Objective To compare the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction ( POCD) under total inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane versus total intravenous anesthesia with propofol in elderly patients. Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients, aged 65-77 yr, weighing 43-78 kg, with preoperative Mini?Mental State Examination ( MMSE) score≥25, scheduled for elective surgery for oral and maxillofacial carcinoma, were divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table: total inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane group ( group S) and total intravenous anesthesia with propofol?based anesthesia group ( group P ) . The patients were tracheally intuba?ted under local infiltration anesthesia. In group S, anesthesia was induced with inhalation of 8% sevoflurane (oxygen flow rate 8 L∕min), rocuronium 0?9 mg∕kg was injected intravenously when the bispectral index ( BIS) value reached 45, and the patients were mechanically ventilated; anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane with the end?tidal concentration of 2%-3%. In group P , anesthesia was induced with iv propofol 2 mg∕kg and sufentanil 0?3μg∕kg, rocuronium 0?9 mg∕kg was injected intravenously when the BIS value reached 45, and the patients were mechanically ventilated; anesthesia was maintained with target?controlled infusion of propofol ( target plasma concentration 3-5μg∕ml) and remifentanil ( target plas?ma concentration 3-5 ng∕ml). In both groups, intermittent iv boluses of cisatracurium 0?04 mg∕kg were given to maintain muscle relaxation during operation, and BIS value was maintained at 40-60 during opera?tion. Before intubation ( T1 ) , immediately after onset of intubation ( T2 ) , at 10 min of intubation ( T3 ) , immediately after begninning of skin incision ( T4 ) , while operating on the base of tongue or sawing the low?er jaw ( T5 ) , at the end of operation ( T6 ) and on the morning of the postoperative day 1 ( T7 ) , blood sam?ples from the elbow vein were collected for determination of plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine concen?trations by high?performance liquid chromatography and electrochemistry. At T1?7 and on the morning of the postoperative day 3 ( T8 ) , blood samples from the elbow vein were collected for measurement of plasma cor?tisol concentrations by radioimmunoassay. MMSE was used to assess the cognitive function on the postopera?tive day 7. MMSE score< 24 was defined as POCD, and the occurrence of POCD was recorded. Results Compared with group S, the plasma concentrations of norepinephrine and epinephrine were significantly de?creased at T4 and T5 , the plasma cortisol concentration was significantly decreased at T4?7 ( P<0?05) , and no significant change was found in the incidence of POCD on the postoperative day 7 in group P ( P>0?05) . Conclusion Although the probability of the development of POCD is low when the two anesthetic methods are used, total intravenous anesthesia with propofol?based anesthesia induces a marked decrease in periop?erative stress responses when compared with total inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane.

Objective:To evaluate the anti-metastatic and bone preserving therapeutic effects of herbal medicine extraction on rat model of bone metastatic carcinoma.Methods:A rat model of cancer-induced bone pain using the MRMT-1 cell line injected into the tibia was established to investigate the efficacy of the herbal medicine extraction,on osteoclast activity and bone mineral density.The development of the bone tumor and structural damage to the bone was monitored by radiological analysis.Specimens of the tibial bone were processed for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)stain to observe the bone pathological changes and count TRAP stained osteoclasts.OPG and RANKL expression was evaluated by immunohistological methord.Results:Histological and radiological examination showed that the herbal medicine extraction significantly inhibited tumor proliferation and preserved the cortical and trabecular bone structure.In addition,a dramatic reduction of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase-positive polykaryocytes(osteoclasts)and increase of OPG expression were observed.Conclusions:The herbal medicine extraction was an anti-metastatic and bone preserving therapeutic effects in a rat model of metastatic cancer pain.

Aptamers are oligonucleotides which can combine targets with high affinity and specificity.Graphene oxide is a kind of new material with many unique physical and chemical properties.Recently, graphene oxide is gradually applied to the field of aptamers and has made a series of progress.This review focused on the application progress of graphene oxide and aptamers in the detection of different targets including small molecules and metal ion, biomacromolecules and cells in order to provide references for the mass application of graphene oxide and aptamers in the field of detection .

Objective To investigate anesthesia efficacy and safety between two drugs joint propofol intrave-nous anesthesia for colonoscopy,to provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods 120 routine colonoscopy patients were selected,they were randomly divided into control group and observation group,60 cases in each group. Patients of the control group were given ketamine and propofol before examination.Patients in the observation group were given fentanyl and propofol for intravenous anesthesia before the examination.The arterial pressure MAP,heart rate,HR,pulse oximetry SpO2 ,recovery time,time away from the hospital,anesthetic effects and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results Anesthesia excellent rate in the observation group was 86.67%,that was 85.00% in the control group,the difference was not significant (χ2 =0.984,P =0.114).In the observation group,the recovery time and time away from the hospital were (7.44 ±1.24)min,(19.11 ±2.67)min,which were significantly shorter than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =5.847,P =0.004;t =6.922,P =0.001).The MAP,SpO2,HR at different time points showed statistically significant differences between the two groups(P >0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the observation group was 21.67%, that in the control group was 36.67%,the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =5.665,P =0.007). Conclusion Fentanyl and propofol for intravenous anesthesia in colonoscopy has good anesthetic effect and good safety,which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the analgesic effects of herbal medicine extraction on bone cancer pain of rat models. Methods Rat models of cancer-induced bone pain was established by using the MRMT-1 cell line injected into the tibia. Changes of behavioral signs indicative of pain including 50% paw withdrawal threshold (von Frey tactile sensitivity test)and thermal withdrawal latency were observed. The cellular reorganization of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was measured by histological analysis. Results In the behavioural tests, herbal medicine treatment attenuated mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia. Histological examination showed that herbal medicine inhibited DRG neuronal nuclear and somatic size reduction with nucleolar segregation. Conclusion The herbal medicine extraction was an anti-nociceptive agent in rat models of bone cancer pain.

Aim To establish a model of the vascular endothelial cell (VEC) injury in SDrats.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into the control and the modelgroups. The model rats were injected with adrenaline diluted to 2. 5 times 0. 05 mg?100 g-1 (tid) for 5 d continously. From the 4th d, they were irritated for 5 min in the0℃ cold-water in the middle between adrenaline injections.The control rats weregiven 0. 9% NS as above. At 6th d, blood samples were taken from carotid arteries ofthe rats and the CEC counts, t - PA、PAI activities, 6-keto-PGF1? concentrations andthe platelet aggregation rate(max) were detected respectively. Results In the modelgroup, as compared with those in the control group, t - PA activity and 6-keto-PGF1?concentration decreased significantly(P
