Measurement and spatio-temporal evolution of high-quality industrial development level in China.

The scientific measurement of high-quality industries development (Abbreviated as HQID) level is crucial for promoting their advancement in China. This measurement holds significant importance in reducing regional differences in HQID among cities and fostering coordinated urban industry development. This study utilizes panel data encompassing 286 cities in China from 2003 to 2022.

Effect of age and ICU types on mortality in invasive mechanically ventilated patients with sepsis receiving dexmedetomidine: a retrospective cohort study with propensity score matching.

Dexmedetomidine is recommended for sedation in patients on mechanical ventilation. Whether age or ICU types could alter mortality in invasive mechanically ventilated patients with sepsis receiving dexmedetomidine is unknown. We included patients with sepsis receiving invasive mechanical ventilation from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database.

Electroencephalogram Signatures of Agitation Induced by Sevoflurane and Its Association With Genetic Polymorphisms.

Volatile anesthetic-induced agitation, also called paradoxical excitation, is not uncommon during anesthesia induction. Clinically, patients with agitation may lead to self-injury or disrupt the operative position, increasing the incidence of perioperative adverse events. The study was designed to investigate clinical features of sevoflurane-induced agitation and examined whether any gene polymorphisms can potentially be used to predict agitation.

Sevoflurane Increases Hippocampal Theta Oscillations and Impairs Memory Via TASK-3 Channels.

Sevoflurane can induce memory impairment during clinical anesthesia; however, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. TASK-3 channels are one of the potential targets of sevoflurane. Accumulating evidence supports a negative role of intracranial theta rhythms (4-12 Hz) in memory formation.

Polymorphisms contribute to differences in the effect of rocuronium in Chinese patients.

Rocuronium is widely utilized in clinical general anaesthesia, and individual differences in pharmacology and clearance have been observed. Two hundred thirty-six Chinese patients undergoing selective thyroid/breast mass resection were studied. Total intravenous anaesthesia was induced with a single dose of propofol (2 mg·kg ), sufentanil (0.
