Objective To observe the therapeutic effect and safety of dexmedetomidine for sedation in ICU. Methods We selected 40 patients who transferred to the ICU with retained endotracheal intubation after abdominal surgery under general anesthesia in this study. 40 patients were randomly divided into the dexmedetomidine group (D group,20 cases) and midazolam group (M group,20 cases) . Patients in group D were treated with loading dose 1 μg/kg from central vein pump injection 20 min, 1h according to Ramsay score for each adjustment of drug dose is pumped into 0.2 ~ 0.7 μg/(kg.h). Patients in M group were given a loading dose of midazolam 0.05mg/kg intravenous injection 1 min, depending on the degree of sedation maintenance dose of 0.02 ~ 0.1 mg/(kg.h). Pain scores every 2 h (NRS),when the NRS score>4 sharing,plus fentanyl 1μg/kg. When the patients achieved the offline condition, the endotracheal tube was pulled out. The sedation efficiency, dosage of fentanyl, after discontinuation wake-up time, extubation time, duration of mechanical ventilation, the incidence of cardiovascular events and delirium were compared between two groups.Results The sedation efficacy in Group D sedation was significantly higher than in group M ( <0.05) . Compared with group M, the dosage of fentanyl in patients in D group was significantly reduced ( <0.05), the wake time after stopping, extubation time were significantly shorter ( <0.05) . The incidence of cardiovascular events has no significant difference between two groups during the treatment. The incidence of postoperative delirium in D group was significantly lower than in that in group M ( <0.05) . Conclusions Dexmedetomidine has good sedative effect, and can shorten the time of extubation with hemodynamic stability and low incidence of delirium for patients in the ICU. It is an ideal ICU sedative.

Objective To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided serratus plane block onefficacy of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing radical mastectomy. Methods From January 2013 to December 2016, sixty-eight ASA physical statusⅠorⅡ patients scheduled for radical mastectomy under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups (n = 34 each): SP block group (observation group) and control group. After induction of anesthesia, ultrasound-guided homolateral SP block was performed, and 0.375% ropivacaine 20 ml was injected in observation group, while the equal volume of normal saline was used instead in control group. The patients received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with sufentanil after operation in two groups. The scores of prince henry pain scale (PHPS) were evaluated at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th and 24th hour (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) after operation. The consumption of sufentanil, propofol and remifentanil was recorded.Meantime, the times of successfully delivered doses (D1) and attempts (D2) within 24 h after operation were added up, and D1/D2 was calculated. The adverse effects were also recorded. Results The scores of PHPS at T1 [(1.4 ± 0.5) scores vs. (3.1 ± 0.6) scores], T2 [(1.5 ± 0.6) scores vs. (2.9 ± 0.8) scores], T3 [(1.7 ± 0.5) scores vs. (2.8 ± 0.7) scores], and the consumption of sufentanil [(53.4 ± 16.7)μg vs. (87.8 ± 24.5)μg], remifentanil[(288.7 ± 42.1)μg vs. (376.5 ± 61.6)μg] were significantly lower in observation group than those in control group, while D1/D2 (0.89 ± 0.12 vs. 0.57 ± 0.18) was higher (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in observation group: 0 vs. 20.6% (7/34), P<0.05. Conclusions Ultrasound-guided SP block reduces the perioperative opioids consumption and enhances the efficacy of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing radical mastectomy.

METHODS Forty eight patients with nail extraction were randomly divided into two groups: in the study group,whose wound was covered with silver sulfadiazine-impregnated hydrocolloid dressing;in the control group,whose wound was applied vaseline gauze when the nail had been extracted and the wound was applied antibiotic gauze during dressing change.The pain scores of two groups were compared.Two groups were compared with healing time and the times of dressing change. RESULTS The pain scores in the study group were significantly lower than that of the control group.The healing time of wound and the times of dressing change in the study group were less than that of the control one((P

ObjectiveTo explore the inductive action of docosapentenoic acid(DPA) on neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells in vitro.MethodsNeurite outgrowth in PC12 cells was examined after the treatment with different concentration of DPA using Motic Zamges Plus software mapping cell image system.Western blot was performed to detect the expression of β Ⅲ-tubulin regulated protein kinase,a neuronal marker as well as ERK and protein kinase B (Akt) phosphorylation.ResultsPC12 cell neurite formation rate was increased in a concentration dependent manner in the induction of DPA,increased by 2.4% (DPA 10 μg/ml,P>0.05),18.6% (DPA 30 μg/ml,P<0.05) and 25.0% (DPA 50 μg/ml,P<0.05) compared with that in the control group.DPA promoted the expression of β Ⅲ-tubulin (P<0.05) and the phosphorylation level of ERK and Akt (P<0.05,P<0.01).ConclusionDPA promotes PC12 cell neurites growth and its mechanism may be related to the activation of ERK and Akt signaling pathways.

