Objective To investigate the incidences of anxiety and depressive symptoms among patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUA) managed by day surgery model, and explore their influential factors. Methods Convenience sampling was used to select patients who underwent day surgery at West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University between January 2021 and December 2022. General information questionnaire and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used to assess the socio-demographic data and anxiety and depressive symptoms of the participants. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influential factors of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Results A total of 1100 patients were included. The incidence of anxiety and depressive were 16.5% (181/1 100) and 16.9% (186/1 100) among patients undergoing day surgery for IUA respectively. Longer waiting days for admission [odds ratio (OR)=1.012, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.004, 1.020), P=0.004], married [OR=0.547, 95%CI (0.344, 0.869), P=0.011], more times of adhesion separation [OR=0.826, 95%CI (0.691, 0.986), P=0.034], older age [OR=0.947, 95%CI (0.909, 0.987), P=0.010] were influencing factors for anxiety symptoms in patients with IUA. Unemployment [OR=0.504, 95%CI (0.256, 0.994), P=0.048], university or undergraduate education [OR=0.326, 95%CI (0.208, 0.512), P<0.001], and high school or vocational school education [OR=0.532, 95%CI (0.319, 0.888), P=0.016] were the influencing factors for depressive symptoms in patients with IUA. Conclusions There is a high incidence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among patients with IUA under the management of day surgery mode. The influential factors include socio-demographic factors (age, education level, marital status and occupation) and disease factors (times of adhesion). Medical staff should pay attention to the early screening of mental health status of patients with IUA, and give targeted prevention and treatment measures.

Objective To explore the pathogenesis of acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS) by bioinformatics analysis of neutrophil gene expression profile in order to find new therapeutic targets. Methods The gene expression chips include ARDS patients and healthy volunteers were screened from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes were carried out through GEO2R, OmicsBean, STRING, and Cytoscape, then enrichment analysis of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genomes (KEGG) pathways was conducted to investigate the biological processes involved in ARDS via DAVID website. Results Bioinformatics analysis showed 86 differential genes achieved through the GEO2R website. Eighty-one genes were included in the STRING website for protein interaction analysis. The results of the interaction were further analyzed by Cytoscape software to obtain 11 hub genes: AHSP, ALAS2, CD177, CLEC4D, EPB42, GPR84, HBD, HVCN1, KLF1, SLC4A1, and STOM. GO analysis showed that the differential gene was enriched in the cellular component, especially the integrity of the plasma membrane. KEGG analysis showed that multiple pathways especially the cytokine receptor pathway involved in the pathogenesis of ARDS. Conclusions A variety of genes and pathways have been involved in the pathogenesis of ARDS. Eleven hub genes are screened, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of ARDS and can be used in subsequent studies.
Objective To investigate the impact of optimized preoperative fasting scheme for gynecological day surgery with general anesthesia. Methods We retrospectively selected 639 patients undergoing gynecological day surgery with general anesthesia between June 2021 and August 2021 in the day surgery department of West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University as the control group, and 920 patients undergoing gynecological day surgery with general anesthesia in the same hospital between November 2021 and February 2022 as the observational group. The patients in the control group were treated with routine preoperative fasting scheme, and the ones in the observational group were treated with optimized preoperative fasting scheme. The differences in preoperative duration of water deprivation, intraoperative and postoperative incidences of aspiration, and postoperative first anal exhaust time between the two groups were compared. Results The preoperative duration of water deprivation in the control group was longer than that in the observational group [(12.49±2.63) vs. (6.69±2.76) h, P<0.05]. The incidences of intraoperative and postoperative aspiration were both 0. The postoperative first anal exhaust time in the control group was later than that in the observational group [(11.51±6.58) vs. (8.19±4.13) h, P<0.05]. Conclusions For patients undergoing gynecological day surgery with general anesthesia, the implementation of the optimized preoperative fasting scheme can effectively shorten the preoperative duration of water deprivation, without increasing the risk of anesthesia. It can accelerate the recovery of intestinal function for gynecological laparoscopic day surgery with general anesthesia, promote the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery, and improve the efficiency of day surgery.
ObjectiveTo study the therapeutic efficacy of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)-guided radiofrequency thermo-coagulation ablation (RF-TC) in the treatment of tuberous sclerosis (TSC) related epilepsy and to investigate the prediction of the therapeutic response to SEEG-guided RF-TC for the efficacy of the subsequent surgical treatment. MethodsWe retrospectively analyze TSC patients who underwent SEEG phase II evaluation from January 2014 to January 2023, and to select patients who underwent RF-TC after completion of SEEG monitoring, study the seizure control of patients after RF-TC, and classify patients into effective and ineffective groups for RF-TC treatment according to the results of RF-TC treatment, compare the surgical outcomes of patients in the two groups after SEEG, to explore the prediction of surgical outcome by RF-TC treatment. Results59 patients with TSC were enrolled, 53 patients (89.83%) were genetic detection, of which 28 (52.83%) were TSC1-positive, 21 (39.62%) were TSC2-positive, and 4 (7.54%) were negative, with 33 (67.34%) de novo mutations. The side of the SEEG electrode placement: left hemisphere in 9 cases, right hemisphere in 13 cases, and bilateral hemisphere in 37 cases. 37 patients (62.71%) were seizure-free at 3 months, 31 patients (52.54%) were seizure-free at 6 months, 29 patients (49.15%) were seizure-free at 12 months, and 20 patients (39.21%) were seizure-free at 24 months or more. 11 patients had a seizure reduction of more than 75% after RF-TC, and the remaining 11 patients showed no significant change after RF-TC. There were 48 patients (81.35%) in the effective group and 11 patients (18.65%) in the ineffective group. In the effective group, 22 patients were performed focal tuber resection laser ablation, 19 cases were seizure-free (86.36%). In the ineffective group, 10 patients were performed focal tuber resection laser ablation, only 5 cases were seizure-free (50%), which was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). ConclusionsOur data suggest that SEEG guided RF-TC is a safe and effective both diagnostic and therapeutic treatment for TSC-related epilepsy, and can assist in guiding the development of future resective surgical strategies and determining prognosis.
ObjectiveTuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multisystem disease, which often manifests as refractory epilepsy in the nervous system and multifocality in Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We summarized patients with TSC whose peripheral blood gene test was negative,and analyzed their medical history, EEG, MRI and postoperative conditions. MethodsWe summarized and analyzed 205 patients with TSC diagnosed clinically and pathologically and underwent surgery from April 2008 to February 2024. 11 patients with TSC whose peripheral blood gene test was negative and underwent surgery were screened out.All patients underwent gene examination, MRI and long-range video EEG monitoring. All patients underwent detailed preoperative evaluation and direct resection surgery, intracranial electrode thermocoagulation surgery or laser surgery. ResultsOf the 11 patients with peripheral blood gene test negative, 11 (100%) patients achieved Engel Ⅰ within 1 year after surgery, and 10 (91%) patients achieved Engel Ⅰwithin 2 years. The median age of onset of 11 patients was 6 months, and 8 patients (73%) had onset less than 1 year old. All patients had multiple nodules in the brain. Except for the brain, the changes of the other organs were polycystic kidney and skin changes in 2 patients, skin changes in 8 patients, and normal in 1 patients. ConclusionTSC patients with peripheral blood gene negative who have young onset age, frequent seizures, and multiple nodules on MRI often present with refractory epilepsy. However, the postoperative effect is good, and the postoperative EEG of most patients is normal.
Background To summarize the genetic characteristics of GATOR1 complex gene mutations and the surgical prognosis of patients with refractory epilepsy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 16 patients with GATOR1 complex gene mutations who presented with mainly refractory epilepsy and underwent surgical treatment at the Epilepsy Center of Tsinghua University Yuquan Hospital from May 2019 to August 2024. The follow-up period ranged from 0.5 to 4.0 years. The genetic characteristics, clinical data, treatment, and prognosis of the patients were analyzed. Results Among the 16 patients, 9 were male and 7 were female, with an onset age ranging from 0.6 to 9.4 years, and seizure frequency ranging from once a day to dozens of times a day. Twelve patients (75.0%) had no seizures after surgery, and three of them had completely stopped taking medication. EEG were focal or multifocal, and all clinical seizures were monitored. Two patients had negative MRI. Among the 16 patients, there were 8 with DEPDC5 gene mutations, 5 with NPRL3 gene mutations, and 3 with NPRL2 gene mutations. Conclusions Patients with refractory epilepsy related to GATOR1 complex gene mutations are good surgical candidates, with a high rate of no seizures after surgery. For confirmed patients, surgical treatment should be considered.
The May 12 8-magnitude earthquake caused damage to 87.7% of the health systems in the worst-hit Mianyang areas with 326 casualties and the direct economic loss of RMB 3 124 billion. Within 30 minutes after the earthquake, the Mianyang headquarters for earthquake disaster relief and the Mianyang public health headquarters for medical rescue and treatment were organized. Five medical teams were sent to Beichuang County, the worst-hit Mianyang area within four hours after the earthquake. A total of 22 947 wounded and sick were delivered to local hospitals after simple triage and rapid treatment through three station. By June 30, the Mianyang medical organisation had received 379 600 person times and admitted 21628 inpatients in total, including 2 772 severely-wounded (including 146 with limbs amputated and 846 dead during the stay). Since May 17, 3381 wounded had been transferred to 14 provincial and city-level hospitals across China. On June 20, the Mianyang Rehabilitation Center for wounded and sick people was established and received 156 rehabilitation inpatients and cured 32 ones. Together with the medical team for psychological intervention, they provided psychological support for victims for over 70 000 person times. Within two hours after the earthquake, the Mianyang Organisation for Health and Epidemic Control and Prevention launched the emergency response plan for major natural disasters, prepared and improved the technical scheme for disease prevention after the earthquake. The organisation rapidly sent out emergency teams for disease control and prevention and completed the following tasks: disinfection and burial of corpses and disposal of carcasses, monitoring of the water quality and epidemics, disinfection of environmental ruins, epidemic control in resettled areas, precaution of the secondary disasters caused by the earthquake and conduction of large-scale health education. The emergency command system for medical rescue and disease control and prevention in the worst-hit Mianyang areas after Wenchuan Earthquake integrated resources, carried out the unified command and responded rapidly. Moreover, the headquarter of medical relief coordinated and orderly unified the governmental and non-governmental organizations, which achieved good performance for both medical relief and anti-epidemic. The experience of earthquake medical relief will benefit the post-disaster reconstruction, as well as the establishment of national and regional emergency response systems.
