ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine on prevention of emergence agitation in adult patients during recovery period after abdomen surgery.Methods 1 20 ASA I -II patients scheduled for elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into three groups:dexmedetomidine group (group A),midazolam group (group B)and the saline control group (group C),40 cases in each group.40min before the end of surgery,dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/kg was continued intravenous infusion 1 0min in group A,midazo-lam 30μg/kg and 1 mL physiological saline were respectively intravenously injected in group B and group C.The post-operative recovery room (PACU)of restlessness,sedation,blood pressure,SpO2 and extubation time were observed. Results In of midazolam group,the time of anesthesia recovery[(1 8.2 ±1 .9)min],extubation[(32.1 ±3.9)min] and PACU staying[(48.7 ±3.1 )min]were significantly longer compared with the dexmedetomidine group[(1 3.1 ± 2.4)min,(26.5 ±2.2)min and (39.8 ±3.4)min,P =0.023,0.040 and 0.003]and the saline group[(1 2.6 ± 2.3)min,(24.8 ±2.9)min and (38.6 ±4.3)min,P =0.01 7,P =0.023 and P =0.001〗.The postoperative seda-tion scores of dexmedetomidine [(2.3 ±0.2 )points,P =0.025 ]and midazolam group [(2.4 ±0.1 )points,P =0.020]were significantly higher than the saline control group[(1 .1 ±0.5)points].The postoperative agitation score of dexmedetomidine (1 .3 ±0.5)points was lower than midazolam group [(2.5 ±0.5)points,P =0.01 1 ]and the saline control group[(2.4 ±0.6)points,P =0.020].HR and MAP of three groups at 2 min before extubation were observed,in the immediate extubation and at 5 min after extubation,the HR of dexmedetomidine group[(62.7 ± 4.1 )times/min,(67.3 ±3.4)times/min and (63.2 ±4.3)times/min]was significantly delayer than midazolam group [(72.3 ±3.4)times/min,(84.9 ±5.3)times/min and (82.1 ±3.1 )times/min],(P =0.002,P =0.001 and P =0.001 )and the saline control group [(73.6 ±2.9 )times/min,(85.3 ±4.7 )times/min and (83.3 ± 4.5)times/min],(P =0.001 ,P =0.023 and P =0.038)at the three time.In the immediate extubation,the MAP of patients in dexmedetomidine group[(87.3 ±4.2)mmHg)]was lower than midazolam group[(93.1 ±4.3)mmHg, P =0.001 ]and the saline control group[(95.6 ±5.8)mmHg,P =0.001 ].At 5 min after extubation,the MAP of patients in both of dexmedetomidine[(84.5 ±3.1 )mmHg)]and midazolam[(85.1 ±2.9)mmHg]group were lower than that in the saline control group[(92.3 ±4.6)mmHg,P =0.023 and P =0.038〗.Conclusion Dexmedetomi-dine could be one of the ideal drug to relieve emergence agitation in adult patients during recovery period after abdo-men surgery and the curative effect is better than midazolam.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrogen-rich saline on the regulatory T cells (Tregs ) in the peripheral blood during global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R ) in rats .Methods Seventy-seven male Sprague-Dawley rats ,aged 2-3 months ,weighing 260-300 g ,were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number table:sham operation group (group S , n=11) ,group I/R (n=33) ,and hydrogen-rich saline group (group H , n=33 ) .Global cerebral I/R was produced by 4-vessel occlusion method .The bilateral carotid arteries were blocked for 15 min followed by reperfusion in I/R and H groups .In group H ,0.6 mmol/L hydrogen-rich saline 5 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 0 and 6 h of reperfusion ,while the equal volume of normal saline was injected instead in the other two groups .Before ischemia (T0 ) in group S and at 6 ,24 and 72 h of reperfusion (T1-3 ) in I/R and H groups ,7 rats were chosen ,the blood samples from the peripheral vein were collected for determination of the number of Tregs . Then the animals were sacrificed and the spleen was removed for measurement of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) content .The left 4 rats of each group were sacrificed at T0 and T1-3 and the brains were obtained for examination of the pyramidal cell morphology in the hippocampal CA 1 region and for determination of the number of pyramidal cells in brain tissues .Results Compared with group S , the number of pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA1 region ,the number of Tregs in the peripheral blood and content of TGF-β1 in the spleen were significantly decreased at T1-3 in group I/R ( P<0.05) .Compared with group I/R ,the number of pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA 1 region and the number of Tregs in the peripheral blood at T2-3 ,and the content of TGF-β1 in the spleen at T1-3 were significantly increased ( P<0.05) ,and the pathological changes of pyramidal cells were attenuated in group H .Conclusion The mechanism by which hydrogen-rich saline attenuates global cerebral I/R injury may be related to the increased number of Tregs in peripheral blood and promoted secretion of TGF-β1 in rats .
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) in Taixing city,Jiangsu province.Methods A populationbased case-control study was carried out to collect data including demography,socioeconomic status indicators and possible risk factors.Unconditional logistic regression was used to compare different SES indicators and composite wealth scores constructed between cases and controls,using the principal component analysis methodology.Results Factors as:having received high school or higher education (OR=0.66,95％CI:0.46-0.96),living space over 67 m2 per-capita (OR=0.71,95％CI:0.54-0.94),drinking tap water longer than 5 years (OR=0.76,95％ CI:0.59-0.98) and wealth score ＞0.93 (OR=0.63,95％CI:0.48-0.83) were associated with increased risk of ESCC.Compared to those worked in farming,forestry,animal husbandry,fishery and water conservancy,the individuals who worked in business-service industry were at lower risk of ESCC (OR =0.65,95％CI:0.43-0.97).Conclusion An inverse association of low SES and ESCC were found in Taixing people that called for further explanation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the cardiovascular effects of sufentanyl and fentanyl as combined with propofol in anesthesia during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods:Patients undergoing LC were randomly divided into two groups: 60 patients in the Sufentanyl group(group S,0.3 ?g/kg) and 53 patients in the Fentanyl group(group F,3 ?g/kg).The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),cardiac output(CO),and cardiac index(CI) were recorded before induction,before pneumoperitoneum,after pneumoperitoneum and at the end of operation.Results:There was no difference in MAP,HR,CO or CI between the two groups before induction.The values of HR and CO increased significantly in group F after preumoperitoneum comparing with the values before preumoperitoneum(P
ABSTRACT
Esophageal cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.A single intraoperative intervention is unlikely to benefit the outcome.A multimodal management plan that includes the use of TEA seems to demonstrate improved results in high-volume centers.Anesthetic management may contribute to the containment of pulmonary morbidity and anastomotic leakage by the use of TEA,protective ventilation strategies during OLV,prevention of tracheal aspiration,and judicious fluid management.
