Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy and safety of bilateral internal iliac artery Fogarty balloon occlusion in uterine curettage for patients with cesarean scar pregnancy(CSP).Methods The clinical data of a total of 80 CSP patients,who were admitted to the Fuyang People's Hospital of China between January 2021 and September 2022 to receive treatment,were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into the observation group(n=40)and the control group(n=40).For the patients of the observation group,the hysteroscopic uterine curettage was carried out under the situation of bilateral internal iliac artery Fogarty balloon occlusion and during the operation the internal iliac artery was intermittently blocked.The embryo was removed,and the hemostasis was accomplished by electrocoagulation or surgical suture.For the patients of the control group,the hysteroscopic uterine curettage was performed within 1-2 days after uterine artery embolization(UAE).The digital subtraction angiography(DSA)fluoroscopy time,body surface radiation dose,blood loss during uterine curettage,time spent for uterine curettage,length of hospital stay,and postoperative follow-up results were compared between the two groups.Results Successful uterine curettage was accomplished and the uterus was retained in all the patients.In the observation group,no balloon-related complications occurred.In the control group,all the 40 patients developed different degrees of fever,pain at uterine area,and other post-embolization symptoms after UAE.In the observation group and the control group,the DSA fluoroscopy time was(9.2±1.1)seconds and(1 273.6±141.1)seconds respectively,the body surface radiation dose was(7.7±0.8)mGy and(1 503.8±101.8)mGy respectively,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(both P＜0.05);the blood loss during uterine curettage was(30.3±14.7)mL and(27.5±13.2)mL respectively,the time spent for uterine curettage was(41.6±16.2)min and(42.8±15.0)min respectively,the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant(both P＞0.05);the length of hospital stay was(6.0±0.7)days and(7.3±0.8)days respectively,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).All patients were followed up for more than 3 months,the time of β-hCG turning to negative,time of vaginal bleeding,time of menstruation returning to normal,and patient satisfaction rate in the observation group were(21.1±2.4)days,(8.2±1.1)days,(29.5±2.2)days and 95.0%(38/40)respectively,which in the control group were(24.6±3.3)days,(13.6±2.6)days,(46.7±7.3)days and 67.5%(27/40)respectively,the differences in the above indexes between the two groups were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion In performing uterine curettage for CSP patients,both bilateral internal iliac artery Fogarty balloon occlusion and UAE can significantly reduce the intraoperative blood loss,but bilateral internal iliac artery Fogarty balloon occlusion is superior to UAE in reducing radiation dose,in shortening the patient's hospital stay,the time of β-hCG turning to negative,the time of vaginal bleeding and the time of menstruation returning to normal,and in improving the patient satisfaction rate.

Objective To evaluate the postoperative analgesia efficacy and clinical safety of hydro-morphone patients-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)in patients with scar pregnancy after auxiliary uterine artery embolization(UAE).Methods A total of 116 patients with scar pregnancy,who received auxiliary UAE at the Fuyang Municipal People's Hospital of China between January 2021 and September 2022,were enrolled in this study.According to the intravenous self-controlled analgesic drugs used after UAE,the patients were randomly and equally divided into observation group(n=58)and control group(n=58).Ten minutes before the procedure,intravenous injection of 2 mg hydromorphone(observation group)or 2 μg/kg sufentanyl(control group)was performed,and the PCIA pump was connected.In the observation group,the mixed solution of 10 mg hydromorphone+100 mg flurbiprofen axetil+100 mL saline was put in the analgesic pump,while in the control group,the mixed solution of 2 μg/kg sufentanyl+flurbiprofen axetil 100 mg+100 mL saline was put in the analgesic pump.The post-UAE 0.5-h,4-h,8-h,12-h,24-h and 48-h visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,the Bruggrmann comfort scale(BCS)scores,the number of pressing analgesic pump times within postoperative 48 hours,the used dosage of analgesic drugs,the adverse reactions,and the incidence of postoperative complications were recorded.Results The difference in the post-UAE 0.5-h VAS scores between the observation group and the control group was not statistically significant(P＞0.05),while the post-UAE 4-h,8-h,12-h,24-h and 48-h VAS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The post-UAE 0.5-h,4-h,8-h,12-h,24-h and 48-h BCS scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The number of pressing analgesic pump times and the used dosage of analgesic drugs within postoperative 48 hours in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).No statistically significant differences in the complications such as drowsiness,skin itching,hypoxia,or respiratory depression,etc.existed between the two groups,while the difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Hydromorphone and sufentanil PCIA can relieve the pain in scar pregnancy patients after UAE.Hydromorphone is superior to sufentanil in reducing the number of pressing analgesic pump times within postoperative 48 hours,reducing the used dosage of analgesic drugs,and decreasing the incidence of adverse reactions,therefore,hydromorphone PCIA has a certain promotion value.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:240-244)

;Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of renal capsular artery embolization(RCAE)combined with superselective renal artery embolization(SRAE)in the treatment of traumatic renal hemorrhage(TRH).Methods A total of 50 patients with TRH were retrospectively selected.Among them,25 patients in the observation group were treated with RCAE combined with SRAE;25 patients in the control group were treated with SRAE.The patients were followed up for 3 months,in which the improvement of related indicators and symptoms during the perioperative period and the occurrence of related complications within 3 months after surgery were recorded.Results Both groups of patients successfully underwent interventional surgery to control renal bleeding.There were no statistically significant differences in the location of vascular injury,angiographic manifestations,and embolization materials used for renal artery embolization(RAE)between the two groups(P＞0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in preoperative hemoglobin(Hb),visual analogue scale(VAS)score of renal pain,serum creatinine(Scr),systolic blood pressure,postoperative 7 d Scr and postoperative 1 month systolic blood pressure between the two groups(P＞0.05).When comparing postoperative 24 h Hb and VAS score of renal pain between the two groups,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The postoperative satisfaction rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the postoperative hospitalization time was shorter than that of the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Conclusion The treatment of TRH in both groups can increase Hb 24 h after surgery and reduce VAS score of renal pain 24 h after surgery.Compared with the control group,the observation group significantly can improve postoperative 24 h Hb and patient satisfaction rate,reduce postoperative 24 h VAS score of renal pain,and reduce postoperative hospitalization time.RCAE combined with SRAE is a safe,effective,and minimally invasive hemostasis method for the treatment of TRH and is worthy of promotion.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of heart rate variability(HRV)in obese patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods We retrospectively analyzed 78 patients with severe OSAHS diagnosed by polysomnography(PSG)in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from April 2018 to May 2022.According to body mass index(BMI),the patients were divided into obese with severe OSAHS group(43 cases)and non-obese with severe OSAHS group(35 cases).All patients received 24-hour Holter monitoring while on polysomnography monitoring.The differences in HRV indexes between the groups and the correlation between HRV and clinical indicators were analyzed.Results In terms of basic data and PSG indexes,the analysis results showed that compared with those in the non-obese OSAHS group,weight,BMI,neck circumference,waist circumference,and AHI in obese with severe OSAHS group were significantly higher,while the standard deviation of the 24-hour normal R-R interval(SDNN),the standard deviation of the 5-minute mean(SDANN),the triangle index(TI),the heart rate deceleration force(DC),the standard deviation of the normal R-R interval(awake SDNN),and high frequency during sleep in the obese with severe OSAHS group were significantly lower(P＜0.05).The correlation results showed that among obese with severe OSAHS patients,root mean square of the difference of adjacent R-R interval(rMSSD)was negatively correlated with the course of hypertension;TI and DC were negatively correlated with AHI.After adjusting for neck circumference and waist circumference,the linear regression analysis showed that SDNN,SDANN,and rMSSD were correlated with systolic blood pressure(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is significant decrease in HRV index in obese patients with severe OSAHS,suggesting that deterioration of cardiac autonomic nervous regulation function may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Objective: To explore the expression and distribution of μ-opioid receptors(MOR) in intracardiac ganglia(ICG) and the effect of its agonists on atrial fibrillation(AF). Methods: (1) The chemical anatomical characteristics of ICG in normal SD rats were studied by immunofluorescence single staining. The expression and distribution of MOR in ICG were detected by using immunofluorescence double staining, Western blot, and RT-PCR.