Objective:To investigate the perioperative efficacy of robot surgical system assisted anatomic and non-anatomic hepatectomy.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 103 patients who underwent robot surgical system assisted hepatectomy in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Affiliated with the Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2016 to December 2021 were collected. There were 54 males and 49 females, aged 56(range, 44?64)years. Of the 103 patients, 55 cases undergoing robot surgical system assisted anatomic hepatectomy were divided into the anatomic group, and 48 cases undergoing robot surgical system assisted non-anatomic hepatectomy were divided into the non-anatomic group. Observation indicators: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative conditions; (3) perioperative complications. Propensity score matching was done by the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the rank sum test. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and compari-son of general data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 103 patients, 94 cases were successfully matched, including 47 cases in the anatomic group and 47 cases in the non-anatomic group. The elimination of preoperative body mass index, preoperative platelet and preoperative albumin confounding bias ensured comparability between the two groups after propensity score matching. (2) Intraoperative conditions. After propensity score matching, the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were 175(range, 120?240)minutes and 50(range, 50?100)mL in patients of the anatomic group, versus 155(range, 105?190)minutes and 100(range, 50?200)mL in patients of the non-anatomic group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=1.97, 2.49, P<0.05). (3) Perioperative complications. After propensity score matching, cases with pleural fluid and/or ascites, case with biliary fistula, case with thrombosis, case with peritoneal infection, case with incision infection were 11, 1, 2, 4, 1 in patients of the anatomic group, versus 12, 0, 4, 1, 0 in patients of the non-anatomic group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). Cases with complications classified as grade Ⅰ, grade Ⅱ, grade Ⅲ, grade Ⅳ of the Clavien-Dindo classification were 33, 14, 0, 0 in patients of the anatomic group, versus 28, 14, 3, 2 in patients of the non-anatomic group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=?1.38, P>0.05). Conclusions:Robotic surgical system assisted anatomic and non-anatomic hepatectomy are safe and feasible for clinical application. Compared with robot surgical system assisted non-anatomic hepatectomy, patients under-going robot surgical system assisted anatomic hepatectomy have long operation time and less volume of intraoperative blood loss.

BACKGROUND: Managing acute postoperative pain is challenging for anesthesiologists, surgeons, and patients, leading to adverse events despite making significant progress. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) is a recommended solution, where oxycodone has depicted unique advantages in recent years. However, controversy still exists in clinical practice and this study aimed to compare two drugs in PCIA. METHODS: We performed a literature search in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and VIP databases up to December 2020 to select specific randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of oxycodone with sufentanil in PCIA. The analgesic effect was the primary outcome and the secondary outcome included PCIA consumption, the Ramsay sedation scale, patients' satisfaction and side effects. RESULTS: Fifteen RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with sufentanil, oxycodone showed lower Numerical Rating Scale scores (mean difference [MD] = -0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.01 to -0.41; P < 0.001; I2 = 93%), demonstrated better relief from visceral pain (MD = -1.22, 95% CI: -1.58 to -0.85; P < 0.001; I2 = 90%), promoted a deeper sedative level as confirmed by the Ramsay Score (MD = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.35-1.19; P < 0.001; I2 = 97%), and resulted in fewer side effects (odds ratio [OR] = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.35-0.60; P < 0.001; I2 = 11%). There was no statistical difference in the degree of patients' satisfaction (OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 0.88-1.44; P = 0.33; I2 = 72%) and drug consumption (MD = -5.55, 95% CI: -14.18 to 3.08; P = 0.21; I2 = 93%). CONCLUSION: Oxycodone improves postoperative analgesia and causes fewer adverse effects, and could be recommended for PCIA, especially after abdominal surgeries.

