ABSTRACT
Bupivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic widely used clinically,but its 6-8 hours duration is insufficient for postoperative analgesia.Designing drug dosage forms to prolong the action time of local anesthetics is the research content of local anesthetics.In 2011,the FDA approved a bupivacaine liposome preparation based on DepoFoam TM technology:Exparel,which can be used for more than 72 hours.This article reviewed the clinical safety research of Exparel and the research progress of its application in clinical postoperative analgesia.
ABSTRACT
As the end-stage of prostate cancer, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer(mCRPC) complicates the disease and therefore challenges the doctors. In October 2018, an 87-year-old patient diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer was admitted to Shanghai General Hospital for evaluation and treatment. Poor basic health condition plus severe side effect resulted in patient’s poor compliance with treatment and irregular follow-up. The patient progressed to mCRPC in September 2020, and was given enzalutamide as first-line therapy, after which the patient’s PSA level was under control with no side effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 605 patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The independent risk factors of AKI were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:Univariate analysis showed that age ( P = 0.001), anemia ( P = 0.036), hypoalbuminemia ( P = 0.001), coronary heart disease ( P = 0.040), hypertension ( P = 0.042), use of ACEI/ARB drugs ( P = 0.025), duration of MAP < 55 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa)( P = 0.000) presented statistical significance( P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that there were significant difference in age ( P = 0.016), hypoalbuminemia ( P = 0.009), duration of MAP < 55 mmHg ( P = 0.003). Conclusions:Age, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, coronary artery disease, hypertension, use of ACEI/ARB drugs, duration of MAP < 55 mmHg are risk factors of postoperative AKI, among which age, hypoalbuminemia, duration of MAP < 55 mmHg are independent risk factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of maintaining general anesthesia without neuromuscular blockade in oral double-balloon enteroscopy. Methods Totally 120 patients undergoing oral double-balloon enteroscopy under general anesthesia were randomly assigned into two groups:the observation group and the control group. The observation group was not given muscle relaxants for anesthesia maintenance,while the control group was given muscle relaxants punctually. Observation indexes were monitored,including the mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR),peak airway pressure (Ppeak)and end-tidal CO2 partial pressure (PETCO2 )before anesthesia (T0),immediately after intubation (T1),at the time of endoscopy placement (T2),at the end of endoscopy withdrawal (T3),and at the time of waking-up (T4). The cases of spontaneous breathing recovery before the end of endoscopy,postoperative recovery time,extubation time,length of PACU stay,postoperative adverse reactions and satisfactory rates were recorded. Results Twelve cases were removed by the exclusion criteria,and the remaining 108 cases completed the study,including 56 cases in the observation group and 52 cases in the control group. The one-time success rate of induction was both 100% in the two groups. There were no significant differences in MAP,HR,Ppeak,and PETCO2 between the two groups at each observation point (all P>0. 05),and the same is true for within group comparison with T0 (all P>0. 05). The recovery rate of spontaneous respiration in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [100% (56/ 56)VS 42%(22/ 52),χ2 = 44. 73,P = 0. 000]. The awaken time,extubation time and length of PACU stay were 6±2 min,10±3 min,and 11± 4 min,respectively,in the observation group,compared with 15± 5 min (t= -12. 64,P= 0. 000),17±5 min (t = -8. 90,P = 0. 000),and 17±7 min (t = -5. 73,P = 0. 000)in the control group. None of the patients required assisted ventilation. Hypoxemia occurred in 2 cases and nausea in 3 cases in the control group,while only nausea occurred in 1 patient in the observation group. The overall incidence of adverse reactions was not statisticaly different between the two groups (P > 0. 05). Anesthesia satisfaction rate of two groups was 100%. Conclusion It is feasible and safe to perform oral double-balloon enteroscopy without muscle relaxants during maintaining under general anesthesia,with quick recovery of spontaneous breathing and awakening,early extubation and less cost.