Objective:To investigate the effects of ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) on hemodynamics in children with microtia undergoing auricular reconstruction.Methods:This research was a prospective randomized control study. Patients were prospectively recruited from March 2022 to July 2022 at the Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. Children with microtia undergoing auricular reconstruction with costal cartilage were randomly included in either a SAPB-pre group(SAPB pre-rib harvest group) or a SAPB-post group(SAPB post-rib harvest group). Both groups of children were anesthetized with combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia. Anesthesia maintenance was provided with i. v. propofol 4-6 mg·kg -1·h -1 and remifentanil 0.1-0.3 μg·kg -1·min -1, sevoflurane at 1% concentration, and a flow rate of 2.5 L/min. During the operation, bispectral index(BIS) was maintained between 40-60, and alterations in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were <20%, compared to the basic values. During the operation, 1% sevoflurane was inhaled to maintain anesthesia. The fluctuation of BIS, MAP, and HR was adjusted by the intraoperative infusion of remifentanil and propofol. Ultrasound-guided SAPB in the SAPB-pre group was performed by an anesthesiologist after tracheal intubation of general anesthesia. In the SAPB-post group, ultrasound-guided SAPB was performed by the same anesthesiologist before the tracheal catheter was removed at the end of the operation, and the concentration of ropivacaine was 0.25% (3 mg/kg). MAP, HR, and BIS were recorded at each time point of admission, pre-rib harvest, during-rib harvest, post-rib harvest, anesthesia extubation, leaving the room. The consumptions of propofol and remifentanil during the operation were also recorded. Continuous data were presented as Mean±SD. Non-repeated measurement parametric variables were compared using the independent samples t-test. Repeated measurement parametric variables were assessed using repeated measures analysis of variance. The same data at varying time points were compared using Dunnett- t test of multiple comparison procedures. Categorical data were compared using the Chi-square test. Results:Sixty children were randomized to SAPB-pre group and SAPB-post group and 30 in each group. The data of gender (boy 22/ girl 8 vs. boy 23/ girl 7), age[(8.03±1.07)years vs. (8.33±1.16)years], body mass index [(17.46±2.79)kg/m 2 vs. (17.23±2.11)kg/m 2], operation time[(185.33±16.29)min vs. (190.00±16.50)min] and length of costocartilage[(23.13±1.46)cm vs. (23.63±1.27)cm] between the two groups showed no significant differences ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in MAP, HR and BIS values at the time of pre-rib harvest, during-rib harvest, and post-rib harvest in the SAPB-pre group ( P>0.05). In the SAPB-post group, the fluctuations of MAP, HR and BIS values at the time of pre-rib harvest, during-rib harvest and post-rib harvest were obvious ( P<0.01). The consumptions of propofol and remifentanil during the operation in the SAPB-pre group were significantly less than that in the SAPB-post group[(555.67±150.90)mg vs. (788.50±191.02)mg, P<0.01; (745.33±183.56)μg vs. (1 080.00±247.26)μg, P<0.01]. Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block can stabilize the hemodynamics during auricular reconstruction using costal cartilage and reduce the consumption of general anesthetic.

Objective:To understand the incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) in fathers with premature infants and analyze the risk factors.Methods:Conveniently, the 203 fathers of premature infants in NICU of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University of Shandong Province from May to August 2021 were selected as the subjects to fill in the general data questionnaire, Perinatal Post-traumatic stress disorder Questionnaire-Chinese edition (PPQ-C), Parents, Perception of Uncertainty Scale, Social Support Rating Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of PTSD and establish a nomogram model. ROC curve was used to verify the discrimination ofthe model. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test and Calibration Plot were used to verify the calibration.Results:PPQ-C total score of 203 fathers was 17.17 ± 8.77, 81 fathers, symptoms were positive and the incidence of PTSD was 39.90%(81/203). Logistic regression analysis showed college degree ( OR = 0.297, 95% CI 0.116 - 0.763, P<0.05), very low birth weight ( OR = 2.491, 95% CI 1.027 - 6.044, P<0.05), sense of disease uncertainty ( OR = 1.038, 95% CI 1.012 - 1.066, P<0.05), negative coping style ( OR = 1.871, 95% CI 1.127 - 3.108, P<0.05) were risk factors of PTSD in fathers with premature infants. The nomogram model was established basing on the results of the Logistic regression analysis, and the ROC curve proved (AUC = 0.751) the model having a good discrimination.The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test ( P = 0.974) and the calibration plot demonstrated that the prediction values tends to coincide with the actual monitoring values. Conclusions:A higher incidence of PTSD was observed in fathers with hospitalized premature infant. It was related to education level, the infants′s birth weight, disease uncertainty and coping style. Therefore, the nurses should give information support and psychological guidance according to the individual situation of the infants′ father to reduce the incidence of PTSD.

Objective To investigate the improved approach and bile duct approach of laparoscopic biliary tract exploration for the treatment of the elderly patients with common bile duct stones. Methods Ninety-two elderly patients with common bile duct stones were enrolled and randomly divided into the improved group and the conventional group ,with 46 cases in each group. The time of hemorrhage ,the time of common bile duct suture,the recovery time of gastrointestinal function,the time of hospitalization,body temperature,albumin and total bilirubin levels,complications and recurrence of stones were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results The time of hemorrhage,the time of common bile duct suture,the recovery time of gastrointestinal func-tion and the time of hospitalization in the improved group were lower than those in the conventional group(P<0.05, respectively). The body temperature of patients in the improved group was lower than that in the conventional group on 3 days after surgery(P<0.05). The overall incidence of postoperative complications in the improved group was lower than that in the conventional group (P < 0.05). No recurrence of stones was observed in both two groups. Conclusion The improved approach for laparoscopic common bile duct exploration surgery results in less bleed-ing,short common bile duct suture time,rapid postoperative recovery,less body temperature fluctuations and less complications,deserving popularization.

