Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane postconditioning on intestinal ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Thirty-six adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-220 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =9 each):sham operation group (group Sham),group I/R,ischemic postconditioning group (group Ipo) and sevoflurane postconditioning group (group Sevo).Intestinal I/R was induced by clamping the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for 60 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion in groups I/R,Ipo and Sevo.In group Ipo the animals were subjected to 3 cycles of 30 min reperfusion-30 min ischemia starting from the beginning of reperfusion.The animals inhaled 1.15％ sevoflurane for 30 min starting from the beginning of reperfusion in group Sevo.The animals were sacrificed at 120 min of reperfusion and then the small intestines were removed for determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (by colorimetric method) and caspase-3 protein expression in intestinal tissues (by Western blot).The density of apoptotic cells was calculated by TUNEL.Results Compared with group Sham,the intestinal injury score,density of apoptotic cells and MDA content were significantly increased,SOD activity was decreased,and caspase-3 protein expression was up-regulated in groups I/R,Ipo and Sevo (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group l/R,the intestinal injury score,density of apoptotic cells and MDA content were significantly decreased,SOD activity was increased,and caspase-3 protein expression was down-regulated in groups Ipo and Sevo (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the intestinal injury score,density of apoptotic cells,SOD activity,MDA content and caspase-3 protein expression between Sevo and Ipo groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Sevoflurane postconditioning can attenuate intestinal I/R injury through reducing lipid peroxidation and cell apoptosis in rats,and the protective effect is similar to that of ischemic post-conditioning.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of a series of cytokines and peripheral blood immunocyte subsets before and after immunosuppressive therapy in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).Methods The percentages of immunocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of 20 patients with ITP and 20 healthy controls were detected by flow cytometry,including CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,CD1~.ELISA was applied to detect the level of serum TNFα,IL-2,IL-6,IL-4,IL-10,IL-11,IL-17,IL-27,transforming growth factor β (TGFβ),thrombopoietin (TPO) of 20 patients with ITP and 20 healthy controls.Results The percentage of CD3+ T lymphocyte,CD4+ T lymphocyte and the ratio of CD4+ / CD8+ T lymphocyte in patients with ITP were lower than those in healthy controls [(62.66 ± 6.58) ％ vs (69.93 ± 4.81) ％,(29.46 ± 5.02) ％ vs (39.08 ± 3.50) ％,0.97 ± 0.35 vs 1.56 ± 0.26,all P ＜ 0.05].After immunosuppressive therapy,the percentage of CD3+ T lymphocyte,CD4+ T lymphocyte and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T lymphocyte [(71.49 ±5.16)％,(39.25 ±3.21)％ and 1.56 ±0.28] recovered to the same levels in healthy controls.The percentage of CD8+ T lymphocyte and CD19+ B lymphocyte in patients with ITP were higher than those in the healthy controls [(30.28 ±4.63)％ vs (25.90±3.06)％,(18.92 ± 4.27)％ vs (13.17 ± 3.64)％,all P ＜ 0.05].After treatment of immunosuppressive therapy,the percentage of CD8+ T lymphocyte and CD19+ B lymphocyte [(25.16 ± 3.45) ％ and (11.98 ± 3.68) ％] recovered to the similar levels in healthy controls.The serum levels of IL-4,IL-6,IL-11,IL-17 and TPO in patients with ITP were significantly higher than those in healthy controls.While TGFβ level was significantly decreased.There was no significant difference of IL-27 between ITP patients and healthy controls.After the treatment of immunosuppressive therapy,IL-4,IL-6,IL-11,IL-17,TPO and TGFβ were down-regulated while IL-27 was up-regulated.There was no significant difference of IFNγ,TNFα,IL-2 and IL-10 among ITP patients before or after immunosuppressive therapy and healthy controls.Conclusions The present study suggests that the aberrant immunocyte subsets and cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of ITP.Hyper-function of Th2 and Th17,dysfunction of Treg cells,up-regulation of IL-27,IL-11,TPO and other factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of ITP.

