Objective:To investigate changes in arterial acid-base and electrolytes after repeated episodes of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and defibrillation in a swine model.Methods:Sixteen Peking white swine, weighting (32±2.5) kg, were placed with temporary pacemaker electrodes via the left femoral vein into the right ventricle after anesthesia. Then VF was electrically induced by using a programmed electrical stimulation instrument. An arterial cannula was inserted into the left femoral artery to measure mean arterial blood pressure and cardiac output using a PiCCO monitor, with blood samples collected. The pigs were randomly divided into two group: the manual defibrillation group (MD, n=8) and the automated external defibrillation group (AED, n=8). The first defibrillation was attempted with the manufacturer’s dose (150 J) for 15 s after the successful induction of VF in the MD group. If spontaneous circulation was not recovered, 2-min chest compression and subsequent defibrillation (200 J) were attempted. For the AED group, the defibrillation was delivered following voice prompts of the AED. After the return of spontaneous circulation, the pig was allowed to stabilize for 30 min, followed by the induction of the next episode of VF. The above process was repeated five times. Arterial blood gas, cardiac biomarkers, and hemodynamic variables were measured at 30 min after the return of spontaneous circulation. Results:All pigs were successfully induced VF five times and defibrillated successfully. There were no significant changes in heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure between the two groups after repeated episodes of VF and defibrillation. Compared with baseline measurements, cardiac output tended to decrease after repeated episodes of VF and defibrillation but was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences in arterial pH, HCO 3-, sodium, and lactic acid in the two groups between each measurement time point and baseline values after repeated VF (all P>0.05), but potassium levels in the two groups decreased with time, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the baseline measurement (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB, and cardiac troponin I for the two groups compared with baseline values after repeated episodes of VF and defibrillation or various episodes of VF between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:Repeated episodes of VF and defibrillation have no significant effect on pH balance, but significantly decrease blood potassium. Clinical approaches (MD vs. AED) do not affect defibrillation effect, with no significant differences in hemodynamic variables and myocardial injuries.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) complicated with cerebral cardiac syndrome (CCS).Methods:The clinical data of AIS patients admitted to the ICU of our hospital from January 2019 to May 2021 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. According to whether CCS occured after stroke, the patients were divided into the CCS group and control group. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the clinical characteristics of AIS combined with CCS and the risk factors for the occurrence of CCS.Results:A total of 196 patients with AIS were included, and 92 patients had CCS, of which 74 occurred within 72 h after AIS. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that old age ( OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.01-1.23), hypertension ( OR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.26-1.58), diabetes ( OR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.86-2.24), chronic kidney disease ( OR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.22-1.48), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( OR=1.46, 95% CI:1.22-2.48), smoking ( OR=1.52, 95% CI:1.23-1.78), higher NISSH score ( OR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.29-1.48), brainstem infarction ( OR=2.33, 95% CI: 2.21-2.50), thalamic infarction ( OR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.17-1.28), and hyperlipidemia ( OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.61-1.96) were associated with the occurrence of CCS after stroke. Conclusions:CCS is a common complication in patients with AIS, and mostly occurs within 72 hours after stroke. The risk of CCS is not only related to the history of hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, smoking history and hyperlipidemia, but also related to the location of infarction and the degree of nerve function injury. The changes of cardiac function in patients with AIS should be closely monitored to prevent cardiac events.

Objective:To summarise the advantages and disadvantages of applying the method of retrograde replantation with an operative position of foot stepping and knee bending for replantation of rotational avulsed and fractured great toes.Methods:From January 2016 to June 2021, 11 rotational avulsed and fractured great toes were replanted with the method of retrograde replantation in an operative position of foot stepping and knee bending. Of the 11 patients, 10 were males and 1 was female, aged 18 to 50 years old with an average of 32 years old. Causes of injury: 5 of driving belt, 4 of machinery crush and 2 of car accident. Injury sites: 4 on left great toes and 7 on right great toes. All of the injuries were with fracture and exposure of proximal tendons of flexor and extensor. Seven patients had the follow-up reviews by outpatient clinic visiting, 2 over mobile phone and 2 via WeChat.Results:After surgery, 9 great toes completely survived and 2 great toes had necrosis. The survival rate of toe replantation was 81.8%(9/11). The operation time was 2 to 3 hours, with an average of 2.5 hours. Postoperative X-ray film showed that 8 to 12 weeks after the operation, the fracture and joint fusion were healed at first stage in the survived toes. All patients were entered in follow-up for 3 to 18 months with 10.5 months in average. The survived great toes were plump and the toenail grown well. At the final follow-up, the static TPD at the toes was 8-12 mm, with an average of 10 mm. There was no effect shown on either walking or running.Conclusion:The retrograde replantation method with an operative position of foot stepping and knee bending for great toe replantation has the characteristics of a good field of view and convenient in operation under microscope, a short operation time, and a high survival rate of replantation.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of Matas test combined with endovascular intervention on patients with traumatic internal carotid-cavernous fistula.Methods:A retrospective case study was performed on 144 patients with traumatic internal carotid-cavernous fistula treated in our department from August 2012 to June 2018. The clinical symptoms, intraocular pressure and visual acuity data before and after surgery were counted, and the paired t test was used for statistical analysis. Logistic regression was performed to analyze factors affecting recurrence.Results:The main symptoms of traumatic internal carotid-cavernous fistula were proptosis, bulbar conjunctival hyperemia and cranial sound. Postoperative intraocular pressure was significantly lower than preoperative intraocular pressure [(11.13±2.97) mmHg vs. (22.37±6.64) mmHg] and postoperative visual acuity was significantly higher than preoperative visual acuity [(0.69±0.36) vs. (0.47±0.25)] and (both P<0.05). Postoperative intraocular pressure was an independent risk factor for recurrence within 3 months ( OR=0.357, 95% CI: 0.135-0.944, P=0.037), and the recurrence rate was 10.42%. Conclusions:Matas test combined with endovascular intervention in the treatment of traumatic internal carotid-cavernous fistula can effectively reduce intraocular pressure, improve visual acuity, and has a definite curative effect. It is one of the effective treatment methods for traumatic internal carotid-cavernous fistula.

