ABSTRACT

Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital disease presenting a characteristic triad of abdominal muscle deficiency, urinary tract abnormality, and cryptorchidism with associated anomalies of various systems. We report the anesthetic management of an infant with PBS with no obvious facial deformity in whom we encountered an unanticipated difficult airway. Multiple attempts to secure the airway with different supraglottic airway devices were unsuccessful and the trachea could be intubated only on the second attemp

ABSTRACT

Background: Although traditional use of Tridax procumbens aqueous leaf extract (TPALE) in the management of respiratory disorders is documented, validated scientific evidence is scarce. Aim and Objectives: Trachea smooth muscle (TSM) relaxant activity of TPALE ingestion was investigated in the presence or absence of key TSM relaxant agents. This was with the aim at elucidating relaxant activity of TPALE on TSM. Materials and Methods: Contractile activity of TSM excised from TPALE treated (100 mg/kg) and non-treated rats was assessed pre - and post-incubation in salbutamol (10?4 M), theophylline (10?4 M), caffeine (10?4 M), naringin (10?4 M), and naringenin (10?4 M) using organ chamber connected to a force isometric transducer (Model 7004; Ugo-Basile VArese, Italy). Results: TPALE treatment significantly inhibited contractile activity in TSM. TPALE treated rats showed significantly inhibited contractile activity of the TSM pre (45.6%) and post-incubation (35%) in theophylline when compared to control pre (90.6%) and post-incubation (60%). Incubation of TSM from control and TPALE treated rats in salbutamol, significantly inhibited contractile activity (33.2%) and (37.2%), respectively. After incubation in caffeine, TSM from TPALE treated rats showed significant inhibition in the contractile activity (30.7%) as TSM from control postincubation (38.4%). TSM of TPALE-treated group pre-incubation showed significant inhibition in contractile activity (41.8%) when compared to the TSM of TPALE-treated Group (59.3%) and control (64.5%) post-incubation in naringin. However, incubation of TSM of TPALE-treated rats in naringenin significantly inhibited contractile activity (40.4%) when compared to pre-incubation (45%) and control pre - and post-incubation, respectively (52% and 90%). Conclusion: Calcium-activated K+ channels, ?2 adrenergic stimulation, and antioxidant activity contribute to the mediation of relaxant activity by TPALE in TSM.

ABSTRACT

The accelerometry(AMG) muscle relaxant monitor is the most widely used quantitative muscle relaxant monitor to assess the degree of neuromuscular at present. In this study, the ulnar nerve was stimulated by using train of four stimulation(TOF) mode of the AMG muscle relaxant monitor, and the movement of the adductor pollicis muscle was monitored. In this way, the distribution range of key parameters (acceleration peak value, response time, and TOF ratio) of the adductor pollicis muscle during the use of muscle relaxant in clinical practice is analyzed and will provide a practical basis for the development and improvement of the muscle relaxant monitor.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To observe the effect of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) autologous blood transfusion on the EEG bispectral index and muscle relaxation in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery to explore the influence of autologous blood transfusion containing anesthetic components on the quality and safety of postoperative anesthesia recovery. METHODS: Forty patients, aged 65-75, weighing 55-80 kg, ASA grade I-II, with an estimated intraoperative blood loss of more than 600 mL, were selected for elective orthopedic surgery. The patients were randomly divided into two groups (n=20): group A was given acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), and the target value of Hct was 28%-30% after induction of anesthesia; group B was the control group which was given routine fluid infusion during operation without ANH. Bispectral index (BIS), TOF values and plasma concentrations of propofol and cisatracurium were measured at the beginning of autotransfusion (T

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the effect of different anesthesia management on clinical outcomes in former prematurely born infants undergoing surgeries for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).@*METHODS@#In this retrospective study, electronic medical record database was searched for all former prematurely born infants (gestational age < 37 weeks and post conceptual age < 60 weeks) who received ROP surgery under inhalational general anesthesia between November 2016 and October 2018. The patients were divided into two groups based on anesthesia management: laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion without intravenous muscle relaxant injection and with pressure support ventilation (LMA group) or airway secured with endotracheal tube (ETT) with intravenous muscle relaxant injection and pressure controlled ventilation (ETT group). Primary outcomes included perioperative adverse events and complications. Extubation time and length of stay after surgery were also recorded.@*RESULTS@#Sixty eight preterm infants in the LMA group and 100 preterm infants in the ETT group were included. The incidence of adverse events during surgery (including airway management change and desaturation) was similar in LMA group and ETT group (4.4% vs. 1.0%, P =0.364). During the early recovery period after surgery, the incidence of difficult extubation (extubation time >30 min) was significantly lower in LMA group compared with ETT group (4.4% vs.15.0%, RR=0.262, 95%CI:0.073-0.942, P=0.029). The incidence of respiratory events was similar between the two groups (20.6% vs. 27.0%, P =0.342). However, the incidence of apnea was significantly lower in the LMA group than in the ETT group (5.9% vs.19.0%, RR=0.266, 95%CI: 0.086-0.822, P =0.015). No significant difference was observed between the LMA group and ETT group in incidences of cardiovascular events (0% vs. 1.0%, P =1.000) and unplanned admission to neonatal intensive care unit (5.9% vs. 7.0%, P=0.774). No airway spasm, re-intubation, aspiration or regurgitation was observed during early recovery. During late recovery after returning to ward, the incidence of adverse events was also similar between the two groups (0% vs. 2.0%, P =0.241). The median (IQR) extubation time was 6 (5, 10) min in LMA group and 10 (6, 19) min in ETT group (P < 0.001). The median length of stay after surgery was significantly shortened in LMA group compared with ETT group [20 (17, 22) hours vs. 22 (17, 68) hours, P =0.002].@*CONCLUSION@#Compared with endotracheal intubation with intravenous muscle relaxant injection, laryngeal mask airway insertion without muscle relaxant could achieve an early extubation, and reduce the incidence of apnea during early recovery period in former prematurely born infants undergoing ROP surgery.

ABSTRACT

Muscle relaxant monitor is a research hotspot in the field of clinical anesthesiology. According to the research status at home and abroad, combing the developing history of muscle relaxant monitor, detecting principle, a variety of electrical stimulation mode, and a variety of detection ways, this study reviews and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various testing methods and application status, provides technical research foundation for the degree of nerve block for quantitative assessment of muscle relaxant monitor instrument design. Meanwhile, we advocate that clinicians should use quantitative muscle relaxant monitor as much as possible in the perioperative period to reasonably guide the use of muscle relaxants so as to reduce the risk of complications caused by residual effects of muscle relaxants and provide more scientific and accurate digital guidance for assessing the degree of muscle relaxants of patients.

ABSTRACT

An aberrant pharmacodynamics responses to neuromuscular blocking drugs(NMBD)in burn patients increases the potential for lethal hyperkalemia with the administration of depolarizing muscle relaxant eg:succinylcholine and 2.5–5 folds increase in the dose of plasma concentration requirement for non–depolarizing muscle relaxants like :D–tubocurarine,metacurine,pancuronium,atracurium,vecuronium.Therefore Rocuronium may be the drug of choice in burn patients.This study was planned to assess the onset time and intubating conditions with two different doses of rocuronium in patients with thermal injury.It was concluded that in non–burn patient onset time(loss of response to TOF) was 85.5�4.8 sec with a dose of 0.9 mg/kg as compared to 1.2 mg/kg it was 60.55�70.4,while in burn patients (more than 30% burn area) these values were 120.83�6.81 sec and 86.16�5.2 respectively.

ABSTRACT

Peperomia hispidula (Sw.) A. Dietr. is used in Mexican traditional medicine for treating respiratory illnesses such as asthma. The latter disorder results from an excessive and inappropriate constriction of airway smooth muscle. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relaxant activity of P. hispidula on isolated rat tracheal rings contracted with carbachol. The methyleugenol was identified as the main active constituent in the dichloromethane extract. To explore the possible mechanism of action, concentration-response curves were constructed in the presence and absence of propranolol (3 µM), indomethacin (10 µM), glibenclamide (1 µM), and L-NAME (300 µM), finding that neither reduced methyleugenol-induced smooth muscle relaxation. In conclusion, P. hispidula herein displayed relaxant activity on rat tracheal rings. The effect of methyleugenol, was probably not related to the activation of ß2-adrenoceptors, prostaglandins, K+ATP channels or nitric oxide.


Peperomia hispidula (Sw.) A. Dietr. es utilizada en la medicina tradicional mexicana para tratar enfermedades respiratorias como el asma. Este último trastorno es el resultado de una contracción excesiva e inapropiada del músculo liso de las vías respiratorias. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la actividad relajante de P. hispidula sobre anillos aislados de tráquea de rata contraídos con carbacol. El metileugenol fue identificado como el principal constituyente activo en el extracto de diclorometano. Para explorar el posible mecanismo de acción, se construyeron curvas concentración-respuesta en presencia y ausencia de propranolol (3 µM), indometacina (10 µM), glibenclamida (1 µM), y L-NAME (300 µM), encontrando que ninguno redujo la relajación del músculo liso inducida por metileugenol. En conclusión, P. hispidula muestra actividad relajante en anillos de tráquea de rata. El efecto de metileugenol, al parecer no está implicado con la activación de los receptores ß2-adrenérgicos, prostaglandinas, canales de K+ATP u óxido nítrico.

