Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dexmedetomidine for the sedation of the patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods The selective 96 CABG patients,ASA Ⅱor Ⅲ,aged 36 to 68 years old,58 males and 38 females,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =48):dexmedetomidine group (group A) and midazolam group (group B).Group A patients received Dexmedetomidine (1.0 μg/kg)over 10 min,followed by 0.2-0.7 μg · kg-1 · h-1 to maintain sedation,whereas the other group patients received midazolam (0.05 mg/kg) over 10 min,followed by 0.02-0.10 mg · kg-1 · h-1 to maintain sedation.Two groups of patients stopped using drug when they were fit off-line and extubation.Observe the percentage of time within target sedative scope (Riker range 3-4),the changes of vital signs before and after treatment,the prevalence of delirium,the awakening time,the duration of mechanical ventilation,ICU length of stay,the adverse events of blood pressure and heart rate.Results There were no significant difference in the percentage of time within target sedative scope between two groups (75.5％ for dexmedetomidine group vs 74.6％ for midazolam group,P ＞ 0.05).Compared to midazolam group,the Dexmedetomidine group has a shorter awakening time [(14.0 ± 6.2) min for dexmedetomidine group vs (50.4 ± 12.8) min for midazolam group,P ＜ 0.05] and duration of mechanical ventilation,and also the prevalence of delirium was lower(15.3％ for dexmedetomidine group vs 34.6％ for midazolam group,P ＜0.05).ICU length of stay was similar.Dexmedetomidine-treated patients were more likely to develop bradcardia,with a non significant increase in the proportion requiring treatment,but had a lower likelihood of tachycardia or hypertension requiring treatment.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine is safe and effective in patients after CABG surgery.

Objective This study aims to analyze the independent risk factors associated with postoperative delirium of patients undergoing Stanford A aortic dissection surgery.Methods Clinical data of the patients who underwent Stanford A aortic dissection surgery from December 2014 to October 2015 were collected.All patients received surgery under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest(DHCA) and the nasal temperature goal was below 23℃.After surgery,patients were transferred to the cardiovascular ICU,where they received standard postoperative care.The delirium was diagnosed according to the criteria of the confusion assessment method for the intensive care unit(CAM-ICU).The possible risk factors of pre-operation,during operation or post-operation were analyzed via univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression to determine the independent risk factorsof postoperative delirium.Results 148 patients underwent Stanford A aortic dissection surgery which the incidence of postoperative delirium was 31.1％ (46/148).Univariate analysis showed the associated risk factors were age,hypertension,cognitive impairment,emergency operation,operation time,aorta clamping time,DHCA time,fluctuation of blood pressure during operation,blood transfusion,quality of sleep,length of ICU stay and electrolyte disturbance(P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that hypertension,cognitive impairment,fluctuation of mean arterial blood pressure(MAP) ＞ 30 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),DHCA time ＞ 40 min,postoperative poor quality of sleep and electrolyte disturbance were independently associated with postoperative delirium after Stanford A aortic dissection surgery(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Delirium is a frequent complication.Factors independently associated with delirium are hypertension,cognitive impairment,DHCA time,postoperative poor quality of sleep and electrolyte disturbance.Prevent,assess and manage delirium should be paid more attention and reinforced.

