RESUMO
Background@#Recent studies have reported that costoclavicular blocks (CCBs) can consistently block almost all branches of the brachial plexus while sparing the phrenic nerve and provide effective analgesia after shoulder surgery. We aimed to compare the efficacy of the CCB with that of the interscalene block (ISB) as the sole blocking technique for shoulder surgery. @*Methods@#A total of 212 patients undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery were randomized to receive an ISB or CCB based on a non-inferiority design. All patients received titration sedation with propofol under monitored anesthesia during surgery. The primary outcomes were the proportion of patients with complete motor blockade of the suprascapular nerve (SSN) and incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP). The secondary outcomes included block-related variables, complications, and postoperative pain scores. @*Results@#The proportion of patients with complete motor blockade of the SSN at 20 min between the CCB and ISB groups (53% vs. 66%) exceeded the predefined non-inferiority margin of −5%, but was comparable at 30 min (87% vs. 91%). The CCB resulted in a significantly lower incidence of HDP (7.55% vs. 92.45%), Horner’s syndrome (0% vs. 18.87%), and dyspnea (0% vs. 10.38%) than the ISB. None of the patients experienced failed blocks or required conversion to general anesthesia. Pain scores were comparable between the groups. @*Conclusions@#Ultrasound-guided CCBs may be comparable to ISBs, with fewer unfavorable complications in patients with impaired lung function undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:The importance of autophagy for maintaining cellular homeostasis and stress response has long been recognized.As a way for cells to selectively clear their damaged organelles to achieve the recycling of cellular components,autophagy has a pivotal role in bone metabolism.OBJECTIVE:To review the role and possible mechanisms of autophagy in regulating bone-related cell activity and function among bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,osteoblasts,osteocytes,and osteoclasts.METHODS:PubMed was searched for studies related to autophagy using the keywords of "autophagy;bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells;osteoblasts;osteocytes;osteoclasts."RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We finally included 84 papers.Autophagy plays an important role in bone metabolism.Autophagy is involved in maintaining the balance between mineralization and absorption,and then maintaining bone homeostasis.An appropriate autophagy inducer may also benefit bone remodeling.Abnormal autophagy can lead to disorders of bone balance,leading to diseases such as osteoporosis.We may prevent or treat bone-related diseases by regulating the level of autophagy as its function in maintaining the balance of mineralization and resorption in bone homeostasis.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:It is generaly recognized that cervical rotation manipulation can increase the risk of detachment of unstable plaques in carotid atherosclerosis, but few studies are reported on the influence of cervical rotation manipulation on the stable plaque in early carotid atherosclerosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of the cervical rotation manipulation on the lipid contents in carotid atherosclerotic plaque in a rabbit model of early carotid atherosclerosis. METHODS:After being fed for 15 days with normal diet, 30 male New Zealand White rabbits were further fed for 18 weeks with normal diet (n = 10; control group) or a high-fat diet containing 2% cholesterol, 10% lard and 88% normal granules to build rabbit models of early carotid atherosclerosis with stable carotid plaque (n = 20). At 14 weeks of feeding with high-fat diet, the experimental rabbits fed with high-fat diet were randomly divided into a cervical rotation manipulation group (n = 10) and a model group (n = 10). The rabbits in the cervical rotation manipulation group underwent cervical rotation manipulation to the left and right sides, once each side, with the maximal range of rotation. Total five cervical rotation manipulations, once every 3 days, were performed. RESULETS AND CONCLUSION:The 1 450 cm-1 and 1 660 cm-1 peaks of the Raman spectrum of lipid in the carotid atherosclerotic plaque of rabbit models were not distinctly present in the control group, however, they were obviously observed in the cervical rotation manipulation group and model group. Nevertheless, the relative intensity differences at spectrum characteristic peaks were not significant between cervical rotation manipulation group and model group (P > 0.05). The environmental findings indicate that the lipid content in carotid atherosclerotic plaque of rabbit models of early carotid atherosclerosis cannot be increased after short-term administration of cervical rotation manipulation.
