Objective: In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant treatment to ropivacaine in children undergoing upper limb surgeries under ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus blocks and general anesthesia.

Methods: We enrolled 90 children (aged 1-8 years; ASA I-II) undergoing closed reduction and internal fixation for upper extremity fractures at the Xiamen Children's Hospital and randomly assigned them to one of two groups: L (injection with 0.25% ropivacaine) or D (injection with 0.

The authors utilized a multi-scale edge extraction method to extract feature information of nearinfrared spectroscopy. Applying partial least-squares to charactcristic data obtained, the authors set up a linear mathematical model of the correlation between NIR spectrum and metronidazole contents. The result shows that the multi-scale extraction method can separate and extract feature information, and can be seen as an effective method of spectrum information extraction.
