OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein （EC）， and to provide evidence for selecting skin detection methods for tuberculosis infection diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis. METHODS The effectiveness and safety of EC compared with purified protein derivative of tuberculin （TB-PPD） were analyzed by the method of systematic review. Cost minimization analysis， cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis were used to evaluate the short-term economy of EC compared with TB-PPD， and cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the long-term economy. The evaluation dimensions of innovation， suitability and accessibility were determined by systematic review and improved Delphi expert consultation， and the comprehensive score of EC and TB-PPD in each dimension were calculated by the weight of each indicator. RESULTS The scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation and suitability of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. The affordability scores of the two drugs were consistent， while the availability score of EC was lower than those of TB-PPD. After considering dimensions and index weight， the scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability， accessibility and the comprehensive score of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with TB-PPD， EC performs better in all dimensions of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility. However， it is worth noting that EC should further improve its availability in the dimension of accessibility.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of lysophosphatidic acid （LPA） in patients with liver cancer， as well as its influence on malignant biological behavior of liver cancer and related regulatory mechanism. MethodsFrom January 2016 to December 2022， 26 patients with liver cancer， 28 patients with liver cirrhosis， and 28 individuals undergoing physical examination were enrolled. ELISIA was used to measure the content of LPA in plasma and peritoneal effusion of the patients with liver cancer or liver cirrhosis accompanied by peritoneal effusion， and the content of LPA was measured in plasma of the normal population at the same time， so as to clarify the difference in the expression of LPA in different populations， such as the patients with liver cancer and those with liver cirrhosis. MTT cell proliferation assay and cell migration assay were used to observe the influence of LPA and its inhibitor pertussis toxin （PTX） on the proliferation， migration， and invasion of SMMC7721 cells. In order to investigate the effect of LPA on the expression of RhoA and its upstream and downstream molecules FAK and P53 after binding to its receptor， qPCR and Western blot were used to observe the effect of LPA on the mRNA and protein expression levels of P53， FAK， and RhoA in SMMC7721 cells. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of the means of continuous data between multiple groups， and the SNK-q test was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the patients with liver cirrhosis， the patients with liver cancer had a significantly higher concentration of LPA in plasma （4.99±0.55 μmol/L vs 2.63±0.43 μmol/L， P<0.05） and peritoneal effusion （5.19±0.63 μmol/L vs 2.91±0.46 μmol/L， P<0.05）， and the patients with liver cancer also had a significantly higher level of plasma LPA than the normal population （4.99±0.55 μmol/L vs 1.61±0.39 μmol/L， P<0.05）. The cell proliferation assay showed that LPA significantly promoted the proliferation of SMMC7721 cells， and cell proliferation rate increased with the increase in dose and time； in particular， the middle-and high-dose groups had a significantly higher proliferation rate than the control group （P<0.05）. PTX inhibited the proliferative capacity of SMMC7721 cells in a time-dependent manner， and there was a significant difference between the groups （P<0.05）. The proliferation rate of the 72-hour high-dose LPA group was 3.6 times that of the control group， while the proliferation rate of the PTX group was 0.6 times that of the control group； the proliferation rate of the 72-hour high-dose LPA+PTX group was 1.2 times that of the control group. In addition， LPA increased the migration ability of hepatoma cells， while PTX inhibited their migration， in a time-dependent manner， and there was a significant difference between the groups （P<0.05）. The migration rate of the 72-hour high-dose LPA group was 3.09 times that of the control group， while the migration rate of the PTX group was 0.4 times that of the control group； the migration rate of the 72-hour high-dose LPA+PTX group was 0.99 times that of the control group. qPCR and Western blot showed that there were significant reductions in the mRNA and protein expression levels of P53 in SMMC7721 cells after LPA treatment， while there were significant increases in the mRNA and protein expression levels of FAK and RhoA； there was a significant difference between the LPA group and the control group （P<0.05）. ConclusionThere is an abnormal increase in the expression of LPA in patients with liver cancer， and LPA can promote the proliferation of liver cancer cells and increase their migration ability. At the same time， LPA changes the expression levels of P53， FAK， and RhoA， which may be associated with the promotion of tumor development and progression by LPA.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided lumbar quadratus muscle plane block combined with general anesthesia on the analgesic effect during and after laparoscopic colon cancer radical surgery in elderly patients.