ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative widespread pain and chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods:Two hundred American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients with knee osteoarthritis, aged 40-70 yr, undergoing elective the first unilateral primary TKA under general anesthesia, were enrolled.The widespread pain index, visual analogue scale score, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Central Sensitization Inventory scores were recorded at 1 day before surgery.The patients were divided into CPSP-positive group and CPSP-negative group according to visual analogue scale score at 6 months after surgery.Risk factors for CPSP were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:The results of logistic regression analysis showed that increased preoperative widespread pain index score, Central Sensitization Inventory score and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score and female were risk factors for CPSP after TKA.Conclusions:Preoperative widespread pain is a risk factor for CPSP following TKA in the patients with knee osteoarthritis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of parecoxib sodium on phenotypic transformation of alveolar macrophages in a mouse model of ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI).Methods:Forty-five SPF healthy adult male C57BL/6J mice, weighing 22-30 g, aged 8-12 weeks, were divided into 3 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), VALI group (V group) and parecoxib sodium group (P group). Lipopolysaccharide 20 ng was intraperitoneally injected, and 2 h later the animals were mechanically ventilated (tidal volume 30 ml/kg, respiratory rate 70 breaths/min, inspiratory/expiratory ratio 1∶2, fraction of inspired oxygen 21%, positive end-expiratory pressure 0) for 4 h to establish the model of VALI.Parecoxib sodium 30 mg/kg was intravenously injected at 1 h prior to mechanical ventilation in group P. The mice were sacrificed at 4 h of ventilation, the right lung was lavaged and the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for determination of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase-1(Arg-1) in BALF and expression of phosphorylated Janus kinase 2 (p-JAK2) and phosphorylated signal transduction and transcription activator 3 (p-STAT-3) (by Western blot). The left lung was removed for determination of the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio) and for examination of the pathological changes which were scored. Results:Compared with group S, the lung injury score, W/D ratio, concentrations of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in BALF, and expression of iNOS, Arg-1, p-JAK2 and p-STAT-3 were significantly increased in V and P groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group V, the concentration of IL-10 in BALF and expression of Arg-1, p-JAK2 and p-STAT-3 were significantly increased, and the lung injury score, W/D ratio, concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α in BALF and expression of iNOS were decreased in group P ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Parecoxib sodium promotes phenotypic transformation of alveolar macrophages from M1 subtype to M2 subtype and inhibits inflammatory responses, thus alleviating VALI, which may be related to activating JAK2/STAT-3 signaling pathway in mice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of flurbiprofcn axetil combined with lung-protective ventilation on postoperative cellular immune function in the patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer.Methods Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,with no abnormal lung function during the preoperative examination,aged 35-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m2,scheduled for elective thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer under general anesthesia,were divided into 4 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table method:conventional mechanical ventilation group (group C),flurbiprofen axetil combined with conventional mechanical ventilation group (group F+C),lung-protective ventilation group (group P) and flurbiprofen axetil combined with lung-protective ventilation group (group F+P).Flurbiprofen axetil 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected at 5 min before induction of anaesthesia in F+C and F+P groups.Patients were mechanically ventilated in volume-controlled mode in four groups.Conventional ventilator settings were adjusted with tidal volume (VT) 10 ml/kg and respiratory rate 10-20 breaths/min during two-lung ventilation and with VT 8 ml/kg and respiratory rate 13-16 breaths/min during one-lung ventilation.Lung-protective ventilator settings were adjusted with VT 8 ml/kg and respiratory rate 