Objective: To explore the fitting and its influencing factors of ICU nurses. Methods: There were 268 nurses recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, the Ninth Hospital of Xi′an, Shaanxi Provincial People′s Hospital by convenience sampling between April and June 2018. The Fitting Scale, Social Undermining Scale, Perceived Organizational Support Scale and Supportive Communication Scale were used in the investigation. Results: The score of person-organization fit was (32.20±5.17). The score of person-job fit was (55.14±8.24), with the lowest score of supply-value fit subscale (2.58±0.48). The score of perceived organizational support, social undermining and supportive communication were (45.36±9.64), (46.27±7.48) and (68.47±11.25) respectively. Perceived organizational support, social undermining, contract nurses, and educational level could influence person- organization fit, which could explain 59.3% of the total variation. Working time, supportive communication and perceived organizational support could influence person- job fit, which could explain 47.6% of the total variation. Conclusions Nursing managers should improve the core value system of human resources management and organizational culture construction, enhance organizational support, construct humanities environment and coping strategy of undermining, provide the relevant training of interpersonal communication, and increase their organizational and job fitting.

Objective To explore the relocation stress in families of patients transferred from ICU, and the influence of social comparison orientation and family function on it. Methods There were 168 participants recruited from Critical Medical Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University by convenience sampling method between June 2017 and February 2018. The ICU patients′Family Relocation Stress Scale, Chinese version of the Iowa-Netherland Social Comparison Orientation Measure and Family Adaptation and Cohesion Evaluation Scale Ⅱ were used. Results The score of relocation stress and social comparison orientation were 58.47±7.66 and 37.83±9.11. The score of family real cohesion was 65.85 ± 7.83, which was higher than norms (t=-2.067, P<0.05). The score of dissatisfaction of adaptation was 9.22±4.41, which was higher than norms (t=-3.093, P<0.05). The results of regression analysis showed that the time of patient staying in ICU, education level, religion, social comparison orientation, family real cohesion and dissatisfaction of adaptation could influence relocation stress. Conclusion Health professionals should pay attention to the relocation stress in families, provide emotional support and effective information support, guide family members to correctly understand the patients′ condition and prognosis, respect their religious beliefs, give full play to their family functions, help them adapt to the role changes quickly and reduce the level of relocation stress.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of soluble cytokines secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on acute liver failure (ALF).Methods MSCs isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats were determined by FACS analysis.Conditioned medium derived from MSCs (MSCs-CM) was collected and analyzed by a cytokine microarray.SD rats were divided into 3 groups:(1) ALF + dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM) group:1 ml DMEM was injected into SD rats after D-Gal administration;(2) ALF + MSCs group:1 ml MSCs (1 × 106) was injected into SD rats after D-Gal administration;(3) ALF + MSCs-CM group:1 ml MSCs-CM was injected into SD rats after D-Gal administration.Biochemical indicators,survival rate,histology and inflammatory factors were studied.Exogenous recombinant rat IL-10,antirat IL-10 antibody and AG490 (STAT3 signaling pathway inhibitor) were administrated to explore the therapeutic mechanism of MSCs-CM.Results The respective serum biochemical indexes of ALF + DMEM group,ALF + MSCs group,and ALF + MSCs-CM group were:ALT (1 709.8 ± 372.1,865.5 ± 52.8,964.7 ± 414.6 U/L),AST (4234.0 ± 807.3,2440.8 ± 511.9,2739.8 ± 587.3 U/L),andTBil (79.3 ± 10.9,43.8 ± 7.0,61.2 ± 6.7 μg/L).The survival rates of the three groups were 10.0％,80.0％,and 70.0％,respectively.The levels of inflammatory factors in each group were IFN-γ (69.8 ± 4.7,46.4 ± 4.3,54.6 ± 2.4pg/ml),IL-1β (58.5 ± 7.6,40.5 ± 6.9,44.1 ± 6.0pg/ml),IL-6 (71.9 ± 16.1,38.4 ± 7.7,45.3 ± 9.0),and IL-10 (38.3 ± 6.0,75.4 ± 11.1,59.6 ± 11.9 pg/ml).Protein microarray results suggested that MSCs-CM expresses a variety of inflammatory-related cytokines,with IL-10 levels being most pronounced.IL-10 (ALT 1 126.9 ± 419.3 U/L,AST2370.8 ± 561.2 U/L) alone significantly reduced transaminase levels compared with ALF group (ALT 1 709.8 ± 372.1 U/L,AST 4234.0 ± 807.3 U/L),while anti-IL-10 antibody (ALT 1 568.5 ± 325.4 U/L,AST4043.7 ± 819.0 U/L) neutralized the therapeutic effect of MSCs-CM (ALT 964.7 ± 414.6 U/L,AST 2 739.8 ± 587.3 U/L).IL-10 could significantly increase the level of pSTAT3 in ALF rats (0.93 ± 0.03 vs 0.68 ± 0.01),while STAT3 inhibitor AG490 (0.84 ± 0.04) could decrease the expression of pSTAT3 and reverse the therapeutic effect of IL-10.Conclusion The factors released by MSCs,especially IL-10,have the potential therapeutic effect on ALF,and STAT3 signaling pathway may mediate the anti-inflammation effects of IL-10.