Objective To investigate the effect of nicardipine on perioperative insulin sensitivity in patients with essential hypertension(EH). Methods Thirty-eight patients undergoing lobectomy continuously after induction of anesthesia in group N, while normal saline was infused in group C instead of nicardipine. Blood samples were taken immediately before induction of anesthesia(T_0), 2 h after skin incision(T_1) ,4 h after surgery(T_2) and 24 h after surgery(T_3). Blood glucose(BG) and plasma insulin (Ins) were measured. The Insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated. Results Values of BG at T_2and T_3 in group C were higher than those at T_0 (P<0. 05). Value of Ins at T_2 in group C was higher than that at T_0 (P<0. 05),which at T_3 in group C was significantly higher than that at T_0 (P<0. 01). ISI at T_2 in group C was lower than that at T_0 (P<0. 05) ,which at T_3 in group C was lower significantly than that at T_0 (P<0. 01). Values of BG and Ins at T_3 in group N were higher than those at T_0 (P<0. 05), ISI at T_3 in group N was lower than that at T_0 (P<0. 05). Value of BG at T_2 was significantly lower in group N than that in group C(P<0. 05). Value of Ins at T_3 was significantly lower in group N than that in group C(P<0. 01). ISI at T_2 and T_3 in group N was min~(-1) infused continuously during and after lobectomy can increase significantly insulin sensitivity and improve postopertive insulin resistance state in EH patients.

Objective To compare fentanyl and sufentanil in total intravenous anesthesia for liver resection. Methods 100 patients undergoing liver resection were randomly received either sufentanil (group S, n = 50) anesthesia or fentanyl (group C, n = 50). Hemodynamic variables, time to spontaneous eye opening and extubation were recorded. VAS-scale was used to assess postoperative pain. The incidence of nausea & vomiting, agitation and respiratory depression was recorded and compared. Results Patients in group S had a more stable hemodynamic variables, and the incidence of postoperative pain (VAS: group S 4. 2± 1.1, group C 6. 1 ± 1.2), agitation (group S 2 cases, group C 11 cases) and respiratory depression (group S 1 case, group C 5 cases)was lower. Conclusions Both sufentanil and fentanyl were safe and efficacious in total intravenous anesthesia for liver resection. Compared with fentanyl, Sufentanil had higher hemodynamic stability, and lower incidence of postoperative pain, respiratory depression and agitation.

Objective To investigate the effect of chronic electrical stimulus (CES) of low frequency and physiological frequency on diaphragmatic subtype of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and mechanical characteristic in rabbits with emphysema. Methods The rabbit model of emphysema was made by inhaling papain of ultrasonic atomization once a week for 3 weeks in 30 adult Japanese rabbits, 6 receiving 10 Hz chronic low-frequency electrical stimulation, 6 receiving 40 Hz, 6 receiving 10 Hz plus 40 Hz. Another 6 emphysema rabbits and 6 normal rabbits served as control. The twitch tension (Pt), titanic tension (Po), time to peak tension (TPT), half-relaxation time (1/2Rt), fatigue index (FI) and fatigue recovery index (FRI) were measured and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to observe the changes in subtype of MHC in control group, emphysema group, CES groups respectively. Results ①Following chronic electrical stimulus of 40 Hz, 10 Hz, and (10+40) Hz, the relative contents of MHC were increased in diaphragmatic muscle of rabbits with emphysema. The percentage of MHC-I was significantly increased in the 10 Hz group, while that of MHC-I and MHC-IIa were significantly increased in the (10+40) Hz group. ②Following chronic electrical stimulation using 40 Hz and (10+40)Hz, diaphragmatic muscle Pt and Po were significantly increased in rabbits with emphysema, TPT and 1/2Rt were significantly reduced, and FI and FRI were significantly decreased (P

Objective To determine the levels of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) in glioma tumor tissue and their clinical significance. Methods The levels of IGFBP-2 in glioma samples from 45 patients were detected with immunohistochemistry. Their correlation with tumor grade, p53 and Ki67 expression levels and the outcome of patients were tested. Results IGFBP-2 increased in glioma tissue in a grade-dependent manner, and significantly correlated with p53 and Ki67 expression. High IGFBP-2 level is significantly associated with earlier tumor recurrence and shorter overall survival. Conclusion Tumor IGFBP-2 levels can supply more prognostic information to the tumor grading system.

Objective To study the protective effects of propofol against ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat lung. Methods Rat model of pulmonary ischemia/reperfusion injury was used in this study. Rats were randomly divided into three groups, including sham opera-tion group (group A), iachemia/reperfusion group (group B) and propofol group (group C), 15 rats in each group. The concentration of tumor necrosis factor -α and interleukin-6 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Then blood gas analysis, lung wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio were detected in each group. Results Propofol could significantly improve PaO2, reduce the W/D value and the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF. Conclusion Propofol effectively suppressed the pro-duction and release of inflammatory cytokine, therefore it can protect the lung from isehemia/reperfusion injury.

AIM\ To study the protective mechanism of ligustrazine(LT), shenmai injection(SI), combination of ligustrazine and shenmai injection (LSI) to injury of kidney after brain ischemia reperfusion in aged rats from the free radical change. METHODS Aged rats (more than 20 months) were divided into model group (Aged model), control group(Aged control), nimotop group(NG), ligustrazine group(LG), shenmai injection group(SIG) and LSI group(LSG). The following items was measured in aged rats with 60 min reperfusion after 30 min brain ischemia: the content of creatinine(Cr), urea nitrogen(BUN), MDA and the activitiy of superoxide dismutase(SOD). RESULTS The distinct pathological and functional injury in the kidney was found in the models, and this change was alleviated in each treatment group. The increase of MDA content in the models kidney tissue was obvious than that in the controls. The MDA level in the LG and the SIG was decreased. CONCLUSION The kidney injury after brain ischemia reperfusion in aged rats is correlated with the injury of free radical. LT, SI ,LSI and nimotop alleviate this injury. LT and SI restraine the injury of lipid peroxidation, this may be one of the mechanisms of restraining kidney injury after brain ischemia reperfusion.
