Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of dezocine, fentanyl and sufentanil at the equivalent dose on hemodynam-ics, sedation and analgesia in fibrobronchoscope-guided. Methods:A total of ninety patients with anticipated difficult airways expected to be nasally intubated using fibrobronchoscope were enrolled and randomly divided into three groups:dezocine group ( group D) , fent-anyl group ( group F) and fentanyl group ( group S) . Ten minutes before the intubation, each group was intravenously given dezocine 0. 15mg ·kg-1 , fentanyl 3μg ·kg-1 and sufentanil 0. 2μg·kg-1 , respectively. The values of HR, MAP and SPO2 were recorded respectively at the time when the patients entered the operation room ( T0 ) , before the bronchoscopy-guided tracheal intubation ( T1 ) , after the intubation ( T2 ) and 5 minutes after the intubation ( T3 ) . The Ramsay sedation score before the intubation and adverse reac-tions during the intubation were also observed. Results: In group F and group S, HR and MAP decreased significantly at T1 ( P<0. 05). The levels of SPO2 decreased significantly at T1 and MAP increased significantly at T2 in the three groups (P<0. 05). The levels of HR, MAP and SpO2 in group F and group S were lower than those in group D (P<0. 05). The levels of HR and MAP in group F at T2 were higher than those in group D and group S, and SPO2 was dropped significantly in group F and group S (P<0. 05). The levels of HR in group S dropped significantly, and were lower than those in the other two groups. MAP in group F was higher than those in the other two groups (P<0. 05). From the Ramsay sedation analysis, the scores of the three groups increased significantly and the score in group S was higher than that in group F (P <0. 05). The incidence of nausea and respiratory depression in group F was significantly higher than that in group D (P<0. 05). The incidence of agitation in group F was significantly higher than that of group S (P<0. 05). The incidence of respiratory depression in group S was significantly higher than that of group D and group F (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Dezocine combined with surface anesthesia has a slight effect on hemodynamics during the tracheal intubation guided by bronchoscopy in the patients with difficult airways. The incidence of reverse reactions of dezocine is lower than that of fenta-nyl and sufentanil.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of losartan in regulating oxidative stress and the underlying mechanism in mice with ventilator-induced lung injury.

METHODSThirty-six male C57 mice were randomly divided into control group, losartan treatment group, mechanical ventilation model group, and ventilation plus losartan treatment group. After the corresponding treatments, the lung injuries in each group were examined and the expressions of caveolin-1 and NOX4 in the lung tissues were detected.

RESULTSThe mean Smith score of lung injury was significantly higher in mechanical ventilation model group (3.3) than in the control group (0.4), and losartan treatment group (0.3); the mean score was significantly lowered in ventilation plus losartan treatment group (2.3) compared with that in the model group (P<0.05). The expressions of caveolin-1 and NOX4 were significantly higher in the model group than in the control and losartan treatment groups (P<0.05) but was obviously lowered after losartan treatment (P<0.05). Co-expression of caveolin-1 and NOX4 in the lungs was observed in the model group, and was significantly decreased after losartan treatment.

CONCLUSIONLosartan can alleviate ventilator-induced lung injury in mice and inhibit the expression of caveolin-1 and NOX4 and their interaction in the lungs.

Objective:To investigate the latent classes and influencing factors of vicarious posttraumatic growth among emergency nurses.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select the 498 emergency nurses of 20 public general hospitals in Anhui province as the survey objects. The general information questionnaire and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory were used to investigate. Latent class analysis was used to classify vicarious posttraumatic growth of emergency nurses, and the influencing factors of latent classes were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Results:There were two latent classes of vicarious posttraumatic growth of emergency nurses including high growth-high fluctuation group (24.1%, 120/498) and low growth group (75.9%, 378/498). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that professional title, average monthly income and self-rated health status were the factors influencing the latent classes (all P<0.05). Conclusions:There are obvious classification characteristics of vicarious posttraumatic growth among emergency nurses. Nursing managers should formulate and implement targeted intervention measures according to the classification characteristics and influencing factors to improve their vicarious posttraumatic growth level.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of exosomes secreted by lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated macrophages on hepatic stellate cell activation and migration and explore the underlying molecular mechanism. METHODS: Human monocyte THP-1 cells were induced to differentiate into macrophages using propylene glycol methyl ether acetic acid (PMA, 100 ng/mL, 24 h) followed by stimulation with LPS, and the culture supernatant of macrophages was collected for extraction of the exosomes by ultracentrifugation. The expression of miR-155-5p in the exosomes was detected using qRT-PCR. A Transwell co-culture system was used to observe the effects of the macrophage-derived exosomes on LX2 cell (a hepatic stellate cell line) proliferation, migration, oxidative stress and the expression of fibrosis biomarkers, which were also observed in LX2 cells transfected with miR-155-5p-mimics or miR-155-5p-inhibitors. Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of SOCS1 and its downstream signal pathway proteins. RESULTS: Treatment with the exosomes from LPS-stimulated macrophages significantly enhanced the proliferation and migration ability of LX2 cells and increased the levels of oxidative stress and expressions of the fibrosis markers such as type Ⅰ collagen (P < 0.05). The expression of miR-155-5p in the exosomes secreted by macrophages was significantly increased after LPS treatment (P < 0.01). LX2 cells overexpressing miR-155-5p also exhibited significantly enhanced proliferation and migration with increased oxidative stress levels and expression of type Ⅰ collagen (P < 0.05), and interference of miR-155-5p expression produced the opposite effects. Western blotting showed that miR-155-5p overexpression obviously inhibited SOCS1 expression and promoted p-Smad2/3, Smad2/3 and RhoA protein expressions in LX2 cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION LPS stimulation of the macrophages increases miR-155-5p expression in the exosomes to promote activation and migration and increase oxidative stress and collagen production in hepatic stellate cells.

Objective To explore the optimal ratio of Baitong decoction based on efficacy,clarify its spectrum-effect relationship,and identify its potential quality markers.Methods An ulcerative colitis(UC)model in mice was established using dextran sulfate sodium.The efficacy of Baitong decoction with varying drug ratios was assessed by evaluating the apparent score,pathological score and inflammatory factor changes of UC in each group of experimental animals.The fingerprints of Baitong decoction with different ratios were established by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),and the relationship between the content of each substance and its efficacy was analyzed by partial least squares regression to determine the potential quality markers of Baitong decoction.Results Baitong decoction was most effective in relieving ulcerative colitis when the mass ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai was 1∶2∶2.The fingerprinting identified 14 common peaks across 7 ratios,with 9 peaks were found to be associated with the remission of ulcerative colitis by partial least squares regression analysis.Conclusion The optimal ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai for treating UC is 1∶2∶2.The spectrum-effect relationship analysis suggested that the quality markers of Baitong decoction may be the substances represented by peak 2(benzoylaconine),3,5,6,8(mesaconine),9(aconitine),10(hypaconitine),13(10-gingerol)and 14.

Frailty and trauma are closely related, and together affect the health outcomes of elderly trauma patients. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the frailty of elderly trauma patients in China. This paper reviews the relationship between frailty and trauma, assessment tools and management of frailty in elderly trauma patients, in order to provide a new perspective of nursing care for elderly trauma patients in China and to provide references for carrying out research on frailty in elderly trauma patients.
