Objective To evaluate the value of international normalized ratio (INR) in predicting and diagnosing hemorrhagic events in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)receiving wafarin, to determine the optimal cut-off value of INR for predicting hemorrhagic events by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Methods The data of 231 patients with NVAF receiving wafarin were retrospectively analyzed, including 93 patients with hemorrhagic events and 138cases without hemorrhagic events as control group. The PT and INR were detected by Sysmex CA-500 with Medcalc software plotting ROC curve. Results The area under the ROC curve for INR was 0. 822 (95%CI: 0. 717-0. 900), the analysis of ROC curve revealed the optimal cut-off value of INR was 2.71, which presented a sensitivity of 77.40% and a specificity of 78.30%. Conclusions Through evaluation by ROC curve, the new cut-off value provides substantial improvement in sensitivity, with an acceptable loss of specificity. The value on predicting hemorrhagic events is better, the discriminative power of INR between hemorrhagic events and nonhemorrhagic events is satisfactory. The cut-off value of INR can guide the clinical physicians to predict the risks of hemorrhagic and promote proper use of clinical medications.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Qishen Tongluo Zengzhi decoction on cognitive impairment in patients with acute phase of ischemic stroke.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted, and 130 patients with acute phase of ischemic stroke and cognitive impairment accompanied by Qi deficiency and blood stasis and stagnationof phlegm-dampness syndrome admitted into the Neurology and Rehabilitation Departments of Rizhao Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) Affiliated to Shandong University of TCM were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 65 cases in each group. In the two groups, conventional internal treatment was given to all patients, and in the treatment group, additionally the Qishen Tongluo Zengzhi decoction was administered orally(composition: astragalus membranaceus 30 g, radix pseudostellariae 30 g, notoginseng 10 g,spatholobus stem 25 g, hirudo 3 g, pberetima 10 g, radix paeoniae rubra 12 g, Chinese angelica 12 g, peach kernel 10 g, carthamus tinctorious 10 g, achyranthes 12 g, radix rhapontici 10 g, rhizoma alismatis 6 g, Acorus gramineus Soland 9 g, polygala root 9 g, rhizoma cyperi 10 g, herba siegesbeckiae 15 g),one dose a day. While in the control group, oxiracetam 4.0 g intravenous drip was given, once a day. The whole course was 21 days in both groups. Before and after treatment, the cognitive function of all the patients in two groups was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)and Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA) scores, and incubation period and amplitude of P300 wave were recorded.Results Finally 62 cases were in treatment group and 63 cases in control group. Before treatment, the comparisons of the MMSE score, MoCA score and P300 latent period and amplitude between the two groups had no statistically significant differences(allP>0.05). After treatment in the two groups, the MMSE score, MoCA score and P300 wave amplitude were elevated, P300 latency period was shortened compared with those before treatment, and the changes were more prominent in treatment group〔score of MMSE: 25.33±2.32 vs. 21.68±2.29, score of MoCA(score): 26.61±3.06 vs. 22.40±2.93, P300 wave incubation period(ms): 349.62±20.01 vs. 371.87±19.63, P300 wave amplitude(μV): 8.70±2.92 vs. 5.72±2.33,allP<0.01〕.ConclusionQishen Tongluo Zengzhi decoctioncan effectively intervene cognitive impairment in patients with acute phase of ischemic stroke, and improve their cognitive function.

Objective Beta platelet-derived growth factor receptor ( PDGFR-β)-mediated signaling plays a key role in mor-phine tolerance , but its molecular mechanisms are not yet completely understood .The present study aims to investigate whether the ex-tracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK) and cyclic AMP response element binding protein ( REB) signaling pathways are involved in the development of PDGFR-βactivation-induced morphine tolerance in rats . Methods Thirty-six adult male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups of equal number:normal saline (20μL), morphine (15μg), morphine +imatinib (morphine 15μg +ima-tinib 10μg), morphine +PDGF-BB (morphine 15μg +PDGF-BB 10 ng), imatinib (10μg), and PDGF-BB (10 ng), all treated intrathecally at 20μL once daily for 7 consecutive days .Paw withdrawal latency ( PWL ) was measured 1 d before and 30 min after medication at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days, respectively, followed by calculation of the maximal possible effect of analgesia (MPE).On the 8th day, PWL was again obtained from all the rats at 30 min after intrathecal injection of morphine (15μg).Then, all the animals were sacrificed and the L4-5 segment of the spinal cord was isolated for determination of the expressions of ERK , phosphorylated ERK ( p-ERK) , CREB, and phosphorylated CREB ( p-CREB) by Western blot. Results At 5 and 7 days after medication, MPE was significant decreased in the morphine group ([52.90 ±8.20] and [15.12 ±3.80] %) and the morphine +PDGF-BB group ([43.51 ±5.42] and [14.81 ±3.60] %) as compared with (100.00 ± 0.00) %in both groups at 1 day (P<0.05), but had no significant changes in the morphine +imatinib group at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days.After intrathecal injection of morphine on the 8th day, MPE was (16.22 ±2.51) %in the morphine group, (15.22 ±3.50) %in the morphine +PDGF-BB group, and (35.21 ±4.51) %in the PDGF-BB group, all remarkably lower than (100.00 ±0.00) %in the control group (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the expression levels of ERK and CREB among the six groups.The expressions of spinal p-ERK and p-CREB were markedly increased in the morphine , morphine +PDGF-BB, and PDGF-BB groups as compared with the control group (P<0.05), but significantly decreased in the morphine +imatinib group in compari-son with the morphine group, (P<0.05). Conclusion The PDGFR-βsignaling pathway plays an important role in the develop-ment of tolerance to morphine-induced analgesia and its underlying mechanisms may be associated with the activation of the ERK and CREB pathways .

