Objective:To explore the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on postoperative pain, oxidative stress and adverse reactions in patients undergoing radical mastectomy.Methods:A total of 90 patients with breast cancer who received radical surgical treatment in our hospital from Jun. 2022 to Jun. 2023 were prospectively included as research objects and randomly divided into 3 groups with 30 patients in each group. DEX group was applied before, during and after surgery, respectively. The levels of pain visual analogue scale (VAS), Richmonation sedation score (RASS), superoxide dismu-tase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were recorded.Results:The recovery time and extubation time in preoperative and intraoperative DEX group were significantly lower than those in postoperative DEX group, and the awakening time and extubation time in preoperative DEX group were significantly lower than those in intraoperative DEX group ( F value was 48.62 and 53.98, respectively, P<0.001). At 1 h, 6 h and 12 h after surgery, the VAS and RASS scores of patients in the preoperative and intraoperative DEX group were significantly lower than those in the postoperative DEX group, compared with those in the intraoperative DEX group. The VAS and RASS scores in the DEX group were significantly decreased ( F value: 62.34, 55.24, 69.26, 36.82, 24.20, 39.97, P<0.001). At 24h after surgery, there was no significant difference in VAS and RASS scores among the three groups ( F value was 0.45 and 0.81, respectively, P value was 0.613 and 0.418). Immediately after surgery, 24 h after surgery, 72 h after surgery, the SOD level of DEX group was significantly higher than that of DEX group before and during surgery ( F value was 29.37, 33.24, 10.35, P<0.001). MDA levels were significantly lower than those in postoperative DEX group ( F value was 30.52, 41.27, 8.26, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions among all groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:Preoperative and intraoperative application of DEX can reduce postoperative pain and oxidative stress in breast cancer patients, help patients recover quickly after surgery, and preoperative application is superior to intraoperative application.

Objective To investigate the association between the serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio(SCr/Cys C)as a Sarcopenia index(SI)and the incidence of in-hospital adverse events in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Additionally,we evaluate the predictive efficacy of the SI in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)during hospitalization.Methods A total of 306 patients with AMI who underwent emergency PCI in the 904th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force from January 2020 to March 2023 were consecutively included in this retrospective analysis.Patients were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of MACEs during hospitalization:MACEs group(n=43)and non-MACEs group(n=263).Clinical characteristics and pre-PCI laboratory test results were collected.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for MACEs.The predictive performance of SI was assessed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.Results The incidence of in-hospital MACEs in AMI patients was 14.1%.The results of the independent samples t-test showed that the SI level in MACEs group was significantly lower than that in non-MACEs group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.001).The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that new-onset atrial fibrillation,Killip class 2-4,SI,and TG were independent risk factors for in-hospital adverse events after emergency PCI.The ROC curve results showed that the predictive value of SI(AUC=0.741,95%CI 0.666-0.816)using the SCr/Cys C ratio was superior to that of single Cys C(AUC=0.658,95%CI 0.570-0.746)for predicting post-PCI MACEs,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05),and the optimal cutoff value for SI was 78.14.After stratifying SI based on the cutoff value,the results of the independent samples t-test showed that compared to the higher SI group,the lower SI group had a higher occurrence of specific adverse events such as heart failure(P<0.001),malignant arrhythmias(P=0.009),and strokes(P=0.003),with statistically significant differences.Conclusions The results highlight SI as an independent risk factor for MACEs during hospitalization after emergency PCI in AMI patients.Furthermore,SI has proven to be an effective prognostic index for patient outcomes.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of imatinib on the endotoxemia-induced acute lung injury in mice.Methods:Sixty SPF male, 8-12 weeks, C57BL/6 mice were randomly (random) divided into 4 groups ( n=15 each): control group (group C), imatinib group (groupⅠ), endotoxemia group (group LPS) and imatinib + endotoxemia group (group I+LPS). The endotoxemia model of acute lung injury was established. After 24 hours, the mice were sacrificed. The pathological changes of lung tissues were evaluated, the lung injury scores were calculated, and the wet/dry ratios of lung tissues were measured. ELISA was used to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum. Detection kits were used to analyze the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) in lung tissues; The expression levels of phosphorylated nuclear factor-kappa B (p-NF-κB), nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in lung tissues were analyzed by western blotting. Results:Compared with the group C, the wet/dry (W/D) ratio of lungs [(3.47±0.41) vs. (5.58±0.47)], lung injury scores [(1.25±0.89) vs. (10.25±1.75)], and the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum increased in the group LPS ( P<0.05). The levels of SOD, CAT, GSH and GSH/GSSG decreased, the level of MDA increased, and the expression of p-NF-κB, Nrf2 and HO-1 protein up-regulated ( P<0.05). Compared with the LPS group, the W/D ratio of lungs [(5.58±0.47) vs.(4.62±0.38)] and lung injury scores [(10.25±1.75) vs. (7.00±1.31)] in the I+LPS group decreased ( P<0.05), and the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the serum decreased ( P<0.05). In lung tissues, the levels of SOD, CAT, GSH and GSH/GSSG increased (all P<0.05), the level of MDA decreased (all P<0.05), the expression of p-NF-κB protein decreased, and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein increased ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Imatinib improves sepsis-induced acute lung injury in mice, and the mechanism of actions behind may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of Venetoclax combined with multidrug chemotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ETP-ALL) . Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 15 patients with R/R ETP-ALL who received Venetoclax combined with multidrug chemotherapy from December 2018 to February 2022. Among them, eight cases were combined with demethylated drugs, four cases were combined with demethylated drugs and HAAG chemotherapy regimen, two cases were combined with demethylated drugs and CAG regimen, and one case was combined with Cladribine. Specific usage and dosage of Venetoclax: 100 mg on day 1, 200 mg on day 2, 400 mg on day 3-28, orally; when combined with azole antifungal drugs, dosage was reduced to 100 mg/d. Results: Fifteen patients (10 males and 5 females) with R/R ETP-ALL were treated with Venetoclax and multidrug chemotherapy with a median age of 35 (12-42) years old. Of 4 refractory and 11 relapsed patients, the efficacy was evaluated on the 21th day following combined chemotherapy: the overall response rate, the complete response (CR) rate, and the CR with incomplete hematological recovery (CRi) rate were 67.7% (10/15), 60.0% (9/15), and 6.7% (1/15), respectively. For the overall study population, the 12-month overall survival (OS) rate was 60.0%, and the median OS was 17.7 months. The disease-free survival (DFS) rate of all CR patients at 12 months was 60.0%, and the median DFS did not reach. About 14 patients had Ⅲ-Ⅳ hematological toxicity, but these adverse reactions were all controllable. No adverse reaction in the nervous system and tumor lysis syndrome occurred in this study, and no adverse reaction of organs above grade Ⅲ occurred. Conclusion: Venetoclax combined with multidrug chemotherapy may be a safe and promising treatment option for patients with R/R ETP-ALL.
