Objective To explore the optimal indication and safety of managing ectopic pregnancy by intramuscular injection of high dose of methotrexate.Methods The patient with unruptured ectopic pregnancy was injected with 50mg/m 2 of methotrexate, the injection of methotrexate was repeated at the same dose if the level of the ?-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin continues to rise or maintain at a high level 7 days after the primary injection.Results Of 109 cases,100 the patients with ectopic pregnancy were succeeded by conservative therapy. The total success rate was 91 7%. The success rate was 97 7% in patients with a level of the ?-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin less than 2 5 nmol/L (the normal value is less than 0 82nmol/L), whereas it was 66 7% in patients with a level of the ?-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin greater than 2 5nmol/L, the difference was statistically significant (P
Résumé
Objective To compare the effects of epidural administration of different combinations of lidocaine, corticosteroids (dexamethasone, prednisolone) and vitamins(B 1,B 6,B 12 ) on epidural space adhesion and nerve root inflammation in rabbits Methods Forty eight adult Japannese white rabbits of either sex weighing (2 38?0 31)kg were anesthetized with intramuscular ketamine 15 mg?kg -1 and midazolam 0 2 0 3 mg?kg -1 A catheter was inserted into epidural space at L 2 when the ligamentum flavum was exposed by surgery and advanced caudally for 2 3cm Correct placement of the catheter in epidural space was confirmed by injecting 0 5% lidocaine 0 2 ml through the cathter when the animal was awake 24h after epidural cathter placement 0 2ml?kg -1 of normal saline containing talcum power 1mg?ml -1 was injected into epidural space 3 days later the animal were randomly divided into 8 groups: group Ⅰ received no treatment, group Ⅱ epidural normal saline 0 2ml?kg -1 , group Ⅲ epidural 0 5% lidocaine 0 2ml?kg -1 , group Ⅳ epidural compound lidocaine solution 1 (lidocaine 100mg +dexamethasone 10 mg in 20 ml normal saline) 0 2ml?kg -1 , group V epidural compound lidocaine solution 2 (lidocaine 100mg+prednisolone 50 mg in 20 ml normal saline)0 2 ml?kg -1 , group Ⅳ epidural compound lidocaine solution 3 (lidocaine 100mg+dexamethasone 10 mg+vitamin B 1 200mg in 20 ml normal saline) 0 2 ml/kg, group Ⅵ epidural compound lidocaine solution 4 ( lidocaine 100mg+dexamethasone 10 mg+vitamin B 6 200mg in 20 ml normal saline) 0 2 ml/kg, and group Ⅷ epidural compound lidocaine solution 5 (lidocaine 100mg+dexamethasone 10 mg+vitamin B 12 200mg in 20 ml normal saline) 0 2 ml/kg One week later animals were killed by intravenous injection of air Spinal column below L 1 was removed Epidural space and nerve root adhesion was checked first with naked eye then examined under microscope Epidural space adhesion was divided into 4 grades according to Rydell Results 1 Macroscopic examination of epidural space for adhesion: there was no significant different between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ,Ⅲ, also between group Ⅱ,Ⅲ and group Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅵ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ; there was significant different between group Ⅰ and groupⅣ,Ⅴ,Ⅵ,Ⅵ,Ⅷ (P
