Objective:To compare the analgesic effect and postoperative recovery between multi-point and single-point ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block (FCIB) in elderly patients with hip fracture.Methods:From June 2019 to April 2020, 96 patients aged (71.1±5.4) years undergoing elective surgery for hip fracture in Renji Hospital were randomly assigned in multi-point block group or single-point block group, and the multi-point or single-point ultrasound-guided FCIB was performed for the two groups, respectively. The primary outcomes were the success rate for block of femoral nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and obturator nerve, and the 24 hours postoperative pain visual analog scale (VAS) score at rest and passive movement. The secondary outcomes were the onset time of sensory blocks of the above three nerves, complications of FICB, the satisfaction score of pain control during 48 hours after surgery and postoperative recovery of patients.Results:The success rate for block of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in multi-point block group was 97.9% (47/48), which was significantly higher than that in single-point block group (83.3%(40/48)) ( P=0.031). The success rate for block of obturator nerve in multi-point block group was 95.8% (46/48), which was significantly higher than that in single-point block group which was 81.3% (39/48) ( P=0.025). The success rate of femoral nerve block in both groups was 97.9% (47/48) ( P=1.000). The 24 hours postoperative VAS scores at rest and passive movement in the multi-point block group were significantly lower than those in the single-point block group ( P<0.05). The onset time for block of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and obturator nerve in multi-point block group was shorter than that in single-point block group ( P=0.025 and P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the onset time for block of femoral nerve between the two groups ( P=0.343). The satisfaction score of patients at 48 hours after surgery in multipoint block group was higher than that in single point block group ( P=0.024). The length of hospital stay in the multi-point block group was shorter than that in the single-point block group ( P=0.042), the proportion of intravenous analgesic drugs used after surgery was lower than that in the single-point block group ( P=0.041), and the complication rate within 30 days after surgery was also lower than that in the single point block group ( P=0.026). Conclusion:Compared with single-point block, ultrasound-guided multi-point block in iliac fascia space has advantages of increasing analgesic efficacy and promoting postoperative recovery in elderly patients with hip fracture.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of inhalation of sevoflurane during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on early postoperative brain injury in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement.Methods:Forty-two American Society of Anesthesiaologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of either sex, aged 40-70 yr, weighing 47-86 kg, scheduled for elective single valve replacement under CPB, were divided into 3 groups ( n=14 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia group (group CA) and sevoflurane group (group S). During CPB, propofol 4-6 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused in group C, propofol 2-3 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused, and 0.5 MAC sevoflurane was inhaled via the membrane oxygenator in group CA, and 1.0-1.5 MAC sevoflurane was inhaled via the membrane oxygenator in group S. The anesthesia and sedation index values were maintained at 40-60 during operation in the three groups.Blood samples were taken from arteries before anesthesia induction (T 1), at 30 min and 6 and 24 h after termination of CPB (T 2-4) for determination of plasma concentrations of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and Tau protein. Results:Compared with group C, the plasma concentration of NSE was significantly decreased at T 2, 3, and plasma concentration of Tau protein was decreased at T 2-4 in group S, and the plasma concentration of Tau protein was decreased at T 2 in group CA ( P<0.05). Compared with group CA, the plasma concentration of NSE was significantly decreased at T 2, 3, and the plasma concentration of Tau protein was decreased at T 2-4 in group S ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Inhalation of sevoflurane during CPB can reduce early postoperative brain injury to a certain extent in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement.

Objective To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of several volume parameters regarding volume responsiveness.The studied volume parameters include pulmonary artery obstruc-tion pressure (PAOP),central venous pressure (CVP),right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RV-EDV)measured by Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter and left ventricular end-diastolic area (LVEDA),inferior vena cava diameter (IVC)measured by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods Twelve patients with ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting were studied.After anesthesia induction,the TEE probe was put into the esophagus and Swan-Ganz cathe-ter was placed in right internal jugular venous.Measurements were made at the time before cutting the skin (T0 ),20 min after divorcing from cardiopulmonary bypass or finishing vascular anastomosis in off-pump surgery(T1 ),10 min after rapid infusion (T2 )and 30 min after rapid infusion (T3 ),re-spectively.Results The values of PAOP,IVC,LVEDA,COLVOT at time T2 increased significantly compared to those at time T1 (P <0.01).No obvious correlation (r=-0.298 5、r=-0.091 8、r=-0.243 6)was observed between △CVP、△PAOP、△RVEDV and △COLVOT (the difference between T2 and T1 );Meanwhile,△IVC and △LVEDA were well correlated to △COLVOT (r= 0.445 0、r=0.612 0).Using more than 1 5% change of COLVOT after volume expansion as definition of positive re-sponse,the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of CVP,PAOP,RVEDV,IVC and LVEDA were 0.389 (95% CI 0.035-0.743 ),0.458 (95% CI 0.109-0.807 ),0.333 (95% CI 0-0.671 ), 0.903 (95% CI 0.701-1.000 ) and 0.889 (95% CI 0.661-1.000 ), respectively. Conclusion PAOP,IVC,LVEDA,CO are more sensitive to the change of volume;while CVP and RVEDV have weak responses to volume changes.This indicates that IVC and RVEDA have more ad-vantage to estimate cardiac output increase and guide volume therapy.

