Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on emergence agitation (EA) following sevoflurane anesthesia in children with cerebral palsy.Methods Fifty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ children with cerebral palsy of both sexes,aged 2-12 yr,scheduled for elective muscle strength muscle tension adjustment method,were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n =25 each):control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of sufentanil 0.3 μg/kg,cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg,and propofol 1.5 mg/kg.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was intravenously infused over 15 min after induction of anesthesia in group D and the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.The operation was begun at the end of administration.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of 2％-4％ sevoflurane and the concentration was adjusted to achieve a target BIS value of 45-60.The heart rate,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were recorded before infusion of dexmedetomidine (T1) and at skin incision (T2).The extubation time,emergence time and consumption of sevoflurane were also recorded.The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was recorded at T1,T2,and the end of operation (T3).The adverse cardiovascular events and occurrence of EA were also recorded.The degree of EA was assessed using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale.The peripheral venous blood samples were collected at T1,T2,T3 and extubation (T4) for determination of the blood glucose level and serum cortisol concentration.Compared with group C,the emergence time and extubation time were significantly shortened,and the consumption of sevoflurane,end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations at T2 and T3,PAED scores,incidence of agitation,and the blood glucose level and serum cortisol concentration at T4 were significantly decreased in group D (P ＜0.05 or 0.01).There was no significant difference in the incidence of bradycardia or heart rate,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at each time point between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can decrease the development and degree of EA following sevoflurane anesthesia in children with cerebral palsy.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of lateral lymphadenectomy for advanced lower rectal cancer. Methods A total of 96 consecutive patients who underwent total mesorectal excision and lateral lymphadenectomy for advanced lower rectal cancer were retrospectively evaluated by using therapeutic index. A product of the frequency of lymph node metastasis and the cancer-related 5-year survival rate. Results The incidences of lymph node metastasis in mesorectal area, superior rectal artery area, inferior mesenteric artery area and lateral area was 21%,13%.10%and 15%respectively.The 5-year survival rate of patients with metastasis to the mesorectal area, superior rectal artery area, inferior mesenteric artery area and lateral area was 35%,25%,20%and 36%respectively.The therapeutic indexes for total mesorectal excision and lateral lymphadenectomy were 7.4 and 5.4,which were much higher than that of lymphadenectomy of the superior rectal artery area(3.3)and inferior mesenteric artery area(2.0).Local recurrence occurred in 19%(18 out of 96 cases)patients with advanced lower rectal cancer. Local recurrence rate of patients with positive lateral lymph node metastasis was 64%(9 of 14 cases),whereas it was 11%(9 of 82 cases)in those without lateral lymph node metastasis. The difference between these two groups was statistically significant(x2=22.308,P=0.000).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed significant improvements in median survival(80.9±2.1)m,95%CI:76.7～85.1 m vs(38±6.7)m,(95%CI:24.8～51.2 m)for patients with negative lateral lymph node metastasis over patients with lateral lymph node metastasis(log-rank,P=0.000). Conclusion The current results indicate that lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy could significantly reduce loeal recurrence and effectively improve the survival of patients with advanced lower rectal cancer. Except for total mesorectal excision, lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy should be followed in the surgery of pailents with advanced low rectal cancer.

Objective:To compare liver adhesive suspension method and V-shaped liver suspension of anterior abdominal wall in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods:This study retrospectively evaluated 115 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy from Jan 2018 to Dec 2019 at Shanxi Provincial People′s Hospital, 59 cases were under liver adhesive suspension (study group) and 56 cases under V-shaped liver suspension of anterior abdominal wall (control group). Intraoperative and postoperative conditions were observed and compared between the two groups.Results:All the 115 cases successfully completed surgery. The liver suspension time in study group was (2.4±0.5)min, which was significantly shorter than that of the control group((12.5±2.6) min)( t=-28.100, P<0.01). The total operation time in was (284±69) min and (307±78) min, respectively, ( t=-1.656, P=0.10). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in preoperative ALT, AST, total bilirubin, intraoperative incidence of hepatic lacerations and subcapsular hematoma, postoperative total bilirubin level, AST on the day 7 postoperatively, tumor location, TNM staging, surgical method, postoperative duration of hospital stay, and VAS score ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Both methods of liver suspension are safe and feasible in laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer.Compared with V-shaped liver suspension of anterior abdominal wall, liver adhesive suspension has the advantages of less invasive, safe, and time-saving.

