Objective To investigate the effect of ethanol using by neurolytic celiac plexus block(NCPB)on the Bispectral index(BIS)during anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil.Methods Thirty-six patients,ASA Ⅰ～Ⅲ,undergoing pancreatic cancer surgery were studied.Patients were maintained with propofol(6～9mg·kg～·h-1)and remifentanil(0.1～0.3μg·kg～·min-1)to keep the BIS between 38 and 50.After 30minutes of stable anesthesia,patients in control group were treated with NCPB by 0.9%NS 30ml,while patients in ethanol group were employed NCPB at the same time by 75%ethanol 30m1.BIS values,mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR)were recorded 5minutes before the injection and one,five,fifteen,twenty five,thirty five,forty five minutes after that.Results Therewas no significant change in BIS,emodynamic variables compared to preinjection values in the control group.15min to 45min after injection of four point,BIS values and MAP of ethanol group decreased significantly,as compared with before injection,the same time point compared with the control group had statistically significant difference(P＜0.001).No significant changes in HR were observed throughout the observation.Conclusion Ethanol used in the operation of NCPB was additive to the anesthesia depth during the anesthesia of propofol and remifentanil.

Objective To investigate the effect of parecoxib on hippocampal inflammation following partial hepatectomy in rats.Methods 72 SPF male healthy SD rats were selected and randomly divided into four groups:control group(group C),anesthesia group(group A),operation group(group S),parecoxib group (group P ), each had 18 rats.Using partial hepatectomy operation trauma to establish animal model of hippocampal inflammation.Rats were sacrificed 1,3,7 days after anesthesia,the expression of inflammatory mediators in hippocampal tissue were detected.The expression of cyclooxygenase -2(COX-2)mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR,and COX-2 and cysteine proteinase -3(Caspase-3)protein expression were detected by Western blot,the prostaglandin E2(PGE2)content were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results Compared with control group,COX-2 expression(protein and mRNA),PGE2 production and Caspase-3 protein expression in group A had no significant difference.In group S and P,COX-2 expression,PGE2 and Caspase-3 protein expression increased significantly on 1st day postoperatively to 3rd day (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and they were obvious especially in the postoperative 1st day(P<0.01).The above inflammation index expression returned to normal in 7th days after operation.Compared with group S,COX-2 expression,PGE2 and Caspase-3 protein expression increased significantly on 1st day postoperatively to 3rd day(P <0.05 or P <0.01 ).Conclusion Partial hepatectomy could induce hippocampal inflammatory response in the rats.Parecoxib could suppress the hippocampal inflammation via the down-regulation expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein,PGE2 and Caspase-3 protein in rats.
