Objective:To evaluate the effect of trans-nasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) on the early postoperative atelectasis in patients undergoing prolonged non-intubated intravenous anesthesia for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.Methods:In this randomized double-blind controlled trial, 150 patients of either sex, aged 18-80 yr, with American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ and body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, scheduled for endoscopic mucosal resection of multiple colorectal polyps at Northern Jiangsu People′s Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from February 18 to June 15, 2024, were divided into 2 groups ( n=75 each) using simple random allocation: THRIVE group (group T) and conventional oxygen therapy group (group C). In group T, the oxygen flow rate was 10 L/min before anesthesia induction and increased to 50 L/min after induction until the end of operation, and the inhaled oxygen concentration was 100%. Group C used conventional mask oxygen inhalation, with an oxygen flow rate of 10 L/min during anesthesia induction and maintenance. Lung ultrasonography was performed immediately before anesthesia induction and after the end of surgery, and the modified lung ultrasound score and diaphragm mobility during quiet breathing were recorded to assess the occurrence of atelectasis and diaphragmatic dysfunction. The lowest intraoperative SpO 2 value, adverse events during surgery and in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), duration of PACU stay, adverse events within 7 days after operation, hospitalization duration, and satisfaction scores of both patients and endoscopists were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the postoperative modified lung ultrasound score and incidence of atelectasis and diaphragmatic dysfunction were significantly decreased, the lowest intraoperative SpO 2 value was increased, the incidence of hypoxemia was decreased, the duration of PACU stay was shortened, and endoscopists′ satisfaction scores were increased ( P<0.05), and no statistically significant changes were observed in diaphragm mobility, incidence of other intraoperative adverse events, incidence of adverse events during PACU stay and within 7 days after operation, or patients′ satisfaction scores in group T ( P>0.05). Conclusions:THRIVE can reduce the risk of early postoperative atelectasis and intraoperative hypoxemia, thereby promoting postoperative recovery of patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy under long-term non-intubated anesthesia.

Depression is a heterogeneous mental disorder in which the interaction between genetic susceptibility and environ-mental factors plays a key role in its pathogenesis.Although the specific mechanisms of the disease still need to be thoroughly studied and elucidated,there is now a broad consensus that epi-genetic markers have a central influence on its mechanism of ac-tion.DNA methylation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BD-NF)is not only regarded as a promising epigenetic biomarker of pathology,but may also help predict the efficacy of antidepres-sants.In this paper we reviewed the gene structure of BDNF and its DNA methylation regulation mechanism,and also analyzed the changes of DNA methylation of this factor in depression pa-tients and animal models,aiming to provide new ideas and theo-retical support for clinical research.

Objective This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy and complications associated with microwave ablation(MWA)and sublobectomyfor treating stage ⅠA non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Data from stage ⅠA1-ⅠA3 NSCLC patients treated at Yunnan Cancer Hospital between January 2021 and December 2022 were retrospectively collected.A total of 82 patients who underwent MWA and 82 patients who received sublobectomy were selected through propensity score matching.Periprocedural conditions,short-term efficacy,and complications were compared between the two groups.Progression-free survival(PFS)and Disease-free survival(DFS)were monitored and evaluated.The Kaplan-Meier method was employed to construct survival curves,and logistic regression was utilized to analyze the factors influencing complications.Results The MWA group exhibited shorter procedure times,less intraprocedural blood loss,less postprocedure pain,shorter hospitalization durations,and lower hospitalization costs compared to the sublobectomy group(P<0.001).All patients successfully underwent the procedures,with a complete ablation rate of 97.6%and a local control rate of 87.8%in the MWA group.The median follow-up duration was 26.5 months.Survival curve analysis indicated no statistically significant differences in PFS and DFS between the two groups.The primary complications observed were pneumothorax(24.4%,20/82)and moderate to severe pain(11.0%,9/82)in the MWA group,while the sublobectomy group experienced moderate to severe pain(41.5%,34/82)and pulmonary infection(12.2%,10/82).Single-factor analysis demonstrated six variables influenced the occurrence of MWA pneumothorax.Multi-factor logistic regression revealed that the shortest distance from the tumor to the pleura(P=0.021,OR=15.341,95%CI:1.699～24.367)and the number of punctures through the pleura(P=0.024,OR=0.068,95%CI:0.001～0.612)were identified as independent risk factors for pneumothorax.Conclusion MWA demonstrates good efficacy for treating stage ⅠA NSCLC due to minimal trauma,low cost,rapid recovery,few and mild complications.Additionally,MWA and sublobectomy exhibit comparable PFS and DFS,making MWA a safe and effective treatment method.Therefore,MWA is worthy of promotion in clini-cal practice.

Aim To study whether intravenous injec-tion of miR-129-3p mimetic(agomir)can resist bone loss caused by hind limb disuse,and to provide new i-deas for preventing bone loss in microgravity environ-ment.Methods Forty-eight C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into the control group(CON),tail suspension model group(TS),tail suspension+miR-129-3p agomir administration group(miRNA)and tail suspension+miR-129-3p negative sequence agomir control group(NC).The miRNA group was given 4 mg·kg-1 miR-129-3p agomir by intravenous injection into the medial canthus twice a week.The NC agomir group were consistent with those in the miR-129-3p agomir group,and the CON and TS groups were given only equal volumes of normal saline.After four weeks,all mice were sacrificed and samples were collected.Micro-CT scan of femur,three-point femur bending test,serum bone metabolism index detection,oxidative stress index detection and osteogenesis-related protein expression analysis in bone tissue were per-formed.Results After four weeks,the number of tra-becular bone in the TS group was significantly re-duced,and Tb.BMD,Tb.Th,Tb.N,Tb.BS/TV and Tb.BV/TV were significantly lower than those in the CON group(P＜0.01).While Tb.Sp TS group was significantly higher than the CON group(P＜0.05),the maximum load and flexural strength of the femur significantly decreased(P＜0.01),the content of ser-um bone formation index PINP was significantly lower than that of the CON group(P＜0.01),and the con-tent of bone resorption index CTX-I was significantly higher than that of the CON group(P＜0.01),the content of serum oxidative damage indexes 8-iso-PGF2α and 8-OHdG significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the expression of osteogenesis-related pro-teins in bone tissue markedly decreased(P＜0.01).However,the increase or decrease of all indexes in miRNA group was significantly lower than that in TS group.Conclusions miR-129-3p mimetic can signifi-cantly reduce bone loss caused by hind limb disuse.This experiment provides a new idea and method for preventing bone loss in microgravity environment.
