Objective To investigate the current status of postoperative analgesia practices among patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures in China to provide evidence-based support for formulating a standardized postoperative analgesia consensus and optimizing pain management strategies in the field of neurosurgery.Methods A questionnaire was designed with Wenjuanxing,covering 42 items in aspects including general information of participating medical institutions,current practices of neurosurgical postoperative analgesia,anesthesiologists'understanding and implementation of analgesic concepts,and the status of postoperative analgesic management.Distributed through the Chinese Association of Anesthesiologists,the questionnaire data were exported for descriptive statistical analysis after collection.Results A total of 116 medical institutions participated in this survey,with 178 valid questionnaires collected.Over 90%of respondents recognized the clinical necessity of postoperative analgesia for neurosurgical patients,while the actual implementation rate was only 53.9%.Although most hospitals adopted techniques such as local infiltration anesthesia,scalp nerve blocks,patient-controlled intravenous analgesia,and multimodal analgesia,their actual utilization rates remained low.Less than 50%of participating centers implemented preventive analgesia.Despite high awareness of chronic postoperative pain(96.9%),follow-up rates were relatively low.More than half of the institutions lacked acute pain service for neurosurgical analgesia management.Conclusion Postoperative analgesia in clinical neurosurgical practice in China currently remains suboptimal,with inadequate management.There is an urgent need to enhance public education,facilitate multidisciplinary collaboration,and formulate standardized guidelines for clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status(RBANS)in patients with maintenance hemodialysis(MHD).Methods The general information and medical history of 84 MHD patients were collected,and the Mini-Mental State Exam(MMSE),Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA),and RBANS were conducted.The reliability of the scale was assessed by Cronbach α and split-half reliability.The structure and convergent validity of the scale were assessed by confirmatory factor analysis,and the RBANS scores'correlation to MoCA and MMSE scores was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.The predictive value of the RBANS total score on cognitive impairment(CI)was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the RBANS total scale was 0.896,split-half reliability was 0.911,and reliability for the five dimensions of the RBANS ranged from 0.618 to 0.791.Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the overall fit of the five-dimensional model of the RBANS scale was acceptable(χ2/df=1.587,root mean square error of approximation=0.084,comparative fit index=0.967,incremental fit index=0.968,Tucker-Lewis index=0.947,goodness of fit index=0.891).The average variance extracted(AVE)for the five dimensions of the RBANS ranged from 0.525 to 0.863,while the composite reliability(CR)ranged from 0.733 to 0.926,indicating good convergent validity of the scale.Furthermore,Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the total RBANS score was negatively correlated to the age of MHD patients and positively correlated to years of education,as well as the total scores of MMSE and MoCA(all P<0.01).The ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under the curve(AUC)for the total RBANS score in predicting CI was 0.891(P<0.01),suggesting a high predictive value.Conclusion The Chinese version of RBANS has good reliability and validity in MHD patients,and can be used as a measure of cognitive function in MHD patients.

Objective To investigate the correlation between perioperative oxygen concentration and postoperative organ injury and other adverse reactions in children undergoing neurosurgery.Methods This study is a single-center retrospective cohort study,including 512 children aged≤14 years and operating duration≥2 hours who were transferred after surgery to postanesthesia care unit(PACU),Department of Anesthesiology,Beijing Tiantan Hospital,Capital Medical University from October 2018 to September 2023.His electronic medical record system was used to review and collect the patient's medical records during hospitalization.Including baseline data,anesthetic use,duration of anesthesia,intraoperative oxygen concentration,postoperative diagnosis,and surgical method;blood pressure,heart rate,oxygen saturation,pain score and special conditions during anesthesia recovery;infection during postoperative hospitalization(including wound infection,intracranial infection),respiratory complications[confirmed by chest radiograph/chest computed tomography(CT)report],changes in renal function(first postoperative serum creatinine value-last preoperative serum creatinine value),and incidence of delirium during recovery period during anesthesia were recorded.The area under oxygen concentration-time curve area under curve AUCFiO2=the product of intraoperative oxygen concentration(%)and duration of anesthesia(min)was calculated,and then 512 children were divided into 3 groups according to the AUCFiO2 tripartite(group 1:AUCFiO2<8 720%min,group 2:8 720%·min≤AUCFiO2≤13 800%·min,group 3:AUCFiO2>13 800%·min)were included in the data analysis.Results The incidence of emergency delirium(ED)during postoperative recovery