ObjectiveTo study the pharmacokinetics of sufentanil in patients undergoing different cardiac surgeries with or without CPB.MethodsSixteen ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 56-64 yr weighing 52-78 kg undergoing cardiac surgery were divided into 2 groups ( n ＝ 8 each):group Ⅰ off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and group Ⅱ valve replacement.Radial artery and peripheral vein were cannnlated.A bolus of sufentanil 5μg/kg was administered iv after induction of anesthesia.Blood samples were obtained from radial artery at 1,3,5,10,20,30,60,120,180,240,360 min after sufentanil injection.Plasma was immediately separated and stored at - 80 C for determination of plasma sufentanil concentration by liquid c hromatography-mass spectrometry.Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by 3P97 pharmacological program.ResultsThe pharmacokinetic profile of sufentanil was best described by a three-compartment open model.The 3 exponential equations in group Ⅰ,before and during CPB in group Ⅱ were:Cp(t) ＝ 11.7 e-0.47t + 1.9 e0.043t + 0.27 e-0.0032t ; Cp(t) ＝ 33.4 e-1.87t + 7.1e-0.103t +2.0 e-0.0248t and Cp(t) ＝ 23.8 e-0.54t + 5.2 e0.054t + 0.15 e-0.0017t respectively.There was significant difference in most of the pharmacokinetic parameters between the 2 groups.ConclusionsThe pharmacokinetics of sufentanil in patients undergoing different cardiac surgeries can be described by ~compartment open model.Low cardiac function and CPB can reduce its drug metabolism rate and prolong the duration of action.

Background: N-Alkylamides(NAAs),derived from Anacyclus pyrethrum(L.)DC,have potential anti-tumor effects.To explore the molecular mechanism and chemo-preventive capacity of NAAs,we synthesized an NAA(H-10)and evaluated whether it could inhibit the proliferation of B16,HepG2,HeLa,and HCT116 cancer cells in 2D culture.Methods: To evaluate the antiproliferative activity of H-10 in 2D and 3D culture of BD,HepG2,HeLa,and HCT116 cells,multicellular tumor spheroids were constructed to more accurately reflect the cell tumor environment.To visualize nuclear changes related to apoptosis,Hoechst 33258 staining and propidium iodide-Annexin V double staining were performed.Results: Compound H-10 strongly inhibited the growth of all tested cell lines.Hoechst 33258 staining and propidium iodide-Annexin V double staining revealed that H-10 did not cause morphological al-terations in the nuclei and moderately induced late apoptosis only when treated at 180μM.The strongest inhibitory effect was observed in HCT116 cells.Flow cytometry analysis indicated that treatment of HCT116 cells with compound H-10 resulted in robust cell growth arrest in G2 phase in 2D and 3D cell culture;in 3D-cultured HCT116 cells,growth arrest occurred in G1 phase.Treatment with compound H-10 also significantly suppressed angiogenesis of chick chorioallantoic membrane in vivo.Conclusion: Treatment with compound H-10 strongly affected clonogenic survival(in the long-term)and migration of HCT116 cells.Therefore,H-10,a compound of NAAs may be useful for treating cancer because of its anti-neoplastic effect and easy synthesis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of limited pars plana vitrectomy(LPPV), pressure-controlled phacoemulsification(PCP), intraocular lens implantation(IOL), and posterior capsulotomy (PC) in treatment of nanophthalmic glaucoma eyes which intraocular pressure(IOP) were still out of control after peripheral iridectomy.Methods:All 24 patients(29 eyes) with nanophthalmic glaucoma whose IOP failed to be reduced after peripheral iridectomy and needed LPPV plus PCP plus IOL plus PC were recruited from July 2017 to April 2021. The age of these patients was(44.6±11.0) years old. Preoperative and postoperative IOP, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), anterior chamber depth(ACD) and number of glaucoma medications were recorded by chart review and compared by using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank-sum test. P<0.05 was considered as statistical significant. IOP could be controlled in normal range(≥5 mmHg and≤21 mmHg), without both of disease progression and serious complications were regarded as the success criteria of the operation. Surgical success rate was evaluated. Surgery-associated complications were recorded. Results:The average follow-up time was(11.52±12.44) months. After the microsurgery, IOP decreased from(33.12±9.25) mmHg to(14.23±3.44) mmHg( P<0.01); The ACD increased from(1.23±0.46) mm to(2.86±0.62) mm, and the median number of glaucoma medications dropped from 3(3,4) to 3(0,3) at final follow-up visit( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in BCVA( P=0.196) and the degrees of angle closure(AC) ( P=0.478) before and after operation. The total surgical success rate was 86.2%(25/29) at the final follow-up visit. Two eyes suffered from local choroidal detachment which recovered within 2 weeks with medical treatment. Conclusion:LPPV plus PCP plus IOL plus PC is a safe and effective novel surgical procedure in the treatment of nanophthalmic glaucoma patients with uncontrolled IOP after peripheral iridectomy. It could significantly decrease IOP, increase the depth of ACD, reduce the number of glaucoma medications and maintain BCVA. It can be considered as a first choice for the surgical management for patients with a such condition.
