Objective To investigate the changes of pH of cerebralspinal fluid (CSFpH) and intracranial pressure(ICP) in the brain tumor patients during nurosurgery, in order to explore the measures for regulating ICP during these procedures Methods Forty-five patients suffering from brain tumor, scheduled for nurosurgery under diazepam-fentanyl-sodium thiopental-atracurium anesthesia, were randomly selected CSFpH and ICP were measured concomitantly during different phases of operation, including pre-anesthetic,post-anethetic periods, tracheal intubation, incision of the durae, excision of tumor and extubationResults As compared with those before anesthesia ,ICP increased gradually and CSFpH decreased gradually after the induction of anesthesia (P

Objective To determine the median effective target plasma concentration (EC50) of propofol inhibiting the response to laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion when combined with dexmedetomidine.Methods ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 20-60 yr,with body mass index 20-25 kg/m2,scheduled for surgeries under general anesthesia,were studied.EC50 of propofol was determined by modified Dixon' s up-and-down sequential experiment.After dexmedetomidine 1.0 μg/kg was infused over 10 min,propofol was infused by targetcontrolled infusion.The initial target plasma concentration of propofol was set at 3.0 μg/ml.LMA was inserted when the target effect-site concentration of propofol and target plasma concentration of propofol reached the balance and BIS value was 50-60.Each time the target concentration increased/decreased by 0.2 μg/ml according to the occurrence of the response to LMA insertion.The response to LMA insertion was defined as the occurrence of coughing,body movement,laryngospasm or systemic voluntary movement.EC50 and 95 ％ confidence interval (CI)of propofol for inhibition of the response to LMA insertion were calculated.Results The EC50 of propofol required for inhibition of the response to LMA insertion was 2.351 (95％ Cl 1.737-2.600) μg/ml when combined with dexmedetomidine 1.0 μg/kg.Conclusion The EC50 of propofol inhibiting the response to LMA insertion is 2.351 μg/ml when combined with dexmedetomidine.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect and mechanism of down-regulating lncRNA TTTY15 targeting miR-4500 on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of A172 glioma cells. METHODS: The difference in TTTY15 expression between the glioma cells and tissue was determined with a qRT-PCR method. Complementary binding sites of TTTY15 and miR-4500 were predicted with Starbase software, and the targeting relationship was validated with a luciferase reporter system. A172 glioma cells were divided into Control, si-NC (transfected with control siRNA), si-TTTY15 (transfected with TTTY15 siRNA), si-TTTY15+Anti-miR-NC (co-transfected with TTTY15 siRNA and inhibitor control) and si-TTTY15+Anti-miR-4500 (co-transfected with TTTY15 siRNA and miR-4500 inhibitor) groups. Proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion, and the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins of the A172 glioma cells were respectively detected with CCK-8, flow cytometry, Transwell chamber and Western blotting assays. RESULTS: The expression of TTTY15 in glioma cells and glioma tissues have both increased. The expression levels of TTTY15 and miR-4500 in glioma tissues were inversely correlated. TTTY15 and miR-4500 are mutually targeted. Compared with those of the Control and si-NC groups, the glioma cells in the si-TTTY15 group showed increased level of miR-4500, decreased survival rate, increased apoptosis rate, enhanced cell migration and invasion, increased expression of Bax protein, and decreased expression of Bcl-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins (P<0.05). Compared with those of the si-TTTY15+Anti-miR-NC group, the A172 glioma cells in the si-TTTY15+Anti-miR-4500 group showed decreased level of miR-4500, increased cell survival rate, decreased apoptosis rate, enhanced cell migration and invasion, decreased expression of Bax protein, and increased expression of Bcl-2, MMP-2, and MMP-9 proteins (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Down-regulating TTTY15 targeting miR-4500 can inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and induce apoptosis of the A172 glioma cells.

