RESUMO
Recently a dark matter-electron (DM-electron) paradigm has drawn much attention. Models beyond the standard halo model describing DM accelerated by high energy celestial bodies are under intense examination as well. In this Letter, a velocity components analysis (VCA) method dedicated to swift analysis of accelerated DM-electron interactions via semiconductor detectors is proposed and the first HPGe detector-based accelerated DM-electron analysis is realized. Utilizing the method, the first germanium based constraint on sub-GeV solar reflected DM-electron interaction is presented with the 205.4 kg·day dataset from the CDEX-10 experiment. In the heavy mediator scenario, our result excels in the mass range of 5-15 keV/c^{2}, achieving a 3 orders of magnitude improvement comparing with previous semiconductor experiments. In the light mediator scenario, the strongest laboratory constraint for DM lighter than 0.1 MeV/c^{2} is presented. The result proves the feasibility and demonstrates the vast potential of the VCA technique in future accelerated DM-electron analyses with semiconductor detectors.
RESUMO
This study is aimed at investigating the effects of dietary supplementation with Artemisia ordosica crude polysaccharides (AOCP) on lactation performance, antioxidant status, and immune status of lactating donkeys and analyzing rectal microbiomes and serum metabolomes. Fourteen lactating Dezhou donkeys with similar age (6.16 ± 0.67 years of BW ± SD), weight (250.06 ± 25.18 kg), days in milk (39.11 ± 7.42 d), and averaged parity of 3 were randomly allocated into 2 treatments: a control group (CON, basal diet) and an AOCP group (AOCP, basal diet with 1.0 g/kg DM AOCP). Ten weeks were allotted for the experiment, 2 weeks for adaptation, and 8 weeks for collecting data and samples. The results showed that supplementation of donkey diets with AOCP increased lactation performance, including dry matter intake, milking yield, estimated milk yield, solids-corrected milk, energy-corrected milk, milk fat yield, milk protein yield, milk lactose yield, milk total solids yield, and milk solid not fat yield. The digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, acid detergent fiber, and neutral detergent fiber was increased in the AOCP group compared with the CON group. The AOCP group increased the concentrations of immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, and immunoglobulin M, the activities of the superoxide dismutase, catalase and total antioxidant capacity in the serum. AOCP decreased the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α, nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, and malondialdehyde in the serum. Compared with the CON group, AOCP increased propionate, butyrate, isovalerate, and total VFA concentrations in rectal feces (P < 0.05). The addition of AOCP to increased diversity (Shannon index) and altered structure of the rectal microflora. As a result of AOCP supplementation, there has been a significant improvement in the colonization of beneficial bacteria, including Lactobacillus, Unclassified_f_Prevotellacea, Ruminococcus, and Fibrobacter genera. In contrast, a decrease in the colonization of the Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 bacterial genus and other pathogenic bacteria was observed. Meanwhile, metabolomics analysis found that AOCP supplementation upregulated metabolites L-tyrosine content while downregulating 9(S)-HODE, choline, sucrose, LysoPC (18:0), LysoPC (18:1(9Z), and LysoPC (20:2(11Z,14Z)) concentrations. These altered metabolites were involved in the PPAR signaling pathway, prolactin signaling pathway, glycerophospholipid metabolism, carbohydrate digestion and absorption, and tyrosine metabolism pathways, which were mainly related to antioxidant capacity, immune responses, and protein metabolism in the lactating donkeys. As a consequence of feeding AOCP diets, beneficial bacteria were abundant, and antioxidant and protein metabolism-related pathways were enriched, which may enhance lactation performance in donkeys. Therefore, supplementing AOCP diets is a desirable dietary strategy to improve donkey health and lactation performance.
RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of induced labor in twin pregnancy and the related factors of induced labor failure. Methods: The clinical data of twin pregnant women who underwent induced labor in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether they had labor or not after induction, pregnant women were divided into the success group (pregnant women who had labor after induction, 72 cases) and the failure group (pregnant women who did not have labor after induction, 30 cases). Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of induction failure in twin pregnant women. Results: The parity and cervical Bishop score in the failure group were significantly lower than those in the success group, while the proportion of dichorionic diamniotic twins, assisted reproductive technology pregnancy and cervical Bishop score <6, postpartum hospital stay and total hospital stay in the failure group were significantly higher than those in the success group (all P<0.05). The proportion of induced labor by artificial rupture of membranes ± oxytocin intravenous infusion in the success group was 72.2% (52/72), which was significantly higher than that in the failure group (46.7%, 14/30; P=0.030). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the gestational age at delivery, the incidence of severe postpartum hemorrhage and blood transfusion, the amount of postpartum hemorrhage, the neonatal weight of two fetuses, the incidence of neonatal asphyxia, and the proportion of neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (all P>0.05). There were no severe perineal laceration and hysterectomy in all pregnant women. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that primipara (OR=3.064, 95%CI: 1.112-8.443; P=0.030) and cervical Bishop score <6 (OR=5.208, 95%CI: 2.008-13.508; P=0.001) were the independent risk factors for induction failure in twin pregnancy. Conclusions: Elective induction of labor in twin pregnancy is safe and feasible. It is helpful to improve the success rate of induction of labor by strictly grasping the timing and indications of termination of pregnancy, choosing the appropriate method of induction according to the condition of the cervix, and actively promoting cervical ripening.

Objective: To explore the role of mechanical hemodynamic support (MHS) in mapping and catheter ablation of patients with hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT), report single-center experience in a cohort of consecutive patients receiving VT ablation during MHS therapy, and provide evidence-based medical evidence for clinical practice. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. Patients with hemodynamically unstable VT who underwent catheter ablation with MHS at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University between August 2021 and December 2023 were included. Patients were divided into rescue group and preventive group according to the purpose of treatment. Their demographic data, periprocedural details, and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 15 patients with hemodynamically unstable VT were included (8 patients in the rescue group and 7 patients in the preventive group). The acute procedure was successful in all patients. One patient in the rescue group had surgical left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, remaining 14 patients received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for circulation support. ECMO decannulation was performed in 12 patients due to clinical and hemodynamic stability, of which 6 patients were decannulation immediately after surgery and the remaining patients were decannulation at 2.0 (2.5) d after surgery. Two patients in the rescue group died during the index admission due to refractory heart failure and cerebral hemorrhage. During a median follow-up of 30 d (1 d to 12 months), one patient with LVAD had one episode of ventricular fibrillation at 6 months after discharge, and no further episodes of ventricular fibrillation and/or VT occurred after treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs. No malignant ventricular arrhythmia occurred in the remaining 12 patients who were followed up. Conclusions: MHS contributes to the successful completion of mapping and catheter ablation in patients with hemodynamically unstable VT, providing desirable hemodynamic status for emergency and elective conditions.

