RESUMEN
Objective:To compare the efficacy of HES 130/0.4 and acetate Ringer′s solution (A-HES) and HES 130/0.4 and normal saline (NS-HES) for volume therapy in the patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery with general anesthesia.Methods:Two hundred and fifty American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-32 kg/m 2, undergoing noncardiac surgery with general anesthesia, were divided into group A-HES and group NS-HES using the stratified block randomization technique.A-HES and NS-HES 15 ml/kg were intravenously infused over 1 h immediately after induction of anesthesia in A-HES and NS-HES groups, respectively.Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and central venous pressure (CVP) were recorded before and after infusion, and the maximum changing rate of MAP and HR and the maximum change in CVP were calculated.The pH value, BE and HCO 3- were recorded before infusion and at 15 min after the end of infusion, and Hb, Hct, electrolytes, blood glucose, blood biochemical parameters and parameters of coagulation function were measured.The occurrence of abnormal blood biochemical parameters, blood glucose, and parameters of coagulation function, intraoperative requirement for vasoactive drugs, occurrence of HES-related adverse events, and intraoperative fluid intake and output were recorded. Results:A total of 251 cases were actually enrolled in this study, with 125 cases in group A-HES, and 126 cases in group NS-HES.Compared with group NS-HES, no significant change was found in the maximum changing rate of MAP and HR and the maximum change in CVP ( P>0.05) in group A-HES, and non-inferiority analysis showed that group A-HES was not inferior to group NS-HES.Compared with group NS-HES, the concentrations of BE and HCO 3-, K + , Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ were significantly increased, the concentrations of Na + and Cl - were decreased, the PT was shortened, the incidence of abnormal PT was decreased at 15 min after the end of infusion ( P< 0.05), and no significant change was found in the other parameters mentioned above in group A-HES ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The volume expanding effect of A-HES and its effect on liver and kidney function are not significantly different from those of NS-HES, however, A-HES has certain advantages in maintaining acid-base balance, electrolyte stability and coagulation function.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of keratin genes in renal tissues during renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice.Methods Six wild type male C57/B6 mice,aged 50 days,weighing 20-30 g,were divided into 2 groups (n=3 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (Sham group) and I/R group.Right renal arteries and veins were clamped for 1 h followed by reperfusion,and the left kidneys were removed to establish the model of renal I/R injury.At 24 h of reperfusion,blood samples were collected from the left ventricle for determination of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen concentrations by colorimetric method.The right kidney specimens were obtained for pathologic examination and for determination of the expression of kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin mRNA (by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction [qRT-PCR]) and keratin genes (by Affemetrixc DNA microarray).The differentially expressed genes identified were further confirmed by qRT-PCR.Results Compared with Sham group,the serum creatinine and urea nitrogen concentrations were significantly increased,the expression of kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin mRNA was up-regulated (P<0.05),and the damage to the renal tubules was aggravated in I/R group.The results of microarray analysis showed that only keratin 20 gene (the expresion was up-regulated) was the differentially expressed gene (P<0.05),and the results measured by qRT-PCR were consistent with those measured by Affemetrixc DNA microarray.Conclusion Keratin 20 gene expression in renal tissues is up-regulated during renal I/R injury in mice,and the change may be involved in the endogenous protective mechanism during renal I/R injury.

