Purpose We investigated the effects of intraoperative intravenous lidocaine or dexmedetomidine infusion on inflammatory factors and cognitive function in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. Patients and Methods Patients aged >65 years undergoing elective thoracoscopic lobectomy or segmentectomy were randomly grouped as dexmedetomidine group (group D), lidocaine group (group L), and control group (group C). The plasma cortisol, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α concentrations were measured before anesthesia (T0) and immediately (T1), 24 h (T2), and 48 h postoperatively (T3). Postoperative delirium (POD) was assessed by 3D-CAM on days 2 and 7. Results The cortisol concentrations decreased for all groups at T1 from T0 although they were significantly higher at T2. Group L had significantly lower interleukin-6 concentrations at T1 and T2 than the other groups ( P <0.05). The interleukin-6 concentrations were significantly higher at T1, T2, and T3 than at T0 for all the groups, significantly lower for groups D and L than for group C at T1 and T2 ( P <0.05), and significantly lower for group L than for group D at T2 ( P <0.05). The tumor necrosis factor-α concentrations were significantly higher at T1, T2, and T3 than at T0 for all the groups and significantly lower for groups D and L than for group C at T1 and T2 ( P <0.05), although they were not statistically significantly different for groups D and L. There were no statistically significant differences in the postoperative incidence of POD between the three groups on days 2 and day 7. Conclusion Intraoperative continuous intravenous lidocaine or dexmedetomidine infusion reduced surgical stress and inflammatory responses. The inhibitory effect of lidocaine on surgical stress remained significant for up to 24 h postoperatively without affecting patient awakening. However, the administration of either drug failed to prevent postoperative POD.
Under the School-enterprise collaborative mode an innovative guidance on graduation projects in colleges and universities for construction of scientific guidance model can not only help students' analytical and problem-solving ability get cultivated, their innovation capability get intensified correspondingly, but can also bring relevant positive impact on the implementation of collaborative innovation thinking and the in-depth development of school-enterprise cooperation. Therefore, colleges and universities should pay more attention to this issue, actively construct an innovated guidance model of school-enterprise collaborative students' graduation projects, and truly improve students' social adaptation ability so as to cultivate students into talents who can satisfy the demand of social construction.
With the continuous development of China's social economy and the continuous reform and innovation of housing system in recent years, China's realty business got an unprecedented development, the masses' living standard and housing conditions also got a quality improvement. Though housing has obtained many achievements, because of the aggravated population problem, China's realty business faced problems such as low greening rate, high building density and son so, which cause many difficulties for housing design and architecture. Middle and small housing is Chinese' main choice, it is also the benefit direction for reality business, therefore, architectural designer should try to make whole housing design be scientific and rational, and maximize the use of limited area and space, try to create multifunctional good quality housing, help to improve people's living quality and promote the good development of realty business.
The major enzyme encoded by the glucosinolate biosynthetic gene AOP2 is involved in catalyzing the conversion of glucoiberin (GIB) into sinigrin (SIN) in Brassicaceae crops. The AOP2 proteins have previously been identified in several Brassicaceae species, but not in Tumorous stem mustard. As per this research, the five identified members of the AOP2 family from the whole genome of Brassica juncea named BjuAOP2.1-BjuAOP2.5 were found to be evenly distributed on five chromosomes. The subcellular localization results implied that BjuAOP2 proteins were mainly concentrated in the cytoplasm. Phylogenetic analysis of the AOP2 proteins from the sequenced Brassicaceae species in BRAD showed that BjuAOP2 genes were more closely linked to Brassica carinata and Brassica rapa than Arabidopsis. In comparison with other Brassicaceae plants, the BjuAOP2 members were conserved in terms of gene structures, protein sequences, and motifs. The light response and hormone response elements were included in the BjuAOP2 genes’ cis-regulatory elements. The expression pattern of BjuAOP2 genes was influenced by the different stages of development and the type of tissue being examined. The BjuAOP2 proteins were used to perform the heterologous expression experiment. The results showed that all the five BjuAOP2 proteins can catalyze the conversion of GIB to SIN with different catalytic activity. These results provide the basis for further investigation of the functional study of BjuAOP2 in Tumorous stem mustard glucosinolate biosynthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
