Can muscle weakness and disability influence the relationship between pain catastrophizing and pain worsening in patients with knee osteoarthritis? A cross-sectional study

ObjectiveTo verify if the relationship between pain catastrophizing and pain worsening would be mediated by muscle weakness and disability in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study in a hospital out-patient setting. Convenience sampling was used with a total of 50 participants with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Pain and the activities of daily livings (ADL) were assessed using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscale. Pain catastrophizing was assessed using the Coping Strategy Questionnaire (CSQ) subscale. Muscle strength of knee extension and 30-s chair stand test (30CST) were also assessed. Path analysis was performed to test the hypothetical model. Goodness of fit of models were assessed by using statistical parameters such as the chi-square value, goodness of fit index (GFI), adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI), comparative fit index (CFI), and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA).ResultsThe chi-square values were not significant (chi-square = 0.283, p = 0.594), and the indices of goodness of fit were high, implying a valid model (GFI = 1.000; AGFI = 0.997; CFI = 1.000; RMSEA = 0.000). Pain was influenced significantly by muscle strength and ADL; muscle strength was influenced significantly by ADL via 30CST; ADL was influenced by pain catastrophizing.ConclusionThe relationship between pain catastrophizing with pain worsening are mediated by muscle weakness and disability.     

电针复合TCI靶控输注在单肺通气食管癌开胸手术麻醉中的应用与安全性＊

目的 探讨电针复合靶控输注（Target Controlled Infusion， TCI）在单肺通气食管癌开胸手术麻醉中的应用价值。方法 选取于我院拟行单肺通气食管癌开胸切除手术患者60例作为研究对象。随机将其分为试验组与对照组，对照组30例采取气管插管全麻及TCI靶控输注维持麻醉深度，试验组30例则在对照组方案基础上辅助电针麻醉，记录两组患者手术麻醉时间、药物用量、苏醒时间、并发症；以及术前（T_Ⅰ）、插管前即刻（T_Ⅱ）、插管后1 min（T_Ⅲ）、切皮即刻（T_Ⅳ）、去骨时（T_Ⅴ）、拔管即刻（T_Ⅵ）时平均动脉压（MAP）、平均心率（HR）、BIS值；术前、术后1天、术后3天简易智能精神状态检查量表（MMSE）；并于麻醉诱导前（T₀）、手术开始2 h（T₁）、术后1天（T₂）、术后3天（T₃）时抽取患者外周静脉血检测IL-1β、IL-6、IL-10、TNF-α浓度。结果 试验组手术用时、麻醉时间略低于对照组，但差异无统计学意义（P>0.05），试验组异丙酚、舒芬太尼用量以及苏醒时间均明显低于对照组（P<0.05）；T_Ⅱ时两组平均动脉压（Mean Arterial Pressure， MAP）、心率（Heartrate， HR）较术前明显降低，且试验组MAP明显低于对照组（P<0.05），但两组T_Ⅱ时HR比较无显著差异（P>0.05）；T_Ⅲ、T_Ⅵ时对照组MAP、HR明显高于T_Ⅰ时，而试验组MAP、HR与T_Ⅰ比较无显著差异（P>0.05）。术后1天、3天试验组简易智能精神状态检查量表（Mini-Mental State Examination， MMSE）评分低于对照组，有显著性差异（P<0.05）。T₁、T₂、T₃时试验组白介素-1β（IL-1β）、白介素-6（IL-6）、肿瘤坏死因子（Tumor Necrosis Factor-α， TNF-α）水平明显低于对照组（P<0.05），白介素-10（IL-10）水平明显高于对照组（P<0.05）。结论 采用电针复合TCI靶控输注麻醉方案可有效提升单肺通气食管癌开胸手术麻醉效果，能够降低患者术后认知功能障碍发生风险。     

Safety profile of the adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine: Pooled analysis of two large randomised phase 3 trials

Background

The ZOE-50 (NCT01165177) and ZOE-70 (NCT01165229) phase 3 clinical trials showed that the adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) was ≥90% efficacious in preventing herpes zoster in adults. Here we present a comprehensive overview of the safety data from these studies.

