Objective To explore the effect of applying Case-based study (CBS) in combina-tion with Reference-induced self education (RISE) in clinical teaching of Digestive endoscope diag-nostics. Method One hundred and twenty undergraduates in Grade 2012 of clinical imaging speciality of Beihua University were selected as the objects of study and classified at random into experiment group (60 students) and control group (60 students), In the course of teaching, the traditional LBL study and CBS-RISE study were separately employed, and examined through theoretical assessment in combination with case analysis, and the teaching effect in experiment group students was also evaluated through examination paper. SPSS 16.0 statistic soft ware was employed for data treatment and analysis, t test was used for quantity data and expressed as x±s, and x2 test for number counting data, and P<0.05 as the statistical significant difference. Results In experiment group, the total result, and the results of theoretical examination and case analysis were all superior to the control group, and the dif-ference between two groups exhibited statistical significance (P values respectively 0.008, 0.017 and 0.021). The excellent and good rate of the experimental group's theory examination score was 70%, which was higher than that of the control group (48.3%). The excellent and good rate of the experimen-tal group in the case analysis of examination results was 63.3%, higher than that of the control group (43.3%), and the difference was statistically significant (P values respectively 0.016 and 0.028). The students in experimental group showed better degree of satisfaction to the teaching model of CBS-RISE. In general, they considered that the CBS-RISE model could stimulate the learning interest of students, enhance the ability of analyzing and solving problems, deepen the understanding of knowl-edge, train a better clinical thinking model, and also develop a cooperative group idea. Conclusions CBS-RISE teaching model is feasible in the application of teaching in digestive endoscope diagnostics, and beneficial to the training of self learning ability and clinical consideration, deserving populariza-tion.

Objective To evaluate Effects of general anesthesia combined with thoracic paraver-tebral block(TPVB)on postoperative recovery after thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy. Methods Eighty patients were randomized into the general anesthesia group( G group)and general anesthesia combined TPVB group(GT group). Under the guidance of ultrasound,patients in the GT group received 20ml of 0. 5% ropivacaine for TPVB,and sevoflurane and propofol for combined anesthesia. Patients in the G group received sevoflurane,propofol and remifentanil for combined anesthesia. Extubation time,postoperative vis-ual analogue scale(VAS),quality of recovery(QoR)score,and adverse reaction were all recorded. Results Patients in the GT group had less extubation time and earlier ambulation time compared to the G group. Postoperatively,at the 1st,24th and 48th hour,patients in the G group had significantly higher VAS values both at rest and on movement than GT group(P < 0. 05). The opioid consumptions in GT group were lower than the G group(P < 0. 05). The QoR values of GT group at 24th and 48th hour[(152 ± 21)min and (175 ± 17)min]were significantly higher than the G group[(134 ± 25)min and(162 ± 20)min]respec-tively. There were significant differences in hospitalization expenses,the hospitalization stay and the inci-dence of complications between the two groups. Conclusion The ultrasound-guided paravertebral block can improve the quality of recovery in patients undergoing thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy.

