Objective To evaluate the effect of facemask ventilation with different pressures on perioperative complications in the patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods Seven-ty-five American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 18-24 kg∕m2 , scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups ( n=25 each) using a random number table method: 10 cmH2 O group ( group P10) , 15 cmH2 O group ( group P15) and 20 cmH2 O group ( group P20) . The pres-sure for facemask ventilation was 10, 15 and 20 cmH2 O during induction of anesthesia in group P10, group P15 and group P20, respectively. Before facemask ventilation ( T0 ) and at 180 s of facemask ventilation ( T1 ) , longitudinal and anteroposterior diameters of the antral area in the supine position were measured u-sing ultrasonography, the antral cross-sectional area was calculated, and the development of serious flatu-lence was recorded. The development of hypoxemia, tidal volume and end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide in each group were recorded at T1 . The operation time and occurrence of postoperative flatulence and nausea and vomiting were recorded. Results Compared with group P10, the incidence of serious flatulence and postoperative flatulence and nausea and vomiting was significantly increased, and the incidence of hypox-emia was decreased in group P15 and group P20, and tidal volume was increased at T1 in group P20 ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group P15, the incidence of serious flatulence was significantly increased ( P<0. 05) , and no significant change was found in the incidence of hypoxemia and postoperative flatulence and nausea and vomiting in group P20 ( P>0. 05) . There was no significant difference in the end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide at T1 or antral cross-sectional area at T0 and T1 among the three groups ( P>0. 05) . Con-clusion Pressure of 10-15 cmH2 O for facemask ventilation is optimal during induction of general anesthe-sia and can ensure adequate oxygen supply and reduce perioperative complications in the patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are a severe autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. NMOSD complicated with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is rare. This paper reports a case of NMOSD who was misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis for many years, and then developed thrombocytopenia. ITP was diagnosed by perfect examination. After immunosuppression and thrombopoiesis therapy, the platelets returned to normal. The review of the case and literatures can help to improve the understanding of this kind of disease, timely diagnose and treat patients, and avoid serious complications.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of lenalidomide combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone (RVd) regimen in treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients and its effect on the levels of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) and natural killer (NK) cells.Methods:Thirty-eight NDMM patients who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from September 2019 to May 2022 were selected for a prospective study, and were divided into control group (18 cases) and observation group (20 cases) according to random number table method. The control group was treated with bortezomib+epirubicin+dexamethasone (VAd) regimen, and the observation group was treated with RVd regimen. The efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups. The levels of Treg cells (CD4 + CD25 + FOXP3 +) and NK cells (CD3 - CD56 + CD16 +) before and after treatment in the two groups were detected by flow cytometry, and the results were compared. Results:After 4 courses of treatment, the objective response rate (ORR) of the observation group was 95.0% (19/20), which was higher than that of the control group [77.8% (14/18)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.016). Before treatment, there was no statistical difference in the levels of Treg cells and NK cells between the two groups ( P values were 0.381 and 0.650). After treatment, the level of Treg cells in the control group increased from (1.5±0.5)% before treatment to (4.7±1.3)% ( P = 0.008), while the level of Treg cells in the observation group increased from (1.4±0.5)% before treatment to (6.8±1.5)% ( P = 0.001), and the level in the observation group was higher than that in the control group ( P = 0.027); the level of NK cells in the control group increased from (16±6)% before treatment to (20±5)% ( P = 0.004), while the level of NK cells in the observation group increased from (16±6)% before treatment to (24±6)% ( P = 0.006), and the level in the observation group was higher than that in the control group ( P = 0.032). The incidence rates of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P values were 0.012 and 0.027), which was reversible after active treatment. There was no statistical difference in the incidence rates of other adverse reactions (all P>0.05). Conclusions:RVd regimen for NDMM is clinically effective, safe and reliable, and the patients' levels of Treg cells and NK cells elevate after treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine before induction of anesthesia on concentrations of blood potassium and blood glucose in the patients with gastrointestinal tumors.Methods:One hundred and twenty patients, irrespective of gender, aged 18-75 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ-Ⅲ, scheduled for elective radical gastrointestinal tumor surgery, were divided into 3 groups ( n=40 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg group (group D 1), and dexmedetomidine 1.0 μg/kg group (group D 2). Dexmedetomidine 0.5 and 1.0 μg/kg were intravenously infused prior to anesthesia induction over 10 min in D 1 and D 2 groups, while the equal volume of normal saline 20 ml was intravenously infused instead in group C. Before intravenous infusion (T 0), at 15 min after intravenous infusion (T 1), and at 30 min after intravenous infusion (T 2), blood samples from the radial artery were collected for blood gas analysis, and concentrations of blood potassium and blood glucose were recorded. The occurrence of complications such as hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypotension, hypertension, tachycardia and bradycardia was also recorded. Results:Compared with C group, the blood glucose concentrations were significantly increased at T 1 in D 1 and D 2 groups and at T 2 in D 2 group ( P<0.05). The blood glucose concentrations were significantly higher at T 1, 2 in D 2 group than in D 1 group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in blood potassium concentrations at T 0-T 2 among the three groups ( P>0.05). No patients presented with complications such as hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypotension, hypertension, tachycardia and bradycardia. Conclusions:Intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine before induction of anesthesia exerts no marked effect on blood potassium concentrations and can increase glucose concentrations to a certain extent, but the elevation has no clinical significance in the patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
