Journal of Chinese Physician 2021;23(1):19-23
Objective:To study the effects of transverse abdominis plane block (TAPB) combined with dexmedetomidine on the recovery quality after general anesthesia in cesarean section.Methods:From June 2019 to October 2020, 120 cases of cesarean section in Changsha Maternal and Child Health Hospital were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group (Group D), transversus abdominis plane block group (group T), transversus abdominis plane block combined with dexmedetomidine (Group TD) and control group (Group C). Before anesthesia induction, local infiltration of 1% lidocaine was performed at the incision of all parturients. Propofol and rocuronium were used for induction under general anesthesia. After delivery of fetus, sufentanil and midazolam were injected intravenously, and propofol was pumped to maintain anesthesia. At the same time, dexmedetomidine was pumped into group D and TD, and normal saline was pumped into group T and C. After the posterior sheath of rectus abdominis was sutured in T group and TD group, two epidural anesthesia catheters were placed to the fascia of transverse abdominis on both sides, and 10 ml of 0.33% ropivacaine was injected respectively. The parturients were sent to postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after the operation. The time from the end of operation to the extubation of tracheal tube, heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) before operation (T 1), after induction (T 2), after operation (T 3), at the time of extubation (T 4), 10 minutes after extubation (T 5) and at the time of leaving PACU (T 6) were recorded. Steward's wake-up score at T 4, T 5 and T 6, agitation during extubation (Sedation Agitation Scale, SAS score), PACU stay time and pain visual analogue scale (VAS) were recorded. Results:There was no difference in HR and MAP between the four groups at T 1, T 2, and T 3 ( P>0.05), while HR and MAP in group C at T 4, T 5 and T 6 were higher than those in the other three groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Steward′s wake-up score among the four groups ( P>0.05). The SAS score [(4.0±0.4)point], the time from the end of operation to extubation [(10.1±1.5)min] and stay time of PACU [(21±4.2)min] were the lowest in group TD than those in the other three groups ( P<0.05); the VAS score in group TD [(0.5±0.5)point] and group T [(1.1±0.4)point] were lower than that in group D [(4.1±0.3)point] and group C [(5.3±0.5)point] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of general anesthesia combined with TAPB and dexmedetomidine in cesarean section may improve the quality of anesthesia recovery.

According to the transcriptome dataset of Panax notoginseng, the key geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase gene (GGPPS) in terpenoid backbone biosynthesis was selected to be cloned. Using specific primer pairs combining with RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) technique, the full-length cDNA sequence with 1 203 bp, which containing a 1 035 bp open reading frame, was cloned and named as PnGGPPS. The corresponding full-length DNA sequence contained 2 370 bp, consisted of 1 intron and 2 exons. The deduced protein PnGGPPS contained 344 amino acids and shared more than 73% identity with GGPPS from Ricinus communis and Salvia miltiorrhiza. PnGGPPS also had specific Aspartic acid enrichment regions and other conserved domains, which belonged to the Isoprenoid-Biosyn-C1 superfamily. The quantitative real-time PCR showed that PnGGPPS expressed in different tissues of 1, 2, 3 years old root, stem, leaf and 3 years old flower, and the expression level in 3 years old leaf was significant higher than that in other organs, which suggested that it might not only be involved in the regulation of the growth and development, but also be associated with the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and carotenoids, the development of chloroplast, the shade habit and the quality formation of P. notoginseng.

