Abstract The effectiveness of anterior serratus plane block in postoperative analgesia of thoracic surgery is beginning to emerge. Currently, there are 2 methods of anterior serratus plane block: deep serratus plane block (DSPB) and superficial serratus plane block (SSPB). In clinical practice, there is no an unified view regarding the advantages and disadvantages between 2 methods. This study aimed to observe and compare the analgesic effects of 2 methods on patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy, in order to provide some suggestions for anesthesiologists when they choose anterior serratus plane block to perform postoperative analgesia for patients. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups (21 patients/group):1. general anesthesia group (P group);2. combined general anesthesia and SSPB group (S group), and3. combined general anesthesia and DSPB group (D group). The patients in groups S and D received 0.4 ml/kg of 0.375% ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided block after surgery. Postoperatively, flurbiprofen was used for rescue analgesia. Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores were recorded at 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after surgery, and rescue analgesia, post-operative nausea, and vomiting were reported within 24 hours after surgery. At 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours, the VAS scores and the rescue analgesia rates in groups S and D were significantly lower than those in group P (all P < .001). With prolonging time, the VAS in group D was significantly increased by 0.11 per hour as compared with that of group P (P < .0001); VAS in group D was significantly increased by 0.12 per hour as compared with that of group S (P < .0001). Ultrasound-guided anterior serratus plane block can provide adequate analgesia for patients undergoing thoracoscopy lobectomy. SSPB can significantly improve VAS scores as compared to DSPB at 24 hours.
Objective:To evaluate the effect of regional oxygen saturation (rSO 2)-guided low-dose norepinephrine on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement under general anesthesia. Methods:One hundred and twenty patients of both sexes, aged 65-80 yr, with body mass index of 18-24 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ-Ⅲ, scheduled for hip replacement under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=60 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C) and low-dose norepinephrine guided by rSO 2 group (group RN). The patients in both groups received superior inguinal fascial space block combined with general anesthesia under laryngeal mask placement.In group C, the fluctuation range of mean arterial pressure (MAP) was not more than 20% of the baseline, vasoactive agents were administered according to the changes in blood pressure, rSO 2 was monitored continuously, but the change rate of rSO 2 was not used as the regulating index.In group RN, norepinephrine was infused continuously via the central vein at 0.01-0.10 μg·kg -1·min -1 after anesthesia induction, the dose was adjusted according to rSO 2, the rSO 2 change rate was maintained≤10%, the fluctuation range of mean arterial pressure was not more than 20% of the baseline, and vasoactive agents were administered when necessary.MAP, end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide (P ETCO 2) and rSO 2 were recorded after inhalation of oxygen (T 0), at 5 min after anesthesia induction (T 1), at 30 min after skin incision (T 2), at the end of surgery (T 3) and after recovery and extubation (T 4), and the change rate of rSO 2 was calculated.The occurrence of adverse events and amount of vasoactive drugs used were recorded.The cognitive function was assessed using Montreal Scale at 1 day before surgery and 7 days after surgery, and the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) was calculated using Z score.The postoperative hospital stay time was recorded. Results:Compared with group C, MAP and rSO 2 were significantly increased, and the change rate of rSO 2 was decreased at T 1, 2 in group RN ( P<0.05). Compared with group C, the requirement for intraoperative vasoactive drugs was significantly decreased, the consumption of norepinephrine was increased, MoCA total score, attention and delayed recall sub-score were increased at 7 days after surgery, the incidence of POCD was decreased, and the postoperative hospital stay time was shortened in group RN ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Low-dose norepinephrine guided by rSO 2 can decrease the development of POCD in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement under general anesthesia.
Objective:To evaluate the role of Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 2 (NLRP2) in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in neuropathic pain (NP) in rats.Methods:Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats in which intrathecal catheters were successfully implanted, aged 2-3 months, weighing 200-250 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), NP group, NP plus NLRP2-siRNA group (NP+ siRNA group) and NP plus NLRP2-scrRNA group (NP+ scrRNA group). The right sciatic nerve was only exposed but not ligated in group S. NP was induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) to the sciatic nerve in anesthetized rats in group NP, group NP+ siRNA and group NP+ scrRNA.NLRP2-siRNA and NLRP2-scrRNA were intrathecally injected at 3 days before CCI in group NP+ siRNA and group NP+ scrRNA, respectively.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured at 1 day before CCI (T 0) and 1, 3, 7 and 10 days after CCI (T 1-4). The rats were sacrificed after the last measurement of pain threshold, and the L 4, 5 segments of the DRG on the operated side were removed for determination of the expression of NLRP2 and caspase-1 (by Western blot), the expression of NLRP2 mRNA (by real-time polymerase chain reaction) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) content (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:The MWT was significantly lower at T 2-4 than at T 0 in group NP, group NP+ siRNA and group NP+ scrRNA ( P<0.05). Compared with group S, the MWT was significantly decreased at T 2-4, the expression of NLRP2 protein and mRNA and caspase-1 was up-regulated, and the content of IL-1β was increased in group NP ( P<0.05). Compared with group NP, the MWT was significantly increased at T 2-4, the expression of NLRP2 protein and mRNA and caspase-1 was down-regulated, and the content IL-1β was decreased in group NP+ siRNA ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group NP+ scrRNA ( P>0.05). Conclusion:NLRP2 in DRG is involved in the development of NP, and the mechanism is related to NLPR2 inflammasomes-induced peripheral neuroinflammation in rats.