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze retrospectively the correlation between the difficult airway and thyromental height by three-dimensional reconstruction among the Chinese. Methods Eithty patients who had been scanned by helical CT in the head and neck were allocated into two groups according to Cormack-Lehane grading:paients with Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade were allocated into group 1, and paients with Ⅲgrade were allocated into group 2. Reconstructed images were obtained by AW4.4 workstation and the following parameters were recorded and analyzed:the length from the oral to the under jaw(a), the length from the under jaw to the skin of the neck (b), the vertical distance from the under jaw to the neck was equal to thyromental height(c), the vertical distance from the oral to the cervical vertebra(d), the angle with the under jaw as the vertices and with two lines (a and b) for edge (angle ofα). Results The c value in two groups had no significant difference:(3.97 ± 0.82) cm vs. (3.64 ± 0.62) cm, P>0.05. The d value in group 2 was significantly higher than that in group 1:(8.69 ± 0.48) cm vs. (8.25 ± 0.80) cm, P<0.05. The c/d value and c/a value in group 2 were significantly lower than those in group 1: 0.42 ± 0.07 vs. 0.48 ± 0.12, 0.80 ± 0.18 vs. 0.95 ± 0.25, P<0.05. Conclusions Thyromental height by three-dimensional reconstruction has no significant differences in evaluating the difficult airway among the Chinese. The ratio of the vertical distance from the under jaw to the neck and the vertical distance from the oral to the cervical vertebra, and the ratio of the vertical distance from the under jaw to the neck and the length from the oral to the under jaw shows negative correlation with difficult airway.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of nail polish on measurement of pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) by different brands of monitors in healthy volunteers.Methods Twenty healthy female volunteers were enrolled in the study.Nine fingers of each volunteer were chosen randomly,8 nails were painted 8 different colors (transparent color,red,yellow,green,blue,purple,black,white),respectively,and the left 1 nail served as blank control.SpO2 and pulse rate (PR) were measured using TuffSat Handheld Oximeter (GE) and MP70 (Philip) and PM-9800 (Mindray) monitors.SpO2 of the 9 nails monitored and the response time for SpO2 and PR were recorded.Results (1) Compared with blank control,when MP70 monitor was used,no significant change was found in each color-induced effect on the value of SpO2 obtained (P > 0.05),and blue prolonged the response time for PR and SpO2 (P < 0.05) ;When PM-9800 monitor was used,black could decrease the value of SpO2 measured (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found in each color-induced effect on the response time for SpO2 and PR (P > 0.05) ; when TuffSat Handheld Oximeter was used,green and blue could decrease the value of SpO2 monitored,and the value of SpO2 obtained was significantly lower when blue was used (P < 0.05).Black,blue,purple and white could sequentially prolong the response time for PR (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found in each color-induced effect on the response time for SpO2 (P > 0.05).(2) For green and blue nail polish,the value of SpO2 measured with TuffSat Handheld Oximeter was significantly lower than that measured with MP70 and PM-9800 monitors(P < 0.05) ; for red,yellow and green nail polish,the response time for PR obtained with TuffSat Handheld Oximeter was significantly shorter than that obtained with MP70 and PM-9800 monitors (P <0.05) ; for blank control group and 8 colors of nail polish,the response time for SpO2 measured with TuffSat Handheld Oximeter was significantly shorter than that measured with MP70 and PM-9800 monitors (P < 0.05).For black nail polish,the value of SpO2 measured with PM-9800 monitors was significantly lower than that measured with MP70 and TuffSat Handheld Oximeter(P < 0.05).Conclusion The ability for nail polish recognition and identification is different for each monitor and the color of nail polish can exert obvious effect on the value and response time for SpO2 obtained.The results of this study shows that blue nail polish-induced effect on the value of SpO2 obtained with TuffSat Handheld Oximeter is obvious,and MP70 monitor is the most stable instrument and TuffSat Handheld Oximeter is the most sensitive instrument in obtaining the value of SpO2.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the oxygenation and heartbeat duration effect of peritoneal ventilation with oxygen on a rabbit asphyxia model so as to provide a basis for treatment of severe respiratory damage with peritoneal oxygenation technique. Methods Twenty-four New Zealand rabbits were randomized into control group,air group and oxygen group,eight rabbits per group.Trachea dissection and intubation,carotid artery and vein catheter and placement of peritoneal cavity in and out of air duct were performed.An asphyxia model was built by clamping the tracheal catheter and was administered with peritoneal ventilation (with air in air group and oxygen in oxygen group).Indices including blood gas and mean arterial pressure (MAP) before and at an interval of one minute after asphyxia and heartbeat duration were observed,and their differences between groups were compared. Results The arterial partial pressure of oxygen ( PaO2 ) in the oxygen group was higher than that in the control group within four minutes after asphyxia.The partial pressure of carbon dioxide ( PaCO2 ) [ (77.6 ± 11.2) mm Hg] in the oxygen group was significantly lower than (89.1 ± 10.1 )mm Hg in the control group at four minutes after asphyxia.The heartbeat duration [ (6.48 ± 0.89 ) minutes ] in the oxygen group was longer than (5.03 ± 0.51 ) minutes in the control group.MAP had no obvious changes in the three groups. Conclusion The transperitoneal ventilation with gaseous oxygen can alleviate the decrease of PaO2,increase of PaCO2 and prolong the duration of heartbeat in an asphyxia rabbit model.