Objective To determine the EC50 of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride ( DEX) which causes disappearance of explicit memory by process dissociation procedure (PDP). Methods Forty patients those who had senior middle school or higher educational background undergoing lower extremity surgery with grade ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, without hearing impairment, dysphasia,nervous system disorders,and having no drugs in the treatment of the central nervous system were included.PDP was applied to establish study table and record, and calculate performance of explicit memory and implicit memory. Memory performance was statistically compared with 0, 0 memory was considered to be statistically significant and disappearance, respectively.Sequential method was used for determination.According to explicit memory disappearance or not,target concentration of the next patient was adjusted (increase or decrease).DEX target concentration of the first patient was set to 4 ng?mL-1,and the ratio of target concentration between the adjacent patients was 1.2.If the explicit memory of the former patient disappeared,the target concentration of the next patient was decreased by 1 concentration gradient;if the explicit memory of the former patient did not disappear,the target concentration of the next patient was increased by 1 concentration gradient, and so forth. All the 40 patients were determined.The median effective dose (D1) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of DEX were calculated. Results The ED50 of DEX causing explicit memory disappearance was 5.23 ng?mL-1,and the 95% CI was 4.07-6.39 ng?mL-1. Conclusion In clinical,target concentration of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride 5.23 ng?mL-1 levels for sedation,can cause half of patients’ explicit memory disappear,so as to avoid intraoperative awareness.

Objective To investigate feedback regulation of close-loop muscle relaxant injection system on accuracy of cisatracurium besilate usage. Methods Two hundred patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery, aged 20 to 40 years old, at ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were randomly divided into two groups:control group and treatment group (n=100 each group).In the control group, the patients received injection of cisatracurium besilate with closed-loop muscle relaxant injection system at 1.5-2.0 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 , until 30 min before the end of surgery;if the muscle relaxant level could not meet the requirement of the operation, extra 0.05 mg·kg-1 was added.The treatment group was adopted closed-loop muscle relaxant monitoring under negative feedback regulation of infusion cisatracurium, and the close-loop control parameters were set to: drug was added when TOF was 8%, and injection speed was 2. 5 μg · kg-1 · min-1 , maintaining speed was 0. 33 μg · kg-1 · min-1 , the stimulus current for monitoring muscle relaxant was 60 mA , and the pulse width was 200μs.The Cooper score, cisatracurium dosage, and muscle recovery index, TOFr75 and TOFr90 of the two groups were compared. Prediction probability ( Pk ) of NI on awakening period of eye opening and directional force recovery of the two groups were detected, and regression equation was established to predict ED50 and ED95 related NI .

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the composite acoustic therapy is effective to treat tinnitus in patients with sudden deafness and to explore the mechanisms. METHOD: Ninety-six cases (96 ears) were divided into experimental group and control group, and all the patients underwent drug treatment. The patients in experimental group were given personalized composite acoustic therapy in the first 30 days, music therapy in next 31-90 days, however, the patients in control group were not given sound therapy. Additionally, pure tone audiogram, tinnitus pitch and loudness as well as questionnaires (including THI, VAS, and SAS) were conducted for each patient before treatment, at day 30 and day 90 posttreatment. RESULT: Eighty-nine patients (n = 47 for experimental group and n = 42 for control group) completed the trial. The results of day 30 posttreatment showed there were no significant differences in VAS and hearing recovery rate between these two groups, but THI and SAS showed significant differences. The results of day 90 posttreatment showed significant differences in VAS (P < 0.05), THI (P < 0.01) and SAS (P < 0.01), and no significant difference of hearing recovery rate was detected. The most significant changes of VAS appeared in the first 30 days of treatment. The hearing and tinnitus recovery in experimental group were better for the first 30 days of treatment than for the next 31-90 days, and similar results were obtaind in control group. (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Composite acoustic treatment combined with drug therapy can improve the tinnitus and anxiety symptoms of patients with sudden deafness, and the effect on hearing recovery still need to be confirmed in further studies.

Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors associated with incisional surgical site infection (SSI) in colorectal cancer. Methods We retrospectively analyzed impacting factors of SSI including age, gender, BMI, diabetes mellitus, operation, albumin levels, hemoglobin levels, tumor staging, and length of stay post-operation in 327 colorectal patients from 2001 to 2005. Results The incidences of SSI and fat liquefaction were 2. 4%(8/327) and 12. 2%(40/327) respectively. The incidences of SSI in patients with obesity and diabetes mellitus increased significantly (16. 8% vs. 10. 0% ,28. 6% vs. 13. 7%). The length of stay in patients with SSI prolonged significantly (29.0 d vs. 15.8 d). Conclusion Obesity and diabetes mellitus are the most important factors associated with SSI in colorectal cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of tinnitus complaint. METHOD: The information of 628 patients with subjective tinnitus was collected using questionnaires from October, 2013 to June, 2014. Among them, 453 cases were included in this study, whose quality of life and sleep were significantly affected. Then we elucidated the features of tinnitus, tinnitus incentives and systemic diseases and analyzed their relationship. RESULT: The proportion of the patients complaint was highest in gruop ≤ 30 y. The patients with tinnitus complaint were more likely to have persistent tinnitus with higher loudness VAS scores than their counterparts. 65.4% of the total patients had at least one treatment (52.2% of patients can tolerate, and only 13. 2% can not tolerate). More patients had cranial Ming on the left than on the right ear. The proportion of patients with polyphony in bilateral tinnitus was higher than those with unilateral tinnitus (P < 0.05). Moreover, 59% patients had tinnitus inducing factors, and 44% patients had systemic comorbidities (The three most frequently involved systems were otolaryngologic, cardiovascular and digestive system). There was no significantly statistical difference of the tinnitus severity between patients with other systematic diseases and those without. CONCLUSION Patients with tinnitus complaint were younger in age (≤ 30 y) and more likely to have persistent tinnitus with higher loudness VAS scores Predisposing factors are closely associated with mental or physical trauma. The accompanied diseases can be classified by organ system.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of pleomorphic giant cell adenocarcinoma (PGCA) of the prostate, and to strengthen the understanding of this rare variant.Methods:From January 2009 to December 2019, 383 pathological samples of prostate adenocarcinoma with Gleason scores of 8-10 were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital, Army Medical University. PGCA was screened by reviewing the histomorphology of hematoxylin and eosin stained sections. Then the expression of prostate specific markers and mismatch repair (MMR) proteins of PGCA were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and microsatellite instability (MSI) status was detected through polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-capillary electrophoresis. Meanwhile, the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of PGCA were summarized and analyzed along with those reported in the literature.Results:Three patients with PGCA of the prostate were 68, 63 and 71 years old respectively, and case 1 had a history of transurethral resection of the prostate and oral bicalutamide 3 months before surgery. All 3 patients underwent radical prostatectomy and received endocrine therapy, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, and died at 18, 23, and 10 months after surgery, respectively. Histologically, both the usual prostate adenocarcinoma with Gleason score of 9-10 and the pleomorphic giant cell component with anaplastic characteristics were observed in 3 tumors, and the latter accounted for 90%, 10%, and 20%, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining showed that both components expressed epithelial markers (CK, CK8/18) and prostate-specific markers (NKX3.1, PSA, P504S) to varying degrees, and the expression of MMR proteins (MSH2, MSH6, MLH1 and PMS2) were not defective. MSI was not detected in the usual prostate adenocarcinoma and pleomorphic giant cell components obtained by microdissection in 3 cases. Combined with 10 cases reported in the literature, there were totally 13 cases of PGCA for reviewing. The patients were 45-81 years old, the average age was 66 years old, and the median age was 66 years old. During the follow-up period of 3-36 months, 7 cases relapsed/metastasized, 6 cases died within 23 months after diagnosis, and 4 of which died within 1 year.Conclusions:PGCA is a newly recognized rare variant of prostate adenocarcinoma. At present, all cases are accompanied with high-grade usual prostate adenocarcinoma with Gleason score of 9-10, but it is different from the latter in pathological morphology and clinical manifestations, by presenting high invasiveness and poor prognosis. PGCA is not sensitive to conventional endocrine therapy, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Accurate diagnosis of PGCA is helpful to judge the prognosis of patients and guide the treatment.