was 24%,26.9%and 19.4%,and the incidence of acute kidney injury(AKI)was 0.6%,2.3%and 0.6%,respectively.There was no significant difference between the three groups(P>0.05).The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in the three groups was 20.6%,20.8%and 31.5%,respectively,and there was significant statistical difference among the three groups(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in nausea,vomiting,hypoxemia,and PACU residence time among the three groups during anesthesia recovery room(P>0.05),and there were significant differences in intracranial infection,wound infection and hospital stay during hospitalization(P<0.05).Conclusion Although oxygen concentration AUCFiO2 has no correlation with the occurrence of postoperative AKI and ED,the longer the exposure time of conventional oxygen administration strategy,the higher the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative infection,and the longer the hospitalization time of children.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of pregnancy outcomes after transcervical resection of polyp(TCRP)in infertility patients.Methods The data of 442 patients with infertility complicated with endometrial polyp(EP)underwent TCRP from March 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and the postoperative follow-up time was 12-24 months,and they were divided into postoperative pregnancy group(pregnancy group)and non-pregnant group(control group).The two groups were compared with age,body mass index(BMI),infertility type,abnormal uterine bleeding,adverse pregnancy history,number of EP,EP size,intraoperative negative pressure uterine aspiration,endometritis,TCRP operation time,and uterine cavity depth,and multivariate analysis was conducted on the influencing factors of pregnancy outcomes after TCRP in infertility patients.Results Among 442 infertility patients with EP,274 cases(62.0%)were in the pregnancy group and 168 cases(38%)in the control group.The factors influencing pregnancy after TCRP were age(OR=0.925,95%CI:0.881-0.972,P<0.05),abnormal uterine bleeding before surgery(OR=0.646,95%CI:0.432-0.967,P<0.05)and primary infertility(OR=2.105,95%CI:1.295-3.423,P<0.05).Conclusion TCRP can improve pregnancy outcomes in infertility patients with EP.Age and abnormal uterine bleeding before operation were the protective factors to increase pregnancy after TCRP in infertility patients.Primary infertility is a risk factor for pregnancy after TCRP in infertility patients.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of the patients with follicular cysts and menstrual disorders.Methods A total of 178 women with follicular cysts complicated by menstrual disorders were recruited,who were aged 23-53(38.62±6.35)years and came to the Department of Gynecological Endocrinology,Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital between August 2022 and July 2024.The participants were divided into three groups according to the age,with 27 women in the age group of 21-30 years(Group 1),77 in the age group of 31-40 years(Group 2),and 74 in the age group of>40 years(Group 3).The age and menstruation of these patients were collected,the body height,weight,follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),estradiol(E2),progesterone(Po),total testosterone(TT),prolactin(PRL),anti-müllerian hormone(AMH)and thyroid function[blood routine and blood clotting for patients with abnormal uterine bleeding(AUB)]were measured,and the diameter of ovarian cyst and the thickness of endometrium were examined.The clinical characteristics of the patients with follicular cysts complicated by menstrual disorders were described and compared with each other among the three age groups.Results ① Among 178 patients,61(34.3%)patients presented with complaints of cessation of regular menstruation or amenorrhea and 117(65.7%)with complaints of AUB.Out of 178 patients,13(7.3%)patients developed anemia due to AUB,and all the patients were treated with medication.② Follicular cysts disappeared in 1 month for 124(69.7%)patients,disappeared in 2 months for 176(98.9%)patients,and disappeared in 3 months for 178(100%)patients.A total of 177(99.4%)patients had follicular cysts with a diameter less than 5 cm,and only 1(0.6%)patient had follicular cysts with a diameter≥5 cm.③ The overall prevalence of diminished ovarian reserve(DOR)in patients with follicular cysts complicated by menstrual disorders was 82.0%,and the prevalence of DOR was 70.2%for the patients under 40 years old.The prevalence of DOR in three age groups was 37.0%(10/27),81.8%(63/77),and 98.6%(73/74),respectively.The prevalence of DOR gradually increased with age.④ The median AMH values for Group 1,Group 2,and Group 3 were 1.55,0.51,and 0.15 ng/mL,respectively.The FSH level in Group 3 was significantly higher than that in Groups 1 and 2(adjusted P<0.05),while the AMH level was significantly lower than that in Groups 1 and 2(adjusted P<0.05).The AMH level in Group 2 was lower than that in Group 1(adjusted P<0.05).Conclusion Patients with follicular cysts complicated by menstrual disorders are recommended to receive medication treatment,rather than just expecting treatment.The prevalence of DOR in patients with follicular cysts complicated by menstrual disorders is significantly higher than that in normal women,even in women younger than 40 years old.Therefore,it is essential to evaluate the ovarian reserve of these patients while treating menstrual disorders,particularly for young women with fertility needs.