Objective To evaluate the effect of cerebral palsy factor on the sensitivity of postopera?tive pain in the pediatric patients. Methods Twenty?five pediatric patients with cerebral palsy of both se?xes, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠorⅡ, aged 3-7 yr, weighing 11-25 kg, scheduled for elective lower abdominal or lower extremity surgery, served as cerebral palsy group ( group P). Another 25 pediatric patients without cerebral palsy of both sexes, of American Society of Anesthesiol?ogists physical status Ⅰ orⅡ, aged 3-7 yr, weighing 11-25 kg, served as control group ( group C) . At 2 h after surgery, pain was evaluated by using CRIES ( crying, requires O2 saturation, increased vital sign, expression and sleeplessness) . Peripheral venous blood samples were collected before surgery, and at 2 and 24 h after surgery, and the concentrations of plasmaβ?endorphin were measured by radio?immunity method, and the concentration of plasma catecholamine ( adrenaline) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Results Compared with the value before surgery, the plasma concentrations of β?endorphin were significantly decreased, and the concentrations of plasma catecholamine were increased after surgery in the two groups (P < 0?01). Compared with group C, the CRIES score was significantly in?creased after surgery, the concentration of plasmaβ?endorphin was decreased before and after surgery, and the concentration of plasma catecholamine was increased after surgery in group P ( P< 0?05 or 0?01) . Con?clusion The sensitivity of postoperative pain is increased in the pediatric patients with cerebral palsy.

Objective To evaluate the value of 3.0T magnetic resonance multi-b value diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in evaluating the efficacy of chemotherapy for patients with central lung squamous cell carcinoma and atelectasis. Methods Twenty patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (including T1WI, T2WI and multi-b value DWI) before chemotherapy, 2 cycles of chemotherapy and 4 cycles of chemotherapy. The images, the tumor volume and changes of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were analyzed. Results In the patients with central lung cancer and atelectasis, the tumor and atelectasis could be distinguished on MRI examination before radiotherapy. It was more easily identified on T2WI images after radiotherapy. In the 20 patients, the ADC values in the effective group (partial remission or complete remission) and the invalid group were increased, but the differences of ADC values in the effective group before chemotherapy, 2 cycles and 4 cycles of chemotherapy were statistically significant [b=800 s/mm2:(1.09 ± 0.52) × 10-6 mm2/s, (1.22 ± 0.59) × 10-6 mm2/s, (1.24 ± 0.52) × 10-6 mm2/s, F = 31.19, P < 0.001]. There was no significant difference in ADC values between before and after chemotherapy (b = 800 s/mm2: (1.10 ± 0.49) × 10-6 mm2/s, (1.16 ± 0.60) × 10-6 mm2/s, (1.20 ± 0.72) × 10-6 mm2/s, F=2.86, P=0.089]. When b=800 s/mm2, the ADC curve slope in the effective group was more stable, better linearity. Conclusions The MRI technique can accurately distinguish the tumor from atelectasis before and after chemotherapy. The change of ADC value after chemotherapy is earlier than that of morphological change. The change rate of b value can better evaluate the curative effect of chemotherapy.

Objective To appraise the safety and validity of early enteral nutrition on the course on treating severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods The clinical data of 71 patients with SAP were analyzed retrospectively. The album, prealbumin, TNF-β,CD4/CD8,IgG were observed. All the patients were randomly divided into two groups: enteral nutrition(EN)group for 36 patients and total parenteral nutrition(TPN)group for 35 patients. Results Fourteen days after treatment,CD4/CD8 and IgG in EN group were significantly increased than those in TPN group(P＜0.05),and prealbumin level in EN group significantly elevated(P＜0.05)and was higher than that in TPN group(P＜0.05).After treatment,TNF-α level in EN group significantly depressed(P＜0.05)and was lower than that in TPN group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Early enteral nutrition is safe and valid, and can promote albumin synthesis and prealbumin levels to improve their nutrition in patients with SAP, and may build-up the barrier of enteric mucosa to prevent bacterial shift, reduce systemic inflammatory reaction and improve its prognosis.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder (FBD). Objectives: To assess the therapeutic effects of paeoniflorin (PF) on IBS in rats.Method: Sixty male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal, model, positive drug, low-dose PF, medium-dose PF and high-dose PF groups (n = 10). After gavage for 2 consecutive weeks, the effect of PF on abdominal pain symptoms was assessed based on the abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) score, fecal water content and pathological changes in colon tissues. D-lactate, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa B (p-NF-κB) p65 was detected by Western blotting. The abundance and diversity changes of intestinal flora were explored using 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing.Result: In PF groups, the mucosal morphology of colon tissues was intact, and the glands were arranged neatly and structured clearly, without obvious inflammatory cell infiltration.Compared with the model group, PF groups had significantly elevated pain threshold, and mRNA and protein levels of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin, decreased AWR score at 20 mmHg pressure, fecal water content, mRNA levels of IL-1β, TGF-β, and TNF-α, protein level of p-NF-κB p65 and level of serum D-lactate, and reduced levels of serum IL-1β, TGF-β, and TNF-α (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). PF groups had higher abundance of Lactobacillus, Akkermansia, Alistipes, and Bacteroides, but lower abundance of Desulfovibrio, Parasutterella, and Enterococcus than those of the model group. Conclusions PF exerts therapeutic effects on IBS in rats probably by regulating the intestinal flora, and then up-regulating the expressions of ZO-1 and occludin in colon tissue while down-regulating the levels of IL-1β, TGF-β, TNF-α, D-lactate and p-NF-κB p65.
