Objective To observe the effect of ultrasound-guided iliopsoas plane block(IPB)on the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.Methods Sixty patients who underwent hip arthroplasty were selected,37 males and 23 females,aged 40-79 years,BMI 18-30 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ.The patients were divided into two groups by random number table method:the iliopsoas plane block group(group IPB)and the femoral nerve block(FNB)group(group FNB),30 pa-tients in each group.Before anesthesia induction,IPB was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 10 ml and lat-eral femoral cutaneous nerve block was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 5 ml in group IPB.And FNB was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 10 ml and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 5 ml in group FNB.The dosages of propofol,remifentanil,and cis-atracurium during operation were recorded.The quality of recovery-15(QoR-15)scale was evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively 1 day,2 and 3 days.The max VAS(VASmax)pain score and manual muscle test(MMT)score of quadri-ceps muscle were recorded 12,24,and 48 hours after surgery.The time of getting out of bed for the first time,opioid dosage,and patient satisfaction were recorded.The incidence of nerve injury,vascular injury,puncture site infection,and local anesthetic poisoning were recorded.The postoperative complications of diz-ziness,nausea and vomiting,deep vein thromboses,and elirium were also recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the dosage of propofol,remifentanil,and cis-atracurium between the two groups.Compared with group FNB,the QoR-15 scale score in group IPB was significantly higher 1 day,2 and 3 days after operation(P＜0.05).Compared with group FNB,the MMT scores of quadriceps muscle was sig-nificantly higher in group IPB 12 and 24 hours after surgery(P＜0.05),and the first time of getting out of bed was shortened in group IPB(P＜0.05).However,there were no significant differences in the VASmax pain score,MMT score of quadriceps muscle 48 hours after surgery,opioid dosage,and patient satisfaction between the two groups.No nerve block related complications were found in both groups.There were no sig-nificant differences in postoperative complications between the two groups.Conclusion The iliopsoas plane block can improve the quality of postoperative recovery and accelerate the recovery of patients with hip re-placement,and the effect is better than that of femoral nerve block.

Objective To investigate the effect of early glucose metabolism abnormality on skeletal muscle content of young men.Methods 88 males who underwent physical examinations in our hospital from September 2020 to September 2021 were divided into normal blood glucose group(NGT,n=47)and IGR group(n=41),according to their FPG and 2 hPG levels.FPG,FIns and visceral fat area(VFA)were measured.HOMA-IR,HOMA-β,skeletal muscle index(SMI)and body fat ratio(BFR)were calculated.Results Compared with NGT group,the males in IGR group showed elevated BMI,WC,FPG,2 hPG,HOMA-IR and VFA(P＜0.05),but decreased HDL-C and SMI(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that SMI was negatively correlated with BMI,WC,FPG,2 hPG,HOMA-IR,VFA and BFR in young men(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI was the influencing factor of FPG,while SMI was the influencing factor of 2 hPG.Conclusions In young men with abnormal glucose metabolism,the postprandial blood glucose significantly increase with the decrease of skeletal muscle content,and fasting blood glucose is mainly affected by BMI.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Decoction against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by regulating lipid metabolism through the cAMP/PKA/PPARγ pathway.Methods 60 rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(Sham),model group(Model),Buyang Huanwu Decoction low-dose group(BHD-L),Buyang Huanwu Decoction medium-dose group(BHD-M),Buyang Huanwu Decoction high-dose group(BHD-H)and Butylphthalide group(NBP).The cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was prepared by transient middle cerebral artery embolization.The BHD low-,medium-and high-groups were given different doses of Buyang Huanwu Decoction(6.413,12.825,25.65 g·kg-1)by intragastric administration.The NBP group was administered with Butylphthalide(54 mg·kg-1).The sham operation group and the model group were administered with an equal volume of distilled water,all given for 14 days.The rats were subjected to neurobehavioral scoring.HE staining was used to observe brain pathological changes,and the kit was used to detect the levels of phosphocholine(PC),phosphatidylethanolamine(PE),diacylglycerol(DAG),and free fatty acid(FFA)on the ischemic side.RT-qPCR and Western Blot were applied to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP),protein kinase A(PKA),and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ(PPARγ).Results Compared with the sham group,the neurological deficit score was significantly increased(P＜0.01),pathomorphological damage in ischemic cortex was found,the contents of PC and PE were reduced,the contents of DAG and FFA were increased(P＜0.01),and cAMP mRNA expression increased(P＜0.05)in the model group.Compared with the model group,the neurological deficit score of the BHD-L group was decreased(P＜0.05),and the neurological deficit score of the BHD-M,BHD-H and NBP groups was significantly decreased(P＜0.01),the cells in each treatment group were regularly arranged,the intercellular spaces were reduced,and the normal cells were increased.PC and PE were significantly increased,DAG and FFA were significantly decreased(P＜0.01)in the BHD-M,BHD-H and NBP groups.PC was increased,FFA and DAG were decreased in the BHD-L group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The mRNA level of PPARγ was increased in the BHD-L group(P＜0.05),and the mRNA and protein levels of cAMP,PKA,and PPARγ were increased in the other treatment groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Buyang Huanwu Decoction has a neuroprotective effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury rats,and its mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of key factors in the cAMP/PKA/PPARγ signaling pathway and lipid metabolism.

