Objective To investigate the effectiveness of hyperthermia of different degrees in killing tumor cells and its influence on Na+ -K+ -ATPase activities in erythrocytes. Methods Cultured low differentiated stomach gland tumor cells (SGC-170) and large intestine gland tumor cells (LOVO) (1?106?ml-1 each) were mixed with concentrated RBCs respectively and incubated in warm bath of 37℃ , 42℃, 43℃ , 45℃ or 47℃ for 40 min respectively. After hyperthermic treatment tumor cells were isolated from RBCs using density gradient centrifugation and the live tumor cells were counted by typan staining. The isolated tumor cells were then cultured and the clone formation of tumor cells was checked. The cultured tumor cells were marked with 5-bromo deoxyuridine and DNA metabolism was examined. The Na+ -K+ -ATPase activities in RBC after hyperthermic treatment were also determined. Results The amount of tumor cells was significantly decreased by 40 min hyperthermic treatment in a temperature-dependent manner from 42-471 as compared with the control group (37℃) (P

OBJECTIVE:To guide rational use of Heamocoagulase agkistrodon for injection,and to provide reference for phar-maceutical care. METHODS:Treatment methods and outcome of 9 cases of allergic shock induced by Heamocoagulase agkistrodon for injection were retrieved from CNKI and VIP database during 2009-2015,and then analyzed statistically,based on one case of allergic shock induced by Heamocoagulase agkistrodon for injection in the Affiliated Hospital of Zhunyi Medical College. RE-SULTS:10 pationts with allergic shock induced by Heamocoagulase agkistrodon for injection mainly used the drug for hemostasis before and after surgery,heavy menstrual bleeding,etc.,with dose of 1 or 2 U. Route of administration included intravenous injec-tion and intravenous dripping. Allergic shock often occurred within 30 min after medication. CONCLUSIONS:The use of Heamoco-agulase agkistrodon for injection in some patients belongs to off-label drug use,and route of administration is different from that stated in package inserts. Allergic shock induced by Heamocoagulase agkistrodon for injection occurs rapidly;the drug should be used strictly according to package inserts and authoritative literatures;emergency plan should be developed before medication in or-der to guarantee the safety of drug use.

Objective To investigate the outcomes of patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) under morphine-fentanyl combined anesthesia. MethodsSeventy-two patients aged 41-64 yr undergoing OPCABG were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 36 each): Ⅰ group morphine + fentanyl (group MF) and Ⅱ group fentanyl (group F). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, etomidate, and vecuronium.Fentanyl 10-20 μg/kg was given iv when needed. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintsined with inhalation of 0.5%-2.0% isoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium in both groups. Morphine 0.15 mg·kg-1·h-1 + fentanyl 8 μg·kg-1·h-1 were infused during operation in group MF, while in group F fentanyl 10 μg·kg-1·h-1 was infused. Morphine 0.75 mg/h was infused in group MF or fentanyl 10 μg/h in group F for postoperative analgesia after extubation. Recovery from anesthesia was assessed using a nine point (QoR) questionnaire. Pain was measured with VAS score and sedation with Ramsay sedation score ( 1 = fully awake, 6 = asleep, no response to verbal stimulus). The postoperative complications were recorded. ResultsQoR scores were significantly higher in group MF and in group F. The incidence of postoperative febrile reaction was significantly reduced in group MF. There was no significant difference in Ramsay sedation score and other postoperative complications between the 2 groups. ConclusionMorphine-fentanyl combined anesthesia is more beneficial for the prognosis in patients undergoing OPCABG compared with fentanyl combined anesthesia.
