Objective To investigate the efficacy of preemptive analgesiawith ultrasound-guided modified dorsal penile nerve block combined ketorolac tromethamine for circumcision in pediatric patients.Methods Forty-five pediatric patients with ASA grade Ⅰ undergoing elective circumcision were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=15 each).The same intravenous compound anesthesia was used in the three groups.The pediatric patients underwent ultrasound-guided modified dorsal penile nerve block with a mixture of 0.1 ml/kg of 0.2% ropivacaine and 0.8% lidocaine before operation in group A and group B.The pediatric patients were given ketorolac tromethamine 1 mg/kg intramuscular injection before operation in group A and group C.The total consumption of propfol and sufentanil, occurrence of intraoperative body movement and respiratory depression, emergence time, time from waking up to going out of PACU and adverse reactions such as postoperative agitation, nausea, vomiting and pruritus were aslo recorded.The requirement for postoperative paracetamol suppositories was recorded.Results Compared with group C, the total consumption of propfol and sufentanil were significantly decreased, incidence of body movement andrespiratory depression were significantly decreased, the emergence time and time from waking up to going out of PACU was significantly shortened, requirement for paracetamol suppositories were significantly decreased in group A and group B(P<0.05).Compared with group B, incidence of requirement for paracetamol suppositories was significantly decreased in group A (P<0.05).No pediatric patients developed postoperative nausea, vomiting, pruritus and incidence of emergence agitation had no statistical difference in the three groups.Conclusion Preemptive analgesia with ultrasound-guided modified dorsal penile nerve block combined ketorolac tromethamine is safe and effective when used for circumcision in pediatric patients, and it has good efficacy of postoperative analgesia.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare Baicalin-loaded Polyethylene glycol-derivatized phosphatidylethanolamine (BAI@PEG-PE) nanomicelles, and to characterize it and study its cytotoxicity. METHODS: BAI@PEG-PE nanomicelles were prepared by film hydration method and their appearance characteristics were observed. The particle size, polydispersity index, Zeta potential, drug-loading amount and encapsulation efficiency of the nanomicelles were detected. Drug release of BAI raw material and BAI@PEG-PE nanomicelles in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer were compared within 1-84 h. Using coumarin 6 as fluorescent probe, the distribution of PEG-PE nanomicelles in H9c2 cardiomyocytes were observed. H9c2 cardiomyocytes were divided into model group, BAI raw material group and BAI@PEG-PE nanomicelles group. After treated with serum-free DMEM medium containing no or corresponding drugs for 0.5 h, isoproterenol was used to induce cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Nuclear morphology, cell apoptosis rate and protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were compared with among 3 groups. RESULTS: Prepared BAI@PEG-PE nanomicelles were uniform globular shape. The particle size was (16.7±0.8) nm, PDI was 0.11±0.01 and Zeta-potential was (-18.4±0.6) mV; drug-loading amount was (7.84±0.65)%, encapsulation efficiency was (85.7±4.9)% (n=3). Accumulative release rate was 76.5% within 84 h. BAI raw material was released completely within 24 h. PEG-PE nanomicelles could strengthen the intake of coumarin 6 in H9c2 cardiomyocytes, mainly gathering around mitochondria. Compared with model group, the apoptosis morphology of cardiomyocytes were improved significantly in BAI raw material group and BAI@PEG-PE nanomicelles group; apoptosis rate was decreased significantly; protein expression of Bcl-2 was increased significantly; protein expression of Bax was decreased significantly with statistical significance (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Above effects of BAI@PEG-PE nanomicelles group were more significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: BAI@PEG-PE nanomicelles are prepared successfully, and show significant sustained-release effect and myocardial targeting, and can prevent cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
