Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2024;31(4):533-537
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of preemptive analgesia with pentazocine on perioperative pain management in partial splenectomy.Methods:A total of 100 patients with traumatic splenic rupture who underwent partial splenectomy at Yiwu Central Hospital between October 2019 and November 2021 were randomly assigned to either the control group or the study group, with 50 patients in each group using the random number table method. Both groups received patient-controlled analgesia postoperatively. Additionally, the study group received intravenous pentazocine administration before surgery. The amount of anesthetic used during surgery, postoperative anesthesia recovery indices, postoperative pain response, serum inflammatory factor levels, and the number of effective patient-controlled analgesia pump presses within 48 hours postoperatively were recorded and evaluated. Any adverse drug reactions were also monitored.Results:The dosages of propofol [(462.24 ± 27.13) mg] and remifentanil [(365.98 ± 26.78) μg] in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(511.82 ± 26.32) mg, (406.86 ± 26.08) μg, t = 14.49, 12.63, both P < 0.001). The recovery time of spontaneous breathing [(6.86 ± 0.97) minutes], anesthesia recovery time [(13.24 ± 0.82) minutes] and extubation time [(17.14 ± 1.07) minutes] were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(7.62 ± 0.90) minutes, (14.32 ± 0.84) minutes, (18.22 ± 1.06) minutes, t = 5.80, 8.58, 6.93, all P < 0.001]. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 24 and 48 hours after surgery, both in resting and coughing state ( t = 7.82, 9.31, 4.95, 8.47, all P < 0.001). The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1, and interleukin-6 were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group ( t = 21.53, 25.61, 18.45, 16.90, 17.33, 14.86, all P < 0.001), while the serum level of interleukin-10 was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group ( t = -20.85, -19.61, both P < 0.001). The number of effective patient-controlled pump analgesia presses within 48 hours postoperatively in the study group [(6.24 ± 1.17) times] was significantly lower than that in the control group [(10.26 ± 1.34) times, t = 12.95, P < 0.05). In addition, the overall incidence of adverse drug reactions in the study group [4.00% (2/50)] was significantly lower than that in the control group [18.00% (9/50), χ2 = 5.01, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Preemptive analgesia with pentazocine for patients undergoing partial splenectomy can effectively reduce the dosage of anesthetics during surgery and the dosage of analgesics after surgery, enhance the recovery from postoperative anesthesia, suppress postoperative inflammatory reactions, alleviate pain responses, and minimize the risk of adverse drug reactions.
6.Correlation between cognitive impairment and event-related potential P300 in patients with acute ischemic stroke-related obstructive sleep apnea
Journal of Xinxiang Medical College 2024;41(7):651-656
Objective To explore the corr-elation between cognitive impairment and event-related potential P300 in patients with acute ischemic stroke-related obstructive sleep apnea(OSA).Methods A total of 114 patients with acute ischemic stroke-related OSA admitted to the Department of Neurology of Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine of Hebei from January 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the research subjects.Patients with cognitive impairment were included in the observation group(n=38),and patients without cognitive impairment were included in the control group(n=76).A standardized mini-mental state examination(MMSE)was used to test the cognitive function of patients in the two groups,and the MMSE scores of patients in the two groups were compared.The brain regions affected by infarct lesions of patients in the two groups were examined by using cranial magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging and magnetic resonance imaging.The SC-500 non-contact,non-intrusive sleep monitoring sensor mattress was used to screen and assess stroke-related OSA in the two groups.The American Nerosscan 64-channel 10/20 electroencephalographic system was employed to detect event-related potential P300 of patients in the two groups.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to examine the correlation between cognitive impairment and event-related potential P300 in patients with acute ischemic stroke-related OSA.Results The total MMSE score and the scores in each dimension,including orientation,immediate memory,attention and calculation,recall ability,and language ability of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Age,proportions with a history of diabetes,hyperhomocysteinemia,and apnea-hypopnea index(AHI)of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,while the years of education was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The proportions of patients with infarct lesions located in the frontal lobe,temporal lobe,parietal lobe,occipital lobe,thalamus,basal ganglia,brainstem,and centrum semiovale in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The P300 latency in the prefrontal,central,and parietal regions of patients in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group(P<0.05).The P300 amplitude in the central and parietal regions of patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the years of education was a protective factor against cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke-related OSA(P<0.05).Thalamic infarction,high AHI,and prolonged P300 latency in the parietal region were independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke-related OSA(P<0.05).Conclusion Patients with acute ischemic stroke-related OSA are prone to cognitive impairment in multiple domains.The P300 latency in the parietal region is closely associated with cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke-related OSA and serves as an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment in these patients.

Organoids are three-dimensional (3D) biological structures constructed in vitro by stem cells, which partially mimic the function of real organs. Brain organoids are an extremely important branch of organoid research. This technology can differentiate pluripotent stem cells into the required cell types in a 3D culture environment, and self-assemble into structural bodies, but it is currently unable to fully replicate the structural and physiological features of the real human brain. The maturity of brain organoids may form consciousness, which poses ethical issues such as determining moral status and informed consent in brain organoids research. This paper elaborated on the research progress and future development direction of brain organoids, and proposed multidimensional governance strategies for ethical issues faced in brain organoids research from the perspectives of ethical principles, ensuring public informed consent, and legal supervision. By exploring the above issues, reference will be provided for formulating ethical principles to guide the research and application of brain organoids in the future.
