Objective To observe the effect of ultrasound-guided iliopsoas plane block(IPB)on the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.Methods Sixty patients who underwent hip arthroplasty were selected,37 males and 23 females,aged 40-79 years,BMI 18-30 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ.The patients were divided into two groups by random number table method:the iliopsoas plane block group(group IPB)and the femoral nerve block(FNB)group(group FNB),30 pa-tients in each group.Before anesthesia induction,IPB was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 10 ml and lat-eral femoral cutaneous nerve block was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 5 ml in group IPB.And FNB was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 10 ml and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block was performed with 0.5%ropivacaine 5 ml in group FNB.The dosages of propofol,remifentanil,and cis-atracurium during operation were recorded.The quality of recovery-15(QoR-15)scale was evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively 1 day,2 and 3 days.The max VAS(VASmax)pain score and manual muscle test(MMT)score of quadri-ceps muscle were recorded 12,24,and 48 hours after surgery.The time of getting out of bed for the first time,opioid dosage,and patient satisfaction were recorded.The incidence of nerve injury,vascular injury,puncture site infection,and local anesthetic poisoning were recorded.The postoperative complications of diz-ziness,nausea and vomiting,deep vein thromboses,and elirium were also recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the dosage of propofol,remifentanil,and cis-atracurium between the two groups.Compared with group FNB,the QoR-15 scale score in group IPB was significantly higher 1 day,2 and 3 days after operation(P＜0.05).Compared with group FNB,the MMT scores of quadriceps muscle was sig-nificantly higher in group IPB 12 and 24 hours after surgery(P＜0.05),and the first time of getting out of bed was shortened in group IPB(P＜0.05).However,there were no significant differences in the VASmax pain score,MMT score of quadriceps muscle 48 hours after surgery,opioid dosage,and patient satisfaction between the two groups.No nerve block related complications were found in both groups.There were no sig-nificant differences in postoperative complications between the two groups.Conclusion The iliopsoas plane block can improve the quality of postoperative recovery and accelerate the recovery of patients with hip re-placement,and the effect is better than that of femoral nerve block.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of heavy smoking on the dose-effect relationship of ciprofol for painless gastroscopy when combined with alfentanil.Methods:This was a prospective study. American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ male patients, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, undergoing elective painless gastroscopy from October 2023 to February 2024 in Baoding First Central Hospital, were divided into non-smoking group and heavy smoking group (smoking index>400) according to the status of smoking. Alfentanil 5 μg/kg and ciprofol were intravenously injected, and gastroscopy was performed after the patient′s eyelash reflex disappeared and the jaw was relaxed. The study was performed by the Dixon′s up-and-down method, and the initial dose of ciprofol was 0.4 mg/kg. The dose of ciprofol increased or decreased by 0.04 mg/kg each time based on the positive or negative response of the previous patient. A positive response was defined as the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score being greater than 1 point at 3 min after ciprofol injection or the occurrence of coughing, swallowing, body movement, or other responses that affected the operation during the insertion of the endoscope. The median effective dose (ED 50) and 95% confidence interval of propofol for painless gastroscopy were determined by the probit analysis. Results:Twenty-five patients were finally included in non-smoking group and 23 patients in heavy smoking group. The ED 50 (95% confidence interval) of ciprofol when combined with alfentanil was 0.205 (0.159, 0.244) mg/kg in non-smoking group and 0.252 (0.184, 0.295) mg/kg in heavy smoking group. The ED 50 was significantly higher in heavy smoking group than in non-smoking group ( u=390, P=0.009). Conclusions:Heavy smoking can weaken the sedative potency of propofol for sedation when used for painless gastroscopy when combined with alfentanil.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of age on the sedative potency of remimazolam.Methods:This was a prospective study. Patients of either sex, aged 40-80 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective surgery with general anesthesia, were divided into middle age group (40-64 yr) and elderly group (65-80 yr) based on the age of the patients. The test was performed by the Dixon′s up-and-down method. The initial dose of remimazolam was 0.3 mg/kg. The Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score ≤1 and bispectral index value≤60 within 3 min after administration were considered as an effective sedation. The dose of remimazolam was increased/decreased by 0.03 mg/kg based on the sedative efficacy in the previous patient. The 50% effective dose (ED 50) and 95% confidence interval ( CI) of remimazolam were calculated by the probit method. The time to the loss of consciousness was recorded. Results:The ED 50 (95% CI) of remimazolam was 0.345 (0.306-0.384) mg/kg in middle age group, while the ED 50 (95% CI) of remimazolam was 0.322 (0.303-0.339) mg/kg in elderly group. The ED 50 was significantly higher in middle age group than in elderly group ( u=417.00, P=0.022). The time to loss of consciousness was significantly longer in elderly group than in middle age group ( t=-2.96, P=0.008). Conclusions:For middle-aged and elderly patients aged 40-80 yr, the sedative potency of remimazolam increases with age.

