Objective To investigate the influence of Bupivacaine injection speed on blood pressure of patients undergoing cesarean section.Methods 90 patients(ASAⅠ-Ⅱ)who underwent cesarean section were selected with combined spinal-epidural anesthesia were divided randomly into three groups(20 for each).0.5% bupivacaine 1.4ml(7mg),the speed of injection in group A,group B and group C is 10 seconds,20 seconds,30 seconds.Systolic blood pressure(SBP),Diastolic blood pressure(DBP)and Heart rate(HR)were recorded before anesthesia and 5min,10min,15min and 30min after anesthesia.Cases need to be added epidural drug were all recorded.Results The age,body length and body weight in the three groups has no significant difference,location of injection and posture were same.The best effect of anesthesia was founded in group B,blood pressure(BP)and HR was stable.The effect of anesthesia was better but BP and HR were obviously descent in group A.The block level of anesthesia was unsatisfactory and need to add epidural drug in group C.Conclusion The injection speed of 0.5% bupivacaine 1.4ml in combined spinal-epidural anesthesia is suitable of 20 seconds when patients underwent cesarean section.

Objective To evaluate the role of α2A adrenergic receptor (α2AAR) in dexmedetomidine-induced inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway activation during hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)caused injury to alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells.Methods Type Ⅱ] alveolar epithelial cells of rats RLE6TN cells cultured in vitro were divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table method:control group (group C),H/R injury group (group H/R),dexmedetomidine group (group D) and α2A AR small interfering RNA (siRNA) plus dexmedetomidine group (group α2AAR-siRNA+D).H/R was produced by exposing cells to 1% O2-5% CO2-94% N2 for 24 h followed by 4-h reoxygenation.Cells were incubated for 1 h with dexmedetomidine at the final concentration of 1 nmol/L,and then H/R model was established in group D.In group α2AAR-siRNA+D,cells were transfected with 50 nmol/L α2AAR-siRNA,48 h later dexmedetomidine at the final concentration of 1 nmol/L was added,cells were incubated for 1 h,and then H/R model was established.The cell viability was measured using CCK-8 method,cell apoptosis rate was determined by flow cytometry,and the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB was detected by immunofluorescence.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability was significantly decreased,the apoptosis rate was increased,and the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB was up-regulated in group H/R (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group D (P>0.05).Compared with group H/R,the cell viability was significantly increased,the apoptosis rate was decreased,and the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB was down-regulated in group D (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group α2AAR-siRNA+D (P>0.05).Compared with group D,the cell viability was significantly decreased,the apoptosis rate was increased,and the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB was up-regulated in group α2AAR-siRNA+D (P<0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine inhibits TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway activation may be related to activating α2AAR during H/R-caused injury to alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells.

【Objective】 To explore the challenging blood cross-matching and resolution for multiple myeloma (MM) patients in different disease stages. 【Methods】 For a patient who was first diagnosed as MM and scheduled for blood transfusion, his blood was cross matched with donors’ blood by microcolumn gel method and tube test. When the major side of cross-matching was agglutinated, the patient’s plasma was cross matched with donors’ red blood cell (RBC) by polybrene test, then plasma dilution cross matched with donors’ RBC by microcolumn gel method. For a patient who was diagnosed as recurrent refractory MM and scheduled for blood transfusion, his blood was cross matched with donors’ blood by microcolumn gel method. 【Results】 1) Case 1 was a first-visit outpatient. The major side of microcolumn cross-match test was agglutinated with the shape of fine line. The result of tube method also showed agglutination of major sides, and the rouleaux were detected by the microscopy. Then polybrene method and microcolumn gel method (after plasma diluted) were applied for cross-matching again with the above two donors’ blood and showed compatibility. 2) Case 2 was a recurrent refractory MM patient. The major and minor sides of microcolumn cross-match test were both agglutinated with the shape of granular. The patient was treated with anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. The RBCs, after treated with dithiothreitol (DTT) was used to cross match with patient plasma by microcolumn test, and the result was compatible. 【Conclusion】 Polybrene method and microcolumn gel method after plasma diluted are suitable for blood cross-matching of newly diagnosed MM patients, also for those treated with CD38 monoclonal antibody, as the drug interference with cross-matching can be eliminated by DTT.
