Objective To evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine and dezocine used to supplement awake tracheal intubation assisted by fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) in elderly patients.Methods Sixty elderly patients aged 65-77 yr,of ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ (Mallampati grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ),scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:dezocine group (group DEZ),dexmedetomidine group (group DEX) and dezocine combined with dexmedetomidine group (group DEZ+DEX).Dezocine 0.1 mg/kg was injected intravenously in group DEZ.Dexmedetomidine 0.4 μg/kg was infused intravenously over 10-15 min in group DEX.In group DEZ+DEX,dexmedetomidine 0.4 μg/kg was infused intravenously over 10-15 min,and dezocine 0.1 mg/kg was injected simultaneously.Laryngeal mucous membrane was sprayed with 2％ lidocaine for topical anesthesia during infusion in all the three groups.In addition,1％ tetracaine 3 ml was injected into trachea through cricothyroid membrane.Awake tracheal intubation was performed and assisted by FOB after the end of administration in all the three groups.Cardiovascular response (MAP or HR＞30％ of baseline values) and respiratory depression (SpO2＜90％ and RR＜8 bpm) were recorded during the period between induction of anesthesia and 3 min after intubation was completed.The intubation time was recorded.The tolerance of tracheal tube was assessed in the patients.At the time of topical anesthesia,when epiglottis came into view,immediately after tracheal tube was successfully inserted into trachea,and at 3 min after successful intubation,perfusion index and Ramsay sedation score,and patients' satisfaction with the sedation (Ramsay sedation score 2-4) were recorded.Results Compared with group DEZ or DEX,the tolerance of tracheal tube was significantly enhanced,intubation time was shortened,the rate of satisfactory sedation was increased,perfusion index and the incidence of cardiovascular response were decreased in DEZ+DEX group.There was no significant difference in respiratory depression among the three groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine and dezocine can provide better condition for awake tracheal intubation assisted by FOB than dexmedetomidine or dezocine alone in elderly patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical significance of miRNA-146, OX-LDL and ROS in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). METHODS: 100 patients with POI were prospectively collected and 100 women with normal ovarian function were randomly selected as control group. Serum miRNA-146 expression level was detected by qRT-PCR and serum OX-LDL and ROS expression levels were detected by ELISA. Ovarian granulosa cells of mouse were transfected with miRNA-146 mimics or inhibitors, and then treated with OX-LDL. Cell viability, colony forming ability, apoptosis rate and toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) of pathway proteins were evaluated respectively. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the expression level of miRNA-146 in POI group was significantly lower, the expression level of OX-LDL and ROS were significantly higher, and the ovarian volume and peak systolic blood flow velocity of ovarian artery were significantly decreased in POI group. Upregulation of miRNA-146 expression had a protective effect on OX-LDL injured ovarian granulosa cells, as evidenced by increased ovarian granulosa cell viability and colony number, reduced apoptosis, and downregulation of TLR4/NF-κB expression. CONCLUSION miRNA-146 can target downstream TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway affects oxidative stress and inflammatory response of POI induced by OX-LDL and ROS, and is expected to become a biomarker for early prediction of POI and a new target for treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To depict the cell landscape and molecular biological characteristics of human intrauterine adhesion (IUA) so as to better understand its immune microenvironment and provide new inspirations for clinical treatment. METHODS: Four patients with IUA who underwent hysteroscopic treatment at Dongguan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from February 2022 to April 2022 were selected as the study subjects. Hysteroscopy was used to collect the tissues of IUA, which were graded based on the patient's medical history, menstrual history and status of IUA. Library construction, sequencing, single cell data comparison and gene expression matrix construction were carried out in strict accordance with the single cell RNA sequencing process. Thereafter, the UMAP dimension reduction analysis of cell population and genetic analysis were carried out based on the cell types. RESULTS: A total of 27 511 cell transcripts were obtained from four moderately graded IUA tissue samples and assigned to six cell lineages including T cells, mononuclear phagocytes, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and erythrocytes. Compared with normal uterine tissue cells, the four samples showed different cell distribution, and the proportions of mononuclear phagocytes and T cells in sample IUA0202204 were significantly increased, suggesting a strong cellular immune response. CONCLUSION The cell diversity and heterogeneity of moderate IUA tissues have been described. Each cell subgroup has unique molecular characteristics, which may provide new clues for further study of the pathogenesis of IUA and heterogeneity among the patients.