Objective To compare the cost-effectiveness of non-intubated general anesthesia with conventional general anesthesia for thoracoscopic bulla resection. Methods Sixty patients scheduled for elective thoracoscopic bulla resection, were divided into two groups (30 each) using a random number table: the conventional general anesthesia group (T group) and the non-intubated general anesthesia group (NT group). Patients in group T were induced with conventional general anesthetic, single-lung ventilated after intubation with double-lumen bronchial catheters. Patients in group NT were induced with general anesthesia combined nerve block, and spontaneous breathings were retained. The results of blood gas analysis, anesthesia time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, time for orientation recovery and modified Aldrete score ≥ 9 minutes were recorded. The intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay time, VAS and PC A scores 48 h after operation were recorded. Calculate the cost of anesthesia and the total cost of hospitalization. Results Compared with T group, NT group had lower pH value and higher PCO2 at 30 min before and after the thoracic closure, oxygenation index in the NT group increased at 30 min after the thoracic closure (P < 0.05). Compared with T group, anesthesia time, time for orientation recovery and modified Aldrete score ≥ 9 minutes, incidence of postoperative sore throat, postoperative hospital stay time, VAS scores at 6, 12 h and PC A at 48 h after the operation, anesthesia costs, and total hospitalization costs in the NT group were all reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusions Fully considering the safety, compared with the traditional tracheal intubation general anesthesia, non-intubation general anesthesia can not only promote postoperative outcomes but also improve the cost-effectiveness in the patients undergoing thoracoscopic bulla resection.

Sevoflurane is a new type of inhalation anesthetic used widely in the clinic. It has the characteristics of rapid induction, rapid recovery, and less irritative to the airway. Studies have shown that sevoflurane can affect the invasion and migration of a variety of malignant tumors. However, its effects on human glioma cells and related mechanisms are not clear. Cultured U251 and U87 cells were pretreated with sevoflurane. The effect of sevoflurane on proliferation was evaluated by MTT, and cell migration assay, cell apoptosis, and invasion ability were evaluated by wound-healing assay, cell apoptosis, and Transwell assays. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway gene expression in sevoflurane-treated cell lines was measured by western blotting analysis, respectively. 5% sevoflurane significantly inhibited proliferation ability in both U251 and U87 cells. Sevoflurane inhibited glioma cells invasion and migration, and promoted apoptosis. Sevoflurane inhibited IGF-1 and promoted the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in glioma cells. In addition, sevoflurane inhibited the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in glioma cells. This study clarifies that sevoflurane inhibits proliferation, invasion, and migration, and promotes apoptosis in glioma cells. These effects are regulated by IGF-1, an upstream gene of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. These findings may be significant for the selection of anesthetic agents in glioma surgery to improve the prognosis of patients.
Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrogen sulfide on myocardial exogenous apoptotic pathway in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation.Methods Sixty clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 250-300 g,were divided into 4 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table method:sham operation group (group S),sham operation plus sodium sulphid (NaHS) group (group S+NaHS),hemorrhagic shock group (HS group),and hemorrhagic shock plus sodium sulphid group (group HS+NaHS).Rats only underwent arterial and intravenous puncture in group S.Hemorrhagic shock was induced by withdrawing blood from the femoral artery until mean arterial pressure (MAP) was reduced to 35-40 mmHg within 10 min and maintained for 1.5 h.NaHS 28 μmol/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 10 min before resuscitation in group HS+NaHS.The equal volume of NaHS was administered at the same time in group S+NaHS.Immediately before blood letting and at 0,1.5,2,3,4 and 6 h after blood letting (T1-5),MAP was recorded and blood samples were collected from the femoral vein for determination of serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations by chemical colorimetry.Rats were then sacrificed and hearts were removed for examination of the pathological changes of myocardial tissues (with a light microscope) and for determination of cell apoptosis (by TUNEL),expression of caspase-3 and caspase-8 (by Western blot) and expression of Fas and FasL (by immunohistochemistry).Apoptosis index was calculated.Results Compared with group S,MAP was significantly decreased at T1-5,the serum CK and LDH concentrations at T1-5 and apoptosis index at T5 were increased,and the expression of Fas,FasL,caspase-3 and caspase-8 was up-regulated in group HS (P< 0.05).Compared with group HS,MAP was significantly increased at T1-3,the serum CK and LDH concentrations at T3-5 and apoptosis index at T5 were decreased,and the expression of Fas,FasL,caspase-3 and caspase-8 was down-regulated in group HS+NaHS (P<0.05).The pathological changes of myocardial tissues were significantly attenuated in group HS+NaHS when compared with group HS.Concclusion The mechanism by which hydrogen sulfide attenuates myocardial injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation is associated with inhibiting the exogenous apoptotic pathway in rats.

