Objective To compare the effects of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl on the median effective concentration (EC50) of propofol required for inducing respiratory depression.Methods ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 30-50 yr,weighing 50-75 kg,with body mass index of 22-28 kg/m2,scheduled for elective gynecological surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 3 groups:control group (group C),dexmedetomidine group (group D) and fentanyl group (group F).Dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg and fentanyl 1.5 μg/kg in 10ml of normal saline were infused over 10 min in D and F groups,respectively,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.Lidocaine was injected intravenously followed by target-controlled infusion of propofol.In C,D and F groups,the initial target concentration of propofol was 2.5,2.1 and 1.1 μg/ml,respectively,and the ratio between the two successive concentration gradients was 1.1.It was defined as positive when patients developed respiration depression.EC50 and 95％ confidence interval of propofol inducing respiratory depression were calculated.BIS values and OAA/S scores were recorded after admission to operating room (T0),after infusion of dexmedetomidine,fentanyl or normal saline,at 5 and 10 min after the start of propofol target-controlled infusion and after the target effect-site and plasma concentrations were balanced.Results EC50 (95％ confidence interval) of propofol required for inducing respiratory depression was 2.72 (2.55-2.91),2.15 (2.05-2.27)and 1.17(1.08-1.25) μg/ml in C,D and F groups,respectively.Compared with group C,the EC50 was significantly decreased in D and F groups and the BIS values and OAA/S scores were increased in group F (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant changes were found in the BIS values and OAA/S scores in group D (P ＞ 0.05).The EC50 was significantly decreased and the BIS values and OAA/S scores was increased in group F as compared with group D (P ＜ 0.05).When the BIS values reached 65 or OAA/S scores was 3,the effect-site concentration was significantly lower in D and F groups than in group C (P ＜ 0.05).In C,D and F groups,the percentage of patients who developed upper airway obstruction caused by glossocoma was 100％,60％ and 20％,respectively,and who developed decreased respiratory rate or apnea (RR≤ 8 bpm or respiratory arrest time≥ 15 s) was 0,40％ and 80％,respectively.Conclusion Although dexmedetomidine induces no respiratory depression,dexmedetomidine can enhance the potency of propofol required for inducing respiratory depression and the prtency is lower than that of small-dose fentanyl.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the protective effect of dexmedetomidine (Dex) preconditioning against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries in isolated rat hearts and its relation to mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (mitoKATP).

METHODSThe hearts of male SD rats were isolated to mount on the Langendorff apparatus and subjected to 30 min global ischemia followed by 120 min reperfusion. The isolated hearts were treated with Dex (10 nmol/L) before ischemia for 15 min. The left ventricular hemodynamic parameters,coronary flow (CF) and the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in the coronary effluent at 5 min reperfusion were measured. The formazan content was assayed to determine the myocardial viability at the end of reperfusion.

RESULTSCompared with normal controls, I/R markedly decreased the left ventricular developed pressure and CF during the whole reperfusion period and the formazan content; while the left ventricular end diastolic pressure and LDH release were significantly increased. Dex preconditioning markedly improved the myocardial viability and cardiac function (P<0.01), which were reversed by the treatment with both atractyloside (20 μmol/L before ischemia), an opener of mPTP, and 5-hydroxydecanoate (100 μmol/L at the beginning of reperfusion), an inhibitor of mitoKATP, for 20 min.

CONCLUSIONDex has protective effect against I/R injuries in isolated rat hearts, which may be related to inhibiting the opening of mPTP at the beginning of reperfusion and activating mitoKATP before ischemia.

