ABSTRACT
Objective To determine ED50 and ED95 of oxycodone inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation together with target concentration infusion of propofol.Methods ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 18-65 years,with body mass index 18.5-24.9 kg/m2,falling into Mallampati Score Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia,were enrolled.Anesthesia was induced with intravenous injection of oxycodone,target concentration infusion of propofol with plasma concentration of 4μg/ml and intravenous injection of rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg when BIS＜60.The patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.The initial dose of oxycodone was 0.2 mg/kg.The dose of oxycodone was increased/decreased by ratio of 1.1 in the next patient by modified Dixon's up-and-down method.The response to endotracheal intubation was defined as an increase in the maximum mean arterial pressure and/or the maxmium heart rate≥20％ of the baseline value with 2 minute after intubatior.Probit analysis was used for calculating ED50,ED95 and 95％ confidence interval (CI) of oxycodone inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation.Results There were twenty-seven patients who completed the test finally.ED50 and ED95 (95％ CI)of oxycodone inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation were respectively 0.204 (0.175-0.249)mg/kg and 0.342(0.287-0.409) mg/kg.Conclusion When plasma target concentration of propofol 4 μg/ml is infused,ED50 and ED95 of oxycodone inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation is 0.204 and 0.342 mg/kg,respectively.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of propofol used alone and in combined with opioids in gastroscopy,in order to select the more suitable anesthesia protocol.Methods A total of 285 pa-tients undergoing gastroscopy were selected in April ,201 5 in our hospital,including 105 males,180 females,ranging from 18 to 65 years old,weighing 40-90 kg,falling the category of ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ. According to random number table,subjects were divided into four groups:dezocine group(group D, n =76),fentanyl group (group F,n =87),oxycodone group (group O,n = 71 )and control group (group C,n =5 1).Each group was implemented the corresponding anesthesia.SBP,DBP,HR,SpO 2 in baseline(T0 ),1(T1 ),3(T2 ),5(T3 )min after entering gastroscope were recorded.Choking cough, body movement,extra propofol,awakening time and inspecting time were observed.Results Among four groups,there was no statistical significance in age,gender,weight,blood pressure,heart rate and oxygen saturation and other general information.There were more cases given extra propofol in group C than in the other three groups (P <0.01 ).While for the experimental groups,there were more cases needing extra propofol in group O than in group D and group F (P < 0.01 ).The incidences of body movement and choking cough in group C were higher than those in the other three groups (P <0.01 ).Compared with the group C,dosage of propofol ,awakening time in the three groups,especially in group D,were much lower (P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Propofol in combination with opioids for sedation during painless gastroscopy can alleviate adverse reaction caused by propofol used alone.The more suitable anesthesia protocol is propofol with dezocine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of ephedrine and phenylephrine on hemodynamics in the patients undergoing surgery in prone position under general anesthesia.Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-60 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-2:5.0 kg/m2, scheduled for elective posterior lumbar interbody fusion under general anesthesia, were randomized to ephedrine group (group E, n =30) or phenylephrine group (group P, n =30).When hypotension [decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) ＞20％ of the baseline value, T0] occurred in supine position, SBP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI) and central venous pressure (CVP) were recorded, and ephedrine 0.1 mg/kg (group E) or phenylephrine 1 μg/kg (group P) was injected via the central veins.The parameters mentioned above were recorded within 10 min after administration (T1-T10).Results Both ephedrine and phenylephrine could maintain the parameters of hemodynamics at the normal level.Compared with the baseline values at T0 , SBP, DBP, MAP and HR at T1-T10 and CO and CI at T2-T10 were significantly increased, and no significant change was found in CVP at each time point after administration in group E, and SBP and MAP at T1-T6, DBP at T1-T5, CVP at T2 and T3, and CO and CI at T1-T3 were significantly increased, and HR was decreased at T2 and T3 in group P.Compared with group P, SBP was significantly decreased at T1, and increased at T2-T10, DBP and MAP were decreased at T1, and increased at T3-T10, HR was increased at T1-T10, CO and CI were increased at T2-T10, and CVP was decreased at T1-T3 in group E.Conclusion Compared with phenylephrine, although ephedrine provides no significant effect on hemodynamics clinically, it can increase cardiac output to some extent in the patients undergoing surgery in prone position under general anesthesia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the role of heparanase in endotoxemia-induced destruction of vascular endothelial glycocalyx in rats.Methods Forty-eight pathogen-free