Objective:To evaluate the treatment of infected nonunion after internal fixation of subtrochanteric fracture with a reconstruction stent of external fixation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 5 male patients with infected nonunion after internal fixation of subtrochanteric fracture who had been treated and completely followed up at The Great Wall Orthopaedics and Hand Surgery Hospital from January 2017 to October 2022. The patients were (30.0±13.5) years old. Seinsheimer fracture types: ⅢA (1 case), ⅢB (1 case), Ⅳ (2 cases), and Ⅴ (1 case); original internal fixation: intramedullary system (4 cases) and plate fixation (1 case); the Cierny-Mader anatomical classification: type Ⅳ (diffuse type) for all. After complete debridement at stage one, 2 or 3 hydroxyapatite (HA) coated screws were placed at both fracture ends from the lateral side of the femur for unilateral reconstruction external fixation. Next, a hybrid external fixation scaffold was added with a 1/3 ring at the sagittal position and 1 or 2 HA screws in 4 cases while unilateral reconstruction external fixation was constructed at both sides by inserting 2 HA screws into both fracture ends from the anterior femur at the sagittal position in 1 case. Antibiotic bone cement was used to fill bone defects of (3.8±1.8) cm. At 6 to 8 weeks after debridement when infection did not recur, antibiotic bone cement was removed before autogenous iliac bone grafting was performed in 3 patients and osteotomy bone transport in 2 patients. Infection control, bone union time, time for removal of external fixation stent, complications, Sanders hip function score and Paley bone outcome score were recorded.Results:The 5 patients were followed up for (23.4±8.1) months after surgery. Infection at the fracture ends was controlled after 1 time of debridement in 3 patients and after 2 times of debridement in 2 patients. The loosening HA screws were replaced twice due to infection at the proximal nail tract, and autologous bone grafting was performed at the opposite fracture ends in 1 case; no complications occurred in the other 4 cases. Bony union was achieved at the extended segment and fracture ends in all patients. The time for imaging union after bone reconstruction was (10.2±3.4) months. The time for wearing a stent of external fixation was (18.0±4.5) months. There was no recurrent infection or lingering infection. According to the Sanders hip function score at the last follow-up, 4 cases were excellent and 1 case was good; according to the Paley bone outcome score, the curative effect was excellent in all.Conclusion:Application of a reconstruction stent of external fixation combined with antibiotic bone cement can control infection at the first stage and conduct bone reconstruction at the second stage to successfully treat the infected nonunion and preserve the hip function after internal fixation of subtrochanteric fracture.