Objective To evaluate ketamine-induced cerebral protection in mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods Thirty-two pathogen-free healthy male C57BL/6 mice,aged 8 weeks,weighing 26-30 g,were divided into 4 groups using a random number table:control group (group C,n=7),ketanine group (group K,n=7),TBI group (n=9) and TBI plus ketamine group (group TBI+K,n =9).TBI was produced with a pneumatically driven controlled cortical impact device.Ketamine 150 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at l h after operation in TBI+K and K groups,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in TBI and C groups.Open field test was conducted at 24 h,72 h and 7 days after operation.The animals in TBI and TBI+K groups were scanned by T1-weighted MRI at 6,24 and 72 h after operation,the animals in C and K groups were scanned by MRI at 24 h after operation,and the development of cerebral edema was observed.Results MRI scan showed no cerebral edema in C and K groups,and different degrees of cerebral edema were found in TBI and TBI+K groups.Compared with group C,the locomotor distance was significantly shortened at 24 and 72 h after operation in group TBI (P<0.05).Compared with group TBI,the size of cerebral edema was significantly decreased,and the locomotor distance was prolonged at 24 and 72 h after operation in group TBI+K (P<0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion MRI method further clarifies that ketamine can produce cerebral protection to some extent in mice with TBI.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effect of morphine on the proliferation and migration of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells in an in vitro experiment.Methods The experiment was performed in 2 parts.Experiment Ⅰ Human HCC cells were inoculated in 6-well plates at a density of 2×105 cells/well (2 ml/well) and divided into 6 groups (n=12 each) using a random number table:control group (C group) and 10,25,50,100 and 200 ng/ml morphine groups (M1-M5 groups).Morphine at the final concentration of 10,25,50,100 and 200 ng/ml was added in M1-M5 groups,respectively.The equal volume of phosphate buffer solution was added in group C.The cells were cultured or incubated for 48 h.The expression of μ1-opioid receptor (MOR1) mRNA was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The expression of MOR1 was detected by Western blot in C and M4 groups.Experiment Ⅱ Human HCC cells were inoculated in 96-well plates (1×103 cells/well) or in Transwell chambers(200 μl) and divided into 2 groups (n=9 each) using a random number table:control group (C group) and morphine group (M group).Morphine was added at the final concentration of 100 ng/ml in group M,and the equal volume of phosphate buffer solution (final volume 100 μl/well) was added in group C.The cells were cultured or incubated for 7 days.The cell proliferation was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay at 1-7 days of incubation or culture.The cell migration was determined by Transwell chamber assay at 30 h of incubation or culture.Results Experiment Ⅰ Compared with group C,the expression of MOR1 mRNA was significantly up-regulated in M1-M5 groups,and the expression of MOR1 was significantly up-regulated in group M4 (P<0.01).Compared with group M4,the expression of MOR1 mRNA was significantly down-regulated in M1-M3 and M5 groups (P<0.01).Experiment Ⅱ Compared with group C,the cell proliferation was significantly enhanced on 4th-7th days of incubation,and the number of cells passing through Transwell chambers was increased in group M (P<0.05 or 0.01).The cell proliferation was gradually enhanced on 4th-7th days of incubation in group M (P<0.05).Conclusion Morphine can promote the proliferation and migration of human HCC cells,and the mechanism is related to up-regulation of MOR1 expression in an in vitro experiment.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxycodone hydrochloride injection for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing the operation under general anesthesia in a prospective,randomized,blind,multicenter,positive-controlled,clinical trial.Methods Two hundred and forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,weighing 40-95 kg,scheduled for elective abdominal operation or orthopedic surgeries under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =120 each):morphine sulfate injection group (group M) and oxycodone hydrochloride injection group (group O).Morphine or oxycodone 1 mg was injected intravenously when the patients complained of pain after tracheal extubation or removal of the laryngeal mask,and administration was repeated if necessary until VAS≤40 mm.Then patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) (100 ml,0.5 mg/ml) with morphine or oxycodone was used for postoperative analgesia (lasting for 48 h).The PCIA pump was set up with a 1 ml bolus dose,a 5 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 0.5 mg/h.Pain at rest and during movement was assessed using VAS score at 3,24 and 48 h after administration,and non-inferiority test was performed.Total morphine or oxycodone consumption,requirement for rescue analgesic,the number of unsuccessfully delivered dose,the number of attempts,and the level of patient' s satisfaction were recorded within 48 h after operation.The adverse events were recorded and laboratory examinations (blood and urine routine test,blood biochemical examination) were performed within 72 h after administration.Results There was no significant difference in the VAS scores at rest and during movement at different time points,requirement for rescue analgesic,the number of unsuccessfully delivered doses and attempts,level of patient' s satisfaction,total morphine or oxycodone consumption,and adverse events between the two groups (P > 0.05).No serious adverse event occurred in the two groups.The most common adverse event was nausea,followed by vomiting.There was no significant difference in the incidences and degree of nausea and vomiting between the two groups (P > 0.05).The incidences of nausea and vomiting in patients underwent orthopedic surgeries were significantly lower in group O than in group M (P < 0.05).The other adverse events were fewer and abnormal laboratory examinations were rare in the two groups.95% confidence interval of the difference between the mean VAS scores at rest and during movement at each time point was within 15 mm (boundary values of non-inferiority testing) in the two groups.Conclusion PCIA with oxycodone hydrochloride injection is safe and effective in reducing pain after moderate or major operation,and the analgesic efficacy is similar to that of morphine sulfate injection,however,the development of nausea and vomiting is reduced when PCIA with oxycodone hydrochloride injection is used for orthopedic surgeries as compared with that when morphine sulfate injection is used and the ratio between the analgesic efficacy of the two drugs is close to 1∶1.

