Objective:To observe the effect of cross-education combined with electromyography(EMG)biofeedback inter-vention on the wrist dorsal extension function of patients with subacute stroke. Method:Forty-five patients with subacute stroke were randomly divided into cross-education group,EMG bio-feedback group,and combined group,with 15 cases in each group.The patients of three groups received rou-tine rehabilitation training.The cross-education group performed additional cross-education training on this ba-sis,the EMG biofeedback group performed additional EMG biofeedback training,and the combined group per-formed additional cross-education combined with EMG biofeedback.The above treatment lasted for 6 weeks,and before and after treatment,active joint range of motion(AROM),manual muscle test(MMT),simpli-fied Fugl-Meyer motor function score:upper extremity(FMA-UE),modified Barthel index(MBI)were used to assess the patient's wrist extension function,upper limb motor function and activities of daily living. Result:Before treatment,the three groups had no significant difference in FMA-UE score,wrist dorsiflexion AROM,muscle strength score,and MBI score(P＞0.05).After 6 weeks treatment,the FMA-UE score,wrist dorsiflexion AROM,muscle strength score,and MBI score of the three groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).When comparison among the groups,there was no significant difference in MBI score(P＞0.05),and other index score comparisons showed significant differences(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in the comparison of the cross-education group and the EMG biofeed-back group(P＞0.05). Conclusion:Cross-education combined with EMG biofeedback is better than single cross-education or EMG biofeedback intervention in improving the wrist extension function,upper limb motor function and activities of daily living in patients with subacute stroke.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of clonidine adhesive patch in Tourette syndrome (TS) patients with comorbid attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: This study was conducted on a sample of children and adolescents with TS who had comorbid ADHD between May 2012 and March 2015. The patients were diagnosed according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition, and were randomly assigned to four different dose groups: 1.0 mg/week, 1.5 mg/week, 2.0 mg/week and placebo group, and the symptom was evaluated by Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale, Version IV (SNAP-IV) and Yale Global Tic Severity Scale scales every 2 weeks. The primary outcome was tic disorders (TD) effective rate at week 8. Results: One hundred and twenty-seven TS patients with comorbid ADHD in 2.0 mg/week (n=35), 1.5 mg/week (n=27), 1.0 mg/week (n=36) and placebo groups (n=29) were included in this subgroup analysis. The TD effective rate of the 2.0 mg, 1.5 mg, and 1.0 mg groups at week 8 were significantly better than that in placebo group (85.7%, 81.5%, and 86.1% vs. 20.7%, all p<0.0001). All groups demonstrated significant improvements in SNAP-IV total scale scores compared to baseline (p=0.0004), with treatment groups showing only a trend for better performance compared to placebo group at week 8, without statistical differences (22.1±15.41, 21.3±11.96, and 21.2±12.48 vs. 26.0±13.37, p=0.3385). A total of 9 adverse reactions occurred, all recovered spontaneously without additional medication. Conclusion Clonidine adhesive patch could safely and effectively reduce the tic symptoms of TS patients with comorbid ADHD, and might be potentially helpful in the ADHD symptoms control.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for combined coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in patients with ischemia and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA).Methods:From October 2020 to May 2022, 100 INOCA patients with myocardial ischemic symptoms who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) suggestive of <50% stenosis in all three coronary arteries at the Tenth People′s Hospital of Tongji University were prospectively recruited. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), transthoracic echocardiography and cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) SPECT coronary flow quantification were performed in the same month, and 93 INOCA patients (36 males and 57 females, age (63.0±10.9) years) were finally included. CMD was defined as coronary flow reserve (CFR)<2.5. Independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare MPI results and left ventricular volume parameters between CMD and non-CMD groups. ROC curve analysis was used to analyze the efficacy of each index in predicting CMD, and independent risk factors for CMD were screened by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:Among 93 INOCA patients, 29 were in the CMD group and 64 were in the non-CMD group. The age, proportion of hypertension, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), summed stress score (SSS), summed difference score (SDS), left ventricular internal diameter systolic (LVIDS), interventricular septum thickness (IVST), and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) in the CMD group were higher than those in the non-CMD group ( t values: 2.42-3.76, χ2=8.94, z values: -3.31, -3.41, all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that LVMI, SSS, SDS, LVPWT, IVST and age were significant in predicting CMD (AUCs: 0.67-0.72). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LVMI (odds ratio ( OR)=1.08, 95% CI: 1.01-1.17), SDS ( OR=5.37, 95% CI: 1.95-14.78), hypertension ( OR=5.68, 95% CI: 1.34-24.18) and age ( OR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.03-1.18) were risk factors for CMD. Conclusion:LVMI, SDS, hypertension and age are strongly associated with combined CMD in INOCA patients, which can be used for early risk stratification of INOCA patients.

