Objective To observe the effects of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride on the cisatracurium-induced neuromuscular blockade in geriatric, young and middle-aged patients. Methods Forty elderly patients and forty young and middle-aged patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=20 each):elderly dexmedetomidine hydrochloride group (group DE),elderly control group (group CE),young and middle-aged dexmedetomidine group (group DY) and young and middle-aged control group (group CY).In groups DE and DY,a loading dose of 0.5 μg?kg-1 dexmedetomidine was intravenously infused over 10 min before induction of anesthesia,respectively,followed by infusion at a rate of 0.4μg?kg-1?h-1 until the end of surgery.Equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride was given in groups CE and CY.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,propofol and cisatracurium 0.15 mg?kg-1.Four groups were maintained with infusion of propofol and remifentanil. Neuromuscular blockade was maintained with continuous cisatracurium infusion in the four groups and was monitored with TOF-Watch SX acceleromyography at the adductor pollicis.The onset time,TOF no reaction period,duration of action,the amount of cisatracurium consumption,and the spontaneous recovery index ( T1 25% to 75%) were recorded. Results The four groups were comparable in the demographic data.Intubation conditions,the onset time and recovery index were not significantly different among the four groups. The duration of blockade action in groups DE and DY was ( 61. 1 ± 8.9) min and (53.6±9.3) min,which was significantly longer than that in group CE [(49.9±5.8) min] and group CY [(44.8± 6.4) min] (P<0.01).The duration of blockade action was significantly longer in groups DE and CE than in groups DY and CY (P<0.05).The amount of cisatracurium consumption in groups CE and CY was significantly higher than that in groups DE and DY (P<0.05). Conclusion The neuromuscular blockade is longer and the requirement of cisatracurium is less in elderly patients than in young and middle-aged patients.Continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride can't accelerate the onset time of cisatracurium.But duration of action is prolonged and the amount of cisatracurium consumption is lower in patients with infusion of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride.

Objective The purpose of study was to investigate the differences in the value of urine acute kidney injury ( AKI) biomarkers in the diagnosis and prognosis of AKI in patients with or without acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS ) . Methods We collected the clinical data about 304 ICU patients, in-cluding 105 ARDS (49 in the lungs and 48 outside the lungs) and 199 non-ARDS cases.Using ELISA, we determined the levels of uN-GAL, uL-FABP, uKIM-1, and uIL-18 in the first 48 hours, compared the clinical data and AKI biomarkers between different groups of patients.We analyzed the differences in the diagnostic value of the AKI biomarkers using the ROC curve and their value in predicting hospital mortality by logistic regression analysis. Results Compared with the patients without AKI, the AKI cases exhibited a signif-icantly increased level of uKIM-1 (1.02 [0.57, 3.01] vs 4.68 [54.74, 270.54], P=0.000) in the ARDS group and that of uL-FABP in the non-ARDS group (102.69 [37.98, 348.09] vs 53.52 [10.86, 141.39], P=0.009).In the ARDS group, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the combined efficiency of the four AKI biomarkers was 0.81 (95% CI 0.70-0.92), markedly higher than that of uNGAL (0.57 [95%CI 0.43-0.70]), uL-FABP (0.55 [95%CI 0.39-0.71]), and uIL-18 (0.56 [95%CI 0.40-0.72]) alone (P<0.05), so was the AUC for the combined efficiency of the four biomarkers than that of each biomarker alone in the patients with ARDS in or outside the lungs (P<0.05).The OR value of uKIM-1 for predicting hospital mortality was 1.529 (95%CI 1.148-2.036) in the ARDS group, 1.593 (95%CI 1.070-2.369) in the patients with ARDS in the lungs, and 1.512 (95%CI 1.005-2.274) in those with ARDS outside the lungs. Conclusion There were differences of diagnostic and predictive value of Urine AKI biomarkers have different values in the diagnosis and prognosis of AKI in ARDS and non-ARDS patients and in those with ARDS in or outside the lungs.

Chromium is a harmful contaminant showing mutagenicity and carcinogenicity.Therefore,detection of chromium requires the development of low-cost and high-sensitivity sensors.Herein,blue-fluorescent carbon quantum dots were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method from alkali-soluble Poria cocos polysaccharide,which is green source,cheap and easy to obtain,and has no pharmacological ac-tivity due to low water solubility.These carbon quantum dots exhibit good fluorescence stability,water solubility,anti-interference and low cytotoxicity,and can be specifically combined with the detection of Cr(Ⅵ)to form a non-fluorescent complex that causes fluorescence quenching,so they can be used as a label-free nanosensor.High-sensitivity detection of Cr(Ⅵ)was achieved through internal filtering and static quenching effects.The fluorescence quenching degree of carbon dots fluorescent probe showed a good linear relationship with Cr(Ⅵ)concentration in the range of 1-100 μM.The linear equation was F0/F=0.9942+0.01472[Cr(Ⅵ)](R2=0.9922),and the detection limit can be as low as 0.25 μM(S/N=3),which has been successfully applied to Cr(Ⅵ)detection in actual water samples herein.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, accuracy and its clinical value of MRI-guided needle biopsy of lung lesions. Methods A total of 137 patients with pulmonary nodules or masses underwent lung biopsy in low-field open MRI equipped with iPath 200 optical tracking systems. Among them, 103 cases had solitary pulmonary lesion; the other 34 cases had multiple foci. The maximum diameter of the lesion was not smaller than 3.5 cm ( ≥ 3.5 cm) in 57 patients, between 1.5 cm and 3.4 cm( 1.5-3.4 cm) in 71 patients, not greater than 1.4 cm ( ≤ 1.4 cm) in 9 patients. Results The puncture success rate was 100.0% (57/57) for lesions ≥3.5 cm, 98.6% (70/71) for lesions 1.5-3.4 cm,77.8% (7/9) for lesions ≤1.4 cm and 97. 8% (134/137) for total cases, respectively. According to the pathological results, pulmonary lesions were malignant in 98 cases and benign in 39 cases. The sensitivity,specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of MRI-guided lung biopsy were 94.2%(98/104), 100.0% (33/33), 95.6% (131/137), 100.0% (98/98) and 84.6% (33/39),respectively. Conclusion MRI-guided needle biopsy of lung lesion can be performed precisely in a lowfield open MRI with a low risk of complications. As a supplement to US or CT-guided biopsy, it is worth further promotion and application.

