AIM: To investigate the antinociceptive effect of anticholinesterase agent physostigmine at different postoperative time, and the interaction of intravenous physostigmine with intrathecal morphine in rats. METHODS: Six groups of rats were operated on for intrathecal and intravenous catheterization. Nociceptive responses of hind paws of each animal were measured with "plantar stimulation" test 1-3 h and 3 d postoperatively. Animals received intravenous (iv) physostigmine, intrathecal (ith) morphine, or combination of both. The antinociceptive effect of each group was converted to the percent maximum possible effect (% MPE). RESULTS: Administration of physostigmine 1-3 h after operation resulted in dramatic increase in % MPE. The effects of combinations of iv physostigmine and ith morphine were more pronounced at early postoperative time. The potency of low dose combination was significantly greater than that of double doses of both drugs. The % MPE of the observed effects of all combinations was significantly higher than that of the expected additive effects. CONCLUSION: The antinociception of physostigmine occurs at early postoperative time. The interaction of iv physostigmine with ith morphine indicates their synergistic effect.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of manually controlled jet ventilation with Manujet Ⅲ apparatus (VBM Co, Germany) for removal of airway foreign body in children. Methods One hundred and twenty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ children aged 10 months-12 yr, weighing 8-35 kg undergoing removal of airway foreign body were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=40 each) : group Ⅰ spontaneous respiration (SR) ; group Ⅱ intermittentpositive pressure ventilation through the short side tube of the rigid bronchoscope (IPPV) and group Ⅲ manually controlled jet ventilation with Manujet Ⅲ (JV). Anesthesia was induced with methylprednisolone 2 mg/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg and γ-OH 70 mg/kg in group SR (Ⅰ) and with methylprednisolone 2 mg/kg, propofol 4-5 mg/kg, fentanyl 1.5 μg/kg and succinylcholine 2 mg/kg in group IPPV and JV (Ⅱ,Ⅲ). The bronchescope insertion condition, the occurrence of hypoxia during and after operation, body movement during operation, the rate of successful removal of the foreign body, the duration of operation, anesthesia emergence time and perioperative side effects were recorded. Resulls The rate of good bronchescope insertion condition and successful removal of airway foreign body were significantly higher, the rate of hypoxia during and after operation, body movement, breath holding and restlessness were significantly lower and duration of operation and anesthesia emergence time were significantly shorter in group IPPV and JV than in group SR (P<0.05). The rate of intraoperative hypoxia was significantly lower in group JV than in group IPPV (P<0.05). Conclusion Jet ventilation with Manujet Ⅲ can reduce the occurrence of hypoxia during removal of airway foreign body in children and does not interfere with the operation.

Objective To compare the hemodynamics and respiratory mechanics between flexible reinforced laryngeal mask airway (FRLMA) and tracheal intubation (TI) in functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Methods Forty-six patients (ASA) scheduled for selective functional endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia were allocated randomly to either flexible reinforced laryngeal mask airway group (FRLMA, n=23) or tracheal intubation group (TI, n=23) with mechanical ventilation. MAP and HR were recorded before anesthesia induction, before intubation, after intubation immediately, before extubation and after extubation immediately. Parameters for respiratory mechanics included peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), plateau airway pressure (P_(plateau)), mean airway pressure (P_(mean)), positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), peak inspiratory flow (FI_(max)), peak expiratory flow (FE_(max)), and end tidal CO_2 (P_(Et)CO_2). All of the above indicators were recorded 5, 10 and 15 minutes after intubation. Meanwhile, arterial gas analysis was examined. Complications such as aspiration, coughing, pharyngeal pain, hoarseness, muscular soreness and unseal of FRLMA were followed up 24 hours after extubation. Results MAP and HR were significantly higher in group TI than those in group FRLMA after intubation and extubation (P<0.05). PIP, P_(plateau), P_(mean) and VD/VT were significantly higher in group TI than those in group FRLMA (P<0.05). Complications such as coughing, pharyngeal pain and muscular soreness were significantly lower in FRLMA group than that in TI group (P<0.05). Conclusions The application of FRLMA on functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a simply handling method, with minor laryngeal stimulation during intubation and extubation, more stable hemodynamics, reliable respiratory mechanics and low incidence of postoperative upper airway complications.

Currently,the incidence of breast cancer ranks first at home and abroad of female cancer and the age of onset tends to be younger.Due to the local changes of the tumor residual cavity after the breast conserving surgery,we can't accurately delineate the irradiation range using traditional breast conserving surgery combined with external irradiation of whole breast and tumor bed plus the amount,and the course of treatment is longer.Intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) can avoid the impact of respiratory motion and postural changes.Meanwhile,it can immediately irradiate the tumor bed intraoperative accurately.For patients,IORT can shorten the cycle of radiotherapy and reduce irradiation on the skin and subcutaneous tissue.So IORT is convenient,easy to be accepted,and it has relatively few complications,good cosmetic results and so on.In recent years,more and more Cancer Center choose breast conserving surgery combined with IORT for the treatment of early stage breast cancer and do researches to the indications,methods,dosage,efficacy and prognosis of IORT.

The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen ) and its effective composition, phenyl lactic acid (Danshensu )on the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Acute hypoxia was induced by replacing mixed gas 95%O2+ 5 %CO2 with 95%N2 + 5 %CO2. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction was diminished by injectic Danshen, Injectic Danshen compound and Danshensu with concentration dependently. Tile effect of Danshensu was the most,and Injectic Danshen Co was second by comparison. The results suggested that Danshen can antagonist HPV which was mainly produced by Danshensu, one of the effective composition of Danshen,and that more potent inhibitory action on HPV was by Injectio Danshen compound compared with Injectio Danshen,and this may be related to the addition of Dalbergia odorifera , the other composition of Injectic Danshen compound.