Objective To assess the efficacy of recoil of inflating syringe plunger in limiting laryngeal mask airway (LMA) cuff pressure.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 22-64 yr with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2 undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia with LMA were enrolled in this study.LMA Supreme (Laryngeal Mask Co.Singapore) size # 3 (for patients with body weight ≤50 kg) or # 4 (for patients with body weight > 50 kg) was placed after induction of anesthesia.Correct position of LMA was confirmed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.The LMA cuff was inflated to 60,80,100 and 120 cm H2O step by step using a 20 ml-syringe.The cuff pressure was measured with a monometer through a 3-way stopcock and maintained at each level for 10 seconds.The plunger was then allowed to recoil.The cuff pressure at the end of recoil (residual cuff pressure) was recorded.The patients were mechanically ventilated.The inspiratory pressure was limited to 30 cm H2 O.The airway pressure at which the air started to leak between LMA and larynx (leak pressure-Pleak) was recorded.Results The residual cuff pressure following the 4 inflating pressures was all < 60 cm H2 O.The Pleak was >20 cm H2O.There was no significant difference in residual cuff pressure and Pleak between size # 3 and # 4.Conclusion Recoil of inflating syringe plunger can limit LMA pressure to safe level.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the plasma volume expanding effect of hydroxyethyl starch (HES)130/0.4 and electrolyte solution (E-HES) and HES 130/0.4 and normal saline (NS-HES) in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia.Methods A multicenter,prospective,randomized,double-blind,controlled clinical trial was conducted.Two hundred and forty-two ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-64 yr with body mass index 18-29 kg/m2 undergoing noncardiac surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups: group E-HES and group NS-HES.E-HES and NS-HES 15 ml/kg was infused iv over 1 h immediately after induction of anesthesia in groups E-HES and NS-HES respectively.Arterial blood samples were taken before (baseline) and at 15 min after the end of HES infusion for blood gas analysis (pH value,BE,HCO3-,K+,Na+,Cl-,Mg2+ ) and measurement of Hb,Hct,blood chemistry (ALT,AST,Cr,BUN,Glu) and coagulation function.The electrolyte abnormality,requirement for vasopressor,treatment-related adverse effects (prolonged prothrombin time,activated partial thromboplastin time and hyperchloremia) and fluid balance were recorded.Results Of the 242 patients,122received E-HES and 120 received NS-HES.Ninety-one patients in group E-HES and 95 in group NS-HES completed the trial.The pH value,BE,HCO3 -,K+,and Mg2+ were significantly higher and Na+ and Cl- lower at 15 min after HES infusion was finished in group E-HES than in group NS-HES.BE,HCO3-,Na+,Mg2+,Hb and Hct were significantly decreased while Cl- was significantly increased in group NS-HES while Na+,Mg2+,Hb and Hct were significantly decreased and Cl- was increased in group E-HES at 15 min after HES infusion as compared with the baseline values before infusion.The incidence of clinical significant abnormality in plasma K+ and Cl- was significantly lower in group E-HES than in group NS-HES.There were no significant differences in Hb,Hct,urine output,amount of HES infused,vasopressor requirement,the incidence of clinically significant abnormality in blood chemistry and treatment-related adverse effects between the 2 groups.Conclusion E-HES and NS-HES have the same plasma volume expanding effect,but E-HES maintains better electrolyte and acid-base balance than NS-HES.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the phaimacodynamics and circulatory function of domestic and imported rocuronium. Methods This is a five center study of rocuronium. Two hundred and ten ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-65 yr undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 105 each): domestic rocuronium group (group Ⅰ ) and imported rocuronium group (group Ⅱ ) . Anesthesia was induced and maintained with TCI of propofol (target plasma concentration = 3 mg/L) and remifentanil (target effect-site concentration = 2-4 μg/L) . Tracheal intubation was facilitated with intravenous rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg. The N-M function was assessed by accelerography (TOF-Watch(R) SX, Organon, Netherlands) using TOF stimulation of ulnar nerve. Onset time, clinical duration, 75% recovery time,recovery indexes, the extent of maximal NM blockade and intubation conditions (ease of laryngoscopy, position of vocal cords and airway reaction) were monitored and recorded. BP and HR were also recorded. Results There were no significant differences in the onset time, clinical duration, recovery indexes, the extent of maximal N-M blockade, the intubation conditions, BP, HR and adverse reactions between groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ ( P > 0.05) . The 75% recovery time was significantly longer in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ (P < 0.05=. Conclusion The pharmacodynamics of domestic and imported rocuronium is comparable. The two drugs have no adverse effect on the circulatory function.