We have developed a mini acupuncture manipulator, which can simulate the traditional needling therapy and can inquired about the acu-related physical parameters which could not be quantitatively studied in the past. For example, we can control the depth, velocity, angle, angular velocity, frequency and interval time of acupuncture. The experimental study on Sprague-Dawley rat's acute hemorrhagic shock model was conducted to compare the curative effect of acupuncture manipulator versus that of electroacupuncture. This experiment demonstrated that the acupuncture manipulator can imitate hand acupuncture in security and can produce the effect similar to that of electroacupuncture. So this mini acupuncture manipulator can be of applications in research, teaching and clinical treatment.

Objective To observe the protective effects of hypoxic preconditioning(HPC) on the improvement of the cognitive dysfunction(learning and memory) and the damage in hippocampus induced by global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) in CA1 and CA3 for 5 days in rats,and on the regulation of expression of erythropoietin(EPO) protein to approach the mechanism of the protection.Methods One hundred and twenty adult male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were divided into four groups randomly: sham group,I/R group,HPC24 group(hypoxia for 24 hours before I/R) and HPC48 group(hypoxia for 48 hours before I/R).Hang(motor function),passive avoidance and Morris water maze tests were carried out on the 5th day after I/R to measure the motor and cognition functions;hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to detected histopathological changes in hippocampus tissues;and the contents of EPO were tested by immunohistochemistry at 1 hour and 4 hours after I/R from hippocampus CA1 and CA3 regions.Results Hang,passive avoidance and Morris water maze tests showed that I/R can injure rat cognition;the improvement of cognition was marked in HPC groups, and it was shown that the effects were more significant in HPC48 group than those in the HPC24 group(P

BACKGROUND: Both electroacupuncture and salviae act on prevention and treatment ofis chemia-reperfusion injury, but, whether such action is achieved or not by coordination of both? OBJECTIVE: To probe into the effects of electroacupuncture and salviae on expression of myocardial cellular heat-shock protein 70mRNA that acts on protecting myocardium and on dopamine level that is the mark for myocardial injury after ischemia-repeifusion as well as the interaction between electroacupuncture and salviae. DESIGN: Factorial design of two factors. SETTLNG: Department of Anesthesia of Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Second Medical Scientific University. PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was performed in Animal Experimental Room of Renji Hospital from September 2001 to December 2002, in which 24 healthy New Zealand white rabbits were employed and randomized into 4 groups, 6 rabbits in each, named ① ischemia-reperfusion group (IR group), ② electroacupuncture group (EA group), ③ salviae group (SA group), ④ electroacupuncture + salviae group (ES group). METHODS: ① IR group: ischemia-reperfusion model was prepared by clipped the anterior descend branch of cardiac coronal artery for 30 minutes and released for 2 hours. ② EA group: modeling was done as the previous method. Twenty minutes before ischemia, electroacupuncture was done on Neiguan (PC 6), Yunmen (LU 2) and Lieque (LU 7), 0.8 V in voltage, 3.0-4.0 Hz in frequency. ③ SA group: modeling was done as the previous method. Before ischemia, salviae was injected intravenously once at 1.5 mg/kg, and was injected before and after reperfusion once respectively at 1.0 mg/kg. ④ ES group: modeling was done as the previous method. Both electroacupuncture and medication were applied in the group. The content of dopamine was determined in blood before ischemia,30 minutes after ischemia and 2 hours after reperfusion successively in rabbits of every group. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to determine myocardial heat-shock protein 70mRNA expression in ischemic and non-ischemic areas. RESULTS: After supplemented, 24 rabbits entered result analysis. ① Expression of myocardial heat-shock protein 70mRNA: that after ischemia and reperfusion was increased significantly compared that before ischemia in every group (P < 0.01). That in the rest 3 groups was all higher than IR group,and that in ES group was higher than EA and SA groups (F=4.48, P <0.05). CONCLUSION: ① Both electroacupuncture and salivae stimulate expression of heat-shock protein 70 mRNA after ischemia and reperfusion, enhance protein stability of heat-shock protein 70 and alleviate myocardial damage. ② Both electroacupuncture and salivae inhibit increased dopamine content in the body after ischemia and reperfusion, reduce dopamine mediated injury and protect myocardium. ③ Coordination is present between electroacupuncture and salivae.
