Objective: To analyze the association between each regional fat mass and total body bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents aged 7-17 years in Beijing, so as to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for implementing interventions. Methods: From September to December 2020, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 423 children and adolescents aged 7-17 years in Tongzhou District, Beijing. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was employed to measure regional body composition and total body BMD. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the association between regional fat mass and total body BMD. Results: The median (interquartile range) fat mass values for total body, upper limbs, abdomen, hips, and thighs were 13.51(8.84, 19.21), 1.59(1.08, 2.23), 0.73(0.39, 1.29), 2.32(1.46, 3.26), 5.29(3.59, 7.21)kg, respectively. After adjusting for covariates, the results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that total body fat mass (β=0.010), abdominal fat mass (β=-0.100), and hip fat mass (β=0.104) were significant associations with total body BMD (all P<0.01). Sexstratified analysis revealed that in boys, total body fat mass (β=0.008) and hip fat mass (β=0.058) were positively associated with BMD, while thigh fat mass (β=-0.038) showed a negative association with total body BMD (all P<0.05). In girls, total body fat mass (β=0.013), hip fat mass (β=0.163), and thigh fat mass (β=0.023) were positively associated with total body BMD, whereas abdominal fat mass (β=-0.196) showed a negative association with total body BMD (all P<0.05). Among children and adolescents with body fat percentage below the standard range, within the standard range and above the standard range, total body fat masses were positively associated with total body BMD (β=0.021, 0.016, 0.015); among children and adolescents with body fat percentage within the standard range while upper limb (β=-0.042), abdominal (β=-0.067), and thigh fat mass (β=-0.018) showed negative associations with total body BMD, and hip fat mass demonstrated a positive association with total body BMD (β=0.082) (all P<0.05). Conclusion Regional fat distribution is associated with total body BMD in children and adolescents, with the nature of these associations varying by sex and body fat percentage.

Objective:To explore the effects of phased goal directed fluid therapy (GDFT) during anesthesia surgery on tissue perfusion and cognitive function in patients undergoing radical lung cancer surgery.Methods:A total of 108 lung cancer patients were prospectively selected and randomly divided into a control group and a study group using a random number table method. The control group received classical restrictive liquid therapy, while the study group received staged GDFT. We compared the surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, colloid fluid dosage, crystalloid fluid dosage, total output, and urine volume between two groups of patients; Two groups of patients were compared in terms of oxygenation index (OI), respiratory index (RI), central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2), lactate (Lac), central venous arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (Pcv-aCO 2), oxygen supply index (DO 2I), and oxygen uptake rate (O 2ERe) before anesthesia induction (T 0), before single lung ventilation (T 1), 1 hour of single lung ventilation (T 2), immediate resumption of dual lung ventilation (T 3), 30 minutes of dual lung ventilation (T 4), and after surgery (T 5); The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to evaluate the cognitive function scores of two groups of patients 1 day before surgery and 1 and 3 days after surgery, while recording the incidence of cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and pulmonary complications (including pulmonary infection, acute lung injury, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary edema, atelectasis, etc.) within 3 days after surgery. Results:The amount of crystal fluid and urine output in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group, while the amount of colloidal fluid was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The OI of the study group T 1-T 5 was significantly higher than that of the control group, while the RI of T 2-T 5 was significantly lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05). The ScvO 2 of the study group T 1 to T 5 was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the Lac was significantly lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05); The MMSE scores of both groups of patients were significantly lower than those before surgery on day 1 and 3 after surgery, and the MMSE scores of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group on day 1 and 3 after surgery (all P<0.05). The incidence of POCD within 3 days after surgery in the study group was 16.67%(9/54), lower than 37.04%(20/54) in the control group (χ 2=5.704, P=0.017); The incidence of pulmonary complications in the study group was lower than that in the control group (5.56% vs 22.22%, χ 2=4.955, P=0.026). Conclusions:The application of staged GDFT during anesthesia in patients undergoing radical lung cancer surgery can further improve tissue perfusion, improve microcirculation and oxygen supply-demand balance of systemic organs and tissues, including the brain, alleviate perioperative brain function damage, and reduce the occurrence of postoperative POCD compared to conventional liquid therapy.

