Objective:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on short-term prognosis in elderly patients with gastric cancer after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods:A total of 60 elderly patients with gastric cancer admitted to Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from June 2018 to September 2019 were selected as the research objects. The patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group according to random number method, 30 cases in each group. All patients underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. The patients in the control group received routine intravenous anesthesia, and the patients in the observation group were assisted with intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine on the basis of anesthesia in the control group. The general situation during and after surgery, hemodynamics and postoperative delirium of patients in the two groups were observed and compared.Results:The anal exhaust time and hospitalization time in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group [(72±10) h vs. (79±13) h, t = 8.384, P = 0.031; (11.0±1.7) d vs. (12.9±1.9) d, t = 7.404, P = 0.022]. While the time of abdominal drainage was (8.4±2.8) d and (8.6±1.6) d, respectively in the observation group and the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t = 0.958, P = 1.092); the volume of abdominal drainage was (534±50) ml and (545± 55) ml, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t = 0.847, P = 1.202). Compared with the preoperative baseline, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the two groups was stable during the operation. At extubation, the MAP in the control group [(104±5) mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa] was higher than that in the observation group [(92±7) mmHg] ( t = 7.383, P < 0.01); in the control group, the MAP at extubation was also higher compared with the preoperative MAP [(92±9) mmHg] ( P < 0.05). The heart rate in the observation group was lower than that before surgery and the same period in the control group.The incidence rate of delirium and suspicious delirium was 3% (1/30) and 7% (2/30) in the observation group, 10% (3/30) and 13% (4/30) in the control group within 7 d after surgery, and there were statistically significant differences in delirium and suspicious delirium between the two groups ( χ2 = 9.394, 7.485, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Dexmedetomidine can reduce the incidence of delirium in elderly patients with gastric cancer after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy, and make the hemodynamics more stable and recovery faster.

There were 48 strains of bacilli obtained from 20 Chinese traditional medicines. Twenty-five strains had antagonistic effect against at least one of ten plant pathogens. Seven strains had antibiosis to more than four pathogens and the best strain had antibiosis to nine pathogens. After physiological and biochemical experiments,eight strains of 25 antagonistic bacilli were proved to be Bacillus subtilis,three were Bacillus cereus,one were Bacillus natto and one were Bacillus licheniformis. At the same time,two kinds of Chinese traditional medicines,which probably had antibacterial effect,were found.

Objective To analyze the clinical and radiographic characterstics of ureteral polyps with hydronephrosis in children.Methods Thirteen patients with ureteral polyps and hydronephrosis were studied retrospectively.All patients underwent abdominal plain film,intravenous pyelogram(IVP)and ultrasound(US)examinations,contrast-enhanced CT scan was performed in 10 cases.Results Intermittent or recurrent abdominal pain with painless hematuria was presented in most cases.Hydronephrosis was demonstrated in radiographic images.IVP delineated the dilatation of the ureter and filling defects within the ureteral lumen in 5 cases.Computed tomography(CT)showed all abnormal changes of ureter and irregular intraluminal soft tissue masses in 6 cases.Moderate and low echoic structures were showed in ureters by US in 2 cases.Conclusion US and CT,as an important imaging modalities,can improve the diagnostic accuracy for ureteral polyps.
