Objective To explore the regulatory effect of Nervilia fordii Injection ( NFI ) on inflammatory cytokines in rats with lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) -induced acute lung injury ( ALI) , and to explore its possible interfering mechanism . Methods The rats were randomly divided into normal group , model group , Shenmai Injection group, and NFI group. J774 macrophages were stimulated by LPS to establish the cell model in vitro, and in vivo ALI rat model was established by injection of LPS through the sublingual veins. Electronic microscope and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used for observing the proliferation of J774 macrophages, the levels of supernatant inflammatory cytokines secreted by J774 cells, and the levels of serum inflammatory cytokines . Results The proliferation of LPS-induced J774 macrophages was increased , and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines was disordered. Uncontrolled inflammatory reaction occurred in the lung after the rats were administrated with intravenous injection of LPS . Both NFI and Shenmai Injection could inhibit the proliferation of J774 macrophages. NFI could also significantly inhibit the levels of supernatant and serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -α and interleukin 6 (IL-6) expression (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and it could increase the level of supernatant IL-10 (P<0.01) and decrease the level of serum interleukin 10 (IL-10) in rats (P<0.05), but couldn’t regulate the secretion of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) (P>0.05). Conclusion NFI has better preventive and therapeutic effect for ALI than Shenmai Injection, and its possible mechanism is related with the inflammatory regulation and lung injury relief through the suppression of excessive expression of TNF-α and IL-6 .

Objective:
To establish a microwave digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assay for simultaneous determination of multiple elements in placenta.
Methods:
Fresh placental tissues were dried at 60 ℃ for 15 h and ground into power. Then, 0.3 g homogenized samples were digested in a microwave digestion system. The interference from mass spectrometry was removed using the kinetic energy discrimination model in the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and the baseline interference was removed by online internal standards. The contents of 17 elements were determined in placental specimens using the established microwave digestion -inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assay, including V, Ni, Co, Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn, As, Sn, Sb, Ba, Se, Cd, Pb, Hg and Tl.
Results:
Good linearity was shown for V, Ni, Co, Cr, As, Se, Cd, Pb and Tl at 1 to 50 µg/L, Fe at 100 to 5 000 µg/L, Zn, Cu, Mn and Ba at 10 to 500 µg/L, Sn and Sb at 0.1 to 5 µg/L, and Hg at 0.2 to 2 µg/L, with all correlation coefficients of 0.999 8 and higher. The detection limits of these 17 elements ranged from 0.5 to 100 μg/kg, with relative standard deviations of 2.1% to 6.5%, and recovery rates of 83.3% to 110.0%. The determination results of 17 elements were all within the normal reference range defined in the certified reference materials of chicken (GBW10018).
Conclusions
The microwave digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry established based on optimized pretreatments and mass spectrometry detection conditions, is feasible for simultaneous determination of multiple elements in placenta.

Objective To investigate the clinical safety and feasibility of thoracic sympathectomy in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis based on ambulatory surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis of 74 patients who underwent thoracoscopic sympathectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from January 2017 to April 2021 was performed, including 35 males and 39 females aged 12-38 (21.32±4.13) years. Patients were divided into two groups according to different treatments. There were 34 patients in a control group (adopting traditional surgery), and 40 patients in an observation group (adopting ambulatory surgery). The clinical effects of the two groups were compared. Results No massive bleeding, conversion to thoracotomy, postoperative pneumo-thorax or severe pneumonia occured in all patients. Univariate analysis of intraoperative indexes showed that the two groups had no statistical difference in total hospitalization cost, operation time, anesthesia time or postoperative waiting time (P>0.05). The amount of intraoperative blood loss in the observation group was less than that in the control group (P<0.05). The time of postoperative out of bed and recovery of walking capacity and the incidence of electrolyte disturbance in the observation group were shorter or lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in white blood count, neutrophils count or postoperative 24 h pulse oxygen saturation fluctuation peak between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Based on the optimized diagnosis and treatment model, thoraco-scopic sympathectomy with laryngeal mask airway which is performed during ambulatory surgery, is feasible and worth popularizing in thoracic surgery.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of non-intubation anesthesia in thoracic surgery. Methods From September 2017 to December 2019, 296 patients were operated at department of thoracic surgery in our hospital. There were 167 males and 129 females with an average age of 50.69±12.95 years, ranging from 16 to 76 years. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they were intubated: 150 patients were in a non-intubation group, including 83 males and 67 females with an average age of 49.91±13.59 years, ranging from 16 to 76 years, and 146 patients were in an intubation group including 84 males and 62 females with an average age of 51.49±12.26 years, ranging from 16 to 74 years. Intraoperative data, postoperative recovery, inflammatory response of the two groups were compared. Results There was no statistical difference between the two groups in operation time, blood loss, the lowest oxygen saturation or other indicators (P>0.05). But the highest partial pressure of carbon dioxide of the non-intubation group was higher than that of the intubation group (P=0.012). The non-intubation group was superior to the intubation group in postoperative recovery and inflammatory response (P<0.05). Conclusion The non-intubation anesthesia is safe and maneuverable in thoracic surgery, and it has some advantages in accelerating postoperative rehabilitation.
