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 clinical effect of proper management of inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA) in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. The clinical and pathological data of 70 patients who received LPD due to pancreatic head tumors, periampullary tumors, or distal common bile duct tumors in the Pancreatic Center of the Second Clinical College of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from January to December 2022 were retrospectively collected. There were 47 males(67.1%) and 23 females(32.9%),aged (59.9±12.8)years(range:13 to 87 years).The procedure of IPDA exposure was as follows:a middle approach was utilized to expose the right half of superior mesenteric artery(SMA) and its right branches between the SMA and superior mesenteric vein(SMV) in superior colonic region. In the subcolonic region,SMA trunk exposure via dissection along the jejunal artery from feet to head and identification the association between IPDA and jejunal artery were prior to IPDA root ligation and dissection. The safety and efficacy of intraoperative IPDA handling were assessed based on surgical videos. Follow-up was carried out in outpatient clinic or by telephone, and outpatient follow-up was conducted once every 1 to 3 months after surgery.Results:The percentage of total LPD was 98.6%(69/70),with all patients achieving R0 resection. Nine cases(12.9%) were involved in combined vascular resection and reconstruction,with 1 case (1.4%) requiring additional upper abdominal incision for vascular and gastrointestinal reconstruction,while the remaining eight cases (11.4%) were completed laparoscopically. The operative time was (432.7±115.4)minutes(range:282 to 727 minutes), and the blood loss was (140.0±125.7)ml(range:20 to 800 ml). Only two patients(2.9%) received fresh frozen plasma transfusion,with an average volume of 650 ml. Reliable ligation and safe handling of the IPDA were achieved in 91.4%(64/70) of cases, with 8.6%(6/70) suffering from IPDA injury-related bleeding. No one was converted to opened surgery. Pathologically,the mean tumor size was (3.3±1.6)cm (range:1 to 7 cm),and the mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 17.0±7.3(range:0 to 46). Lymph node metastasis was observed in 13 cases (18.6%). Five cases (13.2%) developed grade B pancreatic fistula,while no grade C pancreatic fistula occurred. Other complications included bile leakage in one case(1.4%),delayed gastric emptying in two cases(2.9%), lymphatic leakage in 2 cases(2.9%),intra-abdominal infection in 9 cases(12.9%),and fat liquefaction of surgical incision in 1 case(1.4%). Two cases(2.9%) experienced postoperative intra-abdominal bleeding,one due to mesangial bleeding of lesser curvature of the stomach and the other due to oozing from the hepatic arterial sheath. These bleeding events were not concerned with IPDA. The average length of postoperative hospital stay was (15.2±4.6)days(range:9 to 28 days).Conclusion:Proper intraoperative management of IPDA in LPD might reduce IPDA-related bleeding during and after surgery and improve the safety of LPD.

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 describe functional disability rate of anxiety disorders in Chinese community adults and explore related risk factors of functional disability.Methods:To conduct in-depth data analysis on China Mental Health Survey(CMHS).The diagnostic tool for anxiety disorders was the Composite International Diagnostic Inter-view-3.0,according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ).The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule,2nd edition,was the functional disability assessment standard for anxiety disorders.Weighted 12-month functional disability rate of DSM-Ⅳ anxiety disorder with co-morbidities and only anxiety disorder in population and those in patients,as well as days of partial disability were calculated.The effects of anxiety disorders comorbid other mental disorders and physical diseases and demographic factors on the severity and occurrence of functional disability were analyzed by multiple linear regression and logis-tic regression.Results:The functional disability rate of anxiety disorder with comorbidities in population was 1.7％,and 42.2％in patients,in which constituent rate of grade-four disability was the highest as 84.1％.The functional disability rate of only anxiety disorder in population was 0.3％,and 17.8％in patients.The medians of days of partial disability days in the past 30 days were from 0 to 14.42.Multiple linear regression showed a positive association between comorbid anxiety disorder with other mental disorders and physical diseases(β=0.24),comor-bid other mental disorders and physical diseases(β=0.21),physical diseases(β=0.18),comorbid anxiety disor-der and physical diseases(β=0.15),comorbid anxiety disorder with other mental disorders(β=0.08),other men-tal disorders(β=0.07),only anxiety disorder(β=0.06),lower education level(β=0.12),lower economic status(β=0.08),older age(β=0.06),non-marital status(β=0.06),male(β=0.02)and the severity of functional dis-ability.Logistic regression showed that comorbid anxiety with other mental disorders and physical diseases(OR=64.07),comorbid anxiety disorders with other mental disorders(OR=36.75),comorbid other mental disorders with physical diseases(OR=20.60),comorbid anxiety with physical diseases(OR=18.88),anxiety disorder(OR=9.20),other mental disorders(OR=6.65),physical diseases(OR=4.00),65 years old and over(OR=4.40),50 to 64 years old(OR=2.33),low economic status(OR=2.10),illiterate and below primary school educational level(OR=1.89),middle economic status(OR=1.70),elementary school educational level(OR=1.59),non-marital status(OR=1.47),male(OR=1.16)were the risk factors of the occurrence of functional disability.Conclusion:Comorbidity of anxiety disorders and other mental disorders,and physical diseases increases severity and occurrence of functional disability.Comorbidity,male,gender,older age,lower economic and educa-tional level and non-marital are risk factors of anxiety disorder functional disability.

Objective:To describe disability rates of dementia in community residents aged 65 years and over in China,and explore related risk factors of disability.Methods:This study conducted an in-depth data analysis of the China Mental Health Survey.World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0(WHODAS 2.0)was used to assess dementia disability,Community Screening Interview for Dementia(CSID)and Geriatric Mental Status Examination(GMS)were used for dementia screening and diagnosing.Univariate analysis was used to calcu-late the weighted disability rates of dementia in population and in patients,and their population distribution.Multiple linear regression and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of the occurrence of dementia disability and its severity.Results:The weighted disability rate of dementia was 2.1％in population,and 38.6％in pa-tients.The disability rates of comorbid dementia in population and in patients were higher than those of patients with only dementia.Female,older age,lower education level,lower economic status,and lower cognitive test scores in CSID had higher disability rates of dementia in population.Female and urban resident had higher disability rates of dementia in patients.Multiple linear regression showed economic status(β=0.11),gender(β=0.11),age(β=0.10),and treatment in the last 12 months(β=-0.20)were statistically associated with WHODAS 2.0 scores.Multiple logistic regression showed female(OR=2.81)and treatment in the last 12 months(OR=2.38)were statistically associated with disability.Conclusions:Persons with low economic status,female and elderly peo-ple are the high-risk groups for dementia disability.It should be paid attention to prevent dementia and its conse-quential disabilities.

Spinal cord injury, a severe injury of the central nervous system, shows high disability and mortality rate and seriously affects the patients′ quality of life. It is difficult to restore the spinal cord and achieve satisfactory neurological function improvement with various current treatments for spinal cord injury. Electric stimulation can accelerate axonal growth and myelination and promote nervous tissue repair and regeneration. Conductive hydrogels that can load electric stimulation have great potential in the treatment of spinal cord injuries. Under electric stimulation, different types of conductive hydrogels have different characteristics and can perform a variety of functions. However, clinicians still lack a comprehensive understanding of their application effects in repair of spinal cord injury. To this end, the authors reviewed the research progress on the role of electric stimulation as well as the characteristics and applications of different types of conductive hydrogels in repair of spinal cord injury to provide references for the synthesis and clinical transformation of conductive hydrogels for repair of spinal cord injury.
