Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks on the postoperative inflammatory and stress response in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), providing a theoretical foundation for clinical application.
Methods: Elderly patients with THA who received ultrasound-guided nerve block combined with general anesthesia from June 2021 to June 2022 in the hospital were selected as a retrospective cohort study. Patients were divided into two groups based on the type of nerve block used.
We review the study by Xu et al. (J Clin Monit Comput 37(4):985-992, 2023. https://doi.

Hirudin, an effective thrombin inhibitor, can offer protection against MIRI. This study aimed to determine if hirudin administration ameliorates HSR-induced MIRI and the underlying mechanism.

Methods: Ninety patients who had LC in Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated TCM-WM of Hebei from December 2016 to December 2019 were selected and divided into dexmedetomidine group (DEX group), oxycodone hydrochloride group (Q group), dexmedetomidine + oxycodone hydrochloride group (DQ group) by a random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. At the time before anesthesia induction (T0), and immediately (T1), 1 min (T2), 10 min (T3) and 30 minutes (T4) after extubation, the general vital signs of three groups were observed, and plasma cortisol (COR), epinephrine (E), norepinephrine (NE) and blood glucose (GLU) were measured.