Objective:To observe the effect of electroacupuncture(EA)combined with oriented conductive bio-protein hydrogel(OCBH)on the recovery of nerve function in rats with complete spinal cord injury(SCI)and to explore its effect and mechanism on the formation and changes of glial scars.Methods:A total of 72 female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into groups according to the treatment received.A rat model of complete SCI was constructed using a spinal cord transection.Behavioral assessments,hematoxylin-eosin(H&E)staining,immunofluorescence staining,and Western blotting were performed at a fixed period after the operation.Results:The material group and the material+EA group obtained better results in the behavioral as-sessments(all P＜.05)and the H&E staining.In the immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting,the GFAP protein was expressed more and denser in the material group and the material+EA group than in the model group,and the density of the GFAP expression in the material+EA group was lower at week 12 than in the material group(all P＜.05).The expression of complement C3 in the model,material,and material+EA groups decreased in turn.Some inflammatory factors and the NF-kB signaling pathway showed similar results in the Western blotting(all P＜.05).The expression of the GDNF protein in the material+EA group was significantly higher than that in the model group and the material group(both P＜.01).Conclusion:EA combined with OCBH can promote the recovery of motor functions after SCI by facili-tating the formation of glial scars in the early stage,preventing the further spread of an inflammatory response that would affect the activation of A1/A2 astrocytes and change the morphology of glial scars at the spinal cord-material interface in its late stage.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Shui medicine Asarum insigne polysaccharide on glycolipid metabolism,renal function and oxidative stress in rats with experimental type 2 diabetes,and provide reference for its development and use. METH-ODS:60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group,positive control group (Irbesartan tab-lets,0.02 g/kg) and A. insigne polysaccharide low-dose,medium-dose,high-dose groups (calculated by crude drug as 2,4,8 g/kg),10 in each group. Except for normal control group,rats in other groups were intraperitoneally injected streptozotocin 75 mg/(kg·d)to induce model with diabetes. After modeling,rats in each administration group were intraperitoneally injected relevant medicines,and rats in normal control group and model control group were intragastrically administrated 5% carboxymet hylcellu-lose sodium solution,twice a day,for 42 d. After administration,UV spectrophotometer was used to detect the glycogen content in liver tissue. Automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect 24 h urine output,24 h urinary protein content of rats,levels of tri-glyceride (TG),cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), creatinine (Cr),urea nitrogen (BUN) in serum,and levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase(CAT),superoxide dismutase(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA)in kidney tissue. RESULTS:Compared with normal con-trol group,glycogen content in liver tissue of rats in model control group was decreased(P<0.05);24 h urine output and 24 h uri-nary protein content were increased(P<0.05);levels of TG,TC,LDL-C in serum were increased(P<0.05),and HDL-C level was decreased (P<0.05);levels of SOD,CAT,GSH-Px in kidney tissue were decreased (P<0.05),and levels of ROS,MDA were increased(P<0.05). Compared with model group,except that there were no significant differences in the improvement of uri-nary protein content,HDL-C level in serum,24 h urine out-put in A. insigne polysaccharide low-dose group,above-men-tioned indexes in each administration group were obviously im-proved (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:A. insigne polysaccha-ride can regulate lipid metabolic disorders,and improve renal function and antioxidant capacity of rats.

OBJECTIVE:To compare antioxidant activity of different extraction parts from flower buds of Buddlejae flos in vi-tro. METHODS:Ethanol crude extract (ET) was extracted from flower buds of B. flos with 60% ethanol and diffused by water;and petroleum ether,ethyl acetate and n-butanol were used to extract ET to obtain PE,EA,BU and water samples(SH). Using di-butyl hydroxy toluene(BHT)as positive control,the antioxidant capacity of PE,EA,BU and SH were investigated by using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH),2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethyl benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)diammonium salt(ABTS)free radi-cal scavenging method and ironion reduction/oxidation resistance ability (FRAP) method. IC50 and antioxdant equivalent TEAC were calculated. RESULTS:Compared with other samples,ET and EA had stronger antioxidant activity,and IC50 of EA scaveng-ing DPPH and ABTS free radical were 13.75,9.78 μg/ml,and those of ET were 14.93,11.41 μg/ml;scavenging ability of EA to DPPH free radical was stronger than that of BHT(IC50 was 18.71 μg/ml). TEAC of EA,ET and BHT were 1 657.67,1 586.25 and 1 581.68μmol/g. CONCLUSIONS:The ethyl acetate extract from flower buds of B. flos has good antioxidant activity.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of alcohol extract of Toddalia asiatica on the inflammation-associated cytokines of model rats with adjuvant arthritis(AA). METHODS:70 SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group,a model con-trol group,a positive control chemical medicine group(Leflunomide tablets,0.012 g/kg),a positive control TCM group(Tripter-ygium glycosides tablets,0.012 g/kg)and the groups of low,medium and high-dose [1,4,6 g(crude drug)/kg] alcohol extract of T. asiatica,with 10 rats in each group. The rats in all groups except for the normal control group were given complete Freund’s complete adjuvant id for the establishment of AA models. At the same time,the rats in the drug administration groups were given corresponding drugs ig,while those in the normal control group and the model control group were given isometric normal saline ig,twice a day,for 28 consecutive days. The degree of toe swelling,arthritis index and the levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6, IL-10,tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)and prostaglandin E2(PGE2)in serum and synovial membranes of all groups of rats were determined. RESULTS:Compared to the normal control group,the model control group demonstrated higher degree of primary and secondary toe swelling,arthritis index and levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-αand PGE2 in serum and joint synovial membrane,and low-er level of IL-10 therein(P<0.01). Compared to the model control group,all the above-mentioned indexes of the rats in drug ad-ministration groups significantly improved(P<0.05 or P<0.01).
