Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxycodone in patients undergoing microvascular decompression in treating trigeminal neuralgia and oxycodone versus sufentanil on early recovery after microvascular decompression in treating trigeminal neuralgia.Methods Eighty-six patients (38 males, 48 females, aged 18-65 years, BMI 18-30 kg/m2, ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ) scheduled for microvascular decompression in treating trigeminal neuralgia, were randomly divided into either oxycodone group (group O) and sufentanil group (group S) using a random number table, n=43 in each group.All patients received combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia, as well as oxycodone 0.3 mg/kg injected intravenously in group O, sufentanil 0.4 μg/kg injected intravenously in group S for anesthesia induced analgesia.When the epidural was closed, oxycodone 0.07 mg/kg was injected intravenously in group O, sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg was injected intravenously in group S.On preoperative day 1 and 4, 24, 48 hours after surgery, numeric rating scale (NRS) was used to assess the incision pain and facial pain.When NRS scores≥4, oxycodone 3 mg in group O and sufentanil 5 μg in group S was injected intravenously as rescue analgesic.On preoperative day 1 and 3 days after surgery, the global QoR-40 aggregating score was used to assess the quality of patients recovery.The requirement for rescue analgesics was recorded.The occurrences of nausea and vomiting were recorded.Extubation time and discharge were recorded.The other adverse events (bradycardia, dysuria, dizziness and pruritus) were recorded.Results Compared with group S, the physical comfort score, the emotional state score, the psychological support score, the pain score and the global QoR-40 scores were higher in group O 3 days after surgery (P<0.05).Compared with group S, the incidence of nausea and vomiting was significantly lower in group O (20.9% vs 37.2%) (P<0.05).Conclusion In surgery less than 5 hours of microvascular decompression on treating trigeminal neuralgia, oxycodone 0.3 mg/kg can be safely and effectively used for anesthesia induction, oxycodone 0.07 mg/kg and 3 mg can be respectively used for postoperative prophylactic analgesia and remedial analgesia.Compared with sufentanil, oxycodone can improve the quality of recovery during the early period after microvascular decompression on treating trigeminal neuralgia, and decrease the incidence of nausea and vomiting.

Objective To establish nucleic acid testing techniques for detecting Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV), and to test the NiV and HeV in peripheral blood collected from domestic pigs, cows and goats in Chongqing. Methods Peripheral blood samples of 580 domestic pigs, 250 cows, 180 goats were collected from Chongqing since June 2007 to June 2008. The lymphocytes were separated by density gradient centrifugation and total RNA was extracted using Trizol method for detection of NiV and HeV with one-step real-time RT-PCR. Sequence identification and analysis were performed for positive PCR prod-ucts. Virus isolation and culture were adopted for positive samples, and epidemiologic reports were submit-ted. Results Nucleic acid detections searching for NiV and HeV were successfully performed in animal blood samples collected from Chongqing. "Takeoff points" were not found in fluorescence amplification curves of all samples. Curves kept the same slope, and assays were judged as negative. Conclusion Until now, Neither NiV or HeV infection has been found in domestic animals blood samples collected from Chongqing, which suggest a lower possibility of outbreaks of Nipah disease and Hendra disease in Chongqing in the near future.

Objective To develop a novel stress fracture animal model system based on dynamic cyclic mechanical loading.Methods Ulnae and tibiae of rats were respectively fixed using differently shaped fixtures (including a fixed holder and a movable holder).The axial mechanical loading was applied via a linear actuator based on LabVIEW control program.During the loading process,a load cell and a laser displacement transducer were used to detect the force and displacement changes in the limbs,respectively.The two signals were sampled at real time by PC-based LabVIEW data acquisition program.A compressive loading test (peak force of 50 N) was conducted to examine the consistency and reliability of cyclic loads after completing the loading system.The loading system and an ElectroForce 3220 mechanical testing machine were respectively used to measure and compare the Young's modulus of a standard ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)cylinder to calibrate the loading system.Results The compressive loading test (peak force of 50 N) demonstrated that the mechanical loading system was able to apply consistent loads with controllable intensity and time.The calibration experiment indicated the accuracy of the loading system.Conclusion The novel mechanical loading device has characteristics of precision,scientificity and reliability,and it is approaching the real development situation of stress fracture,which may provide a reliable experimental base for exploring the precautionary measures of stress fracture.