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 61 elderly patients who underwent radical colon cancer surgery at the Changsha Central Hospital Affiliated to South China University from May 2022 to February 2023, with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) grades Ⅱ to Ⅲ. They were randomly divided into SA and GA groups using a random number table method, with 31 patients in the SA group and 30 patients in the GA group. The SA group received ultrasound-guided plane block of the upper lumbar quadratus muscle in the arcuate ligament combined with general anesthesia, while the GA group received simple general anesthesia. Record the mean artery pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of two groups of patients at the time of entering the operating room (T 0), 5 minutes before skin incision (T 1), at skin incision (T 2), 30 minutes after surgery (T 3), at surgery end (T 4), and during anesthesia resuscitation and extubation (T 5); The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of two groups of patients at T 5, upon returning to the ward (T 6), 6 hours (T 7), 12 hours (T 8), 24 hours (T 9), and 48 hours (T 10) after surgery were recorded; The dosage of sufentanil, remifentanil, and propofol used during surgery, anesthesia recovery time, total number of analgesic pump presses within 48 hours after surgery, Lovett muscle strength score, early postoperative recovery, and adverse reactions within 48 hours after surgery were also recorded. Resultsl:The MAP and HR of the SA group were lower than those of the GA group at T 1-5 (all P<0.05); The VAS score of the SA group was lower than that of the GA group at T 5-10 (all P<0.05); The intraoperative dosage of propofol, remifentanil, and sufentanil in the SA group was lower than that in the GA group (all P<0.05); The anesthesia recovery time and first time out of bed in the SA group were earlier than those in the GA group (all P<0.05); The total number of times the analgesic pump was pressed within 48 hours after surgery was less than that of the GA group ( P<0.05); The incidence of nausea and vomiting within 48 hours after surgery in the SA group was lower than that in the GA group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative Lovett muscle strength score, hospital stay, and dizziness incidence between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided lumbar quadratus muscle plane block on the arcuate ligament can significantly reduce the dosage of intraoperative general anesthesia drugs and postoperative analgesics in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colon cancer surgery, reduce postoperative pain scores, effectively alleviate postoperative pain, and thus advance the patient′s first time out of bed activity, reduce postoperative complications, and promote rapid recovery.

Objective:To investigate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block combined with laryngeal mask general anesthesia and internal fixation of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) under ERAS concept in elderly patients.Methods:A total of 50 elderly patients with femoral trochanteric fractures treated with PFNA internal fixation who were admitted to Changsha Central Hospital from January 2021 to March 2022 were selected and according to the random number table method, they were divided into groups P and F, with 26 cases in group P (ultrasound-guided PENG block combined with laryngeal mask general anesthesia group) and 24 cases in group F [ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB)] combined with laryngeal mask general anesthesia group]. The bispectral index (BIS) of the two groups of patients was maintained within the range of 40-60, and the dosage of cyclopofol and remifentanil was adjusted according to the BIS and hemodynamic changes. Postoperative oxycodone was used for patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA). When the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score ≥4, 1 mg intravenous oxycodone was administered as rescue analgesia. The VAS score was observed and recorded before nerve block (T 0), 10 minutes after nerve block (T 1), 20 minutes after nerve block (T 2), when the patients were placed in body position after bed (T 3), after laryngeal mask removal (T 4), 12 h after operation (T 5), 24 h after operation (T 6) and 48 h after operation (T 7). The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2) at each time point from T 0 to T 4 were observed and recorded; the intraoperative dose of remifentanil, the rescue dose of oxycodone at postoperative T 6 and T 7, Lovett muscle strength score, anesthesia operation time, anesthesia recovery time and postoperative anesthesia-related complications were recorded. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in VAS scores at T 0, T 4, T 5 and T 6, MAP, HR and SpO 2 at T 0, T 1, T 2 and T 4, the dosage of remifentanil during operation, the remedial dosage of oxycodone at T 6 after operation, anesthesia operation time and anesthesia recovery time (all P>0.05). Compared with group F, the VAS scores of group P at T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 7 were lower than those of group F (all P<0.05); At T 3, there was no significant difference in SpO 2 between the two groups ( P>0.05), but the MAP and HR in group P was lower than that in group F (all P<0.05); The remedial dose of oxycodone at T 7 in group P was lower than that in group F ( P<0.05), and the analgesic effect was longer; Lovett muscle strength score at T 6 and T 7 in group P was better than that in group F (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with FICB, ultrasound-guided PENG block used in PFNA internal fixation in elderly patients has faster effect, lower dosage of opioid analgesics, longer duration of analgesia, and less impact on postoperative lower limb muscle strength.

Closed-loop hospital management can effectivly cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to ensure the continuity of treatments for hemodialysis patients under closed-loop management and minimize possible medical and infection risks, Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University and 9 hospitals in Shanghai established a hemodialysis alliance in January 2021.The alliance optimized hemodialysis resources within the region through overall planning by preparing sites, materials and personnel shifts in advance, and establishing management systems and work processes to ensure that patients could be quickly and orderly diverted to other blood dialysis centers for uninterrupted high-quality hemodialysis services, in case that some hemodialysis centers in the alliance under closed-loop management.From November 2021 to April 2022, 317 of 1 459 hemodialysis patients in the alliance were diverted to other centers for treatment, accumulating 1 215 times/cases of treatments without obvious adverse reactions. The practice could provide a reference for medical institutions to quickly establish mutual support mode under major public health events.
