Abstract
AIMS To compare anaesthesia-related outcomes between patients monitored by newly recruited nurse anaesthetists and those monitored by newly recruited anaesthesiologists. DESIGN This was a retrospective study. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study that collected demographic information on newly recruited nurse anaesthetists and anaesthesiologists between 2017 and 2022 and recorded information on patients within 6 months of monitoring. Postoperative pain, emergency agitation, nausea, and vomiting were designated anaesthesia-related outcomes. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for covariates. The study adhered to the STROBE guidelines. RESULTS The study's statistical analysis included 4483 patients monitored by 22 newly recruited nurse anaesthetists and 4959 patients monitored by 23 newly recruited anaesthesiologists. Compared with patients monitored by newly trained anaesthesiologists, the patients monitored by nurse anaesthetists were younger (42.07 ± 20.00 vs. 47.39 ± 18.45 years, p < 0.001) and had a lower body mass index (23.56 ± 4.46 vs. 24.19 ± 4.25, p < 0.001). Patients monitored by anaesthesiologists had a greater proportion of women (61.62% vs. 59.25%, p < 0.001), a high proportion of ASA III and ASA IV (17.1% vs. 8.88%, p < 0.001), and a longer mean surgery duration (78.65 ± 59.01 vs. 70.70 ± 60.65 min, p < 0.001). After propensity score matching was used to adjust for covariates, no statistically significant differences were found in the prevalence of postoperative pain, emergency agitation, or postoperative nausea and vomiting between the two groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Nurse anaesthetists monitoring alone during anaesthesia maintenance is feasible and safe. The two groups had no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative pain, emergency agitation, or postoperative nausea and vomiting. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The shortage of anaesthesiologists leads to heavy work burden and high incidence of occupational burnout among anaesthesiologists. The study found that it was safe for nurse anaesthetists to perform anaesthetic monitoring alone in the operating room under the supervision of the attending anaesthesiologist and did reduce the burden of anaesthesiologists' work. The results of the current study contribute to the expansion of occupational categories for nurse anaesthetists in countries where anaesthesiologists are in short supply. It provides new ideas for hospital administrators and policy-makers to formulate medical and nursing service policies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The common complications of transnasal endoscopic pituitary adenomas resection include nasal hemorrhage, olfactory disorder, nasal adhesion, and intracranial infection. Consequently, the protection of nasal mucosa and the prevention of surgical field contamination are critical. METHOD We presented a step-by-step description of the methods of the disinfection and protection of nasal mucosa and the prevention of surgical field contamination during transnasal endoscopic pituitary adenomas resection, and these comprehensive measures to prevent these complications have not been documented. CONCLUSION These measures effectively reduce the risk of nasal mucosal injury and surgical field contamination, and are easy to perform.

Abstract
Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is the key subunit of methyltransferase complex responsible for catalyzing N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification on mRNA, which is the most prevalent post-transcriptional modification in eukaryotes. In this study, we utilized online databases to analyze the association between METTL3 expression and various aspects of tumorigenesis, including gene methylation, immunity, and prognosis. Our investigation revealed that METTL3 serves as a prognostic marker and therapeutic target for liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC). Through experimental studies, we observed frequent upregulation of METTL3 in LIHC tumor tissue and cells. Subsequent inhibition of METTL3 using a novel small molecule inhibitor, STM2457, significantly impeded tumor growth in LIHC cell lines, spheroids, and xenograft tumor model. Further, transcriptome and m6A sequencing of xenograft bodies unveiled that inhibition of METTL3-m6A altered genes enriched in SMAD and MAPK signaling pathways that are critical for tumorigenesis. These findings suggest that targeting METTL3 represents a promising therapeutic strategy for LIHC.

Abstract
Purpose We designed this study to investigate the potential correlations between gut microbiota compositions and hepatic metabolomic disorders in mice with methotrexate (MTX)-induced hepatoxicity. Methods We used MTX to induce hepatoxicity in healthy Kunming mice, and we determined plasma ALT and AST levels and assessed the liver tissue histopathology. We applied an integrated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing approach to evaluate the effects of MTX on the gut microbiota and hepatic metabolic profiles of mice. We uncovered correlations between the gut microbiota and hepatic metabolomic profiles by calculating the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results MTX caused ALT and AST level elevations and hepatoxicity in our mouse model. MTX disrupted amino acid metabolic pathways (including biosyntheses of valine, leucine, and isoleucine; and arginine; and, metabolism of alanine, aspartate, and glutamate; histidine; beta-alanine; and glycine, serine, and threonine); biosyntheses of aminoacyl-tRNA; and pantothenate, and CoA; and, metabolic pathways of energy, glutathione, and porphyrin; and chlorophyll. In addition, MTX increased the abundances of Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Collinsella, Streptococcus, and Aerococcus, but decreased the amounts of Lactobacillus, Ruminococcus, norank_f_Muribaculaceae, unclassified_f_Lachnospiraceae, norank_f_Lachnospiraceae, A2, Eubacterium_xylanophilum_group, Phascolarctobacterium, Bifidobacterium, and Faecalibaculum. Our correlation analyses showed that different flora abundance changes including those of Phascolarctobacterium, Faecalibaculum, norank_f_Muribaculaceae, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, and Collinsella were associated with liver injury. Conclusion We present evidence supporting the notion that MTX causes hepatoxicity by altering the gut microbiota and hepatic metabolite profiles, our findings provide new venues for the management of MTX-induced hepatoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In China, there is no unified standard for the responsibilities and authority of nurse anesthetists, resulting in different professional expectations from anesthesiologists and nursing managers, which may result in high levels of role stress and burnout in nurse anesthetists. Additional factors such as high occupational risk and heavy work may also contribute to role stress and burnout. METHODS In this multicenter cross-sectional study, an online questionnaire survey was conducted among 198 nurses from six tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province. The t test, analysis of variance, linear regression, and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors for role stress and professional burnout. RESULTS The scores of role conflict and role ambiguity in role stress were 30.61 ± 9.53 and 31.89 ± 9.56, respectively; satisfaction with income and the working environment, the hospital's attention, years of experience as a nurse, clarity concerning the nurse anesthetist's occupational scope, and attitude to career prospects were independent risk factors for role stress. The burnout data were non-normally distributed and were expressed as medians and quartiles. The scores of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal achievement in professional burnout were 30 (26-34), 11 (8-14), and 23 (20-26) respectively. The number of working hours per week, attitude to career prospects, satisfaction with the working environment and income, physical health, gender, and education were independent risk factors for burnout. CONCLUSIONS Chinese nurse anesthetists were found to be in danger of high role stress and professional burnout, a situation requiring the attention of managers.
