Randomized Controlled Trial[Effects of desflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia on postoperative recovery after long-term tumor surgery].
Objective: To analyze the effects of desflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia on postoperative recovery after long lasting tumor surgery. Methods: One hundred and sixty patients undergoing endoscopic radical esophagectomy and gastrectomy (80 cases of each surgical type) from November 2019 to March 2020 at Henan Cancer Hospital, were randomized into 4 groups(n=40): group CS (esophageal cancer+sevoflurane anesthesia), group DS (esophageal cancer+desflurane anesthesia),group CW (stomach cancer+sevoflurane anesthesia) and group DW (gastric cancer+desflurane anesthesia). General anesthesia was induced by intravenous agents in all four groups, which were maintained by inhaled anesthetic during the operation. ⋯ Compared with group CS and group CW, group DS and group DW required significantly shorter time for spontaneous breathing recovery, eye opening,extubation, and directional force recovery after operation (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Both desflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia can achieve satisfactory anesthesia depth during long lasting tumor surgery. Desflurane can shorten the recovery time and early extubation, and improve the quality of recovery.

Comparative Study[A comparative analysis of the efficacy of Advance(®) medial pivot prosthesis knee arthroplasty with posterior cruciate ligament retention or substituting based on propensity score matching].
Objective: To compare the clinical outcome of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention type and PCL substituting type using Advance(®) Medial Pivot (AMP) inner-axis knee prosthesis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the cases of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with AMP prosthesis in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2011 to September 2016. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), American Knee Society Knee Score (KSS) clinical scores, KSS functional scores and knee-joint range of motion (ROM) before and after TKA, and Forgotten Joint Scores (FJS) after TKA were collected. ⋯ Incidence of complications in the CR matching group (8.1%) was higher than that in the CS matching group (2.7%), but there was no statistical difference (χ(2)=1.04, P=0.31). Conclusions: When using AMP prosthesis, both CR insert and CS insert can obtain good clinical results in TKA. The potential risk of PCL injury and other complications after CR TKA makes it necessary for surgeons to carefully select an appropriate type of prosthesis.

[Application of urethral pressure profilometry in artificial urinary sphincter implantation].
Objective: To investigate the changes of maximum urethral pressure (MUP) and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) after artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) implantation and their prognostic value. Methods: The clinical data of patients who had undergone AUS implantation in multiple medical centers between March and July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Data of urethral pressure profilometry, pad usage, related scores and complications related to surgery were collected and compared. ⋯ All patients met the social continence (0-1 pad/d) criterion. No complications were reported during the follow-up. Conclusions: The relationship between the range of intraoperative urethral pressure and the effect of urinary control can be gained by measuring the specific values of MUP and MUCP during AUS implantation and the post-operative effects, which provides as a data basis for standardizing AUS implantation.

[Acute kidney injury diagnosed by elevated serum creatinine increases mortality in ICU patients following non-cardiac surgery].
Objective: To analyze whether acute kidney injury (AKI) patients diagnosed by elevated serum creatinine had a higher risk of in-hospital mortality following non-cardiac surgery compared with those diagnosed by oliguria alone according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a previous retrospective cohort study. A total of 729 consecutive adult patients with high risk of AKI admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Peking University First Hospital after non-cardiac surgery were enrolled in the previous study from July 2017 to June 2018. ⋯ Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that AKI-Scr (OR=20.286, 95%CI: 2.544-161.797, P=0.004) and preoperative hypoproteinemia (OR=4.897, 95%CI: 1.240-19.329, P=0.023) were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in postoperative AKI patients. Conclusions: AKI patients diagnosed by increased serum creatinine had a higher risk of in-hospital mortality following non-cardiac surgery, accompanied by several worsen short-term outcomes and higher total medical costs, compared with those diagnosed by oliguria alone according to the KDIGO criteria. More attention should be paid to AKI patients diagnosed by elevated serum creatinine, to improve the prognosis.

[Clinical value of early bedside ultrasound measurement of quadriceps femoris in diagnosis of ICU-acquired weakness].
Objective: To explore the correlation between quadriceps thickness (thickness of rectus femoris and vastus intermedius), cross-sectional area (cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris) and the strength score of the Medical Research Council (MRC) in critically ill patients, and to explore the changes in the length of hospital stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), and to determine the diagnostic value of muscle changes in the ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW). Methods: Patients admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine from March to October in 2019 who were expected to stay for more than five days were enrolled in this study. The cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris, the thickness of the rectus femoris, the thickness of the vastus intermedius on the first day of the ICU (D(1)), day 3 (D(3)), and day 5 (D(5)), day 7 (D(7)), out of ICU (D(ICU)), and the MRC muscle strength scores on the day of out of ICU prospectively were collected in all the patients, and the correlation and the regularity of quadriceps changes were analyzed. ⋯ The cross-sectional area, thickness of the rectus femoris muscle, and the vastus intermedius thickness were positively correlated with the MRC score (r=0.452, 0.411, 0.402, all P<0.05), and the changes were all negatively correlated with the MRC score (r=-0.682, -0.740, -0.734, all P<0.05). On the 3rd day after ICU admission, the best cutoff value of rectus muscle cross-sectional area atrophy rate for discrimination of ICU-AW was 6.0%, with a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 77.8%; on the 5th day, the best cutoff value of rectus femoris thickness atrophy rate was 14.5%, with a sensitivity of 77.8% and a specificity of 66.7%; on the 7th day, the best cutoff value of vastus intermedius thickness atrophy rate was 19.9%, with a sensitivity of 70.6% and a specificity of 87.5%. Conclusion: Bedside ultrasound measurement of the quadriceps femoris cross-sectional area and thickness has certain diagnostic value for ICU-AW, and can identify patients with ICU-AW early.
