OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of parecoxib preemptive analgesia combined with postoperative epidural analgesia on hip replacement and immune function. METHODS:Totally 86 patients undergoing unilateral hip replacement selected from Xining Third People's Hospital during Jan. 2014-Jun. 2016 were divided into observation group and control group according to random num-ber table,with 43 cases in each group. Two groups underwent unilateral hip replacement under spinal epidural anesthesia. Observation group was given Parecoxib sodium for injection 40 mg intravenously 30 min before the end of surgery. Control group was given con-stant volume of normal saline intravenously. Both groups were given epidural analgesia pump(Ropivacaine hydrochloride injection 150 mg+Ondansetron hydrochloride injection 16 mg+Dezocine injection 10 mg,added into normal saline to 100 mL)after surgery with dripping speed of 2 mL/h and patient-controlled time of 15 min. The hemodynamic indexes,analgesic effect,T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells levels were compared between 2 groups at different time points as well as the occurrence of ADR after surgery. RE-SULTS:Two patients of observation group and one patient of control group withdrew from the study. Before surgery,there was no sta-tistical significance in MAP and HR between 2 groups(P>0.05);12,24 h after surgery,MAP and HR of control group were signifi-cantly increased and higher than observation group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in MAP and HR of observation group at different time points compared to before treatment;there was no statistical significance in MAP and HR between 2 groups immediately after surgery,48 h after surgery(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in VAS score between 2 groups immediately after surgery(P>0.05);6,12,24,48 h after surgery,VAS scores of observation group were signifi-cantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in CD3+,CD4+, CD4+/CD8+and NK cells levels between 2 groups before surgery(P>0.05). CD3+,CD4+and NK cells levels of 2 groups immediately after surgery,CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and NK cells levels of 2 groups at 12,24 h after surgery,CD3+and CD4+of control group at 48 h after surgery all changed significantly;CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+and NK cells levels of observation group at 12,24 h after sur-gery were significantly higher than those of control group,with statistical significantly(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The parecoxib preemptive analgesia combined with postopera-tive epidural analgesia shows good analgesic effect for hip replacement patients,keeps their hemodynamics stable and protects immune function to certain extent with good safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether aldosterone infusion induces glomerular or podocyte injury in rats and to evaluate the effects of eplerenoen (EPL), andodipine (CCB) and telmisartan (ARB) on aldosterone- induced injury. MethodsThirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups: control, subcutaneous infusion of aldosterone (1.5 μg/h, ALD group) and aldosterone infusion plus eplerenone (100 mg·kg-1·d-1, EPL group), amlodipine(10 nag·kg-1·d-1 CCB group), telmisartan (3 mg·kg-1·d-1, ARB group), respectively. Systolic blood pressure(SBP) and urinary albumin excretion ratio(UAER) were measured at day 0, 7, 14, 21, 28. Blood samples were harvested to detect plasma angiotensin Ⅱ, plasma aldosterone, serum sodium, serum potassium and serum creatinine at day 28. Glomerular damge was quantified by morphological glomerular injury score (GIS). Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were performed to evaluate podocyte lesion, and apoptosis ratio of pedocyte (ARP) in a glomerular cross section was analyzed by TUNEL. ResultsALD infusion progressively increased SBP and UAER compared with CTL (P<0.01). SBP was significantly reduced in EPL, CCB or ARB-treated animals, meanwhile, UAER was decreased in EPL and ARB group, but not in CCB group. The ALD-infused rats exibited hypernatremia and hypopotassaemia, which were blocked by EPL adminstration but not by CCB or ARB treatment. ARB group had a significant increase in plasma angiotensin Ⅱ compared with ALD, CCB and EPL groups(P<0.01). The ALD-infused animals developed hyperaldosteronemia compared with CTL, but with no difference of plasma aldosterone among ALD, EPL, CCB and ARB-treated rats. Treatment with EPL prevented an increase of GIS and ARP compared with CCB and ARB (P<0.05, P<0.01). Protein and mRNA expression of nephfin was up-regulated in ALD group (P< 0.01), but was significantly prevented by EPL treatment(P<0.01), whereas CCB and ARB therapy had no such effect. Conclusion ALD infusion significantly induces glomerular and pedocyte injury which is blocked by EPL but not by CCB or ARB independently on systemic hemodynamics.

Objective To investigate the effect and clinical value of preoperative chemotherapy on the treatment of metastasized lymph nodes in patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma. Methods We studied the pathological results of primary lesions and lymph nodes of 97 patients with advanced esophageal cancer between 1996 and 1999,62patients were treated by preoperative chemotherapy and 35 patients were treated by surgery only. Results The metastasized rate and degree of mediastinum in preoperative group were 16. 1% and 4.7% ,whereas 65.7% and 34.2% in the surgery only group (P<0. 05);That of abdomen in preoperative group were 25.8% and 6.6% ,whereas 48. 6%and 12.0% in the surgery only group (P<0.05). Conclusion Preparative chemotherapy is effective not only against the primary lesions but also the metastasized lymph nodes. The lower complete response rate of the metastasized lymph may account for the unsatisfied long-term results. Whole resection of primary lesions and lymph nodes are still very important for a better prognosis even for patients who have a good response for the preoperative chemotherapy.
