Objective To evaluate the effect of fentanyl on the efficacy of low-dose ropivacaine for spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing anorectal surgery.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-55 yr,with body mass index 18-28 kg/m2,scheduled for anorectal surgery,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20 each):0.5％ ropivacaine 7.5 mg group (group R) and 0.3％ ropivacaine 6.0 mg+ fentanyl 10 μg group (group RF).A catheter was implanted into the subarachnoid space (L3.4 interspace) and advanced caudally until lumbar region.Group R received hyperbaric 0.5％ ropivacaine 1.5 ml.Group RF received 2.0 ml mixture of hyperbaric 0.3％ ropivacaine 6.0 mg and fentanyl 10μg.The onset time of sensory and motor block,upper level of sensory block,and duration of sensory and motor block were recorded.Motor block was assessed by modified Bromage scale.Results Compared with group R,the duration of sensory and motor block was significantly shortened,and modified Bromage scores were significantly decreased in group RF (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01),and no significant change was found in the onset time of sensory and motor block and upper level of sensory block between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion 0.3 ％ ropivacaine 6.0 mg combined with fentanyl 10 μg provides satisfactory spinal anesthesia for anorectal surgery,with lower degree and faster recovery of motor block.

Patients in intensive care unit were more critically ill, and often accompanied by dottiness and restless. In order to avoid the adverse events and self-injury, body constraints were often used on the patients. Therefore, this paper would discuss the ethics of body constraints and give the suggestions. According to the literature review and the analysis of the clinical nursing experience of relevant ethical principles, data was collected. The principle of informed consent, respect, and harmless was hard to decide on the issue of body constraints for patients in ICU. Nurses might pay attention to the application of ethical principles, and strengthen the humanistic care. On the issue of body constraints for ICU patients, nurses might pay special attention to the application of possible ethics principles in nursing process and reduce the application of the body constraints, and promote the physical and mental comfort of patients. It reflected the progress of the humanistic solicitude in the current clinical nursing and important value.

Objective To observe the ultrastructure of pancreas in the bustard( Otis tarda limaells) . Methods Three bustard's pancreas were observed with electron microscope. Results The exocrine secretory units of bustard's pancreas contain a lobulated tubulo acinar gland in which the lobulation is not so distinct as that of the mammalian gland due to the lack of interlobular connective tissue septa.The space between lobular pancreas is lined directly with pancreatic cells as the duct.Single long spindle shaped connective tissue cell could only be seen among three lobules and its cytoplasm becomes slender and stretches into the space between lobules as a distinct intermediate dense line.The exocrine secretory cells can be divided into two kinds of dark and light.In the light cell,particularly in swelled up rER with very little density are filled the greater part of the cytoplasm and made the cell appearance much lighter than other cells.\;The endocrine cells are divided into two types that are dispersed in pancreatic singly and clustered into pancreatic islets.The dispersed endocrine cells contain a lot of moderate dark electron dense granules in their process near basement membrane.There are two types of islets——A islet and B islet in the bustard pancreas.A islets comprise only one cell type with moderate electron density that contains dark endocrine granules.B islet contains two cell types:B and D cell.B cells are the most numerous cells with a long ovoid nucleus and contains two or three types of granules in the cytoplasm.D cells are relatively rare and can be seen in the periphery nearby basement membrane.Cells keep close to each other and desmosomes can be seen within the islet.The endocrine cells closely contact exocrine cells without basement membrane in the periphery partly.Conclusion\ These are some structural characteristics that adapt to fly and that are different from other animal in bustard's pancreas.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical performance of CAD/CAM zirconia all-ceramic restorations.Methods:287 all-ce-ramic Zirconia restorations in 206 patients were included in a 3-year prospectively survey with California Dental Association Standard (CDA)as a reference.The effects and the related factors such as restoration type,tooth region,fiber reinforced composite application on survival rate were analyzed.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-Rank test were used for data analysis.Results:Chipping frac-tures in 5 restorations,intense gingivitis at 4 restorations and periapical inflammation for 3 restorations were observed during the obser-vation period.The 3-year cumulative survival rate (CSR)of CAD/CAMzirconia restorations was 95.7%,The differences among the CSR of single crowns(96.3%),linked crowns (93.6%)and fixed partial dentures(95.7%)were not statistically significant(P >0.05).The difference was not statistically significant(P >0.05)between the CSR of the anterior region group(94.5%)and posterior region group(96.3%)as well as difference(P >0.05)between the CSR of fiber reinforced composite group (95.0%)and without fiber reinforced composite group(96.1%).Conclusion:The cumulative survival rate of CAD/CAM zirconia all-ceramic restorations is high.Chipping fracture is the main reason of failure.Restoration type,tooth region and fiber reinforced composite have no significant effect on the survival of zirconia restorations.

Objective: To replace esophageal defects with artificially composed biodegradable materials and non-biodegradable materials. Met hods: A two-layered tube consisting of a collagen-chitosan sponge and an inner polyurethane stent was used to replace 5 cm esophageal segmental defect s in 15 dogs. The inner polyurethane stent was removed endoscopically at weekly intervals from 2 or 4 weeks. Results: Partial regeneration of es ophageal epithelia was observed in 5 dogs at week 2, and progressing constricti on occurred and the dogs became unable to swallow within 1 month. In the 10 dog s that the polyurethane stent was removed at week 4, regenerated esophageal tiss ue successfully replaced the defects, and complete epithelization was observed 1 month after surgery. Complete regeneration of esophageal mucosa structures, inc luding mucosal smooth muscle and mucosal glands were observed 3 months after surgery, and partial regeneration of esophageal muscle tissue was also observed 6 months after surgery. Conclusion: Our artificial prosthesis i n reconstruction of the cervical esophagus segment in dogs is feasible. Through temporary polyurethane tube, collagen-chitosan sponge provides a three-dimensi onal structure suitable for the regeneration and sufficient degradation time for the complete regeneration of esophagus.

Cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility remains the principal theme for biomaterials application in medicine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility of collagen/hydroxyapatite(CHA) composite material in vitro in order to provide useful scientific basis for clinical use. Cellular cultivation in vitro and MTT assay were conducted for evaluating the composite material's influence on the morphology, growth and proliferation of cultured cell(L-929 cell). The hemolysis test was also performed for evaluating the impact on the function and metabolism of erythrocyte. These results demonstrated that the CHA composite material had no cytotoxicity and no hemolytic effect, and it might not be harmful to the morphology of the L-929 cell. The growth and proliferation of the L-929 cell could not be inhibited significantly. The cytotoxicity score of the composite material was grade 0. The hemolysis rate was 1.85%. In conclusion, collagen/hydroxyapatite (CHA) composite material might have good cytocompatibility and be safe for clinical use.

Purpose To explore three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI) in assessing changes of left ventricular global systolic function of viral myocarditis (VMC) child patients before and after treatment.Materials and Methods Thirty-eight VMC child patients were given related treatment and blood biochemistry test,routine ECG and 3D-STI were taken for examination before and after surgery when the index became normal and results were recorded.Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd),left ventricular endsystolic diameter (LVEDs),left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),global longitudinal strain (GLS),global radial strain (GRS),global circumferential strain (GCS) and global area strain (GAS) were obtained.Results Postoperative cardiac troponin I and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels were all statistically lower than those before surgery (P＜0.05).Difference of preoperative and postoperative LVEDd,LVEDs,LVEDV,LVESV and LVEF was of no statistical significance (P＞0.05).Postoperative GLS,GRS,GCS and GAS were statistically higher than those before surgery (P＜0.05).Conclusion 3D-STI can evaluate abnormal change of left ventricular myocardial function of VMC child patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block for improving analgesia after radical resection of colorectal cancer in elderly patients.Methods Fiftysix American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes,aged 75-86 yr,weighing 52-78 kg,scheduled for elective radical resection of colorectal cancer under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n=28 each) using a random number table:TAP block group (group T) and control group (group C).After anesthesia induction,ultrasound-guided bilateral TAP block was performed,and 0.40％ ropivacaine 25 ml was injected into each side in group T.Both groups received patientcontrolled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with fentanyl after surgery.PCIA solution contained fentanyl 600 μg and azasetron 10 mg in 100 ml of normal saline.The PCIA pump was set up with a 2 ml bolus dose,a 15 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 2 ml/h,and visual analogue scale score was maintained≤ 3.When the visual analogue scale score＞3,tramadol 50-100 mg was intravenously injected as rescue analgesic.The number of patients requiring rescue analgesic,consumption of fentanyl during PCIA and the number of successfully delivered doses were recorded within 24 h after surgery.The adverse reactions such as hematoma at the puncture site,nausea and vomiting,respiratory depression,chest tightness and pruritus were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the number of patients requiring rescue analgesic was significantly decreased,and the consumption of fentanyl and the number of successfully delivered doses during PCIA were decreased in group T (P＜0.05).No hematoma was found at the puncture site in group T.No respiratory depression,chest tightness or pruritus was found in the two groups,and there were no significant differences in the incidence of nausea and vomiting between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion Preoperative TAP block can reduce the consumption of fentanyl and enhance the efficacy of analgesia after radical resection of colorectal cancer in elderly patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between serum interleukin (IL) and liver pathological changes in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). MethodsA total of 59 patients with CHB who were treated in Putuo District Central Hospital of Shanghai from February 2018 to February 2019 were enrolled as subjects, and liver biopsy was performed for all patients. According to the degree of liver inflammation, the patients were divided into mild inflammation (G1-G2) group and severe inflammation (G3-G4) group, and according to the degree of liver fibrosis, the patients were divided into mild fibrosis (S0-S2) group and severe fibrosis (S3-S4) group. Serum liver function parameters, blood lipids, interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured for all patients. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Wilcoxon non-parametric test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A Spearman correlation analysis was also performed. ResultsThe degree of liver fibrosis increased with the increase in liver inflammation (rs=0.538, P＜0.001). Compared with the mild inflammation group, the severe inflammation group had significantly higher serum levels of alanine aminotransferase ［95.00 (45.00-16925) U/L vs 51.00 (29.00-88.00) U/L, Z=-2.625, P=0.009］, aspartate aminotransferase ［54.50 (34.75-84.50) U/L vs 38.00 (30.00-49.00) U/L, Z=-2.014, P=0.044］, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase ［91.00 (56.72-192.25) U/L vs 44.00 (24.00-100.00) U/L, Z=-2.400, P=0.016］. The severe fibrosis group had a significantly higher serum level of high-density lipoprotein than the mild fibrosis group ［0.97 (0.32-1.08) mmol/L vs 1.23 (0.36-1.38) mmol/L, Z=-1.300, P=0.008］. The severe inflammation group had a significantly higher serum level of IL-2 receptor than the mild inflammation group ［704.00(418.00-103800) U/ml vs 436.00(335.00-555.00) U/ml, Z=-3.405, P=0.001］, and the severe fibrosis group had a significantly higher serum level of IL-2 receptor than the mild fibrosis group ［735.00(523.00-890.50) U/ml vs 447.00 (351.50-624.50) U/ml, Z=-5.358, P=0.001］. ConclusionThe degree of liver inflammation is positively correlated with that of liver fibrosis, while the serum level of IL-2 receptor increases with the increase in the degrees of liver inflammation and fibrosis, indicating that IL-2 receptor can reflect the degrees of liver inflammation and fibrosis to some extent.
