Investigation of the sedative effect of dexmedetomidine compound midazolam under different formula / 实用医学杂志

Objective To investigate the sedative effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine with mid-azolam in spinal anesthesia. Methods 130 cases of spinal anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups,group D1 and group D2,with 65 cases in each group. Patients in 2 groups were given midazolam and dexmedetomidine with different doses. The heart rates ,blood pressure ,SpO2 ,Narcotrend value and Ramsay sedation scores were recorded at mutiple time points. The working time ,maintaining time of sedative effect ,and adverse reactions were compared between 2 groups. Results MAP,HR and NT decreased significantly in 2 groups(P < 0.05,respec-tively). The keeping time was relatively longer in group D1 compared with group D2(P<0.05). The working time was faster in group D2 compared with group D1. The rate of bradycardia in group D2 was relatively higher than that in group D1. Conclusion Good sedative effect can be obtained by drug in 2 groups. Group D1,with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg+dexmedetomidine 0.3μg/kg,may have a certain advantage in anaesthesia in the spinal canal.

Effects of age factors on sedation induced by dexmedetomidine / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To evaluate the effects of age factors on sedation induced by dexmedetomidine.Methods One hundred and thirty-nine patients,aged 18-103 yr,with body mass index ≤ 30 kg/m2,scheduled for elective surgeries on lower abdomen or lower extremities,were divided into4 groups according to the age:group Ⅰ (18 yr≤age≤44 yr,n=40);group Ⅱ (45 yr≤age≤59 yr,n=38);group Ⅲ (60 yr≤age≤89 yr,n=39);group Ⅳ (≥90 yr,n=22).A catheter was placed in the subarachnoid space at L3,4 interspace,and ropivacaine 10-20 mg was injected via the catheter.At 20 min after ropivacaine injection,dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg was infused via a pump over 10 min.The onset time and duration of sedation were recorded,and the occurrence of adverse effects such as hypoxemia,bradycardia and hypotension was observed.Results There was no significant difference in the onset time of sedation and incidence of bradycardia among the 4 groups (P＞0.05).Compared with group Ⅰ,the duration of sedation was significantly prolonged in Ⅱ-Ⅳ groups (P＜0.05).Compared with Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups,the duration of sedation was significantly prolonged in group Ⅳ (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of hypoxemia and hypotension was significantly higher in group Ⅳ than in Ⅰ-Ⅲ groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine-induced sedation is influenced by age factors,the duration of sedation induced by dexmedetomidine is prolonged,and the occurrence of adverse effects is increased,especially if the patients ≥ 90 yr of age.

Effects of isoflurane-nitrous oxide on hemodynamic in patients with different cardiac function undergoing open heart surgery / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective: To evaluate the effects of isoflurane-nitrous oxide on hemodynamics in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement. Method:Hemodynamics values were measured with Swan-Ganz technique. Thirty-nine patients were divided into two groups according to their cardiac function before surgery. The patients with cardiac function Ⅱ degree were belong to group Ⅰ and those with cardiac function Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree to group Ⅱ. Result:CI,LVWI, RVWI,HR and MAP decreased significantly in both groups after induction of anesthesia without change in SI. During tracheal intubation and sternotomy,CI and LVWI decreased,PTRI and SVRI increased,particularly in group Ⅱ. During aorta and vena cava intubation the changes of hemodynamics were relatively complicated with CI and SI improved in group Ⅱ and further decreased in group Ⅰ. After CPB,MPAP,PAWP,PTRI and SVRI were decreasad in different degree in both groups with significant increased in CI and SI in group Ⅱ. Conclusion:Induction and maintenance anes thesia with 1.0%-1.5% isoflurane and 40%-50% N_2O are suitable in patients with impaired cardiac function.

