Objective To explore the effect of paravertebral nerve block for preemptive analgesia on patients with thoracic surgery,and provide reference for clinical anesthesia.Methods From March 2014 to February 2016,102 patients with thoracic surgery in our hospital were selected as the research object,and they were divided into the observation group and the control group with 51 cases in each group according to the anesthesia methods.All the patients were given total intravenous anesthesia.Patients of the control group were injected propofol 1~2 mg/kg,sufentanil 0.4~0.5 g/kg,midazolam 0.1 mg/kg and rocuronium 0.5~0.7 mg/kg,while patients of the observation group were injected ropivacaine(with concentration of 0.5%)5 mL,sufentanil 0.1~0.3 μg·kg-1·min-1 and propofol 6~8 mg·kg-1·min-1 as an addition with the use of ultrasound to guide the paravertebral nerve block.The effect of the two groups were compared.Results The dosage of propofol,remifentanil and rocuronium in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group during the operation.The VAS score,postoperative pulmonary complication rate,ICU rate,extubation time,postoperative recovery time at different time of observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group,and SpO2 was higher in control group 30 minutes after tracheal extubation, the differences were significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Paravertebral nerve block requires less dosage of anaesthetic, and it has more significant analgesia effect on patients with thoracic surgery, which can efficiently promote the recovery of patients.

Objective To explore the role of uncoupling protein 2 ( UCP2) in the development of hepatic fibrosis and its molecular mechanism .Methods The CCl4-induced liver fibrosis rat model in vivo was established to observe the pathological changes of rat livers .The expression levels of UCP2 and p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) were detected by using the techniques of Western blotting , Real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry .The hepatic stellate cells ( HSC) were stimulated by CCl 4 and UCP2-specific inhibitor Genipin to mimic liver fibrosis in vitro.The expression levels of UCP2 and p38MAPK were determined by using Western blotting .Results We found that UCP2 and α-SMA expression levels increased significantly (P <0.05, n =10) in the liver of rats with CCl4-induced liver fibrosis when compared with that of the normal control rats in vivo.Similarly, the expression levels of UCP2 and p38 MAPK were up regulated (P <0.05, n=6) in CCl4-treated HSC cells in vitro.However, the expressions of UCP2 and p38 MAPK were down regulated (P <0.05, n=6) in genipin-treated HSC cells in vitro.Conclusion UCP2 is involved in liver fibrosis, and probably contributed to the activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells .

Objective To investigate the signal transduction pathway mechanisms of rats with liver fibrosis regulated by leptin and interfering effects of mistletoe alkali .Methods The hepatic fibrosis in rats model was established by injecting carbon tetrachloride .Forty-five SD rats were randomly divided into normal group ,model group and therapeutic group.All rats except rats in normal group were intraperitoneally injected with 40%carbon tetrachloride in peanut oil with a dose of 2.0 mL/100g according to the body weight twice a week for 8 weeks.Then, the therapeutic group was given mistletoe alkali (8g/(kg· d)) for 8 weeks via gastrogavage.Rats in normal and model group were served with distilled water at the same time.At the end of the 16th week, blood and tissue specimens were taken from all the rats .The influence of mistletoe alkali on liver morphology in liver fibrosis rat model was reviewed by HE and Masson staining .The effects of mistletoe alkali on the expression of Leptin and its receptor ( OB-Rb ) in HSC in fibrosis rat model were determined by immunohistochemistry (IH).The expression of JAK2, STAT3 and the activity of phospho -JAK2, phospho-STAT3 were detected by Western blotting analysis .Results The degree of fibrosis of the model group was more severe than the normal group and the treatment group , which suggested that mistletoe alkali can reverse liver fibrosis in rats . Immunohistochemical staining showed that mistletoe alkali reduced the hepatic expression of leptin and OB -Rb in rats with liver fibrosis in comparison with their expression in the model group .Compared with the normal group , the expression of JAK2 and STAT3 increased in the model group .However, the expression of JAK2 and STAT3 decreased in the medication groups compared with the model group .Conclusion Mistletoe alkali can effectively ameliorate liver fibrosis in rats possibly through inhibiting hepatic leptin and its receptor expressions , which through inhibiting hepatic leptin and its receptor expressions , thus inhibit the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway .
