Objective　To study the value of comprehensive examination of visual electrophysiology in prognosis of visual function after cataract operation.Methods　315 patients with cataract(408 eyes) underwent preoperative routine examination with pattern reversal visual evoked potential(PVEP), red and blue flicker electroretinogram(ERG) and oscillatory potential (OPs). Normal control group included 162 cases (266 eyes). All of the ocular fundi were examined postoperatively and corrected visual acuities were obtained 3 months after operation. Results　Postoperative corrected visions ≥0.5(Ⅰ) and ＜0.5(Ⅱ) in case group compared with that in control group, amplitudes of PVEP P100-wave decreased significantly and PVEP P100-wave latency times prolonged significantly in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ. There was much more prominent changes in P100-wave of group Ⅱ due to other factors influencing visual function. There wasn't significant difference of the amplitudes and the latency times of a-wave and b-wave of Red-Blue ERG in group Ⅰ and the control group preoperatively. The amplitudes of a-wave and b-wave of Red ERG decreased, the latency times of a-wave and b-wave of Red ERG prolonged, the amplitudes of a-wave and b-wave of Blue ERG decreased but latency times didn' t prolong in group Ⅱ. The value of OPs decreased in groupⅡ compared with that of the control group, which was related to the retinopathy due to blood circulation obstruction.Conclusion　Combined examination of visual electrophysiology can estimate visual function thoroughly. The prognosis will be good if various examinations are normal before operation, but will not be good if PVEP P100 latency time prolong, the amplitudes of a-wave and b-wave of Red ERG decrease and the latency time prolong, the amplitudes of a-wave and b-wave of Blue ERG decrease and the value of OPs decrease.

Objective To compare the EC50 of Propofol for inhibiting intubation response. Methods 80 cases un-derwent tracheal intubation general anesthesia, all patients were randomly divided into two groups. The general situ-ation between the two groups showed no significant difference. Except for Propofol, other anesthesia drugs infusion method and dosage were the same. Sequential determination the EC50 of Propofol which for inhibiting intubation re-sponse of each groups by up-and-down. Propofol target concentration of the first patient was set to 4 μg/ml, and ad-justed according to intubation stress response disappeared or not, concentration of two adjacent patients with ratio of 1.2.

Pk of NI on awakening period of eye opening and directional force recovery of the two groups were higher than 0.5; and Pk of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.01) . Regression equation predicted that ED95 was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group ( P<0.01) , while the ED50 between the two groups has no significant difference ( P>0.05) . Conclusion The accuracy of closed loop muscle relaxant injection system is higher than that of the traditional method, it provides better muscle relaxation effect for tracheal intubation, reduces recovery time, increases the Pk of NI on patient awakening.

Objective To determine the EC50 of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride ( DEX) which causes disappearance of explicit memory by process dissociation procedure (PDP). Methods Forty patients those who had senior middle school or higher educational background undergoing lower extremity surgery with grade ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, without hearing impairment, dysphasia,nervous system disorders,and having no drugs in the treatment of the central nervous system were included.PDP was applied to establish study table and record, and calculate performance of explicit memory and implicit memory. Memory performance was statistically compared with 0, 0 memory was considered to be statistically significant and disappearance, respectively.Sequential method was used for determination.According to explicit memory disappearance or not,target concentration of the next patient was adjusted (increase or decrease).DEX target concentration of the first patient was set to 4 ng?mL-1,and the ratio of target concentration between the adjacent patients was 1.2.If the explicit memory of the former patient disappeared,the target concentration of the next patient was decreased by 1 concentration gradient;if the explicit memory of the former patient did not disappear,the target concentration of the next patient was increased by 1 concentration gradient, and so forth. All the 40 patients were determined.The median effective dose (D1) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of DEX were calculated. Results The ED50 of DEX causing explicit memory disappearance was 5.23 ng?mL-1,and the 95% CI was 4.07-6.39 ng?mL-1. Conclusion In clinical,target concentration of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride 5.23 ng?mL-1 levels for sedation,can cause half of patients’ explicit memory disappear,so as to avoid intraoperative awareness.

Objective To explore the electrophysiological charaterstics of upper extremities nerves on the patients with Hirayama disease (HD),amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),and distal cervical spondylotic amyotrophy (DCSA).Methods The data of electrophysiological examination of the upper limbs of 87 patients with HD,83 with ALS and 28 with DCSA were reviewed retrospectively.Seventy-two patients with HD among 87 had unilateral upper limb's amyotrophy and the other 15 ones had bilateral amyotrophy.There were 30 patients had unilater upper limb's amyotrophy and 53 ones had bilateral amyotrophy from the group of patients with ALS; 20 patients with DSCA were affected unilaterally and 8 ones were bilaterally affected.Results Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) evoked by ulnar stimulation had a lower ampititude compared with that evoked by median stimulation in HD patients.In ALS cases that was just the opposite.However,the CMAPs were similar in DCSA cases.The mean ratio of CMAP amplitude by ulnar stimulation to by median stimulation was 0.58±0.40 in HD group; 2.28±1.25 in ALS and 1.31±0.63 in DCSA.The differences in the three groups were statistical significance.The U/M CMAP ratio was less than 0.6in 62 patients with HD,3 with ALS and 1 with DCSA,and more than 1.7 in 73 cases (57 ALS,12 HD and 4 DCSA).Conduction velocities (CV) of the sensory and motor nerves,the amplitude of the sensory nerve action potential in bilateral limbs,and the CMAP amplitude of the unaffected limb were normal in all cases.Conclusion This study could concluded that the severity of amyotropy in hypothenar mucles were higher than that in thenal muscles in patients with HD; there was just opposite in ALS cases and similar in DSCA.

