Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of perioperative analgesia with esketamine in the patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods:A total of 90 patients of either sex, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective thoracoscopic lobectomy under general anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) by a random number table method: control group (C group) and different doses of esketamine groups (S 1 group, S 2 group). Before induction of anesthesia, esketamine 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg were intravenously injected in S 1 group and S 2 group, respectively, while esketamine was not given in group C. Anesthesia was routinely induced in all the three groups. During anesthesia maintenance, esketamine 0.1 and 0.2 mg·kg -1·h -1 were intravenously infused in group S 1 and group S 2, respectively, and the remaining drugs used for anesthesia maintenance were the same in the three groups. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was used after operation, and PCIA solution contained sufentanil 2 μg/kg in group C, and esketamine 1 mg/kg was mixed on the basis as previously described in S 1 and S 2 groups. Aminotriol ketorolac was given as rescue analgesia to maintain numeric rating scale score at rest ≤3. The total amount of propofol and remifentanil during operation, effective pressing times of PCIA in postoperative 0-24 h and >24-48 h periods, and requirement for rescue analgesia were recorded. The occurrence of adverse reactions such as respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and salivation, and emergence time were recorded after surgery. The serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentration was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at 30 min before and after surgery, and the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in serum was measured by thiobarbituric acid colorimetric analysis. The postoperative recovery was assessed using the 50-item quality of recovery scale at 1 and 2 days after surgery. The development of chronic pain was followed up by telephone within 1-3 months after surgery. Results:Compared with group C, the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil, effective pressing times of PCIA in postoperative 0-24 h and >24-48 h periods, rate of rescue analgesia, and postoperative serum IL-6 concentration were significantly decreased, and the 50-item quality of recovery scale score was increased in S 1 and S 2 groups, and the postoperative serum MDA concentration was significantly decreased in group S 2 ( P<0.05). Compared with group S 1, the consumption of intraoperative remifentanil was significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in postoperative serum IL-6 and MDA concentrations in group S 2 ( P>0.05). Compared with group S 2, the postoperative emergence time was significantly shortened in S 1 and C groups ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the intraoperative consumption of propofol, incidence of adverse effects and incidence of chronic pain among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Esketamine for perioperative analgesia (dose before anesthesia induction 0.1 mg/kg, dose for maintenance of anesthesia 0.1 mg·kg -1·h -1, dose for postoperative PCIA 1 mg/kg) can raise the quality of analgesia and improve the quality of early postoperative recovery in the patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Objective To observe the effect of pressure-controlled ventilation volume-guaranteed(PCV-VG)mode on respiratory mechanics,lung injury markers and postoperative pulmonary complications(PPCs)in thoracoscopic patients.Methods Fifty-nine patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic lobecto-my,29 males and 30 females,aged 18-64 years,BMI 18.5-26.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were divided into two groups using a random number table method:the PCV-VG mode group(group P,n=29)and the volume-controlled ventilation(VCV)mode group(group V,n=30).The PCV-VG mode was used for one-lung ventilation(OLV)in group P,and the VCV mode was used in group V.Anesthesia in-duction and maintenance medications were consistent in all patients.PaO2 was recorded before induction of anesthesia,5 minutes after intubation,15 minutes after OLV,30 minutes after OLV,and 3 days postopera-tively,and oxygenation index(OI)and intrapulmonary shunt rate(Qs/Qt)were calculated.Peak airway pressure(Ppeak),pulmonary dynamic compliance(Cdyn),and driving pressure(DP)were recorded 5 minutes after intubation,15 minutes after OLV,and 30 minutes after OLV.Clara cell secretory protein-16(CC-16)and interleukin-6(IL-6)concentration were measured before induction of anesthesia and after ex-tubation.Recording the occurrence of PPCs within 1 week after surgery.Results Compared with group V,Ppeak and DP were significantly reduced,Cdyn was increased significantly in group P 15 minutes and 30 minutes after OLV(P＜0.05),PaO2 and OI were significantly increased in group P 3 days postoperatively(P＜0.05),CC-16 and IL-6 concentrations were significantly reduced in group P after extubation(P＜0.05).Compared with group V,the incidence of PPCs was significantly reduced in group P(P＜0.05).Conclusion During one-lung ventilation for thoracoscopic surgery,the pressure-controlled ventilation vol-ume-guaranteed mode reduces peak airway pressure and driving pressure,improves pulmonary dynamic compliance and improves oxygenation,reduces the incidence of PPCs.

