Objective To determine the median effective dose(ED50)of etomidate inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation when combined with dexmedetomidine in the patients with obstructive jaundice. Methods American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients with obstructive jaundice,aged 45-63 yr,with body mass index of 18-30kg/m2,scheduled for elective operations under general anesthesia,were divided into control group(group C)and dexmedetomidine group(group D)using a random number table. At 15min before induction of anesthesia,normal saline 0.1 ml/kg was infused intravenously in group C,and dexmedetomidine 0.4 μg/kg was infused intravenously in group D. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg,fentanyl 4 μg/kg,etomidate and cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg. The ED50 of etomidate was determined using Dixon′s up-and-down method. Etomidate was injected intravenously at the initial dose of 0.2 mg/kg in the first patient in each group. Each time the dose increased/decreased in the next patient according to whether or not the increase in mean arterial pressure and/or heart rate ≥ 20% of the baseline value within 3min after endotracheal intubation. The ratio between the two successive doses was 1.1. The number of patients in whom inhibition was effective or ineffective was recorded,and the ED50 and 95% confidence interval of etomidate inhibiting responses to intubation were calculated using Probit analysis. Results The ED50 (95% confidence interval)of etomidate inhibiting responses to intubation was 0.185(0.162-0.201)mg/kg in group C,the ED50(95% confidence interval)of etomidate inhibiting responses to intubation was 0.129(0.093-0.143)mg/kg in group D,and there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion When combined with dexmedetomidine,the ED50 of etomidate inhibiting responses to endotracheal intubation is 0.129 mg/kg in the patients with obstructive jaundice.

Objective To investigate the changing of endothelial progenitor cells and nitric oxide in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Method Mononuclear cells from 20 healthy persons (the control group, n = 20) , COPD patients without PAH (COPD non-PAH group, n =30) and patients with PAH secondary to COPD (COPD and PAH group, n=30) were investigated. Total mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. EPC number and migration were assayed by colony forming unit-EPCs (CFU-EPCs) assay and modified Boyden chamber assay , respectively. EPC adhesion assay was performed by replanting those on fibronectin-coated dishes , then adherent cells were counted. The concentration of NO was measured with method of nitrate reductase.Result The numbers of CFU and migration, adhesion activity of circulating EPCs in COPD[ (21.9±3. 9)CFU-EPC] and PAH group[ (14. 2 ±3. 5)CFU-EPC] were significantly lower than that in non-COPD group and COPD non-PAH group [ ( 24.9 ±4.1) CFU-EPC ]. It was also observed that a strong negative correlation between the levels of PAH and the numbers of CFU and adhesion, migration activity of circulating EPCs. The NO level in the PAH group [ (43. 6 ±4. 8)ng/ml] was significantly lower than that in control group [ ( 67. 17±4.9 ) ng/ml ] ( P < 0.01). The NO level was positively correlated with number and migration ability of EPCs( r =0. 77,0.71, P <0.01) , but not correlated with adhesion ability.Conclusion The number of CFU and migratory, adhesive activity of EPC in patients withPAH secondary to COPD was significantly decreased. These changes may be associated with low level of plasma NO.

Objective To establish the model of distraction osteogenesis for rabbit femur bone defect, and to observe the effect of icariin on regenerate ossification after distraction osteogenesis, thus to find a method for promoting regenerate ossification after distraction osteogenesis. Methods After the rabbit model of bone defect had been established successfully, the rabbits were equipped with distraction device. And then the 24 modeled rab bits were randomly divided into 2 groups. The experimental group was injected with icariin extract of Herba Epimedii into the interspace of bone distraction, and the control group was given local injection of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2, 100μg/kg) . On week 0, 1, 4 and 6 after the resting period, X-ray photography was carried out in both groups. On week 6 after distraction osteogenesis, the bone specimens of distraction osteogenesis region in both groups were observed by micro-computerized tomography ( CT) for the comparison of bone mass, and bone mineral content and mineral density of the newly-formed bone. Results The results of the features of imageology, and the statistical data of the bone mineral content and density showed that osteogenesis speed and osteogenic quality of the experimental group were superior to those of the control group. Conclusion The rabbit model of distraction osteogenesis for femur bone defect has been established preliminarily, and icariin can promote the speed and quality of regenerate ossification after distraction osteogenesis.

Objective The predictive value of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) for mortality from all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the Chinese population is unclear. The aim of this present study was to compare MetS with its individual components as predictors of mortality in Chinese elderly adults. Methods A cohort of 1,535 subjects (994 men and 541 women) aged 50 years or older was selected from employees of a machinery factory in 1994 and followed until 2009. Cox models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) predicted by MetS according to the harmonized definition and by its individual components. Results The baseline prevalence of MetS was 28.0% in men and 48.4% in women. During a median follow-up of 15 years, 414 deaths occurred, of these, 153 participants died from CVD. Adjusted for age and gender, the HRs of mortality from all-cause and CVD in participants with MetS were 1.47 (95% confidence interval (CI): components. On evaluating the MetS components individually, we found that, independent of MetS, only hypertension and impaired glucose predicted higher mortality. Conclusions The number of positive MetS components seems no more informative than classifying (dichotomous) MetS for CVD risks assessment in this Chinese cohort.
