Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of combined intravenous-inhaled anesthesia and caudal block in laparoscopy for neonates. Methods Forty patients aged 5 ～ 28 days(ASA Ⅰ～Ⅱ)were randomly assigned to two groups with 20 cases in each.Patients in the treatment group received intravenous-inhaled anesthesia combined with caudal block(0.8% lidocaine 8 mg/kg),the control group received intravenous-inhaled anesthesia.Vital sign profiles,airway pressure,blood gas analysis and adverse effects were recorded. Results The changes of SBP,DBP and HR in treatment group were lower than those of control group at T2 and T3.All markers at T2,T3 were higher than those of T1 in control group.Airway pressure and PaCO2 were lower than those of control group at T2 and T3.However,airway pressure and PaCO2 at T2,T3 were higher than those of T1 in control group. Conclusion Combined intravenous-inhaled anesthesia and caudal block was effective in laparoscopy for neonates.

Objective: To prepare the calcitonin oral microparticle. Methods: The oral delivery system of salmon calcitonin was made using diketopiperazine microparticles as carrier by the method of sole solifification. The parameters including the shape of microparticle,dissolving in vitro , the effect of reducing bleed calcium and bioavailability etc . were observed. Results: The diameter of the microparticles was 1 3 ?m, and the drug concentration was 0.42%. The rate of encapsulating was 91.1%. The drug did not release within 2 h in artificial gastric fluid and completely released in artificial intestinal fluid within 6 h. The microparticles had obvious effect of reducing bleed calcium 3 h after it was taken, the effect lasted for 12 h. Conclusion: The microparticles of salmon calcitonin release slowly and have better effects of reducing bleed calcium by oral delivery system.

Objective To explore the relationship between peripheral differential blood count and ATP value in Cell CD4 + T tested by ImmuKnow method in liver transplants. Methods In this study 49recipients after classic orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) were enrolled. In a period from two weeks to two months after transplantation when all were free of glucocorticoid. Blood were sent for WBC differential samples count and ATP value in Cell-CD4 + T tested by ImmuKnow method via SPSS17. 0 software. Five more samples were selected randomly for duplicated testing of the indices in Week2, 3, 4,6 and 8 after the transplanting operation to further verify the relativity. Results White blood cell count has the highest relativity with ImmuKnow ATP value at 0. 821. The 5 recipients were repeatedly tested for ImmuKnow ATP values that were found positively correlated to cell count with a coefficient of over 0. 5. Conclusions The peripheral leukocyte count in early stage after liver transplantation is in positive correlation with ATP value in Cell CD4 + T, and the changes of numeration of leukocyte reflect changes of ATP value.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of different priming dose of muscle relaxant at the onset and endotracheal intubation conditions.Methods120 ASA Ⅰ～Ⅱ grade patients were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=6),vecuronium group (V 1,V2,V3) and cis-atrscurium group (C1,C2,C3).All patients were induced with propofol plasma (TCI)3 μg/ml,fentanil3 μg/kg.The V1 and C1 group were not given priming dose,and the V2,V3,C2,C3 groups were given priming dose of 10 μg/kg,20 μg/kg vecuronium and 15 μg/kg,30 μg/kg cis-atracurium.Intubating conditions were evaluated,and the onset time was monitored with train-of-four (TOF) technique.ResultsIntubating conditions were excellent in all patients.The onset time of priming groups of the four different doses was significantly shorter than that of the nonpriming group [(80.5±7.2) vs (146±10.7);(79.8±6.5) vs (146±10.7);(138.5±7.2) vs (218±10.7) ; (127.1±6.5) vs (218±10.7),P ＜ 0.05 ].ConclusionsThe taking-effect time of priming dose of muscle relaxant was significantly shorter than that of the nonpriming dose group.Increasing the priming dose not decrease onset time more than the smaller dose.