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the effect of intraoperative glucose and insulin infusion on the metabolism in patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery under combined general anesthesia with epidural block. Methods Twenty ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ adult patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery were studied. Ten patients received an iv glucose infusion at 0.5 g·kg~(-1)·h~(-1) and insulin infusion (1-1.5 IU ∶ 1 g glucose) throughout the anesthesia. Ten control subjects received isovolumic nutrient-free saline solution. Rectal temperature, plasma glucose concentrations, plasma free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations, plasma potassium concentrations and 24 hour urea nitrogen were measured perioperatively. Results No statistical difference was observed in rectal temperature and 24 hour urea nitrogen between the two groups. The plasma glucose concentrations continued to increase perioperatively in the control group. The glucose concentration increased during the operation in the glucose/insulin group, but the glucose concentrations at 1 and 2 hours after the operation were not statistically different from that before operation. Significant difference in plasma FFA concentration was found perioperatively (30, 90, 120, 150 min during the operation compared with 1 h after operation) between the two groups. In the glucose/insulin group, there was a significant decrease in the concentration of plasma potassium at 1 and 2 h during and after the operation. Conclusions Intraoperative glucose and insulin infusion cannot prevent hypothermia in patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery under combined general anesthesia with epidural block, however, it may reduce lipoclasis.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the time course of distribution and elimination of gelatin and lactated Ringer's solution (LR) by volume kinetics and mass balance analysis during hemorrhagic shock in dogs, and try to design and optimize fluid therapy in a more scientific manner. Methods Twenty dogs were randomly divided into 4 groups: CL group, CG group, BL group, and BG group. Each animal was subjected to two randomly ordered experiments that separated for at least 1 week. In the first phase, plasma volume expansion was studied in the state of anesthesia, animals received 30 mL/kg of LR (CL group) or 10 mL/kg of gelatin (CG group) over 30 min. In the second phase, plasma volume expansion was studied in the state of hemorrhagic shock, animals received 30 mL/kg of LR (BL group) or 10 mL/kg of gelatin (BG group) over 30 min. Hb concentration and Hct were measured every 5 min during and after infusion for 90 min. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded at the same time. The distribution and elimination of infused fluid were studied by volume kinetics, based on serial analysis of hemoglobin dilution in arterial blood, and by mass balance that incorporated volume calculations derived from volume kinetic analysis and measurements of urinary volumes. Results When a one-volume kinetic model was fitted to the data, the value of V and Kr in CG, BL, and BG group were significantly smaller than those in CL group (P<0.05), which could be found from the computer-generated curves.When a two-volume kinetic model was fitted to the data, the value of V1, Kr, Kt in BL group were significantly smaller than those in CL group (P<0.05). The calculations based on mass balance corresponded to the predicted based on volume kinetics. The change of central volume (CCV) in BL, BG, and CG group was significantly greater than those in CL group (P<0.05). The VEE in BG and CG group was significantly higher than that in BL and CL group. The value of VEE in BL group was significantly higher than that in CL group (P<0.05). Conclusions Both of the efficacy of lactated Ringer's solution and gelatin increased significantly in the state of hemorrhagic shock, and the former increased more.