Objective:To determine the median effective dose (ED 50) of ciprofol inhibiting responses to insertion of laryngeal mask airway in the patients when combined with alfentanil. Methods:American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of either sex, aged 40-64 yr, with body mass index of 20-30 kg/m 2, undergoing elective general anesthesia, were enrolled. Midazolam 0.025 mg/kg was intravenously injected for anesthesia induction, the baseline mean arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded 5 min later, and the average value of three times was considered as the baseline value. Ciprofol and alfentanil 10 μg/kg were intravenously injected in sequence, rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg was intravenously injected when BIS value < 60, 2 min later a laryngeal mask airway was placed, and mechanical ventilation was performed. Positive response was defined as increase in the maximum mean arterial blood pressure or heart rate more than or equal to 20% of the baseline value within 3 min after placement of the laryngeal mask airway or as the occurrence of body movement, bucking, frowning, mouth and face twitching, tearing, laryngospasm or the BIS value failing to drop below 60. The study was performed by the Dixon′s up-and-down method. The initial dose of ciprofol was 0.4 mg/kg, and the ratio between the two successive doses was 1.1. If a positive response occurred, the dose was increased in the next patient, otherwise the dose was reduced. The ED 50 and 95% confidence interval of ciprofol inhibiting responses to insertion of laryngeal mask airway were calculated by the probit method. Results:The ED 50(95% confidence interval) of ciprofol inhibiting responses to insertion of laryngeal mask airway was 0.291(0.231-0.318) mg/kg when combined with alfentanil 10 μg/kg. Conclusions:The ED 50 of ciprofol inhibiting responses to insertion of laryngeal mask airway is 0.291 mg/kg in the patients when combined with alfentanil 10 μg/kg.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of dermatomyositis with kidney neoplasm.Methods:The data of two patients with dermatomyositis complicated with kidney neoplasm in Tongji Hospital from January to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The first case was a 55-year-old female, who was admitted with the chief complaints of recurrent erythema of upper extremities for 2 months and facial erythema for 1 month. Physical examination: erythema can be seen on upper limbs and face, no tenderness or percussion pain in kidney area. Myositis enzyme profile test showed that anti-Mi-2 antibody and anti-SSA /Ro-52 antibody were positive. Contrast CT showed nodular uneven enhancement in the right kidney with a size of 50 mm×41 mm. The second case was a 58-year-old female, who was admitted with the chief complaints of kidney occupying for a month. Physical examination: flaky erythema on face, no tenderness or percussion pain in kidney area. Myositis enzyme profile test showed that anti-Ro-52 antibody and anti-MDA5 antibody were positive. Contrast CT showed a significantly uneven enhanced mass with a size of about 50 mm×41 mm on left kidney. Both patients were diagnosed with kidney neoplasm before surgery and underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in Tongji Hospital.Results:Both patients received regular oral prednisone after surgery. The pathological presentation of case 1 was papillary renal cell carcinoma, the facial erythema subsided 1 month after surgery, and there was no tumor recurrence for 13 months. The pathological presentation of case 2 was clear cell renal cell carcinoma, facial erythema subsided 2 weeks after surgery, and there was no tumor recurrence for 12 months.Conclusions:The diagnosis of dermatomyositis should be combined with clinical manifestations and laboratory examination, and the possibility of malignant tumor should be excluded due to the high likelihood of concomitant malignancy. For patients with dermatomyositis with kidney neoplasm, the main treatment is still surgery, and supplemented with glucocorticoid therapy.
