Aims: This study aimed to investigate whether the histone deacetylase HDAC4 inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA), could reverse resistance to non-depolarizing muscle relaxants (NDMRs) caused by burn injuries.
Materials And Methods: A rat burn injury model was established, in which TSA was administered to inhibit HDAC4 expression. The potency of rocuronium was assessed through tension tests, and the levels of HDAC4 and myogenin proteins were determined using Western blot.

Background: Video-based error correction (VBEC) in medical education could offer immediate feedback, promote enhanced learning retention, and foster reflective practice. However, its application in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training has not been investigated.
Objective: The objective of this study is to assess whether the VBEC procedure could improve the training performance of CPR among anesthesiology residents.
Background: The positive roles of deep muscle relaxation in abdominal surgeries and transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) in the postoperative analgesia. This study aimed to discuss the effects of TAPB on abdominal muscle relaxation, the intraoperative diaphragmatic, and the respiratory functions.
Methods: The patients were randomly divided into the TAPB group who received single-shot TAPB bilaterally (n=30), and the control group who did not receive TAPB (n=30).
