Objective To evaluate the optimum ratio of medicine dosage for dexmedetomidine mixed with sufentanil used for patient?controlled intravenous analgesia ( PCIA) after Nuss procedure in pedi?atric patients with pectus excavatum. Methods Sixty pediatric patients diagnosed with pectus excavatum, aged 5-12 yr, weighing 18-50 kg, of ASA physical statusⅠorⅡ, scheduled for elective Nuss procedure under general anesthesia, were randomly divided into 3 equal groups using a random number table:different ratios of medicine dosage while dexmedetomidine was added to sufentanil groups ( SD1-3 groups) . Postopera?tive analgesia was as follows: group SD1 received sufentanil 1 μg∕kg + dexmedetomidine 2 μg∕kg; group SD2 received sufentanil 1 μg∕kg + dexmedetomidine 3 μg∕kg; group SD3 received sufentanil 1 μg∕kg +dexmedetomidine 4 μg∕kg. A mixture of tropisetron 0?1 mg∕kg and dexamethasone 0?1 mg∕kg ( in 100 ml of normal saline) was added in each group. The PCA pump was programmed to deliver 0?5 ml with a lockout interval of 15 min and background infusion at 2 ml∕h. The PCA pump was connected immediately after the end of operation, and sufentanil with a dosage of 0?1μg∕kg was used as a rescue analgesic within 48 h post?operatively. The VAS score was maintained below 4. The requirement for rescue analgesics was recorded. The Ramsay sedation scores was recorded at 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h postoperatively, and the occurrence of adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, bradycardia, over?sedation, respiratory depression, agitation and shivering was recorded within 48 h after surgery. Results No pediatric patients developed nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, bradycardia, over?sedation, and shivering. No pediatric patients required rescue analgesics in SD2 and SD3 groups. Compared with group SD1 , the requirement for rescue analgesics and incidence of agitation were significantly decreased, and Ramsay sedation scores were increased at 4 and 8 h after operation in SD2 and SD3 groups. Ramsay sedation scores were significantly higher at 4 h after oper?ation in SD3 group than in SD2 group. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine 3 μg∕kg mixed with sufentanil 1μg∕kg is the optimum ratio of medicine dosage when used for PCIA after Nuss procedure in pediatric patients with pectus excavatum.

Objective:To investigate the role of miR-483-5p in adrenocortical cancer (ACC) and its possible mechanism.Methods:Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was conducted to estimate the expression of miR-483-5p and CDK15 in ACC tissues and cell lines. The effects of miR-483-5p on proliferation were determined in vitro using CCK-8 proliferation assays, the changes of invasion of ACC cells were examined by Transwell. The molecular mechanism underlying the relevance between miR-483-5p and CDK15 was confirmed by luciferase assay and rescue assays.Results:We found a relatively higher miR-483-5p (2.36±1.02 vs 1.09±0.43) and lower CDK15 (0.57±0.26 vs 1.06±0.32) expression in ACC specimens and cell lines. CDK15 was verified as a direct target of miR-483-5p by luciferase assay. over-expression of miR-483-5p promoted proliferation (24 h: 0.26±0.03 vs 0.23±0.04, 48 h: 0.56±0.05 vs 0.41±0.03, 72 h: 0.73±0.04 vs 0.59±0.03) and invasion (95.78±4.66 vs 23.89±2.52) by down-regulating CDK15 expression.Conclusion:miR-483-5p plays a tumorigenesis role in ACC progression by down-regulating CDK15 expression, which may lead to a novel insight to the potential biomarker and novel therapeutic strategies for ACC.

With the continued development of molecular biology technologies,circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)has shown certain value in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. The emergence of next generation sequencing technology makes ctDNA detection more accurate and rapid. ctDNA plays a certain role in the early diagnosis,disease monitoring,therapeutic evaluation and medication guide of ovarian cancer by vir-tue of its safety and non-invasiveness. The application of ctDNA detection is insufficient at present,but with the continuous development of sequencing technology,ctDNA will play increasingly important roles in the diagno-sis,personalized treatment and prognosis evaluation of ovarian cancer.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with occupational melanosis. Methods Diagnostic data of 69 patients with occupational melanosis was analyzed using retrospective analysis. Results The main occupational hazards for the 69 patients with occupational melanosis were coal tar, petroleum and its fractionated products, pigments and dyes and their intermediates, rubber additives and rubber products. The median length of occupational exposure and disease latency were 8.0 and 6.0 years, respectively, with a highly positive correlation between them (Spearman correlation coefficients=0.962, P<0.01). Skin lesions were mainly found on exposed areas such as the face-to-neck and limbs, prevalence of 94.2% and 75.4% respectively. And 78.3% of patients had skin lesion on more than two sites. The lesions were mostly in the form of irregular flakes (59.4%), with a gray-black color (44.9%). About 43.5% of patients experienced skin itching. Complete blood count, liver function, and kidney function were all within normal ranges. Skin biopsy results showed that epidermal hyperkeratosis, thinning of the spinous layer, liquefaction degeneration of basal cells, increased superficial dermal melanocytes, and infiltration of lymphocytes, histiocytes, and melanocytes around the blood vessels. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) detection showed focal liquefaction degeneration of basal cells in the lesions, with a significant infiltration of melanocytes and inflammatory cells in the dermal papillae and superficial layers. Conclusion The primary target organ of occupational melanocytes is the skin, and no damage to other organs was identified thus far. Results from skin biopsies and RCM examinations can be used for differential diagnosis.
