OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of episodic hypoxia(EHYP) on liver CYP3A2 and CYP2E1. METHODS: Healthy masculinity rats were divided randomly into five groups: control group, 3 -day EHYP group, 7 -day EHYP group, 14 -day EHYP group, and 28 -day EHYP group. 24 h after the management of EHYP, the rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection, and the eyeball blood 2ml was drawn to prepare serum. The activities of ALT and AST in the serum were determined by enzymatic methods. The activities of liver microsomal erythromycin demethylase(ERD) and aniline hydroxylase(ANH) were detected by spectrophotography. The levels of mRNA expression of CYP3A2,CYP2E1 were assayed with RT-PCR. RESULTS: The serum activities of ALT,AST showed no remarkable change. However, after 7 days of hypoxia, ERD and ANH activities were remarkably elevated, and at 28 days induction rates reached up to155.5% and 42.2%, respectively. Meanwhile, the levels of mRNA expression of CYP3A2,CYP2E1 also increased by 220.5% and 102.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Chronic EHYP can remarkably increase the activities of ERD and ANH, whose mechanism is probably related to up-regulating of CYP3A2 and CYP2E1 expression at the transcriptive level.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between hematopoietic cell kinase (HCK) and the expression level of the mitochondrial ribosomal protein L13 (MRPL13) and hematopoietic multimode ultrasound.Methods:204 female breast cancer patients treated by surgery in Quzhou people’s Hospital from Jan. 2017 to Sep. 2020 were selected as study subjects. Breast cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were extracted intraoperatively. Preoperative conventional ultrasound, shear wave elastography (SWE) and contrast-enhanced Ultrasonography (CEUS) were used to detect HCK and MRPL13 expression levels. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation between multi-mode ultrasonic features and HCK and MRPL13.Results:The positive expression ratios of HCK and MRPL 13 in breast cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in adjacent tissues ( χ2 was 5.625, 7.197; P was 0.018, 0.007) . In conventional ultrasound features, the proportions of HCK-positive breast cancer patients with irregular mass edges, microcalcifications, and grade II to III blood flow classification were significantly higher than those of HCK-negative patients ( χ2 was 7.437, 16.684, 23.262; P was 0.006, <0.001, <0.001) ; The proportion of MRPL13-positive breast cancer patients with a maximum diameter of ≥2 cm, irregular edges of the tumor, and grade II-III blood flow classification was significantly higher than that of MRPL13-negative patients ( χ2 was 4.676, 11.118, 8.389; P was 0.031, 0.001, 0.004) . For SWE signs, the proportion of HCK positive breast cancer patients with hard ring sign was significantly higher than that of HCK negative patients ( χ2=11.220, P=0.001) ; the proportion of MRPL13 positive breast cancer patients with hard ring sign and black hole sign was significantly higher than that of MRPL13. Those who were negative ( χ2 was 4.482, 8.775; P was 0.034, 0.003) . Among CEUS characteristics, the proportion of HCK-positive patients with high enhancement was significantly higher than that of HCK-negative patients ( χ2=7.356, P=0.007) ; the proportion of MRPL13-positive patients with high enhancement and late regression was significantly higher than that of MRPL13-negative patients ( χ2 was 9.165, 7.631; P was 0.002, 0.006) . The results of binary logistic analysis showed that there was microcalcification ( OR=4.619, 95% CI=2.657-8.119, P=0.009) , blood flow classification II to III ( OR=4.150, 95% CI=2.547-7.954, P=0.015) and high enhancement of CEUS ( OR=4.150, 95% CI=2.547-7.954, P=0.015) are independent risk factors for positive expression of HCK; blood flow grade II to grade III ( OR=4.213, 95% CI=3.145-8.557, P=0.012) , appearance of black hole sign ( OR=5.246, 95% CI=2.864-10.378, P<0.001) and high enhancement of CEUS ( OR=3.872, 95% CI=1.887~6.438, P=0.026) were the independent risk factors for the positive expression of MRPL13. Conclusion:The multimodal ultrasonographic features of breast cancer are helpful to predict the expression levels of HCK and MRPL13, so as to provide new imaging ideas for early diagnosis of breast cancer, the designation of treatment options and the preoperative non-invasive assessment of breast cancer prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on brachial plexus block with ropivacaine and upper extremity ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in patients undergoing upper extremity surgery. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged 18-55 yr, weighing 45-80 kg, scheduled forupper extremity surgery under brachial plexus block, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): control group ( group C )and dexmedtomidine group (group D). In group C, brachial plexus block was performed using 0.5% ropivacaine 30 ml. In group D, brachial plexus block was performed with a mixture (30 ml) of 0.5% ropivacaine and 8 mg dexmedetomidine. The efficacy of motor and sensory block was evaluated and the onset time and duration of motor and sensory block were recorded. Venous blood samples were obtained from peripheral vein on the operated side before anesthesia induction (T0), and at 1, 5 and 30 min after tourniquet release (T1-3) to detect the plasma concentrations of MDA and ischemia-modified albumi (IMA). Arterial blood samples were also obtained at the same time points for blood gas analysis. The complications such as nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, bradycardia and dizziness were recorded. Sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg was given as rescue medication. If the operation could not be completed, general anesthesia was used. Results There was no requirement for rescue analgesics and general anesthesia, and no complications occurred in all the patients. The duration of sensory and motor block was significantly longer, the plasma concentrations of MDA and IMA were significantly lower, and PaO2 and BE were significantly higher in group D than in group C ( P < 0.05). The plasma concentrations of MDA and IMA were significantly higher at T2 and T3 in both groups, the pH value was significantly lower at T1 in group C, PaO2 at T1 and BE at T1 and T2 were significantly lower in both groups than those at T0 ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can not only enhance the efficacy of brachial plexus block with ropivacaine, but also reduce the upper extremity I/R injury caused by tourniquet in patients undergoing upper extremity surgery.