Severe hypokalemia is defined as the concentration of serum potassium lower than 2.5 mmol/L, which may lead to serious arrhythmias and cause mortality. We report an unusual case of potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias induced by severe hypokalemia in a patient undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in Peking University Third Hospital due to irregular use of indapamide before operation. Indapamide is a sulfonamide diuretic with vasodilative and calcium antagonistic effects, which enhances sodium delivery to the renal distal tubules resulting in a dose-related increase in urinary potassium excretion and decreases serum potassium concentrations. The electrolyte disorder caused by the diuretic is more likely to occur in the elderly patients, especially those with malnutrition or long-term fasting. Hence, the serum potassium concentration of the patients under indapamide therapy, especially elderly patients, should be monitored carefully. Meanwhile, the potassium concentration measured by arterial blood gas analysis is different from that measured by venous blood or laboratory test. According to the previous research, the concentration of potassium in venous blood was slightly higher than that in arterial blood, and the difference value was 0.1-0.5 mmol/L. This error should be taken into account when rapid intravenous potassium supplementation or reduction of blood potassium level was carried out clinically. In the correction of severe hypokalemia, the standard approach often did not work well for treating severe hypokalemia. The tailored rapid potassium supplementation strategy shortened the time of hypokalemia and was a safe and better treatment option to remedy life-threatening arrhythmias caused by severe hypokalemia with a high success rate. Through the anesthesia management of this case, we conclude that for the elderly patients who take indapamide or other potassium excretion diuretics, the electrolyte concentration and the general volume state of the patients should be comprehensively measured and fully evaluated before operation. It may be necessary for us to reexamine the serum electrolyte concentration before anesthesia induction on the morning of surgery in patients with the history of hypokalemia. For severe hypokalemia detected after anesthesia, central venous cannulation access for individualized rapid potassium supplementation is an effective approach to reverse the life-threatening arrhythmias caused by severe hypokalemia and ensure the safety of the patients.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of propofol used for painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy on psychomotility recovery. METHODS: One hundred adult patients undergoing painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy were recruited, aged 18-72 years, with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status â -â ¡. According to age, the patients were divided into youth group (20-39 years old, 27 cases), middle age group (40-54 years old, 37 cases), and elder group (55-64 years old, 36 cases). Propofol was continuously infused according to the patients' condition to mantain the bispectal index (BIS) score 55-64. All the patients received psychomotility assesment 30 min before the operations when the discharge criteria were met including number cancellation test, number connection test and board test. The heart rate, blood pressure, saturation of pulse oximetry, electrocardiograph and BIS were monitored during the operation. The operating time, recovery time, total volume of propofol and discharge time were recorded. If the results obtained were inferior to those before operation, a third assessment was taken 30 minutes later until the results recovered or being superior to the baseline levels. RESULTS: All the patients completed the first and second assessments, and 25 patients had taken the third assessment. There was no statistically significant difference in the results of psychomotility assessment when the patients met the discharge standard. Furthermore, the results were analyzed by grouping with age, and there was no statistical difference in the test results of the youth and middle age groups compared with the preoperative group, among which, the efficiency of the number cancellation test was significantly better than that before operation in the youth group (P < 0.05). However, in the elderly patients the number cancellation efficiency, number connection test and board test were significantly inferior to that before operation (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the accuracy of number cancellation compared with that before operation. The patients who needed the third test in the elder group were significantly more than in the other groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the preoperative results, there was no statistical difference in the test results of those who completed the third test. CONCLUSION: The psychomotility function of the patients who underwent painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy was recovered when they met discharge criteria. The elderly patients had a prolonged recovery period.

Objective: To explore the risk factors of anxiety in patients with atrial fibrillation and their caregivers. Methods: From September 2020 to March 2021, patients with atrial fibrillation and one primary family member as caregiver of each patient from Beijing Anzhen Hospital were enrolled. Basic data of patients and their caregivers were collected, and anxiety of patients and caregivers were evaluated by Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7). A total of 374 patients with atrial fibrillation and their caregivers were included in this study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of anxiety of patients and their caregivers. Results: The mean age of the patients was (58.3±10.6) years, and 124 (33.2%) were female. The caregivers were (53.6±11.6) years old, and 247 (66%) were female. 69 (18.4%) patients and 38 (10.2%) caregivers had mild anxiety (GAD-7:5-9 scores), 13 (3.5%) patients and 9 (2.4%) caregivers had moderate or higher anxiety (GAD-7:10-21 scores). Multivariate analysis showed that the risk factors of anxiety in patients with atrial fibrillation included EHRA score≥3 (OR=1.73,95%CI:1.03-2.89,P=0.039) and female sex (OR=1.90,95%CI:1.06-3.40,P=0.032). EHRA score of patients≥3 (OR=2.11,95%CI:1.05-4.24, P=0.036) or anxiety of patients (OR=2.76,95%CI:1.36-5.60,P=0.005) were associated with higher anxiety of caregivers. Moreover, age of≥65 years old (OR=3.97,95%CI:1.68-9.38,P=0.002), female sex (OR=3.83,95%CI:1.64-8.93,P=0.002) and number of comorbidities of caregivers≥2 (OR=2.57,95%CI:1.03-6.41,P=0.043) were also associated with anxiety of caregivers. Conclusions: Patients with severe symptoms have a higher proportion of anxiety, and their caregivers are more likely to experience anxiety. Anxiety rate is higher in caregivers of patients with anxiety.

