Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines caused by tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury at limbs.Methods Eighty patients who had been scheduled for lower limb operation with tourniquet were assigned equally by sequence number to use or not use DEX (DEX or control group,n =40).Combined spinal-epidural anesthesia was performed in both groups.In the DEX group,DEX intravenous infusion was started immediately after the femoral vein cannulated at a dose of 1 μg/kg for 10 minutes,followed by 0.5 μg/kg · h until the end of operation,whereas the control group received an equivalent volume of 0.9％ saline.At 10 min before tourniquet inflation (T1),10 min (T2),30 min (T3) and 60 min (T4) after tourniquet release,femoral venous blood samples were obtained to measure heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),saturation of pulse oximetry (SPO2),serum malondialdehyde (MDA),serum superoxide dismutase (SOD),serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels in both groups.Results There were no significant differences in HR,MAP or SPO2 at all time points between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).There were no significant differences in HR,MAP or SPO2 at all time points within either group (P ＞ 0.05).There were no significant differences in serum MDA,SOD,TNF-α and IL-8 levels at T1 between the 2 groups (P＞ 0.05).The serum MDA,TNF-α and IL-8 levels were significantly lower and the serum SOD level significantly higher in the DEX group than in the control group at T2,T3 and T4,respectively (P ＜0.05).In both groups,the serum MDA,TNF-α and IL-8 levels were significantly higher and the serum SOD level significantly lower at T2,T3 and T4 than at T1,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can reduce the oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine level which are caused by tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To compare the anesthetic effects of remifentanil and fentanyl in elderly patient undergoing transurethral electro-vaporization of the prostate.Methods Eighty cases of the elderly patients (age ≥60 years) with transurethral resection of the prostate operation in the hospital were randomly divided into remifentanil group(R group,n =40) and fentanyl group (F group,n =40).Patients in R group and F group were administrated remifentanil and fentanyl respectively for induction and maintenance of anesthesia.The following indices were recorded including the changes of emodynamics (lood pressure,heart rate) in before-and after-anesthesia,postoperative recovery (spontaneous breathing recovery time,open the recovery time,extubation time) and the adverse reaction within 24 hours after operation (awareness during operation,nausea,vomiting).Results Blood pressures,heart rate of after-anesthesia in R group were lower than that in before-anesthesia and F group,the difference were significant(Blood pressures:F within group =58.306,P within group =0.000,F interactive group =142.450,p interactive group =0.000,F between group =7.417,P between group =0.010;heart rate:F within group =41.512,P within group =0.000,F interactive group =269.103,P interactive group =0.000,F between grouP =39.703,P between group =0.000).Spontaneous breathing recovery time,opening eye time and extubation time in group R were significantly shorter than that of F group (Spontaneous breathing recovery time:(7.5 ± 1.3) min vs.(10.7 ± 3.1) min,t =3.011 ; Opening eye time:(13.5 ± 3.2) min vs.(18.3 ± 5.2) min,t =2.611 ; Extubation time:(24.4 ± 5.5) min vs.(29.2 ± 7.1) min,t =2.696 ; all P ＜ 0.05).No significant differences were found in R and F group in terms of intraoperative awareness postoperative nausea,vomiting (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Remifentanil used in elderly patients with transurethral electro-vaporization of the prostate was safer and more effective than fentanyl.Meanwhile postoperative recovery in Remifentanil patient was more rapidly.Therefore Remifentanil was ideal drug during the process clinical anesthesia.

Objective To explore the anisodine hydrobromide injection on postoperative visual function recovery in patients with glaucoma.Methods Used retrospective analysis method, 18 cases, 25 eyes glaucoma patients from October 2012 to October 2015 in our hospital undergoing surgery treatment were randomly selected and their clinical data were analyzed.The patients received anisodine hydrobromide injection postoperative,and intraocular pressure andvision correction were compared before and after treatment.Results After treatment,the patient’ s average intraocular pressure was(13.64 ±2.35)mmHg,which was signigicantly lower than(36.68 ±3.56)mmHg before treatment(P <0.05);postoperative follow-up,vision correction of 14 cases(21 eyes) was above 0.3,accounted for 84%,which was statistically significant compared with the preoperative (P<0.05);there were 3 cases(4 eyes)of postoperative complications,including one eye with corneal edema,1 eye with anterior chamber bleeding,2 eyes for fiber exudative inflammation, the complication rate was 16%.Conclusion Postoperative patients with compound anisodine hydrobromide injection adjuvant therapy has significant clinical effect, not only could significantly improve the patient ’ s visual function, and reduce incidence of postoperative complications with high security.

Objective: To investigate the possible mechanisms in acupuncture analgesia by interaction of &opioid receptor with neurotransmitter transport proteins or the Na+-K+pump. Methods: Microinjection of respective heterologous cRNA into the Xenopus oocytes as a model system, and measurement of steady-state currents under two-electrode voltage clamp. Results: The co-expression of the δ-opioid receptor with GAT1, EAAC1 or the sodium pump resulted in reducing activity of the respective transporter. Opioid receptor activation affected transporter activity in different ways: 1) GAT1 was further inhibited; 2) EAAC1 was stimulated; 3) Na+-K+ pump activity interfered with agonist sensitivity of DOR. Pump inhibition led to higher sensitivity for DPDPE. Conclusion: GABA transporter inhibition and glutamate transporter stimulation may counteract pain sensation by affecting the neurotransmitter concentration in the synaptic cleft and, therefore, may contribute synergistically to pain suppression by acupuncture. Sodium pump inhibition by endogenous ouabain may amplify these effects. These synergistic effects may be the molecular mechanism of inhibiting pain sense and/or acupuncture analgesia.

