Objective To evaluate the effect of remimazolam on the incidence of postoperative delirium(POD)in elderly lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods A total of 114 elderly patients who underwent unilateral thoracoscopic lung surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from October 2024 to April 2025 were recruited in this trial.Patients were randomly assigned to remimazolam group(group R)and propofol group(group P).Anesthesia induction and maintenance were performed with remimazolam and propofol,respectively.In R group,0.5 mg of flumazenil was intravenously injected at the end of the surgery for specific antagonism.The incidence of delirium and Quality of Recovery-15(QoR-15)scores on the first and third postoperative days were compared between the two groups.Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters,total opi-oid dosage,fluid balance,tracheal tube extubation time after surgery,and the incidence of adverse reactions were recorded.Results There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in the incidence of POD or in QoR-15 scores(P>0.05).Compared with group P,patients in group R had a shorter extubation time(P<0.05),more stable hemodynamics,lower incidences of intra-operative hypotension and bradycardia,and reduced requirement for vasoactive drugs(P<0.05).The consumption of rescue analgesics in the post-anesthesia care unit(PACU)was also lower in group R(P<0.05).No significant differences were observed between the groups in the amounts of sufentanil and remifentanil administered,fluid balance,bispectral index(BIS)values,or the inci-dence of nausea and vomiting(P>0.05).Conclusion In elderly patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic sur-gery,remimazolam-based induction and maintenance of anesthesia did not significantly alter the incidence of POD or compromise postoperative recovery quality compared with propofol.However,the remimazolam group required fewer vasoactive agents and exhibited a shorter tracheal extubation time.

[Objective]To investigate the expression of scaffold protein PDLIM5 in multiple sclerosis(MS)patients and the mouse microglial cell line BV2,and to explore its effects on the phagocytosis of microglial cells.[Methods]Peripheral blood samples were collected from 24 MS patients and 6 healthy volunteers as controls.The expression levels of PDLIM5 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.A neuroinflammation cell model was established by treating the mouse microglial cell line BV2 with lipopolysaccharide(LPS,1 μg/mL).The expression levels of PDLIM5 were measured by Western Blot.The effect of PDLIM5 expression on phagocytosis was analyzed by transfecting BV2 cells with PDLIM5 shRNA plasmids or PDLIM5 overexpression plasmids.[Results]Real-time quantitative PCR results showed that compared with the healthy control group,the expression level of PDLIM5 from the MS patients was significantly increased in monocytes[2.78(0.70-6.86)vs.0.54(0.39-1.51),P=0.036]and lymphocytes[1.62(0.90-2.26)vs.0.11(0.05-0.21),P<0.001].Western Blot results indicated that PDLIM5 expression was significantly upregulated in BV2 cells following LPS stimulation(P<0.05).Plasmid transfection experiments demonstrated that knockdown of PDLIM5 inhibited the phagocytic capacity of BV2 cells as measured by trypan blue uptake(P<0.05),while overexpression of PDLIM5 enhanced the phagocytic ability of BV2 cells(P<0.001).[Conclusion]Under neuroinflammatory conditions,PDLIM5 expression is elevated,and this upregulation promotes the phagocytosis of microglial cell.

Objective:To investigate the operation opportunity for vascular rings in infants and assess the impact of prenatal and postnatal integrated management strategies on treatment outcomes.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 75 infants with vascular rings who underwent surgical treatment at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2023. Among them, 54 were males and 21 were females, with a median age at surgery of 1.7 (0.7-6.9) months and a median weight of 5.3 (3.5-8.0) kg. Vascular rings malformation was diagnosed by real-time three-dimensional color doppler echocardiography during pregnancy in 51 cases. Preoperatively, 28 cases presented with respiratory or digestive system-related symptoms, and 26 cases had a history of hospitalization due to related symptoms. All patients underwent preoperative cardiac CTA+ CTVE and three-dimensional reconstruction examinations, and 56 cases showed varying degrees of airway compression and stenosis on imaging. Among them, 10 patients presented with preoperative stridor and respiratory distress; fiberoptic bronchoscopy performed after anesthesia induction confirmed significant tracheal compression/stenosis. One patient was ventilator-dependent preoperatively, and bronchoscopy revealed main bronchomalacia. The cohort included: Complete vascular rings (62 cases of double aortic arch, 10 cases of right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery and left-sided ductus arteriosus/ligamentum) and incomplete vascular rings (3 cases of pulmonary artery sling). Additionally, 5 cases had associated Kommerell’s diverticulum, and 12 had intracardiac malformation. All patients successfully completed surgery, and those with intracardiac malformation underwent extracorporeal circulation and primary radical surgery concurrently. Based on prenatal diagnosis and implementation of prenatal and postnatal integrated management, patients were divided into an observation group (prenatal and postnatal integrated management group) and a control group (postnatally diagnosed group). The perioperative data of the two groups were compared to analyze the surgical outcomes and the advantages of prenatal and postnatal integrated treatment.Results:All 75 patients successfully completed surgery. Preoperatively, 56 cases (74.66%) presented with varying degrees of tracheal stenosis. Except for 1 case that died after abandoning treatment and 1 case that underwent tracheal surgery due to repeated failed ventilator weaning, all other patients were successfully discharged from the hospital. The overall mortality rate was 1.33%, and the rate of tracheal surgery was 1.35%. The age and weight at surgery in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05), and the proportion of preoperative hospitalization history was lower in the observation group ( P<0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of tracheal compression and stenosis, postoperative monitoring time, operation time, ventilator time, and risk of postoperative complications ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Tracheal stenosis is a common complication in children with vascular rings. Early surgical intervention is recommended for complete vascular rings and pulmonary artery slings (as an incomplete ring). Timely prenatal diagnosis of vascular ring anomalies combined with the implementation of an integrated prenatal-postnatal management strategy can significantly reduce the risk of preoperative hospitalization due to related symptoms and may lower the risk of subsequent tracheal surgery, potentially improving long-term prognosis.

