Associations between eating alone, its transition and depressive symptoms among Chinese middle-aged and older adults: evidence from two national cohorts.

Background: Few studies have explored the longitudinal association between eating alone and depressive symptoms, and have focused on the effect of eating alone transition. This study aims to explore the longitudinal association between eating alone, its transition and depressive symptoms among two national surveys using a cohort study design.

Methods: The participants aged ≥ 45 years were recruited for the 2016 to 2018 waves China Family Panel Data (CFPS) and 2015 to 2018 waves China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).

Effect of body mass index trajectory on hypertension among children and adolescents aged 5-18 years: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Hypertension has become increasingly prevalent in Chinese children and adolescents in recent decades, which affects growth and development of children, leads to cognitive decline and multiple target organ damage. Here, we assessed the impact of different body mass index (BMI) trajectories on the occurrence of hypertension in children and adolescents using a cohort study in Northeast China.

Materials And Methods: Children and adolescents aged 5-18 years was extracted for physical examination in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province, China during the 2009-2015 period.

Trends in Cause-Specific Injury Mortality in China in 2005-2019: Longitudinal Observational Study.

Background: Over the last few decades, although the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of injury has shown a significant declining trend in China, this pattern has dramatically reversed recently.

Objective: We aimed to elucidate the geographical, demographic, and temporal trends of cause-specific injuries, the reversal phenomenon of these trends, and the fluctuations of injury burden from 2005 to 2019 in China.

Methods: A longitudinal observational study was performed using the raw data of injury deaths in the National Cause-of-Death surveillance data provided by the disease surveillance points system in 2005-2019.

Comparisons of nonpharmaceutical analgesia and pharmaceutical analgesia on the labor analgesia effect of parturient women.

Objective: We aimed to compare the labor analgesia effects of nonpharmaceutical analgesia and pharmaceutical analgesia on parturient women.

Methods: One hundred and four parturient women with spontaneous births were selected and randomly divided into pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical analgesia groups. Before and after analgesia, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), parturient satisfaction with analgesia, serum pain stress factors (substance P [SP], neuropeptide Y [NPY], nerve growth factor [NGF], and prostaglandin E2 [PGE2]), duration of labor, vaginal bleeding at 2 h postpartum, postpartum urinary retention and dysuria incidence, Apgar score of 1 min and 5 min after birth, and neonatal cord blood gas analysis (pH, partial pressure of oxygen [PO ], partial pressure of carbon dioxide [PCO ], and lactate [Lac]) were compared in the two groups.

S-Ketamine Exerts Antidepressant Effects by Regulating Rac1 GTPase Mediated Synaptic Plasticity in the Hippocampus of Stressed Rats.

Clinical studies have found that ketamine has a rapid and lasting antidepressant effect, especially in the case of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The molecular mechanisms, however, remain unclear. In this study, we observe the effects of S-Ketamine on the expression of Rac1, neuronal morphology, and synaptic transmission function in the hippocampus of stressed rats.

Combined lumbar muscle block and perioperative comprehensive patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with butorphanol in gynecological endoscopic surgery.

Background: Laparoscopic surgery has become a common surgical approach for the clinical treatment of intra-abdominal lesions in recent years. We hypothesized that lumbar block with postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) by butorphanol after gynecological surgery under general anesthesia would be more effective than PCIA by butorphanol alone.

Aim: To investigate the effect of lumbar block with PCIA by butorphanol after gynecological surgery under general anesthesia.

Effects of different anesthesia and analgesia on cellular immunity and cognitive function of patients after surgery for esophageal cancer.

Background: The study intends to analyze influences of different anesthesia and analgesia on cellular immune and cognitive functions of patients undergoing thoracotomy for esophageal cancer (EsC).

Methods: Patients undergoing thoracotomy for EsC were divided into four groups: Group A (received general anesthesia [GA]) and postoperative intravenous analgesia); B (received GA and postoperative epidural analgesia); C (received GA combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia [TEA]) and postoperative intravenous analgesia); D (received GA combined with TEA and postoperative epidural analgesia). The T-lymphocyte subsets were determined at 30 min before anesthesia induction (T0), 2 h after skin incision (T1), and at 4 h (T2), 24 h (T3), and 48 h (T4) after operation.

[A report of the solitary fibrous tumor in nasal cavity].

A 56-year-old woman, with a 1-day history of bilateral nose haemorrhagia, predominantly on the right side, sometimes manifested rhinocnesmus, sneeze and water rhinorrhea, no nose obstruction, and no fever. Endoscopy revealed a smooth and pinkish mass that completely obstructed the right nasal cavity and extended to the base of nose. Computed tomography showed a large mass that occupied the entire right nasal cavity and part of the right maxillary sinus, ethmoidal sinus and frontal sinusitis.