Objective To explore the effects of Buyang Huanwu Decoction on neuronal cell apoptosis after cerebral ischemia based on mediating Cav1 in regulating Wnt pathway.Methods Male wild-type(WT)and Cav1-/-(KO)C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham-operation group,model group and Buyang Huanwu Decoction group(18.5 g/kg).Cerebral ischemia model was prepared using middle cerebral artery occlusion method,and drug intervention was given for 14 days.Neurobehavioral score was performed,HE staining was used to observe the morphology of ischemic cortical area of brain tissue,TUNEL staining was used to detect neuronal apoptosis in ischemic cortical area,immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of apoptosis related proteins and Wnt1,glycogen synthase kinase 3β(GSK3β)and β-catenin protein in ischemic cortical area.Results Compared with the same genotype sham-operation group,the neurobehavioral score of the model group mice significantly increased,neuronal cells in the ischemic cortical area showed vacuolar changes,with nuclear condensation and widened intercellular spaces,the apoptosis rate of nerve cells significantly increased,with increased expressions of Bax,GSK3β and decreased expressions of Bcl-2,Wnt1 and β-catenin(P<0.01).Compared with the same genotype model group,the neurobehavioral score of mice in Buyang Huanwu Decoction group were significantly decreased,the pathological damage of the ischemic cortical area improved,the apoptosis rate of nerve cells decreased,the expressions of Bax and GSK3β decreased,and the expressions of Bcl-2,Wnt1 and β-catenin increased(P<0.01).Compared with the WT model group,the KO model group showed an increase in neurobehavioral score,aggravated damage in ischemic cortical area,significantly increased neuronal apoptosis rate,and increased expression of GSK3β(P<0.05).Compared with the WT Buyang Huanwu Decoction group,the KO Buyang Huanwu Decoction group showed an increase in neurobehavioral score,aggravated damage in ischemic cortical area,significantly increased neuronal apoptosis rate,increased expressions of Bax and GSK3β,and decreased expressions of Bcl-2,Wnt1 and β-catenin(P<0.01).Conclusion Buyang Huanwu Decoction can inhibit neuronal cell apoptosis after cerebral ischemia,and its mechanism may be related to regulating the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins by mediating Cav1 to regulate the Wnt signaling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of extracorporeal shock wave on the phosphoproteomics of the spinal cord in rats with diabetic neuralgia.Methods:Thirty-six healthy male SPF-grade Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2 months, weighing 200-250 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) using the random number table method: control group (group C), diabetic neuralgia group (group D), and extracorporeal shock wave + diabetic neuralgia group (group E). The rats were continuously fed a common diet in group C, while the rats were fed a high-sugar and high-fat diet for 8 weeks in D and E groups. Streptozotocin 35 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected, and the successful induction of diabetic neuralgia was defined as the blood glucose >14.6 mmol/L and the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) ≤85% of baseline values. Group E received extracorporeal shock wave treatment after developing the model, with 1, 000 shocks per session at a frequency of 10 Hz and an energy of 1.0 bar, once per week for a total of 4 sessions. The MWT and TWL were measured before developing the model (T 0) and at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after developing the model (T 1-T 4). After the last extracorporeal shock wave treatment, the rats were anesthetized and sacrificed, and lumbar spinal cord tissues were obtained for proteomic analysis and for detection of the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (by immunohistochemistry). Results:Compared with group C, the MWT and TWL were significantly decreased at T 1-T 4 in D and E groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group D, the MWT and TWL were significantly increased at T 1-T 4 in group E ( P<0.05). The results of phosphoproteomics screening revealed 284 differentially phosphorylated proteins in D and C groups, 282 in E and C groups, and 303 in E and D groups ( P<0.05). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of GFAP, IL-1β and TNF-α was significantly up-regulated in group D compared with group C ( P<0.05); the expression of GFAP, IL-1β and TNF-α was significantly down-regulated in group E compared with group D ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which extracorporeal shock wave alleviates diabetic neuralgia is related to inhibition of astrocyte activation and excessive phosphorylation of mGluR5 in rats.

