Objective:To identify the effective concentrations of Ropivacaine in the modified fascial iliac compartment block(FICB)that would not affect the movement of the affected limb but would offer effective pain relief after total knee arthroplasty(TKA)in elderly patients.In addition, adverse reactions within 24 hours of FICB were examined.Methods:This study was a prospective, single-arm sequential trial.Forty-five elderly patients treated with TKA at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between September 2021 and March 2022 were selected, with an American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)score of Ⅰ or Ⅱ.All patients were given ultrasound-guided FICB on the surgical side under general anesthesia and 10 minutes before the operation, and the injection volume was 30 ml.According to preliminary experiments and relevant literature, the initial concentration of Ropivacaine was 0.1%, and the concentration for the next patient was determined using a modified Dixon sequential method.If the quadriceps femoris muscle strength score of the first patient was ≥4, there was no resting pain[visual analogue scale(VAS)score ≤1], and the VAS score during activity was ≤3, the concentration for the next patient would be reduced.Conversely, the concentration would be increased.The Ropivacaine concentration was increased or decreased by 0.01% each time and the trial would be stopped after 12 reentries.The median effective concentration(ED50), 95% effective concentration(ED95)and corresponding 95% confidence interval(CI)of ropivacaine were calculated using the probit model.Meanwhile, adverse reactions within 24 hours of FICB were monitored.Results:Of 43 elderly patients who completed the trial, the intervention was effective in 23 and ineffective in 20.While ensuring that postoperative limb movement in elderly patients was not affected, a single injection of 30 ml ropivacaine through FICB was able to effectively inhibit postoperative pain, and the ED50 and ED95 of ropivacaine were 0.072%(95% CI: 0.065%-0.078%)and 0.093%(95% CI: 0.084%-0.124%), respectively.Within 24 hours of FICB, 2 patients had lower limb weakness and could not get out of bed and walk, and 5 patients had severe pain and needed additional analgesics.No other adverse reactions were found. Conclusions:The effective ED50 and ED95 of Ropivacaine for postoperative pain relief in elderly patients after TKA are 0.072% and 0.093%, respectively.And the incidence of adverse reactions is low.

Objective To characterize the distribution and assess the exposure to phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in the indoor dust of Shanghai City. Methods Samples were collected from 33 sampling sites, including homes, hotels, offices and public places, in Shanghai in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The samples were pretreated by 100 sieves, extracted and concentrated, and then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in selected ion mode (SIM). Results Results on the characteristics of PAEs in indoor dust in different places showed that concentrations of PAEs were in a range of <0.01-2 464 mg·kg-1.The average concentration of 16 PAEs was 613 mg·kg-1. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-iso-butyl phthalate (DiBP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP) were the main components of PAEs in indoor dust, accounting for approximately 99.5% of 16 PAEs. The intake of DEHP, DBP, DEP and BBP was lower than the tolerable daily intake (TDI) and reference doses (RfD) set by EU CSTEE and U.S. EPA. Conclusion Average daily dose (ADD) via indoor dust is estimated, and the order of intake through different pathways is hand-oral intake>skin contact>respiratory inhalation. Exposure risk of PAEs in children is greater than that in adults.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between 5-HTR1A gene C- 1019G polymorphism and the efficacy of antidepressants. METHODS PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library ,CNKI,Wanfang database ,CBM and VIP database were searched for domestic and foreign literatures on the correlation between 5-HTR1A gene C- 1019G polymorphism and antidepressant efficacy. The retrieval time limit was from the inception to February 2022. According to different outcome measures of drug response,Stata 14.0 and RevMan 5.4 software were used for meta-analysis of efficacy group and remission group ,respectively. RESULTS A total of 18 literature were included. The combined results showed that among recessive gene model in valid group , the correlation of 5-HTR1A gene C- 1019G polymorphism with the efficacy of antidepressants had statistically significance in Asian population(GG vs. CG+CC ,OR=0.751,95%CI=0.585-0.964,P=0.024). There was statistical significance in the correlation of 5-HTR1A gene C- 1019G polymorphism and the efficacy of antidepressants in China (GG vs. CG+CC ,OR=0.677,95%CI= 0.508-0.901,P=0.007). There was no statistical significance in the correlation of 5-HTR1A gene C- 1019G polymorphism and the efficacy of antidepressants in remission group (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS In the effective group ,5-HTR1A gene C- 1019G polymorphism is correlated with the efficacy of antidepressants in the Asian population and the Chinese population ;while in the remission group ,it is not proved that this polymorphism is correlated with the efficacy of antidepressants.

Decision-making aid for cancer patients is of great significance in the diagnosis and treatment for diseases. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women all over the world, and breast cancer patients have become the main target population for decision-aided research. Application of decision-making assistance for patients in Western countries has developed to a certain extent, while relevant research in China is still at the early stage. There are kinds of intervention forms for patients' decision aids, including traditional brochures and videos, decision aids systems, decision coaching, multidisciplinary breast cancer teams, etc. The tools for decision-making quality evaluation include the patients' awareness for decision-making, participation, decision-making conflict, decision-making satisfaction, decision-making regret, which can provide important guidance for the application of decision-making aid treatment in breast cancer patients in the future.

