Item Effect of Esketamine Added to Propofol Sedation on Desaturation and Hypotension in Bidirectional Endoscopy: A Randomized Clinical Trial(American Medical Association, 2023-12-01) Song, Nan; Yang, Yi; Zheng, Zhong; Shi, Wen-Cheng; Tan, Ai-Ping; Shan, Xi-Sheng; Liu, Hong; Meng, Lingzhong; Peng, Ke; Ji, Fu-Hai; Anesthesia, School of MedicineImportance: Propofol sedation is widely used for endoscopic procedures, but it poses risks of hemodynamic and respiratory depression. The addition of esketamine as an adjuvant may reduce propofol requirements and associated adverse events. Objective: To evaluate the effects of low-dose esketamine added to propofol-based sedation on desaturation and hypotension during same-visit bidirectional endoscopy. Design, setting, and participants: This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial assessed patients from 3 teaching hospitals in China who were scheduled for same-visit bidirectional endoscopy between February 8 and November 30, 2022, and randomly assigned to receive esketamine or normal saline (placebo). Interventions: After induction of sedation with 0.1 μg/kg of sufentanil and 0.5 mg/kg of propofol, patients in the esketamine group received 0.15 mg/kg of intravenous esketamine, whereas patients in the placebo group received an equivalent volume of saline. Sedation was achieved through propofol titration. Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was the composite of desaturation and hypotension during the procedures. Secondary outcomes included desaturation, hypotension, propofol requirements, postprocedure pain and fatigue, nausea or vomiting, dizziness or headache, hallucination or nightmare, endoscopist satisfaction, and patient satisfaction. Results: Among the 663 initially enrolled patients, 660 completed the study (median [IQR] age, 48 [36-57] years; 355 [53.8%] female), with 331 randomized to the esketamine group and 329 to the placebo group. The administration of esketamine compared with placebo significantly reduced the incidence of the composite outcome of desaturation and hypotension (8.2% vs 21.0%; difference, -12.8 percentage points; odds ratio [OR], 0.34; 95% CI, 0.21-0.54; P < .001). Additionally, esketamine led to significantly lower incidences of desaturation (OR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.18-0.72; false discovery rate q = .01) and hypotension (OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.18-0.60; q < .001) and reduced propofol requirements (difference, -58.9 mg; 95% CI, -65.7 to -52.2 mg; q < .001), without significant effects on other secondary outcomes. Conclusions and relevance: In this randomized clinical trial of patients undergoing same-visit bidirectional endoscopy, the administration of low-dose esketamine resulted in an approximately 61% reduction in the incidence of desaturation and hypotension, accompanied by decreased propofol requirements. These findings support the use of esketamine as an adjuvant to propofol-based sedation in endoscopic procedures.Item Single-cell transcriptome and antigen-immunoglobin analysis reveals the diversity of B cells in non-small cell lung cancer(BMC, 2020-06-24) Chen, Jian; Tan, Yun; Sun, Fenghuan; Hou, Likun; Zhang, Chi; Ge, Tao; Yu, Huansha; Wu, Chunxiao; Zhu, Yuming; Duan, Liang; Wu, Liang; Song, Nan; Zhang, Liping; Zhang, Wei; Wang, Di; Chen, Chang; Wu, Chunyan; Jiang, Gening; Zhang, Peng; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of MedicineBackground Malignant transformation and progression of cancer are driven by the co-evolution of cancer cells and their dysregulated tumor microenvironment (TME). Recent studies on immunotherapy demonstrate the efficacy in reverting the anti-tumoral function of T cells, highlighting the therapeutic potential in targeting certain cell types in TME. However, the functions of other immune cell types remain largely unexplored. Results We conduct a single-cell RNA-seq analysis of cells isolated from tumor tissue samples of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and identify subtypes of tumor-infiltrated B cells and their diverse functions in the progression of NSCLC. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry experiments on two independent cohorts confirm the co-existence of the two major subtypes of B cells, namely the naïve-like and plasma-like B cells. The naïve-like B cells are decreased in advanced NSCLC, and their lower level is associated with poor prognosis. Co-culture of isolated naïve-like B cells from NSCLC patients with two lung cancer cell lines demonstrate that the naïve-like B cells suppress the growth of lung cancer cells by secreting four factors negatively regulating the cell growth. We also demonstrate that the plasma-like B cells inhibit cancer cell growth in the early stage of NSCLC, but promote cell growth in the advanced stage of NSCLC. The roles of the plasma-like B cell produced immunoglobulins, and their interacting proteins in the progression of NSCLC are further validated by proteomics data. Conclusion Our analysis reveals versatile functions of tumor-infiltrating B cells and their potential clinical implications in NSCLC.
