Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oliceridine for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients.Methods:The patients with moderate to severe pain (numeric pain rating scale ≥4) after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia from 14 hospitals between July 6, 2021 and November 9, 2021 were included in this study. The patients were assigned to either experiment group or control group using a random number table method. Experiment group received oliceridine, while control group received morphine, and both groups were treated with a loading dose plus patient-controlled analgesia and supplemental doses for 24 h. The primary efficacy endpoint was the drug response rate within 24 h after giving the loading dose. Secondary efficacy endpoints included early (within 1 h after giving the loading dose) drug response rates and use of rescue medication. Safety endpoints encompassed the development of respiratory depression and other adverse reactions during treatment.Results:After randomization, both the full analysis set and safety analysis set comprised 180 cases, with 92 in experiment group and 88 in control group. The per-protocol set included 170 cases, with 86 in experiment group and 84 in control group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in 24-h drug response rates, rescue analgesia rates, respiratory depression, and incidence of other adverse reactions ( P>0.05). The analysis of full analysis set showed that the experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-30 min after giving the loading dose compared to control group ( P<0.05). The per-protocol set analysis indicated that experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-15 min after giving the loading dose than control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:When used for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients, oliceridine provides comparable analgesic efficacy to morphine, with a faster onset.

Objective To analyze the incidence and risk factors of hypothermia in elderly patients with malnutrition during proximal femoral nail antirotation(PFNA)internal fixation under general anesthesia.Methods A total of 139 elderly patients underwent PFNA internal fixation under general anesthesia were selected,and the nutritional status scores 1 day before surgery ranged from 0 to 11 points.Univariate and multivariate Logistic binary regression analysis was performed to analyze the related factors that may lead to intraoperative hypothermia.Results Among 139 elderly patients with preoperative nutritional scores of 0 to 11 points,79 cases(56.83%)developed intraoperative hypothermia.The results of univariate and multivariate Logistic binary regression analysis suggested that age≥75 years old,mini nutritional assessment short form(MNA-SF)nutritional score 0 to 7 points,BMI<18.5 kg/m2,duration of general anesthesia≥2 hours,intraoperative flushing fluid volume≥1 000 mL and intraoperative fluid volume≥1 000 mL were the risk factors for the occurrence of intraoperative hypothermia in elderly patients(OR>1,P<0.05).The use of warm blanket insulation was the protective factor against the occurrence of intraoperative hypothermia(OR<1,P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia during PFNA internal fixation under general anesthesia in elderly patients with mainutrition before operation is high,and patients with poor nutritional status are more likely to develop intraoperative hypothermia.Patients with older age,poor nutritional status,lower BMI,longer duration of general anesthesia,and more intraoperative flushing fluid volume and intraoperative fluid volume are likely to lead to intraoperative hypothermia.The use of warm blanket can reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia.

