Objective:To observe the effect of early goal directed sedation (EGDS) on cerebral oxygen metabolism in patients with acute brain injury.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 108 patients with acute brain injury admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Third Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were enrolled. According to the patient's condition, dexmedetomidine contraindication and tolerance, and combined with the wishes of patients' families, they were divided into EGDS group and on-demand sedation group. Routine treatments such as surgery, mechanical ventilation, dehydration and reduction of intracranial pressure with mannitol, hemostasis or antiplatelets therapy were given according to the patient's condition. All patients were continuously given sufentanil by intravenous infusion for analgesia. Patients in the EGDS group were sedated by continuously intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine (0.2-0.7 μg·kg -1·min -1) for 72 consecutive hours. Patients in the on-demand sedation group received intravenous bolus of propofol (0.5-1.0 mg/kg) when treatments were interfered due to agitation. Hemodynamic indexes [heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), intracranial pressure (ICP)], sedation indexes [bispectral index (BIS)], severity indexes [acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, Glasgow coma score (GCS)] and cerebral oxygen metabolism indexes [jugular venous blood lactate (Lac), jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO 2), cerebral arterial oxygen content (CaO 2), cerebral extraction rate of oxygen (CERO 2), cerebral arteriovenous blood oxygen content difference (a-vDO 2)] were compared between the two groups before sedation and at 24, 48 and 72 hours of sedation. Results:① Among the 108 patients, 3 patients with cerebral hemorrhage received secondary surgery or had worsening of cerebral hernia were excluded. 105 patients were enrolled in the study, including 54 patients in the EGDS group and 51 patients in the on-demand sedation group. There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, type of craniocerebral injury, GCS score, proportion of mechanical ventilation and operation ratio between the two groups. ② Compared with before sedation, Lac, CERO 2 and a-vDO 2 of both groups gradually reduced over time of sedation while SjvO 2 and CaO 2 were gradually higher. Those changes were more quickly in the EGDS group, Lac, SjO 2, CERO 2 and a-vDO 2 significantly improved at 24 hours of sedation compared with those before sedation. Above indexes at 72 hours of sedation in the EGDS group were obviously better than those in the on-demand sedation group [Lac (mmol/L): 1.81±0.31 vs. 2.19±0.12, SjvO 2: 0.714±0.125 vs. 0.683±0.132, CaO 2 (mL/L): 201.21±15.25 vs. 179.65±14.07, CERO 2: (27.87±3.66)% vs. (33.00±2.58)%, a-vDO 2 (mL/L): 44.32±5.68 vs. 48.57±8.22, all P < 0.05]. ③ Compared with before sedation, HR, MAP and ICP decreased in the two groups over time while CPP, BIS and GCS score showed increasing trend, especially more quickly in the EGDS group, HR at 24 hours of sedation, MAP, CPP, BIS and GCS score at 48 hours significantly improved as compared with those before sedation. Hemodynamics and sedation related parameters and GCS score at 72 hours of sedation in the EGDS group were significantly better than those in the on-demand sedation group [HR (bpm): 70.69±7.80 vs. 79.85±9.77, MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 84.23±8.76 vs. 89.97±9.48, ICP (mmHg): 14.23±8.76 vs. 15.97±9.48, BIS: 60.56±24.58 vs. 56.86±33.44, GCS score: 8.06±3.63 vs. 7.86±2.98, all P < 0.05]. The APACHE Ⅱ scores were significantly reduced at 72 hours of sedation in both groups as compared with those before sedation, while there was no statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion:Compared with the on-demand sedation, EGDS could reduce cerebral oxygen metabolism, improve the coma degree, and reduce the severity of the disease in patients with acute brain injury.

Objective To evaluate the value of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in differential diagnosis of familial hypertriglyceridemia (FHTG) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL).Methods We recruited 9 FHTG pedigrees (94 subjects) and 24 FCHL pedigrees (94 subjects) and then divided them into affected groups and non-affected groups according to lipid abnormality.Another 10 normal control pedigrees (57 subjects) served as controls.We compared the routine lipid levels such as triglyceride (TAG),total cholesterol (TC),HDL-C and LDL-C and non-HDL-C between the groups.After stratification based on TAG level,we observed the relationship between LDL-C and non-HDL-C.Last we confirmed and analyzed the cut-off value of differential diagnosis between FHTG and FCHL with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results The levels of TAG,TC,and non-HDL-C were significantly higher in the affected group of FHTG than in the non-affected group of FHTG and the normal group (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).The levels of TAG,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C and non-tHDL-C wcrc significantly higher in the affected group of FCHL than in the non-affected group of FCHL and the normal group (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).The levels of TAG were significantly higher (P＜0.01) while TC,HDL-C,LDL-C and non-HDL-C levels were significantly lower (P＜ 0.01 or P＜0.05) in the affected group of FHTG than in the affected group of FCHL.The association between LDL-C and non-HDL-C was positive both in FHTG and FCHL,but the relationship became weaker as TAG level increased.The cut-off value of LDL-C and non-HDL-C was 3.575 mmol/L and 4.525 mmol/L,respectively.Conclusion In addition to the routinely used lipid indexes,non-HDL-C may be a new index for differential diagnosis of FHTG and FCHL,and may be superior to LDL-C in this regard.

Objective: To explore the effect of different midwifery methods on the pelvic floor function of parturients and nursing experience. Methods: From January 2018 to December 2018, 200 cases of vaginal delivery in Enze Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Taizhou Hospital were selected as study objects.According to the random number table method, they were divided into non-invasive midwifery group and traditional midwifery group, with 100 cases in each group.The non-invasive midwifery group adopted non-invasive midwifery, while the traditional midwifery group adopted traditional midwifery.The pelvic floor muscle strength, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and postpartum hemorrhage were observed in the two groups. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in pelvic floor muscle strength between the two groups in grade 0, grade Ⅰ, grade Ⅱ, grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ(all P>0.05). The pelvic floor muscle strength of the observation group in grade Ⅴ (45.00%) was higher than that of the control group (31.00%), the difference was statistically significant (χ²=4.160, P<0.05). The incidence of sexual dysfunction (15.00%) and stress urinary incontinence (28.00%) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (41.00%, 54.00%) (χ²=16.766, 13.973, all P<0.05). The amount of bleeding 2 hours after delivery in the observation group [(245.93±19.89)mL] was less than that in the control group [(297.42±24.21)mL] (t=16.433, P<0.05). Conclusion Non-invasive midwifery has little effect on the pelvic floor function of parturients, and the incidence rate of sexual dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence is low, and the amount of bleeding is small, which is worthy of clinical reference.
