Objective:To observe the effect of stellate ganglion block(SGB)on serum inflammatory factors and the expression of α7nAChR protein in rats with acute peritonitis,so as to further explore the mechanism of SGB on the inflammatory response of acute peritonitis in rats.Methods:40 SPF grade male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:blank group(Control),acute peritonitis group(AP),acute peritonitis+stellate ganglion block group(AP+SGB),acute peritonitis+stellate ganglion block+α7nAChR inhibitor methyllycaconitine group(AP+SGB+MLA),with 10 rats in each group.Inject 2％acetic acid at a dose of 1 ml/100 g into the peritoneal cavity of rats to establish an acute peritonitis model in the AP group,AP+SGB group,and AP+SGB+MLA group.Blood samples were collected from the tail vein of the rats,and the concentrations of IL-18 and TNF-α in serum were detected by ELISA.Western Blot method was used to detect the level of α7nAChR protein in the peritoneal tissues,and RT-qPCR method was used to detect the expression of α7nAChR mRNA in the peritoneal tissues.Results:Compared with Control group,the levels of IL-18 and TNF-α were increased in the other three groups(P＜0.05).Compared with AP group,serum levels of IL-18 and TNF-α in AP+SGB group were decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with AP+SGB group,serum levels of IL-18 and TNF-α were increased in AP+SGB+MLA group(P＜0.05).The expression of α7nAChR mRNA protein were higher in the three groups than group Control,(P＜0.05).Compared with AP group,α7nAChR protein and α7nAChR mRNA expression levels were higher in AP+SGB group and AP+SGB+MLA group(P＜0.05).Compared with AP+SGB group,α7nAChR protein and α7nAChR mRNA expression levels in AP+SGB+MLA group were lower(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Stellate ganglion block treatment can reduce the production of inflammatory factors and inhibit the inflammatory response of acute peritonitis in rats,and its anti-inflammatory mechanism may be related to the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway(CAP)mediated by α7nAChR.

Objective To compare the anesthetic effects of remazolam and dexmedetomidine assisted sedation in the operation of finger replantation under ultrasound guided brachial plexus block.Methods 60 patients undergoing severed finger replantation were randomly divided into remazolam group(group R)and a dexmedetomidine group(group D)by random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.Both groups received a single brachial plexus block under ultrasound guidance.Group R was injected with remazolam 0.1 mg/kg,followed by 1 mg/(kg·h)pump until 10 min before the end of the operation.In group D,a load dose of 0.5 μg/kg of dexmedetomidine was injected,followed by continuous infusion at a rate of 0.5 μg/(kg·h)until 10 min before the end of surgery.The MAP,HR and SpO2 values of the two groups were compared when the patients entered the room(T0),the wound was cleaned and disinfected(T1);the tourniquet was upper(T2);the operation began(T3);the tourniquet was relaxed(T4);and the operation ended(T5).MOAA/S scores and BIS values were compared between the two groups at different time.The time from the beginning of medication to the absence of consciousness and the time of consciousness recovery after drug withdrawal were compared between the two groups.Blood lactic acid(Lac)before applying tourniquet and 15 min after relaxing tourniquet were compared between the two groups.The occurrence of intraoperative adverse reactions was recorded in the two groups.Results The MAP of patients in group R had little fluctuation at each time during the operation,and the MAP of patients in group D was significantly increased at T1,T2,T3 and T0 moments and at the same time as that in group R(P<0.05);HR in group R was stable at all times,and HR in group D significantly slowed down at T1,T2 and at the same time with group R(P<0.05).Patients in both groups achieved ideal sedation during the operation(MOAA/S score≤3 points),and the MOAA/S score of patients in group R at T5 minutes after drug withdrawal was higher than that at other moments of the same group and group D(P<0.05);the BIS value of group R was higher than that of group D(P<0.05).The loss time and recovery time of consciousness in group R were shorter than those in group D(P<0.05).The incidence of intraoperative hypertension and bradycardia in group D was significantly higher than that in group R,and the incidence of respiratory depression in group R was higher than that in group D(P<0.05).There was no significant change in lactate value between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Remazolam and dexmedetomidine can satisfy sedation in brachial plexus nerve block for replantation of severed finger under ultrasound guidanc.Compared with dexmedetomidine,remazolam has better sedation control,stable hemodynamics,low incidence of circulatory adverse events.
