Objective To investigate the sedative effects and the adverse reactions in the elderly patients received different speed of dexmedetomidine (Dex) intravenous infusion. Methods Eighty elderly cases were randomly divided into four groups. Group D0 was the control group, while the group D1, D2 and D3 were the trial groups. The heart rates, blood pressure, SpO2, Ramsay sedation score and Narcotrend value were recorded. Results The sedation onset time of the D2, D3 group was faster than those in the D0 and D1 groups (P <0.05, respectively), and the duration of sedation in groups D2 and D3 were significantly longer than that in the D0 and D1 groups (P < 0.05). Among the four groups, no significant differences in the incidence of hypotension or bradycardia needed vasopressors or atropine to treat and oxygen saturation were shown (P > 0.05). Conclusion Intravenous infusion of Dex by doses of 0.75 ~ 1.0 μg/(kg·h) during hip surgery in the elderly patients under spinal anesthesia could lead to a safe and effective sedation.

Objective To analyze the effect of salvia tetramethylpyrazine on hemorheology in patients with vertebrobasilar transient ischemia attack (VB-TIA). Methods 84 patients with VB-TIA were divided into observation group and control group, 42 cases in each group. They both received the treatment of Ginkgo-diyidamolum injection. The observation group were treated by salvia tetramethylpyrazine, and the control group were treated by compound Danshen injection. The therapeutic effect of the two groups and the changes of blood rheology were compared. Results The clinical remission rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the time of onset and symptoms of the drug were shorter than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The blood flow velocity of vertebral basilar artery in the two groups were significantly higher than those in the observation group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the hemorheology of the two groups were significantly improved, the high shear viscosity and low shear viscosity, platelet aggregation rate, erythrocyte deformation index, erythrocyte aggregation index and blood haematocrit of observation group improved more obviously (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups was not statistically significant. Conclusion Salvia tetramethylpyrazine could effectively shorten the drug onset time, improve the blood velocity of vertebrobasilar artery, recover blood rheology and stability on the condition of not increasing the adverse reactions, which has a positive effect on the clinical remission rate.

Objective To investigate the sedative effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine with mid-azolam in spinal anesthesia. Methods 130 cases of spinal anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups,group D1 and group D2,with 65 cases in each group. Patients in 2 groups were given midazolam and dexmedetomidine with different doses. The heart rates ,blood pressure ,SpO2 ,Narcotrend value and Ramsay sedation scores were recorded at mutiple time points. The working time ,maintaining time of sedative effect ,and adverse reactions were compared between 2 groups. Results MAP,HR and NT decreased significantly in 2 groups(P < 0.05,respec-tively). The keeping time was relatively longer in group D1 compared with group D2(P<0.05). The working time was faster in group D2 compared with group D1. The rate of bradycardia in group D2 was relatively higher than that in group D1. Conclusion Good sedative effect can be obtained by drug in 2 groups. Group D1,with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg+dexmedetomidine 0.3μg/kg,may have a certain advantage in anaesthesia in the spinal canal.

Objective To study the response characteristics of left and right brain to signals from left(LVF) and right(RVF) visual fields during cognitive activity. Method ERPs at 9 locations to LVF and RVF signals were compared in 23 normal subjects in 3 task conditions:looking forward only (VC); making switch response to target signals(T) only(SR); making switch response to T differentially(DR). Result (1)Significant difference in ERPs was found between that induced by LVF and RVF signals on left brain especially at frontal location(F5), which appeared as slow negative deflection induced by T and NT from RVF in SR and DR;(2) Condition-dependent unsymmetrical features between left and right brain were found: the slow potential at F5 was significantly more negative in T and contralateral spatial relation(i.e., left brain for RVF) but more positive in NT and ipsilateral relation than that at F6.Conclusion Signals with psychological meaning in RVF might cause more psychological load as suggested by the results obtained in this study.

Objective To explore the polarization and proliferation of naive CD4+TT cells after preincubation with interleukin-2. Methods The expression of suppressor of cytokine signal (SOCS)-3 was detected by the real-time PCR in the naive T lymphocytes of DO11.10 TCR transgenic and C57BL/6N mice after they were preincubated by 50 U/ml of IL-2. The naive CD4+T T lymphocytes preincubated for 4 h by IL-2 were stimulated with ovalbumin (OVA) and inactivated BALB/c spleen cells, respectively. After 14 d, IL-12Rβ1, IL-12β2 and cytoplasm IL-4 (cyIL-4) were detected by flow cytometry. Results SOCS-3 in the naive CD4+T lymphocytes of DO11. 10 TCR transgenic and C57BL/6N mice reached the peak after preincu- bated by IL-2 for 6 h. The polarization to TH1 and the proliferation ability of naive CD4+ T lymphocytes stimulated with specific antigen and allogeneic antigen were inhibited conspicuously during the time of the peak of SOCS-3. Conclusion The expression of SOCS-3 in naive CD4+T lymphocytes can be upregulated by IL-2. The upregulation of SOCS-3 can suppress the polarization to TH1and the proliferation ability of naive CD4+T lymphocytes stimulated by specific antigen and allogeneic antigen.

Objective: To evaluate whether human NK cells expanded in vitro can be used as carrier cells of reovirus and to investigate its clinical application value. Methods: Expansion of human NK cells in vitro, and flow cytometry was used to analyse the purity of CD3-CD56+ cells. Expanded NK cells were loaded with reovirus and observed by confocal microscopy, to determining the location of reovirus on NK cells. CCK-8 assay was used to detect reovirus-induced oncolysis of expanded NK cells carrying reovirus (Reo-NK) to tumor cells in the presence of neutralizing antibodies; Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to assess the relative expression of viral RNA in tumor cells. Cytotoxicity assay were performed to detect Reo-NK cells against KRAS mutant (DLD-1) and KRAS wild type (CaCo-2, HT29) colorectal cancer cell lines, ELISA matched paired antibodies assay was performed to measure the perforin level released by NK cells. Results: Confocal microscopy demonstrated that NK cells retained reovirus on the surface. Expanded NK cells could delivery reovirus to tumor cells in the presence of neutralizing antibodies, and the reovirus after delivery still had significant oncolytic activity (P<0.01); Corresponding qPCR result displayed that the expression of viral RNA in tumor cells significantly increased over time (P<0.01). Compared with NK group, Reo-NK group evidently enhanced the cytotoxicity on colorectal cancer cell lines with both KRAS gene mutant and wild (all P<0.05), and significantly increased the release of perforin (all P<0.05). Conclusion: In vitro expanded NK cells provide a convincing cell carrier for reovirus, while reovirus enhances the cytotoxicity of NK cells, and the combination of the two show a stronger killing effect on colorectal cancer cells,that has important clinical application value.
