Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to 0.5% ropivacaine in ultrasound ‐guided axillary brachial plexus block
Summary What is known and objectiveThe aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of dexmedetomidine added to ropivacaine on the onset and duration of sensory and motor block and duration of analgesia of ultrasound‐guided axillary brachial plexus block. MethodsThirty‐seven ASA physical status I‐II patients with elective forearm and hand surgery under ultrasound‐guided axillary brachial plexus block were randomly divided into 2 groups. Patients in ropivacaine‐dexmedetomidine group (group RD, n = 19) received 15 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine with 100 μg (1 mL) dexmedetomidine, and patients in ropivacaine group (g...

The rapid ‐onset antidepressant effect of ketamine: More surprises?
Summary What is known and objectiveAn effective rapid‐onset treatment for major depressive disorder could save lives. Extensive preclinical and clinical data demonstrate such an action of ketamine. However, the presumptive mechanism of action, inhibition of NMDA (N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate) receptors, has recently been challenged. Elucidation of the mechanism is important clinically for drug discovery and for understanding the (patho)physiology of depression. CommentThe best‐known pharmacologic property of ketamine is non‐competitive inhibition of the NMDA subtype of glutamate receptor. Although other mechanisms have...

Influence of genetic variants of IDH1, IDH2, TET2 and DNMT3A on cytarabine cytotoxicity in different populations
This study is aimed to explore the association between influence of genetic variants of IDH1, IDH2, TET2 and DNMT3A on cytarabine cytotoxicity in European and/or African populations. MethodsHapMap cell lines derived from European descent (CEU) and African descent (YRI) were exposed to ara‐C at different concentrations (1, 5, 40 and 80 μmol/L). The per cent survival values at each concentration were determined after 72‐hour exposure to ara‐C. The area under the survival curve (AUC) was calculated using the trapezoidal rule, and AUC values were log2‐transformed before statistical analysis. The 15 tagged single nucl...

Comparison of pharmacodynamic effects of ticagrelor vs prasugrel in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with coronary heart disease
This study, involving 140 patients with T2DM following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), evaluated the efficacy of aspirin upon concomitant use of prasugrel (10 mg/d) or ticagrelor (90 mg/d). Platelet reactivity was assessed by value of ADP‐induced light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) and vasodilator‐stimulated phosphoprotein phosphorylation‐platelet reactivity index (VASP‐PRI) at baseline, 7 and 30 days after randomized P2Y12 inhibitor treatment. ResultsThe study showed a decreased platelet reactivity after use of P2Y12 inhibitors (both P < .001). On the basis of comparison between regimens, apar...