Objective To evaluate the median effective anesthetic dose of ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane ( TAP ) block for analgesia in patients undergoing appendectomy. Methods Twenty-eight cases of appendectomy under general anesthesia were analyzed.After standardized general anaesthesia,a bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block was performed on patients undergoing appendectomy using ropivacaine. Sequential method was applied. The initial dose of ropivacaine in first patient was 1.6 mg·kg-1,the dose adjustment interval was 0.2 mg·kg-1.Numerical Rating Scale was used to estimate the level of pain postoperatively. If NRS≤3, dosage of ropivacaine was decreased by 0. 2 mg·kg-1. The transversus abdominis plane block analgesia duration and incidences of postoperative adverse reactions were analyzed. Results Median effective dose (ED50) of ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block was 2.73 mg·kg-1.95%CI (1.94, 3.84) mg·kg-1. Conclusion The determination of ED50of ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block improved the anesthesia efficacy and safety.

Objective To systematically review the efficacy of dexmedetomidine mixed with ropivacaine for brachial plexus block in the patients undergoing upper limb surgery.Methods Medline,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Weipu,Wanfang,Zhiwang databases were searched for randomized controlled trials involving the efficacy of dexmedetomidine mixed with ropivacaine for brachial plexus block in patients undergoing upper limb surgery from the date of database establishment up to July 2017,and the trials were published in Chinese or in English.Evaluation indexes included onset time and duration of sensory and motor blocks and analgesia time when used for brachial plexus block.Trials were selected and data were extracted independently by 2 investigators,and meta-analysis was conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.3 software.Results Twelve randomized controlled trials were included in our metaanalysis.Compared with control group,the onset time of sensory and motor blocks was significantly shortened,the duration of sensory and motor blocks was prolonged,and analgesia time when used for brachial plexus block was prolonged in dexmedetomidine group (P＜0.01).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine mixed with ropivacaine can be effectively used for brachial plexus block in the patients undergoing upper limb surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of different operation positions on cardiac index (CI) and stroke volume variation (SVV) in the patients monitored by FloTrac/Vigileo system to provide some references for the hemodynamic management and liquid treatment of the patients.Methods Sixty patients scheduled for elective TV auxiliary thoracoscope radical operation of esophageal cancer.The CI and SVV changes were observed by using the FloTrac/Vigileo system.CI,SVV and CVP were recorded at 5 min after anesthesia induction (T0),5 min after converting to the position of head low feet high (T1),5 min after converting to the position of head high feet low (T2).Results Compared with T0,CI at T1 and T2 was decreased(P＜0.05);compared with T0,SVV at T1 was decreased and CVP was increased;SVV at T2 was increased and CVP was decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion The operation position change may have a significant impact on the patient's CI,SVV and CVP.Focusing on the corresponding change can provide some references for the intraoperative hemodynamic management and liquid treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on the lung injury during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery.Methods Eighty patients scheduled for elective radical operation for esophageal cancer,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=40 each) using a random number table.control group (group C) and group RIPC.At 0 (T1),30 min (T2),1 h (T3) and 2 h (T4) of OLV,blood samples were obtained from the radial artery for blood gas analysis and determination of plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-1β (IL-1ββ) and IL-10.Oxygenation index(OI),respiratory index(RI) and PaO2/PAO2 were calculated.Exhaled breath condensate was collected and the pH value was measured.Results Compared with group C,Oxygenation index was significantly increased,and respiratory index was decreased at T2-T4,the plasma concentrations of TNF-α and IL-1β were decreased,and the pH value of exhaled breath condensate was increased at T3-T4,and the plasma concentration of IL-10 was increased at T4 in group RIPC.Conclusion RIPC can inhibit inflammatory responses and reduce airway acidification,thus attenuating the lung injury during OLV in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
