Objective To evaluate the role of orexin in the sleep disorder after isoflurane anesthesia in rats.Methods Sixty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 10-12 weeks,weighing 280-320 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =32 each) using a random number table:control group (C) and isoflurane group (Ⅰ).Group Ⅰ inhaled 1.2％ isoflurane from 8:00 to 13:30 to induce anesthesia,followed by 0.5 h of recovery.Group C received no anesthesia and the other procedures were similar to those previously described in group Ⅰ.The induction time and awakening time were recorded.Eight rats were randomly chosen to record the movement condition (locomotor time and activity) from 14:00 to 8:00 the next morning.Before beginning of anesthesia,at 4 h after beginning of anesthesia,and at 4 and 10 h after the end of anesthesia,6 rats were randomly chosen in each group to count the orexin/c-fos double-labeled neurons in hypothalamus.The ratio of activated orexin neurons (orexin/c-fos double-labeled neurons to orexin positive neurons) was calculated and plasma orexin-A concentration was detected.Results The induction time was (2.14 ± 0.17) min,awakening time was (8.7 ± 0.5) min,and EEG showed that there was no typical burst and suppression patterns in group Ⅰ.There was no significant difference in the number of orexin positive neurons between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group C,the time for locomotor activity was significantly prolonged,and the activity was increased during the night (P ＜ 0.01),the number of activated neurons,ratio of activated orexin neurons and plasma orexin-A concentration were decreased at 4 h after beginning of anesthesia in group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01).The plasma orexin-A concentration was lower at 4 h after beginning of anesthesia,while higher at 10 h after the end of anesthesia than before beginning of anesthesia in group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.05).The number of activated neurons was significantly larger and ratio of activated orexin neurons was higher before beginning of anesthesia and at 10 h after the end of anesthesia and the plasma orexin-A concentration was higher at 4 and 10 h after the end of anesthesia than at 4 h after beginning of anesthesia in group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion The development of sleep disorder after isoflurane anesthesia during the day time in rats is related to the regulatory role of orexin in it.

Objective To investigate how to avoid and deal with injuries to the aberrant right posterior hepatic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).Method We studied 1 710 patients who underwent LC in our unit from January 2011 to November 2013.There were 5 patients with right posterior hepatic duct abnormally,and this paper analysed the cases.Results In the 5 patients,one patient had the right posterior hepatic duct draining into the gallbladder body (Ⅰ A type),two patients had the right posterior hepatic duct draining into the cystic duct (ⅢA type),and two patients had the cystic duct draining into the right posterior hepatic duct (ⅢB type).There was no damage to the right posterior hepatic duct during operation.One patient was converted from LC to open operation.The major aberrance was class Ⅲ.Conclusions Variant bile duct is an important cause of bile duct injuries during LC.The right posterior hepatic duct variation is the most common form.To raise our vigilance and fully understand the types of aberrant right posterior hepatic duct,reasonable use of preoperative MRCP and intraoperative cholangiography in selected patients are fundamental.Aberrant right posterior hepatic duct injuries can effectively be avoided.

