Objective To investigate the effects of different depths of sedation during combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-64 yr,with a body mass index of 19-30 kg/m2,scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic operation,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =30 each).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,propofol and rocuronium.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane (end-tidal concentration 1.0%-1.5 %),iv infusion of remifentanil and intermittent iv boluses of rocuronium.The infusion rate of remifentanil was adjusted to maintain BIS value:30 < BIS value ≤ 40 in group Ⅰ,40 BIS value ≤ 50 in group Ⅱ and 50 < BIS value≤60 in group Ⅲ.Cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and TrailMaking Test (TMT) at 1 d before anesthesia and 1 d after surgery.Results MMSE scores were > 24 at 1 d before anesthesia and 1 d after surgery in all the three groups,and there was no significant difference within each group and among the three groups (P > 0.05).Compared with the baseline value,TMT completion time was significantly prolonged at 1 d after surgery in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ,while shortened in group Ⅱ (P < 0.05).Compared with groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ,TMT completion time was significantly shortened at 1 d after surgery in group Ⅱ (P <0.05).Conclusion The depth of sedation,40 < BIS value ≤ 50,during combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane and remifentanil has less influence on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Purpose To investigate the clinical value of gated myocardial perfusion imaging (GMPI) quantitative analysis technique in evaluating left ventricular remodeling and its effects on left ventricular function in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Materials and Methods Seventy-six cases of MI patients were retrospectively analyzed, including pure left anterior descending artery (LAD) disease in 21 cases , left circumlfex artery (LCX) or right coronary branch (RCA) disease in 23 patients and multivessel disease in 32 cases. Seventy-four healthy people were additionally selected as control group. GMPI was performed on all subjects. Reconstruction images were automatically analyzed by using cardiac software QGS 2009 to obtain left ventricular remodeling index, including diastolic sphericity index (SIED) and end-systolic sphericity index (SIES). Cardiac function parameters were also obtained, including left ventricular end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and peak iflling rate (PFR). Differences of the left ventricular remodeling index and cardiac function parameters between the MI group and the control group were compared to analyze the relationship between left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction and coronary artery lesions. Results SIED, SIES and EDV, ESV in MI group were signiifcantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0.01). The cardiac function parameters of LVEF and PFR were significantly lower than those of the normal group (P<0.01). SIED and SIES in the group of LAD lesions and multi-vessel disease were signiifcantly higher than those in the LCX/RCA lesion group (P<0.05). The left ventricular remodeling was occurred more often in LAD lesion group and multi-vessel disease group than in the LCX/RCA lesion group (χ2=6.502 and 10.166, P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the LAD lesions group and multi-vessel disease group (χ2=0.105, P>0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that LVEF and PFR in group of left ventricular remodeling was signiifcantly lower with the increase of SIED (F=43.231 and 15.642, P<0.01). SIED and SIES analysis resulted in high correlation for both intra-observer and inter-observer (r=0.881-0.926, P<0.01). Conclusion Left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction can be accurately evaluated by GMPI. Patients with myocardial infarction due to LAD or multi-vessel coronary artery diseases may have left ventricular remodeling easier and more severe. Left ventricular remodeling will seriously affect the myocardial contraction and diastolic function, resulting in the entire left ventricular dysfunction.