Paeonol, quercetin, -sitosterol, and gallic acid extracted from MoutanCortex had been reported to possess anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antitumoractivities. This work aimed to illustrate the potential anti-oxidative mechanismof monomers in human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells-induced byhydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and to evaluate whether the hepatoprotective effect ofmonomers was independence or synergy in mice stimulated by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4). Monomers protected against oxidative stress in HepG2 cells in a doseresponsemanner by inhibiting the generation of reactive oxygen species, increasingtotal antioxidant capacity, catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, andactivating the antioxidative pathway of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/KelchlikeECH-associated protein 1 (Nrf2/Keap1) signaling pathway. We found that thein vitro antioxidant capacities of paeonol and quercetin were better than those of-sitosterol and gallic acid. Furthermore, paeonol apparently diminished the levelsof alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase, augmented the contentsof glutathione and SOD, promoted the expressions of Nrf2 and heme oxygenase-1proteins in mice stimulated by CCl4. In HepG2 cells, paeonol, quercetin, -sitosterol,and gallic acid play a defensive role against H2O2-induced oxidative stress throughactivating Nrf2/Keap1 pathway, indicating that these monomers have anti-oxidativeproperties. Totally, paeonol and quercetin exerted anti-oxidative and hepatoprotectiveeffects, which is independent rather than synergy.

Objective:To compare the effectiveness and recurrence rate of different types of mesh or without mesh in laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair.Methods:From Jan 2016 to Mar 2022 at the three hospital 90 patients with hiatal hernia, including 26 cases without mesh, 29 cases using synthetic mesh, and 35 cases using biological mesh underwent laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair.Results:The surgical procedures was successful in all the 90 cases without conversion to open surgeny. There were no statistically significant differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay among the three groups ( P>0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in hospital cost between the group without mesh and synthetic mesh and biological mesh ( P<0.05). Long-term follow-up was achieved in 87 patients, with a follow-up rate of 96.7% (87/90), and a median follow-up time of 44 months. There were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative complications (diarrhea, dysphagia, abdominal distension, chest pain), recurrence rate of symptoms (acid reflux, heartburn) and patient satisfaction among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair, the mesh should be carefully selected according to the specific intraoperative situation for a satisfactory clinical efficacy.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of chronic postoperative inguinal pain for laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair and establish a nomogram prediction model for it.Methods:The clinical data of 576 patients who underwent laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair for inguinal pain at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2015 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to different postoperative outcomes, patients were divided into chronic pain group ( n=54) and non-chronic pain group ( n=522), compared two groups of patients in the material, including gender, age, BMI, smoking history, history of drinking, hypertension, diabetes, chronic bronchitis, abdominal surgery history, history of inguinal hernia, hernia type, the hernial sac size, prophylactic use of antibiotics, VAS score, mesh fixation techniques, operation time, length of stay. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as ( ± s) and independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparision between groups. Chi-square test was used to compare the measurement data of counting data.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain. R software was used to establish the drawing of the nomogram prediction model, and the consistency index, calibration chart and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive ability of the nomogram prediction model. Results:According to the results of the Logistic regression analysis, age≤45 years ( OR=2.202, 95% CI: 1.080-4.491), BMI≥24 kg/m 2 ( OR=2.231, 95% CI: 1.204-4.134), hernial sac≤5 cm ( OR=2.623, 95% CI: 1.309-5.257), recurrent hernia ( OR=2.769, 95% CI: 1.118-6.860), preoperative pain ( OR=4.121, 95% CI: 2.004-8.476), suture fixation ( OR=2.204, 95% CI: 1.151-4.219)and Postoperative acute pain (VAS>3) ( OR=5.814, 95% CI: 2.532-13.350) were independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain ( P<0.05). Based upon the above independent risk factors, the nomogram prediction model was established and verified. The area under the curve of the nomogram prediction model was 0.779 (95% CI: 0.718-0.840, P<0.01). After internal verification, the concordance index value of the prediction model was 0.779. Conclusion:age≤45 years, BMI ≥24 kg/m 2, hernial sac≤5 cm, recurrent hernia, preoperative pain, suture fixation and Postoperative acute pain (VAS>3) are independent risk factors for chronic postoperative inguinal pain for laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair, the nomogram prediction model has a good accuracy and discrimination with a high value of clinical application.
