Objective To observe the influence of combined spinal and epidural anesthesia( CSEA) of different po-sitions on the anesthesia effect, anesthesia operation and hemodynamic index during cesarean section of obese par-turients. Methods Eighty obese parturients[BMI≥30] undergoing cesarean section were randomly divided into two groups, that was group A and B, with 40 cases each. In group A, the parturients were required to undergo lat-eral decubitus position with 0.5% ropivacaine hydrochloride of 2. 4 ml. In group B, the parturients were required to undergo sitting position with the same ropivacaine hydrochloride as group A. The following data was recorded, which were the percentage of one-attempt's successful epidural needle placement, the anesthesia level,the anesthe-sia effect and the hemodynamic change. All the complications were also observed,such as the supine hypotension syndrome during operation,headache after spinal anesthesia and postoperative spinal nerve stimulation. ResultsThe difference of anesthetic effect between the two groups was insignificant in statistics while group B's rate of one-attempt successful puncture was higher than gruop A ( P <0.05 ) . The difference of hemodynamic index between them was significant in statistics ( P<0.05 ) with group B's rate of supine hypotension syndrome lower than group A. Conclusion Both body positions have the same anesthtic effect for obese parturients during cesarean section while the puncture operation of sitting positon is easier than lateral decubitus position and the hemodynamic change is also more stable.

Objective To investigate the effects of parecoxib pretreatment on the intrapulmonary shunt during one-lung ventilation in patients undergoing esophageal cancer resection.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 25-64 yr,weighing 45-70 kg,with body height 156-178 cm,undergoing elective esophageal surgery,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20 each):normal saline group (group NS) and parecoxib group (group P).Parecoxib 40 mg (in normal saline 10 ml) was injected intravenously 30 min before anesthesia in group P,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of parecoxib in group NS.Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of propofol,fentanyl and rocuronium.Bronchial blocker was inserted after tracheal intubation and the correct position was confirmed by bronchoscopy.Anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of propofol and remifentanil and intermittent iv boluses of atracurium.HR,MAP,SpO2 and mean airway pressure (Pmean)were determined at 5 min of two-lung ventilation,at 40 min of one-lung ventilation,and at 30 min after re-expansion of the collapsed lung (T0-2).Blood samples were taken simultaneously from jugular vein and radial artery for blood gas analysis.Intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt) was calculated.Results There were no significant differences in hemodynamic parameters and Pmean between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).PaO2 was significantly lower,while Qs/Qt was significantly higher at T1,2 than at T0 in groups NS and P (P ＜ 0.05).PaO2 was significantly higher,while Qs/Qt was significantly lower at T2 than at T1 in groups NS and P (P ＜ 0.05).Qs/Qt was significantly lower at T1,2 and PaO2 was significantly higher at T2 in group P than in group NS (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Parecoxib 40 mg injected intravenously at 30 min before anesthesia can reduce the intrapulmonary shunt during one lung ventilation in patients undergoing esophageal cancer resection.

Objective:To assess the advantages and nursing experience of foley catheter for nephrostomy tube after minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL).Methods:From October 2015 to April 2016,the clinical data of 137 patients,who were diagnosed with upper urinary tract calculi and need to perform mPCNL,were collected and randomized into 2 groups:a foley catheter group (research group,n=69) and a normal nephrostomy tube group (control group,n=68).The patients in research group used foley catheter for nephrostomy tube,while those in the control group used normal nephrostomy tube.Bleeding volume,the days of bleeding,pipes shedding and pain degree were compared,and the experience of the nursing process was summarized.Results:The bleeding volume,the days of bleeding in the research group were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P＜0.01).The pipes shedding rate in the research group were lower than that in the control group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in postoperative pain scores between the 2 groups (P＞0.05).There was no other complications and discomfortable symptoms in the experimental group.Conclusion:The use of foley catheter for nephrostomy tube after mPCNL is safe,and it can decrease the bleeding volume and pipes shedding rate.It doesn't increase the patient's postoperative pain and can reduce the difficulty and risk for postoperative nursing.

Objective:To optimize the base formula of boric acid cream,and investigate its quality. Methods:Using central composite design-response surface methodology,with the viscosity of cream as the index,the amounts of Cremophor A6,Cremophor A25,cetyl alcohol,stearyl alcohol,isooctadecyl isooctadecanoate,jojoba oil and light liquid paraffin were optimized. The appearance characteristics,particle size,viscosity and stability of the preparation and the content of boric acid were studied. Results:The optimal conditions were as follows:50 g Cremophor A6-Cremophor A25(3 ∶2),65 g cetyl alcohol-stearyl alcohol(3∶7),and 125 g isooctadecyl isooctadecanoate-jojoba oil- light liquid paraffin(5 ∶3 ∶2). According to the optimal formula,the cream showed the property of semi-fluid cream,the content of boric acid was 98. 5% of the labeling amount,and the viscosity was about 1. 64 × 104 mPa·s. The predicted value was equivalent to the measured one,and the stability of the preparation was promising. Conclusion:The central composite design-response surface methodology used in the base optimization of boric acid cream is simple with high precision and good predictability,and the quality of the preparation is stable and controllable.

