Objective To observe the effect of ketamine preemptive analgesia on postoperative pain and recovery in laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods Eighty LC patients under general anesthesia with propofol and remifentany were randomly divided into two groups of PR and PRK with 40 cases each. The patients in group PRK were given additional low-dose ketamine 0.3 mg/kg before skin incision. Recovery from anesthesia was evaluated at 30 min, 1 h and 12 h after surgery by SS and VRS scoring. Results There were no significant differences in the time for regaining spontaneous breathing,opening eyes and extubation between the two groups. But recovery of anesthesia was with less restlessness and VRS pain scores, better sedation in group PRK than those in group PR (P< 0.05). Conclusion Preemptive intravenous analgesia with low-dose ketamine has the advantage of quicker recovery from anesthesia with less incidence of restlessness and pain in LC patients.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of and therapeutic approaches to deep venous thrombosis(DVT)caused by pelvic tumors,in the fact that some patients with pelvic tumors may present DVT as the first sign of the tumor. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients admitted between January 1997 and April 2009 suffering from pelvic tumor induced DVT were analvzed retrospectively.Result In all of these 36 patients,the occurrence of limb sweUing wag chronic and progressive with insidious onset.Regular DVT treatment Was given to 25 cases yielding no effect before the cause Was revealed.Ultrasound and CT were used for detection of the pelvic tumor.and compression of the iliac vein by the tumor was detected in an the cases.Pelvic tumor resection with iliac vein ligation was done in 29 cases(5 cases had iliac artery reconstruction with prothesis graft),in the remaining cases the pelvictumors were left untreated. Elastic stocking compression and venotropie preparations. microcirculation-improving agents were routinely applied in all the pafients.All the cases got improvement with different degrees.Conclusion DVT Call be a precursor of pelvic tumors.A thorough consideration of this posibility Is important when limb swelling Was chronic and progressive,or no improvement was observed after regular DVT treatment.Surgical resection of the pelvic tumors and conservative therapy of the involved limb is the therapeutic principle.

The purpose of this paper was to find a safe and effective concentration of lido- caine in intravenous combining anesthesia.33 cases had been maintained with the intravenous instillation of 0.5% lidocaine and 0.1% scotine the lidocaine concentrations at the period of after introduction,30',60',90',120'and recovery were measured respectively.The safty and effective range of this drug would be 2.1—5?g/ml. Also,in this paper,the relationship between the rate of instilation and the concentration of Lidocaine was studied.There was a positive correlation between the drope per minute amd the concentration during the period of the first 60 minutes. After 90 minutes from the beginning,there was no linear correlation.If we want to maintain the safty and effective blood concentration(2.1—5?g/ml), the necessary rate of instillation is 46?10 drops/minute during the first 60 minutes and 27.8?5 drops/minute after 90 minutes.This result shows that lidocaine is easy to accumulate obviously in the body.If we want the patient to recover at the time of the operation just performed,we must stop this drug 50 miuutes before the operation is finished.