Objective To investigate the values of systemic inflammatory response index(SIRI),systemic immunoinflammatory index(SII),neutrophil count/lymphocyte count(NLR),platelet count/lymphocyte count(PLR)and lymphocyte count/monocyte count(LMR)in prediction of the severity of acute pancreatitis(AP)at early stage.Methods The clinical data on 666 AP patients admitted to the department of hepatobiliary surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology,from January 2020 to November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into a mild group(MAP group,mild acute pancreatitis)and a non-mild group(non-MAP group,including moderate to severe acute pancreatitis).Blood routine and biochemical indicators were collected at admission and 24 hours after admission.The differences in SIRI,SII,NLR,PLR and LMR between the two groups were compared,so were the values of these five indexes in prediction of non-MAP.Results Of the 666 AP patients,507 were in the MAP group and 159 in the non-MAP group.In the non-MAP group,C-reactive protein(CRP),SIRI,SII,and NLR were higher than those in the MAP group 24 hours after admission,while LMR was lower than that in the MAP group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).CRP(HR=1.008,95%CI:1.004～1.012,P<0.05)and SIRI(HR=1.216,95%CI:1.029～1.436,P<0.05)were identified as the risk factors for the severity of AP.The ROC curve showed that the AUC and sensitivity of SIRI for predicting non-MAP 24 hours after admission were 0.718 and 75.00%,respectively,higher than those of SII,CRP,NLR,and LMR.Both SIRI and CRP had AUC values greater than 0.7,and the combined AUC was 0.788(0.738～0.837),the sensitivity was 86.00%and the specificity was 81.44%.Conclusions SIRI can be used as a predictor of disease severity in early AP patients,and combined with CRP can improve the predictive value.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of heart failure in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD),and to construct and verify a nomogram prediction model for the risk of heart failure in patients with CHD.Methods The clinical data of 453 patients with CHD who were hospitalized in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shenyang Medical College from January to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,including 278 patients with CHD combined with heart failure and 175 patients without heart failure.The patients were divided into training group(318 cases)and validation group(135 cases)according to the ratio of 7:3.R software was applied to perform LASSO regression to screen the risk factors,and Logistic regression to establish a prediction model and construct a nomogram.The calibration curve and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve were used to evaluate the calibration and discrimination of the model.Results LASSO regression analysis ultimately screened five risk factors from 22 variables,and Logistic regression results showed that age,smoking,history of myocardial infarction,New York Heart Association(NYHA)cardiac function class Ⅳ,and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)were all independent risk factors for heart failure in CHD patients(P＜0.05).The model formula was Z=-2.927+0.045 × age+0.886 × smoking+0.808 × history of myocardial infarction-2.829 × NYHA cardiac function class Ⅳ+0.037×LVFF.Internal validation of the model showed that area under the curve was 0.727(95％CI:0.588-0.752),the sensitivity was 40.4％,the specificity was 84.3％,and the Youden index was 0.247.According to the calibration curve,the predicted value of the calibration curve was highly consistent with the actual value,and the Brier score was 0.106.Conclusion The risk prediction model for heart failure in patients with CHD based on LASSO regression has good discrimination and prediction efficiency,which can be used as an evaluation tool for medical staff to predict the risk of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of esketamine combined with fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block in optimizing anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.Methods:Sixty-two American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ elderly patients of either sex, aged 60-85 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-30.0 kg/m 2, were divided into 2 groups ( n=31 each) using a random number table method: fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block group (FS group) and esketamine combined with fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block group (ES group). In FS group, patients underwent ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block at 30 min before the operation of subarachnoid anesthesia on the surgical side. In ES group, esketamine 0.25 mg/kg was intravenously administered at 5 min before skin incision based on the fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was used for postoperative analgesia, and tramadol 1 mg/kg was intravenously given for rescue analgesia when numerical rating scale score > 4. The pressing times of patient-controlled analgesic pump, the number of rescue analgesia and consumption of tramadol were recorded within 48 h after operation. The occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions (respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, pruritus, illusion, nightmares) was recorded. Results:Compared with FS group, the consumption of postoperative tramadol was significantly decreased, and the pressing times of patient-controlled analgesic pump and the number of rescue analgesia were reduced in ES group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Combination of esketamine with fascia iliaca compartment-subarachnoid block for hip fracture surgery can raise postoperative analgesia and optimize clinical management strategies in elderly patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban combined with antiplatelet in ischemic stroke patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and moderate or severe intracranial artery stenosis.Methods:The consecutive ischemic stroke patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and moderate or severe intracranial artery stenosis admitted to Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital of Qingdao University from August 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively included. According to the secondary prevention drugs, the patients were divided into rivaroxaban and rivaroxaban combined with antiplatelet treatment group. The basic characteristics of the two groups were compared. The primary outcome was the recurrence rate of stroke at 3 months, and the secondary outcome included the incidence of any bleeding event at 3 months, the all-cause mortality rate, the improvement rate of neurological function, and the good outcome rate. The good outcome was defined as the modified Rankin Scale ≤2 points at 3 months.Results:A total of 108 patients aged 70.72±8.08 years old were included in the study. There were 56 patients (51.9%) in the rivaroxaban group and 52 (48.1%) in the combined treatment group. In terms of primary outcome, the recurrence rate of stroke in the combined treatment group was significantly lower than that in the rivaroxaban group at 3 months (7.69% vs. 21.43%; P<0.05). In terms of secondary outcomes, the incidence of bleeding events in the combined treatment group at 3 months was significantly higher than that in the rivaroxaban group (26.92% vs. 7.14%; P<0.05), with one death event in each group. The rate of good outcome in the combined treatment group was significantly higher than that in the rivaroxaban group (75.00% vs. 51.79%; P=0.013). