ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia on prognosis of cesarean section in parturients with medium and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Methods Parturients with medium and severe PAH,at ≥ 24 weeks of gestation,aged 20-45 yr,undergoing elective cesarean section under general or epidural anesthesia from November 1,2011 to December 31,2017 in our hospital,were divided into general anesthesia group and epidural anesthesia group according to the anesthetic method.General anesthesia was combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia.The highest temperature within 5 days after surgery,the lowest SpO2 (inhaling oxygen 2-4 L/min via a nasal tube) within 3 days after surgery,duration of intensive care unit stay,time of postoperative use of antibiotics,requirement for targeted drugs for pulmonary hypertension,results of laboratory tests (blood biochemistry,coagulation function),postoperative mechanical ventilation,length of hospital stay,and hospitalization costs were recorded.The Apgar score and weight of the newborn,postoperative complications and death of the newborn and parturients in hospital were recorded.Cox regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors after cesarean section in parturients with medium and severe PAH.Results Fifty-seven parturients were enrolled in this study,with 21 cases in general anesthesia group and 36 cases in epidural anesthesia group.Compared with general anesthesia group,the rate of postoperative mechanical ventilation was significantly decreased,the incidence of adverse events of parturients in hospital and mortality rate were decreased,the postoperative level of albumin was increased,activated partial thromboplastin time was shortened (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the other parameters in epidural anesthesia group (P＞ 0.05).The results of Cox regression analysis showed that anesthetic method and preoperative SpO2difference were independent risk factors for cesarean section-related adverse events and death of parturients with medium and severe PAH.The risk of adverse events and death of parturients was significantly higher in general anesthesia group than in epidural anesthesia group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Epidural anesthesia produces better prognosis than general anesthesia when used for cesarean section in parturients with moderate and severe PAH.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#Adipocytes in the tumor microenvironment may provide the metabolic fuel or signal transduction through media and other means to promote a variety of malignant proliferation and invasion, of tumor cells, but their role in lung cancer progression is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of adipocytes on lung cancer cell biology.@*METHODS@#3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were induced into mature adipocytes. The cell morphology was observed by microscopy and Oil Red O staining. MTT assay, colony formation assay, wound-healing and Transwell methods were used to detect lung cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability. The content of triglyceride in cells was determined by colorimetry.@*RESULTS@#The morphology of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells became more slender after co-culture with mature adipocytes, and the proliferation and cloning ability were significantly enhanced (P<0.05). In addition, mature adipocytes can also promote the migration ability (P<0.05), invasion ability (P<0.01) and accumulation of intracellular lipid (P<0.05) of A549 cells.@*CONCLUSIONS@#These findings suggested that adipocytes in tumor microenvironment can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, which may be related to lipid metabolism.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of tissue and blood long noncoding RNA(lncRNA) detection in the patients with hepatocellular cancer(HCC).Methods The HCC tissue sample,blood sample, suspected HCC puncture sample and blood sample from the persons undergoing healthy physical examination were selected for conducting the study.The six lncRNAs which were more than 5-fold expression amount were picked out in the 338 transcripts with abnormal high expression.The expression amount of lncRNA AK057037 in HCC tissue and serm tissue was detected by using the real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization.Then the results were statistically analyzed.Results The six lncRNAs were highly ex-pressed in the tissues and blood of the liver cancer,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Compared with healthy people,the relative expression of AK057037 in the tissues and blood of the liver cancer increased significantly,and the relative expression level in tumor and paracancerous tissues was statistically significant(P<0.05).As the tumor progresses,the relative expression of AK057037 was further enhanced. There was a higher relative expression in advanced liver cancer especially,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The results of the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under curve of AK057037 was 0.834(95% CI 0.705-0.918)in the blood specimen,and its diagnostic efficiency was better than that of commonly used nucleic acid marker miR-29a.Conclusion lncRNA AK057037 is highly ex-pressed in HCC sample and blood,and can be used for clinical detection of HCC.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of different values of PEEP on cardiac index (CI), stroke volume variation (SVV) and oxygen transport index (DO2I) in patients monitored by FloTrac/Vigileo system, and to provide some references for the hemodynamic management and improvement of oxygenation for patients. Methods Sixty patients scheduled for elective television (TV) auxiliary thoracoscope radical operation for esophageal cancer were included in this study. Data of CI, SVV and DO2I were observed by the FloTrac/Vigileo system. Changes of CI, SVV and DO2I were recorded after anesthesia induction and turn left side (T0), artificial pneumothorax with 0 PEEP after 5 minutes (T1), artificial pneumothorax with 5 PEEP after 5 minutes (T2), artificial pneumothorax with 10 PEEP after 5 minutes (T3), and artificial pneumothorax with 15 PEEP after 5 minutes (T4). Results Compared with T0, CI decreased and SVV increased significantly at T1, T2, T3 and T4(P<0.05). Compared with T1, CI decreased and SVV increased at T4. DO2I increased at T2 and T3 compared with that of T1(P<0.05). Conclusion PEEP may have a certain influence on CI and SVV in the process of operation. The values of 5-10 PEEP can significantly improve oxygenation and have a less influence on hemodynamics, which can be appropriately used in clinical care.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on the lung injury during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery.Methods Eighty patients scheduled for elective radical operation for esophageal cancer,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=40 each) using a random number table.control group (group C) and group RIPC.At 0 (T1),30 min (T2),1 h (T3) and 2 h (T4) of OLV,blood samples were obtained from the radial artery for blood gas analysis and determination of plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-1β (IL-1ββ) and IL-10.Oxygenation index(OI),respiratory index(RI) and PaO2/PAO2 were calculated.Exhaled breath condensate was collected and the pH value was measured.Results Compared with group C,Oxygenation index was significantly increased,and respiratory index was decreased at T2-T4,the plasma concentrations of TNF-α and IL-1β were decreased,and the pH value of exhaled breath condensate was increased at T3-T4,and the plasma concentration of IL-10 was increased at T4 in group RIPC.Conclusion RIPC can inhibit inflammatory responses and reduce airway acidification,thus attenuating the lung injury during OLV in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
