Objective To analyze the effects of different age and gender on the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of the target controlled infusion of atracurium besylate on liver dysfunction.Methods 160 case of patients with liver dysfunction and undergoing elective general anesthesia operation were divided into four groups according to their age and gender, 40 cases in each group:group A (age≥65 years old, male), group B (age≥65 years old, female), group C (age<65 years old, male), group D (age<65 years old, female).The patients received one-time double dose ED95 atracurium besylate, pharmacodynamic indexes and pharmacokinetic parameters were compared.Results The four groups of patients with block onset time, block maintenance time, clinical duration of T25%, in vivo role time T95%, muscle relaxation recovery index were compared, the difference was not statistically significant.The preoperative and postoperative 24h, four groups of patients with liver function ( alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, bilirubin) and renal function ( creatinine, urea nitrogen) were compared, the difference was not statistically significant.There was no significant difference between the four groups in the plasma concentrations of the substance to be measured, the peak time, the area under the curve and the elimination half lives.Conclusion For the patients with liver dysfunction, the target controlled infusion of atracurium besylate in general anesthesia operation, gender and age were not considered.

Objective To investigate the timing of early naso-jejunum nutritional support on severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) patients and its feasibility and safety. Methods 72 patients with SAP were enrolled and randomized into experiment group and control group according to random number. EN (enteral nutrition) was administrated in the experiment group when the patients' circulation were relatively stable, abdominal distention decreased and the bowel sound could be heard; while EN was administrated in the control group when the patients' vital signs were stable, and peristalsis recovered with exhaust and sense of hunger, without obvious abdominal distention. The cultivation of secretions, hospital stay and overall cost of hospitalization were evaluated in the two groups of patients. Results The throat swabs, sputum culture, mid-portion urine culture of the two group were not significantly different. But the fecal culture in the experiment group was significantly lower than those of the control group (5.6% vs. 33.3%, P ＜ 0. 01); the hospital stay and overall cost of hospitalization in the experiment group was (26.0 ± 15.2)d and (78910 ± 77734)Yuan, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(32.9 ± 22.3) d and (149528 ± 145936) Yuan, P ＜0.05]. Conclusions Appropriately bringing forward EN is safe and feasible, which can shorten clinical course and reduce the cost of hospitalization.

Objective To observe the incidence of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in obese acute pancreatitis (AP) patients with medical treatment, and evaluate the impact of obesity in AP progression.Methods A multicenter prospective controlled study was conducted. APACHE Ⅱ scoring system was used to evaluate the severity of AP. Results 161 patients with mild AP(MAP) were enrolled, according to the cut-off point of 25 kg/m2, these patient were divided into obese group (79 patients) and non-obese group (82patients). The levels of CRP, hypertriacylglycerolemia, complication rate, incidence of SAP and mortality were observed under the circumstance of identical medical treatment. The levels of CRP in obese group and non-obese group were (117±109 ) mg/L and (35±36 ) mg/L(P<0.01). The number of obese patients with hypertriacylglycerolemia was two times as many as that in non-obese patients, but there was no significantly difference. There was no local complication in both groups, but the incidence of systematic complication in obese patients (20.3%) was significantly higher than that in non-obese group (6.1%, P<0.01). 16patients (20.3%) in obese group progressed into SAP, which was significantly higher than that in non-obese group (5 patients, 6.1%, P<0.01). One patient(1.3%) died in obese group, but no one died in non-obese group. In MAP patients with APACHE Ⅱ 4～7 points, the incidence of SAP (43.3%) in obese group was significantly higher than that in non-obese group (18.5%, P<0.05). Conclusions Obese MAP patients with APACHE Ⅱ 4～7 points were prone to develop into SAP. More aggressive interventions are needed.