(2) Forty male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal group, AF model group(AF group), solvent control group(AF-NS group), MOR-specific agonist endomorphin-2(EM2) drug group(AF-EM2 group) and DAMGO drug group(AF-DAMGO group). The AF model was established by tail vein injection of acetylcholine(Ach) and CaCl2, and drug intervention was given during modeling. The duration of AF before and after drug administration was monitored by collecting electrocardiograms. The protein and mRNA expression of MOR in ICG and connexin 43(CX43) in atrial tissue were detected by the method of Western blot and qRT-PCR. Results: (1) Peptide nerve fibers positive for substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide were found in the ICG, along with parasympathetic neurons positive for acetylcholine transferase and sympathetic neurons positive for tyrosine hydroxylase. The mRNA transcripts and protein of MOR were expressed in the atrial posterior wall tissue. MOR immunoreactive products were mainly distributed in the cell bodies of ICG neurons, primarily in parasympathetic and sympathetic neurons.(2) Compared with the Normal group, the expression ofMORmRNA and protein in ICG of the AF rat decreased(P<0.05). Compared with the AF-NS group, the duration of AF was shortened in the AF-EM2 group and AF-DAMGO group, and the expression of CX43 increased(P<0.05). Conclusion MOR is mainly expressed in sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons in ICG. The expression of MOR decreases in AF rats. MOR agonists alleviate AF.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in bile culture in patients with common bile duct stones and biliary tract infections, in order to guide clinical optimization of antibiotics application.Methods:From March 30, 2017 to December 31, 2021, at Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, 753 patients with common bile duct stones and biliary tract infections and received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography were selected. Bile samples were obtained for bacterial culture, strain type identification and drug sensitivity test in order to analyze bile pathogenic bacteria distribution, change trend and drug resistance. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:From 2017 to 2021, the total positive rate of bile culture in 753 patients with choledocholithiasis complicated with biliary tract infection was 90.17% (679/753). From 2017 to 2021, the positive rates of bile culture were 82.05% (64/78), 88.81% (119/134), 88.03% (125/142), 93.87% (199/212), and 91.98% (172/187), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=10.78, P=0.029). The positive rate of bile culture in 2017 was lower than those in 2020 and 2021, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=9.43 and 5.57, P=0.002 and 0.018). There were no significant differences in the positive rates of bile culture among the other years (all P>0.05). A total of 1 033 pathogenic bacteria were detected in the 679 bile specimens with positive bile culture results. Among which the total proportion of Gram-negative bacilli was 57.02% (589/1 033), and from 2017 to 2021 the proportions were 66.38% (77/116), 66.47% (111/167), 59.43% (104/175), 54.75% (173/316), and 47.88% (124/259), respectively. The total proportion of Gram-positive cocci was 41.05% (424/1 033), and from 2017 to 2021 the proportions were 31.90% (37/116), 31.74% (53/167), 38.86% (68/175), 44.30% (140/316), and 48.65% (126/259), respectively. The total proportion of fungus was 1.94% (20/1 033), and from 2017 to 2021 the proportions were 1.72% (2/116), 1.80% (3/167), 1.71% (3/175), 0.95% (3/316), and 3.47% (9/259), respectively. From 2017 to 2021, the proportion of Gram-negative bacilli gradually decreased, while the proportion of Gram-positive cocci gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=20.14 and 17.91, P<0.001 and =0.001). From 2017 to 2021, the change in the proportion of fungus was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The main Gram-negative bacilli in the bile culture were Escherichia coli (31.36%, 324/1 033) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.68%, 131/1 033); the main Gram-positive cocci were Enterococcus faecalis (14.04%, 145/1 033) and Streptococcus salivarius (4.36%, 45/1 033). From 2017 to 2021, the proportions of Escherichia coli were 39.66% (46/116), 38.92% (65/167), 33.14% (58/175), 28.48% (90/316), and 25.10% (65/259), respectively, with gradual decrease and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=14.34, P=0.006). From 2017 to 2021 the detection rates of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 30.43% (14/46), 26.15% (17/65), 29.31% (17/58), 38.89% (35/90), 40.00% (26/65), and 4/15, 20.00% (5/25), 20% (5/25), 24.32% (9/37), and 31.03% (9/29), and there were no significant differences in the detection rates of ESBL between different years (both P>0.05). Conclusions:From 2017 to 2021, the positive rate of bile culture in patients with choledocholithiasis complicated with biliary tract infection showed an overall increasing trend. Gram-negative bacilli were still dominated in bile pathogenic bacteria, while the proportion of Gram-positive cocci remarkably increased, and the bile bacterial spectrum significantly changed. Clinicians should adjust the antibiotic dosing regimens according to the variation of bacterial spectrum and drug resistance.

