This study aimed to investigate the impact of dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine on continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) in postoperative analgesia and delirium in elderly patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A total of 120 patients who undergone TKA were randomly assigned into group D + R (dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine) and group R (only ropivacaine), with 60 cases in each group. The pain scores at rest and exercise at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h postoperatively.

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate whether oxygenation using a nasal mask can reduce the incidence of hypoxemia during gastroscopy under intravenous anesthesia compared with a traditional nasal cannula.
Methods: A total of 574 patients scheduled for gastroscopy under intravenous anesthesia were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either a nasal mask or a traditional nasal cannula for oxygenation.
Pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea: A case report and review of the literature.
World J Clin Cases
December 2020
Article Synopsis
- Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign salivary gland tumor, but tracheobronchial PA is rare, with fewer than 50 documented cases, including a recently reported case of a 49-year-old woman treated for asthma.
- The patient experienced significant breathing difficulties and diagnostic imaging revealed a 2.4 cm obstruction in the lower trachea, leading to a diagnosis of tracheal PA based on histopathological findings.
- Tracheobronchial PA is typically diagnosed around age 48, affects both genders equally, commonly presents with cough and other respiratory symptoms, and generally has a low chance of recurrence.
The relationship between steps of 6MWT and COPD severity: a cross-sectional study.
Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis
July 2019
Background And Objective: The distance of 6-minute walk test (D6MWT) has been widely used in the assessment of functional status in patients with COPD, while very little attention has been paid to the role of steps of 6-minute walk test (S6MWT). The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between S6MWT and other physiologic parameters of COPD.
Patients And Methods: Seventy patients with stable COPD were enrolled consecutively in this cross-sectional study.
Serum citrulline as a diagnostic marker of sepsis-induced intestinal dysfunction.
Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol
April 2015
Objective: To investigate the use of citrulline as an indicator for diagnosing septic acute intestinal dysfunction (SAID) in a rat model.
Methods: SD rats were divided into three groups: a normal group (A), a model group (B), and a glutamine group (C). Group B was divided into a 36-h group (B1) and a 72-h feeding group (B2).