A patient with steroid-resistant acute rejection 50 days after ABO-compatible orthotopic liver trans-plantation(LT)received regular infusion of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)after three ses-sions of steroid pulse therapy which failed to control the pathogenetic condition as shown by biopsy.Liver function improved gradually after intravenous injection of MSCs once weekly for 10 weeks(as confirmed by biopsy)and remained stable under administration of conventional immunosuppressive agents.There was no evidence of neoplasms 5 years after treatment.MSCs infusion appears to suc-cessfully reverse resistance to immunosuppressive agents and may be a useful treatment for post-liver transplant steroid-resistant rejection.

Objective To explore the function of p53 on regulating the expression of miR-148b in lung cancer cell line PC-9 and its corresponding molecular mechanism and the impact on cell proliferation. Methods Transient transfection of p53 eukaryotic expressing plasmids into lung cancer cell line PC-9 was performed to establish a cell model over-expressing p53. RT-PCR was used to explicit the impact of p53 on the expression of miR-148b. A reporter vector containing miR-148b promoter was used to investigate the function of p53 on regulating the transcription of miR-148b. Low-expressing miR-148b by transfecting its specific inhibitors , a CCK-8 assay was performed to explore the influence of miR-148b on the lung cancer cell proliferation inhibited by p53. Results Over-expression of p53 promoted miR-148b expression in lung cancer cell line PC-9. P53 could increase the luciferase activity driven by miR-148b promoters. Knockdown of miR-148b attenuated the impact of p53 on inhibiting the proliferation of PC-9 cells. Conclusion P53 inhibits the proliferation of lung cancer cell line PC-9 partially depending on miR-148b.

Objective To examine the complement component 1 Q subcomponent-binding protein (C1QBP) gene expression in human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines and its parental cell line JeG-3,and to investigate whether silence C 1QBP by small interference RNA could reverse the resistance of human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines to its relevant chemotherapy drugs.Methods Expression of C1QBP mRNA and protein in cells were detected by real-time fluorogenic quantitative PCR and western blot,respectively.The difference of C 1QBP expression was compared between human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines and its parental cell line JeG-3.Sub-cellular location was proved by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy.A lentiviral vector containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting C 1QBP was constructed and cotransfected with the packaging plasmid mixture into 293T cells by lipofectamine 2000.The human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines were infected with the packaged lentivirus.Real-time fluorogenic quantitative PCR and western blot were used to validate whether the C 1QBP gene expression was silenced.The cell counting kit 8(CCK8)was used to determine the drug sensitivity.Results (1)The C1QBP mRNA expression levels among four human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines[JeG-3/floxuridiuum (FUDR),JeG-3/methotrexate (MTX),JeG-3/etoposide (VP),JeG-3/dactinomycin (KSM)] were 2.520±0.680,1.770±0.230,1.940±0.090 and 1.740±0.350 folds compared to that in JeG-3 cells.The C1QBP protein was higher expression level in human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines than that in JeG-3.The immunofluorescence methods and confocal analysis showed that C1QBP localized predominantly in the mitochondrial matrix.(2)The C1QBP mRNA expression in JeG-3/FUDR cells after infected with lentiviral vector were decreased by 93.1％ (P＜0.01).The protein expression of C 1QBP in JeG-3/FUDR cells after infected with lentiviral vector were almost completely suppressed.The resistance indexes of four human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines(JeG-3/FUDR,JeG-3/MTX,JeG-3/VP,JeG-3/KSM) were respectively 86.3％,93.9％,92.8％ and 89.9％,which were decreased remarkably by knockdown the C 1QBP expression (P＜0.05).Conclusions C1QBP is overexpressed in human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines compared with parental cell line JeG-3.Inhibition of C 1QBP by lentivirus-mediated small interference RNA could effectively reverses the resistance of human resistance choriocarcinoma cell lines to its relevant chemotherapy drugs.

Objective To establish human choriocarcinoma JeG-3 cell line resistant to floxuridine (FUDR)and describe the characteristics of this FUDR-resistant subline.The thymidylate synthase (TS) expression level in FUDR-resistant subline was also discussed.Methods The FUDR-resistant sub-line JeG-3/FUDRA was established by intermitted exposure to grads increased FUDR.Reversed microscope was used to observe the morphological changes in FUDR-resistant sub-line.Population doubling time was calculated and compared based on the growth curve of these two cell lines,cell cycles and chromosomal ploidy were assayed with flow cytometry methods.The chemo-luminescence assay was used to detect the hormone secretion by two kinds of cell lines.The resistant index (RI) was measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8)assay.Quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of TS and we also detected the TS mRNA expression level in different doses exposed subline.Results The RI of JeG-3/FUDRA was 31.62.Compared with the JeG-3 cell,the FUDR-resistant cell line had gross changes in morphological,cell growth,cell cycles and chromosomal numbers.The ability of human chorionic gonadotrop(hCG) and progesterone secretion was lower in JeG-3/FUDRA subline.The trend of TS mRNA expression was:while exposed to low concentration of FUDR,the TS mRNA expression level was downregulated,then followed the increasing dose of the drug,the expression level of TS mRNA ascended gradually.When the terminal concentration was reached,the expression level of TS mRNA in JeG-3/FUDRA subline was higher than that of JeG-3 cell line (P＜0.05).Conclusions We established the FUDR-resistant subline of JeG-3 successfully.The TS mRNA expression level is stage-related to the different concentration and different phase in FUDR exposure.Our data suggested that TS mRNA expression level may not be used as a biomarker to predict the chemosensitivity in FUDR-based chemotherapy.
