Elderly patients may require anesthesia during medical treatment, and considering the relatively high surgical risk of elderly patients, comprehensive consideration must be given to the selection of anesthesia and the use of anesthetic drugs. Induction of general anesthesia is a process in which patients undergo reversible drug inhibition from a physiological state to a surgically operable anesthesia state within a short period of time, but tracheal intubation and anesthesia inhibition can trigger cardiovascular reactions, especially in elderly patients with poor circulatory function, which can lead to hemodynamic fluctuations and affect the stability of circulatory function. As elderly patients age, their organ function decreases, and their reserve function deficiency under anesthetic stress can increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. The hemodynamic fluctuations of patients during the induction period of general anesthesia are large, and it is important to reduce the hemodynamic fluctuations and maintain the stability of circulatory function to improve the safety of surgery. At present, the commonly used methods for induction of general anesthesia include manual intravenous push, target-controlled infusion and constant-rate infusion by infusion pump, and the commonly used drugs for induction of general anesthesia include intravenous sedative anesthetics, intravenous analgesics, muscle relaxants and inhaled anesthetics. Based on this paper, we analyze the effects of general anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, lumbar anesthesia, and epidural anesthesia in the application of surgery in elderly patients and general anesthesia induction in the circulatory stability of elderly patients for a review, in order to more accurately and better guide further clinical anesthesia research.","PeriodicalId":72751,"journal":{"name":"Current research in medical sciences","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134994349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze the factors influencing college students’ self-medication with antibacterial agents and provide relevant reference data for the rational use of antibacterial agents for self-medication among college students. Methods: Non-probability sampling methods, including convenience sampling and quota sampling, were employed to collect data samples. College students were invited to participate in an online questionnaire survey that they completed independently, and the data were entered into Excel software for statistical analysis using SPSS 26.0 software. Results: Independent samples t-test and analysis of variance revealed that, before the lifting of pandemic restrictions, female college students scored higher than male students in KAP towards self-medication with antibacterial agents, with all differences being statistically significant (P<0.05). However, after the lifting of pandemic restrictions, the gender differences in these aspects diminished; College students from rural areas scored significantly higher than their urban counterparts in the knowledge of antibacterial agents both before and after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions (P<0.05); Moreover, medical students had significantly higher attitude scores compared to science and engineering students before the lifting of pandemic restrictions (P<0.05), while social science students scored significantly higher in practice compared to science and engineering students both before and after the lifting of pandemic restrictions (P<0.05). Paired samples t-test indicated a significant improvement in knowledge and practice towards self-medication with antibacterial agents after the lifting of pandemic restrictions, with attitude showing no significant change. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that, before the pandemic, there were significant differences in KAP based on gender and grade. However, after experiencing the pandemic, there were no longer significant differences in KAP among different genders and different grades, and this could be attributed to the impact of health education and campaigns during the pandemic. Conclusion: The lifting of COVID-19 restrictions has had a positive impact on college students’ knowledge and practice towards self-medication with antibacterial agents. Before and after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, the KAP of college students regarding self-medication with antibacterial agents were influenced by multiple factors. One important measure to enhance the rational use of antibacterial agents for self-medication among college students is to conduct health education courses in universities.

This project aims to employ the Bibliometrics method to comprehensively understand the research status of selenium and bone between 1980 and 2023. By utilizing visualizations to identify research hotspots and trends, we strive to shed light on the current state of knowledge in this field. Methods: Relevant articles on the topic of selenium and bone were retrieved from the Network Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Statistical and visual analysis was conducted using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. This analysis encompassed various aspects, including annual publication output, active countries, prolific institutions, authors, and keyword analysis. Results: A total of 864 relevant articles were retrieved for analysis, comprising 746 articles and 118 reviews. The number of publications in the field of selenium and bone has demonstrated a consistent upward trend over time. Notably, China emerged as the leading contributor in terms of publication output, with 195 articles, followed closely by the United States with 177 articles, and Germany with 50 articles. Among the institutions, Huazhong University of Science and Technology stood out as a core institution, while K. Sandeep Prabhu emerged as a prominent core author. The analysis of keyword frequency revealed the most frequently occurring terms in the publications. Selenium, with a count of 415, topped the list, followed by Bone (101), oxidative stress (91), zinc (87), osteoporosis (70), metabolism (66), copper (63), toxicity (62), supplementation (57), and nanoparticles (55). Notably, the emergence of Selenium nanoparticles and Scaffolds indicates novel research trends within the field. Conclusions: The research demonstrates an increasing number of publications focusing on the association between selenium and bone health in recent years, with China leading in terms of article output.

Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on the correlation between contrast-enhanced ultrasound images of 92 patients with invasive breast cancer of no special type confirmed by pathology in our hospital and the expression of HER2 and Ki67, including 64 cases in the HER2 negative group and 28 cases in the positive group. Ki67 expression was low in 14 cases and high in 78 cases.