The Da-jvO2 and CERO2 of group B and C werenot significantly different (P > 0.05); NI value of group A in T1-3 was significantly higher thangroup B (P < 0.05), while. NI value of group B in T1-3 was significantly higher thangroup C (P < 0.05). Conclusion Propofol TCI 4 μg/mL, can improve cerebral oxygen metabolism of elder patients and decrease CERO2.

Objective To observe the effect of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) on prevention of bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS). Methods Ten sheep were divided into 2 even groups, BCIS and LVCF intervention ones. First IVCF was implanted into the inferior vena cava through cervical vena-right atrium pathway under fluoroscopic monitoring to observe the influence of IVCF on BCIS. Then BCIS was es-tablished in the same sheep by compressing 10 mL of bone cement into a sheep medullary canal after mutilation of the left femur. Arterial blood pressure, heart rate, central venous pressure (CVP) and blood gas were monitored, while an ultrasonic device was utilized to monitor fat embolisms in the right atriums of the sheep. Oil red staining was performed to detect fat embolisms in pulmonary arteries after the sheep were executed. Results In BCIS group, dotted uneven resonances were found in the right atrium and right ventricle when the medullary canal pressure was increased to 120 mm Hg, indicating embolisms in the right chambers. The dotted resonances were increased to ponderous, snowflake-like ones as the medullary canal pressure climbed up. At the same time, blood pressure and Pa02 dropped significantly, the systolic blood pressure dropped to (80±11) mm Hg and PaO<.2> to the minimum 25 minutes after cone cement implantation. The heart rate and CVP increased continuously. The blood gas assay indicated respiratory and metabolic acidosis. The oil red staining showed bulk fat embolus in pulmonary arteries. But in IVCF group, the similar resonances were not observed throughout the surgery and the medullary canal pressure climbed to 400 mm Hg, reaching the maximum of our pressure gage range. The blood pressure, PaO2, heart rate and CVP did not change much compared to those before implantation. The blood gas and pulmonary oil red staining showed few changes either. Conclusion IVCF implantation can prevent the genesis of BCIS.

OBJECTIVE: To measure anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), combined with ACL half quantitative measurement magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method as the contrast, and to preliminarily investigate the feasibility of DTI for ACL. METHODS: The ACLs of 31 healthy volunteers were scanned with ordinary MRI and DTI. At ordinary MRI map, sagittal ACL-tibial angle, coronal ACL-tibial angle, Blumensaat line-ACL angle, angle of inclination of the intercondylar roof, and ACL-tibial insertion site were measured. As for DTI analysis of ACL, ACL was divide to 5 portions, namely 1(st), 2(nd), 3(rd), 4(th), 5(th), and all fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of every portion were recorded and repeated. RESULTS: The sagittal ACL-tibial angle, coronal ACL-tibial angle, Blumensaat line-ACL angle, angle of inclination of the intercondylar roof, and ACL-tibial insertion site were 53.00°±2.46°, 52.42°±5.15°, 12.67°±5.71°, 39.41°±2.64°, (24.90±2.84)%, respectively. FA values of different portions were 0.611±0.042, 0. 618±0.051, 0.596±0.045, 0.566±0.059, and 0.497±0.072. ADC values of 1(st)-5(th) portion were (1.068±0.216), (1.128±0.268), (1.189±0.197), (1.455±0.423), and (1.779±0.384)× 10(-3) mm(2)/s. The correlation coefficient of sagittal ACL-tibial angle and the FA value of 2(nd) and 3(rd) portion was -0.568 and -0.429. The correlation coefficient of Blumensaat line-ACL angle and the FA value of 1(st) and 4(th) portion was -0.507 and -0.633. The correlation coefficient of ACL-tibial insertion site and the FA value of 4(th) portion was -0.593, all with statistical significance. FA and ADC values of all portions in both team's ACL didn't have significant difference (P>0.05), but had obvious correlation. CONCLUSION DTI can be used to effectively evaluate the orientation and connection of ACL, having good contrast virtue with ACL half quantitative MRI measurement. It may provide more profound ACL information for clinicians, and it is of great significance for the further research and large sample data base of ACL pathology.
