Objective To evaluate the performance of bispectral index (BIS),auditory evoked potential index (AEPI) and cardiovascular response to electrical tetanus stimulus (ETS) for monitoring depth of sedation induced by propofol , analgesia produced by fenanyl and depth of isoflurane anesthesia. Methods Twenty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes (11 males,9 females) aged 18-56 yr, weighing 50-80 kg undergoing elective brain surgery were studied. The patients were unpremedicated. The baseline BIS, AEPI, BP(SP, DP) and HR were measured before anesthesia. Propofol was infused at 0.25 mg?kg-1?min-1 and the infusion was stopped when the total amount of propofol infused reached 5 mg?kg-1 at the end of 20 min infusion. Fentanyl 2 ?g?kg-1 was then given i.v. Three minutes later the patients were intubated and mechanically ventilated. Tracheal intubation was facilitated by vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1. Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane. Depth of sedation was measured using OAA/S scale during propofol infusion. ETS was given at the following time points: when the amount of propofol infused reached 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 mg?kg-1,2 min after fentanyl administration and at 0.7, 1.0, 1.3 MAC isoflurane (end-tidal isoflurane concentration). BIS and AEPI values before and after ETS and changes in BP and HR (ABP, AHR) after ETS and the time for BP and HR to return to the pre-ETS value in 50% and 90% of the patients (TBP50%,TBP90%,THR50%,THR90% ) were recorded. Results BIS and AEPI were positively correlated with sedation depth. There were no significant changes in BIS and AEPI after ETS, but SP, DP and HR increased significantly after ETS( P

Objective To study the changes in cortical activation of frontal lobes and temporal lobes between schizophrenic patients and comparison subjects during a verbal fluency task by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods Thirteen schizophrenic patients and 8 volunteers were studied during a verbal fluency task performance. fMRI of frontal lobes and temporal lobes was conducted at a GE 1.5 T Signa Horizon LX scanner while the subjects performed the task. Stimulus sequences were divided into six 30-second segments by using a task-activation paradigm that alternated between resting and stimulated states. Results Schizophrenic subjects demonstrated significantly less left frontal activation than comparison subjects during a word fluency task, and comparison subjects showed evidently more activation in left frontal lobes than in the right (P0.05). Conclusion These preliminary data suggest that fMRI has the sensitivity to detect the differences in activation between comparison subjects and schizophrenic patients during higher cortical functions.

Objective To evaluate influence of general anesthesia on postoperative cognition function in the elderly patients by using different methods and choose a better anesthesia method for elderly patients. Methods Forty elderly patients undergoing selective abdominal surgery were selected and divided into two groups: anesthesia was maintained with general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia in observe group and with general anesthesia singlely in control group. Vital signs were observed and recorded during operation and blood pressure varied within the extent of 20% of basic level. Cognition function of each patient 24 hours before and 24,48 hours after operation was e-valuated by MMSE method. Results All the patients maintained steady vital signs and there was no significant differ-ence in MMSE scores between two groups at all the time points. There were 11 cases(55% ) who had acute cognitive dysfunction in observe group and 13 cases(65%) in control group 24h after operation(P>0.05) ,5 cases(25%) in observe group and 9 cases(45%) in control group 48h after surgery(P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with single general anesthesia, general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia uses less general anesthetics and has less negative effect on postoperative cognition funetion in the elderly patients,it maybe better in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac operation.

Objective:To assess the effect of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with different postoperative analgesics on prognosis after colorectal surgery. Methods:A total of 460 colorectal cancer patients (TNMⅠ-Ⅱ) who underwent elective surgery within January 2010 to December 2012 in Chongqing Cancer Hospital were randomly divided into five groups for PCIA with sufentanil, dezocine, butorphanol, morphine, and tramadol. We evaluated the analgesic efficacy, detected NK cell activity and Th1/Th2 ratio from peripheral blood, and observed short-term complications and long-term cancer recurrence and metastasis. Healthy volunteers served as the control group. Results:The morphine group displayed a VAS score of less than 3 in the rest state and showed the longest hospital stay and the highest incidence of pruritus (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was the highest in the tramadol group (P<0.05). NK cel activity and Th1/Th2 ratio decreased in al experimental groups after surgery. NK activity and Th1/Th2 ratio returned to the control level 7 days after surgery in the tramadol and sulfentanil groups and 14 days after surgery in the dezocine and butorphanol groups (P>0.05), whereas those in the morphine group remained low (P<0.05). The incidences of cancer recurrence and metastasis were ranked as follows:morphine>butorphnol>dezocine>sufentanil>tramadol. Conclusion:Tramadol and sufentanil used in PCIA after colorectal surgery could facilitate the recovery of immune function and reduced the incidence of recurrence and metastasis.