12-14 breaths/min during two-lung ventilation and with positive end-expiratory pressure 5 cmH2O,VT 6 ml/kg and respiratory rate 14-16 breaths/min during onelung ventilation.All patients received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) at the end of surgery until 24 h after surgery.PCIA solution contained sufentanil 100 μg and ondansetron 16 mg in 100 ml of normal saline in group C and group P.PCIA solution contained sufentanil 100 μg,flurbiprofen axetil 2 mg/kg and ondansetron 16 mg in 100 ml of normal saline in group F+C and group F+P.The PCIA pump was set up with a 0.5 ml bolus dose,a 15-min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 2 ml/h.Visual analog scale score was maintained ≤3.When visual analog scale score ＞3,tramadol 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected.Before induction of anesthesia (T0),at the end of surgery (T1),at 24 and 72 h after surgery (T2,3) and at 1 week after surgery (T4),blood samples were collected from the central vein for measurement of the levels of T lymphocyte subsets CD3+,CD4+,CD8+ and NK cells.The CD4+/CD8+ ratio was calculated.Results Compared with the baseline at T0,the levels of CD3+,CD4+ and NK cells and CD4+/CD8+ratio were significantly decreased at T1-3 in C,F+C and P groups and at T1,2 in group F+P (P＜0.05).Compared with group C,the levels of CD3+,CD4+ and NK cells and CD4+/CD8+ratio were significantly increased at T1-3 in the other three groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group F+C or group P,the levels of CD3+,CD4+ and NK cells and CD4+/CD8+ratio were significantly increased at T1-3 in group F+ P (P＜0.05).Conclusion Flurbiprofen axetil combined with lung-protective ventilation improves postoperative cellular immune function and provides better efficacy than either alone in the patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the lung protective ventilation strategy on immune function in patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer.Methods Sixty patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer, 47 males and 13 females, aged 35-64 years, BMI 18-29 kg/m2, falling into ASA physical statusⅠ orⅡ, were randomly divided into 2 groups with 30 cases in each:conventional mechanical ventilation (group C), protective mechanical ventilation group (group P).Volume-controlled ventilation was performed in the 2 groups.Protective mechanical ventilation mode was setted up as follows:tidal volume (VT) 8 ml/kg and respiratory rate (RR) 12-14 breaths/min during two-lung ventilation (TLV) ;VT 6 ml/kg, PEEP 5 cm H2O and RR 14-16 breaths/min during one-lung ventilation (OLV).Before induction of anesthesia (T0), at the end of surgery (T1), 24 hafter surgery (T2), 72 hafter surgery (T3), blood samples were taken from the central venous for determination of peripheral T lymphocyte subsets CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cell.The CD4+/CD8+ratio was also calculated.Results Compared with T0, the percentage of CD3+, CD4+, NK cell and the CD4+/CD8+ratio was significantly decreased at T1 and T2 in both groups (P<0.05).Compared with group P, the percentage of CD3+, CD4+, NK cell and the CD4+/CD8+ratio was significantly lower in the group C at T1 and T2 (P<0.05).Compared with T0, there was no significant difference at T3 with respect of the percentage of CD3+, CD4+, NK cell and the CD4+/CD8+ratio in the group P while those parameters still lower at T3 in the group C (P<0.05).Conclusion Perioperative use of lung protective ventilation strategy could not only alleviate the immune suppression but also make the immune function recover faster in patients undergoing thoracoscopic elective radical resection of lung cancer.
ABSTRACT
A method for determination of PCDD/Fs, PCBs and PCNs in soil sample was developed by using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE)-silica gel column cleanup-basic alumina column separation coupled with GC-MS/MS.The sample was extracted by ASE with Hexane-methylene chloride (Hex-DCM, 50∶50, V/V) at 120℃.The basic alumina column was used to separate PCDD/Fs, PCBs and PCNs.The extracts were eluted with Hex-DCM (95∶5, V/V) to obtain PCBs and PCNs, followed by Hex-DCM (50∶50, V/V) to obtain PCDD/Fs.The limits of detection (LOD) were in the range of 0.04-0.25 μg/L, 0.10-0.20 μg/L and 0.01-0.05 μg/L for PCDD/Fs, PCBs, PCNs, respectively.The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of average relative response factors (RRF) were below 13%.The recoveries of 13C-labeled internal standards of the three classes of analytes were 50%-95%, 51%-103% and 49%-74%, respectively.Concentrations of ∑PCDD/Fs, ∑PCBs and ∑PCNs in soil samples were 16.1-1148 pg/g, 6.6-152.6 pg/g and 10.9-99.5 pg/g, respectively.The results were consistent with that of high resolution mass spectrometer.