male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 200-250 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=16 each) using a random number table: control group (group C), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (group L) and LPS+ heparin group (group LH).Endotoxemia was induced by intravenous LPS 15 mg/kg in L and LH groups, and heparin sodium 100 U · kg-1 · h-1 was infused simultaneously in group LH.At 3 and 6 h after LPS injection, blood samples were collected from the femoral vein for determination of the serum concentrations of serum heparin sulfate (HS), syndecan-1, E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed, and lungs were removed for microscopic examination and for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio).Results Compared with group C, the serum HS, syndecan-1, E-selectin and ICAM-1 concentrations and W/D ratio were significantly increased in group L, and the serum HS and ICAM-1 concentrations were increased in group LH (P＜0.05).Compared with group L, the serum HS, syndecan-1, E-selectin and ICAM-1 concentrations and W/D ratio were significantly decreased in group LH (P＜0.05).The pathological changes of lungs were obvious in group L, and were significantly mitigated in group LH.Conclusion Heparanase is involved in endotoxemiainduced destruction of vascular endothelial glycocalyx in rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on hemodynamics and tra-cheal intubation facility in general anesthetized patients.Methods Forty gynecological patients of se-lective operation under general anesthesia were randomly arranged into 2 groups:group D and group C.With high flow mask oxygen inhalation(5 L/min),dexmedetomidine was intravenously pumped in-to the patients in group D at 0.6μg/kg in 10 minutes while in group C saline were given instead.Both groups were then proceeded with rapid sequence induction (RSI)immediately.The values of MAP, HR,PaO2 and PaCO2 were recorded every minute from pumping start till 15 minutes,the bucking, intubation time and glottis exposure were evaluated as well.Results No significant differences were found in intubation time or glottis exposure between these two groups.After tracheal intubation group D showed higher MAP value than group C at 14,15 minutes,and a lower HR value (P <0.05).Even no significant differences were found in values of SpO2 and PaO2 ,the group D showed less bucking than the group C (P<0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine administration at 0.6μg/kg in RSI can diminish the variation in hemodynamics and facilitate the tracheal intubation by less buc-king,but no affect the oxygen reserve.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the pressor responses to ephedrine during general anesthesia with different drugs.Methods Sixty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,scheduled for elective gastrointestinal tumor resection under general anesthesia,aged 20-64 yr,weighing 45-90 kg,were included in this study.The patients were randomized to receive dexmedetomidine + remifentanil + sevoflurane (group Ⅰ,n =20),propofol + remifentanil + sevoflurane (group Ⅱ,n =20),or dexmedetomidine + propofol + remifentanil + sevoflurane (group Ⅲ,n =20) to maintain the depth of anesthesia.Ephedrine 0.1 mg/kg was injected intravenously when the systolic blood pressure (SBP) was decreased to about 90 mm Hg during anesthesia.Blood pressure was monitored and recorded at 1-min intervals for 10 min after the injection.The onset time (TSBP,TDBP,TMAP) for ephedrine to raise the SBP,diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the maximal amplitude (△SBP,△DBP,△MAP) were also recorded.Results Compared with Ⅱ group,TSBP,TDBP and TMAP were significantly shortened,and △SBP,△DBP and △MAP were increased in Ⅰ and Ⅲ groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with propofol + remifentanil + sevoflurane combined anesthesia,dexmedetomidine + remifentanil + sevoflurane combined anesthesia and dexmedetomidine + propofol + remifentanil + sevoflurane combined anesthesia augment the pressor responses to ephedrine in patients.
ABSTRACT
This study examined the possible role of p120ctn in the pathogenesis and development of pancreatic cancer. PANC-1 cells, a kind of human pancreatic carcinoma cell line, were cultured in this study. p120ctn was immunocytochemically detected in PANC-1 cells. The recombinant lentivirus vector was constructed to knock down the p120ctn expression of PANC-1 cells. Real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) and Western blotting were used to determine the expression of p120ctn and E-cadherin in PANC-1 cells after p120ctn knockdown. The adhesion, invasion and migration capacity of PANC-1 cells after p120ctn knockdown was detected by cell adhesion, invasion and migration assays. Cell growth was measured by the MTT method. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The results showed that p120ctn knockdown led to significantly down-regulated E-cadherin and a reduced cell-to-cell adhesion ability in PANC-1 cells. shRNA-mediated knockdown of p120ctn reduced invasion and migration capacity of PANC-1 cells, inhibited cell growth, caused a significant decrease in the percentage of cells in G(1), an increase in S, and promoted apoptosis of PANC-1 cells. It was concluded that p120ctn plays a pivotal role in the proliferation and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma, suggesting that p120ctn is a novel target for pancreatic carcinoma treatment.