Objective To investigate the effect of minocycline on isoflurane-induced hippocampal neuroapoptosis and cognitive dysfunction in aged rats. Methods Forty-five male SD rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups ( n=15): blank control group ( group C) , 1.5% isoflurane group ( group I) and 50 mg??kg-1 minocycline+1.5% isoflurane group ( group M+I) . Minocycline was injected intraperitoneally 12 h before the start of anesthesia for group M+I.Group I and group M+I were exposed to 1.5% isoflurane for 4 h, while group C were exposed to 30% O2-70% N2.At the end of anesthesia, five rats in each group were randomized to analyse arterial blood gas. The other rats in each group were sent back to their home cage until they were fully awake.Fourteen days after anesthesia, Morris water maze was used to assess the cognitive function, and then hippocampi of rats were dissected for detection of the expression of cleaved caspase3, Bax and Bcl-2. Results No difference was found in arterial gas analysis among the 3 groups (P>0.05).Compared with group C, the rats in the group I spent more time locating the platform on the third and fourth training days and the time percentage that the rats in group I spent in the target quadrant was much less (P<0.05).However, these changes were reversed in group M+I (P<0.05).The isoflurane-induced increased level of Bax and cleaved caspase3 and decline of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 were restored by minocycline pretreatment ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Minocycline could attenuate cognitive dysfunction induced by isofluranein aged rats.The mechanism is associated with inhibition of hippocampal neuroapoptosis which is increased by isoflurane.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze external factors affecting auditory ability of infants and toddlers after cochlear implantation in the first year of switch-on. METHOD: Seventy-five infants and toddlers after cochlear implantation were selected as subjects, using LittlEARS Auditory Questionnaire to assess and analyze the correlations with auditory ability and external factors (including gender, cochlear implanted age, pre-implant hearing aid fitting, caregivers' education background, household income and rehabilitation modes) in different stages (before switch-on, and 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months after switch-on). RESULT: The mean scores of LittlEARS were significantly different in cochlear implanted age group, pre-implant hearing aid fitting group and rehabilitation modes group (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in other groups such as external factor gender, caregivers' education background and household income (P > 0.05). The correlations with the mean scores of LittlEARS and cochlear implantation age or pre-implant hearing aid fitting were significant at 3 months or 6 months after switch-on(/r/ ≥ 0. 3, P < 0.01). However, the correlation with the mean scores of LittlEARS and rehabilitation modes was significant at 12 months after switch-on(/r/ > ≥ 0.3, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Cochlear implanted age and pre-implant hearing aid fitting were the important factors affecting auditory ability of infants and toddlers after cochlear implantation in the first year of switch-on. The effect of rehabilitation modes on auditory ability of infants and toddlers after cochlear implantation was slow.

To compare the early-phase secretion between islet α cells and β cells in subjects with normal glucose tolerance and to explore the influencing genetic factors on the function of islet cells.40 subjects with normal glucose tolerance and family history of diabetes ( FH+ ) and 55 healthy volunteers without family diabetes history ( FH ) were collected.Fasting and L-arginine stimulating insulin,glucagon,and tasting free fatty acid,as well as other indicators were determined in all subjects.Insulin resistance was evaluated by homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance.After adjnsting for sex,age,and body mass index,the insulin secretion peak of the two groups reached both at two min,and began to decline at four min,the peak multiple of FH+group was significantly less than that of FH-group (7.29 vs 8.88,P＜0.05) ; glucagon secretion peak of both groups reached at two min and began to decline by four min.Fasting glucagon and peak multiple were not significantly different (P＞0.05) ; The ratio of fasting insulin to fasting glucagon of the two groups was without significantly difference ( P＞0.05 ).Under diabetes genetic background,the function of β cells decreases even in subjects with normal glucose tolerance.

Objective To evaluate the effect of different intravenous analgesia methods on postoperative incisional and uterine contraction pain after cesarean section.Methods Four hundred parturients (ASA Ⅱ-Ⅱ) undergoing cesarean section were randomly allocated into 4 groups,including sufentanil group (group S,96 cases),sufentanil combined with flurbiprofen axetil group (group SK,99 cases),butorphanol group (group N,106 cases) and butorphanol combined with llurbiprofen axetil group (group NK,99 cases).All the parturients received the operation under epidural combined with spinal anesthesia,and received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after cesarean section.Numerical rating scale (NRS) of postoperative rest and dynamic incisional pain and uterine contraction pain,Ramsay sedation scale (RSS),and PCIA-related adverse events were recorded for 24 h after operation.Results All the parturients were finished this study.The age,body weight,gestational weeks and operative time in 4 groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The NRS score of rest incisional pain was equivalent among the 4 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The NRS score of dynamic incisional pain after operative 13 h in group S was significantly lower than that in group N[(3.6 + 1.3) scores vs.(5.4 + 1.2) scores](P＜ 0.05).The NRS score of uterine contraction pain after operative 4,13 h in group N and group SK was lower than that in group S [(1.3 ± 1.0),(1.1 ± 0.9) scores vs.(2.5 ± 1.1) scores and (1.6 ± 1.0),(1.4 ± 0.9) scores vs.(2.9 ± 1.1) scores] (P ＜ 0.05).The RSS scores and incidence rate of dizziness were significantly higher in group N than those in group S (P ＜0.05).No abnormality of new-horn infant was recorded in 4 groups.Conclusion Sufentanil combined with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs can perform effective and safe analgesia on postoperative incisional and uterine contraction pain after cesarean section.

