RESUMO
Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of melatonin on postoperative sleep quality.Methods:Databases such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, China Biomedical Literature Database and China Science and Technology Journal Database were searched from inception to January 30, 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effects of melatonin versus placebo on postoperative sleep quality.The outcomes analyzed were visual analog scale (VAS) score, sleep quality scale score, subjective sleep scale score, St.Mary′s Hospital sleep questionnaires score, sleep latency, total sleep time, number and duration of awakenings, and incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance.Statistical analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.4 software and Stata 16 software, and the trial sequential analysis (TSA) was conducted using the TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta software. Results:Eleven RCTs involving 822 patients were finally enrolled, with 431 patients in melatonin group and 391 patients in placebo group.The results of meta-analysis showed that melatonin significantly decreased postoperative VAS and sleep quality scale scores, and increased the postoperative subjective sleep scale and St.Mary′s Hospital sleep questionnaires scores, a daily dose of melatonin 6 mg produced a better efficacy, and it also prolonged the postoperative total sleep time and decreased the incidence of postoperative sleep disorders ( P<0.05), However, it had no effect on postoperative sleep latency and the number and duration of awakenings ( P>0.05). The results of TSA showed that although the actual sample size did not reach the expected sample size, the accumulated Z value crossed the traditional boundary value and the TSA boundary value, which indicated that the results of this meta-analysis had stability and further confirmed the efficacy of melatonin in improving postoperative sleep quality. Conclusions:Melatonin can improve postoperative sleep quality and a daily dose of melatonin 6 mg exerts a better efficacy.
RESUMO
Surgical treatment for bone and soft tumors of pelvis and sacrum presents a big challenge, because of the complex anatomy of sacropelvic region, large tumor volume at presentation, rich blood supply to the tumor and visceral involvemen, et al. Therefore, surgical excision and reconstruction are technically difficult for sacropelvic tumors. Extensive intraoperative haemorrhage could be life-threatening, and this issue remains a major concern. How to effectively control bleeding during surgery is critical for successful operation and patient's favorable prognosis. Some previous attempts, such as interventional selective internal iliac artery embolization or manual ligation through an additional anterior approach, were tested to be ineffective. Inspired by the success of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) which resemble an endovascular tourniquet for traumatic hemorrhagic shock, some researchers have applied this techinique to control surgical bleeding during pelvic or sacral tumor resection.The authors have performed REBOA for more than 1 500 sacropelvic tumr surgeries since 2003 in Peking University People's Hospital. The patient age, the diameter of femoral artery and aorta, atherosclerosis, as well as tumor location, volume and expansion and blood suppy, have to be thoroughly evaluated prior to REBOA administration. Admittedly, the application of REBOA do reduce intraoperative bleeding, shorten the operation duration, improve the safety of surgery, yet some complications were observed including local hematoma at the puncture site, acute arterial thrombosis, femoral artery pseudoaneurysm or occlusio, et al. The purpose of this study is to review the literature on REBOA administration in pelvic and sacral tumors excision, with the focus on its indications, performing procedure, the safety and efficacy, and complications. Moreover, in order to popularize the clinical application of aortic balloon occlusion in the future, we summarize our experience of abdominal aortic balloon occlusion over 10 years.

RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on pyroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells of rats with acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by endotoxin.Methods:Twenty-four healthy clean-grade Sprague-Dawley rats of either gender, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 160-182 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), group AKI, EA plus AKI group (group EA), sham EA at non-acupoint plus AKI group (group SEA). The model of endotoxemia was established by intraperitoneally injecting 10 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide.Bilateral 30 min EA stimulation of Zusanli and Shenyu (according to atlas of animal acupoint) was performed starting from 5 days before establishing the model (once a day) and at 30 min before lipopolysaccharide administration on the day of establishing the model, with disperse-dense waves, frequency of 15 Hz, and the needle was kept until 6 h after injection of LPS in group EA.EA was performed at the points 0.5 cm lateral to the acupoints of Zusanli and Shenyu in group SEA.At 6 h after LPS injection, blood was taken from the heart, and the concentrations of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were detected by an automatic biochemical analyzer, and the serum concentrations of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The rats were then sacrificed, and the left renal cortex was obtained for determination of pyroptosis rate of renal tubular epithelial cells (by TUNEL). The right renal cortex was obtained to detect the expression of caspase-1 and IL-1β by Western blot, and the expression of caspase-1 mRNA and IL-1β mRNA was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results:Compared with group C, the concentrations of BUN, Cr, NGAL, KIM-1, TNF-α, and IL-6 were significantly increased, the pyroptosis rate of renal tubular epithelial cells was increased, the expression of caspase-1 and IL-1β protein and mRNA in the renal cortex was up-regulated in group AKI ( P<0.05). Compared with group AKI, the concentrations of BUN, Cr, NGAL, KIM-1, TNF-α, and IL-6 were significantly decreased, the pyroptosis rate of renal tubular epithelial cells was decreased, the expression of caspase-1 and IL-1β protein and mRNA in the renal cortex was down-regulated in group SEA ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism by which EA reduces AKI may be related to inhibiting pyroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells of rats.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of sufentanil on activation of Schwann cells after peripheral nerve injury in mice.Methods:Eighty healthy pathogen-free male Balb/c mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: peripheral nerve injury group (group PNI), high dose sufentanil group (group H), medium dose sufentanil group (group M) and low dose sufentanil group (group L). The model of unilateral sciatic nerve transaction was established in ketamine-anesthetized mice.Immediately after establishment of the model, sufentanil 10, 5 and 2.5 μg/kg was injected intraperitoneally once a day for 3 consecutive days in H, M and L groups, respectively, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group PNI.Sciatic function index (SFI) was calculated at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after establishment of the model.At 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks, 5 mice in each group were sacrificed, and segments of the injuried ipsilateral sciatic nerve were removed for examination of the ultrastructure of the sciatic nerve (with a transmission electron microscope) and for detection of the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) of sciatic nerve (by immunohistochemistry). Results:Compared with group PNI, SFI was significantly increased, and the expression of GFAP was up-regluated at each time point after establishment of the model in H and M groups ( P<0.05) and no significant change was found in SFI and GFAP expression after establishment of the model in group L ( P>0.05). Compared with group L, SFI was significantly increased, and GFAP expression was up-regluated in H and M groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in SFI and GFAP expression between group H and group M ( P>0.05). The thickness of myelin lamellae was dense, and the proliferation of Schwann cells was not marked in H and M groups.The thickness of myelin lamellae was thin, and the proliferation of Schwann cells was marked in L and MO groups. Conclusion:The mechanism by which sufentanil improves repair after peripheral nerve injury may be related to promoting activation of Schwann cells in mice.

RESUMO
Postoperative nausea and vomiting ( PONV) is a common complication after anaesthesia, which hinders the rapid recovery of patients. Aprepitant, one of neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonists is mainly used to prevent nausea and vomiting by blocking the binding of substance P to NK-1 receptor. It has the advantages of high selectivity, strong affinity and long half-life, and its new antiemetic target pro-vides a new choice for prophylactic treatment of PONV. This article summarize studies on the prophylaxis of aprepitant in treatment of PONV.

RESUMO
Objective To explore the morbidity,the diagnosis and the method of therapy of accidental prostatic carcinoma. Methods From Jan of 1984 to May of 2004, 19 cases of prostatic accidental carcinoma were confirmed on pathological examination after prostatectomy for BPH. Bilateral orchiectomy and Estrogen treatment were performed in 6 cases and Bilateral orchiectomy in 7 cases alone but no treatment in 6 cases. Results 5 of the patients wereA1 stage and 14 A2 stage. 12 of them were followed up for 3 to 120 months. 14 of them survived and one untreated died of metastasis to pubis and vertebra after one year. Conclusions Most patients of prostatic accidental carcinoma are A1 and have a better prognosis. Bilateral orchiectomy and Estrogen treatment might improve the patients’s survival rate.
RESUMO
Objective To study the use of fiberoptic bronchoscope in the positioning of double-lumen endobronchial tube in Chinese patients. Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients (60 male and 30 female) undergoing thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation were enrolled in the study. Age ranged from 14-79 years (mean age 56 ?16) and the average height was 169? 6 cm (male) and 158?6 cm (female) respectively. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl, propofol and vecuronium. Double-lumen endobronchial tube (Broncho-Cath, Mallincrodt Medical) was inserted following conventional procedure. Proper position of double-lumen tube(DLT) was determined by auscultation. Fiberoptic bronchoscope was made if needed. The fiberoptic bronchoscopy was repeated after lateral decubitus positioning of the patient. The depth of the tube inserted was recorded. Results The fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed that the incidence of malpositioning of the left-sided DLT was 68% and of right-sided DLT was 62% . The most common malposition was that the tube was placed too deep. The dislodgement of DLT in lateral decubitus positioning of the patient occurred in 24% patients and in most cases the DLT was moved upward. The depth of insertion did not correlate with the patient' s height. Conclusion Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a reliable technique for correct positioning of DLT and should be used routinely.
