Objective To investigate the effect of methylene blue (MB) on oxygen metabolism in patients with septic shock. MethodsForty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients with septic shock aged 38-64 yr weighing 48-75 kg undergoing emergency surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): group Ⅰ norepinephrine (group NE) and group Ⅱ MB. The patients were unpremedicated. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, etomidate,sufentanil and vecuronium and maintained with inhalation of 0.5％-1.5％ sevoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of sufentanil and vecuronium. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. PETCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. During operation MB was infused at 0.5-1.0 mg·kg-1·h-1 in group MB and NE at 0.5-2.0 μg· kg-1 · min-1 in group NE respectively to maintain hemodynamic stability. Radial artery was cannulated and connected with Vigileo cardiac output monitor. Right internal jugular vein was cannulated for CVP monitoring.HR, SvO2, MAP, CVP, SV and CI were continuously monitored. Arterial and central venous blood samples were collected simultaneously before induction of anesthesia (T0, baseline), immediately before (T1) and at 30, 60 and 90 min after skin incision (T2-4) and at the end of operation (T5) . Blood gas analysis was performed. O2 consumption index (VO2I), O2 delivery index (DO2I) and O2 extraction rate (ERO2) were calculated. Blood lactate concentration was measured. Results MAP, HR, CVP, SVRI, DO2I, VO2I and ERO2 were significantly higher,while CI and blood lactate concentration lower during operation (T2-5) in group MB than in group NE. MAP, HR,CVP, SVRI, VO2I, DO2I, and ERO2 were significantly higher, while CI and blood lactate concentration were lower during operation (T2-5) as compared with the baseline values at T0 in group MB. In group NE there were no significant change in MAP, HR, CVP and DO2I during operation (T2-5 ) as compared with the baseline at T0. ConclusionIntravenous infusion of MB at 0.5-1.0 mg·kg-1·h-1 during operation may improve hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in patients with septic shock.

Objective: To explore the difference between hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) on two-vessel coronary artery disease with proximal left anterior descending stenosis with propensity score matching. Methods: The patients with two-vessel coronary artery disease with proximal left anterior descending stenosis who underwent isolated HCR or OPCABG were selected in Ruijin Hospital from January 2009 to December 2016. The propensity score methodology was used to obtain risk-adjusted outcome. Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to estimation of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE)-free survival rate and target vessel revascularization (TVR)-free survival rate. Results: The average follow-up time was 59 months (13-104 months). The length of hospital stay of HCR group was significantly shorter than that of OPCABG group [(15.3±4.5) d vs (17.6±5.4) d, P=0.027]. There was no statistical difference in other short-term clinical endpoints in hospital. In midterm, there was no statistical difference in the rate of MACCE (11.4% vs 13.3%, P=0.968), death (2.3% vs 4.4%, P=0.984), myocardial infarction (2.3% vs 2.2%, P=0.485), stroke (4.5% vs 6.7%, P=0.979) and TVR (4.5% vs 2.2%, P=0.984) between two groups. And there was no statistical difference in MACCE-free survival rate (P=0.906) and TVR-free survival rate (P=0.541) between two groups. Conclusion: HCR provides favorable midterm outcomes for selected patients with two-vessel coronary artery disease with proximal left anterior descending stenosis. It might provide a promising alternative to OPCABG.

Objective:To investigate the effect of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on the secretion of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) and CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) by high glucose injured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), so as to lay a foundation for further study on AS-IV improving angiogenesis by regulating SDF-1 α/CXCR4 axis of endothelial cells.Methods:HUVECs were isolated and cultured from the umbilical vein of full-term healthy newborns and identified by von Willebrand factor (vWF) combined with 4-diamino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) nuclear staining. The obtained HUVECs was cultured in EGM-2 medium with 30 mmol/L glucose for 120 h to obtain high glucose damaged HUVECs. After intervention with different concentration gradients (25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 400 mg/L) AS-IV for 72 hours, the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method to determine the best concentration of AS-IV. The supernatant of damaged HUVECs were collected at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after intervention with the best concentration of AS-IV, and the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 were detected by ELISA method to determine the best action time of AS-IV. The damaged HUVECs was randomly divided into experimental group and control group, and the blank group was set up at the same time. The experimental group was treated with the best concentration of AS-IV and the best time, the control group and the blank group were treated with the same volume of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, and the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in each group were detected by ELISA method.Results:The vWF factor on the cell membrane was green fluorescence, and the nucleus was blue after DAPI staining. When the fusion image showed green fluorescence, HUVECs were identified by blue fluorescence. The expression of SDF-1α in damaged HUVECs was the best when treated with AS-IV of 100 mg/L for 24 hours (1 642.87 pg/ml), and the expression of CXCR4 in damaged HUVECs was the best when treated with AS-IV of 50 mg/L for 48 hours (8.44 ng/ml). Compared with the control group, the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the experimental group were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). While the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the experiment group were slightly less than those in the blank group and there was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:AS-IV can promote the expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in HUVECs damaged by high glucose to return to normal physiological level, so as to play the role of vascular repair and neovascularization.
