ObjectiveTo establish a regional risk assessment system for hospital-acquired infections in neurosurgery department of general hospital, and to evaluate its prevention and control effectiveness. MethodsFailure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) was used to identify the core risk factors for infections in neurosurgery department. The risk priority number (RPN) of each risk factor was calculated to determine the priority intervention targets. Targeted interventions were developed and continuously refined through the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycles. Data from January to June 2023 (control group) and July to December 2023 (intervention group) were collected to compare the differences in environmental hygiene monitoring qualification rate, incidence rate of hospital-acquired infections among inpatients, and detection rate of bacterial antimicrobial resistance. ResultsHigh-risk factors for hospital-acquired infections in neurosurgery department included patient-related risk factors, inadequate implementation of isolation measures for special infections, and poor compliance with surgical site infection (SSI) prevention protocols. After intervention, the environmental hygiene qualification rate significantly increased from 81.55% to 100.00% (χ²=120.49, P<0.001). The overall hospital-acquired infection rate among inpatients decreased from 2.62% to 2.45%, the infection rate of per case declined from 3.12% to 2.84%, and the detection rate of multidrug-resistant organism infections reduced from 43.72% to 36.79%. Additionally, antimicrobial utilization rate decreased from 48.75% to 42.53% (χ²=34.09, P<0.001). ConclusionThe FMEA-based risk assessment system can effectively identify critical infection risks in neurosurgery department, and targeted interventions can significantly improve infection prevention and control performance.

ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the association between novel coronavirus (“SARS-CoV-2”) infection and clinical symptoms in inpatients with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, so as to provide evidence for improving clinical diagnostic ability. MethodsFrom January 13 to March 2, 2023, respiratory tract specimens of 456 inpatients with SARI were collected from 8 sentinel institutions, SARS-CoV-2 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Whole genome sequencing and sequence analyses were performed to samples with a cycle threshold (Ct) value of <35. At the same time, demographic information, clinical characteristics and underlying disease condition of the cases were collected, and the association between age, symptoms and nucleic acid positive rates was evaluated by χ² test and Spearman correlation analysis. ResultsA total of 456 cases were included, the median (P₂₅, P₇₅) age was 70 (69, 85) years old, of which 200 cases were novel coronavirus nucleic acid positive for SARS-CoV-2, with a positive rate of 43.86%. The positive rate was the highest in the 80-year-old group (56.82%), and the positive rate increased significantly with age (r=0.15, P=0.002). The proportion of oppression in chest, sore throat and expectoration in novel coronavirus nucleic acid positive cases was significantly higher than that in negative cases (all P<0.05). The 33 viruses sequenced successfully were all Omicron subvariants, with BF.7 (51.52%) and BA.5.2 (42.42%) being the predominant ones. ConclusionA positive correlation was observed between advanced age and the risk of SARS-CoV-2 positivity in patients with SARI. The symptoms of expectoration, oppression in chest and sore throat are more common in positive cases, which can be used as a prompt indicator for key screening and clinical identification of elderly SARI cases.

BACKGROUND:The mechanism,manifestation,prevention and treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury have been reported in the past.However,there are few studies on the ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limb skeletal muscle caused by total knee arthroplasty.This article focuses on the pathogenesis,clinical impact,prevention and treatment of the ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limb caused by total knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the related literature of lower limb ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by total knee arthroplasty,analyze the mechanism and significance,and give hints for further research on skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:The relevant articles on PubMed,CNKI,WanFang and VIP databases published from January 1,2000 to April 30,2022 were searched by computer with the Chinese and English search terms of"ischemia-reperfusion injury,total knee arthroplasty,tourniquet,mechanism,pathophysiology,skeletal muscle,treatment".After excluding repetitive research and some basic articles with low correlation,68 articles were finally selected for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury is related to oxygen free radicals,intracellular calcium overload,neutrophil activation,as well as high concentration of nitric oxide,no reflow phenomenon,apoptosis and other mechanisms.More detailed mechanism research can provide basis for future prevention and treatment.(2)Ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limbs will cause local skeletal muscle injury,which may be caused by the trauma of the operation itself or the role of ischemia-reperfusion injury.More targeted research is needed to distinguish the relationship between the two.(3)Ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limbs may even affect the distal organs,causing kidney and lung damage.It also affects local and systemic circulation.(4)To clarify the effect of ischemia-reperfusion injury can point out the direction for future prevention and treatment.The current prevention and treatment measures mainly include ischemic preconditioning,anesthetic,antioxidant and other drug prevention.(5)The detailed review of ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limb skeletal muscle caused by total knee arthroplasty can provide basis for future diagnosis and treatment decisions.

BACKGROUND:Dexmedetomidine has the effect of anti-ischemia-reperfusion injury,but the comprehensive and systematic review of its signaling pathway is less. OBJECTIVE:To focus on the review of dexmedetomidine's signaling pathway in the mechanisms of antioxidant stress,inhibition of inflammation,anti-apoptosis,autophagy,and so on. METHODS:The relevant articles on PubMed,CNKI,WanFang,and VIP databases were searched by computer with the key words"ischemia-reperfusion inquiry;dexmedetomidine;signal path;oxidative stress;inflammation;apoptosis"in Chinese and English.After excluding repetitive research and some basic articles with low correlation,57 articles were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Dexmedetomidine plays an important role in organ protection through many mechanisms,such as anti-oxidative stress injury,anti-inflammation,anti-apoptosis and autophagy.This involves many pathways,including Nrf2 and its downstream protein antioxidant stress pathway,Toll-like receptor 4 family and nuclear factor-κB-related anti-inflammatory pathway,JAK2/STAT3-related anti-inflammatory pathway,and cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway,and the cholinergic pathway is the upstream mechanism of many nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways.(2)PI3K/Akt pathway plays different roles according to its activated downstream signals,inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammatory body,activating signal molecules endothelial nitric oxide synthase,mammalian target of rapamycin,and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α to play an anti-inflammatory role,and activate Bad or Bax residues to play an anti-apoptotic role,and PI3K/Akt activates glycogen synthetase kinase-3β.It can also play an anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic role.(3)Dexmedetomidine activates SIRT3 to mediate anti-apoptosis and inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress to produce anti-apoptosis.(4)The detailed review of the anti-ischemia-reperfusion injury signaling pathway of dexmedetomidine can provide a basis for future mechanism research and diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Objective:To investigate the application value of virtual reality laparoscopic simulator training in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP).Methods:The prospective cohort study was conducted. Twenty young physicians from The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University with ≥3 years of clinical experience in general surgery and no foundation in laparoscopy were selected for training during July to August 2023. Physicians were divided into two groups based on random number table method. Physicians undergoing virtual reality laparoscopic simulator training were divided into the virtual reality group, and physicians undergoing regular laparoscopic simulator training were divided into the regular group. Two groups of physicians were trained using laparoscopic simulator for 10 days (2 hours for each skill, with a total of 6 hours per day for 3 skills), and the training covered basic laparoscopic surgical skills such as clamping, cutting and suturing and knotting. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups were conducted using the independent sample t test and the paired ttest was used for intra group comparison. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups were conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1) Physicians situation before training. A total of 20 physicians were selected for eligibility. There were 13 males and 7 females, aged 31(range, 30?34)years. There are 7 males and 3 females in the virtual reality group, with age of (31.5±1.4)years and the TAPP simulation surgery time of (42±4)minutes before training. There are 6 male and 4 female students in the regular group, with age of (31.2±1.0)years and the TAPP simulation surgery time of (42±4)minutes before training. There was no significant difference in gender, age, TAPP simulation surgery time between the two groups of physicians ( P>0.05), confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Basic skills of physicians before and after training. For physicians in the virtual reality group, the clamping score was 5.1±1.0, the cutting score was 4.9±1.0, the suturing and knotting score was 4.7±1.5 before training. The clamping score was 8.0±1.3, the cutting score was 7.9±1.5, the suturing and knotting score was 6.6±1.3 after training. There were significant differences in the above indicators before and after training ( t=?5.75, ?5.21, ?3.07, P<0.05). For physicians in the regular group, the clamping score was 5.3±1.0, the cutting score was 5.0±1.2, the suturing and knotting score was 4.3±1.5 before training. The clamping score was 7.1±1.2, the cutting score was 6.7±1.3, the suturing and knotting score was 5.7±1.1 after training. There were significant differences in the above indicators before and after training ( t=?3.73, ?3.16, ?2.42, P<0.05). (3) Completion of simulated surgical situations before and after training. The time of completing TAPP simulation surgery for virtual reality group after training was (29±3)minutes, versus (42±4)minutes before training, showing a significant difference before and after training ( t=7.69, P<0.05). The time of completing TAPP simulation surgery for regular group after training was (36±4)minutes, versus (42±4)minutes before training, showing a significant difference before and after training ( t=3.75, P<0.05). The time of completing TAPP simulation surgery of virtual reality group after training was shorter than that of regular group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( t=?3.89, P<0.05). Conclusion:Both of virtual reality and regular laparoscopic simulator can enhance the basic laparoscopic surgical skills and the proficiency of TAPP simulation surgery of physicians, and the training effect of virtual reality laparoscopic simulators is better.

