To investigate the effect of premedication with clonidine on the concentrations of plasma catecholamine (CA), renin, angiotension Ⅱ (A Ⅱ ) and carbohydrate metabolism during eardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Method: Twenty patients scheduled for cardiac surgery were randomly divided into two groups: clonidine group and control group. Oral premedication with clonidine 5?g?kg~(-1) was taken in colndine group 60 rain before anesthesia in duction in addition to common same premedication in both groups. Arterial plasma concentrations of CA,renin, AⅡ, blood suger, pyruvic acid, lactic acid were measured before anesthesia, before CPB, 30,60,90 and 120 min following CPB and 30 rain after CPB. Result: The levels of CA, blood suger, pyruvic acid and lactic acid increased significantly during CPB in both groups, but were higher markedly in control group than those in clonidine group (P

AIM: To investigate the effect of premedication with clonid in e on the concentrations of catecholamine (CA), angiotention Ⅱ (AⅡ), cortisol a nd carbohydrate metabolism during tracheal extubation. METHODS: Twenty-two patients scheduled for general anesthesia with tracheal intubation were randomly divided into two groups: clonidine group and control group. Oral p remedication with clonidine 5 ?g?kg -1 was taken in clonidine group 6 0 min before anesthesia induction in addition to some common premedication in bo th groups. The change of hemodynamics,arterial plasma concentrations of CA, A Ⅱ, cortisol, blood sugar and lactic acid were measured before anesthesia, befor e intubation and 1,2,5, 10 min after tracheal extubation, respectively. RESULTS: The levels of CA, AⅡ, cotisol, blood sugar and lactic acid were significantly increased during tracheal extubation in both groups,but the levels in control group were higher than those in clonidine group. The change of hemodynamics was more stable in clonidine group than that in control group. CONCLUSION: Oral premedication with clonidine can alleviate stress response during tracheal extubation.

Objective This retrospective study compared the detection rates of prostate cancer between freehand transperineal biopsy (FTPB) and template-guided transperineal biopsy (TYPB) in the patients with PSA levels ＜ 20 ng/ml.Methods From April 2017 to April 2019,768 patients with PSA levels ＜ 20 ng/ml were included into this study.Of these patients,406 underwent FTPB procedures and 362 underwent TTPB procedures.There were no significant differences of median age [66.00(61.00,70.00)vs.66.00 (61.00,71.25) years],height [170.00 (165.00,172.00) vs.170 (165.00,173.00) cm],weight [70.00 (63.88,75.00) vs.70.00 (63.75,75.00) kg],BMI [24.22 (22.22,25.95) vs.24.22 (22.49,25.82) kg/m2],PSA [8.75 (6.49,12.40) vs.8.69 (6.49,11.96) ng/ml],fPSA [1.18 (0.33,2.15) vs.1.15(0.76,1.88)ng/ml],prostate volume [39.79(25.55,53.94)vs.39.88(24.46,55.11)ml] between two groups.Patients' biopsy results were recorded,the differences of prostate cancer detection rates between these two groups were analyzed,specifically including the cancer with Gleason score ≥ 7 and the anterior zone cancer.Results The total prostate cancer detection rates were 33.7％ (137/406) and 39.0％ (141/362,P =0.134) in FTPB group and TTPB group respectively,and the detection rates of cancer with Gleason score≥7 were 23.9％ (97/406) and 32.0％ (116/362,P =0.012) respectively.The detection rates of anterior zone prostate cancer were 15.5％ (63/406) and 27.3％ (99/362,P ＜0.001).Moreover,in thepatients with PSA ＜ 10 ng/ml,the prostate cancer detection rates were 29.8％ (74/248) and 36.2％ (81/224,P =0.144) respectively,while the detection rates of cancer with Gleason score ≥7 were 19.4％ (48/248) and 29.9％ (67/224,P =0.008) respectively.Conclusions There was no significant difference in the total prostate cancer detection rates between 12-core TTPB group and 20-core FTPB group in the patients with PSA ＜ 20 ng/ml,but for the detection rate of cancer with Gleason score ≥ 7,TTPB group was significantly higher than FTPB group,especially in the patients with PSA ＜ 10 ng/ml.In addition,for anterior zone prostate cancer,the detection rate of TrPB group was also higher than FTPB group.
