Objective To observe the effect of ketamine preemptive analgesia on postoperative pain and recovery in laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods Eighty LC patients under general anesthesia with propofol and remifentany were randomly divided into two groups of PR and PRK with 40 cases each. The patients in group PRK were given additional low-dose ketamine 0.3 mg/kg before skin incision. Recovery from anesthesia was evaluated at 30 min, 1 h and 12 h after surgery by SS and VRS scoring. Results There were no significant differences in the time for regaining spontaneous breathing,opening eyes and extubation between the two groups. But recovery of anesthesia was with less restlessness and VRS pain scores, better sedation in group PRK than those in group PR (P< 0.05). Conclusion Preemptive intravenous analgesia with low-dose ketamine has the advantage of quicker recovery from anesthesia with less incidence of restlessness and pain in LC patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of puerarin for prevention of brain injury in the patients undergoing open heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Thirty ASA physical status Ⅲ patients of both sexes,aged 50-64 yr,weighing 50-75 kg,scheduled for elective cardiac valve replacement under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table:control group(group C) and puerarin group (group P).Puerarin 400 mg was infused intravenously over 30 min immediately at skin incision in group P and the equal volume of 5％ glucose-sodium chloride injection was given in group C.Before induction of anesthesia (T0),at 30 min of CPB (T1),immediately after aortic unclamping (T2),and at 6,12 and 24 h after termination of CPB (T3.5),blood samples were collected from the jugular venous bulb for determination of the plasma concentration of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S-100 β protein.P300 eventrelated potential latency and amplitude were determined and cognitive function was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score at 1 day before surgery and 7 days after surgery.The patients were diagnosed as having post-operative cognitive dysfunction when MMSE score before surgery-MMSE score after surgery ≥ 2,or when M MSE score≤ 24.Results Compared with group C,the concentrations of plasma NSE and S-100 β protein were significantly decreased at T15,and P300 event-related potential latency was shortened,P300 event-related potential amplitude was increased,and the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was decreased at 7 days after operation in group P.Conclusion Puerarin can prevent the brain injury in the patients undergoing open heart surgery under CPB.

Objective: To analyze the attributable burden of smoking on the deaths of cardio-cerebral vascular diseases (CCVD) in inhabitants aged 30 years and above in Jiangsu Province. Methods: Comparative risk assessment approach in Global Burden of Disease (GBD) was used with the data from Jiangsu Non-communicable Disease and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and Death Monitoring Surveillance System in 2013, and population attributable fraction (PAF), years of life lost (YLL), work of potential years of life lost, index of life lost and life loss attributed to smoking were calculated. Results: In 2013, there were 162 158 CCVD deaths aged 30 years and above in the surveillance areas of Jiangsu Province, of which 25 102 deaths were attributed to smoking (PAF: 15.48%, attributed mortality rate: 55.13/100 000). The YLL, work of potential years of life lost and index of life lost were 532 494 person years, 78 024 person years and 9.15 years respectively. The decline of life expectancy was 0.58 years. The PAF of CCVD attributed to smoking in male and female were 27.97% and 3.18%, respectively, and the mortality rate of cardio-cerebral diseases attributed to smoking in male and female were 100.13/100 000 and 11.27/100 000, respectively. The burden of ischemic heart disease and hemorrhagic stroke were most severe, with standardized YLL rate were 3.65‰ and 3.20‰, respectively. Conclusion Smoking caused a great burden of cardio-cerebral disease deaths in inhabitants in Jiangsu province.

Objective: To analyze the disease burden of stroke and its health loss attributable to passive smoking in people aged 60 years and over in Jiangsu province. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Chronic and Non-communicable Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance in Jiangsu in 2013 and the death registry system in Jiangsu. Combined with the method in Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 (GBD2016), the indicators, such as population attributable fraction (PAF) and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) for stroke due to passive smoking were calculated. Results: In 2013, the mortality rate, age-standardized mortality rate, DALY and DALY rate of stroke in people aged 60 years and over in Jiangsu were 718.15/100 000, 439.28/100 000, 1 179 602 person years and 9 234.99/100 000, respectively. Year of life lost (YLL) accounted for 87.00% of the total DALY. The DALY and corresponding rate of stroke increased rapidly with age, and were higher in women (612 084 person years and 9 319.71/100 000, respectively) than those in men (567 518 person years and 9 145.33/100 000, respectively). The prevalence of passive smoking was 34.04% in people aged 60 years and over in Jiangsu. The PAF, attributable DALY, attributable DALY rate and its age- standardized rate of stroke due to passive smoking in people aged 60 years and over in Jiangsu were 3.88%, 45 769 person years, 358.12/100 000 and 920.64/100 000, respectively; and were also higher for men (4.35%, 24 687 person years, 397.82/100 000 and 515.30/100 000, respectively) than those for women (3.44%, 21 056 person years, 320.60/100 000, 405.34/100 000, respectively). Conclusions The disease burden of stroke was heavy in the elderly in Jiangsu, and passive smoking might have great influence on the disease burden of stroke. Prevention and control of stroke and passive smoking exposure should be taken actively to improve health for the elderly.

Objective: To evaluate the risk of 10-year risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease (ICVD) in patients with type 2 diabetes aged 35 years old and above in two cities of Jiangsu province. Methods: From December 2013 to January 2014, a total of 15 624 patients with type 2 diabetes aged 35 years old and above, who received national basic public health service in Changshu county of Suzhou city, Huai′an and Qinghe districts of Huai′an city, Jiangsu province, were recruited by cluster sampling method. Face-to-face questionnaire survey, anthropometric and laboratory measurements were conducted to collect exposures to ICVD risk factors. Improved Ten Year Risk Assessment Table of ICVD in Chinese was used to assess the risk score and the absolute risk of developing ICVD. Results: The participants were (62.2±9.7) years old, of which 6 137 were men (39.3%). Among the participants, the highest rate of exposure to ICVD risk factors was high systolic blood pressure (74.8%, n=11 685), followed by high total cholesterol (70.7%, n= 11 051).The score of 10-year risk for ICVD was (10.4±3.3) and the median (P₂₅-P₇₅) value of absolute risk was 15.6% (6.8%-32.7%). 16.7% (n=2 602) participants were under extremely high risk of 10-year risk for ICVD, 23.8% (n=3 714) under high-risk and 24.0% (n=3 746) under middle-risk. Among the total risk score of ICVD, age (49.1%), hypertension (17.7%) and diabetes (15.5%) accounted for relatively high proportion, however, smoking (11.0%) was the most important risk factor except for age (47.4%) and systolic blood pressure (20.5%) in male participants. Conclusion Patients with type 2 diabetes aged 35 years old and above in two cities of Jiangsu Province have a high risk of developing ICVD for 10 years, especially in elderly, female, hypertension patients and male smokers.
