Objective To evaluate the desflurane-induced sympathetic activation with finger tip perfusion index (FTPl). Methods Forty-eight ASA ⅠorⅡ patients aged 25-60 yr undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=16 each): groupⅠsevoflurane; group Ⅱ desflurane and groupⅢ desthrane + propofol. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.03 mg/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg and fentanyl 2 μg/kg. Tracheal intubatian was facilitated with vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT 8-10 ml/kg, RR 12 bpm). PETCO2 was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg. In group ⅠandⅡanesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and desflurane respectively. The end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane and desflurane were rapidly increased to 0.5 MAC, 1.0 MAC and 1.5 MAC and maintained at each level for 5 rain. In group Ⅲanesthesia was maintained with TCI of propofol and destlurane. The target plasma prepofol concentration was set at 1 μg/ml and the end-tidal concentration was rapidly increased to 0.5 MAC and 1.0 MAC and maintained at each level for 5 mitt. MAP, HR, FTPI and BIS were continuously monitored and recorded at 5 rain after midazolam (T0), 3 rain after induction of anesthesia (T1), immediately after tracheal intubation (T2), as soon as the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane and desflurane reached 0.5 MAC(T3), 1.0 MAC(T5) and 1.5 MAC(T7) and after being maintained at 0.5 MAC (T4), 1.0 MAC (T6) and 1.5 MAC (T8) for5 rain. The plasma renin activity and the levels of angintonin Ⅱwere determined at T0, T1, T2, T5 and T7 by using radioimmuno-ssay. Results FTPI was significantly lower at T5 than at T4 in group Ⅱ HR and MAP were significantly lower at T4-6 and T8 and FTPI were significantly lower at T3～6 and T0 than at T7 in group Ⅱ. HR and MAP were significantlyhigher while FTPI was lower at T7 in groupⅡthan in group Ⅰ The changes in MAP and FTPI between T4 and T5 were significantly less in group Ⅲthan in group Ⅱ. The time when the highest value of FTPI was maintain was significantly shorter than the time when the highest values of HR and MAP were maintained at T5 and T7 in group ⅡΔFTPI was negatively correlated with ΔHR and ΔMAP (r=-0.593, P<0.05;r=-0.591, P<0.05). Conclusion FTPI can reflect the desflurane-induced sympathetic activation promptly and sensitively.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the antimicrobial activity of omadacycline (OMC) against clinical Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) isolates, as well as its relationship with biofilm formation, resistance genes and virulence genes. Methods　A total of 136 strains of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from Shenzhen Nanshan People's Hospital between 2015 to 2020. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of OMC against Streptococcus agalactiae was determined by broth microdilution. Crystal violet staining was used to detect the biofilm formation ability of GBS. Resistance genes (tetM, tetO, tetK, ermB, OptrA) and virulence genes (cpsⅢ, bca, fbsA, cpsA, scpB) were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results　Among the 136 clinical isolates of GBS, 20 strains (14.7%) were resistant to OMC, 64 (47.1%) were intermediate, and 52 (38.2%) were sensitive. Fifty-seven strains (41.9%) were biofilm-positive, 20 of which (35.1%) were sensitive to OMC. Seventy-nine strains (58.1%) were biofilm-negative, 32 of which (40.5%) were susceptible to OMC. There was a statistically significant difference in the sensitivity rates between the two groups of strains (χ2=63.062, P<0.001), but there was no significant difference in the sensitivity of OMC among the biofilm-positive strains (Fisher's exact test, P=0.824). The resistance rates of tetM, tetO, ermB and OptrA positive strains were higher than those of negative strains, while tetK was opposite. The presence of tetM (Z=0.815, P=0.415), tetO (Z=0.151, P=0.88), tetK (Z=0.567, P=0.571), ermB (Z=1.198, P=0.231) resistance genes in Streptococcus agalactiae had no significant impact on the sensitivity of OMC. However, the presence of the OptrA resistance gene showed a statistically significant effect on the sensitivity of OMC (Z=2.913, P=0.004). The virulence factors cpsⅢ, bca, fbsA, cpsA and scpB were all detected at a rate higher than 50%. The presence of the virulence genes cpsⅢ (Z=0.222, P=0.824), bca (Z=0.141, P=0.888), fbsA (Z=0.813, P=0.416), and cpsA (Z=1.615, P=0.106) in Streptococcus agalactiae had no significant impact on the sensitivity of OMC. However, there was a significant inter-group difference in the scpB virulence gene (Z=2.844, P=0.004), but the rank mean values and resistance rates of scpB-positive strains were lower than those of the negative strains. Conclusions　The formation of biofilm in Streptococcus agalactiae reduces its sensitivity to OMC, but there was no significant difference in the sensitivity to OMC among the biofilm-positive strains. The presence of resistance genes tetM, tetO, tetK, ermB, and virulence genes cpsⅢ, bca, fbsA, cpsA, scpB in Streptococcus agalactiae is not associated with OMC resistance, but the presence of the resistance gene OptrA is correlated with OMC resistance..