Objective To observe the effect of different doses of mivacurium chloride on muscle relaxation time-course and hemodynamics in children with different ages. Methods One hundred children of selective inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation from January 2016 to January 2017 were enrolled, and the age was 0.5 to 6.0 years. The children were divided into low age group (0.5 to 3.0 years) and high age group (3.1 to 6.0 years) according to the age, then the children were divided into low dose group (mivacurium chloride 0.20 mg/kg) and high dose group (mivacurium chloride 0.25 mg/kg) according to the doses of mivacurium chloride. Therefore, the children were divided into low age low dose group, low age high dose group, high age low dose group and high age high dose group with 25 cases each. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rates before anesthesia (T0) and 1 min (T1), 3 min (T2), 5 min (T3), 10 min (T4) after intravenous injection of mivacurium chloride were recorded. The times of first intravenous injection of mivacurium chloride to neuromuscular block 75% (ThD75), 90% (ThD90) and maximum (ThDmax) were recorded. The recovery index (RI) was recorded. The times of last intravenous injection of mivacurium chloride to onset of muscle convulsions (Th) and muscle convulsions recovery 10% (ThR10), 25% (ThR25), 75% (ThR75), 90% (ThR90) were recorded. The times of ratio of the fourth muscle twitch to the first muscle twitch (TOFR) recovery 75% (TOFR75) and 90% (TOFR90) were recorded. Results There were no statistical difference in MAP and heart rate among 4 groups (P＞0.05). The ThD75, ThD90 and ThDmax in low age low dose group were (126 ± 40), (163 ± 59) and (192 ± 49) s, those in low age high dose group were (73 ± 15), (115 ± 41) and (142 ± 37) s, those in high age low dose group were (149 ± 38), (193 ± 44) and (221 ± 47)s, and those in high age high dose group were (105 ± 32), (138 ± 35) and (167 ± 44)s. The ThD75, ThD90 and ThDmax in low age high dose group were significantly shorter than those in low age low dose group, those in high age high dose group were significantly shorter than those in high age low dose group, those in high age low dose group were significantly longer than those in low age low dose group, those in high age high dose group were significantly longer than those in low age high dose group, and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05). There were no statistical differences in Th, ThR10, ThR25, ThD75, ThD90, RI, TOFR75 and TOFR90 among low age low dose group and low age high dose group, high age low dose group and high age high dose group (P＞0.05). Conclusions In the children of 0.5 to 3.0 years, the effect of mivacurium chloride is significantly faster than that in the children of aged 3.1 to 6.0 years. Compared with 0.20 mg/kg of mivacurium chloride, 0.25 mg/kg of mivacurium chloride has less time to display muscle relaxation effect. The recovery time is not affected by age and induction dose. Mivacurium chloride has no significant effect on hemodynamics.