Objective To explore the role of monitoring the cellular immune function in preventing and treating the fungal infection in the recipients of liver transplantation. Methods 679 cadaveric liver transplantations (from Jan. 2004 to Jan. 2010) were retrospectively studied. All the cases were divided into 3 groups according to different treatments and preventing regimens. The patients in groups A, B, C were treated based on the clinical experiences (394 cases), T lymphocyte subsets counting (151 cases), and combination of ATP values of CD4+ T cell and T lymphocyte subsets counting (134 cases), respectively. The infection, mortality and acute rejection rate were analyzed. The relationship between fungal infection and cellular immune function was investigated.Results The fungal infection rate in groups A, B, and C was 28. 9 %, 21.2 %, and 19. 4 % (P<0. 05), the morbidity rate was 16. 7 %, 12. 5%, and 3. 8% (P>0. 05), and the acute rejection rate was 28. 4 %, 17. 2 %, and 13. 4 % (P<0. 01), respectively. The CD4+ T lymphocyte counting in all cases of fungal infection was (147±43)×106/L. The morbidity could reach 50. 0 % when the CD4+ T lymphocyte counting < 100 ×106/L, while it was 2. 4 % when the counting was between (100-200) ×106/L (P<0. 01). The CD4+ T lymphocyte counting had no linear relation with the ATP value.The ATP value in fungal infection cases was (117 ± 61)μg/L. Conclusion The cellular immune function test could be quantitatively evaluated according to the T lymphocyte subsets and ATP value of CD4+ T lymphocyte. And individualized immunosuppressive therapy could be adjusted accordingly.Therefore, cellular immune function could be instructive in preventing and treating the fungal infection after liver transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of volume therapy with sodium acetate Ringer solution during the perioperative period in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS: The children who underwent elective surgery for cyanotic CHD admitted to Shanghai Children's Medical Center Affiliated to the Medical School of Shanghai Jiaotong University from September to December 2018 were divided into three groups according to random number table with the informed consent of their legal representatives. All of the children received volume therapy with infusion of sodium acetate Ringer solution intravenously upon anesthesia induction. The volume of infusion was calculated according to the "4-2-1" formula (group A, the rehydration volume was 4 mL×kg^-1×h^-1 for the first 10 kg body weight, 2 mL×kg^-1×h^-1 for the second 10 kg, and 1 mL×kg^-1×h^-1 for the third 10 kg and above), and the volume was increased by 50% or 100% in groups B and C, respectively. The intravenous infusion lasted for 30 minutes in all the three groups. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed before and 30 minutes after infusion to observe the acid-base status and electrolyte level. Pulse oxygen saturation (SpO₂), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) before and 10, 20, 30 minutes after infusion, central venous pressure (CVP) at 30 minutes after infusion were recorded, as well as adverse events occurred after infusion. RESULTS: Twenty-six children with cyanotic CHD, 17 male and 9 female, aged from 1 to 36 months, body weight 3.6 to 16.0 kg, and America Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) level of III or IV, were enrolled in the study. The pH value in group B at 30 minutes after infusion was significantly higher than that before infusion (7.35±0.05 vs. 7.32±0.06, P < 0.05), while no significant changes were found before and after infusion in the other two groups. The hematocrits (Hct) after infusion in three groups were significantly lower than those before infusion (0.433±0.141 vs. 0.473±0.146 in group A, 0.324±0.054 vs. 0.372±0.063 in group B, 0.363±0.097 vs. 0.418±0.111 in group C, all P < 0.01), indicating that all the children in the three groups achieved effective hemodilution. However, there was no significant difference in blood gas analysis before and after infusion among the three groups. The level of blood lactic acid (Lac) in all CHD children was decreased from (1.33±0.63) mmol/L to (0.98±0.36) mmol/L after infusion of sodium acetate Ringer solution, the serum Ca²⁺ concentration was decreased from (1.22±0.06) mmol/L to (1.19±0.06) mmol/L, and the serum Cl^- concentration was increased from (108.74±2.70) mmol/L to (109.77±2.54) mmol/L with the statistically significant differences (all P < 0.01). However, no significant difference was found in Lac or electrolyte levels before and after infusion among the three groups. There was no significant difference in vital signs before and after infusion among the three groups, but the period of infusion had an effect on SpO₂ (F = 5.998, P < 0.01), HR (F = 34.279, P < 0.01) and SBP (F = 4.345, P < 0.05). HR in groups A and C were significantly lower than those before infusion, and SBP in group A was decreased gradually with the prolongation of infusion time. The CVP value at 30 minutes after infusion in group B was higher than that in group A. No adverse reactions such as rash or anaphylactic shock occurred after infusion of sodium acetate Ringer solution in all children. CONCLUSIONS The perioperative volume therapy with sodium acetate Ringer solution in children with cyanotic CHD can effectively prevent the increase in Lac level and does not aggravate metabolic acidosis. The volume of infusion was well tolerated by all the children without disturbing the hemodynamic parameters.

Objective To study the effect and mechanisms of TW-37 on cell proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and angiogenesis in pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and further explore the potential mechanism.Methods BxPC3 and HPAC cells were pretreated with TW-37 using untransfected or transfected with NF-κB p65 cDNA(p65 cDNA)or NF-κB p65 siRNA(siRNA-p65)cells as controls.Cell viability was determined by MrTT assay.Cell apoptosis was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Cell invasion and angiogenesis was detected by Transwell and endothelial tube formation assay of HUVECs.ELISA assay was used to measure the activity of NF-κB,and its target proteins of MMP-9 and VEGF were detected by western blot.Results TW-37 suppressed cell growth and induced apoptosis (A405:1.29 ± 0.21 vs 0.09 ± 0.01,1.07 s0.18 vs 0.08 ± 0.01),inhibited NF-κB activity and protein expression of NF-κB p65,VEGF and MMP-9(all P ＜0.05)in a dose-and time-dependent manner.The number of cells that invaded across the matrigel in the transwell chamber was (46.7 ±5.24) and (10.3 ± 1.26)/×200 in BxPC3 control and 0.75 μmol/L TW-37 group (P=0.001).The number of tube formation was (39.4 ±4.36) and (7.84 ± 1.25)/×200,(P =0.001).NF-κB activity was increased by p65 cDNA transfection,and decreased by TW-37 treatment in both of the two cell lines (P ＜0.05).However,NF-κB activity was decreased by p65 siRNA transfection,and greatly decreased by TW-37 treatment in both two cell lines (P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01).Transfection of p65 cDNA did not significantly affect cell apoptosis.Transfection of p65 siRNA increased cell apoptosis,and greatly increased by TW-37 treatment in both two cell lines (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions TW-37 could inhibit the proliferation,invasion and angiogenesis in pancreatic cancer cells by regulating NF-κB signal pathway.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the electronic anti-nausea instrument on the postoperative nausea and vomiting of patients with gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods One hundred and eighty patients for gynecological laparoscopic surgery were enrolled and randomized into 2 groups with 90 patients in each.Patients in group T accepted patient-control transcutaneous elec-troacupoint stimulation at P6 (Neiguan)point from the time before the induction of anesthesia to 24 h after surgery.Patients in group C accepted the same device of electronic anti-nausea instrument with-out transcutaneous acupoint stimulation.Data were recorded of the nausea and vomiting in postopera-tive 2,6,12 and 24 h respectively.Results The incidence and severity of nausea at 6,12 and 24 h and vomiting at 6,24 h after operation in group T were both lower than those in group C(P < 0.05 ). Conclusion With patient-control transcutaneous acupoint stimulation at P6 point,the incidence of both early PONV and late PONV are reduced in patients with gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