Objective To evaluate the optimum compatibility of nabufine mixed with flurbiprofen for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods A total of 210 patients,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia,were divided into 4 groups using a random number table method:sufentanil 2.0 μg/kg+flurbiprofen axetil 2.0 mg/kg group (SF group,n =55),nalbuphine 1.5 mg/kg+flurbiprofen axetil 2.0 mg/kg group (N1 F group,n=49),nalbuphine 2.0 mg/kg+flurbiprofen axetil 2.0 mg/kg group (N2F group,n =55) and nalbuphine 3.0 mg/kg +flurbiprofen axetil 2.0 mg/kg group (N3F group,n=51).PCIA solution was prepared correspondingly after surgery in each group.The PCA pump was set up to deliver a 1 ml bolus dose with a 15-min lockout interval and background infusion at 2.0 ml/h.Nalbuphine 5 mg or sufentanil 5 μg was intravenously injected as a rescue analgesic to maintain visual analogue scale score at rest ＜4 at 48 h after surgery in SF and N1 F-N3F groups.Ramsay sedation scores were recorded on admission to post-anesthesia care unit (T1),at the time of post-anesthesia care unit discharge (T2) and at 6,24 and 48 h after surgery (T3-5).The total pressing times of PCIA in 0-6 h,6-24 h and 24-48 h periods after surgery and requirement for rescue analgesics were recorded.The incidence of adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting,drowsiness and shivering within 48 h after surgery was also recorded.Results Compared with group SF,the incidence of nausea and vomiting was significantly decreased in N1 F and N2F groups,the requirement for rescue analgesics was significantly decreased,and the total pressing times of PCIA was reduced in N2F and N3 F groups,and Ramsay sedation scores at T3,4 were significantly increased in group N3F (P＜0.05).Compared with group N1 F,the requirement for rescue analgesics was significantly decreased,and the total pressing times of PCIA was reduced in N2F and N3F groups,and the incidence of nausea and vomiting and Ramsay sedation scores at T3,4 were significantly increased in group N3F (P＜0.05).Compared with group N2F,the incidence of nausea and vomiting was significantly increased (P＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the requirement for rescue analgesics,total pressing times of PCIA or Ramsay sedation scores in group N3F (P＞0.05).Conclusion Nabufine 2.0 mg/kg mixed with flurbiprofen 2.0 mg/kg is the optimum compatibility when used for PCIA after gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of therapeutic ERCP for patients above 90 years of age.Methods The data of 37 patients of above 90 years who underwent 42 ERCP procedures from January 2001 to December 2009 were studied retrospectively and compared with those of 152 matched patients ( 168 procedures) below 65 years old at a 1∶4 ratio for success rate and complications.Results The rate of complete success,partial success,and failure in observation group was 73.81％ (31/42),19.05％(8/42) and 2.38％ (1/42),respectively,which were similar (P ＞0.05) with those in control group,with complete success rate at 85.12％ ( 143/168),partial success rate at 12.50％ (21/168) and failure rate at 2.38％ (4/168).The rate of terminated operation in observation group (4.76％,2/42) was significantly higher than that of the control group (0.00％,0,P =0.039).The overall rate of complication in observation group was 7.14％ ( 3/42 ),slightly higher than that of the control group ( 6.55％,11/168,P ＞0.05 ).There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the rates and severity of such complications as pancreatitis,hemorrhage and infection ( P ＞ 0.05 ).No perforation or death was observed.Conclusion Therapeutic ERCP for patients of 90 years or older is safe and effective.Adverse events related to chronic concomitant diseases need early detection and proper management.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and prognosis of emergent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and to provide standardized procedural suggestion for the development of emergent TAVR in China.Methods:From January 2020 to April 2021, 12 patients who underwent emergent or salvage TAVR in the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively enrolled from the TORCH registry (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Single Center Registry in Chinese Population, a prospective cohort study; NCT02803294). Baseline, periprocedural and 30-day follow up data were collected. Post-operative data were compared with pre-operative data using Paired-Samples test.Results:Patients’ median Society of Thoracic Surgeons score (STS score) was 15.432%. There was a significant decrease of mean gradient after emergent TAVR procedure (1.69 m/s vs. 4.90 m/s, P<0.01). During the 30-day follow up, there were 1 patient (8.3%) died and 2 patients received permanent pacemaker implantation. No disabling stroke, acute kidney injury, major vascular complication occurred during the first month after emergent TAVR. Among the survival patients, there was a significant releasing of heart failure symptoms to New York Heart Association function stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ in 81.8% patients at 30-day follow up. Left ventricular ejection fraction also improved significantly from (47.4±9.5)% to 58.8±8.0% ( P= 0.026). The mean gradient were (1.57±0.30) cm 2 and no patients had a moderate or severe paravalvular leakage. Besides, a significant decrease of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (1 089.9 pg/mL vs. 12 215.5 pg/mL , P=0.001) and troponin T (0.020 ng/mL vs. 0.337 ng/mL, P=0.003) were found at 30 days after emergent TAVR. Conclusions:For patients with severe aortic stenosis and acute cardiac decompensated, emergent TAVR is a safe and effective rescue treatment.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of acupuncture on mRNA of the neurotransmitter serotonin transporter (5-HTT), 5-HTreceptor (5-HTR), norepinephrineα2 receptor (NEαR) in brain tissue in rats with post-stroke depression.