Objective To explore the risk factors and optional treatment strategies for postoperative hypoxemia in patients undergoing acute Stanford A aortic dissection surgery.Methods From December 2012 to April 2014,108 patients received acute Stanford A aortic dissection surgery in Henan Provincial People' s Hospital.Of them,74 men vs.34 women,age (43.2 ± 10.1) years old,and weight (71.3 ± 18.4) kg.The operation was performed within 14 days since disease onset.All patients received surgery under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest(DHCA) and the nasal temperature goal was below 20 ℃ .Postoperative hypoxemia was defined as the arterial partial oxygen over inspired oxygen fraction(PaO2/FiO2) more than 200 after admission to ICU.Pulmonary protective ventilation management took place immediately after hypoxemia was diagnosed.Comparison analysis was performed between hypoxemia group and non-hypoxemia group in age,gender,body mass index (BMI),smoking history,duration of cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB),duration of DHCA,blood transfusion,length of mechanical ventilation,length of ICU stay and mortality.Results The incidence of postoperative hypoxemia was 40.7％ (44/108).There were no statistical differences in age,gender,hypertension,diabetes mellitus or COPD history.In the hypoxemia group,11 cases developed pulmonary infection,3 cases underwent tracheotomy and 10 cases died.In the non-hypoxemia group,4 patients died.Postoperative hypoxemia was significantly associated with more mortality,length of ventilation time,length of ICU stay and in hospital(P ＞ 0.05).Univariate analysis showed the associated factors were BMI,smoking history,preoperative hypoxemia,LVEF ＜ 0.45,operation time,aorta clamping time,DHCA time and blood transfusion.Multivariate analysis showed the independent predictive factors were preoperative hypoxemia,DHCA ＞40 min,blood transfusion ＞ 10 U and BMI ＞25 kg/ m2.Conclusion Obesity,massive blood transfusion,long DHCA time and preoperative hypoxemia are independent risk factors of postoperative hypoxemia in patients undergoing acute Stanford A aortic dissection surgery.Perioperative pulmonary protection should be paid more attention and reinforced.

Objective To analyze the incidence rate and the perioperative risk factors associated with delirium after cardiac surgery.Methods We enrolled 622 patients between October 2014 and March 2015 in the department of cardiovascular surgery in Henan Provincial People's Hospital who were allocated to group PD and non-PD according to the Confusion Assessment Method(CAM) after the cardiac operation.Baseline demographics,perioperative data,and postoperative outcomes of these patients were recorded and analyzed via chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the risk factors of postoperative delirium.Results Postoperative delirium was detected in 102 patients according to CAM criteria.The incidence was 16.4％.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age (OR =3.456;95％ CI:2.431-4.569),preoperative atrial fibrillation (OR =1.987;95％ CI:3.562-7.862),prolonged surgery duration (OR =1.246;95％ CI:3.164-5.982),postoperative pain (OR =5.356;95 ％ CI:1.386-9.374)were independently associated with postoperative delirium after cardiac surgery.Conclusions Delirium is a frequent complication,age,preoperative atrial fibrillation,prolonged surgery duration,postoperative pain are independent risk factors for delirium following cardiac surgery.Management according to potential risk factors may be associated with preferable therapeutic outcomes.

Objective To investigate the value of hydrogen proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) and Dixon sequence for the quantitative diagnosis and classification of steatosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods Sixty seven patients with NAFLD confirmed by liver biopsy were prospectively collected from October 2015 to May 2017 in Hangzhou Normal University Hospital. All patients underwent 1H-MRS and Dixon sequence scan within 7 days after liver biopsy, 1H-MRS-based hydrogen proton density fraction (MRS-PDFF) and Dixon-based hydrogen proton density fraction (MRI-PDFF) were obtained. Fat grading based on the fat percentage obtained from liver biopsy. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation among pathological steatosis and MRS-PDFF, MRI-PDFF. One-way ANOVA analysis was performed to compare the difference of PDFF between patients with different degrees of severity of fatty liver. And the ROC curve analysis was performed to generate the thresholds of MRS-PDFF and MRI-PDFF for determining the presence of fatty liver. Results The steatosis grade of pathological biopsy showed grade S1 in 36 cases, grade S2 in 16 cases, grade S3 in 15 cases, the MRS-PDFF values of S1, S2 and S3 patients were (8.25 ± 4.32)％, (15.67 ± 4.54)％, (23.46 ± 5.82)％and the MRI-PDFF values were (6.31 ± 2.94)％, (15.42 ± 5.07)％, (24.47 ± 6.31)％. Statistically significant differences were observed among them (P<0.01). Both MRS-PDFF and MRI-PDFF were positively correlated with histological fat percentage (r values were 0.840 and 0.892,all P<0.01), there was also a correlation between MRS-PDFF and MRI-PDFF (r=0.930, P<0.01). Area under ROC curve of MRS-PDFF and MRI-PDFF for differential diagnosis of grade S1 steatosis were 0.955 and 0.976, and area under ROC curve for differential diagnosis of grade S3 steatosis were 0.972 and 0.978. Conclusion 1H-MRS and Dixon sequces have high value in liver fat content detection and classification of patients with NAFLD, and both have similar diagnostic efficacy.

Objective: To understand the current situation of intimate partner violence (IPV) among young students in Chengdu and its relationship with emotion regulation self-efficacy,and to provide a reference for conducting the education on close relationship. Methods: Totally 1 041 young students with love experience in Chengdu were selected by by stratified cluster random sampling to explore potentional factors related to IPV. Results: The incidence of IPV perpetration among young students with love experience was as high as 69.6% and the incidence of IPV victimization was 62.2%. Young students had committed(65.4%) or been subjected(64.0%) to more than three intimate partner violence. 59.92% young students were both perpetrators and victims of IPV. Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with young female students, young male students were not prone to commit violence in intimate relationships(OR=0.59), but may become victims of IPV(OR=1.91). More than half a year in love(OR=1.70), cohabitation(OR=2.47), bullying by peers (OR=1.54) and interference by parents (OR=1.63) were risk factors for IPV perpetration. Among them, more than half a year in love (OR=1.51) and cohabitants (OR=2.52) were positively associated with IPV victimization. The efficacy of managing negative emotions was a negatively associated with IPV perpetration (OR=0.96) and victimization(OR=0.97)(P<0.05). Conclusion The phenomenon of intimate partner violence among young students is more common, which is closely related to the rearing style of young students, peer relationship, love relationship and the ability to manage negative emotions, which should be paid attention to.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in myocardial contusion.Methods:A case-control study was performed on 42 patients with blunt chest injury treated in Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from September 2018 to January 2021. There were 24 males and 18 females, with the age range of 23-66 years [(44.2±10.9)years]. The patients were divided into myocardial contusion group ( n=20) and non-myocardial contusion group ( n=22) according to the clinical diagnostic criteria of myocardial contusion (cardiac troponin I>0.06 ng/ml). All the patients underwent CMR examination within 7 days after hospitalization, and eletrocardiography (ECG) as well as transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examinations with 24 hours. Abnormal findings on CMR, ECG and TTE were compared between the two groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used for the comparison of the diagnostic efficacy of CMR, ECG and TTE for myocardial contusion. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and Youden index of CMR, ECG and TTE were calculated, respectively. Results:There were 15 patients (75%) presenting CMR abnormalities in myocardial contusion group compared to 2 patients (9%) in non-myocardial contusion group ( P<0.01). CMR abnormalities mainly included myocardial oedema, ischemia or hemorrhage, which were located in the left ventricle of 12 patients (71%), right ventricle of 3 (18%) and ventricular septal of 3 (12%). There were 12 patients (60%) showing ECG abnormalities in myocardial contusion group compared to 7 patients (32%) in non-myocardial contusion group ( P>0.05). Abnormal ECG changes included 8 patients (42%) with sinus tachycardia or bradycardia, 5 (26%) with ST-T changes, 3 (16%) with atrial premature beat, 2 (11%) with bundle branch block and 1 (5%) with frequent premature ventricular contractions. There were 10 patients (50%) showing TTE abnormalities in myocardial contusion group compared to 9 patients (41%) in non-myocardial contusion group ( P>0.05). TTE abnormalities manifested as left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in 12 patients (63%) and wall motion abnormalities in 7 (37%). The AUC of CMR, ECG and TTE for diagnosing myocardial contusion was 0.83 (95% CI 0.70-0.96), 0.64 (95% CI 0.47-0.81) and 0.55 (95% CI 0.70-0.72), respectively. For CMR, ECG and TTE, the diagnostic sensitivity was 75.0%, 60.0% and 50.0%, with the specificity of 91.0%, 68.2% and 59.1%, the positive predictive value was 88.2%, 63.2% and 52.6%, and the Youden index of 66.0, 28.2 and 9.1, respectively. Conclusion:CMR can accurately detect myocardial contusion, with better diagnostic performance than ECG and TTE as well as relatively higher sensitivity and specificity, indicating that CMR has great value for clinical diagnosis of myocardial contusion.