Objective To observe the effects of dexmedetomidine for different loading dose on blood pressure of surgery inten-sive care unit(SICU) patients conscious-sedation derivative phase .Methods 60 patients after general anaesthesia were divided into routine dose group(dexmedetomidine 1 .00 μg/kg ,group C) ,middle dose group(dexmedetomidine 0 .75 μg/kg ,group M ) and low dose group(dexmedetomidine 0 .50 μg/kg ,group L) ,and the loading time were reset 10 min .sedative effect was evaluated by Ram-say sedation score .Record the mean arterial blood pressure of everyone before administration ,5 min after ,15 min after ,30 min af-ter ,60 min after .Results All patients achieved good conscious-sedation .Compared with pro-administration ,the mean arterial blood pressure of group C descend significantly .The mean arterial blood pressure of group M and L descend significantly ,and then they were recover over time .60 min after the treatment ,the mean arterial blood pressure in group C was significantly lower than group L and goup M (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Small dose dexmedetomidine can achieved good conscious-sedation for SICU patients .It has less influence on hemodynamics .

Plant fungal pathogens secrete numerous proteins into the apoplast at the plant-fungus contact sites to facilitate colonization.However,only a few secretory proteins were functionally characterized in Magnaporthe oryzae,the fungal pathogen causing rice blast disease worldwide.Asparagine-linked glycosylation 3(Alg3)is an a-l,3-mannosyltransferase functioning in the N-glycan synthesis of N-glycosylated secretory proteins.Fungal pathogenicity and cell wall integrity are impaired in Aalg3 mutants,but the secreted proteins affected in Aalg3 mutants are largely unknown.In this study,we compared the secretomes of the wild-type strain and the Aalg3 mutant and identified 51 proteins that require Alg3 for proper secretion.These proteins were predicted to be involved in metabolic processes,interspecies interactions,cell wall organization,and response to chemicals.Nine proteins were selected for further validation.We found that these proteins were localized at the apoplastic region surrounding the fungal infection hyphae.Moreover,the N-glycosylation of these proteins was significantly changed in the Aalg3 mutant,leading to the decreased protein secretion and abnormal protein localization.Furthermore,we tested the biological functions of two genes,INV1(encoding invertase 1,a secreted invertase)and AMCase(encoding acid mammalian chinitase,a secreted chitinase).The fungal virulence was significantly reduced,and the cell wall integrity was altered in the Ainv1 and Aamcase mutant strains.Moreover,the N-glycosylation was essential for the function and secretion of AMCase.Taken together,our study provides new insight into the role of N-glycosylated secretory proteins in fungal virulence and cell wall integrity.