Objective To figure out the optimal parameters of a volumetric modulated arc therapy ( VMAT) plan for cervical and upper esophageal cancer by quality evaluation of VMAT plans with different parameters, and to provide a reference for the design of clinical VMAT treatment plan. Methods Ten patients with cervical esophageal cancer and ten patients with upper esophageal cancer were enrolled as subjects. The Nucletron Oncentra 4. 3 treatment planning system was used to generate plans for Elekta Synergy VMAT accelerator. Six VMAT plans were made with variation in the gantry angle ( 2°, 3°, and 4°), the maximum delivery time (80 s, 110 s, and 150 s), and the collimator angle (0° and 45°). The doses to the planning target volume and organs at risk were analyzed by paired t test. Results For cervical and upper esophageal cancer, the quality of VMAT plans with a collimator angle of 45° was better than those with a collimator angle of 0°(P=0. 003?0. 007). For cervical esophageal cancer, there was no significant difference in quality between VMAT plans with a maximum delivery time of 110 s or 150 s and those with a maximum delivery time of 80 s ( P>0. 05 );for upper esophageal cancer, there was also no significant difference in quality between VMAT plans with three different maximum delivery times ( P>0. 05 ) . For cervical esophageal cancer, the VMAT plans with a gantry angle of 3° had a better quality than those with a gantry angle of 2° or 4°(P=0. 010?0. 048). For upper esophageal cancer, the VMAT plans with a gantry angle of 3° had a better quality than those with a gantry angle of 4° ( P=0. 010?0. 048) . Compared with those with a gantry angle of 2° , the VMAT plans with a gantry angle of 3° had a slightly better dose distribution in the target volume ( P=0. 046 ) , but a slightly higher dose to lung tissue ( V25 and V30 , P=0. 007 and 0. 026) . Conclusions The optimal initial parameters of a VMAT plan for cervical and upper esophageal cancer are a collimator angle of 45°, a maximum delivery time of 80 s, and a gantry angle of 3°.

Objective To test whether the prophylactic small dose amitriptyline has any beneficial influence on the rate of poststroke depression (PSD) by clinical experiment. Methods All 123 patients with first stroke were divided into the intervention group and the control group according to the block randomization tables. The patients in the intervention group were treated with 12. 5 mg amitriptyline every night for more than 1 month and the control group was blank Before and at the end of the observation, the rate of PSD and activities of daily living (ADL), degree of neurological deficit (NIHSS) of all the subjects were assessed. Results At the end of the one-month treatment, the intervention group had lower rate of PSD (16. 4% ) than the control (51.6%);and they had lower score in NIHSS (2. 83 ± 1.74 vs 3. 64 ±1.93) and higher score in ADL (93.0 ± 16. 1 vs 87.0 ± 37. 1) than the control. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed: the change of ADL score was closely related to the rate of PSD (RR =3.01 ,P =0. 04); the change of NIHSS score was closely related to the rate of PSD ( RR = 2. 42, P = 0. 03 );prophylactic small dose amitriptyline was closely related to PSD ( RR = 3.11, P = 0. 01 ). Conclusions Prophylactic small dose amitriptyline can decrease the rat of PSD, reduce the neurologic impairment and improve the activity of daily living.

Objective To observe the damage to Langerhans cells induced by UVB irradiation,and to evaluate photoprotective effect of these cells from UVB irradiation by epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).Methods Biopsy specimens were obtained from normal adult foreskin,and epidermal cells were isolated.Density gradient centrifugation and magnetic cell sorting were used simultaneously to purify Langerhans cells from the cell suspension.These cells were then divided into three groups,control (no ir- radiation or EGCG treatment),UVB (irradiation) and EGCG (irradiation+ECCG treatment) groups. The cells in the UVB and EGCG group were irradiated by UVB (30 mJ/cm~2).After the irradiation,the U- VB group was incubated with RPMI-1640 containing 10% bovine serum for 4 hours,while the EGCG group with the same medium containing 200?g/mL of EGCG for 4 hours.Another four hours after the treatment, the cells were collected for the detection of apoptosis rate by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. Results Exposure to UVB (30 mJ/cm~2) significantly increased the apoptotic rate of Langerhans cells.The apoptotic rate in EGCG group was significantly lower than that in the UVB group,but was higher than that in the control group.Conclusion Rate of apoptosis of Langerhans cells could be increased by UVB irradia- tion,while EGCG could prevent the increase of apoptosis.
