Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous esketamine as an adjuvant for sedation or analgesia outside the operating room in adults and children.

Method: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for potential randomized controlled studies randomized controlled trials comparing drug combinations of esketamine to any other single or combination drug regimens for sedation or analgesia outside the operating room.

Results: Twenty-five studies with a total of 3,455 participants were included in this review.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of chronic pain and its risk factors in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Methods: A total of 145 patients diagnosed with OSA were consecutively recruited from the Sleep Medicine Center in West China Hospital. All patients were divided into two groups including OSA with and without chronic pain.

The inflammatory response of central nervous system (CNS) and microglial activation is important in the development of pain behaviors induced by sleep deprivation. We found that chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) aggravated pain behaviors in rats with chronic pain by upregulating expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), and interleukin 1β (IL-1β), which promoted microglial activation in the brain. We also found that CSD increased numbers of Iba1 and TLR4 cells, as well as neuronal apoptosis.

Background: To explore the effect of perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion on postoperative pain and the rapid recovery of patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery.

Methods: The patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery from May to July 2020 were selected. The patients were randomly divided into the lidocaine group (group L) and control group (group C) by the random number table method, with 60 patients in each group.

Objectives: Functional neuroimaging studies have shown that amputees have altered cortical reorganization and functional connectivity (FC). This study aimed to investigate whether patients with phantom limb pain (PLP) and PLP-free lower limb amputees exhibit changes in corresponding primary cortical motor area/somatosensory cortex (M1/S1) cortical reorganization and supplementary motor area (SMA) network FC. The association between functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) changes and clinical parameters is also explored.

Transient global cerebral ischemia (tGCI) induces inflammation leading to secondary brain injury. Data suggested that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in the occurrence and development of inflammatory reaction after reperfusion; however, the effectiveness of a highly selective COX-2 inhibitor, parecoxib, to counteract tGCI remains to be determined. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential protective actions of parecoxib in a rat model of tGCI and the role inflammation plays in this disorder.

Background: To provide an overview of phantom limb pain (PLP) in China. This includes the prevalence of PLP and possible risk factors.

Methods: In a retrospective study, telephone interviews were conducted with 391 amputation patients who underwent extremity amputations at a tertiary hospital in China.

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is a disorder that can result in permanent changes in the physiology and metabolism of the newborn, which increased the risk of disease in adulthood. Evidence supports IUGR as a risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus, which could reflect changes in pancreas developmental pathways. We sought to characterize the IUGR-induced alterations of the complex pathways of pancreas development in a rat model of IUGR.

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether environmental endocrine disrupting chemical, bisphenol A (BPA), affects secretion of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS-3) and insulin signaling transduction in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated for 0, 2, 6, 12 and 24 h with BPA at 80 µM in serum‑deprived medium. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were performed to detect the mRNA expression levels of SOCS‑3 and protein expression levels of SOCS‑3, insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS‑1), phosphorylated (p)‑IRS‑1, Akt and p‑Akt.

The CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (CEBPs) have been involved in the etiology of acute leukemia (AL) and investigated in numerous genetic association studies, however, the results were inconclusive. The current meta-analysis was conducted to clarify the effect of CEBPE rs2239633 variant on childhood AL risk. Electronic literature search was performed on August 15, 2014, from databases of Medline, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science.

Objective: Two common polymorphisms in the IKZF1 gene (rs4132601 and rs11978267 variants) have been reported to be associated with childhood acute leukemia (AL) risk, however the results were inconsistent. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to generate large-scale evidence on whether IKZF1 variants are risk factors for childhood AL.

Methods: The PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, and Web of Science were searched up to June 2, 2014 for studies on the association of IKZF1 polymorphisms with childhood AL risk.

We treated 20 patients suffering from uncertainty statements syndrome (USS) with stellate ganglion block (SGB) therapy. The medical infrared thermography was examined before and after the SGB therapy. Analysis on the changes of surface temperature as well as the outcome of the patients was carried out.