To determine the types and proportion of common hemoglobin variants in Tianjin and surrounding areas, to analyze the recognition ability and the effects of hemoglobin variants on experimental results in two commonly used glycated hemoglobin systems, so as to provide data support for the consistency of HbA1c detection in Tianjin City. A case-control study was used for retrospective analysis,156 specimens with abnormal electrophoretic peaks in the detection of glycated hemoglobin were collected from more than 50 000 specimens of patients in Chu Hsien-I Memorial Hospital of Tianjin Medical University between June 2020 and December 2020. Determined their hemoglobin mutation sites by DNA sequencing, and compared the values of hemoglobin variants on glycated hemoglobin detection values by high performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. SPSS 23 was used to calculate the blood routine results of the variant specimens, and compared with the normal reference interval. The results showed that DNA sequencing identified 21 hemoglobin variants, of which 11 were α strand variants and 10 were ß strand variants. In addition, an unreported hemoglobin variant was identified, Hb Headington (HBB: c.217A>C). The HbA1c of 11 variants including Hb G-Honolulu, Hb Queens, Hb Q-Thailand, Hb J-Broussais, Hb O-Indonesia, Hb G-Coushatta, Hb G-Taipei, Hb E, Hb Headington, Hb New York and Hb D-Los Angeles were shifted by more than 7% when measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Patients with the Hb Q-Thailand and Hb E cause reduced MCV and MCH. In conclusion, an unreported hemoglobin variant was found from Tianjin and neighboring areas. Patients with the Hb Q-Thailand and Hb E cause reduced MCV and MCH. 11 of these hemoglobin variants interfered with the detection of glycated hemoglobin using high-performance liquid chromatography, resulting in inaccurate results.

Corneal organoids are cornea-like tissue structures that are developed from induced pluripotent stem cells or embryonic stem cells in vitro. They have similar anatomical characteristics and gene expression profiles to the human cornea. Although the culture of corneal organoids is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, they can be tailored to reconstruct the physiological environment and the interaction between corneal cells in each layer, which suggests broad application prospects. In this article, we review the latest research progress and summarize the application of corneal organoids in the research of corneal development mechanisms, keratopathy pathogenesis, donor corneal transplantation, and corneal organoids-on-a-chip, in order to provide reference for further clinical corneal research concerning keratopathy models, drug screening, and personalized medicine.

Objective: To analyze the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) for Nocardia keratitis. Methods: It was a retrospective case series study. Medical records of 16 consecutive patients (16 eyes) with Nocardia keratitis were collected from the Department of Ophthalmology at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University between 2018 and 2022. The group consisted of 11 males and 5 females. The inclusion criteria for the study were the presence of typical clinical manifestations of Nocardia keratitis and at least one positive pathogenic test (corneal scraping or microbial culture) indicating Nocardia infection. The medical history, clinical and microbiological examination data of the patients were analyzed, including risk factors, diagnosis time, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, strain isolation, cure time, and best corrected visual acuity before and after treatment. This study utilized techniques such as slit lamp microscopy, in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM), scraping cytology, microbial culture, and mass spectrometry identification. Results: The main risk factors for Nocardia keratitis included plant or foreign body injuries (5 out of 16 cases), contact lens use (4 out of 16 cases), and surgery (2 out of 16 cases). The average time to diagnosis was (20.8±11.8) days, with the shortest time being 8 days and the longest being 60 days. The best corrected visual acuity was less than 0.05 in 7 patients, between 0.05 to 0.3 in 7 patients, and greater than or equal to 0.3 in 2 patients. The typical symptoms included superficial gray-white infiltration in a wreath-like pattern on the cornea, corneal ulcers with dry and gray-white necrotic tissue coverage, and in severe cases, corneal ulcer perforation. Nocardia corneal infection was identified in 12 out of 16 cases by scraping cytology, 9 out of 16 cases by mass spectrometry, and 8 out of 16 cases by both methods. IVCM showed the presence of fine and moderately reflective filamentous hyphae in the subepithelial and superficial stromal layer of the cornea, arranged in elongated, beaded, and branched structures. Infiltration of many hyper-reflective round inflammatory cells was also seen around the hyphae. Fourteen cases were treated with medication and 2 cases were treated with corneal transplantation. The average cure time was (37.5±25.2) days and there were no cases of recurrence during the follow-up period (all greater than 6 months). Conclusions: Nocardia keratitis is primarily characterized by dense, round, or wreath-like infiltration in the early stage, and by gray-white dry necrotic secretion and hypopyon on the surface of corneal ulcers in the middle and late stages. Fine, branched or beaded, and moderately reflective filamentous structures are the hallmark of the corneal lesion on the IVCM images.

