Objective To observe the effects of PCIA with oxycodone after laparoscopic surger-y.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-60 years undergoing laparoscopic surgery were as-signed to two groups randomly (n=20 per group):oxycodone group (group A)and fentanyl group (group B).Patients in group A received oxycodone (0.03 mg/kg)and patients in group B received fentanyl (2 μg/kg)at the end of surgery.The PCIA pump was turned on when the patients entered the PACU.The PCIA pump was set up with a 4 ml bolus dose,a 1 5 min lockout interval and a back-ground infusion at the rate of 2 ml/h.Numerical rating scale (NRS)was assessed for the patients in moving,in rest and visceral pain at 3,6,12,24 and 48 h after administration,and the adverse reactions were recorded.Results NRS scores of the rest and visceral pain were significantly lower in group A than in group B at each time point(P <0.05).NRS score of the movement were significantly lower in group A than in group B at 3,6 and 12 h after surgery (P <0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidences of nausea,vomiting,dizziness and respiratory depression between the two groups. Conclusion PCIA with oxycodone can safely and effectively inhibit pain after laparoscopic surgery. The effect of oxycodone for controlling the visceral pain was better than that of fentanyl.

Objective To provide the practical experience of association of liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy(ALPPS) procedure in portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVT) cases,and to explore its value in PVTT therapy.Methods Three cases of ALPPS were applied to PVTT in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of PLA General Hospital from 2015 to 2016.The patients data were retrieved and analyzed retrospectively,including the basic information,preoperative PVTT classification,preoperative Child-Pugh classification,ICG test results,future liver remnant (FLR),FLR growth rate between 2 phase operation,operation time,bleeding volume,postoperative complications,postoperative survival etc.We discussed the detail technology and discuss the surgical procedure combine our experience and the published papers.Results ALPPS was performed successfully in all 3 patients.According to the Cheng's Classification of PVTT,they were classified as type Ⅱ,1 case and Ⅲ type,2 cases.Preoperative liver function was Child-Pugh A grade,average ICG R15 was 7.3％ (4.2％-11.0％),and average FLR was 387 ml (333-484 ml).The mean time interval between 2 phases surgery was 24.7 days (9-50 days) and the average FLR growth rate was 50.3％ (24.4％-82.3％).Morbidity of Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ or more was recorded in 1 case,but no mortality occurred.During follow-up period,2 patients were treated with TACE for tumor recurrence.All patients survived with acceptable life quality till now.The portal vein tumor thrombosis necrosis was observed in all 3 specimens.Conclusions ALPPS is a valuable surgery for effective control of tumor thrombus and radical resection rate in well selected PVVT type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ patients.It is expected to improve the therapeutic effect in combination with TACE and other treatment methods.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 135 cm Corsair microcatheter inpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) with antegrade approach via radial artery. Methods From June 2010 to February 2014, a total of 81 patients with CTO lesions treated with 135cm Corsair microcatheter (Asahi Intec Co, Japan) and transradial antegrade approach was enrolled in this study. The success rate of CTO-PCI, the rate of Corsair microcatheter crossing the CTO lesions and the number of balloon catheters utilization were retrospectively analyzed. Unique complications related to the Corsair microcatheter were also documented. Results Success recanalization of CTO were achieved in 73 (90.1%) patients. Crossing the CTO body with Corsair microcatheter was found in 56(84.8%) patients. The number of balloon utilized after Corsair microcatheter crossing the CTO was much lower than that of patients who Corsair microcatheter failed to cross (1.3±0.6 per patient versus 2.8±1.2per patient, P < 0.05). The success recanalization rate of combined using Fielder XT guidewire with Corsair microcatheter was 51.5%. There was no complications related to Corsair microcatheter during the index procedure, no major adverse cardiac events during in-hospital clinical follow-up. Conclusions Corsair microcatheter was safe and effective in the recanalization for CTO with transradialantegrade approach. It can simplify the CTO-PCI procedure and reduce the number of balloon catheters.

Objective To explore the monitoring of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in a model of brain herniation induced by acute intracranial hypertension in Guangxi Bama-Mini pigs by phasecontrast cine magnetic resonance imaging (PC cine MRI).Methods Femoral artery blood were extracted from 10 pigs,and injected into the frontal and temporal parietal lobe to make a model of brain herniation induced by acute intracranial hypertension.The mean arterial blood pressure (MAP),intracranial pressure (ICP),and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) were monitored.Routine T1WI,T2WI,coronal,sagittal and cerebrospinal fluid flow sequence (fast PC cine slice) which positioned on the cervical 3 (C3) vertebral body as the center and perpendicular to the spinal scans were performed on all experimental animals before and after blood injection with 3.0T Magnetic Resonance Imaging.The ICP,MAP,CPP,the absolute values of CSF peak flow velocity and the absolute value of carotid peak flow velocity before and after blood injection were compared.Results The ICP,MAP,CPP,and the absolute value of CSF peak flow velocity before injection of autologous arterial blood were statistically significant as compared with those after blood injection [(6.80±2.044) mmHg vs (52.20±1.619) mmHg,(76.80±7.068) mmHg vs (142.80±12.399) mmHg,(70.00±6.074) mmHg vs (90.50±12.250) mmHg,and the absolute value of CSF peak flow velocity was (243.20±77.671) mm/s vs (201.40±55.482) mm/s,respectively,P＜0.01].The absolute value of the peak velocity of the carotid artery before blood injection was not statistically significant compared with that after blood injection [(876.80±239.908) mm/s vs (799.40±241.829) mm/s,P＞0.05].Conclusion After the formation of brain herniation induced by acute intracranial hypertension,the CSF flow in the C3 level spinal canal showed a low dynamic change,and the CSF flow velocity waveform was disordered and malformed.The non-invasive measurement of CSF dynamics by PC cine MRI can provide an important basis for the change of CSF dynamics in the model of brain herniation induced by acute intracranial hypertension,and provide a theoretical basis for further research on damage control neurosurgery in the future.

