ObjectiveTo compare the incidence of postoperative shivering between female patients undergoing gynecological and general surgery and to examine perioperative factors associated with postoperative shivering. MethodsThis retrospective study included 12 186 patients who underwent gynecological or general surgery between January 1, 2022, and March 15, 2024, of whom 10 884 female patients constituted the primary analysis population. Among the female patients, 1:1 nearest-neighbor propensity score matching was performed using a caliper of 0.02 on the raw propensity score scale, with exact matching on American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status. After matching, the incidence of postoperative shivering was compared using the McNemar test. Conditional logistic regression stratified by matched pair was used to assess the associations of surgical categories and perioperative factors with postoperative shivering. ResultsBefore propensity score matching, the incidences of postoperative shivering were 2.98% (28/940) in the general surgery group and 4.94% (491/9 944) in the gynecological surgery group (P=0.007). After matching, 881 matched pairs were obtained, and the absolute standardized mean differences (SMDs) for all covariates were < 0.10. The incidences of postoperative shivering were 3.06% (27/881) in the general surgery group and 4.99% (44/881) in the gynecological surgery group. The McNemar test without continuity correction yielded P=0.044, whereas the exact McNemar test showed a P value of 0.057. Unifactorial conditional logistic regression showed that gynecological surgery was associated with higher odds of postoperative shivering than general surgery [odds ratio (OR)=1.63, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-2.63, P=0.046]. However, the association was not statistically significant in the multifactorial conditional logistic regression [adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=1.62, 95%CI: 0.78-3.37, P=0.197]. Each 30-min increase in the duration of surgery was associated with 32% higher odds of postoperative shivering (aOR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.07-1.62, P=0.009). Each 1 °C increase in the minimum intraoperative body temperature was associated with lower odds of postoperative shivering, although the association did not reach statistical significance (aOR=0.32, 95%CI: 0.10-1.02, P=0.053). ConclusionAfter propensity score matching, the incidence of postoperative shivering was higher among female patients undergoing gynecological surgery than among those undergoing general surgery; however, neither the exact comparison nor the adjusted association reached statistical significance. A longer duration of surgery was associated with higher odds of postoperative shivering, whereas a higher minimum intraoperative body temperature may be associated with lower odds.

Objective To investigate the effect of Osthole on memory function of sleep deprivation(SD) mice. Methods Forty-eight male mice were randomly divided into 4 groups;normal control group(NC group ), large platform control group(TC group),sleep deprivation group(M group)and Osthole group(Ost group). The model of SD in mice was estabished by using improved multi platform method. The ability of learning and memory was tested by using Morris water maze test and pathological changes of hippocampal neurons in mice were observed by HE staining. The serum,hippcampus malondialdehyde(MDA)contents and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity, so as the hippocampus No content,were detected. Results Compared with NC group and TC group,the escape la-tency of M group increased significiantly and the number of crossing platform decreased significantly. There were in-creased levels hippocampus tissue,serum MDA level,hippocampal SOD activity and NO content. After supplemen-tation of Osthole,the escape latency significantly shortened in mice. The number of crossing platform was increased while the contents of MDA both in hippocampus and serum were decreased,and the SOD activity in hippocampus re-turned to normal. However,the level of NO in hippocampus was not decreased. Conclusion Osthole can protect the memory function of SD mice by reducing the the damage of hippocampal neurons through antioxidant stress.