We present improved germanium-based constraints on sub-GeV dark matter via dark matter-electron (χ-e) scattering using the 205.4 kg·day dataset from the CDEX-10 experiment. Using a novel calculation technique, we attain predicted χ-e scattering spectra observable in high-purity germanium detectors. In the heavy mediator scenario, our results achieve 3 orders of magnitude of improvement for m_{χ} larger than 80 MeV/c^{2} compared to previous germanium-based χ-e results. We also present the most stringent χ-e cross-section limit to date among experiments using solid-state detectors for m_{χ} larger than 90 MeV/c^{2} with heavy mediators and m_{χ} larger than 100 MeV/c^{2} with electric dipole coupling. The result proves the feasibility and demonstrates the vast potential of a new χ-e detection method with high-purity germanium detectors in ultralow radioactive background.

A search for exotic dark matter (DM) in the sub-GeV mass range has been conducted using 205 kg day data taken from a p-type point contact germanium detector of the CDEX-10 experiment at China's Jinping underground laboratory. New low-mass dark matter searching channels, neutral current fermionic DM absorption (χ+Aâν+A) and DM-nucleus 3â2 scattering (χ+χ+AâÏ+A), have been analyzed with an energy threshold of 160 eVee. No significant signal was found; thus new limits on the DM-nucleon interaction cross section are set for both models at the sub-GeV DM mass region. A cross section limit for the fermionic DM absorption is set to be 2.5×10^{-46} cm^{2} (90% C.L.) at DM mass of 10 MeV/c^{2}. For the DM-nucleus 3â2 scattering scenario, limits are extended to DM mass of 5 and 14 MeV/c^{2} for the massless dark photon and bound DM final state, respectively.

According to literature reports, the injury rate of the athletes in Olympic Winter Games recent years was as high as 10%-14%. Combined with the background of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the medical insurance work of the 24th Olympic Winter Games held in Beijing had put forward more complicated requirements and more severe challenges. In order to better optimize anesthesia management, this article summarized the perioperative treatment of athletes in Olympic Winter Games, the safety protection strategy of medical staff under general anesthesia, and the potential impact of peri-operative drugs on athletes. Anesthesiologists, as the core members of the rescue team, should be familiar with the particularity of operative anesthesia of athletes, sum up relevant experience to ensure the safety of perioperative patients. So all kinds of technical measures should be taken in the process of operation to minimize the indoor pollution caused by the patient's cough. For example, all the patients should wear N95 masks from the ward to the operating room, and after the operation, wear the N95 masks back to the ward. Although the International Olympic Committee had banned more than 200 drugs for participants and athletes who had to strictly follow International Olympic Committee requirements during anesthesia, the athletes were no longer participating in this Olympic Winter Games, so opioids (sufentanil and remifentanil) and glucocorticoid (dexamethasone) could be used according to the actual needs of surgery and anesthesia. Five athletes in Yanqing competition area underwent surgical anesthesia in Peking University Third Hospital Yanqing Hospital. All the five patients received general anesthesia, of whom four underwent orthopaedic surgery and one underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. General anesthesia with laryngeal mask airway was the first choice in the five patients. And the pain after orthopaedic surgery was severe and nerve block technique could effectively relieve the pain after surgery. Three patients received ultrasound-guided nerve block analgesia, the postoperative analgesia lasted 36 h. After the operation, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) was infused intravenously in the ward and all the patients recovered uneventfully. As the core member of the trauma rescue team, anesthesiologists should be familiar with the particularity of the athletes' surgical anesthesia, do a good job in medical security, and summarize relevant experience to ensure the life safety of the perioperative patients.