Objective To explore the correlation between thyroid autoimmunity(TAI)and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)in Chinese euthyroid women.Methods A total of 508 euthyroid women were enrolled in the cross-sectional study,who performed their entire clinical/biological workup and oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)from the department of Gynecology and Endocrinology of the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Capital Medical University from June 2023 to June 2024.At median 8(6-10)weeks of gestation,thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH),free thyroxine(fT4),and thyroid peroxidase antibodies(TPOAb)were measured,baseline characteristics were recorded,and an OGTT was performed between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy.According to the OGTT results,they were divided into GDM group(n=169)and non GDM group(n=339).Thyroid parameters,the demographic and obstetric parameters,and the prevalence of TAI were compared with two groups.The factors associated with GDM were analyzed with multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results The age,body mass index(BMI),and proportion of obese women before pregnancy in the GDM group were all significantly higher than those in the non-GDM group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.001).The proportion of pregnant women over 30 years old in the GDM group was significantly higher than that in the non-GDM group(59.17%vs 6.79%,χ2=168.667,P<0.001).The proportion of obese mothers(BMI≥28 kg/m2)before pregnancy in the GDM group was 24.26%,which was significantly higher than that in the non-GDM group(8.26%)(χ2=24.599,P<0.001).The incidence of TAI in the GDM group was 54.44%,while it was 15.93%in the non-GDM group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ2=81.659,P<0.001).The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that maternal age over 30 years and pre-pregnancy obesity increased the risk of GDM occurrence in TAI women by 6.08 times(OR=6.08,95%CI 3.61-10.25,P<.001).Conclusion Among early pregnancy women with normal thyroid function,as age increases during follow-up(especially over 30 years old),pre-pregnancy BMI increases(especially in obese individuals),and those with pre-pregnancy TAI,the risk of developing GDM during pregnancy significantly increases.It is necessary to explore preventive strategies for GDM in euthyroid TAI women,with a view to improving adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Deep brain stimulation(DBS)has witnessed rapid advancement as a neurosurgical intervention over the past four decades,addressing movement disorders and a spectrum of neuropsychiatric conditions.Notably,subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation(STN-DBS)is widely implemented in the management of Parkinson's disease(PD)patients experiencing refractory motor fluctuations and complications,and has shown promise in ameliorating non-motor symptoms(NMS).However,the long-term efficacy of STN-DBS on NMS remains a subject of scholarly discourse.This review endeavors to synthesize current knowledge regarding the long-term impacts,underlying mechanisms,and future research directions of STN-DBS in the context of NMS in Parkinson's disease.

Objective To evaluate the impact of slow-freezing process on human ovarian tissue with the standard cryopreservation-thawing protocol of Fertility Protection Center of Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Capital Medical University.Methods Ovarian tissues of 12 patients were divided into fresh ovarian tissue group(fresh group)and freezing-thawing ovarian tissue group(F-T group).The freezing-thawing protocol was the standard protocol in our center.The number and activity of follicle were examined with Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and calcein-AM(calcein acetoxymethylester)staining,and the proliferation and apoptosis was evaluated with the immunohistochemical staining of Ki-67 and caspase-3.The expressions of apoptosis-related proteins such as caspase-3,bax and FasL between the two groups were compared with Western blotting.Results There were no statistically significant differences in follicle counting and follicle activity in ovarian tissues pre-and post-freezing-thawing(P>0.05),and the positive rate of Ki-67 in ovarian tissues after freezing-thawing was significantly lower than that in fresh ovarian tissues(P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in the positive rate of caspase-3 between the two groups(P>0.05).The expression of caspase-3 protein in ovarian tissues after freezing-thawing was significantly higher than that in fresh ovarian tissues(P<0.05),while the expressions of other apoptosis-related proteins such as bax and FasL were not significantly different(P>0.05).Conclusion The standard cryopreservation-thawing regimen in our center can effectively maintain the follicle number,morphology,and activity in ovarian tissues.After freezing and thawing,the cell proliferation level is decreased.The expression of apoptosis-related proteins such as bax and FasL are not increased,and the expression of caspase-3 is relatively increased.These results suggest our freezing-thawing regimen is good for human ovarian tissue.