Objective To compare the safety and early clinical efficacy of thoracoscopic lobectomy by nonintubated versus traditional intubated anesthesia.Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 30 patients treated with non-intubated thoracoscopic lobectomy in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June to December,2016.Meanwhile we selected 30 patients treated with thoracoscopic lobectomy by traditional intubated anesthesia as a control group.Clinical results of two groups were compared.Results There was no statistical difference in preoperative clinical data between the two groups.All patients were successfully operated.Patients in non-intubation group had shorter durations of anesthesia induction time and back to awake time,shorter duration of chest drainage and hospital stay,less C-reactive protein levels after surgery,compared with the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Non-intubated thoracoscopic lobectomy is technically feasible and safe with reduced complications of traditional anesthesia,less postoperation pain,shorter hospital stay and less hospitalization costs which fit the idea of fast recovery.
How hydrogen sulfide (H2S) protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is poorly understood. By using a slow-releasing H2S donor, we investigated if H2S protected against myocardial I/R injury by activating AMPK and restoring I/R-impaired autophagic flux. Male rats received anterior descending coronary artery occlusion followed by reperfusion. The H2S donor ADT and/or the AMPK inhibitor, compound C (CC), were administered after occlusion. Infarction was analyzed histologically. AMPK activation was assessed in the ischemic heart by analyzing phosphorylation of AMPK and S6 ribosomal protein. Autophagy was assessed by analyzing the following markers: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) I and II, lysosome associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP-2), P62 and beclin-1. We further investigated if blocking autophagic flux with chloroquine abolished ADT cardioprotection in vivo. Myocardial I/R reduced serum H2S levels, which was elevated by ADT. ADT enhanced AMPK activation and reduced infarction following I/R, and both effects were abolished by AMPK inhibition. Myocardial I/R induced autophagosome accumulation, as evidenced by the increased ratios of LC3-II/LC3-I, upregulation of beclin-1 and P62 and reduction in LAMP-2. ADT blunted these autophagic changes induced by I/R, indicating that ADT restored I/R-impaired autophagic flux. The AMPK inhibitor CC blocked ADT effects on restoring I/R-impaired autophagy flux. Moreover, chloroquine pretreatment abolished cardioprotection of ADT and increased autophagosome accumulation in the ADT-treated heart following I/R. In conclusion, AMPK activation and subsequent restoration of I/R-impaired autophagic flux are unrecognized mechanisms underlying cardioprotective effects conferred by H2S donors.
Objective To evaluate the role of nitric oxide in sevoflurane postconditioning-induced mitigation of autophagy and cell apoptosis during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in isolated rat hearts.Methods The hearts of male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 2-3 months,weighing 250-300 g,were excised and retrogradely perfused in a Langendorff apparatus.One hundred and eight isolated rat hearts,which were successfully perfused in a Langendorff apparatus,were equally and randomly divided into 6 groups:control group (C group),sevoflurane group (S group),I/R group,sevoflurane postconditioning group (SSP group),sevoflurane postconditioning + L-NAME (non-selective nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor group (SSP + L group),and L-NAME group (L group).The hearts were perfused with K-H solution for 150 min in C group.The hearts were continuously perfused for 180 min and perfused with K-H solution containing 3% sevoflurane for 15 min starting from 60 min of perfusion in S group.After being perfused with K-H solution for 30 min,the hearts were subjected to occlusion for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 120 min in the other groups except C and S groups.After onset of reperfusion,the hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing 3% sevoflurane for 15 min in SSP group,the hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing 3% sevoflurane and L-NAME 100 μmol/L for 15 and 60 min,respectively,in SSP + L group,and the hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing L-NAME 100μmol/L for 60 min in L group.Inn ediately before ischemia,and at 30,60,90 and 120 min of reperfusion,each parameter of cardiac function was recorded.At the end of reperfusion,myocardial specimens were obtained at the end of reperfusion for measurement of the infarct size,NOS activity,NO content,and expression of Bcl-2,Beclin 1 and caspase-3,for observation of formation of autophagosomes,and for examination of the pathological changes.Results Compared with C group,LVSP,+ dp/dtmax,-dp/dtmax,NOS activity and NO content were significantly decreased,and LVEDP was increased in I/R and SSP groups.Compared with I/R group,LVSP,+ dp/dtmax,-dp/dtmax,NOS activity and NO content were significantly increased,LVEDP was decreased,Bcl-2 expression was down-regulated,and the expression of Beclin 1 and caspase-3 was up-regulated in SSP group,and no significant changes were found in each index in SSP+ L and L groups.Compared with SSP group,LVSP,+ dp/dtmax,-dp/dtmax,NOS activity and NO content were significantly decreased,LVEDP was increased,Bcl-2 expression was down-regulated,and the expression of Beclin 1 and caspase-3 was up-regulated in SSP + L group.Conclusion The mechanism by which sevoflurane postconditioning reduces I/R injury may be related to promoted NO product and inhibited autophagy and cell apoptosis in isolated rat hearts.