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) significantly impact clinical medication safety. The timely identification and prediction of ADRs rely on the efficient analysis of real-world data, such as electronic health records, social media, and spontaneous reporting databases. In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, particularly large language models, in natural language processing, causal reasoning, and complex data mining has provided new technological means for real-time ADRs monitoring and individualized prediction. This paper summarizes the latest research achievements in AI-driven ADRs monitoring. Focusing on diverse data sources, including structured databases and electronic health records, it elaborates on the advantages andchallenges of AI in ADRs event extraction, relationship identification, causal analysis, and risk prediction. The aim is to provide a theoretical reference for constructing more intelligent and efficient ADRs monitoring systems.

Objective To investigate the impact of positive antinuclear antibody(ANA)and subsequent interven-tion therapy on the assisted reproductive technology outcomes among the patients experiencing recurrent implanta-tion failure(RIF).Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 344 RIF patients.Based on ANA test re-sults,the patients were divided into ANA-positive group(294 cases)and negative control group(50 cases).The ANA-positive group was further divided into a low titer group(214 cases)and a high titer group(80 cases).Com-parative statistical analyses such as the Wilcoxon rank-sum test,Mann-Whitney U test,Kruskal-Wallis test and chi-square test,etc.were employed to evaluate differences in general clinical data,embryo-related parameters,and pregnancy outcomes between the positive and negative groups.The impact of ANA on the assisted reproductive out-comes of patients with recurrent implantation failure was analyzed,and the outcomes of ANA-positive patients after intervention therapy were also analyzed.Results Notably,the clinical pregnancy rates of patients in the ANA-pos-itive low titer group and high titer group were significantly lower than those in the negative control group(P＜0.001).Similarly,the rates of fertilization and cleavage of oocytes in ANA-positive patients were also significantly lower than those in the negative control group(P＜0.05).For patients who did not achieve pregnancy after embryo transfer due to ANA positivity,immunomodulatory therapy significantly improved both the clinical pregnancy rate and cumulative clinical pregnancy rate(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with the negative control group,the clinical pregnancy rates decrease in both ANA-positive low titer subgroup and high titer subgroup.However,clini-cal intervention therapy enhances the single-cycle clinical pregnancy and cumulative pregnancy rates among ANA-positive patients,indicating that ANA positivity is an important factor in RIF.Immunomodulatory therapy is an ef-fective measure to improve recurrent implantation failure among ANA-positive patients.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of scrub typhus disease and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of scrub typhus disease. Methods Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the population and regional distribution of scrub typhus. Seasonal characteristics were analyzed using concentration method and circular distribution method, and incidence trend was analyzed using joinpoint regression model. Results The annual incidence rate of scrub typhus was 0.95/100 000 from 2010 to 2022. The incidence rate of male was 0.77/100 000, lower than that of female 1.12/100 000 (χ²=18.89, P<0.05). The incidence rate of the 60-74 years old group was 3.38/100,000, and the total number of cases in the age group 45-74 years was 416 (74.95%). Occupational distribution was mainly among farmers, with 448 cases (80.72%). The top three regions with the highest number of reported cases (in order: Donghai County, Ganyu District, and Guannan County) reported a total of 416 cases, accounting for 74.95%. Concentration ratio was M=0.9408, and the incidence of scrub typhus disease was strictly seasonal. Circular distribution results showed a^-=-62.3728, S=20.8960. The circular distribution results indicated that the peak day was October 19th, and the peak period was between October 7 to December 19. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) of the incidence rate from 2010 to 2022 was 13.70%, 95% CI (-8.62%~41.48%), and the incidence rate showed an upward trend (t=1.15, P=0.249). Conclusion The incidence of scrub typhus disease is strictly seasonal, and the incidence rate over the years shows an upward trend. It is necessary to strengthen monitoring and take various intervention measures to reduce the risk of scrub typhus disease.