ABSTRACT

Background: Skeletal muscle relaxants are a heterogeneous group of drugs. As a group, they are structurally and pharmacologically diverse. Skeletal muscle relaxants are usually used as adjunct therapy when initial therapy fails. They are commonly used to treat fibromyalgia, low back pain, neck pain, tension head ache, myofascial pain and muscle spasm.Methods: There were 28 mice were randomly divided into seven groups, each group consists of 4 mice. Group 1(Control): Mice were treated with normal saline and placed on rotating rod with a speed of 18 rpm (ideal speed). Group 2 (Standard-S1): Mice were treated with Nitrazepam at the dose of 2mg/kg body weight and placed on rotating rod. Group 3 (Standard-S2): Mice were treated with Nitrazepam at the dose of 3mg/kg body weight and placed on rotating rod. Group 4 (Standard-S3): Mice were treated with Nitrazepam at the dose of 4mg/kg body weight and placed on rotating rod. Group 5 (Test-T1): Mice were treated with Thiocolchicoside at the dose of 2mg/kg body weight and placed on rotating rod. Group 6 (Test-T2): Mice were treated with Thiocolchicoside at the dose of 3mg/kg body weight and placed on rotating rod. Group 7 (Test-T3): Mice were treated with Thiocolchicoside at the dose of 4mg/kg body weight and placed on rotating rod.Results: In this model inter drug comparisons were carried out with nitrazepam and thiocolchicoside. It was found that both nitrazepam and thiocolchicoside produced central muscle relaxant effect when assessed by rotarod. On iter drug comparision of nitrazepam and thiocolchicoside it was found that by increasing concentration of drug, increased the muscle relaxant property.Conclusions: When assessed by rotarod, it was found that both nitrazepam and thiocolchicoside demonstrated muscle relaxant property but with increased doses of thiocolchicoside produced more muscle relaxant property than the increase in doses of nitrazepam.

ABSTRACT

Candida species inhabit the oral cavity of all individuals who wear complete denture and whose material is the same as that used in splints. Assess the growth of C. albicans in occlusal and palatal splints used for treatment of TMD so that the potential risks of oral microbiota can be assessed. The growth of Candida spp. was assessed in the saliva of 27 individuals wearing splints for treatment of TMD. They were divided into two groups: G1 (n = 14), individuals wearing occlusal splint; and G2 (n = 13), individuals wearing palatal splint. Saliva samples were collected during placement of the splints (T1) and after 4 months (T2), being stored in PBS (10 mL) after 60-second rinses. It was observed that patients wearing occlusal splints (G1) had an increase of 0.648 CFU/mL (Log 10), with statistically significant differences (P = 0.043) for C. albicans (42.33%), C. glabrata (5.52%), C. krusei (41.72%) and C. tropicalis (10.43%). In the group of patients wearing palatal splints (G2), there was a decrease of 0.101 CFU/mL (Log 10), was observed with (P = 0.964) only the presence of C. albicans. The results suggest that growth of Candida species was greater in patients wearing occlusal splints compared to those wearing palatal ones as the presence of different yeast species was found in the former.


Espécies de Candida habitam a cavidade oral de 60-100% de indivíduos usuários de prótese total, cujo material é o mesmo utilizado em placas miorrelaxante. Avaliar o crescimento de C. albicans. em placas relaxantes musculares oclusais e palatais, usadas para o tratamento de DTM, na intenção de verificar riscos em potencial à microbiota bucal. Avaliou-se o crescimento de Candida spp. na saliva de 27 indivíduos, usuários de placa miorrelaxante, em tratamento para DTM no ICT-UNESP. Os indivíduos foram divididos em dois grupos: G1(n=14) ­ placa com recobrimento oclusal; e G2 (n=13) ­ sem recobrimento. As coletas foram com PBS (10mL), em bochechos por 60seg, na instalação das placas (T1) e após 4 meses (T2). Observou-se que pacientes usuários da placa miorrelaxante com recobrimento oclusal (grupo G1) apresentaram aumento de 0,648 UFC/mL (Log10) com diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,043) analisando-se 42,33% C. albicans, 5,52% C. glabrata, 41,72% C. krusei e 10,43% C. tropicalis. No grupo de pacientes que utilizaram a placa sem recobrimento (grupo G2), observou-se diminuição de 0,101 UFC/mL (Log10) com (p=0,954) apresentando apenas C. albicans. Os resultados sugerem que os pacientes que fizeram uso de placa miorrelaxante com recobrimento oclusal apresentaram maior crescimento de Candida spp. em relação aos usuários de placa sem recobrimento, verificando-se a presença de diferentes espécies da levedura.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To synthesize and isolate silver and gold nanoparticles from Litchi chinensis leaf methanolic extract, and to evaluate its comparative biological activities including muscles relaxant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal. Methods: The gold and silver nanoparticles were synthesized by dissolving methanolic extract in gold chloride and silver nitrate solution separately which were confirmed by colour change and UV-Vis spectroscopy, and pellets were collected through centrifugation. Biological activities of the extract were conducted on BALB/c mice through various standard methods and the data were subjected to One-way ANOVA. Results: The colorless gold chloride solution changed to purple soon after the addition of plant extract, demonstrating that the reaction took place and gold ions were reduced to gold nanoparticles, while colorless silver nitrate solution changed to light and dark brown that was indicative of silver nanoparticles. The muscles relaxant activity showed that silver nanoparticles were more effective than gold nanoparticles and methanolic extract in traction test. The analgesic activity showed that silver and gold nanoparticles showed highest percentage decrease in acetic acid induced writhing at the doses of 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg b.w. The highest anti-inflammatory activity was produced by gold nanoparticles followed by silver nanoparticles, while low activity was observed in methanolic leaf extract. Only the crude methanolic extract showed significant antidiarrheal activity as compared to the standard drug atropine sulphate, while antidiarrheal activities of gold and silver nanoparticles were non-significant. Conclusions: The present work concludes that isolated silver and gold nanoparticles from leaf methanolic extract shows strong muscles relaxant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities while crude methanolic extract possesses good antidiarrheal activity.

