Objective To compare the postoperative analgesic effect of the single dose of oxycodone and dezocine in patients who underwent gynecological laparoscopic operation. Methods Sixty patients who underwent elective gynecological laparoscopic operation were randomly divided into two groups (n=30): oxycodone group (group O) and dezocine group (group D). Fifteen minutes before the end of surgery, oxycodone 0.1 mg/kg was given in O group, and dezocine 5 mg was given to D group. Twenty minutes before the end of surgery, tropisetron 5 mg was given to both groups. Analgesia was maintained by propofol-remifentanil with TCI. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of T1, T2, T3 and T4 were recorded respectively in both two groups. After the operation, pain of visual analogue scale (VAS) was assessed in 2 h ,4 h , 6 h and 24 h, respectively. Results There were no significant differences in MAP and HR between two groups at T1, T2, T3 and T4 (P＞0.05). The VAS score was significantly lower in group O than that of group D (P＜0.05). There was significant difference in the incidence of nausea between the two groups (P＜0.05). Conclusion Single dose of oxycodone 0.1 mg/kg can be used for postoperative analgesia after gynecological laparoscopic operation, and which has better analgesia than that of dezocine, except for the adverse reaction of nausea.

Objective To investigate clinical significance of soluble CD30/CD30L and CD40/CD40L system imbalance in ovarian serous tumors.Methods 40 patients of serous cystadenoma and 30 patients of serous cystadenocarcinoma were selected,and 40 age-and weight-matched healthy women were also recruited as the control group.Peripheral venous blood (3 ml) of the healthy control and patients with ovarian serous tumors before surgery and 7 days after surgery were collected.After separation of serum,ELISA was used to detect levels of sCD30,sCD30L,sCD40 and sCD40L.Results Compared to the control group,levels of sCD30,sCD30L,sCD40 and sCD40L in both serous cystadenoma and serous cystadenocarcinoma groups were significantly in creased (P＜0.05).And in those serous cystadenocarcinoma group,levels of such soluble proteins were much higher than in serous cystadenoma group (P＜0.05).7 days after surgery,levels of such soluble proteins were significantly decreased in both serous cystadenoma and serous cystadenocarcinoma groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Detection of serum sCD30/sCD30L and sCD40/sCD40L is possible to have a certain guiding significance to early diagnosis of ovarian tumors and the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors, clinical features and prognosis of abnormal liver function after receiving oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy regimen in patients with colorectal cancer, and to provide a relevant basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 108 colorectal cancer patients who received XELOX (oxaliplatin+capecitabine) or mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin+leucovorin+ 5-fluorouracil) chemotherapy regimen from October 2017 to May 2019 in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. According to the liver function indexes after chemotherapy, the patients were divided into abnormal liver function group and normal liver function group. The observation indexes included alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase. The clinical characteristics of liver dysfunction after oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy were analyzed and the related factors that might lead to liver dysfunction were analyzed by using multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:Among 108 patients receiving chemotherapy, there were 67 (62.0%) cases of abnormal liver function. The main grades of liver dysfunction were grade 1 and grade 2, including 49 cases of grade 1 (73.1%) and 16 cases of grade 2 (23.9%). After chemotherapy, the abnormal liver function usually began in 1-4 cycles, of which 22 cases were 1 cycle (32.8%), 17 cases were 2 cycles (25.4%), 20 cases were 3 cycles (29.8%), and 4 cases were 4 cycles (6.0%). Univariate analysis showed that the age <60 years old, chemotherapy cycle >6, the use of mFOLFOX6 regimen, unprotected hepatoprotective drugs were related to liver dysfunction ( χ2 values were 3.910,4.799, 12.861, 4.044; all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that mFOLFOX6 regimen and unprotected hepatoprotective drugs were independent risk factors of abnormal liver function ( HR = 3.405, 95% CI 1.266-9.159, P = 0.015; HR = 2.348, 95% CI 1.012-5.477, P = 0.047). Conclusions:For patients with colorectal cancer who have a high risk of liver dysfunction after chemotherapy, it is recommended to prefer XELOX regimen among oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy regimens and to take preventive liver protection treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of obesity on the potency of propofol for sedation.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes, aged 35-55 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ , scheduled for elective operation under general anesthesia, were enrolled in the study.The patients were divided into 2 groups (n=30 each) according to the body mass index (BMI) : normal body weight (BMI ＜ 25 kg/m2) group (group C) and obesity (BMI 30-40 kg/m2) group (group O).No patients received premedication.Propofol was given by target-controlled infusion.The initial target plasma concentration of propofol was set at 1.2 μg/ml.After the target concentration was steadily maintained for 30 s, it was increased in 0.3 μg/ml increment until the patients lost consciousness (OAA/S score =1).The target plasma concentration of propofol was recorded during each period.The median effective concentration (EC50) and 95％ confidence interval of propofol for loss of consciousness was calculated using probit analysis.Results The EC50 and 95％ confidence interval of propofol for loss of consciousness were 3.82 (3.73-3.90) and 3.29 (3.20-3.37) μg/ml in group C and group O, respectively.Compared with group C, the EC50 was significantly decreased in group O (P＜0.05).Conclusion Obesity can enhance the potency of propofol for sedation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between OPRM1 118A/G gene polymorphism and oxycodone analgesic dose in patients with cancer pain. METHODS: DNA sequencing was used to detect the genotypies of OPRM1 118 A/G site in 203 patients with moderate and severe cancer pain, and to compare the relationship between the pain degree and the dose of oxycodone at 3 and 30 days after treatment in patients with different genotypes. RESULTS: The fequencies of AA, AG and GG genotypes at the OPRM1 118 A/G site were 34.78%, 52.70%, and 12.52%, respectively. The dosage of oxycodone in GG genotype was significantly higher than that in AA genotype and AG genotype (15.44±10.19 vs. 10.25±4.53, 10.49±5.26; 89.15±27.69 vs. 43.59±12.19, 48.27±18.79) on the 3 and 30 day after treatment, difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION For cancer pain patients with GG genotype of OPRM1 118A/G site, if they need to achieve the same analgesic effect as patients with AA and AG genotype, the dose of oxycodone should be increased.

Purpose: Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor with a high mortality rate. Drug resistance is a major obstacle to GC therapy. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of exosomal circPRRX1 in doxorubicin resistance in GC. Materials and Methods: HGC-27 and AGS cells were exposed to different doses of doxorubicin to construct doxorubicin-resistant cell lines. Levels of circPRRX1, miR-3064-5p, and nonreceptor tyrosine phosphatase 14 (PTPN14) were detected by quantitative real-time PCR or Western blot assay. Then, 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide, transwell,and Western blot assays were used to explore the function of circPRRX1 in GC cells. Interactions among circPRRX1, miR-3064-5p,and PTPN14 were confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The in vivo function of circPRRX1 was analyzed in a xenograft tumor model. Results: CircPRRX1 was highly expressed in doxorubicin-resistant GC cell lines. Knockdown of circPRRX1 reversed doxorubicin resistance in doxorubicin-resistant GC cells. Additionally, extracellular circPRRX1 was carried by exosomes to spread doxorubicin resistance. CircPRRX1 silencing reduced doxorubicin resistance by targeting miR-3064-5p or regulating PTPN14. In GC patients,high levels of circPRRX1 in serum exosomes were associated with poor responses to doxorubicin treatment. Moreover, depletion of circPRRX1 reduced doxorubicin resistance in vivo. Conclusion CircPRRX1 strengthened doxorubicin resistance by modulating miR-3064-5p/PTPN14 signaling and might be a therapeutic target for GC patients.
