ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine combined with ulinastatin on postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing resection of gastrointestinal tumor. Methods A total of 180 elderly patients (97 males,83 females,aged 65-80 years,ASA grade Ⅱ orⅢ)who underwent laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal tumor,were randomized into four groups (n =45 each):dexmedetomidine group (group D),ulinastatin group (group U),dexmedetomidine+ulinastatin group (group DU)and control group (group C).Patients in group D were given a loading dosage of dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg intravenously 1 5 min before the induction of general anesthesia,followed by a continuous infusion of 0.3 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 ,and dexmedetomidine was ad-ministered till 40 min before the end of surgery.Patients in the group U were given a loading dosage of ulinastatin 10 000 U/kg intravenously in 20 min.In group DU,dexmedetomidine and ulinastatin were administered in accordance in group D and group U respectively.Patients in group C were given 0.9% saline solution.The volume of blood loss,the time of operation and recovery,the adverse reac-tions after surgery were recorded.The concentration of dopamine (DA),adrenaline (AD),norepi-nephrine (NE)were measured within the preoperative 1 d (T0 ),within the first hour of surgery (T1 ),within the postoperative 1 d (T2 ),2 d (T3 ),3 d (T4 ).The confusion assessment method Chi-nese reversion (CAM-CR)was used to screen POD on T0 ,T2-T4 .Results The levels of DA,AD and NE in the group C and group U at T1-T4 significantly elevated than those at T0 (P <0.05);the levels of DA at T1 and the levels of AD at T1 ,T2 in group D and group DU significantly elevated than those at T0 (P <0.05).The levels of DA,AD at T3 ,T4 and the levels of NE at T1-T4 in group D and group DU were significantly reduced compared with those in the group C and group D (P <0.05 ). Compared with the group C,the incidence of POD was significantly reduced in the group D,group U and group DU (P <0.05).Among the three groups (D,U and DU),the difference were not statisti-cally significant in the incidence of POD.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine or ulinastatin may reduce the rate of POD in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal tumor.Compared with the administration of ulinastatin or dexmedetomidine alone,combined application of dexmedeto-midine and ulinastatin does not reduce the incidence of POD.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To regain bile excretory function of hepatocytes cultured in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sandwich configuration was used to culture hepatocytes and the structure of bile canaliculi as well as the function of bile excretion was observed by immunocytochemistry and the test of FDA metabolism with a single collagen configuration as a control.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>First, the formation of bile canaliculi was observed by immunocytochemistry. In sandwiched hepatocytes, the gradual development of bile canaliculi-like structures into an anastomotic network was observed. At 24 h after cell culture, the formation of bile canaliculi was observed. With time progressed, the bile canaliculi became more clear and the network was established at 120 h. In contrast, hepatocytes in single collagen configuration showed almost no network of bile canaliculi. Second, the ability for hepatocytes to internalize, metabolize and excrete compounds into bile was indicated by FDA metabolized in the hepatocytes. In sandwiched hepatocytes, the bile excretory function was shown at 96 h, but in single collagen system, no bile excretion was observed.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Cultured hepatocytes are able to regain bile excretion in a given certain condition. Sandwich-cultured hepatocytes can reestablish bile canalicular structure and regain bile excretory function.</p>

AIM To investigate the effect of hydroxyl camptothecinum(HCPT) on pharmocokinetics of cyclosprine A(CsA) and the membrane lipid fluidity (LFU)of red cell in rabbits. METHODS The whole blood concentration of CsA in rabbits was monitored using method of FPIA. The LFU of red cell was measured using method of DPH fluorescence polarization technique. RESULTS The pharmocokinetic parameters of CsA in group CsA+HCPT such as a,V(c),K12 and CL(s) were significantly lower and T1/2(a) was significantly higher (P<0.05) than in group CsA. The concentration of CsA of group CsA+HCPT was higher after injection 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 h, but have significantly high at 1.0 h point (P<0.05). After injection 0.5,1.0, 1.5 h the LFU of red cell in group CsA+HCPT was higher than in group CsA (P<0.05). The LFU in group CsA was lower that in control at 0.5,1.0 and 1.5 h point (P<0.05). CONCLUSION HCPT can enhance the whole blood concentration of CsA in rabbits. CsA administrated with HCPT is feasible.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin-methane sulfonic acid (LF-MSA)in 8 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis after administration 400 mg orally.METHODS The concentrations of LF-MSA in serum were measured by HPLC.The pharmacokinetic paramters were obtained using 3P97 program.RESULTS The results showed that a one-compartment model with 1 st order absorption were fitted for LF-MSA.The average values of tmax was 1.22 h.The concentrations of LF-SA in serum was (4.52±0.72) mg*L-1.The mininal concentrations of LF-AS at 24 hr after a single dose was (0.52±0.26) mg*L-1.The average area under the curve was (48.35±5.38) mg*h*L-1.The elimination half-life was (6.49±1.70) h.The apparent volume of distribution was (77.48±8.33)L.CONCLUSION According to our study,it was suggested that 400 mg twice daily may be given in order to maintain the concentrations of LF-SA in serum around 24 hours above the minimal concentrations of bactericide.
ABSTRACT
Objective To develop a new culture system in which hepatocytes can restore in-vivo like function. Methods Sandwich configuration was used for the culture of hepatocytes, and protein synthesis as well as P 450-b ,albumin mRNA expression by in situ hybridization was studied. ResultsStable and gradually increasing protein synthesis and high level of P 450-b , albumin mRNA expression were observed. In contrast, protein secretion of hepatocytes cultured in conventional single collagen culture system was low and decreased until approximately zero seven days after, and mRNA expression of P 450-b ,albumin was low. Conclusions Sandwich configuration in which cell polarity of hepatocytes is reestablished like in vivo situation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To reestablish cell polarity of hepatocytes cultured in vitro.Methods Sandwich configuration was used to culture hepatocytes. The morphology as well as specific plasma proteins were compared with a single collagen configuration.Results In sandwich configuration hepatocytes were arranged in single cell plate, and the gradual development of bile canaliculi like structures and an anastomotic network were observed over the course. Histochemical immunolocation revealed that membrane proteins were distributed specifically. Hepatocytes in single collagen configuration showed hardly any hepatic plate like structure,and the distribution of specific plasma protein was not formed. Conclusions Sandwich cultured hepatocytes reestablished cell polarity structurally and regained the characteristics of hepatocytes in situ.
