Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2014;(4):394-397
Objective Intranasal drops of dexmedetomidine can induce conscious sedation in children .This study was to com-pare the sedative effects of different doses of intranasal dexmedetomidine in different age groups of children patients . Methods We e-qually randomized 90 hernia children waiting for elective unilateral inguinal surgery ( ASAⅠ-Ⅱ) to groupsⅠ,ⅡandⅢ.At 35 minutes be-fore surgery, we obtained the heart rate (HR), mean artery pressure (MAP) of all the patients.The children in groupsⅠandⅡreceived nasal instillation of dexmedetomidine at 1 and 2μg/kg respectively, while those in groupⅢ0.4 mL of normal saline, followed by sevoflu-rane induction, intravenous injection of sufentanil (0.2μg/kg), and laryngeal mask airway anesthesia with sevoflurane .We recorded HR, MAP before medication, at 10 min, 20 min and 30 min before mediation, right after surgery, and at the recovery to consciousness . We also recorded the sedation onset time and post-surgery recovery time and assessed sedation satisfaction using the Ramsay score . Results The rates of satisfactory preoperative sedation were 50 and 63% in groupsⅠandⅡ, significantly higher than 10%in groupⅢ(P<0.05). In the 1-4-year group, the sedation satisfaction rate , sedation onset
time and post-surgery recovery time showed no significant differences between groupsⅠandⅡ(P>0.05).In the 5-8-year group, seda-tion satisfaction rate was markedly higher in groupⅡthan in groupsⅢ(77%vs 22%, P<0.05) andⅠ(77%vs 45%) . Conclusion At 1 and 2μg/kg, intranasal drops of dexmedetomidine produces similar rates of satisfactory sedation in children aged 1-4 years, and at 2μg/kg can achieve an even higher rate of satisfactory sedation without adverse hemodynamic effects in those aged 5-8 years.

International Journal of Pediatrics 2021;48(1):43-46
Respiratory virus remains to be an important pathogen of respiratory disease in children.The disease can occur in all age groups, especially in young children.Most viral infections have a good prognosis, but special viruses still cause great harm to the health of children.Respiratory viral therapy includes symptomatic therapy, broad-spectrum antiviral drugs, drugs that directly target the viral replication cycle, drugs that attenuate the inflammatory response, and anti-viral nanodrugs.New antiviral drugs are urgently needed to develop.The repurposing of the existing therapeutic agents previously designed for other virus infections is also an effective way.The treatment of respiratory virus infection has become an important topic in clinical research.

Chronic inflammation has been demonstrated closely related to the tumor progression.Tumorassociated macrophage,as the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment,is a key element that links inflammation and cancer.Recently,studies found that the phenomenon and function of tumor-associated macrophage almost tend to M2 type macrophage.As an important indicator,tumor-associated macrophage usually predicts the poor progress with the cancer development.In China,Most of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are associated with chronic viral infection.A large number of macrophages in the liver infiltrated in chronic inflammation,which are differentiated by variety of mechanisms under the chronic inflammatory stimulation,promote the development of liver cancer.In this paper,we will review the tumor-associated macrophages and the development of liver cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on expression of growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) and Nogo-A in brain after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats. Methods 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group and electroacupuncture group, and the latter two were modeled as middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion with nylon monofilament suture. Electroacupuncture was performed 90 min after modeling in the electroacupucture group at acupoints of Neiguan (PC06), Shuigou (DU26), Sanyinjiao (SP06), Baihui (DU20), for 30 min, once a day. The sham group and the model group were conventionally fed in cages without any intervention. 8 rats of each group were assessed with Longa's score, and the expressions of GAP-43 and Nogo-A were detected with immunohistochemistry 7 d and 14 d after modeling respectively. Results The sham group presented no neurological symptoms. There was not different in Longa's score between the model group and the electroacupuncture group 7 d after modeling (P>0.05), but was different 14 d after modeling (P<0.05). GAP-43 positive cells was not found in the sham group, but could be found around cerebral ischemia 7 d after modeling, which decreased 14 d after modeling in the model group. GAP-43 positive cells increased significantly in the electroacupuncture group compared with the model group at each time (P<0.01). Nogo-A positive cells was few found in the sham group, and was more in the model group (P<0.01). The expression of Nogo-A decreased significantly in the electroacupuncture group compared with the model group at each time (P<0.01). Conclusion Electroacupuncture can improve neurological function of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion rats, which may be associated with the increase of GAP-43 and descrease of Nogo-A in peri-infarct regions

Objective To investigate the effects of 5-azacytidine and estradiol on the methylation of CpG motifs and expression of DNA methyltransferasel (DNMT1) mRNA in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and normal controls.Methods Peripheral blood lymphocytes isolated from 12 patients with SLE and 11 normal human controls were stimulated with phytohaemagglutinin for one day followed by additional 3-day culture with or without the presence of 5-azacytidine of 1 μmol/L or estradiol of 30μg/L respectively.Then.the methylation of CpG motifs was detected by flow cytometry using anti-5-methylcytosine antibody,and DNMT1 mRNA expression by real time reverse transcription-PCR Results After treatment with 5-azacytidine,a decrease wag observed in the methylation of CpG motifs, but not in the expression of DNMT1 mRNA in peripheral lymphocytes from patients with SLE (1=18.60,P<0.01;t=1.56.P>0.05) and in those from the normal controls (t=5.63,P<0.01;t=2.17,P>0.05) compared with untreated lymphocytes.Nevertheless,there were no significant changes in the methylation of CpG motifs or expression of DNMT1 mRNA in lymphocytes from patients with SLE (t=1.53,0.93,respectively,both P>0.05) and normal controls (t=1.93,0.11,respectively,both P>0.05) after the treatment with estradiol.Conclusions The methylation of CpG motifs is suppressed efficiently by 5-azacytidine,and the suppression is unlikely to be associated with the decrease of DNMT1 mRNA.Estradiol has no significant impact on the methylation of CpG motifs and expression of DNMT1 mRNA in lymphocytes.