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Tanshinone ⅡA(TⅡA)in improving ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury of H9c2 cardiomyocytes by activating Sirtuin 1(SIRT1)-adenosine 5'-monophosphateactivated protein kinase(AMPK)pathway through miR-155-5p.Methods:H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and I/R damage model was established.After modeling,H9c2 cells were randomly divided into model group,TⅡA group,TⅡA+miR-NC group,TⅡA+miR-155-5p mimics group,10 μmol/L TⅡA was added for intervention after transfection,and the H9c2 cells supplemented with DMSO were used as control group.qRT-PCR was used to detect expression level of miR-155-5p;MTT method was used to analyze cell proliferation ability;flow cytometry was used to evaluate cell apoptosis;ELISA was used to determine the levels of TNF-α,IL-4,IL-10,IL-17,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),malo-ndialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD);Western blot was used to detect relative expressions of SIRT1,AMPK and p-AMPK proteins.Results:Compared with control group,expression of miR-155-5p in model group was increased,cell viability was decreased,apoptosis rate and expressions of TNF-α,IL-17,LDH and MDA were increased,while expressions of IL-4,IL-10,SOD,SIRT1 and p-AMPK were decreased(P<0.05);compared with model group,expression of miR-155-5p in TⅡA group was reduced,cell viability was increased,apoptosis rate and expressions of TNF-α,IL-17,LDH and MDA were decreased,while expressions of IL-4,IL-10,SOD,SIRT1 and p-AMPK were increased(P<0.05);compared with TⅡA group and TⅡA+miR-NC group,expression of miR-155-5p in TⅡA+miR-155-5p mimics group was increased,cell viability was decreased,apoptosis rate and expressions of TNF-α,IL-17,LDH and MDA were increased,while expressions of IL-4,IL-10,SOD,SIRT1 and p-AMPK were decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:TⅡA can improve I/R injury of H9c2 cardiomyocytes by down-regulating miR-155-5p,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of SIRT1-AMPK pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of different doses of sivelestat sodium on perioperative acute lung injury (ALI) in the patients undergoing emergency surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (AAAD).Methods:A total of 120 patients of both sexes, aged 30-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-24.9 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅲ or Ⅳ, scheduled for emergency AAAD surgery, were divided into 3 groups using a random number table method: low-dose sivelestat sodium group (SL group), medium-dose sivelestat sodium group (SM group)and high-dose sivelestat sodium group (SH group), with 40 patients in each group. Sivelestat sodium 4.8, 6.0 and 7.2 mg/kg were intravenously infused starting from 10 min before anesthesia until 24 h after surgery in SL, SM and SH groups, respectively. Blood samples from the radial artery were collected for blood gas analysis after anesthesia induction and before skin incision (T 1), immediately after the end of surgery (T 2), at 24 h after surgery (T 3), and 72 h after surgery (T 4), the alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference (PA-aDO 2), oxygenation index (OI)and respiratory index (RI) were calculated. The duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and length of postoperative hospital stay were recorded. Central venous blood samples were collected at T 1-T 4 to measure serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6)and IL-8. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected on preoperative day 1 and postoperative days 1 and 3 to measure white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil (NEUT) count, neutrophil percentage (NEUT%), and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration. The occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs)and 90-day all-cause mortality were recorded. Results:Compared with the baseline at T 1, PA-aDO 2 and RI were significantly increased, OI was decreased, and the serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 were increased at T 2-T 4 in all the three groups ( P<0.05). WBC, NEUT, NEUT% and concentrations of CRP were significantly higher on postoperative days 1 and 3 than on 1 day before surgery in the three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with SL and SM groups, PA-aDO 2 and RI were significantly decreased, OI was increased, and the serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 were decreased, the WBC count, NEUT count, NEUT% and concentrations of CRP were decreased, the incidence of postoperative hypercapnia, hypoxemia, emerging lung rales and bronchospasm was decreased, and the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation and length of intensive care unit stay were shortened( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the postoperative length of hospital stay and 90-day all-cause mortality rate in SH group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Sivelestat sodium 7.2 mg/kg can significantly inhibit the inflammatory responses, alleviate perioperative ALI, and improve early prognosis in the patients undergoing AAAD surgery.