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness and feasibility of dexamethasone combined with oxybuprocaine hydrochloride gel on the prevention of postoperative sore throat after nasal endoscopy. METHODS: In the study, 60 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical statuses â to â ¡, aged 18 to 72 years, scheduled for elective nasal endoscope surgery under general anesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation were randomly divided into dexamethasone combined with oxybuprocaine hydrochloride gel group (G group, n=30) and control group (C group, n=30). The patients in the G group received dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg before induction and the oxybuprocaine gel was applied to the endotracheal catheter cuff and the front end within 15 cm. The patients in the C group received the same dose of saline and the saline was applied to the endotracheal catheter cuff and the front end within 15 cm. Then, all the patients in the two groups received the same induction and anesthesia maintainance. The operation time, anesthesia time, emergence time, extubation time and departure time were recorded. The intraoperative infusion volume, blood loss volume, propofol, remifentanil, rocuronium dosage were also recorded. The adverse reactions such as intraoperative hypotension, bradycardia and postoperative agitation were recorded. The postoperative sore throat score was recorded at the end of operation and 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, and 24 h after operation. RESULTS: Compared with the C group, the emergence time [(8.4±3.9) min vs. (10.8±4.7) min], extubation time [(8.8±3.7) min vs. (11.9±4.8) min], and departure time [(20.0±5.3) min vs. (23.0±5.8) min] were significantly shorter, and the propofol dosage [(11.8±1.8) mg/kg vs. (15.9±4.6) mg/kg], remifentanil dosage [(10.9±4.7) µg/kg vs. (14.1±3.6) µg/kg] were significantly less in the G group, and there was no difference of rocuronium dosage in the two groups. Compared with the C group the incidence of intraoperative hypotension [10%(3/30) vs. 30%(9/30)], bradycardia [16.7%(5/30) vs. 20%(6/30)] and postoperative agitation [6.7%(2/30) vs. 23.3%(7/30)] were significantly lower in the C group. The postoperative sore throat score at the end of operation, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 h after operation in the G group were significantly lower than in the C group respectively [0 (0, 1) vs. 1 (1, 2), 0 (0, 0) vs. 1 (1, 2), 0 (0, 0) vs. 1 (1, 2), 0 (0, 0) vs. 1 (0.75, 1), 0 (0, 0) vs. 1 (0, 1)]. CONCLUSION: Dexamethasone combined with oxybuprocaine hydrochloride gel was effective and feasible on the prevention of postoperative sore throat after nasal endoscopy.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the completion time of endotracheal intubation and laryngeal mask implantation in operating room and on slope of ski resort, and to discuss the optimal method of estab-lishing artificial airway on slope of ski resort. METHODS: The simulator was placed with the head under the feet on slope of ski resort. The artificial airway was established by tracheal intubation assisted by video laryngoscope (endotracheal intubation group) and laryngeal mask placement (laryngeal mask group) respectively by an anesthesiologist who wore full set of ski suits, helmets, goggles, gloves and ski boots. Each method was repeated 5 times, and the operation time of artificial airway establishment was recorded. While the simulated human was placed flat on the operating table in an operating room of a hospital, and the artificial airway was established by the same anesthesiologist using the same methods. Time was recorded and repeated for 5 times. The completion time of endotracheal intubation and laryngeal mask placement in the operating room and on the ski slope were compared. RESULTS: The operating time of tracheal intubation in the operating room was longer than that of laryngeal mask placement [(79.8±10.4) s vs. (53.4±2.7) s, P=0.005], and the operating time of endotracheal intubation on the ski slope was longer than that of laryngeal mask placement [(209.2±32.7) s vs. (72.2±3.1) s, P=0.001]. The time of endotracheal intubation group on the slope of the ski resort was longer than that in the opera-ting room(t=-7.851, P=0.001). The time of laryngeal mask group on the slope was longer than that in the operating room (t=-19.391, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: On ski slope, both of tracheal intubation assisted by video laryngoscope and laryngeal mask placement can quickly complete the establishment of artificial airway, but the time required is longer than that in the operating room. The time of laryngeal mask placement to establish artificial airway is shorter than that of tracheal intubation assisted video laryngoscope, which may have a certain advantage in ski rescue.