ABSTRACT

It is theoretically thought that Paeoniae Radix (shakuyaku) has a sour taste and astringent action in traditional Chinese medicine. To examine the practical taste of shakuyaku, 12 volunteers sampled the decoction of Paeoniae Radix Rubra (sekishaku) and Paeoniae Radix Alba (byakushaku). Each volunteer determined how sekishaku and byakushaku taste among “five tastes” : sweet, salty, bitter, sour, or spicy. Most volunteers chose bitter taste and none of them chose sour taste as the foremost taste of shakuyaku. At least in the modern age, shakuyaku may have little sour taste. In this article we discussed the astringent action and the muscle relaxant action of shakuyaku with reference to the sour taste.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Phlomidoschema parviflorum (Benth.) Vved. (Basionym: Stachys parviflora Benth.) Lamiaceae, have significance medicinal importance as it is used in number of health disorders including diarrhea, fever, sore mouth and throat, internal bleeding, weaknesses of the liver and heart genital tumors, sclerosis of the spleen, inflammatory tumors and cancerous ulcers. The present contribution deals with the sedative and muscle relaxant like effects of diterpenoids trivially named stachysrosane and stachysrosane, isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of P. parviflorum. Both compounds (at 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg, i.p) were assessed for their in vivo sedative and muscle relaxant activity in open field and inclined plane test, respectively. The geometries of both compounds were optimized with density functional theory. The molecular docking of both compounds were performed with receptor gamma aminobutyric acid. Both compounds showed marked activity in a dose dependent manner. The docking studies showed that both compounds interact strongly with important residues in receptor gamma aminobutyric acid. The reported data demonstrate that both compounds exhibited significant sedative and muscle relaxant-like effects in animal models, which opens a door for novel therapeutic applications.

ABSTRACT

Various changes in ocular position are possible during general anesthesia as opposed to the awakening state. However, unexpected ocular deviation under general anesthesia is a disconcerting event as it can lead to difficult complications intraoperatively. To date, sudden fixed upward ocular deviation has been rarely reported previously. This phenomenon was observed in an 8-year-old boy during strabismus surgery. Suddenly fixed upward ocular deviation occurred when the speculum was inserted into the right eye. When the eyeball was pulled down, using forceps, there was some resistance, such as contracture of superior rectus. The eyeball sprang back into the upward position when the forceps was released. These changes could hamper the good exposition of the surgical field, leading to significant intraoperative difficulties and complications. Surgeons should be aware of this possibility, despite general anesthesia; if it occurs, proceed with the surgery as planned preoperatively, and both ophthalmic and anesthetic interventions should be used to solve this problem.

ABSTRACT

To observe the feasibility and safety of general anesthesia without muscle relaxant tracheal intubation combined with right stellate ganglion block (SGB) on patients undergoing oropharyngeal surgery.60 patients undergoing selective oropharyngeal surgery were randomly and equally divided into 2 groups:named in non muscle relaxation group and combination group.MAP,HR,SpO2 and PETCO2 were recorded before administration (T0),immediately before tracheal intubation(T1),and immediately after tracheal intubation(T2),and immediately after skin incision (T3).The VAS score at 4,8,12,24 h after surgery were also recorded.The difference of the satisfactory intubation conditions was not statistically significant.MAP and HR were increased at T2 and T3 as compared with non muscle relaxation group.Compared with combination group,HR increased at T2 and T3 in group A.The VAS of patients in combination group was lower than non muscle relaxation group (P < 0.05).Stellate ganglion block on patients undergoing oropharyngeal surgery in general anesthesia without muscle relaxant might provide not only satisfactory intubation conditions but also provoke earlier recovery and improve the quality of postoperartive analgesia.
