Twenty-eight children with laryngeal papilloma aged 10 months -3.5 yr weighing 8-15 kg received CO2 laser treatment under serf-retaining laryngoscope from May 2003 to May 2007. There were 17 patients without laryngeal obstruction, 7 patients with 1st degree laryngeal obstruction and 4 patients with 2rid or 3rd degree laryngeal obstruction. Different techniques of anesthesia were used for patients with different degrees of laryngeal obstruction. In patients without laryngeal obstruction anesthesia was induced with intramuscular ketamine 5 mg/kg. After the patients lost consciousness midazolam 0.1 mg/kg, ketamine 1-2 mg/kg or fentanyl 2 μg/kg was given iv. Tracheal intubation was facilitated with succinyl-cboline 1.5 mg/kg. In patients with 1st degree laryngeal obstruction, ketamine 5 mg/kg was given ira. The patients kept spontaneous breathing. Tracheal intubaiion was pedormed under topical anesthesia with 1% tetracaine. In patients with 2nd and 3rd degree laryngeal obstruction tracheal intubation was performed awake without any premedication under topical anesthesia with 1% tetracaine. The trachea was intubated with the tracheal tube 1 size smaller than the regular size. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol 3-5 mg·kg1·h-1 and intermittent iv boluses of ketamine 1-2 mg/kg and vecuronium 0.05-0. 1 mg/ kg. Dexamethasone 0.2-0.3 mg/kg was given iv at the end of operation. The patients were extubated when the patients regained consciousness and SpO2≥ 96% on air. In one patient with Ist degree laryngeal obstruction emergency tracheotomy was performed during induction of anesthesia. Anesthesia was otherwise smooth and recovery was uneventful.

Objective This study is to investigate the protective effect of creatine phosphate so-dium on circulatory function in unilateral total knee replacement surgery using bone cement implanta-tion.Methods Forty patients undergoing unilateral total knee replacement surgery with bone cement were randomly assigned into 2 groups:test group (group CP,n=20)and control group (group NS, n=20).The easophageal doppler ultrasound probe was placed at the level of the third rib transorally after induction in each patient.In group CP,creatine phosphate sodium (2 g in 100 ml normal saline) was infused (within 30 min)at 30 min before the operation,as well as normal saline 100 ml in group NS.SBP,DBP,HR,SpO2 ,PET CO2 and BIS were monitored and recorded before (T0 )and 1 (T1 ),3 (T2 ),5 (T3 ),10 (T4 )min after insertion of bone cement.Cardiac output (CO),stroke volume (SV)and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV)were simultaneously monitored and recorded with esophageal doppler ultrasound.WhileⅡ-lead electrocardiogram were recorded to monitor ven-tricular arrhythmia perioperatively.Results SBP,DBP and HR decreased at T2 and T3 in group NS, and were lower than those in group CP (P <0.05 );Meanwhile,compared with group CP,CO and SV were significantly lower,while LVEDV was significantly higher in group NS (P <0.05 ).Com-pared with T0 ,CO and SV decreased and LVEDV increased at T2 and T3 in group NS (P <0.05 ). After insertion of bone cement,the incidence of arrhythmia in group CP was obviously lower than that in group NS (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Pretreatment with creatine phosphate sodium can effectively prevent the incidence of bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS)by stabilizing hemodynamic in elderly patients undergoing total knee replacement with bone cement.