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of intraoperative amino acid infusion on perioperative glucose metabolism. Methods Thirty-six adult mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 12-16 kg undergoing partially small intestine resection under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to one of 4 groups (n=9 each): Ⅰ control group received normal saline (C);Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ amino acid group (A1, A2, A3) received iv infusion of 2.85%, 5.70% and 11.4% 18-amino acid respectively at 12 ml·kg-1·h-1 during operation starting from skin incision until the end of operation. The animals were premedicated with ketamine and diazepam. Anesthesia was induced with propofol 5-10 mg/kg, fentanyl 2 μg/kg and vecuronium 0.2 mg/kg and maintained with 1%-3% isoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. The animals were intubated and mechanically ventilated. PET CO2 was maintained at 30-40 mm Hg. ECG, MAP, HR, PET CO2 and esophageal T0 were continuously monitored. Venous blood samples were collected before anesthesia (T1), 15 min after induction of anesthesia (T2), 15, 30 min and 1 h after skin incision (T3-5), when abdomen was closed (T6) and 1,2,4,8 and 24 h after operation (T7-11) for determination of plasma glucose, lactate, insulin and glucagon. Liver biopsy was performed at T6-11 and muscle biopsy at T2,6,11 for measurement of hepatic and muscle glucagon. Homa index was used to estimate the degree of insulin resistance. Results The plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were significantly increased at T3-11 as compared with the baseline at T1 in all 4 groups (P<0.05). The plasma insulin concentrations were significantly higher in group A1 (at T6), group A2 (at T3,6) and group A3 (at T3-11) than in group C (P<0.05). Homa index was significantly higher in group A3(at T3-8) than in group C. Conclusion Intraoperative amino acid infusion increases plasma insulin concentration but does not prevent glycogenolysis especially high dose amino acid infusion.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the changes of cognitive function after major non-cardiac surgery and the relationship between the postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD)and the intraoperative cerebral oxygen metabolism in the elderly.Methods Sixty-four patients(49 male,12 female)aged 65-85 yr undergoing elective major non-cardiac surgery were enrolled in this study.A battery of four neuropsycbological tests was administered 2-3 days before and 7 days after surgery by an experienced psychometrician.A postoperative deficit in any test was defined as a cognitive decline by more than or equal to the preoperative standard deviation of that test in all patients.As long aft any patient showed cognitive decline in two or more tests.this situation was defined as POCD.Blood samples were taken from radial artery and internal jugIIlar vein simultaneously for blood gas analysis immediately (T1) and 2 h (T2) after induction of anesthesia,and just before leaving postanesthesia care unit (T3).The ratio of cerebral blood flow to cerebral oxygen metabolic rate(CBF.CMR02)was calculated.Results Sixty-one patients completed postoperative neuropsychological tests and 10 cases(16.4%)had POCD.Logistic regression analysis showed that the abnormality of CBF/CMR02 during operation was associated with the occurrence of POCD.Conclusion The occurrence of POCD after major non-cardiac surgery is related to the abnormality of cerebral oxygen metabolism during operation.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the protective effect of desflurane preconditioning on human umbilical vein endothelial cells against anoxia-reoxygenation(A/R)injury.Methods The human umbilical vein endothelial cell line(ECV304)was provided by the Liver Cancer Institute,Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University.ECV304 cells were randomly divided into 5 groups:group Ⅰ normal control;group Ⅱ A/R;group Ⅲ A/R+rhTNF-α;group Ⅳ Des + A/R and group Ⅴ Des + A/R + rhTNF-α.In group Ⅱ-Ⅴ the cells were exposed to 95% N2 + 5% CO2 in an incubator for 30 min followed by 60 min reoxygenation.In group Ⅲ and Ⅴ rhTNF-α(10 ng/ml)10 μl was added to the cells as soon as reoxygenation was started,while in group Ⅳ and Ⅴ the cells were pretreated with 7.2% desflurane for 30 min followed by 10 min washout before A/R.Apoptosis in endothelial cells was detected by fluorescence flow cytometry and TUNEL.Endothelial cells were examined with electron microscope for apoptosis and necrosis.Results The rates of apoptosis in the endothelial cells were significantly higher in A/R group and A/R + rhTNF-α group than in control group.Desflurane preconditioning significantly attenuated apoptosis in the endothelial cells induced by A/R and A/R + rhTNF-α respectively.Electron microscopy showed that there were significantly more necrotic cells in A/R group and A/R + rhTNF-α group.However in the two desflurane preconditioning groups(Ⅳ and Ⅴ)the cells were in a state of duplication and self-repairing.Conclusion Preconditioning with 30 min 7.2% desflurane can attenuate the A/R-induced injury to human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

RESUMEN
