ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the optimum compatibility of nabufine mixed with flurbiprofen for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods A total of 210 patients,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia,were divided into 4 groups using a random number table method:sufentanil 2.0 μg/kg+flurbiprofen axetil 2.0 mg/kg group (SF group,n =55),nalbuphine 1.5 mg/kg+flurbiprofen axetil 2.0 mg/kg group (N1 F group,n=49),nalbuphine 2.0 mg/kg+flurbiprofen axetil 2.0 mg/kg group (N2F group,n =55) and nalbuphine 3.0 mg/kg +flurbiprofen axetil 2.0 mg/kg group (N3F group,n=51).PCIA solution was prepared correspondingly after surgery in each group.The PCA pump was set up to deliver a 1 ml bolus dose with a 15-min lockout interval and background infusion at 2.0 ml/h.Nalbuphine 5 mg or sufentanil 5 μg was intravenously injected as a rescue analgesic to maintain visual analogue scale score at rest ＜4 at 48 h after surgery in SF and N1 F-N3F groups.Ramsay sedation scores were recorded on admission to post-anesthesia care unit (T1),at the time of post-anesthesia care unit discharge (T2) and at 6,24 and 48 h after surgery (T3-5).The total pressing times of PCIA in 0-6 h,6-24 h and 24-48 h periods after surgery and requirement for rescue analgesics were recorded.The incidence of adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting,drowsiness and shivering within 48 h after surgery was also recorded.Results Compared with group SF,the incidence of nausea and vomiting was significantly decreased in N1 F and N2F groups,the requirement for rescue analgesics was significantly decreased,and the total pressing times of PCIA was reduced in N2F and N3 F groups,and Ramsay sedation scores at T3,4 were significantly increased in group N3F (P＜0.05).Compared with group N1 F,the requirement for rescue analgesics was significantly decreased,and the total pressing times of PCIA was reduced in N2F and N3F groups,and the incidence of nausea and vomiting and Ramsay sedation scores at T3,4 were significantly increased in group N3F (P＜0.05).Compared with group N2F,the incidence of nausea and vomiting was significantly increased (P＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the requirement for rescue analgesics,total pressing times of PCIA or Ramsay sedation scores in group N3F (P＞0.05).Conclusion Nabufine 2.0 mg/kg mixed with flurbiprofen 2.0 mg/kg is the optimum compatibility when used for PCIA after gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of intra-tumor injection of slow-release 5-FU on pancreatic carcinoma cells in nude mice,and on changes in serum tumor markers and cellular immunity of patients with pancreatic carcinoma.Methods (1) In vitro experiments, the releasing action and anti-tumor effect of slow-release 5-FU were studied. Measurement of the concentration of effused fluid,calculation of amount of drug released,and observation of the inhibitory effects of effused fluid on PC3 strains of pancreatic cancer cellswere perfomed.(2) Human pancreatic carcinoma strain PC-3 cells were cultured and inoculated into 60 nude mice,and were randomly divided into 5 groups according to various treatments received: NS injection as control group(A group), 5-FU (10 mg/kg)IV injection group(B group), stroma implant group(C group), intra-tumor injection of high dose slow-release 5-FU (4mg/kg) group(D group) and intra-tumor injection of low dose slow-release 5-FU (1mg/kg) group(E group). Tumor size were measured before and 14 days after treatment. On week 2, histological changes of the tumors were examined. The apoptotic index (AI) of the tumor cells was detected by terminal-deoxynucleotide transferase mediated d-UTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) and expression of bcl-2 and Bax by immunohistochemistry.(3) 69 cases of unresectable pancreatic carcinoma were divided into 3 groups randomly:intra-tumor injection of slow-release 5-FU treated group(treatment group), intra-venous injection of 5-FU group( chemotherapy group), and control group. The serum values of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/ CD8+, NK cells, CEA, CA50, CA19-9, CA125 and CA242 were measured in all patients 1 day before and 14 days after operation. Results (1) There was 0.85 mg 5-FU released in the 1st day and 0.45 mg 5-FU released in the 3rd day. The release remained constant at 0.25 mg and continued for about 14 days. (2) The tumor growth suppression rate on the 1st day by effusion fluid of slow-release 5-FU was 60.27% and on the 3rd day was 34.25%. Later, it remained at about 25.00%. The tumor growth rate was slower in D and E group than in other groups (P
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the roles of overexpression of RON receptor tyrosine kinase in motile/invasive ability of human colorectal cancer cell line RKO.METHODS: A eucaryotic expression vector pDR2 containing full-length wt-RON cDNA was transfected into the colorectal cancer cell line RKO and a stable expression clone was obtained.The motile/invasive ability was tested by wound healing test and the transwell migration assay.The expression of E-cadherin was measured by Western blotting.RESULTS: Motile ability of transfected RKO was greatly promoted by transwell chemotaxis assay(P
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the influence of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat on TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL)-mediated apoptosis in human colon cancer cell line DLD-1 and its possible mechanism. METHODS: Adenovirus-mediated TRAIL gene AD/hTERT-gTRAIL was applied either alone or by combination with Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat in human colon DLD-1 cell line. Cell growth and apoptosis were measured by inverted microscope, MTT method and flow cytometry. The expression of TRAIL mRNA, TRAIL-Rs mRNA and TRAIL protein expression after exposure to Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat were measured by semi-quantitive RT-PCR and FACS, respectively. RESULTS: The suppression percentages and apoptotic rate of DLD-1 by Ad/hTERT-gTRAIL alone were 31.4% and 13.5%, respectively. Combination of TRAIL gene transfection with Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat, the suppression and the apoptosis rate raised to 93.1% and 45.4%, respectively (P
