Objective To discuss the effect of continuous phenylephrine infusion and single-dose phenylephrine injection on puerpera undergoing spinal and epidural combined anesthesia and the infant outcomes. Methods A total of 50 patients scheduled for selective cesarean section under combined spinal and epidural anesthesia were selected as the study subjects between July 2015 and June 2016. They were randomly allocated into two groups with 25 in each. Group CII underwent continuous phenylephrine infusion [0.5 μg/(kg·min)] immediately after anesthesia to adjust the blood pressure, while group CON accepted single-dose phenylephrine injection (50 μg) after anesthesia when systolic pressure was lower than 90 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) or when the decrease of mean arterial pressure (MAP) was higher than 20% of the base value. The infusion of phenylephrine was stopped after the fetus was taken out. MAP, cardiac output, cardiac index (CI) at the time when the patient went into the delivery room (T1), before anesthesia (T2), 1 minute after anesthesia (T3), 3 minutes after anesthesia (T4), 10 minutes after anesthesia (T5), and delivery (T6) were recorded. Blood gas analysis of fetal umbilical arterial blood was carried out and neonatal Apgar score was recorded. Results Hemodynamics was more stable in group CII compared with group CON. Heart rate at T4 and T5, and cardiac output at T5 and T6 in group CON were significantly lower than those in group CII (P<0.05). The neonatal umbilical arterial blood pH value, base excess and HCO3－ were all significantly lower, while partial pressure of carbon dioxide was significantly higher in group CON than group CII (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with single-dose phenylephrine injection, continuous phenylephrine infusion has more stable hemodynamics, and exert less effect on maternal and infant outcomes for patients undergoing cesarean section under combined spinal and epidural anesthesia.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the association between the variants of HNF1B gene and the risk of prostate cancer.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect case-control studies on the association between the variants of HNF1B gene and risk of prostate cancer from inception to December, 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 14.0 software.ResultsA total of 15 case-control studies involving 30 532 patients and 38 832 controls were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: there was a strong significant association between rs4430796 variants (Gvs.A: OR=0.802, 95%CI 0.784 to 0.821, P<0.001; GGvs.AA: OR=0.659, 95%CI 0.606 to 0.717, P<0.001; AGvs.AA: OR=0.762, 95%CI 0.714 to 0.814, P<0.001), rs11649743 variants (Avs.G: OR=0.875, 95%CI 0.820 to 0.941, P<0.001; AAvs.GG: OR=0.669, 95%CI 0.564 to 0.792, P<0.001; AGvs.GG: OR=0.855, 95%CI 0.798 to 0.916, P<0.001), rs7501939 variants (Avs.G: OR=0.833, 95%CI 0.807 to 0.859, P<0.001), rs3760511 variants (Avs.C: OR=0.834, 95%CI 0.803 to 0.868, P<0.001) and risk of prostate cancer.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that HNF1B gene variants are associated with risk of prostate cancer. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo establish a model of fetal hyperglycemia and explore the effects of hyperglycemia on alveolar cell apoptosis,proliferation and the development of lung structure in neonatal rats. MethodsForty SD pregnant rats were randomly divided into a hyperglycemia group (STZ group) and a normal pregnancy group (N group)(n=20 in each group). The rats in STZ group and N group were intraperitoneally injected streptozotocin(STZ,40 mg/kg) or the same bulk of citrate buffer respectively at the 4.5 days after gestation. Blood glucose concentration of the pregnant rats was measured before injection,at the 6.5,11.5,16.5 and 20.5 days after gestation,respectively. The weight,survival rate,lung weight,septal thickness,radical alveolar count,alveolar cell apoptosis and proliferation of neonatal rats were recorded after birth immediately (D0) and at 7 days (D7). ResultsCompared with N group,the blood glucose level increased after intraperitoneal injection of STZ in STZ group (P<0.05). The Survival rate of STZ group was lower than that of N group at D0 and D7 (P=0.00). The neonatal weight,lung weight,septal thickness of STZ group were lower compared with those of N group at D0(P<0.05). However,there was no significant difference between two groups in radical alveolar count. The alveolar apoptosis index of STZ group was higher than that of N group at D0 [(11.8±1.1)% vs. (3.4±0.7)%,P=0.00]. Alveolar cell proliferation significantly increased in STZ group compared with N group at D0 and D7 (P<0.05). ConclusionsThe fetal hyperglycemia model is successfully established by intraperitoneal injection of STZ 40 mg/kg. Fetal hyperglycemia can increase mortality,alveolar cell proliferation and apoptosis,and affect the development of lung structure of neonatal rats.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of different rehydration strategies on the incidence of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension and neonatal outcomes during elective cesarean section.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochran Library, China National Knowledge Internet, VIP database, Wanfang database, and China Biology Medicine database from inception to January 2018, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the incidence of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension during elective cesarean section and neonatal outcomes of preloading or coloading. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the study. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 11 RCTs were included, including 894 parturients, of whom 448 cases in the preload group and 446 cases in the coload group. Comparing with the preload group, the incidence of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension during cesarean section in the coload group significantly decreased [risk ratio (RR)=1.27, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.13, 1.43), P<0.000 1]. Subgroup analysis showed that in the crystalloid fluid group, the difference in the incidence of hypotension between the preload group and the coload group was statistically significant [RR=1.48, 95%CI (1.26, 1.73), P<0.000 01]; while in the colloidal fluid group, the difference in the the incidence of hypotension between the preload group and the coload group was not significant [RR=1.00, 95%CI (0.85, 1.17), P=0.96]. The lowest systolic blood pressure, the incidence of nausea and vomiting, and neonatal outcomes had no significant difference between the two groups.ConclusionsComparing with preloading crystalloid fluid, rapid infusion of crystalloid fluid at the same time implementation of spinal anesthesia could significantly reduce the incidence of hypotension during cesarean section while there was no superiority in infusion of colloid fluid. There was no significant effect on the severity of hypotension, nausea and vomiting, and neonatal outcomes. Due to the limitation of the quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusions need to be verified by more high-quality studies.
