Objective:To compare the advantages and disadvantages of thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with new nasopharyngeal airway preserved spontaneous breathing anesthesia and traditional double-lumen bronchial intubation combined with general anesthesia for thoracoscopic surgery.Methods:A total of 48 patients with thoracoscopic surgery admitted to the department of thoracic surgery, Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2020 to May 2022 were selected and divided into two groups by random number table method, with 24 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with a new type of nasopharyngeal airway to retain spontaneous breathing; The control group was treated with traditional double-lumen bronchial intubation combined with general anesthesia. The sedation and analgesia scores, perioperative plasma cortisol, norepinephrine and epinephrine levels, hemodynamic indexes, intraoperative opioid dosage at different time points (T0 after intubation or nerve block, skin incision T1, artificial pneumothorax T2, focus resection T3, and chest closure T4), as well as early out of bed activity and length of stay in hospital after operation were compared between the two groups.Results:The sedation scores of the observation group at T0, T1, T2, T3, T4 were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05); The analgesic scores at T2, T3 and T4 in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The plasma cortisol and epinephrine levels at T0, T1, T2, T3, T4 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05); The levels of norepinephrine at T1, T2, T3 and T4 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in heart rate at T1 between the observation group and the control group ( P>0.05), but the heart rate at T0, T2, T3, T4 was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The mean arterial pressure at each time point in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). The total amount of opioid in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of rest and exercise in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The time of getting out of bed , standing, walking, anus exhaust and blowing out the lighter in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The times of nausea and vomiting, patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pressing and hospitalization in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with new nasopharyngeal airway to preserve spontaneous breathing " tubeless" anesthesia can provide better sedation and analgesia effect and lower perioperative stress level than traditional double-lumen bronchial intubation combined with intravenous inhalation general anesthesia. It also has obvious advantages in rapid recovery after surgery.

Aims:
This study was aimed to evaluate the potential of several carriers to formulate the phages and retain their activity under various pH and temperature conditions.
Methodology and results:
The skim milk, rice flour, corn flour and CalnuXan (calcium and magnesium) as carriers to formulate the isolated phage to maintain its activity under extreme pH and temperature conditions. Two phages formulated with carriers retained their viability at pH 5, pH 7 and pH 9 compared to that of the unformulated phages. Besides, the formulated phages also retained a high titre compared to the unformulated phages when they were exposed to 37 °C and 45 °C. Based on the in vitro study of the formulation, it was applied in the glass house. The plant height, leaf chlorophyll and disease scoring were recorded and analyzed. In the glass house, the rice plant treated with formulated phages showed higher plant height and chlorophyll content than those treated with unformulated or untreated phages. Nonetheless, both formulated and unformulated protected the rice plant, which showed lower disease severity than the untreated group.
Conclusion, significance and impact of study
Phage therapy has been used for treating plant diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. Despite their effectiveness in killing the pathogen in vitro, the results were not reproducible in the field. Bacteriophages (phages) are sensitive to environmental factors and infection efficiency was dropped when exposed to harmful environments. However, this study successfully formulated two novels Xanthomonas phages, as biocontrol agents against bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease in rice.