Objective To assess the results of colonoscopy surveillance in 5 years after polypectomy of non-advanced colorectal adenoma and to identify its risk factors. Methods Patients undergoing colonosco-py and followed up with colonoscopy within 5 years between January 2003 and December 2013 were retro-spectively analyzed.No substance or only small quantity of clear water left in the intestinal tract and colono-scopes accessing ileocecus were regarded as complete examination. The initial colonoscopy was regarded as the baseline colonoscopy. Patients with non-advanced adenomas were assigned to the case group and those without were to the control group. Data of clinical characteristics and colorectal findings were estimated and risk factors were identified. Results A total of 828 patients were included,374 patients in the case group and 454 in the control group on baseline colonoscopy.The case group had a low incidence of advanced adeno-mas at a 1 to 5 years interval when compared with the control group,both with adequate baseline examination [1. 5%(5/ 326)VS 2. 2%(9/ 408),P = 0. 51]. The detection rates of advanced adenomas on follow-up colonoscopy at 1 to 3 years and 3 to 5 years in case group were 1. 7%(3/ 178)and 1. 4%(2/ 148),respec-tively(P>0. 05).Regression analysis showed age≥50 years old and being male were the independent risk factors for advanced adenomas recurrence within 5 years follow-up. No colon cancer was found in 828 patients during the follow-up. Conclusion Surveillance colonoscopy intervals within 5 years is of little benefit to pa-tients who had adequate polypectomy. Too early reexaminations due to concerns about advanced adenomas recurrence can be avoided.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sevoflurane anesthesia on the sleep architecture of rats.Methods Sixteen pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 10-12 weeks,weighing 300-350 g,were divided into 2 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and sevoflurane group (group S).Each rat was implanted with a transmitter for recording electromyogram and electroencephalogram via telemetry.The rats were exposed to 2.4％ sevoflurane and pure oxygen 1.5 L/min for 5.5 h followed by 0.5 h washout with pure oxygen in group S,and the rats were exposed to pure oxygen 1.5 L/min for 6 h in group C.Then the rats were taken into the sleep monitoring box,and the 24 h after anesthesia was divided into 4 time periods according to the circadian rhythm:L1 (14:00-20:00),D1 (20:00-02:00),D2 (02:00-08:00) and L2 (08:00-14:00).The total time spent on wakefulness,on non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and on REM sleep,the number of wakefulness,NREM sleep and REM sleep,and the time spent on wakefulness,on NREM sleep and on REM sleep during each time period were recorded using Version 3.0 Neurosore software.Results Compared with group C,the total time spent on wakefulness was significantly shortened,the total time spent on REM sleep was prolonged,the number of NREM sleep was increased,the time spent on REM sleep in L1 and D1 time periods was prolonged,the time spent on wakefulness in D2 time period was shortened,the time spent on NREM sleep was prolonged (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the total time spent on NREM sleep or the number of REM sleep and wakefulness in group S (P＞0.05).Conclusion Sevoflurane anesthesia can change the stability of sleep architecture,increase REM sleep and reduce wakefulness in rats.

Objective To provide new evidences for understanding the mechanisms of promo-tive role of orexins in anesthetic emergence and the effect of microinjection of orexin-A/orexin-B into cerebral ventricle on the release of histamine.Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into sa-line (control ), orexin-A and orexin-B groups. The microdialysis probe was inserted into hypothalamus under stereotaxic apparatus.The perfused fluid from the area of hypothalamic tube-romammillary nucleus was collected using in vivo microdialysis at 1 h,2 h and 3 h after 1 nmol or 5 nmol orexin-A or orexin-B microinjection into the cerebral ventricle (n =5 each).The concentrations of histamine at each time point in dialysates of perfused fluid were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)to analyze its dynamic changes.After one week,each group was microin-jected with 10 nmol,15 nmol and 20 nmol orexin-A and orexin-B (n =5)into the cerebral ventricle respectively,dialysates was collect and histamine was detected at 1 h to analyze its dosage response. After one week,each group was microinjected 0.3 μl saline orexin-A and orexin-B (n =6)into the tu-beromammillary nucleus.Results Compared with the control group,microinjection of 1 nmol orexin-A significantly increased histamine release at 1 h,but the same dose of orexin-B had no such effect,5 nmol of orexin-A or orexin-B injections significantly facilitated histamine release at 2 h and 3 h (P <0.01).Microinjection of 10 nmol,15 nmol and 20 nmol orexin-A and orexin-B into ventricle caused an significant increase of histamine release at 1 h while the effect was the strongest in 20 nmol (P <0.05).Compared with the control group,microinjection of orexin-A significantly decreased time of the righting reflex (P <0.01),but the same dose of orexin-B had no such effect.Conclusion Micro-injection of both orexin-A or orexin-B into cerebral ventricle could promote the release of histamine, while the effect of orexin-A was stronger.Microinjection orexin-A into tuberomammillary nucleus sig-nificant facilitated recovery from isoflurane.