Objective To investigate the myocardial injury effects of intrathecal morphine injection in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods Fifty-five elderly patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic lobectomy,28 males and 27 females,aged 65-85 years,BMI 18.5-27.9 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were divided into two groups using the digital random allocation method:the control group(group C,n=28)and intrathecal morphine group(group M,n=27).Group M was given a single injection of morphine 4 pig/kg in the L2-3 space before surgery.General anesthesia was used in both groups,and single-lung ventilation was performed with double-lumen endotracheal intubation.Venous blood was collected before induction,24 and 48 hours after the operation to measure the levels of N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP),creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB),high-sensitivity troponin T(hs-TnT)and C-reactive protein(CRP).The incidence of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery(MINS)was recorded.The intraoperative remifentanil dosage was recorded and the VAS pain scores at rest and during activity at 6,12,24,and 48 hours postoperatively were evaluated.The number of effective pa-tient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)compressions,the total number of PCIA compressions,the times of remedial analgesia in the postoperative period of 48 hours,as well as the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions(respiratory depression,nausea and vomiting,urinary retention,and pruritus)were re-corded.Postoperative 30-day major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events were recorded.Results Compared with preoperative,the levels of serum NT-proBNP,CK-MB,hs-TnT,and CRP were significantly higher in both groups at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively(P＜0.05).Compared with group C,the elevated levels of serum NT-proBNP,CK-MB,hs-TnT,CRP,and absolute hsTnT changes were signifi-cantly lower in group M 24 and 48 hours after operation(P＜0.05),the incidence of MINS was signifi-cantly lower in group M(P＜0.05).Compared with group C,the VAS pain scores of patients in group M were decreased significantly 6,12 and 24 hours during activity and 12 and 24 hours at rest after surgery(P＜0.05),the dosage of intraoperative remifentanil,the number of effective and total postoperative PCIA compressions,and the incidence of need for postoperative remedial analgesia were significantly reduced in group M(P＜0.05).There was no significantly difference in the incidence of postoperative adiverse reca-tions between the two groups.Conclusion Intrathecal morphine can reduce the levels of markers of myo-cardial injury in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy,which plays a partial role in myocardial protection.

Objective To investigate the effect of manual therapy based on surface electromyography on knee osteoarthritis(KOA)in the older people. Methods A total of 106 outpatient with unilateral KOA were selected from Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,from August,2023 to June,2024,and were randomly divided into control group(n=53)and experimental group(n=53).The control group accepted routine manual therapy,and the experimental group accepted manual therapy based on the analysis of average electromyography(AEMG).They were assessed with Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC),Visual An-alogue Scale(VAS)for pain,Tinetti Balance and Gait Score,and 6-minute walk test(6-MWT)distances before and after treatment. Results One case dropped down in each group.Before treatment,AEMG decreased in the rectus femoris,medial femoris and medial head of gastrocnemius on the affected side in the experimental group(|Z|>8.647,P<0.001),and it increased in the lateral femoris,semitendinosus and biceps femoris(|Z|>4.808,P<0.001).The scores of WOMAC,VAS,Tinetti Balance and Gait Score,and distances of 6-MWT improved in both groups after treat-ment(|t|>3.987,P<0.001),and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group,except the VAS score(|t|>2.213,P<0.05). Conclusion Manual therapy focusing on activation of rectus femoris,medial femoris and medial head of gastrocnemius,inhibition of the lateral femoris,semitendinosus and biceps femoris,and releasing the tension of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments,according to the results of surface electromyography,can alleviate the pain of the KOA in the older people and improve the mobility of the knee.