Background: Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is a single-stranded DNA virus that causes porcine reproductive failure. It is of critical importance to study PPV pathogenesis for the prevention and control of the disease. NS1, a PPV non-structural protein, is participated in viral DNA replication, transcriptional regulation, and cytotoxicity. Our previous research showed that PPV can activate nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and then up-regulate the expression of interleukin (IL)-6. Objectives: Herein, the purpose of this study is to determine whether the non-structural protein NS1 of PPV also has the same function. Methods: Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blot, immunofluorescence assay and small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used. Results: Our findings demonstrated that PPV NS1 protein can up-regulate the expression levels of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, PPV NS1 protein was found to induce the phosphorylation of IκBα, then leading to the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of NF-κB. In addition, the NS1 protein activated the upstream pathways of NF-κB. Meanwhile, TLR2-siRNA assay showed TLR2 plays an important role in the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway induced by PPV-NS1. Conclusions These findings indicated that PPV NS1 protein induced the up-regulated of IL-6 expression through activating the TLR2 and NF-κB signaling pathways. In conclusion, these findings provide a new avenue to study the innate immune mechanism of PPV infection.

Objective:To investigate the impact of a pain management model based on clinical pathway (CP) refinement on postoperative pain relief, recovery, and cognitive function in patients undergoing orthopedic joint surgery.Methods:A total of 150 orthopedic joint surgery patients admitted to Handan Central Hospital from February 2018 to January 2021 were selected. They were randomly divided into an observation group (treated with a pain management model based on CP refinement) and a control group (treated with conventional pain management) using a random number table method, with 75 patients in each group. We compared the differences in pain relief, recovery, cognitive function, and postoperative complication rates between two groups of patients.Results:The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of the observation group patients at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). 24 hours after surgery, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores of both groups of patients decreased compared to before treatment, and the angle of straight leg elevation test increased compared to before treatment (all P<0.05). In addition, the JOA scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the angle of straight leg elevation test was greater than that of the control group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). 24 hours after surgery, the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) scores of both groups of patients increased (all P<0.05), and the MMSE scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The analgesic model based on CP refined management has improved the postoperative analgesic effect, recovery, and cognitive function of patients undergoing orthopedic joint surgery. It is recommended to promote it clinically.

OBJECTIVETo compare the differences of postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and gynecological laparoscopy in female patients.

METHODSThis retrospective study included 645 female patients received laparoscopic cholecystectomy or gynecological laparoscopy (laparoscopic oophorocystectomy/myomectomy) between January 2011 and July 2012 in Tongji Hospital. Among them, 207 cases of sufentanil-tramadol patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) were enrolled and divided into 2 groups:77 cases in laparoscopic cholecystectomy group, and 130 cases in gynecological laparoscopy group. The pressing frequency and consumption of PCIA, localization and quality of postoperative pain, visual analogue scale (VAS) at 4-6 h, 8-12 h, 18-24 h after surgery, and adverse effect were compared by t-test,&chi;(2) test, Fisher exact test or Mann-Whitney test.

RESULTSThere was no statistical difference of age, body mass index, and operation time between the two groups (all P > 0.05). As compared with the gynecological laparoscopy group (3 (4)), PCIA pressing frequency was higher in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (5 (7)), but there was no statistical difference (Z = -1.747, P = 0.081). PCIA consumption in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (79 (33) ml) was higher than that in the gynecological laparoscopy group (48 (30) ml) (Z = -6.267, P = 0.000). The postoperative pain localization and quality were different in the two groups, the patients in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy group experienced dull pain in lower abdomen, but the ones in the gynecological laparoscopy group had distending pain in upper abdomen and piercing pain around scapula. The differences of 4-6 h, 8-12 h, 18-24 h VAS scores in the two groups had no statistical significance (all P > 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative adverse effect between the two groups had no statistical significant difference (laparoscopic cholecystectomy group:11.7%, gynecological laparoscopy group:16.2%) (&chi;(2) = 0.778, P = 0.378). The incidence of dizziness was higher in the gynecological laparoscopy group (6.2%) than that in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (0) (Fisher exact test:P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIn the case of sufentanil-tramadol PCIA, laparoscopic cholecystectomy needs more postoperative analgesia, while gynecological laparoscopy has higher incidence of dizziness.
