Objective To analyze the effects of different doses of methoxamine combined with restricted fluid infusion in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods A total of 120 elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy were included and divided into control group(group C),2 μg·kg-1·min-1 methoxamine group(M1 group),3 μg·kg-1·min-1 methoxyamine group(M2 group)and 4 μg·kg-1·min-1 methoxamine group(M3 group)according to random number table.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate,central venous pressure(CVP)and pulse pressure variation(PPV)of patients before anesthesia(T0),after anesthesia induction(T1),before one-lung ventilation(T2),after one-lung ventilation for 5 minutes(T3),immediately after lobectomy(T4),after one-lung ventilation(T5)and after supine position(T6)were compared.The lactic acid value and oxygenation index of patients at T0 and T6 in each group were compared.The amount of crystal,colloid,urine and blood loss of patients in each group were recorded.The incidence of complications such as hypertension,hypotension,tachycardia,bradycardia,pulmonary edema and hypoxemia during operation,and pulmonary infection,atelectasis and acute kidney injury within 7 days after operation were counted.Results Compared with group C,MAP and CVP at T1 of patients in M2 group and M3 group significantly increased(P<0.05),PPV at T1 of patients in M1 group and M2 group significantly decreased(P<0.05),while heart rate of patients in M3 group significantly decreased(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in oxygenation index or lactic acid value at T0 of patients between group C and other groups(P>0.05),oxygenation index at T6 of patients in M2 group was significantly higher than those in group C and M3 group(P<0.05),lactic acid value at T6 of patients in M3 group was significantly higher than that in M2 group(P<0.05).Compared with group C,the dosage of colloid and crystal in other three groups significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with group C,the incidence of hypertension and bradycardia in M3 group significantly increased(P<0.05),while the incidence of hypotension in M2 group and M3 group significantly decreased(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the four groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The application of 3 μg·kg-1·min-1 methoxamine combined with restricted fluid infusion in thoracoscopic lobectomy for elderly patients can maintain hemodynamic stability and ensure good tissue perfusion,which is a safe circulation management strategy for elderly patients.

BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is reported associated with the alteration of gut microbial composition termed as dysbiosis. However, the pathogenic mechanism of IBS remains unclear, while the studies of Chinese individuals are scarce. This study aimed to understand the concept of dysbiosis among patients with Chinese diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D), as a degree of variance between the gut microbiomes of IBS-D population and that of a healthy population. METHODS: The patients with IBS-D were recruited (assessed according to the Rome III criteria, by IBS symptom severity score) from the Outpatient Department of Gastroenterology of Peking University Third Hospital, and volunteers as healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled, during 2013. The 16S rRNA sequences were extracted from fecal samples. Ribosomal database project resources, basic local alignment search tool, and SparCC software were used to obtain the phylotype composition of samples and the internal interactions of the microbial community. Herein, the non-parametric test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test was carried out to find the statistical significance between HC and IBS-D groups. All the P values were adjusted to q values to decrease the error rate. RESULTS: The study characterized the gut microbiomes of Chinese patients with IBS-D, and demonstrated that the dysbiosis could be characterized as directed alteration of the microbiome composition leading to greater disparity between relative abundance of two phyla, Bacteroidetes (Z = 4.77, q = 1.59 × 10) and Firmicutes (Z = -3.87, q = 5.83 × 10). Moreover, it indicated that the IBS symptom features were associated with the dysbiosis of whole gut microbiome, instead of one or several certain genera even they were dominating. Two genera, Bacteroides and Lachnospiracea incertae sedis, were identified as the core genera, meanwhile, the non-core genera contribute to a larger pan-microbiome of the gut microbiome. Furthermore, the dysbiosis in patients with IBS-D was associated with a reduction of network complexity of the interacted microbial community (HC vs. IBS-D: 639 vs. 154). The disordered metabolic functions of patients with IBS-D were identified as the potential influence of gut microbiome on the host (significant difference with q < 0.01 between HC and IBS-D). CONCLUSIONS This study supported the view of the potential influence of gut microbiome on the symptom of Chinese patients with IBS-D, and further characterized dysbiosis in Chinese patients with IBS-D, thus provided more pathological evidences for IBS-D with the further understanding of dysbiosis.
