Objective To investigate the effect of sodium citrate on the efficacy of oral midazolam premedication in children with congenital heart disease. Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ children, aged 2-6 yr, weighing 12-20 kg, undergoing cardiac surgery, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20 each): control group (gronp C) and sodium citrate group (group S). Group S received oral mixture of midazolam 0.12 ml/kg (0.6 my/kg), ketamine 0.12 ml/kg (6 my/kg), glucose 0.12 ml/kg (60 mg/kg) and sodium citrate 0.12 ml/kg (3 mg/kg), total volume 0.48 ml/kg. Group C received oral mixture of midazolam 0.12 ml/kg, ketamine 0.12 ml/kg and glucose 0.24 ml/kg, total volume 0.48 ml/kg. Hydrochloric acid (pH value 1.75) was mixed with the mixtures in the two groups and pH values were measured. Preoperative anxiety scale and the onset time,sedation score and parental separation score after receiving oral drugs were recorded in preparation room for anesthesia. After entering the operating room, HR, MAP and SpO2 were monitored, and the response to venepuncture in children and the adverse effects associated with oral drugs were also observed and recorded. Results The pH value was 1.97 in group C and 4.52 in group S. The parental separation score, sedation score and response score were significantly lower and the onset time was significantly shorter in group S than in group C. HR, MAP and SpO2 were in the normal range after entering the operating room. There was no obvious adverse effect after administration of oral drugs in the two groups. Conclusion Application of sodium citrate in the oral premedication in children with congenital heart disease can raise the pH value, shorten the onset time of midazolam, and enhance the sedative efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the expression of antisense hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (aHIF-1α) during brain injury after asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation in rats.Methods Twenty-four pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-280 g,were divided into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),cardiac arrest and resuscitation group (group R) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation were performed in R and D groups.The rats were tracheally intubated without clipping the trachea in group S.Dexmedetomidine 4 μg/kg was injected via the tail vein at 5 min before clipping the trachea in group D,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in S and R groups.Neurological deficit was assessed and scored (NDS) at 12,24,48 and 72 h after recovery of spontaneous circulation (T1 4).The rats were sacrificed after assessing neurological deficit at T4,brains were removed and hippocampi were isolated for determination of cell apoptosis (by TUNEL),HIF-1α expression (by Western blot) and expression of HIF-1α and aHIF-1α mRNA in hippocampal tissues (using polymerase chain reaction).Apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the NDS at each time point and apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons at T4 were significantly increased,and the expression of HIF-1α protein and mRNA and 5'aHIF-1α mRNA was up-regulated in R and D groups (P<O.05).Compared with group R,the NDS at T2.4 and apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons at T4 were significantly decreased,the expression of 5'aHIF-1α mRNA was down-regulated,and the expression of HIF-1α protein and mRNA was up-regulated in group D (P < 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine reduces brain injury after asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation is related to down-regulation of 5'aHIF-1α expression in rats.

Objective To identify the features of the NCAM+ c-Kit+ subset of hepatic progenitor cells in the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) cell line RBE.Method Magnetic activated cell sorting was used to isolate NCAM+ c-Kit+/NCAM-c-Kit-subset cells,which were tested for hepatic progenitor cell properties and proliferation,colony formation,and invasive abilities in nude mice.Resuits The cell proliferation ability of NCAM+c-Kit+ subset cells was stronger than that of NCAMc-Kit-subset cells (P<0.01).In serum-free condition,the number of colonies formed by NCAM+c-Kit+ subset cells was more than that of NCAM-c-Kit-cells (P<0.01).1 × 104 NCAM+c-Kit+ cells were enough to form tumors in nude mice after subcutaneous inoculation for two weeks,while 1 × 106 NCAM-c-Kit-cells were necessary to form tumors for three weeks.The tumor formation rate of NCAM+c-Kit+ cells was higher than that of NCAM-c-Kit-cells (P=0.04).Conclusions It is possible that NCAM+c-Kit+ subset cells in RBE have the properties of hepatic progenitor cells,and NCAM combined with c-Kit might be a valuable marker for isolating and purifying ICC stem/progenitor cells.

OBJECTIVETo investigate whether A118G single nucleotide polymorphisms of the µ-opioid receptor (OPRM1) affects epidural patient-controlled analgesia with fentanyl after caesarean section.
METHODSA total of 100 pregnant women (ASA class I or II) scheduled for elective caesarean section were enrolled in this study. All the patients received spinal-epidural anesthesia and were screened for blood A118G polymorphism. Epidural patient-controlled analgesia with fentanyl was provided postoperatively. The pain scores, incidence of nausea and vomiting, and total self-administered epidural fentanyl dose within 48 h postoperatively were recorded.
RESULTSNinety-six patients were finally included in this study. The percentages of the genotypes AA, AG, and GG were 36.5% (35 cases), 46.9% (45 cases), and 16.7% (16 cases), respectively. At 12 and 24 h postoperatively, the pain scores and the total fentanyl dose administered were significantly higher in group GG than in groups AA and AG.
CONCLUSIONA118G single nucleotide polymorphism affects pain relief and total fentanyl dose administered in epidural patient-controlled analgesia after caesarean section. G118 homozygotes have a poorer response to fentanyl than A118 homozygotes or heterozygotes.

Objective To explore the value of the plasma miR-193a-5p level on diagnosis and monitoring the response to treatment in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from AML patients enrolled in hematology department of the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from July 2015 to December 2015, including 30 de novo AML patients, 9 patients in complete remission (CR) and 6 patients in relapse. Peripheral blood samples from 15 healthy people were randomly choosed as the health control group. Plasma miR-193a-5p expression levels were detected by using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results The plasma miR-193a-5p relative expression level of AML patients group [0.465 6 (0.103 1-5.000 2)] was obviously lower than that of health control group [0.766 1 (0.052 1-3.134 4)] (U= 122, P= 0.018 7). The plasma miR-193a-5p relative expression levels of de novo group and relapse AML group were significantly lower than those of CR group and health control group (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the CR group and health control group (U= 56, P= 0.511 9). No significant correlation was found between the plasma miR-193a-5p level and age, gender, blast percentage of the bone marrow, peripheral blood leukocyte count, platelet count, CD34+cells'percentage and so on. Conclusion The decreased plasma miR-193a-5p expression level can be served as a new and noninvasive biomarker for the evaluation of diagnosis and treatment in AML.