Objective To compare the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction ( POCD) under total inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane versus total intravenous anesthesia with propofol in elderly patients. Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients, aged 65-77 yr, weighing 43-78 kg, with preoperative Mini?Mental State Examination ( MMSE) score≥25, scheduled for elective surgery for oral and maxillofacial carcinoma, were divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table: total inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane group ( group S) and total intravenous anesthesia with propofol?based anesthesia group ( group P ) . The patients were tracheally intuba?ted under local infiltration anesthesia. In group S, anesthesia was induced with inhalation of 8% sevoflurane (oxygen flow rate 8 L∕min), rocuronium 0?9 mg∕kg was injected intravenously when the bispectral index ( BIS) value reached 45, and the patients were mechanically ventilated; anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane with the end?tidal concentration of 2%-3%. In group P , anesthesia was induced with iv propofol 2 mg∕kg and sufentanil 0?3μg∕kg, rocuronium 0?9 mg∕kg was injected intravenously when the BIS value reached 45, and the patients were mechanically ventilated; anesthesia was maintained with target?controlled infusion of propofol ( target plasma concentration 3-5μg∕ml) and remifentanil ( target plas?ma concentration 3-5 ng∕ml). In both groups, intermittent iv boluses of cisatracurium 0?04 mg∕kg were given to maintain muscle relaxation during operation, and BIS value was maintained at 40-60 during opera?tion. Before intubation ( T1 ) , immediately after onset of intubation ( T2 ) , at 10 min of intubation ( T3 ) , immediately after begninning of skin incision ( T4 ) , while operating on the base of tongue or sawing the low?er jaw ( T5 ) , at the end of operation ( T6 ) and on the morning of the postoperative day 1 ( T7 ) , blood sam?ples from the elbow vein were collected for determination of plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine concen?trations by high?performance liquid chromatography and electrochemistry. At T1?7 and on the morning of the postoperative day 3 ( T8 ) , blood samples from the elbow vein were collected for measurement of plasma cor?tisol concentrations by radioimmunoassay. MMSE was used to assess the cognitive function on the postopera?tive day 7. MMSE score< 24 was defined as POCD, and the occurrence of POCD was recorded. Results Compared with group S, the plasma concentrations of norepinephrine and epinephrine were significantly de?creased at T4 and T5 , the plasma cortisol concentration was significantly decreased at T4?7 ( P<0?05) , and no significant change was found in the incidence of POCD on the postoperative day 7 in group P ( P>0?05) . Conclusion Although the probability of the development of POCD is low when the two anesthetic methods are used, total intravenous anesthesia with propofol?based anesthesia induces a marked decrease in periop?erative stress responses when compared with total inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane.

Objective To compare the efficacy of orotracheal intubation after rapid induction and nasotracheal intubation after slow induction assisted by fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ patients with OSAS and hypertension, aged 38-64 yr, weighing 82-123 kg, undergoing uvulopalatopharyngoplnsty, were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n = 20 each): group Ⅰ awake nasotracheal intubation through FOB after slow induction and group Ⅱ orotracheal intubation through laryngoscope and FOB after rapid induction. MAP and HR were recorded immediately after anesthesia induction and intubation. The intubation time was recorded, and rate of successful intubation, incidences of tschycardia, hypertension and myocardial ischemia during intubation, and satisfactory rate of otolaryngologists with airway management were calculated. Results The rate of successful intubation were significantly higher, MAP and HR after induction were significantly lower, incidences of tachycardia, hypertension and myocardial ischemia during intubation were significantly lower, and satisfactory rate of otolaryngologists was significantly higher in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ ( P < 0.05). Four patients in group Ⅰ had nasal bleeding after extubation. Conclusion Orotracheal intubation after rapid induction assisted by FOB provides less hemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation and higher success rate with less injury to the airway in patients with OSAS than nasotracheal intubation after slow induction assisted by FOB.
