Efficacy of Electroacupuncture Combined with Tropisetron in Treating Carboprost Tromethamine-Induced Nausea and Vomiting during Cesarean Section under Lumbar Anesthesia.

Objective: We evaluated the efficacy of electroacupuncture combined with tropisetron in treating carboprost tromethamine-induced nausea and vomiting during cesarean section under lumbar anesthesia.

Methods: A total of 264 patients aged 22-40 years were enrolled, who received carboprost tromethamine and suffered nausea and vomiting during cesarean section under lumbar anesthesia. The patients were divided randomly into the control group, electroacupuncture group, tropisetron group, and electroacupuncture + tropisetron group.

Penehyclidine hydrochloride inhibits the release of high-mobility group box 1 in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW264.7 cells and cecal ligation and puncture-induced septic mice.

Background: High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a critical mediator in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases. Penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) has been proven to reduce sepsis-related mortality and sepsis-induced pathological complications. These effects are because of the reduced expression and release of many inflammatory mediators, although it is not clear whether PHC affects the expression and release of HMGB1.

Degradation of reactive brilliant red in aqueous solution by ultrasonic cavitation.

Degradation of reactive brilliant red K-BP in aqueous solution by means of ultrasonic cavitation was investigated for a variety of operating conditions. It is found that the degradation of reactive brilliant red K-BP in aqueous solution follows pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics and the degradation rate is dependent on the initial concentration of reactive brilliant red K-BP, the temperature and acidity of the aqueous medium. The effects of Fe2+, Fenton reagent and NaCl addition on the sonochemical degradation of reactive brilliant red K-BP were also investigated.