Objective To observe the changes of abdominal oxygen saturation in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI)with feeding intolerance (FI)within 1 4 days after birth monitored by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).Methods VLBWI fitting entry criteria were enrolled into this study.NIRS monitoring was carried out to detect cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2 )and abdominal oxygen saturation (SsO2 ).Data were analyzed between FI infants and feeding tolerance (FT)infants.FI was defined as follows:gastric residual of more than 50% of the previous feeding volume;emesis or abdominal distention or both;decrease,delay or discontinuation of enteral feedings. Results 93 VLBWI were enrolled.52 cases(55.91 %)presented with FI,including 29 cases(31 .1 9%)of gastric residual increasing and 23 cases(24.73%)of emesis with or without abdominal distention within 1 4 days after birth. The levels of SsO2 and SsO2 /ScO2 showed no differences in infants with FT and with FI within 24h after birth (P >0.05).The change rates of the median of SsO2 and SsO2 /ScO2 in FT infants were similar during 1 4 days (P >0.05).While both the change rates of SsO2 and SsO2 /ScO2 were markedly decreased 1 day before and the day of FI (P <0.01 ).The decreasing degree of SsO2 was similar between infants with gastric residual increasing and infants with emesis with or without abdominal distention[(1 6.2 ±5.1 )vs (1 7.4 ±3.6)%,t =0.733,P =0.476]. Conclusion Abdominal oxygen saturation measured by NIRS may be a useful method for infants adjusting the feeding plan.

Objective To investigate effects of different ventilation methods during pulmonary surfactant(PS) administration on cerebral oxygen metabolism in preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.Methods Newborns met the inclusion criteria were enrolled into this study,and they were randomly divided into manual group and mechanical group.During PS administration,the proximal end of the tracheal tube was connected to a bag valve mask device in the manual group or a mechanical ventilator in the mechanical group.Brain near infrared spectroscopy monitoring was carried out to detect the cerebral oxygen saturation(ScO2),and the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) was simultaneously recorded.Results For all 49 preterm infants,PS was administered to preterm infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome treated with mechanical ventilation,including 24 cases of manual ventilation and 25 cases of mechanical ventilation.The left cerebral ScO2 and correlation coefficient of ScO2 and MABP(rScO2-MABP) showed no difference in both groups before PS administration.During administration,ScO2 dramatically increased in both groups [manual group:(85.88 ± 5.54) ％ vs.(77.31 ± 5.40) ％,t =5.521,P =0.000;mechanical group:(83.88 ± 3.18) ％ vs.(76.53 ±4.38)％,t =6.741,P =0.000],and gradually decreased after administration,the level of ScO2 didn't return to the baseline till the 2nd 5 minutes after PS administration [manual group:(79.25 ± 3.02) ％ vs.(77.31 ± 5.40) ％,t =1.560,P =0.220;mechanical group:(78.59 ± 3.45) ％ vs.(76.53 ± 4.38) ％,t =1.832,P =0.074].The same trend of ScO2 change rate was shown simultaneously in both groups.The rScO2-MABP markedly increased during administration in both groups (manual group:2.34 ±0.16 vs.1.86 ±0.21,t =9.022,P =0.000;mechanical group:2.12 ± 0.15 vs.1.87 ±0.21,t =4.810,P =0.000).The rScO2-MABt,in mechanical group rapidly decreased to baseline during the 1st5 minutes (1.84 ± 0.18 vs.1.87 ± 0.21,t =0.538,P =0.635) but went back to baseline in manual group during the 2nd 5 minutes(1.84 ±0.19 vs.1.86-0.21,t =0.350,P =0.809).Change rates of rScO2-MABP were markedly higher in manual group than those in mechanical group during the 1 st 5 minutes (1.15 ± 0.13 vs.1.00 ± 0.15,t =4.943,P =0.000).Conclusions ScO2 could be affected transiently by PS administration with different methods of ventilation.The effect on cerebral autoregulation in mechanical group is shorter than that in manual group.

