Objective:To identify the risk factors for moderate-to-severe pain in postanesthesia care unit (PACU) in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery.Methods:The medical records of patients of both sexes, aged 18-80 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ, transferred to PACU with tracheal intubation from January 2019 to January 2020, were retrospectively collected.Combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia was used during surgery.The patient′s age, gender, ASA physical status, smoking history, drinking history, history of non-thoracic surgery, history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, and history of immune system disease were collected.The operation method, type of operation, operation time, intraoperative nerve block and use of opioids and dexmedetomidine were also collected.The consumption of rescue analgesics during PACU, occurrence of nausea and vomiting, and length of stay in PACU were also collected.Patients were divided into moderate-to-severe pain group (VAS score>3 points) and non-moderate-to-severe pain group (VAS score≤3 points) according to the VAS scores at rest and during activity at 10 min after extubation in PACU.Logistic regression analysis was used to identity the risk factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU.Results:A total of 1 698 patients were included in this study, the incidence of moderate-to-severe pain at rest was 46.70%, and the incidence of moderate-to-severe pain during activity was 54.12%.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that female, radical resection of esophageal cancer, mediastinal surgery, internal fixation for rib/sternal surgery were risk factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU, and increasing age, endoscopic surgery, intraoperative use of nerve block and dexmedetomidine were protective factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Female, radical resection of esophageal cancer, mediastinal surgery, and rib/sternal surgery are risk factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery; increasing age, endoscopic surgery, intraoperative use of nerve block and dexmedetomidine are protective factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Objective: To investigate the coping styles and subjective well-being of nurses in the emergency treatment room of grade A tertiary hospitals in a province of China, and to explore the relationship between coping styles and subjective well-being. Methods: In January 2016, 189 nurses in the emergency treatment room were selected from 9 grade A tertiary hospitals in a province of China by random sampling. The general data, coping styles, and subjective well-being of these nurses were analyzed using the general questionnaire, coping style questionnaire, and Campbell index of well-being scale, respectively. Results: The total score of subjective well-being of nurses in the emergency treatment room was 7.54, and the subjective well-being was significantly different between the nurses with different professional titles and between those with different education levels (F=3.46 and 3.47, both P<0.05). The score of illusion coping style differed significantly across the nurses of different ages (F=5.17, P<0.05) , the scores of self-reproach, illusion, and withdrawal coping styles differed significantly across the nurses with different nursing years (F=3.99, 5.30, and 4.97, all P<0.05) , and the score of illusion coping style differed significantly across the nurses with different education levels (F=5.09, P<0.05). Most (71.9%) of the nurses in the emergency treatment room adopted the mature coping style. Subjective well-being was positively correlated with problem-solving, help-seeking, and rationalization (r=0.232, 0.018, and 0.167, all P<0.05) and negatively correlated with withdrawal (r=-0.146, P<0.05) . Conclusion Most nurses in the emergency treatment room adopt the mature coping style. Their subjective well-being and coping style vary with different ages, nursing years, professional titles, and education levels, and the subjective well-being is relatively low.

0.05).The Nestin and C-kit expressions can be detected in all cases of GISTs by RT-PCR and Western Blot.Conclusion In conjunction with C-kit,Nestin may be a useful marker for diagnosis of GISTs but it cannot be used as a tumor differentiation index.

Aim To investigate the effects of chronic corticos-terone injection on anxiety and depression-like behavior of tree shrews, evaluate the predictability of drug and establish a novel animal model of anxious depression .Methods Twelve Chinese and Burma tree shrews were randomly divided into normal group, model group and venlafaxine group .The anxious depres-sion model of tree shrew was established by chronic corticoster-one injection ( ih, 27 mg· kg-1 , 21 d) .The venlafaxine group received intragastric administration (6 mg· kg-1).Autonomous activity score, sugar water preference test and Morris water maze test were used to evaluate the anxiety and depression-like behav-ior of tree shrews .The expressions of CRH , ACTH and COR in the tree shrew plasma were determined by Elisa kit .The con-tents of monoamine neurotransmitters of tree shrews in the hippo-campus , amygdala and prefrontal cortex were detected by HPLC-ECD.Results Compared with the normal group , the autono-mous activity score , sugar water partial eclipse degree and the learning and memory ability significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the contents of CRH , ACTH and COR significantly in-creased ( P<0.05) , and the contents of 5-HT, NE and DA in the hippocampus , amygdala and prefrontal cortex declined in the model group(P<0.05).In the venlafaxine group, the learning and memory abilities of the tree shrews were improved , the lev-els of CRH and COR in plasma were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the contents of 5-HT, NE and DA were increased (P<0.05).Conclusions The tree shrews of anxious depres-sion have obvious HPA axis hyperactivity and monoamine neuro-transmitter disorder , and venlafaxine can reverse this phenome-non, indicating that the tree shrews model of anxious depression has drug predictability , which is a kind of novel animal model of anxious depression closer to human in clinic .