Objective To investigate the effects of methylprednisolone on lung function and inflammation during one-lung ventilation in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy.Methods Sixty patients (46 males, 10 females, aged 18-60 years, ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ) scheduled for pulmonary lobectomy were randomly divided into two groups (n=30 each) using a random number table: the control group (group C) and the methylprednisolone group (group M).Patients in group M were treated with methylprednisolone before induction of anesthesia within 30 min, whereas patients in group G received equal volume of normal saline at the same time.The heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), peak airway pressure (Ppeak), plateau airway pressure (Pplat), and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were recorded at the momment before OLV (T1), 30 min after OLV (T2), 1 h after OLV (T3), 10 min after resuming two-lung ventilation (T4) and the end of the surgery (T5).The arterial blood gas analysis were performed at the above time points in order to determined the oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) and carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2), then the oxygenation index (OI), alveolar to arterial difference of oxygen tension (A-aDO2) and respiratory index (RI) of each patient was evaluated.The concentration of serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 were determined by ELISA at T0, T4, 6 h (T5) and 24 h (T6) after surgery using venous blood samples.The incidence of pulmonary complications at 72 h after operation were also recorded.Results Compared with T0, the MAP and Cdyn was decreased, whereas the Ppeak and Pplat was increased significantly in both group at T1, T2 (P＜0.05), the OI was decreased and the A-aDO2, RI was increased significantly at T1-T4 (P＜0.05), and the concentration of serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 at T4-T6 was increased significantly in both group (P＜0.05).Compared with group C, the Cdyn was increased, the Ppeak and Pplat were decreased significantly in group G at T1, T2 (P＜0.05), the concentration of serum TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased, and IL-10 was increased significantly in group G at T4-T6 (P＜0.05).The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications had no statistically signifcant differences between the two groups.Conclusion Methylprednisolone can significantly improve the pneumodynamics and lung compliance, alleviates the inflammatory responses, but have no significant effect on intrapulmonary oxygenation and gas exchange during one-lung ventilationin patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of creatine phosphate pretreatment on circulato ry function in prone position in elder patients with general anesthesia.Methods Forty patients in ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ of male and female,aged 60 to 75 years undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotripsy in prone position,were randomly divided into two groups (n =20 each):the control group (gToup N) and the creatine phosphate group (group P).In the group P,creatine phosphate sodium (30 mg·kg-1 in 50 mL normal saline) was continuous infused at a speed of 100 mL· h-1,while only normal saline 50 mL in the group N at the same time.HR,MAP,CO,SV,CVP,Pulse Pressure Variation (PVV) and Systemic Circulation Resistance (SVR) were monitored and recorded at 1 min before prone position (T0) and 1 min (T1),3 min (T2),5 min (T3),10 min (T4) after prone position.The requirement for vasoactive agents were also recorded.Results Compared with T0,HR began to increase significantly at T1 in the group N(P ＜ 0.05),while MAP,CO and SV began to decrease at T1 to T3,and CVP,PVV and SVR began to increase significantly at the same time in the group N (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the group N,MAP,CO and SV were decreased,PPV,CVP and SVR were increased significantly at T1 to T2 in the group P (P ＜ 0.05).The requirement for vasoactive agents in the group P was obviously lower than that in the group N (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Creatine phosphate pretreatment can stabilize the hemodynamic change effectively,and prevent the adverse cardiovascular events caused by prone position in elder patients with general anesthesia.

Objective To observe the hemodynamic change and stress reaction of target-con-trolled infusion (TCI)of propofol guided by Narcotrend for anesthetic induction in renal transplanta-tion patients.Methods Forty patients (25 males,1 5 females,aged 21-38 years,ASA grade Ⅲ orⅣ)undergoing related living donor kidney transplantation were randomly divided into two groups:group A and group B (n =20).Group A was induced using TCI system with propofol under the moni-toring of Narcotrend.Group B was induced with propofol manually.HR,MAP,Narcotrend index (NTI),blood glucose (Glu)and plasma cortisol (Cor)were measured before induction (T0 ),before tracheal intubation (T1 ),and 1 (T2 ),3 (T3 ),and 5 (T4 )minutes afterwards.Results HR and MAP at T1 were lower than those at T0 (P < 0.05 )in two groups,they were significantly lower in group B than in group A at corresponding points(P <0.05).HR and MAP in group B increased sig-nificantly (P <0.05)and were significantly higher than those in group A (P <0.05)at T2 and T3 . There was no obvious difference in Glu and Cor between T0 and T2-T4 in group A.Glu and Cor at T2-T4 were obviously higher than those at T0 (P <0.05)in group B and those at corresponding points in group A (P <0.05).Conclusion TCI of propofol guided by Narcotrend in renal transplantation pa-tients can better control the depth of anesthesia,attenuate the stress reaction caused by tracheal intu-bation,and keep hemodynamic smooth during anesthesia induction.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the changes in intracranial excitatory amino acid(EAA) levels and the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in eldedy patients after general anesthesia. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients of both sexes aged 65-79 yr weighing 48-76 kg undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia were studied.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,etomidate and succinylcholine and maintained with continuous iv infusion of propofol,remifentanil,isoflurane inhalation and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium.The right internal jugular vein was cannulated with a catheter which was advanced cephalad until jugular bulb.The jugular bulb venous blood samples were taken before (T0,baseline),at the end of (T1) and at 24,48 and 72h(T2-4) after operation for measurement of plasma concentrations of glutamate (Glu),aspartate (Asp) and glycine (Gly) by RP-HPLC.The cognitive function was evaluated by mini-mental state examination (MMSE) at T0 and T4.Results Eleven of the 40 patients developed POCD (28%).The plasma Gh,Asp and Gly concentrations were significantly increased after operation as compared with the baseline values in POCD patients and were significantly higher than in non-POCD patients.The plasma concentrations of Glu and Asp were negatively correlated with MMSE score(Glu:r=-0.86.P<0.01;Asp:r=-0.99,P<0.01).Conclusion Elderly patients may develop POCD after operation performed under general anesthesia through increase in intracranial EAA levels.

