Objective To assess the effect and safety of mono and combination of intravenous flurbiprofen axetil (FP) and epidural tramadol on postoperative pain after cesarean section. Methods Eighty parturients undergoing selected cesarean section with combined epidural spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated into 4 groups (n=20 in each): Group FT treated with intravenous FP 50 mg immediately after the umbilical cord was clamped (T1) and epidural tramadol at the time of suturing peritonaeum (T2);Group FF treated with intravenous FP 50 mg at T1 and T2;Group T treated with epidural tramadol 100 mg at T2, and Group F treated with FP 50 mg at T2. Postoperative pain was assessed by parturients using visual analog scales (VAS) at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 h after surgery. The cases that patients required rescued analgesia were recorded as well as the times of analgesics administration. The events of nausea and vomiting within 24 hours as well as the time of first breast-feeding were observed. Results All groups were similar in VAS at 2 hours after surgery, but were statistically significant different at 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours. Group FF showed significant lower VAS than the other 3 groups. However, no significant difference of VAS was observed among the other 3 groups. Rescued analgesia was administered once after surgery to 7 cases in Group F, 4 in Group T, and 2 in Group FT. No patient in Group FF required rescued analgesia. There was significant difference in the rate of rescued analgesia post surgery among the 4 groups (P=0.0149). No significance in the incidence of nausea and vomiting was observed in 4 groups. There was no significant difference in the time of first breast-feeding after surgery in the 4 groups (F=0.54,P=0.657). Conclusions Intravenous flurbiprofen axetil administration immediately after the umbilical cord is clamped and at the time of closing peritonaeum in cesarean section could relieve postoperative pain and reduce postoperative rescue analgesic requirement without increasing the incidence of nausea and vomiting.

Objective To explore the different effect of elafin incubated by different bacteria on P.aeruginosa(Pa) bioflim. Methods To cultivate the A549 cells in vitro, the pEGFP-N1-elafin eukaryotic expression vectors have been transfected to the cells by LipofectamineTM 2000. Elafin transfected cells incubated by the supernatant of S. epidermidis (S.epidermidis group), Pa (Pa group) and E.coli (E.coli group) respectively for 24 hours,the A549 cells were transfected. Then the levels of elafin were detected by ELISA and Western blot. To establish the Pa biofilm model in vitro,a rapid silver nitrate staining procedure and scanning electronic microscope (SEM)demonstrated bacterial biofilm. After biofilm carriers were put into each group and incubated for 8 hours, we measured the proportion of bacteria biofilm by silver nitrate staining and observed the structure of biofilm by SEM. Results The Pa and E.coli groups(especially Pa) raised the content of elafin in cells and the level of secretion increasing as compared to the normal group, while the S. epidermidis group had no change. Both silver nitrate staining procedure and SEM demonstrated the prestnce of bacterial biofilms. The the proportion of bacteria biofilm and the structure of BF in Pa and E.coli groups were changed, especially in Pa group. Conclusion There was a specificity for bacteria to induce the express of elafin. The inducing effect of Pa was more significant than that of E.coli.

Objective To evaluate the anesthesia and perioperative treatment for simultaneous liver-kidney-pancreas transplantation. Methods The preoperative preparation included improvement of the hepatic function, alleviation of uremia and control of blood glucose level. General anesthesia was employed and maintained with isoflurane combined with intermittent intravenous administration of midazolam, fentanyl and vecuronium. Dopamine and low dose of epinephrine were used to maintain arterial blood pressure if necessary. The parameters of blood coagulation, the indexes of hepatic and renal function, blood glucose and amylase levels in blood and urine were surveyed regularly. The treatment was adjusted according to the results of tests mentioned above. Results The circulation was stable and blood gas was normal in the course of surgery. The concentration of blood glucose was higher at the end of the operation than that of pre-operation. Normal hepatic and pancreatic function was achieved about a week after operation, while the renal function showed no satisfactory improvement. The patient was given hemodialysis until the second transplantation of kidney. Three days later, the renal function recovered to normal. Up to the present, all the grafted organs showed good function. Conclusion Appropriate preoperative preparation, optimal anesthetic procedure and management, perfect protection of function of multiple organs, and maintenance of stable hemodynamics and homeostasis were the key points of successful anesthesia and management for simultaneous liver-kidney-pancreas transplantation.
