不同镇痛方式对全膝关节置换术后镇痛效果及炎性反应的影响

目的探讨神经刺激仪引导下连续股神经阻滞(continuous femoral nerve block,CFNB)镇痛或静脉镇痛对全膝关节置换术(total knee arthroplasty,TKA)后患者镇痛效果及炎性反应的影响。方法择期行单侧全膝关节置换术患者60例,ASAⅠ或Ⅱ级,年龄51~71岁,体重50~77kg,随机均分两组:PCIA组和患者自控股神经镇痛组(PCNA组)。PCIA组:术后持续输注芬太尼镇痛;PCNA组:在神经刺激仪引导下行股神经置管,术后连续股神经阻滞镇痛。分别于术前、术毕、术后6、12、24和48h时采集股静脉血,检测IL-6及IL-10浓度。观察并记录术后2、12、24、36、48h静止时和术后24、48、72h运动时VAS评分。记录尿潴留、低氧血症(SpO290%)、恶心、呕吐、嗜睡不良反应发生情况及追加哌替啶例数。结果与术前比较,术后各时点PCIA组IL-6、IL-10浓度明显升高(P0.05),PCNA组术后6、12hIL-6和术后6、12、24hIL-10浓度明显升高(P0.05)。与PCNA组比较,术后各时点PCIA组IL-6浓度明显升高(P0.05),而术后6h时PCIA组IL-10浓度明显降低(P0.05)。与PCNA组比较,PCIA组术后2、12、24、36、48h静止时VAS评分和术后24、48、72h运动时VAS明显升高(P0.05)。与PCNA组比较,PCIA组术后恶心、嗜睡、追加哌替啶例数明显增加(P0.05)。两组无一例患者发生低氧血症。结论神经刺激仪引导下连续股神经阻滞镇痛效果良好,不良反应少,可以减轻TKA术后患者机体炎性反应。

Immunosuppressive and metabolic agents that influence allo- and xenograft survival by in vivo expansion of T regulatory cells

The transplanted organs or cells survive if the recipient receives adequate long-term immunosuppressive therapy. Immunosuppressive therapy combined with cell-based strategies (eg, regulatory T cell [Treg]-based therapy) promotes graft survival. A combination of Treg-based therapy and minimal or no immunosuppressive drug therapy would have the potential to minimize the risks of the complications and side effects of these drugs. Fortunately, some immunosuppressive and other agents not only impede the effector T cell response, but also help generate new CD4⁺ Tregs from conventional effector T cells. These agents include IL-2, TGF-β, agents that block the CD40/CD40L costimulation pathway, mTOR inhibitors, and histone deacetylase inhibitors. Consequently, a state of relative unresponsiveness to the transplanted organ may be induced through the expansion of Tregs. We here review the effect of these various agents on expansion of CD4⁺ Tregs in allo- and xenotransplantation. The expansion of Tregs might allow a dose reduction of the standard immunosuppressive drugs.