中国经肛全直肠系膜切除结构化培训尸体手术训练中学员表现分析

目的 分析参加经肛全直肠系膜切除（taTME）结构化培训尸体手术训练中学员表现。方法 针对2018年4月至2019年7月参加taTME结构化培训研讨会的学员，通过问卷调查获取数据，分析学员在尸体手术训练过程中各步骤的技术表现、术中困难及并发症以及术后标本直肠系膜完整度等结果。结果 共45名学员参加taTME结构化培训研讨会，其中39名学员返回问卷。荷包缝合方面，5名（12.8%）学员未能独立完成，7名（17.9%）学员需要经过两次或以上尝试来完成荷包缝合。在各方向直肠系膜间隙的切开分离过程中，85%～90%学员能在教员不同程度上的口头指导下亲自完成。最终标本直肠系膜完整性的评价中，系膜不完整的标本共5例（12.8%），系膜近乎完整的标本共18例（46.2%），系膜完整的标本共16例（41.0%）。术中并发症及遇到困难方面，18名（46.2%）学员进入错误间隙，1名（2.6%）学员出现直肠穿孔，4名（10.3%）学员出现荷包失败，2名（5.1%）学员出现尿道损伤。单因素分析发现只有学员培训前独立完成taTME手术的例数≥1例为术中不出现并发症的影响因素。结论 参加培训的学员在荷包缝合、直肠全层切开以及直肠系膜间隙的分离等各重要手术步骤中获得较为充足的亲自上手练习机会，较丰富的工作经验以及腹腔镜全直肠系膜切除术（TME），经肛门内镜微创手术（TEM）、经肛门微创手术（TAMIS）的手术经验并不能降低taTME手术经肛操作部分的术中并发症发生率。参加包含尸体手术训练的taTME结构化培训有助于降低术中并发症发生率并提高手术安全性。     

Validation of PATHFx 2.0: An open-source tool for estimating survival in patients undergoing pathologic fracture fixation

Treatment decisions in patients with metastatic bone disease rely on accurate survival estimation. We developed the original PATHFx models using expensive, proprietary software and now seek to provide a more cost-effective solution. Using open-source machine learning software to create PATHFx version 2.0, we asked whether PATHFx 2.0 could be created using open-source methods and externally validated in two unique patient populations. The training set of a well-characterized, database records of 189 patients and the bnlearn package within R Version 3.5.1 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing), was used to establish a series of Bayesian belief network models designed to predict survival at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Each was externally validated in both a Scandinavian (n = 815 patients) and a Japanese (n = 261 patients) data set. Brier scores and receiver operating characteristic curves to assessed discriminatory ability. Decision curve analysis (DCA) evaluated whether models should be used clinically. DCA showed that the model should be used clinically at all time points in the Scandinavian data set. For the 1-month time point, DCA of the Japanese data set suggested to expect better outcomes assuming all patients will survive greater than 1 month. Brier scores for each curve demonstrate that the models are accurate at each time point. Statement of Clinical Significance: we successfully transitioned to PATHFx 2.0 using open-source software and externally validated it in two unique patient populations, which can be used as a cost-effective option to guide surgical decisions in patients with metastatic bone disease.     

改革开放以来中医药文化发展的演进与特点探析＊

中医药文化是中医药事业发展的根基和灵魂，社会主义文化建设的重要组成。本文考察改革开放40年以来中医药文化发展的演进过程，从“社会矛盾—政策方针—中医药文化发展”的中观视角，构建了中医药文化发展分析模型，发现中医药文化先后经历了资产化发展（1978年-21世纪初）、情景化发展（21世纪初-中国共产党第十八次全国代表大会（中共十八大）前后）、生态化发展（中共十八大至今）三个阶段，每个阶段中医药文化发展的策略、重点和面临的问题具有明显的不同特点。因此，本文提出以社会矛盾为导向，优化政策引导，构建中医药文化生态体系，从个人、社会和国家发展的不同层面采取多元双向发展路径，推进健康中国发展，提升文化自信，打造文化强国。
