RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the effect and hemodynamics of sevoflurane(SEV) and propofol (PRO) in combined anesthesia induction with remifentanil for tracheal intubation fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-four patients without difficult airway undergoing elective surgery with tracheal intubation general anesthesia were randomly divided into SEV and PRO group. FOB intubation was performed with sevoflurane or propofol administration combined with remifentanil induction. Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), SPO2 and Narcotrend index (NI) were monitored to evaluate the anesthetic depth during the induction. The time to loss of consciousness (LOC), intubation time, intubation score, anesthetic dosage and adverse effects were recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>No significant difference was found between the two groups in the time to LOC, intubation time, intubation score, remifentanil dosage. Intubation was performed successfully in both groups. BP and HR of both groups decreased after the induction and did not increase after the intubation, with variation within the normal range. No significant difference in BP and HR was found between the two groups. NI of both groups decreased after the induction and during intubation. NI of SEV group 2 min after intubation was higher than that of PRO group. There was no significant difference in NI between the two groups at the other time points. No significant adverse effects or recall of the intubation procedure were reported.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Anesthesia induction FOB intubation with sevoflurane and propofol, both in combination with remifentanil, can be applied in surgical patients without contraindications to general anesthesia, and both methods can provide fast induction and good intubation condition with stable hemodynamics.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of intrathecal ouabain and tizanidine injection for treatment of neuropathic pain in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 6), namely the control group, ouabain group, tizanidine group, combined ouabain and tizanidine injection group, and the antagonist group. Intrathecal catheter was implanted 7 days before spinal nerve ligation to establish the neuropathic pain model. Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) before and after intrathecal administration of the agents was recorded in the rats. Isobolographic analysis was performed to evaluate the interactions between the agents.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Intrathecal injection of ouabain (0.25-5 microg) or tizanidine (0.5-5 microg) alone produced dose-dependent analgesic effect against the neuropathic pain (P < 0.05). Isobolographic analysis revealed a synergistic interaction between ouabain and tizanidine. Intrathecal pretreatment with atropine (5 microg) or yohimbine (20 microg) antagonized the effects of ouabain and tizanidine administered alone or in combination (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Intathecal injection of ouabain or tizanidine produces dose-dependent analgesic effects against neuropathic pain, and their synergistic effect after combined injection probably involves the cholinergic transmission and alpha2 receptor.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of esmolol application before and during operation on propofol dose required for anesthesia induction and maintenance.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty patients (ASA physical status I or II) undergoing general anesthesia for thyroidectomy were randomized equally into esmolol and control groups. Patients in esmolol group received a loading dose of esmolol at 0.5 mg/kg in 30 ml normal saline over a period of 5 min followed by an intravenous infusion of esmolol at 50 microg.kg(-1).min(-1) until the end of surgery, while patients in the control group were given normal saline in the same manner, in addition to anesthesia with protofol. Perioperative hemodynamic parameters and BIS were measured, and the duration of anesthesia, operation and recovery time from anesthesia were recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were significant differences between the two groups in propofol dose required for anesthesia induction and recovery time from anesthesia, but not in maintenance propofol dose. Patients in esmolol group had significantly lower HR and BIS during tracheal intubation than those in the control group , and no significant differences were found in HR, BP and BIS during operation between the two groups. The hemodynamic parameters during extubation showed less fluctuation in esmolol group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Perioperative esmolol administration during anesthesia reduces propofol dose required for anesthesia induction and recovery time from anesthesia, and decreases HR and BIS variation during tracheal intubation and hemodynamic response during extubation without affecting the maintenance propofol dose.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To examine the effect of ulinastatin (UTI) on the inflammatory responses induced by oesophagectomy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty patients with esophageal cancer (without serious hypertension, heart disease, or respiratory function impairment, including 34 men and 6 women aged 46 to 70 years) scheduled for oesophagectomy via left thoracotomy were randomly divided into control group (n=20) and UTI group (n=20). Anesthesia induction and perioperative management followed the same protocols in the two groups, and in UTI group, patients received 5000 U/kg UTI while those in the control group were given the same volume of saline. Before operation (T(1)), 10 min after recovery of two-lung ventilation (T(2)), and 24 h (T(3)) and 48 h (T(4)) after operation, the venous blood sample was taken from the internal jugular vein and the plasma was separated and stored at -70 degrees C for later analysis of IL-6 and IL-8 with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The bronchoalveoar lavage fluid (BAFL) was also collected at T(1) and T(2) for IL-6 and IL-8 detection.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>IL-6, IL-8 levels in the plasma and BALF collected at T(2)-T(4) increased significantly as compared with those in samples collected at T(1), and their peak concentration inplasma and BALF samples were similar. IL-6 and IL-8 levels in the UTI group were significantly lower than those in the control group during the time points of T(2)-T(4).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Inflammatory responses occur during and after oesophagectomy, which can be inhibited with UTI.</p>
