Objective To investigate effects and safety of dexmedetomidine on the prevention of abnormal mental in patients after liver transplantation.Methods 160 patients after liver transplantation were randomly divided into the two groups using the drawing method:midazolam group(n =80),dexmedetomidine group(n =80),compared the two groups of patients with general,mental abnormality and the occurrence of adverse reactions.Results There were no significant differences in the general situation (gender,age,postoperative ventilator time,ICU stay time,oper-ation time,blood FK506 concentration,APACHEII score 24 hours after operation)of the two groups of patients (P >0.05),the spirit of the abnormal rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P =0.009), incidence of hypotension and hypertension in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P =0.035,0.029).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can effectively reduce the postoperative mental disorders in patients in the early stage after liver transplantation.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion for vascular dementia and explore its mechanism. Methods: A total of 70 patients with vascular dementia were randomized into an observation group and a control group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group was treated with piracetam, and the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the treatment of the control group. The treatment lasted for 8 weeks. Before and after the treatment, the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), activity of daily living (ADL) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores were assessed, and the levels of acetyl choline (Ach) and homocysteine (Hcy) were measured. The efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the MMSE and ADL scores in the observation group decreased significantly, and were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05); the TCM symptom score of the observation group decreased significantly (P<0.05), while that of the control group had no significant change (P>0.05); the plasma Ach level in the observation group increased significantly (P<0.05), and the Hcy level decreased significantly (P<0.05), which were statistically different from those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Heat-sensitive moxibustion plus piracetam is effective in treating vascular dementia. It can significantly improve dementia symptoms and ADL, which may be related to the correction of plasma Ach and Hcy levels.

Objective To observe the influencing factors of recurrence and metastasis for postoperative breast cancer high-risk population, and TCM regimen of syndrome differentiation and treatment was used to validate its significance for the prevention of recurrence and metastasis. Methods The influencing factors of recurrence and metastasis of 178 postoperative breast cancer high-risk cases with positive hormone receptor were studied. The recurrence and metastasis, disease-free survival and accumulative points of TCM symptoms of integrated group (with TCM syndrome differentiation and endocrine therapy) and western medicine group (with endocrine therapy) were compared. Results Lymph node metastasis, cancer staging and TCM therapy had influence on the disease-free survival rate of postoperative breast cancer high-risk patients. TCM therapy was the independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival. 3-year recurrence and metastasis rate was lower in integrated group than that in western medicine group, with statistical difference (P=0.03). The total accumulative points of TCM symptoms in both two groups decreased after treated for 3 and 6 months, integrated group showed greater significance. TCM therapy was better for the treatment of irritability, hot flash and perspiration, good for spontaneous perspiration and insomnia, but poor in dry mouth, bitter taste in mouth and fatigue. Conclusion Lymph node metastasis, cancer staging and TCM therapy are main influencing factors for recurrence and metastasis. TCM therapy with regimen of syndrome differentiation and treatment can reduce 3-year recurrence and metastasis rate, improve TCM symptoms, especially is significant for the improvement of irritability, hot flash and perspiration.

Objective To discuss the treatment strategy of knee dislocation and to evaluate its outcome.Methods Thirty-six patients with unilateral knee dislocation treated with individualized protocol were studied retrospectively,including 22 males and 14 females with an average age of 35 years (range,19-72 years).There were 30 acute and 6 chronic knee dislocations.According to the modified Schenck's classification of knee dislocation,there were 7 KD- Ⅰ and 23 KD-Ⅲ cases in the acute category,and all 6 chronic cases were KD-Ⅲ.Seven acute KD- Ⅰ and 6 chronic KD-Ⅲ cases underwent one-stage arthroscopic surgery.In 23 acute KD-Ⅲ cases,2 were treated conservatively with splint or brace due to advanced age,18 with staged surgery,3 with one-stage surgery due to concomitant vascular and nerve injury.Functional and clinical evaluation was conducted at final follow-up.Results All 36 patients were followed up for an average of 27 months (range,18-36 months).The Lysholm score (82.0±11.4),Tegner score (5.5±1.3),and knee range of motion (118.3°±19.2°) at final follow-up showed a statistically significant improvement compared with preoperative results (P＜O.O1).Eight (23.5％) patients had residual knee instability:posterior drawer test and Sag sign were positive (++ or +++) in 8 knees,valgus instability (++) in 1 and varus instability (+++) in 1.The remaining 28 knees were stable.Conclusion Special attention should be paid to rotational knee dislocation with single cruciate ligament rupture.Properly individualized treatment plan is the key to optimal outcome.Arthroscopic surgery can lead to successful outcome.Early one-stage arthroscopic surgery is recommended for acute KD-Ⅰ and chronic KD-Ⅲ dislocation,staged arthroscopic surgery for acute KD-Ⅲ dislocation.

Objective To explore the association between the genetic polymorphism of hypoxia inducible factor 1 α (HIF-1α) G1790A and the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods A total of 189 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with radical radiotherapy were followed-up for 3 years.The patients were divided into cured group with 135 cases and recurrence group with 54 cases by clinical follow-up results.PCR-RFLP was used to determine the mononucleotide genotypes of HIF-1α G1790A.Results The observed genotype frequencies of HIF-1α gene 1790 (G→A) for GG, GA and AA were 70.04% , 20.74% , 2.22% in cured group and 59.26% , 38.89% , 1.85% in recurrence group, respectively.The allele frequencies for G and A were 87.4% , 13.9% in cured groups and 78.7% ,21.3% in recurrence group, respectively, without significant difference in distribution of allele frequencies between the two groups(x2 =6.919, P =0.077).Conclusions The genetic polymorphisms of HIF-1α G1790A might be related with the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
