Objective To investigate the impacts of epidural anesthesia with ropivacaine combined with dezocine on lower limb motor nerve block and maternal and infant outcomes in primipara undergoing painless delivery.Methods A total of 159 primiparas who delivered in Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital were selected as the research objects,and divided into the blank group(53 cases),the ropivacaine group(53 cases)and the combined group(53 cases)by the random number table method.Parturients in the blank group were given natural delivery mode,parturients in the ropivacaine group were given ropivacaine epidural anesthesia,and parturients in the combined group were given dezocine anesthesia on the basis of ropivacaine.Analgesic effect at different time points,time of the first,second and third stage of labor,pressing times of analgesic pump,lower limbs motor nerve block,maternal and infant outcomes,and adverse reactions of parturients were compared among the three groups.Results At 10 minutes after analgesia,60 minutes after analgesia,when the cervix was fully dilated and when the fetus was delivered,the VAS scores of the parturients in the ropivacaine group and the combined group were lower than those in the blank group(P<0.05),and the VAS scores of the parturients in the combined group were significantly lower than those in the ropivacaine group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the time of the first,second or third stage of labor of parturients among the three groups(P>0.05);The pressing times of analgesic pump of parturients in the combined group was significantly less than that in the ropivacaine group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in terms of low limb motor nerve block after painless labor of parturients among the three groups(P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the perineal incision rate or the Apgar scores of newborns at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth among the three groups(P>0.05).The usage rate of forceps and the rate of conversion to cesarean section in the combined group were significantly lower than those in the ropivacaine group and the blank group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of total adverse reactions among the blank group,the ropivacaine group and the combined group(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of ropivacaine and dezocine for epidural anesthesia has a better analgesic effect on primiparas with painless delivery,has a smaller impact on lower limb motor nerve block in parturients,and can achieve better maternal and infant outcomes.

Pain modulation encompasses a complex neurobiological process, in which the lateral habenula (LHb) plays a crucial role in integrating, regulating and modulating pain signals. It is also involved in pain-related memory functions associated with perception, transmission and regulation of pain. Furthermore, the LHb collaborates with structures such as the spinal dorsal horn, forebrain, and amygdala to form an essential neural circuit that contributes to sensitization, development of tolerance, and adaptation processes related to pain. However, there remains limited understanding regarding the specific roles and interactions among different neuron subtypes within the LHb concerning pain regulation. Additionally, further investigation is warranted to explore functional changes and plasticity within both the LHb and its associated neural circuits in chronic pain models. Future research endeavors should utilize advanced neuroimaging techniques alongside optogenetics and gene editing technologies to elucidate intricate neural circuits, cellular architecture, and molecular mechanisms governing LHb function in pain regulation. In conclusion, this paper aims to comprehensively review existing literature on the involvement of the LHb and its neural circuits in modulating pain, thereby enhancing our understanding of their neurobiological mechanisms while providing novel targets for precise therapeutic strategies aimed at alleviating pain.

Objective:To analyze the dual gain effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with vestibular rehabilitation training on patients with tinnitus and dizziness.Methods:This study was a retrospective analysis,and 90 patients with tinnitus and dizziness who visited the outpatient department of our hospital from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected to carry out the study,and were divided into observation group and control group according to the treatment methods,with 45 cases in each group.The matched group patients were treated with conventional medication,while the observation group received hyperbaric oxygen combined with vestibular rehabilitation training on the basis of the matched group.The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared,including the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the cerebral cortex,vestibular function,severity of tinnitus,and severity of dizziness before and after treatment.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than the matched group(P＜0.05);Post-treatment,there was no significant change in the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the parietal and occipital cortex between the two groups(P＞0.05).However,the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the temporal lobe,dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,and frontal polar cortex increased,and the observation group was higher than the matched group(P＜0.05);Post-treatment,the values of hemiparesis,total area of center of gravity movement(CA),and total length of center of gravity movement(PL)in both groups decreased,and the observation group was lower than the matched group(P＜0.05);Post-treatment,the severity score of tinnitus in both groups decreased,and the observation group was lower than that in the matched group(P＜0.05);Post-treatment,the degree score of vertigo in both groups decreased,and the observation group was lower than that in the matched group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Hyperbaric oxygen combined with vestibular rehabilitation training has a significant dual gain effect on patients with tinnitus and dizziness,which can improve clinical efficacy,promote cortical neural activity,improve vestibular function,and thereby alleviate the severity of tinnitus and dizziness.
