Objective:To evaluate the effect of controlled low central venous pressure with milrinone on laparoscopic hepatectomy in the patients.Methods:Fifty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ-Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of Child-Pugh grade A or B, undergoing elective laparoscopic hepatectomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=25 each) using a random number table method: milrinone group (group M) and nitroglycerin group (group NG). After the start of surgery, milrinone 0.5 μg·kg -1·min -1 was continuously infused in group M, and nitroglycerin was continuously infused with the initial dose of 0.5 μg·kg -1·min -1 to maintain central venous pressure (CVP)≤5 mmHg in group NG.Mean arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded on admission to the operation room (T 0), at skin incision (T 1), at the beginning of liver resection (T 2), at completion of liver resection (T 3), at the end of operation (T 4), and CVP, cardiac index and stroke volume variation were recorded at T 1-4.Internal jugular vein blood samples were collected to determine the concentrations of hemogloblin, blood lactate at T 1 and T 4, and serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and creatinine concentrations at 1, 3 and 7 days after surgery.The score of blood oozing in hepatic surgical field, amount of norepinephrine used, blood loss, postoperative recovery and occurrence of complications within 7 days after operation were recorded. Results:Compared with group NG, cardiac index was significantly increased at T 2, 3, the CVP was decreased at T 2, the blood oozing score, blood loss, consumption of norepinephrine, and concentrations of blood lactate were decreased, and the postoperative drainage indwelling time was shortened in group M ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and creatinine concentrations and incidence of postoperative complications at 1, 3 and 7 days after operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Milrinone is better than nitroglycerin in decreasing central venous pressure, reducing blood loss, maintaining stable circulatory function and tissue perfusion in laparoscopic hepatectomy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on reducing urethral stimulation in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.Methods:From January 2019 to February 2020, 90 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were selected. They were randomly divided into 3 groups: catheterization before induction (group A), catheterization during induction (group B), and catheterization after induction (group C). In group A, patients received general anesthesia after awake catheterization. In group B, intravenous injection of DEX 0.5 μg/kg was pumped for 10 minutes, followed by catheterization and induction. In group C, patients received general anesthesia and then catheterization. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score of urethral stimulation, morphine dosage and the incidence of agitation during resuscitation were recorded. The heart rate and mean arterial pressure of the three groups were compared at the time of entering the room, catheterization, tracheal intubation, entering postanesthesia care unit (PACU), about extubation and 30 minutes after extubation.Results:The fluctuation of blood pressure and heart rate in group B was significantly less than that in group A and group C at the time of extubation and 30 minutes after extubation ( P<0.05). VAS of urethral stimulation in group B [(2.9±0.9)point] was significantly lower than that in group A [(4.4±1.8)point] when catheter was indwelling ( P<0.05). After extubation, VAS in group B [(2.8±1.1)point] was significantly lower than that in group A [(3.2±1.2)point] and C [(5.2±1.8)point] ( P<0.05). The utilization rate of morphine within 24 hours after surgery in group B (10%) was significantly lower than that in the other two groups (40%, 57%), and the incidence of postoperative agitation in group A and B was lower than that in group C within PACU ( P<0.05). The satisfaction of patients in group B (86.7%) was higher than that in group A (70%) and C (46.7%). The satisfaction of PACU personnel in group A (76.7%) and B (80%) was significantly higher than that in group C (43.3%). Conclusions:Sedation with dexmedetomidine during urethral catheterization can reduce urethral stimulation during resuscitation and improve patients' and PACU staffs' satisfaction.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of pharmacist intervention in perioperative prophylactic application of antibiotics. Methods: From August 2017 to August 2018, 148 cases received surgery in Zhejiang Rongjun Hospital were selected, using odd-even grouping method, the patients were divided into two groups, with 74 cases in each group.The control group used antibacterial drugs without pharmacists intervention, the observation group used antibacterial drugs through pharmacists intervention.The use of antimicrobial agents was compared between the two groups. Results: The duration of prophylactic medication, the duration of hospitalization in the observation group were (2.59±0.24)d, (8.47±0.83)d, respectively, which in the control group were (3.76±0.36)d, (10.74±1.32)d, respectively, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=23.262, 12.523, all P<0.01). The total cost of antibacterial drugs and the total drug cost in the observation group were (778.62±76.35)CNY, (3 036.75±302.11)CNY, respectively, which in the control group were (1 063.26±105.32)CNY, (4 698.64±1 452.28)CNY, respectively, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=18.823, 9.638, all P<0.01). The antibacterial drug use satisfaction of the observation group was 97.30%(72/74), which of the control group was 74.32%(55/74), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ²=16.038, P<0.01). Conclusion The rational use of antibiotics can be promoted by pharmacist intervention in perioperative prophylaxis patients.

