Objective To evaluate the effects of amiodarone on connexin43 (Cx43) expression during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:shame operation group (group S),I/R group and amiodarone group (group AM).Myocardial ischemia was induced by occlusion of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion in I/R and AM groups.Amiodarone 5.0 mg/kg was injected intravenously at 10 min before ischemia followed by infusion at a rate of 0.15 mg· kg-1 · min 1 until the end of reperfusion.Arrhythmia was recorded during reperfusion and scored.At the end of reperfusion,blood samples were taken from the femoral artery for determination of the serum levels of cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB).Then the animals were sacrificed and myocardial specimens were removed for determination of the expression of Cx43 protein (by immuno-histochemistry) and mRNA (by RT-PCR) in myocardial tissues.Results Compared with group S,the arrhythmia score and serum levels of CK-MB and cTnl were significantly increased,and the expression of Cx43 protein and mRNA was downregulated in I/R and AM groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group I/R,the arrhythmia score and serum levels of CK-MB and cTnI were significantly decreased,and the expression of Cx43 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in group AM (P ＜ 0.05).Myocardial Cx43 was unevenly distributed in group I/R,while evenly distributed in S and AM groups.Conclusion The mechanism by which amiodarone protects myocardium against I/R-induced arrhythmia is related to inhibition of redistribution of Cx43 and up-regulation of Cx43 expression in rats.

Objective To identify various arteriographic manifestations and the curative effects of emergency embolization of renal hemorrhage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Methods Emergency arteriography was performed in 21 patients of renal hemor-rhage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Emergency embolotherapy was conducted by using different embolic agents such as gelat-in sponge,polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)particles and coils after bleeding arteries were identified.The arteriographic manifestations and the curative effects of the treatment for renal hemorrhage were retrospectively analyzed.Results Contrast extravasations were con-firmed in 21 patients,among them,4 contrast extravasations with arteriovenous fistulas(AVF)of renal artery;3 pseudoaneurysms of renal artery.The hemorrhage completely stopped after emergent embolotherapy in 21 cases.During follow-up,no rebleedings and severe complications occurred.Conclusion Emergency arterial embolization for renal hemorrhage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a safe and effective treatment.The key to successful treatment is to select embolization agent reasonably and embolize the bleeding arteries thoroughly and completely.

Objective The study was to compare the effect of sufentanil and morphine preconditioning on ischemia /reperfusion-induced ventricular arrhythmias and the expression and distribution of myocardial Cx43 in rats.The regulation mechanisms that how sufentail and morphine lead to the change of Cx43 were also studied.Methods 32 male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:sham operation group (group C),ischemia/reperfusion (group I/R),morphine preconditioning group(group M) and sufentanil preconditioning group(group S),each group had 8 rats.Established myocardial ischemia/reperfusion model,continuous recorded Ⅱ ECG,mean arterial pressure(MAP) and heart rate(HR).The ventricular arrhythmias at the 30 min before reperfusion was observed and the ventricular arrhythmias score of each group was calculated by ECG analysis; expression and distribution of Cx43 protein were observed by immunohistochemical technique.Results Compared with group C,the HR,MAP,RPP of group I/R were decreased obviously (P ＜ 0.05),while the arrhythmia score was significantly higher(P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group I/R,the extent of the declined of HR,MAP,RPP of group M and group S were eased significantly(P ＜ 0.05) and arrhythmia score was significantly lower(P ＜ 0.05).The HR,MAP,RPP of group M and group S are closer(P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the group C,Cx43 expression level in group I/R was significantly reduced (P ＜ 0.05) and the distribution was disordered,while compared with the group I/R,Cx43 expression level in group M and group S were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05),and its distribution was structured.In group M and group S,Cx43 expression level were closer(P ＞ 0.05) and so as their distribution.Conclusion Sufentanil and morphine could inhibit the reduction of myocardial Cx43 expression level and improve its distribution which could played an important role in anti-arrhythmic during ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective To investigate the effect of SVV guided fluid therapy on blood gas and lipopolysaccharide (LPS),procalcitonin (PCT) in patients undergoing resection of gastrointestinal tumor.Methods Sixty patients aged 60 85 years from Jan,2016 to Feb,2017 falling into ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for elective radical operations for gastrointestinal cancers,were includ ed and randomly divided into two groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:ScvO2 guided fluid therapy (group C),SVV guided fluid therapy (group G).MAP,HR and CVP of patients were recorded at the same time before anesthesia (T0),tumor removal (T1) and the end of surgery (T2)respectively.PH,BE,HCO3-and Lac of venous blood samples and artery blood samples at T0-T2,6 hours after surgery(T3) were recorded.Venous blood samples were collected at T0,T3 to detect LPS and PCT.Crystalloid requirements,colloid requirements,total volume,bleeding volume,peritoneal fluid volume and the use of dopamine were recorded.The time of PACU,time when the patients first exhausted and was fed after operation,length of hospital stay after operation were recorded.Results Compared with group C,BE of artery blood was obviously increased at T2,T3 in group G (P＜0.05);the Lac of artery at T2 and the Lac of artery and venous blood at T3 in group G was obvi ously decreased.LPS and PCT were decreased at T3 in group G (P＜0.05).Compared with group C,the needed colloid was increased in group G,the needed crystalloid and total volume of fluid infused were decreased in group G (P＜0.05).Compared with group C,the time of PACU starting to exhaust and feed,length of hospital was shortened in group G (P＜0.05).Conclusion SW guided goal directed fluid therapy is more conductive to maintain the acid base and reduce the incidence of in fection for the patients with gastrointestinal tumor operation,promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function and decrease the length of hopital after operations.