Objective: To investigate the case characteristics and factors related with failure of vaginal trial delivery in twin pregnancy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients with twin pregnancy who underwent vaginal trial delivery in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2016 to June 2021. There were 109 cases in the successful group (vaginal delivery of both fetuses) and 28 cases in the failed group (cesarean delivery of one or all fetuses), the differences between the two groups were compared and the related factors of vaginal trial failure in twin pregnancy were analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference in age between the two groups[(32.4±3.8) years vs (31.3±3.3) years, P=0.163].The proportion of conception through assisted reproductive technology and induced labor in the successful group was significantly lower than that in the failed group(36.7% vs 60.7%, P<0.05;35.8% vs 60.7%, P<0.05). The average gestational age [(35.5±1.9) weeks vs (36.7±2.1) weeks, P<0.05], the body weight of the first fetus[ (2 328.4±431.9) g vs (2 585.7±443.9) g, P<0.05], the body weight of the second fetus [(2 286.2±434.8) g vs (2 531.8±574.8) g, P<0.05] and the sum of the body weight of the two fetuses[(4 614.6±801.9) g vs (5 117.5±916.1) g, P<0.05] in the successful group were significantly lower than those of the failure group. Multivariate analysis showed that assisted fertility technique (OR=2.878, 95%CI:1.167-7.099) and the sum of the body weight of the two fetus ≥4 735g (OR=4.304, 95%CI:1.659-11.165) were independent risk factors for vaginal trial failure of twin pregnancy. Conclusions: Vaginal trial delivery in twin pregnancy is relatively safe. Vaginal delivery should be carefully selected for patients with twin pregnancy who concepted through assisted reproductive technology and the sum of the body weight of the two fetus ≥4 735g.

Nine patients identified as hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) in Beijing Anzhen Hopspital who underwent ablation from March to July 2019 were included in the study. All patients had left ventricular outï¬ow tract gradient (LVOTG) over 50 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)with significant symptoms despite not optimal drug therapy. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) was used to reconstruct septum and surrounding structures, and monitor the effect of ablation during procedure. Nine patients with HOCM were included,.of which 6 men and 3 women. The average age was (51.7±12.2) years. All patients underwent successful ablation after a mean of procedural time of (152.2±31.9) minutes and ablation time of (838.4±227.3) seconds. Except for one patients, all other patients had significant LVOTG reduction(P=0.001)within 50 mmHg after the procedure. Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve disappeared in all patients after the procedure without major periprocedural complications. The LVOTG of these patients remained stable during follow-up. Radiofrequency ablation using ICE guidance is feasible in treating HOCM with promising efficacy and safety.