The changes of plasma ET, ANP concentrations and hemodynamics during normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass / 中华麻醉学杂志

The effects of normothermic or hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)on hemodynamics, plasma levels of endothelin(ET)and atrial natriuetic peptide(ANP)were comparatively studied in dogs with Swan-Ganz catheter technique and radioimmunoassay. The results showed the total peripheral resistance(TPR)during hypothermic CPB was significantly higher than that of the normothermic. Plasm ET levels increased significantly during hypothermic CPB but remained stable during normothermic CPB. Plasma ANP levels almost unchanged during either CPB. Plasma ET level was positively correlated to TPR but ANT level was not. The results suggest that the increased ET levels may be one of the causes of higher TPR during hypothermic CPB;the stable ET levels contributes to the maintenance of cardiovascular function during and after normothermic CPB and the ANP amount secreted beyond the heart has little effect on the plasma level and hemodynamics during CPB.

Hemodynamic changese during the procedure or double cardiac valve replacement / 中华麻醉学杂志

The hemodynamics of 49 scheduled patients during anesthesia and opration for mitral and aortic valve replacement were studied with the insertion of SwanGanz catheter and by the method of thermodilution technics.Pre-anesthesia CI and LVWI were in the nor mal range with abnormal MPAP, PCWP, PTRI and RVWI.Increase of RAP and decrease in MPA,PCWP, MAP, CI, LVWI and RVWI were observed during induction of anesthesia. The hemodynamic parameters returned to or exceded the pre-anesthesia values after trachcal intubation and sternotomy. The CI, MAP, MPAP, PCWP, LVWI and RVWI decreased signifi- cantly after insertion of aorta and vena cava catheter. The reduction of MPAP, P(IWP,PTRI and RVWI post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were significant and persistent with no change of PVRI.The lower MAP,SVRI and deterioration of cardiac performance post-CPB indicate that the administeration of positive inotropir agents and restoration of hematocrit are nec essary as early as possible.

Influence of sitting position on pulmonary hemodynamics and intrapulmonary shunt in neurosurgery / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To study the effects of sitting position on pulmonary hemodynamics and intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt) during neurosurgery. Methods Twenty eight patients scheduled for posterior fossa and posterior cervical spinal surgery, were anesthetized with sevoflurane fentanyl pancuronium or enflurane fentanyl pancuronium after intravenous induction. Pulmonary hemodynamics were monitored with Swan Ganz catheter technique and Qs/Qt was calculated from the data of arterial and mixture venous blood gas analysis, including the following parameters: CI, RAP, MPAP, PCWP, PVRI, pHa, PaCO 2, PaO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2 and Qs/Qt. The detection time points were as the follow: before anesthesia induction, before sitting position, immediately ,60 min and 120min after sitting position, and at the supine position after termination of surgery.Results After induction of anesthesia and during operation at sitting position, CI decreased significantly (P0.05).Conclusions During neurosurgical procedure under general anesthesia and sitting position, pulmonary vascular auto regulation can be preserved and pulmonary oxygenation can be kept in normal.

STUDIES ON THE DETECTION OF CIRCULATING ANTIGENS IN THE EARLY STAGE OR THE NONPULMONARY TYPE OF PARAGONIMASIS WESTERMANI BY USING MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AGAINST PwMJ-SAg / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

The result regarding the application of McAbs against PwMJ-SAg in the detection of the circulating antigens(CAg) in sera from the patients (early stage and nonpulmonary type) with paragonimiasis westermani was reported in this paper. CAg in the sera from 35 patients in the early stage and 15 nonpulmonary type of patients was 100% positive by using McAb IB1 and JB4 out of 8 McAbs against PwMJ-SAg. Furthermore, these two McAbs didnot react crossly with the sera from 25 normal subjects, 15 patients with clonorchiasis, 15 patients with fasciolopsiasis, 15 patients with schistosomiasis japonica, 16 patients with Brugian filariasis or 10 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. However, they crossly reacted with 8 samples of sera from 15 patients (53.3%) with pagumogonimiasis skrjabini. The McAb IB1 and IB4, threfore, are appropriate as the reagents to diagnose paragonimiasis westermani (early stage or nonpulmonary type). Moreover, they are also valuable, to a certain degree, to diagnose pagumogonimiasis skrjabini.The projet was supported by NNSFC Department of parasitology .Anhni Medical University, Hefei