Objective To explore the iodine nutritional status of people after adjusting iodine content in iodized salt in Anhui Province. Methods In 2014, 30 counties (cities, districts) were selected in Anhui Province according to the probability ratio sampling method (PPS), and one school was selected in each county (city, district), and 50 children aged 8 - 10 years were selected in each school. Urine and household salt samples were collected, urine and salt iodine levels were tested, and thyroid was examined using B-ultrasound. In the township where the school was located, 20 pregnant women's urine samples and household salt samples were collected for urine and salt iodine detection. The salt iodine level was measured by direct titration, Chuan salt and other fortified salt iodine levels were determined by arbitration method (GB/T 13025.7-2012). Urinary iodine was determined by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry (WS/T 107-2006). Results A total of 1575 children's household salt samples were collected, the median salt iodine was 23.77 mg/kg, the qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 93.65％(1475/1575); 600 household salt samples were collected from pregnant women, the salt iodine median was 23.50 mg/kg, the consumption rate of qualified iodine salt was 96.33％( 578/600 ) . A total of 1575 urine samples were collected from children, the median urinary iodine was 242.20 μg/L; six hundred urine samples were collected from pregnant women, and the median urinary iodine was 158.15μg/L, 43.33％(13/30) of the counties (cities, districts) pregnant wowen median urinary iodine < 150 μg/L. A total of 1575 thyroid glands were examined in children aged 8 to 10 years, and the thyroid enlargement rate was 3.75％ (59/1575). Conclusion The iodine nutrition of children aged 8 - 10 years in Anhui Province is higher than the appropriate level, but the iodine is not in the excessive state, and the iodine nutrition of pregnant women in some counties (cities, districts) is insufficient.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of five warfarin-dosing algorithms and warfarin stable dose model (2.5 mg/day) for Shandong population. METHODS: One hundred and twenty five patients who achieved stable warfarin dose were enrolled. Clinical and genetic data were used to evaluate the value of each algorithm by calculating the percentage of patients whose predicted warfarin dose was within 20% of the actual stable therapeutic dose and mean absolute error (MAE). RESULTS: The frequency of patients with CYP2C9*1/*1, CYP2C9*1/*3 and CYP2C9*1/*2 genotype was 92.00%, 7.20%, 0.80%, respectively. That of VKORC1-1639 AA, AG and GG genotype was 82.40%, 15.20%, 2.40%, respectively. CYP4F2*1/*1, *1/*3, *3/*3 genotype was 50.40%, 39.20%, 10.40%, respectively. With the same genotypes for other loci, patients who carried at least one VKORC1-16398G mutant allele had increased warfarin stable daily dose compared with VKORC1-1639AA. Compared with CYP4F2*1/*1, those carrying at least one CYP4F2*3 mutant allele had warfarin stable daily dose increased by 5.9%-13.00%. The percentage of ideal prediction calculated from IWPC model (59.20%), Huang model (57.60%) and Ohno model (52.80%) were higher than others. The MAE were 0.35 (95%CI: 0.11-0.49), 0.15 (95%CI: 0.10-0.32), 0.39 (95%CI: 0.12-0.51), respectively. CONCLUSION The polymorphisms of CYP2C9, VKORC1 and CYP4F2 genes can influence the stable dose of warfarin in Shandong population. IWPC algorithm is suitable for guiding the use of warfarin in this population.