Objective: To investigate immune responses to influenza virus infections and the immunogenicity of trivalent split-virus influenza vaccine among elderly populations in Jiangbei District, Ningbo City, so as to provide the support for promoting influenza vaccination among elderly populations. Methods: The elderly populations at ages of 60 years and older were recruited in Jiangbei District of Ningbo City from September to November, 2020, and the participants were assigned to the vaccination group and the control group according to vaccination intention. The titers of haemagglutination inhibition ( HI ) antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV were measured using the micro HI test prior to vaccination and 30 days post-vaccination, and the protective rate, geometric mean titer ( GMT ) and seroconversion rate of antibodies were analyzed before and after vaccination. Results: There were 290 participants in the vaccination group, including 132 men (45.52% ), and 290 controls, including 132 men ( 45.52% ). There were no significant differences between the vaccination group and the control group in terms of the protective rate or GMT of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV prior to vaccination ( P>0.05 ). Following vaccination, the protective rates of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV were 98.62%, 94.14% and 88.28%, and the GMT of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV increased by 9.26, 6.19 and 10.09 folds, while the seroconversion rates of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV were 78.62%, 68.28% and 71.38%, respectively. The protective rates, GMT and seroconversion rates of antibodies against influenza viruses A ( H1N1 and H3N2 ) and BV were all significantly greater in the vaccination group than in the control group post-vaccination ( P<0.05 ). A lower increase was seen in the GMT of antibodies against the influenza virus BV among residents at ages of 80 years and older (increase by 7.91 folds) than among residents at ages of 70 to 79 years ( increase by 12.53 folds ) and 60 to 69 years (increase by 13.32 folds) in the vaccination group post-vaccination ( P<0.05 ), and the seroconversion rate of antibodies against the influenza virus BV was significantly lower in residents at ages of 80 years and older ( 62.57% ) than in those at ages of 70 to 79 years ( 83.33% ) ( P<0.05 ), while the positive conversion rate of antibodies against the influenza virus A ( H3N2 ) was significantly lower in residents at ages of 80 years and older ( 62.57% ) than in those at ages of 60 to 69 years ( 91.30% ) ( P<0.05 ). Conclusions Low-level immune responses are detected to antibodies against influenza virus A ( H3N2 ) and BV among elderly populations in Jiangbei District of Ningbo City, and trivalent split-virus influenza vaccine shows a high immunogenicity among elder populations. An emphases on improvements in coverage of influenza vaccination among elderly populations at ages of 60 to 69 years, and development of influenza vaccines with a higher protective efficacy for residents at ages of 80 years and older are recommended.

ObjectiveTo explore the effective components and mechanism of Epimedii Folium in the treatment of oligoasthenotspermia by using network pharmacology and molecular docking technique. MethodThe main active components and corresponding target genes of Epimedii Folium were screened out from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP）. Target genes of oligospermia were obtained by GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM） database. Uniprot was used to correct all genes. The drug-active component-key target regulatory network was constructed by Cytoscape3.9.0， and the key active components were screened out according to the degree value. The active components and common targets of the disease were uploaded to STRING 11.5 database to construct the Epimedii Folium and oligoasthenotspermia target protein-protein interaction （PPI） network， and the key protein targets were screened out according to the degree value. The key targets of gene ontology （GO） functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis were performed using DAVID database. Protein Data Bank （PDB） and TCMSP were used to obtain the molecular structure of target proteins and active components. AutoDock Vina 1.1.2 was used to perform molecular docking of the active components and the core protein targets. Finally， icariin， the active component of Epimedii Folium， was used to intervene in the rat model of oligoasthenotspermia to verify the effect of icariin on the expression level of protein targets. ResultTwenty-three active components from Epimedii Folium were screened out， and 50 common targets and 6 core targets of oligoasthenotspermia and Epimedii Folium were obtained， including tumor protein p53 （TP53）， epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR）， prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 （PTGS2）， cysteine aspartate-specific protease （Caspase）-3， erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 （ERBB2）， and caspase-9. Through GO enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis， the active components of Epimedii Folium were mainly involved in the P53 signaling pathway， the pathways in cancer， cell proliferation， and apoptosis， etc. Molecular docking results indicated that icariin， quercetin， and 8-isopentenol had strong binding ability to target protein. The results of icariin intervention experiment showed that as compared with the control group， the expression of target proteins in testis of rats with oligoasthenotspermia was significantly down-regulated. As compared with the model group， icariin significantly up-regulated the expression of target protein in testis of rats with oligoasthenotspermia （P<0.05）. ConclusionEpimedii Folium treats oligoasthenotspermia through regulating the P53 signaling pathway， the pathways in cancer， cell proliferation， and apoptosis by icariin， quercetin， and 8-isopentenol.

