Because of the lymphatic drainage of the neck area level-Ⅰb of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is particular,and skip metastasis in the cervical lymph node is rare,the involved region of level-Ⅰb lymph node metastasis rate is low in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.In the three-dimensional radiotherapy era of precision radiotherapy,there is no consensus on whether level-Ⅰb need to be prophylactic irradiated in the clinic.

Objective To evaluate the effect of preoperative intramuscular injection of of dextromethorphan in three dosages on fentanyl consumption in postoperative PCA in order to optimize its pre-emptive analgesia dose. Methods 80 ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients underwent spine operations under general anesthesia were randomly divided into four groups, who respectively received intramuscular dextromethorphan 10mg (DM10 group), 20mg (DM20 group), 40mg (DM40 group), or normal saline (CON group) respectively. The PCA fentanyl consumption as well as VAS pain scores were observed 4h, 24h, and 48h after the operation. Results Although there was no significant differences in pain VAS score between the four groups, the fentanyl consumption was significantly lower in groups DM20 and DM40 compared with group CON and DM10. However, there was no significant difference between group DM20 and group DM40. Conclusion Preoperative IM dextromethorphan shows a dose-dependant fentanyl spare effect on postoperative PCA, and a dose of 20mg seems to be optimal for preoperative use.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effects of Zibu Piyin Recipe(ZBPYR)serum on neuron apoptosis induced by tunieamyein(Tm,5 μg/ml)and its mechamsm in vitro by using sero-pharmacological method.Method Totally 12 healthy adult male SD rats(220～250 g)(SPF)were divided randomly into control group and ZBPYR group,6 in each group,then the blank and ZBPYR serum were prepared.The mouse.neuroblastoma cell line Neum2a cells were treated with Tunicamycin(Tin,an inhibitor of N-glycoslytion)to establish the endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress model.The cells treated by ZBPYR aerum of different concentrations were interventional groups,and the cells treated by blank serum were control group.The viability of Neuro2a cells was meusurcdd by MTT assay.Flow cytometry wus applied to observe the apoptosis of Neuro2a cells.Western blotting was utilized to detect the protein expressions of two molecules,ER molecular chaperone-ucose regulated protein 78(CRP78)and transcriptional factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein(CHOP).The results were analyzed by sNK-q test.Results Compared to Tm group(cell viability 0.1673±0.0213,apoptotic rate 62.7050±1.4056),The cell viability of interventional groups(5%0.5295±0.0373,10%0.5843±0.0428,15%0.6274±0.0324)increased significantly(P<0.05);and the apoptotic rate(5%47.8733±2.8166,10%46.3366±1.2748,15%39.8833±1.0524)reduced significantly(P<0.05).The protein expressions of GRP 78(5%2.1228±0.2251,10%1.3293±0.9443,15%;15%0.0931±0.1168)and CHOP(5%1.1776±0.2927,10%0.7290±0.1708,15%0.6577±0.1883)of interventional groups reduced significantly compared with Tm group(GRP78 2.9149±0.5355;CHOP 1.6611±0.2913)P<0.05.Condusions ZBPYR serurn could increase the cell viability of Neuro2a cells treated with Tm and inhibit cell apoptosis.Thereby it may have neuroprotective effects,and the mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of ER stress and apoptosis pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of nerve growth factor on the levels of serum S100 protein and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with acute brain injury.Methods 70 cases with acute craniocerebral injury from March 2013 to May 2015 in department of cerebral surgery of Tianjin port hospital were selected and divided into two groups according to random number method.The control group (35 cases) received conventional symptomatic treatment, the study group (35 cases) received conventional treatment on the basis of mouse nerve growth factor for injection, with a consecutive treatment of two weeks.On admission, one and two weeks after admission, the Glasgow coma scale ( GCS) score was recorded, serum S100 beta protein and IL-6 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) and the clinical curative effect of cerebral edema eliminate was compared.Results After two weeks’ treatment, the total efficacy in control group was lower than that in study group (77.14% vs.94.29%) ( P<0.05).The GCS score of two weeks after admission in study group was lower than that in control group, serum levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE), myelin basic protein ( MBP) , S100βprotein and IL-6 of one and two weeks after admission in study group were lower than those in control group ( P<0.05).Conclusion The nerve growth factor could decrease the levels of serum S100βand IL-6 and alleviate inflammation in patients with acute craniocerebral injury and the effect is obvious.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)level and early neurological deterioration (END)in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods From June 2014 to January 2016,the consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke (interval time from onset to admission < 3 days)admitted to the Department of Neurology,Suqian People′s Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. The neurological deficits of all patients were evaluated on the day of admission with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The symptoms of neurological deficits in patients were evaluated repeatedly for all patients within 7 days after admission. Any score increased ≥2 compared with before admission was defined as END. The 226 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled,and they were divided into either an END group (n = 50,22. 1%)or a non-END group (n = 176,77. 9%)according to whether END occurred after acute cerebral infarction. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the differences between the 2 groups. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the HbA1c level and END. Results Compared with the non-END group,there were significant differences in the age,prevalence of diabetes,NIHSS score,hypersensitive C-reactive protein level,rate of ASPECT score 0-7,and serum HbAlc level in the patients of the END group (all P < 0. 05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the elevated hypersensitive C-reaction protein and serum HbA1c levels were the independent risk factors for END of acute cerebral infarction (OR,1. 048 and 1. 809 respectively,95% CI 1. 008 -1. 089 and 1. 429 -2. 292 respectively;P = 0. 018 and 0. 002 respectively). Conclusion The increased serum HbA1c level is an independent risk factor for END of acute cerebral infarction. It has certain predictive value for END.
