Latest ArticlesTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine injection combined with esketamine injection in the treatment of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma radical resection.
Patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma radical resection were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. The treatment group will receive intravenous administration of 0.6 μg·kg-1 dexmedetomidine 10 minutes before anesthesia induction. Subsequently, anesthesia induction will be performed with intravenous administration of 0.5 mg·kg-1 esketamine. Anesthesia maintenance will be achieved with intravenous infusion of 0.25 mg·kg-1·h-1 esketamine and 0.3 μg·kg-1·h-1 dexmedetomidine used an infusion pump. The control group will receive intravenous administration of an equivalent volume of 0.9% NaCl 10 minutes before anesthesia induction. Anesthesia induction will then be performed with intravenous administration of 2.5-5.0 μg·kg-1 fentanyl. Anesthesia maintenance will involve intravenous infusion of 0.10-0.25 μg·kg-1·min-1 remifentanil used an infusion pump. The anesthesia effectiveness, analgesic effectiveness, hemodynamics and safety were compared between the two groups.

To investigate the expression of microRNA-508-3p (miR-508-3p) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) tissue, its impact on the migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells, and its regulatory relationship with zinc-finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1).
The surgical resection of EOC cancer tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues were collected. SKOV3 cells were divided into the NC mimic group (transfected with NC mimic), miR-508-3p mimic group (transfected with miR-508-3p mimic), si-NC group (transfected with si-NC), si-ZEB1 group (transfected with si-ZEB1) and co-transfection group (co-transfected with si-ZEB1 and miR-508-3p mimic). The mRNA expression levels of miR-508-3p and ZEB1 in EOC cancer tissues, adjacent normal tissues and five groups of cells were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The Transwell assay was used to detect the cell migration and invasion abilities.
The relative expression levels of miR-508-3p in EOC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were 0.77±0.36 and 1.07±0.40, the relative expression levels of ZEB1 mRNA in EOC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were 2.10±1.21 and 1.29±0.95, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). The migration cell number of the NC mimic, miR-508-3p mimic, si-NC, si-ZEB1 and co-transfection groups was 633.00±32.49, 319.20±19.89, 650.40±25.85, 375.00±17.25 and 129.40±17.10; the invasion cell number was 527.20±25.01, 288.60±16.68, 520.00±25.83, 293.40±18.37 and 76.60±8.76; the relative expression levels of miR-508-3p were 1.05±0.37, 3.94±1.21, 1.01±0.21, 1.26±0.34 and 3.40±0.41; the relative expression levels of ZEB1 mRNA were 1.00±0.04, 0.58±0.05, 1.00±0.08, 0.54±0.07 and 0.29±0.03, respectively. The above indicators showed statistically significant differences between the miR-508-3p mimic group and the NC mimic group, between the si-NC group and the co-transfection group (P<0.01, P<0.05).
MiR-508-3p is lowly expressed in EOC cancer tissue, and it may inhibit the migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells by targeting ZEB1 expression.

The probiotics group was given 0.625 g·kg-1 bifidobacterium triple viable solution by gavage. The blank and model groups were given the same dose of distilled water by gavage. Four groups were treated for 15 d with once a day. The expression levels of GPR41, GPR43, P38 MAPK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular regulatory protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) in colon tissues were detected by Western blotting.

To evaluate the effects of fasting and high-fat diet on the pharmacokinetics of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets in healthy Chinese subjects.
A single-center, randomized, open, two-agent, two-sequence, four-cycle, fully repeated crossover, single-dose trial design was used in this study, healthy subjects were assigned to receive single dose of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets 0.1 g in either fasting or high-fat diet state, and blood samples were taken at different time points, respectively. The concentrations of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated in plasma were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), the model method of the non-compartmental was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters by Phoenix WinNonlin 8.2.

After high-fat diet, the Cmax and AUC of rapeprazole sodium after high-fat and high-calorie diet decreased, Cmax decreased by 6.12%, AUC0-t decreased by 5.05%, AUC0-∞ decreased by 5.01%, and tmax was delayed by about 3.34 h. Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞90% confidence interval were 73.13%-115.10%, 83.22%-112.28% and 83.40%-112.13%, respectively. Neither was between 85.00%-125.00%.
High-fat diet affects the absorption rate and degree of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated, so it is suitable to be administered on an empty stomach.
