Objective To evalute the combination of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl in sedation during awake nasotracheal fiberoptic intubation. Methods One hundred and twenty ASAⅠ or Ⅱ patients scheduled to receive general anesthesia were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 40 in each group). Patients in group L received an infusion of 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine,patients in group H received an infusion of 2 μg/kg dexmedeto-midine ,and patients in group DF received an infusion of 1 μ g/kg dexmedetomidine added to 1 μ g/kg fentanyl. Nasotracheal intubation was performed after complete topical anesthesia. HR and MAP were recorded before anes-thesia(baseline,T0),before intubation(T1)and immediately after intubation(T2),respectively. The intubation score(vocal cord movement,coughing and limb movement),fiberoptic intubation score,nasotracheal intubation score and airway obstraction score were assessed in all aptients. On the first post-operative day,recall,adverse events and satisfaction score were also assessed. Results HR and MAP at T1 in three groups were significantly lower than those at T0(P < 0.05,respectively ). HR and MAP at T2 in group L were significantly higher than those in group H and DF(P<0.05,respectively). More incidence of vocal cord closed,severe cough,severe limb movement,heavy grimacing,defensive movement of head and hands after nasotracheal intubation were observed in group L than those in the other two groups. The incidence of airway obstraction and bradycardia in group H were higher than those in group L and DF. Patients in group L had lower postoperative satisfaction scores. Conclusion Adding 1 μg/kg fentanyl to 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine is a good method for awake nasotracheal fiberoptic intuba-tion,which can prevent the risk of airway obstruction associated with the increase of dexmedetomidine dose,with the achievement of the same favorable sedation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic anterior fundoplication by the MUSETM endoscopic stapling device in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods From March to November 2017,in the Department of Gastroenterology of Chinese PLA General Hospital in Beijing,The First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,thirteen GERD patients who underwent the endoscopic anterior fundoplication by the MUSETM system were enrolled.The GERD health related quality of life questionnaire (GERD-HRQL) score,satisfaction of symptomatic control,questionnaire for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD-Q) score,the degree of esophagitis,condition of gastroesophageal flap valve,medicine administration and side effects were compared before and after the operation.Paired t test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were performed for statistical analysis.Results The total GERD-HRQL score decreased from 23 points (14 to 36 points) before operation when proton pump inhibitor (PPI) was stopped for seven days to 3 points (0 to 21 points) at three months after operation and 1 point (0 to 18 points) at six months after operation;and the differences were statistically significant (Z=-3.111 and -3.183,both P＜0.01).Among 13 patients,the GERD-HRQL score of 11 patients decreased over 50 ％ after operation.The heartburn score decreased from 21 points (13 to 29 points) before operation when PPI was stopped for seven days to 0 point (0 to 17 points) at three months after operation and 0 point (0 to 16 points) at six months after operation;and the differences were statistically significant (Z=-3.113 and -3.182,both P＜0.01).Among 13 patients,assessment of symptom control at three months after operation of seven patients were satisfactory,four patients were mostly satisfactory and two patients were unsatisfactory;assessment of symptom control at six months after operation of nine patients were satisfactory,four patients were mostly satisfactory;and the satisfaction rate were both higher than that before operation,and the differences were statistically significant (x2=16.235 and 25.159,both P＜0.01).The total GERD-Q score reduced from 13 points (8 to 17 points) before operation to 6 points (3 to 11 points) at three months after operation and 6 points (6 to 13 points) at six months after operation (Z=-3.192 and-3.066,both P＜0.01).DeMeester score decreased from 38.40 points (20.20 to 255.30 points) to 11.10 points (1.10 to 46.20 points) at six months after operation;and the percent of total time of esophageal pH＜4 reduced from 10％ (5％ to 75％) to 3％ (0 to 13％) at six months after operation;the difference was statistically significant (Z=-3.181 and-3.180,both P=0.001).There was no significant difference in esophageal motility changes before and after treatment (all P ＞ 0.05).The number of patients without esophagitis increased from three before treatment to eight after treatment.Additionally,the number of patients whose gastroesophageal flap valve was less than grade Ⅱ increased from three before operation to 11 at six months after operation.The patients were followed up for six months,among 13 patients,10 patients were completely deprived of PPI,one patient was reduced over 50％,and two patients were treated with less than 50％ reduction.All 13 patients had mild tolerable abdominal pain and sore throat within 48 hours after operation.No other adverse reactions were observed.Conclusion The endoscopic anterior fundoplication by the MUSETM is a safe and effective treatment for GERD.

Endoscopic anterior fundoplication with the MUSE is an endoscopic therapy that combines ultrasound and endoscopic anti-reflux technology for moderate to severe gastroesophageal reflux disease.Training and learning procedures are required to obtain qualifications for this endoscopic therapy before clinical operations.At present,there is limited high-quality evidence-based medical evidence on MUSE treatment,and lack of expert consensus or guidance for training and the standard of MUSE therapy procedure.This consensus is based on the published literature,and formulated by experts with MUSE clinical experience in China,to provide guidance for the training and clinical standard operation of this technique.

