Randomized Controlled Trial
Analgesic effect of preoperative dezocine-based local anesthesia in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair.
This study was performed to investigate the analgesic effects of intramuscular injection of dezocine-based local anesthesia in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. ⋯ Dezocine-based local anesthesia can attenuate postoperative pain and increase the comfort level during and after herniorrhaphy.

Chronic inflammation of the arteries is a critical mechanism responsible for coronary atherosclerosis. We aimed to determine if tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like cytokine 1A (TL1A) and decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) were involved in promoting atherosclerosis. ⋯ CAD patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting have high circulating levels of both TL1A and DcR3, which may thus be useful biomarkers for diagnosing severe CAD. Furthermore, plasma levels of TL1A correlate with SYNTAX score, supporting its potential use as an indicator of the severity of CAD.