Objective:To evaluate the value of endoclip-assisted and submucosal injection-assisted cannulation techniques for difficult cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods:Data of 12 458 patients treated with ERCP for the first time in the First Affilated Hospital of Naval Medical University from June 2015 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty eight (0.22%) were identified as difficult cannulation where metal clip- or submucosal injection-assisted cannulation was used. The selective cannulation success rate, intubation time and complication incidence of the two techniques in difficult cannulation patients were analyzed.Results:Difficult cannulation was performed in 18 males (64.3%) and 10 females (35.7%) with an age of 69.6±14.1 years assisted by metal clips or submucosal injection. Five cases (17.9%) were type Ⅱ, 5 cases (17.9%) type Ⅲ, and 18 cases (64.3%) type Ⅴ according to papilla classification. Sixteen patients (57.1%) received metal clip-assisted cannulation, and 12 cases (42.9%) submucosal injection-assisted cannulation. Twenty-five (89.3%) patients successfully underwent selective cannulation with the cannulation time of 9.9±4.3 min. One case (3.6%) of mild post-ERCP pancreatitis and 3 cases (10.7%) of post-ERCP hyperamylasemia occurred. No postoperative bleeding or perforation occurred. All patients were cured and discharged after conservative treatment.Conclusion:When selective cannulation is difficult due to poor papilla exposure or deflection, endoclip- or submucosal injection-assisted cannulation can effectively improve the successful selective cannulation rate during ERCP with low complication incidence, which is worth of clinical promotion.

Objective:To explore the correlation between cervical curve and ossification of ligaments in cranio-cervical junction and cervical spine in patients with cervical degenerative diseases.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted among 458 patients with cervical degenerative disease who underwent cervical spine X-ray and CT examinations at the Orthopedics Department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 2016 and July 2020. There were 265 males and 193 females, with an average age of 57.02±10.41 years (range, 22-87 years). Patients were divided into 5 types (lordosis, straight, S-type degenerative kyphosis, R-type degenerative kyphosis and C-type degenerative kyphosis). Cervical lordosis was defined as C 2-C 7 curve <-4°, cervical kyphosis was defined as >4°, cervical straight was defined as -4° to 4°. C 2-C 7 curve, C 0-C 2 curve were measured respectively, and correlations among these imaging parameters were analyzed. CT images were used to assess the presence of ossification of ligaments in cranio-cervical and cervical spine, including ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, nuchal ligament, ligamentum flavum, transverse ligament, apical ligament, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), as well as capped dens sign (CDS), and correlations between these cervical curve and presence of ossification of ligaments were analyzed. The different grades were based on the length of the ossification of interest with respect to the distance from the posterosuperior rim of the anterior arch of the atlas to the inferior margin of the foramen magnum on mid-sagittal cervical spine CT images, Grade 3 CDS was determined when the length was more than two-thirds. Results:There were 245 patients with cervical lordosis, 114 patients with straight, 53 patients with S-type degenerative cervical kyphosis, 36 patients with R-type degenerative cervical kyphosis and 10 patients with C-type degenerative cervical kyphosis. C 0-C 2 curve showed a negative correlation with C 2-C 7 curve in all enrolled patients ( r=-0.45, P<0.001) and R-type degenerative kyphosis group ( r=-0.58, P<0.001); C 0-C 2 curve showed no correlation with C 2-C 7 curve in lordosis ( r=-0.10, P=0.124), straight ( r=-0.11, P=0.233), S-type degenerative kyphosis ( r=-0.01, P=0.943) or C-type degenerative kyphosis groups ( r=0.03, P=0.946). CDS was detected in 38.4% (176/458) of patients, and Grade 3 was detected in 17.9% (82/458) of patients. The prevalence of CDS was correlated with R-type degenerative cervical kyphosis ( r=0.10, P=0.030). Cervical kyphosis, S-type degenerative kyphosis, C-type degenerative kyphosis, C 2-C 7 curve and C 0-C 2 curve showed no correlation with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, nuchal ligament, ligamentum flavum, transverse ligament, apical ligament, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) or different grades CDS ( P>0.05). Conclusion:R-type degenerative cervical kyphosis are more likely to correlate with the cranio-cervical curve and CDS, which is an ossification of ligament in cranio-cervical junction.

