Objective To evaluate the effect of perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine on postoperative ileus after laparocolectomy.Methods Sixty patients scheduled for abdominal surgery were randomly divided into two groups,30 in each group.Group D received dexme-detomidine administeration at a loading dose of 0.6 μg/kg for 10 minutes before induction,followed by an infusion rate of 0.5 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 to 30 min before the end of surgery.The control group re-ceived saline instead of Dex.After the surgery,Group C received intravenous sufentanyl 2 μg/kg, while group D sufentanyl 2 μg/kg combined with Dex 2 μg/kg.Heart rate variability (HRV)were detected before Dex infusion (T0 ),10 minutes after intubation (T1 ), 10 minutes after CO 2 insufflation (T2 ),1 hour after CO 2 insufflation (T3 ),10 minutes after CO 2 desufflation (T4 ),and 10 minutes after extubation(T5 ).The plasma concentrations of epinephrine(E)and norepinephrine (NE)were determined at T0 ,T3 ,T5 ,T7 and T1 0.The recovery of bowel function was evaluated in terms of the first time to fart and intake food.Results Compared with T0 ,HRV of power (TP), high-frequency (HF)power,low-frequency (LF)power and the ratio of LF/HF power were signifi-cantly decreased at T1-T4 in group C and at T1-T5 in group D.The plasma concentrations of E and NE were higher at T3 ,T5 ,T7 and T1 0 in both group C and group D (P <0.05).Compared with T1 ,TP, LF and the ratio of LF/HF were increased at T2-T4 (P <0.05).Compared with group C,TP,LF and the ratio of LF/HF were decreased at T2-T5 ,The plasma concentrations of E and NE were decreased at T3 ,T5 ,T7 and T10 and the time of first flatus was earlier(P <0.05).Conclusion The perioperative ad-ministration of dexmedetomidine during laparocolectomy facilitated the early recovery of bowel func-tion after surgery and decreasede the time of postoperative ileus.

Objective To evaluate the role of C-Jun N-Terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in dexmedetomidine-induced reduction of spinal neurotoxicity induced by lidocaine in rats.Methods Seventy-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 280-320 g, in which intrathecal catheters were successfully implanted without complications, were randomly divided into 6 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table: control group (group C);SP600125 (JNK signaling pathway blocker) group (group SP);dexmedetomidine group (group D);lidocaine group (group L);dexmedetomidine + lidocaine group (group DL);SP600125+lidocaine group (group SPL).Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 20 μl was injected intrathecally in group C.SP600125 30 μg and 10％ lidocaine 20 μl were injected intrathecally in SP and L groups, respectively.At 20 min after intrathecal injection of 10％ lidocaine, dexmedetomidine 75 μg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in group DL, and SP600125 30 μg was injected intrathecally in group SPL.Dexmedetomidine 75 μg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in group D.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured before intrathecal catheters were implanted (T0), before intrathecal administration (T1), and at 4, 8 and 12 h and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 days after intrathecal administration (T2-10).At 24 h after intrathecal administration, 6 rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed.The lumbar segment (L4-5) of the spinal cord was removed for detection of cell apoptosis (by TUNEL) and phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK) expression (by Western blot).The apoptotic index was calculated.Results Compared with group C, no significant change was found in the MWT, TWL, apoptotic index and expression of p-JNK in SP and D groups (P＞0.05), the MWT at T2-8 in group L, at T2-6 in group DL and at T2-5 in group SPL were significantly increased, the TWL at T2-8 in group L, at T2-5 in group DL and at T2-4 in group SPL were prolonged, and the apoptotic index and expression of p-JNK were increased in DL, SPL and L groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group L, the MWT was significantly decreased, and the TWL was shortened at T2-8, and the apoptotic index and expression of p-JNK were decreased in DL and SPL groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine mitigates spinal neurotoxicity induced by lidocaine is related to inhibited activation of JNK signaling pathway in rats.

