Objective:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol on hemorheology and hemodynamics in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods:126 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage undergoing emergency surgery in Tengzhou Central People's Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were prospectively selected and randomly divided into control group (63 cases) and observation group (63 cases). The control group was given propofol induction anesthesia, and the observation group was given dexmedetomidine combined with propofol induction anesthesia. Hemodynamics, hemorheology before and after operation, clinical efficacy and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:24 hours after operation, the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity levels of the two groups were higher than those of the same group before operation, and the levels of erythrocyte aggregation index was lower than those of the same group before operation ( P>0.05); 24 hours after operation, the whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity levels and the erythrocyte deformation index of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the erythrocyte aggregation index was higher than those of the control group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). The levels of heart rate (HR) and systolic pressure (SP) in the observation group at T 1, T 2 and T 3 were normal and lower than those in the control group at the same time ( P<0.01). There was no significant difference in operation time and extubation time between the two groups ( P>0.05); the awakening time of the observation group was faster than that of the control group ( P<0.01). The incidence of restlessness, pharyngalgia, nausea, vomiting and rebleeding in the control group was 25.4%, higher than that in the observation group (9.5%), with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Dexmedetomidine combined with propofol induced anesthesia can stabilize intraoperative hemodynamics, improve postoperative hemorheology, promote postoperative awakening and reduce postoperative complications in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

Post-stroke depression often seriously affects the prognosis and quality of life of patients and many
clinical trials had shown that Chai Hu Shu Gan San (柴胡疏肝散) combined with selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) had good efficacy and minor side effects. We aimed to conduct this metaanalysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chai Hu Shu Gan San as an adjuvant drug for SSRI in
treating post-stroke depression. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, China
Biology Medicine disc (CBM), Chongqing VIP, and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure)
from their date of foundation to December 15, 2018. Literature screening, data extraction and quality
assessment were conducted by two authors independently. The data synthesis and analysis were
performed by using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.3 software and sensitivity analysis was conducted
to assess the robustness of the results. Finally, a total of 22 articles were included. The meta-analysis
confirmed the advantages of the combination of SSRI and Chai Hu Shu Gan San, mainly from four
aspects: the Hamilton Depression (HAMD) scale score (MD=3.66; 95% DI=2.33-4.98; p<0.001),
the Modified Edinburgh Scandinavian Stroke Scale (MESSS) score (MD=4.87; 95% CI=2.32-7.43;
p<0.001), the efficacy rate (OR=3.50; 95% CI =2.61-4.69; p<0.001) and the incidence of adverse
reactions (OR=0.28; 95% CI=0.17-0.46; p<0.001). No significant publication bias was observed, and
sensitivity analysis suggested a good stability of the results. According to the present evidence, we
concluded that Chai Hu Shu Gan Sa