MECHANISM OF KILLING SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM (CHINESE STRAIN)SCHISTOSOMULA IN VITRO. ANTIBODY-DEPENDENT MURINE NEUTROPHIL-MEDIATED CYTOTOXICITY AGAINST SCHISTOSOMULA / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

In this study, antibody-dependent murine neutrophil-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)against schistosomula of Schistosoma japonicum (Chinese strain) were demonstrated in vitro by use of immune effector mechanism analysis system. The results showed that neutrophils from the normal mice could mediate the antibody-dependent ADCC reaction against the schistosomula of Schistosoma japonicum, This ADCC reaction was not dependent on the complements, the complements could not enhance the ADCC reaction mediated by the neutrophils.

CELLULAR RESPONSES ELICITED BY CHALLENGED SCHISTOSOMULA OF SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM IN THE SKIN OF NAIVE AND CHRONICALLY INFECTED MICE / 中国寄生虫学与寄生虫病杂志

Naive and chronically infected C57BL/6 mice were challenged percutaneously over the ear pinna with Schistosoma japonicum cercariae. After 15 hours, the number of EOS increased significantly in the skin of chronically infected mice. Inflammatory cells aggre-gated in the vicinity of schisto.somula or entrapped intact and disintegrated schistosomula, forming granulocytic micro-abscesses in both groups. Ultrastructure studies revealed that flattened EOS tightly attached to the schistosomulum surface and degranulated. Local tegument damage occurred in the area of attacbment. NEU adherence did not seem to be as intimate as EOS, and degranulation was not seen. The tegument of the attached schis-tosoniulum remained normal. The result suggested that EOS appeared to be the efficient killer cell against skin phase schistosomula of S. japonicum (Figs. 1-6).

PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A MURINE PROTECTIVE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY AGAINST SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM SCHISTOSOMULA / 中国寄生虫学与寄生虫病杂志

Eight murine monoclonal antibodies against surface determinants of Schistosoma japoni-cum (Chinese mainland strain) schistosomula were generated,of which only one monoclonal IgM antibody (N15D9) gave protection at level ranging from 14 to 39% in experiments of passive transfer or inhibition of infectivity while the others did not exhibit significant levels of passive protection.Further characterization of N15D9 antigen specificity showed that 96 and 14 kDa antigen molecules in cercaria,and 132 and 10 kDa in schistosomula could be recognized by N15D9 in Western blot assay.Furthermore,the 96 and 132 kDa molecules could also be recognized by pooled infected human sera while 14 kDa and 10 kDa only by sera from mice vaccinated with 3-hour schistosomula.The molecules recognizable by N15D9 were surface epitopes repeatedly expressed on cercaria,in vitro 3-hour mechanically transformed schistosomula and 5 day lung-stage schistosomula,as demonstrated by indirect immuno-fluorecence surface binding assay.

A STUDY ON THE MONOCLONAL ANTI-IDIOTYPIC ANTIBODY NP30 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF SCHISTOSOMIASIS JAPONICA / 中国寄生虫学与寄生虫病杂志

In this study the ability of the monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibody NP30 was tested as a substitute of diagnostic antigen in detecting antibody of Schistosoma japonicum from human sera by use of ELISA. The results showed that the seropositive rate was 98% with NP30 in the group of acute infection, which was comparable to 94% with gut associated antigens (GAA)and 98% with the soluble egg antigens (SEA); 87% with NP30 in the group of chronic infection which was comparable to 86% with GAA but lower than that of 98% with SEA. The false positive rate was about 3% for all three diagnostic antigens. The results also showed that the geometric mean titer (GMT) of antibody to NP30 was higher than that to GAA but lower than that to SEA in the acute infection group and the GMT of antibody to NP30 was lower than both those to GAA and to SEA in the chronic infection group,suggesting that the antibody to NP30 appeared earlier and decayed more quickly during the process of infection. The authors suggested that NP30 could be used for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.
