ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effect of dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol to prevent the adverse effects of carboprost tromethamine druing cesarean delivery.Methods Ninety parturients with the risk factor of uterine atony,aged 24-40 years,weighting 55-85 kg,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing full term cesarean section,were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol group (group DB,n=30),butorphanol group (group B,n=30)and control group (group N,n=30).Three groups were intravenously injected corresponding drugs of carboprost tromethamine into uterus.Group DB was given intravenous injection dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg combined with butorphanol 20 mg/kg.Group B was given butorphanol 20 mg/kg.Group N was given 0.9% sodium chloride solution.MAP,HR,and SpO2were recorded at different times,10 min after go into operation room (T0),10 min after carboprost tromethamine into uterus (T1),end of operation (T2).Ramsay sedation score was recorded at T1.The adverse effects of carboprost tromethamine were recorded.The initial time of lactation after operation was recorded.The initial time of lactation after operation,the height of uterine fundus at 1,3,5 d after operation,the oxyto-cin doses within 72 h after operation were recorded.Results Compared with group N,the MAP and HR of group DB and group B decreased obviously at T1(P<0.05),and group DB was lower than group B obviously at T1(P<0.05).Compared with group N,the scores of Ramsay in group DB and group B were significantly higher (P<0.05),group DB was higher than that of group B(P<0.05). Compared with group N,the incidence of nausea,vomiting,chest tightness,chest pain,hyperten-sion,tachycardia and chills in group B and group DB were significantly lower (P<0.05),and group DB was lower than that of group B (P<0.05).There were no significant differences of the initial time of lactation after operation,height of uterine fundus at 1,3,5 d after operation,the oxytoxin doses within 72 h after operation between the three groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol can effectively reduce the adverse effects of carboprost tromethamine druing cesarean delivery,the more stable hemodynamics and sedative effect,the effect is better than the sin-gle application of butorphanol,at the same time does not affect lactation,it is safe and effective for clinical use.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the clinical efficacy differences among long-snake moxibustion, warm needling and western medication on rheumatoid arthritis and explore its effect mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and twenty patients were randomized into a long-snake moxibustion group, a warm needling group and a western medication group, 40 cases in each one. In the long-snake moxibustion group, the long-snake moxibustion was used. The ginger-isolated moxibustion was applied along the governor vessel, from Dazhui (GV 14) to Yaoshu (GV 2), once a month, for 2 months. In the warm needling group, the main points included Dazhui (GV 14), Ganshu (BL 18), Pishu (BL 20), Shenshu (BL 23), Zhiyang (GV 9), Mingmen (GV 4) and Yaoyangguan (GV 3). The warm needling technique was used at 4 to 5 points each time, and 3 moxa cones were required at each points. The treatment was given once every two days, for 2 months. In the western medication group, methotrexate was prescribed for oral administration, 10 mg each time, once a week. If the joint pain score or joint swelling score was up to 6, diclofenac sodium was combined, 25 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 2 months. The symptom score, physical sign score, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, levels of rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were observed before and after treatment in the patients of the three groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The treatments relieved the symptoms and physical signs of rheumatoid arthritis and improved VAS score and the levels of serum RF, ESR, CRP, IgM and IgG in all of the three groups (all<0.01). The efficacy in the long-snake moxibustion group was significantly better than that in the warm needling group and the western medication group (<0.05,<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The long-snake moxibustion achieves the significant clinical efficacy on rheumatoid arthritis, better than warm needling therapy and methotrexate. This therapy much better reduces immune response and alleviates the sickness.</p>
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the influence of gender difference on the activation of platelets in septic rats.Methods: Totally 20 female and 20 male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: male sham-operated group,female sham-operated group,female septic group,and male septic group,with each group containing 10 rats.Sepsis model in the last two groups was produced by cecal ligation and puncture(CLP);rats in the sham-operated group received no CLP.The rats were sacrificed 24 hours after surgery;the blood samples were collected for blood routine test;and the serum ?-TG levels were detected by ELISA assay.Serum estrogen(E2) levels were detected by radioimmunoassay.Results: The blood platelet counts were decreased in both septic rats of both genders;the count in female rats was significantly higher than in the male rats(P
