ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of the midazolam sedation based on remifentanil analgesia on the occurrence of delirium in critically ill patients in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods A single-center prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. 140 consecutive critically ill patients admitted to ICU of Peking University People's Hospital, undergoing mechanical ventilation longer than 24 hours, with the need of sedation, from February 2014 to January 2015 were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups by computer generated random numbers table, eachn = 70. The patients in observation group received midazolam 1μg·kg-1·min-1 for sedation, and 1 mg/mL remifentanil for analgesia with 0.05 mg/kg intravenous bolus, then continuous infusion of 0.02-0.10 mg·kg-1·h-1. The patients in control group received midazolam for sedation only. The data were recorded as follows: the main indices for observation included the occurrence of delirium and its duration; the second item for observation was consumption of drug for sedation, followed by the mean arterial pressure (MAP) before and after sedation, the time of wake-up, duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of ICU stay, and 28-day fatality rate. The 28-day survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results The dosage of remifentanil used in observation group was (98.6±24.9) mg/d, the dosage of midazolam was significantly lower than that of the control group (mg/d: 160.6±33.3 vs. 178.9±43.4, t = 2.829,P = 0.005), the incidence of delirium was obviously lower than that of the control group [22.9% (16/70) vs. 57.1% (40/70),χ2 = 15.700,P< 0.001], and the time of delirium was slightly shorter than that of the control group (hours: 162.9±78.0 vs. 194.8±117.3,t = 0.947,P = 0.348). Among the patients with delirium, the dosage of dexmedetomidine used in observation group was significantly less than that of the control group (mg/d: 0.54±0.11 vs. 0.64±0.14,t = 2.112,P = 0.041). The MAP before sedation was similar as the MAP after sedation in both groups, and there was no significant difference between observation group and control group [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), before treatment: 84.7±16.2 vs. 89.5±37.7, after treatment: 82.3±10.7 vs. 80.8±13.9, bothP> 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the time of waking-up between observation group and control group (hours: 2.3±0.9 vs. 2.4±0.8,t = 0.487,P = 0.627). The duration of mechanical ventilation (hours: 143.4±138.3 vs. 163.9±158.9, t = 0.812,P = 0.418), the length of ICU stay (days: 8.8±7.7 vs. 10.0±7.8,t = 0.917,P = 0.361) and 28-day fatality rate [11.4% (8/70) vs. 20.0% (14/70),χ2 = 1.941,P = 0.245] in observation group were slightly lower than those of the control group without significant difference. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the cumulative 28-day survival rate in observation group was slightly higher than that of control group (χ2 = 1.647,P = 0.199). ConclusionAnalgesia based on sedation may reduce the occurrence of delirium and its severity, furthermore, even if delirium occurs, it may be less severe.

The fibrosis can occur in many kinds of organs,and its sustained progress may lead to organ structural damage and functional decline,and even the organ failure,which threatens the human health and the life seriously.Adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside that can be generated in various tissues of the body and regulate a multitude of body functions via the combina-tion with four different kinds of G protein-coupled receptors.Re-cent studies have found that adenosine receptors play an impor-tant role in regeneration tissue and fibrosis process.To under-stand the processes may be helpful to the treatment of fibrosis diseases.This review makes a summary on latest research pro-gress of adenosine receptors in fibrosis diseases.

Objective To explore the effects of clinical psychological intervention on anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patients .Methods Hemodialysis patients were randomly divided into two groups:psychological inter-vention group and control group ,25 patients in each group .In intervention group ,besides routine clinical treatment and nursing measures ,we analyzed the clinical information of the patients ,consulted the relevant documents ,combined the evidence and clinical experience ,and finally conducted the psychological intervention .Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale of these patients were analyzed .Results Before the intervention , the SAS and SDS scores of intervention group and control group were (57.3 ±1.5) versus (56.9 ±1.6) and (55.3 ±2.3) versus (56.1 ±3.5),respectively.The t values were 0.912(P>0.05) and 0.955(P>0.05),respectively.After interven-tion,the score before and after the trial between these two groups were significantly different (P<0.05).The SAS and SDS scores of intervention group and control group were (16.4 ±0.9) versus (10.1 ±1.3) and (14.3 ±2.1) ver-sus (9.7 ±1.5),respectively.Conclusion Clinical psychological intervention can effectively relieve anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patients .