Objective To analyze the current status of bone mineral density(BMD)in women with early menopause and explore the correlations between BMD with age,body mass index(BMI),total body fat mass,spinal fat mass,femoral fat mass,follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),estradiol(E2),and testosterone(T).Methods A total of 106 women with early menopause,who first visited the Department of Gynecological Endocrinology,Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2023 to May 2025,were recruited after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The spinal BMD,femoral BMD,total body fat mass,femoral fat mass,and spinal fat mass were measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DXA).The age,height,and weight of the patients were recorded,and serum levels of FSH,E2,and T were measured.Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlations between spinal and femoral BMD and age,FSH,E2,T,BMI,total body fat content,femoral fat content,and spinal fat content.The patients were divided into three groups based on BMD:normal bone mass,osteopenia,and osteoporosis.Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare BMI,fat content,age,FSH,E2,and T levels among the three groups.Bonferroni-corrected Mann-Whitney U test was used for pairwise comparisons of significant differences.Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors for femoral BMD T-score.Results Among the 106 patients with early menopause,30(28.3%)had normal bone mass,64(60.4%)had osteopenia,and 12(11.3%)had osteoporosis,with an average age of(43.99±0.16)years.Femoral BMD was positively correlated with BMI,total body fat mass,and spinal fat mass(all P<0.05).No significant differences were found in femoral fat mass,age,FSH,and T levels among the different bone mass groups,but,BMI,total body fat mass,spinal fat mass,and E2 were significantly different(P<0.05).BMI,total body fat mass,spinal fat mass and E2 were significantly higher in the normal bone mass group compared to the osteopenia group(P<0.05).The BMI of the normal bone mass group was significantly higher than that of the osteoporosis group(P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that FSH were influencing factors for femoral BMD T-scores(P<0.05).Conclusion The osteoporosis is more prevalent in women with early menopause.Femoral BMD is positively correlated with BMI,total body fat mass and spinal fat content.Elevated FSH is a risk factor for reduced femoral BMD T-score.Attention should be paid to the risk of osteoporosis in women with early menopause,and individualized treatment plans should be developed to reduce the prevalence of osteoporosis.

Objective To systematically analyze the changes in clinical indicators including blood leukocytes and neutrophils,liver and kidney functions,coagulation function,lipids,and levels of thyroid hormones and antibodies in Graves'ophthalmopathy(GO)patients who had undergone effective treatment with tocilizumab(TCZ)and to explore their clinical significance.Methods Eighty-five patients with moderately or severely active GO who were effectively treated with TCZ were enrolled.Early morning fasting blood was collected and tested for routine blood,biochemical routine,coagulation function,thyroid hormone and antibodies,and basic information such as gender,age,duration of the disease,history of smoking,comorbidities,and medications were also collected from all patients,so changes in the clinical indicators before and after the treatment could be analyzed and correlation analyses could be carried out.Results Patients with moderately to severely active GO treated with TCZ showed a significant decrease in absolute blood leukocyte and neutrophil values compared with before,and a significant decrease in liver function(alanine transaminase,aspartate aminotransferase,creatinine),cholesterol(total cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein)levels were significantly higher than before,and concentrations of coagulation parameters[prothrombin time,activated partial thromboplastin time,fibrinogen(FIB)and D-dimer]were significantly decreased.The concentrations of thyroid hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels increased significantly,and the antibody titer of thyrotropin receptor antibody(TRAB)was significantly down-regulated after treatment.TRAB levels were significantly correlated with FIB before treatment.Conclusion Thyroid function and antibody levels improved after TCZ treatment in patients with moderately to severely active GO,but blood leukocytes,liver function and coagulation function changed significantly compared with before.The results of this study confirm the therapeutic effect of TCZ on immune disorders in GO ophthalmopathy,while underscoring the importance of monitoring potential adverse effects in clinical treatment.