Objective:To evaluate the value of serum pepsinogen Ⅰ and Ⅱ combined with gastrin-17 in screening precancerous lesions of gastric cancer in physical examination population.Methods:Serum pepsinogen, gastrin-17 and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) antibody were detected in 18 354 physical examination people from July to December 2017 in Wenrong Hospital, Hengdian, Dongyang. The patients were divided into youth group (18 to 39 years old), middle-aged group (40 to 59 years old) and elderly group (≥60 years old) according to their ages. The correlation between the serological level of the above indexes and age was analyzed; according to the new ABC method, the test results were divided into groups A, B, C and D. The patients in group C and D were examined by gastroscopy. The differences of gastric mucosal atrophy or intestinal metaplasia and other precancerous lesions detected by gastroscopy in different age groups were compared.Results:Finally, 18 354 cases were enrolled, including 9 614 males and 8 740 females. With the increase of age, the proportion of group C and D increased gradually. In group C, 181 cases underwent gastroscopy, including 39 cases of atrophic gastritis, 29 cases of intestinal metaplasia and 3 cases of dysplasia/intraepithelial neoplasia, the detection rate of precancerous lesions was 39.23%; in group D, 94 cases underwent gastroscopy, including 22 cases of atrophic gastritis and 13 cases of intestinal metaplasia, the detection rate of precancerous lesions was 37.23%. The proportion of gastric precancerous lesions in group C and D was 29.63% in the young group, 69.70% in the middle-aged group and 71.58% in the old group, respectively. There was significant difference compared with the young group ( P<0.01); atypical hyperplasia occurred in 2.02% and 9.47% of the middle-aged group and the elderly group. Conclusions:The combined detection of serum pepsinogen Ⅰ and Ⅱ and gastrin-17 levels is of great value in the screening of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer; when this method used for early gastric cancer screening in healthy population, it is necessary to consider the influence of age for the risk stratification of gastric cancer.

To evaluate the value of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)and SpyGlass in the diagnosis of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the bile duct (IPMN-B). Data of patients who underwent ERCP and SpyGlass in Hangzhou First People′s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2019 were analyzed. ERCP and SpyGlass features, complications, clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 9 patients (5 benign lesions and 4 malignant lesions) were included.ERCP was successfully performed in 9 cases, while SpyGlass was technically successful in 8 cases. Endoscopy showed mucus outflow from the papilla in 5 cases, and the mucus was removed by the balloon of ERCP in 8 cases.ERCP showed bile duct diffuse dilatation and filling defects in all patients. SpyGlass found the mucus in the bile duct in all patients. SpyGlass showed lesion mucosa were fish-egg like without vascular images (Ⅱtype, 3 cases), fish-egg like with vascular images (Ⅲ type, 1 case), villous (Ⅳtype, 4 cases). SpyGlass defined extent of the lesion in 8 cases. SpyGlass found that the lesion involved the intra and extrahepatic bile ducts in one case. Therefore, liver transplantation was recommended to avoid surgical exploration. One type Ⅲ lesion underwent a direct biopsy. The pathology showed moderate dysplasia, which was consistent with the postoperative pathology. No complication occurred. ERCP combined with SpyGlass could clarify the scope of IPMN-B and provide basis for surgical options, which is safe and effective in IPMN-B diagnosis.