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of emodin (EM) in renal interstitial fibrosis of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups,including sham operation group (n=8),UUO operation group (n=8),UUO operation+losartan (LST) group (n=8) and UUO operation+EM group (n=8).The mice in each group were ingested the suspensions by gavage for 14 days after surgery.Mice in UUO+LST and UUO+ EM groups were given 10 mg· kg-1· d-1 LST and 20 mg· kg-1 · d-1 EM,respectively.LST and EM were mixed with 0.5％ sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.Mice in sham group and UUO group were given 0.5％ sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.The mice were sacrificed at the 14th day.Interstitial fibrosis was observed by HE,Masson and PAS stain.Real-time PCR was used to detect LC3,Beclin-1 and mTOR mRNA.Protein expressions of TGF-β1,α-SMA,E-cadherin,LC3,Beclin-1,PI3K,p-Akt and mTOR were detected by Western blotting.The autophagy was observed with transmission electron microscopy in the renal tissue.Results Compared with sham mice,UUO mice at the 14th day displayed obvious renal fibrosis.Meanwhile,UUO mice had increased expressions of TGF-β1 and α-SMA (all P ＜ 0.01),and decreased expressions of E-cadherin (P ＜ 0.01).Their renal expressions of PI3K,p-Akt and mTOR were also raised (all P ＜ 0.01).Compared with those in UUO group,in UUO+LST group and UUO+EM group,expressions of autophagy protein LC3 and Beclin-1 were increased (all P ＜ 0.01),and the number of autophagic was increased.Additionally,expressions of TGF-β1 and α-SMA were reduced in UUO+LST group and UUO+EM group (all P ＜ 0.01),while the expression of E-cadherin was increased by emodin treatment (P＜ 0.05).And expressions of PI3K,p-Akt and mTOR were decreased in UUO + LST group and UUO + EM group (all P ＜ 0.05),meanwhile renal tissue fibrosis significantly reduced.Conclusions Emodin can promote autophagy,ameliorate renal interstitial fibrosis and protect renal function through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To analyze the influenza vaccination status of chronic disease management patients in Qingpu district of Shanghai and the vaccination characteristics of different characteristic populations, so as to provide scientific basis for improving the influenza vaccination rate of chronic disease patients in the community.Methods:By comparing the data of Shanghai chronic disease management information system, immunization planning information system and medical association platform, 89 453 subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in Qingpu district were selected as the research objects. The vaccination coverage rate of the study subjects was calculated according to gender, age group, urban and rural distribution, occupation, chronic disease type and quantity, and the vaccination coverage rate of different subgroups was compared to analyze the influencing factors of vaccination coverage rate.Results:Most of the 89 453 patients with chronic diseases were 60 years old and above (71.93%). Patients with hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmoriary disease (COPD) and three chronic diseases accounted for 87.12%, 28.67%, 8.71% and 1.83%, respectively. Influenza vaccination coverage in the 2016/2017 flu season was low, at 0.32%. Influenza vaccination coverage rate of women (0.37%) was higher than that of men (0.27%), which was 1.41 times respectively(95% CI: 1.16, 1.72) that of men patients. The coverage rate of influenza vaccination for the 70-79 year-old group was the highest (0.74%), which was 1.74 times respectively(95% CI: 1.39, 2.19) that of 60-69 year-old patients. The vaccination coverage rate of government departments and institutions was the highest (1.14%), which was 12.58 times respectively(95% CI: 4.52, 34.99) that of retirees. The vaccination rate of COPD patients (3.68%) was 2.50 times (95% CI: 1.66, 3.77) higher than that of patients without COPD.Conclusions:Influenza vaccination rate for chronic disease management patients in Qingpu district of Shanghai is low. Gender, occupation, age and types of chronic diseases are the influencing factors. Patients with chronic disease management should be included in the priority vaccination targets for influenza vaccines, and vaccination intervention for occupational chronic diseases such as non-retired agriculture and forestry patients, especially male patients, should be strengthened to improve influenza vaccination coverage rate.