Objective:Through analyzing pulmonary function and clinical characteristics of preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) from 0 to 6 months, the characteristics of pulmonary function in infants with BPD were investigated.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 85 infants hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from December 2015 to December 2017, including 25 preterm infants with BPD (BPD group), 30 preterm infants without BPD (preterm control group), and 30 term infants without respiratory diseases (full-term control group), respectively.Pulmonary function were tested in preterm infants at 37 to 41 weeks of corrected age as well as at 6 months of corrected age, and full-term infants at 3 days to 1 week after birth as well as at 6 months old.The outcomes of respiratory system diseases at 6 months of corrected age in two groups of preterm infants were followed up.Results:(1) While preterm infants at 37 to 41 weeks of corrected age and full-term infants at 3 days to 1 week after birth, time to peak tidal expiratory flow/expiratory time(TPTEF/TE)and volume to peak tidal expiratory flow/exhaled volume(VPTEF/VE) of BPD group were lower than those of the other two groups ( P<0.05), while the differences between preterm control group and full-term control group is not significant.VPTEF, peak expiratory flow (PEF), tidal expiratory flow when 75% of tidal volume reminds in the lung (TEF75%), TEF50%, TEF25% in BPD group and preterm control group were lower than those in the full-term group ( P<0.05). The differences between BPD group and preterm control group were not significant ( P>0.05). The BPD group had significantly lower TPTEF/TE, VPTEF/VE and ratio of tidal expiratory flow and tidal inspiratory flow when 50% of tidal volume reminds in the lung (TEF50%/TIF50%) and higher VPTEF, PEF, TEF25% at 6 months of corrected age than those at 37 to 41 weeks of corrected age ( P<0.05). While at 6 months of corrected age, the BPD group had higher PEF than that in the preterm control group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between that in the occurrence of lower respiratory tract infections (43.3% vs.16.7%), wheezing (21.7% vs.8.3%), rehospitalization (39.1% vs.16.7%) between BPD group and preterm control group within 6 months of corrected age ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Infants with BPD had small airway obstruction at 37 to 41 weeks of corrected age and may not improve significantly at 6 months of corrected age.

Background:
Facial palsy treatment comprises static and dynamic techniques. Among dynamic techniques, local temporalis transposition represents a reliable solution to achieve facial reanimation. The present study describes a modification of the temporalis tendon transfer using a cryopreserved fascia allograft.Case presentation: Between March 2015 and September 2018, seven patients with facial palsy underwent facial reanimation with temporalis tendon transfer and fascia lata allograft. Patients with long-term palsy were considered, and both physical and social functions were evaluated. The mean follow-up time was 21.5 months. No immediate complications were observed. Patients reported improvement in facial symmetry both in static and dynamic. Improvement was noticed also in articulation, eating, drinking, and saliva control. The Facial Disability Index revealed an improvement both in physical function subscale and in the social/well-being function subscale.
Conclusions
This modified orthodromic technique allows to reduce the operative time and the risk of complications connected to the use of autologous tissues. The use of the cryopreserved fascia allografts from cadaveric donors seems to provide promising and long-standing results in the treatment of facial palsy.

Objective:To construct a Soochow University model of comfortable medical procedures during peri-anesthesia period for patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer through thoracoscope.Methods:In this prospective study, eight hundreds and sixty patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer through thoracoscope were enrolled in our hospital in 2018.During peri-anesthesia period, the 860 patients were randomly(by the random number table method)divided into the control group(the group C receiving routine medical procedures, n=430)and the comfort group(the group S receiving the comfortable medical procedures of Soochow University model, n=430). The scores of Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale(RASS), and Thirsty Analogue Scale(TAS)were recorded at 5 min after extubation(T1), at out of the post-anesthesia care unit(T2), at 1 h(T3), 6 h(T4), 12 h(T5), 24 h(T6), 2 d(T7)and 3 d after surgery(T8)in two groups.The incidences of postoperative sore throat(POST), nausea and vomiting(PONV), catheter-related bladder discomfort(CRBD), thirst and hypothermia were recorded at T2, T6 and T8, respectively.Meanwhile, the peri-anesthesia comfort questionnaire(PCQ)and peri-anesthesia satisfaction questionnaire(PSO)were completed at T6 and T8.Results:The incidences of POST(48.6% vs.16.2%), PONV(24.9% vs.13.0%), CRBD(78.8% vs.20.9%)and thirst(74.9% vs.20.0%)were higher in the group C than in the group S at T2( P<0.05). The comfort score and satisfaction score were lower in the group C than in the group S at T6(3.14±1.04 vs.4.92±1.42, 2.67±0.89 vs.3.30±1.01)and at T8(3.84±1.83 vs.5.05±1.77, 2.74±0.84 vs.3.26±1.06)( P<0.05). Conclusions:The Soochow University model of comfortable medical procedures during peri-anesthesia period for patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer through thoracoscope has been successfully constructed, and this model can reduce the incidence of complications, and improve the comfort and satisfaction during peri-anesthesia period.