[Objective] To evaluate the efficacy of autologous whole blood injections in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria and positive autologous serum skin test (ASST).[[Methods]] After assessment of clinical history,patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria underwent skin prick test (SPT) and ASST.Then,100 patients with positive ASST but negative SPT for common allergens were randomly classified into treatment group (n =60) and control group (n =40).Oral loratadine was given to all the patients with a gradual tapering to the least maintenance dose.Patients in the treatment group were also injected with autologous whole blood once a week for 12 times.Patients were evaluated by urticaria activity score (UAS) and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) at the baseline,the end of the 3rd and 6th month after the initial treatment.The total amount of antihistamines required for the control of urticaria every month was calculated.The UAS,DLQI,accumulative amount of administrated antihistamines,and the diameter of wheal/flush induced by autologous serum were compared by t test before and after the treatment,and the efficacy was compared by rank sum test between the two groups.[Results] No significant difference was observed between the control and treatment group in UAS at the baseline (5.73 ± 0.51 vs.5.32 ± 0.79,P＞ 0.05).The UAS reached 1.57 ± 1.42 and 0.69± 0.92 with a decrease rate of 69％ and 81％ in the treatment group,and 3.65 ± 1.53 and 2.65 ± 1.61 with a decrease rate of 35％ and 53％ in the control group,respectively at the end of the 3rd and 6th month,and statistical difference was observed for the decrease in both groups at the two time points (all P ＜ 0.05).The total amount of antihistamines required for the control of urticaria per month averaged 8.63 pills and 3.83 pills respectively in the treatment group after 3 and 6 months of treatment,significantly less than that in the control group (16.85 and 15.27 pills,respectively).[Conclusion]s The combination of oral antihistamine and autologous whole blood injections can not only reduce disease activity and improve patients' quality of life,but also decrease the total amount of antihistamines required for the control of urticaria.

Objective To compare the effects of different anesthetics on the recovery of neurologi-cal function after intracranial aneurysm embolization. Methods One hundred patients of both sexes with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, aged more than 18 yr, with body mass index of 18. 5-24. 0 kg∕m2 , of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ and WFNS grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ, with the thick-ness of subarachnoid hemorrhage more than 4 cm, were divided into 2 groups (n= 50 each) using a random number table: propofol group (group P) and sevoflurane group (group S). After anesthesia induction, group P received intravenous infusion of propofol 100-300 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 , while the end-tidal sevoflu-rane concentration was maintained at 1. 4％-3. 5％ in group S. Immediately before induction (T0 ), imme-diately after the end of induction (T1 ), immediately after successful embolization of aneurysm (T2 ) and at 1, 2, 3 and 5 days after surgery (T3-6 ), central venous blood samples were collected for determination of plasma neuron-specific enolase and S100β protein concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The development of postoperative cerebral vasospasm and delayed ischemic neurological deficit was recorded. The patients were followed up, and the Glasgow outcome score and occurrence of newly developed cerebral infarction were recorded within 6 months after surgery. Results There was no significant difference in the concentrations of plasma neuron-specific enolase and S100β protein at each time point, incidence of postop-erative cerebral vasospasm and delayed ischemic neurological deficit, or Glasgow outcome score and inci-dence of newly developed cerebral infarction within 6 months after surgery between two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion Propofol and sevoflurane exert no effect on the recovery of neurological function after intracra-nial aneurysm embolization.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of gender on neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium in epileptics.Methods:Forty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients, aged 18-59 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-24.0 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective surgery for treatment of epilepsy under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=20 each) according to gender: male group (group M) and female group (group F). Neuromuscular conduction function was monitored with a muscle relaxation monitor.Ulnar nerve was stimulated in TOF mode (frequency 2 Hz, wave width 0.2 ms, stimulation current 70 mA and interval 12 s). Rocuronium 0.8 mg/kg was injected intravenously during anesthesia induction, and endotracheal intubation was performed when T l reached maximum inhibition.The conditions of endotracheal intubation were evaluated by the modified method.When T 1 recovered to 25% during operation, rocuronium 0.15 mg/kg was intravenously injected.Sugammadex sodium 2 mg/kg was injected intravenously when T 1 recovered to 50% after surgery.The onset time (T onset), peak time (T peak), 10% recovery time (T 10%), 10%-25% recovery time (T 10%-25%), 25%-50% recovery time (T 25%-50%), 50%-75% recovery time (T 50%-75%) and 75%-90% recovery time (T 75%-90%) of rocuronium were recorded.Peripheral venous blood samples (3 ml) were collected when T 1 recovered to 25% and 75%, and the concentration of rocuronium was detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrum.The consumption of rocuronium per unit of weight per minute was calculated. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of T onset, T peak, T 10%, T 10%-25%, T 25%-50%, T 50%-75%, T 75%-90%, endotracheal intubation conditions, blood concentration of rocuronium at varied time points, or consumption of rocuronium per unit of weight per minute ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Gender exerts no effect on the neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium in epileptics.

