Objective:To investigate the effects of prophylactic analgesia using erector spinae plane block (ESPB) combined with ketorolac tromethamine on postoperative analgesia and early recovery of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. A total of 105 gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in Heji Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from June 2022 to October 2023 were selected, and the patients were divided into ESPB+ketorolac tromethamine group (T group), ESPB group (C1 group), and ketorolac tromethamine group (C2 group) by using the random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. The prophylactic analgesia method was preoperative ESPB + ketorolac tromethamine in T group, preoperative ESPB in C1 group and preoperative ketorolac tromethamine in C2 group. The intraoperative sufentanil and remifentanil dosage and the postoperative resting pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, remedial analgesia, recovery status and complication occurrence were compared among the 3 groups.Results:The baseline characteristics and intraoperative conditions of the patients in the 3 groups were compared, and the differences were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The intraoperative sufentanil dosage in T group was less than that in C1 and C2 groups [30 (25, 30) μg vs. 35 (30, 35) μg vs. 40 (35, 45) μg], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = 33.03, P < 0.001); the intraoperative remifentanil dosage in T group was less than that in C1 and C2 groups [0.34 (0.30, 0.40) mg vs. 0.40 (0.30, 0.50) mg vs. 0.70 (0.60, 0.85) mg], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = 53.84, P < 0.001). The VAS scores at 1, 6, 12, 24, 48 h after surgery in T group were lower than those in C1 and C2 groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). The press number of analgesic pump in T group was less than that in C1 and C2 groups [1 (0, 2) times vs. 2 (1, 2) times vs. 4 (3, 5) times], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = 48.10, P < 0.001). The postoperative first time of exhaust and get out of bed and days of hospital stay in T group were shorter than those in C1 and C2 groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). The differences in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, dizziness, pruritus, pneumonia, and anastomotic fistula among the 3 groups were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). None of the 3 groups experienced postoperative drowsiness, hypotension or respiratory depression. Conclusions:Prophylactic analgesia using ESPB combined with ketorolac tromethamine can effectively reduce the postoperative pain of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy, reduce the use of analgesic drugs, and promote the early recovery of the patients in the postoperative period without increasing the postoperative complications.

Background : Studies showed that esophageal body dysmotility is associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), however, their interactions are still unclear. Aims: To explore the influence of proportion of ineffective swallows on esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux in esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM). Methods: Patients who completed esophageal HRM and 24 h esophageal impedanee-pH monitoring and were identified as normal esophageal motility or mild dysmotility from March 2018 to December 2019 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were recruited retrospectively. According to the times of ineffective swallows in 10 warm water swallows in HRM, these patients were allocated into four groups; Group A (0 times), Group B (1-4 times), Group C (5-7 times), Group D (8-10 times). The parameters of esophageal HRM and 24 h esophageal impedance-pH monitoring were analyzed, and the value of ineffective swallows for assistant diagnosis of pathological acid reflux was assessed. Results: A total of 142 patients were included. There were no significant differences in abnormal manometric parameters between the four groups (all P > 0. 05). In Group D, the number of weak and non-peristalsis were increased, while the mean and maximum value of distal contractile integral (DCI) were decreased as compared with those in Group A and Group B (all P < 0. 05). Between Group C and Group D, the differences in mean and maximum DCI value were significant (all P < 0. 05). As the times of ineffective swallows increased, the acid exposure time (AET) and DeMeester score gradually increased from Group A to Group D (all P < 0. 05). Times of ineffective swallows and weak peristalsis were moderately and positively correlated with AET, DeMeester score, and the total number of acid exposure (all P < 0. 05). ROC curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) of ineffective swallows for assistant diagnosis of pathological acid reflux was 0. 625 (95 % CI; 0.523-0. 727, P = 0. 027); the optimal cut-off value was 4. 5, and the sensitivity and specificity were 62. 9% and 61. 7 %, respectively. The diagnostic performance of weak peristalsis was superior to that of non-peristalsis (AUC: 0. 625 vs. 0. 590). Conclusions: Different proportions of ineffective swallows suggest different clinical significance. The clinical relevance of ineffective swallows > 70 % might be most significant, and to a certain extent, can predicts pathological acid reflux.

Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2022;41(6):476-479
Objective:To learn about the iodine nutritional status and the trend of iodine deficiency disorders in key populations in Changchun City, so as to provide basis for timely adoption of targeted prevention measures and scientific adjustment of intervention strategies.Methods:From 2018 to 2020, 10 counties (cities, districts) under the jurisdiction of Changchun City were divided into 5 sampling areas according to the directions of east, west, south, north and middle. One township (street) was randomly selected from each area, and 20 pregnant women and 40 non-boarding students aged 8 to 10 (half male and half female) of one primary school were selected from each township (street). Household salt samples and a random urine sample of pregnant women and children were collected for detection of salt iodine and urinary iodine; thyroid volume was checked in children aged 8 to 10.Results:From 2018 to 2020, the median range of edible salt iodine in children's home in Changchun City was 23.7 - 23.9 mg/kg, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 96.6%, 94.7% and 96.5%, respectively. The median range of edible salt iodine in pregnants' home was 23.7 - 25.3 mg/kg, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 97.6%, 95.9% and 96.1%, respectively. From 2018 to 2020, the median urinary iodine of children in Changchun City was 170.1, 192.7 and 175.2 μg/L, respectively, and the iodine nutritional status were all the appropriate level. The areas with the appropriate level of iodine each year accounted for 90% (9/10), 70% (7/10) and 80% (8/10), respectively, and the rest were exceeding the iodine appropriate areas. The median urinary iodine of pregnant women was 151.6, 163.1 and 161.0 μg/L, respectively, and the iodine nutritional status were all the appropriate level. The areas with the appropriate level of iodine each year accounted for 50% (5/10), 60% (6/10) and 60% (6/10), respectively, and the rest were all iodine deficient areas. A total of 2 000 children aged 8 to 10 were examined for thyroid volume, 3 cases of goiter were detected, and the goiter rate was 0.15%.Conclusion:From 2018 to 2020, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, urinary iodine level and goiter rate of children of key populations in Changchun City have reached the elimination standard of iodine deficiency disorders, but there is a risk of iodine deficiency in pregnant women in some areas.

Objectives:To establish a grading model on prognosis of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment on femoropopliteal de novo lesions, and assess whether patients at high risk could benefit from combination of directional atherectomy(DA).Methods:The clinical data of 114 patients with femoropopliteal de novo lesions admitted to Department of Vascular Surgery, Peking University People′s Hospital from October 2015 to January 2019 were collected retrospectively. There were 95 patients(108 limbs) underwent DCB treatment, including 66 males and 29 females, aged 71.9 years old(range:48 to 91 years), and 19 patients (21 limbs) underwent DA combined with DCB treatment, including 13 males and 6 females, aged 69.5 years old(range: 62 to 80 years). The demographic data, intraoperative and postoperative conditions of the patients were collected. Cox regression model was performed for modeling and then goodness of fit was tested. Kaplan-Meier estimate was carried out between the two groups for patients at high risk and low risk, respectively.Results:All patients were followed up for more than 24 months. Restenosis occurred on 34 limbs in DCB group and 3 limbs in DA+DCB group. Severe calcification( HR=3.804, 95% CI:2.460 to 5.883), popliteal artery involvement ( HR=2.104, 95% CI:1.368 to 3.236), long lesion ( HR=1.824, 95% CI:1.196 to 2.780), poor runoff( HR=1.736, 95% CI:1.025 to 2.940), chronic kidney disease( HR=1.601, 95% CI:1.040 to 2.463) were independent risk factors of restenosis after DCB treatment, and were defined 3, 2, 1, 1 and 1 points, respectively. Total points≥3 was regarded as high risk group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients in low risk group did not benefit from DA+DCB comparing with DCB with regard to primary patency at 24 months (77.78% vs. 90.31%, P=0.271) while patients benefited from DA+DCB comparing with DCB in high risk group(88.26% vs. 20.80%, P<0.01). Conclusions:The grading model shows satisfying clinical value. The clinical effect of DA+DCB is better than DCB along in high risk group. Patients at high risk are supposed to receive aggressive vessel preparation like DA.
