ABSTRACT
Coagulometer, known as blood coagulation analyzer, is a product that can provide accurate test results for medical diagnosis and treatment analysis by detecting a series of items closely related to thrombosis and hemostasis in coagulation reaction. On the basis of previous traditional methods, and with our deep understanding about the principles of hemagglutination detection, we propose a hemagglutination detection method by using the dual-magnetic circuit beads method. Then, the corresponding hemagglutination detection module is designed. The coagulation time of plasma can be measured by detecting the movement of the magnetic beads when the magnetic field intensity is appropriate. The activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) of plasma is tested when the most suitable magnetic field intensity is found. The results preliminarily show that this blood coagulation test method is valid and the corresponding test module has a potential value in business.

Objective To study the effects of propofol used alone and in combined with opioids in gastroscopy,in order to select the more suitable anesthesia protocol.Methods A total of 285 pa-tients undergoing gastroscopy were selected in April ,201 5 in our hospital,including 105 males,180 females,ranging from 18 to 65 years old,weighing 40-90 kg,falling the category of ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ. According to random number table,subjects were divided into four groups:dezocine group(group D, n =76),fentanyl group (group F,n =87),oxycodone group (group O,n = 71 )and control group (group C,n =5 1).Each group was implemented the corresponding anesthesia.SBP,DBP,HR,SpO 2 in baseline(T0 ),1(T1 ),3(T2 ),5(T3 )min after entering gastroscope were recorded.Choking cough, body movement,extra propofol,awakening time and inspecting time were observed.Results Among four groups,there was no statistical significance in age,gender,weight,blood pressure,heart rate and oxygen saturation and other general information.There were more cases given extra propofol in group C than in the other three groups (P <0.01 ).While for the experimental groups,there were more cases needing extra propofol in group O than in group D and group F (P < 0.01 ).The incidences of body movement and choking cough in group C were higher than those in the other three groups (P <0.01 ).Compared with the group C,dosage of propofol ,awakening time in the three groups,especially in group D,were much lower (P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Propofol in combination with opioids for sedation during painless gastroscopy can alleviate adverse reaction caused by propofol used alone.The more suitable anesthesia protocol is propofol with dezocine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of ephedrine and phenylephrine on hemodynamics in the patients undergoing surgery in prone position under general anesthesia.Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-60 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-2:5.0 kg/m2, scheduled for elective posterior lumbar interbody fusion under general anesthesia, were randomized to ephedrine group (group E, n =30) or phenylephrine group (group P, n =30).When hypotension [decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) ＞20％ of the baseline value, T0] occurred in supine position, SBP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI) and central venous pressure (CVP) were recorded, and ephedrine 0.1 mg/kg (group E) or phenylephrine 1 μg/kg (group P) was injected via the central veins.The parameters mentioned above were recorded within 10 min after administration (T1-T10).Results Both ephedrine and phenylephrine could maintain the parameters of hemodynamics at the normal level.Compared with the baseline values at T0 , SBP, DBP, MAP and HR at T1-T10 and CO and CI at T2-T10 were significantly increased, and no significant change was found in CVP at each time point after administration in group E, and SBP and MAP at T1-T6, DBP at T1-T5, CVP at T2 and T3, and CO and CI at T1-T3 were significantly increased, and HR was decreased at T2 and T3 in group P.Compared with group P, SBP was significantly decreased at T1, and increased at T2-T10, DBP and MAP were decreased at T1, and increased at T3-T10, HR was increased at T1-T10, CO and CI were increased at T2-T10, and CVP was decreased at T1-T3 in group E.Conclusion Compared with phenylephrine, although ephedrine provides no significant effect on hemodynamics clinically, it can increase cardiac output to some extent in the patients undergoing surgery in prone position under general anesthesia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of fluid restriction in combination with small dose of norepinephrine on cerebral oxygen metabolism in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.Methods Forty elderly patients of both sexes,aged 65-80 yr,with body mass index of 18-24 kg/m2,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ (NYHA Ⅰ or Ⅱ),with left ventricular ejection fraction≥50％,undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:routine fluid administration group (group S) and restricted fluid administration + small dose of norepinephrine group (group RN).In group S,lactated Ringer's solution was given routinely,ephedrine 5 mg (per time) was injected intravenously,and MAP was maintained ≥ 65 mmHg during operation.In group RN,lactated Ringer's solution was infused intravenously at 5 ml · kg-1 · h-1 starting from 30 min before anesthesia,norepinephrine was infused intravenously at 0.01-0.03 μg · kg-1 · min-1 after induction of anesthesia,and MAP was maintained ≥ 65 mmHg.Intraoperative blood loss was replaced with the equal volume of 6％ hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 sodium chloride injection in both groups.At 5 min before skin incision,1 and 2 h after skin incision and postanesthesia care unit discharge time,arterial and jugular bulb venous blood samples were obtained for blood gas analysis,and arterial oxygen content,jugular bulb venous oxygen content,arteriovenous oxygen content difference,cerebral oxygen extraction rate,and the ratio of cerebral blood flow to cerebral oxygen metabolic rate were calculated.Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in arterial oxygen content,jugular bulb venous oxygen content,arteriovenous oxygen content difference,cerebral oxygen extraction rate,and the ratio of cerebral blood flow to cerebral oxygen metabolic rate.Conclusion Fluid restriction combined with small dose of norepinephrine produces no effects on cerebral oxygen metabolism in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the role of heparanase in endotoxemia-induced destruction of vascular endothelial glycocalyx in rats.Methods Forty-eight pathogen-free male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 200-250 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=16 each) using a random number table: control group (group C), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (group L) and LPS+ heparin group (group LH).Endotoxemia was induced by intravenous LPS 15 mg/kg in L and LH groups, and heparin sodium 100 U · kg-1 · h-1 was infused simultaneously in group LH.At 3 and 6 h after LPS injection, blood samples were collected from the femoral vein for determination of the serum concentrations of serum heparin sulfate (HS), syndecan-1, E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed, and lungs were removed for microscopic examination and for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio).Results Compared with group C, the serum HS, syndecan-1, E-selectin and ICAM-1 concentrations and W/D ratio were significantly increased in group L, and the serum HS and ICAM-1 concentrations were increased in group LH (P＜0.05).Compared with group L, the serum HS, syndecan-1, E-selectin and ICAM-1 concentrations and W/D ratio were significantly decreased in group LH (P＜0.05).The pathological changes of lungs were obvious in group L, and were significantly mitigated in group LH.Conclusion Heparanase is involved in endotoxemiainduced destruction of vascular endothelial glycocalyx in rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the pressor responses to ephedrine during general anesthesia with different drugs.Methods Sixty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,scheduled for elective gastrointestinal tumor resection under general anesthesia,aged 20-64 yr,weighing 45-90 kg,were included in this study.The patients were randomized to receive dexmedetomidine + remifentanil + sevoflurane (group Ⅰ,n =20),propofol + remifentanil + sevoflurane (group Ⅱ,n =20),or dexmedetomidine + propofol + remifentanil + sevoflurane (group Ⅲ,n =20) to maintain the depth of anesthesia.Ephedrine 0.1 mg/kg was injected intravenously when the systolic blood pressure (SBP) was decreased to about 90 mm Hg during anesthesia.Blood pressure was monitored and recorded at 1-min intervals for 10 min after the injection.The onset time (TSBP,TDBP,TMAP) for ephedrine to raise the SBP,diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the maximal amplitude (△SBP,△DBP,△MAP) were also recorded.Results Compared with Ⅱ group,TSBP,TDBP and TMAP were significantly shortened,and △SBP,△DBP and △MAP were increased in Ⅰ and Ⅲ groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with propofol + remifentanil + sevoflurane combined anesthesia,dexmedetomidine + remifentanil + sevoflurane combined anesthesia and dexmedetomidine + propofol + remifentanil + sevoflurane combined anesthesia augment the pressor responses to ephedrine in patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of curcumin an extract of a Chinese medical herb on the sensitivity of CD133 + rectal cancer cells to radiotherapy.Methods In vitro experiments:CD133 +cells were purified with immunomagnetic beads from HRT-18 cell line and divided into curcumin group,radiotherapy group and curcumin plus radiotherapy group.MTT assay and Annexin V/PI staining were used to measure the proliferation and apoptosis of the cells.In vivo experiments:Transplanted rectal tumor was established in 46 nude mice and randomly divided into curcumin group,radiotherapy group and curcumin plus radiotherapy group.Tumor size and apoptosis were detected by daily observation and TUNEL staining respectively.Results Curcumin inhibited proliferation and apoptosis of CD133 + rectal cancer cells when combined with radiotherapy.It also significantly increased the growth inhibition of rectal tumor and promoted the apoptosis of rectal cancer in vivo.MTT assay showed that after 24 hours,compared with that of radiotherapy group(14.6％ ± 1.0％),curcumin plus radiotherapy group (18.7％ ± 1.7％) inhibited the growth of the tumor(P ＜ 0.01).Annexin V/PI showed that curcumin plus radiotherapy group (28.8％ ±3.7％) was significantly different from the radiotherapy group(13.1％ ± 1.4％) in cell apoptosis (P ＜0.01).In vivo,after 6 days,tumor volume (521 ± 79) mm3 in curcumin plus radiotherapy group was significantly lower than that of radiotherapy group(717 ± 134) mm3 (P ＜ 0.01) ; TUNEL staining results indicated that the RCST in curcumin plus radiotherapy group (26.1％ ± 3.3％) were higher than that in radiotherapy group (12.0％ ± 2.1％) (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Curcumin significantly enhances the radiosensitizing effect for CD133 + rectal cancer cells.