Objective To investigate the value of Periodically Rotated Overlapping Parallel Lines Enhanced Reconstruction (PROPELLER) in omitting the motion and susceptibility artifacts in head MRI. Methods Thirty nine cases of restless patients and eighteen cases with fixed metal artificial tooth underwent head MRI using T2WI or DWI with PROPELLER during April and Nov. in 2006 were analyzed respectively. The PROPELLER images and common MRI images were compared. Results The common images of 39 restless patients were not suitable to diagnosis because of moving artifact and pure imaging quality, while the PROPELLER T2WI images eliminate the artifact obviously and display the lesion clearly. Susceptibility artifacts were found in 18 patients with artificial tooth in common MRI images, and the artifacts were almost not found in PROPELLER DWI images and so satisfied the need of diagnoses. Conclusion PROPELLER T2WI and DWI can remove significantly the motion and susceptibility artifacts, and so acquire images of high resolution, low artifacts, and high quality to satisfy the need of diagnoses.

Objective To evaluate the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy on postoperative rehabili-tation in elderly patients undergoing surgery in the prone position.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 60-75 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physieal status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for elective lumbar surgery in the prone position under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:conventional fluid therapy group (group C) and goal-directed fluid therapy group (group G).The CNAP system was used to monitor stroke volume variation and cardiac index continuously in group G.Mean arterial pressure was maintained at 60-110 mmHg,central venous pressure at 6-12 emH2O and urine volume more than 0.5 ml · kg-1 · h 1 using conventional fluid therapy in group C.In group G,goal-directed fluid therapy was performed under the guidance of stroke volume variation,and cardiac index was maintained at 2.5-4.0 L · min-1 · m 2.The requirement for crystalloid and colloid solution,total volume of fluid infu sed,blood loss,urine volume and requirement for vasoaetive agents were recorded during operation.After anesthesia induction,at 1 h after turning to the prone position and at the end of operation,blood samples were collected fromn the left radial artery for blood gas analysis,and the blood lactate concentration was recorded.The volume of drainage within 3 dlays after operation,perioperative blood transfusion,early postoperative cardiovascular and pulmonary complications,development of oliguria and anuria,emergence time and length of hospital stay were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the requirement for crystalloid solution,total volume of fluid infused,urine volume and requirement for vasoactive agents were significantly decreased during operation,the requirement for colloid solution was increased during operation,the blood lactate concentration was decreased at 1 h after turning to the prone position and at the end of operation,the length of hospital stay was shortened,and the incidence of postoperative cardiovascular and pulnonary eomplications was decreased in group G (P＜0.05).Conclusion Goal-directed fluid therapy can promote postoperative rehabilitation and shows a certain clinical value in elderly patients undergoing surgery in the prone position.