Objective To investigate the current status of job burnout among anesthetists in Ningxia and to analyze its related risk factors.Methods A total of 310 anesthetists from 30 public hospitals in Ningxia were conducted to collect data on the job burnout by Maslach Burnout InventoryHuman Services Survey (MBI-HSS).The factors associated with severe job burnout and its three domains (high emotional exhaustion,high depersonalization and low personal accomplishment) were included in the multinomial logistic regression analysis.Results The incidence of job burnout and its three domains (high emotional exhaustion,depersonalization and low personal accomplishment) were 18 (5.81％) cases,134 (43.22％) cases,35 (11.29％) cases and 128 (41.29％) cases,respectively.Multinomial logistic regression analysis results indicated that the risk degree associated with job burnout was master and higher degree (OR=4.695,95％CI 1.556-4.172).The risk facts associated with three components of job burnout were work time per week [40-60 h (OR=4.420,CI 2.504-7.802);≥60 h (OR =7.469,95％CI 1.758-31.733)] and tertiary hospital (OR =1.847,95％oCI 1.112-3.069);master and higher degree (OR=2.306,95％CI 1.032-5.155),working years [6-15 years (OR=0.358,95％CI 0.135-0.949)] and cases of anesthesia per year [≥390 cases (OR =3.352,95％CI 1.301-8.639)];secondary hospital (OR =1.717,95％CI 1.045-2.823).Conclusion This survey indicates that job burnout exists among anesthetists in Ningxia and is mainly displayed in emotional exhaustion and low personal accomplishment domains.Master and higher degree tend to occur serve job burnout.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia.Methods A total of 112 patients,aged 65-75 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery with general anesthesia,were randomly divided into control group (C group,n =54) and HBO group (n =58).Patients were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber once a day from day 3 to day 12 after surgery in both groups.Pressure was slowly increased to 2 atmosphere absolute within 20 min,pure oxygen was inhaled for 35 min by mask,5 min later pure oxygen was inhaled for another 35 min,oxygen inhalation was then stopped and pressure was slowly increased to 1 atmosphere absolute in HBO group.Patients inhaled air at 1 atmosphere absolute for 70 min in C group.Cognitive function score was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination,language ability test,visual identification function test,digit span backwards task and Hasegawa's Dementia Scale (HDS) at 2 days before surgery and 7 and 13 days after surgery.The development of POCD was recorded.Results Compared with the baseline at 2 days before surgery,language ability test,digit span backwards task and HDS scores were significantly decreased at 7 and 13 days after surgery in C group,and digit span backwards task scores were significantly decreased at 7 days after surgery in HBO group (P＜0.05 or 0.01).The language ability test and HDS scores were significantly higher,and the incidence of POCD was lower at 7 and 13 days after surgery in HBO group than in C group (P＜0.05).Conclusion HBO therapy can reduce POCD in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia.
