抗焦虑对胃癌根治术患者七氟烷用量及术后恢复的影响

目的:研究劳拉西泮联合咪达唑仑对择期胃癌根治术患者抗焦虑作用的有效性,及该方法对术中七氟烷用量和术后疼痛的影响.方法:观察组手术前1d服劳拉西泮,术前40min静注咪达唑仑,术中BIS监测控制麻醉深度,观察两组患者术前Spielberge状态—特质焦虑问卷(STAI)评分,术中七氟烷用量,麻醉恢复时间及术后2、6、24h疼痛VAS评分.结果:观察组状态-特质焦虑问卷评分低于对照组(S-AI:53.60±4.45vs62.70±3.98,P<0.05;T-AI:54.78±3.97vs65.65±4.21,P<0.05),七氟烷的使用量少于对照组(34.70±0.46vs36.20±0.44,P<0.05).两组术后苏醒及拔管时间无统计学差异.两组患者术后6、24hVAS评分,观察组低于对照组(6hVAS评分:3.45±1.60vs4.89±1.91,P<0.05;24hVAS评分:3.51±1.76vs5.17±1.71,P<0.05).结论:劳拉西泮联合咪达唑可以减轻术前患者的焦虑状态,减少术中七氟烷的使用,有利于减轻患者术后疼痛.     

Neuro-cognitive impairment in breast cancer patients: pharmacological considerations

Post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment has been an issue of concern in cancer survivors. While most reviews are focused on patient-related factors, it is proposed that drug-related factors may also be determinants. The objective of this review is to study the relationship between the types and dose intensities of chemotherapy regimens on cognitive impairment in breast cancer patients through a systematic literature search. Eighteen prospective studies were selected. The types, dose intensities and durations of chemotherapy regimens received by subjects were compared against prevalence results obtained in individual studies. It was observed that the duration of impairment varied across different generations of chemotherapy regimens. Concurrent administration of multiple cytotoxic agents can lead to a synergistic decline on cognition. Current clinical evidence is insufficient to evaluate the relationship between the types, dose intensities of chemotherapy regimens and cognitive impairment. More investigation is needed to examine the role of pharmacological factors in chemotherapy-associated cognitive changes.     

Prevalence of syphilis infection in different tiers of female sex workers in China: implications for surveillance and interventions

Background

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of invasive infection in young children causing morbidity and mortality. Active surveillance systems of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) are recommended worldwide. The aim of this study was to estimate the current incidence of IPD and to describe the serotype distribution and the antimocrobial susceptibility of S. pneumoniae isolates in children aged less than 5?years residing in North-West Lombardy, Italy.

Methods

A twelve-month prospective active surveillance system recruited all children aged less than 5?years admitted for suspicion of IPD at emergency room of ten hospitals located in the monitored area. Blood samples were taken in all participants for confirmation of IPD based on isolation of S. pneumoniae from blood. Pneumococcal meningitis and sepsis were additionally confirmed by cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Serotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed on isolates from blood.

Results

A total of 15 confirmed cases of IPD were detected among 135 recruited children, including pneumonia (n?=?8), bacteremia (n?=?4), sepsis (n?=?2) and meningitis (n?=?1). The annual IPD incidence rate was 50.0/100,000 (95%CI, 30.5-82.5/100,000). Incidence was 58.3/100,000 (28.8-120.1/100,000) among children aged less than 2?years and 44.4/100,000 (22.9-87.5/100,000) among children aged 2?C4?years. Thirteen isolates were typified. The most common serotype was 19A (23.1%) that together with serotypes 1, 7F and 19F accounted for 69.2% of typified isolates. Serotypes 14, 23F, 12B and 15C were also identified. The 7- and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines covered respectively 30.8% and 84.6% of typified IPD cases. One isolate (serotype 15C) was penicillin-resistant and caused meningitis.

Conclusions

The inclusion of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in immunization programs of young children might be considered to reduce incidence and morbidity of invasive pneumococcal disease in this surveilled population.
