Many studies have shown that diabetes mellitus is associated with vascular cognitive impairment (including vascular dementia),mild cognitive impairment,and Alzheimer's disease.Its pathophysiological mechanism is very complex,involving in vascular mechanisms and including non-vascular mechanisms of hyperglycemia,hypoglycemia,and insulin resistance.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of particle size of ticagrelor crude drug on in vitro dissolution behavior of Ticagre-lor tablets. METHODS:Ticagrelor crude drug and different particle size of ticagrelor powder A,B,C,D,E after smashing for dif-ferent time(15,30,40,60 s)were used to prepare the tablet by wet granulation method. Accumulative in vitro dissolution rate of prepared tablets within 60 min were determined by UV spectrophotometry at 300 nm(using 0.2% tween as medium,paddle meth-od). Using original tablet as reference preparation,the similarity factor(f2)method was used to compare the similarity of dissolu-tion behavior between 5 prepared tablets and original tablet. RESULTS:d(0.9)of powder A,B,C,D,E were 69.181,40.778, 24.805,12.611,3.083 μm,respectively. The corresponding f2 were 27.77,36.79,50.06,67.68,79.99. CONCLUSIONS:The par-ticle size of ticagrelor crude drug is much smaller,and the dissolution behavior of prepared tablet is closer to that of original tablet. The in vitro dissolution rate of Ticagrelor tablets is improved remarkably by micronization technology. In order to produce Ticagre-lor tablets with the same bioavailability as original tablet,particle size of ticagrelor crude drug powder should be controlled with d(0.9)≤20μm.

With the concepts of minimal invasive surgery and precision medicine embedding deeply in modern medicine, traditional clinical treatment strategies are constantly updated due to the rapid progression of medical research. Systematic dissection of the regional lymph nodes is a key component in the surgical therapy of gynecologic malignancies, however it may result in a series of complications, such as lower extremity lymphedema, deep venous thrombosis, immune disorders and so on, which seriously impact the patients' quality of life. The necessity of systematic lymphadenectomy and the extent of lymph nodes resection have always been one of the most controversial issues in gynecologic oncology. In recent years, the extensive application of sentinel lymph node (SLN) technology has been increasingly used in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies, which may provide important guidance on this issue. This article reviews the clinical application status, detection methods, detection efficiency, and current controversies regarding SLN mapping and biopsy in cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer and vulvar cancer, discussing the application value of SLN technology in gynecologic oncology.

Objective To compare the accuracy of bispectral index (BIS),Narcotrend index (NI),index of consciousness (IoC) versus auditory evoked potential index (AAI) in monitoring the depth of sedation induced by propofol.Methods Sixty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 41-64 yr,with body mass index 20-30 kg/m2,scheduled for elective surgeries under general anesthesia,were enrolled in the study.Propofol was given by target-controlled infusion (TCI) with the initial target effect-site concentration (Ce) of 0.8 μg/ml using Marsh pharmacokinetic model,and then the Ce of propofol was increased by 0.1 μg/ml,and OAA/S was performed.Before TCI of propofol,the values of BIS,NI,IoC and AAI were recorded,and at the same time the value of OAA/S score was 5.During TCI of propofol,when OAA/S score reached 4,3,2 and 1 in turn,the Ce of propofol was recorded,the sequence for determination of the values of BIS,NI,IoC and AAI was determined using a random number table,and the values were then recorded for 5 s after the values were stable and then averaged.The parameters for vital signs were maintained within the normal range.Pearson correlation of BIS,NI,IoC and AAI values with Ce of propofol was analyzed.Results The correlation coefficients of BIS,NI,IoC and AAI values with the Ce of propofol were rBIs-Ce =-0.829,rSI-Ce =-0.886,rloC-Ce =-0.881 and rAAI-Ce =-0.791,respectively.There was no significant difference between rBIS-Ce,rNI-Ce,rIoC-Ce and rAAI-Ce.Conclusion There are no significant differences in the accuracy of BIS,NI,IoC or AAI in monitoring the depth of sedation induced by propofol in middle-aged patients with non-noxious stimuli.