Fluorine is one of the most interesting elements in nuclear astrophysics, where the ^{19}F(p,α)^{16}O reaction is of crucial importance for Galactic ^{19}F abundances and CNO cycle loss in first generation Population III stars. As a day-one campaign at the Jinping Underground Nuclear Astrophysics experimental facility, we report direct measurements of the essential ^{19}F(p,αγ)^{16}O reaction channel. The γ-ray yields were measured over E_{c.m.}=72.4-344 keV, covering the Gamow window; our energy of 72.4 keV is unprecedentedly low, reported here for the first time. The experiment was performed under the extremely low cosmic-ray-induced background environment of the China JinPing Underground Laboratory, one of the deepest underground laboratories in the world. The present low-energy S factors deviate significantly from previous theoretical predictions, and the uncertainties are significantly reduced. The thermonuclear ^{19}F(p,αγ)^{16}O reaction rate has been determined directly at the relevant astrophysical energies.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The key point of anesthesia management in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is to maintain adequate cerebral perfusion during carotid artery occlusion. Placement of shunt is one of the common surgical methods. This study analyzed the effects of different shunt strategies on cerebral infarction after carotid endarterectomy. METHODS: A total of 443 patients who underwent CEA under general anesthesia within 2 years were divided into imaging group (based on preoperative imaging data as the basis for shunt) and stump pressure group (based on intraoperative stump pressure as the basis for shunt). The preoperative demographic data, past medical history, degree of cervical vascular stenosis, blood pressure at each time point during the perioperative period, vascular blocking time, whether to place the shunt, postoperative hospital stay, cerebral infarction during hospitalization, and other adverse events were collected and compared between the two groups. On this basis, the preoperative and intraoperative conditions with significant differences were matched with propensity scores, and the influence of different shunt strategies on postoperative cerebral infarction was analyzed. RESULTS: In the study, 268 patients in the imaging group and 175 patients in the stump pressure group underwent CEA under general anesthesia. There were statistically significant differences in basic conditions and blood pressure at each time point between the two groups. After matching the propensity scores, 105 patients in each of the two groups were matched. The basic conditions of the patients before surgery and the difference in blood pressure of the two groups at each time point were not statistically significant. There was no significant diffe-rence in the incidence of postoperative cerebral infarction between the two groups (1.9% vs. 1.0%, P>0.999). The intraoperative shunt rate in the imaging group was lower than that in the stump pressure group (0 vs. 22.9%, P < 0.001). The postoperative hospital stay in the imaging group was 8 (7, 8) days, which was longer than the stump pressure group 5 (4, 6) days (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The rate of the shunt was lower according to preoperative imaging examination than that according to the residual pressure in our hospital. There is no significant difference in the incidence of cerebral infarction during the postoperative hospital stay. The effect of different shunt strategies on cerebral infarction needs further study.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of adnexal torsion at different gestational weeks during pregnancy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical data of 24 pregnancy patients with adnexal torsion, aged 21-38 (30.6±4.4) years old, who were admitted and delivered in Peking University Third Hospital from 2015 to 2019. According to the gestational age, all patients were divided into two groups:<28 weeks group (11cases) and ≥28 weeks group (13 cases), to compare the intergroup differences in clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome, and the differences of clinical data and outcome between two groups were compared. Results: The proportion of patients with twin pregnancy and assisted reproductive technology in the<28 weeks group was significantly higher than that in the ≥28 weeks group (5/11 vs 1/13, 8/11 vs 1/13, P<0.05). No significant differences between the two groups were recorded in terms of the size of the adnexal mass, the cycles of torsion and the duration from onset to operation. Compared with the≥28 weeks group, the adnexal removal rate of the<28 weeks group was lower (3/11 vs 6/13), but the difference was not statistically significant. The proportion of blood flow signals of ultrasound before operation, cases undergoing laparoscopic surgery and cases whose pathological findings were physiological cysts in the<28 weeks group were significantly higher than that in the ≥28 weeks group (8/11 vs 4/13, 8/11 vs 0, 8/11vs 4/13; P<0.05). Concerning the pregnancy outcomes, there was no difference in the mode of delivery, the delivery gestational age and the body weight of newborns between the two groups. Conclusions: The patients with adnexal torsion prior to 28 weeks(<28 weeks)of pregnancy were more likely to be conceived by assisted reproductive technologies, and the etiology was more likely to be ovarian physiological cysts. Both laparoscopy and laparotomy were safe and effective in the treatment of adnexal torsion with good outcome for mother and infant in the study.
