Objective To observe the effects of shenfu injection (SFI) on the awakening quality of the patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis undergoing splenectomy under general anethesia. Methods Forty patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and hepatic insufficiency (ASA classⅡ~Ⅲ) underwent splenectomy by general anesthesia. Patients were all sent into the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) shortly after the operation with unconscious and no spontaneously breathing. They were randomly divided into two groups: SFI treatment group (Group SFI, n =20) and normal saline controlled group (Group NSC, n = 20). SFI group were treated with SFI (1 mL/kg, i. v.) in 10 minutes, and NSC group were treated with normal saline (1 mL/kg,i.v.). The time of eyes opening, extubation of tracheal catheter and the detention time of PACU were recorded. The heart rate (HR) and the average artery presses (MAP) were monitored at 4 time points: before SFI and normal saline administration, 5 min, 15 min, and 45 min after administration. The incidence of restlessness during the patients awakening period was also recorded. Results The time of eyes opening, extubation and the detention time of PACU of SFI group show no significant difference compared with the NSC group (P > 0.05). SFI and normal saline intravenous injection did not cause significant changes on HR and MAP at the time of 5 min , 15 min and 45 min compared to the time of before administration (P > 0.05). The incidence of restlessness during the patients resuscitation period in SFI group were lower than in NSC group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Shenfu injection can effectively improve the awakening quality and decrease the incidence of restlessness of the patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis undergoing splenectomy under general anesthesia during the awakening period in PACU.

Objective To analyze the effect of reconstruction for the proximal or distal femoral defect by a composite of massive frozen allograft and prosthesis replacement. Methods According to Enneking's classification, malignant bone tumors of the proximal or distal femur were widely resected in 28 cases. Reconstruction of the affected hip or knee joint after major joint removal was done by a composite of allograft and prosthesis. A conventional femoral component with a stem long enough to provide good fixation in the femoral shaft was threaded over a customized allograft. After the assembly had been reduced and checked for size and position, the allograft was cemented to the femoral component, and the composite was in turn cemented into the femoral shaft with PMMA. Results 26 patients were followed up from 6 to 78 months with an average of 41 months. 3 cases died within 18 months following operation; 4 case sustained recurrences within 8 months postoperatively, and underwent re-resection; and the others were alive without diseases. All patients had no dislocation, loosening or breakage of prosthesis. X-rays showed the time of bone healing between allograft and host femur was an average of 7.4 months (range, 5 to 11 months), and the rate of bone healing was 92% (24/26). Absorption was seen around allograft greater trochanter of femur in 9 cases and at femoral condyle in 6 cases. 13 cases with total hip composite replacement had good active extension-flexion degrees of an average of 85?( range, 71? to 124?), and 13 with total knee composite replacement had a rang of motion of 92?(range, 68? to 135?). The postoperative average ISOLS scale score of 26 cases by Enneking's system was 26.2 point (range, 22 to 28). Conclusion The clinical result demonstrated the composite of massive frozen allograft and prosthesis replacement has the advantages of both allograft and prosthesis. Its best indications are that the patients with a major femoral defect from benign or low grade malignant tumor have longer survival expectancy.