Objective To observe the effects of massage on inflammation,oxidative stress and autophagy during the repair of acute contusion of skeletal muscles so as to explore its biological mechanisms.Methods Forty-two adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (n =6),a model group (n =18),and a treatment group (n =18).Acute contusion of the gastrocnemius muscles of the rats in the model and treatment groups was inflicted using a home-made impactor.Beginning forty-eight hours later,15 minutes of massage was administered daily for two weeks.After one,7 and 14 days of the massage treatment,the injured gastrocnemius was resected from 6 rats of both the model and treatment groups.Morphological changes were observed using haematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining.The serum content of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),interleukin1β (IL-1 β),C reactive protein (CRP) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The serum content of superoxide (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected using spectrophotometry.The expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3),Bcl-2 homeodomain protein Beclin1 and ubiquitin binding protein P62 were detected using Western blotting.Results The HE staining showed more significant collapse and swelling of cells in the model group than in the control group at each time point.New muscle cells were observed at days 7 and 14 in the model group.At each time point,significantly better recovery was observed in the treatment group compared to the model group,with more new muscle cells and better cell morphology.According to the ELISA results,a significant increase in serum pro-inflammatory factors occurred in the model group compared to the control group and compared to the treatment group after one day and 7 days of treatment.The average serum content of SOD and MDA in the model group was significantly higher than in the control group,while the average serum content of SOD in the treatment group was significantly higher than in the model group and that of MDA was significantly lower.Western blotting showed a significant decrease in LC3 (Ⅱ/Ⅰ) and Beclin1,as well as a significant increase in P62 in the model group at each time point compared with the treatment group and the controls.Conclusion Inflammation and oxidative stress increase significantly in a skeletal muscle after injury,but autophagy decreases significantly.Massage can effectively reduce the inflammatory response and oxidative stress and promote autophagy,which leads to quicker repair of skeletal muscles.

Objective To study the mechanism of lidocaine injection in the alleviation of pains of propofol injection. Methods 430 patients, who underwent elective gastrointestinal endoscopy under general anesthesia , were randomly assigned into 3 groups: group A received 2 mL NS intravenous injection on the right dorsal hand;group B received 40 mg Lidocaine intravenous injection on the right dorsal hand and group C received 40 mg lidocaine intravenous injection on the left dorsal hand. All groups received 2 mg/kg Propofol intravenous injectionon the right dorsal hand at the rate of 20 mL/min. The injection pains were evaluated while the dosage reached 1/4 of the total (2 mg/kg). The left dosage of Propofol and 50 μg Fentanil were pumped after evaluation. Propofol dosage was added when needed. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR ) were recorded before Propofol injection and 1, 3, 5 minutes after Propofol injection. Results VRS comparisons: Tthe rate of pain incidence of group B was significantly lower than those of group A and C. MAP were declined dramatically at the time points of 1 minute, 3 minutes and 5 minutes after propofol injection, as compared to before propofol injection. The HR was declined dramatically 5 minutes after propofol injection. Conclusion Intravenous Lidocaine of 40 mgcould reduce Propofol-induced injection pain of the same vein. Local effect of Lidocaine but not its systemic function may play an important role in reducing Propofol-induced injection pain.