Objective:To investigate the pathological features of gastric tumor originated from the fundic gland, including oxyntic gland adenoma (OGA) and gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland (GA-FG).Methods:A retrospective analysis of 2 cases of OGA and 2 cases of GA-FG admitted to our hospital from February 2019 to September 2019 was performed. The histological features were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining combined with endoscopic observation.Results:The four cases arose from the deep layer of the lamina propria mucosae and well differentiated. Two cases of OGA confined to the mucosa, including 1 case of irregular tubules showing low-degree dysplasia and another case of irregular branching and anastomosing tubules showing high-degree dysplasia. Two cases of GA-FG combined with submucosal invasion, showed irregular branching and anastomosing tubules and formed a so-called "endless glands" pattern. Atypia, helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, chronic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, or gastric atrophy were not observed in the superficial epithelium covering the tumor extent. Two cases of OGA and 2 cases of GA-FG showed the same result of immunohistochemical staining: pepsinogen-1 was diffusely positive in the tumor tissues and indicated chief cell differentiation, while positive ATPase and PDGFRA-α indicated parietal cells differentiation. The expression of Syn were positive in all cases, while CD10, MUC2 and CD-X2 were negative. The upregulation of p53 protein or nuclear positivity of β-catenin was not observed. The Ki-67 labeling index in the hot area was approximately 1-5%.Conclusions:GA-FG is a well-differentiated, low-grade malignant novel subtype of gastric cancer. The immunohistochemical markers and narrowband imaging combined with magnifying endoscopy (NBI-ME) enhance the diagnostic sensitivity. Whether Syn positive expression can be one of the diagnostic item needs to be further investigate. The process of tumorigenesis of GA-FG might be the transition from low-grade dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia of OGA and further to submucosal infiltration. However, the mechanism of GAFG was still unclear. Disregulation of the Shh and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway might be associated with tumorigenesis of GA-FG. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is often the preferred and curative treatment.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and diagnosis and treatment experiences of Langerhans cell histocytosis (LCH) in skull.Methods:Sixteen patients with cranial LCH admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were chosen in our study. Their clinical data, diagnosis and treatment procedures and prognoses were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 16 patients, there were 13 males and 3 females, aged from 1 to 31 years. The clinical manifestations included space-occupying lesions of the skull; and imaging showed bone destruction of the skull, with or without involvement of other bones or organs. All patients were pathologically confirmed to have LCH after surgical total resection of the lesions. Routine whole-body bone scanning was performed after surgery: one was found to have local abnormal metabolic activity and received local radiotherapy; 8 were combined with other bone or organ involvement, and received chemotherapy. All the patients were followed up for 1-5 years, and no recurrence was found, and no one died.Conclusion:Good prognosis can be achieved in cranial LCH patients accepted resection by giving additional treatment according to the results of postoperative reexamination and combination use of standardized radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Objective:To observe the local reactions and efficacy of CD19 CAR-T therapy in recurrence/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (R/R NHL) patients with >7.5 cm lesions.Methods:32 R/R NHL patients with >7.5 cm lesions were enrolled and injected with CD19 CAR-T cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect and observe the amplification of CD19 CAR-T cells in vivo. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect cytokines in peripheral blood of patients. The side effects of CD19 CAR-T cell therapy included systemic side effects and local reactions of tumor. The local side effects were observed by Ultrasound, Computed tomography and Magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment options included glucocorticoid, interleukin-6 antibody and drainage of exudate. Overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival rate (OS) were observed.Results:①Among the 32 patients, CR (40.63%) , PR (31.25%) and ORR (71.88%) were 13, 10 and 23, respectively. ②In all 23 patients received ORR, 13 patients had grade 1-2 CRS, while 10 patients had grade 3-4 CRS. All the 9 patients in the SD+PD group had grade 1-2 CRS ( P=0.030) . ③A total of 15 patients with tumor local reactions, included 9 patients with CR, 5 patients with PR and 1 patient with SD. The local reactions of the tumor included that the diameter of the superficial lesions increased with redness, swelling and heat pain. The deep lesions presented abdominal pain, abdominal distension, suffocation and local pain, and burning of the tumor. The deep lesions were enlarged or accompanied by local edema. The local exudative lesions were found in the abdominal cavity and pleural cavity. ④ Peak proportion of CD19 CAR-T cells in ORR group was higher than that of in SD+PD group[16.8% (5.3%-48.2%) vs 2.9% (1.5%-5.7%) , z=-4.297, P<0.001]. The peak proportion of CD19 CAR-T cells in ORR group with local reactions was higher than that of in patients without local reactions [22.2% (10.5%-48.2%) vs 12.6% (5.3%-21.6%) , z=-3.213, P=0.001]. The peak proportion of CD19 CAR-T cells in multiple lesion group was higher than that of in single lesion group [35.8% (1.5%-48.2%) vs 16.8% (10.5%-18.5%) , z=-2.023, P=0.040]. ⑤Occurrence of local reactions and tumor shrinkage time were both delayed compared with systemic side effects. ⑥In the ORR group, the OS of patients with tumor local reactions was longer than that of patients without tumor local reactions, but there was no difference in the two groups (75% vs 34.6%, P=0.169) . Conclusions:CD19 CAR-T cell therapy in R/R NHL patients with >7.5 cm lesions might cause tumor local reactions later than systemic side effects.Clinicaltrial::ChiCTR1800018059