OBJECTIVETo study the expression ratio of AML1-ETO9a (AE9a) isoform in t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its clinical significance.

METHODSBone marrow samples from 44 newly diagnosed t(8;21) AML patients co-expressed AE9a and AE were screened by RT-PCR. The alteration of the AE9a expression ratio was monitored during follow-up by using quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qPCR).

RESULTSThe expression level of AE9a was markedly lower than that of AE in these patients. There was a positive correlation between the expression level of AE9a and AE in most of bone marrow samples. The transcript level of both AE9a and AE was decreased in the 44 patients after one course of standard chemotherapy, but the percentage of AE9a expression level was increased in comparison with that before treatment (P < 0.05). After one course of standard chemotherapy treatment, the percentage of AE9a in incomplete remission (ICR) patients was significantly higher than that in CR patients (P < 0.05). Relapsed patients had a higher AE9a ratio than the unrelapsed patients (P < 0.05). During the remission, the percentage of AE9a in 11/17 relapsed patients obviously elevated even while the expression of AE fusion gene at low level.

CONCLUSIONSAE9a and AE co-expressed in most of AML patients with t(8;21) translocation. The expression level of AE9a was lower than that of AE, and there is a positive correlation between the expression level of these two isoforms. The sensitivity of AE9a gene to the standard chemotherapy is less than that of the AE fusion gene. Monitoring the AE9a to AE ratio during the CR can predict the early relapse of the disease compared to monitoring the AE alone.

Human bone marrow is the major source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). It was reported that the standard density gradient centrifugation method was not efficient in isolating MSC and it may be caused by the existing of bone marrow particles. In previous study, a lot of MSC were obtained by culturing bone marrow particles alone combined with standard method. However, it is time- and labor-consuming to obtain bone marrow particles by filtering and to isolate MNC by density gradient centrifugation. This study was purposed to explore the more simple and efficient method to isolate MSC from bone marrow. Seven normal bone marrow aspirates were collected and centrifugated. The bone marrow particles floated on surface layers were cultured by modified primary explant culture, whereas the bone marrow aspirates deposited were cultured by direct plating method, then the immun phenotype and differentiation capability of isolated cells were analyzed. The results showed that in 3 of 7 aspirates, bone marrow particles were floated on surface layers, whereas the other bone marrow cells and some particles were deposited after centrifugation. The MSC were reliably isolated from the floating layers or deposited aspirates by modified primary explant culture and direct plating method separately. After 3 passages the isolated MSC did not express CD45 and CD34, but expressed CD105, CD73, CD44, CD90, CD49e and they could differentiate into chondrocytes and adipocytes. It is concluded that normal human bone marrow MSC can be isolated simply and efficiently by direct plating method in combination with modified primary explant culture.

The inflammatory response is involved in the pathogenesis of the most common types of heart disease.Sanguinarine (SAN) has various pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,antibacterial,antitumor,and immune-enhancing properties.However,few studies have investigated the effects of SAN on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory and apoptotic responses in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.Therefore,in this study,H9c2 cells were co-treated with SAN and LPS,and the mRNA levels of pro-inflammation markers and the apoptosis rate were measured to clarify the effect of SAN on cardiac inflammation.The underlying mechanism was further investigated by detecting the activation of Toll-like receptor (TLR)4/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways.As a result,increased mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-1 β,IL-6,and TNFα induced by LPS was attenuated after SAN treatment;LPS-induced apoptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes and cleaved-caspase 8,9,3 were all significantly reduced by SAN.Further experiments showed that the beneficial effect of SAN on blocking the inflammation and apoptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes induced by LPS was associated with suppression of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.It was suggested that SAN suppressed the LPS-induced inflammation and apoptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes,which may be mediated by inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.Thus,SAN may be a feasible therapy to treat sepsis patients with cardiac dysfunction.
