Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on autophagy in SD rat heart during myocar-dial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods Twenty-one male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups as follows (n = 7): the sham operation group, in which rats underwent sham operation without tightening of the coronary artery sutures; the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion group , in which rats were induced by occlud-ing the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min , followed by 120 min reperfusion and 0.9% NaCl in-fusion at 3 mL/(kg·h) at 10 min before occluding the left anterior descending coronary artery; the myocardial ischemia- reperfusion- propofol group, in which rats underwent I/R and propofol infusion at 6 mg/(kg·h) at 10 min before occluding the left anterior descending coronary artery. Before tightening of the coronary artery, at 30 min post-tightening of the coronary artery and at 120 min post-reperfusion, HR、 LVSP and ± dp/dtmax of rats were recordedin each group. Atter 120 min post-reperfusion, the serum concentrations of cTnT was measured. The in-jured cardiac tissue was collected to investigate the ultrastructure change under the TEM and to determine the levels of mTOR and p-mTOR. Results No signifcant differences in HR, LVSP and ± dp/dtmax before tighten-ing of the coronary artery. But, at 30 min post- tightening of the coronary artery, compared with groupⅠ, the HR, LVSP and ±dp/dtmax were significantly decresed in groupⅡ and Ⅲ(P < 0.05). Then, at 2 h post-reper-fusion, compared with groupⅠ, the HR, LVSP, ±dp/dtmax and the level of p-mTOR were significantly de-creased, but the serum concentration of cTnT was significantly increased in groupⅡ(P < 0.05); but, compared with groupⅡ, the HR, LVSP, ± dp/dtmax and the level of p-mTOR were significantly increased, the serum concentration of cTnT and the level of mTOR were significantly decreased in group Ⅲ(P < 0.05). Conclusions These data suggest that propofol could heighten the level of p-mTOR, and attenuate the expression of mTOR dur-ing the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in SD rats.

Objective:To evaluate the application efficacy of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery in primary hospitals.Methods:A total of 116 patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery from January 2017 to December 2018 at our hospital were enrolled in this study.According to the perioperative rehabilitation program, 116 patients were divided into the group A(n=67, receiving enhanced recovery after surgery)and the group B(n=49, receiving traditional recovery after surgery).Results:The incidences of preoperative thirst and hunger were lower in the group A than in the group B(11.9% vs.53.1%, 16.4% vs.51.0%, χ2=23.10 and 15.83, respectively, P<0.001). The levels of CRP and blood glucose in the two groups were significantly higher after operation than before operation, and reached the peak values on the 3rd day after the operation.At different time points after operation, CRP levels and blood glucose levels were higher in the group B than in the group A(all P<0.05). On the 7th day after operation, blood glucose level was recovered to the preoperative level in the group A, while it was not so in the group B. The incidence of complication in the group A was similar to the group B(7.46% vs.12.2%, χ2=0.75, P>0.05). The hospitalization period was shorter and the hospitalization cost was less in the group A than in the group B(8.16±1.33)d vs.(15.39±2.81)d, (46100±1800)yuan vs.(56900±5600)yuan, t=10.98 and 9.96, P=0.000). Conclusions:The application of enhanced recovery after surgery is beneficial for perioperative safety, can reduce surgical stress response, promote postoperative recovery, shorten hospitalization time after surgery and reduce hospitalization costs in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and quality of life of segmental bowel resection for bowel endometriosis. Methods Totally 62 symptomatic patients with bowel endometriosis undergoing segmental bowel resection were recruited. A visual analogue scale (VAS) and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) questionnaire were administered before and at least 1 year after surgery, respectively. Pregnancy rates were also recorded. Results Sixty-two patients in total underwent follow-up ranging from 12 to 74 months. All patients complained of obvious pain symptoms, including dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, pain on defecation and chronic pelvic pain. The relief of dysmenorrhea (2.9 ± 2.2 versus 7.5 ± 2.9), dyspareunia (0.7 ± 0.5 versus 4.3 ± 2.2) and pain on defecation (1.6 ± 0.7 versus 7.3 ± 1.9) after surgery was statistically significant (all P<0.01). The scores for all 8 domains of the SF-36 questionnaire were significant improved after segmental bowel resection (all P<0.01). The complication rate was 45% (28/62), including 18 cases of urinary retention, 4 rectovaginal fistulas, 2 cases of vaginal dehiscence, and 1 case each of thrombogenesis, pelvic abscess and general peritonitis. All of the patients with complications recovered well throughout follow-up. The postoperative pregnancy rate of the previous infertile patients was 6/10. Among the 6 gestational cases, 2 had labour, 2 underwent caesarean sections, one had a spontaneous natural abortion, and one underwent uterine curettage. Conclusion Segmental bowel resection could significantly relieve pain and improve quality of life for patients with bowel endometriosis.
