Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(6):578-580
Objective To analysis the consequence of current perception threshold (CPT) by different frequency and time of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Methods CPT of foramen area and arm area was measured to evaluate the effect of TENS. Different frequency and time of TENS was given to 30 healthy volunteers. Stimulating to Hegu, CPT of the foramen area and the arm area on the same side was measured. Results CPT of the foramen area increased with stimulation. Low frequency of TENS inhibited the chronic pain significantly(P<0.05),high frequency of TENS inhibited both of the chronic pain and the acute pain(P<0.05). The inhibition of pain is more influenced by the frequency of TENS than the time of it. Conclusion Channel and point of TENS can influence CPT of the specific reaction area. And the choice of appropriate frequency of the treatment is more important than extending the treatment time alone.

Objective To determine the optimum dose of Oxycodone for anesthesia induction in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Ninety patients, ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ , scheduled for elective LC, were randomly divided into 3 groups using random number table (O 1~O 3 groups, n = 30 each). Anesthesia was induced with iv Propofol 1.00~2.00 mg/kg, Oxycodone 0.20 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg and 0.4 mg/kg (O 1~O 3 groups, respectively), and Vecuronium 0.10 mg/kg. Before anesthesia induction ( T0 ), 1 min after Laryngeal Mask intubating ( T1 ), the instant of pneumoperitoneum ( T2 ), separation of the gallbladder ( T3 ), wake up immediately ( T4 ), leaving the recovery room ( T5 ), the heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded. At T4, leaving the recovery room ( T5 ), 4 hours after the operation ( T6 ), 8 hours after operation (T7), the numeric pain rating scale (NRS) were recorded. The overall amount of remifentanil and Oxycodone were record. The wake up time, additional analgetic cases and the adverse reactions were recorded. Results The average HR, SBP and DBP fluctuations in the O 2 and O 3 groups were not more than 20.00% of the basal values. There was no significant difference in wake up time between the three groups. There were 22 cases of patients, the NRS> 4, in O1 group requires additional analgesics after they wake up, more than O 2 and O 3 group (7, 3 respectively, P < 0.05). The overall Oxycodone consumption of the three groups were O1: (18.93 ± 4.34) mg (0.90~2.60 mg),O2: (25.50 ± 4.49) mg (1.40~3.00 mg), O3: (26.10 ± 4.55) mg (1.80~3.40 mg) (F = 23.79, P = 0.000). There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the three groups, but one patient had respiratory depression in O3 group. Conclusion The optimum dose of Oxycodone for anesthesia inducing in laparoscopic cholecystectomy were 0.30 mg/kg.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of making individualized scanning and contrast injection protocol based on body mass index (BMI) and body weight during dynamic myocardial computed perfusion (CTP) imaging in order to get high-quality images while drastically reducing radiation dose.Methods:A total of 128 patients with coronary heart disease diagnosed by coronary CTA (CCTA) performed CTP from June, 2019 to March, 2020 were prospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into six groups: group 1, BMI<24 kg/m 2, ≤60 kg, 70 kV; group 2,BMI<24 kg/m 2, 61≤kg≤70, 70 kV; group 3, BMI 24-28 kg/m 2, 61≤kg≤70, 80 kV; group 4, BMI 24-28 kg/m 2, 71≤kg≤80, 80 kV; group 5, BMI 24-28 kg/m 2,>80 kg, 80 kV;group 6, BMI>28 kg/m 2,>80 kg, 100 kV. 200 mA was fixed for all patients. Contrast agent with iodine containing 370 mg/ml was used in all patients. The iodine delivery rates (IDR) for each group was 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 2.0 g/s, respectively. The attenuation and noise of left ventricle (LV) and septal myocardial were measured to calculate signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) of the images in each group. The Shapiro-Wilk test was conducted to assess the normality of quantitative data. Quantitative variables were compared using one-way ANOVA if normally distributed. Results:The LV attenuation of the six groups were (506±85), (513±77), (510±81), (456±74), (477±111), (462±43) HU, respectively. There was no significant difference among them ( F=2.249, P=0.054). SNR values of LV were 23±8, 20±5, 21±5, 19±4, 19±7, 19±4, and CNR values were 19±7, 17±4, 17±4, 16±4, 15±6, 15±4, respectively. There were no significant differences among them ( F=1.674, 1.736, all P>0.05). Under a single CTP scan, the radiation dose of 70, 80 and 100 kV groups were 1.6, 2.3 and 4.3 mSv, respectively. The does of the 70 kV group and 80 kV group were significantly lower than that of the 100 kV group, and the dose of the 70 kV group was also significantly lower than that of the 80 kV group (all P<0.001). Conclusions:The application of individualized scanning and contrast agent injection protocol based on IDR is feasible in myocardial CTP with successful image quality, and the radiation dose decreases significantly.

Objective To explore whether emotion regulation mediates the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout in a large sample of nurses, in order to provide a targeted intervention. Methods Chinese Nurses Stressor Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Ruminative Responses Scale were used to investigate 602 nurses working in three tertiary hospitals in Jinan. SPSS 16.0 and AMOS 17.0 software were used to analyze the data. Results Job burnout were positively correlated with stressors, expression suppression and rumination (r=0.112–0.576, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with cognitive reappraisal (r=-0.277, P<0.01). Stressors were positively correlated with expression suppression and rumination (r = 0.140–0.403, P <0.01), and negatively correlated with cognitive reappraisal (r =-0.110, P < 0.01). Occupational stress could make a positive role on job burnout directly. Moreover, in the indirect approach, occupational stress could make a positive role on job burnout through the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal and ruminative, but not expression suppression. Conclusions Cognitive reappraisal and ruminative partially mediated the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout.