Compared with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR), extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) can improve the survival rate of patients with cardiac arrest, and reduce the risk of reperfusion injury. However, it is still difficult to avoid the risk of secondary brain damage. Low temperature management has good neuroprotective potential for ECPR patients, which minimizes brain damage. However, unlike CCPR, ECPR has no clear prognostic indicator. The relationship between ECPR combined with hypothermia management-related treatment measure and neurological prognosis is not clear. This article reviews the effect of ECPR combined with different therapeutic hypothermia on brain protection and provides a reference for the prevention and treatment of neurological injury in patients with ECPR.

【Objective】 To objectively evaluate the quality control level of blood testing process in blood banks through quantitative monitoring and trend analysis, and to promote the homogenization level and standardized management of blood testing laboratories in blood banks. 【Methods】 A quality monitoring indicator system covering the whole process of blood collection and supply, including blood donation service, blood component preparation, blood testing, blood supply and quality control was established. The questionnaire Quality Monitoring Indicators for Blood Collection and Supply Process with clear definition of indicators and calculation formulas was distributed to 17 blood banks in Shandong province. Quality monitoring indicators of each blood bank from January to December 2022 were collected, and 31 indicators in terms of blood testing were analyzed using SPSS25.0 software. 【Results】 The proportion of unqualified serological tests in 17 blood bank laboratories was 55.84% for ALT, 13.63% for HBsAg, 5.08% for anti HCV, 5.62% for anti HIV, 18.18% for anti TP, and 1.65% for other factors (mainly sample quality). The detection unqualified rate and median were (1.23±0.57)% and 1.11%, respectively. The ALT unqualified rate and median were (0.74±0.53)% and 0.60%, respectively. The detection unqualified rate was positively correlated with ALT unqualified rate (r=0.974, P<0.05). The unqualified rate of HBsAg, anti HCV, anti HIV and anti TP was (0.15±0.09)%, (0.05±0.04)%, (0.06±0.03)% and (0.20±0.05)% respectively. The average unqualified rate, average hemolysis rate, average insufficient volume rate and the abnormal hematocrit rate of samples in 17 blood bank laboratories was 0.21‰, 0.08‰, 0.01‰ and 0.02‰ respectively. There were differences in the retest concordance rates of four HBsAg, anti HCV and anti HIV reagents, and three anti TP reagents among 17 blood bank laboratories (P<0.05). The usage rate of ELISA reagents was (114.56±3.30)%, the outage rate of ELISA was (10.23±7.05) ‰, and the out of range rate of ELISA was (0.90±1.17) ‰. There was no correlation between the out of range rate, outrage rate and usage rate (all P>0.05), while the outrage rate was positively correlated with the usage rate (r=0.592, P<0.05). A total of 443 HBV DNA positive samples were detected in all blood banks, with an unqualified rate of 3.78/10 000; 15 HCV RNA positive samples were detected, with an unqualified rate of 0.13/10 000; 5 HIV RNA positive samples were detected, with an unqualified rate of 0.04/10 000. The unqualified rate of NAT was (0.72±0.04)‰, the single NAT reaction rate [(0.39±0.02)‰] was positively correlated with the single HBV DNA reaction rate [ (0.36±0.02) ‰] (r=0.886, P<0.05). There was a difference in the discriminated reactive rate by individual NAT among three blood bank laboratories (C, F, H) (P<0.05). The median resolution rate of 17 blood station laboratories by minipool test was 36.36%, the median rate of invalid batch of NAT was 0.67%, and the median rate of invalid result of NAT was 0.07‰. The consistency rate of ELISA dual reagent detection results was (99.63±0.24)%, and the median length of equipment failure was 14 days. The error rate of blood type testing in blood collection department was 0.14‰. 【Conclusion】 The quality monitoring indicator system for blood testing process in Shandong can monitor potential risks before, during and after the experiment, and has good applicability, feasibility, and effectiveness, and can facilitate the continuous improvement of laboratory quality control level. The application of blood testing quality monitoring indicators will promote the homogenization and standardization of blood quality management in Shandong, and lay the foundation for future comprehensive evaluations of blood banks.
