Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1994;0(06):-
Objective To investigate the effects of propofol administered before, with or after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the acute lung injury (ALI) induced by IPS in rats. Methods Seventy-six male Wistar rats weighing 250-290 g were randomly divided into 5 groups : (A) control group received only normal saline (n = 8); (B) LPS group received LPS 8 mg?kg-1 iv (n = 17); (C, D, E) propofol group-Ⅰ,Ⅱ, Ⅲreceived propofol (a bolus of 5 mg?kg-1 followed by infusion at 10 mg?kg-1?h-1) 1 h before (group C, propofol - Ⅰ , n = 17) , simultaneously with (group D, propofol-Ⅱ, n=17) or 1h after LPS administration (group E, propofol-Ⅲ , n = 17) . The animals were observed for 5h after LPS administration for MAP monitoring and mortality and then killed. The lungs were immediately removed for determination of expressions of nitrotyrosine protein and iNOS mRNA, wet / dry lung weight ratio and pulmonary permeability index (PPI). The lungs were also lavaged. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALE) was collected for measurement of TNF-?, NO and protein contents. Results In group C and D propofol given before and simultaneously with LPS significantly inhibited the increase in nitrotyrosine protein and iNOS expression induced by LPS, improved MAP, reduced 5h mortality rate, decreased PPI and protein, NO and TNF-?contents in BALF compared with group B (P

Objective To explore the differences between the conservative treatment and the operative treatment in the management of cervical spinal cord injury, and the timing of the operation. Methods The therapeutic effectiveness o f the 45 cases who were treated from October 1996 to January 2002 was analyzed. 21 of them underwent conservative treatment and 24 operative treatment. The corr elation between the therapeutic effects of the operation and its timing was expl ored. Results The myeloid functional recovery was poor in the patients who had b een treated with conservative means but good in those who had been given an oper ation. The earlier the operation, the more effective it could be, and the higher the probability of the myeloid functional recovery. Conclusions The operative treatment promises better outcome than the conservative treatment. To get the be st effects, the operation should be done within one month after the injury, for the longer the lapse between the injury and the operation, the worse the effect.

Objective To assess the outcome of internal urethrotomy for the treatment of urethral stricture. Metho ds In the past 10 years, a total of 203 patients with proved urethra l strictures were treated by optical internal urethrotomy.Follow-up studies wer e carried out for 157 patients. Results Of the 203 patie nts 194(96%) have undergone successful internal urethrotomy, 9 patients(4%) with long stricture more than 3 cm failed on repeated internal urethr otomy and required open surgery. Internal urethrotomy was carried out twice for 9 patients and thrice for 5 with successful outcome. Of the 194 patients 157 wer e followed up for 6 months to 8 years, in whom 143 have had satisfactory voiding and 14 needed intermittent dilation. Conclusions Endosc opic treatment shoud be considered as the procedure of first choice for the tr eatment of urethral strictuer, however repeated urethrotomy should be avoided.

Objective:To study the effect of surrounding tissues on the minimum cross-section area(minCSA) of upper airway in non-snoring males.Methods: Upper airway scanning by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) was conducted in 83 non-snoring males aged 22 to 57 years. The correlation between the minCSA of upper airway and the linear, area and volume measurement items about the morphology of the surrounding tissues was analyzed. Results: The minCSA was in velopharynx or glossopharynx. In non-snoring males,the main relative factors to minCSA were transverse dimension/ transverse distance between mandible(r=0.700), transverse dimension/ pharyngeal wall thickness(r=0.680), and parapharyngeal fat volume(r=-0.290). The velopharynx was more prone to be affected by the surrounding tissues than the glossopharynx. The location of the parapharyngeal fat, the lateral pharyngeal wall and parapharyngeal fat volume had the most obvious influence on the velopharyngeal size in sequence. While the thickness of the lateral pharyngeal wall was the main factor which influenced the size of glossopharynx. Conclusion: The feature of surrounding tissues has certain influence on minCSA of upper airway in non-snoring males.
