Objective:To evaluate the effect of different doses of compound sodium chloride injection combined with norepinephrine on prevention of hypotension after lumbar anesthesia in the patients undergoing caesarean section.Methods:A total of 150 patients with a singleton fetus, aged 18-45 yr, at ≥37 weeks of gestation, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, with height ≥150 cm, weighing ≤100 kg, with body mass index < 40 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective caesarean section under lumbar anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups ( n=50 each) by the random number table method: compound sodium chloride injection 4, 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 groups (group A, group B, group C). Compound sodium chloride injection 4 ml/kg was intravenously injected for liquid preload before lumbar anesthesia, and 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 12.5 mg was injected to the subarachnoid space for lumbar anesthesia. Norepinephrine was intravenously injected at a dose of 6 μg immediately after intrathecal injection, followed by an infusion of 0.05 μg·kg -1·min -1, and infusion was stopped at 5 min after delivery. Compound sodium chloride injection was intravenously infused simultaneously at a rate of 4, 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 in A, B and C groups, respectively. The maximum diameter of inferior vena cava (IVCmax) and the minimum diameter of inferior vena cava (IVCmin) were measured by ultrasound, and inferior vena cava collapse index (IVC-CI) was calculated at 1 min before fluid preload (T 1), immediately after fluid preload (T 2), at 5 min after anesthesia (T 3), at 5 min after fetal delivery (T 4) and immediately before leaving the operating room (T 5). The incidence of intraoperative adverse events (hypotension, severe hypotension, bradycardia, hypertension, nausea, and vomiting) and neonatal outcomes (umbilical artery blood gas index and Apgar score at 1 and 5 min after birth) were recorded. Results:Compared with group A, IVCmin was significantly increased and IVC-CI was decreased at T 5 in group B, and IVCmin and IVCmax were significantly increased and IVC-CI was decreased at T 5 in group C ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in IVCmax, IVCmin and IVC-CI at each time point between group B and group C ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of hypotension, severe hypotension, bradycardia, hypertension, nausea and vomiting among the three groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the results of blood gas analysis of the umbilical artery and Apgar score at each time point after birth among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compound sodium chloride injection 4, 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 combined with norepinephrine can effectively prevent the occurrence of hypotension after lumbar anesthesia in the patients undergoing caesarean section without increasing maternal and infant adverse events, and the effect of 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 for volume supplementation is better than that of 4 ml·kg -1·h -1.

Objective :
To investigate the expression of N6-methyladenosine modification ( m6 A) and related en- zymes FTO,METTL3 and YTHDF2 in gastric epithelial cells infected with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) ,and to analyze its expression and clinical significance in gastric cancer by using online websites.
Methods :
Gastric epithelial cells GES-1 and AGS were infected with Hp GZ7 strain,and the multiplicity of infection was 30 ∶ 1.Total RNA and total protein were collected after infecting 24 h,and the m6 A modification level of total RNA was detected by RNA dot hybridization.The mRNA and protein expressions of FTO ,METTL3 and YTHDF2 were detected by q-PCR and Western blot.The expression difference of FTO,METTL3 and YTHDF2 in gastric cancer tissues and normal tissues and their expression in Stage classification were analyzed by GEPIA,and the relationship between the expression of FTO,METTL3 and YTHDF2 and prognosis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier Plotter.
Results :
Compared with the un- infected group,the m6 A modification level of total RNA in both Hp-infected GES-1 and AGS cells significantly de- creased,the mRNA and protein expression levels of FTO increased,and the mRNA and protein levels of METTL3 and YTHDF2 decreased,with statistical significance (P<0. 05) .The expression level of FTO in gastric cancer tis- sues was higher than that in normal tissues,with statistical significance (P<0. 05) ,YTHDF2 was higher than that in normal tissues,with no statistical significance,and the expression level of METTL3 was lower than that in nor- mal tissues,with no statistical significance.Patients with high expression of FTO and METTL3 had a lower survival rate,while patients with high expression of YTHDF2 had a higher survival rate.The expression of FTO was signifi- cantly correlated with Stage classification (P<0. 05) ,while the expression of METTL3 and YTHDF2 was not sig- nificantly correlated with Stage classification.
Conclusion
Hp infection can change the level of m6 A and the ex- pression of related enzymes FTO,YTHDF2 and METTL3,suggesting that m6 A methylation may play a role in the occurrence and development of Hp-induced gastric cancer.

Chinese Journal of Endocrine Surgery 2022;16(2):174-179
Objective:To investigate the effect of ketamine on dryness maintenance of breast cancer (BC) cells by regulating LncRNA PVT1/MYC axis.Methods:BC cell line MCF-7 was treated with different concentration of ketamine (0, 5, 10 or 20 g/ml) or treated with 20g/ml ketamine for different periods (0, 24, 48 or 72h) . Furthermore, the expression of METTL3, PVT1 and MYC in MCF-7 cells was interfered and MCF-7 cells were divided into different groups.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of stem cell characteristic related molecules (OCT4 and SOX2) . The expression level of PVT1/MYC in each group was detected by qRT-PCR. MeRIP analysis was used to detect THE m6A methylation level of PVT1.Results:Ketamine treatment significantly reduced the number of BC globules and inhibited the protein expression of OCT4 and SOX2 in a dose-and time-dependent manner (all P<0.05) . Ketamine regulated m6A level of METTL3-mediated PVT1. Compared with ketamine+pcDNA3.1 group (207±11) , the number of globules formed in ketamine+PVT1 group (311±15) was significantly increased ( t=12.06, P<0.001) , and the protein expression levels of OCT4 and SOX2 were increased ( t=9.68, P<0.001; t=11.50, P<0.001) . MYC was a downstream regulatory gene of PVT1. Compared with ketamine+PVT1+ Si-NC group, ketamine+PVT1+si-MYC group significantly reduced the number of spheroid formation ( t=0.54, P=0.005) and the expression levels of OCT4 and SOX2 proteins ( t=5.98, P=0.004) ( t=7.33, P=0.002) . Conclusion:Ketamine mediates the expression of PVT1 and its downstream gene MYC by inhibiting THE m6A level of PVT1, thus inhibiting the stem cell-like characteristics of BC cells.