A total of 218 patients on chemotherapeutic regimens containing oxaliplatin were randomly divided into experimental (n =120) and control (n =98) groups.The experimental group received an intravenous infusion of lipoic acid plus sodium potassium magnesium calcium and glucose injection.The control group had only normal saline.Overall incidence of neurotoxicity and toxicity grade of peripheral nerve were observed after 4,8 and 12 cycles.Those with neurotoxic symptoms were followed up for 1 year.No significantly statistical difference existed in the incidence of peripheral neurotoxicity after 4,8 cycles (P ＞0.05).After 12 cycles,31 patients in the experimental group had an onset of neurotoxicity of grade3 (n=8,6.7％) &grade4 (n=0) versus21 cases of grade3 (n=21,21.4％) and grade4 (n=5,5.1％) in the control group.Statistically significant differences existed between grades 3 and 4 neurotoxicity (P ＜0.05).After 1 year of follow-up,the incidence of grade 1 of neurotoxicity was 2.5％ (n =3) in the experimental group versus 23.7％ (n =9) in the control group.And the inter-group difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Lipoic acid plus sodium potassium magnesium,calcium and glucose injection can effectively prevent the occurrences of acute and chronic peripheral neurotoxicity associated with oxaliplatin.

Objective To investigate the effect of dezocine combined with fentanyl in patients undergoing kidney transplantation on the quality of anesthesia and recover consciousness,as well as explore the preemptive analgesia effect of dezocine in renal transplantation.Methods Eighty patients undergoing allogeneic renal transplantation were randomly divided into control group (Ⅰ) and dezocine group (Ⅱ) (40 cases for each group).Patients in two groups were induced with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg,propofol 1-2 mg/kg,fentanyl 3 μg/kg,and cis-atracurium 2.5 mg/kg intravenously,and then they were incubated and given mechanical ventilation.Anesthesia was maintained with intravenous and inhalational anesthesia.1％-2％ sevoflurane had been inhaled until half an hour before the end of the surgery,while 1％ propofol 3-5 mg/kg/h and remifentanil 0.1-0.2 μg/kg/min had been pumped intravenously till the end of the surgery.2μg/kg fentanyl was infused in control group,while in dezocine group 0.1 mg/kg dezocine was intravenously infused before skin incision.The concentration of sevoflurane and the pump speed ofremifentanil were adjusted according to the depth of anesthesia.Changes of mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR) and the pulse oximetry (SPO2) before anesthesia (T0),before skin incision (T1),5 minutes after incision (T2),5 minutes before extubation (T3) and 10 minutes after extubation(T4) were recorded.Extubation time,nausea,vomiting and the incidence of adverse reactions during recovery period were also recorded.Before leaving the operating room,VAS scale was used to assess the pain situation of patients.Results There were no significant differences in terms of MAP,HR and SPO2 at each time point between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The VAS scores in fentanyl group was 1.76 ± 0.43,as same as that in dezocine group (1.84 ± 0.57,P =0.480 7).The incidence of adverse reactions including nausea,vomiting in fentanyl group and dezocine group were 22.5％ and 2.5％,and the difference was significant (x2 =7.314 3,P =0.007).The extubationtime after surgery in diesoline group [(12.21 ± 2.16) min] was significantly shortened than that in fentanyl group [(15.15 ± 2.25) min],P =0.000).Conclusion Dezocine preemptive analgesia is used in renal transplant patients in advance,and it can partly replace the same effect of fentanyl analgesia intensity,significantly shorten the extubation time,reduce the occurrence of awakening period adverse events such as of nausea,vomiting and restlessness.It is safe for renal transplant patients.

TGR5,expressing in many tissue cells,is a kind of bile acid membrane receptor and participates in a variety of metabolic and immune diseases.Activated TGR5 can keep the metabolism system in a steady state by mediating the metabolism of bile acid,lipid,and blood sugar,reducing insulin resistance and increasing the body's energy consumption; TGR5 could regulate the immune responses of mononuclear cell and Kupffer cell in the liver.For example,it can regulate the adaptive immune response by inhibiting the expression and release of inflammatory cytokines in Kupffer cells,and regulating the differentiation and maturation of dendritic cells.This review mainly focused on the function of TGR5 in liver metabolism and immune and further explored the related mechanism,as well as its clinical significance in related liver diseases.

RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products) is a multiligand receptor on the cell surface.Ligand-RAGE inter-actions activate several signal transduction pathways that propa-gate cellular oxidative stress and inflammatory response.RAGE expressed on the CD4 + T cells has been identified as a central transduction receptor which affects the activation,proliferation, migration and differentiation of the cells.In addition,blockade of RAGE suppressed the development of multiple immune-related
disorders mediated by CD4 + T cells.These studies highlight the importance of RAGE and its ligands for CD4 + T cells.This arti-cle briefly reviews the role of RAGE and its ligands on the prolif-eration,migration and differentiation of CD4 + T cells and sum-marizes the related research progress.