Objective To explore the application and effects of bone lengthening growth diary in self management of patients after lower limb lengthening. Methods A total of 54 cases applying lower limb lengthening were divided into the experimental group (n=28) and the control group (n=26) with random digit table. The basic treatment was consistent, the control group was given routine guidance, the experi-mental group implemented self- management with bone lengthening growth diary. Self- recognition of disease was assessed and compared between the two groups 12 weeks after operation. Self- efficacy and self- manage ment were assessed and compared between the two groups 2 and 12 weeks after operation. Results The self- recognition of disease in the observation group was better than that of the control group, for patients with higher self- recognition degree (21 cases vs. 10 cases), χ2=8.64, P<0.05, the difference was significantly different. The total scores of self- efficacy and self- management in the observation group were higher than those of the control group,(48. 42±3.43) vs.(34.14±4.13),t=11.750, P<0.01;(55.35±2.69) vs.(42.15±3.67), t=15.130, P<0.01, the difference was significantly different. Conclusions Bone lengthening growth diary plays a beneficial role on self-management of patients with lower limb lengthening.

Objective To explore the similarities and differences between finger photoplethysmogram (PPG) and CSI in monitoring the depth of anaesthesia in Chinese adults under general anaesthesia. Methods Ninety-three patients, ASA ⅠorⅡ, aged 20-67, under general anaesthesia were enrolled. Anaesthesia was induced with target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol. The initial TCI concentration of propofol was set at 0.5 mg·L-1 followed by increments of 0.5 mg·L-1 at 3-min interval until the score of Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (MOAAS)reached 0. PPG and CSI were continuously monitored and their values were recorded every 2-4 seconds. MOAAS was recorded every 30 seconds to evaluate the sedation level in the study period. ResultsFor the periodfrom pre-induction to pre-intubation, the difference of photoplethysmogram amplitudevalues had statistical significance between level 4 and level 3, level 3 and level 2 of MOAAS (P<0.05). CSIvalues declined along with the decrease of MOAAS levels and were statistically different between every two neighboring levels of MOAAS (P < 0.05). Photoplethysmogram amplitude (PPGA) and pulse beat interval (PBI) values showed significant differences before and after intubation, pre- and post-incision (P < 0.05). Conclusions PPGA and PBI appear to be suitable to monitor the nociceptive component of balanced general anesthesia , while the CSI exhibits a good performance in monitoring the sedation or hypnotic component of balanced general anesthesia , thusthe combination of PPGA and CSI would benefit the monitoring of the adequacy of depth of anaesthesia.

This study was aimed to observe the therapeutic effect onendometritis rat model by Gui-Zhi Fu-Ling (GZFL) capsuleand its mechanism. Endometritis rat model was replicated. After 15 days, rats were randomly divided into six groups, which were the sham operation group, model group, lowdosage (0.5 g·kg-1) of GZFL capsule group, middle dosage (1.0 g·kg-1) of GZFL capsule group, large dosage (2.0 g·kg-1) of GZFL capsule group, and Fu-Ke Qian-Jin (FKQJ) capsule (1.2 g·kg-1) group. After 28-day intragastric administration of medication, pathological changes of endometrium were observed. The contents of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-10 (IL-10) were determined in blood serum.The expression of TGF-β1 in endometritis rats were measured by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that GZFL capsule canobviously alleviate the pathologi-cal damage of endometrium in rat model. In comparison with sham operation group, the serum IL-10 content in the model group was significantly decreased, contents of MCP-1and IL-1β were significantly elevated; the TGF-β1 pro-tein expression was significantly elevatedin the uterus tissues. After the treatment of GZFL capsule, compared with the model group, the serum IL-10 was obviously elevated in the treatment group. The contents of MCP-1 and IL-1βwere obviously decreased. The expression of TGF-β1 in the uterus tissues was obviously decreased. It was concluded that GZFL capsule had treatment effect on endometritis. The mechanism may be related to the regulation of inflam-matory cytokines.

This article was aimed to study the inhibitory effect of ginseng polysaccharide injection on tumor growth a-mong ICR mice after inoculation of S180 cells, and its immune mechanism as well as its synergic effect in reducing toxicity of cytoxan (CTX). The experiment was carried out in ICR mice after inoculation of S180 cells. The mice were randomly divided into the model group, the control group, the CTX group, and the drug combination group. After 10 days of medication, the inhibition of tumor growth, WBC, thymus index and spleen index were measured in mice dur-ing the experiment. The immunodepressed mice model was induced by CTX. Effects of ginseng polysaccharide injec-tion on serum hemolysin and monomuclear macrophage phagocytosis were evaluated. The results showed that the com-bination of ginseng polysaccharide injection and CTX can significantly increase the tumor inhibiting rate. It can also reduce the side effect and toxicity of CTX, which may improve the immunosuppression induced by CTX. It was con-cluded that ginseng polysaccharide injection can increase the therapeutic effects and reduce the toxicity of CTX.