Objective:To explore the effects of fast-track surgery (FTS) combined with acupuncture at Neiguan acupoint on stress indicators and recovery quality in patients during anesthesia of craniocerebral surgery.Methods:According to block randomization method, 120 patients with craniocerebral trauma meeting inclusion criteria in the hospital were divided into three groups between January 2018 and December 2020, 40 in each group. The control group was given routine awakening intervention, intervention 1 group was given routine awakening intervention and acupuncture at Neiguan acupoint, and intervention 2 group was given FTS and treatment of intervention 1 group. At 10 min after entering the room, immediately after tracheal intubation and immediately after extubation, level of serum cortisol (COR) was detected by electrochemical luminescence apparatus. The level of serum dopamine was detected by ELISA. The blood pressure and heart rates were recorded. The recovery quality during anesthesia was compared, including recovery time, recovery time of spontaneous breathing, extubation time and recovery time of orientation. The cognitive function of patients was evaluated by Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination (NSCE). The incidence of intestinal paralysis, nausea and vomiting, and hospitalization time were observed and recorded during treatment.Results:Immediately after tracheal intubation and extubation, systolic blood pressure in intervention 2 group, intervention 1 group and control group were significantly decreased ( F=12.03, 13.96), levels of serum COR ( F=91.40, 53.76), and dopamine ( F=29.72, 69.39) were significantly decreased ( P<0.01). The recovery time of orientation during anesthesia [(39.09±3.12)min vs. (41.57±3.54)min, (43.84±3.28)min, F=34.65] in intervention 2 group was significantly shorter than that of the intervention 1 group and control group ( P<0.01), and hospitalization time [(9.36±1.78)d vs. (10.92±1.81)d, (12.10±1.95)d, F=1.44] was significantly shorter than that of the intervention 1 group and control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The FTS combined with acupuncture at Neiguan acupoint can reduce stress level during anesthesia, improve recovery quality and relieve postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing craniocerebral surgery.

Objective:
To explore the associations between sleep duration and negative emotions among junior college students,and to provide reference for mental health promotion among college students.
Methods:
Cluster sampling method were used to select 2 524 freshmen from a college in Huainan, Anhui Province. Questionnaires were used to investigate general demographic characteristics, sleep timing, negative emotions and other information. The restricted cubic spline and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between sleep duration and negative emotion among junior college students.
Results:
The prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, stress associated symptoms were 19.41%(490), 28.2%(713), 9.9%(250) respectively.The prevalence of negative emotions was higher among boys(24.3%,34.0%,19.1%) than girls(18.7%,27.4%,8.5%). The differences between groups were statistically significant( P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, sleep duration and negative emotions showed a non linear dose response relationship. Compared with the reference group(8-<9 h), sleep duration <7 h was significantly associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms and stress symptoms, and <8 h was associated with an increased risk of anxiety symptoms. The additional sleep time on weekends ≥5 h was associated with negative emotions compared with the reference group(<1 h)( P <0.01).
Conclusion
Short sleep duration and extra weekend sleep are associated with negative emotions. Reasonable sleep schedule among junior college students might be helpful for the prevention and control of negative emotions.

Objective:To discuss how to avoid the occurrence of adverse events and provides basis for improving the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) transport safety management to formulate the corresponding preventive measures through analyzing the causes and characteristics of adverse events in transport of ECMO.Methods:By using a self-designed ECMO transport observation table to collect data, with a retrospective study of adverse events in patients with ECMO transport in ECMO center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from January 2013 to June 2017, carrying out classification and analysis according to the causes of adverse events and the potential risks of the patients, thus put forward the feasible preventive measures.Results:There were 53 cases of ECMO transport in study period, with 18 cases (33.96%) of adverse events, among which the incidence of adverse events in inner-hospital transport was 34.21% (13/38) and that in inter-hospital transport was 33.33% (5/15). There was no patient died in ECMO transport. In the adverse events of ECMO transport, the main causes were related to transport staff, transport equipment and patient, which accounting for 1/3 of each. Among them, the most prominent was 4 cases (22.22%) of equipment lacking and 3 cases of battery and power supply (16.67%). In classification according to the risk degree of patients, 6 cases (33.33%) of third grade risk were found.Conclusions:It is safe and feasible to carry out ECMO transport in inner-hospital transport and inter-hospital transport based on ECMO transport team and transport process of this hospital. However the unexpected events of high risk or crisis of life is inevitable in ECMO transport. Through standardized training for ECMO team, with full assessment before transport, by the use of ECMO checklist and strict implementation of various transport processes and specifications, the incidence of adverse events in ECMO transport may be reduced.