Objective To explore the depression status of the liver transplant recipients after the surgery and the impact factors.Method Forty two liver transplant recipients were assessed at 5 different time points(1 month,6 months,12 months, 24 months,36 months after the transplantation)using general information questionnaire(GIQ),social support rating scale(SSRS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS).Results After the transplantation,the longer recipients lived,the less depression they underwent.Age and post-operative objective support are the two major factors on depression status of the liver transplant recipients Conclusion The clinical and community nurses may pay attention to the mind state of the recipients after liver transplantation,and provide mental nursing in time and social support to prevent and improve the state of their depression.

Objective To compare the effects of dual-wavelength spectrophotometry and HPLC on the content of trimethoprim(TMP)in Compound Dihydroartemisinin Tablets.Methods HPLC was performed in a column of C 18 with acetonitrile and 0.75% diethylamine(15∶85,adjusting pH to 2.5 by phosphoric acid)as the mobile phase and the detecting wavelength was at 271nm.The detecting wavelength was also at 271nm with reference wavelength at 366nm in dual-wavelength spectrophotomerty.Results Within 20.0～100.0 ?g/mL,TMP has a good linearity(r=0.999 94)by HPLC,and the average recovery was 100.9% with RSD being0.24%(n=5).By dual-wavelength spectrophotometry,a good linearity(r=0.999 95)of TMP was within 5.0～25.0 ?g/mL,and the average recovery was 100.0% with RSD being 0.45%(n=5).Conclusion Both dual-wavelength spectrophotometry and HPLC can be used to determine the content of TMP in Compound Dihydroartemisinin Tablets,but the former can detect the content of TMP directly without the disturbance of piperaquine phosphate and is simple,rapid and accurate.

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxic preconditioning on learning and memory and the possible protective mechanism in mice with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Healthy adult male Kunming mice were randomly divided into five groups by Random number table:normal group( N group),hypoxic preconditioning group (HPC group),sham operation group (C group),ischemia-reperfusion group(O group),hypoxic preconditioning and ischemia-reperfusion group(HPC+O group).HPC+O group were given hypoxic preconditioning before 24h of ischemia-reperfusion.The escape latency was detected by Morris water maze and the neuron apoptosis of CA 1 area of hippocampal was determined by immunofluores-cence techniqueR.e sults The escape latency in HPC+O group on the second,third and fourth day of MWM was (39.92±4.52)s,(30.98±2.44)s,(19.69±4.27)s,and significantly lower than that in O group((54.35± 3.66)s,(46.31±4.81)s,(36.81±3.86)s).Mice in HPC+O spent longer time in the target quadrant than that in O group((36.44±5.33)%and(24.5±2.59)%,respectively, P<0.05).Immunofluorescence showed that the apoptotic ration of nerve cells in hippocampal CA 1 was significantly lower than that in O group ( 11.7 ± 0.14 and 1.35±0.14, P<0.05).Conclusion Hypoxic preconditioning can increase hippocampal CA1 neurons hypoxia tolerance of ischemia reperfusion injury in mice,and reduce the incidence of neural cell apoptosis.