【Objective】 To construct a prediction model of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk in the general population by using nomogram in order to explore the independent risk factors of severe OSA and guide the early diagnosis and treatment. 【Methods】 We retrospectively enrolled patients who had been diagnosed by polysomnography and divided them into training and validation sets at the ratio of 7∶3. Patients were divided into severe OSA group and non-severe OSA group according to apnea hypopnea index (AHI)>30. Variables entering the model were identified by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model (Lasso), and logistic regression (LR) method. Then, multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to establish the nomogram, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the discriminative properties of the nomogram model. Finally, we conducted decision curve analysis (DCA) of nomogram model, STOP-Bang questionnaire and Berlin questionnaire to assess clinical utility. 【Results】 Through single factor and multiple factor logistic regression analyses, the independent risk factors for severe OSA were screened out, including moderate and severe sleepiness, family history of hypertension, history of smoking, drinking, snoring, history of suffocation, sedentary lifestyle, male, age, body mass index (BMI), waist and neck circumference. Lasso logistic regression identified smoke, suffocation time, snoring time, waistline, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and BMI as predictive factors for inclusion in the nomogram. The AUC of the model was 0.795 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.769-0.820] . Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated that the model was well calibrated (χ²=3.942, P=0.862). The DCA results on the visual basis confirmed that the nomogram had superior overall net benefits within a wide, practical threshold probability range which displayed the nomogram was higher than that of STOP-Bang questionnaire and Berlin questionnaire, which is clinically useful. The Clinical Impact Curve (CIC) analysis showed the clinical effectiveness of the prediction model when the threshold probability was greater than 82% of the predicted score probability value. The prediction model determined that the high-risk population with severe OSA was highly matched with the actual population with severe OSA, which confirmed the high clinical effectiveness of the prediction model. 【Conclusion】 The model performed better than STOP-Bang questionnaire and Berlin questionnaire in predicting severe OSA and can be applied to screening. And it can be helpful to the early diagnosis and treatment of OSA in order to reduce social burden.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and clinical characteristics of gastric inflammatory fibroid polyp(GIFP)for gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Methods 66 patients(68 lesions in total)with GIFP diagnosed by endoscopic or surgical resection from January 1,2013 to September 30,2022 were collected.According to the presence or absence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage,the patients were divided into bleeding group(n = 16)and non-bleeding group(n = 50).Collect clinical data on gender,age,clinical manifestations,lesion location and size,endoscopic characteristics,Helicobacter pylori infection,surgical methods and pathological results of each group of patients.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of endoscopic characteristics of GIFP for gastrointestinal hemorrhage,and summarize the clinical characteristics of GIFP with gastrointestinal hemorrhage,then calculate the rate of correct diagnosis.Results The age of the bleeding group was significantly younger than that of the non-bleeding group,and the lesion size was significantly larger than that of the non-bleeding group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The incidences of endoscopic neoplasm-like elevation of lesions,surface with erosion or ulceration,accompanied by ballvalve syndrome and ultrasonic gastroscopy with blood flow signals in the bleeding group were significantly higher than those in the non-bleeding group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05),but there were no statistical differences in other indicators between the two groups(P＞0.05).In order to further investigate the relationship between endoscopic characteristics and gastrointestinal hemorrhage,multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that neoplasm-like elevation,submucosal eminence,ulcer or erosion on the surface and ball valve syndrome were risk factors for gastrointestinal hemorrhage in GIFP(O(R)＞1,P＜0.05).The overall rate of GIFP correct diagnosis before surgery was 27.94%.The rate of diagnosis in patients echoendoscope before surgery was 38.78%,it was significantly higher than that without undergoing echoendoscope(χ2 = 20.82,P = 0.000).Conclusion The shape of the lesion,presence of ulcers or erosion on the surface,and presence of ball valve syndrome are risk factors for gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Preoperative endoscopic ultrasonography can improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis.When there is a risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage in GIFP,early endoscopic diagnosis and therapeutic resection should be performed to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures,which can improve prognosis and improve patient quality of life.

Objective : To explore the expression of the μ⁃opioid receptor ( MOR) and the effects of intracellular vesicle transport on the MOR expression during endomorphin 2 ( EM2) analgesia. Methods : Adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups : control (naive) group , neuropathic pain group and drug group. Spared nerve injury (SNI) induced neuropathic pain rats were employed as the pain model. The drug group rats were the SNI pain ones intrathecally injected with EM2. The methods of immunofluorescence single staining and Western blot were used to detect the expression of MOR total protein , phosphorylated protein and Rab7 protein. Immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the expression of MOR/Rab7 and MOR/LAMP1 co⁃labeled immunoreactivity. Results : Compared with the control group , the expression of total MOR protein and phosphorylated protein in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of the SNI pain rats decreased (P < 0. 05) , and the expression of Rab7 significantly increased (P < 0. 05) . The expression of MOR/Rab7 co⁃labeled immunoreactivity in Rab7 and MOR immunoreactive ( Ⅳir) products and MOR/LAMP1 co⁃labeled immunoreactivity in MOR and LAMP1 ⁃ir products both increased (P < 0. 05) . Multiple intrathecal injection of EM2 significantly increased paw withdrawal threshold in the SNI neuropathic pain rats (P < 0. 01) , the expression of MOR protein and phosphorylated protein in DRG was increased (P < 0. 05) , while the expression of Rab7 decreased (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the control group , the expression of MOR/Rab7 positive products in Rab7 and MOR positive ones decreased , and the expression of MOR/LAMP1 positive products in LAMP1 and MOR positive markers decreased ( P < 0. 05 ) . Conclusion In the process of analgesia , EM2 inhibits the expression of Rab7 in the DRG of SNI neuropathic pain rats , reduces the transport of MOR to lysosomes , and promotes the re⁃sensitization of MOR.