Objective:To observe the effect of intravenous anesthesia with target-controlled infusion (TCI) of remifentanil combined with propofol on hemodynamics in middle-aged and elderly patients with intracranial aneurysm clipping. Methods:Totally 40 cases of middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm clipping were divided into combined anesthesia group and propofol group according to the random number table. The combined anesthesia group was treated with remifentanil combined with propofol target intravenous anesthesia, and propofol group was treated with propofol intravenous hypotension. The changes of mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),cardiac output(CO) and heart index(CI) before the induction of anesthesia (T1), tracheal intubation (T2), before aneurysm clipping(T3), after aneurysm clipping(T4) and extubation (T5) were observed. The anesthesia maintenance time, extubation time, postoperative wake-up time and adverse reactions were compared. Results:There were no significant differences in MAP and HR between the groups(P > 0.05), the levels of MAP,HR,CO and CI at T2,T3and T4were significantly lower than those at T1,and CO and CI were significantly lower in combined group than those in propofol group(P < 0.05). Conclusion:TCI remifentanil combined with propofol can maintain hemodynamic stability, shorten extubation time and wake-up time, and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions in the patients with intracranial aneurysm clipping.

Objective To study the role of leucine rich repeat neuronal 3 (LRRN3) in the prolif-eration of non-small cell lung cancer and its possible mechanism of expression regulation. Methods The expression of LRRN3 in non-small cell lung cancer was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( qPCR) , immunohistochemistry and bioinformatics retrieval;A lung cancer cell line A549-LRRN3 with stable over-expression of LRRN3 was established by lentivirus over-expression technology;The effect of LRRN3 on the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) assay;Bioinformatics search for changes in methylation of LRRN3 promoter region and treatment of lung cancer cells by methyltransferase inhibitors to detect the effect of methylation on the regulation of LR-RN3 expression; Finally, bioinformatics search analyzes the correlation between LRRN3 and lung cancer prognosis. Results The mRNA expression of LRRN3 in clinical tissues of non-small cell lung cancer (n=12) was significantly lower than that of adjacent normal tissues (n=12) (P=0. 0014). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the protein expression level of LRRN3 in non-small cell lung adenocar-cinoma was lower than that in normal tissues (P=0. 001), and the expression in non-small cell lung squa-mous cell carcinoma was also lower than that in normal tissues (P=0. 003). Overexpression of LRRN3 in-hibited the proliferation of tumor cells (P<0. 01), and the hypermethylation of LRRN3 in the promoter re-gion inhibited its transcriptional expression. LRRN3 was positively correlated with the survival prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (P=5. 2e-09;HR=0. 48). Conclusions Hypermethylation in the promoter region of LRRN3 inhibits its transcriptional expression, thereby promoting the proliferation of lung cancer cells.

Objective This study was to assess the efficacy of corneal collagen cross-linking treatment on fungal keratitis.Methods Eighty SPF male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected for the experiment.Fusarium solani infected model was established on the left eyes of all 80 mice.Forty mice were distributed randomly into sham operation group,model control group,scraped epithelium group and corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL)group (treated with epithelium scraped and CXL).Three days after modeling,the levels of the corncal disease sevcrity were scored by slit lamp microscopy.The fungal activity was confirmed by plate counts.The left 40 mice were divided randomly into sham operation group,model control group,scraped epithelium group and CXL group (treated with epithelium scraped and CXL).In 1 day and 2,3,4,5,6,7,14 days after modeling,the corneas were examined under the slit lamp microscope.The corneal pathological examination of each group were conducted with hematoxylin and eosin staining at postoperative 14 days.The animal feeding and use was in accordance with the standards set by the ARVO,and the experiment was approved by the Ethic Committee for Experimental Animal of Henan Eye Institute.Results The colony-forming units (CFUs) of fungal solutions in culture significantly decreased with CXL treatment (F =11.97,P =0.00).The Pearson correlation analysis of CFU and clinical scores in CXL group showed that inflammatory cells infiltration was positively correlated with corneal disease severity (r =0.723,P =0.043).Corneal inflammatory score was significantly lower in the CXL group in various time points,with a significant differences among the groups and time points (Fgroup =34.44,P=0.00;Ftime =17.49,P=0.00).Corneal lesion and the depth of ulceration in scraped epithelium group and CXL group were remarkably lower than that in the model control group (all at P ＜ 0.05).Histopathology revealed that the degree of corneal collagen fibers destruction and the ratio of inflammatory cells infiltration in scraped epithelium group (59.33％) and CXL group (11.29％) were much lower than that in the model control group (73.65％).Conclusions CXL can inhibit the fungal activity effectively in the cornea of mice,and reduce the fungal induced keratitis reaction.