The prevalence of gouty arthritis is increasing year by year.Acute attacks seriously affect work and life.Poor control of chronic recurrent attacks may lead to teratogenicity and disability.Targeted reduction of serum uric acid levels and crystallolysis is the key to gout treatment.Although its treatment guidelines are relatively complete and drug choices are relatively wide,the clinical effect is still not satisfactory.This review focuses on the molecular and cytopathological mechanisms behind the clinical manifestations of acute attack and spontaneous remission of gouty arthritis,so as to further understand the necessity of standardized clinical medica-tion and explore its potential treatment strategies.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for the recurrence of lower-extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans in patients after interventional surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 98 patients with lower-extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans who received treatment in Lishui Municipal Central Hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were randomly divided into a recurrent group ( n = 36) and a non-recurrent group ( n = 62). The immediate efficacy of interventional therapy and the follow-up were determined in each group. Clinical data, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and fasting blood glucose level were compared between the two groups. The risk factors for the recurrence of lower-extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans after interventional surgery were further analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Results:The success rate of interventional surgery for aortoiliac artery, superficial femoral artery, and inferior genicular artery were 95.35% (41/43), 97.73% (43/44), and 95.83% (46/48), respectively. Twelve-month follow-up results showed that the patency rate of lower-extremity vessels decreased with time ( P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in Trans-Atlantic Inter Society Consensus (TASC) classification between the two groups (11/26/18/7 vs. 4/5/10/17, χ2 = 18.33, P < 0.05). Ankle-brachial index (ABI) in the recurrence group was significantly lower than that in the non-recurrence group [(0.77 ± 0.12) vs. (0.40 ± 0.02), t = 18.31, P < 0.05]. There were no significant differences in triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose levels between the two groups (all P < 0.05). The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the non-recurrent group was significantly lower than that in the recurrent group [(1.98 ± 0.28) vs. (13.18 ± 0.50), t = 15.25, P < 0.05]. Logistic regression analysis results showed that ABI ( OR = 1.459, 95% CI: 1.163-1.832), TASC classification ( OR = 1.344, 95% CI: 1.090-1.658), surgical method ( OR = 1.392, 95% CI: 1.140-1.700) and NLR ( OR = 1.474, 95% CI: 1.184-1.836) were the influential factors of recurrence of lower-extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:ABI, TASC classification, surgical methods, and NLR are the influential factors of lower-extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans after interventional surgery. The above indexes should be closely monitored in clinical practice to maintain the effects of interventional surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic etiology of a child with early-onset severe obesity. METHODS: A child who presented at the Department of Endocrinology, Hangzhou Children's Hospital on August 5, 2020 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child were reviewed. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the child and her parents. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out on the child. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. RESULTS: This child was a 2-year-and-9-month girl featuring severe obesity with hyperpigmentation on the neck and armpit skin. WES revealed that she has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the MC4R gene, namely c.831T>A (p.Cys277*) and c.184A>G (p.Asn62Asp). Sanger sequencing confirmed that they were respectively inherited from her father and mother. The c.831T>A (p.Cys277*) has been recorded by the ClinVar database. Its carrier frequency among normal East Asians was 0.000 4 according to the 1000 Genomes, ExAC, and gnomAD databases. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), it was rated as pathogenic. The c.184A>G (p.Asn62Asp) has not been recorded in the ClinVar, 1000 Genomes, ExAC and gnomAD databases. Prediction using IFT and PolyPhen-2 online software suggested it to be deleterious. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, it was determined as likely pathogenic. CONCLUSION The c.831T>A (p.Cys277*) and c.184A>G (p.Asn62Asp) compound heterozygous variants of the MC4R gene probably underlay the early-onset severe obesity in this child. Above finding has further expanded the spectrum of MC4R gene variants and provided a reference for the diagnosis and genetic counseling for this family.
