Objective To observe the effects of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride on the cisatracurium-induced neuromuscular blockade in geriatric, young and middle-aged patients. Methods Forty elderly patients and forty young and middle-aged patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=20 each):elderly dexmedetomidine hydrochloride group (group DE),elderly control group (group CE),young and middle-aged dexmedetomidine group (group DY) and young and middle-aged control group (group CY).In groups DE and DY,a loading dose of 0.5 μg?kg-1 dexmedetomidine was intravenously infused over 10 min before induction of anesthesia,respectively,followed by infusion at a rate of 0.4μg?kg-1?h-1 until the end of surgery.Equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride was given in groups CE and CY.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,propofol and cisatracurium 0.15 mg?kg-1.Four groups were maintained with infusion of propofol and remifentanil. Neuromuscular blockade was maintained with continuous cisatracurium infusion in the four groups and was monitored with TOF-Watch SX acceleromyography at the adductor pollicis.The onset time,TOF no reaction period,duration of action,the amount of cisatracurium consumption,and the spontaneous recovery index ( T1 25% to 75%) were recorded. Results The four groups were comparable in the demographic data.Intubation conditions,the onset time and recovery index were not significantly different among the four groups. The duration of blockade action in groups DE and DY was ( 61. 1 ± 8.9) min and (53.6±9.3) min,which was significantly longer than that in group CE [(49.9±5.8) min] and group CY [(44.8± 6.4) min] (P<0.01).The duration of blockade action was significantly longer in groups DE and CE than in groups DY and CY (P<0.05).The amount of cisatracurium consumption in groups CE and CY was significantly higher than that in groups DE and DY (P<0.05). Conclusion The neuromuscular blockade is longer and the requirement of cisatracurium is less in elderly patients than in young and middle-aged patients.Continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride can't accelerate the onset time of cisatracurium.But duration of action is prolonged and the amount of cisatracurium consumption is lower in patients with infusion of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride.

Objective To compare the effects of Ephedrine and combined with small dose cisatracurium treatments on the onset time of cisatracurium and hemodynamics in elderly patients.Methods Sixty cases of elderly patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 4 groups:E group (ephedrine pretreatment),P group (cisatracurium primin),PE group (cisatracurium priming and ephedrine pretreatment) and C group(control),and each group of 15 cases.Cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg were given in P group and PE group,and then ephedrine 70 μg/kg were given in PE group and E group.Anesthesia was induced with target controlled infusion of propofol (target plasma concentration 3-5 pg/ml),fentanyl 3-4 pg/kg.Cisatracurium 0.015 mg/kg were given in E group and C group,and P group and PE group dose intravenous cannula remaining.Tracheal intubation was performed when the twitch height depressed to 0.Results The Onset time of PE,C,E and P group were (164±28) s,(306±61) s,(187±31) s and (193±40) s and there were significant differences(F=33.990,P＜0.01).The onset time of PE group was shorter than that in C,E,P group,and the difference was significant (P＜0.05).Systolic pressure (SBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels in four groups after induction were lower than those before induction (F =35.783,30.015,P =0.000).SBP,diastolic blood pressure (DBP),MAP in PE group and E group were significant higher than those in C group(P＜0.05).After inductions,heart rate(HR) in PE group was significant different form that in C group(P ＜0.05),and HR of C group was significantly decrease than before inductions(P＜0.05).After inductions,the cases with DBP were 11 patients(73.3％) in C group,10 patients(66.7％) in P group:,5 patients(33.3％) in E group,and 4 patients (26.7％) in PE group,the different were significant (x2 =9.867,P ＜ 0.05).After intubation,cases with increase blood press were 3 patients (20.0％) in C group,5 patients(33.3％) in E group,and 4 patients(26.7％) in E group and PE group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Ephedrine of 70 μg/kg can relief the circulatory depression and accelerate the onset time of cisatracurium in the elderly patients.Combined with cisatracurium priming can further shorten the onset time and be for elders.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA),chro-mogranin A(CgA),and lipoprotein related phospholipase A2(LP-PLA2)in serum for major adverse cardio-vascular event(MACE)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 120 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent PCI in the hospital from August 2020 to August 2022 were en-rolled in the study.According to whether MACE occurred within 1 year after PCI,the patients were divided into MACE group(33 cases)and non-MACE group(87 cases).The levels of serum t-PA,CgA,LP-PLA2 and clinical data were compared between the MACE group and the non-MACE group.Multivariate Logistic regres-sion was used to analyze the risk factors of MACE after PCI.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of t-PA,CgA and LP-PLA2 alone or in combination for MACE after PCI.Results The proportion of patients with smoking history,NT-proBNP,CgA,LP-PLA2,and the propor-tion of patients with hypertension in the MACE group were higher than those in the non-MACE group(P＜0.05),while left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and t-PA were lower than those in the non-MACE group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in age,gender composition,serum creatinine,triglyc-erides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),drinking history,NYHA cardiac function classification,combined diabetes,application of aspirin,and application of clopidogrel between the two groups(P＞0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking history,increased NT-proBNP,hypertension,decreased LVEF,decreased t-PA,increased CgA and increased LP-PLA2 were risk factors for MACE after PCI(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves(AUCs)of serum t-PA,CgA and LP-PLA2 alone or in combination for predicting MACE after PCI were 0.785(95％CI:0.693-0.877),0.678(95％CI:0.564-0.791),0.730(95％CI:0.636-0.824),0.888(95％CI:0.830-0.946),respectively.The efficacy of combined prediction was bet-ter than those of single detections(P＜0.05).Conclusion The lower the serum t-PA level is and the higher the CgA and LP-PLA2 levels are,the greater the risk of MACE after PCI is.The combination of the three in-dicators has higher value in predicting MACE after PCI.

Objective: To explore the utility of pharyngeal pH monitoring which positive standard is Ryan index in diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. Methods: In a retrospective study, clinical data of 590 patients who had symptoms laryngopharyngeal reflux disease from February 2016 to March 2017 were analyzed. All patients were received electronic laryngoscopy, assessment of reflux symptom index(RSI) and reflux finding score(RFS), and pharyngeal pH monitoring. SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the date. Results: There were 94 patients whose Ryan index were positive(15.93%). Among the 94 patients, 70 were positive during upright, 12 during supine and 12 during both upright and supine. There were 40 patients(6.78%)with pH decline events related to symptoms, while those Ryan index were normal. There were 536(90.85%), 417(70.68%), 233(39.49%) and 117(19.83%) patients with pH<6.5, pH<6.0, pH<5.5 and pH<5.0 events respectively. The positive rate of RSI, RFS, RSI and RFS, RSI or RFS were 44.24%, 16.78%, 7.12%, 53.90% respectively. The RFS score in Ryan index positive group was higher than that in Ryan index negative group[(8.2±2.4) vs (4.0±2.9), u=5.424, P<0.05], while the RSI score in Ryan index positive group was not statistically different from that in Ryan index negative group[(11.3±6.2) vs (12.7±5.8), t=1.247, P=0.167]. Conclusions Pharyngeal pH monitoring is an objective and non-invasive method which can reflect laryngopharyngeal reflux directly. However, with the Ryan index as a criterion for the diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease, partial patients may be missed. Further studies are needed to obtain more accurate and objective laryngopharyngeal pH statistical index for diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease.
