Objective To prepare naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray and evaluate the ciliotoxicity and pharmacokinetics of the formulation. Methods The stability of naloxone hydrochloride was studied in pH3.5-5.5. Penetration promoting effects of absorp-tion enhancers on the naloxone hydrochloride were evaluated. Nasal ciliotoxicity studies were carried out using isolated toad palate. Rats were treated with naloxone hydrochloride solution by intramuscular injection of nasal drops to evaluate the pharmacokinetics. Results Naloxone hydrochloride solution was stable in pH3.5-5.5. Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(0.2%,W/V)had the best penetration promoting effect on naloxone hydrochloride. Naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray did not exhibit obvious nasal ciliotox-icity compared to the negative control. The nasal spray had a faster therapeutic effect and its bioavailability was similar to that of the in-tramuscular injection. Conclusion Naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray prepared in this research is stable with no obvious nasal cilio-toxicity,has faster therapeutic effect,and good bioavailability,so may have a broad application prospect.

Objective To compare the release rate and bioavailability of progesterone injection with different particle sizes. Methods The preparation of progesterone nano sized injection and micron sized injection were performed by power X-ray diffraction (PXRD)and Fourier trensform infrared spectooscory(FTIR). The dissolution rate of two preparations and progesterone was compared by dialysis Method. HPLC-MS method was used to determine the progesterone concentration of plasma in rats after intramuscular injec-tion of different preparations,and the main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and analyzed statistically. Results Based on the analysis of PXRD and FTIR,there were no crystal structure changes between the two preparations and progesterone. The complete release of progesterone nano sized injection and micron sized injection required 2 and 4 h in the PBS solution,respectively,while the release of progesterone required nearly 40 h. In the pharmacokinetic experiment,compared with progesterone injection,the Cmax of pro-gesterone nano sized injection and micron sized injection were increased by 1.8 and 1.7 times,respectively;the AUC0-t were increased by 2.95 and 1.63 times,respectively. The bioavailability of both was higher than that of progesterone injection. Conclusion The re-lease rate bioavailability of progesterone nano sized injection and micron sized injection is higher than that of progesterone and proges-terone injection. Bioavailability of progesterone nano sized injection is higher than that of progesterone micron sized injection.

Objective:To evaluate the modified efficacy of serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) combined with general anesthesia for thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer.Methods:Eighty-two patients of both sexes, aged 40-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-24 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer, were divided into 2 groups ( n=41 each) using a random number table method: general anesthesia group (group G) and SAPB combined with general anesthesia group (group SG). Ultrasound-guided SAPB was performed before induction of general anesthesia in group SG.General anesthesia was induced with midazolam, etomidate, sufentanil and cis atracurium, and anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and remifentanil.Sufentanil was used for patient-controlled intravenous anesthesia (PCIA) after the end of operation.When visual analog scale score≥4, sufentanil 2.5 μg was injected intravenously for rescue analgesia.The intraoperative consumption of sevoflurane and remifentanil, extubation time, requirement for rescue analgesia within 48 h after operation, consumption of sufentanil, requirement for nicardipine and esmolol and occurrence of adverse events were recorded. Results:Compared with group G, the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil and sevoflurane, postoperative consumption of sufentanil, postoperative requirement for rescue analgesia, postoperative requirement for nicardipine and esmolol, postoperative incidence of nausea and vomiting, skin pruritus and urinary retention were significantly decreased, the extubation time was shortened, and the time of the first postoperative requirement for rescue analgesia was prolonged in group SG ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with general anesthesia alone, SAPB combined with general anesthesia can not only significantly reduce intraoperative general anesthetics and opioid consumption, but also improve postoperative stress management, which is helpful for early postoperative outcome when used for thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of ulinastatin on the postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in the patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).Methods:Medical records from patients scheduled for elective OPCABG from September 2021 to August 2023 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into ulinastatin and control groups based on the intraoperative use of ulinastatin. Confounding factors were adjusted using propensity score matching and an extended Cox proportional hazards model. The primary outcome was the development of PPCs within 30 days after surgery, and secondary outcomes included length of stay in intensive care unit, length of hospital stay and occurrence of other adverse events.Results:A total of 1 532 patients were included in this cohort study, and 585 cases (38.2%) experienced PPCs. Compared with control group, the incidence of PPCs was significantly decreased (before matching: 42.7% vs. 35.2%, P=0.004; after matching: 42.2% vs. 35.6%, P=0.033), the incidence of acute kidney injury was decreased and no significant differences were found in the length of stay in intensive care unit, length of hospital stay and incidence of other adverse events in ulinastatin group ( P>0.05). In the extended Cox proportional hazard model before and after adjustment for confounding factors, the risk of PPCs was significantly reduced after the use of ulinastatin ( HR value before adjustment was 0.81, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.67-0.99, P=0.004; the HR value after adjustment was 0.79, 95% CI 0.65-0.96, P=0.022). The risk of PPCs was significantly decreased in patients aged >65 yr and at high risk of PPCs after using ulinastatin ( HR=0.667, 95% CI 0.542-0.821, P<0.001; hR value was 0.641, 95% CI 0.516-0.812, P<0.001). Conclusions:The intraoperative use of ulinastatin is helpful in decreasing the risk of PPCs in patients undergoing OPCABG.

Objective To establish male rat models for fertility following liver transplantation. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used as the donors and recipients of liver transplantation. The donor liver was transplanted with two-cuff technique. Liver transplantation was performed in 15 male SD rats. At 3 weeks after liver transplantation, 5 rats were randomly sacrificed for detection of sperm deformity rate. The remaining male rats were mixed bred and mated with healthy female SD rats at a ratio of 1︰2. General conditions of the rats undergoing liver transplantation were recorded. Liver function parameters were detected after liver transplantation. Postoperative sperm deformity rate was observed. The pregnant status of female rats and health situation of their offsprings was monitored. Results All 15 rats (100%) underwent liver transplantation successfully. Nine rats (9/10) survived longer than 8 weeks. Liver function parameters were normal in male rats following liver transplantation. The sperm deformity rate was ranged from 0.5% to 1.3%. Ten male rats undergoing liver transplantation were mixed bred with female rats at a ratio of 1︰2 for 1 week. All female rats were successfully mated and delivered their offsprings after 3 weeks. The offsprings had no evident physiological deformity. Conclusions Male rat models for fertility are successfully established after liver transplantation, which serve as an animal model to evaluate the fertility performance in male patients undergoing liver transplantation.