Objective To observe the effect of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane blockon median effective dose of sufentanil in pediatric postoperative analgesia. Methods Forty-fivepediatric patients under-going elective hernia repairsurgery were randomly divided into two groups:group Rop and group Sal. Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane blocks were performed on both groups after general anesthesia induction before the start of surgery. Group Rop received 0.3 mL/kg of 0.25%ropivacaine,and group Sal received 0.3 mL/kg of 0.9%saline. Patient controlled intravenous analgesia pump within sufentanil was used in both groups after operation. Used the sequential method to determine the median effective dose of sufentanil ,recorded the times of the pressing self-control analgesia within 6h after operation,the use of sufentanil,postoperative pediatric pain(FLACC)score and adverse reactions. Results 1. The median effective dose of sufentanil in group Rop was lower than group Sal (0.0259 μg/(kg · h)vs 0.0379 μg/(kg · h)). 2.The times of the pressing self-control analgesia within 6 h after operation and the use of sufentanil in group Rop were less than in group Sal. 3.The postoperative FLACC score at different points in group Rop was lower than in group Sal(P < 0.05). 4.There were no significant difference(P >0.05)in incidence of adverse reactions in both groups. Conclusion The ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block in pediatric lower abdominal surgery can effectively reduce the median effective dose of sufentanil.

Objective:To explore any effect of following an individualized exercise program on the cardio-pulmonary health of elderly persons with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:A total of 120 elderly COPD patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, each of 60. Both groups were given medication and routine rehabilitation treatment for 3 months, but the experimental group also followed an individualized exercise program based on the cardiopulmonary exercise test. Before and after the treatment, Borg scoring was used to assess the subjects′ degree of dyspnea. Forced expiratory volume (FEV 1), forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2max), anaerobic threshold (AT), heart rate (HR) and a heart index (CI) were also recorded. The 6-minute walk test (6 MWD) was administered to evaluate the rehabilitation effect. Results:There were no significant differences in the average Borg scores, cardiopulmonary function indexes or 6MWD distances between the two groups before treatment. After the treatment significant improvement was observed in all of the measurements in both groups, but at that point all of the experimental group′s averages were better than those of the control group.Conclusion:Individualized exercise based on the cardiopulmonary exercise test can alleviate the symptoms of dyspnea in elderly COPD patients, improve their cardiopulmonary functioning and exercise endurance and improve the rehabilitation effect.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of the interaction between miR-9-5p and tissue metalloproteinase inhibitor 2(TIMP2)on autophagy and apoptosis in multiple myeloma(MM)cells.Methods Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect expression levels of miR-9-5p and TIMP2 in bone marrow samples of 9 patients with newly diagnosed MM and 9 patients with recurrent MM.The correlation of expression levels between the two were analyzed.U266 cells were divided into the miR-control group,the miR-9-5p group,the pcDNA3.1 group,the pcDNA3.1-TIMP2 group,the miR-9-5p+pcDNA3.1 group,and the miR-9-5p+pcDNA3.1-TIMP2 group.The effects of overexpressed miR-9-5p and TIMP2 on autophagy and apoptosis in U266 cells were detected by flow cytometry,immunofluorescence staining and Western blot experiments.The dual luciferase report experiment verified the interaction between miR-9-5p and TIMP2.Results Compared with newly diagnosed MM patients,the expression level of miR-9-5p was increased and the expression level of TIMP2 was decreased in patients with recurrent MM.The expression levels of miR-9-5p and TIMP2 were negatively correlated(P<0.05).Compared with the miR-control group,the miR-9-5p group showed a decrease in the expression level of MAP1LC3B-Ⅱ,an increase in expression levels of MAP1LC3B-Ⅰ and SQSTM1,and a decrease in cell apoptosis rate(P<0.05).Compared with the pcDNA3.1 group,the expression level of MAP1LC3B-Ⅱ was increased in the pcDNA3.1-TIMP2 group,while the expression levels of MAP1LC3B-Ⅰ and SQSTM1 were decreased,and the apoptosis rate of cells increased(P<0.05).Bioinformatics and dual luciferase reporter experiments confirmed that TIMP2 was the target gene of miR-9-5p.Conclusion miR-9-5p inhibits autophagy and apoptosis in MM cells by targeting TIMP2,thereby promoting the occurrence and development of MM.
