Objective To observe the effects of preoperative acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH) on coagulation and fibrinolysis on the elderly patients undergoing hepatic carcinectomy.Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ～Ⅱ liver cancer patients over sixty years old undergoing scheduled elective hepatic carcinectomy were random divided into AHH group ( n = 15) and control group ( n = 15).AHH was performed by infusing 15 ～20ml/kg 6% Voluven ( 130/0.4) in a rate of 30ml/min on patients in AHH group,and the patients in control group were infused routinely lactated Ringer's solution.Blood samples were collected for measuring coagulation function and platelet activation before anesthesia (T1) ,30 minutes after AHH (T2),1 hour ( T3 ), immediately (T4) and 24 hours (T5) after operation in group AHH, and the similar procure was used in control group.Results There was significant difference in the volume of allergenic blood transfusions between the two groups(20% vs 53.3%, P ＜0.05).PT and APTT in both groups prolonged significantly after T2, but they all remained in normal range.TT and DD had no significant changes between the two groups.SFMC and F1 + 2 increased in both groups, but it had no significant changes.PAC-1 and CD62P expressions of group AHH were significantly lower T2, T3 ,respectively ( 1.37 ±0.4) %, (1.28 ±0.4) %, than those at T1 [( 1.96 ± 0.6) %] ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with control group, CD62P was significantly lower in AHH group at T2 and T5.Conclusion It is safe to take AHH of Hct 25% to 30% during hepatic carcinectomy for elderly liver cancer patients without cardiac and pulmonary disease.And it could decrease allergenic blood transfusions, with no apparently influence on coagulation function.

Esketamine is an antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and exerts antianxiety, hypnotic, sedative, and analgesic effects by interacting with NMDA receptors, opioid receptors, M - choline receptors, monoamine receptors, adenosine receptors, and other purine receptors. As the more potents isomer of ketamine, it is about twice as potent as ketamine. Compared with ketamine, esketamine has the characteristics of rapid onset and metabolism, strong analgesia, slight respiratory depression, rapid recovery of cognitive function, and low incidence of psychiatric side effects. It has become a new choice of pediatric anesthesia drugs. This article reviews the pharmacological properties of esketamine and its recent application in pediatric anesthesia, and provides reference for the safe use of esketamine in pediatric perioperative period.

Remimazolam is a new ultra-short-acting sedative, with rapid onset and recovery, metabolism independent of liver and kidney function, light respiratory inhibition, stable hemodynamics, long time application without accumulation. Carboxylic acid metabolites have no pharmacological effects, and can be rapidly reversed by antagonist flumazenil, which is expected to become a new choice of clinical sedative. In this paper, pharmacological characteristics and recent research progress of remimazolam are reviewed, which can provide reference for clinical safe drug use.

Propofol,as a widely used intravenous anesthetic,has been found to have the potential of anti-tumor growth and metastasis in recent years.At present,the research on the mechanism of pro-pofol inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis is still relatively limited.In this paper,we summarize the recent studies on the role of propofol in inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis and its possible mo-lecular mechanisms,such as regulating specific sig-naling pathways or key molecules,and interacting with other molecules.At the same time,the appli-cation of propofol,including the optimization of ad-ministration route and dose,as well as the possibili-ty of being an adjunct therapy to radiotherapy and chemotherapy,was analyzed,and the recent stud-ies on the mechanism of propofol inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis were reviewed,providing a reference for further exploration of the application and research direction of propofol in clinical anti-tu-mor growth and metastasis therapy.

Male infertility is a significant cause of psychosocial and marital distress in approximately 50% of couples who are unable to conceive, with male factors being the underlying cause. Guijiajiao (Colla Carapacis et Plastri, CCP) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine commonly used to treat male infertility. The present study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying the preventive effects of CCP on male infertility. An infertile male rat model was established using cyclophosphamide (CTX), and CCP was administered for both treatment and prevention. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was also performed to explore the role of gut microbiota in the CCP-mediated prevention of male infertility in rats. Sperm motility and concentration were determined using a semi-automatic sperm classification analyzer. Subsequently, histopathological analysis using HE staining was performed to examine the changes in the small intestine and testis. Moreover, the serum levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and testosterone were measured by ELISA. In addition, immunohistochemistry was conducted to detect CD3 expression in the small intestine, while RT-qPCR was employed to assess the expressions of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3), Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL-10) in the small intestine and epididymis. Finally, gut microbiota was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing. CCP improved sperm motility, number, and concentration in CTX-induced infertile male rats. CCP increased the serum testosterone level, inhibited the immune cell infiltration of the intestinal lamina propria, and promoted the aggregation of CD3⁺ T cells in CTX-induced male infertility rats. CCP also inhibited the expressions of MCP-1, CXCL-10, and IL-1β in the epididymis of male infertility rats. At the genus level, CTX led to a reduction in the abundance of Lactobacillus, Clostridia_UCG.014, and Romboutsia in the intestinal tract of rats. In contrast, CCP decreased the abundance of Ruminococcus and increased the abundance of Romboutsia in infertile male rats. Additionally, FMT experiments proved that the gut microbiota of CCP-treated rats facilitated testicular tissue recovery and spermatogenesis while also reducing the serum LPS level in infertile male rats. CCP improves the spermatogenic ability of infertile male rats by restoring gut microbiota diversity and inhibiting epididymal inflammation.