Lower expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin may be responsible for attenuated ischemic-reperfusion neutrophil adhesion to vascular endothelium. Desflurane reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury. Therefore, we assessed whether desflurane affects the protein expression of ICAM-1 and E-selectin and mRNA expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 of human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVEC) stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). HUVEC were preconditioned for 60 min with 1 minimum alveolar concentration desflurane before stimulating with TNF-alpha. Protein expression of adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and E-selectin of HUVEC were evaluated via immunocytochemical techniques combined with image cytometry. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNA expression of HUVEC were determined via reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Desflurane not only reduced the protein expression of ICAM-1 and E-selectin but also ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNA expression of the HUVEC. The adhesion rate of neutrophils with desflurane-treated HUVEC was slower. The decreased neutrophil adhesion on the desflurane-treated HUVEC correlated well with the decrease in adhesion molecule expression. These results show that desflurane affects the expression of adhesion molecules involved in the multistep process of neutrophil recruitment. Desflurane related ischemia-reperfusion injury reduction correlates well with expression inhibition of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin that mediates neutrophil rotation and firm adhesion on the vascular endothelium.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on blocking the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by acid aspiration. MethodsTwenty new Zealand rabbits were used. Dilute HCl was instilled into right bronchus of the rabbits. The rabbits were then divided randomly into two groups: injury group and treatment group. In injury group ( n = 10) rabbits received no treatment except mechanical ventilation. In treatment group ( n = 10) immediately after acid instillation the rabbits received an intravenous bolus of PGE1 followed by a continuous infusion. Blood gas, airway pressure and dynamic and static compliance were measured before and after acid instillation. Blood samples were taken from artery for determination of 6-k-PGF1α, TXB2, NO2-/NO3- and ET-1. The animals were killed and the wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio and total protein of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) of right lung were measured. Microscopic examination of the lung was done. ResultsIn treatment group PaO2 was significantly higher than that in injury group after acid instillation. Plasma 6-k-PGF1α and NO2-/NO3- levels were significantly higher in treatment group while plasma TXB2 and ET-1 levels were significantly lower. W/D ratio and TP of BALF of right lung were significantly lower in treatment group. The inflammatory changes were diffuse in injury group while in treatment group they were localized and less severe. Conclusions PGE1 can lessen severity of ARDS induced by acid aspiration. It may protect pulmonary vascular endothelial cells through maintaining the balance between PGI2 and TXA2 and that between NO and ET-1 .

Expressions of IL-8 and IL-1? were measured by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction using ?-actin as an internal standard. Results Gene expression of IL-8 and IL-1? in alveolar macrophages increased significantly at 4h after induction of anesthesia. The increase was greater in group Ⅰ than in group Ⅱ( P
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the effectiveness of patient-controlled propofol sedation (PCS) against propofol sedation with TCI during epidural anesthesia. Methods Thirty-two ASA Ⅰ -Ⅱ patients (18 male , 14 female) aged between 23-71 years, undergoing lower abdominal surgery or surgery on lower limb were randomly divided into two groups: PCS group ( n =16) and TCI group ( n = 16). Propofol sedation was started when epidural anesthesia was shown to be satisfactory. In PCS group a loading dose of propofol 0.5?g?kg-1 was given. The bolus dose was 0.3mg?kg-1 and the lock-out interval 2 min. There was no background infusion of propofol. In TCI group the initial target concentration of propofol was set at 1. 5?g?kg-1 target concentration was adjusted according to OAA/S score which was maintained at 3 during operation. Radial artery was cannulated and arterial blood samples were taken for determination of blood propofol concentration before and 5, 15, 30, 45 min after incision. OAA/S score was evaluated every 5 min and at the same time BIS and 95% SEF were recorded. The total amount of propofol infused during operation was recorded and whether the patient was satisfied with sedation was inquired. Results All patients expressed great satisfaction with the sedation in both groups. In PCS group the level of sedation was lighter and less propofol was consumed than in the TCI group.