Purpose The one-step examination of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) combined with coronary artery calcium score (CACS) can obtain both coronary functional information and anatomical information simultaneously, this paper aims to evaluate the value of the one-step examination of MPI combined with CACS for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials and Methods 188 cases who underwent one-step examination of MPI combined with CACS and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) because of chest tightness, chest pain with suspected coronary artery disease were analyzed retrospectively, with the results of ICA used asgold standard, the diagnostic efficacy of MPI, CACS and one-step examination with combination of the two techniques for CAD was investigated. Results ①Pre-test probability of CAD was intermediate in 79.8%(150/188), and high in 20.2%(38/188) cases. Seventy-three cases were confirmed as CAD and 115 of 188 patients were negative according to ICA.②The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for the diagnosis of CAD by MPI were 65.8%, 75.7%, 71.8%, 63.1%and 77.7%, respectively. ③ The CACS of CAD group was significantly higher than the non-CAD group (494.96±99.60 vs. 38.15±16.03, P<0.05). According to the features of the ROC curve, the best threshold for the diagnosis of CAD with CACS was 96.45, with CACS≥96.45 as the positive standard in diagnosis of CAD, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV for the diagnosis of CAD by CACS were 60.3%, 93.9%, 80.8%, 86.3%and 78.8%, respectively. ④ The sensitivity of MPI combined with CACS were significantly higher than MPI (80.8% vs. 65.8%, P<0.05), while the specificity (71.3% vs.75.7%, P>0.05) and accuracy (75.0% vs. 71.8%, P>0.05) showed no statistically significant difference; the sensitivity of MPI combined with CACS were significantly higher than CACS (80.8%vs. 60.3%, P<0.05), while the specificity was lower than CACS (71.3%vs. 93.9%, P<0.05) and the accuracy showed no statistically significant difference (75.0%vs. 80.8%, P>0.05). Conclusion The one-step examination of MPI combined with CACS can reduce coronary heart disease misdiagnosis, improve the diagnostic sensitivity of CAD compared with the MPI or CACS, with high application value for the diagnosis of CAD, especially in moderate risk groups.

OBJECTIVETo assess the left ventricular (LV) systolic synchrony by phase analysis of gated myocardial perfusion imaging (GMPI) with SPECT/CT in patients with old myocardial infarction (OMI) and further to identify independent predictors for LV dyssynchrony.
METHODSSeventy-six OMI patients and seventy-four healthy volunteers (control group) underwent resting GMPI from October 2010 to September 2013 in our hospital were included in this study. The left ventricular systolic synchrony parameters including phase histogram bandwidth (BW) and phase standard deviation (SD) were obtained by Cedars-Sinai quantitative gated SPECT (QGS) phase analysis technique, and LV cardiac function was also measured. The extent of myocardial perfusion defect was analyzed by the Quantitative Perfusion SPECT (QPS) software. The value of BW and SD were compared between OMI and the control groups, between LVEF ≤ 35% and LVEF > 35% groups in OMI patients. Dyssynchrony was defined when the BW exceeded the abnormality threshold derived from a normal control group (threshold = x ± 2s for normal BW).
RESULTS(1) The BW ((91.3 ± 58.6)° vs. (37.2 ± 11.7)°) and SD ((27.3 ± 20.8)° vs. (11.8 ± 5.4)°) were significantly higher and the LVEF was significantly lower in OMI group than in the normal control group (all P < 0.01). In addition, BW ((136.0 ± 52.9)° vs. (51.0 ± 24.0)°) and SD ((38.7 ± 21.3)° vs. (17.1 ± 14.0)°) were significantly higher in patients with LVEF ≤ 35% than in patients with LVEF > 35% (all P < 0.001). (2) Dyssynchrony (BW > 60.6°) prevalence was 57.9% (44/76) in OMI patients. Compared with the synchrony group, LVEF was significantly lower, while the left ventricular end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, summed motion score, summed thickening score and extent were significantly higher in dyssynchrony group (all P < 0.001). (3) Additionally, dyssynchrony prevalence was significantly higher in patients with LVEF ≤ 35% compared with patients with LVEF > 35% (91.7% (33/36) vs. 27.5% (11/40), P < 0.001). (4) Pearson correlation analysis showed that LVEF was negatively correlated with BW (r = -0.807, P < 0.001). (5) Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the extent of myocardial perfusion defect was an independent predictor for dyssynchrony in OMI patients (OR = 1.076, 95% CI: 1.015-1.141, P = 0.015).
CONCLUSIONSGMPI phase analysis can reliably reflect left ventricular systolic synchrony. The left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony in OMI patients is significantly increased. Left ventricular dyssynchrony is closely related to LVEF. The extent of myocardial perfusion defect (Extent) is an independent predictor for left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony in OMI patients.

Triclosan, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, was reported to have been widely detected in various human biological samples such as urine, blood and human milk among foreign populations. In China, limited reports have been found on human exposure to triclosan, and the reported urinary triclosan concentrations were significantly lower than that of American populations. Besides, the potential influencing factors still remain unclear regarding human exposure to triclosan, but evidences suggest that those in middle age and with higher household income and higher social class tend to have higher urinary triclosan concentrations. Furthermore, triclosan exposure tend to differ by sex, geography, heredity, metabolism and life style.
