Objective To investigate the effect of dexamethasone addition in block anesthesia before surgery on postoperative quality of life after extraction of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth. Methods Using a random number table, 120 cases of patients were divided into experimental and control groups, each group contains 60 cases whose mandibular wis?dom tooth will be extracted. Before the surgery, the experimental group patients perform local block anesthetic injection with 3 mL out of 5 mL mixture of 2%lidocaine 4 mL+dexamethasone 1 mL (5 mg) to block nerve. The control group was given block anesthesia of inferior alveolar nerve with 3 mL of 2%lidocaine block anesthesia alone. Improved postoperative symp?toms severity scale (PoSSe) was used to evaluate patients’quality of life after tooth extraction comprehensively and quantita?tively by analysis and comparison of the two sets of scores. Results The experimental group’s PoSSe scores were 18.059 1 ± 13.210 9, which was lower compared with control group (27.819 3 ± 15.716 9). In experimental group, diet, language, swelling, pain and daily points were lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Topical application of dexamethasone in mandibular wisdom tooth extraction reduces postoperative adverse reactions in a certain degree and im?prove postoperative quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the effects of targeted artery perfusion of verapamil and chemotherapy drugs on advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:Sixty patients with advanced NSCLC who were admitted to the Central Hospital of Zhumadian from April 2016 to April 2018 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into the observation group (26 cases) and the control group (34 cases) according to the treatment method. Patients in the observation group were treated with targeted artery perfusion of verapamil and chemotherapy drugs while the control group were treated with target artery perfusion of chemotherapy drugs alone.Both groups were treated continuously for more than 2 months. The short-term curative effect, adverse reactions, changes in immune function, levels of serum tumor markers and Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) scores before and after treatment as well as the prognosis were compared between the two groups.Results:The response rate and control rate in the observation group were 80.8% and 96.2%, higher than 55.9% and 76.5% in the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, CD4 + levels and CD4 + /CD8 + in the observation group were (25.43±2.76)% and (0.88±0.11), lower than (27.56±2.79)% and (0.95±0.13) in the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, serum levels of CEA and CA50 in the observation group were (11.57±2.32)ng/ml and (16.62±3.28)U/ml, also lower than (15.87±2.66)ng/ml and (20.31±3.42)U/ml in the control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). After treatment, KPS score of the observation group was (81.44±2.76) points, higher than (79.62±2.38) points of the control group ( P<0.05). The median survival time and progression-free median survival time of the observation group were 16.0 months and 7.5 months, respectively, significantly better than 10.0 months and 5.0 months of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The treatment with target arterial perfusion of verapamil and chemotherapy drugs for advanced NSCLC can effectively improve the short-term curative effect, reduce serum levels of tumor markers, improve life quality and prolong the survival time. However, it has a certain inhibitory effect on the patient′s immune function.

Objectives To investigate the efficacy of accelerating hemopoietic reconstraction and reducing a graft versus host disease (GVHD) in Allo-BMT receiving lenograstim stimulated donor marrow and to assess the preliminary biological mechanism . Methods The donors for thirty patients (study group) with leukemia were given lenograstim 3-4?μg*kg-1*d-1 for seven days prior to marrow harvest. The results of subsequent engraftment in the recipients was compared with fifteen donors without G-CSF (control group). Five donors themselves were studied to assess the effects of lenograstion on hematopoietic progenitor cells and lymphocyte subsets in BM. Results The stimulated bone marrow contained a higher number of nucleated cells, CFU-GM and CD34+ cells (P<0.01). The hematopoetic reconstitution was accelerated. Until granulocyte counts exceeded 0.5×109/L and plalete counts exceeded 20×109/L, the days were 16.7±3.2 and 18.4±3.0 days as compared with those of the control group (22.5±5.1 and 26.3±5.9 days respectively, P<0.01). The incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD was very low, only one case with grade Ⅱ aGVHD on the skin in the study group. Four out of fifteen patients (26.7%) in the control group had grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD (P<0.05). The number of T lymphocyte subsets in the harvested BM stimulated by G-CSF changed. In comparison with the control group, CD4+ decreased and CD8+ increased significantly (P<0.01). The changes of progenitor cells and T lymphocyte subsets in BM from pre- to post- G-CSF stimulation indicated that the percentage of CD4+ cells reduced (P<0.05), that of CD8+ cells, and that of CD34+ increased (P<0.01). The incidence of chronic GVHD and relapse of leukemia were not different significantly between both groups. Conclusions Allogenic bone marrow transplant (Allo-BMT) donors given G-CSF can accelerate engraftment and minimize the incidence of severe aGVHD. There is a trend in favour of improved transplant-related complicatians.
