Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the efficacy of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with morphine after elective radical gastrectomy. Methods One hundred and twenty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 41-64 yr weighing 50-80 kg undergoing elective radical gastrectomy were randomly divided into 2 groups of 60 patients, according to the composition of PCIA solution:group I morphine (group M)and group Ⅱ morphine + dexmedetomidine (group MD). In group M the PCIA solution contained morphine 100 mg in 200 ml of normal saline (NS), while in group MD the PCIA solution contained morphine 100 mg+dexmedetomidine 200 μg in NS 200 ml. PCIA was started immediately after operation. A loading dose of 6 ml was given iv at the end of operation. PCIA setting was as follows:background infusion 1 ml/h, bolus dose 3 ml and lockout interval 10 min. VAS score was maintained at ≤4 and Ramsay score at 2-3. The total amount of morphine consumed, the number of attempts and successfully delivered doses within 24 and 48 h after operation were recorded. Postoperative complications including nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, hypotension, oversedation and respiratory depression were recorded. Results The total amount of morphine consumed, the number of attempts and successfully delivered doses within 24 and 48 h after operation were significantly smaller and the incidence of nausea and vomiting and pruritus was significantly lower in group MD than in Sroup M. No bradycardia,hypotension, oversedation or respiratory depression was observed in either group. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine added to intravenous morphine PCA can improve the analgesic efficacy after radical gastrectomy with less adverse effects.

Objective To investigate the sonographic features of follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FV-PTC) and to decrease misdiagnosis rate. Methods Thirty-one patients with 35 FV-PTCs and 66 patients with 75 conventional PTCs (C-PTCs) were enrolled in this study. The sonographic features were reviewed retrospectively between the two groups with universally accepted standards. Results The sonographic features of 35 FV-PTCs included irregular shapes (6/35), anteroposterior to transverse diameter ratio A/T > 1 (7/35), spiculated margins (25/35), marked hypoechogenicity (0/35), hypoechogenicity (18/35), isoechogenicity (16/35), no calcification (15/35), microcalcifications (11/35), macrocalcification (9/35), color Doppler lfow patternⅠ(20/35), color Doppler lfow patternⅡ(10/35), color Doppler lfow patternⅢ(5/35). Irregular shapes, A/T>1, spiculated margins, marked hypoechogenicity, microcalciifcations, and color type Ⅱ were rarer in FV-PTCs than in C-PTCs, while isoechogenicity, no calciifcation, macrocalciifcation, and color type Ⅲwere more frequent in FV-PTCs than in C-PTCs. The differences of the above features were statistically significant [χ2=4.276, P=0.039; χ2=8.125, P=0.004; P=0.009 (Fisher′ s exact test); χ2=8.548, P=0.003;χ2=4.898, P=0.027,χ2=7.796, P=0.005;χ2=5.462, P=0.019;P=0.001 (Fisher′s exact test)] . During the preoperative ultrasonography, 20 of 35 FV-PTCs were diagnosed as malignancy, and others were misdiagnosed as benign nodules (misdiagnosis rate was 43%). The lymphatic metastasis rate of FV-PTCs was 29%(9/31), significantly lower than C-PTCs [62%(41/66),χ2=9.246, P=0.002]. In terms of the sonographic features of metastatic lymph nodes, there was no marked difference between FV-PTCs and C-PTCs. Conclusions Some FV-PTCs are lack of malignant features, and tend to be misdiagnosed frequently when coexisting with benign thyroid nodules. Observing the echogenicity, color lfow characteristics and other features of each thyroid nodule and cervical lymph node with multiple views may decrease the misdiagnosis rate.

BACKGROUND:Ultrasonic therapy is one of several physical therapy modalities suggested for the management of pain and loss of function due to osteoarthritis. However, its effectiveness stil remains controversial in the previous studies.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of ultrasonic therapy for the treatment of relieving knee osteoarthritis pain.
METHODS:A retrieval of Pubmed, Ovid/Medline, Ovid/EMBASE, and Cochranee database was performed. The relevant literatures were manual y retrieved. The retrieval deadline was set on March 31, 2014. Randomized control ed trials on ultrasonic therapy of knee osteoarthritis were col ected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of eight studies of meta-analysis were accumulated. Among them, six studies adopted visual analog scale and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, one study adopted visual analog scale only, and one study adopted Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index. Then the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index scores were transformed into visual analog scale scores for data analysis. There was a statistical difference between the groups in the visual analog scale pain score (standardized standard deviation:-0.51;95%confidence interval:-0.68,-0.33;P=0.05). Ultrasonic therapy is an effective method for knee osteoarthritis pain.
