ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the blood-saving effect of prophylactic tranexamic acid (TXA) use in the patients undergoing cervical spine surgery.Methods A total of 100 patients of both sexes,aged 55-75 yr,with body mass index of 19.0-25.0 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing elective cervical laminectomy and instrumentation,were divided into TXA group and normal saline group (group NS) using a random number table,with 50 patients in each group.TXA 15 mg/kg was intravenously injected at 30 min before skin incision in group TXA,and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group NS.Hemoglobin was measured before operation and on postoperative days 1,3 and 5.The intraoperative,postoperative,total blood loss,hidden blood loss and requirement for blood (allogeneic and autologous blood) transfusion were recorded.The development of complications such as epidural hematoma,deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism was also recorded.Results Compared with group NS,the postoperative blood loss,total blood loss and blood transfusion rate were significantly decreased,the postoperative hemoglobin was increased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the intraoperative blood loos or hidden blood loss in group TXA (P＞0.05).No patients developed complications such as epidural hematoma,deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism in the two groups.Conclusion Prophylactic TXA use produces blood-saving effect to some extent in the patients undergoing cervical spine surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evalutate the effects of different doses of sufentanil combined with low target plasma concentration of propofol for induction of anesthesia on hemodynamics in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting using Swan-Ganz catheter.Methods Fifty ASA physical status Ⅱ-Ⅲ patients (NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ) patients,aged 45-64 yr,with body mass index ≤ 30 kg/m2 and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50 ％,scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting,were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n =25 each) using a random number table:sufentanil 0.5μg/kg group (group S1) and sufentanil 1.0 μg/kg group (group S2).Central venous catheter and Swan-Ganz catheter were all placed via the right jugular vein before induction of anesthesia.Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of sufentanil 0.5 μg/kg (group S1) or 1.0 μg/kg (group S1),and 60 s later propofol was given by target-controlled infusion (target plasma concentraion 2 μg/ml).Rocuronium 0.8 mg/kg was administered when consciousness was lost.The patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.Before induction (T1),immediately after loss of consciousness (T2),immediately before intubation (T3),and immediately after intubation (T4),HR,mean artery pressure monitoring (MAP),central venous pressure (CVP),pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP),cardiac index (CI),stroke volume index (SVI),systolic vascular resistance and mixed venous oxygen saturation (Sv-O2) were recorded.The development of adverse cardiovascular events was recorded during induction of anesthesia.Results Compared with the baseline value at T1,the MAP and systolic vascular resistance were significantly decreased at T3 in group S2 (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant changes were found in the parameters of hemodynamics at T2-4 in group S1 (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group S1,the MAP was significantly decreased at T3 and the incidence of hypotension was increased in group S2 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For the patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting,the optimum dose of sufentanil for induction of anesthesia is 0.5 μg/kg when combined with low target plasma concentration of propofol.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the effects of static tensile strai n on the secretion of prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PLFs). Methods: Human PLFs were treated by tensile strain values of 0%,8%,12%,16% and 20% for 24, 48 and 72 h respecti vely with a self-devised loading apparatus in vitro. All samples were rando mly allocated into 15 groups and there were 3 in each group. After treatment cu lture media of the samples were collected and the content of PGE 2 in each medi um sample was determined using RIA ELISA. The data analysis was carried out with SPSS using Dunnett test. Results: In group of 0% the sec retion of PGE 2 by PLFs per day had no relation with loading time; E 2 secre tion increased with the increace of loading time and with the tensile strain va lue in the group of 8%,12% and 16%(P
