Background: Managing postoperative pain and stress response was critical in laparoscopic myomectomy, a procedure for uterine fibroids. Ropivacaine transversus abdominis plane block (RTAPB) may offer enhanced analgesic efficacy and reduced stress responses compared to traditional analgesia.

Methods: This retrospective analysis examined 217 patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy at Hankou Hospital of Wuhan from June 2020 to September 2023. Patients were divided into routine analgesia (CA, n = 105) and RTAPB (n = 112) groups. Pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Stress hormone levels (cortisol, norepinephrine, Interleukin-6), preoperative and postoperative recovery, sleep quality, hemodynamic stability, complications, and patient satisfaction were evaluated post-surgery.

Results: The RTAPB group demonstrated significantly lower postoperative VAS pain scores at all measured intervals ( < 0.05). Stress hormones (postoperative cortisol, norepinephrine, and IL-6) were substantially lower in the RTAPB group compared to CA ( < 0.05), indicating reduced stress response. Intraoperative hemodynamic stability was improved with RTAPB, reflected in lower heart rate and mean arterial pressure ( < 0.05). Postoperative recovery and sleep quality were also better in the RTAPB group, as evidenced by higher QoR-40 and lower PSQI scores ( < 0.01). Although not statistically significant, RTAPB showed a trend toward fewer complications. Patient satisfaction, particularly with pain management, was significantly higher in the RTAPB group ( < 0.001).

Conclusion: RTAPB significantly enhances analgesic efficacy and moderates the physiological stress response in laparoscopic myomectomy patients compared to routine analgesia.

Purpose: Urinary cytokine changes may serve as biomarkers to assess treatment outcomes for interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). This study analyzed the changes in urinary cytokines following various bladder therapies and explored their clinical significance in therapeutic mechanisms.

Methods: A total of 122 patients with IC/BPS treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), botulinum toxin-A (BoTN-A), hyaluronic acid (HA), or low-energy shock wave (LESW) were evaluated.

FoxO1 promotes high glucose-induced inflammation and cataract formation via JAK1/STAT1.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol

January 2025

National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, 270 Xueyuan West Road, Wenzhou, 325027, Zhejiang, China.

Purpose: To investigate whether in diabetic cataract (DC), FoxO1 regulates high glucose (HG)-induced activation of NLRC4/IL-6 inflammatory mediators in human lens epithelial cells (SRA01/04) via the JAK1/STAT1 pathway, leading to cataract formation.

Methods: Expression levels of FoxO1, inflammatory factor IL-6 and inflammatory vesicle NLRC4 were examined in SRA01/04 under high glucose (HG) stress at 25-150 mM. Rat lenses were also cultured using HG medium with or without the addition of the FoxO1 inhibitor AS1842856 and the JAK1 agonist RO8191.

Background: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a significant mental health concern in refugee populations exposed to trauma and displacement. Traditional treatments for PTSD often involve lengthy interventions. However, there's a growing interest in exploring more condensed, intensive treatments to improve outcomes and accessibility for refugees.

Long-term effects of social play on neural and behavioral development remain unclear. We investigated whether just 1 h of juvenile social play could rescue the effects of play deprivation on stress-related behavior and markers of neural plasticity. Syrian hamsters were reared from postnatal days 21-43 in three conditions: peer isolation, peer isolation with daily social play sessions (dyadic play), or group-housed with littermates.
