Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during recovery from breast cancer surgery under general anaesthesia. Methods A total of 120 patients undergoing unilateral breast cancer radical operation were randomly divided into four groups:group C (infusion of saline, n=30), group D0.5 [infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.5μg/(kg·h) during operation, n=30], group D0.6 [dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/(kg·h), n=30] and group D0.7 [dexmedetomidine 0.7 μg/(kg · h), n=30]. The end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane during surgery and postoperation were observed. The end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane on palinesthesia was recorded. The time from stopping administration of anesthetic drug to palinesthesia and the operation time were recorded. The palinesthesia of patients from general anaesthesia and the degree of emergence agitation of the patient were measured using Riker ’s sedation-agitation scale. The operation time, anesthesia time, intraoperative remifentanil dosage, intraoperative auditory evoked potential index (AAI), sevoflurane inhalation concentration and the corresponding time were recorded. Results There were no significant differences in clinical data, remifentanil dosage, operation time and AAI between four groups. The anesthesia time was longer in group D0.7 than that in the other three groups (P<0.05). Compared to group C, the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during surgery, postoperation and palinesthesia were lower and the time of palinesthesia was delayed in groups D0.5, D0.6 and D0.7 (P<0.05). And the time of palinesthesia was delayed in group D0.7 than that of group D0.5 and group D0.6. Compared with group C, the ratio of Riker’s sedation-agitation scale>7 was lower in groups D0.5, D0.6 and D0.7 (P<0.05). The ratio of Riker’s sedation-agitation scale>4 was significantly higher in group D0.6 and group D0.7 than that in group C and group D0.5, but the ratio of score>6 was lower (P<0.05). The ratio of score>3 was higher in group D0.7 than that of other three groups (P<0.05). Intraoperative cardiac tachycardia was found in group D0.6 and group D0.7 (4 cases, 13%and 8cases, 7%). Conclusion Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/(kg·h) can effectively reduce intraoperative sevoflurane dosage, the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane during recovery, and the occurrence of agitation in patients undergoing general anesthesia.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria of bloodstream infection after chemotherapy in patients with acute leukemia (AL), to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of adverse events and to construct a nomogram model to predict the occurrence of adverse events.Methods:The clinical data of 313 AL patients with bloodstream infection who were admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the incidence, fatality and distribution characteristics of pathogenic bacteria after chemotherapy in AL patients were analyzed; the occurrence of adverse events (death or infectious shock) in patients with different clinicopathological characteristics were compared. Unconditional logistic binary regression model multifactor analysis was used to screen independent risk factors for the occurrence of adverse events in AL patients with bloodstream infection after chemotherapy; the nomogram model for predicting the occurrence of adverse events was developed by using R software; the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to verify the predictive effect of the model.Results:Of the 313 AL patients, the overall fatality rate was 4.2% (13/313), the all-cause fatality rate of bloodstream infection was 3.5% (11/313). Of the 313 cases, 254 cases (81.1%) were Gram-negative bacteria infection, mainly including 115 cases (45.3%) of Escherichia coli, 80 cases (31.5%) of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 29 cases (11.4%) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 10 cases (3.9%) died; 51 cases (16.3%) were Gram-positive cocci infection, mainly including 22 cases (43.1%) of Streptococcus spp., 20 cases (39.2%) of Staphylococcus spp., 7 cases (13.7%) of Enterococcus faecalis, and 0 case died; 8 cases (2.6%) were fungal infection, including 4 cases (1.3%) of Candida tropicalis, 2 cases (0.6%) of Candida subsmoothis, 1 case (0.3%) of Candida smooth, 1 case (0.3%) of new Cryptococcus, and 3 cases (37.5%) died. The differences in the occurrence rates of adverse events were statistically significant when comparing different treatment stage, risk stratification, timing of sensitive antibiotic use, total duration of fever, and glucocorticoid use in chemotherapy regimen, infecting bacteria carbapenem resistance, and leukemia remission (all P < 0.05). The results of logistic binary regression analysis showed that the use of glucocorticoid in chemotherapy regimen, the total duration of fever ≥7 d, the timing of sensitive antibiotic use ≥24 h, and carbapenem resistance of the infecting bacteria were independent risk factors for the occurrence of adverse events in AL patients with bloodstream infection after chemotherapy (all P < 0.05). A nomogram prediction model for the occurrence of adverse events in AL patients with bloodstream infection was established, and the nomogram model was calibrated and validated with good calibration and discrimination. Conclusions:The pathogenic bacteria of bloodstream infection after chemotherapy in AL patients is mainly Gram-negative bacteria, and the presence of glucocorticoid in chemotherapy regimen, long total duration of fever, poor timing of sensitive antibiotics, and infecting bacteria carbapenem resistance are risk factors for the occurrence of adverse events in AL patients with bloodstream infection after chemotherapy, and the nomogram prediction model based on these factors has a reliable predictive ability for the occurrence of adverse events.

Objective To analyze the microflora structure and abundance of ileum and colon of SPF male SD rats by high-throughput sequencing technique. MethodsThe ileal and colonic lumen contents of 30 SPF male SD rats were collected, the total bacterial DNA in the contents was extracted and amplified by PCR. The V3-V4 region of bacterial 16S rRNA in the samples was sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq sequencing platform. Then the species structure and abundance of the intestinal flora were analyzed at the phylum and genus level based on validated data. The diversity and differences between ileal and colonic flora were analyzed using the QIIME software (amplicon) analysis tool. The Tax4Fun program was applied to predict the dominant gene enrichment pathways of ileal and colonic flora. ResultsAt the phylum level, the dominant microflora in the ileum of male SD rats were Firmicutes and Actinobacteria, accounting for more than 98%. The dominant colonic microbial community were mainly Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, accounting for more than 95%. At the genus level, Lactobacillus and Alistipes were the predominant bacteria in the ileum. The colon was dominated by Lactobacillus and Romboutsia. In terms of flora diversity, the alpha diversity of colonic flora including richness index (Chao1 index) and diversity index (Shannon index) were significantly higher than those of ileum (P < 0.01), and the structural variability of the composition of its flora species was smaller than that of ileum; the ileal flora with significant structural variability were mainly of the phylum Firmicutes, Romboutsia, Peptostreptococcaceae, while the colonic flora had significant structural differences in Bacteroidales. In terms of flora function, the ileal flora dominant genes were significantly enriched in lipid-like metabolism, polyketide metabolism, membrane transport, biodegradation and other pathways, while the colonic flora dominant genes were significantly enriched in glycan biosynthesis metabolism, energy metabolism, biosynthesis of cofactor and vitamins and other products, and other pathways. ConclusionThere are significant differences in structure and abundance between the ileal and colonic flora of SPF male SD rats, and the abundance and diversity of colonic flora are higher than those of ileal flora.