Objective To compare the application of Shikani optical stylet(SOS)and Clarus Video Sty-let(Tracway)in patient with cervical spine immobilization in tracheal intubation. Method Sixty patients,ASAⅠ~Ⅱ,undergoing cervical internal fixation operation,were randomly divided into Shikani optical stylet group (Group S,n = 30)and Clarus Video Stylet group(Group T,n = 30). MAP,HR and RPP(The rate-pressure product)were recorded at the point before induction of anesthesia(T1),before intubation(T2),at the immediate time of intubation(T3)and 1 min(T4),3 mins(T5),and 5 mins after intubation(T6).The intubation time,one-time success rate of intubation,the number of intubation times and the incidence of sore throat and other complica-tions were observed. Results The one-time intubation time in group S was obviously shorter than that in group T (P<0.05).The incidence of mild sore throat and intubation throat injury rate were lower in group S than those in group T(P<0.05).Compared with those at T1,MAP and RPP decreased significantly at point of T2~T6in both of two groups(P<0.05).There was no significantly difference in MAP,HR and RPP at any points of time between the two groups. The one-time success rate of intubation,the number of intubation times and the incidence of air-way complications in two groups(P>0.05)were no significantly different. Conclusions Compared with Clarus Video Stylet(Tracway),Shikani optical stylet can shorten the intubation time in patients with cervical spine immo-bilization,but no difference was found in regard to the hemodynamic influence on intubation,success rate of intu-bation,the intubation times,the sore throat and the other related complications.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided adductor canal approach to nerve block using one-puncture four-point technique for analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:Sixty patients of both sexes, aged 65-80 yr, with body mass index of 18-27 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱor Ⅲ, scheduled for elective unilateral TKA under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study.Peripheral nerve block was performed for postoperative analgesia under ultrasound guidance.All the patients were allocated into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: adductor canal block combined with posterior approach to sciatic nerve block group (group ASB) and adductor canal approach to nerve block using one-puncture four-point technique including sciatic nerve, medial vastus muscle nerve, saphenous nerve, anterior femoral cutaneous nerve at adductor canal level group (group ANSB). When visual analogue scale score ≥4 during postoperative movement, ketorolac tromethamine 0.6 mg/kg was intravenously injected as rescue analgesic. The muscle strength of quadriceps on the affected side, range of knee joint motion and rate of the ability to walk for 10 m using the walker were recorded at 2, 8, 24 and 48 h after surgery.The consumption of analgesics for rescue analgesia, manipulation completion time, length of hospital stay and patients′ satisfaction score were recorded within 48 h after surgery. Results:Compared with group ASB, the consumption of ketorolac tromethamine was significantly reduced, manipulation completion time and length of hospital stay were shortened, patients′ satisfaction scores were increased, and the range of knee joint motion and rate of the ability to walk for 10 m using the walker were increased at 2, 8, 24 and 48 h after surgery in group ANSB ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in muscle strength of quadriceps between two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided adductor canal approach to nerve block using one-puncture four-point technique provides better efficacy than adductor canal block combined with posterior approach to sciatic nerve block when used for analgesia after TKA.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and risk factors of deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods:The clinical data of RA patients who were hospi-talized in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of Aerospace Center Hospital from May 2015 to September 2021 was retrospectively analyzed,including demographic characteristics,concomitant diseases,laboratory examinations(blood routine,biochemistry,coagulation,inflammatory markers,rheumatoid factor,antiphospholipid antibodies and lupus anticoagulant,etc.)and treatment regimens.The patients were compared according to the presence or absence of DVT,and the t test,Mann-Whitney U test or Chi-square test were applied to screen for relevant factors for DVT,followed by Logistic regres-sion analysis to determine risk factors for DVT in patients with RA.Results:The incidence of DVT in the RA patients was 9.6％(31/322);the median age of RA in DVT group was significantly older than that in non-DVT group[64(54,71)years vs.50(25,75)years,P＜0.001];the level of disease activity score using 28 joints(DAS28)-erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)in DVT group was higher than that in non-DVT group[5.2(4.5,6.7)vs.4.5(4.5,5.0),P＜0.001];the incidence of hypertension,chronic kidney disease,fracture or surgery history within 3 months,and varicose veins of the lower ex-tremities in DVT group was higher than that in non-DVT group(P＜0.001).The levels of hemoglobin and albumin in DVT group were significantly lower than that in non-DVT group(P=0.009,P=0.004),while the D-dimer level and rheumatoid factor positive rate in DVT group were significantly higher than that in non-DVT group(P＜0.001).The use rate of glucocorticoid in DVT group was higher than that in non-DVT group(P=0.009).Logistic regression analysis showed that the age(OR=1.093,P＜0.001),chronic kidney disease(OR=7.955,P=0.005),fracture or surgery history with-in 3 months(OR=34.658,P=0.002),DAS28-ESR(OR=1.475,P=0.009),and the use of glu-cocorticoid(OR=5.916,P=0.003)were independent risk factors for DVT in RA patients.Conclu-sion:The incidence of DVT in hospitalized RA patients was significantly increased,in addition to tradi-tional factors,such as age and chronic kidney disease,increased DAS28-ESR level and the use of glu-cocorticoid were also independent risk factors for DVT.