Objective:To investigate the mRNA expression of adenosine triphosphate binding cassette subfamily C member 8 (ABCC8) in gliomas and its application value as an index for predicting the prognosis of gliomas.Methods:The data of sex, age, histopathological type, WHO grade, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation, 1p/19q deletion, survival time and ABCC8 mRNA expression of 304 patients with gliomas (study group) in the Chinese glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) database were collected. The prognostic factors of patients with gliomas were determined by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. This result was verified by the data of 506 glioma patients in TCGA database and 271 glioma patients in REMBRANDT database.Results:The expression of ABCC8 mRNA in 304 cases of gliomas in the study group was 15.93±1.23. ABCC8 mRNA expression was correlated with age, histopathological type, WHO grade, IDH mutation status, 1p/19q deletion status and WHO molecular grade ( P<0.01). The median survival time of patients in ABCC8 mRNA high expression group was 85.60 months, which was significantly longer than 14.07 months in low expression group ( P<0.001). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, histopathological type, WHO grade, IDH mutation status, 1p/19q deletion status, postoperative radiotherapy, postoperative chemotherapy and ABCC8 mRNA expression were related to the overall survival time of patients ( P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that WHO grade ( HR=3.117, 95% CI: 1.970-4.930), 1p/19q deletion status ( HR=0.285, 95% CI: 0.155-0.526), postoperative chemotherapy ( HR=0.680, 95% CI: 0.488-0.948) and ABCC8 mRNA expression ( HR=0.690, 95% CI: 0.491-0.971) were independent factors for the overall survival of patients. In the TCGA dataset, the median survival time of patients with high ABCC8 mRNA expression group was 133.70 months, which was longer than 19.60 months of patients with low ABCC8 mRNA expression group ( P<0.001). In Rembrandt dataset, the median survival time of patients with high ABCC8 mRNA expression group was 37.93 months, which was longer than 15.83 months of patients with low expression group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The expression level of ABCC8 mRNA in glioma is related to the degree of malignancy. The higher degree of malignancy, the lower the expression. The expression level of ABCC8 mRNA is an independent factor for the overall survival of patients with gliomas. The overall survival of patients with high ABCC8 mRNA expression is longer than that of patients with low ABCC8 mRNA expression.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of a two-staged repair and reconstruction of composite soft tissue defect of dorsal wrist with transfer of free flap (in stage-one) repair and followed by transplantation of allogeneic tendon (in stage-two) reconstruction.Methods:From December 2018 to January 2021, 6 cases with dorsal wrist composite tissue injury and extensor tendon defect were treated in the Department of Hand and Microsurgery of the Fourth People's Hospital of Guiyang City. Four cases were treated with free anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) combined with allogeneic tendon in the first stage to reconstruct finger dorsiflexion function, and 2 cases were treated with free ilioinguinal flap combined with allogeneic tendon in the second stage to reconstruct finger dorsiflexion function. The age of the patients ranged from 22 to 62 years old. The areas of defect were 5.0 cm×12.0 cm-8.0 cm×20.0 cm. Two cases had 2 extensor tendons defect, 1 had 3 extensor tendons defect, 2 had 4 extensor tendons defect, and 1 had 5 extensor tendons defect. The length of extensor tendon defects was 7.0-22.0 cm. In 5 cases, the wounds were covered by VSD for 5 to 7 days after complete emergenly debridement. Then, after the wounds had been cleared and clean, the wounds of 3 cases were covered with free ALTF, 2 with free ilioinguinal flap, and 1 with free ALTF after skin graft scar resection. At 3-4 months later, the extension function of digit was reconstructed with the transplantation of allogeneic tendons. Postoperative appearance of the flaps and functions of digits were observed at the outpatient clinics during the follow-up.Results:The postoperative follow-up lasted for 10 to 26 (15 in average) months. All 6 flaps surrived completely, and 1 case was further treated with flap thinning at 4 months after the second surgery. During the follow-up, all flaps healed well and were good in appearance and texture. Meanwhile, the donor areas were all healed well with no dysfunction nor sensory disorder. All the transplanted tendons were in good glide without adhesion. The active motion of metacarpophalangeal joints ranged from (10±10) ° to (80±10) °. According to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, at the final follow-up, 4 cases were excellent and 2 cases were good.Conclusion:It is safe and effective that using the two-staged procedure in repair of composite tissue defect of dorsal wrist with stage-one ALTF or ilioinguinal flap transfer combined with stage-two reconstruction with transplantation of allogeneic tendon. It can minimize the adhesion after tendon transplantation and donor site damage