Objective To investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in the ABCC4(rs7320375,rs7329490,rs7986087),FCGR2A(rs1801274)and BLK(rs2254546)region could be susceptibility locus for Kawasaki disease(KD)in children from southern China.Methods This study was performed as a case-control study.The samples,92 individuals with KD and 194 healthy controls from southern China,were collected at Guangzhou Women and Childrens′Medical Center from October,2013 to November,2015,and the SNPs were genotyped by using the Sequenom MassArray system.The genotype distribution and allele frequency of the SNPs were analyzed using chi-square test and Fisher′s exact test.Results The genotype distribution of FCGR2A(rs1801274)in patients with KD were as follows: GG 4.3％(4/92),AG 33.7％(31/92),AA 62％(57/92),correspondingly in healthy controls were GG 48.5％(94/194),AG 41.2％(80/194),AA 10.3％(20/194)respectively,and a significant difference was found between KD patients and controls(x2=98.17,P=0.000).A allele frequency of FCGR2A(rs1801274)in KD patients(78.8％,145/184)was higher than that in controls(30.9％,x2=0.120,P=0.000).The genotype distribution of BLK(rs2254546)in patients with KD were as follows: GG 67.4％(62/92),AG 28.3％(26/92),AA 4.3％(4/92),correspondingly in healthy controls were GG 52.1％(101/194),AG 43.8％(85/194),AA 4.1％(8/194)respectively,significant differences were found between KD patients and controls(x2=6.47,P=0.039).G allele frequency of BLK(rs2254546)in KD patients(81.5％,150/184)was higher than that in controls(74.0％,287/388,x2=1.553,P=0.047).Conclusions For the children in southern China,FCGR2A SNPs(rs1801274)may be associated with the susceptibility to KD,and the A allele may increase the risk of KD.BLK SNPs(rs2254546)is also found to be associated with the susceptibility to KD,and the G allele may increase the risk of KD.

Objective To study the possible mechanisms by which repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) pretreatment antagonizes seizures induced by lithium chloride-pilocarpine and any correlation with antiapoptosis in hippocampal CA1 neurons.Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into a control group, a sham stimulation group and an rTMS pretreatment group. The rTMS pretreatment group was pretreated on 7 consecutive days with low-frequency rTMS (0.5 Hz, 75％ of threshold intensity, 20 times/bundle, and 5 bundles/d), while the sham-stimulation group was sham-stimulated with a similar sound. Lithium chloride-pilocarpine ( LPC ) was used to induce a model epileptic state.Epileptic stroke latency and severity were recorded ; neuronal morphology was observed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining; mean positive-reactive cell number and mean optical density and absorbance of B cell lymphoma/leukemia gene-2 (Bcl-2) were recorded, and Fas and Caspase-3 protein in the hippocampal CA1 region were observed with immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the sham stimulation group, epileptic latency in the rTMS pretreatment group was significantly longer. Seizures in the rTMS pretreatment group were less severe, and a number of degenerated neurons were observed to be apoptotic. Bcl-2 protein expression increased at each time point, but Fas and Caspase-3 protein expression decreased.Conclusions rTMS pretreatment has an anti-epilepsy effect. The possible neuronal protection might be produced by regulating the expression of Bcl-2, Fas and Caspase-3 protein in the hippocampus.

Objective To explore changes in circulating endothelial cells(CECs)numbers in neonatal hypoxemia and its clinical significance.Methods Hladovec method was used to measure the quantity of CECs in 40 cases of neonatus with different degree of hypoxemia(hypoxemia group),and 20 matched healthy newborns were enrolled as control group.Results The numbers of CECs in hypoxemia group were much more than those in control group,and the difference was statistically significant.Meanwhile,there were significant differences in CECs numbers between moderate group and mild group(t =13.43,P <0.05),as well as moderate group and severe group(t=7.698,P <0.05).Conclusion The quantity of circulating ECEs in hypoxic neonatus is correlated with the hy-poxic severity,which may be used as early diagnostic indicator for hypoxemia,and could provide new scientific evidences for early diagnosis,illness judgment and curative effect evaluation.