Objective:To investigate the effect of acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH) with 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 on pharmacodynamics of propofol during successful laryngeal mask airway (LMA) implantation.Methods:American Society of Anesthesiology physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 30-60 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-25.0 kg/m 2, undergoing elective extensive total hysterectomy under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups: AHH group (group A) and control group (group C). In group A, 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 was infused at a rate of 20 ml/min for AHH, and the target hematocrit was 30%.In group C, lactated Ringer′s solution was infused according to the " 4-2-1" rule to supplement physiological requirements, and anesthesia induction was performed after 10 min of stabilization.Sufentanil was administered by target-controlled infusion using Bovil pharmacokinetic model with effect-site concentration (Ce) of 0.25 ng/ml, 3 min later propofol was given by target-controlled infusion using Schnider model.The Ce of propofol in the first patient was set at 5.0 μg/ml.Each time the concentration of propofol was increased/decreased by 0.5 μg/ml according to the sequential method.LMA was inserted following 1 min equilibration between plasma concentration and Ce of propofol.The trial was terminated when 8 consecutive inflection points of failed/successful LMA insertion occurred.The EC 5, EC 50, EC 95 and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of propofol were calculated by probit regression analysis. Results:In group A, the EC 5 (95% CI), EC 50 (95% CI) and EC 95 (95% CI) of propofol when LMA was successfully placed were 4.237 (3.090-4.514) μg/ml, 4.802 (4.500-5.078) μg/ml and 5.443 (5.125-7.304) μg/ml, respectively.In group C, the EC 5 (95% CI), EC 50 (95% CI) and EC 95 (95% CI) of propofol when LMA was successfully placed were 2.408 (1.190-2.756) μg/ml, 3.120 (2.690-3.472) μg/ml and 4.042 (3.582-7.431) μg/ml, respectively.There was significant difference in EC 5, EC 50 and EC 95 between the two groups ( P<0.01). Conclusion:AHH with 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 can decrease the efficacy of propofol when LMA is successfully implanted.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of esketamine combined with ultrasound-guided dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) on negative postoperative behavioral changes (NPOBCs) in pediatric patients undergoing circumcision under general anesthesia.Methods:One-hundred and ninety-five pediatric patients, aged 4-8 yr, with body mass index of 10-35 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠ or Ⅱ, undergoing elective circumcision under general anesthesia, were selected and divided into 3 groups ( n=65 each) using a random number table method: esketamine group (group E), DPNB group (group D) and esketamine combined with DPNB group (group ED). Propofol 1.5 mg/kg was intravenously injected, and the patients were admitted to the operating room after consciousness disappeared in the 3 groups. Esketamine 0.5 mg/kg was intravenously injected in E and ED groups, and the equal volume of normal saline was given in group D. D and ED groups underwent bilateral DPNB with 0.25 % ropivacaine 0.15 ml/kg under ultrasound guidance, with the maximum total amount of the drug not exceeding 10 ml. Fentanyl 1.0 μg/kg and propofol 2.0 mg/kg were intravenously injected prior to the skin incision in the three groups. If intraoperative body movement occurred, propofol 10 mg was added, which could be repeated. The occurrence of intraoperative body movement, respiratory depression and amount of propofol added was recorded. When postoperative pain (FLACC score >4) occurred, flurbiprofen 1 mg/kg was intravenously injected for analgesia, and the usage of flurbiprofen was recorded. When emergence agitation(PEAD score>10) occurred, propofol 1 mg/kg was intravenously injected for sedation, and the occurrence of emergence agitation was recorded. Parents were followed up by telephone at 1, 7 and 30 days postoperatively to assess the occurrence of NPOBCs using the PHBQ scale. Results:Fifty-six patients in group E and 59 patients in D and ED groups finally completed the study.Compared with group E, the incidence of intraoperative body movement was significantly decreased, the amount of additional propofol was reduced, the emergence agitation score, incidence of emergence agitation and severe agitation and usage rate of postoperative flurbiprofen were decreased, and the incidence of separation anxiety at 7 and 30 days postoperatively was decreased in D and ED groups, and the incidence of intraoperative respiratory depression was significantly decreased, and the incidence of NPOBCs at 7 and 30 days postoperatively was decreased in group ED ( P<0.05). Compared with group D, the incidence of intraoperative respiratory depression was significantly decreased, the amount of additional propofol was decreased, the usage rate of postoperative flurbiprofen and incidence of sleep anxiety at 1 day postoperatively were decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of NPOBCs at each time point after operation in group ED ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Esketamine combined with ultrasound-guided DPNB can reduce the occurrence of NPOBCs in pediatric patients undergoing circumcision under general anesthesia.

To explore the prognostic factors for patients with drug-induced liver failure (DILF) and construct a logistic regression model (LRM).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical data was performed in 183 hospitalized patients, who were diagnosed with DILF in Xiangya Hospital, the Second Xiangya Hospital and the Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2009 to January 2018. The patients were divided into an improved group (n=67) and an ineffective group (n=116) according to their prognosis. Univariate analysis was performed to screen for possible prognostic factors such as age, Tbil, SCr, PT and complications. According to the results of univariate analysis, the multivariate analysis was performed to determine the independent prognostic factors and construct a LRM. The LRM was compared with the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), the predictive value of LRM and MELD was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), the parameters such as area under the ROC (AUC) and total accuracy were compared between the 2 models and verified by another independent sample.
Results: According to univariate analysis, there was significant differences in age, clinical type, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, WBC count, the ratio of aspartic acid transaminase (AST) to glutamine transaminase (ALT) (AST/ALT), Tbil, SCr, PT and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) between the 2 groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that: AFP, PT, AST/ALT, hepatic encephalopathy and hepatorenal syndrome were independent prognostic factors for DILF, which could be applied to constructing a LRM. The AUC of LRM and MELD was 0.917 (95% CI 0.876 to 0.959) and 0.709 (95% CI 0.633 to 0.786) respectively, the total accuracy rate of prediction for the LRM and the MELD was 86.7% and 68.3% respectively, there was significant difference in AUC and total accuracy rate between the LRM and the MELD (P<0.05). LRM was superior to MELD.
Conclusion: AFP, PT, AST/ALT, hepatic encephalopathy and hepatorenal syndrome were independent prognostic factors for DILF; the LRM can well predict the prognosis in the DILF patients, which is superior to the MELD.
