OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of dexmedetomidine combined with ulinastatin on stress reaction indexes,ex-travascular lung water value(EVLW)and pulmonary vascular permeability indexes(PVPI)and other parameters in one-lung venti-lation(OLV)lobectomy patients. METHODS:A total of 80 patients underwent OLV lobectomy selected from the Affiliated Hospi-tal of Southwest Medical University during Nov. 2015-Nov. 2016 were divided into control group (group N),ulinastatin pretreat-ment group(group U),dexmedetomidine continuous pump group(group D),ulinastatin pretreatment+dexmedetomidine continu-ous pump group(group U+D),with 20 cases in each group. Thirty min before anesthesia induction,all patients were given atro-pine sulfate 0.5 mg intramuscularly and received catheterization of right internal jugular vein and ipsilateral femoral artery under lo-cal anesthesia. Based on that,group N was given 0.9％ Sodium chloride injection 100 mL intravenously;group U was given sodi-um chloride mixed solution 100 mL containing Ulinastatin for injection 200000 U intravenously;group D was given continuous in-travenous pump of Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection 2 μg/mL mixed with sodium chloride mixed solution at 1 μg/(kg·h), and after induction intravenous pump at 0.5 μg/(kg·h)until the end of surgery;group U+D was given Sodium chloride mixed so-lution containing 200000 U ulinastatin 50 mL and 4 μg/mL dexmedetomidine sodium chloride mixed solution 50 mL intravenously (same dose as above during induction period and maintenance period). The levels of blood glucose,partial pressure of oxy-gen [p(O2)],adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH),norepi-nephrine (NE),heart rate (HR),cardiac output (CO),sys-temic vascular resistance(SVR),EVLW and PVPI were com-pared among 4 groups 30 min before anesthesia induction(T1),2 h after the beginning of surgery(T2),immediately after extuba-tion(T3)and 12 h after surgery(T4). Liquid intake and output volume were recorded during T2-T4. The occurrence of ADR among 4 groups was observed. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in each index among 4 groups at T1 (P>0.05). During T2-T4,the levels of blood glucose,ACTH,NE,SVR,EVLW and PVPI in group N were significantly higher than other 3 groups, and group U and D were significantly higher than group U+D,with statistical significance(P<0.05);there was no statistical sig-nificance between U and D(P>0.05). The levels of p(O2)and CO in groups U+D were significantly higher than other 3 groups, with statistical significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance among other 3 groups (P>0.05). HR of group N and U were significantly higher than other 2 groups,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance be-tween group N and U,between group D and U+D(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in liquid intake or output vol-ume among 4 groups (P>0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 4 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Dexmedetomidine combined with ulinastatin can significantly relieve stress reaction,and reduce the levels of part blood flow and respiratory dynamics indexes as EV-LW,PVPI in patients with OLV lobectomy so as to play lung protective effect.

Objective:To explore new methods to assist the diagnosis of glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1-DS).Methods:Sixteen children with epilepsy and/or movement disorder carrying the SLC2A1 mutation who admitted to Department of Pediatrics, the First Medical Center, Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital and Department of Nutrition, Shanghai Deji Hospital from October 2019 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.GLUT1-DS was diagnosed based on clinical phenotype, glucose level in CSF and/or genetic testing results.Forty-four healthy children who underwent physical examination in the First Medical Center, Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital during the same period were selected as healthy control group.Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) level on the membrane surface of peripheral red blood cells and erythrocyte glucose uptake rate were measured by flow cytometry and glucose oxidase method, respectively.Their differences between groups were compared by the rank sum test.The receiver operating cha-racteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to assess their diagnostic value. Results:Sixteen children were diagnosed as GLUT1-DS.GLUT1 levels of 16 children with GLUT1-DS were significantly lower than those of healthy control group [17.96% (13.43%, 22.12%) vs.27.93% (24.76%, 34.30%), Z=5.249, P<0.001]. Area under curve (AUC) was 0.946, and weighted Kappa was 0.791 ( P<0.001). The erythrocyte glucose uptake was measured in 12 children with GLUT1-DS, which was significantly lower than that of healthy control group [23.14% (14.80%, 26.45%) vs.27.40% (24.61%, 32.82%), Z=2.366, P=0.018]. AUC and weighted Kappa were 0.724 and 0.344, respectively ( P<0.001), showing a poor consistency. Conclusions:GLUT1 level on the surface of human erythrocyte membrane measured by flow cytometry may be a new method to assist the diagnosis of GLUT1-DS.The erythrocyte glucose uptake rate test requires stricter experimental conditions and needs further investigation.

The recommended doses for sunitinib, axitinib, and pazopanib are 50mg qd, 5mg q12h, and 800mg qd, respectively. The primary endpoint of this study was disease-free survival (DFS), and the secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Statistical analyses were performed using R v4.2.2. Confounding factors were adjusted using propensity score weighting. Results:The median follow-up time for DFS was 29 months in the adjuvant therapy group and not reached in the control group, while median follow-up time for OS was 28 and 26 months, respectively. In the univariate Cox regression analysis, there were no statistically significant difference in the impact of all baseline characteristics and exposure factors on DFS and OS between the two groups. In survival analysis, there were no significant difference between DFS and OS curves of patients in the adjuvant therapy group and the control group (DFS, P=0.62; OS, P=0.74). The median DFS of patients in the adjuvant therapy group and the control group were 17 and 19 months, respectively, while the median OS was 43 and 27 months. After adjusting for confounding factors, the median DFS of patients in the adjuvant therapy group and the control group were 26 and 12 months, respectively, and the median OS remained 43 and 27 months, with no significant difference (DFS, P=0.81; OS, P=0.40). Conclusion:There is currently a lack of definitive evidence for survival benefit from adjuvant anti-VEGF/VEGFR targeted therapy in patients with cM0 nccRCC-VTT after surgery.

Objective:To understand the sleep quality and mental health status of nurses in public health emergencies, and analyze the correlation between them.Methods:A total of 128 first-line nursing staff participating in public health emergencies on February 22-23, 2020 in Tianjin Beichen Hospital, Tianjin First Central Hospital, Tianjin Fourth Central Hospital were investigated by the general data questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90).Results:70.3%(90/128) of nursing staff had poor sleep quality, and the total score of PSQI was (9.71±4.01) points, which was statistically significant compared with the domestic norm ( t value was 16.479, P<0.01). The total score of SCL-90 was 1.59±0.52, which was statistically significant compared with the domestic norm ratio ( t value was 4.505, P<0.01). One-way ANOVA showed that the nursing staff's age had a significant impact on sleep quality, and the difference was statistically significant ( F value was 4.092, P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the Pittsburgh sleep quality scale index scores and symptom self-assessment scale and somatization, force, sensitive interpersonal relationship, depression, anxiety, hostile, terrorist, paranoia, and psychosis were positively correlated( r values were 0.292-0.444, P< 0.01). Conclusions:The sleep quality and mental health status of nurses in public health emergencies are poor, and the sleep quality is correlated with mental health status.