METHODSForty male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a medication group and an acupuncture group, 10 rats in each one. The model of post-stroke depression was established by occlusion of middle cerebral artery and chronic unpredictable mild stress method. After model was successfully established, the rats in the normal group and model group received no treatment; the rats in medication group were treated with intragastric administration of fluoxetine (2 mg/kg); the rats in acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture at "Baihui" (GV 20), "Fengfu" (GV 16), "Shenmen" (HT 7) and "Taichong" (LR 3) for 20 min, during which manual stimulation was given once, once a day, 7 days as one course, and totally 3 courses were given with an interval of one day between courses. The changes of rat behavior and 5-HT, NE were observed after intervention; the RT-PCR method was applied to observe the mRNA of 5-HTT, 5-HTR, NEαR in hippocampus, raphe nucleus and locus coeruleus.

RESULTSAfter treatment, compared with the normal group, the Zea Longa score in the model group was increased, while sugar water consumption, the number of horizontal and vertical movement of open-field test was reduced (all<0.01); compared with the model group, the Zea Longa score in the medication group and acupuncture group was reduced, while sugar water consumption, the number of horizontal and vertical movement of open-field test were increased (<0.01,<0.05); compared between the medication group and acupuncture group, the behavior changes were not significantly different (all>0.05). After treatment, compared with the normal group, the content of 5-HT and NE in brain tissue and mRNA expression of 5-HTT, 5-HTR in hippocampus, raphe nucleus and locus coeruleus in the model group were reduced (all<0.01), but the mRNA expression of NEαR was increased (<0.01);compared with the model group, the content of 5-HT and NE in brain tissue and mRNA expression of 5-HTT, 5-HTR in hippocampus, raphe nucleus and locus coeruleus in the medication group and acupuncture group were increased (<0.01,<0.05), while the mRNA expression of NEαR was reduced (all<0.01). The differences between medication group and acupuncture group were not significantly different (all>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSAcupuncture could significantly improve behavioral change in rats with post-stroke depression, which may be related to the regulation of 5-HT, NE in cerebral cortex as well as mRNA expressions of 5-HTT, 5-HTR, NEαR in hippocampus, raphe nucleus and locus coeruleus.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy of intravascular ultrasound guided tranradial rotational atherectomy (RA) followed by drug eluting stent (DES) implantation in treating patients with heavily calcified coronary lesions.

METHODSClinical characteristics, coronary angiogram, intravascular ultrasound images, peri-procedure and follow-up data (including death , myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization) of 44 patients treated with RA and DES implantation under the guidance of IVUS in our department from March 2011 to March 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. IVUS examination was carried out before RA, after RA and stent implantation to guide whether further RA or post dilatation was needed. According to the arc of calcification, the patients were divided into group A (90°-270°, 18 cases) and group B (271°-360°, 26 cases).

RESULTSIn A and B group, the arc of calcification was (195 ± 71)° in group A and (345 ± 23)° in group B (P < 0.01) , length of calcification was (34.4 ± 11.8) mm in group A and (20.0 ± 6.6) mm in group B (P < 0.05). Number of burrs used and size of largest burr used were similar between 2 groups (both P > 0.05). Acute cross sectional area gain after RA was (0.43 ± 0.32) mm in group A and (0.53 ± 0.38) mm² in group B (P > 0.05). After RA, there was significant decrease in the arc of calcification in group B compared with baseline ((324 ± 52)° vs. (345 ± 23)°, P < 0.05). The minimal lumen area and diameter were significantly increased after RA resulting in significant decrease in the plaque burden in both groups (all P < 0.05). The final minimal lumen area after stenting were similar between 2 groups (P > 0.05). Procedure success rate was 100% (44/44) without any major complications such as death, acute myocardial infarction and coronary perforation. During the (16.6 ± 6.3) months follow-up, there was 1 death in group A, 1 target lesion revascularization in group B and there was no acute myocardial infarction in the 2 groups.

CONCLUSIONHeavily calcified coronary lesions can be effectively and safely treated by transradial RA under the guidance of IVUS.