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission was an independent risk factor for poor outcome (odds ratio 1.370, 95% confidence interval 1.057-1.776; P=0.018), while the rivaroxaban combined antiplatelet treatment was an independent protective factor for stroke recurrence (odds ratio 0.203, 95% confidence interval 0.054-0.758; P=0.018). Conclusion:After ischemic stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation complicated with moderate and severe stenosis of intracranial artery, rivaroxaban combined with antiplatelet treatment can reduce the recurrence rate of stroke and improve the clinical outcome, but it may increase the risk of bleeding.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided single fascia iliaca compartmentblock (FICB) combined with esketamine on postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.Methods:Sixty-two patients of either sex, aged 60-85 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, undergoing hip fracture surgery under subarachnoid anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=31 each) using a random number table method: single FICB group (group FICB) and single FICB combined with esketamine group (group FICB+ E). Ultrasound-guided FICB was performed on the operated side at 30 min before subarachnoid anesthesia. In FICB+ E group, esketamine was intravenously injected as a bolus of 0.3 mg/kg at 5 min before skin incision followed by an infusion of 0.25 mg·kg -1·h -1 until 30 min before the end of procedure. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was used for postoperative analgesia, and tramadol 1 mg/kg was given for rescue analgesia. The pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia, the number of rescue analgesia, and consumption of tramadol were recorded within 48 h after operation. The Ramsay sedation score was used to assess the degree of sedation at skin incision, 30 min after the start of surgery, 30 min before the end of surgery, at the end of surgery, and at discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit. Postoperative delirium (POD) occurred within 7 days after surgery was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method. The serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, S100β and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on admission to the operating room and at 3 and 7 days after surgery. The occurrence of adverse drug reactions (respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, somnolence, urinary retention) was recorded. Results:Compared with group FICB, the incidence of POD was significantly decreased within 3 days after surgery, the consumption of tramadol, pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and the number of rescue analgesia were reduced, Ramsay sedation score was increased at each time point, and the serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, S100β and glial fibrillary acidic protein were decreased after surgery ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the total incidence of POD at 7 days after surgery in group FICB+ B ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided single FICB combined with esketamine can provide adequate analgesia and sedation in the perioperative period for elderly patients with hip fractures, reducing the risk of early postoperative (within 3 days) POD.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block(SLNB) combined with intravenous anesthesia for improving pediatric fiberoptic bronchoscopy.Methods:Forty pediatric patients of either sex, aged 3-6 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠor Ⅱ, with body mass index of 18-24 kg/m 2, undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy in Cangzhou Central Hospital in 2022, were divided into 2 groups ( n=20 each) by a random number table method: ultrasound-guided SLNB plus intravenous anesthesia group (group A) and topical anesthesia plus intravenous anesthesia group (group B). After sedation with dexmedetomidine and esketamine, ultrasound-guided bilateral SLNB was performed with 1% lidocaine 0.5 ml (for each side)in group A, and topical anesthesia was performed with 1% lidocaine in nasal and pharyngeal cavities in group B. After completion of the surgery procedure, propofol was continuously infused at 5 mg·kg -1·h -1 until completion of diagnosis and treatment. An increment of propofol 1 mg/kg was intravenously given if severe bucking or body movement occurred during operation. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and SpO 2 were recorded on admission to the operating room (T 0), immediately after sedation (T 1), immediately after bronchoscopy entering the glottis (T 2), 5 min after start of treatment (T 3) and at the end of examination (T 4). The occurrence of intraoperative hypoxemia, HR <60 bpm, and MAP <50 mmHg were recorded, and the additional dose of propofol was recorded. The venous blood samples were collected at T 0 and T 4 to determine plasma cortisol concentrations by chemiluminescence.The surgeon′s satisfaction score was recorded. The complications of SLNB were also recorded within 2 h after operation in group A. Results:Compared with group B, HR was significantly decreased at T 2 and T 3, SpO 2 was increased, the intraoperative additional dosage of propofol and incidence of hypoxemia were decreased, and the surgeon′s satisfaction score was increased, and the concentrations of cortisol were decreased at T 4 in group A ( P<0.05). No HR<60 bpm and MAP<50 mmHg were found in two groups. No SLNB-related complications were observed after operation in group A. Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided SLNB combined with intravenous anesthesia is safer for pediatric fiberoptic bronchoscopy and can improve the analgesic effect and is more helpful in inhibiting intraoperative stress responses when compared with conventional anesthesia.

Objective:To explore the effect of inpatient palliative care in patients with end-stage heart failure.Methods:From July 2019 to January 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 97 patients with end-stage heart failure admitted to the Cardiovascular Department of Henan Provincial Chest Hospital as the research subject. The patients were divided into the control group ( n=48) and the observation group ( n=49) with the random number table. The control group conducted routine nursing, and the observation group carried out inpatient palliative care on this basis. The 21-Item Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) , General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES) and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) were used to compare the adverse psychological state, self-efficacy and quality of life of the two groups of patients. Results:Before intervention, there were no significant differences in DASS-21, MLHFQ and GSES scores between the two groups ( P>0.05) . After intervention, the DASS-21 and MLHFQ scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the GSES score was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Inpatient palliative care can effectively relieve the adverse psychological state of patients with end-stage heart failure and improve their self-efficacy and quality of life.
