ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided rectus abdominis sheath block (RSB) in open gastrectomy.Methods:Forty-one patients with gastric cancer who underwent open gastrectomy in Binzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2019 to December 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to undergo either RSB with 40 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine (group A, n = 21) or RSB with 40 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection (group B, n = 20) based on total intravenous anesthesia. After skin sutures, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) was performed. Intraoperative dose of remifentanil and postoperative dose of PCA drug were compared between the two groups. Results:Intraoperative dose of remifentanil was significantly lower in the group A than that in the group B [(1 021.4 ± 172.0) μg vs. (1 415.0 ± 330.6) μg, t = -4.04, P = 0.001]. Postoperative doses of PCA drug used by 1 and 2 hours after surgery were (1.14 ± 0.90) mL and (0.85 ± 0.70) mL respectively in group A, which were significantly lower than (1.85 ± 0.70) mL and (1.45 ± 1.00) mL in the group B ( t = -5.96, -2.75, P < 0.001, P = 0.009). There were no significant differences in postoperative doses of PCA drug used by 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery between the two groups (both P > 0.05). Conclusion:RSB with 40 mL of ropivacaine applied to both sides of the incision before open gastrectomy can reduce the dose of remifentanil used during surgery and the dose of PCA drug used within 2 hours after surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinic application value of ultrasonography examination of optic nerve sheath diameter(ONSD) in brain injury.Methods From July 2008-June 2011,90 cases of brain injured patients were chosen as experimental group including light (A group),medium (B group),and heavy (C group) brain injured patients according to the admission GCS score ;50 cases of conventional physical examination and 90 cases of volunteers 50 in neurosurgical outpatient were chosen as control group.The ONSD of both groups were measured 3 mm behind the globe through orbital using color sonographic with different time after admission.3 times measurements were carried out for every optic nerve sheath.All client's ONSD mean and standard deviation were calculated.In 0.5 h after color dopplar ultrasound examination,lumbar vertebra puncturing measured intracranial pressure in different groups.Results After admission (1d,3 d,7 d,14 d),the ONSD of A group was (4.54 ±0.32)mm,(4.42 ±0.30)mm,(4.44 ±0.32) m,and (4.43 ± 0.25) mm,respectively; The ONSD of B groups was (4.48 ± 0.28) mm,(4.52 ± 0.24) mm,(4.46 ±0.28)mm,and (4.38 ±0.22)mm,respectively; The ONSD of C group was (5.67 ±0.35)mm,(6.36 ± 0.42) mm,(5.65 ± 0.23) mm,and (4.76 ± 0.35) mm,respectively.After admission (1 d,3 d,7 d,14 d),the intracranial pressure (IP) of A group was (82 ± 11) mmH2O,(79 ± 12) mmH2O,(90 ±15) mmH2O,and (86 ± 14) mmH2O,respectively; The IP of B group was (78 ± 15) mmH2O,(85 ± 10)mmH2O,(78 ± 16) mmH2O,(80 ± 11) mmH2O,The IP of C group was (225 ± 26) mmH2 O,(288 ± 23)mmH2O,(256 ± 23) mmH2O,(122 ± 18) mmH2O,respectively.Group D had the ONSD average of (4.58± 0.41)mm and IP of (88 ± 10)mmH2O after eyeball 3-mm place.No difference was found between A and B,A and D,or B and D (P＞0.05) ; A difference was found between A and C,B and C,or D and C (t =12.24～24.67,P＜0.01).Conclusions The ONSD and IP in light medium brain injured patients had no change.In patients with severe brain injury,IP changed with the time after injury,the ONSD increased with the IP,the ultrasonography examination of ONSD with the important value in the diagnosis and treatment can respond the IP increase,which is a non-invasion,convenient,fast,and feasible method for evaluation of cranial high pressure.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo apply the Schwann cell neurilemma channel(SCNC) in promoting the regeneration of injuried spinal cord.MethodsSpinal cords of rats after laminectomy at T8/9 were divided in 3 groups randomly: 10 rats were transplanted with SCNC(Group A);10 rats only made models(Group B);10 rats were as normal control group(Group C).All rats received behaviour survey and inclined plane test every week 8 weeks after operation.6 weeks after operation,they were measured with cortical somatosensory evoked potential(CSEP).And 8 weeks after operation,all specimens were studied histologically.ResultsCSEP could be recorded in group A and C,but not in group B.There were marked differenties between group A or C and group B in behavior survey,inclined plane test.Amount of nerve fibers regenerated through the injury gap in group A was significantly larger than that in group B.ConclusionSCNC could facilitate axonal regeneration and promote the repairing of injuried spinal cord.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the histopathological changes of the radial optic neurotomy (RON) in human eyes, and to establish the theoretical foundation for the effective RON. Methods Ten patients with unaffected eyeball or optic disc who had undergone ophthalmectomy (7 patients) or orbital exenteration (3 patients) because of intraocular or orbital tumor were gathered. A double-incision in pars plana was performed. One was inserted into illuminating fiber, and another was inserted into a standard microvitreoretinal (MVR) blade (unbent MVR blade in 4 patients and bent ones in 6; radial incision on nasal side of the optic disc in 4 patients and on both nasal and temporal side in 6). The histopathological examination was performed to observe the location and depth of the incision. Results Eleven incisions were found in 8 out of 10 patients, of which surgical spaces can be observed clearly. Three incisions were obliquely inserted into the optic nerves, 5 sieve plate lateral incisions had the surgical intervals connected with the subarachnoid spaces, and 3 incisions caused obvious damage of retinal ganglion cell axons due to the position close to the center. Nine incisions approached to the retrolaminal level, and the other 2 reached the laminal and prelaminal level respectively. Injured retina beside the optic disc in 1 incision was found. Central retinal vessels were not damaged. Conclusions An optimal incision may be in the edge of the lamina cribrosa, whose depth should be in the level of lamina cribrosa and retrolamina, with surgical intervals connected with the subarachnoid spaces.
ABSTRACT
The repair process of the iibial fascicle of the rabbit sciatic nerve which had been transected and sutured or simply crushed was studied by means of light and . electron microscopy.It was found that the perineurium was able to heal after the nerve had been transected and sutured through the formation of a new epineurium-perineurium tube which contained many minute fascicles of regenerated nerve fibers. The newlyformed epineurium-perineurium tubs rejoined ths two stumps of the transected epineurium theath perineurium tube. The healing process of the nerve fascicle after crushing was similar to that after transection and suturing.From the transection and suturing of the nerve to the formation of the new epineurium-perineurium tubs the sequence of pathological events occurring in the epineurium and perineurium could be divided into 3 stages, the first stage of trau-matic inflammation, degeneration and necrosis of the perineurium, the second stage of perineurial cell proliferation, and the regeneration nerve fiber growth into the pre-perineurium mass and the third stage of the formation of new small nerve fascicles.The formation of the new epineurium-perineurium tube is of vital importance to nerve regeneration, it can prevent the nerve fibers from growing astray and guide them to the distal perineurium tube. The pro-perineurial cells might originate from the proliferation of the perineurial cells, themselves.The normal histological and ultrastructural morphology of the rab bit sciatic nerve was described. The nuclei of the perineurial cells have the tendency to form palisades. It seems that this may explain the palisading of the nuclei of neurofibr-oma cells.