Objective:Human leukocyte antigen(HLA)B27 is a susceptibility allele of ankylosing spondylitis(AS),and HLA-B27 antigen typing is an important indicator for clinical diagnosis of AS,but current typing methods such as sequence specific primer polymerase chain reaction(PCR-SSP)still possess limitation.Therefore,this study aims to analyze the correlation between B27 subtypes and susceptibility to AS in Hunan Province by applying high-resolution polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing(PCR-SBT). Methods:Peripheral blood of 116 patients with suspected AS(suspected AS group)and 121 healthy volunteers(control group)admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were collected for HLA-B genotyping by PCR-SBT.Among the patients in the suspected AS group,23 patients were finally diagnosed with AS(confirmed AS group),and the remaining 93 undiagnosed patients served as the non-confirmed AS group.PCR-SBT and PCR-SSP were used to detect HLA-B27 typing in 116 patients with suspected AS,and the results of the 2 methods were compared. Results:The HLA-B27 allele frequency in the suspected AS group was significantly higher than that in the control group[11.63%vs 2.48%;P<0.001,odds ratio(OR)=5.18,95%confidence interval(CI)2.097 to 12.795].B*27:04,B*27:05,B*27:06,and B*27:07 were detected in the suspected AS group and the control group.The frequency of the B*27:04 allele in the suspected AS group was significantly higher than that in the control group(9.48%vs 1.24%;P<0.001,OR=8.346,95%CI 2.463 to 28.282).The positive rate of B27 in the suspected AS group and the confirmed AS group(B27+/+ and B27+/-)was significantly higher than that in the control group(χ2=16.579,P<0.001;χ2=94.582,P<0.001,respectively).Among the confirmed AS group,21 were HLA-B27 carriers,and the B27 positive rate in the confirmed AS group was 91.3%.PCR-SBT could achieve high resolution typing of the HLA-B gene locus,with higher sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and accuracy than PCR-SSP. Conclusion:PCR-SBT typing analysis shows a strong correlation between HLA-B * 27:04 and AS in Hunan province.The PCR-SBT method can be used as the preferred option for the auxiliary diagnosis of clinical AS.

Objective:To investigate the effect of positive and negative pressure extubation on mechanical ventilation patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was performed, 105 ICU patients who successfully passed the spontaneous breathing test (SBT) after mechanical ventilation of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from January 2019 to March 2021 were enrolled. According to random number table method, they were randomly divided into positive pressure extubation group (53 cases) and negative pressure extubation group (52 cases). During extubation, all patients were placed in semi-decubitus position (raising the head of bed at an angle range from 30°- 45°), the secretions from mouth, nose, throat and trachea were removed. In the negative pressure extubation group, the sputum suction tube was inserted into the tracheal tube and passed over the distal opening to carry out continuous negative pressure suction in the tracheal tube after disconnecting the ventilator. Meanwhile, after the tracheal tube balloon was evacuated, the sputum suction tube was pulled out together with the tracheal tube. In the positive pressure extubation group, the patients were guided to inspiratory forcibly under the original SBT mode. When the patients reached the inspiratory peak, the ballon was evacuated and the tracheal tube was removed. After extubation, all patients were given nasal catheter oxygen inhalation (oxygen flow 5 L/min). Arterial blood gas analysis indexes [pH value, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2) and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2)] were recorded 5 minutes and 1 hour after extubation in both groups. Vital signs (including tachypnea, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure and decreased oxygen saturation) and complications (including severe cough, airway hyperresponsiveness and pneumonia) were observed 30 minutes after extubation in both groups. Results:Five minutes after extubation, blood gas analysis showed that the PaO 2 of positive pressure extubation group was significantly higher than that of negative pressure extubation group [mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa): 123.4±30.2 vs. 111.0±21.1, P < 0.05], the pH value and PaCO 2 in positive pressure extubation group were slightly lower than that of negative pressure extubation group [pH value: 7.411±0.042 vs. 7.419±0.040, PaCO 2 (mmHg): 39.7±4.7 vs. 40.5±5.6], but the differences were not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). One hour after extubation, the pH value, PaO 2 and PaCO 2 in positive pressure extubation group were slightly lower than those in negative pressure extubation group, but the differences were not statistically significant. Within 30 minutes after extubation, the incedences of tachypnea, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure and oxygen desaturationin