissTargetPrediction database. The disease targets of MPS were obtained through Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) and GeneCards Database. Gene ontology (GO) function enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of potential targets were analyzed with the Metascape database. Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to construct the network of active components-key targets-pathways. AutoDockTools 4.2.5 software was applied in the molecular docking verification between the key active components and key targets. RESULTS: A total of 83 components were identified in QZPD and 847 drug targets were predicted. After intersection them with 3 050 disease targets, 395 common targets were obtained. After network topology analysis, 74 key targets were obtained, involving mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and other signaling pathways. Molecular docking analysis results indicated that 23 key active components, such as berberine, epiberberine, coptisine, geissoschizine methyl ether, liensinine, norcoclaurine, palmatine, quercetin, and luteolin, had good binding activity with several of the key targets. CONCLUSION: This study preliminarily identifies the potential effective chemical ingredients of QZPD, predicts its targets in the prevention and treatment of MPS, which provides supporting information for the further study of the pharmacodynamic substances and mechanisms of QZPD.