Objective To investigate and analyze the usage of expensive outpatient prescriptions in different hospitals in Longgang area,Shenzhen,and to discuss and provide reference for the rational usage of expensive pre-scriptions.Methods Two primary hospitals,two secondary hospitals and one tertiary hospital in the Longgang area, Shenzhen,were chosen as the research targets.The expensive outpatient prescriptions,defined as the amount of pre-scription was over 150,200 and 300 yuan for primary,secondary and tertiary hospital respectively,were randomly selected and evaluated using international standards for the rational use of drugs.Results The average prescription items for primary,secondary and tertiary hospitals were 2.96,2.61 and 2.61.The largest proportions of prescription costs were 150 to 200 yuan,200 to 250 yuan and 300 to 350 yuan,which were respectively accounted for 49.6%, 56.6% and 37.7%.The frequency of using proprietary Chinese medicine,was 60.08%,68.18% and 41.62%respectively,which was not reasonable.The clinical diagnosis for the prescriptions of primary and secondary hospitals was mainly composed of trauma,bronchitis and vaginitis.The usage of drugs was not reasonable about the use of anti-biotics and infusion.In addition,the clinical diagnosis for the prescription of tertiary hospital was mainly diabetes, hypertension and cerebral infarction,where the abuse of using large dose of adjuvant drug was observed.Conclusion The frequency of using proprietary Chinese medicine is higher at all levels of hospital.In order to reduce the propor-tion of expensive prescription,the medicine institution should establish a sound system for drug use management and strengthen supervision and verification for western medicine physicians using proprietary Chinese medicine in their prescription.Furthermore,we should intervene and restrict the abuse usage of the adjuvant medicine.

Objective To investigate the application effect of nasojejunal feeding tube nutrition in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Methods The clinical data of 54 patients with severe traumatic brain injury admitted to the Department of Surgical Critical Care Medicine,the Third Affiliated Hospital,Sun Yatsen University between June 2012 and December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into either a nasojejunal feeding tube nutrition support group (nasojejunal group,n = 26)or an asogastric feeding tube nutrition support group (asogastric group,n = 28)according to the different ways of enteral nutrition. All patients began to receive nasal feeding whole protein preparations (enteral nutritional emulsion,TPF-D)from the second day after admission to intensive care unit (ICU). The time to reach the enteral nutrition support target,the time of parenteral nutritional support,nutritional index (albumin and hemoglobin),the time admission to ICU,and the incidences of infection and gastrointestinal complications in both groups were observed. Results (1)According to the body weight to calculate calorie demand, the nasojejunal group reaching the time of enteral nutrition support target was faster than that of the asogastric group (3. 0 ± 0. 8 d vs. 7. 7 ± 2. 5 d). There was significant difference between the 2 groups (P < 0. 01). The time of the combined parenteral nutrition support in the nasojejunal group was reduced significantly compared with the asogastric group (2. 0 ±0. 8 d vs. 6. 7 ±2. 5 d). There was significant difference between the 2 groups (P <0. 01). (2)At day 30after treatment,the levels of total serum protein and hemoglobin in the nasojejunal group were higher than those of the asogastric group (64 ± 6 g/ L vs. 61 ± 6 g/ L and 120 ± 17 g/ L vs. 106 ± 16 g/ L,respectively. There were significant differences (P < 0. 05). (3)The mean length of stay in the ICU was obviously shorter in nasojejunal group compared with the asogastric group (11 ± 5 d vs. 14 ± 6 d). There was significant difference between the 2 groups (P < 0. 05). (4)There were no significant differences in complications of the patients,such as the incidences of pulmonary infection,hyperglycemia,and diarrhea between the 2 groups (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Nasojejunal feeding tube nutrition support may be faster to achieve the target of enteral nutrition supports and shorten the time in ICU.

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.
