Objective To investigate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine in reduce of hyperalgesia in patien with remifentanil anesthesia.Methods 84 patients scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy from December 2014 to April 2016 were selected and randomly divided into two groups: the observation group and the control group,42 cases in each group,two groups were intravenous infusion of remifentanil,propofol and inhaled sevoflurane to maintain anesthesia.In the observation group,0.6μg/kg of dexmedetomidine was given 40minutes before the end of the operation(adding to 100mL 0.9%sodium chloride solution,infusion within 10minutes),the control group was given the same volume of 0.9%sodium chloride solution.The visual analogue scale(VAS)and the bruggrmann comfort scale(BCS)were used to evaluate the postoperative pain and comfort of the two groups of patients at different time points,and compare the incidence of adverse events between the two groups.Results The VAS scores of the two groups were significantly different at 1h(T1),4h(T2)and 24h(T3),and the VAS score of the observation group was significant better than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),the BCS scores of two group were compared at T1 and T2,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups at T3.The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can relieve and prevent the incidence of hyperalgesia and adverse reactions in patients with remifentanil anesthesia,and improve the analgesic effect of postoperative patients.
3.Cases of Clinical Application of Abdominal Acupuncture Combined with Body Acupuncture for Treatment of Allergic Skin Diseases
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;24(3):114-116
In recent years, the incidence of the allergic skin diseases is increasing as the growing of the pressure, the changes of the environment and other factors. The clinical features of the allergic skin diseases are easily repeated and in long course. It is found that the incidence of clinical allergic skin diseases, in addition to the season, diet and emotional relevant, is also closely linked to the physical deterioration of patients. Therefore, in addition to the emphasis on the treatment of the current symptoms of patients, adjustment and treatment of phsical constitution of patients and improvement of the adaptability of patients to environmental changes should attract attention, thereby reducing the frequency of incidence and alleviating the symptoms. The application of the abdominal acupuncture combined with body acupuncture for the improvement of the symptoms and physical constitution of allergic skin disease patients has obvious efficacy, which should be applied and promoted in clinic.

The Journal of Practical Medicine 2015;(7):1099-1101
Objective To demonstrate the effect of bilateral adrenalectomy (ADX) on the susceptibility to NMDA-induced seizure and hippocampal CRH mRNA in young rats. Methods 60 Wistar rats at P10 were divided into control group, ADX group and Sham-ADX group. In the next day after operation, 7 mg/kg NMDA was injected to induce seizure, and incubation period (in minutes) as well as degree was evaluated. In situ hybridization was used to detect hippocampal CRH mRNA expression. Results Latency was (43.65 ± 2.96) minutes in control group, (35.05 ± 2.35)minutes in ADX group and (42.60 ± 1.90)minutes in Sham-ADX group. Latency in the ADX rats increased significantly (F = 73.73, P < 0.05). The seizure scale was (4.40 ± 0.60) in control group, (5.56 ± 0.76) in ADX group and (4.55 ± 0.76) in Sham-ADX group. The severity of seizures in ADX group increased significantly compared with the control and Sham-ADX groups (F = 15.52, P <0.05). CRH mRNA expression was 20% in control group, 55% in ADX group and 15% in Sham-ADX group. CRH mRNA in the ADX group was significantly elevated (χ2 = 9.048, P < 0.05). Conclusion Adrenalectomy exacerbates NMDA-induced spasm seizures in young rats , which might be related to CRH mRNA expression in the hippocampus.
