Objective To explore the instructive value of preoperative splenic artery CTA examination on Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS). Methods From January 2008 to February 2010,36 cases requiring Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) were selected randomly and divided into two groups: CTA group and non-CTA group, 18 cases in each group. As for the CTA group,splenic artery CTA examination was performed before operation,to understand splenic artery and its branches anatomy type and track and then individualized surgical treatment was developed. As for the non-CTA group,a routine surgical procedure was performed. The indices before and during the operation were recorded and compared through χ2 test The operating time and the amount of bleeding in the two groups were compared using t-test Results There were no significant difference between the indices recorded by splenic artery CTA examination and those by laparoscopic splenectomy intraoperation ( P > 0. 05 ) . The operating time was (124. 32 ±21.43) mins in the CTA group, which was significantly shorter than that in the non-CTA group ((148.27 ±28. 36)mins) (P <0. 05). The amount of blood in the CTA group was significantly less than that in the non-CTA group( ( 80. 50 ± 16. 42) ml vs. (101. 35 ± 26.25 ) ml). Conclusions Splenic artery CTA can identify splenic artery and its branches anatomy type and track before LS,therefore guide the development of individualized surgical treatment It increases the safety of LS, reduces bleeding and shortens the operational time. It has an instrutive value to laparoscopic splenectomy.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for moderate-to-severe pain in postanesthesia care unit (PACU) in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery.Methods:The medical records of patients of both sexes, aged 18-80 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ, transferred to PACU with tracheal intubation from January 2019 to January 2020, were retrospectively collected.Combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia was used during surgery.The patient′s age, gender, ASA physical status, smoking history, drinking history, history of non-thoracic surgery, history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, and history of immune system disease were collected.The operation method, type of operation, operation time, intraoperative nerve block and use of opioids and dexmedetomidine were also collected.The consumption of rescue analgesics during PACU, occurrence of nausea and vomiting, and length of stay in PACU were also collected.Patients were divided into moderate-to-severe pain group (VAS score>3 points) and non-moderate-to-severe pain group (VAS score≤3 points) according to the VAS scores at rest and during activity at 10 min after extubation in PACU.Logistic regression analysis was used to identity the risk factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU.Results:A total of 1 698 patients were included in this study, the incidence of moderate-to-severe pain at rest was 46.70%, and the incidence of moderate-to-severe pain during activity was 54.12%.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that female, radical resection of esophageal cancer, mediastinal surgery, internal fixation for rib/sternal surgery were risk factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU, and increasing age, endoscopic surgery, intraoperative use of nerve block and dexmedetomidine were protective factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Female, radical resection of esophageal cancer, mediastinal surgery, and rib/sternal surgery are risk factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery; increasing age, endoscopic surgery, intraoperative use of nerve block and dexmedetomidine are protective factors for moderate-to-severe pain in PACU in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Objective To study the effect of fluoride on bone metabolism in rats, and to understand the mechanism of pathogenesis of skeletal fluorosis. Methods A total of 80 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups that included control group (distilled water), low-dose group(NaF, 50 mg/L), medium-dose group (NaF,100 mg/L) and high-dose group(NaF, 150 mg/L), respectively. After being bred for 12 weeks, the rats were put to death (etherization). Incidence of dental fluorosis was estimated, and serum was collected. Radioimmunoassay was employed to detect the levels of osteocalcin (BGP), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin (CT), respectively.Colorimetry method was employed to determine the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and acid phosphatase (ACP). Results Incidence of dental fluorosis between the four groups was significantly different statistically(x2 =82.81 ,P ＜ 0.01 ). The incidence was significantly different(x2 = 22.67, 40.00, 40.00, all P＜ 0.01 ) between low-dose ( 80%, 16/20), medium-dose ( 100%, 20/20), high-dose groups ( 100%, 20/20) and control group (0,0/20),respectively. Serum levels of BGP, PTH, CT were significantly different between the groups(F = 38.614, 20.778,3.023, P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference between the four.groups of ALP and ACP in serum (F = 0.609,2.895, all P ＞ 0.05 ). Serum BGP in low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups[ ( 19.60 ± 12.79),(33.41 ± 10.81 ), (39.46 ± 9.51 )mg/L, respectively] was significantly higher than that of the control group[ (7.35 ± 3.22)mg/L, all P ＜ 0.01 ]. Serum PTH in low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups[ (72.27 ± 25.38), (67.80 ± 12.01), (106.52 ± 36.37)pmol/L] was significantly higher than that of the control group[(47.08 ± 9.22)pmol/L,all P ＜ 0.01 ]. Serum PTH of the high-dose group was significantly higher than that of the low-dose and the mediumdose groups(all P ＜ 0.01 ). Serum CT in medium-dose and high-dose groups[ ( 13.39 ± 2.07), ( 15.05 ± 4.77)pmol/L ] was significantly lower than that of the control group[ (26.06 ± 28.31 ) pmol/L, all P ＜ 0.05 ] and also significantly lower than that of the low-dose group [ (24.49 ± 14. 10) pmol/L, all P ＜ 0.05 ]. Conclusions Fluoride affects bone metabolism in rats, BGP, PTH and CT play a key role in the pathogenesis of skeletal fluorosis.

Objective To explore the relationship between left atrial diameters (LAD) and prothrombotic state in senile patients with hypertension (HT) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Mcthods Totally 105 patients with cssential hypertension were divided into 65 patients with atrial fibrillation and 40 cases without atrial fibrillation,and then patients with atrial fibrillation were subgrouped into paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation groups.30 healthy people without hypertension and atrial fibrillation were used as control group.LAD was determined by M type ultrasound cardiogram.Fibrinogen (Fg),D-Dimer(D-Dimer),von willebrand (vwF) and haematocrit (HCT) were also measured as prothrombotic state and compared among the groups. Results In groups of HT with AF versus HT without AF versus control,LAD[(43.56 ± 6.72) mm vs.(36.28 ± 5.83) mm vs.(31.63±4.32)mm],Fg[(4.24±0.59)g/L vs.(3.09 ±0.49)g/L vs.(2.80± 0.46)g/L],D-Dimer [(0.43±0.13)mg/L vs.(0.28±0.]0)mg/L vs.(0.18±0.08)mg/L],vwF[(290.44±29.02)％ vs.(101.32±21.36)％ vs.(84.15±20.26) ％],HCT[(0.46±±0.07)vs.(0.37±0.05)vs.(0.34±0.03)]were significantly higher in HT patients with atrial fibrillation than those without atrial fibrillation and control ( all P＜ 0.05),and there were differences in LAD and D-Dimet (P＜＜0.05),but not in Fg,vwF and HCT (all P＞0.05) between patients without atrial fibrillation and control.LAD[(46.75±7.32)mm vs.(40.82±6.21)mm],Fg [(4.68±0.65)g/L vs.(3.85±0.53)g/L],D-Dimer [(0.48±0.16)mg/L vs.(0.40±0.12)mg/L],vwF [(384.96±29.75)％ vs.(209.43±28.63)％] and HCT [(0.49±0.08)vs.(0.43±0.06)] in persistent atrial fibrillation group were increased than those in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Fg ( r =0.683 ),D-Dimer ( r =0.735 ),vwF ( r=0.763) and HCT(r=0.759)were corrclated with LAD (all P＜0.01). Conclusions Increased LADmight he one of the elevated risks of atrial fibrillation and a higher prothrombotic state is increasing with larger LAD in senile hypertension.