Objective:To compare the predictive value of different cardiac ultrasound indexes in mechanical ventilation withdrawal / weaning outcome of intensive care unit (ICU) respiratory failure.Methods:Patients who received mechanical ventilation for >48 hours and were to be withdrawn due to respiratory failure in the Department of Critical Care Medicine, 921st Hospital of the People′s Liberation Army from October 2020 to March 2023 were continuously selected, and their general information, mechanical ventilation conditions, and relevant weaning inspection indicators were recorded. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (LVOT-VTI), left heart Tei index (TI), ratio of early mitral valve diastolic peak blood flow velocity to early mitral ring diastolic peak motion velocity (E/e′) were measured by ultrasound. According to the weaning outcome, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of different cardiac ultrasound indexes were plotted to evaluate the predictive value of the withdrawal outcome.Results:A total of 83 patients were included, of which 62 were successfully withdrawn and 21 were unsuccessful. There were significant differences in mechanical ventilation time, rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), LVEF, VTI, left cardiac TI and E/e′ between the successful group and the failed group (all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis suggested that mechanical ventilation time and E/e′ were independent factors affecting the outcome of patients with respiratory failure ( OR=0.603, 0.282, all P<0.05). The area under ROC curve of E/e′ predicting mechanical ventilation withdrawal/ weaning failure was 0.844(95% CI: 0.729-0.959), which was superior to the RSBI and other cardiac ultrasound indexes. Conclusions:Echocardiography has predictive value for the outcome of mechanical ventilation of respiratory failure, and E/e′, which reflects the diastolic function of the heart, is the most effective predictor, but it is not suitable for single index prediction.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of serum levels of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),growth differentiation factor-15(GDF-15),type Ⅰ procollagen C-terminal propeptide(PⅠCP)and type Ⅲ procollagen C-terminal propeptide(PⅢCP)for acute left ventricular failure(ALVF)in patients with angina pectoris.Methods:A total of 316 patients with angina pectoris who were treated in Hospital of China Uni-versity of Geosciences(Wuhan)between July 2019 and October 2021 were selected as study group,another 200 healthy subjects undergoing physical examination in our hospital simultaneously were enrolled as control group,then serum levels of NT-proBNP,GDF-15,PⅠCP and PⅢCP were compared between two groups.Incidence of ALVF in study group during hospitalization was observed.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze influencing factors of ALVF in patients with angina pectoris,and ROC curve was used to analyze predictive value of above ser-um indexes for ALVF in patients with angina pectoris.Results:Serum levels of NT-proBNP,GDF-15,PⅠCP and PⅢCP in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.001 all).Serum levels of above indexes in patients with unstable angina pectoris were significantly higher than those of patients with stable angina pectoris(P＜0.001 all).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that age≥65 years,unstable angi-na pectoris,angina grade Ⅲ and serum levels of NT-proBNP,GDF-15,PⅠCP and PⅢCP were independent risk factors of ALVF in angina patients(OR=1.885～3.428,P＜0.05 or＜0.01);ROC analysis indicated that area under the curve of combined detection of serum NT-proBNP,GDF-15,PⅠ CP and PⅢCP predicting ALVF in angina patients was 0.947,which was significantly higher than single detection of above indexes(AUC=0.826,0.727,0.759,0.733,P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Conclusion:Serum levels of NT-proBNP,GDF-15,PⅠCP and PⅢCP significantly increase in angina patients,and they are all independent risk factors of ALVF in angina pectoris,and the combination of the four indexes has high predictive value for ALVF in these patients.

Objective To compare regional pulmonary ventilation and perfusion and ventilation/perfusion(V/Q)matching in different body positions using electrical impedance tomography(EIT).Methods Ten healthy experimental pigs were selected to collect their EIT lung ventilation and perfusion data in supine,prone,left lateral and right lateral positions.The EIT data underwent analysis and image reconstruction using MATLAB R2022b and EIDORS v3.9.The effective regions with ventilation and perfusion were determined and the V/Q matching regions were computed with the maximum pixel value 20％as the threshold.Comparisons were carried out over the V/Q matching indexes including V/Q match％,dead space％and shunt％and ventilation and perfusion distribution in regions of interest(ROIs)including ROI1,ROI2,ROI3 and ROI4 in different body positions.Results The differences in V/Q match％,dead space％and shunt％of the experimental animals in varied positions were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The regional distribution of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion changed in different positions,and the regional distributions differed in ROIl,ROI2 and ROI3 for ventilation(P＜0.05)and in ROI1 and ROI2 for perfusion(P＜0.05).The ventilation and perfusion regions were distributed consistently with the gravity-dependent areas in supine and prone positions whereas conversely in the right and left lateral positions.Conclusion The V/Q matching indexes of one subject have high test consistency in different body positions;gravity-dependent areas varied with the changes of the body positions,which affected the distribution of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion regions;EIT can be used for measuring the changed pulmonary ventilation and perfusion due to different positions and determining the influences of position changes on pulmonary ventilation and perfusion and V/Q matching.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(5):1-7]

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. As an amplifier of the inflammatory response, TREM-1 is mainly involved in the production of inflammatory mediators and the regulation of cell survival. TREM-1 has been studied in infectious diseases and more recently in non-infectious disorders. More and more studies have shown that TREM-1 plays an important pathogenic role in kidney diseases. There is evidence that TREM-1 can not only be used as a biomarker for diagnosis of disease but also as a potential therapeutic target to guide the development of novel therapeutic agents for kidney disease. This review summarized molecular biology of TREM-1 and its signaling pathways as well as immune response in the progress of acute kidney injury, renal fibrosis, diabetic nephropathy, immune nephropathy, and renal cell carcinoma.
