ABSTRACT
The present study aims to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride (Dex) on hemodynamics, postoperative analgesia and cognition in cesarean section. One hundred and two pregnant women who underwent cesarean section were selected from August 2016 to July 2017 in People's Hospital of Zhangqiu District and randomly divided into control group and observation group. Control group was anesthetized with bupivacaine hydrochloride, and morphine + ropivacaine hydrochloride were given postoperatively. Observation group received intraoperative anesthesia with bupivacaine hydrochloride and Dex, and Dex + ropivacaine hydrochloride were given for postoperative analgesia. Hemodynamic factors were compared between the two groups. Postoperative Ramsay sedation score, the incidence of adverse reactions and the incidence of transient neurological syndrome (TNS) were compared between the two groups. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scoring were performed to evaluate the cognitive function of the two groups. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of the observation group after anesthesia were significantly lower than those of control group (P<0.05). The Ramsay sedation score of the observation group was significantly better than that of control group at different time-points after surgery (P<0.05). Incidence of postoperative agitation in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). Incidence of TNS in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group during 1 week after surgery (P<0.05). MoCA and MMSE scores of the observation group were better than that of control group at 1 day after operation (P<0.05). The use of Dex anesthesia in cesarean section can achieve more stable hemodynamic conditions during perioperative period and more obvious analgesic effect after operation. It also reduced the incidence of postoperative TNS and cognitive dysfunction, and had important clinical significance.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To explore the significance of computed tomography (CT) and transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) combined with serum CEA and CA19.9 in the staging, diagnosis and prognosis of rectal cancer. METHODS: Fifty-six patients with rectal cancer were recruited from our oncology department. ELISA detected the expression level of CEA and CA19.9 in serum. The hemodynamic parameters of the rectal mucosa and tumor were detected by TRUS [resistance index (RI), pulse index (PI), peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic volume (EDV)]. All patients were pathologically examined to determine the disease stage and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of serum tumor markers, CT and TRUS. All patients were followed up for 24 months to assess the relationship between the combined examinations and the disease prognosis. RESULTS: CEA and CA19.9 levels were significantly different in patients with different pathological stages (p<0.05). RI and PI decreased with increasing pathological stage, while PSV and EDV were increased with increasing pathological stage. The serum CEA+CA19.9 examination showed 12 cases of misdiagnosis, with an accuracy diagnostic rate of 78.57% (447sol;56). CT examination showed 8 cases of misdiagnosis, with an accuracy diagnostic rate of 85.71% (48/56). TRUS showed 6 cases of misdiagnosis, with an accuracy diagnostic rate of 89.28% (50/56). However, only 2 cases were misdiagnosed and 96.43% (54/56) were accurate, while no statistical difference was noticed between combined detection and pathology (p<0.05). Postoperative follow-up showed significant differences in T staging at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after operation (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: CT and TRUS combined with serum CEA and CA19.9 had great value in the diagnosis and prognosis in rectal cancer.
