Retrospective analysis of 4 biochemical indicators on 4042 of urban and rural residents / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To understand the abnormal status of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),fasting blood glucose (GLU),to-tal cholesterol (TC)and triglyceride (TG)in urban and rural residents,to provide the basis for making the effective prevention measures,health education and health promotion to community work more targeted and effective.Methods The data of physical ex-amination results of 4 042 residents were analyzed retrospectively,the levels and abnormal rates of ALT,TG,TC,GLU were com-pared between different gender and age.Results Among 4 042 residents,the abnormal rate of male was significant higher than that of female,but the abnormal rates of TG,TC of female were significant higher than those of male(P <0.05).The highest rates of ALT,TG,TC,GLU in male were in 20-<40 years old,40-<60 years old,60-<80 years old,≥80 years old.The highest rates of ALT,TG,TC,GLU in female were in 0-<20 years old,60 -<80 years old,≥ 80 years old,≥80years old.Conclusion The health status of urban and rural residents is not optimistic,the community intervention,health guidance should be strengthened to prevent and control the occurrence and development of diseases and improve the health level of urban and rural residents.

Effect of cholinesterase inhibitor on endotoxin-induced brain injury in rabbits / 中华麻醉学杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of cholinesterase inhibitor on endotoxin-induced brain injury in rabbits.Methods Twenty-one healthy male rabbits were randomly assigned into three groups ( n ＝ 7each):group sham operation (group S),lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group and cholinesterase inhibitor (tacrine hydrochloride,THA) group.LPS 200 μg/kg was intracerebroventricularly injected in LPS group,LPS 200μg/kgand tacrine hydrochloride 150 μg/kg were injected in THA group,while same volume of normal saline was injected in S group.Then blood and tissue samples were collected in different groups after 4 hours.Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 activity of brain tissues was determined by using Western blot analysis.Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in plasma,cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissues were measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The brain tissue's myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and the ratio of wet to dry weight (W/D) were also analyzed.ResultsAs compared with S group,TNF-α level in plasma,cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissues,NF-κB p65 level,MPO activity and W/D ratio increased in LPS and THA groups (P < 0.05).When compared with LPS group,TNF-α level in plasma,cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissues,NF-κB p65 level,MPO activity and W/D ratio decreased in THA group ( P < 0.05 ).ConclusionCholinesterase inhibitor can attenuate the endotoxin-induced brain injury through inhibiting local inflammatory responses.

Efficacy of one lung protective ventilation regimen based on quarsi-static pressure-volume curve in patients undergoing thoracic surgery / 中华麻醉学杂志

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of PEEP set according to pressure-volume (P-V) curve for one lung ventilation (OLV) in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.MethodsOne hundred and twenty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes aged 20-60 yr weighing 40-80 kg undergoing lobectomy under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study.Double lumen tube was inserted.Correct positioning was verified by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.The patients were mechanically ventilated.P-V curve was determined at 3 min of two-lung ventilation (TLV).Lower inflection point (LIP) was measured and the pressure at LIP (PLIP) was recorded.The patients were randomly divided into 5 groups (n ＝ 24 each):control group (group C) and 4 lung protective ventilation regimen groups ( groups P1-4 ).PEEP was set at 0 and VT was set at 10 ml/kg in group C.PEEP was set at 0 and VT was set at 6 ml/kg in group P1.PEEP was set at PLIP- 2 cm H2O and VT was set at 6 ml/kg in group P2.PEEP was set at PLIP and VT was set at 6 ml/kg in group P3.PEEP was set at PLIP + 2 cm H2O and VT was set at 6 ml/kg in group P4.Peak airway pressure (Ppeak),plateau airway pressure (Pplat),airway resistance (Raw) and lung compliance (CL ) were measured and recorded during OLV and TLV after a period of stabilization.Arterial blood samples were taken before induction of anesthesia and at 20 min of TLV and 20 min of OLV for blood gas analysis.Qs/Qt was calculated.Arterial blood samples were collected at the beginning and end of OLV for determination of plasma concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α(by ELISA).ResultsCompared with group C,Ppeak and Pplat were significantly increased while Raw was decreased and plasma IL-6 concentration was significantly decreased at the end of OLV in group P4.PaCO2 was significantly higher during TLV and OLV in groups P1-4 than in group C.There was no significant difference in the parameters of respiratory mechanics,blood gases and plasma IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations among groups P1,2.3.Compared with groups P1,2,3,Ppeak and Pplat were significantly increased while plasma IL-6 concentration was decreased at the end of OLV in group P4.ConclusionMechanical ventilation with VT set at 6ml/kg and PEEP at PLIP + 2 cm H2 O provides best venfilatory efficacy for OLV in terms of oxygenation and inhibition of inflammatory response.

Effect of Postoperative Continuous Epidural Analgesia with Sufentanil in Different Concentrations and Combined with Bupivacaine on Pain after Thoracotomy / 中国康复理论与实践

@#ObjectiveTo observe the effect and safety of continuous epidural analgesia with sufentanil in different concentrations combined with 0.125% bupivacaine on pain after thoracotomy.Methods30 patients with ASA grade Ⅱ～Ⅲ and underwent thoracotomy were randomly divided into 3 groups treated with 0.125% bupivacaine combined with sufentanil 0.25 μg/ml (group A), 0.50 μg/ml (group B) and 0.75 μg/ml (group C) respectively. Before operation starting, epidural puncture was performed at T7～T8 and a catheter was put in. After operation, continuous epidural analgesia was performed by connecting the catheter and a analgesic pump. Analgesia effect was evaluated by visual analogous score (VAS) at sixth, twelfth, twenty-fourth and forty-eighth hours after operation. Dosage of assistant drug and side effects such as calmness, nausea, vomiting, skin pruritus and respiratory inhibition were also recorded.ResultsVAS scores and dosage of assistant drug of group B and group C were not different, but they were all lower than that of group A (P<0.05). Scores of skin pruritus of group A and group B were lower than that of group C (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between group A and group B. No respiratory inhibition occurred in patients of all three groups.ConclusionContinuous epidural analgesia of 0.50 μg/ml sufentanil combined with 0.125% bupivacaine is safe and effective for patients after thoracotomy.

Protective effects of vagus nerve stimulation on the liver in a rat model of sepsis / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To determine if stimulation of cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway mediated by vagus can protect liver against sepsis.Methods Male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal methane 1g?kg~(-1).Left common carotid artery,was cannulated for MAP monitoring and blood sampling.Sepsis was produced by ligation of cecum which was punctured twice at an interspace of 3 mm with a 9G needle(CLP).Bilateral vagus nerves were isolated,ligated with 4-0 silk and cut(VGX).The distal end of the vagus nerve was stimulated with direct current(5V,2 ms,1 Hz)continuously for 20 min(STM).Forty animals were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=10 each):group Ⅰ sham operation;group Ⅱ CLP;group Ⅲ CLP + VGX and group Ⅳ CLP+VGX+STM.Arterial blood samples were obtained at 0,1,2 and 4 h after operation for determination of plasma TNF-? concentration and serum ALT and AST activities.The animals were then killed and the livers removed for ultrastructure examination with electron microscope.Results Electrical stimulation of the distal end of vagus nerve significantly attenuated the significant decrease in MAP and increase in plasma TNF-? concentration and serum AST and ALT activities and the damage to the organelle in the liver cell induced by sepsis.Conclusion Our results show that electrical stimulation of vagus nerve can protect liver from sepsis to some extent through cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.