in positive pressure extubation group were significantly lower than those in negative pressure extubation group [tachypnea: 9.4% (5/53) vs. 28.8% (15/52), tachycardia: 15.1% (8/53) vs. 32.7% (17/52), elevated blood pressure: 11.3% (6/53) vs. 30.8% (16/52), oxygen desaturation: 7.5% (4/53) vs. 34.6% (18/52), all P < 0.05], the incidence of severe cough in positive pressure extubation group was significantly lower than that in negative pressure extubation group [9.4% (5/53) vs. 30.8% (16/52), P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications of airway hyperresponsiveness between the two groups [1.9% (1/53) vs. 5.8% (3/52), P > 0.05]. No pneumonia occurred in both groups within 48 hours after extubation. Conclusion:The positive pressure extubation method can ensure full oxygenation of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in ICU, avoid hypoxia, and reduce the occurrence of hypoxia and severe cough, which is more conducive to the stability of vital signs.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index in sepsis patients in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:A prospective case-control study was conducted, the patients admitted to ICU of Jiangbei People's Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from December 2016 to June 2020 were enrolled. According to the criteria of Sepsis 3, 107 patients diagnosed with sepsis were classified as the sepsis group, 112 patients without infection were classified as control group. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected within 24 hours after ICU admission, neutrophil CD64 index, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cell count (WBC) were detected. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index, CRP, PCT and WBC for sepsis.Results:The neutrophil CD64 index, CRP and PCT in sepsis group were significantly higher than those in control group [neutrophil CD64 index: 9.03±5.59 vs. 3.18±1.50, CRP (mg/L): 146.9±68.3 vs. 46.5±35.8, PCT (ng/L): 31.82±14.71 vs. 1.87±1.42, all P < 0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that neutrophil CD64 index, CRP and PCT had certain diagnostic value for sepsis, the area under ROC curve (AUC) were 0.924, 0.915 and 0.879, respectively, the 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were 0.871-0.978, 0.855-0.975, 0.807-0.951, respectively, P values were 0.016, 0.017 and 0.026, respectively. Among the three indicators, the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index was much higher. When the optimal cut-off value was 4.32, the sensitivity and specificity were 83.6% and 88.7%, respectively, which were higher than the sensitivity (75.1%, 76.3%) and specificity (87.2%, 82.5%) of CRP and PCT. Conclusion:Neutrophil CD64 index is a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis of sepsis in ICU.

BACKGROUND:
Immunotherapies such as adoptive immune cell infusion and immune-modulating agents are widely used for cancer treatment, and the concomitant symptoms, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or immune-related adverse events (irAEs), are frequently reported. However, clinical manifestations induced by mismatched donor granulocyte colony-stimulating factor mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cell (GPBMC) infusion in patients receiving microtransplant (MST) have not yet been well depicted.
METHODS:
We analyzed 88 cycles of mismatched GPBMC infusion in patients with acute myeloid leukemia receiving MST and 54 cycles of chemotherapy without GPBMC infusion as a comparison. Clinical symptoms and their correlation with clinical features, laboratory findings, and clinical response were explored.
RESULTS:
Fever (58.0% [51/88]) and chills (43.2% [38/88]) were the significant early-onset symptoms after GPBMC infusion. Patients possessing less human leukocyte antigen-matching loci with the donor or those with unrelated donors experienced more chills (3 [2-5] loci vs. 5 [3-5] loci, P = 0.043 and 66.7% [12/18] vs. 37.1% [26/70], P = 0.024). On the other hand, those with decreased CD4 + /CD8 + T-cell ratio developed more fever (0.8 [0.7-1.2] vs. 1.4 [1.1-2.2], P = 0.007). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that younger patients experienced more fever (odds ratio [OR] = 0.963, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.932-0.995, P = 0.022), while patients with younger donors experienced more chills (OR = 0.915, 95% CI: 0.859-0.975, P = 0.006). Elevated ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein levels in the absence of cytokine storm were observed following GPBMC infusion, which indicated mild and transient inflammatory response. Although no predictive value of infusion-related syndrome to leukemia burden change was found, the proportion of host pre-treatment activated T cells was positively correlated with leukemia control.
CONCLUSIONS
Mismatched GPBMC infusion in MST induced unique infusion-related symptoms and laboratory changes, which were associated with donor- or recipient-derived risk factors, with less safety and tolerance concerns than reported CRS or irAEs.