A new electrochemical sensor for organophosphate pesticide(methyl-paraoxon)detection based on bifunctional cerium oxide(CeO2)nanozyme is here reported for the first time.Methyl-paraoxon was degraded into p-nitrophenol by using CeO2 with phosphatase mimicking activity.The CeO2 nanozyme-modified electrode was then synthesized to detect p-nitrophenol.Cyclic voltammetry was applied to investigate the electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode,which indicates that the signal enhancement effect may attribute to the coating of CeO2 nanozyme.The current research also studied and discussed the main parameters affecting the analytical signal,including accumulation potential,accumulation time,and pH.Under the optimum conditions,the present method provided a wider linear range from 0.1 to 100 μmol/L for methyl-paraoxon with a detection limit of 0.06 μmol/L.To validate the proof of concept,the electrochemical sensor was then successfully applied for the determination of methyl-paraoxon in three herb samples,i.e.,Coix lacryma-jobi,Adenophora stricta and Semen nelum-binis.Our findings may provide new insights into the application of bifunctional nanozyme in electro-chemical detection of organophosphorus pesticide.

Objective In order to simulate different angles of acetabular blocks that need to be adjusted during operation, the optimal angle was determined through analyzing the contact stress and contact area of cartilage around the hip joint, so as to provide an individual scheme for acetabular osteotomy. Methods The finite element models for development dysplasia of hip (DDH) and normal pelvis were established to investigate morphological characteristics of the acetabulum and the causes of stress concentration. To simulate osteotomy for the DDH model, a total of 20 postoperative osteotomy models were obtained through the combination of different angles for anterior rotation and lateral rotation of acetabular blocks, and the differences in optimal results of the models during simulated one legged-standing were compared and analyzed. Results The maximum contact pressure of acetabular cartilage in normal model was 7.85 MPa. The maximum contact pressure of acetabular cartilage in DDH model was 13.42 MPa. The optimal contact pressure after simulated osteotomy decreased to 8.49 MPa, and the contact distribution was improved more significantly. Conclusions Changing the anterior rotation angle can significantly improve the contact pressure distribution and size, as well as stay away from the preoperative lesion area, which has a positive impact on postoperative outcomes. Personalized osteotomy plan based on actual situation of each patient before the operation is crucial for the surgical effect.

Objective To study stress distributions of the cartilage around the hip joint in stress environment of complete gait cycle, and explore the optimal correction angle of bone block in curved periacetabular osteotomy (CPO), so as to provide theoretical references for clinical operation. Methods Based on CT scans from a healthy volunteer and a patient with development dysplasia of hip (DDH), the three-dimensional (3D) model including pelvis and proximal femur was reconstructed. The cortical bone and cancellous bone were distinguished by dividing the masks, and the material attributes were assigned to the finite element model. A total of 100 different postoperative models were obtained by simulating CPO in DDH model, by adjusting lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and anterior center edge angle (ACEA). According to hip joint stresses in complete gait cycle, the model was loaded respectively, and stress changes of normal, preoperative and postoperative acetabular cartilage were analyzed and compared. ResultsThe minimum peak contact stresses of acetabular cartilage of DDH patient at heel landing phase, start phase of single leg support, mid phase of single leg support, end phase of single leg support and double support phase after simulated CPO operation were 5.273, 6.128, 7.463, 6.347, 6.582 MPa, which were decreased by 2.159, 2.724, 2.249, 2.164, 2.119 MPa,respectively, compared with those before operation. The contact area between femoral head and acetabulum was significantly increased after operation, but it was still smaller than that of normal volunteers. Conclusions The optimal correction angle of LCEA and ACEA can be obtained by using finite element method, and the simulation of CPO surgery on different patients is of great significance to improve surgical accuracy and efficiency.

Objective To explore the influence of different model scopes on acetabular stress distribution and optimal osteotomy result in preoperative planning of Bernese acetabular osteotomy. Methods Two patients with hip dysplasia were established according to different model ranges. Model 1 included the affected hip and femur, and Model 2 included the complete pelvis and affected femur. Compare and analyze the acetabular cartilage contact pressure, area and distribution of the two models under single-leg standing conditions, and simulate osteotomy. Results Compared with Model 1 before surgery, Model 2 had higher contact pressure, smaller contact area and closer distribution to the meniscus edge of acetabulum. Compared with 11 postoperative plans, the variation amplitude of contact pressure and the optimal osteotomy angle for Model 1 were all smaller than those of Model 2. Conclusions The preoperative analysis result of the model with affected hip bone and femur would underestimate the degree of stress concentration and misjudge the location of stress concentration, and the obtained optimal osteotomy rotation angle would be relatively small. The research findings provide certain theoretical basis for preoperative planning and modeling of osteotomy.
