    Abstract Ketamine (KET) and isoflurane (ISO) are two widely used general anesthetics, yet their distinct and shared neurophysiological mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the effects of KET and ISO on c-Fos expression across the mouse brain, utilizing hierarchical clustering and c-Fos-based functional network analysis to evaluate the responses of individual brain regions to each anesthetic. Our findings reveal that KET activates a wide range of brain regions, notably in the cortical and subcortical nuclei involved in sensory, motor, emotional, and reward processing, with the temporal association areas (TEa) as a strong hub, suggesting a top-down mechanism affecting consciousness by primarily targeting higher order cortical networks. In contrast, ISO predominantly influences brain regions in the hypothalamus, impacting neuroendocrine control, autonomic function, and homeostasis, with the locus coeruleus (LC) as a connector hub, indicating a bottom-up mechanism in anesthetic-induced unconsciousness. KET and ISO both activate brain areas involved in sensory processing, memory and cognition, reward and motivation, as well as autonomic and homeostatic control, highlighting their shared effects on various neural pathways. In conclusion, our results highlight the distinct but overlapping effects of KET and ISO, enriching our understanding of the mechanisms underlying general anesthesia.

    Abstract Background: While cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) have been extensively described, few reports have described the imaging appearance of giant CCMs (GCCMs).
    Objective: To describe the imaging characteristics of GCCMs and study the reasons for preoperative misdiagnosis.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 12 patients (5 men, 7 women; mean age, 35.23 ± 12.64 years) with histopathologically confirmed GCCMs. Two radiologists analyzed the CT (n = 12) and MRI (n = 10) features: location, number, size, shape, boundary, signal intensity, and enhancement.
    Results: The sellar region, cerebral hemisphere, skull bone, and ventricle were involved in 5, 4, 2, and 1 patients, respectively. Three tumors were irregularly shaped, while nine were oval. Eleven lesions showed slightly high- and/or high-density on CT; 1 lesion appeared as a low-density cyst. Calcifications were found in 11 lesions. Four tumors showed uniform hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and hyperintense signals on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI). Six tumors showed mixed low-, equal-, and high-intensity signals on T1WI and T2WI. Noticeable contrast enhancement and gradual strengthening were noted on T1WI. Ten lesions showed hemorrhage and hemosiderin deposition. The GCCMs were wrongly diagnosed as cartilage-derived tumors/ meningioma (3 patients); tumor and hematoma (2 patients each); and pituitary tumor/ meningioma, chondroma, chordoma, ependymoma, and macroadenoma (1 patient each).
    Conclusions: GCCMs present as an oval mass with slightly high- and/or high-density calcifications on CT and show hemorrhage and hemosiderin accumulation on MRI. Therefore, slightly high- and/or high-density calcification and hemosiderin accumulation are critical clinical characteristics of GCCMs.

    Abstract The poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based composite solid-state electrolyte (CSE) has garnered attention due to its excellent comprehensive performance. However, challenges persist in the structural design and preparation process of the ceramic-filled CSE, as the PVDF-based matrix is susceptible to alkaline conditions and dehydrofluorination, leading to its incompatibility with ceramic fillers and hindering the preparation of solid-state electrolytes. In this study, the mechanism of dehydrofluorination failure of a PVDF-based polymer in the presence of Li

    Abstract Nanomechanical sensors made from suspended graphene are sensitive to pressure changes. However, these devices typically function by obtaining an electrical signal based on the static displacement of a suspended graphene membrane and so, in practice, have limited sensitivity and operational range. The present work demonstrates an optomechanical Au/graphene membrane-based gas pressure sensor with ultrahigh sensitivity. This sensor comprises a suspended Au/graphene membrane appended to a section of hollow-core fiber to form a sealed Fabry-Pérot cavity. In contrast to conventional nanomechanical pressure sensors, pressure changes are monitored via resonant sensing with an optical readout. A miniature pressure sensor based on this principle was able to detect an ultrasmall pressure difference of 1 × 10

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine what variables contribute to the early death of elderly colorectal cancer patients (ECRC) and to generate predictive nomograms for this population.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis included elderly individuals (≥75 years old) diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) from 2010-2015 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result databases (SEER) databases. The external validation was conducted using a sample of the Chinese population obtained from the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University. Logistic regression analyses were used to ascertain variables associated with early death and to develop nomograms. The nomograms were internally and externally validated with the help of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
    Results: The SEER cohort consisted of 28,111 individuals, while the Chinese cohort contained 315 cases. Logistic regression analyses shown that race, marital status, tumor size, Grade, T stage, N stage, M stage, brain metastasis, liver metastasis, bone metastasis, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy were independent prognostic factors for all-cause and cancer-specific early death in ECRC patients; The variable of sex was only related to an increased risk of all-cause early death, whereas the factor of insurance status was solely associated with an increased risk of cancer-specific early death. Subsequently, two nomograms were devised to estimate the likelihood of all-cause and cancer-specific early death among individuals with ECRC. The nomograms exhibited robust predictive accuracy for predicting early death of ECRC patients, as evidenced by both internal and external validation.
    Conclusion: We developed two easy-to-use nomograms to predicting the likelihood of early death in ECRC patients, which would contribute significantly to the improvement of clinical decision-making and the formulation of personalized treatment approaches for this particular population.

A total of 50 children aged between 2 and 12 years who are undergoing elective brain tumor surgery will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 0.2% ropivacaine for SNB (group SNB, intervention group, n = 25) or the same volume of saline (group Ctrl, control group, n = 25). The primary outcome was to assess the score of postoperative pain intensity at time 1, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h postoperatively using the FLACC score method. Secondary outcomes were to record intraoperative hemodynamic variables (MAP and HR) during skull-pin fixation, skin incision and end of skin closure, intraoperative total consumption of remifentanil and propofol, postoperative opioid consumption, and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.ResultsFifty patients were analyzed (n = 25 in SNB group; n = 25 in control group). Compared to the control group, postoperative pain intensity was significantly relieved in the SNB group up to 8 h post-operatively. In addition, SNB provided good intraoperative hemodynamic stability, reduced intraoperative overall propofol and remifentanil consumption rate, and postoperative fentanyl consumption compared to the control group. However, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was not different between SNB and the control group.ConclusionsIn pediatric craniotomies, SNB with 0.2% ropivacaine provides adequate postoperative pain control and good intraoperative hemodynamic stability during noxious events compared to the control group.Clinical trial ...