Objective:To explore the evaluation value of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at different time points in the prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia combined with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:A retrospective cohort study method was conducted, including patients with severe pneumonia and ARDS admitted to the emergency intensive care unit (ICU) of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2015 to December 2019. General clinical data such as gender, age, and the SOFA scores at 1, 2, 3, and 7 days after admission were recorded. According to the diagnostic test, the prognostic evaluation value of SOFA score in patients with severe pneumonia combined with ARDS at different time points and different ages was analyzed.Results:A total of 88 cases were included in this study, eventually, 42 cases were survived and 46 cases died, the mortality was 52.27%. The age of the death group was significantly older than the survival group (years old: 60.67±14.66 vs. 51.91±15.97), the SOFA score at each time point were significantly higher than those in the survival group (9.83±3.50 vs. 7.54±2.67, 9.98±3.75 vs. 7.48±2.92, 10.84±4.14 vs. 7.23±2.94, 11.71±4.03 vs. 6.51±3.22, respectively at 1, 2, 3, 7 days after admission, all P < 0.01). The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) showed that the SOFA score at 1, 2, 3, and 7 days after admission had a certain predictive value for the prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia combined with ARDS (all P < 0.01), and with the prolong of ICU stay, the area under ROC curve (AUC) of SOFA score had gradually increased. On the 7th day after admission, the SOFA score had the highest sensitivity in predicting severe pneumonia combined with ARDS patients, which was 92.86%, and the specificity was the highest on the 3rd day after admission, which was 88.10%. The AUC in day 7 was significantly higher than day 2 (0.85 vs. 0.72) , there was no statistically significant difference of AUC at other time points. After stratifying by age, the diagnostic of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and AUC of SOFA score for the prognosis had gradually increased, and the predictive value was better. However, only on day 3 after admission, the AUC of SOFA score was significantly higher than day 1 (0.80 vs. 0.77, P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in AUC at other time points. In patients older than 60 years old, the AUC of the SOFA score predicting the prognosis of patients was relatively small on day 1 and day 2 (0.67, 0.68, respectively), the ability was poor. There was no statistically significant difference in the AUC of SOFA scores at each time point in evaluating the prognosis of patients. The trends over time of patients at different ages and time points showed that regardless of age, the SOFA scores of the patients in the death group showed an upward trend, while showed a downward trend in the survival group, the difference reached the largest on the 7th day after admission, and the death group was significantly higher than the survival group (age < 60 years old: 12.50 vs. 6.69; age≥60 years old: 11.58 vs. 6.21). Conclusion:The initial SOFA score has a certain value in the evaluation of prognosis of severe pneumonia patients combined with ARDS, but the effect is poor for elderly patients.

Objective: To investigate the effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on the expression of aquaporin 2-3 after the release of unilateral ureter obstruction in young rats. Methods: Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(CUUO-R group, CUUO-R+ EPO group and sham group, with 8 rats in each group). The CUUO-R model was built through unilateral ureteral ligation, after 48 h the obstruction was released.EPO was given to the CUUO-R+ EPO group at the time point of removing obstruction, and then repeated every other day for 1 week, and the same volume of saline was simultaneously given to the CUUO-R rats.The rats in sham group experienced the laparotomy and free dissection of left ureter but not ligation.The kidneys were harvested 7 d after the release of CUUO.The methods of Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to examine the effects of erythropoietin on the expression of AQP2 and AQP3. Results: The osmotic pressure of CUUO-R+ EPO group was higher than those of CUUO-R group, but lower than that of sham group(P=0.007). The concentration of creatinine and urea in the CUUO-R group[(58.001±2.416) μmol/L and (9.025±1.158) mmol/L]were higher than those of CUUO-R+ EPO group [(57.072±2.286) μmol/L and (1.479±0.043) mmol/L] and sham group [(54.820±1.536) μmol/L and (6.929±0.604) mmol/L]. The differences of the concentration of creatinine and urea between CUUO-R group and sham group were statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no significant difference between CUUO-R+ EPO group and Sham group(P>0.05). The immunohistochemistry showed that the expressions of AQP2 and AQP3 in co-llecting duct in CUUO-R group were significantly weaker than those of in sham group, and the expression of those in CUUO-R+ EPO group were slightly weaker than sham group.These results were further confirmed by Western blot, as the relative quantity of AQP2 and AQP3 were also the lowest in CUUO-R group(AQP2 in 3 groups were 0.974±0.109, 1.923±0.097 and 2.002±0.044, F=392.4, P=0.000; AQP3 in 3 groups were 0.941±0.048, 1.497±0.043 and 1.863±0.043, F=735.8, P=0.000). Conclusions EPO treatment is beneficial for the recovery expre-ssion of AQP2 and AQP3 as well as renal function at the early period after the release of ureteral obstruction in young rats.