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between noninvasive brachial artery blood pressure (B) and radial artery blood pressure (R) of the right arm.Methods Two hundred and ninetyfive patients with 149 males and age of (47 ± 16) years were studied.The height of patients was 163 ± 8 cm,and weight of patients was (61.2 ± 7.8) kg.The patients with peripheral vascular disease,wounds of arm skin or subcutaneous tissue infection were all excluded.Their B (with adult cuffs) and R (with infant cuffs) of the right arm were measured and analyzed after the patients under general anesthesia and stable hemodynamics.The relationships between B and R were analyzed by linear regression,the differences between B and R of each interval were compared using one-way ANOVA and then followed by SNK procedure.Results Right brachial artery blood pressure was significantly lower than radial artery blood pressure.The differences between the two varied from 13 to 18 mmHg in systolic BP (SBP),diastolic BP (DBP) and mean blood pressure (MAP).And linear regression was most applicable to describe their correlation [r=0.841 (SBP),0.808 (DBP),0.833 (MAP),all P<0.01].Conclusions Radial artery blood pressure measured with infant cuffs can well reflect the variation of brachial artery blood pressure.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of peritoneal jet ventilation on peritoneal oxygenation in pigs.Methods Twenty-four pigs of both sexes (12-16 weeks,35-45 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=8 each): sham operation group (group S) ; peritoneal regular frequency jet ventilation group (16 bpm)(group N) and peritoneal high-frequency jet ventilation group (150 bpm) (group H).Oral tracheal intubation was performed.The animals were mechanically ventilated (VT 8-12 ml/kg,RR 12-16 bpm,I:E 1.0:1.5,FiO2 100%) via airway.Endotracheal tubes were inserted into abdomen through the incisions in the left lower (for peritoneal jet ventilation) and right upper quadrant (for outlet of air).Arterial blood PaO2 and PaCO2 were measured before (baseline) and at 30,60,90,120,150,180,210 and 240 s of peritoneal jet ventilation.Peritoneal jet ventilation was started after the lungs being mechanically ventilated for 35 min.Peritoneal jet ventilation was terminated when SpO2 dropped to SpO2 < 90 %.The duration of safe apnea (DSA,from the moment of begging of peritoneal jet ventilation to the time when PaO2 < 60 mm Hg).Results PaO2 was significandy higher and DSA longer in group H than in groups S and N.But there was no significant difference in PaCO2 among the 3 groups.Conclusion Peritoneal high-frequency jet ventilation can significantly enhance the efficiency of peritoneal oxygenation and prolong DSA,while peritoneal regular frequency jet ventilation has no effect on peritoneal oxygenation.

ObjectiveTo assess the effects of fentanyl (F),alfentanil (A),sufentaril (S),butorphanol (B),dezocine (D) and pentazocine (P) on human sperm motility in vitro.MethodsTwenty samples of semen with normal sperm motility were collected.The semen was mixed with HTF liquid culture medium and sperm concentration was adjusted to (40-80) × 106/ml.Then semen suspension 50 μl was added into the culture dishes.The semen suspensions were randomly divided into 3 groups:group Ⅰ control-semen suspension 50 μl + 0.9% NaCl 50 μl.GroupⅡ single opioid-semen suspension 50 μl + 50 μl of 4 concentrations of F,A,S,B,D and P (10-3,10-4,10-5,10-7 mol/L).Group Ⅲ combined opioid-naloxone-semen suspension 50 μl + 25 μl of 3concentrations of naloxone (2 × 10-8,1 × 10-7,2 × 10-7 mol/L) + 25 μl of 4 concentrations of F,A,S,B and D.After being incubated for 1 h the sperm motility was assessed by sperm analyzer and the amplitude of change in sperm motility was calculated.Median inhibition concentration (IC50) and complete inhibition concentration ( IC100 ) of the 6 opioids were calculated from concentration-response curve.Results( 1 ) The shape of concentration-response curve for F,A and S was straight line.The maximal decrease in sperm motility was (56 ± 5)%(F),(58±7)% (A) and(79±:6)% (S).(2) The shape of concentration-response curve for B,D and P was sigmoid.Low concentrations of B,D and P did not affect sperm motility.Median and high concentrations of B and D could inhibit sperm motility.The maximal inhibition was 100%.High concentration of P increased sperm motility.The maximal increase was (19 ± 6)%.(3) Naloxone shifted the concentration-response curve for F,A,S,B and D to the right,and decreased the maximal inhibitory effect of F,A and S dose-dependently but did not affect the maximal inhibitory effect of B and D.(4) IC50 was in the order of A≈ F > D > S≈- B.IC100 was D > B.ConclusionF,A and S inhibit sperm motility by acting on opioid receptor on human sperms while B and D act through opioid or nonopioid pathways.P can increase sperm motility.