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of propofol on the expression of thrombospondin-1 (THBS-1) mRNA and protein in purified newborn rat cortical astrocytes in vitro.

METHODSAstrocytes were isolated from newborn rat cortex and grown in culture before exposure to propofol at 3, 10, 30, 100 or 300 µmol/L for 6 h, 12, or 24 h. The mRNA level of THBS-1 was detected by RT-PCR, and the protein level of THBS-1 was detected by immunofluorescence cytochemistry and Western blotting.

RESULTSPropofol exposure caused significantly upregulated THBS-1 level in cultured astrocytes (P<0.05) to a level about 1.3 times higher than that in control cells. The mRNA and protein levels of THBS-1 in cultured rat cortical astrocytes were upregulated by exposures to 10, 30 and 100 µmol/L propofol (P<0.01). High expression of THBS-1 mRNA and protein was detected in the cells with exposures for different durations (P<0.05), especially in the 12 h group (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONPropofol at clinically relevant concentrations can modulate the level of THBS-1 secreted by astrocytes of rat cerebral cortex in vitro.

Objective:To prepare specific molecular probe 18F-AlF-1, 4, 7-triazacylononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid-(polyethylene glycol) 4-ZD2 ( 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2) for targeting extradomain-B fibronectin (EDB-FN), and evaluate its properties in vitro and in vivo. Methods:18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 was prepared by one-step chelation labeling with Al 18F. The radiochemical purity and in vitro stability were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The partition coefficient (logP) of 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 was evaluated, and the cell uptake experiment was carried out (triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cells (1×10 6/tube) were divided into 3 groups ( n=3 per group); positive group, inhibition group, control group). MicroPET imaging was performed on MDA-MB-231 bearing nude mice ( n=3) after 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 injection (30, 60, 90, 120 min) and compared with blocking group ( n=3, NOTA-PEG 4-ZQ 2 was preinjected at 0.5 h before 18F-AIF-NOTA-PEG a-ZD2 injection). Independent-sample t test was used to analyze the data. Results:18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 was successfully prepared. The optimized radiochemical yield was (33.8±2.1)% (undecay corrected, n=8) and the radiochemical purity was >96%. After incubating 120 min at 37 ℃, the radiochemical purity of 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 in human serum and PBS was >93%, indicating its good stability in vitro. The specific activity was (11.1±3.2) GBq/μmol, and logP was -1.43±0.05. The uptake value of tumor cells was (1.77±0.28) percentage applied activity (%AR)/10 6 cells at 120 min post-injection in positive group, and the total uptake value of the inhibition group was (0.76±0.07) %AR/10 6 cells ( t=4.30, P=0.032). MicroPET imaging in tumor bearing nude mice showed that 18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 was mainly metabolized by the liver and kidneys. The tumor uptake value was (1.94±0.21) percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) at 60 min post-injection and the tumor/muscle ratio was 3.80±0.25 at 90 min post-injection in the experimental group, while the tumor uptake value of tumor bearing nude mice in the blocking group was (0.43±0.09) %ID/g at 60 min post-injection ( t=3.18, P=0.006). Conclusions:18F-AlF-NOTA-PEG 4-ZD2 can be prepared simply with high labeling rate and good stability in vitro, with high tumor uptake and tumor/muscle ratio in microPET imaging, and good specificity and long tumor residence time. The probe has good application prospect in breast cancer with high expression of fibronectin subtype EDB-FN.
